Sun Ce's army quickly set out for Chenliu. Of the four armies, his was the largest.
40,000 cavalrymen, 10,000 infantrymen, and 60,000 supply troops!
The total number of troops was 110,000, and they could scare the Yellow Turban Army!
After the army entered Chenliu, Sun Ce ordered his men to slow down while he looked around as if he was looking for something.
"My lord, did you lose something?”Luo Cheng could not help but ask.
"Have you ever seen someone throw something in front of them?”Sun Ce could not help but reprimand.
Luo Cheng smiled awkwardly, feeling that he had exposed his intelligence.
Sun Ce looked at it for a long time until his eyes hurt, but he didn't find anything.
At noon, the weather was hot. Seeing that there was water flowing in front of them, everyone went to the side to get water, bury their pots, and cook. They took the opportunity to rest.
"My lord, why don't we go hunting and improve our lives?”Xue Rengui took off his bow and arrow, eager to try.
"Good idea!" Sun Ce was overjoyed. Let's go!"
He suddenly remembered that Dian Wei was someone Xiahou Dun had met when he was hunting.
The two of them chased after the beasts along the forest by the river, but they did not find anything along the way.
"There must be some ferocious beast that passed by this area and scared away all the mountain products.”Xue Rengui said with great experience.
As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of a ferocious beast could be heard.
"The roar of a tiger! My lord, we can eat tiger meat today!”
Xue Rengui immediately chased after the sound. Not long after, the two of them saw a fierce tiger running with all its might in front of them. It was rushing towards them. Behind it was a burly man holding two short halberds. He was chasing after it with all his might.
"Don't run! Grandpa will beat you to death today!"
The burly man walked as if he was flying. The fierce tiger was actually panting from his pursuit. Its tongue was hanging out. It was clearly half-dead from exhaustion.
The burly man suddenly saw two more people in front of him. He immediately shouted,"Quickly dodge! Be careful not to get hurt!"
Xue Rengui and Sun Ce smiled at each other. They dismounted their horses and tied them to a tree, but they did not leave.
"It's over. The two of them are gone just like that!”The burly man could not help but sigh." However, I will avenge you!”
The tiger was being chased from behind, and when it saw that someone was blocking its way, it immediately roared and leaped up, wanting to slap Xue Rengui and Sun Ce to death with its claws. However, Xue Rengui suddenly dodged the tiger's sharp claws and extended his arm, grabbing the tiger's head and giving it a beating.
The tiger was in pain and immediately became ferocious. It jumped back and forth, wanting to fight with Xue Rengui. Unexpectedly, Xue Rengui jumped up and rode on the tiger. His legs clamped the tiger's abdomen, his left hand firmly grabbed the tiger's ear, and his right hand suddenly punched the tiger's head three times.
Dong dong dong!
The sound of bones cracking rang out. The tiger's body suddenly tilted and fell to the ground. Looking at its head again, there was actually a hole.
Dian Wei had just arrived. Seeing Xue Rengui so fierce, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he showed displeasure,""You two, I live in the mountains and have nothing to eat. It wasn't easy for me to find it. It's not good for you to snatch the prey like this, right?”
Sun Ce immediately laughed." We don't want this tiger. You can have it. However, if you want to eat good food, you can follow me from now on. I'll see if you can chase the tiger away. You're clearly a strong person. Isn't it a waste to live in the mountains?”
When Dian Wei saw that they were wearing armor, he immediately knew that they were the ones leading the army. His face immediately lit up, but he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but sigh."To tell you the truth, my name is Dian Wei. I was originally serving under the Chen Liu Prefecture Governor Zhang Miao. Because I killed a few of my colleagues, I am now wanted by the government. If he went, he would probably cause trouble for the general.”
Even so, Dian Wei's favorable impression of Sun Ce had already soared from a single digit to 55!
When Sun Ce heard him say that he was Dian Wei, he was immediately overjoyed."What trouble? If I take you to kill the Yellow Turban bandits, that's for the country. Who dares to say no?”
Dian Wei hesitated for a moment, then looked at Sun Ce and asked,""General, Zhang Miao is extremely famous and has many old friends in the court. If he knows that I'm seeking refuge with you, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it.”
"I don't even put He Jin in my eyes," Sun Ce laughed."Why should I fear a mere Zhang Miao?" To tell you the truth, I'm a general of the imperial court, and I've just come from Changshe. If you work under me, I guarantee that you'll be able to hold your head high in the future. You don't have to care about a mere Zhang Miao. In the future, when he sees you, he'll have to be respectful and beg you for help!”
"General, you're actually the Southern Lieutenant General Sun Ce!" In the Battle of Changshe, the general defeated the Yellow Turban army. This matter had already spread like wildfire. The general had even destroyed the Xianbei people before! Dian Wei had long admired this place, but he didn't expect to meet here. Since the general favored him, how could Dian Wei not die for him?”
At this moment, Dian Wei's favorability had already risen to 80!
Sun Ce immediately laughed,"With your help, this battle will be even easier to fight!"”
Xue Rengui saw that Sun Ce had recruited a fierce general after getting his prey, so he grabbed the dead tiger and laughed,""My lord, not only do we have meat to eat today, but we also have a strong warrior. Why don't we go back and eat meat and drink wine to celebrate?”
Sun Ce immediately smiled and nodded in agreement." With a brave general like Dian Wei joining us, of course we have to celebrate today!"”
When Dian Wei heard that there was wine, he almost drooled. In the mountains, he had meat but no wine. He was in so much pain that he almost died. Now that he heard that there was meat and wine, he was instantly interested!
