The heat is burning with fire, and the forest is refreshing and the autumn is brought by the cool wind.

Although it is the turn of summer and autumn, the afternoon sun is still hot, and there may be gusts of warm wind blowing, which makes people feel even hotter. The sound of cicadas and birds still ringing among the thick green trees is still endless.

15 miles southeast of Shenting Ridge, a Jiangdong army of about 3,000 is "slowly" retreating towards Shenting Ridge. As they pass by, flags and weapons that have been discarded on the ground can be seen from time to time.

The first row of the team was the prefect of Wujun and General Yanglie Sun Jing, who rode his horse carefully, kept looking back at the soldiers behind him.

"Sir, our marching speed seems to be a little faster!" Zhu Huan, who was covered in iron armor and tiger-patterned helmet on his head, rode his horse to Sun Jing and said respectfully.

"Huh~~" Sun Jing wiped the sweat from her face, gasped, and asked with some concern, "Xu Mu, Lu, and the other thieves of Qin have followed me?"

"Don't worry, Lord Prefect, these two rebels have been leading the army closely behind us, but the distance has been pulled a little wider!" Zhu Huan nodded and replied in a harmonious voice to Sun Jing: "It seems that the speed has to be slower!"

"The marching speed is already so slow, but they still can't keep up?" Sun Jing felt a little incredible at the slowness of the rebels following behind, and said in surprise.

"Sir, you really look up to Lu and Qin thieves..." Zhu Huan said with a smile, "Most of these rebels are untrained mobs, at best they are just a group of mobs. If they weren't for their large numbers and most of our soldiers were new soldiers, it would be easy to defeat this group of rebels!"

"Haha..." Sun Jing was deeply calmed down by the confidence revealed in Zhu Huan's words and said with a smile: "What Xiu Mu said is very much!"

"Master Prefect, as long as the rebels dare to pursue Shenting Ridge, they will definitely be without a return. Shenting Ridge will be the burial place for the two thieves Lu and Qin!" Zhu Huan said with an extremely affirmative tone.

"It is considered the fate of the two thieves of Lu and Qin!" Sun Jing looked at the direction of Shenting Ridge in the northwest and said with a little melancholy, "Thinking about the past... Bo Fu quickly defeated Liu Yao after the war in Shenting, attacked Danyang, and finally unified Jiangdong... If Bo Fu was still there, how could the treacherous thieves dare to make trouble? How could Liu Biao and Liu Bei look at me in Jiangdong head-on... Alas!" It was obvious that Sun Jing thought of the young master of the Sun family, the young overlord Sun Ce!

"The prefect does not need to worry, some internal thieves are not worth worrying at all. As for the two foreign enemies Liu, with the view of Huan, with the blessing of the lord and the governor of Zhou, they will be able to expel them from the land of Jiangdong in a short time!" Zhu Huan comforted with confidence, "The dilemma in front of him is only a temporary difficulty!"

"Yeah~!" Sun Jing nodded slightly and said to Zhu Huan in a harmonious voice, "Xu Mu, please let the team slow down a little, but you can't be seen by Lu, the two thieves in Qin!"

"Yes!" Zhu Huan clasped his fists and responded in a deep voice. Then he rode his horse back and shouted loudly:

"The whole army obeys the orders and slows down!"

"Take a few more flags!"

"Take some of the prepared weapons too! Make sure to make the traitors think we are running away!"

Seeing Zhu Huan galloping back and forth in the team and shouting loudly from time to time, Sun Jing couldn't help but smile knowingly: When he received the news of the rebellion of Lu He and Qin Lang, the young Zhu Huan showed calmness and sophistication, even far beyond his own. He was almost at a loss when he was panicked, but Zhu Huan was able to remain calm in the face of danger. After careful planning, he decided to quickly suppress the rebellion by defending the troops of Wucheng, Qu'a and Biling. Then, after understanding the specific information of the rebels, Zhu Huan quickly planned a plan to deceive the defeat and lure the enemy into the ambush. Judging from the current situation, the plan to lure the enemy was implemented quite smoothly. Without any accident, this battle could wipe out all the main forces of the rebels, and even capture and kill the rebel chiefs together, and then quell the rebellion in one fell swoop.

With such a young hero, why worry that my Sun family cannot overcome difficulties and achieve great achievements? Sun Jing has no jealousy about Zhu Huanyuan's ability to manage the army and fight, but is happy to see him. With Sun Jing's age and personality, he is destined to not do anything like the younger generation of the Sun clan, such as Sun Yi, Sun Yu, etc., to compete for merit and profit with foreign generals.

…………………………………………….

About 3 miles behind the Jiangdong army, who had "fled in a hurry", Lu He, who called himself "King of Wu", was urged to speed up the march in order to catch up with the defeated army in Jiangdong. But what made Lu He even more moved was that there was a crucial figure among the defeated army - Sun Quan's uncle, the prefect of Wu County Sun Jing. If Sun Jing can capture or kill Sun Jing, it will be extremely beneficial for Lu He to control Wu County.

"Run quickly, don't let the Sun family thieves escape!" Lu He rode his horse and whipped, shouting loudly, "After catching up with the defeated army in front, who can capture and kill the thief chief Sun Jing? I will directly sign him as a general and give him a reward of 100 kilograms!"

Lu He, who was about 40 years old, was tall and strong, with short beards and long faces, and had a bit of majestic appearance. Lu He was originally a branch of the Lu family of Jiangdong clan, but his family was extremely rich, with thousands of fertile land and countless houses. When it comes to family wealth, he even surpassed the one of the Lu family's original family, and there were no one in the Yangxian realm. However, Lu He was not willing to be a farmer. He believed in prophecies and divination and asked a famous minister to meet him in his early years. The minister thought that he had a very good face, especially after he was 40 years old, he had a "true dragon spirit" that could penetrate the canopy and achieve the great cause of the emperor. Lu He treated the prophecies and divination of the "god" as a treasure, so he made careful preparations for his "emperor" cause.

He was waiting for the opportunity mentioned by the "Shen Xiang". As of this year, Lu He happened to be 40 years old, and the excellent opportunity that made him happy actually appeared. The Sun family, who was in Jiangdong, was attacked by Liu Biao and Liu Bei in Jingzhou, Shouchun, at the same time, and Sheng Xian, the former prefect of Wu County, also rose up and rebelled. For a moment, the Sun family's foundation was in a panic and the situation was very tight. Later, although Sheng Xian was quickly killed by Zhou Yu, the crisis of Sun's family did not change much. Seeing that the Sun family's army was trapped on the battlefield on the Western Front, and in some unknown year, it would be possible to end the battle with the Jingzhou army, Lu He finally couldn't help but connect with another wealthy Yangxian clan, Qin Lang, who was like his own, officially launched an army, proclaimed himself "King of Wu", and appointed Qin Lang as the prefect of Wu County.

"King, if you chase forward, you will almost reach Shenting Ridge. The terrain is complicated and it is not good for us to fight!" Qin Lang, who was thin-looking, rode his horse to Lu He and advised cautiously, "It's better to chase this place for now!"

"Hahaha..." Lu He laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry about Hede (Qin Lang's word) So what else can Sun Jing do if he is defeated? Look at how many flags and weapons Sun Jing's defeated army lost along the way, and they may have lost all the things that can be lost. What else is worth worrying about with such a defeated army?"

"Just just now, the return of the whistle-study Sun Jing's defeated army was getting slower and slower. It seems that their strength has been exhausted. As long as they add another force, they will definitely catch up with them. If they can capture Sun Jing..." Lu Heyi touched the short beard under his chin and laughed, "The other cities in Wujun are within their control! Then we will attract the victorious army to seize Kuaiji and Danyang, why worry about the great cause not being achieved!"

Seeing that Lu He was so confident, Qin Lang did not dare to dissuade him anymore. He had to hide his worries in his heart and urge the soldiers to march according to Lu He's order.

Stimulated by Lu He's heavy reward promise, the soldiers who were already tired all fought for the first place, and accelerated to chase Sun Jingjun in front like a new life. However, Lu He's lack of training and the disadvantages of not having good command immediately appeared. In a moment, the marching formation was completely chaotic, just like a pile of sand.

Seeing Lu He leading his army to chase him gradually, Sun Jingjun also raised his speed a little, always maintaining a distance of about one mile from him. The two armies gradually approached the southern foot of Shentingling Mountain, one in front and one behind.

……………………………………………

As the hour of You approaches, the sun gradually faded into the west mountain. Sun Jing's army finally "escape" to the bottom of Shenting Ridge, but its speed has become quite slow, and it is less than 300 steps away from Lu Hejun.

Lu He could clearly see the only remaining "Sun"-shaped flag in the team in front of him. You can imagine that Sun Jing must be next to the handsome flag (the handsome flag follows the main general). An extremely excited look appeared on his face. Lu He roared and said, "The Sun family's defeated army is right in front of me, chase me!"

"Roar over and kill!" Qin Lang took the lead, waved the sword in his hand, and kept shouting at the soldiers under his command to follow. At this time, Qin Lang had also eliminated his concerns - looking at the behavior of many Sun Jingjun soldiers in front, they clearly fled for the desperate situation, and it was not as if they were pretending to be fake.

It’s not that Sun Jing’s soldiers’ acting skills are so superb. Many people are really afraid. Although Zhu Huan had already explained in advance that there would be his own ambush on Shenting Ridge, so that the soldiers under his command would not be afraid of being nervous. But after all, more than half of the people in the team were recruited shortly afterwards. Seeing that the enemy was chasing them closer and closer, they couldn’t help but flee in fear.

Obviously, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, and Zhu Huan's expression changed slightly. But soon, he calmed down and said anxiously to Sun Jing beside him: "Sir, you can't continue to retreat, otherwise you will have to become a real defeat! Fortunately, the rebels have entered the ambush range, and we can attack!"

"Okay!" Although he was a little panicked, Sun Jing nodded calmly and replied: "Xu Mu, everything will be left to you!"

"The last general will take the order!" Zhu Huan responded in a deep voice, then took out his strong bow from the side of the horse, drew out a special sound arrow, and quickly fired the arrow!

"Swoosh~!" The arrow rose into the sky with a roar, and the shrill whistling sound continued to echo in the mountains.

"Kill!" In a moment, the shouts of killing sounded like a shock from behind the hills on both sides.
