They wanted to approach him and start a conversation, but Fang Chen disappeared in an instant. They had no choice but to follow the direction he had gone and finally found him.
“Sister, let’s go back. It’s Lord Fang who doesn’t want to go, and we can at least give Father an explanation,” Qiao Wei said, turning around.
In her mind, time was extremely precious for a mysterious figure like Lord Fang.
"Um."
Qiao Wan agreed and walked side by side with Qiao Wei, gradually disappearing into the distance.
......
At this moment, we are seventy miles away from Wancheng.
A large army marched swiftly, led by a general in white robes and riding a white horse, carrying a long, jet-black spear with scattered starlight shimmering on its surface.
The spearhead was sharp, displaying extraordinary power.
Behind the white-robed general followed three dark brown horses, one of whom was dressed as a scholar.
The group chatted as they marched.
"Strategist, this great victory at Danyang was all thanks to your strategy; otherwise, we wouldn't have succeeded so easily!" The white-robed general turned to the scholar on the brown horse behind him and said.
"Why......"
The scholar waved his hand modestly and said, "My lord, all of this is due to your divine might. Without you, even if I, Zhang Hong, were to have the most brilliant strategies, I could not have taken Danyang!"
"What merit or ability do I, Sun Ce, possess to have the assistance of a strategist? When I unify Jiangdong, the strategist will be the greatest contributor!"
Sun Ce took a deep breath and looked at the scholar beside him.
"host......"
Just as Zhang Hong was about to speak, a rider suddenly galloped towards them from afar.
Before long, they arrived.
"My lord, our scouts have arrived," the scholar said slowly, stroking his beard.
"Report!"
The scout approached, dismounted, and knelt on one knee to report, "Reporting to my lord, the gates of Wan City are tightly closed. Prefect Lu Kang has already handed over Lujiang to the Fang family army!"
"What?!"
"What!"
Upon hearing the scout's report, the white-robed general's expression suddenly changed.
What's going on?
Fang! Jia! Jun?
What kind of force is this?
How come I've never heard of this before?
In Sun Ce's mind, Wan City was already his for the taking.
It's just a matter of waiting for him to pick it up.
Now, it has been taken away by an unknown force. How could he not be furious?
"Say it again carefully, don't omit a single word!" At this moment, Zhang Hong's expression changed slightly as he spoke to the scout.
"Yes, strategist!"
The scout nodded and said, "The leader of the Fang family army is a young man named Fang Chen, who is about the same age as our lord. Three days ago, Zu Lang massacred 10,000 people in the city, but was defeated by Fang Chen's Fang family army of less than 200 men. Zu Lang was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and was captured alive by the Fang family army."
"What?! Two hundred men defeated the bandit leader Zu Lang's force of ten thousand?!"
At this moment, Sun Ce and Zhang Hong were both taken aback. They had been attacking Danyang County for the past few days, and after taking Danyang County, they immediately attacked Wancheng, intending to unify Jiangdong with overwhelming force!
But they still won against 10,000 people.
Such a record is unprecedented in history, isn't it?
Are you sure?
Sun Ce looked at the scout with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.
"My lord, it's absolutely true!!"
The scout, seeing Sun Ce's gaze, instinctively shrank back, but still straightened his chest and confirmed.
"I didn't expect I'd still be a step too late!!"
Sun Ce's gaze darkened as he looked in the direction of Wan City, thinking to himself, "No matter who it is, Jiangdong belongs to me, Sun Ce, and I will take it back!"
"My lord, Wancheng is a vital town in Jiangdong, and we must take it as soon as possible!"
Zhang Hong, standing to the side, frowned and said, "Only by establishing a foothold in Jiangdong and consolidating our position can we then plot to conquer the world!"
"Pass on my military order: the entire army must speed up its march and reach Wancheng before sunset!"
Sun Ce brandished his spear and spurred his horse away at full speed.
"drive!"
