I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

After listening to what his soldiers said, Ma Zhong felt a little incredible, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, Ma Zhong at least understood that Wei Chu and others should be safe for the time being.

Leaving 50 men to guard the frightened prisoners, Ma Zhong continued to move forward with 100 men.

As soon as he reached the end of the street, Ma Zhong saw Zhou Tai.

As soon as he saw the head on Zhou Tai's waist, Ma Zhong couldn't help but asked Zhou Tai loudly: "General, when did you become so powerful? Not only did you kill Xing Daorong, but you also fought with General Wei. Together with General Gan, they killed the defenders in the city and were frightened."

Ma Zhong learned that three people were massacring the defenders.

So Ma Zhong automatically ignored Tai Shici.

After all, Taishi Ci had little reputation.

He followed Wei Chu, rarely speaking, and easily ignored.

After hearing Ma Zhong's words, Zhou Taiwen couldn't help but feel a flash of embarrassment on his face.

In tonight's battle, Zhou Tai basically didn't contribute much.

The two heads on his waist were picked up from the ground.

Before Zhou Tai could explain, Ma Zhong continued: "General, could it be that Yuan Shu's army is too easy to kill?"

Ma Zhong knows Zhou Tai quite well.

On the water, Zhou Tai spent a lot of effort and tried his best to defeat hundreds of enemy troops.

But on land, Zhou Tai's strength will be affected to some extent.

Combined with the enemy's trembling appearance just now.

Ma Zhong believed that it must be because Xing Daorong was killed that the enemy troops lost all morale and turned into a group of little sheep.

"Well, this matter is a bit long. Let's go find General Wei and the others first."

Ma Zhong and others held torches high, and it didn't take long to find Wei Chu and the others.

Wei and Chu were sitting under the eaves of a house covered in blood, with hundreds of corpses lying around them.

Seeing Zhou Tai, Gan Ning couldn't help but grin.

"We were so excited about killing just now that we forgot about you. After the enemy troops retreated, we only thought of you. We never saw you, so we thought you had been killed by the enemy troops. Now that we see you safe and sound, we just not worried."

After hearing Gan Ning's words, Zhou Tai lowered his head in shame.

It turns out that Zhou Tai is also an extremely proud person.

After defecting to Wei Chu, Zhou Tai felt a little uncomfortable at first.

After all, he was a water bandit and lived freely on the Yangtze River.

After defecting to Wei Chu, you will be controlled by Wei Chu.

But now this discomfort has all disappeared.

Zhou Tai is not only convinced by Wei Chu, but also very afraid of Wei Chu.

In short, Zhou Tai has secretly decided.

From now on, Wei Chu will definitely follow the lead and never have any second thoughts.

Strength is the guarantee of loyalty.

Wei Chu stood up and his eyes fell on Ma Zhong.

"Is the city gate open?"

Wei Chu's words made Ma Zhong's heart tighten slightly.

He quickly lowered his head and whispered with some horror: "After I entered Liyang City with three hundred brothers, I heard the sound of fighting in the center of the city. I was worried about the general's safety, so I divided my troops into two groups."

"I personally brought my people here. I don't know much about the situation on the other side of the city gate yet."

"That's it!"

Wei Chu waved his hand to Ma Zhong.

"Send someone to take General Gan and General Taishi down to have a good rest. Zhou Tai, Ma Zhong, you two will follow me to the city gate."

Hearing Wei Chu's words, Zhou Tai couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "General, your physical strength?"

"Don't worry, my physical strength is completely fine."

Ma Zhong found a horse for Wei Chu.

Wei Chu got on his horse and led everyone straight to the city gate.

Just as they were about to reach the city gate, dozens of riders appeared in front of Wei Chu and others.

The leader was none other than Sun Jian's general Huang Gai.

When he first saw Wei Chu, Huang Gai couldn't help laughing excitedly and said: "Hahaha, General Wei, you really did it. 3000 people captured Liyang City, which was defended by [-] people. This battle was enough to be defeated by It’s gone down in history.”

After Huang Gai finished speaking, Zhou Tai couldn't help but whisper to the side: "General, you may have made a mistake. It was not 3000 people who captured Liyang City."

After hearing Zhou Tai's words, Huang Gai glanced at Zhou Tai sideways.

Huang Gai didn't pay much attention to Zhou Tai's unfamiliar face at first.

But when Huang Gai saw the two heads tied around Zhou Tai's waist, Huang Gai immediately raised his eyebrows.

I couldn't help but secretly think, "Who is this guy? Xing Daorong's head is pinned to his waist? Xing Daorong is one of the top ten warriors in the world."

With this thought in his mind, Huang Gai became much more polite to Zhou Tai.

"I don't know who you are?"

"Tay next week."

"So you are Zhou Tai. I have long heard my eunuch mention your name and say that you are a hero across the Yangtze River. Originally, I thought the eunuch was exaggerating. After all, the word hero cannot be used casually."

"Now, I know that my governor did not exaggerate at all. You are indeed a powerful hero."

"What I said before was indeed wrong. The reason why our army was able to capture Liyang City this time was not due to the 3000 people. General Zhou, you should be credited with the first credit!"

Hearing Huang Gai's words, Zhou Tai was very anxious. He was about to explain when he heard Wei Chu say from the side: "General Zhou killed Yan Xiang and Xing Daorong this time. The enemy army was leaderless and was defeated. Afterwards, the discussion Merits are rewarded, and General Zhou should indeed be remembered as the first meritorious service."

"In addition, General Zhou is also very good at leading the navy in battle. I think in the future, we can vigorously develop the navy and let Zhou Tai be in charge of the navy."

Wei Chu will not stay by Sun Jian's side forever.

Therefore, the credit for capturing Liyang City is dispensable to Wei Chu.

Because of this, it is better to give this credit to Zhou Tai.

With this contribution, Zhou Tai will definitely gain greater trust from Sun Jian in the future.

With Sun Jian's trust, it should not be difficult for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to control Sun Jian's navy team.

The navy team under Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin will become an important part of Wei Chu's army going south in the future.

As for loyalty.

Wei Chu is convinced that after tonight's battle, Zhou Tai will never dare to betray Wei Chu.

In Liyang City, the surviving Yuzhou army did not make any resistance. The 3000 people brought by Huang Gai successfully occupied Liyang City.

"Next, we just need to wait for Liu Yao and the prefect to bring their troops to Jiujiang County, and then we can take the second step."

Huang Gai seemed very happy, because things were developing very smoothly, and Huang Gai could basically foresee that Sun Jian would occupy the entire Yangzhou.

As an old employee around Sun Jian, Huang Gai was happy for Sun Jian's achievements.

Huang Gai finished speaking, but Wei Chu waved his hand gently to Huang Gai, "Before the reinforcements arrive, do we need to do one more thing?"

Wei Chu's words made Huang Gai's brows slightly raised.

"What else do we need to do?"

"Taking advantage of the great victory, divide our troops and occupy Wan County in Lujiang County!"
