Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jiangdong generals received the order and ordered their soldiers to execute it.  I saw a group of Jiangdong troops, carrying long spears with cold light, forcing Jiangxia prisoners to jump into the pit. If they didn't obey or were slow, Jiangdong soldiers would immediately raise their guns and stab them without hesitation.

    For a time, there were fierce begging for mercy, desperate cries, and hysterical curses.  Sun Ce, however, kept a cold look on his face until he saw the pits being re-buried with mud. His heart was filled with joy, and the corner of his mouth slowly turned up into a smile, as if he was enjoying the cruel scenes before him.

    By the time all Jiangxia prisoners were trapped and killed, it was already dawn the next day.  At this time, Zhou Yu and Lu Meng sent people to report that Huang Zhong and Gan Ning escaped.  After Sun Ce heard this, he became furious and ordered the two soldiers to report back. They must capture Huang Zhong and Gan Ning. Then he issued a reward order. If the heads of Huang Zhong and Gan Ning were captured, they would be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be granted the title of a thousand households.  .  If the winner is born, he will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.  The generals in Jiangdong were ordered to fight for merit and pursue the attack in a meandering way.

    Huang Zhong was chased by Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and was ambushed again and again. However, he ignored the fatigue of his troops and his injuries, and desperately broke through the encirclement and left Jiangxia.  When Zhou Yu heard that Huang Zhong broke through the ambush he set up repeatedly, he couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart.

    Later, Zhou Yu personally led his troops to pursue him non-stop for days, and chased him as far as Jiujiang. Upon hearing the reports from the Jiangdong soldiers who intercepted him in front of him, Huang Zhong was rescued by a group of Jingzhou soldiers and horses and crossed the river.  Zhou Yu was frightened, fearing that Liu Biao would suddenly attack Jiangdong, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform Sun Ce, and withdrew his troops to temporarily guard Jiujiang. At the same time, he ordered the spy to go to Jingzhou to investigate.

    But it is said that Huang Zhong was repeatedly hunted by Jiangdong soldiers and fled to Jiangdong. When he arrived in Jiujiang, he was already exhausted and his injuries were too serious to be ignored.  Just when Huang Zhong thought he was going to hate Jiujiang, a group of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers and horses suddenly appeared from all the way and killed the pursuers east of Jiangdong.

    Huang Zhong took a quick look and saw that the general who came to save him had a face as heavy as a jujube, eyes as bright as stars, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, huge arms, a powerful body, and a very heroic appearance.  Huang Zhong suppressed his fatigue and pain, bowed his hands, and opened his mouth to ask.

    "A righteous man, you have saved your life. Huang Han Shengding should keep it in mind. If there is an order in the future, he will not hesitate to die! I wonder if the righteous man can tell me his name!?"

    "General Huang, don't be too polite. You are the leader of Jiangxia, and I have always admired you. I am Wei Wenchang of Yiyang. This time, I was ordered by Liu Jingzhou to secretly cross the Yangtze River and enter Jiangdong to rescue General Huang!"

    This general is none other than Liu Biao¡¯s subordinate general Wei Yan.  Huang Zhong saw that Wei Yanchang had obtained such a divine horse, and he couldn't help but think more highly of Wei Yan. After thanking Wei Yan for saving his life, Wei Yan was afraid that there would be pursuers from Jiangdong, so he urged Huang Zhong to leave with him and lead the army to rush towards  Along the river bank, they broke through the pass all the way, killing hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers, and several Jiangdong generals. They were unstoppable and rushed to the river bank like a broken bamboo.

    But when Huang Zhong just stepped onto the boat, he was exhausted and passed out.  Wei Yan hurriedly rescued him and ordered his soldiers to peel off Huang Zhong's armor and saw that there were nearly fifty or sixty large and small blood wounds on Huang Zhong's body. Everyone who saw it turned pale with horror.  Wei Yan quickly ordered his soldiers to sail away and cross the river.  Huang Zhong also escaped.

    On the other side, Zhou Yu heard in Jiujiang that he was going to Jingzhou and made a detailed report.  It was learned that at the same time that Sun Ce was annihilating Huang Zu, Liu Biao followed the advice of his military advisor Kuai Liang, a famous scholar in Jingzhou, and suddenly sent troops to occupy Jiangxia.  As for the team that sneaked into Jiangdong, Zhou Yu was sure to be sent by Liu Biao.

    A few days later, Sun Ce led his troops and came. Hearing that Huang Zhong, his father-killing enemy, had been rescued by Liu Biao, he became furious and wanted to march towards Jiangxia.  Zhou Yu shook his head to stop him.

    "Lord, please be patient and listen to Yu's words. Liu Jingsheng is such a high-ranking city. He knows that Huang Chengjie has ambitions and wants to eradicate it, but he also has the power of the Huang family. This time he actually used our hands to kill people with a borrowed knife! At that moment, he  He ordered his general Han Xuan to lead 50,000 Jingzhou soldiers and occupied Jiangxia. He also ordered Han Xuan to prepare various defense equipment and prepare to resist our Jiangdong army.

    "Nowadays, our Jiangdong army is engaged in fierce battles, and the soldiers are exhausted. We must not advance easily again."  Otherwise, you will fall into Liu Jingsheng's trick. Jingsheng is different from Huang Chengjie. He has been in charge of Jingzhou for a long time and has a deep foundation. If he wants to go to war with him, he must be far-sighted and conserve his energy before he can act!  "

    "Then Liu Jingsheng dares to use me, Jiangdong, to kill someone with a borrowed knife!! Wow!! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!!!"

    When Sun Ce heard this, he burst into anger and roared loudly.  Zhou Yu, on the other hand, was calm, his bright eyes were shining, his mind was spinning, and he was thinking quickly.

    After a while, after Sun Ce was discouraged, Zhou Yu slowly opened his mouth to persuade.

    "Nowadays, the soldiers are tired and the late lord has just died. My lord, please return to Wuhui first to appease people's hearts and let the soldiers in the army rest for half a year. I predict that in half a year, the world will undergo great changes. For this reason, lord, I must make sufficient preparations to welcome  Such a big change!¡±

    "How do you say this, Gong Jin?"

    Zhou Yu¡¯s face became extremely solemn in a rare way. Sun Ce was surprised when he saw it.  Zhou Yu's wisdom is close to that of a demon, and he knows everything about the world.??This was the first time Sun Ce had seen him look so dignified.

    "The situation in the world is about to be determined. The era of feudal princes competing in the Central Plains has passed. ¡ô General Wen Han first killed Han Sui in Yongzhou, defeated Ma Teng, and captured all the land in Yongzhou. In recent years, he led his troops to defeat Ma Chao, son of Ma Teng, and  By conquering Liangzhou, Bingzhou and Hedong, Wenhan has become the overlord of the northwest.

    Cao Cao, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, also defeated Yuan Shao in Hebei and seized the Yuan clan's three states of Ji, You and Qing. His jurisdiction covered nearly half of the country, making him the most powerful prince in the world.

    Cao Cao and Wen Han have the foundation to conquer the world.  At present, the remaining powerful princes in the world are Liu Jiyu of Yizhou, Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou, Zhang Gongqi of Hanzhong, and the lord you who owns the land of Jiangdong, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou. Facing Cao Cao and Wen Han, we can only hold on to them.  Sooner or later, the power will be destroyed in the hands of these two people. In this way, the only person in the world who can compete with these two people is the Lord.

    "My lord wants to compete with Cao and Wen for the world, so he must not be careless in the slightest. Both of them are heroes that have never been seen in a hundred generations."  Cao and Wen have both won great victories in Hebei and Xiliang in recent years, and have gained great momentum. At this time, their troops are all recuperating. After half a year, Cao and Wen will definitely send out troops again.  Expansion of power.  According to Yu's expectation, Cao Cao would most likely go south to capture Jingzhou, and Wenhan was almost certain to send troops to capture Hanzhong.

    At present, the one the lord needs to be wary of most is Cao Cao. If Cao Cao attacks Jingzhou, the next step is likely to take advantage of the situation and take Jiangdong directly.  Cao Cao defeated the Yuan family and recruited nearly hundreds of thousands of surrendered troops. In addition to the more than 300,000 troops he originally had, it was heard that Cao Cao was recruiting new troops in the states under his jurisdiction.  Cao Cao was so powerful that it was difficult for Liu Jingsheng to resist. If Cao Cao attacked with all his strength, Jingzhou might not be able to defend it for more than a year.  When Cao Cao captures Jingzhou and reaches Jiangdong, the Lord will most likely face nearly a million Cao Cao's troops!  "

    "One million Cao troops!?"

    Even Sun Ce, who was known as the Little Overlord, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this number, and there was even more fear in his eyes.

    "That's right. If my lord only hopes to become the king of one side, he can surrender to Cao Cao when the time comes. In order to determine the overall situation and prepare for the battle with Wen Bufan, Cao Cao is determined to make the lord king. But if the lord aspires to the world, he must do it now.  Prepare to resist Cao Cao¡¯s army of millions in the future!¡±

    Zhou Yu said calmly and cautiously.  Sun Ce's expression changed continuously, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked.

    "At that time, we will have to imitate the old plan to overthrow Yuan Gongli. We will first pretend to surrender to Cao Cao and secretly join forces with Wen Bufan. When Cao Cao and Wen Bufan go to war, we will take advantage of the situation to attack Jingzhou and take its hinterland, Luoyang!"

    When Zhou Yu heard this, he shook his head and retorted without hesitation.

    "Cao Cao is a great hero in this world. How can someone like Yuan Jiujiu be comparable? How can the lord's plan be hidden from Cao Cao. Once the lord surrenders to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will definitely find a way to seize all the power from the lord and remove his minions.  , Yi Bin will prepare for the war between him and Wen Bufan without making any mistakes. If Cao Cao discovers that the lord is pretending to surrender, he will launch a large-scale war to attack the lord. At that time, we will lose the opportunity, and the situation will be even more unfavorable for us!  !¡±

    "In this case, even if I truly surrender to Cao Cao, wouldn't I just be a prince without great power!?"

    Sun Ce let out a big breath, his eyes filled with unwillingness.  The Sun family had finally accumulated the foundation to dominate the world now, and Sun Ce was absolutely unwilling to give it up.

    "If not, my lord will face millions of Cao Cao's troops in the future! If I can win, my lord can keep his foundation and sit back and observe the situation to plan for the world. If he loses, my lord and even our civil and military forces will surely suffer a great disaster.  There is no place to die! I don¡¯t know if my lord will surrender or not!¡±

    Zhou Yuhao's eyes burst out with brilliant brilliance. Sun Ce stared at him and shouted word by word from his mouth.

    "Ning! Die! No! Surrender!"

    "Okay! This is my sworn brother, Zhou Gongjin! I am willing to fight to the death for my lord!"

    Zhou Yu cupped his hands and bowed to Sun Ce.  Sun Ce hurriedly held him up, his eyes no longer filled with fear, now filled with ardent fighting spirit.

    "With Gong Jin helping me, I am like a tiger with two wings. Even if I face millions of Cao Cao, I will not be afraid!"

    "So, please listen to me, my lord. For now, let's put aside the grudges against our former lord and call it a day. Let the Jiangdong soldiers recharge their batteries and prepare for the future battle with Cao Cao!"

    "What Gong Jin said is true. The overall situation is indeed the most important thing at the moment. After Cao Cao is defeated, with our Jiangdong power, it will be easy to get rid of the little Huang Hansheng!"

    Sun Ce nodded heavily, and then followed Zhou Yu's words, gave up his intention to attack Jingzhou, and ordered all troops to withdraw from Jiujiang and rush to Wuhui.  After Sun Ce returned to Wuhui, he allowed all the troops to rest and recuperate. At the same time, he recruited talented people, treated others with humiliation, and consolidated the civil and military aspirations of Jiangdong. At the same time, he vigorously promoted Lu Meng, Ling Tong, and others.Wu, Pan Zhang and other young generals asked these young generals to recruit soldiers and horses from various places and train new armies.

    Sun Ce worked hard, made arrangements, and carefully prepared for the battle with Cao Cao's million-strong army that Zhou Yu expected in the near future.

    But he said that in Jingzhou not long ago, Liu Biao had known that Huang Zu was ambitious and had wanted to get rid of it for a long time. Later, when he saw Huang Zu attacking Jiangdong, he called for military adviser Kuai Liang to discuss it.

    Kuai Liang, courtesy name Zirou, was from Zhonglu, Nanjun. He was the brother of Kuai Yue. He was very resourceful. The two brothers assisted Liu Biao and assisted him in his success.  He was highly regarded by Liu Biao and was even praised by Liu Biao as having "Yong Ji's Theory".

    Kuai Liang saw Zhou Yu's plan and told Liu that Huang Zu would definitely die if he attacked Jiangdong. Kuai Liang thought to himself that he wanted to send troops to rescue him because his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.  But Kuai Liang advised him to take this opportunity to let Sun Ce get rid of Huang Zu's cancer.  Then he taught Liu Biao how to secretly recruit troops and horses, and brought back Jiangxia. Biao obeyed, and immediately sent General Han Xuan to lead troops to Jiangxia.  Among them, Kuai Liang also advised Huang Zu's general Huang Hansheng, who had extraordinary martial arts and was praised by the people of Jiangxia as the Bi of Jiangxia.  Therefore, Liu Biao was asked to send an elite army to sneak into the east of the Yangtze River to rescue Huang Zhong. Biao also agreed and sent Wei Yan to lead an elite army to secretly cross the Yangtze River. In the end, Wei Yan also completed his mission and rescued Huang Zhong.

    With the death of Huang Zu, Jingzhou's wealthy "Huang clan" immediately lost power, indicating that their power was somewhat more stable, and I was secretly happy.  At this time, Liu Bei was in the process of attacking the surrendered generals Zhang Wu and Chen Sun in Xiangyang. When the battle situation became known, Liu Biao sent people to investigate.

    It is said that Liu Bei led his generals and led 30,000 troops to Xiangyang. When Wu and Chen Sun learned that they had led their troops to greet him, Bei, Pan, Zhang, Taishi, and Hua went out to the gate to see Zhang.  The horse that Wu rides is extremely majestic, with bright eyes and quite human nature. He couldn't help but sigh.

    "This must be a thousand-mile horse that is hard to come by! It's a pity that it was ridden by mediocre people like Zhang Wu, and its talent was buried."

    Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei laughed loudly and shouted in his thunderous voice.

    "Brother, there is no need to sigh. If you like it, I will snatch it for you!"

    After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he thrust out his eight-foot-long snake spear and charged towards the formation, shouting loudly and calling Zhang Wu to fight.

    ¡°You little thief Zhang Wu, come out and fight quickly!!¡±

    Zhang Fei made a loud noise and insulted Zhang Wu, which spread throughout the other armies.
