Sun Ce no longer cared about the calmness and majesty of his coach. Amidst his screams, he was so panicked that he turned his horse to go ahead and fled towards the southeast. Sun Ce was scared away, and Cao Pi was even more frightened. Under the protection of Dian Wei, he fled overland towards Chaisang. The setting sun is like blood. The river water along the coast is already red, and the turbid water is full of corpses, which are constantly being beaten onto the beach by the river waves. From the water camp by the river to the dry camp on the shore, a wide blood-colored carpet stretches away, with broken limbs and mutilated bodies scattered throughout. In the sky above our heads, a group of crows are circling and singing happily, preparing to enjoy this long-awaited feast of human flesh. Yuan Fang rode his horse into the dry camp slowly. When he passed by a tilted banner with the word "Sun", he lightly kicked the remaining flag to the ground. Yuan Fang rode his horse and stepped on it with his head held high. Outside the Chinese military tent that originally belonged to Sun Ce, the imperial flag with the word "Qi" had been erected high. A horse came galloping towards him, and it was Tai Shici who was covered in blood. "Your Majesty, all the battalions have been captured by our army. It's a pity that Sun Ce escaped." Taishi Ci was excited, but also a little regretful. Sun Ce ran really fast. Before Yuan Fang's army could encircle him, he led less than 10,000 soldiers and horses to flee toward the northeast. Zhang Jaw's troops along the way had not yet completed the encirclement. After killing more than a thousand people, Sun Ce and Cao Pi led eight thousand remaining soldiers to escape from the encirclement and fled in a hurry overland towards Chaisang. Although Sun Ce left, in the battle of Chibi, they annihilated nearly 50,000 Cao-Sun coalition forces and captured Huang Gai, Pang Tong, and Huang Zhong. He even killed Cao Cao and injured Zhou Yu with an arrow. More importantly, he captured the Chibi Fortress and opened the door to Jiangdong. It is not an exaggeration to describe the result of this battle as a complete victory. "It doesn't matter that Sun Ce escaped. There will still be opportunities in the future. He was able to escape for a while, but how can he escape for the rest of his life?" Yuan Fang sneered. Taishi Ci's blood started to rise again, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty is right. When our army comes to build a city, I will capture Sun Ce alive. I will present that guy to Your Majesty." Yuan Fang laughed heartily and wildly. proud. "This battle is won, and all the soldiers of the three armies have worked hard. We will rest here for a day. Tomorrow we will mobilize all the troops. Go eastward with the river, and follow me to Xiakou -" A happy Yuan Fang looked around at the soldiers. Shouted loudly. The bloodied soldiers on the left and right were all joyful, waving their weapons, and shouted "Long live" to Yuan Fang in unison. ¡°Long live¡ª¡± ¡°Long live¡ª¡± That excited cry overshadowed the sound of the roaring river, causing the crows circling overhead to fly away, and even changing the color of the world. Amidst the excited shouts, Yuan Fang raised his eyes to the east and said with a sneer: "Sun Ce, Cao Cao has been destroyed. The only person who prevents me, Yuan Fang, from unifying the world is you. It's time to settle the grudges between you and me. "The setting sun is like blood, and Hunting's fighting spirit is burning like fire in this broken battlefield. ¡¡that night. ?? Chibi Camp, the Chinese Army¡¯s tent. Yuan Fang sat high up and ordered Huang Zhong to be captured and escorted up. Not long after, Huang Zhong, who was gray-headed and pale-faced, was escorted up. Huang Zhong, who was escorted into the tent, stood there like an iron tower with his head held high and not kneeling, showing no sign of humiliation. "Huang Hansheng, you have fought against me many times, and today you finally fell into my hands. What else can you say?" Yuan Fang stared at the veteran and asked in a deep voice. When the emperor was angry, he could take Huang Zhong's life with just a flick of his finger. It seems that Huang Zhong had expected this moment and was defeated at the hands of Yuan Fang. Huang Zhong had no regrets or resentment, but only a sense of relief. "Yuan Fang, you are both wise and brave. In just a few years, you have mastered martial arts to the point where you can change your marrow. You are truly a rare person. I lost to you. I am convinced of my defeat. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, do it." When he closed his eyes, he looked like he was dying. With just a wave of his hand, Yuan Fang would have his subordinates swarm forward with swords and axes, and chop Huang Zhong into mincemeat. However, Yuan Fang did not make any move for a long time. He just stared at Huang Zhong, smiled lightly, and looked at the most powerful general in Jingxiang in front of him with an appreciative look. Huang Zhong waited for a long time, but did not wait for the moment when Yuan Fang furiously issued the killing order. He was suspicious and couldn't help but open his eyes. "Huang Hansheng, you were originally a general under Liu Biao, but you had no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao. I don't think you are loyal to Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao has been defeated, you fought hard and were captured. You have done your best to Cao Cao, so why bother doing that for Cao Pi? I am a foolish and loyal boy, come and help me achieve something.It's a great cause. " Yuan Fang, who was sitting high on the throne, was full of pride and confidence even in his words of surrender. Huang Zhong's figure was slightly shaken, and a complex look flashed in his eyes. "Forced to surrender to Cao Cao, he was extremely benevolent and righteous, foolishly loyal to Cao Pi, and established Daye Yuan Fang's words flashed and reverberated in Huang Zhong's mind like thunder, shaking Huang Zhong's heart and disintegrating his so-called self-esteem defense line. Just when he was having trouble making up his mind, Da Zhang. Outside, a person walked into the tent. It was Xu Chu who had recovered from his injuries and came to serve in front of the emperor. Xu Chu knew that Huang Zhong had been defeated by Yuan Fang, so he went to see him first. Yuan Fang turned to Huang Zhong and said loudly: "General Han Sheng, your Majesty is a wise master rarely seen in ancient and modern times. Don't you see that all the heroes in the world have gathered under your Majesty's command?" That kid Cao Pi is so narrow-minded. I almost died trying to save him during the Eighth Formation Battle that day, but he falsely accused me of surrendering to Your Majesty and deliberately failed to exert my full strength. If you still want to be loyal to such a villain, then you It's so stupid. " When Huang Zhong saw Xu Chu, an old official, and heard Xu Chu's words, he realized that what Cao Pi said to Cao Cao when he fled back with a broken arm was actually to frame Xu Chu. What he did was really an act of a villain, in an instant , Huang Zhong's remaining concern for Cao Pi disappeared. At this moment, Huang Zhong couldn't help but be filled with emotion. After the persuasion of his former colleague, Huang Zhong was completely shaken. Only Yuan Fang knew. He needs to add the last fire. The heart of this Jingxiang veteran will be burned by him. "Come here, please bring me the miracle doctor Hua Tuo." "Yuan Fang waved his hand and said. "Hua Tuo, what do you want Hua Tuo to do?" Huang Zhong was surprised. He couldn't guess what kind of medicine Yuan Fang was selling in the gourd, and was at a loss for a moment. After a while, Hua Tuo, whose beard and hair were all white, walked into He went to the imperial tent and bowed his hands in greeting: "Miracle Doctor Hua, that Huang Xu. How is Mr. Huang's illness? " Yuan Fang asked. Huang Xu! Hearing Yuan Fang mention his son's name. Huang Zhong's figure was violently shaken again. Huang Zhong only has one son, Huang Xu. Unfortunately, he is weak and sick. He has tried many methods to seek medical treatment without success. Now Chibi has been breached. He is seriously ill. Huang Xu had no time to escape. Like Huang Zhong, he was captured by Yuan Fang. "Your Majesty, Mr. Huang has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he has never received proper treatment. His body is already riddled with diseases and he is almost terminal, but fortunately there is still a glimmer of hope. I have this confidence that I can revive him with a wonderful hand. "Hua Tuo's words shocked Huang Zhong's body and mind even more. In despair, he suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. Yuan Fang nodded, waved his hands and said: "Then the miracle doctor Lao Hua will try his best to treat Mr. Huang. " Hua Tuo then resigned and left. After seeing Hua Tuo off, Yuan Fang said nothing more. He only looked at Huang Zhong quietly, waiting for him to make a decision. At this moment, in Huang Zhong's heart, any hostility towards Yuan Fang was gone. On the contrary, Huang Zhong was even more grateful. He had never thought that he had secretly opposed Yuan Fang many times and still refused to surrender. Yuan Fang not only did not kill him, but also asked the miracle doctor Hua Tuo to give birth to his only son. Treat the disease. This detached demeanor has deeply shocked Huang Zhong. After pondering for a long time, Huang Zhong took a long breath and seemed to have made a very important decision in his life. Then, he faced. Yuan Fang raised his hands and said solemnly: "Thank you for being so valued by your majesty. I am flattered to be loyal. I am willing to do my best for your majesty's great cause. Please accept your surrender." "Huang Zhong finally surrendered. It was not easy. "I have Han Sheng to help me, so why worry about failure in my great cause, haha¡ª¡ª" Yuan Fang laughed happily with joy. The first general of Jingxiang was included in Yuan Fang's army In order to repay Yuan Fang's generosity and kindness, Huang Zhong, who surrendered to Yuan Fang, expressed his willingness to be a pioneer and attack Xiakou for Yuan Fang. Having lived in Jingzhou for many years, he was very familiar with the terrain of Jingzhou. Yuan Fang was overjoyed when he asked to attack Xiakou. He immediately agreed to Huang Zhong's request. At dawn the next day, Yuan Fang mobilized all his troops. Huang Zhong was the vanguard, leading more than 700 warships, heading straight for Xiakou At dawn, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the morning fog, Yuan Fang, standing on the bow, finally saw the two-story ship. Facing the water, the majestic Xiakou City was right in front of him. Yuan Fang didn't feel sleepy at all at this time, looking at the city looming in the morning mist.Xiakou City, who was still sleeping, could not help but feel a cold smile on his stern face. Taking a deep breath, pointing his halberd in his hand, Yuan Fang shouted sternly: "All the troops, attack the city! Whoever enters Xiakou City first will be rewarded heavily!" Under the order, the flag of the flagship moved like the wind. Hundreds of warships, like unchained dragons, rushed toward Xiakou City, which was just around the corner. In the mist, the impregnable Xiakou City looked like a drunken warrior, wearing a sharp armor but unaware that the enemy was coming. The rooster crowed for the first time, and most of the people and soldiers were still sleeping in their warm quilts, dazed and unwilling to get up. On the top of the city, the soldiers on duty who had been messed up all night by the river breeze at night were already freezing and feeling sleepy. There were three of them in a group, and two of them huddled beside the brazier where the smoke was still lingering, complaining that their companions who had changed the guard had not yet arrived, and dozing off. The water camp built along the bank in the southwest of the city was empty, with only dozens of small warships left, and more than a thousand soldiers who could not be considered elite. Most of the soldiers from the warships here had been transferred to Red Cliff by Sun Ce, and there were only a few left. Just a few thousand soldiers and horses. The Xiakou defenders, who thought they were in the rear, had no idea that Sun Ce had been defeated upstream and Qi's army was approaching like the wind. (To be continued)
