Chapter 712 Sun Ce's Choice
The generals in Jiangdong were ordered, so they ordered their soldiers to execute it. I saw a team of Jiangdong, carrying a long gun with cold light, forcing the Jiangxia prisoners to jump into the pit. If they did not follow or slow, the Jiangdong soldiers immediately carried the gun and stabbed without hesitation.
For a moment, the tragic begging for mercy, the desperate crying, and the angry curses were endless. Sun Ce had been looking cold until he looked at the mud pits buried again. His heart was full of joy, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised a smile, as if he was enjoying the cruel scene in front of him.
When all the Jiangxia prisoners were killed, it was the dawn of the next day. At this time, Zhou Yu and Lv Meng sent people to report that Huang Zhong and Gan Ning escaped. After listening to this, Sun Ce was furious and ordered the two soldiers to repay, and they were sure to catch Huang Zhong and Gan Ning. At the same time, a reward order was issued, such as those who won the first level of Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, who were rewarded with thousands of households. If the person is born, he will be awarded the title of Wanhuhou. The generals in Jiangdong got the order, and each of them had to fight for their achievements and chased after them.
Huang Zhong was chased and killed all the way by Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and was ambushed, but he didn't care about the lack of people and injuries on his body. He broke through all the way and looked forward to Jiangxia. When Zhou Yu heard this, Huang Zhong broke through the ambush he set, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
Later, Zhou Yu personally led the army to chase and kill him non-stop for days. He chased him to Jiujiang. Hearing the report of the Jiangdong soldiers intercepted in front of him, Huang Zhong was rescued by a Jingzhou soldier and crossed the river. Zhou Yu was shocked and was afraid that Liu Biao would suddenly attack Jiangdong. He was busy informing Sun Ce and temporarily guarding Jiujiang. At the same time, he was ordered to go to Jingzhou to inquire.
However, it is said that Huang Zhong was chased and killed by Jiangdong soldiers and died in the territory of Jiangdong. When he rushed to Jiujiang, he was exhausted, and his injuries could not be ignored. Just when Huang Zhong thought he was going to hate Jiujiang, suddenly a team of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers and horses protruded all the way, killing and chasing soldiers in Jiangdong.
Huang Zhong fixed his eyes and saw that the general who came to save him was like a heavy date, his eyes were like a bright star, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his arms were huge, Kong Wu was powerful, and he was very heroic. Huang Zhong suppressed fatigue and pain, bowed his hand and asked.
"The righteous man, the grace of saving my life. Huang Hansheng should keep in mind that if there is any order in the future, he will die! I don't know if the righteous can tell him his name!?"
"General Huang, don't be polite. You are the guarantee of Jiangxia, and I have always admired you. Someone is Wei Wenchang of Yiyang. This time, he was ordered by Liu Jingzhou to secretly cross the Yangtze River and enter the east of the river to save General Huang!"
This will be Wei Yan, the subordinate general of Liu Biao. Huang Zhong saw that Wei Yan was very Shenjun. At present, he couldn't help but value Wei Yan more. After thanking him for saving his life, Wei Yan was afraid that there would be another Jiangdong chase, so he urged Huang Zhong to leave with him. The two led the army to rush to the bank of the river, breaking through the barrier all the way, killing hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers and several Jiangdong generals. They were unstoppable and rushed to the river bank like broken bamboo.
When Huang Zhonggang stepped on the ship, his physical strength was exhausted and he fainted. Wei Yan hurriedly rescued him and made the soldiers peel off Huang Zhong's armor. Seeing Huang Zhong's body, there were nearly fifty or sixty blood mouths, and all of them were shocked. Wei Yan hurriedly ordered the soldiers to sail away and cross the river. Huang Zhong also escaped from the disaster.
On the other hand, Zhou Yu heard that he went to Jingzhou in Jiujiang. Knowing that while Sun Ce annihilated Huang Zu, Liu Biao listened to the plan of his military division Jingzhou famous scholar Kui Liang and suddenly sent troops to occupy Jiangxia. And the team that sneaked into Jiangdong, Zhou Yu was sure to be sent by Liu Biao.
A few days later, Sun Ce led the army to come. He heard that Huang Zhong, his father's enemy, was rescued by Liu Biao. He was furious and wanted to march towards Jiangxia. Zhou Yu shook his head and said.
"Lord, don't be impatient. Listen to Yu's words. Liu Jingsheng's profound city government. He knew that Huang Chengjie was always wild and wanted to eradicate it, but he also had the power of the Huang family. This time, I actually used our hands to kill people with a knife! At present, he ordered his general Han Xuan to lead 50,000 Jingzhou soldiers to occupy Jiangxia. At the same time, it also made Han Xuan prepare all kinds of equipment to defend the city and prepare to resist our Jiangdong army.
At present, our Jiangdong army has been fighting fiercely, and the soldiers are exhausted and can no longer enter the army easily. Otherwise, Liu Jingsheng will be tricked. Liu Jingsheng is different from Huang Chengjie. He has been in command of Jingzhou for a long time and has a deep foundation. If you want to go to war with him, you must be far-sighted and cultivate your energy before you can act!"
"How dare Liu Jingsheng use my Jiangdong to kill people with a knife!! Wow!! I'm so angry!! I'm so angry!!!"
When Sun Ce heard this, he burst into anger and roared loudly. Zhou Yu was calm, his eyes were shining, his brain was spinning, and he was thinking quickly.
After a while, after Sun Ce was discouraged, Zhou Yu slowly opened his mouth to persuade him.
"At present, the soldiers are tired, and the first lord has just died. The lord went back to Wu Hui first to appease people's hearts and let the soldiers in the army rest for half a year. I expect that in half a year, the world will change greatly. For this reason, the master must first make sufficient preparations to meet this great change!"
"How can Gong Jin say this?"
Zhou Yu's face became extremely solemn. Sun Ce looked at it and was immediately shocked. Zhou Yuzhi is so close to demons that he expects everything in the world. He is so solemn that it is the first time for Sun Ce to see him.
"The current situation will be determined. The era of princes competing for the Central Plains has passed. Wen Han, the general of Qiqi, killed Han Sui first in Yongzhou, defeated Ma Teng, and captured the land of Yongzhou. In recent years, he led his troops to defeat Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, and attacked Liangzhou. In addition to the land of Bingzhou and Hedong, Wenhan has become the hegemon of the northwest.
Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, also defeated Yuan Shao in Hebei and seized the three prefectures of Yuan's Ji, You and Qing. His jurisdiction covered nearly half of the country and became the most powerful princes in the world.
Cao Cao and Wen Han have gathered to seize the foundation of the world. At present, the princes who still exist in the world are Liu Jiyu in Yizhou, Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, Zhang Gongqi in Hanzhong, and the lord of Jiangdong, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou. The former three, in the face of Cao Cao and Wen Han, have the power to defend, and sooner or later they will be destroyed in their hands. In this way, the only one in the world can compete with these two people.
The lord wants to compete with Cao and Wen for the world, so he must not take it lightly. Both of them are the heroes of a hundred generations. In recent years, both Cao and Wen have won great victories in Hebei and Xiliang, accumulating a great trend. At this time, both soldiers and horses under their jurisdiction were in recuperation. After half a year, Cao and Wen were bound to send troops again to expand their forces. According to Yu's expectation, Cao Cao is likely to go south to take Jingzhou. As for Wen Han, he will send troops to take Hanzhong.
At present, the Lord's most important thing to beware of is Cao Cao. If Cao Cao attacks Jingzhou, he may take advantage of the situation to take Jiangdong. Cao Cao defeated the Yuan family and recruited nearly hundreds of thousands of soldiers. In addition, he had more than 300,000 soldiers and horses. I heard that Cao Cao recruited new soldiers in the states under his jurisdiction. Cao Cao is so powerful that Liu Jingsheng can't resist. If Cao Cao attacks, Jingzhou will be difficult to defend for more than a year. When Cao Cao captures Jingzhou and reaches the territory of Jiangdong, the Lord is likely to face nearly one million Cao's army!"
"Millions of Cao soldiers!?"
Even if it was Sun Ce, who was known as the little bully, he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this number, and there was a little fear in his eyes.
"Yes. If the lord only hopes to become the king of one side, he can turn to Cao Cao. Cao Cao determined the overall situation, set up his momentum to fight against the extraordinary, and was determined to make the lord king. But if the Lord's ambition is in the world, he should be ready to resist Cao Cao's million army in the future!"
Zhou Yu looked calm and said cautiously. Sun Ce's face changed repeatedly, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked.
"At that time, we can't imitate the previous plan to subvert the Yuan Highway. First, we will defraud Cao Cao and secretly join hands with Wen Iffan. When Cao Cao and Wen Iffan start a war, we will take advantage of the situation to attack Jingzhou and take Luoyang, his hinterland!"
As soon as Zhou Yu heard this, he shook his head without hesitation.
"Cao Cao is the hero of the world. How can Yuan Highway and other goods be compared with others? How can the master's plan be hidden from Cao Cao? At that time, once the Lord's referendum is true to Cao Cao Cao, Cao will definitely try his best to seize the power from the master's hands and pull out the master's claws to keep him in order to be foolproof, so as to prepare for him and the extraordinary war. If Cao Cao found that the lord's heart was fraudulently surrendered, he would serge a lot of troops to fight against the lord. At that time, we lost the opportunity, and the situation was even more unfavorable to us!!!"
"In this way, even if I really surrender to Cao Cao, I'm just a prince without power!"
Sun Ce exhaled a big breath, and his eyes were full of unwillingness. His Sun family had a hard time accumulating the foundation of the world now. They asked Sun Ce to give up, but Sun Ce was very reluctant.
"If not. What the Lord will face in the future is millions of Cao Jun! If you can win, the lord can keep the foundation and watch the situation in order to seek the world. If you are defeated, the lord and even our literary and military will be destroyed, and there will be no place to die! I don't know whether the lord wants to surrender or not!"
Zhou Yuhao's eyes burst into brilliant brilliance. Sun Ce stared at the tiger's eyes and shouted word by word.
Ning! Death! No! Down!"
"Good! This is my brother-in-law of Zhou Gongjin! I would like to fight to the death of the lord to the end!"
Zhou Yu arched his hand and bowed to Sun Ce. Sun Ce quickly held it, and there was no fear in his eyes. At this time, it was full of hot fighting spirit.
"There is Gong Jin who complement each other. I am like a tiger with wings. Even in the face of millions of Cao Cao, I am not afraid!"
"So, please listen to me. Let go of the hatred of the forefather for the time being, stop the army, and let the soldiers of Jiangdong refresh their energy and prepare for the battle with Cao Cao in the future!"
"What Gong Jin said is very true. At present, the overall situation is really the most important. After defeating Cao Cao, with our Jiangdong power, it is easy to get rid of a small Huang Hansheng!"
Sun Ce nod his head, and then, according to Zhou Yu's words, he attacked Jingzhou and ordered all the troops to withdraw from Jiujiang and rush to Wu Hui. After Sun Ce returned to Wu Hui, he let the troops rest and recuperate. At the same time, he recruited talents, treated others, and stabilized Jiangdong's civil and military heart. At the same time, he vigorously promoted young generals such as Lv Meng, Ling Tong, Chen Wu and Pan Zhang, so that these young generals can recruit soldiers and horses and train the new army in various places.
Sun Ce worked hard, made his own arrangements, and carefully prepared for the battle with Cao Cao's million-strong army in the near future, as expected by Zhou Yu.
However, he said that in Jingzhou not long ago, Liu Biao knew that Huang Zu was ambitious and wanted to get rid of it for a long time. Later, when he saw Huang Zu attacking Jiangdong, he found his military division Kuai Liang to discuss.
Kwaa Liang, whose name is Zirou, is a native of Zhonglu, Nanjun. He is the brother of Kwa Yue. He is resourceful. The two brothers assisted Liu Biao to help him achieve his career. Kwa-Liang is proficient in astronomy and talented. He and his brother Kwa Yue are highly valued by Liu Biao. Kui Liang was praised by Liu Biao as his 'Yong Ji's theory'.
Kua Liang saw Zhou Yu's plan and said that Huang Zu would definitely die if he attacked Jiangdong this time. Liu Watch thought that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, and he wanted to send troops to save him. However, Ou Liang told him that he took this opportunity to let Sun Ce get rid of Huang Zu's cancer. Then he taught Liu Biao to secretly recruit soldiers and horses to get back Jiang Xia. Liubiao obeyed and immediately sent General Han Xuan to lead the army to Jiangxia. Among them, Kuai Liang and Adgarh, Huang Hansheng, a general under the command of Huang Zu, was extraordinary in martial arts, and was praised by the people of Jiangxia as the guarantee of Jiangxia. Therefore, Liu Biao asked him to send an elite soldier to sneak into Jiangdong to save Huang Zhong. Liu Biao also obeyed and sent Wei Yan to lead a fine soldier to cross the Yangtze River secretly. In the end, Wei Yan also completed his mission and rescued Huang Zhong.
With the death of Huang Zu, the 'Huang family' of the rich family in Jingzhou lost power. Liu's power has been stabilized, and it is a secret joy in his heart. At this time, Liu Bei was fighting against the surrendered generals Zhang Wu and Chen Sun in Xiangyang. Knowing the war situation, Liu Biao immediately sent someone to inquire.
By the way, Liu Bei led the generals and led 30,000 troops to Xiangyang. Zhang Wu and Chen Sun learned that they led troops to welcome him. Liu Bei, Pan, Zhang, Taishi and Hua will come out under the banner of the door. Liu Bei saw the horse that Zhang Wu rode. It was extremely majestic, bright and humane. He couldn't help sighing.
"This must be a difficult swift horse! Unfortunately, he was ridden by such mediocrity as Zhang Wu and buried his talent.
Before he finished his words, Zhang Fei laughed and shouted in his thunderous voice.
"Brother, why do you have to sigh? If you like it, I'll take it for you!"
After Zhang Fei finished his words, he came out with eight snake spears, rushed to the other side, roared loudly, and called Zhang Wu to fight.
"Zhang Wu, thief, come out and fight quickly!!"
Zhang Fei's voice was loud, and the words of insulting Zhang Wu spread all over the other army.
