Chapter nine hundred and eighty sixth tonic
"Are you sure Yuan Shu is dead?"
Sun Ce frowned and asked, looking at Ling Cao who was coming back with Zhang Xun's head in his hand.
"I asked a lot of surrendered troops and said that I saw Yuan Shu's body, so Zhang Xun fought to the death and sacrificed his life to the Lord!
It is also because of this that Yuan Yao was able to escape.”
"This Zhang Xun is a loyal and righteous person. Just let someone sew the head and the body together and then bury it with a grand ceremony."
Sun Ce didn't care about Yuan Yao and looked back at Huang Yi who was trembling.
Huang Yi is Yuan Shu's eldest son-in-law. Last night, he drank a lot of wine with Sun Ce, his future brother-in-law, and smiled and said that there would be something to take care of each other in the future.
Because he lived outside, Yuan Yao naturally didn't take him with him when he ran away.
"Mr. Huang Jun, I am ordered by the imperial court to attack Yuan Shu. Now that Yuan Shu is dead, are you willing to surrender?"
When Yuan Shu was looking for a son-in-law, he naturally would not find any small families. Huang Yi was a child of the Huang family in Jiangxia and the nephew of Huang Wan. When Yuan Shu attacked Jingzhou, the Huang family in Jiangxia also joined Liu Biao and Yuan Shu so that no matter what happened, they could save the family.
But don’t think that the Zhuge family is the only one who bets separately. In the chaotic times, there are more people playing like this, but many families are not famous, so they will not be revealed in the future.
Huang Yi was actually quite talented, otherwise he would not have been chosen as his eldest son-in-law by the arrogant Yuan Shu. At this time, he was the magistrate of Jiujiang County and was responsible for handling some government affairs on weekdays.
"I'm willing to surrender..."
Although he was a son-in-law, Huang Yi did not feel that he had to be buried with Yuan Shu.
"Okay, I will submit to the court and declare that you are the governor of Jiujiang County. You want to help me appease other officials in Jiujiang and surrender to various counties. What is possible?"
Hearing that although his father-in-law died, he was promoted, Huang Yi's legs stopped trembling and his waist became hard.
"Don't worry, General, I will be in a desperate situation!"
"Bo Fu, did Yuan Shu and his son arrest them?"
At this time, Zhou Yu walked in and nodded to Huang Yi.
It was Zhou Yu's opinion that Sun Ce bought Huang Yi's horse bone. I, Sun Ce, can even use Huang Yi's son-in-law, let alone the rest of you? You can do it under my hands with confidence!
Sun Ce waved Huang Yi to retreat, and then shrugged, "Yuan Shu should be dead, but Yuan Yao ran away. Zhang Xun fought to the death and stopped the rear. After Ling Cao killed Zhang Xun, Yuan Yao was gone."
"What? Yuan Yao ran away?"
When Zhou Yu heard this, he was anxious and stamped his feet and said, "Send cavalry to chase him! If Yuan Yao arrives at Ji Ling, we will be in trouble."
"What are you afraid of? Yuan Shu is dead. Can he still make a fuss, a child who is still not dry?"
Zhou Yu rolled his eyes directly, as if we two brothers were younger than Yuan Yao, and they were still stinky, what are we?
"Cao Cao and Liu Bei are still in Huai River. What if Yuan Yao asked them to send troops to avenge Yuan Shu at the cost of serving them?"
Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ordered the cavalry to pursue him.
In fact, Sun Ce did not send cavalry at the beginning, and another important reason was that for Sun Ce, the cavalry was too expensive. There were very few war horses in Yangzhou, so it was only because of the merchant ships from Hebei that they replenished some blood.
"Gongjin, what should we do now? Yuan Yao was taken away by Yuan's death soldiers, and I'm afraid he can't catch up."
Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "I heard that a talented man from Lumen Academy in Jingzhou was born, named Xu Shu. He was first appointed as Yanzhou by Cao Cao, and then by Liu Bei, and recently he was appointed as Jingzhou by Liu Biao. He had the shadow of Su Qin, who had once embraced the six kingdoms.
Su Qin was able to be the prime minister of the six kingdoms because of the powerful Qin. Now the alliance between Xu, Yan and Jing is because of Hebei Ma Ziyu.
Now Ma Ziyu is fighting against Gongsun Du in Liaodong, but Gongsun Du is not a corner of it. It will be destroyed at most half a year. By then, Ma Ziyu will definitely go south.
As long as we agree to join the alliance on behalf of Yangzhou, Cao and Liu will definitely be moved.
In this way, Bo Fu, if I ask me to serve as an envoy to Xu Yan, I will be able to convince both sides to stop the army!”
"Okay! I'll let Dong Xi go with you. If Cao Liu attacks, there must be someone around you who is Fan Kuai, right? Then where are you going first?"
"Dangtu!"
“Why?”
"Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were extremely good friends when they were young. Yuan Yao must have gone to Cao Cao. Only by convincing Liu Bei first can we convince Cao Cao who has Yuan Yao!"
"Gongjin, you must be careful!"
"Don't worry, I am Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin!"
As the sun rose, the twenty-year-old Zhou Yu was wearing golden sunshine and headed towards Dangtu where Liu Bei and Ji Ling were fighting fiercely.
——Dangtutushan
The legend of Tushan was split by Dayu in ancient times when he was flood control. Although the legend does not know the true or false, the terrain of this place can be seen from the legend.
Tushan is located between the Wo River and the Huai River. If it occupies this place, it will jamm these two waterways that are crucial to the Huai River Basin, and therefore become a must-fight place for military strategists.
Ji Ling and more than 20,000 troops have fought with the Xuzhou army dozens of times here, but relying on the terrain here and the continuous supply of Shouchun, they have been able to barely maintain the situation of the battle.
It was not until the family soldiers who escaped from Shouchun brought news that Sun Ce rebelled and Yuan Shu was killed.
"My Duke Ming!!! My Duke Ming!!!"
Ji Ling was wearing a mourning robes and cried in the military tent almost fainted.
Ji Ling has followed Yuan Shu since he was a teenager. Over the years, the two have been both masters and friends. Although Yuan Shu is not good to outsiders, he is still very good at these close friends.
"General, Ming Gong is dead, Shouchun has also lost it. We are now without a master. What should we do?" Lejue had no intention of crying. As long as Shouchun did not deliver food, the soldiers here would have to mutiny in minutes.
"Avenge! I want to avenge Ming Gong!!"
Ji Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Go, when you go to Liu Bei, you will say that I, Ji Ling, is willing to surrender to him, but I have a condition, that is, I must kill Sun Ce to avenge my Lord!"
Surrender to Liu Bei?
This is OK!
Le went to make arrangements immediately, and he had been beaten by Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others long ago.
After Liu Bei learned that Shouchun had an accident, he was also surprised. He was happy again when he learned that Ji Ling was willing to surrender. However, when he heard Ji Ling's request to kill Sun Ce, Liu Bei hesitated again.
Liu Bei was also extremely disgusted with Sun Ce's behavior of betraying the Lord. If you really raise an army in Wujun, you are considered a man. What is this now?
But Yuan Shu was a rebel recognized by the court. How could Liu Bei avenge the rebels?
"General Le, I can only promise that as long as Sun Ce betrays the emperor, I, Liu Bei, will be punished. What?"
Le went back and told Ji Ling about Liu Bei's reply. Ji Ling was still a little unwilling, so Le advised, "General, Sun Ce occupied Shouchun. If he wanted to develop, he would be dirty with Xuzhou in the future. Why bother to hurry up?"
Ji Ling thought about it, but the main reason was that he would not agree now. He would go hungry in a few days, so he had to agree.
