The contradiction between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is no longer a secret in the eyes of the world, and there have long been rumors that Yuan Shao is preparing for the southern expedition. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

Yuan Shu went to Yecheng at this time to defect, and when Yuan Shao's army leveled the Cao family, it could be regarded as avenging him.

"Lord, let's go, the soldiers will meet you ten miles ahead."

Ji Ling next to him saw that Yuan Shu was still sad and sad, so he couldn't help but urge.

Although they still retained 3,000 soldiers, they had already seen the power of the Cao army's cavalry, and the target of 3,000 soldiers was so big, if they came to meet and alarmed the Cao Sun coalition army, they would only be slaughtered at will.

It is better for Yuan Shu to lead people to escape secretly, then the target is smaller, as long as they join the soldiers, they can escape.

Moreover, Yuan Shu had already sent a fast horse to Qingzhou to inform his nephew Yuan Tan to send troops to meet him.

"Let's go!"

Yuan Shu glanced angrily in the direction of Cao Ying again, and turned his horse away......

……

Before dawn on the second day, Sun Ce got up early.

Although he hadn't guessed why Liu Ping was so happy to let him surrender, as long as he could catch Yuan Shu and the jade seal of the country, the main work of quelling Yuan Shu's rebellion would no longer be able to escape.

With such a great merit, the imperial court will definitely not just reward a Ming and Han general.

At least like Cao Ang, he has to be a general of Zhengdong and a marquis of Ting, so that he can be more justified in Jiangdong.

Just as Sun Ce was thinking of a plan, suddenly Zhou Yu hurriedly came in and said, "Bo Fu, the suspension bridge of Shouchun City suddenly came down, and many people poured out. ”

"Could it be that Yuan Shu came out to surrender so early?" Sun Ce couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Not like that!" Zhou Yu said with a suspicious face: "Those who escaped seem to be mostly squires and ordinary people. ”

"Squire people?"

Sun Ce's face changed immediately, and he hurriedly rushed out of the big tent to take a look, only to see that many people had escaped from the city gate in the distance, including men, women, and children.

"It's not good, I'm afraid there will be changes, prepare the horse!" Sun Ce shouted loudly.

In this era, there is a fixed ceremony for surrendering, whether it is the prince of Qin or Liu Xuan, when he surrenders, he is a plain white horse, holding sheep on the wall, and the meat is tied with a face, leading all the civil and military to surrender the book.

But the people who fled in front of him were all the people, and they didn't see Yuan Shu and the civil and military forces at all.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu got on their horses and led a sentry army to rush directly to the city gate, and the gang that escaped were all ordinary people, and when they saw the murderous Sun army, they fell to their knees in fright and begged for mercy.

"Why did you flee?" Sun Ce immediately raised his gun and asked loudly.

"Inside the city...... The city is in chaos, and we can only ...... in order to survive. Get out ......," a young man replied with a shudder.

"Now that Yuan Shu has promised to surrender, how can there be chaos in the city first?" Zhou Yu muttered to himself beside him.

If Yuan Shu led the people to resist, the people were worried that the enemy army would slaughter the city to relieve their hatred when the city was broken, and it would be reasonable to say that the chaos would be in chaos.

But Yuan Shu agreed to surrender, so naturally the people don't have to worry about slaughtering the city, how can there be chaos?

"No matter what, the city gate has been opened, follow me into the city, capture Yuan Shu alive, and recapture the jade seal!" Sun Ce pointed his spear at the city gate and ordered loudly.

As long as the city gate is opened, it doesn't matter whether Yuan Shu surrenders or not, as long as he takes the lead in rushing into the city and catching Yuan Shu, this merit is still his.

However, at this time, Zhou Yu already faintly felt that something was wrong, but there was no other way but to kill Shouchun City with the army.

As soon as he reached the head of the suspension bridge, he saw a group of people with Eguan Bo belt pouring out of the city, who seemed to be all civil officials under Yuan Shu.

The first official held a brocade box in his hand, and said to Sun Ce: "The jade seal of the country is here, we will surrender sincerely, and the general will not be killed." ”

"What about Yuan Shu?" Sun Ce stopped his horse and asked loudly.

"This ...... The pseudo-palace was empty. ”

It turned out that yesterday Yuan Shuda used the lives of a family to exchange the lives of these officials for the survival, and these officials thought that Yuan Shuren was about to die and wanted to do some good deeds, and they were moved one by one.

But this morning, the officials gathered at the gate of the puppet palace, waiting for Yuan Shu to take them out of the city to surrender, but they were surprised to find that there were no guards at the gate of the palace.

The officials then rushed in, only to see that the palace concubines and guards had already left, and Yuan Shu was gone.

Yuan Shu fled by himself, and did not take them with him, and when the army outside the city came into the city, they would definitely be angry with them, and they would definitely die.

Fortunately, someone found the jade seal of the country on the table of Yuan Shu, presumably Yuan Shu was in a hurry and forgot to bring it, so everyone hurriedly came out with the jade seal to surrender.

Their dedication to the jade seal can also be regarded as a meritorious service to the Cao-Sun coalition army, and they may be able to save the lives of the family.

"Bastard Yuan Shu, it's really hateful that a golden cicada came out of his shell under my nose!" Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said, "Take the jade seal!" ”

Although Yuan Shu escaped, recovering the jade seal was also a great credit to the imperial court.

At this time, he no longer had the intention of taking the jade seal for himself, the jade seal was just a stone in his hand, it was better to exchange it for an official position with the imperial court, so that he could justifiably suppress the Jiangdong Shi clan.

A soldier stepped forward, took the brocade box from the official's hand, and handed it to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce took the brocade box and opened it, he couldn't help but be angry, and he was angry, and said angrily: "This is fake!" ”

As he spoke, he slammed the broken stone into the ground and broke it into eight pieces.

The heirloom jade seal has been in his hands for a year or two, and he has always carried it with him, and he has taken it out countless times to play with it.

The true jade seal has been carved by the first emperor for hundreds of years, and after countless generations of emperors have kneaded the plate, the edges and corners of the jade seal have long been rounded.

But the one just now has its shape, and there are still some awkward hands at the edges and corners, how can it be true?

"General Sun, what are you?" Cao Ang and Liu Ping rode over from behind.

Cao Ang saw Sun Ce's angry appearance, and he already knew in his heart that his brother's judgment was right again, and Yuan Shu had already escaped.

No one surrendered at all, so who did Sun Ce suffer?

"General Cao, General Liu, Yuan Shu has fled, and he left a fake jade seal to try to deceive us," Sun Ce said angrily.

"Is that so?" Cao Ang pretended to be surprised, but he was already laughing in his heart, you are competing with Liu Ping's cautious guy, you are simply looking for the wrong person.

"No matter what, Shouchun City has arrived, we will enter the city immediately, as for Yuan Shu, he can't escape far, just send an army to pursue it."

"Yes," Sun Ce suddenly came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Please General Cao General Liu enter the city first to settle the people, I will ask Ming Yuan Shu the direction of escape, and immediately lead the army to chase after him." ”

Hearing this, Cao Ang couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth.

It turned out that Liu Ping had already sent Zhang Liaotai Shici to lead the army yesterday and set up an ambush on the road to Qingzhou.

If Sun Ce chased after him again, in case they bumped into each other, wouldn't it be clear that they already knew that Yuan Shu was going to flee, and they still pretended to let Sun Ce come to surrender?
