"Uh...... Can't you wait to get into town? Cao Ang asked.

"General Cao and General Liu are rebelling on the orders of the Son of Heaven, and now that the puppet capital has been broken, the two generals should enter the city to settle the people," Zhou Yu said with a smile: "As for us, it is just a righteous obedience, and it is better not to take the lord." ”

He pointed to the group of former Yuan Shu ministers: "These are all captured by the two generals, and the generals can be escorted to Xudu and handed over to the imperial court for punishment."

Say goodbye, farewell! ”

"Huh? You don't go into the city......"

Cao Ang also wanted to drag Sun Ce and Zhou Yu into the city and delay them, but Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had already surrendered to him and turned their horses away.

"Gong Jin, do you think something is wrong?"

Sun will return to the camp on Tuesday.

Zhou Yu hurriedly packed his bags, and Sun Ce stood next to him and meditated, unable to figure out his thoughts.

"Bo Fu, do you know now why Liu Ping is so generous and takes the initiative to let me wait for the surrender," Zhou Yu kept sorting out the books in his hand.

He was a Confucian general, and even when he was marching and fighting, he brought a lot of books with him so that he could read them at any time.

"I guess, then Liu Ping probably expected this, so he pretended to be generous," Zhou Yu said.

"You mean, then Liu Ping can predict the prophet? This is too mysterious," Sun Ce shook his head, puzzled.

Zhou Yu stopped what he was doing, looked at Sun Ce intently, and said calmly: "Does Bo Fu think that Liu Ping's surprising generosity and Yuan Shu's unexpected escape are both accidental?" ”

Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, these two things are weird, and now together, only Liu Ping has already foreseen everything, and this explanation can make sense.

"This guy is so terrifying, so accurate?" Sun Ce couldn't help but gasp and shudder.

Zhou Yu continued to bow his head and clean up as he said: "It is no accident that he can make countless great contributions to the Cao family in such a short period of time, it is really beyond the ability of ordinary people, if you are an enemy of him in the future, you must be more careful." ”

"But Gong Jin, you gave those old Yuan Shu ministers to Cao Ang, we have no one to interrogate, I don't know where Yuan Shu went, where to catch up?" Sun Ce said dejectedly.

"The captives? It's just a bunch of poor worms in the dark," Zhou Yu scoffed: "Yuan Shu's escape must be hidden from them, otherwise they wouldn't have reacted this morning, and it would be useless to interrogate them." ”

"So we have nowhere to go?"

Sun Ce was suddenly deflated, Yuan Shu didn't even bring Wenchen, and he was bound to go secretly.

Shouchun is in the land of four wars, the roads are criss-crossed, extending in all directions, where can they go to chase?

It seems that this trip is a loss of troops and a waste of work.

"As for where Yuan Shu goes, don't ask, there is only one place in the world for Yuan Shu to stay, and that is Yecheng," Zhou Yu muttered: "It's just that from Shouchun to Yecheng, you need to pass through Yuzhou, and Cao Cao's heavy troops are on the left, so Yuan Shu will not dare to borrow from here."

If I were Yuan Shu, I would have passed through Qingzhou and transferred to Yecheng.

Therefore, it must be right for us to chase in the direction of Qingzhou. ”

"Wonderful!" Sun Ce's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he patted Zhou Yu's shoulder and praised: "Gong Jin, you can think of this, I think you are far better than that Liu Ping." ”

Zhou Yu's face was not a little happy, but a little heavy: "If it is really as I guessed, then Liu Ping had already predicted that Yuan Shu would escape, how could he not take precautions?" I'm afraid that I have already sent troops to chase after it, or sent troops to intercept it. ”

Sun Ce's expression was shocked, and he said categorically: "That's right, without further ado, we must catch up with him this time." ”

……

Cao Ang watched Sun Ce and Zhou Yu leave in a hurry, and couldn't help but ask Liu Ping worriedly: "Did the foolish brother just say the wrong thing?" ”

"Even if the eldest brother doesn't say that, with Zhou Gongjin's wisdom, he can think of it," Liu Ping pointed to the open city gate and said: "The pseudo-capital Shouchun is in front of you, enter the city." ”

"Do you have a good idea?" Cao Ang walked slowly into the city.

Even if Shouchun is won, if Yuan Shu is not caught and the jade seal is snatched back, this credit is still not complete.

"Big brother, don't worry, Yuan Shu is also a hero in the world, and he won't be caught by Sun Ce so easily," Liu Ping said lightly.

He originally sent Zhang Liaotai Shici to lead a thousand soldiers to intercept the attack, but Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan's two thousand soldiers did not move, and now they entered the city with them.

After entering Shouchun, he quickly sent troops to Zhang Bang to calm the people and ensure that he did not commit any crimes against the people.

In this era, the city changed hands, and it was commonplace for the people, Cao Jun was the army of the imperial court, since he had made a promise not to disturb the people, but after half a day's work, the people of Shouchun City settled down.

There were even many gentry who took the initiative to bring the rice meat labor army, admiring the return of the king's division and rescuing them from the upside down.

Liu Ping and Cao Ang entered Yuan Shu's puppet palace.

"The land of Lianghuai is hungry, and Yuan Shu is still so poor and extravagant, even if I can't wait to attack, he will kill himself sooner or later."

Cao Ang looked at the pseudo-palace and couldn't help but sigh.

Now there is a great drought in the land of Lianghuai, the people are living in hardship, starving all over the wilderness, and even the tragedy of cannibalism, but Yuan Shu's pseudo-palace is actually magnificent, and it is extremely extravagant.

"Yuan Shu and others, they can't see Li Min hanging upside down, they regard human life as a mustard, they only care about greedy enjoyment, and they are all to blame for today, this person can only be regarded as a hero, but not a hero," Liu Ping sighed.

"What does a virtuous brother think, what is a hero?"

"Heroes must take it as their duty to save the lives of the people."

"So Brother Xian is a hero?"

"I'm not!" Liu Ping said calmly.

Liu Ping is just a small person, only because of fate to get to today, what he did was not to save the world, but in troubled times, if you don't kill people, people will kill themselves.

In the final analysis, his original intention was just to protect himself.

Heroes are not something that ordinary people can do.

After this hard battle, the battle to pacify Yuan Shu was close to the end except that Yuan Shu had not yet been captured and the jade seal had not been found.

Liu Ping ordered someone to arrest the big Sinong appointed by Yuan Shu for interrogation, and the money in the entire Shouchun Palace had already been emptied by Yuan Shu when he left, and Yuan Shu didn't have much food in stock, and he took most of it away when he left, and now there is not much left.

However, their biggest gain was to include the land of Lianghuai into the territory of the Cao family, and obtained land and countless people.

At this time, the Cao family had completely occupied Yuzhou, and blocked Xuzhou in the east, and sooner or later it would be in the bag.

……

Yuan Shu fled in a hurry overnight, and soon joined up with the 3,000 soldiers who responded.

Although he ran in a hurry, he waited until dawn, but he only traveled fifty miles, and the mountain road was steep and rugged.

"Lord, it's not okay to go on like this," Yang Hong looked up at the sky and said: "At this time, the Cao Sun coalition army has probably already known that we are leaving, and the Cao clan is all cavalry, if we lead the army to chase, how can we escape?" ”

Yuan Shu raised his eyes and looked around, but also felt helpless, his cavalry had been killed outside Shouchun City, there were very few horses in the team on this trip, and the three thousand soldiers were infantry, so naturally they couldn't go fast.

"Do you have a plan?"

Yang Hong pointed to the mountains on both sides and said: "The terrain here is very dangerous, the lord can leave ambush soldiers on the mountains on both sides, carry the boulder up the mountain, if the Cao army cavalry chases, then roll the boulder down, and the Cao army pursuers can be stoned to death in this deep valley." ”
