Chapter 237: Hand over the jade seal

Qiao Rui was still proud, even if his lord Yuan Shu had been defeated at this time, but after leading his troops to Yuan Shao, these generals still had a place to use their skills.

In this battle, he commanded 2,000 soldiers and repelled tens of thousands of pursuers, which could accumulate a lot of fame for him, and he would also have mixed capital in Yuan Shao's army in the future.

But as soon as he turned his head, he suddenly found Sun Ce's distorted face not far away and countless soldiers behind him, and he couldn't help but be startled.

"Enemy attack, prepare for battle!" Qiao Rui hurriedly shouted.

Only Sun Ce selected from the soldiers who escaped from the valley, and only 3,000 were not seriously injured, so the soldiers divided into two routes, with him and Cheng Pu each leading one way, to attack the hills on both sides respectively.

Soon Sun Ce led his army to touch the vicinity of the bridge.

In mountain battles, you can't fight on horseback, you can only fight on foot, and the two armies quickly engage on the top of the mountain.

Although Sun's army was led by Sun Ce, a world-class general, and had Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhou Tai and others under his command, and the number was superior, after all, the soldiers had just escaped death, and most of them were slightly injured and demoralized.

In the melee under the horse, Sun Ce was brave and invincible, but he wanted to take the opponent's main general directly, but he couldn't find where Qiao Rui was for a while, so he could only use the Yuan army's soldiers to vent his anger, and the big iron spear waved, and the soldiers flew as soon as they collided, and no one could get close to him.

In the midst of the chaos, Qiao Rui soon realized that something was wrong.

Even though his soldiers could outwit the enemy, he did not dare to engage any of the opposing generals, so he prepared to retreat secretly.

As soon as he turned around two steps, he met a white-bearded veteran on the opposite side, who was Sun Ce's general Huang Gai.

"The thief will leave," Huang Gaihua's white beard flew around, rubbing his body and killing him.

Is Qiao Rui Huang Gai's opponent? However, after more than ten rounds, he was pierced by Huang Gai with a shot, and he died thoroughly.

As soon as Qiao Rui died, the battle was soon over, and the remaining soldiers surrendered on their knees.

Although Sun's army won, but another four or five hundred people were killed and wounded, and with hundreds of wounded soldiers, Sun Ce was angry and ordered all the surrendered soldiers to be killed to vent his anger.

On the opposite side, Cheng Pu led his army to attack another hill, and the casualties were about the same as those led by Sun Ce.

After the two armies converged, Sun's army was full of wounded soldiers, and there were only about 2,000 soldiers left who still had the strength to fight.

Zhou Yu and other generals bitterly advised Sun Ce that at this time, he should quickly withdraw to Jiangdong to recuperate and not fight again.

But having already killed this, Sun Ce had already been red-eyed, and he would not give up if he did not catch Yuan Shu and recapture the jade seal, so he did not listen to the persuasion of Zhou Yu and others, and ordered to continue the pursuit......

……

Yuan Shu, who was on the way to escape, realized that Yang Hong's strategy was very clever, and left the ambush soldiers to block Cao Sun's pursuers with boulders, which must be foolproof, although this is the case, his march did not dare to delay at all.

After all, after escaping from Shouchun, he entered Yanzhou, which was the territory of the Cao family.

If Cao Ren led an army to block the attack, he would only have a thousand soldiers under his command to protect him, and then he would only be able to capture him.

Fortunately, he did not dare to cross the hinterland of Yanzhou, but walked along the border road.

Their whereabouts are so secretive that they will not be detected by Cao Ren, who is far away in Yanzhou.

"Quick, quick, Xiansi must have sent troops from Qingzhou to respond, as long as we meet with it, everything will be fine," Yuan Shu rode on his horse and shouted cheers.

In the past, he regarded Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan's father and son as enemies, but now he can't wait to see the eldest nephew quickly.

marching so quickly just hurt those palace concubines.

Those are all young young girls, who are usually pampered in Yuan's postoperative palace, but now let them run for their lives with two jade legs, how can they stand it?

There were three or five people who couldn't run, so they lay down on the side of the road, panting heavily, waiting to be captured alive than to die of exhaustion.

But Yuan Shu had already been ruthless, and immediately ordered all the women to be executed.

Yuan Shu would rather kill them than let them fall into the hands of Cao Jun and be humiliated.

Under his bloody killing, the remaining women could only grit their teeth and keep up, not daring to fall behind.

"Lord, isn't that Cao Jun in front?"

After walking forward for a while, turning a mountain beam, Yang Hong suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed.

Yuan Shu fixed his eyes and couldn't help shaking his horse, and he complained bitterly in his heart, there was indeed a sentry cavalry in front of him that blocked the way, and he was afraid that there were no less than a thousand people, and all of them were cavalry.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the group to slowly approach, and stop when there was only one arrow left.

"Fu Yi, can you be sure to break through the Cao army's obstruction?" Yuan Shu asked Ji Ling beside him tentatively.

"No way!"

Ji Ling had known Zhang Liaotai, Shi Ci, and Xu Huang before, and asked him to lead a group of foot soldiers to attack the cavalry led by these three people, but he didn't even have half of the hope, so it was better to admit it honestly.

"Lord, the leader on the opposite side is Zhang Wenyuan, Taishi Ziyi, and Xu Gongming, these three generals are all 10,000 enemies, and the last general may not be an opponent."

Zhang Liao is a famous general second only to Lu Bu in Bingzhou, Tai Shi Ci rode alone to save Beihai, and killed in and out of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army as if entering no one's land, Xu Huang is a first-class general of the Baibo Army, and the fame of these three Yuan Shu has also been heard.

Now that he has been stopped by these three generals, even if Yuan Tan arrives with the soldiers, he has no chance of winning.

"Send someone over to negotiate with the other side, I am willing to give all my savings and these hundreds of women to see if he can let me live?"

At this time, Yuan Shu could only give up his wealth to save his life, and as for those women, he couldn't take care of them, as long as he could leave him with an old life.

An envoy was sent over to negotiate, and soon the envoy came back and bowed down and said, "Let the lord send the jade seal of the country to the other side." ”

"This ......"

Yuan Shu hesitated, he took refuge in Yuan Shao this time, the only thing that could interest Yuan Shao was the heirloom jade seal, if it was handed over to Cao Jun, what value would he have to Yuan Shao?

"Lord, people are under the low eaves, so they have to bow their heads," Yang Hong saw that Yuan Shu was still thinking about it, and hurriedly persuaded: "Even if the lord doesn't give it, can't they still rob it?"

The lord's life is at stake. ”

"Hey!" Yuan Shuchang sighed, in the current situation, he was a fish and a knife, and he could no longer tolerate bargaining.

He took a brocade box wrapped in red cloth from the saddle, handed it to the messenger, and said, "Send the jade seal." ”

He has always carried this jade seal with him, although he is reluctant, but in order to save his life, he can't help but give it.

But since the other party asked for it, and he gave it happily, the other party should be able to spare his life.

And the other party only asked for the jade seal, and he even fantasized that he could let him keep the money and the woman.

In this way, when he arrived in Yecheng, even if Yuan Shao didn't use him, he could give him a piece of land, so that he could be a rich man with money and women, and he could live comfortably.

At this time, he suddenly saw the cavalry of the Cao army shouting and rushing over.

Yuan Shu was suddenly confused, and said loudly and angrily: "This Cao Jun is so untrustworthy?

Against! Against! ”

It turned out that the reason why Zhang Liao pretended to agree was that he was afraid that Yuan Shu would hold the jade seal and the jade would be burned.

Now that the jade seal is in hand, what faith can be said about such a rebellion as Yuan Shu?

While speaking, the cavalry of the Cao army, under the leadership of Zhang Liaotai Shi Ci and Xu Huang, had already killed Yuan Jun.

Yuan Jun hurriedly met the ......
