Chapter 618: Yuan Shu's last backbone

Yuan Shu was indeed cautious, and sent 5,000 people to cross the river from Zongyang, but he crossed the river from the direction of Peng Lize. If it weren't for covering the fifty miles along the Yangtze River, Lu Bu might not have found it.

Before Yuan Shu was about to cross the river, Lu Bu had already led people from Runan to the south quickly, and finally came to Zhishu County, Lujiang County, before the complete winter.

For the previous three days, he used the 'Wind Dragon Insight' scroll to observe the place where Yuan Shu was hiding. It is estimated that no one would have thought that he was actually hiding in Peng Lize Water Village.

It is connected to Yuzhang County, as long as there are enough ships, then you can immediately enter the scope of Yuzhang County, and you can attack Chaisang and Pengze counties as soon as possible. With these two counties as the base area, you can almost hit Nanchang in one go.

In this way, Yuan Shu can use Yuzhang County as a base and then make a plot. To the west, you can collect the four counties of Jingnan, and to the east, you can point to Danyang.

In fact, Lu Bu also admired Yuan Shu's openness, and Runan, Lujiang and Jiujiang said that they didn't want it. Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that when he is fighting alone in the Central Plains and is almost surrounded by the Han Dynasty, it is definitely a dead end not to escape.

The problem is that knowing is knowing, and if you can do it, then this enlightenment is worthy of admiration.

It's just that I can't stop arresting you because of admiration. No way, from the moment Yuan Shu became the emperor, he basically had a situation of endless death with the Han Dynasty. If this phenomenon of being called an emperor is not treated harshly, then any mountain village man can be called an emperor in the future.

It is because since ancient times, the rebellion has been a crime that cannot be forgiven, and the Danshu iron coupon is useless.

No, Zhu Yuanzhang likes to play like that, whoever he wants to kill, first give a Danshu iron coupon, and then suddenly one day this person rebelled, and then he was punished by the nine clans. So some people jokingly said that this Danshu iron coupon, the gold medal for avoiding death, is the amulet of the early Ming Dynasty.

"General, you can catch up with the chase, but others are on the water village. If they're already on board, how can we chase them? Seeing that Peng Lize was about to arrive, Xu Shu had to ask.

"Did Sun Ce reply from there?" Lu Bu was silent for a while, and then asked.

"I have replied, saying that I will send someone to crusade against Yuan Shu." Xu Shu hurriedly responded. It is said that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, but for Sun Ce, it is difficult to say whether Yuan Shu is an enemy or a great Han is an enemy.

However, now in terms of the level of threat, Sun Ce felt that Yuan Shu was more threatening, so he came forward to crusade at the same time. Maybe you can also use this as an opportunity to declare yourself a minister to the Han Dynasty, anyway, Xu Shu has had this consideration, but it's hard to say.

"The part of crossing the river will be left to him to solve, and we will do our best anyway." Lu Bu replied, "Besides, if it weren't for the Han people in Jiangnan, in fact, I wouldn't need to bother at all. ”

"The follow-up will require the help of the Propaganda Division." Xu Shu nodded. Do that, but to let the people know why they do that, this requires the Jinyiwei and the Propaganda Department to work at the same time.

It is necessary to let the people understand that the Han Dynasty pursued Yuan Shu because Yuan Shu claimed the emperor without authorization, which was an act of rebellion, and the court had zero tolerance for this kind of behavior. In addition, they could have sat back and watched Yuan Shu and Sun Ce fight to the death, but they still had to take the initiative to pursue Yuan Shu, the purpose was to prevent the two from fighting and endangering the local people.

Whether the people of Jiangnan appreciate it or not, it is naturally two words, but for the people of the older generation, the recognition of the Han is still very high. At least without the rule of the Sun family for two or three generations, it is estimated that the people over there will not think that they are the people of Luoguo.

"It's going to be winter in a few days, and it's not a big deal if you want to fight at that time......" Lu Bu looked at the weather, the armor that can suffocate people in summer doesn't feel very hot now, and even feels that he needs to add a layer of sweater.

If it continues, it is estimated that this snow is going to fall, and there is no way to fight in that weather. However, the advantage is also obvious, that is, the Yangtze River is in a dry period, otherwise Yuan Shu would not have chosen to go south at this time, and it is estimated that he had already begun to go south earlier.

It was very convenient to cross the river at this time, which also meant that Yuan Shu could be pursued to the greatest extent. If you can't catch up like this, it can only be said that this guy's luck is really good.

"How to solve the 10,000 Yuan troops over there in Zongyang?" Lejin, who came over as reinforcements, asked.

"Of course, it's handed over to General Pingdong and the rebellious lieutenant (Zhang Liao)!" Lu Bu replied without thinking about it, since Yuan Shu gave up Lujiang, then Zhang Liao naturally wanted to enter here, and then Zhang Fei would also come over one after another after defeating Que Xuan and Zang Babu.

can be used as bait, then these 10,000 people must be the part of Yuan Jun who is unwilling to follow Yuan Shu south. It is estimated that this part will not have any fighting intentions, and a simple battle will almost be able to surrender.

It took about a day for the army to arrive at Peng Lize, and at this time Yuan Shu had left about 3,000 people in front of the formation, and it was in the water village. You can vaguely see the ship branch that has begun to sail south, and according to the time, it is possible that Yuan Shu has already gone south.

"General Zhennan has an order...... The two armies confronted each other, and Lu Bu sent his soldiers forward to shout, "As long as you surrender immediately, then except for Yuan Shu and his immediate family, everyone else can be spared death!" ”

"No need to talk nonsense!" Speaking of which, there is already a general in the enemy army who has come out, "Yuan's head is here, and if you have the ability, you can come and get it directly!" ”

Yuan Shu didn't leave? Lu Bu was a little surprised at this time, and thought that this guy could give up the three counties of the Central Plains without saying a word, and naturally he would flee as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to be so tough that he would come over with 3,000 people to intercept him. But in this case, who is leaving?

Or, in fact, the one in front of you is not Yuan Shu? Is it just that the other party deliberately said this so that he could attract his attention to this place?

"General, how to deal with it?" Le Jin stepped forward and asked.

"I'll deal with these three thousand people, you go after the ships, don't waste time!" Lu Bu immediately ordered, and then rode his horse towards Yuan Shu and killed him.

"Han thief, let you see and see, the consciousness of Emperor Zhong!" Yuan Shu roared and led his army to rush towards Lu Bu, at this moment his hands, head, and wrists were equipped with treasures, but that was all.

There are no powerful treasures, and there are no treasures with spells attached, so even a slight increase in the army's attack and defense is useless. Others have two scrolls down, and any improvement has become a mirror.

As expected, almost in a face-to-face effort, the other party has been defeated. It's just that the other side really didn't surrender at all, and 3,000 people fought to the last one.

To this extent, Lu Bu even admired these three thousand people.

"Is it Yuan Shu?" It's just that Yuan Shu was beheaded, and Lu Bu sent Zhang Xun, who had been captured in Runan before, to identify him.

"Your Majesty indeed...... Yuan Shu is right. Zhang Xun said with some sadness, he is the general of the Zhong family, and he can be regarded as a very human minister, and he still has a lot of feelings for Yuan Shu, who has the grace of knowing things.

"That's strange......" After getting Zhang Xun's reply, Lu Bu frowned, "Who is the one who led the troops south?" ”
