Zong Cheng stared at Chen Yu's handwritten notebook in his hand, he didn't move for a long time, and his body felt chills.

How could Sun Ce agree to this condition, didn't he rush to transfer people into the city for safety. This reply was sent, and as soon as Sun Ce got angry, I had to go and kneel in the snow. On such a cold day, people will die. The messenger came and went, and the people kneeling there had already fallen two.

He understood Chen Yu's thoughts. Chen Yu asked Sun Ce to go out of the city to negotiate, naturally he had his reasons, one was that he didn't want to fall into Sun Ce's trap, and the other was to oppose Sun Ce's army, but Chen Yu didn't consider his Zongcheng's situation at all, and it can even be said that he didn't want to think about it at all.

This Chen Yu is really not a thing, he said last night that he was like a family, and now he will sell me.

Seeing that Zong Cheng hesitated not to speak, Sun Ce raised his eyelids and said slowly, "What did General Chen say?" ”

Zong Cheng had no choice but to get up and send Chen Yu's reply to Sun Ce. Sun Ce didn't move. "Please read it for me."

Zong Cheng's cheeks twitched, but he still swallowed his breath. Chen Yu's writing is very elegant, if Sun Ce reads it directly, he may not be able to understand it, and even if he listens, he will not understand it. But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, some people do, such as Cai Yong, such as Nanyang Haoqiang kneeling in the snow.

Cai Yong sneered: "What evidence does Chen Gongwei have to dare to doubt General Yuan's last words?" I know what he did. No wonder he refused to enter the city, but he was afraid that his mind had already gone to Jizhou. ”

The heroes of Nanyang did not have such a good mood as Cai Yong, and they almost scolded Chen Yu's ancestors for eight generations into scum. You are roasting and drinking wine in a big tent outside the city, but we are freezing in the snow, and you still want to cooperate with us? Cooperate with your ancestors. Zong Cheng, you bastard, you are really blind, how can you negotiate with such a hypocrite?

The heroes of Nanyang were forced to kneel in the snow by Sun Ce, they were cold and hungry, they were still a little hard, and they resolutely did not bow their heads to Sun Ce. But seeing the two people being frozen to death, their psychological defenses slowly began to waver. There are people who would rather die than give in, but there are definitely not many. Usually when you talk about integrity when you have no worries about food and clothing, no one will accept anyone, but there are only a few people who can uphold integrity in the face of death. And these Nanyang Haoqiang obviously have such an awareness. As soon as Zong Cheng finished reading, someone scolded angrily.

"Zong Shilin, how could you negotiate with this kind of person, what the hell did you talk about?"

Sun Ce looked at Zong Cheng and raised his eyebrows. Zong Cheng gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of Sun Ce. "General Sun, I am willing to say, but I have a request."

"Let them go?" Sun Ce squinted at those who were about to freeze to death, and his tone was calm.

"Yes."

"So, you're willing to negotiate with me?"

Before Zong Cheng could speak, someone shouted. "Yes, yes, General, we are willing to talk to you." A person opened his mouth, and immediately people followed, and soon shouted into a voice, scrambling, one voice was louder than the other, and Zong Cheng was embarrassed.

Where is the dignity of these people who are usually above the top at the moment, and what is the difference between them and the untouchables they look down upon?

"Say it." Sun Ce raised his chin and motioned to Zong Cheng.

Zong Cheng hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to phrase it. The conditions he talked about with Chen Yu included things that Nanyang Haoqiang could not accept, as well as Sun Ce's unhappy content, and how to say it rashly would inevitably anger one party, and it might even be unpleasant to both sides. He needs to think it through. But Sun Ce waited, but Nanyang Haoqiang couldn't wait, and when he saw that Zong Cheng didn't speak, someone immediately scolded.

"Zong Shilin, do you want to wait until we all freeze to death?"

"Zong Cheng, what kind of heart do you have?"

Zong Cheng had no choice but to say it as it was. After finishing speaking, he looked at Sun Ce nervously, waiting for the expected anger, but Sun Ce did not react. Just as he was about to ask, Sun Ce said lightly: "Take Zhujun to the courtyard next door to change clothes, and come to General Yuan's spirit to apologize later." ”

"Whoa!" Lei Bo promised loudly, walked in from the side door with his subordinates, and the two of them sandwiched one and lifted the Nanyang heroes out. A moment later, sobbing sounded in the east courtyard, and the Haoqiang family who had been waiting there for a long time cried while changing the clothes of these half-frozen Haoqiang, pouring ginger soup, and rubbing their frozen bodies with snow. They received a notice from the Taishou Mansion and rushed early with their clothes, but across the wall, they watched their family members freeze to death but couldn't lend a hand, and the anxiety in their hearts accumulated more and more over time, and at this moment they broke out, crying and scolding, and making noise.

Zong Cheng sweated like rain, but he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know about the existence of these people before, and now it seems that Sun Ce didn't plan to really freeze them to death from the beginning, but just forced him to speak. If he had said bitterly at the beginning that these people would not have suffered, then they would not have froze to death.

"General, how...... Reply to Chen Yu? ”

"There's no hurry." Sun Ce said slowly, putting Zong Cheng aside, closing his eyes and recuperating.

After a while, the Nanyang heroes who survived the catastrophe rushed in, and bowed down in front of Yuan Shu's spirit in turn, whether it was true or false, and why they cried, anyway, they cried very sadly, and it was said that it was like a funeral.

Sisters Huang Yi and Yuan Quan looked at them coldly, and they didn't even have the interest of crying with them, but just returned the courtesy politely. Yan Xiang was deeply emotional. Yuan Shu had been fighting with these people for so long, and they didn't bow their heads to Yuan Shu, and now they were able to kneel in front of Yuan Shu's spirit and ask for guilt all thanks to Sun Ce. Although this young man does not read much, he is very resourceful. Chen Yu, you will kneel here soon too. Yang Wenming, you will definitely regret it.

Lei Bo and others are happy. These people pleaded guilty in front of Yuan Shu's spirit, which meant that Yuan Shu was the victor in the end, although he was already lying there and could no longer jump up and laugh and scold, but his spirit in the sky must be very happy. He chose Sun Ce and left three wishes, although Sun Ce has not yet completed one of them, he has already seen a glimmer of hope, as long as Sun Ce is alive, he will have a chance to come true.

After the Nanyang heroes repented, Sun Ce had already arranged the seats and was still in the courtyard, but the snow in the courtyard had been swept clean, a thick mat was laid, a fire was lit, and there was hot soup on the case. If it were usual, the heroes of Nanyang would definitely disdain these clear soups that did not have a little bit of meat, but now they are bitter and grateful.

When their emotions stabilized, Sun Ce said lightly: "There is one thing, I want to clarify it first." It is indeed my suggestion to attack your manor, and it is also an order from General Yuan, but what we want is money and food, as well as the troops in your manor, and we have never ordered killing. Therefore, the lives of those who died in non-combat had nothing to do with General Yuan and me. This pot, we do not carry it. ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the Yan elephant. "Mr. Yuantu can testify to this."
