Chapter 712: Sun Ce's Choice

The Jiangdong generals received the order and ordered their soldiers to carry it out. I saw a Jiangdong team, carrying a spear with a cold light, forcing the Jiangxia captives to jump into the pit, if they did not obey or were slow, the Jiangdong soldiers immediately raised their guns and stabbed them without hesitation.

For a time, the tragic cry for mercy, the desperate cry, and the exhaustive scolding were endless. Sun Ce kept a cold look, until he looked at the pits being reburied with mud, his heart was full of joy, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up a smile, as if he was enjoying the cruel scene in front of him.

By the time all the Jiangxia captives had been killed, it was already dawn the next day. At this time, Zhou Yu and Lu Meng sent people to report that Huang Zhong and Gan Ning escaped. When Sun Ce heard this, he was furious, and strictly ordered the two soldiers to report back, and they were bound to arrest Huang Zhong and Gan Ning. At the same time, a reward order was issued, such as Huang Zhong and Gan Ning's heads, a thousand gold rewards, and a thousand marquis. If it is the one who is alive, he will be sealed as the marquis of ten thousand households. The Jiangdong generals were ordered, and each of them had to fight for merit and pursue the attack.

Huang Zhong was chased and killed by Jiangdong soldiers and horses all the way, and was ambushed even again, but he didn't care about the lack of men and horses, and his injuries were injured, so he broke through all the way and looked at Jiangxia. When Zhou Yu heard this, Huang Zhong broke through the ambush he set up one after another, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.

Later, Zhou Yu personally led the troops to chase and kill non-stop for days, chased to Jiujiang, and listened to the report of the Jiangdong soldiers who intercepted and killed in front, Huang Zhong was rescued by a Jingzhou soldier and horse, and crossed the river. Zhou Yu was frightened, fearing that Liu Biao would suddenly attack Jiangdong, so he hurriedly informed Sun Ce that he collected troops and temporarily guarded Jiujiang, and at the same time ordered Xizuo to go to Jingzhou to investigate.

However, it was said that Huang Zhong was repeatedly chased and killed by Jiangdong soldiers, and died in the realm of Jiangdong, and when he arrived in Jiujiang, he was exhausted, and his injuries were even more difficult to ignore. Just when Huang Zhong thought that he was going to hate Jiujiang, suddenly a team of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers and horses stood out from all the way and killed the pursuing soldiers in Jiangdong.

Huang Zhongding looked at it, the general who came to the rescue, his face was like a heavy jujube, his eyes were like stars, the tiger's back was a bear's waist, his arms were huge, his strength was powerful, and he looked very heroic. Huang Zhong forcibly suppressed the tiredness and pain, bowed his hand, and opened his mouth to ask.

"Righteous man, save your life. Huang Hansheng should keep it in mind, if there is an order in the future, he will never give up! I wonder if the righteous can tell him his name!? ”

"General Huang, don't be polite, you are the guarantee of Jiangxia, and you have always admired it. A certain is Yiyang Wei Wenchang, this time he was instructed by Liu Jingzhou to secretly cross the Yangtze River and enter Jiangdong to save General Huang! ”

This general is Wei Yan, the subordinate general under Liu Biao. Huang Zhong saw that Wei Yan was very miraculous, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to Wei Yan at the moment, and after thanking him for saving his life, Wei Yan was afraid that Jiangdong would chase and kill him, so he urged Huang Zhong to leave with him. The two led the army to the river bank at high speed, broke through the pass all the way, killed hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers, and several Jiangdong generals, unstoppable, like a bamboo, rushed to the river bank.

As soon as Huang Zhong stepped on the ship, his physical strength was exhausted and he passed out. Wei Yan hurriedly rescued him, and ordered the soldiers to peel off Huang Zhong's armor, and saw that Huang Zhong's body was full of large and small bloody wounds, and there were nearly fifty or sixty places, and everyone who saw it was shocked. Wei Yan hurriedly ordered the soldiers, sailed away, and crossed the river. Huang Zhong also escaped because of this.

On the other side, Zhou Yu heard in Jiujiang that he went to Jingzhou to make a reward. learned that at the same time as Sun Ce annihilated Huang Zu, Liu Biao listened to the plan of his military advisor Kuai Liang, a famous man in Jingzhou, and suddenly sent troops to occupy Jiangxia. And the team that infiltrated Jiangdong, Zhou Yu expected to be sent by Liu Biao.

A few days later, Sun Ce led the army to arrive, and when he heard that Huang Zhong, the enemy who killed his father, was rescued by Liu Biao, he was furious and wanted to march to Jiangxia. Zhou Yu shook his head and blocked.

"Calm down, my lord. Let's listen to Yu's words. That Liu Jingsheng is a very profound city, he knows that Huang Chengjie has ambitions and wants to eradicate it, but he has the power of the Huang family. This time, he actually used our hands to kill people with a knife! At that moment, he ordered his general Han Xuan to lead 50,000 Jingzhou soldiers to occupy Jiangxia. At the same time, he also ordered Han Xuan to prepare all kinds of equipment to defend the city, and prepare to resist our Jiangdong army.

At present, our Jiangdong army has fought fiercely repeatedly, and the soldiers are exhausted, and they must not march easily. Otherwise, you will fall for Liu Jingsheng's tricks. Liu Jingsheng is different from that Huang Chengjie, he has been in charge of Jingzhou for a long time, and he has deep roots, if he wants to start a war with him, he must be far-sighted and recuperate before he can act! ”

"Then Liu Jingsheng dared to use my Jiangdong to make a plan to kill people with a knife!! Wow wow!! I'm mad too!! I'm angry!! ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he burst into anger and roared. Zhou Yu was calm, his eyes were shining, his mind was spinning, and he was thinking quickly.

After a while, after Sun Ce was deflated, Zhou Yu slowly opened his mouth to persuade.

"Nowadays, the soldiers are tired, and the first lord has just died. The lord will return to Wuhui first, appease people's hearts, and let the soldiers in the army recuperate for half a year. I expect that in half a year, the world will change greatly. For this reason, the lord must first make sufficient preparations to meet this great change! ”

"What do you mean by Gong Jin?"

Zhou Yu's face rarely became extremely solemn, and Sun Ce was taken aback when he saw it. Zhou Yuzhi is so close to the demon, he knows everything in the world, he is so dignified, Sun Ce is the first time to see it.

"Now the situation in the world will be decided. The era of princes competing for the Central Plains has passed. The hussar general Wen Han killed Han Sui first in Yongzhou, defeated Ma Teng, and captured the land of Yongzhou. In recent years, he led his troops to defeat Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, and attacked Liangzhou. Coupled with the annexation of states and the land east of the river, Wenhan has become the overlord of the northwest.

Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, also defeated Yuan Shao in Hebei and captured the land of Yuan's three states, Hebei, You, and Qing, covering nearly half of the rivers and mountains, becoming the most powerful prince in the world.

Cao Cao and Wen Han have gathered the foundation to win the world. And the remaining princes in the world today are Liu Jiyu in Yizhou, Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, Zhang Gongqi in Hanzhong, and the lord of Jiangdong, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou. The former three, facing Cao Cao and Wen Han, only had the power to defend them, and sooner or later they would be destroyed in the hands of the two. In this way, the only person in the world who can compete with these two people is the lord.

If the lord wants to compete with Cao and Wen for the world, he must not be careless, and these two are both male lords who have never been seen in a hundred lifetimes. Cao and Wen have both won great victories in Hebei and Xiliang in recent years, accumulating a monstrous trend. At this time, the soldiers and horses under the control of the two were all recuperating, and after half a year, Cao and Wen would inevitably send troops again to expand their power. As expected by Yu, Cao Cao is likely to go south to take Jingzhou, and as for Wen Han, there is a good chance that he will send troops to take Hanzhong.

At present, the most important thing for the lord to watch out for is Cao Cao, if Cao Cao attacks Jingzhou, it is very likely that he will take advantage of the situation to take Jiangdong directly. Cao Cao defeated the Yuan clan and collected nearly hundreds of thousands of troops, plus the more than 300,000 soldiers and horses he originally had, and heard that Cao Cao had recruited new soldiers in the states under his jurisdiction. Cao Cao's momentum is large, Liu Jingsheng is difficult to resist, if Cao Cao attacks with all his strength, Jingzhou is only afraid that it will be difficult to defend for more than a year. When Cao Cao captures Jingzhou and reaches the realm of Jiangdong, it is likely that the lord will face nearly one million Cao troops! ”

"Million Cao Jun!?"

Even Sun Ce, who was known as the little overlord, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this number, and a little fear surged in his eyes.

"Yes, too. If the lord only hopes to become the king of one party, he can surrender to Cao Cao at that time. In order to determine the overall situation, Cao Cao gathered momentum to fight with Wen Bufan, and was determined to be crowned the king. But if the lord is determined to be in the world, he must be prepared to resist Cao Cao's million-strong army in the future! ”

Zhou Yu said calmly and cautiously. Sun Ce's face changed, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked.

"At that time, we can't follow the old plan to subvert Yuan Highway, first deceive Cao Cao, secretly join forces with Wen Bufan, and when Cao Cao and Wen Bufan start a war, then take advantage of the situation to attack Jingzhou and take Luoyang, its hinterland!"

When Zhou Yu heard this, he shook his head without hesitation.

"Cao Cao is the hero of the world. How can Yuan Highway be comparable to such goods. The lord's plan can not be concealed from Cao Cao. At that time, once the lord votes for Cheng Cao Cao, Cao Cao will definitely try his best to seize the power in the hands of the lord and pull out the lord's minions to ensure that nothing goes wrong, so as to prepare for his war with Wen Bufan. If Cao Cao found out that the lord was deceitful, he would move troops to fight against the lord. At that time, we lost the opportunity, and the situation was even more unfavorable for us!! ”

"In this way, even if I really surrender to Cao Cao, will I just be a prince with no power!?"

Sun Ce exhaled heavily, his eyes full of unwillingness. It was not easy for his Sun family to accumulate the foundation of winning the world now, and he wanted Sun Ce to give it up, but Sun Ce was absolutely unwilling.

"If not. What the lord will face in the future is a million Cao army! If he can win, the lord can maintain the foundation, sit and watch the situation, and seek the world. If the battle is defeated, the lord and even our civil and military forces will be wiped out, and there will be no place to bury them! I don't know if the lord wants to descend or not!? ”

Zhou Yuhao's eyes burst out with brilliant brilliance, Sun Ce glared at the tiger's eyes, and shouted word by word.

"Ning! Die! No! Fall! ”

"Good! This is my Zhou Gongjin's brother-in-law! I am willing to fight to the death for the Lord to the end! ”

As soon as Zhou Yu bowed his hand, he bowed to Sun Ce. Sun Ce hurriedly held on, there was no fear in his eyes, and he was full of burning fighting spirit at this time.

"There is Gongjin to complement each other. I am like a tiger with wings, even in the face of millions of Cao Cao, I am not afraid! ”

"In this case, please listen to me. For the time being, let go of the enmity of the ancestors, stop the army, and let the Jiangdong soldiers recuperate and prepare for the battle with Cao Cao in the future! ”

What Gong Jin said was very true. The big picture is really important at the moment. After repelling Cao Cao, with my Jiangdong forces, it will be easy to get rid of a small Huang Hansheng! ”

Sun Ce bowed his head heavily, and then according to Zhou Yu's words, he gave up the heart of attacking Jingzhou, and ordered all troops and horses to evacuate Jiujiang and rush to Wuhui. After Sun Ce returned to Wuhui, he let the armies rest and recuperate, and on the one hand, he recruited talents, treated others with condescension, and stabilized the heart of Jiangdong's civil and military affairs, and at the same time vigorously promoted young generals such as LΓΌ Meng, Ling Tong, Chen Wu, and Pan Zhang, so that these young generals could recruit soldiers and horses in various places and train the new army.

Sun Ce worked hard, made his own arrangements, and carefully prepared for the battle with Cao Cao's million-strong army in the near future, which Zhou Yu predicted.

However, he said that in Jingzhou not long ago, Liu Biao knew that Huang Zu was ambitious and wanted to get rid of it for a long time.

Kuai Liang, the word is soft, a native of Zhonglu in Nanjun, is the brother of Kuai Yue, his person is resourceful, and the two brothers assist Liu Biao and support his success. Kuai Liang is proficient in astronomy, talented and eight-digit, and his brother Kuai Yue are deeply used by Liu Biao. Kuai Liang was even praised by Liu Biao as having the 'theory of Yongji'.

Kuai Liang saw Zhou Yu's plan, and said to Liu Biao that Huang Zu would definitely die if he attacked Jiangdong this time. Liu Biao thought to himself, his lips were cold and his teeth were cold, and he wanted to send troops to save him. But Kuai Liang admonished that he would take this opportunity to let Sun Ce get rid of Huang Zu's tumor. Then he taught Liu Biao to secretly recruit soldiers and horses to retrieve Jiangxia. Liu Biao complied, and immediately sent the general Han Xuan to lead the troops to Jiangxia. Among them, Kuai Liang and admonished, Huang Hansheng, a general under Huang Zu, has extraordinary martial arts, and is praised by the people of Jiangxia as the guarantee of Jiangxia. Therefore, Liu Biao was asked to send an elite army to infiltrate Jiangdong to rescue Huang Zhong. Liu Biao also complied, and sent Wei Yan to lead an elite army to secretly cross the Yangtze River, and finally Wei Yan also completed his mission and rescued Huang Zhong.

With the death of Huang Zu, the Jingzhou wealthy 'Huang family' immediately lost power. Liu Biao's power was stabilized a little, and he was happy in his heart. At this time, Liu Bei was crusading against the generals Zhang Wu and Chen Sun in Xiangyang, and the battle situation was known, so Liu Biao immediately sent people to investigate.

In other words, Liu Bei led the generals under his command, led 30,000 troops, and killed them to Xiangyang. When Zhang Wu and Chen Sun learned about it, they brought troops to greet them. Liu Bei, Pan, Zhang, Taishi, and Hua Si will be under the banner of the door. Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the horse that Zhang Wu was riding, extremely majestic, bright-eyed, and quite humane.

"This must be a thousand-mile horse that is hard to come by! It's a pity that he was ridden by mediocre talents like Zhang Wu and buried his talent. ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei laughed and shouted in his thunderous voice.

"Why should my brother sigh. If you like it, my little brother will get it for you! ”

After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he stood up and speared out, rushed to the other side, shouted loudly, and called Zhang Wu to fight.

"Zhang Wu thief, hurry up and fight!!"

Zhang Fei's loud voice and insulting Zhang Wu spread throughout the army.
