After knowing the situation of Yuan Shu, Ao Lie pondered for a moment, and then said to Cao Cao and Sun Ce: "Two, although Yuan Shu usurped the title of emperor, it is really a great rebellion, but after all, he was also an important minister of the Han Dynasty, and he also contributed to the Han Dynasty in the battle against Dong. How about we, give him a dignified death? ”

Cao Cao and Sun Ce had no objection to Ao Lie's proposal. Ao Lie stretched out his hand and called Zhao Yun, then untied the Chixiao Divine Sword from his waist and handed it to Zhao Yun, pointing towards Yuan Shu's tent. Zhao Yun and Ao Lie got along for a long time, and immediately understood what Ao Lie meant, nodded lightly to show that he understood, and then walked into Yuan Shu's tent with the Chixiao Divine Sword in both hands.

As soon as Zhao Yun entered the tent, Yuan Shu woke up and turned around. Seeing Zhao Yun standing in front of him with a scabbard in both hands, Yuan Shu was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhao Yun replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "General Yuan is really a noble man who forgets things. At the beginning of the Tiger Prison Pass, a certain had several encounters with the general, doesn't the general remember? ”

After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Yuan Shu looked at Zhao Yun carefully a few times, and then suddenly smiled, his tone was full of sadness: "You, but when Ao Lie was commanded, that white-robed young general who fought with Lu Bu for a hundred rounds?" ”

Seeing that Yuan Shu recognized himself, Zhao Yun nodded and replied, "It's Zhao Yun." Today, Zhao Yun was ordered by my lord to send the general on the last ride. My lord said that the general once had meritorious service to the Han and deserved a decent death. This is our lord's sword, please take it, general. ”

Yuan Shu silently took the scabbard handed over by Zhao Yun, stretched out his hand and pulled out the Chixiao Divine Sword, when he saw that the sword body was as red as blood, he couldn't help but raise his head and said, "This is the Chixiao Divine Sword, right?" Unexpectedly, after reaching the most lu, the most righteous person to me Yuan turned out to be Ao Lie! "With the identity of a traitor like Yuan Shu, he can die under the Chixiao Divine Sword. And it was self-killing, and being able to keep the whole corpse was already the most decent way to die. In the moment before he died, Yuan Shu's hatred for Ao Lie suddenly disappeared invisibly, but turned into heartfelt gratitude, but this gratitude came too late.

Zhao Yun slowly turned his body and turned his back to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu glanced at Zhao Yun's back. Then he raised the Chixiao Divine Sword and slashed heavily towards his neck......

can make the sworn enemy feel grateful, and Ao Lie's mind and courage are really admirable. Outside the tent, Sun Ce didn't need to say it, even Cao Cao, who had always been friends and enemies with Ao Lie, was impressed by Ao Lie and silently stretched out a thumbs. Compare to Ao Lie.

Ao Lie smiled, and then Zhengse said to Cao Cao: "This matter is over, it is time for a certain person to return to Youzhou." I don't know when Sikong plans to leave for Yanzhou? When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately understood. This is Ao Lie afraid that he will take the opportunity to occupy Shouchun, and then take all of Yangzhou, and then ring the alarm bell for himself.

To be honest, Yangzhou is good. But for Cao Cao, it's a bit of a chicken rib. Yangzhou and Cao Cao's territory is only separated by a large river. However, it was divided into north and south by this great river. Most of Cao Cao's soldiers were accustomed to land warfare rather than water warfare, and in the process of this expedition against Yuan Shu, many of Cao Cao's subordinates vomited because of water and soil adaptation. It is indeed not a wise move to rashly take over Yangzhou without making comprehensive preparations.

Besides, Yangzhou is a well-known place of outstanding people, the women here are delicate, and the literati and celebrities are also romantic. Therefore, the phenomenon of scholars in Yangzhou is particularly serious, and people attach almost paranoid importance to the inheritance of family heritage. With Cao Cao's team, more than half of the generals and ministers under his command are not from famous families, let them manage Yangzhou, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with the scholars in Yangzhou, and the governance of Yangzhou can only rely on the local scholars in Yangzhou, but in this case, it is inconsistent with Cao Cao's policy, Cao Cao's views on the scholars are the same as Ao Lie, they are all suppressing the scholars, and meritocracy is lifted. Therefore, before he had enough ability to manage Yangzhou, Cao Cao did not plan to occupy Yangzhou, lest he would be tied up in the future, and he would have to allocate a considerable part of his energy to balance the relationship between the original team and the Yangzhou scholars. Compared with Yangzhou, Cao Cao felt that Xuzhou was better. After returning to Yanzhou, Cao Cao planned to send troops to conquer Xuzhou in the short term, using his father's death as an excuse, and take Xuzhou into his own hands, which would be much better than occupying Yangzhou.

Ha Lu smiled, Cao Cao said to Ao Lie: "At most, within three days, a certain class will return to Yanzhou." Before leaving, I wanted to invite the prince to a certain camp to meet and talk about the world's major affairs. Ao Lie replied happily: "Okay! It is an honor to be able to talk freely about world affairs with Brother Meng De. ”

On the same day, Ao Lie led the army back to Shouchun, and then issued a joint statement, stating that Yuan Shu had been killed by Ao Lie, and the matter came to an end, and the princes should return to the garrison as soon as possible, and should not stay in Shouchun City.

Intimidated by the strong strength of the three people, several other people did not dare to express any objections, Huang Zu was the first to leave Shouchun and return to Jiangxia. Subsequently, after a night of ideological struggle, Liu Bei had to lead the troops to leave gloomily. Originally, this expedition against Yuan Shu was a very important part of Liu Bei's plan, he wanted to take the opportunity to seize a piece of territory for his own development, but he didn't expect Ao Lie's sudden arrival and Yuan Shu's rapid rout, which made Liu Bei's dream completely come to naught. However, Liu Bei is a generation of heroes after all, and in Huang Zu's attitude of leading troops this time, he keenly noticed that the relationship between Huang Zu and Liu Biao was not as harmonious as it seemed, so Liu Bei decided to take refuge in Liu Biao to see if he could take advantage of the contradiction between Liu Biao and Huang Zu and gain any substantial benefits from it.

As for Tao Qian's side, Liu Bei hastily wrote a letter and sent someone to Tao Qian, the meaning of the letter was that he found that some of Liu Biao's subordinates had a heart of disobedience, out of the affection of the same Han family, Liu Bei couldn't bear to see Liu Biao have any accidents, otherwise, the Han Dynasty would lose a pillar of talent. Therefore, with the plan of Jiangshan Society and the meaning of the clan, Liu Bei decided to go to Jingzhou to help Liu Biao, and then return to Xuzhou after stabilizing the situation in Jingzhou and clearing the undercurrent of Jingzhou. Liu Bei said very politely in the letter, but he did not politely swallow Tao Qian's 5,000 elite soldiers without saying a word. As for the specific date of returning to Xuzhou, Liu Bei did not mention it at all in the letter!

After Liu Bei left, it didn't play a role for the trial to stay, so it was better to return to Jizhou earlier, so the trial also greeted Yan Liangwen and Chou. Rectify the people and embark on the road back home. What the trial does not know is that Cao Cao has already secretly sent Cao Ren and Zang Ba to seal all the retreats of the three people, and before sending troops, Cao Cao has been fully prepared, once there is any turmoil in Xuzhou, Cao Ren and Zang Ba will immediately attack Xuzhou; If there is nothing unusual in Xuzhou, the task of the two of them is to automatically change to intercept and interrogate the three people. Strive to kill the team sent by Yuan Shao unknowingly.

The reason why Cao Cao dared to wrestle with Yuan Shao was because the current Yuan Shao, because of the arrival of Ao Lie, no longer had the strength as strong as in history, and Yuan Shao, who only occupied Jizhou and half of Qingzhou, was almost the same in strength as Cao Cao, who occupied Yan, Yu and the other half of Qingzhou, even if it was slightly stronger, it was also very limited.

Relying on Cao Cao's own strength alone. It was difficult to defeat Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao was also unsure that he could defeat Cao Cao. It's a close contest with half of the odds for each side and no one has an absolute advantage. No one can help anyone.

After several other people left Shouchun one after another, Ao Lie wrote a melody and proposed Sun Ce to Liu Xiebao to take the post of Yangzhou pastor. After that, the elite of the bloody killing army was sent to Luoyang day and night to present it to Liu Xie. Ao Lie ceded Yangzhou to Sun Ce. The general reason is the same as Cao Cao, and he doesn't want to fall into the predicament of both ends of the first rat, between the original team and the Yangzhou scholars. Back and forth to find balance.

In addition, Ao Lie also has his own considerations. His political, economic and military centers are all in Yanjing, and the territory is thousands of miles apart from Yangzhou in the south and north, which is bound to cause the flow of materials and the issuance of government decrees, there will be deviations or phenomena that cannot be conveyed at all, if it is peacetime, this is not a big deal, but if there is a big war, this is enough to fatal flaws, Ao Lie does not want to shake his foundation in the secluded and and unfortunate because of a Yangzhou. Moreover, the promotion of Sun Ce as the pastor of Yangzhou is definitely a matter of more advantages than disadvantages for Ao Lie. Sun Ce is Ao Lie's disciple and Ao Lie's eldest brother, there is a deep relationship between the two, this kind of feeling, in ten years, decades or even a lifetime, it is difficult to deteriorate, handing over Yangzhou to Sun Ce is equivalent to establishing a solid ally for himself in Jiangdong, which is far better than letting others get Yangzhou.

For Ao Lie's protection, Sun Ce was overjoyed. If Ao Lie insisted on holding Yangzhou in his hands, Sun Ce couldn't say anything, but Ao Lie generously gave Yangzhou to himself, which made the soldiers from Jiangdong from Sun Ce to all happy. As we all know, when today's son Liu Xie regards Ao Lie as his brother and obeys him all words, the candidate for Ao Lie's promotion can basically be determined. It can be said that in Ao Lie's hands, he has the right of veto and support, and his opinions have an extremely important impact on Liu Xie.

When the Jiangdong soldiers, under the leadership of Sun Ce, came to Ao Lie's camp with wine and meat to express their gratitude to Ao Lie, Ao Lie also seemed extremely happy, and in addition to being happy, Ao Lie also put forward three requirements to Sun Ce in front of the Jiangdong generals. First, he demanded that Sun Ce should take the people in the territory as the starting point in governing the army and government, and not harm the interests of the people; second, he asked Sun Ce to be strict with himself, lenient with others, and gradually correct his murderous and irritable character; Third, he asked Sun Ce to handle the relationship between the aliens and the Han people in Jiangdong, and to treat the Shanyue and other alien races, which should focus on Sinicization education and integration, and not to exterminate the alien races in the territory.

The three demands put forward by Ao Lie were all beneficial to Sun Ce's rule of Jiangdong, and there was no self-interest in them. Let the generals in Jiangdong feel even more sincere admiration for Ao Lie, and Sun Ce himself immediately agreed to Ao Lie's three requirements, and patted his chest and promised to do it. In fact, these three points are also the core policy that Ao Lie has always pursued, Ao Lie knew that between him and Sun Ce, sooner or later there will be a situation of mutual integration, and it is impossible for the Han Dynasty to maintain a divided situation and will never be unified, and now these three requirements for Sun Ce will play a certain role in laying the foundation for the future integration of the north and the south.

At this banquet, Ao Lie also met Sun Quan, who was only fifteen years old, for the first time. Sun Quan is basically the same as the image recorded in history: purple hair and blue eyes, and with natural agility and grace. Don't look at Sun Quan's young age, but Sun Ce has already let him be the county magistrate for more than a year, and during his tenure, he took care of the affairs of the county in an orderly manner, and he couldn't see the handwriting of a fifteen-year-old boy at all. Therefore, Sun Ce promoted Sun Quan beyond the ranks, and specifically let Sun Quan deal with the relationship with the Jiangdong Shi clan, and now Sun Quan is the fourth important minister under Sun Ce who is only Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong brothers and Zhuge Jin, and it is indeed worthy of Cao Cao's famous words that have been passed down to future generations: "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou!" ”

When Ao Lie said his three requirements for Sun Ce, Sun Quan thought so deeply and secretly remembered it in his heart. For a long time after that, Sun Ce and Sun Quan's brothers regarded Ao Lie's three requirements as the fundamental purpose of governing the state and county, and unswervingly implemented them.
