In the last three days of his life, Yuan Shu showed the highlight moments of his life.

Under the personal leadership of Yuan Shu, more than 100,000 Dazhong Janissaries went out of the city to fight, and in just two days, they won nine battles and nine victories, and defeated Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahoudun, Xu Zhu, Zhou Tai and many other famous generals, which can be said to be extremely majestic.

Of course, the reason why they were able to achieve such a brilliant record is related to the intrigue within the coalition army, and more importantly, they all know that this is Yuan Shu's dying counterattack, in order not to be unlucky to Yuan Shu as a backstop, many generals did not fight seriously, as long as Yuan Shu did not want to break through, in other cases, he immediately retreated when he saw that the momentum was not right.

Two days later, just before the last shred of Zhongguo's luck burned out, Yuan Shu disbanded the tens of thousands of surviving Zhongguo Janissaries on the spot, then dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs (in fact, they were almost gone), and then issued orders to the last courtiers such as Yang Hong, Ji Ling, and Yan Xiang to surrender.

After arranging the afterlife, Yuan Shu set fire to the Zhongguo Palace with his own hands, and then jumped into the flames and set himself on fire to death.

Yuan Yao, the son of Yuan Shu, took the initiative to open the city under the arrangement of Yan Xiang, the three coalition forces surrendered, and Shouchun City was occupied by the three sub-districts.

With the death of Yuan Shu, Zhongguo, who fought alone against nearly half of the princes in the world, also entered the dust of history. Other counties in Jiujiang County also surrendered one after another, and the entire Jiujiang County was also occupied by the princes of Sun, Cao and Liu.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei strongly advocated the killing of Yuan Yao, the reason is very simple - when to rebel and rebel is an unforgivable felony, Yuan Yao, as the former prince of Zhongguo, naturally wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

However, what is surprising is that Sun Ce resisted the pressure of the two and tried his best to protect Yuan Yao, so that Yuan Yao could survive.

In fact, Yuan Yao had a very good personal relationship with Sun Ce.

Because of Sun Ce's personality charm, Yuan Yao admired Sun Ce very much, and Sun Ce was under Yuan Shu before, thanks to Yuan Yaozhao.

In addition, after Zhang Xun failed to snipe Sun Ce and others, the Shouchun City army wanted to kill Sun Ce's relatives in the city according to Yuan Shu's previous orders, but Yuan Yao came forward to save the lives of the Sun family.

It is naturally no problem to kill Sun Ce and destroy the Sun clan, but since Sun Ce is not dead, there is no need to do more. Under Yuan Yao's persuasion, Yuan Shu also planned to leave a trace of incense, so as not to do things desperately.

It was this move that moved Sun Ce extremely much, and under the pressure of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, he saved Yuan Yao's life.

Of course, in terms of practical interests, it is also beneficial for Sun Ce to keep Yuan Yao, otherwise Zhou Yu would not be able to let Sun Ce do things willingly.

Sun Ce can be said to be strong at this time, and he has swallowed up tens of millions of Zhongguo troops before and after, and Sun Ce simply does not have enough grassroots generals in his hands to command such a huge army.

As a last resort, Sun Ce almost completely retained the generals of Zhongguo, and at present, in addition to the high-level generals under Sun Ce's command, most of the middle and low-level generals are former Yuan Shu's subordinates.

Forget about forcing Yuan Shu to death, after all, this is a life-and-death war for hegemony, and no one will say anything. But since Yuan Yao has surrendered, he still wants to kill people, which is too easy to chill.

At this time, once Yuan Yao died, Sun Cejun would almost 100% break out into turmoil.

Therefore, Sun Ce not only couldn't kill Yuan Yao, but also took good care of him and ensured his wealth, so as to appease the hearts of Yuan's old generals.

At the same time, Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, and Ji Ling also surrendered to Sun Ce, and the condition was that the safety of the Yuan clan must be guaranteed. Let's not talk about Yan Xiang and Yang Hong, although Ji Ling's record is relatively embarrassing, and he was beaten by Liu Bei twice in a row to lose his armor, but Sun Ce, who knows Ji Ling's details, does not dare to underestimate him, in the entire Sun family's army, I am afraid that only he and Zhou Tai can win against Ji Ling, and the rest of Han Dang, Zu Mao and others are at most in the middle of Ji Ling.

Even if it was for Ji Ling's loyalty, Sun Ce had to protect Yuan Yao.

As for whether it will raise tigers for trouble, Zhou Yu said: "Hehehe! ”

The important thing was overturned by Yuan Yao in this situation, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu should wipe their necks as soon as possible, don't be embarrassed here.

In response to Sun Ce's efforts to protect Yuan Yao, Liu Bei and Cao Cao only symbolically objected, and seeing Sun Ce's resolute attitude, they no longer made a fuss about Yuan Yao.

Compared with the real benefits, a mere Yuan Yao is not worth mentioning at all!

After Yuan Shu's death, Zhongguo's hometown became a borderless land, in front of such a big piece of fat, just a Yuan Yao is a fart!

At the same time that Cao Liu Sun was forcing Shouchun, the lands originally occupied by Yuan Shu, such as Runan County and Pei County in Yuzhou, were taken by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao unified Yuzhou.

At the same time, Cao Cao also took advantage of the chaos to extend his tentacles to Nanyang County, Jingzhou, but at this time the situation in Nanyang was more complicated, not only the remnants of Zhongguo, but also Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Biao.

Liu Bei not only recovered the previously occupied Xiapi County and Guangling County, and reunified the entire territory of Xuzhou, but also occupied parts of Yangzhou Jiujiang, Wu County, and Danyang County.

Although Sun Ce did not have a clear base for the time being, he had nearly 10 million troops under his command, and most of them were still the elite of the former Zhongguo, and he had obtained a large amount of grain and grass, and there was no shortage of supplies in a short time.

In these years, as long as you have soldiers in your hands, it is not easy to occupy a base area?

The three of them began to discuss how to divide Yuan Shu's inheritance.

The specific negotiation (tearing) judgment (force) process will not be detailed, anyway, the three parties come and go, and the degree of danger is not inferior to the battlefield where the knife is bloody.

After several days of intense discussions, an agreement was finally reached that Yuzhou and Nanyang would all belong to Cao Cao, Sun Ce would withdraw from Nanyang County, Jiujiang County and Wu County would all belong to Liu Bei, and Cao Cao and Sun Ce's forces would withdraw from these two places.

Danyang County is bounded by Liyang, the north belongs to Liu Bei, and the south belongs to Sun Ce.

Lujiang Taishou Liu Xun accepted a large number of Zhongguo relics, and his strength increased greatly in a short period of time, and he was allowed to remain neutral for the time being in line with the principle of picking up soft persimmons.

However, in this division, Sun Ce sacrificed the most, in order to compensate Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others needed to hand over the captured Zhongguo grain and grass and other materials to Sun Ce, and at the same time jointly sent a letter to the imperial court, expressing Sun Ce as the pastor of Yangzhou.

Of course, this Yangzhou pastoral jurisdiction does not include Jiujiang and Wu County, although Lujiang is nominally within the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, Lujiang is too guarded by Liu Xun de facto secession, and at the same time maintains a semi-alliance relationship with Cao Cao (Liu Xun has a good personal relationship with Cao Cao).

Therefore, in the end, Sun Ce's real jurisdiction in Yangzhou was only Huiji County, Yuzhang County and the southern area of Danyang County.

In order to appease Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Cao Cao discussed and decided to transfer Jiangxia County of Jingzhou to Yangzhou, as for whether Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao would have an opinion, it was not something they needed to pay attention to.

Having said that, if Liu Biao and Sun Ce tore up because of this, then Liu Bei and Cao Cao would be able to drink happily.

Of course, the above division is purely theoretical, and if you want to really get the actual right to rule the above-mentioned areas, you have to fight with real knives and guns.
