Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

"Keep the man under the knife and capture him alive!" Seeing that Xu Gong was about to die here, a voice came suddenly.

Hearing familiar and unfamiliar voices, Zhu Zhi quickly turned the blade, and slapped the fleeing Xu Gong with the back of the blade.

"Pfft!" After being hit hard on the back, Xu Gong fell forward, spitting out blood.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhi got off his horse with a knife in his hand, picked up Xu Gong who was struggling, and rushed to Sun Ce who was charging forward.

As for Xu Gong's remnant army, seeing that there was a strong enemy in front and pursuers behind, they had already fled in all directions when Xu Gong fell from his horse, so the chasing Sun Ce's army did not encounter much resistance.

Sun Ce, the leader, rushed to the battlefield, just happened to encounter the scene just now, so he spoke to stop Zhu Zhi.

When the two touched each other, Zhu Zhi knelt down on one knee and said, "Zhu Zhi has met General Sun!"

Junli got up quickly, Sun Ce got off his horse and helped Zhu Zhi up, saying, "my late father mentioned generals in front of Ce since childhood, and it is an honor for Ce Bei to have a general vote today."

Zhu Zhi's eyes were slightly red, and he said tremblingly, "My lord, Zhi has been waiting for this day for many years, and it's finally here!"

Hearing this, Sun Ce was also extremely moved, he pulled Zhu Zhi up and said, "Jun Li quickly follow Ce to the city, I'm going to have a drink today."

Although Zhu Zhi was moved in his heart, he had a clear distinction between public and private, and when he heard about drinking, he hurriedly said: "My lord, it is not easy to drink during the battle at this time. I'd better wait until after this battle is over, and I will talk about the old relationship."

"Well, that's fine, then Ce will lead the army to capture the defeated army first." Sun Ce nodded in agreement, and immediately got on his horse, ready to chase the defeated army.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhi stepped forward and begged for orders: "How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? My lord stays behind to clean up the battlefield, and Zhi leads the troops to go."

"Hahaha!" Seeing Zhu Zhi pleading for orders, Sun Ce laughed and said, "Okay, then I will thank you, Ce is in the city, waiting for the good news with Gong Fu and others."

Zhu Zhi clasped his fists to salute, then rushed to the rear headquarters, leading the army to chase in the direction of the defeated army.

Seeing this, Sun Ce ordered the army to clean up the battlefield, and escorted Xu Gong back to the city by himself.

Inside the prefect's mansion, Xu Gong stood with a pale face, regretting in his heart that he had used his tongue in the city before, and now he was in a desperate situation.

Seeing that Sun Ce, who was seated above him, did not speak for a long time, Xu Gong thought that both the left and the right were dead, so he said out of breath:

"Sun Ce, now that the defeat of the army is bound by you, if you want to kill or cut, let's have a good time."

"Oh." Sun Ce nodded with a smile, and said to the soldiers beside him, "Quickly give Governor Xu a seat."

Um?What does Sun Ce want to do? Is he going to surrender himself?

If so, it's a good choice.

Xu Gong was puzzled, his face recovered a trace of blood, and when he saw the soldiers move the seats, he sat down with a disturbed expression.

Chapter 315 Cao Cao's Choice

Seeing Xu Gong like this, Sun Ce felt confident, so he said slowly: "Prefect Xu, Ce wants you to continue to manage Wu County, do you agree?"

what?

He, how dare he hand over Wu Jun to himself, isn't he afraid?

Xu Gong looked shocked, and looked at Sun Ce in disbelief, trying to find the answer from his eyes.

Seeing this, Sun Ce said, "Prefect Xu, don't worry, I, Sun Ce, don't suspect people and employ people."

Hearing this, Xu Gong was moved and knelt down and said: "Gong has eyes but no eyes. He insulted the lord earlier, please punish the lord."

Sun Ce hurriedly stood up, helped Xu Gong up, and said, "Before you and I were hostile to each other, it was normal to be a little unhappy, and Governor Xu should not take it to heart."

With just a few words, Sun Ce gained Xu Gong's loyalty and made a good start for quickly stabilizing Wu County.

After Wujun, Kuaiji has become Sun Ce's pocket, and most of Yangzhou has also fallen into Sun Ce's hands.

The remaining small forces will only have two choices, either choose to surrender, or turn into ashes under Sun Ce's army.

When the news came out, the princes were all shocked. At the same time, they lamented that Sun Jian gave birth to a good son, and made fun of Yuan Shu for being blind and letting a tiger go.

In the Taishou Mansion of Puyang City, East County of Yanzhou, Cao Cao looked at the silk cloth in his hand, and his face became darker.

Presumably in the current situation, Cao Cao can only be regarded as a second-rate prince. Others have won consecutive battles, but he fell a big somersault in Puyang, but fortunately he finally won the city.

"Huh!" Cao Cao breathed out, handed the silk cloth to Xun Yu, and said, "Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, and Sun Ce came to Yangzhou. Lu Bu has not been eradicated in Yanzhou. It's a headache. Do you have a good plan? "

"Ahem!" Xi Zhicai coughed a few times, and said weakly, "My lord, Puyang has fallen, and Lu Bu's troubles will definitely be eradicated within a few months."

"Liu Bei from Xuzhou, fighting with Yuan Shu's [-] troops will definitely hurt his vitality, and he may take the opportunity to choose one."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's all right now, I don't know where Cao Cao's opportunity is!"

Xun Yu had just finished looking at the handkerchief and saw that Cao Cao was eager to grow stronger, so he said, "There is one right now, I wonder if my lord would like to take it?"

"Oh?" Xun Yu never did anything he was not sure of, how could he be like this today? Could it be that there is something wrong with this matter.

Cao Cao thought for a while, and asked curiously, "Wen Ruo, let me hear it?"

"Chang'an, if you get this place, my lord can add another state." Xun Yu replied, keeping his eyes on Cao Cao, trying to observe his inner thoughts.

Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, but his heart was turbulent.

The Son of Heaven is a good choice. For crusade against the princes, he is born to occupy the harmony of people.

But Liu Xie is still young, and he is afraid that he will be bewitched and controlled by the aristocratic family, so it won't be a second.

But risks and benefits coexist, if Liu Xie can be controlled, it will be more effective with less effort.

Unable to see Cao Cao's intentions, Xun Yu explained: "Chang'an is now under the control of the Xiliang Army, and the people complaining about it are full of complaints. If my lord brings the army forward, it will be taken in one fell swoop."

"At that time, the Xiliang army will survive, and if they break their will to fight to the death, they will surely receive a lot of surrenders. Moreover, if they support the emperor, they can also take the initiative in name and profit from it."

Cao Cao put away his thoughts, nodded and said: "This method kills two birds with one stone, but it is a second plan, but we still need to think carefully."

"Now that Yanzhou has gone through such a catastrophe, I am afraid that it will not be able to support the hundreds of thousands of people in the Sili school and lieutenant department."

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't accept it immediately, Xun Yu didn't say much. After all, this plan is too important, and it is normal to think carefully.

However, Xun Yu believed that Cao Cao's previous defeat in Puyang and finally won the city, he would definitely choose this quick recovery method.

As for the battle in Xuzhou, it is impossible for Cao Cao to intervene. Yuan Shu is arrogant and arrogant, and he will definitely not need help from others. Liu Bei is very scheming, as long as he is not desperate, he will definitely not ask others for help.

On the contrary, if Cao Cao forcibly intervenes, I am afraid that the two will ignore the previous suspicions and join forces to fight him.

Furthermore, Yanzhou may not be able to resist the two joining hands after this big battle.

When Xun Yu was silent, Cao Cao suddenly said to Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, your body is not healthy yet, you should go back to rest earlier, don't break your body."

Xi Zhicai is so smart, he naturally knew that Cao Cao wanted to avoid him, so he got up and left.
