Chapter 111
It’s awesome to travel through time, and the heroes in the world will be worshipped? The ancients taught you how to be a human being in minutes.
Anyway, Sun Ce became more and more afraid the more he thought about it. If he hadn't been hesitating about whether to let Cao Cao go, watching him go down the mountain without giving Cao Cao a chance to attack, even with golden silk and brocade armor, he could not withstand the arrow of the three-stone crossbow, and at this moment he had become a member of the list of the time travelers' dead army.
Seeing that Sun Ce's expression was not good, Yuan Shu didn't say anything further. "So, that short guy refused to surrender?"
Sun Ce withdrew his mind and shook his head.
"This is a bit troublesome." Yuan Shu grabbed his short beard and frowned. "Wancheng is strong, not comparable to Xiangyang. There were originally more than 10,000 people in the city, but now there are more than 5,000 Cao Cao's troops, and the number of troops is only a lot higher than ours. How can we fight?"
Sun Ce didn't think there was anything difficult in Wancheng. He and Zhou Yu had prepared for it, but he didn't want Yuan Shu to think that he was too powerful. It would be better for Zhou Yu to show up in public. His talent is like **, and he must have it, but it doesn't have to be exposed to others, and he cannot be exposed anytime and anywhere, for fear that people don't know.
Yuan Shu was obviously more inclined to listen to Zhou Yu's advice and immediately sent someone to invite Zhou Yu in. After Sun Ce returned to the camp, he met Zhou Yu as soon as possible. Zhou Yu also knew that Yuan Shu would summon him and had been waiting in the tent. He came to Yuan Shu and talked happily in front of Yan Xiang, Zhang Xun and others.
In fact, the plan is not complicated. Sun Jian has already rushed to Yuzhou and will control Yuzhou with the cooperation of the Yellow Turban Army. Tao Qian from Xuzhou in the east and focus on controlling the two counties of Yingchuan and Runan in the west, cutting off Cao Cao's retreat. Yuan Shu's task is very simple. Apart from arranging people to take over the counties of Jingzhou and stabilize the base area, the rest is to regain Wancheng.
Wancheng is very strong, but even the most solid city needs people to guard it. It is not Cao Cao who determines the gains and losses of Wancheng, but the powerful families of Wancheng. Yuan Shu has long been dissatisfied with these powerful families. These people rely on their own strength to ignore Yuan Shu, and do not give food or soldiers. Yuan Shu is in charge of a large county with a population of more than 2 million, but only has 20,000 county soldiers. He cannot be compared with Yuan Shao, and is only a little stronger than Cao Cao.
In the past, we could not tear apart, but now the opportunity has come. The powerful family in Nanyang tear apart the face first. Yuan Shu was naturally happy to throw the mask aside, take out the true nature of a fierce ghost in the road, and rob it well.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu tried their best to encourage Yuan Shu to do a big fight because of their design. Their plan was very simple. Didn’t the powerful family in Wancheng betray Yuan Shu, support Cao Cao, and occupy Wancheng? You hide in Wancheng, I can’t catch them, but most of your industries are outside the city. What is the foundation of the powerful family? Manor. Do you have the ability to move the manor to Wancheng? No.
Well, if one counts one, one surrenders, I will not blame you. If you do not surrender, I will occupy your manor, capture your family and troops, and force you to recruit soldiers. If you dare to kill one, I will kill ten of them. It depends on who is cruel.
This strategy is very important to Yuan Shu's temper. The only problem is whether he can break through the manor in time.
The powerful families in Nanyang are stronger and stronger than those in Xiangyang. The Xi family in the century-old family is considered a top family in Xiangyang, so it is inconspicuous in Nanyang. Most of the heroes who founded the country by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu were from Nanyang. Their manors were not only large but also strong, and they were definitely not comparable to those of the Cai family. To put it too exaggeratedly, they were simply small towns. Even when the Yellow Turban Army swept the world, even when Wancheng was occupied by them, the Yellow Turban Army did not dare to attack those manors easily.
With more troops, I can't take care of it. With less troops, I can't catch it. The Yellow Turban Army had more than 100,000 people in the end, and Yuan Shu had only more than 10,000 people. How can I divide the troops?
Zhou Yu was prepared for this, and Sun Ce made a grand appearance. In front of Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang and others, Sun Ce patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, give me ten days to guarantee that I will capture the most solid manor in Wan County."
Yan Xiang looked at Sun Ce without saying a word, her eyes seemed to be looking at an idiot.
Yuan Shu was also a little suspicious. "How many people do you want?"
"Just let Huang Zhong's troops follow me, and the rest are commanded by the general."
Sun Ce's generosity moved Yuan Shu very much. Sun Jian went to Yuzhou and took away only 10,000 people he brought from Changsha. More than 10,000 people he stolen from Wang Rui and Zhang Zi were left behind. Sun Ce brought more than 3,000 people from Xiangyang, and Huang Zhong's troops plus the two thousand people he directly commanded, he only had less than 4,000, and the remaining eight or nine thousand people were given to Yuan Shu.
"Is this... enough?" Yuan Shu was very worried. "The largest manor department in Wan County also has two or three thousand people."
Sun Ce was confident. "A group of mobs, no matter how many people came, it would be a dish. General, please tell me who to beat first."
Yuan Shu did not think. "Of course it's the He family."
Sun Ce was slightly stunned, and then remembered what Cao Cao said. "So, General, Why is the Great General?"
Yuan Shu sighed. "Although He Jin had not been in high spirits for a long time, he was a great disaster. He could not refuse to blame the great man who has come to this point today. If he had not been indecisive and entangled with the eunuch, why would Dong Zhuo and others come to Beijing? How could Dong Zhuo and others be burned into white land by Dong Zhuo? He Jin had no choice but to die, but his son He Xian blamed me Yuan. When I first arrived in Nanyang, he sent someone to invite him, but he stayed in the door. Now Cao Cao has entered Wancheng, but he was the first to respond. Since he wanted to kill a warning to him, let's start with the He family."
Sun Ce looked around and saw Yan Xiang and others silent. He didn't even speak a single one of He Jin's words, and he seemed to be in a clear mind. Although Yuan Shu was serious, there was only one reason why He Xian deserved to die: The He family came from a poor family. He Jin actually died at the hands of the Yuan family. Now he has the opportunity to wipe out the He family. How could Yuan Shu let it go? It was said that it was to attack the powerful family, but who would have thought that he would be the first to move but was a nouveau riche in the poor family, and no one mentioned the real powerful family.
The money fell down and the wall scattered. Everyone pushed him. He Jin died and the young emperor was deposed. There would be no trouble in the operation of the He family. No wonder He Jin's grandson He Yan did not surrender to Yuan Shao, but became Cao Cao's fake. This was all fate. Sun Ce suddenly felt that it was right to let Cao Cao go. He wanted to deal with the powerful family just for the sake of the general trend, but Cao Cao had personal feelings about the powerful family, which was more urgent than him.
"Okay, I'll set out immediately. Within ten days, I will break through the He family and bring the people, wealth and property of the He family to see the general."
Yuan Shu was very satisfied, and stood up, pressed Sun Ce's shoulder with a weird look. "Bo Fu, I'll wait for your good news. Be careful. Although He Jin has only been a general for a few years, he is very greedy and the manor is very strong. Do your best and don't force it. If the troops are insufficient, send someone to send you a message and I will lead the troops to reinforce you."
Sun Ce nodded with a smile and looked around, and was about to express his determination to win passionately, but he found that Yan Xiang, Zhang Xun and others had complicated eyes. Some were angry, some sighed, and some shook their heads with regret.
Sun Ce didn't understand why. I didn't see you talking just now, but now everyone is worried. Why do you feel sorry for me? He bowed.
"General, I have a request."
"speak."
"I must come when attacking Wancheng."
"Why?" Yuan Shu was very curious.
Sun Ce gritted his teeth. "I want to chop that bastard Cao Cao with my own hands."
Yuan Shu exchanged glances with Yan Xiang and others, and laughed proudly. "Okay, I promise you."
