"Run?" Sun Ce was surprised. He estimated that Cao Cao would run, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to run so fast that he couldn't hold on for even twelve hours. This was too unexpected.

"I didn't expect it?" Yuan Shu's eyebrows were almost flying, his eyes were full of frivolity that was not commensurate with his age. "I didn't expect that this short man usually speaks well, but he'd be timid when he fights. Hehe, I was negligent this time, and I didn't expect him to run so fast. I thought he would have to hold on for two or three days. Huang Achu's stone throwing machine was well done. I guess Cao Cao was scared away by that game. Well, when he entered the city, I would like to reward her more and will definitely enfeoff her several counties as fiefs in the future."

Sun Ce was amused and cried, and quickly interrupted Yuan Shu. "General, do you want to chase him at this moment?"

Chen Yu grabbed the topic and laughed: "Of course I have to chase after you. After fighting for so many days, I can't let Cao Cao run away like that. Sun Lang, I have to thank you for saying that I have to say that when you said you would take down Wancheng within ten days, I was very suspicious."

"General, you can't chase him." Sun Ce didn't care about the Han Chuan and hurriedly stopped him. "I just fought for a day, and even if Cao Cao had any losses, he would be very limited. If I guessed correctly, he should have taken away his Dongjun County soldiers, with a number of between four and five thousand, and there might be four or five hundred cavalry outside the city to pick him up. We were all infantry, so we rashly chased him. What if we were in trouble?"

"He dares to ambush me at this time?" Yuan Shu blinked, his eyes full of pride.

"Why don't you dare? Cao Cao broke through in the middle of the night because he was so dark that he couldn't see clearly. You can't see clearly where he was going, nor do you know what arrangements he had. You either couldn't catch him or hit him in ambush."

Chen Yu was embarrassed and his smile froze on his face. Several other generals looked at each other and closed their mouths one after another.

Yuan Shu rolled his eyes, but he was still unwilling to accept it.

"General, Sun Lang is right." Yan Xiang walked in quickly. "Our purpose is to occupy Wancheng, not to kill Cao Cao. Cao Cao has become a dog of a family, and a crossbow can be destroyed. Instead of taking risks and pursuing, it is better to fight steadily and send people into the city to persuade them to surrender as soon as possible."

Yuan Shu was so excited that he rolled his eyes, let out a breath of air, stretched his hand into his armpits and scratched it, then reached his nose and sniffed it, and said reluctantly: "Okay, listen to you. Alas, I haven't taken a shower for many days, and it's almost smelly. I have to take a good shower first when I enter the city."

With Yan Xiang assisted, Sun Ce successfully convinced Yuan Shu. Although Chen Yu and others were unwilling to accept it, when they thought of the experience of being attacked by Cao Cao at night in Xinye last time, and when they thought about Sun Ce’s reminder, no one dared to take the initiative to ask for the fight. Staying here can easily accept Wancheng. Although it may be a success if they chased after him, they are more likely to be ambushed by Cao Cao and suffered severe damage.

When they are in troubled times, their troops are the foundation of their lives, and no one is willing to take this risk.

Before Sun Ce arrived, these people in unison advised Yuan Shu to pursue Cao Cao, and they were angry and frightened. It seemed that if they chased him, they could kill Cao Cao and even kill Cao Cao's head. Yuan Shu was so excited that he almost immediately went out to pursue him. Now, when Sun Ce and Yan Xiang said, no one said anything. Yuan Shu was angry when he saw this scene, and his face became not very good-looking. He cursed a few words.

Chen Yu was even more depressed in his eyes, and even looked at Sun Ce with a little unhappy look. Sun Ce realized that he was too anxious and had slapped Chen Yu's face. He wanted to ease it, but when he saw Chen Yu's expression, he probably even if he bowed his head, Chen Yu might not give him face, so he just let it go.

Chen Yu was of average ability, but Chen Yu was born in a famous family and was considered a few of the famous families under Yuan Shu. His father, Chen Qiu, was a famous party member. He became famous at a young age, and was a filial and honest mansion. He was not long ago and was promoted to the prefect of Wujun. However, because Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he followed Yuan Shu to Nanyang, so he did not go there. Under Yuan Shu, he was the oldest, a few years older than Yuan Shu. Even Yuan Shu had to give him some face. The generals captured the manor and took the troops of each family as soldiers. He got the most, and there were five or six thousand people under the tent, divided into three battalions, and led one battalion, so that his younger brother Chen Cong and his former official Chen Mu were the lieutenants, and each led one battalion.

However, Sun Ce really didn't take him seriously. Sun Ce could not curry favor with such a powerful man who came from a famous family but had no real talent and knowledge. Chen Yu had many soldiers, but he had more soldiers.

Sun Ce didn't see it, and Chen Yu was so angry that his beard was raised. He did not say hello to Yuan Shu and left.

Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang discussed it and sent Cai Mao to the city to negotiate. Then he ordered the generals to return to the camp and prepare to enter the city. Sun Ce returned to the camp and wanted to sleep again, but he couldn't sleep any longer.

Cao Cao just ran away like this?

Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong also found it incredible. They and Sun Ce had different opinions, but one thing was basically close. Even if Cao Cao wanted to break through, he should hold on for a few days, at least he would wait until the east gate of the inner city was defeated and the defeat was decided before leaving.

"General!" A personal guard hurried in, his face pale. "There was an accident in the stone throwing machine position, and Miss Huang was injured."

Sun Ce was shocked and had no time to think about it, so he picked up Qianjunpo who was leaning against the bed and rushed out. Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong also followed. Beidou Feng did not dare to neglect and accelerated his pace to chase him.

Sun Ce rushed out of the camp in one breath and came to the stone throwing machine position in front of the formation. Zhou Yu was already there, in good order, and the craftsmen were calm. Only three giant stone throwing machines destroyed one, and the long tip pole was broken into two pieces. Two doctors were bandaging Huang Yueying. When they saw Sun Ce running towards him, they quickly moved away.

"What's going on?" Seeing Huang Yueying's arms wrapped in splints, Sun Ce felt distressed and anxious, and was furious, pulled out Qianjunpo, shouting with murderous intent: "Who's the responsibility? Let me stand up!"

"My own responsibility." Huang Yueying's face was pale, her voice was still a little trembling, but there was a sense of indescribable expression in her eyes. She stretched out her hand and signaled Sun Ce to support her. Sun Ce quickly handed Qian Junpo to Beidou Feng, helped Huang Yueying up, and said with concern: "How did you get hurt? Is it serious?"

"It's not a problem. The tip of the stone thrower broke. I didn't pay attention to my feet when I was avoiding it. I fell and my arm was broken. The doctor said it was not serious, and I could recover after a while." Huang Yueying grabbed Sun Ce's arm tightly, said it was okay, but tears came out. It seemed that she was scared, but she had been holding it back just now. Seeing Sun Ce, she couldn't help it.
