Liu Bei smacked his lips. Although he thought Sun Ce's words were crazy and harsh, he had no intention of refuting him at all.

If he had a little more time in advance, he would definitely disagree. Even if he would not refute it, he would at least complain in his heart. But now, he had no idea at all. Apart from Yuan Tan, there was indeed no one worthy of being Sun Ce's opponent. He was not worthy of him, and Jiang Qi was not worthy of him.

If his failure is also negligent, then Jiang Qi's failure is completely the result of Sun Ce's step-by-step efforts. He is by Sun Ce, watching how Sun Ce patiently accumulates results with repeated attacks, and seeing how Sun Ce seizes the opportunity. He is as thunderous as thunder. He only uses more than a hundred white liars to chase Jiang Qi and escape in his camp, not giving Jiang Qi even a chance to fight back.

Before this, he was a little confused and confused, but he didn't see it very clearly like a flower in the fog. But now, when he learned that Sun Ce's target was Yuan Tan, he suddenly realized and understood Sun Ce's entire plan.

This was never an inspiration, but a deliberate plan. Sun Ce did not regard Jiang Qi as his target from the beginning. Everything was prepared for Yuan Tan. It was just that this plan was too bold. If it was said from the beginning, no one would believe it. Even now, not everyone can think of it.

Yuan Tan is not far away from this, saying that it is not close. After receiving the news of Jiang Qi asking for help, he had two choices: one is to maintain speed, or even stop moving forward, immediately form a formation and wait for battle, and do not give Sun Ce any chance. But in this way, if Sun Ce does not provoke and retreat after defeating Jiang Qi, he can only watch Sun Ce leave; the other is to come at the speed of a marching force, reinforce Jiang Qi, strive to stabilize the situation, and then counterattack, entangle Sun Ce, and use his military strength to solve the battle. As long as Sun Ce's several impacts are blocked, he will have a chance to win when Sun Ce's morale is exhausted.

But he must have thought that Sun Ce was waiting for him. His two most elite guards had not moved yet, and he had a thousand knights hidden in the woods behind him.

Liu Bei turned his head and looked at the woods on the top of the slope. He was frightened when he thought of the thousand knights hidden inside. These knights rested all night, and there was no sign of attacking until now, so he was naturally waiting to give Yuan Tan a fatal blow. Yuan Tan marched for 40 or 50 miles in the middle of the night, and then rushed for several miles. His physical strength had reached its limit and could not stop the assault of the thousand knights who were raising their energy.

But he didn't know that Sun Ce was waiting for him. He might be superstitious about his military strength and wanted to turn the tide and save Jiang Qi from the fire and water.

If it were Yuan Tan, he would definitely do this, and if he did that, what awaited him would be another crushing defeat.

Liu Bei did not look at Sun Ce, and he dared not look at Sun Ce. He couldn't understand why Sun Ce had such a scheming and extremely bravery at such a young age, and he did this almost impossible thing. At this point, he was invincible. The only difference is whether he could wait until Yuan Tan, the big fish, to further expand the results of the battle.

In contrast, the war in Xiaoxian was really insignificant, and he was indeed not worthy of being Sun Ce's opponent.

I actually wanted to steal Yuzhou, and I was really obsessed with it. Liu Bei felt bitter. Yuan Tan was right to regard me as Zhongsi, so I could compete with someone like Cao Bao. I had no chance to meet an opponent like Sun Ce.

Perhaps this defeat was not a bad thing, but God gave me a chance to see his strength clearly and learn something from it. Liu Bei had an idea and secretly glanced at Sun Ce from the corner of his eyes, and his heartbeat couldn't help but rise faster. Yuan Shao's strength was not something he could hope for, but Sun Ce was also a poor family. His father, Sun Jian, was not as good as the Liu family. He could learn more from their father and son.

Isn’t Cao Ang secretly learning from Sun Ce? He can, why can’t I?

Liu Bei rubbed his face with his hands and squeezed out a smile. "General, you must be hungry after fighting all night, right? I saw that Jiang Qi's Houjun had smoke in cooking, so they must have prepared breakfast. Why would I take someone to grab some of them and keep hungry for the general?"

"You..." Sun Ce looked at Liu Bei with a little hesitant look. "Aren't you injured?"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "General, don't worry, general, I'm much better after resting for a night. Although I can't fight with people, there's no problem riding on horses. Now the Yuan army is in chaos and defeat is imminent, so I'll grab some porridge."

"It's okay, it's rare that you have this kind of heart." Sun Ce rubbed his stomach. "I've been eating dry food for a day. If I can drink some hot porridge, it's really good. Don't force it, pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, General, I will pay attention." Liu Bei laughed. "Although I am not as good as the general, I am good at saving my life."

Sun Ce smiled. This is true. In terms of ability to save lives, Liu Bei recognized the second place. No one in the Three Kingdoms dared to recognize the first place. Even the old fox Jia Xu could only stand shoulder to shoulder with him. If he was not sure, he would never volunteer. Jiang Qi was chased by Chen Dao and Zhang Fei as if he was chased like a rabbit. Yuan Jun was about to collapse. It seemed dangerous to go to the backyard to grab breakfast, but it was not impossible.

With Sun Ce's permission, Liu Bei cheered up and came to his subordinates, explained the mission, then climbed onto the war horse, looked into the battlefield, looked at the safest path, and waited for the opportunity to attack.

On the battlefield, Chen Dao and Zhang Fei chased after Jiang Qi, and they were always only a dozen steps away from Jiang Qi, so they didn't even have a chance to turn around. The soldiers who wanted to rush to block the enemy either could not keep up with the pace of the war horses, or were afraid of blocking his way, so they dared not get too close. They could only greet the bow and arrow from afar to delay the pursuit of Bai Li Shi. Unfortunately, after a night of battle, the crossbowman was the primary target of Sun Ce's repeated attacks, and the losses were the heaviest. Although the sporadic arrows injured some Bai Li Shi, they could not solve the fundamental problem. The guards around him were killed by Zhang Fei and Chen Dao one by one. Without the protection of the guards, the messenger was also dead, and the drummer was also dead. Now only the flag soldiers were left behind.

The flag was shaking and the army was about to collapse.

Xin Pi looked at Jiang Qi who could die at any time, and was so anxious that he jumped straight into his foot. He had tried his best to command the soldiers to rescue Jiang Qi, but the effect was not ideal. Chen Dao and others chased him too close, and the soldiers were afraid of hurting Jiang Qi. Although they shouted loudly, they did not dare to take action. Thousands of people in the battalion could only watch the main general being chased. Seeing that the formation was too late, many soldiers rushed forward, trying to stop Chen Dao and Zhang Fei with all their strength, but they were all killed without exception, and no one could block a round.

Yuan Jun, come quickly. If you don’t come again, the army will collapse and Jiang Qi will be dead.

In a blink of an eye, Xinpi saw the knights running from afar and the smoke and dust that rushed into the sky further away. He knew that Yuan Tan was about to arrive and was overjoyed. He was about to ask the messenger to notify the entire army, but suddenly he thought of a question: Didn’t Sun Ce still have a thousand personal guards? Why did he send only these more than a hundred cavalry to pursue? If those thousand people attacked at the same time, Jiang Qi’s army would have collapsed long ago.

No, no, Yuan Tan must not come too fast. If he comes too fast and lacks physical strength, he will not only not be able to save us, but will also be bitten hard by Sun Ce. Sun Ce's target is not Jiang Qi, but Yuan Tan, who came from fifty miles away.
