Troubled times are ruthless, and wars never end.

While Guo Jia planned to defeat Liu Biao, Cao Cao was not idle. After discussing with several masterminds, including Xun You, Chen Gong, and Cheng Yu, he lured Yuan's army out of the city with a false retreat, and finally joined forces with Sun Ce's army to set up ten

He ambushed and killed Yuan's army until it was completely defeated.

It's not that Yuan Shu is frivolous, but that Cao Cao used this trick really cleverly and extremely risky, and he was able to successfully confuse Yuan Shu in the end.

Yuan Shao sent troops.

Cao Cao used all his main force in this battle, and there was almost an empty city in the rear. Because of this, Yuan Shao's army was unstoppable all the way, approaching the city of Xuchang.

Faced with this dangerous situation, almost 99% of monarchs would choose to retreat and return to the defense, but Cao Cao did the opposite.

He first pretended to withdraw his troops, creating the appearance of instability in the rear and the morale of the army, but in fact he secretly laid a dragnet. Yuan Shu led his army to follow him all the way, and after several tests, he finally made up his mind.

Because he knew very well that if Cao Cao's army was allowed to return to Yanzhou intact and he defeated Yuan Shao, it would inevitably come back and be besieged by all sides.

Yuan Shu will be defeated because he still has the ambition to be a hero and wants to conquer the world. He does not want to be controlled by others forever and become Liu Bei's pawn.

Under the setting sun, on the city tower, a tall figure stood upright, facing the setting sun.

Zhou Yu was stunned and felt more and more that something was wrong with Sun Ce, so he asked, "What about Yuzhou?"

On the contrary, after Ji Ling's death, Sun Ce would calm down, put aside his personal grudges and start considering the interests of the Sun family.

If we start a war with Cao Cao at this time, it will only result in a lose-lose outcome for both sides, and in the end, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei will be advantaged in vain.

"Bo Fu." Zhou Yu walked up to Sun Ce and patted his shoulder: "Uncle's revenge has been avenged. What we need to consider now is... what to do next."

Jiangdong and Yuzhou are separated by the mighty Yangtze River. It would be fine if the Sun family had occupied the six counties in Jiangdong, but they have not yet done so.

When he beheaded Ji Ling with his own hands, he had a very long dream in an instant.

Sun Ce smiled calmly: "This is a bunch of rabble waiting for me to destroy them."

Sun Ce therefore concluded that there was something wrong with Liu Bei!

It is foreseeable that the alliance between Cao and Sun will gradually disintegrate and may even evolve into enemies.

Although they occupied four counties and established a firm foothold in Jiangdong, they had not yet completely captured Jiangdong.

When the two met for the first time, there were no outsiders. Even Lu Su didn't know this, which can rule out the possibility that the brothers were taken away by ghosts.

Only then did Zhou Yu feel relieved.

But I heard Sun Ce say again: "First take the whole territory of Jiangdong, then Jingzhou, and then strengthen your troops and horses, recuperate and wait for the opportunity."

"If it were Sun Bofu in the past, he would never give up a state so calmly."

Yuan Shu knew that his defeat was certain, so he made the decision to abandon his chariot to protect his commander, and gave Ji Ling's head to Sun Ce to appease the opponent's anger.

He was not worried about Sun Ce and the Jiangdong Army under his leadership. This young master had a father-like style, and the army he led was also an elite division.

"My lord, Gong Jin." Lu Su came and brought bad news.

It is worth mentioning that Sun Ce's memory lasted until the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, and he saw many things after his death.

This is Ji Ling's head.

"How do you say this?"

Because he knew the temperaments of the Sun family and his son very well. Sun Ce's character was as bloody as his father's. If Ji Ling did not die, Sun Ce would bite him regardless of the consequences.

Zhou Yu suddenly said: "Bo Fu, do you still remember the first words you and I said when we first met?"

Zhou Yu was shocked. Although these words were in line with the strategy he and Lu Su had decided, he still felt that something was not quite right.

After all, the Jiangdong Army suffered heavy casualties in this battle. If certain reports are not obtained, this battle will be a loss-making business.

"Boy, don't be crazy, the little bully is here!"

The Jiangdong nobles united with Shanyue to cause chaos, and the situation was getting out of control little by little. If Sun Ce did not rush back to Jiangdong, his previous efforts would probably be in vain.

He claimed to be a hero all his life, but in the end he died at the hands of a few assassins, ha~

Lu Su was shocked when he heard this, and his facial reaction was exactly the same as Zhou Yu's just now.

Yuzhou is like chicken ribs to them, tasteless to eat and a pity to abandon.

It's just that Cao Cao played this game very cleverly. Faced with Sun Ce, who was responsible for killing his father, no one could persuade him. All Zhou Yu could do was to let him complete his revenge and then persuade him to calm down.

Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu's words and smiled slightly: "Didn't we already make a plan?"

What he was really worried about was that Sun Ce's temperament was too upright, and he would be easily broken if he was too strong!

Sun Ce's laughter almost came out of his mouth.

Sun Ce fell into deep thought after speaking.

Sun Ce smiled lightly and said: "Give it to Cao Cao. With our current situation, we can't compete."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this. According to his understanding, his brother should be boiling with blood at this moment. How could he be so calm?

"Are you still the Sun Bofu I know?" Zhou Yu asked seriously.

Zhou Yu nodded, deeply agreeing, but still wanted to confirm: "Are you really Bo Fu?"

The knot in his heart had been untied, but there were many more things in his mind, which was why he stood motionless on the tower.

He held a blood-stained war sword in his right hand, and held a big head in his left hand. His eyes were still wide open until death, revealing a strong unwillingness.

This is exactly what "the injustice has its owner, and the debt has its owner". It also throws Yuzhou out and makes Cao Cao and Sun Ce fight.

Lu Su nodded, but his face showed he was hesitant to speak.

"Is Zijing worried about my massive military expansion?" Sun Ce seemed to have seen through what Lu Su was thinking, and said with a smile: "No need to worry, I have thought about it during this period. Killing blindly will not solve the problem. This time I will kill someone."

Batch, win over a group of people."

"We have been separated for three days, and we should look at each other with admiration. Besides, you and I both know very well that forcing ourselves to conquer Yuzhou will only make us suffer from enemies from both sides, and in the end it will be difficult to take care of the end."

In fact, he was not in favor of joining forces with Cao Cao, because it was destined to be a losing business.

The most important point is that Liu Bei, who should have been wandering for half his life in his previous life, has become the largest prince in the world in this life.

What he saw and heard in the dream taught him a lot of truths. After sighing with emotion, he realized that there are only eternal interests between countries and must not be mixed with personal grudges.

The scene in the dream and the experience were roughly the same as in life, until everything changed after the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago.

"Guaranteed replacement if fake."

Seeing this, Lu Su asked tentatively: "My lord, Gong Jin, what happened?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Our lord is different from before. Great things can be expected!"

Lu Su was still confused.

Sun Ce's face was solemn: "It's a step too late after all."
