The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 687

Runan.

After learning the news that Wancheng was besieged, Sun Ce did not go to the rescue immediately, but was a little hesitant.

It's not that Sun Ce is cowardly, but he understands that he only has [-] to [-] troops under his command, even if he goes all-in, it won't help. Not only will he not be able to save Yuan Shu, but he will have to pay for it himself.

Compared with Cao Cao, Sun Ce was still young, with unfulfilled ambitions, and unrevenged vengeance on his body, how could he be willing to be buried with Yuan Shu?
But keeping Runan trapped is not the solution after all.

Just when Sun Ce was at his wit's end, Zhou Yu walked in.

"Gongjin, what should we do now?"

The two love each other as brothers, and Sun Ce never hides his emotions in front of Zhou Yu.

But at this time, Zhou Yu's condition was not very good.

Since the start of the war, they have been in decline. Zhou Yu racked his brains, but he couldn't think of any way to win. He was so worried that he seemed to be several years old.

Not only is his face haggard, but even his hair is messed up, there is no trace of the so-called Mei Zhourou.

"For the present plan, if you are unwilling to rescue Yuan Gonglu, Bofu, we should find another way out." Zhou Yu analyzed the situation and said, "Now that Liu Xuande is powerful, although we can't match him, we can't sit still. Anyway, Anyway, we can't stay in Runan, otherwise if Yuan Shu is defeated, we will be fish on the chopping board."

Runan is Yuan Shu's lair, and there are many aristocratic families here. Even if Yuan Shu is defeated, these people will not look down on Sun Ce, and most of them will surrender directly.

Instead of this, it is better to give up this place directly.

"Find another way, where to go?" Sun Ce asked.

Zhou Yu smiled wryly, "Go back to Jiangdong."

At this time, Yangzhou was undeveloped, so it was naturally not as rich as the Central Plains, but because of this, Yangzhou, with its complex terrain, was a good place to avoid disaster temporarily.

"Right now, that's all there is to it."

After thinking for a moment, Sun Ce nodded in agreement.

"Since we plan to return to Jiangdong, it's better sooner rather than later. While the enemy army is still besieging Wancheng, we should just go south. Otherwise, when Yuan Gonglu is defeated, it will be difficult for us to leave even if we want to."

"That's right, that's the reason. But before I leave... I need to make some preparations."

Having said that, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Sun Ce's mouth.

And the so-called preparation he said was actually... Robbery.

Going to Jiangdong now, it is very likely that he will never be able to set foot in the Central Plains again in this life. If he doesn't vote for him before leaving, he will feel sorry for himself.

In Runan County, there are all aristocratic families, and they are all a group of people who are farting in the crotch of their pants. Isn't it reasonable to ask them to borrow some money.

Now that Yuan Shu's defeat is a foregone conclusion, there is no need for Sun Ce to exercise restraint and directly send troops to burn, kill and loot in Runan County.

Due to time constraints, Sun Ce directly reached out to the richest family, so that he could accumulate money as quickly as possible.

In contrast, this turmoil, which can be called the tragedy of the family in Runan County, did not sink.The common people had no long possessions, but they were lucky enough to escape unharmed.

At the end of July in the first year of Tianming, after looting a lot of property, Sun Ce directly led his army south, crossed the river, returned to Yangzhou, and adopted a defensive posture.

After hearing the news, Xu Huang and Tai Shici immediately led the army to advance, and while recovering Runan County, they also saw the group of poor families who had been looted by Sun Ce.

But what awaited them was not a good end.

Although Sun Ce searched hard, he didn't kill many people after all.

Xu Huang and Tai Shici were different. As soon as they entered the city, they arrested a group of aristocratic families and even executed some of them publicly.

The reason is simple, these people are traitors.

The battle between Xuzhou and Yuan Shao in the past can be regarded as a battle between princes.

At that time, Yuan Shao was the Hussar General of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei was also a Taiwei. No matter how the two sides attacked, they both recognized themselves as Han subjects.

Even if Yuan Shao is defeated, his subordinates can switch to another army or retire to protect themselves.

Cao Cao died in battle, but he was a self-proclaimed Hanchen all his life, so he was able to be decent.

But Yuan Shu is different.

The most crucial point is that from the moment Yuan Shu assumed the title of king, he was not a courtier of the great man, but a traitor.

The same rebels as Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju back then!

And Liu Bei has proclaimed himself emperor, and has legal orthodoxy, but anyone who refuses to submit can be labeled as a rebel.

Xuzhou has always treated the captives kindly, but not the rebels.

As for this group of aristocratic families, not only did they not persuade them, but they became high-ranking officials after Yuan Shu became king, so they must be accused of being a thief.

This was the tone that had been set before the war started.

Naturally, there is nothing to be polite to such a person.

Therefore, Xu Huang and Tai Shici raised their butcher knives in Runan and wiped out the last wave of aristocratic families who dared to resist the new government policy.

At this point, Runan County was reintroduced into the territory of the imperial court.

As for Yuan Shu's three reinforcements, only Lu Bu's was left, and they were still huddled in Xiping County, not knowing what they wanted to do.

……

Wancheng.

Today's Nanyang is no longer the prosperous scene of the former southern capital of the empire.

During the siege in March, the city had already run out of food, and the people were too busy to take care of themselves.

There is still a mountain of grain and grass in the treasury, which Yuan Shu scavenged from the homes of the common people and prepared to transport them to the front line, but it is a pity that they are useless now.

The bad life is still going on, Yuan Shu is addicted to drinking and sex every day, or just holding the Jade Seal of Chuanguo and looking at it quietly, not mentioning the war outside the city at all.

And when he learned that Cao Cao committed suicide, he became more and more desperate, and he simply broke the jar, never wanting to pay attention to this uncomfortable battle situation.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the officials in the city not to have other thoughts.

For example, Shi Zhangzhao, the head of the palace, who was a figure of the elder brother, advised Yuan Shu several times to surrender to the imperial army outside the city.

It's a pity that although Yuan Shu's ears are soft, his methods are not soft.

Even though he had fallen to this point, his noble background and the poor self-esteem in his heart did not allow him to surrender.

Yuan Shu understood that from the day Liu Bei Jianzuo ascended the throne, he, a man who presumptuously claimed the title of king, had no way out.

Either Liu Bei died, or he Yuan Gonglu died.

As an orthodox descendant of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei would certainly not allow an overreacher to surrender.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao's idea of ​​persuading surrender was not adopted, but instead became a gap for Yuan Shu to vent his anger, and he was about to be dragged down and beheaded on the spot.

Thanks to everyone's persuasion, Zhang Zhao saved his life, but he was still beaten for a hundred and dismissed from office.

Seeing Zhang Zhao's end like this, the ministers dared not mention the matter of surrender again on the surface, but secretly began to quietly initiate relations, trying to get in touch with Guan Yu's army outside the city.

Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.

Even husband and wife are like this, let alone monarchs and ministers?
When Yuan Shu was in his prime, these people gathered under the banner of the Four Generations and Three Dukes to jointly grab benefits and eat the cake.

When Yuan Shu was in decline, these people only wanted to get out as soon as possible, so as not to overturn with Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu may be aware of this situation. After all, the [-] troops in Wancheng are all his direct troops, and they receive the best treatment. They are still loyal to him.

But even if he knew, Yuan Shu didn't want to care about it.

The general situation is over, let's muddle through, let him alone...

When the enemy broke through the city one day and entered, I would be the same as the concubine's house slave and Cao Mengde, and I would kill myself and die.

But even if it is death, this Chuanguo Yuxi can't be cheap for Liu Bei, and he will simply burn both jade and stone!
Yuan Shu looked at Yuxi with one hand, and put his arm around Feng Shi with the other, thinking in his heart.

At this moment, the Feng family also behaved extremely docile, trying their best to satisfy any absurd demands of Yuan Shu.

It can't be otherwise, because in recent days, Yuan Shu's character has become more moody, even cruel.

Just yesterday, a concubine in the harem contradicted Yuan Shu, not only did not welcome Yuan Shu to coax him with sweet words, but was directly dragged out and chopped into meat.

That concubine is usually favored, but she never thought that this coquettish act would cost her own life.

However, it doesn't take long.

Because Feng's plan to do it today.

"My lord, let's drink another bottle, and I will sing and dance for you later!"

Feng raised a glass of wine, Jiao Didi smiled.

As a member of Feng Mingwei, Feng Shi is naturally good at entertaining people, otherwise it would be impossible to get Yuan Shu's long-term favor.

"Okay, Gu likes to watch Aifei dance the most!"

Yuan Shu laughed loudly, drank the wine, and ordered Feng to dance.

Feng quickly agreed, and then danced in the hall.

The graceful figure coupled with the charming expression, and the occasional eye contact made the dance more alluring, making Yuan Shu's mouth dry and tongue dry, as if a fire was rising in his stomach.

There is a beautiful woman in front of you, and there is good wine next to you. If you are not at the end of your life, you should really enjoy the beauty of such a good time.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu suddenly felt dull and continued to drink.

After a while, after Feng's dance, he came up again and poured wine for Yuan Shu.

At this time, Yuan Shu was already drunk and even lost his mind.

"Your Majesty, have another drink, and let's go to the inner house to rest."

Feng put his face close to Yuan Shu's ear, and whispered, the heat from Kazakhstan made Yuan Shu's heart flutter, and the fire of desire in his chest burned again.

"What Concubine Ai said is very true!"

Yuan Shu drank the wine very boldly, finally stood up, and went to the back house with Feng's support.

After the ups and downs, Yuan Shu was completely exhausted, lying on the bed in a daze, he didn't even want to move his fingers.

But Feng stood up suddenly, his eyes became sharp, and when Yuan Shu was in a daze, he directly took out the packet of medicine powder that Guo Jia gave him and poured it into the water.

After stirring evenly, Feng brought it to the bedside.

"My lord, drink a bowl of hangover soup before going to bed."

Feng's voice was as normal as usual, and it was better to hear the slightest wave.

At this time, Yuan Shu also had no ability to distinguish things. After hearing this familiar voice, he opened his mouth.

After drinking a bowl of water, Yuan Shu clicked his mouth twice, and said in a daze:
"Aifei... this sober soup... tastes a bit strange..."

Before finishing speaking, he fell asleep.

It's just that after falling asleep, there is no time to wake up again.

Feng Shi stood up and looked at Yuan Shu who was lying on the bed with a pair of beautiful eyes. Seeing that Yuan Shu had really fallen asleep, he began to put on his clothes.

After putting on his clothes, Yuan Shu's breathing on the bed became weaker and weaker.

At the same time, Feng's heartbeat became faster and faster, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

After half an hour, Yuan Shu finally lost his breath.

Feng's mood also completely calmed down.

Yuan Shu died, by his own hands.

A generation of heroes died in the hands of his own wife just like that...

Feng Shi suddenly felt as absurd as dreaming, but extremely real.

Mission accomplished, it's time to think about yourself.

Even though his mood hadn't calmed down yet, Feng Shi started to act immediately.

She looked at the hand of Yuan Shu's corpse, but there was a four-inch seal, which was the Jade Seal of Heirloom, which symbolized the destiny of heaven!
Yuan Shu loves this thing very much, he held it in his hands for a long time and played with it, even when he was having fun with Feng Shi just now, he put this thing by his bedside, but now it happened to be cheap for Feng Shi.

If you take this thing out, the credit will be no less than killing Yuan Shu!

Feng's eyes moved, and he had already made up his mind.

It's just such a sacred thing, Feng naturally didn't dare to neglect it, went up to hold it in his hand, wanted to find a box to store it, but felt that carrying a box would be easy to be noticed by others.

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Shi gritted his teeth, and simply put the jade seal on his chest, and kept it next to his body.

Then, as usual, she opened the door and walked out.

"Your Majesty is tired and sleeping soundly. You must not go in and disturb him, otherwise..."

Feng's vermilion lips parted slightly, her voice was as charming as usual, but the content of her words terrified the people guarding the door.

After all, these days, dozens of servants were executed for offending Yuan Shu.

"As ordered!"

The two servants quickly bowed their heads in response.

Feng Shi nodded, and Shi Shiran walked out.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Feng appeared in the north of the city and told Pang De who was waiting here that Yuan Shu had died.

"You really killed Yuan Shu?"

Pang De was overjoyed when he heard the words, but hurriedly asked another question.

"Naturally, the servants dare not lie about such a big matter. If the Fu Cheng doesn't believe it, he will know in two days."

Pang De quickly comforted: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just to make sure."

A mere spy of Fengmingwei naturally didn't deserve such treatment from Pang De.

But a hero who killed Yuan Shu can't be too polite, it has nothing to do with gender.

Feng patted his chest lightly, but he didn't dare to tell Pang De about passing on the imperial jade seal, he just asked: "Fu Cheng, dare to ask where the government order is, I have something important to see."

"The government order will naturally meet you, but not now." Pang De shook his head and said, "When the news of Yuan Shu's death comes out, the government order will definitely ask you for details."

The assassination of Yuan Shu is a major event, and Pang De is still not sure whether Feng's statement is true or not.In case she not only failed to assassinate Yuan Shu, but was used as a bait instead, then the fun would be great.

Therefore, before Pang De confirmed Yuan Shu's death, it was absolutely impossible for Feng Shi to see Guo Jia.

Hearing this, Feng Shi nodded, expressing his understanding.

It's just that the matter of presenting the Jade Seal of the Kingdom will be postponed for a while.

Afterwards, Pang De sent people to investigate outside, and after confirming that no one was following him, he took Feng's family and evacuated to the north of the city. After going around the city, they came to another remote place.

Guo Jia stayed in the city for a month before, seemingly doing nothing, but he had already prepared a way out.

The cunning rabbit and the three caves, this is an essential survival skill.
