I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 361, the tree fell and the hozen scattered
But Yuan Shu didn't want to do that. Since the establishment of the Kwantung Allied Forces, he had been a tyrant for several years. This kind of life without the court's control was too comfortable. He could do whatever he wanted, and no one cared about him at all.

But now that he wants to surrender to the imperial court, the army in his hands will definitely be taken away by the imperial court, and he will no longer be able to lead troops to fight. Instead, he will sit in the court hall like a mud bodhisattva, and even his rights will be completely deprived!

At this time, a young general shouted: "We still have [-] troops, and we still don't know how we will win or lose. Why are you talking about defeat now!"

Yuan Shu laughed loudly when he heard this, "Bo Fu is worthy of being the eldest son of Wentai, he really has the demeanor of a general!"

But when Ji Ling and the others heard this, their faces darkened. No one seemed to be fighting anymore. After all, no one wanted to fight a losing battle, so they all glared at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was not afraid of them, but said with great interest: "My lord, if you trust the general, please give the general the army, and the general will make it difficult for Liu Bei to advance!"

Yuan Shu was overjoyed, and named Sun Ce the general of Zhenwei Zhonglang, and let him lead 1 soldiers to sit in Hefei!
Sun Ce rejoiced and said, "It's just that Ce can avenge my father!"

Yang Hong looked puzzled at Sun Ce who was leaving and asked, "Liu Bei is a famous general in all battles. My lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Sun Ce to resist Liu Bei?"

Ji Ling mocked: "Sun Ce is just a brat with a bit of force, how could he be Liu Bei's opponent!"

Yuan Shu looked at his confidants and taunted him, "If you were more effective, I wouldn't use Bofu to resist Liu Bei!"

Yuan Shu is very clear about the thoughts of his subordinates. If he really wants to hand over the army in his hands to them now, he is afraid that they will turn around and surrender to his elder brother Yuan Ji. The foreign general!
Xun Zheng said embarrassingly: "My lord, we are doing this for your own good. Even if we can find a slight chance of winning, we will continue to resist, but now we don't support us at the beginning. With our strength, we are not Liu Bei's opponent at all! Now we surrender to the eldest son , This is also transferring the power of the Yuan family to the eldest son Sheng, everyone is from the Yuan family, so we are not considered a failure!"

Yan Xiang smiled awkwardly: "That's right! They are all members of the Yuan Clan, so we are not considered defeated!"

Yuan Shu looked at his confidant and said, "I want to gamble again!"

Ji Ling smiled wryly and said, "My lord, you need capital to fight, but we have no capital now! My lord, I want to bet and admit defeat!"

Yuan Shu said unconvinced: "I haven't completely lost, I still have 4 troops in my hands! The rainy season between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River is from May to July, that is to say, it is very difficult to fight during these two months. As long as we can Resist Liu Bei's army for 5 months, the autumn harvest is coming, Lei Gong will have food, and Lei Gong's iron cavalry will go south to the Central Plains, Liu Bei will go to support Yuan Shao, there is no time to pay attention to us! Is my 7 army Can't even resist Liu Bei and the others for three months?"

"Lei Gong!" Yuan Shu's subordinates really didn't think of this, after all Lei Gong is too far away from them!But judging from the situation in the past two years, it is not wrong. In the battle of Youzhou, Lei Gong was launched after the autumn harvest, and the battle of Jizhou was also launched after the autumn harvest.

Lei Gong's military strength is invincible in the world. This is recognized by the world. The only thing that restricts him is food and grass. Jizhou was occupied by Lei Gong for only a few months, and he couldn't collect much food and grass. But after this autumn harvest, food will no longer be a problem , it is really possible for Lei Gong to go south to the Central Plains!

But what Yuan Shu said made them even more worried. The people who followed Yuan Shu were all the children of the most powerful noble families in the Han Dynasty. The war between them and Liu Bei was just a contradiction within the Han Dynasty. It is said that Liu Bei still has Yuan Ji by his side.

But if Lei Gong hits Zhongyuan, the big man will be completely beaten to death, and their families will also be strangled by Lei Gong. You must know that the noble families in the three states of Hebei have been completely handed over, tens of thousands of noble families have been killed by Lei Gong Yi Kong, for Yan Xiang and the others, Lei Gong is the biggest demon's real enemy!
So when Yuan Shu expressed his thoughts, Yang Hong immediately said: "My lord, you can't contact Lei Gong. You are digging your own way. Even if we lose to Liu Bei, we are still a powerful family of the Han Dynasty. But if Lei Gong occupies the Central Plains, Our family is finished, the foundation of the Yuan family is in Yuzhou, as long as Yuzhou is under Lei Gong's army, does the lord want his own family to be the same as the Cui family?"

Yan Xiang continued: "The Cui family used to have several thousand clansmen in Jizhou, but now only a few dozen people have fled to Jingzhou. The Cui family's disciples and old officials in Jizhou were completely destroyed by Lei Gong. The Cui family, the first-class family of the big man, is like this I'm afraid that after Taiwei Cui dies of illness, the Cui family will fall into a poor family! My lord's family is in Runan, if Runan is occupied by Lei Gong, the Yuan family may also suffer the fate of the Cui family. Could it be that my lord I want to destroy the Yuan family!"

For the noble families of the big Han, the local disciples and old officials are the most important resources. Without them, the Cui family would not even be considered powerful.

Yuan Shu sneered and said: "Now Yanzhou is Yuan Shao's territory, as long as he resists Lei Gong, the Yuan family will naturally not suffer any disaster, if he fails, what does it have to do with me, now the Yuan family is in Yuan Shao's territory superior!"

Yuan Shu now has a feeling that I will care about him after he dies!After all, he also has grievances against the elders of the Yuan family. If they hadn't helped Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would not have easily dismissed him in Yuzhou, so that the hegemonic career he planned was in vain!
Yuan Shu said coldly: "Shoot all the army in Shouchun, I just want to see if Cao Cao and the others have the ability to conquer Shouchun within half a year, Liu Bei, Cao Cao won't make me feel better, I will drag Liu Bei and Cao Cao and the others are going to hell!"

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he left the hall!

This made Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Xun Zheng, Ji Ling, and others all fooled!Yuan Shu wanted to die with Liu Bei and the others, but they didn't want to!

Yang Hong said in the novel: "The lord has become impulsive again, we can't watch the lord continue to make mistakes like this!"

Ji Ling said helplessly: "What can we do? It's not the first time that my lord has acted impulsively. I didn't expect him to make such a big deal this time that even the Yuan family doesn't care!"

Yan Xiang said anxiously: "In the past, it was okay to be impulsive, but this time it is too dangerous. Lei Gong really captured the Central Plains, and our family will perish!"

Yan Xiang and the others are all descendants of powerful families, and Lei Gong is their natural enemy!They took refuge in Yuan Shu because they wanted to glorify their ancestors, not because they wanted to destroy their families.

Xun Zheng said solemnly: "We can't watch the lord make mistakes again and again. I'll contact the eldest son and find a way to end this war that shouldn't have happened as soon as possible, so that the court can deal with the war with Lei Gong as soon as possible!"

Obviously this round of Yuan Shu touched the bottom line of his confidantes, they discussed and decided to sell Yuan Shu in order to protect their family!

At the same time, Sun Ce vigorously led the generals and [-] troops left by Sun Jian to set off from Shouchun!

Since Sun Ce's father was killed in battle, he has been serving as a personal guard by Yuan Shu's side, and Yuan Shu taught him how to lead troops in battle!This is the first time he can lead so many troops.

But not long after Sun Ce led the army to set off, Zhou Yu led several servants to catch up with Sun Ce's army.

Zhou Yu is only eighteen years old, tall and handsome, with a refined temperament, completely dressed like a celebrity!But he happened to be congenial with Sun Ce, and the two became very close!
Seeing Zhou Yu, Sun Ce hurriedly got off his horse and laughed, "Gong Jin, it's time to make your brother famous in the world. As long as you defeat Liu Bei, you will not only avenge your father, but also make your name famous all over the world! Just wait for the news of my victory." !"

Zhou Yu was born in a noble family, and his family is well-known in Yangzhou.The cursing father Zhou Jing and the uncle Zhou Zhong both served as Taiwei in this dynasty.When his great-grandfather, Zhou Jing, served as governor of Yuzhou, Chen Fan, the former Taishen, was his second driver.Although the Zhou family is not considered the top noble family in the Han Dynasty, it is also a first-class noble family in Yangzhou!So he knows more about this war!

He said helplessly: "Brother Bofu, why did you rush out at this time? Don't you know that Yuan Shu's defeat is already doomed, and you are leading the army now to be buried with Yuan Shu!"

Sun Ce said disapprovingly, "Others are afraid of Liu Bei, but I am not. I will be crucified in Hefei, making it difficult for Liu Bei to move forward!"

But Zhou Yu said helplessly: "Yuan Shu has been in Yangzhou for more than a year. It can be said that the sky is angry and people complain. In order to compete with Yuan Shao for Yuzhou, he took the whole Yangzhou to a height of three feet! Now that Liu Bei is attacking Yuan Shu, the whole family of Yangzhou is applauding. Everyone We are all waiting to see how Yuan Shu dies, do you think Bo Fu can help Yuan Shu defend Hefei under such circumstances?"

Sun Ce was surprised and said, "Impossible? Uncle is a descendant of the Yuan Clan after all. Could it be that the noble families in Yangzhou don't even give the Yuan family face?"

But Zhou Yu said: "Yuan Shu didn't give Yangzhou aristocrats face. During his one-year stay in Yangzhou, he reduced the population of Jiujiang County and Lujiang County by half, and threatened the local aristocrats to send troops and food to support him. Under such circumstances, how could Yuan Shu win the hearts of the people! So when Liu Bei's army came, it easily occupied Lujiang County, and you can see that when Liu Bei enters Jiujiang County, it must be a matter of publicity!"

"I just want to ask Brother Bofu, do you plan to follow Yuan Shu to the dark!" Zhou Yu stared at Sun Ce solemnly, and asked word by word: "If you want to continue to help Yuan Shu help the evil, then my little brother If you haven't been here before, if you still want to display your ambitions and make contributions, you must cut off contact with Yuan Shu now!"

Sun Ce didn't have any preparations. He didn't expect Zhou Yu to let him make such a choice!Although Yuan Shu has many faults, he treats his own people very well. When Sun Jian helped him fight Yuzhou and died in battle, Yuan Shu always felt that he was indebted to the Sun family. He always taught Sun Ce to his nephews. It can be said that Yuan Shu He was very kind to Sun Ce, which made him unwilling to betray Yuan Shu!
Sun Ce thought for a while and said, "A man does something and doesn't. Although Yuan Shu is sorry for the people of Yangzhou, he is worthy of me, Sun Ce. I have no reason to betray him!"

Then Sun Ce saluted Zhou Yu and said, "If I really die in battle, please ask Gong Jin to take care of my siblings and mother!"

Zhou Yu was very helpless looking at the stubborn Sun Ce, but at the same time, it was precisely because of Sun Ce's quality that he befriended him!

Zhou Yu said: "It's not that you do something or don't do it, but you are looking for death! Liu Bei has experienced many battles, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others under his command are the most powerful generals among the ten thousand armies. There is a celebrity like Yuan Ji beside him, he is Yuan Shu's big brother, once your army goes to Hefei, you may be turned against by Yuan Ji, why are you looking for death?"

Sun Ce asked in surprise, "Why doesn't uncle's elder brother help uncle?"

Zhou Yu later told Sun Ce about the relationship between Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu. When he heard that Yuan Ji almost thought that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's coalition forces had been killed by Dong Zhuo, he understood why Yuan Ji wanted to help Liu Bei!
Zhou Yu persuaded, "Even Yuan Shu's elder brother doesn't help him anymore. Why are you an outsider so excited? For Yuan's disciples and old officials, Yuan Shu has no future. It is a good way out to seek refuge with Yuan Ji. If you really agree with Liu Bei Fighting to the death, evil Liu Bei, this is blocking the future of the Yuan family's former officials, and it may not be a good thing for Yuan Shu!"

"Liu Bei didn't suffer much casualties. For Yuan Ji's sake, he won't do anything with Yuan Shu, but if you cause Liu Bei heavy casualties in Hefei, even if Liu Bei wants to explain to his subordinates, he won't be able to let Yuan Shu go easily! You This is not helping Yuan Shu but harming Yuan Shu!"

Helping Yuan Shu in the battle is actually harming Yuan Shu. Sun Ce was confused by the twists and turns, and didn't know what to do for a while?

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said: "The younger brother will go to Hefei with the elder brother. It is very simple that the elder brother is unwilling to betray Yuan Shu. This time there are four princes attacking Yuan Shu. Even if we can resist Liu Bei, it is difficult for Yuan Shu to resist the other three. With the encirclement and suppression by the Lu princes, I am afraid that Yuan Shu will surrender earlier than you, Brother Bo Fu, and you will not be considered as betraying Yuan Shu by then!"

Sun Ce laughed excitedly when he heard Zhou Yu's words: "That's good. Our two brothers join forces to fight the world. Why are Liu Guan and Zhang Tongtong not our brothers' opponents? If there is a plan, we will go to Hebei to meet the legendary Lei Gong! Look at him Is it really that powerful!"

When Zhou Yu heard Lei Gong's name, he said with a serious expression: "Lei Gong should not be taken lightly. There are dozens of generals who died in Lei Gong's hands. Even the famous general Huangfu Song died in Lei Gong's hands. He can be said to be the most rebellious man in the world. Boss!" Fu can't underestimate him! "

Sun Ce laughed and said, "Brother didn't despise him. After all, the big man's hundreds of thousands of troops will not be wiped out by him. Who would dare to underestimate Lei Gong? I'm just curious about Lei Gong. The big man has so many rebellions. Why is he the only one who grows stronger as he fights? , Now even the big man can't suppress it! None of the generals that Brother Wei met is not afraid of Lei Gong, such a powerful enemy, Brother Wei naturally wants to fight!"

Zhou Yu smiled wryly: "There will be a chance. After this battle, Bo Fu may encounter Lei Gong!"
