Chapter 225 Punishment!
Shouchun City,
As the news of Chu Feng's defeat spread, it can be said that the people in the city were panicked, and countless families began to prepare supplies and prepare to flee with Chu Feng.

There are also many aristocratic families who have already found an excuse and are ready to cater to Cao Cao's rule in Shouchun, but they take advantage of the situation to vote for Cao Cao's rule.
He is still the prince in the world second only to Yuan Shao!

Taking refuge in Cao Cao, they might become ministers of the dragon in the future. Once Cao Cao ruled the world, it would be easy for them to appoint and worship generals. It was much better than following Chu Feng this time.

And inside the city, there was chaos.

Because the Chu army's defeat abroad really affected the morale of the army, so much so that Chu Feng personally visited the camp, pretending to appease the morale of the army, and as for the plan, all the plans were carried out quietly.

----

Northwest of Shouchun, Sun Jun camp.

Sun Ce now has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom are Jiangdong elites. Cao Cao did not give him military power before, just to check and balance Chu Feng.

This time, he strangled his throat first.

At this time, inside Sun Jun's big tent.

Sun Ce returned quickly after hearing the news, opened the curtain and saw the details he had placed in the tent, and immediately asked, "Why are you so reckless? But there has been a change in Shouchun?"

"My lord, Shouchun has undergone tremendous changes."

"Chu Feng has returned, and he was defeated by Cao Cao's ambush. When he returned, he only led a few riders, and all his armor was stained with blood. It was obviously caused by the charge."

Seizaku said eagerly.

"What did you say? Chu Feng was defeated by Cao Cao?" Sun Ce was taken aback, and said in disbelief, "How is this possible? Cao Cao didn't write to tell me that he would set up an ambush!"

Sun Ce was a little puzzled, with a puzzled face.

"My lord, could it be that Cao Cao made a temporary decision to set up an ambush, and he didn't know if it would succeed, so he didn't tell. It is possible that the messenger is already on the way!"

Beside, Huang Gai clasped his fists and said.

Hearing this, Sun Ce nodded his head as approval, and was a little excited immediately. He looked at Xizuo and asked, "Then, is Chu Feng planning to stick to Shouchun?"

"Returning to my lord, Chu Feng has already ordered that all civil and military officials in the city withdraw their troops at five o'clock tonight, withdraw from Jiangbei, and retreat to Jiangnan."

"It seems that he is extremely anxious. I am afraid that Cao Cao is not far from here, and he is worried about being trapped in Shouchun!" Xi Zuo also said excitedly.

"Withdraw the troops tonight?" Zhou Yu answered hesitantly.

"Haha, Chu Feng's tens of thousands of troops were wiped out by Cao Cao. I am afraid that he is already afraid. It is not impossible to withdraw his troops overnight. It seems that the opportunity for this battle has arrived!"

Sun Ce held his saber and smiled excitedly.

Finally, he can take revenge, the revenge of taking his wife, the hatred of killing his younger brother, and beheading so many generals of himself, and beheading the whole family of the Sun family, how could he not be angry.

Today, the opportunity finally arrived.

He can finally kill the enemy with his hands, cool!
"Chu Feng, I will definitely tear your body into tens of thousands of pieces in honor of my grandson's heroic spirit in heaven." Sun Ce clenched his fists and murmured in his heart.

"My lord, the last will fight!"

"My lord, Huang Gai is willing to be the first to ascend!"

"My lord, I will defeat the enemy tonight. I will definitely kill Chu Feng and avenge my brother who died in battle!"

All of a sudden, all the generals spoke out heartily, how excited they were, Chu Feng was already a troubled man this time, and he could win in one battle.

"My lord, are you too anxious?" Zhou Yu asked with a frown.

"The battle opportunity is right in front of us. How could Chu Feng's words be false?" Sun Ce was unwilling to admit that it was false, and at the same time, it was unlikely to be true.

"My lord, even though that's the case, that Chu Feng is so deceitful, and now he is so anxious to withdraw his troops, it is very likely that he wants to lure the lord to fight."

Zhou Yu frowned and said solemnly.

It wasn't that he didn't believe that Chu Feng was really defeated, but that he was worried that Chu Feng was using tricks again. After all, this person was good at attacking his mind and cast a psychological shadow on him.

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce seemed to have been splashed with cold water. Although he was a little annoyed, it was undeniable that this was possible. After all, Chu Feng was already synonymous with cunning.

"Then what should we do now? We can't just watch Chu Feng slip away from under our noses, can we?" Sun Ce said unwillingly.

After all, he kept the hatred of the Tu clan in his heart.

"General Zhou, aren't you scared out of your wits by Chu Feng? Even if he uses tricks, is it possible that he can stay and wait for me?" Huang Gai was a little annoyed, angrily scolded.

"That's right, Chu Feng is an ordinary person, why should he be afraid? The big deal is that we should be more careful." Han Dang also spread his hands and said, he was also angry with Chu Feng.

His wife and children are still in Chu Feng's hands,

Now that life and death are unknown, how can he not be angry?

Two veterans spoke up, and all the generals called for a fight. Didn't they leave their homes to kill Chu Feng one day, but now that the opportunity came, they didn't dare to grasp it.

"This..." Zhou Yu was helpless.

His Zhou Yu's relatives were also controlled by Chu Feng, and he also felt uncomfortable, but fighting is not a child's play. It always feels weird for someone as shrewd as Chu Feng to announce his withdrawal.

Unless he was really beaten up by Cao Cao!
"Gong Jin, what the generals said is not unreasonable. The soldiers and horses in Shouchun City are comparable to ours. Even if it is designed, we can still retreat unscathed."

"Besides, we need to be more careful this time." Sun Ce said softly.

He has his own arrogance, Chu Feng has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he is by no means weaker than him, so why should he be afraid?If you don't even dare to chase after me, what else can you do?

Seeing that the kindness was hard to come by, Zhou Yu hesitated and said, "My lord, it might as well be like this, arrange people to prepare for ambushes, but before that, let me observe the movements of the Chu army for a while, okay?"

Zhou Yu is confident that as long as he sees the retreat of the Chu army, he can tell whether it is true or false, and it would be better to wait for the opportunity to move at that time.

"Of course!" Sun Ce was overjoyed when Zhou Yu agreed.

"In this way, first arrange someone to report the news of this place to Cao Cao, and check the news of Cao Jun by the way. At the same time, leave one to guard the camp,"

"In addition, send another general to lead the troops to attack Shouchun, and you, my lord, will lead the troops to attack the Chu army. When the time comes, if you really withdraw from both directions, you will definitely be able to break the enemy."

Zhou Yu said solemnly.

"Haha, very good, I have Zhou Gongjin, why should I be afraid of him, Chu Feng?" Sun Ce laughed heartily, looked around at Sun Jing and said, "Uncle, stay in the camp with three thousand soldiers and horses!"

"En!" Sun Jing nodded.

"Cheng Pu, Han Dang listens to the order. You two are veterans in the army, quite prestigious, and led five thousand troops to attack Shouchun. I must take it overnight!"

Sun Ce looked at the two and said solemnly.

"No!" The two men echoed.

Sun Ce looked around at Huang Gai, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai, and immediately said: "The rest of the generals will follow me to attack Chu Feng. This battle must hit the Chu army hard!"

"No!" All the generals responded in unison.

Sun Ce knew that only by severely injuring Chu Feng in this battle, could he take the opportunity to go south, and then kill Chu Feng, so as to avenge his Sun family.

"Okay, let's all go down and get ready. Make sure the soldiers of the three armies get ready. It depends on the battle tonight." Sun Ce urged again.

After speaking, everyone retreated.

Looking at the bright sun in the sky, Zhou Yu was inexplicably agitated. The main reason was that he was too anxious. There were only a few hours left until the fifth watch, so he didn't have time to prepare too much.

"Eh!"

Sighing, he called a few more scouts to Shouchun to investigate. He had to take precautions, because he always felt that it was too abrupt and unrealistic.

After all, it was only a few hours, obviously because he didn't want Sun Ce to prepare too much, which would inevitably make people suspicious.

However, this investigation also dispelled Zhou Yu's doubts, because the results of the investigation showed that the Chu army was indeed preparing to withdraw.

----

On the other side, inside a mansion.

Gu Yong covered his face, looked at the many families who had already arrived, and then showed his face.

"Brother Gu, you've come. Now that Chu Feng has been defeated, and he's about to retreat right now, what should you say?" Someone asked hastily.

For a moment, everyone's eyes focused on the past.

Gu Yong frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You can make your own decision, but this time Chu Feng was defeated, and Cao Cao took Xuzhou to sit on the land of the four states."

"I'm afraid Cao Cao will take the opportunity to invade Jiangnan. Chu Feng is already in trouble. My Gu family is planning to evade and welcome Cao Cao's arrival in Shouchun."

"Welcome Cao Cao? But most of my foundations are in the south. If Cao Cao doesn't go south, what will Chu Feng do in revenge?" Someone hesitated.

"Retaliation? Chu Feng also has to have the guts, not to mention Chu Feng, even the former emperor would not dare to intervene too much in local affairs." Gu Yong snorted coldly.

"Brother Gu is right. If Chu Feng is not successful, it is better to cater to Cao Gong. Cao Gong coerced the emperor to command the princes, and he recruited talented people is indeed a wise master."

"That's right, Duke Cao has a million armors, and this battle has hit Chu Feng hard, and Duke Cao will occupy half of the world." Some people also catered to him.

Obviously, the aristocratic family pays more attention to their own interests.

You know, although Chu Feng was born in the Yuan family, he didn't do them much good. Maybe it would be better to take refuge in Cao Cao, and there is no need to retreat.

"Haha, then we all have excuses not to go."

These people all laughed and laughed a little more.

----

In a blink of an eye, it's night.

In the Chu residence, Chu Feng was having dinner.

Looking at the silent night outside, the corners of Chu Feng's mouth curled up. This might be the calm before the storm. He believed that this night was destined to be remembered by Sun Ce for the rest of his life.

"Husband, be careful!"

Daqiao stood behind Chu Feng and straightened his armor. She didn't dare to ask more questions, but she also guessed something.

"Madam, don't worry, you can just stay at the mansion for a while!" After Chu Feng finished speaking, he got on his horse and went straight to the general's mansion. He asked all the aristocratic families in the city to gather here before the third watch.

At the General's Mansion, there are countless carriages inside and outside.

These carriages were loaded with scrolls of books, gold, silver and jewelry, or elders of the clan, etc., all of them were prepared to follow Chu Feng.

Chu Feng arrived with more than a hundred cavalry, dressed in armor and carrying a halberd, majestic and majestic.

When all the families saw Chu Feng coming, their faces showed anxiety instantly, and they all wanted to ask something, but Chu Feng's icy face made them dare not speak.

"How many more!" Chu Feng looked at the few families, frowned slightly, and turned his head to ask.

"My lord, it's almost three o'clock!" The guard replied.

Turning off the horse, he looked at Lu Su beside him and said softly, "Zijing, the message from Xizuo sent back Zhou Yu's suspicions. I'm worried that he will see through the trick."

"Zhou Yu is suspicious?" Lu Su frowned. "This is tricky. Zhou Yu is a little better than me. If he suspects this time, things will be difficult!"

"Don't worry, I have countermeasures."

"It's just a suspicion, not a certainty. I have my own way to convince him. By the way, are the four gates in the city now under control?"

Chu Feng asked.

"It's all under control, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it!" Lu Su nodded solemnly, and at the same time looked at Chu Feng curiously. He really didn't know how to lie to Zhou Yu.

Seeing Lu Su's eager eyes, Chu Feng said in a deep voice: "Let them wait in the mansion. In addition, give me the list of all the aristocratic families in the city except them."

"My lord, you are." Lu Su was startled.

"Hmph, those who haven't arrived tonight are just trying to cater to Cao Cao, the lord of Liushui's iron-clad family, what do you want these things to eat?"

"Just tonight, Sun Ce's army will attack Shouchun. After defeating Sun Ce's army, let someone pretend to be the remnant of Sun Ce's army and slaughter all the families in the city that have not arrived, leaving no one behind!"

Chu Feng frowned and said coldly.

You must know that these few words of his are destined to cause thousands of clansmen to be killed. Maybe some people in these clans are innocent, but if there are no iron and blood methods, batches of people will betray.

The only blame is that innocent people shouldn't be born in troubled times. No snowflake is innocent during an avalanche. He had to do this and embezzle these people's property and property along the way.

Thinking about these people's land and family wealth, my treasury must be full, and I will be posting banners to avenge these people, goodness!

"Gudu!" Lu Su swallowed.

He discovered that after not seeing each other for a few months, Chu Feng became even more murderous and ruthless. This time, he even wanted to kill all the disobedient disciples.

"My subordinates understand, but my lord, those who have not arrived include the Gu family Gu Yong of the four major families, who said he was ill." Lu Su said with a frown.
The influence of the Gu family is still great.

"Hmph, the Gu family is not worthy of carrying shoes with my Yuan family. Since you feel disobedient, you should be beheaded together!" Chu Feng angrily reprimanded,

The Gu family is just one of the four major families in the state.

No matter how strong the family in a state is, can it be as powerful as the fourth generation and third father of the Yuan family?In front of the behemoth of the Yuan family, the Gu family is shit, not even worthy of carrying shoes.

It is only Yangzhou who dare not touch him in Sun!

Can I get used to him?
What's more, since I borrowed a knife to kill someone, and when Gu Yong was destroyed, I was avenging him, wouldn't that be great?

"This subordinate understands." Lu Su nodded.

It seems that Shouchun will be reborn in blood again tonight!
This is the Nth time that Shouchun has done this, and I'm afraid it will be even more terrifying this time.

"Oh, by the way, my lord, just now you said that you had a way to convince Zhou Yu. I don't know how?" Lu Su asked eagerly.

"True is false and false is true, false is true and true is false!"

"Zhou Yu is worried that I am not withdrawing troops, or that I will not say it openly, so let's pretend that I set off in the middle of the night and only bring a few family members with me."

"If I were Zhou Yu, seeing that Chu Feng didn't play cards according to common sense, I was obviously sure that Chu Feng wanted to run first. How could I doubt it? How could Sun Ce not lead his troops to chase after him?"

Chu Feng squinted his pupils, clenched his fists and said with a light smile.

Lu Su: "!!!"

Good fellow, my lord is playing with people's hearts.

Is this also a kind of scheming?Deliberately staggering the intelligence time to sneak away was obviously worried about Sun Ce's pursuit, but at this time Sun Ce dared to pursue him instead.

You know, there is a difference of four hours from the third watch to the fifth watch.

The shadows who escaped for four hours disappeared, and they were beaten with a hammer.

"My lord's wisdom is beyond my reach!" Lu Su cupped his hands and said solemnly. Perhaps Chu Feng was lacking in other aspects, but he did have a skill in judging people by people.

At least he is far behind!
"Okay, don't flatter, hurry up and implement it, this battle must severely damage Sun Ce's troops." Chu Feng raised his hand, disapproving, this battle is destined to be recorded in the annals of history.

He has been plotting against Sun Ce since the way back to the army, and he will never allow failure!
"En!" Lu Su nodded in response.
