People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 534 Kill his whole family

The little fuss caused by Wu Guotai was just a small episode. Meeting her was already the most Xu Chen could do. As for whether she would continue on a hunger strike after returning, that was not Xu Chen's concern. If she really refused to take off her brocade clothes and pick up the hoe, then she deserved to die.

But this also made Xu Chen understand that there are many bitches in this world, and to deal with them, more ruthless means must be used.

After Wu Guotai's commotion, those despicable people who were later liquidated and reformed by the Yellow Turbans would definitely curse Wu Guotai's ancestors for eighteen generations. After Xu Chen's order, although the means of dealing with the gentry and powerful people and the old aristocrats did not change, the intensity of the punishment was suddenly increased, and those who came later would naturally suffer a lot.

If you resist and feel wronged even by basic labor, then you cannot blame anyone else even if you die. This is the daily life of the working people, and the superiors have to endure it whether they can or not, and there is no room for negotiation.

Most of the nobles in the world have been captured or killed by the Yellow Turbans. The next thing to do is to capture the last batch of people and execute them, to liquidate those who need to be liquidated and to reform those who need to be reformed.

"It's time to restore order to this world. The Wu-Shu coalition forces should be reaching Yangzhou." Xu Chen quickly put Wu Guotai's affairs behind him and began to focus on the current war again.

Ju Su was inexplicably touched at this moment. This time he would personally witness the demise of the old era. Once Wu and Shu were destroyed, the world would truly change. "Just now the latest military report came. Our scouts discovered their traces at the border of Yangzhou a few days ago. Judging from their marching speed, they should have just entered Yangzhou now."

When Xu Chen heard this, his eyes narrowed. The time for the final battle had finally arrived.

It has been almost twenty years since I came to this era. I have fought against various princes, and then walked step by step to the present moment, and finally I can see the end.

After burying the last glory left over from the old era of Liu Bei and Sun Quan with their own hands, the land of China will usher in a complete rebirth.

In fact, this is not only related to Chinese civilization, but also a huge progress of human civilization in nearly two thousand years. History has crossed countless stages and is rushing directly towards the world that Xu Chen is familiar with in his mind.

He couldn't wait to get this over with.

"In that case, let's go meet them. Our army has rested for nearly a month and is now strong and in good shape. Pass on my order, assemble the entire army and march west immediately to meet the enemy!"

With Xu Chen's order, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops followed suit.

Today's Yangzhou is Xuanxia's Yangzhou. Xu Chen would naturally not allow the Wu-Shu coalition forces to come in and wreak havoc, and he immediately mobilized a large army to take the initiative to meet the enemy.

In this decisive battle, both sides will decide the outcome through a head-on war without spending any money.

Xu Chen had complete confidence in this. Regardless of whether the ambushes he had arranged in Xiangyang and Shuzhong would be effective, it would only have an impact on the overall war situation. What would ultimately decide everything would be the head-on collision between the main armies of both sides.

The Yellow Turban army marched westward in a mighty force. The people of Jianye, who had only become familiar with the Yellow Turbans for a month, spontaneously sent them off to the expedition.

This was something that the Wu army and even the Han army had not been able to accomplish in several years or hundreds of years, but the Yellow Turbans did it in less than thirty days.

The people's hearts are where sincerity lies.

The Yellow Turbans' reports were very accurate. Just when the Yellow Turbans' army set out from Jianye, the Wu-Shu coalition forces had just arrived in Yangzhou. When Sun Quan returned here, facing the land that once belonged to him, he felt only endless complexity in his heart.

On the way back to provide assistance, Sun Quan's mood became visibly worse. He would get angry at his subordinates from time to time, causing panic among the Wu army.

In fact, this is not a strange thing. No matter who loses his career and his mother and family, he will not be happy.

Before entering Yangzhou, the Wu-Shu coalition had received news that Yangzhou, the foundation of Wu, had now fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turbans. This was undoubtedly a huge piece of bad news for Sun Quan, but there was an even bigger blow waiting for him. When Yangzhou fell, Jianye, as the capital of Wu, was naturally not spared. The Yellow Turbans easily took Jianye in just two days.

If it were just that, it would be fine. However, what Sun Quan could not accept the most was that his entire family was captured by the Yellow Turbans. If Xu Chen was right in front of him, he would definitely shout out.

Xu thief, give my family back to me!

In fact, whether Sun Quan really loves his family is another matter, but even if he doesn’t, he has to pretend to love them.

Wife and children may not be important, but the key is that Wu Guotai was also captured, so Sun Quan could not help but be sad and angry.

Sun Quan knew that no matter whether he could win the battle or not, he had no hope of saving his family. All he could do now was to get angry and express his grief for losing his family.

At this time, the only one who dared to discuss things with Sun Quan was Zhou Yu.

It’s not that Sun Quan likes Zhou Yu so much, it’s just that the Wu army cannot do without Zhou Yu now. If he wants to win this battle, he can only count on Zhou Yu.

In the silent tent, accompanied by the sound of unrhythmic footsteps, Zhou Yu appeared in front of Sun Quan: "Your Majesty, we have entered Yangzhou. The Yellow Turbans will definitely take the initiative to attack. We should prepare for the next decisive battle."

Sun Quan's face could not be seen in the shadow of the tent, which made the atmosphere here a little gloomy. Then Sun Quan's low and hoarse voice was heard: "Gongjin is right. It's time to prepare for a decisive battle. Gongjin should have a plan in mind on how to fight."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head imperceptibly: "Our army has no way to retreat. Now we have only two choices. One is to fight the Yellow Turbans head-on to seek victory. If we win, we will win. If we lose, we will perish."

Sun Quan asked again: "What about the second way?"

Zhou Yu added: "The second is to station troops in nearby cities to defend against the Yellow Turbans. This will make up for the difference in strength between the two sides. The Yellow Turbans can either attack or confront each other. This will be much easier than a head-on battle. However, the war will take a very long time."

Upon hearing this, Sun Quan immediately started to think about it, and after a while he was inclined to Zhou Yu's second strategy.

He naturally knew the strength of the Wu-Shu coalition. It was not enough to fight the Yellow Turbans head on. Only by forcing the Yellow Turbans to launch a siege war would he have some confidence. Even if it turned into a confrontation, it was better than losing all in one wave.

But before he could say anything, he heard a loud "Urgent news!" and then a messenger rushed into the tent.

Before Sun Quan could react, he heard the messenger breathlessly reporting the military situation: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Xiangyang. Deng Dang in our army rebelled and defected to the Yellow Turbans during the battle, causing our army to be defeated in the battle of Xiangyang. Now Xiangyang has fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turbans!"

"What? Deng Dang is rebelling!"

Sun Quan was stunned at first, then he flew into a rage, his gloomy face instantly turned into a rage: "How dare he? I will kill his entire family, come, immediately."

The words came to an abrupt end before he could finish them. Sun Quan suddenly remembered that he could no longer do anything to Deng as a family member.

Deng Dang's relatives were all in Yangzhou, and now Yangzhou had fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turbans. Even if Deng Dang rebelled, he could only watch helplessly!

Although Zhou Yu was shocked, he was able to calm down quickly. He looked at Sun Quan and said, "Since Xiangyang has been lost, our rear is unstable. Once supplies are cut off, this battle will be difficult."
