Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 186 Sun Ce's Decision

There is also a big camp more than ten or twenty miles away from Yuan Shu's big camp.

It was the place where Sun Ce's army, which had been in a stalemate with Yuan Shu in Hefei for a long time, was located there.

After Sun Ce conquered the land of Jiangdong, he has been stationing troops in Lujiang, hoping to gather troops to attack the land of Jiangxia, control the land of Jiangxia in his hands, and prepare for the future.

However, before he was ready to do anything, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, so he could only make a change and lead his troops to attack Yuan Shu. After all, for him, capturing the land of Jiangxia was only for attacking Jingzhou in the future However, Yuan Shu ruled a part of Yangzhou.

If he could take advantage of this opportunity to capture Yuan Shu's territory in Yangzhou, then the entire Yangzhou would be under his control. In comparison, the capture of Jiangxia's territory would be slowed down.

Although he wanted to win the Yangzhou territory controlled by Yuan Shu, Sun Ce did not want to fight Yuan Shu head-on.

at this time.

Sun Ce was sitting opposite a refined general, drinking tea.

For them, as long as they dragged Yuan Shu here and waited for the opportunity, it was enough to fight or not to fight, so they didn't need to think too much, just being stable was enough.

"Gongjin, what do you think about this matter?" Sun Ce asked.

The elegant general sitting opposite Sun Ce is Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, who also conspired for Sun Ce and exchanged the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom for [-] soldiers and horses. He took the opportunity to return to Jiangdong, integrate Jiangdong, and stabilize Jiangdong.

Holding a cup of tea, Zhou Yu blew on it, took a sip, and said with a smile, "My lord, you have made up your mind! Although Yuan Shu has an army of more than [-], it can be said that he has a strong army, but this time is like a feudal lord crusade against Dong Zhuo." Same, although there are differences, but Yuan Shu will definitely lose, it just depends on who loses!"

"Yuan Shu is too impatient!" Sun Ce said with a slight smile.

Zhou Yu shook his head, smiled, and didn't say much. He also understood what Sun Ce meant.

Now the big man is weak, has gone through many changes, the emperor has changed hands several times, and the majesty has long since disappeared. If it hadn't been officially collapsed, many people jumped out early in the morning. Even they Jiangdong have the same idea , just not spread out.

But Yuan Shu actually jumped out, confronted the court openly, proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun openly, did not take the emperor in Chang'an into consideration at all, overwhelmed the majesty of the last big man, and also broke the relatively stable situation now.

Seeing Zhou Yu's expression, Sun Ce also understood that Zhou Yu didn't want to delve into this topic, so he didn't plan to talk more about this topic, and was about to change the subject.

"Report! Yuan Shu led the army and marched in the direction of Shouchun without pulling out the camp!"

A soldier quickly walked in from outside the camp, bowed his hands and knelt down.

"Are you sure it's going to Shouchun instead of our camp?" Sun Ce asked.

Zhou Yu also frowned and looked at the soldier. If Yuan Shu raised his troops and came to fight against them, it is still possible, but if he is going to Shouchun, then he needs to dig deeper into the matter.

"My lord, Yuan Shu indeed led the army to Shouchun. After Yuan Shu's army left, I went to the camp to check, and there was nothing left behind!" The soldier said truthfully.

heard.

Sun Ce also knew that this might be true. He couldn't understand the reason, so he looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "Yuan Shu marched to Shouchun so anxiously, and he didn't even remove the camp. There is only one reason that can explain it, and that is what happened to Shouchun!"

Apart from this reason, he couldn't think of any other reason that could make Yuan Shu raise his army in such a hurry and rush back to Shouchun.

"Gong Jin means...!" Sun Ce said a little uncertainly.

Zhou Yu nodded heavily, and said, "That's right, it's very likely that the soldiers and horses of that route have already attacked Shouchun!"

However, another soldier came in from outside the tent, knelt down, cupped his hands and said, "Report, Jingzhou Liu Qi has led the army to capture Shouchun!"

The soldier who reported was Shouchun's spy report. Shouchun was destroyed, so he also took advantage of the chaos to leave the city and rushed all the way to report the incident to Sun Ce.

really……

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other and understood why Yuan Shu marched to Shouchun so anxiously. It turned out that the imperial capital had been breached.

"What does Gong Jin think should be done now?" Sun Ce said with a gleam in his eyes.

"Raise your soldiers and horses and follow them. You only need to follow. If you have the opportunity, you can also deal a fatal blow to Yuan Shu's army and wipe them out on the march!" Zhou Yu said.

He is not an indecisive person either, this is also a good opportunity, if he can grasp it well, then he can resolve the battle without paying anything, and deal with this battle at once.

"Okay, just do what Gong Jin said!" Sun Ce said.

Now Yuan Shu doesn't care about his army at all, and completely releases his back. If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity, he doesn't have to continue messing around, and he can go back to Jiangdong directly.

Shouchun City was captured by Liu Qi, so this battle has undergone great changes. Yuan Shu and Zhang Xun can be separated. Strength.

"promise!"

Zhou Yu's thinking was also similar to Sun Ce's. After all, Liu Qi was under the banner of "helping the Han Dynasty". Now that he has won Shouchun, Liu Qi will definitely continue to attack Yuan Shu or Zhang Xun. With Yuan Shu around, the matter is not over.

But neither Sun Ce nor Zhou Yu knew that they were thinking too much. Although Liu Qi was playing the banner of helping the Han Dynasty, he was playing for other purposes.

Sun Ce, who had made up his mind, did not hesitate, and quickly asked Zhou Yu to arrange it. He mobilized his troops, pulled out the barracks, and pursued Yuan Shu's army.

Now that Yuan Shu has led the army to leave, they can't help but continue to hesitate, either to catch up, or to stay here and see the result before making a decision.

If they don't pursue and wait for the result, then this time there will be no such thing as their Jiangdong, not to mention wanting to control the entire Yangzhou, Shouchun falling into Liu Qi's hands is what worries them the most.

So there is no need to think too much at all, the pursuit is the most important thing.

Sun Ce and Yuan Shu, who were at a stalemate in Hefei, also led their troops to Shouchun one after another because of the news that Liu Qi had broken through Shouchun.

One after the other, without any stop!
