Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator.

#732 - Yellow River bursts its banks

Instantly, Taishi Ci could no longer suppress the joy on his face.

If it were the names of other generals under Liu Bei, Taishi Ci, who had lived in Liaodong for many years, might not be clear, but he was quite familiar with the name Sun Ce.

In the battle of Youzhou that year, not only did it establish the prestige of Li Ji and Gongsun Zan, but the other generals who participated in the battle were also praised by the people of Youzhou.

Some of the people of Youzhou who had suffered from the Wuhuan looting still set up ancestral temples for Li Ji and Gongsun Zan to pray for blessings.

Although Sun Ce was not allowed by Li Ji to engage in close combat with the Wuhuan barbarians due to his young age, back then.

But Sun Ce still had the identity of a disciple of the Marquis of Guoshi, which made Sun Ce often stand by the side like a boy in the ancestral temples established by many people for Li Ji.

In this way, how could Taishi Ci, who had lived in Liaodong for many years, not know the name of Sun Ce?

Moreover, in an instant, Taishi Ci suddenly realized why Cao Jun wanted to dig up the Yellow River channel.

I am afraid that what he wants to deal with is the army under Uncle Liu Huang.

Immediately, when he was still twenty steps away from Sun Ce, Taishi Ci jumped off his horse, took the initiative to clasp his fists and bowed.

"I mistakenly thought that the general was Cao Jun who had just taken action. I hope the general will not be offended."

Seeing this, Sun Ce also jumped off his horse and helped Taishi Ci up, and asked.

"Do you know my name?"

"Few people in Youyan don't know the name of Marquis Guoshi. Since the general is a disciple of Marquis, he naturally knows…"

After a pause, Taishi Ci's tone was full of emotion and admiration.

"It's just that I didn't know that the general was a disciple of Marquis, but he still has such martial prowess. He is truly a man of both civil and military talents."

As soon as these words came out, Sun Ce couldn't help but blush, subconsciously opened his mouth, but slowly closed it…

At this moment, it undoubtedly confirmed the saying.

Li Ji never worried that Sun Ce could threaten him in terms of strategy, but to some extent, it could make Li Ji's educational level notorious.

"That… uh…"

Sun Ce held back for a long time before stammering.

"Presumably the teacher will be very happy to know about this."

In addition to being excited, Taishi Ci suddenly reacted, grabbed Sun Ce's arm, and said anxiously.

"General, I have something important to report. This matter concerns the general's safety and will also affect the lives of the people of Jinan."

"What's the matter?" Sun Ce asked subconsciously.

Taishi Ci quickly replied.

"Cao Jun wants to dig up the Yellow River to flood Jinan!"

"What?!"

For a time, everyone who heard this changed their faces and exclaimed.

Different from Cheng Pu and Huang Gai's subconscious suspicion after the surprise, Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice.

"Is this true?"

"I saw it with my own eyes!"

Taishi Ci was afraid that Sun Ce would not believe it, so he quickly added.

"The important thing I said just now is to find a city nearby and try to recruit young men to help me stop Cao Jun from digging up the Yellow River."

Sun Ce's face kept changing. After about a few breaths, he said loudly.

"Demou, you immediately return to the army and report this matter to Gongjin, and order Gongjin to immediately find a high ground nearby to move the troops. I want to immediately lead the cavalry to investigate this matter."

Hearing this, Cheng Pu walked to Sun Ce's side and said in a low voice.

"Lord, this person's origin is unknown, and he may not be trustworthy. It is still unknown whether he is a death soldier sent by Cao Jun. It is better to let Gongfu lead the cavalry to investigate…"

Sun Ce raised his hand to stop Cheng Pu's unfinished words and said.

"The matter of the Yellow River bursting its banks is of great importance. It is better to believe it than not."

"And in my opinion, Brother Taishi is a loyal and righteous person, and he will definitely not deceive me. We should go quickly, or there may still be a chance to stop Cao Thief."

If it were someone else, Sun Ce might not think that the other party would dare to dig up the Yellow River.

But that was Cao Thief, and Sun Ce felt that there was nothing Cao Thief would not dare to do.

Especially since this way into Qingzhou has been too smooth, and there has not even been the slightest obstruction, Sun Ce felt that something was wrong.

Once Cao Jun digs up the Yellow River, it will undoubtedly leave the army led by Sun Ce with no place to be buried.

Perhaps Sun Ce is not good at using strategies, but his actions are quite decisive. He made a judgment in an instant and understood that even if Taishi Ci still had some possibility of being a death soldier of Cao Jun, he must go to investigate and verify it.

Seeing this, Cheng Pu still wanted to persuade him…

More importantly, Cheng Pu felt that it was too dangerous for Sun Ce to go to investigate, and he didn't want to watch Sun Ce take risks.

"I have made up my mind, Demou, there is no need to say more, and quickly inform Gongjin of this matter, and Gongjin will also make a decision."

Sun Ce said sternly, and then said anxiously to Taishi Ci.

"I wonder if Brother Taishi can lead the way for me?"

"That's what I want, I dare not ask for it!"

Taishi Ci was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.

Seeing this, Cheng Pu had no choice but to quickly wink at Huang Gai, telling Huang Gai to protect Sun Ce no matter what.

Immediately, Sun Ce, knowing that the situation was critical, immediately led three hundred cavalrymen and galloped all the way north under the guidance of Taishi Ci.

In fact, it was not that Sun Ce acted arbitrarily without discussing it with Zhou Yu.

But Sun Ce understood that if what Taishi Ci said was true, only by using a surprise attack could he stop Cao Jun from digging up the Yellow River. He could only hope for the cavalry, and the infantry would not be able to make it in time.

But the cavalry in the army was limited, and even if he discussed it with Zhou Yu, the most he could dispatch directly to the Yellow River bank was four hundred cavalrymen.

More importantly, this might delay time.

Therefore, Sun Ce simply led the three hundred or so cavalrymen who were guarding him to go.

'I hope… it's still in time!'

Sun Ce led more than three hundred cavalrymen and began to run wildly, muttering with a solemn look in his eyes.

Even though it was getting dark at this time, neither Taishi Ci nor Sun Ce had any intention of stopping at all, but were still racing against time to get on the road.

It was only after Taishi Ci left the bank of the Yellow River that he accidentally encountered Sun Ce after traveling for more than two hours. Even if Taishi Ci's ability to recognize the road was extremely strong, he could find his way back along the direction.

This distance still can only be crossed by war horses as soon as possible.

Under the continuous rapid march, Taishi Ci's good horse that he brought back from Liaodong even foamed at the mouth and was exhausted to death.

And halfway through the journey, the sky was completely dark, which made the speed have to slow down again.

It took three hours before Taishi Ci accurately found the location where Cheng Yu was preparing to dig up the Yellow River.

After this continuous rapid march, even Sun Ce felt a little tired.

As for Taishi Ci, who had been running wildly for nearly six hours and had fought fiercely with the crowd for a while, he was even more exhausted and relied entirely on willpower to support him.

Most of the other cavalrymen were also exhausted after such a rapid march.

However, Sun Ce did not dare to rest. Just as he was about to approach carefully with Taishi Ci to confirm the situation…

"Boom!"

A sound like the collapse of the earth made everyone, including Sun Ce and Taishi Ci, turn pale.

The Yellow River… burst its banks! (End of this chapter)
