Chapter 376: Yuan Shu: Stop chasing, please take my daughter away

Zhou Yu sighed with emotion,

"The lord has shown me great kindness!"

Sun Ce smiled,

"You brat, you've gained an advantage, so now it's 'great kindness', is it?"

At this time, a scout came to report,

"Report~!"

"My lord, Liu Bei arrived at Shouchun and joined forces with Cao Cao, and the very next day they broke Shouchun!"

Sun Ce was stunned,

"Cao Cao attacked for over a month without breaking it, yet Liu Bei broke Shouchun as soon as he arrived? Is Liu Bei that strong?"

Zhou Yu tapped the desk,

"My lord, if you are full after eating five bowls of rice, is it only because of the fifth bowl?"

Sun Ce realized,

"Gongjin is truly clever. Liu Bei just happened to be there at the right time to push the wave along."

The scout continued to report,

"My lord, after the city fell, the Cao Army burned, killed, and plundered inside Shouchun City. Liu Bei opened the South Gate and let the people out of the city."

"Afterward, the Cao Army and Liu Bei fought a decisive battle outside the city because of the people."

Zhou Yu frowned,

"This is an overt strategy. Cao Cao forced Liu Bei into a decisive battle. Liu Bei only had ten thousand cavalry; even if many of the Cao Army were plundering, I'm afraid there were still sixty or seventy thousand of them."

Sun Ce sighed,

"It seems there is no chance to fight Liu Bei this time. Which route did Liu Bei choose to flee?"

The scout cupped his hands,

"My lord, outside Shouchun City, Liu Bei used ten thousand to crush Cao Cao's sixty thousand army. Cao Cao's great general Cao Ren used a poisoned arrow to ambush Liu Bei, but was killed by Liu Bei instead! Cao Cao was made to cut his beard and discard his robe by Ma Chao! The Cao Army lost at least over twenty thousand men in one battle!"

"What?!"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu both stood up in surprise!

"Liu Bei is actually this capable!"

After clarifying the situation, Zhou Yu sighed deeply,

"Liu Bei is indeed a famous general. He used repeating crossbows to stun the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and then used Ma Chao's courage to drive away Cao Cao, achieving such a great victory!"

He paced back and forth,

"Back then, Liu Bei used large shields and strong crossbows to defeat Dong Zhuo's one hundred thousand army, becoming famous in one battle. He can infinitely amplify a small advantage; he is truly a man who knows military strategy!"

He then added,

"Liu Bei is not only good at fighting, but also has excellent strategic vision. Occupying Bingzhou and Guanzhong, he relies on mountain passes to resist Cao and Yuan. Liangzhou had already become a great burden to the Great Han, yet he reopened the Silk Road and revitalized Liangzhou. He is truly a rare talent!"

Sun Ce's fighting spirit, however, was already full!

"I must fight Liu Bei!"

Zhou Yu nodded,

"If we can keep Liu Bei here, that would be best. If not, we cannot let him take away the people of Jiujiang Commandery!"

In Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's strategy, Jiujiang Commandery was the necessary route from Jiangdong to the Central Plains and must be taken!

Sun Ce rose to his full height,

"Pass my order: have Cheng Pu lead eight thousand troops from the north of Chaohu Lake to rendezvous with me!"

Zhou Yu was somewhat worried,

"My lord, that would leave our army with only two thousand men under Lü Fan's command for the warships."

Sun Ce waved his hand,

"No matter. I will have him guard against Liu Xun of Lujiang; there are no enemies elsewhere!"

"Liu Bei has a large target with the people; could he possibly raid our warships?"

Zhou Yu thought that was true,

"We will spread scouts widely and monitor Liu Bei closely!"

The barrage in the Goose Live broadcast room was plentiful,

"The Little Conqueror of Jiangdong challenges the Eared Thief? Will he be beaten until he cries?"

"Sun Ce has the arrogance, but his strength is at most about the same as Taishi Ci's, and he is a long way from the Eared Thief!"

"Poor me, Ye Huang is still helping Sun Ce stabilize the rear."

"Does no one want to know about the Two Qiaos in Jiangbei? Cao Cao and Sun Ce have both sent men, but the Eared Thief is still oblivious."

"I believe in the Eared Thief's beauty radar!"

In Yuan Shu's camp,

"What? Shouchun was broken just like that?!"

"Are Yue Jiu and Qiao Rui both trash!"

Yuan Shu hadn't expected that he had only been on the run for two or three days, and Shouchun had already fallen!

He let out a long sigh; fortunately, he had run away.

"Emperor, after Shouchun City fell, Cao Cao and Liu Bei started fighting."

Yuan Shu's mood improved a bit; there was finally some good news,

"Who died, or did they both die?"

"Emperor, Cao Ren fired a poisoned arrow but was shot and killed by Liu Bei instead. Liu Bei's ten thousand cavalry crushed Cao Cao's sixty thousand army, and now he is leading sixteen thousand Shouchun people south."

Yuan Shu was shocked,

"The Eared Thief is this capable? Cao Aman is this useless?!"

Yan Xiang frowned,

"Emperor, we are also heading south..."

Yuan Shu??

His face changed instantly,

"What does the Eared Thief want! Why, out of all the places to go, is he following me!"

Yuan Shu was now a bit afraid; Liu Bei could use ten thousand to fight Cao Cao's sixty thousand! ===== CHAPTER 377 =====

Yuan Shu is a bit afraid now; Liu Bei can defeat Cao Cao's sixty thousand with only ten thousand!
