Chapter 380
"It's not Sun Ce's fault; it's just that Lord Xuande is too strong!"
The Yuan girl was also excited; it was her first time seeing a general duel between two armies, and she saw Liu Bei display such divine power!
"Is this my future husband? So strong, I... I'm scared, I need to exercise my body."
Lu Lingqi sighed; only she could more deeply experience that sense of power.
Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, and the others surrounded the injured Sun Ce and fled wildly!
Liu Bei stood on his horse and did not pursue,
He didn't want to kill Sun Ce yet; if Sun Ce were killed, a Sun Quan would appear,
And although his combat power wasn't good, he would know how to win people's hearts, twisting the Jiangdong commanderies into a single rope, which would be hard to deal with in the future.
Sun Ce killed many people and offended many people; in the future, as long as Sun Ce is defeated, it should be much easier to turn the Jiangdong gentry against him.

The pursuit lasted for half a day,
Sun Ce's nearly thirty thousand army had five or six thousand killed, and nearly ten thousand captured!
Zhou Yu and the others also gathered over ten thousand routed soldiers and retreated toward Hefei!
The people of Huainan, as well as the soldiers who had just defected to Liu Bei, saw their morale soar; with such a Lord Xuande, who is there to fear?
Crushing the Cao Army!
Defeating Sun Ce!
The momentum was like a rainbow!
Xun You cupped his hands,
"My lord, what should we do with the nine thousand captured soldiers?"
Liu Bei thought for a moment,
"Those willing to join our army, accept them; those unwilling, give them two days' rations and let them return to Jiangdong."
Xun You praised him loudly,
"My lord is benevolent; the elders of Jiangdong will surely be grateful for your righteousness."
Fa Zheng also said,
"My lord's action forms a good bond with the people of Jiangdong, and these soldiers will return and promote your bravery and skill in battle; this is great!"
Guo Jia added,
"It can also reduce grain consumption."
Liu Bei smiled,
"We also have to thank Sun Ce for transporting the grain, allowing us to eat for a few more days."
Everyone laughed loudly!
Yue Jiu and the other newly joined generals thought to themselves, this lord was indeed the right choice!
Xia Houyuan heard that Liu Bei had crushed Sun Ce's thirty thousand army, felt fear in his heart, and dared not continue the pursuit.
Yuan Shu had already run to the Liuan area,
He heard that Liu Bei had crushed Sun Ce and sighed with emotion,
"The Eared Thief is too fierce; fortunately, I acted according to the situation and sent my daughter over!"
Yuan Shu then smiled,
Sun Ce, this two-faced traitor, being beaten until he vomited blood made him very happy!
"Damn traitor, it would be best if he vomited blood and died this time!"
The entire Huainan was greatly shaken!
Everyone heard that Lord Xuande intended to take the people north to Guanzhong, and the people of Jiujiang Commandery who couldn't go on living packed their luggage and gathered toward Liu Bei's immigrant army!
In the future, this would become the main battlefield for the Cao Army and Sun Ce to fight over. Huainan had suffered a severe drought in recent years, and Yuan Shu had been extorting taxes, so life was truly unbearable.
Liu Bei's immigrant army soon swelled to thirty thousand people! ===== CHAPTER 381 =====
