Chapter 691

A nimble figure dove straight into the Xunshui River.

A dozen more soldiers standing behind Sun Jian followed into the water.

At this moment, the Xunshui River was not only turbulent, but there were also some Huang Jin soldiers still in the water.

The entire river channel was in chaos.

Watching Bo Cai's head being thrown into the water, both Gao Shun and Qu Yi were stunned.

Neither of them had expected Bo Cai to do such a thing.

However, seeing this scene, both were helpless.

Gao Shun was from Bingzhou, and Qu Yi was from Liangzhou; neither could swim.

Moreover, they were wearing heavy armor; if they went into the water, they would surely sink to the bottom.

So they could only watch helplessly.

Looking at Sun Jian,

Sun Jian's home was in Yangzhou, where the river systems were well-developed, and the soldiers he brought from Wu Commandery were mostly excellent swimmers, which gave them the advantage at this moment.

"Secure Bo Cai's corpse first." Qu Yi pointed at the carriage where Bo Cai had committed suicide.

By now, the remaining Huang Jin soldiers were either dead or had surrendered; there was no more resistance.

After the Trap Camp soldiers boarded the carriage, they quickly collected Bo Cai's corpse.

And everyone's gaze was focused on Sun Jian's unit at this moment.

On the east bank of the Xunshui River,

the rumbling sound of horse hooves rang out.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led over a thousand cavalrymen to the east bank.

When the two saw that the great battle seemed to have already ended, their hearts couldn't help but skip a beat.

Sun Jian had only five hundred men.

And on the opposite side, without even counting, there were thousands.

When Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song saw the battle flag with the character 'Cao' standing on the west bank, they knew who was on the other side.

Cavalry Commandant Cao Cao.

This was someone from Duan Yu's faction.

Duan Yu's troops.

Just as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun thought the situation was lost and their credit had been snatched away, a figure broke through the water.

"Found it!"

The sturdy Cheng Pu held a head in one hand and shouted excitedly.

Sun Jian, standing in the river, widened his eyes and shouted repeatedly: "Good, good, very good!"

Securing Bo Cai's head could be considered a major contribution.

Sun Jian was naturally extremely excited.

And Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun on the bank seemed to understand something as well.

However, at this very moment,

Qu Yi, on the other side of the river, snatched a heavy crossbow from the hands of a soldier behind him and aimed it directly at Cheng Pu, who was holding Bo Cai's head in the river.

"Stop! Throw the head over!" Qu Yi roared.

Cheng Pu, holding Bo Cai's head, was taken aback.

"Presumptuous!"

Sun Jian roared: "Whose subordinate are you, to dare be so presumptuous?"

"This head was found by my unit in the river; what does it have to do with you? Just try shooting an arrow!"

Sun Jian was completely unafraid.

If the opposing general dared to fire, it wouldn't just be a matter of snatching credit.

He was a Sima of the Auxiliary Army personally appointed by the imperial court, a military official with a salary of one thousand shi, an official of the court.

Whoever dared to kill him at this time would be committing a capital crime.

Unless...

Unless they had the ability to kill everyone here.

Seeing that Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song had arrived, Sun Jian felt even more confident.

"We obtained the head, why should we give it to you?"

Sun Jian said with a furrowed brow: "Bo Cai was also defeated by us at Changshe; you are merely picking up a bargain here."

"Bullshit!"

Qu Yi cursed as soon as he spoke: "If it weren't for us, Bo Cai would have run away long ago. What kind of bullshit are you spouting?"

"Clearly we were about to behead Bo Cai, and you led people over to snatch the credit. Now you say we are picking up a bargain? Who is really picking up a bargain?"

"I am Qu Yi, a major general under the command of the Liangzhou Shepherd and General Who Breaks the Qiang."

"If you don't have your subordinate put down the head, see if I dare to shoot!"

Gao Shun looked at Qu Yi: "Yigong, don't be impulsive."

Qu Yi narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Boping, I am not being impulsive. This credit should rightfully be ours. He came to snatch it, which means he is working against the Lord!"

Duan Yu!

Sun Jian, standing in the river, heard that they were Duan Yu's troops and that they spoke so aggressively, and he turned his gaze toward Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. ===== CHAPTER 693 =====
