Yuan Shu was extremely angry. Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui sent letters of help, and Ji Ling repeatedly submitted requests for reinforcements. He was so angry that he almost cut Sun Ce alive. An emergency messenger just sent a letter and just took a few glances...

"Bang!"

Yuan Shu was furious and pointed at General Chen Lan.

"Now... I'll cut that damn Sun Ce now!"

Chen Lan was a little unhappy during this period. She agreed that he and Lei Bo would take Lujiang County and Lujiang County belong to whom, but in the end... neither of them could get the benefits, and the prefect of Lujiang County actually made Liu Xun cheaper.

Unhappy, Chen Lan did not go to chop Sun Ce's head immediately, but instead clasped her fists and persuaded him: "My lord, please think twice. The Sun family is a large family in Wujun. If he kills him, Cao Aman can successfully seize Wujun. It will be unfavorable to the lord. Moreover, the last general also thinks that even if he wants to kill him, he should be open and upright..."

"snort!"

Yuan Shu pointed at Chen Lan and was angry.

"Who asked him to kill Zhang Miao without the general's military order? What is this not betrayal?"

Chen Lancai didn't care whether Sun Ce died or not. He was just unhappy. Liu Xun occupied Lujiang County, and the persuasion was just a small revenge on Yuan Shu. Seeing that he was really angry, he just hugged and retreated to his seat. He knew that someone would definitely stand up to persuade him.

As expected, the chief envoy Yang Hong walked out and clasped his fists and said, "My lord, please calm down. The enemy is in front of him. Sun Ce killed Zhang Miao. Bian Rang was also to help the lord seize the land of Xuzhou. After the failure, he did not follow Zhu Yan. Liu Yao went to Yizhou. He was the loyal lord. It was inappropriate to kill such a loyal and brave general."

After hearing such words, Yuan Shu obviously reduced his anger, but Yang Hong didn't believe Sun Ce's words. He knew that Sun Ce had no way out and could only kill Zhu Yan and Liu Yao.

The territory of Pei State is like a narrow and long "y" terrain, with the tip of the branch on the left connected to the State of Chen; the tip of the branch on the right connected to Shanyang County, Rencheng County, and Lu County. The right side of the branch is adjacent to the Pengcheng County of Xuzhou, and the middle area sandwiched between the left and right branches is Liang State.

On the right side of the "丨" below is Xuzhou Xia Pi State, and on the left is Runan County, which is comparable to a state of people.

Xiang County is in the middle of "y". If Zhu Yan, Liu Yao and Sun Jian do not flee to Xuzhou but choose to flee to Yizhou, no matter how they escape, they will only pass through Runan County, or enter Jingzhou from the Yangtze River between Runan County, Jiujiang County, and Lujiang County. Simply put, no matter which road the three of them choose to go to Yizhou, they must pass by Yuan Shu’s place!

Without Yuan Shu, the three of them would not have thought of going to Yizhou. Then the question is, would Yuan Shu kill Zhu Yan with one knife, Liu Yao?

No, no matter how angry Yuan Shu was, Zhu Yan and Liu Yao would not kill the two of them with one knife. Even if he wanted to kill someone, the advisers below would hold him back. The Huainan army needed to use the hands of the court to block the Liangzhou army.

But Yuan Shu will definitely kill Sun Ce. Zhu Yan and Liu Yao can't protect him, let alone... Zhu Yan and Liu Yao may be even more likely to push all the mistakes on Sun Ce. After all, Sun Ce is the one who really killed people!

No one is truly loyal and righteous in this era. Generals who participate in politics cannot be regarded as simple "generals". Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song are more like politicians, politicians with military talents. The Han Dynasty never lacked such people.

Since they are politicians, Zhu Ye and Liu Yao should know how serious the consequences they have caused. They should know that even if they escape to Chengdu, they will definitely be criticized and attacked by court officials, unless they can find a scapegoat to take on all the blame, and the only one who can bear the blame... is Sun Ce who killed someone!

Zhu Jun spoke out to the court, which sounded very good advice, but no matter how they fled west, they could not get around Yuan Shu's controlled area. After Yuan Shu suffered such a big loss, someone must be responsible for it.

As a person, Zhu Jun pushed Sun Ce to the road of "definite death". Sun Ce could only kill two people and let them bear the lost faults of Pei and Chen.

Sun Ce's approach was extremely risky. Once Pei and Chen were lost, the Liangzhou army and Huainan army would have no buffer belt, which means that Dong Hu's knife was already on Yuan Shu's neck, and he also urgently needed the help of external forces, such as Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Xuzhou, and even the entire Jiangnan county and state. Those who can do this may be the only one who escaped into Yizhou could do it.

But now Sun Ce cut Zhu Jun and Liu Yao into pieces!

Yuan Shu couldn't understand why Zhu Jun and Liu Yao killed Zhang Miao, and even more so why Sun Ce killed two people. He would rather kill Sun Ce.

Not only did he not understand, but Dong Hu couldn't figure it out for a moment. Xuzhou is so close, wouldn't it be nice to escape into Tancheng by using Pengcheng Kingdom? Tao Qian was dead, and the local family in Xuzhou was fighting with the Danyang system. The two were from the court, and the probability of Liu Bei and Lu Bu entering Xuzhou was greater.

Dong Hu didn't understand that it was because the three of them fled eastward when they fled Xiang County and were fleeing towards Xuzhou. If Zhu Jun and Liu Yao could take over Xuzhou, Sun Ce could also drink soup from behind, right? But how could he have thought that Zhu Jun's purpose was to escape to Yizhou!

If he knew that Zhu Jun's ultimate goal was the Chengdu court, he would be able to understand why Sun Ce wanted to kill Zhu Jun and Liu Yao, and even Taishi Ci, who should have been a "Wu General", died under his sword.

Yang Hong and Yan Xiang knew more about the two great strategists. They knew that Sun Ce had no way out, but they would not believe Sun Ce's loyalty, just like they would not believe his father Sun Jian. But how much benefits would it be if they killed Sun Ce now?

Thinking of this, Yang Hong clasped his fists and persuaded him again: "The Liangzhou army is powerful and our army lacks brave soldiers. Sun Ce can come here regardless of everything, and he is more or less loyal. Once... he kills him, the soldiers will inevitably feel uneasy."

"Please think twice, lord."

Yang Hong clasped his fists to persuade Yuan Shu. Seeing that Yuan Shu was hesitant, Yan Xiang stepped forward and said, "The Liangzhou army was cruel and unkind. At this time, the lord should be kind and loving. Only when the top and the other are united can the lord unify the south of the Yangtze River and compete with Dong Hu. I... I think that Sun Ce can commit crimes with merits. If he has the intention to rebel, he will be fine and kill him with military law."

Yuan Shu was angry and couldn't let out an inexplicable anger, but when he saw his confidant counselor speak, he could only force his anger in his chest.

"snort!"

"Lei Bo, Chen Lan."

Lei Bo Leng's face turned forward. Like Chen Lan, he was extremely dissatisfied with Liu Xun's robbery of Lujiang County.

"The last one will be here!"

Yuan Shu seemed to know the dissatisfaction of the two beloved generals under him, but he didn't want to explain too much. Yang Hong and Yan Xiang had explained clearly enough. They are in a difficult situation now. Lujiang County is adjacent to Jingzhou, and using the royal family Liu Xun as Lujiang County is also considered to be Liu Biao. The court expressed some easing attitude. After all, when he was having a play with Cao Cao, Ji Ling stole several counties in the southern part of Pei State. If both sides could not ease, Zhu Jun and Liu Yao would not be able to help him block the Liangzhou army with peace of mind, right?

Yuan Shu didn't want to explain too much about Lujiang County, so he said to Lei Bo: "I will give you 50,000 troops to Runan, and Sun Ce will also go with you. Because you have made contributions a few days ago, I have asked the court to grant you the title of Marquis of Wanhu for you. I hope you can work together to defeat the thieves in Liangzhou!"

When he heard the "World Hu Hou", Lei Bo and Chen Lan felt a little more uncomfortable and held her fists together.

"promise!"

Yuan Shu was not stupid. Seeing the two of them doing this, he felt relieved and said, "At this time, the thieves in Liangzhou are powerful. Runan is dominated by Ji Ling. You and Zhang Xun are supplemented by Zhang Xun. You must not let the thieves in Liangzhou enter Runan County easily!"

"Yuan Yin, you and Chang Zheng go to Runan to supervise the army, and never happen like that in Xiangxian again!"

Yuan Yin and Yang Hong stepped forward.

"promise!"

Yuan Shu waved his hand a little impatiently.

"Go down."

A group of civil and military men bowed together to leave the hall. Yuan Shu's coaching stage was even more luxurious and majestic than the coaching stage of the leader Yuan Shao that day, as if he was the lord of the world with this...

Civil and military officials walked out of the commanding platform one by one, and some people sighed and shook their heads from time to time. Yang Hong said nothing. As soon as he boarded the carriage, the servant who drove the carriage lowered his head and spoke softly.

"Owner.

"I just sent someone to the house and said that Sun Quan gave me a box of things and left."

...

"Go to prison."

The carriage walked a hundred steps before a low voice came from the carriage. The servant turned his head and walked in the other direction without hesitation...

"Master, here."

The servant lifted the curtain of the car, lowered his body to support Yang Hong out of the carriage. Yang Hong looked at the two half-old teenagers in the front of the prison, one was Sun Quan and the other was Zhu Zhi's adopted son Zhu Ran...

Sun Quan and Zhu Ran were the same age as twelve teenagers. After seeing Yang Hong get off the carriage, they all stepped forward and held their fists to greet each other.

"My younger generation Sun Quan has met the eldest son."

Yang Hong nodded after a little silent, and said unhappy: "You are quite smart, but aren't you afraid that I will cut off your head?"

Zhu Ran was about to be anxious, but Sun Quan grabbed him and said respectfully: "My father died on the battlefield for General Yuan. The only brother in my family can rely on me. If my brother suffers an accident, even if I live my life today, I will starve to death in the wilderness in the future. I hope that my elders will forgive me for my recklessness."

Yang Hong nodded and said, "Although you are young, you are much more stable than your father and your brother."

As he said that, Yang Hong didn't say much, and stepped forward to the prison guarding strictly. In just a moment, the prison officer was waiting outside respectfully.

No one spoke. The prison head seemed to know who Yang Hong was going to meet and took him all the way to the depths of the prison...

"Dang."

The sound of falling off the lock was dull, and several people were disheveled in the prison without saying a word. Yang Hong lowered his head and walked in. Sun Quan and Zhu Ran were breathing rapidly at this time, but he still forced himself to stand silently behind Yang Hong...

"Sun Ce."

"When I learned that you killed Zhang Miao, I thought you would be just a brave and unscheming reckless man like his father Sun Jian, so I killed people regardless of the consequences, but you then killed Zhu Yan and Liu Yao without hesitation. Instead, I felt that you were not as reckless as you imagined."

"but!"

"Why do you want to kill Zhang Miao?"

“Why?”

Yang Hong asked again what he said a few days ago. Although Sun Ce was so embarrassed that he was still very respectful and clasped his fists.

"The last general is a general, and he can only act according to orders."

Hearing the same answer, Yang Hong felt a little angry and said coldly: "As long as you follow the order? Have you given you the military order to kill Zhang Miao?"

Sun Ce did not make any mistakes and said respectfully: "The lord asked Sun to lead his troops to Xiang County. As long as Zhu Jun did not betray his lord, Sun must assist Zhu Jun to block the thieves in Liangzhou."

...

"hehe……"

"It seems that I am thinking too much. The general's loyalty makes me admire him. I hope the general can fight bravely and lose his merits."
