Although Cao Cao and the others were used to being shocked, Yuan Shu's final fate was still extremely shocking.
Chen Zhou's ability to predict the unknown was once again demonstrated.
Shocked them all!
Chen Zhou understood that it was too shocking, so he coughed lightly and said, "It's all a coincidence. It's such a coincidence that I guessed it right."
I knew they would be so shocked.
"Watari's ability is as powerful as ever, he knows everything!"
Cao Cao was deeply impressed and thought that he would never question Chen Zhou again in the future, otherwise it would be very painful when he was slapped in the face.
Guo Jia came back to his senses and praised: "Du Zhi, can you teach me your ability to predict the future?"
Chen Zhouwei explained: "It's not about predicting the future. It's just a specific issue and a specific analysis. But I can't explain it. It's just a normal thing."
Cao Cao and Guo Jia: "..."
They don't believe it, this is normal.
Maybe Chen Zhou didn't want to say it, or maybe he didn't know how to say it, but Cao Cao didn't care. As long as he knew that Chen Zhou was his and his family, it was enough.
The rest is unimportant.
The chase came to an end quickly.
At this time, Sun Ce also came to Cao Ying and said: "Cao Sikong, let Yuan Shu escape, how hateful!"
He also had some resentment towards Yuan Shu.
When Sun Jian just died, he was lonely and helpless and had to seek refuge with Yuan Shu. The imperial seal was snatched away, and his life under the shelter of others was not very comfortable. He had to endure it for so many years.
Now he can take revenge, which is why he can respond decisively to the emperor's call.
"Perhaps Yuan Shu's life should not be cut off."
Cao Cao did not tell Sun Ce about Yuan Shu's death, but added: "Bo Fu responded to the emperor's call to punish the treacherous officials and traitors. When I return to Xudu, I will definitely ask for credit for Bo Fu."
"Cao Sikong is so polite!"
Sun Ce also knew that it no longer mattered whether he asked for credit or not.
The emperor is like this now.
Huainan has been almost completely annexed by Cao Cao. Sun Ce knows it, but his current strength is not enough to compete with Cao Cao and compete for Huainan. However, he is confident that he can take over the Jiangdong area and most of Yangzhou.
These are impossible, give them to Cao Cao.
He was not afraid that Cao Cao would lead his troops to fight. There were dense river networks in the Jiangdong area, and Cao Cao and the others were in the north. The northerners were not good at water warfare, so he still had confidence in this.
Cao Cao has no idea about the south yet.
Chen Zhou has ideas, but he will not take action against the South until he solves Yuan Shao.
Soon, it was dawn.
Cao Cao entered the city and controlled everything in Jiangting City.
Huainan and other places had thus changed their owners. Cao Cao occupied this place instead of being a guest. Even if Sun Ce and the others crossed the river, they had captured many cities on the Yangtze River and had to hand them over at this time.
"Cao Cao is powerful and comes in the name of the Emperor."
"We don't need to compete with Cao Cao for Huainan for the time being. We can give it to him. Moreover, our strength and position in Jiangdong are not stable enough. The four surnames of Wu County and other aristocratic families need our appeasement."
"If we start a war with Cao Cao at this time, it will be detrimental to us."
"Huainan and other places, wait until we stabilize everything, and come to Cao Cao to ask for it if we have the opportunity in the future."
Zhou Yu gave Sun Ce a suggestion.
Zhang Zhao, the counselor next to him, has similar ideas. Currently, he has no conditions to compete with Cao Cao for Huainan.
After Jiangting was broken and Yuan Shu ran away, Zhang Zhao did not recommend that Sun Ce continue to pursue him. They had to retreat as soon as possible to appease the aristocratic families in Yangzhou and deal with Liu Biao, because Cao Cao would never let Yuan Shu go.
Liu Biao also participated in the crusade against Yuan Shu, but he did not go too far.
Probably the main purpose is to grab territory.
He took the opportunity to rob several cities, all within Yangzhou, which made Sun Ce very unhappy.
Sun Jian also died at the hands of Huang Zu.
Huang Zu was also a member of Liu Biao.
No matter what, Liu Biao had to deal with it.
Therefore, the day after taking Jiangting, Sun Ce voluntarily abandoned Huainan, came to say goodbye to Cao Cao, and led his troops back to Jiangdong.
"Sun Bofu is a smart man. He knows that he should not continue to stay in Huainan, nor can he continue to fight for Huainan. Stabilizing Yangzhou is more important than Huainan." Guo Jia looked at their leaving figures and said.
Cao Cao said: "Sun Jian is a fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. Sun Bofu is not much different. He left on his own initiative and saved us a lot of trouble."
After a pause, he asked: "Where does Duzhi think Yuan Shu's coffin will be taken by his son, Yan Xiang, Huang Yi, Yuan Yin and others?"
It was obvious that Boss Cao was going to continue his pursuit.
He had to see Yuan Shu's body to feel at ease.
Yuan Shu's son and others must still be controlled, and they must not be given a chance to take revenge.
"Yan Xiang and the others are leading people to the west."
"I heard that Yuan Shu has a good relationship with Liu Xun, the governor of Lujiang. If I guessed correctly, he should have gone to Lujiang."
Chen Zhou analyzed it based on the history he knew.
In fact, Yuan Yin and others really took Yuan Shu's body to Lujiang. Later, the person who attacked Lujiang was Sun Ce, and captured all Yuan Shu's sons and daughters.
It's different now. Without Sun Ce, nothing would happen, and the people who finally hit Lujiang would be Cao Cao and the others.
"Lujiang?"
Guo Jia agreed: "It's possible."
Cao Cao said: "Tomorrow morning, we will send troops to Lujiang!"
He didn't even check, trusting Chen Zhou's magical judgment.
Yan Xiang and the others had just escaped not long ago, and Cao Cao hadn't checked where the people had gone. However, Cao Cao wanted to attack Lujiang County. This place was at the junction of Yangzhou and Jingzhou, and it bordered Cao Cao's territory. It was an important place. county.
As long as we take it down, it will be much more convenient to go south and cooperate with Huainan.
The next day.
Cao Cao led his troops and set out for Lujiang.
When they were approaching Lujiang, Liu Xun from Lujiang panicked, but before Cao Cao could lead his troops to fight, he directly sent Yuan Yao and others, as well as Yuan Shu's coffin, out of the city to surrender.
"Yuan Gongli, I didn't expect that you would end up in this situation."
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shu's coffin and sighed with emotion.
They used to be friends and had grown up together. Seeing the old friends disappear like this, I still felt very sad.
Liu Bei came out of the army and said, "This is the fate that a rebellious traitor should have. Congratulations to Cao Sikong for pacifying a treasonous traitor for the imperial court."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said modestly: "This is also Xuande's credit. How can I take the credit? What are Xuande's plans next?"
Liu Bei said: "I am going to Xudu to see Your Majesty. According to seniority, I am still His Majesty's uncle."
How could Cao Cao not know what his intention was when he wanted to go to Xudu?
However, thinking that Chen Zhou's self-confidence could solve Liu Bei's scourge, he did not care about Liu Bei for the time being, and solemnly said: "Xuande is the emperor's uncle. When you arrive in Xudu, work with me to pacify the world. The Han Dynasty will soon be pacified."
"That's natural!"
Liu Bei laughed.
Chen Zhou looked at them and murmured in his heart, these two are both movie stars.
Hypocrisy is really powerful.
However, Liu Bei also glanced at Chen Zhou and wondered in his heart, how can he get rid of this threat that he is unwilling to use for himself?
