Sun Ce ordered someone to cut off Huang Zu's head, and after sacrificing Xu Kun, Ling Cao, Deng Dang and other soldiers, he wanted to drink it to the Jiangxia counties.

Suddenly, a scout came to report that there was an army coming to Xiakou from Anlu. Looking at the banner from afar, it turned out to be Cao Jun.

Sun Ce did not dare to slack off, and was busy leading the three armed forces to war. Before long, a large army poured into the city, and the general was that Cao Ren. When Cao Ren arrived, he shouted to the city, "Who is in the city?" ”

Sun Ce appeared at the head of the city and said, "Who is under the city?" ”

A small colonel beside Cao Ren smiled angrily and said: "The general of my family is Sikong, Yanzhou Mu and Yuzhou Mu, and Linju Marquis Cao Gong is the general. How dare children be unreasonable? ”

Sun Ce let out an expressionless sigh and said, "I am the general of the Broken Captives, and Sun Bofu, the Marquis of Duting." Since you are under Cao Sikong, why don't you come to see you? ”

Sun Ce was only in his twenties at this time, extremely young, and it was understandable that the school didn't know him. After listening to Sun Ce's words, I didn't know what to do for a while. Cao Ren scolded in his heart, it was all caused by Yuan Shao's indiscriminate sealing of officials and wishes.

Cao Cao and Sun Ce were both nominally still vassals of the Zhaoning Son of Heaven established by Yuan Shao. Since the same hall is a minister, Sun Ce asked the generals of the Cao army to come forward to pay their respects, but he was not wrong.

Cao Ren didn't hear it, he immediately bowed his hand to Sun Ce, and said, "I don't know why Sun Poyu is here?" ”

Sun Ce said: "Huang Zu has a grudge against my family, and now I will take revenge." ”

Cao Ren asked again: "I don't know that Huang Zu?" ”

Sun Ce waved his hand, and then used a rod to pick up Huang Zu's head, hanging it outside the city, Sun Ce smiled: "This fang is dead, my hand is also." ”

Cao Ren was shocked when he heard this, he also knew how difficult this Huang Zu was. Who would have thought that not long after Huang Zucai retreated from Anlu, he would die at the hands of Sun Ce. This Sun Ce seems to be difficult to deal with. The matter must be reported to the lord first.

Cao Ren didn't dare to make a mistake, so he led his troops to retreat, but it was the flying cavalry who reported the situation in Jiangxia to Cao Cao.

Sun Ce was also relieved to see Cao Jun retreating, he fought a big battle with Huang Zu, although he destroyed Huang Zu, his own losses were also a lot. If Cao Jun didn't care about coming by force, he was afraid that he would have to retreat first. Now that Cao Jun is gone, the next step is to slowly figure it out.

Cao Cao received the report that Sun Ce led troops to attack Jiangxia and killed Huang Zu, and he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's difficult to compete with Qi'er." ”

At this time, it was a critical juncture in the battle for Jingzhou, and he had no intention of provoking Yangzhou again, so as not to add a big enemy to himself. Anyway, the goal he sent to fight Jiangxia was to cut off Liu Biao's arm. Now that the goal has been achieved, and it also occupies several counties in Jiangxia, what is he not satisfied with.

As for Sun Ce, as long as he stepped up his speed, captured Nanyang, and advanced to Xiangyang. Are you still afraid that Sun Ce will dare to fight with him? If he lets him do it this time, he will naturally know that he will come back.

So he said to the left and right: "Order, so that Cao Xiu and Li Tong will guard Anlu." Cao Ren and others also studied in Nanyang. In addition, when he heard that Yangzhou Mu and Wucheng Housun were seriously injured, they prepared a cart of medicinal materials and sent an envoy to Xiakou. ”

Cao Ren and others received the general's order, and then returned to the army one after another, and obeyed Cao Cao's dispatch to continue to increase the troops in Nanyang. Liu Biao was in Xiangyang, and suddenly heard the news that Liu Qi, Huang Jie, and Su Fei had arrived, and he couldn't help but sit on the chair, sighed, and sighed: "Huang Zu is dead!" ”

Sure enough, after Liu Qi and the others came in with Huang Jie, Huang Zhu bowed down the stairs and cried loudly, choking up and speechless. Liu Biao stepped down, picked up Huang Jie, held his hand and said: "Virtuous nephew, my father's difficulty, I am also very heartbroken. But with Liu Jingsheng one day, I will not let the Ruhuang clan suffer a loss. ”

Huang Shot was on the way, so he had to report that Xiakou City was broken, knowing that his father was only afraid that he would die in the city. Along the way, I couldn't help but be miserable, and finally got to Xiangyang, where can I stop the sadness. At this time, after listening to Liu Biao's comfort, my heart was a little relieved, but the sadness was even more uncontrollable.

Liu Biao didn't blame him for his gaffe, and let him cry for a long time. Huang Zu is his right-hand man, Huang Zu died in battle, Jiangxia was lost, not to mention, the voices in the city that were forcibly suppressed by him were afraid that they would raise their heads again.

Liu Qi was next to him, carefully bringing the Jiangxia war to Liu Biao one by one. After a long time, Huang Jian stopped his grief and bowed to Liu Biao: "When the minister heard the bad news, his heart hurt like a knife, so he lost his temper, and I hope the lord will forgive me." ”

Liu Biao saw that Huang Shot was covered with dust, with tears on his face, and said softly: "The love of humanity is also nature." Tired all the way, the virtuous nephew and the house have a good rest. ”

As a minister, Huang Zu naturally has another house in Xiangyang. Huang Jie and Su Fei said goodbye to Liu Biao and went back to the house. But there was no rest, and the mourning began as soon as possible.

At this time, it was known in the city that Huang Zu had died in battle, and Jiangxia had lost, so he couldn't help but make a big noise. There are also people who fanned the flames in the middle, and for a while, Jingzhou was difficult to defeat the Cao and Sun coalition forces, and the call to surrender to protect the people was very loud.

Liu Biao talked with Liu Qi for a while, feeling that his energy was low, but in his heart he sighed that there were fewer and fewer people available around him. These days, with his idle Cai Mao, the Kuai brothers also said that they were sick and disappeared. Hey. It's really a wind that knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the honest minister. He looked at Liu Qi and thought to himself, no matter what happened, his son would never betray him. As soon as he thought of this, his gaze at Liu Qi became more and more gentle.

Sun Ce was in Xiakou, received a letter and gift from Cao Cao, opened it and saw that Cao Cao meant to congratulate him on Sun Bofu's removal of the enemy. He also said that at present, the two should work together to attack Liu Biao, the "unminister". Because Liu Biao worships the Son of Heaven in Chang'an. After defeating Liu Biao, the two families can share Jingzhou. In the end, it was Brother Wenwentai who had been ill recently, so he sent medicinal materials to express his intentions.

Sun Ce pursed the corners of his mouth, Jingzhou, I won't rob it myself, who wants to share Jingzhou with you. Suddenly, he thought about it again, thought about something, and called Cheng Pu: "Cheng Gong, since Huang Zu has been captured, I want you to go back and report to my father." How is it? ”

Sun Ce wanted to go back by himself, but he was afraid that he would leave, so Cao Jun took the opportunity to attack. It's best to send Cheng Pu back. He is old and serious, and he is also his father's confidant and veteran. It couldn't be better. Seeing that Cheng Pu agreed, he wrote a letter by hand, and handed it to Cheng Pu along with Cao Cao's letter and gifts, and asked him to take it back with him.

Cheng Pu went back to Xunyang. Go to see Sun Jian. Sun Jian has improved a little under careful recuperation, but he is still emaciated, and he often coughs because he hurts his lungs. Seeing Cheng Pulai, he smiled and said: "Demou is here, there will be good news!" ”

Cheng Pubai said: "Back to the lord, the young general has broken through the summer mouth and beheaded Huang Zu!" ”

When Sun Jian heard this, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and wanted to laugh as before, but he couldn't stop coughing. When the attendant behind him saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to pat his back and rub his chest, and it took a while before he recovered.

Cheng Pu waited for Sun Jian to slow down a little, then raised a wooden box and said, "Lord, Huang Zu's head is here!" ”

Sun Jian opened it and saw that the lifelike head inside was not Huang Zu, who was it, and he said happily: "Old horseman, do you have today?" ”

Cheng Pu presented the letters of Sun Ce and Cao Cao and other things, and stood on the side. Wait for Sun Jian's orders.
