Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

The eyes of Guo Jia, Xun You and other counselors who did not speak were also full of hope.

They have decided that as long as they keep offering advice, sooner or later they will be appreciated by the lord.

With full of hope, everyone followed Cao Cao into Shouchun City.

Most of the buildings in the city are still intact, but a small number of residential buildings have been damaged, mainly because the defenders' will to resist is not strong, and most of the people in the city have defected and were led to the inner city, so the outer city has not suffered much damage.

The team continued to move forward, and the soldiers on the road had already started to clean up the corpses. Only the blood remaining on the road showed that the war was tragic.

Arriving at the gate of the inner city, the blood here has already dyed the land brown. It can be seen that this is where the war encountered the most intense resistance.

After passing through the city gate, Cao Cao and others finally came to Yuan Shu's palace, which was still intact at this time.It's just that some utensils are missing, presumably they were stolen by the people who were rushed into the palace.

However, the palace was preserved and was not burned by the angry people. It was thanks to generals like Cao Ren who deliberately led the people to the granary, so that the palace did not suffer more serious damage.

Standing in the palace, Cao Cao asked Han Ze while looking at the superficial symbol of imperial power.

"Taining, what do you think of this palace?"

Han Ze specially looked around, and replied solemnly: "I have only seen it in this life. It is truly magnificent and beautiful. If you can live here in this life, it will be considered complete. No wonder Yuan Shu is lost. in."

After boasting for a while, Cao Cao thought that Han Ze really liked the palace, and was about to tease him for a while but heard it again.

[What's all this, Yuan Shu's aesthetics are too vulgar, why didn't he paint a whole big peony flower on the roof.There is no comparison with those of the Luban Award, they are superficial. 】

Cao Cao...

Luban still has an award?Where did Han Ze see so many things, as well as the 64 famous generals mentioned earlier, he must find time to ask about it later.

After that, Cao Cao began to deal with busy government affairs.

First of all, it is necessary to issue a list to calm the people and inform the people to report and expose the hiding general Yuan Shu. In addition, the taxation of grain merchants, city construction, house repairs, and mine development will all be arranged one by one.

Afterwards, he had to pass the news back to Xudu, show his merits to the emperor, and receive a reward.

I also want to ask for rewards for the soldiers. When I said please reward, Cao Cao had a headache.Every reward was messed up by Han Ze.

Going on like this, the distinction between rewards and punishments is simply a joke.

One after another, one incident after another was arranged continuously, and the counselors also began to be sent to other cities in Yangzhou.As Cao Cao occupied Shouchun, all the counties in Yangzhou offered to surrender, for fear that Cao Cao would hate him if he surrendered too late.

Here, Cao Cao deliberately avoided the city occupied by Sun Ce, and did not say anything about the indivisibility of Yangzhou's territory. It was only a reward for Sun Ce.

After all, in this battle, except for Shouchun, many cities were restrained by Sun Ce.

When Cao Cao fully grasped Shouchun, it was already three days later.

And Liu Bei finally caught up with Yuan Shu and his party on the outskirts of Quyang.

At this time, Yuan Shu no longer had the majesty of any emperor, the dragon robe on his body was damaged in many places, and only a few courtiers and a small number of soldiers remained behind him.

Yuan Shu, who was riding on the horse, was full of resignation, muttering words, not knowing whether he was praying for the blessing of the gods, or cursing the soldiers for their incompetence.

At this moment, a big red-faced man suddenly walked out of the bushes in front of him riding a tall horse with the Qinglong Yanyue Saber in his hand.

One person and one rider stood in front of Yuan Shu's team, the dozens of people suddenly stopped, and no one dared to make a move.

In fact, in the past few days, Liu Bei's chasing army and Yuan Shu's fleeing team have fought several times.

Every time, Yuan Shu and others ended up fleeing in a hurry, and those who were able to fight in the team had already been beheaded by the two generals, one red and one black.

Seeing Guan Yu blocking the way, Yuan Shu immediately laughed.

"I really didn't expect that when the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, I didn't think highly of you three brothers, and cut off your food and grass."

"Unexpectedly, one day, I will be cornered by you three little people."

"It's not us three little people who are killing you, but countless nameless little people. It's the people you deprived of rice, the soldiers you scolded, and the humble scholars you bullied."

Following his voice, Liu Bei's figure slowly appeared behind Yuan Shu's team.

Yuan Shu stared at Liu Bei for a long time, and a puzzled look gradually appeared on his face: "Why are you chasing me? You must know that Cao Cao won't give you another chance after taking Shouchun. Sun Ce also took it. There are many cities, but you didn't get anything."

"No, I got what I needed most."

Yuan Shu was puzzled and looked at Liu Bei waiting for an answer.

Liu Bei said slowly: "You hid the jade seal and made yourself the emperor of the Zhong family. As the fourth generation and third prince of the Han family, you actually made yourself the emperor. I am ashamed for your family. No wonder your direct son is not as good as a concubine."

Yuan Shu hated people who said he was not as good as Yuan Shao the most, and was immediately furious.

But the anger came and went quickly.

In an instant, Yuan Shu's anger dissipated.

"You came after me because of that jade seal, right?"

Liu Bei's heart suddenly moved. No one could ignore the significance of Yuxi, but Liu Bei still remembered his identity.

"I am the Empress of King Jing of Zhongshan, how could your majesty the uncle covet your jade seal?"

Yuan Shu was taken aback for a moment, and seemed to react for a while before bursting out laughing.

"A shoe seller in a market, hahaha, Uncle Dahan Emperor, hahaha, you should know how big the gap is."

"You don't need to remind me, it's just a dragon diving."

After speaking, Liu Bei drew his sword out of its sheath, and the soldiers rushed up behind him. Yuan Shu and others had no power to resist, and they were hacked to death with random knives and cut off their heads.

After taking Yuan Shu's head, the battle is considered complete.

Liu Bei greeted the two brothers: "Second and third brothers, I sent people to greet Jian Yong's soldiers and horses earlier, and they should have been waiting in front of them at this time. After we reconcile with them, we will immediately go north to help Gongsun Zan."

Guan Yu was a little surprised by this decision: "Brother, don't we go to Xuchang to face the saint? Are you paying no attention to the head of Yuan Shu and your status as the emperor's uncle?"

"Of course not, it's just that it's not the best time yet, and Cao Cao's recent behavior is a bit weird. I'm afraid that our three brothers will never come out after entering Xudu."

Zhang Fei yelled: "Hey, just kill it, why can't you get out?"

Liu Bei shook his head and didn't continue the topic, obviously having a premonition that this thing could not be explained clearly to others, not to mention that the audience was still Zhang Fei.

In addition, beheading Yuan Shu's head, regardless of fame or military exploits, is enough to support his future actions.

As for Mian Sheng, Liu Bei believes that there will be a chance sooner or later, and as long as he stands up to the righteousness, even if there is no emperor's edict, he still has the opportunity to unite with people of insight to attack Cao.
