After Ding Feng led the army to chase for twenty miles, he finally caught up with Yuan Shu and his party's defeated army. Yuan Shu saw Ding Feng's army chasing him, and asked Zhang Xun to lead the army to stop him, and he fled under thousands of guards with several officials. Yuan Shu also knew in his heart that infantry could not escape the cavalry, and it was better to leave the infantry to stop him than to let Ding Feng eliminate it. It was important to lead the only thousands of cavalry to escape.

Ding Feng's army slashed and killed the soldiers left by Yuan Shu in a shattered manner. Zhang Xun slapped his horse and fought with Ding Feng for more than 20 rounds. In the end, Ding Feng was killed by Ding Feng. After Zhang Xun was killed, his soldiers immediately knelt down and surrendered.

Just as Yuan Shu ran away halfway to Runan, the soldiers were exhausted and complaining, Xu Sheng led 10,000 Flying Bear Iron Cavalry to attack. Although Yuan Shu had thousands of cavalry under him, his combat power was not at the same level as Flying Bear Iron Cavalry, and even war horses were not at the same level. With the disadvantage of weapons and equipment, Yuan Shu and his party were completely annihilated; Yuan Shu fell down in the chaos and was stepped into minced meat.

Yan Xiang and Yang Hong, a counselor under Yuan Shu, were captured. After seeing Yuan Shu’s death, more than 2,000 soldiers knelt down and surrendered. What made Xu Sheng the most happy was that he was running away. Since Yuan Shu brought a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.

After Yan Xiang and Yang Hong were captured, Yang Hong asked: "May I ask General Xu, did the 50,000 troops of Lei Bo, Yang Feng and Chen Lan be wiped out by you?"

Xu Sheng laughed and said, "Yes! All 50,000 troops were annihilated, Lei Bo, Yang Feng and Chen Lan were all killed."

Yan Xiang and Yang Hong sighed after hearing this and never said anything again.

After Shouchun captured, Yuan Shu died, and other places in the jurisdiction of Shu Yuan Shu also opened the city gates to surrender. In just a few days, Zhang Liao's army completely controlled Yuan Shu's territory.

Zhang Liao's army stayed in Shouchun for proper rest and rest, and at the same time, to wait for the arrival of internal officials; before the arrival of internal officials, Zhang Liao and others had to properly resettle the production and life of the people. Zhang Liao asked his subordinates to post notices for the people everywhere and allocate the food and grass to the people. These tasks were very tedious, but they still had to be done.

More than ten days later, the internal affairs officials arrived, and Zhang Liao immediately led a large army to kill Xia Pi City. There was no plan to attack Xia Pi, but when Cao Cao joined forces with the princes to attack Lu Ning, although Lu Ning was not in the jurisdiction, after ten days of arguing with the civil and military officials under Lu Ning, Cai Yan appeared at the venue with Lu Ning's son Lu Yue.

Cai Yan said: "Donalds, my husband is not in Jinyang now, and the military and police are facing a critical moment of life and death. The dukes do not want to face the enemy and protect the safety of the people, but they quarreled here all day long. If they continue to quarrel like this, Cao Cao's army will come to the front."

Zhang Yang said: "Madam, we also know that the situation is urgent, and it is not that we are going to quarrel; it is just that the lord has no orders to fight back, so we can only defend on the spot."

Cai Yan said: "Donalds, when my family is here, do you think about how you will face the enemy? Will you allow Cao Cao and other princes to attack us so unscrupulously? Here, Yue and I will take the enemy quickly. Even if there is any mistake, I will bear the responsibility."

Guan Ning had long wanted to stop the chaotic quarrels, but was a little worried about interfering in the military, so he didn't say anything. Now, after hearing Cai Yan's words, he immediately said: "Fengxiao, since Madam said that, your General Staff Department immediately issued an order to meet the enemy."

Guo Jia and other military personnel had already formulated a combat plan, but the parliament did not approve it and Lu Ning was not here, so he dared to order it easily. Now with Cai Yan's words and Guan Ning's words, it would be a mistake, and he immediately issued an order to send troops to counterattack.

Speaking of Sun Ce in Jiangdong, after receiving the imperial edict from Cao Cao, Sun Ce felt excited. Sun Ce hated Lu Ning very much and was beaten hard by Ling Cao a few years ago, but he kept thinking about hatred in his heart. In addition, Zhou Yu was detained by Lu Ning, which made Sun Ce's hatred for Lu Ning even deeper.

Sun Ce did not think about it and it was caused by himself. If it weren't for Zhou Yu, Sun Ce would probably have perished long ago. Although Zhou Yu was withheld by Lu Ning, Zhou Yu had won a lot of excellent weapons for Sun Ce from Lu Ning. Moreover, in the past two years, Lu Ning has been abide by a three-year contract and has never attacked the Jiangdong area again; thus, Sun Ce was able to successfully conquer the six counties in Jiangdong.

Sun Ce is a very powerful prince. His rise in the past few years is closely related to Sun Ce's strong ability, which is well known to everyone; but Sun Ce's hatred for Lu Ning has always been buried in his heart. Now that he has the opportunity to attack Lu Ning, of course there will be a commotion in his heart, which is very normal.

In Sun Ce's heart, Lu Ning's Lu Dong, the one who attacked Lu Ning, most wanted to obtain were the warships in the Ruxuwu Wharf. Those extremely powerful warships were what Sun Ce wanted to own the most. Zhou Yu proposed to Lu Ning to buy a warship for Sun Ce, but Lu Ning refused and did not let go no matter what Zhou Yu said.

Sun Ce also knew that if he wanted to defeat Lu Ning, he had to own the excellent warships under Lu Ning; in the Jiangnan area, the cavalry had not had a great role, unlike in the northern grasslands, whereas the heroic soldiers played a very important role; while Jiangnan was mainly dominated by hills, not conducive to the heroic soldiers fighting; Sun Ce knew very well that the Lu Ning army was very powerful, but the powerful heroic soldiers were really unable to be used in Jiangnan, which could also limit the strength of Lu Ning's Iron Cavalry.

The warships under Lu Ning have very advanced performance, which is not something that Sun Ce can do, but they are all new warships developed by Ma Jun over ten years; if Sun Ce has such excellent warships, Sun Ce will be able to fight against Lu Ning's army; if there is not such a good warship, it would be a bit foolish to cross the river to attack Lu Ning's army.

Of course, Sun Ce is a little overlord of Jiangdong and a hero of his generation. His abilities are very excellent. Sun Ce will never miss any opportunity to expand his strength and eliminate his opponents. Especially in the battle for hegemony between princes, no prince is mentally retarded, and has good abilities.

Although Sun Ce hated Lu Ning in his heart, he would not lose his big mistakes because of small things. Sun Ce's purpose was to increase his strength, expand his territory quickly, and have the ability to fight against other princes. This is what Sun Ce thought.

Sun Ce called all the civil and military officials under him to the official residence to study. Sun Ce first asked the emperor's imperial edict to everyone, and then said: "If you have any ideas, tell me!"

As the chief strategist under Sun Ce, Zhang Zhao looked at it and said, "Lord, this is Cao Cao's conspiracy. Cao Cao wanted to attack Lu Ning, and asked the emperor to issue an order to send troops to the princes in various places to restrain Lu Ning's army, and Cao Cao made profits from it. We can't put eggs!"

Zhang Zhao has always been a surrender faction. In history, Zhang Zhao has always opposed crossing the river to attack other princes, and has always been holding a strategy of only guarding his homeland; when Cao Cao's army of hundreds of thousands of people is at the time; if it weren't for the persuasion of Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others, Sun Quan would probably bow his head to Cao Cao.

Zhang Hong said: "Lord, we have a three-year agreement with Lu Ning. If we send troops to Lu Ning at this time, we will be untrustworthy and give Lu Ning an excuse to attack our Jiangdong. Jiangdong still needs to develop now, and the supply of grain and grass has not changed substantially. It is not appropriate to attack Lu Ning after it is released."

Zhang Hong was also a surrender faction, and did not cause troops to cross the river. This was the case in ancient times. In general, the civilian officials in Jiangdong were very conservative and only wanted to protect their existing territory, without the ambition or determination to expand.

Cheng Pu said: "Young Master, it is indeed not appropriate to turn against Lu Ning at this time. We have just taken down the six counties of Jiangdong. The soldiers were injured and suffered heavy casualties. The newly-trained soldiers were not trained enough and the weapons and armor were also severely lacking. It would not be too late to send troops in a few years."

Cheng Pu was a general in the Sun Jian period and a very strategic general in the Sun Jian period. After Sun Jian took office, he supported Sun Ce and made great military achievements in the capture of Jiangdong for Sun Ce. He was the leader in the military. No one's status can be compared with Cheng Pu except Sun Ce.

Sun Ce said: "But this is a very good opportunity. We have an excuse to send troops, and we are sending troops under the banner of the emperor. If we miss the opportunity, what excuses should we have to send troops to that boy Lu Ning!"
