Haiyang City was once the most prosperous city in Xindu County. After Liu's army retreated, Sun Ce's army passed by, Han Zong, the son of Han Dang, led his troops to station him.

Han Zong guarded Haiyang City with great care. Haiyang City was very peaceful, and the people and merchants lived obediently according to Han Zong's instructions and strictly followed various government orders. The first time Han Zong saw such a submissive situation, he thought it was a conspiracy at first. But through learning from previous veterans, Han Zong discovered that Haiyang City was like this. Han Zong was very happy, and if this happened, he would be more confident in guarding Haiyang City.

Haiyang City did not cause trouble for the Korean censorship, and with former veterans as intermediaries, it was very easy for the Korean censorship to manage Haiyang City. Han censorship even felt that if Liu Jun came to attack Haiyang City, he would definitely support him for half a month.

If Han Zong knew that Liu Yu could easily take over Haiyang City, he would not have such great confidence.

Han Zong patrols the Haiyang city wall very dedicatedly and just finds a black spot in his sight. Based on past experience, Han Zong subconsciously thought that it was the enemy's arrival and ordered the entire army to be on guard.

As the black spots continued to expand, the flag of the Eastern Wu finally appeared. The Han Zong did not dare to be careless. After confirming that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu arrived, they knew that they were worried for nothing.

The city gate was wide open, and Han Zong took the lead in going out of the city to welcome Sun Ce.

"I will meet the lord in the end!" Han Zong hurriedly saluted Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu said to Han Zong: "General Han, you will immediately withdraw all the troops in Haiyang City, and we will retreat immediately."

"Ah?" Han Zong didn't expect that he would hear this order.

When Han Zong raised his head to ask further, he saw that Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and his soldiers in the Eastern Wu were covered in dust. Some soldiers in the Eastern Wu were still injured. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had blood stains after drying.

Without further ado, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others must have experienced a fierce battle. With Zhou Yu's order, Han Zong knew that Sun Ce was defeated. Only in this way could Zhou Yu ask Han Zong to retreat with all his troops.

As for why Zhou Yu gave the order instead of Sun Ce, Han Zong felt that Sun Ce had no face to issue an order to retreat after his failure. Of course, Zhou Yu did this embarrassing thing.

Han Zong immediately stood up, turned around and entered Haiyang City to organize troops.

Sun Ce looked at the prosperous Haiyang City in front of him and felt a lot of emotion. Sun Ce had fought for so many years, winning and losing, but when he fought against Liu Jun, he had won less and lost more. Now he has been gambled all his money, and Sun Ce has been shaken about the entire future.

Zhou Yu discovered Sun Ce's abnormality. As a brother and subordinate, he had to find Sun Ce's confidence, so he said, "Bo Fu, are you thinking that our army will retreat all the way. Is it very likely that we can't turn over?"

Sun Ce was touched by Zhou Yu, nodded, and said, "That's right. Looking back on the years, I have always won less and lost more for Liu Jun. Now I have been killed by Liu Yu. God knows whether I can turn defeat into victory this time."

Zhou Yu chuckled and said, "Does Bofu want to give up? This is not Sun Bofu I know."

"If I gave up, I would have surrendered long ago! Well, Liu's army is strong, and our army is originally weak. It is not my fault to be beaten like this." Sun Ce thought a little more easily.

Zhou Yu was relieved. The most important thing was Sun Ce. Once Sun Ce was no longer confident, what else would they fight? Just surrender.

After waiting outside Haiyang City for a while, Han Zong brought out all the Eastern Wu soldiers in Haiyang City. The smart Han Zong even prepared enough food for Sun Ce and the others for three days in case of emergency.

Haiyang City has just such a little food. If it weren't for the worry of losing people's hearts, Han Zong would have wanted to take away all the food in Haiyang City.

Haiyang City is a rare city in Xindu County. Although it needs to be given up for some special reasons, Sun Ce would not have to destroy the entire Haiyang City. Building such a prosperous city is made of the people's wealth and folk paste from the Eastern Wu.

After joining the troops of Han Zong's troops, Sun Ce ordered the army to continue to evacuate. The direction of their retreat was Danyang County. However, in order to get Liu Jun to catch up, Sun Ce also deliberately slowed down in addition to sending scouts to inquire about Liu Jun. If Sun Ce ran too fast and Liu Yu could not catch up, who would know if Liu Yu would change his mind to attack Wu County. After Xindu County, Wu County was after Xindu City. After Liu Jun took down Xindu City, there would be no other strong city to restrict Liu Jun.

On the other hand, under the leadership of Liu Yu, Cao Cao and others, Liu Jun continued to speed up his pursuit of Sun Ce.

In fact, Cao Cao also gave Liu Yu some advice on what Sun Ce was worried about.

During the march, Cao Cao said to Liu Yu: "Boxuan, Xindu County has no other dangerous cities that can block our army, and the road to Wu County is even more unobstructed. Why didn't our army directly attack Wu County and choose to pursue Sun Ce?"

Liu Yu also knew that it was easy to attack Wujun, but he paid more attention to Sun Ce.

"Meng De, what do you think of Sun Ce?" Liu Yu asked Cao Cao back.

Cao Cao replied: "Sun Ce is brave but strategic, resolute and sleek. Sun Wentai gave birth to a good son."

Cao Cao and Sun Jian are also of the same generation. What he means is that no matter how powerful Sun Ce is, he can only be from his son's generation.

"You still want to take advantage of Sun Ce, but I really don't cultivate it. But in my opinion, Sun Ce is the most powerful young man in the world. If he was born in the royal family, it would be unimaginable. Think about it, he could sweep the entire Jiangdong with just a few thousand soldiers. A young man who has no territory under his command has made a world with his own efforts. I admire this ability. Sun Ce was defeated by Sun Ce. Even if we occupy all the Eastern Wu, we did not kill or capture Sun Ce. Sun Ce will be a world-shaking existence in Eastern Wu in the future. The national treasury is empty. After taking down Eastern Wu, the soldiers will be tired of war. If Sun Ce makes any noise, what else can I use to deal with him. Therefore, for the long-term peace and stability in the future, I must capture Sun Ce. No matter how bad we are, we will kill him!" Liu Yu said firmly.

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Cao Cao fell into deep thought.

In fact, Sun Ce was of great significance in Eastern Wu. He still insisted on it for a day, so the people of Eastern Wu could not completely surrender to the court. Sun Ce's prestige in Eastern Wu was too great! Cao Cao's mind assumed that a large army captured Eastern Wu, while Sun Ce led his troops to hide in the mountains and fields of Eastern Wu, which was really difficult to encircle and suppress. The final result may be that Liu's army spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but still could not solve Sun Ce. To be more serious, Sun Ce could even use up Liu's army in Eastern Wu to death.

"It's Boxuan, you think about Zhou Quan!" Cao Cao agreed with Liu Yu's idea. "It's just that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu retreat this time seem a bit abnormal. If our army rashly pursues him, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"

"Danger? I've thought about it! But compared to taking Sun Ce, I'm still willing to take this risk." Liu Yu said frankly.

Cao Cao didn't say anything anymore. He knew that he had said everything he should say. Liu Yu was the emperor and there was nothing he could do if he couldn't listen. Moreover, Cao Cao also agreed with Liu Yu's view very much.

Liu Jun was very fast, and they took a lot of time to return to Haiyang City. At this time, some people dressed in the people ran out of Haiyang City. They came to Li Gui and reported on the situation after Sun Ce came to Haiyang City.

Without further questions, you will know that this is the "Dark Division" spy that Li Gui placed in Haiyang City before leaving. Before leaving Haiyang City, Li Gui arranged his subordinates to be in the city and prepared to use it at a critical moment.

Just like before, Li Gui even felt that after Sun Ce retreating, there was a very high possibility that he would occupy Haiyang City and hold on to him. The subordinates he arranged could play a role. Unfortunately, the reports from his spies made Li Gui very disappointed. Sun Ce did not even enter the city, so Han Zong took all his troops away.

Li Gui lost the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and reported to Liu Yuhui a little bit of a pity: "Your Majesty, according to the spy, Sun Ce had arrived in Haiyang City before, but did not enter the city. The guard Han Zong retreated all his troops and horses to join Sun Ce and headed towards Danyang County."

Cao Cao had long seen some people dressed in the service of the people coming to report the news to Li Gui. He thought this was Liu Yu's secret move and thought to himself: "Bo Xuan is really, I'm hiding such a thing from me."

Then Liu Yu's next words made Cao Cao dispel what he thought.

"Zhongyun, you kid actually arranged people without hiding me. Are you bullying the king?" Liu Yu's words scared Li Gui directly.

Li Gui knelt directly on the ground and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, I will not dare to deceive the king if I give you ten thousand courage. But I saw that Your Majesty was worried, so I moved my mind and thought of giving Your Majesty a surprise. I will never dare to deceive the king. Please forgive me!"

Cao Cao blurted out and said, "So it was your kid who did it!"

Li Gui didn't dare to speak anymore. He felt that Cao Cao was putting in trouble.

Cao Cao would not have known that he had been misunderstood by Li Gui.

Liu Yu snorted coldly. Such things that were out of his control would never happen. Fortunately, Li Gui was good at using his intentions, and Liu Yu could not find a reason to punish him.

"Get up! If you dare to do this next time, you will definitely be killed!" Liu Yu waved his hand and asked Li Gui to leave.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Guiru was pardoned and retreated obediently.

The reason why Liu Yu scolded Li Gui in public was because Li Gui had already mastered the "Dark Division" and did some dark side things. Today, Li Gui dared to hide it from Liu Yu, and in the future he would have greater courage to do something extraordinary. Liu Yu did not want the "Dark Division" to become too big and became an existence that restricts imperial power.

Liu Yu immediately asked Dian Wei to bring the map and observe it carefully.

Cao Cao also approached and looked at the map.

Liu Yu said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, it seems that Sun Ce chose the decisive place to win in Danyang County."

When Sun Ce didn't go anywhere, he went to Danyang County, Liu Yu could naturally think of this.

Cao Cao thought so, but he was very confused and said, "There are Fengxian and others in Danyang County. Isn't Sun Ce afraid of being attacked by our army on both sides? Bo Xuan, we must be careful, Sun Ce has a lot of plans."

Liu Yu put away the map and said seriously: "He, Sun Ce, has planned such a big show, how can I refuse? He ordered the entire army to continue pursuing Sun Ce."

After receiving Liu Yu's order, Liu Jun began to pursue him.

At the same time, Liu Yu called Li Gui and said a few words in his ear. Li Gui turned around and made arrangements.

When Cao Cao saw Liu Yu's actions, he said a little dissatisfiedly: "Boxuan, do you have other arrangements? Can you tell me?"

Liu Yu smiled at Cao Cao like this and said, "You Cao Mengde, you actually want to know my thoughts. Strictly speaking, you are very disrespectful!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Yu up and down, and said with disdain, "Okay. If you don't say it, don't say it. I'm also worried that the arrangements you made are inappropriate. Anyway, you are the emperor, so you can do whatever you want."

Seeing this, Liu Yu felt that it was okay to let Cao Cao know, so he approached Cao Cao and said what he said to Li Gui again in his ear.

After hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Have you seen it long ago?"

Liu Yu shook his head gently and said, "It's not that I can see it. But if I do, I'm just a chance."

Cao Cao glanced at Liu Yu deeply, and he was increasingly unable to see through Liu Yu.

"Don't look at me with that look. I'm not a married wife." Liu Yu was very disgusted with Cao Cao's eyes.

Cao Cao was damaged by Liu Yu and cursed in his heart: "What's the point of saying this? Do you need to say it?"

Of course, such words cannot be said in front of others. Cao Cao can only keep them in his heart.

However, Liu Yu didn't know that Cao Cao was scolding him, and even thought that Cao Cao was being told by him, using silence to cover up the embarrassment.

Sun Ce has huge plans in progress, and Liu Yu has also made a preliminary judgment.

The two started a mental battle, and they didn't know who the final outcome was.

On the land of Eastern Wu, Sun Ce led the remnants to Danyang County, and walked and stopped along the way to lure Liu Yu to pursue him. Sun Ce made a slight stop in the cities along the way, with the purpose of creating an illusion for Liu Yu. The illusion of the illusion of the Eastern Wu army being exhausted.

Liu Yu was just following Sun Ce's heart and led Liu Jun to pursue him continuously.

The leaders of the two armies had their own thoughts! After some rushing, Sun Ce took the lead in entering the land of Danyang County.

The distance between the two armies was constantly decreasing, and the shadow of the Eastern Wu army could be seen by the vanguard troops of Liu's army.

As pioneering generals, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan hurriedly accelerated and fed back the information to the central army behind him.
