    After Sun Ce led his army into Shouchun City, Shouchun City was captured until night, but when he finally clicked, he found that Yuan Shu was missing.

    After some questioning, I found out that Yuan Shu had escaped through the east gate.

    "What?"

    Sun Ce was furious and captured Shouchun, but Yuan Shu was not captured. What does this mean?  He said angrily: "Why would you let him escape from there?"

    Sun Ce was also very angry at this time. He angrily questioned the generals guarding the east gate.

    Those generals did not dare to speak, but turned their eyes to Zhou Yu.

    Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said to Sun Ce, "I deliberately let go of Dongmen to let him escape."

    "Reason?"

    If it were anyone else, Sun Ce would definitely kill him, but if it was Zhou Yu, Sun Ce could suppress his anger. He knew that Zhou Yu must have done this for his own reasons and for his own good.

    But even so, Sun Ce's tone was not necessarily very good.

    Zhou Yu did not answer directly, but asked Sun Ce: "What will you do if you catch Yuan Shu?"

    "What's the point? Kill him." Sun Ce said murderously.

    "Then what?"

    Zhou Yu asked back: "Don't forget Yuan Shu's background."

    "What's so great about having four generations and three princes?"

    Sun Ce sneered at him and said, "You have nothing to rely on because of your background. What's there to be afraid of? What's more, he has arrogated the title of emperor and is already a traitor to the world. What should I be afraid of if I kill a traitor?"

    Zhou Yu explained: "Although Yuan Shu is useless and is now a false emperor and is despised by the world, there are still many disciples and former officials of Yuan Shu. Killing Yuan Shu will alienate those people from us. They are worried that one day you will regard the Yuan family as  Your disciples and old officials will come to settle accounts with them. They will definitely not take refuge in you."

    Sun Ce realized that Zhou Yu was thinking about his future foundation.

    "Gong Jin has foresight, and Bo Fu is lucky." After Sun Ce understood, he bowed deeply to his good friend.

    Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu: "However, if Yuan Shu is not dead, won't it be difficult to evaluate the Huainan area?"

    "Do not worry."

    Zhou Yu said confidently: "Yuan Shu is cruel and unkind, and his men will not be able to tolerate it for a long time. When the time comes, Yuan Shu will naturally betray his relatives. At that time, Yuan Shu will be desperate, and then we will take action"

    Shouchun City was captured by Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu fled to Linhuai in the south of Huainan. Linhuai is on the lower reaches of the Huaihe River and on the south bank of Hongze Lake. It has an excellent geographical environment and rich water resources. The people here are richer than those in Shouchun.

    After Yuan Shu fled to Xuyi, he saw that Sun Ce did not pursue him, so he felt at ease again and enjoyed himself. The taxes collected in Xuyi could still support him for a while.

    His current mentality is to muddle along, live one day as long as he can, and enjoy the day he can. As for revenge, he no longer thinks about it.

    As for Sun Ce, after being reminded by Zhou Yu, he temporarily adopted a placement mode against Yuan Shu and did not attack Yuan Shu, letting Yuan Shu continue to commit suicide.

    He was ready to consolidate Shouchun's rule. Yuan Shu had done too much damage to Shouchun. The people were displaced, the land was abandoned, and there was no benefit at all for a period of time.

    But Shouchun¡¯s potential is also huge. The land is fertile, the water resources are abundant, and the climate is pleasant. Once restored, the harvest will be extremely gratifying.

    Just when Sun Ce was planning to move some people from Jiangdong to fill Shouchun, Cao Cao came.

    To be precise, it was Xiahou Dun who brought people to kill him.

    After Xiahou Dun was tricked by Gongsun Zan in Xia Cai, he was always unconvinced and wanted to take revenge. However, Gongsun Zan did not give Xiahou Dun a chance. He deployed heavy troops on the border and guarded him tightly, like a shrinking turtle, which made Xiahou Dun  Nothing to say.

    At this time, the news that Shouchun City had been captured reached Xiahou Dun's ears.

    After all, Shouchun City is not far from Xiacai. It can be said that if there is any slight disturbance in Shouchun City, Xiacai will know about it.

    Although Cao Cao did not give clear instructions, as Cao Cao's confidant general, Xiahou Dun knew that Cao Cao had long wanted to bring Shouchun under his rule.

    Therefore, after learning that Sun Ce had captured Shouchun City, Xiahou Dun began to plan his actions.

    Sun Ce, who captured Shouchun, did not relax his vigilance towards Xiahou Dun, who conquered Cai. However, Xiahou Dun took the initiative to show goodwill and sent a letter to Sun Ce in the name of Cao Cao, expressing his appreciation for his crusade against Yuan Shu.  At the same time, the spies were restrained from coming to Shouchun to inquire.

    Xiahou Dun??The goodwill made Sun Ce relax his vigilance, and because Zhou Yu needed to return to Jiangdong for something, Sun Ce temporarily had no capable advisers around him, and no one could see through the real purpose hidden under the goodwill expressed by Xiahou Dun.

    Sun Ce is not yet thirty years old. He is at a young and strong age. It can be said that he is a young man. A young man can lay such a foundation. No matter how humble he is, he still has a little pride in his heart.

    What's more, Sun Ce was not a humble person to begin with. Being praised by Xiahou Dun in such a tone that he pretended to be Cao Cao made him feel happy and proud. From then on, Sun Ce relaxed his vigilance towards Xiahou Dun.

    In addition, Shouchun had just been conquered, and Sun Ce, the lord, needed to be busy with many things, so he quickly forgot about Xiahou Dun who had conquered Cai.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
