Chapter 45-Yuan Yao: Is Sun Ce Dead?
Yuan Yao's victorious army was warmly welcomed by the people of Wan City.
In the beginning, the people of Wan City were still uneasy.
Many people did not have much confidence in this Emperor of Zhong Country who had suddenly appeared. After all, the one who had come to attack Wan City was the famous Little Overlord of Jiangdong.
After witnessing the battle between Yuan Yao and Sun Ce outside the city, the people of Wan City were no longer afraid of the little tyrant of River East.
This so-called little tyrant of River East had already been beaten into a dog.
His Majesty was the true overlord of the world.
Yuan Yao looked at the people on both sides of the street who were welcoming him and nodded his head in satisfaction.
In this chaotic world, a lord who could ensure peace would be supported by the people under his rule.
For example, Liu Zhang of Ba Shu was weak and incompetent. He controlled the largest province in the world, but he could not even deal with Zhang Lu. It was no wonder that his subordinates, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, sold him out.
After all, no one wanted to follow an incompetent lord who had no future.
Now that he had defeated the insufferably arrogant little tyrant Sun Ce, he had established the image of an invincible god of war in the hearts of the people of Wan City. It could be said that he had completely controlled Wan City.
After a celebratory banquet was held in the prefect's manor, Yuan Yao left Xu Shu behind to discuss military matters in the inner hall.
"Yuanzhi, if Sun Ce suddenly dies this time, will River East fall into chaos?”
"Can we take the opportunity to attack River East?”
Yuan Yao asked his military advisor Xu Shu.
"Your Majesty, Sun Ce's arm was cut off by Your Majesty and he was shot by an arrow. He probably won't live long.”
"But even if Sun Ce dies, there is still Zhou Yu in River East.”
"Even if there is a rebellion in River East, with Zhou Yu's ability, he can quickly quell it.”
"Moreover, there are elite navy troops guarding the Yangtze River defense line in Jiangdong. We only have a few thousand Lujiang navy soldiers that have just been incorporated. I'm afraid we're no match for the Jiangdong navy.”
"Therefore, I'm afraid it's difficult to conquer River East in one battle. Your Majesty may have to plan slowly.”
Xu Shu calmly analyzed and cupped his hands.
"That's right. Although Sun Ce is about to die, he still has a super commander like Zhou Yu.”
"Moreover, the person who will take over Sun Ce's position is probably the green-eyed Sun Quan. Although this kid's battle skills are terrible, and his 100,000 men were defeated by Zhang Liao's 800 men, he himself was almost captured alive.”
"He suffered heavy casualties in the past few attacks on Hefei, and later generations even earned him the title of Sun Shiwan.”
"However, Sun Quan is very good at employing people. Apart from Zhou Yu, the other four Commanders of Dong Wu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun, were all personally promoted by him.”
"It can be said that the battles he personally commanded were basically defeated, but the battles he sent people to command were almost all won.”
"Therefore, although Sun Quan wasn't a pioneer, he was an excellent protector. It was in his hands that the hegemony of River East developed into the empire, and he had one third of the world.”
"No wonder Cao Cao said that his son should be like Sun Zhongmou. He probably hoped that his Cao Clan would have a leader like Sun Quan.”
Yuan Yao rubbed his chin and pondered.
Xu Shu saw that Yuan Yao was a little distracted, so he reminded him,
"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to confirm whether Sun Ce is dead or not.”
"Only after confirming Sun Ce's life and death can we make the next step of our plan. Otherwise, everything will just be empty talk.”
Yuan Yao immediately came to his senses.
"That's right. If that kid Sun Ce is lucky enough to meet a divine doctor and not die, then my efforts will be in vain.”
Thinking of this, Yuan Yao cast a look of approval at Xu Shu.
"Yuan Zhi is right. I will immediately send more scouts and spies to the Wu army to gather information. We must confirm Sun Ce's life and death.”
…………
At this moment, in the Wu Army camp.
The atmosphere was gloomy.
Zhou Yu had ordered the news of Sun Ce's illness to be sealed.
However, many Wu soldiers had witnessed Sun Ce's arm being cut off by Yuan Yao on the battlefield. They also learned that Sun Ce had been shot by an arrow.
"With such a heavy injury, even if my lord is extraordinary, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive.”
"My lord, Sun Jian, was a hero all his life, but he died a tragic death. My lord is a young hero, but now he will probably die young.”
"Could it be that all the lords of the Sun family have such short lives?”
"Where should we go?"
Many soldiers could not help but sigh inwardly, their eyes filled with confusion.
