Sun Ce's army broke through several cities and occupied the most prosperous northern region of Kuaiji.
Dongye is now Fuzhou, the main port into Jiaozhi, located in the south of Kuaiji County.
With Wang Lang escaping to this place, Sun Ce really couldn't do anything to him.
The road was rugged and the mountains converged.
Wang Lang had only escaped so quickly because he had taken a ship to the south.
Sun Ce's army didn't have enough ships and it was difficult to travel by land.
The towering and steep Xianxia Ridge mountain range blocked the large-scale march.
Even after a thousand years, Zhejiang and Fuzhou had the saying that they would not interact with each other.
In history, the "Xianxia Ancient Road" built by Huang Chao was still talked about.
Thus, there was a new voice within Sun Ce's army, hoping to persuade Wang Lang to surrender and not continue fighting.
Wang Lang was familiar with the classics. Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, recommended him as Mao Cai. He was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou and later promoted to the prefect of Kuaiji.
Zhang Zhao and Wang Lang were both celebrities in Xuzhou. When they were young, they discussed scriptures together. Thus, Sun Ce sent Zhang Zhao to persuade Wang Lang to surrender, hoping to resolve the conflict.
Zhang Zhao did not disappoint and successfully brought Wang Lang back.
Sun Ce and Xiang Yu went to welcome him, giving Wang Lang enough respect.
"I've long heard of your name, sir." Sun Ce smiled brightly."You're indeed extraordinary."”
He tried his best to invite Wang Lang to be an official, but he was mercilessly rejected by Wang Lang.
"I have no intention of being an official. Please find someone else.”
Wang Lang just cupped his hands and bowed, his expression indifferent.
Sun Ce's smile disappeared. He didn't kill Wang Lang and only let him go.
At this point, Sun Ce personally led the prefect of Kuaiji and set up an independent regime.
At the end of the year, Li Jue and Guo Si fought a bloody battle in Chang 'an. Blood flowed like a river, and corpses blocked the Wei River.
The emperor Liu Xie moved eastward with the help of the officials, and the White Wave Yellow Turban Army became important officials of the imperial court.
The court appointed Hu Cai as the general of the North Expedition and concurrently served as the herdsman of Bingzhou.
Li Le was appointed General of the Western Expedition and concurrently served as Liangzhou Animal Husbandry.
Han Xian was appointed General of the Eastern Expedition and concurrently served as the herdsman of Youzhou.
All of them were granted the title of Lord of the Rings and opened their houses like the three princes.
In order to rope in these generals who had military power, Dong Cheng had invested a lot.
Coincides with a large number of locusts, drought without grain, Liu Xie can only eat cooked jujube vegetables.
Yang Feng, General of Andong, Dong Cheng, General of Wei, and Han Xian, General of the Eastern Expedition, planned to return to Luoyang by car.
In the spring of the next year, Liu Xie granted amnesty to the world and changed the year title to Jian 'an.
This year was the first year of Jian 'an (196).
Yuan Shu took advantage of Liu Bei's unstable position and led his army to attack Xuzhou. In an instant, he took down the southern part of Guangling Prefecture and threatened Xiapi.
Liu Bei met him, and the two armies held a stalemate in Xuyi and Huaiyin.
A great battle unfolded.
Cao Cao appointed Liu Bei as the general of Zhendong and granted him the title of Marquis of Yicheng Pavilion. Soon after, his army attacked Wuping. Yuan Si, the prime minister of Chen appointed by Yuan Shu, surrendered and ruthlessly cut off a piece of Yuan Shu's flesh.
Back then, in order to seize the Chen Kingdom, Yuan Shu had secretly assassinated Liu Chong, the King of Chen, and had spent a lot of effort to obtain this place. Now, it had been taken away by Cao Cao.
Yuan Shu didn't have any temper at all!
Not long after, Yuan Shu listened to the advice of his subordinates and instigated Lu Bu to seize Xiapi.
Lu Bu, who wanted to restore his former glory, hit it off with Yuan Shu.
He sent troops to attack Xiapi, expelled Zhang Fei, and captured Liu Bei's family.
Liu Bei was forced to retreat and was defeated by Yuan Shu.
After taking over the whole county of Guangling, Yuan Shu appointed Wu Jing as the prefect of Guangling and returned to resist Cao Cao.
Coincides with Wei General Dong Cheng letter, and Yuan Shu plot to meet the emperor.
Yuan Shu was overjoyed. He did not expect Cao Cao to intercept him.
Cao Cao sent Cao Hong to the west to meet him. General Dong Cheng and Yuan Shu led Chang Nu to resist, and Cao Hong's troops could not advance.
Cao Cao defeated the Yellow Turban soldiers in Runan and Yingchuan, killed Huang Shao, and forced He Yi to land, clearing the obstacles for the emperor.
Under Dong Zhao's mediation, Cao Cao successfully met the Emperor in Luoyang and was appointed as the General of the East and Marquis of Feiting.
Cao Cao's welcoming of the Son of Heaven was already a foregone conclusion.
Zhou Yu, who was then the chief of Juchao, wrote these important events in a letter and sent it to Kuaiji.
Sun Ce was also very happy to receive Zhou Yu's letter and shared it with Xiang Yu.
"It's ridiculous that Yuan Gonglu actually appointed Gongjin as the chief of the nest, burying his talent.”Sun Ce couldn't help but laugh.
If Zhou Yu was here, he would feel that it was a waste of his talent to be appointed as the county governor.
But look at what Yuan Shu had done.
"This is a good thing. Perhaps Gongjin will be back soon. Yuan Shu relied on his family background of four generations and three dukes. One day, he would lose all the luck of his family.”Xiangyu said happily.
The more muddleheaded Yuan Shu was, the more advantageous it was for them.
"That's right. Gongjin became the chief of the nest so that one day, he could go to River East again.”
"When the time comes, we'll give him a big surprise. How about it?”
Sun Ce's eyebrows danced with joy, and his heart leaped with joy. It had been a long time since he had been so happy.
Now, he had occupied Danyang County, Wu County, and Kuaiji County, leaving only Yuzhang County.
When he took down this county, he would have the power to resist Yuan Shu and cut off Yuan Shu's tentacles.
In fact, Sun Ce already had the intention to rebel, hoping to expel Yuan Yin and defend Danyang.
Xiang Yu tried his best to dissuade Sun Ce, using the excuse that he had not taken down Yuzhang Prefecture to continue encouraging Sun Ce.
The day of Yuan Shu's self-destruction was very close. There was no need to anger Yuan Shu and force him to go south.
"Don't worry, Bofu. There will definitely be a surprise.”Xiangyu said confidently.
"Hahaha!"
"I haven't been so happy in a long time."
Sun Ce laughed heartily.
