There were huge merchants in Zhongshan. Liu Bei started his business with two big merchants in Zhongshan. The strength of the Zhen family is among the top in northern Hebei. If it weren't for this, how could he be qualified to marry Yuan Shao? It would be a pity to cut off such a person. It's necessary to fully tap its value. Not to mention thousands of horses, even if it could be exchanged for hundreds of horses, it would be profitable.

For Jiangdong, war horses are strategic materials that cannot be bought even if they have money. After defeating Yuan Shao, the giant Wuba, the world was in chaos. Whether it was Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei or Han Sui, Ma Teng would no longer supply his war horses in unlimited amounts. He had to open up new channels. The lifespan of a horse is only about 30 years, and it would only take more than ten years to serve as a war horse. Without a stable supply of war horses, a real cavalry could not be maintained.

He could be sure that peace in the world could not be achieved within ten years, and war horses would always be his weakness.

Zhen Yan looked at Sun Ce and didn't know what to say. He had long heard that the Sun family was born as a merchant, and using troops was like doing business, but it was a bit unexpected for him to discuss business as soon as he met on the battlefield. However, Sun Ce had no intention of killing people, and he was not in danger of his life, which was good news.

Sun Ce ordered people to take care of Zhen Yan, turn over the horse, and continue chasing. A knight chased him over and handed Sun Ce two cuts of swords, saying that he had just picked up from the battlefield. He looked gorgeously decorated and probably not an ordinary thing. Sun Ce looked over and over again, feeling familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he ordered people to keep it. After walking for a while, he suddenly had a light of inspiration and remembered who the sword was.

Just now, Yuan Shao drew his sword and cut off the Overlord Kill and used this knife when he escaped from death. He quickly took the knife again and carefully determined that he found that there were two ancient characters on the knife. However, by chance, the knife broke just between the two characters, which was God's will.

Sun Ce passed by Guandu, and Lusu was crossing the river. When Yuan Shao retreated, Gao Lan also retreated. Before leaving, he destroyed the floating bridge. Man Chong and Xu Sheng rushed to Guandu with the navy and urgently built the floating bridge to connect Lusu to cross the river. Sun Ce and Lusu briefly exchanged the situation and continued to pursue.

There were corpses everywhere along the way, abandoned baggage and weapons, armor, and countless defeated soldiers drowned in the water. The Yuan army had collapsed, and the system had been disrupted, and it was impossible to organize an effective counterattack. Especially those Hu cavalry, one fled faster than the other. They followed Yuan Shao south, thinking that they could kill all directions and make some fortune, but they did not expect to suffer consecutive setbacks, and first defeated the Xiongnu Chanyu Yufulu, and now they were trapped in a Wuhuan Khanlu King, and no one was willing to fight against Sun Ce. In order to escape faster, they had no scruples and would kill whoever blocked the way.

The first one to be defeated was Gao Lan.

Gao Lan originally confronted Lu Su, but when he learned that Yuan Shao was defeated by Sun Ce, he retreated immediately. In order to prevent Lu Su and others from crossing the river, he destroyed the floating bridge, wasted some time, and fell behind, and was soon caught up by Han Yin. Gao Lan originally planned to set up a formation to block Yuan Shao and gain some time, but except for his own troops, the others did not listen to him at all. Before the drum was finished, there were only more than a thousand people in his headquarters left on the battlefield. Gao Lan had no choice but to know that this number of troops would not play any role, and would only destroy these loyal subordinates here. He had to give up the blocking plan and escape with the crowd.

Seeing that although there were not many people, the formation was complete, especially the powerful crossbowman Zhang Bi who was waiting for him, Han Yin did not worry about him, and crossed him and continued to attack forward. Gao Lan was not a well-known general and was not worth much. Han Yin was determined to chase Yuan Shao, so he did not want to waste time on Gao Lan. Moreover, he knew that the person chasing him was not the only one who was chasing him. In addition to the cavalry led by Yan Xing, there were also a large number of infantrymen, and Gao Lan could not make any waves.

After Han Yin passed, Gao Lan did not relax his vigilance. He gritted his teeth and led his subordinates into Putianze. Putianze was vast in area, spanning the two sides of the gulf, and was covered with dense grass, swamps were everywhere. The infantry was barely feasible, but the cavalry could not charge, which was most suitable for the current situation. Although there was a danger of getting lost, as long as you move forward along the gulf, you would not be wrong.

When Sun Ce arrived, he just saw Gao Lan's last back. He didn't see Gao Lan's battle flag, nor did he think too much. At this time, except Yuan Shao, he would not risk going to the Putianze to chase him. If he fell into it, it would be a waste of his old capital.

Sun Ce continued to move forward, and heard the sound of war drums ahead and knew that there was a war, so he rushed over, but he was still one step slower. Yan Xing led his troops back and forth to charge back and forth, then destroyed Han Xun's team and killed Han Xun in the last battle. As soon as Han Xun died, his subordinates dispersed.

Sun Ce and Yan Xing joined forces and continued to rush forward. Not long after, they met Zhang Yan again. Zhang Yan was originally with Gao Lan, and Gao Lan was about to turn around to fight. He ran away first, but he still couldn't escape. He was first caught up by Han Yin, and rushed for a while, hundreds of casualties. Before he could come back, he was caught up by Sun Ce. Seeing Sun Ce's battle flag, Zhang Yan had no courage to fight. He threw down the infantry and fled with his personal guards. He was chopped up by Ma Chao's troops. Pang De took the lead and cut off Zhang Yan's head with one knife.

Sun Ce pursued and killed more than ten generals, nearly a hundred generals of the rank of the lieutenant, and thousands of Yuan army kneeling down and surrendering. Sun Ce ignored all of them and left these matters to the infantry to deal with them. Only when he encountered Yuan army who was resisting stubbornly would he stop and launch an attack.

The four-wheeled carriage was rushing along the galloping road, and the whip in the driver's hand was slamming, and two horses ran wildly, speeding up. Dozens of knights clamped the side of the carriage and pressed the carriage with their hands to prevent the carriage from being bumped too violently and overturned. The continuous running of more than ten armored cavalrymen behind the hall had already overwhelmed the war horses, one after another, and the armored cavalry had to transfer to ordinary war horses.

Even so, the coachman dared not slow down.

Yuan Shao was lying in the cart and was held in his arms by two attendants. One pressed the wound on his shoulder with his hands, and the other wrapped his thighs tightly with cloth. In an anxious manner, they could not find a doctor to heal Yuan Shao, and could only use this method to slow down the bleeding. However, Yuan Shao could still feel the blood gushing out, soaking the battle robe and flowing everywhere in the cart. But he couldn't feel even a little pain, and he felt that he seemed to have floated away from his body, surprisingly calm.

How could I, Yuan Shao, have come to this point? He kept asking himself.

The past passed by him one by one, from the crying in the high gate courtyard of Luoyang City, to the high spirits of youth, from the six years of desertedness in the Yuan family cemetery in Ruyang, to the lively guests in Luoyang City, from the strategist of the General's Mansion, to the Jedi counterattack at Jieqiao. One by one, one by one, one by one, He Jin, Xun Shuang, Wu Qiong, and Han Fu, were all so clear and so happy, just like the gatherings that year, where guests were full of chats and laughter.

When all the faces dissipated, only one face was left in front of me, a face with contempt and contempt.

"Slave, do you have today too?"

Seeing this familiar and disgusting face, Yuan Shao said in a lost voice: "Highway, you are not..." Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shao suddenly woke up. Severe pain came like a tide, and cold sweat came out of his body, making him feel unbearable and his face pale as snow. The people he just saw were dead, including Yuan Shu. Dreaming of death means that his life has come to an end.

"Am I going to die?" Yuan Shao opened his eyes and moaned.
