Bai Xiaowen shook his head and sighed in his heart, he could not conquer Ma Chao after all.
Normally, returning home in the name of keeping filial piety is fair and honorable.
However, Ma Chao was worried that Bai Xiaowen would not let him return to Xiliang. The little thought behind this is worth pondering.
In fact, why is Bai Xiaowen afraid of Ma Chao?
Today, Ma Chao is no longer alone, Pang De has been subdued, and Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu, two brothers and sisters, are gradually convinced by Bai Xiaowen.
Even if Ma Chao returns to Xiliang, he will not be able to make any waves. The last time he was defeated in the Wei River, his prestige among the Qiang people was also greatly reduced.
The Qiang people were also frightened by Bai Xiaowen and may not dare to continue to support Ma Chao and go against Bai Xiaowen.
Although Bai Xiaowen felt it was a pity to lose Ma Chao, he didn't care too much.
After all, there are Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong!
Zhao Yun cannot conquer him, but he can use him.
As for Huang Zhong? Now Wei Yan is already on the way to attack Jingzhou. When Huang Zhong's family is captured, are they still afraid that Huang Zhong will not surrender?
You can see clearly from Huang Zhong's attitude. Now Mr. Huang is very calm and does not yell, make trouble or run away.
Bai Xiaowen did not tie him up, but treated him with courtesy and entertained him with good wine and meat.
As for the missing Zhuge Liang, Bai Xiaowen did not spend any effort to find him. If Zhuge Liang wanted to hide, it would be difficult for Bai Xiaowen to find him.
Not to mention that Bai Xiaowen didn't know Zhuge Liang's appearance and couldn't use the mountain and river geographical map; even if he could use it, Zhuge Liang would still hide the secrets from Bai Xiaowen's prying eyes.
On his way back to the court, Bai Xiaowen received a raven messenger from Hefei.
One thing to note here is that after Yizhou was pacified and Liu Bei was captured, Bai Xiaowen sent a raven messenger to Qiao Rui in Hefei, and told Qiao Rui to use the raven messenger to pass it back if there was any major military information.
This time we received the raven messenger from Hefei, and everyone in the White Phoenix team took it very seriously.
Bai Xiaowen opened the message from Raven Messenger and then narrowed his eyes.
"How? Did Jia Xu defend Hefei?" Li Shuyi pressed.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "Hefei is lost."
"...What should we do? Where's Jia Xu? Did he run away again?" Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, the result is not bad. I can only say that Jia Xu is worthy of being Jia Xu! If you simply measure his intelligence based on templates, you will undoubtedly underestimate him."
…
Time jumps to two days ago.
At the foot of Hefei City, Sun's camp is located.
Looking at the rock-solid Hefei City in front of them, as well as the two Yuan Army camps on the left and right, which are at the corners of Hefei City, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu frowned.
Yuan Jun is full of capable people and should not be underestimated!
"Cao Ren sat in the strong city of Hefei, while Zhang Liao and Xu Huang stationed troops outside, and they were at the opposite angle to the city. Our army could not besiege the city, so we could only watch as a large number of grain and grass soldiers were sent to Hefei for supplies. We forced the city to attack and fought with the enemy.
The price paid is too high." Zhou Yu sighed and said.
"Well, go back and discuss with Brother Yi, he should have a solution!" Sun Ce said.
Suddenly, a military general arrived. Sun Ce took a quick look and saw that this person was Fu Xun, Sun Yi's subordinate general.
Fu Xun said: "My lord, General Sun Yi invites you to return to the stronghold. He has something very important to report to you."
"Haha, what did Brother Yi do to be so mysterious?" Sun Ce took Zhou Yu directly to Sun Yi's camp without any doubts.
After the meeting, Sun Yiping retreated from the others.
Apart from Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, only Sun Yi and Fu Xun were left in the tent.
"Brother Yi, what's the matter with you?" Sun Ce asked.
Sun Yi stood up and tilted his neck: "Brother, I am not from this world."
"Huh?" Sun Ce had a black question mark on his face.jpg.
"I am a person from another world. The real Sun Yi was actually killed when his generals rebelled." Sun Yi smiled, "Then I replaced him."
"...Bringing a corpse back to life?" Zhou Yu said with a frown.
"It's okay if you understand it this way..." Sun Yi stood up, and then selectively told Sun Ce and Zhou Yu some common sense about awakened people, world cuts, etc.
"Then what is your purpose? Why are you revealing your identity now?" Zhou Yu was a little wary. This is a normal reaction to seeing unknown things.
"Yes, I trust you so much now, so it's better to continue to lurk, right?" Sun Ce said, stroking the mustache on his lips.
Sun Yi said: "I have always had a great interest in 'this world'. And in this troubled world, the idol I envy the most is you, Sun Ce and Sun Bofu!"
As he said that, Sun Yi pulled Fu Xun, who had a helpless face on the other side, and put his arm around him affectionately: "This is my partner... I ask him according to Zhou Gongjin's standards. I hope that the two of us will
People, like Brother Sun Ce and Brother Zhou Yu, can become close friends and unify the world."
Fu Xun said helplessly: "Sir, squad leader...please, it was not Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who unified the Three Kingdoms in the end..."
If Bai Xiaowen were here, he would be able to recognize these two people. They are August (Sun Yi), the former squad leader of Shenting, and Andre (Fu Xun), the former intelligence team leader.
These random thoughts were naturally said by Andre in the team channel.
Sun Ce was a little stunned, then laughed loudly: "I asked, why are you helping me like this!...Hey, Brother Yi is really dead?"
Zhou Yu also looked at Sun Ce a little helplessly: "Bo Fu, the focus of attention now is these two... Hey, you two haven't answered my question yet. Please tell me your purpose and the reason for revealing your identity.
!”
August (Sun Yi) said: "My purpose... is actually very simple. It is to break into this world, and then help my idol Sun Ce to unify the Three Kingdoms... oh no, to unify the world."
Zhou Yu didn't believe it, but Sun Ce believed it. He nodded and said, "Okay, you help me unify the world. I don't care what your identity is. I will just give you a big title."
August smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it won't work. Because my partner and I have a time limit to stay in this world."
Zhou Yu was surprised: "Deadline?"
"Yeah..." August said a little melancholy, "The deadline is 20 days. Every time you complete a mission goal, you can add 20 days... My companions and I worked hard to complete the three mission goals, but this
We have reached our limit. We have one day left before we have to leave."
After a pause, August said: "Actually, your biggest enemy Yuan Xi is probably an outsider like us. His goal is to unify the world."
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were shocked again.
However, Zhou Yu quickly grasped the key point: "So, Yuan Xi also has a period of stay?"
"Of course, but he has become the 'Lord of Power' and can get a lot of free time, so don't think that your opponent will disappear on his own." August said, spreading his hands.
