Chapter 1356: Showdown
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and sighed in his heart, he couldn't subdue Ma Chao after all.
Normally speaking, returning home in the name of keeping filial piety is fair and aboveboard.
However, Ma Chao was worried that Bai Xiaowen would not allow him to return to Xiliang, and the thoughtfulness in it was worth pondering.
In fact, why is Bai Xiaowen afraid of Ma Chao?
Today's Ma Chao is already helpless, Pound has been subdued, and Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu's two relatives, brothers and sisters, are gradually convinced by Bai Xiaowen.
Even if Ma Chao returns to Xiliang, there will be no disturbances. The last time Weishui was defeated, his prestige among the Qiang people also dropped significantly.
The Qiang people were also scared by Bai Xiaowen, so they might not dare to continue to support Ma Chao and fight against Bai Xiaowen.
Although Bai Xiaowen felt sorry for losing Ma Chao, he didn't take it too seriously.
After all, there are Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong!
Zhao Yun can't subdue it, but he can use it.
As for Huang Zhong? Now that Wei Yan is already on his way to attack Jingzhou, when Huang Zhong's family is captured, are you afraid that Huang Zhong will not surrender?
It is clear from Huang Zhong's attitude, now Mr. Huang is very calm, he does not shout, make trouble, or run away.
Bai Xiaowen didn't tie him down, but treated him with courtesy, with good wine and good meat.
As for the missing Zhuge Liang, Bai Xiaowen didn't bother to look for it. 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, so he couldn't use the geographical map of mountains and rivers; even if it could be used, Zhuge Liang would still cover up the secrets and prevent Bai Xiaowen from peeping.
On the way back to the imperial court, Bai Xiaowen received a raven messenger from Hefei.
One thing to say here is that after Yizhou was pacified and Liu Bei was captured, Bai Xiaowen sent the Raven Messenger to Qiao Rui in Hefei, and told Qiao Rui that if there was a major military situation, he would use the Raven Messenger to send it back.
Received the Raven messenger from Hefei this time, the whole White Phoenix team paid great attention to it.
Bai Xiaowen read the message from the Raven Messenger, then narrowed his eyes.
"How? Did Jia Xu defend Hefei?" Li Shuyi urged.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "Hefei is lost."
"...Then what should we do? What about Jia Xu, maybe he ran 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 use the template to measure his intelligence, you will undoubtedly underestimate him too much."
...
Time forward to two days ago.
Under the city of Hefei, Sun's camp.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu frowned as they looked at the rock-solid Hefei City in front of them, and the two Yuan Jun camps, one on the left and the other on the right, forming horns with Hefei City.
There are many capable people in Yuan Jun, so don't underestimate them!
"Cao Ren sits guarding the strong city of Hefei, while Zhang Liao and Xu Huang are stationed outside, forming horns with the city. Our army can't besiege the city, so we can only watch as a large number of food and grass soldiers are sent to Hefei. Forcibly attacking the city, fighting with the enemy Yes, the price to pay is too high." Zhou Yu said with a sigh.
"Well, go back and discuss it with Brother Yi, he should have a solution!" Sun Ce said.
Suddenly, a general arrived, and Sun Ce saw at a glance that this person was Fu Xun, one of Sun Yi's subordinates.
Fu Xun said: "My lord, General Sun Yi invites you to return to the village.
He has a very important matter to report to you. "
"Haha, what is Brother Yi doing, so mysterious?" Sun Ce did not doubt it, and took Zhou Yu directly to Sun Yi's camp.
After meeting, Sun Yi screened the others.
Besides Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, only Sun Yi and Fu Xun were left in the tent.
"Brother Yi, what is your business?" Sun Ce asked.
Sun Yi got up and tilted his neck: "Brother, I'm actually 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 the general rebelled." Sun Yi smiled, "Then I replaced him."
"... Borrowing the corpse to return the soul?" Zhou Yu said with a frown.
"It's okay if you understand it this way..." Sun Yi got up, and then selectively told Sun Ce and Zhou Yu some common sense about awakened people, world cut-in, 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 something unknown.
"Yeah, I trust you so much now, should I continue to lurk?" Sun Ce stroked the mustache on his lips and said.
Sun Yi said: "I have always been very interested in 'this world'. In this troubled world, the idol I most envy is you, Sun Ce and Sun Bofu!"
As he said that, Sun Yi pulled Fu Xun, who was full of helplessness, from the other side, and hooked his shoulders affectionately: "This is my partner... I asked him according to Zhou Gongjin's standards. I hope that the two of us People, like big brothers Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, can become confidants and unify the world."
Fu Xun said helplessly: "Master Squad Leader... Please, it's not Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who will finally unify the Three Kingdoms..."
If Bai Xiaowen was here, he would be able to recognize these two people, namely August (Sun Yi), the former squad leader of Shenting, and Andre (Fu Xun), the former intelligence team leader.
This sentence was naturally said by Andre in the team channel.
Sun Ce was a little stunned, and then laughed loudly: "I just said, why are you helping me like this!...Hey, Brother Yi is really dead?"
Zhou Yu also looked at Sun Ce helplessly: "Bo Fu, the focus of attention now is these two... Hey, you two, you haven't answered my question yet, please tell us your purpose and the reason for revealing your identity !"
August (Sun Yi) said: "My purpose... is actually very simple. It is to enter this world, and then help my idol, Sun Ce, unify the Three Kingdoms... oh no, unify the world."
Zhou Yu didn't believe it, but Sun Ce believed it. He nodded and said, "Okay, help me unify the world. I don't care what your status is, just give you a great title."
August smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it won't happen. Because my partner and I have a time limit for staying in this world."
Zhou Yu was startled: "Time limit?"
"Yeah..." August was a little melancholy, "The deadline itself is 20 days, and every time you complete a mission goal, you can add 20 days...My companion and I worked hard to complete three mission goals, but this This is the limit. We have one day left before we have to leave."
After a pause, August said: "Actually, your greatest enemy, Yuan Xi, should have come from outsiders like us. His goal is also to unify the world."
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were shocked again.
However, Zhou Yu quickly grasped the point: "So, Yuan Xi also has a period of stay?"
"Of course there is, but he has become the 'lord of power' and can get a lot of free time, so don't think that the opponent will disappear by himself." August said with his hands open.
