Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Immediately, Taishi Ci could no longer suppress the ecstasy on his face.

Taishi Ci, who had lived in Liaodong for many years, might not know the names of other generals under Liu Bei, but he happened to know the name Sun Ce.

The battle of Youzhou that year not only established the reputation of Li Ji and Gongsun Zan, but the other generals who participated in the battle were also praised by the people of Youzhou.

A considerable number of Youzhou people who suffered from the looting of the Wuhuan are still setting up ancestral temples to pray for Li Ji and Gongsun Zan.

However, due to his young age, Sun Ce was not allowed by Li Ji to fight in close combat with the Wuhuan tribe.

However, Sun Ce was still a disciple of the Guoshihou, so in many ancestral temples built for Li Ji by the people, Sun Ce often stood by like a child.

In this case, how could Taishi Ci, who had lived in Liaodong for many years, not know the name of Sun Ce?
Moreover, Taishi Ci suddenly realized why Cao's army wanted to dig up the Yellow River.

The one they want to deal with is probably the army under the command of Emperor Liu.

Immediately, when he was still more than twenty steps away from Sun Ce, Taishi Ci jumped off his horse, clasped his fists and bowed in greeting.

"Just now I mistakenly thought that the general was from Cao's army and attacked him. I hope the general will not blame me."

Upon seeing this, Sun Ce also dismounted and helped Taishi Ci up, then asked.

"Do you know my name?"

"There are few people in Youyan who don't know the name of Guoshi Hou. Since the general is the disciple of the marquis, he naturally knows..."

After a pause, Taishi Ci spoke with a tone full of emotion and admiration.

"I just didn't know that the general, as the Marquis's disciple, was so brave. He is truly a man of both civil and military talents."

After hearing these words, Sun Ce couldn't help but blush, and subconsciously opened his mouth, but then slowly closed it...

At this moment, that sentence is undoubtedly true.

Li Ji never worried that Sun Ce could threaten him strategically, but to some extent, it made Li Ji's educational level infamous.

"That... uh..."

Sun Ce held it in for a long time before he stammering, "I'm sure the teacher will be very happy to know this."

The excited Taishi Ci suddenly reacted, grabbed Sun Ce's arm and said urgently.

"General, I have something important to report. This matter concerns your own life and will also affect the lives of the people of Jinan."

"What's the matter?" Sun Ce asked subconsciously.

Taishi Ci quickly replied, "Cao's army wants to dig up the Yellow River and submerge Jinan!"

"what?!"

At that moment, everyone who heard this changed their expression and exclaimed in surprise.

Unlike Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, who subconsciously had a look of suspicion after being surprised, Sun Ce asked in a deep voice after being stunned for a moment.

"Is this serious?"

"seen it myself!"

Taishi Ci was afraid that Sun Ce would not believe it, so he quickly added.

"What I just said is that I want to find a city nearby and recruit young men to help me stop Cao's army from digging the Yellow River."

Sun Ce's expression kept changing. After a few breaths, he spoke loudly.

"Demou, you must return to the army immediately to report this matter to Gongjin, and order Gongjin to immediately find high ground in the surrounding area to move troops. I will lead the cavalry to investigate this matter immediately."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Pu walked to Sun Ce's side and whispered.

"My lord, this person's origin is unknown and he may not be trustworthy. He may be a death squad sent by Cao's army. It is even more unknown. Why not let Gong Fu lead the cavalry to investigate..."

Sun Ce raised his hand to stop Cheng Pu from finishing his words and said.

"The Yellow River bursting its banks is a matter of great importance. It is better to believe it than not to believe it." "In my opinion, Brother Taishi is a loyal and righteous man. He will not lie to me. We should go quickly. Maybe we can still have a chance to stop Cao Cao."

If it were someone else, Sun Ce might not think that the other party would dare to dig the Yellow River.

But that was the thief Cao, and Sun Ce felt that there was nothing that the thief Cao dared not do.

Especially the journey to Qingzhou was too smooth, without even a single obstruction, which made Sun Ce feel that something was not right.

Once Cao's army dug up the Yellow River, the army led by Sun Ce would undoubtedly be killed without a burial place.

Perhaps Sun Ce was not good at making plans, but he was quite decisive and brave in his actions. He made a judgment in an instant and realized that even if there was a possibility that Taishi Ci was a loyal soldier of Cao's army, he had to go and investigate and verify it.

Seeing this, Cheng Pu wanted to persuade him...

More importantly, Cheng Pu felt that it was too dangerous for Sun Ce to go and investigate, and he didn't want to see Sun Ce take the risk.

"I have made up my mind, and there is no need for you to say more. Please tell Gongjin about this matter as soon as possible, and Gongjin will make the decision himself."

Sun Ce said this solemnly, and then spoke to Taishi Ci urgently.

"I wonder if Brother Taishi can show me the way?"

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear!"

Taishi Ci was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Pu had no choice but to signal Huang Gai with a wink, asking him to protect Sun Ce at all costs.

Immediately, Sun Ce, knowing the critical situation, led 300 cavalrymen and galloped all the way to the north under the guidance of Taishi Ci.

In fact, it was not that Sun Ce acted on his own without consulting Zhou Yu.

But Sun Ce understood that if what Taishi Ci said was true, only a surprise attack could stop Cao's army from digging the Yellow River, and that meant he could only rely on cavalry, as infantry would never be able to make it in time.

But the cavalry in the army was limited. Even after discussing with Zhou Yu, the number of cavalry that could be mobilized to head straight to the bank of the Yellow River would be at most 400.

More importantly, doing so is likely to delay time.

Therefore, Sun Ce simply led the more than 300 cavalrymen who were guarding him.

"I hope... in time!"

More than 300 cavalrymen led by Sun Ce began to flee for their lives, muttering with serious eyes.

Even though it was getting dark, neither Taishi Ci nor Sun Ce had any intention of stopping, and they continued to rush on their way.

It was just that Taishi Ci unexpectedly met Sun Ce after traveling for more than two hours after leaving the bank of the Yellow River. Even though Taishi Ci had a strong ability to recognize roads, he was able to find his way back by following the direction.

This distance can still only be crossed as quickly as possible by warhorse.

After continuous galloping, the good horse that Taishi Ci brought back from Liaodong even foamed at the mouth and died of exhaustion.

Halfway through the journey, the sky darkened completely, forcing us to slow down even more.

By the time Taishi Ci accurately found the location where Cheng Yu was preparing to dig the Yellow River, three hours had passed.

After this continuous galloping, even Sun Ce felt a little tired.

As for Taishi Ci, who had been running wildly for nearly six hours and fought fiercely with everyone for a while, he was so exhausted that he had to rely entirely on his willpower to support himself.

The rest of the cavalry were even more exhausted after such a rapid journey.

However, Sun Ce did not dare to rest. Just as he and Taishi Ci were about to approach carefully to check the situation...

"Boom!"

There was a sound like the collapse of heaven and earth, making everyone, including Sun Ce and Taishi Ci, turn pale.

The Yellow River...broke its banks! (End of this chapter)
