Sun Ce, known as the Little Conqueror!
Such a fierce general had actually lost with ten thousand men against a thousand, even losing his life and having his head cut off by the General of Agile Cavalry?
It was simply inconceivable!
Once some quick-witted people recovered, they ran without hesitation toward the mansions of the wealthy households in the city. After all, if they delivered news of such a great victory to those households, the delighted recipients would surely reward them generously.
And so, the news soon spread through Ye City like the wind.
The Imperial Palace, Tai'an Hall.
After entering Ye City, the soldier bearing the news went straight into the Imperial Palace and brought it before Liu Xie.
"Your Majesty! A great victory in Yang Province!"
The soldier knelt on one knee, suppressing his excitement, and respectfully addressed the Son of Heaven above him. "Five days ago, the General of Agile Cavalry led troops to raid Sun Ce's provisions, only to fall into Sun Ce's ambush."
"With one thousand men against ten thousand enemy troops, the General of Agile Cavalry took two thousand heads, then slew the rebel Sun Ce before everyone!"
"The rebel Sun Ce's head is here. The General of Agile Cavalry ordered this humble soldier to bring it as an offering to Your Majesty!"
As he spoke, the soldier unfastened a bundle from his back. Inside was a sandalwood box. Opening it, he took out a head covered in quicklime, looking particularly hideous and terrifying!
It was Sun Ce's head!
"Duke Wen truly is an unrivaled warrior!"
Liu Xie rose to his feet in delighted surprise.
He knew Lü Bu was badass, but he had never expected him to be this badass. Despite being ambushed, he had defeated an enemy ten times his strength
