Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

This handsome young man was none other than Sun Jian's proud son, Sun Ce. This Sun Ce is not only heroic and heroic, but also has a good martial arts, although he is young, but Sun Jian's generals are not his opponents, and he has never met an opponent since his debut. However, this also made him develop a young and overly fierce character.

Sun Jian glanced at Sun Ce with a smile, and said warmly: "Ce'er is brave and fierce, and he is very happy for his father! But Ce'er must not underestimate Chen Chu and the Northern Expeditionary Army under his command! Chen Chu's advisers are like rain, fierce generals, and hundreds of thousands of lions in a hundred battles, this force is difficult for anyone to face alone

!" Sun Ce pursed his lips unconvinced, "The world says that the Northern Expeditionary Army is unparalleled in the world, I really want to see it!"

"My brother is right! There is no such thing as a world unparalleled! That is just a blow! The little sister also wants to see how powerful the Northern Army really is!" This voice was crisp with a hint of hoarseness, and there was a peculiar magnetic charm.

Following the prestige, a female general dressed in red tight female armor, with a toned body and full of wild charm, came into view. This female general is the sister of Sun Jian's baby daughter Sun Ce, Sun Ren, Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Jian glanced at Sun Ce, then at Sun Ren, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, there will be opportunities in the future! Okay! Don't talk about this now! Let's talk about our next plan!"

Sun Jian paused, and then said: "Our army has occupied the two counties of Yuzhang and Jiujiang, and the total strength has expanded to 150,000. Our original plan was to continue to advance eastward in order to capture the two counties of Huiji and Wu County, but Liu Biao of Jingzhou sent Huang Zutun to Jiangxia with sinister intentions!

" Sun Ce immediately hugged his fist at Sun Jian and said: "Father, it is better to concentrate forces to take Jiangxia, teach Liu Biao a lesson, and let him not dare to act rashly!" Sun Ce's tone was very angry.

Sun Jian frowned and did not speak.

At this time, Zu Mao, one of the four generals under Sun Jian's command, objected: "I don't agree with what the young general said!"

Hearing this, Sun Ce was not angry, but sat down quietly and showed his listening.

Sun Jian nodded and motioned for Zu Mao to continue.

So Zu Mao continued: "Although our army has expanded rapidly in the past year or so, it is still much inferior to Liu Biao's strength in Jingzhou. Although our army currently has 150,000 soldiers, a considerable number of them are undertrained recruits, while Liu Biao has 350,000 elite soldiers. It is really unwise for our army to fight Liu Biao at this time!" Sun

Jian nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, Sun Ce frowned and asked, "Although what General Zu said is true, can we just let Liu Biao suppress us like this?" Zu

Mao shook his head and replied: "Of course not! Liu Biao has no ambitions, and the reason why he sent heavy troops to Jiangxia is that he feels that we have threatened him! Therefore, we only need to do something to dispel his doubts, and we can continue to advance eastward! When our strength is strong enough, it is not too late to destroy Liu Biao!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded involuntarily.

"Then how do you dispel Liu Biao's doubts?" asked Huang Gai, who was also one of the four generals.

For this question, Zu Mao had already thought about it, so he immediately replied: "Cai Mao has great power in Jingzhou, Cai Mao's sister is very favored by Liu Biao's wife, these two are greedy for money, we can bribe Cai Mao and Cai with a lot of money, so that these two people can speak for us."

Sun Jian nodded, but said without hesitation: "Although Liu Biao has no ambitions, he is the master of one side after all, I am afraid that he will not obey the words of these two people in major matters

!" "The lord is wise, as the lord said, it is difficult to achieve our goal by relying on the Cai brothers and sisters alone, so we have to do other work!"

After a pause, Zu Mao continued: "We can marry Liu Biao. Once we join forces, Liu Biao will definitely no longer guard against us! At that time, we will be able to go east with peace of mind!" Hearing

this, Sun Jian suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.

"Okay! Da Rong has solved a big problem for me!" Sun Jian said happily.

Then he looked at Sun Ce and said half-jokingly: "It seems that I have to find a daughter-in-law for Ce'er!"

Hearing his father say this, Sun Ce couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then reacted, so he scratched the back of his head a little shyly.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw this. Sun Ren jumped to Sun Ce's side even more excitedly, "Brother, I'm going to have a sister-in-law!

It's really good!" However, at this moment, Zu Mao, who proposed the plan, objected: "Lord, it's only inappropriate to let the young general marry the daughter of the Liu cousin!"

Sun Jian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Zu Mao immediately explained: "Marrying a girl is to some extent an attitude of showing weakness and submission to the other party. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is unlikely that the Liu family will marry their daughter!" Zu

Mao was about to continue, but was interrupted by Sun Jian raising his hand. "I see what you mean! Are you saying that under the current circumstances, we have to marry our daughter

!" "The lord is wise!" Zu Mao hugged his fists, his face was a little ashamed, after all, this kind of weakness is really a bit suffocating.

The scene suddenly became dull, and everyone's faces were not very good.

Sun Jian frowned and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he raised his head and looked at the crowd, and then decisively said: "Although this matter is not pleasant, but it is the only way to do it!"

Then his gaze fixed on Sun Ren, the head of Sun Ce, Sun Jian's gaze showed a look of guilt and reluctance, but this look quickly disappeared.

"Xiangxiang. Sun Jian whispered.

Sun Ren seemed to feel something, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Father, daughter here. Sun Ren replied in a low voice.

Sun Jian paused, and then said, "Xiangxiang, let you marry into the Liu family!" Sun Jian's tone was reluctant, but it could not be refuted.

When Sun Ren heard this, her face changed slightly, but she did not resist her father's decision. "Daughter obeys!" Sun Ren replied softly with trembling lips.

At this moment, Sun Ce suddenly stood up and objected loudly: "No! Absolutely not! How can you let your sister do such a thing

!" Sun Jian's eyes were cold, he glared at Sun Ce, and said coldly: "Ce'er, it has been decided for my father! You sit down for me!"

Sun Ce's face suddenly turned red, and he wanted to refute, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's order.

Sun Ren hurriedly took Sun Ce's arm and said, "Brother, Xiang'er is getting married, this is a happy event! Don't worry about Xiang'er!" Sun Ren looked very happy, but everyone could see that it was pretended.

Sun Ce glanced at his beautiful sister, then sat down and sulked.

When Sun Ce calmed down, Sun Ren turned around and saluted his father, Sun Jian, and said, "Father, my daughter will never live up to her father's high expectations!" Sun Jian didn't

speak, just nodded heavily.

Sun Ren then stood up and left the chamber.

Looking at the back of his daughter's departure, Sun Jian was in a very bad mood, he was really reluctant to give up this daughter, but in order to achieve hegemony, he had to give up this daughter who was regarded as a pearl in his palm.

Yuan Shao was in a very bad mood during this time, first he suffered repeated setbacks in the process of attacking Jiguan, and now he received another piece of news that made him frightened, Jizhou was actually

captured by the Northern Army! When Yuan Shao first learned the news that the Northern Army had captured Jizhou, he once thought that this was a rumor spread by the Northern Army, but when the urgent letter of the Bohai garrison was handed to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao suddenly felt that the whole person was like falling into an ice cave -- Jizhou was really lost!

Yuan Shao hurriedly convened the generals and strategists to discuss the matter, but as soon as this matter was discussed, Yuan Shao's head was big, and the generals and strategists insisted on their own words, which made Yuan Shao feel at a loss.

After several days of discussion, Yuan Shao still did not make up his mind.

Just when Yuan Shao was hesitating, the Northern Army launched an operation.

In the early hours of one morning, tens of thousands of iron cavalry of the Northern Army launched a surprise attack on Yuan Shao's military camp like a whirlwind. Although Yuan Shaojun was prepared, he also suffered a lot of losses.

This incident made Yuan Shao uneasy, and on the same day, Yuan Shao ordered the whole army to retreat thirty miles to the village.

Subsequently, Yuan Shao began to discuss with everyone how to deal with it. Yuan Shao's intention was inclined to withdraw his troops back to Jizhou, and most of the generals and strategists also had this opinion, but there were two exceptions, these two people were the trial and general Gao Lan who were put into the prison car, but the opinions of the two did not affect Yuan Shao's decision. Yuan Shao finally decided to give up attacking Jizhou for the time being, and first return to the army to recapture Jizhou.

At the same time that Yuan Shao learned about the situation in Jizhou, there was a big situation in the northern army. The Xianbei people actually sent an envoy to Bingzhou.

The Xianbei envoy threw an olive branch to Chen Chu on behalf of the Xianbei Wang Kebineng. Kebineng hopes to form an alliance with Chen Chu, for this reason, Kebineng is willing to send Xianbei cavalry to help Chen Chu deal with this crisis, of course, Kebineng will not help Chen Chu unconditionally, Kebi can put forward the condition of the population and land of the whole county in the clouds.

Kebineng obviously saw an opportunity, so he wanted to blackmail Chen Chu.

The conditions that Kobi can put forward are harsh, but they are very tempting. Under the current circumstances, if the Northern Expeditionary Army cooperates with the Xianbei people, it can not only tide over the difficulties, but even launch a ** to eliminate one of the forces.

Lu Su, who was sitting in Bingzhou, was very moved by this, so he immediately sent a flying pigeon to Huguan to ask Chen Chu for instructions, and also attached his own analysis and suggestions.

After Chen Chu received Lu Su's flying pigeon message, he immediately consulted with Tian Feng. Tian Feng's opinion was basically the same as Lu Su's, and they all believed that they could use the strength of the Xianbei people to get through this difficulty.

Lu Su and Tian Feng's analysis is undoubtedly reasonable, but Chen Chu has always had something in his heart that he can't let go, Chen Chu was a modern person after all, his ideological concepts are different from those of this era, Chen Chu hated the most in the past is the ** behavior of cutting land and seeking peace, he is not willing to do similar things for the sake of victory no matter what.

After careful consideration, Chen Chu decided to ignore the proposal of the Xianbei people, and at the same time strictly ordered the northern counties and the southern Xiongnu to be strictly guarded and not to slack off.

Chen Chu's decision made Tian Feng, Lu Su and other strategists very emotional.

After receiving Chen Chu's order, although Lu Su felt a little disappointed, he did not dare not carry out Chen Chu's order. Lu Su immediately ordered the Xianbei envoy to be arrested.
