Sun Ce brought Sun Quan back to Sun Jian. Sun Jian scolded Sun Quan a few words, while other princes around him started to say good things to Sun Quan. They were all in high spirits, as if they had won a great battle. He clamored to hold a celebration banquet when he went back, and also specified that Sun Quan should attend. After all, Sun Quan was the little hero today!
At first glance, the Kwantung Anti-Dong Zhuo Alliance Army seemed to have repelled Lu Bu, but if you think about it carefully, Lu Bu's side, at least on the surface, did not suffer any damage. On the other hand, the Alliance Army lost two generals, including more Famous generals like General Pan Feng. In this duel, even if you don’t say you lose, at least it shouldn’t be considered a win, right? Sun Quan already prided himself on being thick-skinned, but he couldn't help but blush for these guys.
At the beginning, he was so high-spirited that if he didn't keep Lu Bu today, it would be considered a failure. But in the end, seeing how strong Lu Bu was, his own side was only "slightly damaged". Does this count as a success?
Sun Quan was not interested in the so-called celebration banquet at all, and felt that the efficiency of the eighteen-way alliance of princes was too low. There was no work done, and there were too many people who were holding back and acting as troublemakers. Including the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao. On the surface, Yuan Shao led the most troops. In fact, the absence of a general, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, made it clear that Yuan Shao was the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, and he had no intention of letting his troops go up to fight with others.
Originally, in addition to Sun Jian, there was also the belligerent White Horse General Gongsun Zan. Now that Gongsun Zan has been frustrated, it is estimated that no one will be willing to fight in a short time. In short, it is not a matter of confidence now, but since the bones are difficult to chew, it is better to let others gnaw them and just stay behind and drink the soup.
So, looking at the alliance of princes, who else is willing to chew this bone? Only Sun Jian is the best! Well, maybe we can add Cao Cao and Liu Bei, but the current Cao Cao and Liu Bei really don't have much strength to show off.
After figuring out the conspiracy behind this, and considering that it was indeed his Jiangdong Army who took the lead in attacking Luoyang in history, Sun Quan felt that there was no need to beat around the bush with these princes. Since you want us to be the spearheads, then we should be sensible and take the initiative to be the spearheads. I just hope that when the benefits come, some people will not be jealous.
So, Sun Quan whispered to Sun Jian,
"Dad, I think now is a good opportunity to take advantage of the victory. Don't be delayed by the celebration party."
"Pursue victory? Do you really think we won? Do you really think Lu Bu was defeated and fled?" Sun Jian immediately retorted. Sun Jian himself can be considered a radical type, otherwise he would not have been plotted by Xi Zhicai and Xu Rong not long ago. If this was really a victory, Sun Jian would chase it without Sun Quan saying anything. But now, Lu Bu's army is retreating normally, and if you try to catch up, it will be ineffective, and there is a possibility of falling into a trap.
Sun Jian thought that Sun Quan's head was hot. Did he really think that he could scare Lu Bu away with just two arrows?
"Dad, no. According to my observation, Lu Bu just used the method of disintegrating the demon and will soon enter a period of weakness. If we catch up now, Lu Bu will not dare to challenge. This is a rare opportunity!" Sun Quan explained in a low voice! road.
Sun Jian narrowed his eyes, and his pupils suddenly burst into light.
"Is your judgment accurate?"
After all, this is no joke. But Sun Jian had to admit that once what Sun Quan said was true, it would definitely be a godsend. Don't think that Lu Bu alone can't affect the situation of the battle, but if Lu Bu doesn't dare to fight, it will greatly affect morale. The soldiers below didn't know the truth. Seeing that the coach had no idea of counterattack, they naturally wondered whether their side was no match for the opponent. As long as their mentality collapsed, killing people would be as easy as chopping vegetables.
"Absolutely accurate!" Sun Quan looked at Sun Jian seriously, "Dad, you still can't believe me!"
Although Sun Quan still has not figured out why Sun Jian insisted on not wanting to leave him in the army, Sun Quan believed that his father Sun Jian's superstition towards him still existed. Whatever Sun Quan said, no matter what the basis is, as long as it is said by Sun Quan, it is accurate!
In fact, it is naturally impossible for Sun Quan to talk nonsense on this issue.
To be honest, in Sun Quan's eyes, he really didn't dare to vouch for the demon's disintegration of Dafa. He just had such suspicions. What really made Sun Quan firm up his judgment was the cards in the spiritual world. Lu Bu's character card had just had its blood deducted. If Lu Bu had been injured in the previous battle, he would have deducted blood on the spot. The blood has just dropped now, which means that Lu Bu really used some forbidden technique to forcibly increase his power in a short period of time, and now the side effects are coming.
"good!"
Sun Jian was never an indecisive person, and his timing on the battlefield was extremely good. Once bitten, twice shy? No, even if it was still a trap this time, as long as Lu Bu was really injured and weak, Sun Jian would still have to break through.
Sun Jian did not waste any time and simply spoke to the alliance leader Yuan Shao without explaining the reason. Then he called Sun Ce and went out to gather the troops.
"this......"
Everyone at the scene looked at each other and stared at Sun Quan. That's right, Sun Quan was abandoned again, and Sun Jian did not take him to the battlefield.
"Zhongmou, what did you say to your father?" Yuan Shu, who was familiar with Sun Quan, was the first to speak.
The people here are not blind. It was obviously Sun Quan who told Sun Jian something that made Sun Jian decide to fight on the spur of the moment.
"I just said, Lu Bu is obviously so strong, why did he run away in the end? I guess he used some method to temporarily improve his skills. This method may make him more injured now. My dad probably thinks it makes sense. , and chased after him." Sun Quan blinked innocently, with an expression that said I didn't expect such a result.
"Forehead....."
The other princes still find it difficult to believe it. Even if what Sun Quan said is reasonable, it is only a possibility. But considering Sun Jian's bellicose character, maybe he just wanted to take a gamble!
No matter what, Sun Jian took the initiative to fight, which was in line with the interests of all the princes, so they had no reason to stop him.
Now it seems that Sun Jian has hit a wall and returned? Still, he made the right bet and achieved a real victory!
If Sun Jian didn't come back, it would be impossible to hold this celebration banquet. Therefore, the princes from all walks of life did not leave. They drank tea, chatted, and played chess in the main camp, getting to know the three heroes, oh, the four heroes who had just fought against Lu Bu. At the same time, they were waiting for the first news from the front line. information.
Fortunately, this news did not keep everyone waiting for too long.
Good news is back! Sun Jian's "bet" was right!
"pretty!"
The leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao, expressed high praise for Sun Jian in front of all the princes, especially Sun Quan. The princes from all walks of life also spoke highly of him, almost saying that he, Sun Jian, was guarding the entire country of Han Dynasty. It's a pity that Sun Quan doesn't accept this trick at all. Yes, you said it to make him happy, but when it goes in his left ear, it comes out in the right ear. He doesn't take what these guys say seriously at all.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shao began to organize a celebration banquet, and now it was a real celebration banquet. The Kwantung Allied Forces had enough food and grass, and plenty of money. They killed the pigs and sheep and waited for Sun Jian to come back and give them a banquet.
As a result, it was not Sun Jian who was waiting, but the second good news.
Sun Jian continued to pursue, almost as if he was taking advantage of your illness to kill you, and was about to chase Lu Bu to death. Of course, Sun Jian also saw that this might be a protracted war, so he informed Yuan Shao in the letter that he hoped the Allies could help him with reserve resources such as food and grass.
"..."
The princes looked at each other again.
"Going deep alone, hasn't this guy learned his lesson?"
"Hey~~"
"If he stopped, he wouldn't be Sun Jian anymore."
"Gao Dao (Yuan Shu), I will leave the food and fodder matters to you." Yuan Shao ordered, "Everyone, since General Sun has rushed to the front, we naturally cannot fall behind others. This celebration banquet should wait until General Sun comes back. stop."
"What the leader said is true."
Sun Quan on the side frowned slightly and said,
"As for the food and grass, why not let me transport it?"
