As the Xiapi nobles made promises to Sun Quan one after another, expressing their family loyalty, and following Sun Quan's instructions, they immediately went home to gather people and rushed to the Sishui dam for disaster relief. Soon, only Chen Gui and a few others were left at the scene.
"You win." Chen Gui sighed deeply. Unexpectedly, many of his plans, including those of the Chen family, were ultimately destroyed at the hands of the Sun family.
From this aspect, Sun Quan definitely has irresolvable hatred for Chen Gui. But after all, Chen Gui did not represent him alone, and he could not let go of his own grudges. Like Zhang Liao, like Gao Shun, these lonely people could rather die than surrender. But Chen Gui, if he wants to preserve his family, he can only hide his hatred and be a person who understands current affairs.
However, Chen Gui probably knew very well that he had caused so much trouble for Sun Quan. If he surrendered, his Chen family would probably still be at the bottom. Therefore, Chen Gui must take another gamble and show his value in front of Sun Quan!
"You won." Chen Gui first admitted that he had indeed lost to Sun Quan, but then he smiled coldly and said,
"But Sun Quan, Sun Quan, the world calls you the number one prodigy in the world, but they never thought that you, Sun Quan, are also a person who only cares about immediate gains and has no real perspective on the overall situation."
"Yeah?"
If he has enough skills now, then Sun Quan wouldn't mind using his skills once to see what Chen Gui wants to say. It's a pity that Sun Quan is now in short supply of skills, and he doesn't have the cards in his hand to back up, so he doesn't dare to mess around at all.
Compared to listening to Chen Gui's eloquent speech here, Sun Quan was more worried that Chen Gui was still stalling for time. The most urgent task is for Sun Quan to take control of the four city gates and confirm that Cao Cao is really gone. He didn't have time to waste time here with Chen Gui.
"Lock him up and watch him carefully. I'll come down and interrogate him. The rest, follow me!" Sun Quan decided to say.
Chen Gui, who was forcibly taken away, just turned around and shouted,
"Sun Quan, if you don't listen to me, you will regret it!"
"Sun Quan! You will regret it!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Next to her, Diao Chan looked at Chen Gui who was gradually walking away, frowned, and couldn't help but said to Sun Quan,
"I don't think he is telling lies. Do you want to hear it? What if there is really something important?"
"Chen Gui is a counselor. There is no truth or falsehood in any strategy, only right or wrong. His firm judgment may not necessarily be right." Sun Quan replied, paused, and then said, "How about you ask Ask?"
I have to admit that Chen Gui really piqued Sun Quan's interest and made him quite concerned. But Chen Gui had just caused trouble for Sun Quan and hadn't learned a lesson yet. He was really unhappy that Sun Quan had to take the initiative to ask for advice.
Seeing this, Diao Chan pursed her lips and smiled, completely seeing through Sun Quan's little thoughts.
"Don't worry, this is my personal behavior, you didn't ask me to go."
Sun Quan rolled his eyes angrily,
"Go back quickly. After taking control of the city gate, I want to go to the edge of Surabaya to take a look. Hey, what a mess." Sun Quan was quite speechless. Cao Cao's actions took away all the joy of victory in him.
"He who is capable will work hard. The people of Xuzhou will remember you." Diao Chan gently patted Sun Quan to comfort her, "Don't worry, I will always be with you."
After saying that, he probably noticed the ambiguity of his words. Diao Chan's original meaning was that Sun Quan did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and was now actively providing disaster relief and putting the people first, so she would not abandon Sun Quan. But now it is obviously unexplainable. With a blush on her face, Diao Chan immediately turned back and headed in the direction where Chen Gui was taken away.
"Hahaha!" Sun Quan laughed loudly and waved to Diao Chan, "Fang Tian has got the painted halberd. I'll peel an apple for you when you get back."
"I can't eat weapons stained with blood!" The beautiful figure in the distance didn't even look back, and only heard a coquettish cry.

While Sun Quan stayed in Xiapi and was busy with disaster relief, soon, Sun Quan captured Xiapi, Cao Cao led his troops to evacuate, and the news that the Sun family occupied Xuzhou resounded throughout the world.
Suddenly, the voice that the Sun family would overtake the Yuan family and sweep the world became louder and louder.
After Cao Cao returned to Xudu, he immediately presented himself to the emperor and named Sun Quan the Mu of Xuzhou, which pushed this call to its peak. In the eyes of everyone, this was obviously Cao Cao's attempt to show weakness and negotiate for peace. Even Cao Cao was afraid of the Sun family!
On the surface, this is true, but only a few people know the inside story.
Not only did Cao Cao leave a mess for Sun Quan, when he left, he also kidnapped most of the main force of Lu Bu's army west of Surabaya. Sun Quan's real gains in Xuzhou are far less than what the world imagined, at least they have not been revealed yet.
Of course, if you look at how much Sun Quan paid in this battle, then his battle in Xuzhou was undoubtedly quite successful. Totally worthy of huge profits!
In addition, Cao Cao ostensibly showed favor to the Sun family. In fact, he is secretly uniting with Yuan Shao. Moreover, this so-called show of goodwill had ulterior motives, because Cao Cao's request for credit from Sun Quan was far greater than that of Sun Ce. In terms of official power, Sun Quan even had the potential to catch up with Sun Ce.
So when the time comes, will Sun Quan have the final say in this Sun family? Or does Sun Ce have the final say?
Originally, some time ago, the matter of "robbing marriages" had already caused quite a stir. Now Cao Cao has brought this directly to the table.

Yecheng,
"Miss, do you really want to run away from your marriage?"
"Didn't you hear? Sun Quan conquered Xuzhou! Yuan Shao's son only thinks about women and romance. Sun Quan is the best among men! I'm going to Xuzhou to find him!"
"But if you go to find him, you have to be willing to meet him."
"Why wouldn't he be willing? He promised me back then."
"But that was a long time ago"
"What I said when I was a child, it counts! Don't worry, if the Sun family conquers the world in the future, my family will thank me in turn."
Sun Quan in the south and Zhen Mi in the north.
The Zhen family tried their best to bind Sun Quan and hype up Zhen Mi. From then on, it was up for sale. With Sun Quan's extraordinary performance, Zhen Mi also rose. Now that it was finally sold at a good price, Zhen Mi was able to marry Yuan Shao's son. While the Zhen family was overjoyed, they had always ignored a question - whether the "goods" were willing to be treated as "goods".
If Zhen Mi had never read books or seen the world, she might not have too many ideas. Unfortunately, in order to train Zhen Mi, the Zhen family made Zhen Mi read more books than many men. How could such a woman with such a high vision be content with being manipulated?

Huaiyin,
"Are you Pan Zhang's sister? Raise your head and let me have a good look." Mrs. Wu said with a smile.
"Pan Xian, Pan Shu meets Madam!" Two young girls in simple clothes raised their heads.
Mrs. Wu's eyes suddenly lit up. This pair of little girls turned out to be unexpectedly charming, even though they were dressed in coarse linen and linen clothes. One of them in particular, at such a young age, had a faintly stunning appearance, which was no worse than Diao Chan, who was shocked by Mrs. Wu and immediately wanted to take her as her daughter-in-law!
