"What big thing happened in Jiangdong?" Cao Cao asked hurriedly. Cheng Yu and Guo Jia, the two great counselors, returned hand in hand, and they must have brought extremely important information with them.
Guo Jia stepped forward and whispered a few words. Cao Cao's eyes suddenly widened.
"Is this true?!"
At this time, it was not clear whether Cao Cao was happy or worried, but no matter whether he was happy or worried, it could not hide Cao Cao's deep shock.
"It's absolutely true! Jiangdong has been turned into a mess. Lujiang and other places have become self-reliant one after another. I believe that more detailed news will come back before long," Guo Jia said.
"Lord, we are far from the time to be happy now. Although this is an opportunity for us, it is also very harmful to us. There is civil strife in Jiangdong, and Sun Quan will soon be too busy to take care of himself. Seeing this, Yuan Shao is likely to change Idea! In Yuan Shao's opinion, it is definitely better to destroy us before the Sun family recovers than to share the Sun family's land with us!" Cheng Yu said seriously to Cao Cao, "So, Liu Bei cannot be allowed to leave! Liu Bei is outside, Not to mention how it will cause trouble, it will also give Yuan Shao a legitimate reason to attack us!"
"Let's send people to chase him first. If we can't catch him back, there's nothing we can do. Regardless of whether there is a reason or not, won't Yuan Shao come over?!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "Gather your troops immediately and prepare for battle!"
"In addition, we cannot sit idly by on the Jiangdong side. Sun Quan is not an ordinary person. With his skills, who knows how long it will take for him to reunite Jiangdong." Guo Jia reminded.
"Can we still spare our energy to cause trouble in Jiangdong now?" Cao Cao couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome. My lord only needs a few simple appointments. Don't forget that Sun Quan set up a selection department in Jiangdong, which offended many people. In addition, Sun Quan does not have the power of Sun Ce. Jiangdong will probably not accept him. A few," Guo Jia said.

the other side,
Liu Bei, who had just left Xudu the day before, was originally heading south, preparing to go to Jiangxia. As a result, on the way, I was suddenly shocked to hear the news from the Lujiang River. Liu Bei was astonished and made a decisive decision. He immediately turned his horse around and headed towards Xiapi in Xuzhou.

Jiangdong, the outskirts of Kuaiji,
"Hao'er, have you really thought about it?" Sun Jing appeared in front of Sun Hao, who was wearing a suit of armor and was about to lead his troops north.
"Father, you don't even support me?" Sun Hao asked with a stern face.
Sun Jing shook her head,
"It's not that I don't support you, but you are acting too recklessly. Why not wait until the situation becomes clearer before making plans?" Sun Jing advised.
"Father! You are just too cautious! But you have been cautious all your life. Look how far our family has fallen now?! Then when did brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan ever look at us? Do they still think we are the Sun family? I'm afraid I'm not even as good as outsiders!" Sun Hao shouted loudly, as if venting the grievances he had suffered over the years. There were some things that Sun Jing could tolerate, but the young and energetic Sun Hao couldn't.
Sun Jing can keep waiting for opportunities. If there is no good opportunity, Sun Jing is willing to live in seclusion for the rest of her life. But Sun Hao can't do it. Sun Hao doesn't want to be inactive in this life!
"Father, of course I know this is risky, but according to your caution, if you really wait until you see the situation clearly, Sun Quan will have come back long ago, will we still have a chance!" Sun Hao asked, "While Sun Quan is still here, Pi, even the Wu family (Wu Jing and Mrs. Wu), the biggest supporters of the Sun family, also followed to Xuzhou. Most of the people in Wu County are on the sidelines. The whole Jiangdong is at your fingertips, father!"
However, how could Sun Hao, who had been cautious all his life, be able to convince Sun Jing in just a few words?
"Hao'er, you should understand that what I want as a father in my life is to protect the inheritance of the Sun family. So I won't stop you, but I will never support you. If you are truly determined, then my father will have no choice but to leave you. It's all over." Sun Jing said in a deep voice.
Sun Hao suddenly smiled, as if he had expected what his father would say,
"As long as father doesn't stop me, I will be successful. I believe that soon, father, you will be proud of me!" As he said that, Sun Hao suddenly came closer and his face softened, "Father, Chuo'er and the others are still young. If I There are two shortcomings, and I hope my father can keep them safe." Sun Hao said softly, he was not reckless, it was not that he could not see the risks, but Sun Hao really did not want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and in order to get ahead, Sun Hao would rather gamble Everything about you, including your life!
"Don't worry!" Sun Jing patted Sun Hao's shoulder heavily, "As my father said, all I want in my life is to protect the inheritance of the Sun family. As a descendant of my Sun family, I will not let anyone touch them!" Sun Jing said loudly, Sun Jing was gentle and gentle, even Sun Hao had rarely seen him so domineering.
After the posthumous affairs were explained, Sun Hao knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Sun Jing three times to express his gratitude for his upbringing and sever the relationship between father and son. After kowtow, Sun Hao didn't even look back and got on his horse.
"My sons! It's time to make great achievements and serve the country with loyalty!"
Not far ahead, on the Shouchun City Wall, a middle-aged man was standing upright with a determined look on his face.

In Yuzhang, an elite division is slowly advancing. At the front of the team,
"Brother, is there something wrong? If we do this, it won't cause any misunderstandings, right?" Sun Fu asked with some worry. Their behavior at the moment, and in such a sensitive period, could easily be regarded as... To seize power. Of course, in fact, their trip was to seize power, although the fundamental motivations were different.
"We do extraordinary things at extraordinary times. If such a great situation here in Jingzhou is suddenly put on hold, it will only give Liu Biao a chance to recuperate and even counterattack. I have been in the army for many years, and at least I have some prestige, and there are still many of my former friends here. Old unit. Now, only I can stabilize people's hearts and regroup the army's morale!" Sun Ben said, his eyes flashing with light.
"But what if the opponent mistakenly thinks that we are trying to seize power and is unwilling to listen to us?" Sun Fu couldn't help but ask.
Before he finished speaking, as if he had hit the mark, an army appeared in front of him. Like Sun Ben's army, both armies were holding high a big flag - "Sun"!
Sun Ben narrowed his eyes. If the people on the other side were just here to greet him, there would never be so many people here.
"In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things!" Sun Ben said in a deep voice, "In the future, these people will understand that I, Sun Ben, belong to the Sun family. What I do is also for the Sun family!"
In this way, the two armies continued to approach, and soon they entered a dangerous distance that made people sensitive. On the opposite side, a man rode out first, raised his weapon and shouted towards this side,
"Sun Bi, take your people and return to your territory!"
"Xu Kun, now is the time to unite with the outside world, you should not turn your weapons against me!" Sun Ben replied with a stern face.
