"The problem is that now that this child has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the title of Lord of Jiangdong has been suppressed, who of us dares to touch him?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but said, "The longer time passes, the more disadvantageous it will be to us, especially in Xiangyang City. Seeing that we were subject to this, their confidence naturally returned and their military morale became stable."
"Bo Fu, how many times have you and I attacked Jingzhou? If you don't want to come back empty-handed this time, we have only one way!"
Sun Ce, who was wearing a mask, couldn't tell his expression, but everyone knew what Zhou Yu said. Ignore the baby in front of you and insist on attacking, Xiangyang will be defeated!
"You are trying to make me and Zhong Mou fall out." Sun Ce sighed.
"The general will not accept military orders from abroad. Besides, there are no military orders yet. No qualified general should give up such a good opportunity. When Xiangyang is captured, I will personally go back and bear the thorns to apologize!" Zhou Yu said.
Sun Ce shook his head,
"You don't understand Zhongmou. Even if he knows the price is heavy, he will probably kill you. There are many heroes in this world. Cao Cao is one of them, and Liu Bei may be one. If you are on their side, they will not punish you. , and will treat you well; however, there are also outliers among the princes, including Yuan Shao and Zhong Mou. Whether you say they are really good-natured or say they are too short-sighted, leave your tricks to them. It won’t work.”
For example, Sun Quan would give up a good opportunity because Mrs. Wu was seriously ill, and Yuan Shao would give up attacking because his youngest son was seriously ill. These two people may be good fathers and good sons, but in a large sense, they are not good princes. Therefore, if Zhou Yu really dares to "reject foreign military orders", then Sun Quan will definitely keep his word: "Whoever hurts my son, I will destroy his entire clan!" '
"So, Zhongmou is not a qualified lord!" Zhou Yu advised Sun Ce again, "Bo Fu, actually we have another way now, that is, you take the initiative to show up. Naturally, the identity of the master has also become invalid. The hostage has lost its original value. I think Cihang Jingzhai would not deliberately let this child die, right?"
"Don't underestimate Cihang Jingzhai's determination. Besides, once you gamble on something like this, there is no turning back." Sun Ce still shook his head, "I just said before that we cannot be short-sighted. In order to capture Xiangyang and gain short-term benefits, Falling out with Zhongmou, or being separated from my brother, which one do you think is more important? Zhongmou is not just my brother, he is an indispensable part of conquering the world!"
"So, we just give up and retreat?" Zhou Yu asked.
"Take all the Jingzhou soldiers we have captured the town and retreat." Sun Ce said.
"It's not impossible to retreat, but Bo Fu, you must agree to a condition this time." Zhou Yu suddenly said.
"You want to make terms with me?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu funny.
Zhou Yu nodded seriously,
"You must listen to me this time. This is also for Jiangdong's good."
"Oh? Let's talk about it." Sun Ce asked with interest.
"Give birth to a son as soon as possible." Zhou Yu said.
"Um???"
"I'm not kidding. Sun Deng is the heir of Jiangdong for a day, and we are subject to Cihang Jingzhai for a day. If we want to solve this dilemma, we must either rescue the hostages, but rescuing the hostages is not easy, or let Sun Deng suffer. The redundant identity disappears!" Zhou Yu analyzed and said, "It is naturally inappropriate to let Zhongmou do this kind of thing by himself, because it will definitely stimulate Cihang Jingzhai and put Sun Deng in danger. Therefore, it must be done by We'll do it here. As long as you send your son back to Sun's family, you don't need to show up. Sun Deng's value will naturally disappear. Cihang Jingzhai can't do anything about this, and he will never do anything to harm the child again. the behavior of."
"Now that we are on the battlefield, how easy is this kind of thing?" Sun Ce couldn't help but reply.
"Just because we are on the battlefield does not mean that women are also on the battlefield. You and I will come back to Lujiang with me this time. I have already agreed with Xiao Qiao that Da Qiao will go home to visit relatives in the near future. Don't worry, I won't delay you for long." Zhou Yu said.
"...What a good Zhou Gongjin you are! What a man who retreats in order to advance!" Sun Ce pointed at Zhou Yu and laughed and scolded, "So this was your idea from the beginning!"
Yes, there were no telephones in this era. If he hadn't planned it early in the morning, how could Zhou Yu have said that to Xiao Qiao in advance?
"However, if there is only one woman, this thing may not be possible in a short time. Judging from Zhongmou's experience, we should find at least two women. I think you and that Wang family girl have a good eye for each other, do you want it? ..." Zhou Yu said again.
"That's enough for you, Zhou Gongjin!"

Lujiang,
"What? My sister isn't coming back? Dad! Did you say something nonsense again?" Xiao Qiao asked Qiao Xuan.
"I didn't say anything nonsense." Qiao Xuan shook his head, "Besides, you did this kind of thing and even hid it from me, how could I have a chance to say it? Don't waste your time. I can see that your sister is comparable to You’re much more awake.”
"What kind of sobriety is this!" Xiao Qiao was dissatisfied, "You should fight for what belongs to you! If there is a glimmer of hope, you should work hard!"
"You have a destiny, and it's not impossible to strive for it, but you have to follow the trend. Going against the will will not end well. Alas, you have been learning from me for so many years. I don't expect you to be able to learn a little bit. At least, you You shouldn't be ignorant and hit your head with blood!" Qiao Xuan sighed.
Qiao Xuan also tried to fight for it before, but unfortunately, due to some strange combination of circumstances, he failed to win. But if you don't succeed, you won't succeed. Although you don't get any benefits, at least you are not bad at all. Going against the trend is absolutely not allowed!
Xiao Qiao suddenly called Da Qiao back. What was his purpose? Miss your sister? Don’t you want to go to Wu County to visit yourself? Do you know how troublesome it is to come back now as Da Qiao?
Xiao Qiao's thoughts could not be hidden from Qiao Xuan, especially at this time when Sun Quan's son was just born. Not to mention Qiao Xuan, even Da Qiao had actually guessed it. Qiao Xuan has always been adamant that Sun Quan will become emperor in the future. If this is the case, if his Qiao family gives birth to Sun Ce's son, wouldn't it be clear that they will go against Sun Quan and go against the trend? Once he fails to fight for the throne in the future, it would be strange if his Qiao family didn't suffer the same consequences!
Fortunately, although Xiao Qiao is not sensible, Da Qiao is still quite knowledgeable. For Qiao Xuan, this was a blessing among misfortunes.

Xuzhou,
"Lord, why are you still here? You can't even trust me, right?" Zhang Kai said.
"It's not that I can't trust you." Dou Yuru shook her head, "It's just that the situation has changed now, and I'm worried that you can't handle it alone."
"What's changed? Now that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are no longer with Liu Bei, it's the best time for us to take action!" Zhang Kai said.
"Sun Quan sent an envoy to Xuzhou." Dou Yuru said.
Zhang Kai was stunned.
"He told us to stop?"
"No." Dou Yuru shook her head, "He is ready to find an opportunity to capture Liu Bei alive!"
