Sun Jian's hair stood upside down, and he was furious.

Why! Why is my son dying!

"Cao Cao——!" Sun Jian looked up to the sky and roared, it was the sorrowful cry of the tiger.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu on the side also showed sadness, Sun Ce and Sun Quan have a deep brotherly relationship, and even the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Quan is also very good, at this time Sun Quan died, they naturally felt uncomfortable. The rest of the people, such as Tai Shici, Zhou Tai and others, were silent, leaving this Jiangdong tiger alone to vent the endless anger and sadness in his chest.

Sun Jian, whose heart was filled with endless pain, was completely crazy at this time, only to see that his eyes were red, and his originally resolute face had now become extremely distorted and hideous, looking extremely terrifying.

"Send troops! I'm going to attack Xuchang again! If Han Dang's death only made Sun Jian unable to keep calm for a short time, then Sun Quan's killing by Cao Cao made Sun Jian completely lose his mind. The only thing he had on his mind now was to gather all the troops he had at hand and attack Xuchang again.

After conquering Xuchang, we must slaughter Cao Cao's entire clan and lose the hatred of his son with snow!

"Lord...... We have few soldiers, and the war is unfavorable. "Now, even if it will disobey Sun Jian's intentions, Zhou Yu has to speak out to dissuade him, after all, watching the soldiers go to death in vain is not the work of a qualified strategist.

Zhou Yu was also saddened by Sun Quan's death, but his identity and duties prevented him from being lost in the same anger as Sun Jian.

Attack Xuchang again? Is it possible? Now the total number of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized by the self-army in Wancheng is only 40,000, and the number of Cao troops in Xuchang City is more than twice that of the self-army.

Zhou Yu could only sigh silently in his heart at this time, this expedition was really a big loss.

What made Zhou Yu feel most depressed was that the reinforcements sent by Cao Cao to outside Xuchang City at the beginning were really only a few thousand people!

With only a few thousand people, tens of thousands of his army returned in vain, how could Zhou Yu, who thought highly of himself, not feel depressed?

The number of reinforcements had been found not long after Sun Jian's army retreated into Wancheng, but even if he knew the truth at that time, what could the army do with the other party?

Thousands of people in the field may not be enough, but once they enter the city, they are also a force to defend the city that cannot be ignored, and Xun Yu temporarily recruited some people, so that the defenders in Xuchang City can barely make up 20,000 people. Although the number of your opponent is still twice that of your opponent, the morale of your own army has been lost, and the possibility of conquering the city is infinitely close to zero. In addition, Sun Quan fell into the hands of the enemy, and the self-army had no possibility of attacking the city.

Sun Jian was still very confident in welcoming back Sun Quan at first, in his opinion, although he killed Cao Cao's general Cao Ren under Xuchang City, this move may anger Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's army also killed his own general Han Dang, which is regarded as a report and a report, and the two sides should be cleared. What's more, he is ready to exchange a large sum of money and grain for Sun Quan, with this large amount of compensation, Cao Cao should not have any reason to harm Sun Quan.

But all this was just Sun Jian's wishful thinking after all, and Sun Quan was ultimately victimized by Cao Cao. Not only that, after Sun Quan's death, the other party did not even return his body to him.

In other words, as a father, he can't bury his son well.

If he had known this outcome from the beginning, I am afraid that Sun Jian would have desperately attacked Xuchang regardless of everything, even if most of the 40,000 troops were killed or wounded.

At that time, if you launch a fierce attack, although it is extremely difficult, there is still a possibility of capturing Xuchang City after all. However, now that Cao Cao's army has returned, it is just empty words to capture Xuchang City.

"Fewer soldiers? Then transfer troops from Jiangdong and transfer all the troops in Jiangdong! I'm going to have a showdown with Cao Cao! Sun Jian roared.

Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly, a city guarded by 100,000 elite soldiers, how many men and horses do you need to take down, 200,000? Two hundred and fifty thousand? I'm afraid it's not enough.

Now, even if all the strength of Jiangdong is exhausted, it can only make up 1230,000 soldiers and horses. Fight with Cao Cao? Yes, I'm afraid that after this decisive battle, Cao Cao will be able to completely reduce a threat.

"Lord, if the troops of Jiangdong attack Xuchang, if it is captured, it is good to say, but if it cannot be captured, the foundation of the lord will be destroyed in one fell swoop!" In any case, Zhou Yu would not agree to continue to attack Xuchang.

The best time has been missed, and if you force it, you will only hurt yourself.

Sun Jian was very angry, very angry! Why did Cao Cao kill his own son! Why did Zhou Yu oppose his own use of soldiers! Why is there no way to take the enemy Cao Cao himself!

However, although Sun Jian is extremely angry, he is not a person who is stubborn and self-serving, and only knows people who are bent on going his own way. Although after learning of Sun Quan's death, he completely ignored the advice of Zhou Yu and others, and muttered that he would send troops to Xuchang again even at all costs, but finally changed his mind. Sun Jian may fall into a momentary anger or even lose his mind because of the death of his beloved son, but he is a hero after all, and he will not always fall into this impulse. After a night, Sun Jian, who vented his inner grief and anger for a day, although he was still immersed in the grief of losing his son at the moment, his mind was also a lot clearer, and he finally canceled the idea of attacking Xuchang.

However, as a messenger who communicated with Cao Cao to no avail, Lu Kang was not so lucky.

My son is dead, why don't you die! This is what Sun Jian thinks about Lu Kang in his heart now.

He can consider the overall situation, forcibly suppress the pain of losing his son, and no longer fight Cao Cao for the time being. But I can't relieve my anger with Cao Cao, can't I help you Lu Kang!

Although the word "anger" may sound excessive, the vast majority of people will act in anger when they are extremely emotional.

Lu Kang, as the envoy responsible for bringing Sun Quan back from Cao Ying, failed in the mission at this time, and Sun Jian naturally felt unhappy about him.

"Lu Kang neglects his duties, he should be punished!" Sun Jian gave this order with a black face.

Regarding the killing of Lu Kang, Zhou Yu also had clear objections. The Lu family is the largest family in Jiangdong, and Lu Kang is the contemporary head of the Lu family, killing him may cause countless troubles.

However, Sun Jian first folded Han Dang, and then lost Sun Quan, and twice wanted to take revenge and raise troops, but was blocked by Zhou Yu, and he was afraid that he had already left a mustard in his heart. If it weren't for Sun Jian's view that he and Sun Ce were sworn brothers, and it was indeed for Jiangdong's sake, I am afraid that he would have embarrassed himself a long time ago. Now if he tries to persuade Sun Jian not to kill Lu Kang, the other party may not really give him a good look in the future.

Forget it, Lu Kang will die if he dies, it's a big deal to spend more effort in the future to keep an eye on the movements on Lu's side.

In this way, Lu Kang, the seventy-year-old head of the Lu family, was tragically beheaded.

Before he died, Lu Kang silently lamented his tragic fate in his heart, and at the same time hoped that the little rabbit cubs in his family could calm down and never act impulsively because of his death. Otherwise, the Lu clan may really face the fate of annihilation......

————————————————————————————————

One morning, in the military camp on the outskirts of Xuchang, Gao Shun was preparing to start his morning training.

Zhang He was also watching from the sidelines at this time, after the Guandu Dou Formation was defeated by Gao Shun, he had been thinking about how Gao Shun's trapping camp was trained. Now that Zhang He has been demoted to Cao Cao, he naturally has a lot of opportunities to observe carefully.

And Gao Shun is not the kind of person who likes to hide his secrets, and he did not hesitate to agree to Zhang He's request to observe his training.

In addition to Gao Shun and Zhang He, Dian Wei was also in the barracks. Today is Xu Chu on duty to protect Cao Cao, Dian Wei rarely has a little free, thinking that he and this righteous brother seem to have not exchanged feelings for a while, so Dian Wei also came to the barracks early, one is idle to watch Gao Shun's training, and the other is to prepare to wait for Gao Shun's training to end immediately pull him to drink.

And just as Gao Shun was about to start the exercise, there was a commotion outside the camp.

"What's going on?" Gao Shun couldn't help frowning, in Xuchang City, is there anyone so bold who dares to make trouble when the general is training?

Gao Shun, Zhang He, Dian Wei and others walked outside the camp and found that the sergeant guarding the camp gate was arguing with a middle-aged young shirt scribe.

The scribe's appearance was a bit elegant, but his attitude was extremely arrogant, with his nostrils facing the sky, and he didn't seem to take anyone else seriously at all. And the gatekeeper seems to be an ant-like existence in his eyes.

Who is this guy? Cao Cao's newly acquired strategist? Gao Shun kept having question marks in his heart. Although Cao Cao's literati themselves are not very familiar with them, they can at least recognize them, and the person in front of him has never seen them at all, and it is estimated that he has just been cast into Cao Cao's account.

It's just that his attitude is very bad, and he actually spread wild in front of his military camp, which makes Gao Shun very unhappy.

No matter who he is? If you dare to make trouble in front of your own barracks, you must teach the other party a lesson, otherwise how will you mix in front of this group of junior brothers in the future?

As for how to explain to Cao Cao, Gao Shun was not worried at all. Although Cao Cao is thirsty for talent, he has always judged things impartially, no matter how talented the other party is, as long as it is really unreasonable, Gao Shun believes that even if it is in front of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will not favor the other party.

And don't forget, he is Cao Cao's brother-in-law, even if Cao Cao wants to be partial, he has to be partial to himself.

"Xu You, Xu Ziyuan." Zhang He saw that Gao Shun didn't know the other party, so he said in his ear.

It turned out to be him? Gao Shun's eyes lit up.
