Sun Jian was very irritable, he had experienced countless wars, and he participated in dozens of cities. It's just that there has never been a city that can be like the Xiangyang City in front of him, which makes him full of helplessness and grievances.

Siege Xiangyang City? Sun Jian's troops were insufficient. Storm? With the defense of Xiangyang City, Sun Jian felt that even if his troops were all dead, he might not be able to capture Xiangyang. After all, Liu Biaoke is in Xiangyang City.

Just give up on retreating? Sun Jian was reluctant, Yuan Shu promised that as long as he captured Jingzhou, he would be the pastor of Jingzhou, and in short, he would give Jingzhou to Sun Jian. And now, as long as Xiangyang is captured and Liu Biao and others are captured, then Jingzhou will definitely be able to decide without a fight.

Especially, now that Jiangxia County can't draw troops to support Jingzhou, how can Sun Jian be willing to give up such a good opportunity? You must know that once Jiangxia sailed from the Yangtze River into Hanshui and arrived all the way to Xiangyang, Sun Jian could only honestly retreat to Dengcheng unless he ignored the enemy on his back.

In this way, another day passed, Sun Jian sat in the tent, looking at the love generals on the left and right, and a helplessness suddenly appeared in his heart. For he suddenly found that there did not seem to be even a man under his command who could be called a counselor.

In the past, he didn't have any need for strategists, even if he encountered some trouble, it was enough to discuss with Cheng Pu, Sun Jing and others. But now, when Cheng Pu and Sun Jing were not around, he found that he didn't even have a person to discuss.

Well, Sun Jian also knew that even if Sun Jing and Cheng Pu were around, they wouldn't have any ideas. After many years of getting along, Sun Jian didn't understand how much ability the two of them had?

And below, Huang Gai and the others also looked at Sun Jian helplessly, they knew what Sun Jian was worried about, but they really couldn't help Sun Jian plan anything. Perhaps the only thing that could be thought of was for them to personally lead the elite to attack the city wall and see if they could capture the city in one fell swoop. But obviously, it is impossible for Sun Jian to agree to this kind of thing.

Just as everyone was staring at each other, and was about to end this silent and awkward so-called meeting, a rush of footsteps came, and everyone followed the sound, but a soldier was walking briskly towards it.

"Report, the general's son sent a villain to send this letter to the general." After the soldier came in to give a salute, he took out a copy of Jian Ce and said in a respectful voice.

"Ce'er's letter?" Sun Jian muttered inexplicably, and then took the letter from the hand of the guard and unfolded it. Just didn't look at it twice, Sun Jian's expression became weird, because the content of this letter was to persuade Sun Jian to withdraw from the army.

The letter bluntly mentioned the fact that Sun Jian could not capture Xiangyang, and at the same time analyzed Sun Jian's current situation. Finally, it was suggested that Liu Biao might send people to other places to ask for help, and attack Sun Jian with the soldiers in the city.

"That's what Ce'er came up with?!" Sun Jian couldn't believe it, Sun Jian knew his own kid very well, and it was impossible to make such a detailed analysis.

"It's Ah Yu!" Sun Jian's mind came up with the appearance of his son worshipping his brother, unlike Sun Ce, Zhou Yu's favorite thing is to read, and he was also present when Yuan Shu took the school Zhou Yu in the past. I have to admit that although Zhou Yu is young, in terms of knowledge alone, that kid in his own family is completely incomparable.

"Lord, what is the matter with the letter from the eldest prince?" Huang Gai on the side asked respectfully. It's not that he is gossiping, but seeing Sun Jian's expression constantly changing, he is worried about what is wrong in Nanyang.

"Hehe, nothing." Sun Jian put down the letter and chuckled, then stood up and looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Pass my order and prepare to retreat!" ”

"Retreat?!" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, you must know that Sun Jian still looked like he would not give up if he did not attack Xiangyang just now, why did he change his attitude all of a sudden? However, although they were puzzled, the crowd didn't ask much, because they had already wanted to retreat.

After all, if you can't attack it, what can you do if you stay here all the time?

"Tsk, Sun Wentai, Sun Wentai, I can't imagine that you have been fighting the world for more than ten years, but you need a child who has not yet performed the crown salute to help!" Sun Jian shook his head and laughed at himself.

The news of Sun Jian's withdrawal of troops naturally could not be concealed from Liu Biao, but Liu Biao did not agree to the pursuit proposal of Cai Mao, Huang Zhong and others.

"Although Sun Jian withdrew his troops, he only had to do it as a last resort. And its formation is neat and its morale is high, if it pursues, it may not be able to defeat it......" Liu Biao said quite tactfully.

In this regard, although Cai Mao and others were unwilling, they could only watch Sun Jian leave.

Nanyang Champion County.

"Brother Xian, will my father really withdraw his troops?" Sun Ce asked worriedly. Ever since he heard Zhou Yu analyze the situation on Sun Jian's side, he was very worried about Sun Jian's comfort.

"Don't worry, my uncle is not a person who insists on going his own way, and after reading the letter, my uncle will definitely lead the army back to Dengcheng." Zhou Yu chuckled, his tone was very affirmative.

Seeing this, Sun Ce suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, the virtuous brother is really powerful, and a letter can persuade his father." ”

"Hehe, it's just a trivial matter~" Zhou Yu smiled, but in his tone, he was very proud.

Speaking of which, Zhou Yu is quite an arrogant person, and he usually doesn't care about the praise of others at all. But if it was Sun Ce, it would be completely different......

Then the two kept talking and laughing, obviously after solving Sun Jian's matter, the somewhat dignified atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

When they were separated, Sun Ce suddenly took out a small box and handed it to Zhou Yu with some twisting, Zhou Yu opened it and saw that it was a white feather fan.

picked it up casually and shook it, not to mention, with the green shirt and elegant temperament on his body, he really looked like a clever military advisor. Although the workmanship of this white feather fan...... Something is not good.

"Ahem, I see that those Confucian scholars like to use this thing, so I bought you a handful." Sun Ce saw Zhou Yu's strange gaze, and quickly coughed twice to explain. It's just that I don't know why, but my face is red.

"With this kind of workmanship, how can anyone dare to sell it?" Zhou Yu thought speechlessly.

However, although he guessed that this white feather fan was made by Sun Ce himself, Zhou Yu did not say it. Just looked at Sun Ce with a smile and smiled, "Brother's gift, my brother likes it very much~"

As he spoke, he suddenly took off the jade pendant he was wearing around his neck and handed it to Sun Ce, "This jade pendant was accidentally obtained by my younger brother when he was a child, although it is not a precious thing, but he has never left his body. Now, it's for my brother. ”

"This ......" Sun Ce heard this, and he didn't know whether he was excited or what, so he stood in place with the jade pendant, but he couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, picked up the jade pendant from Sun Ce's hand, took a step forward, and brought it to Sun Ce with his own hands.
