Although he borrowed wine to dispel his sorrows, he seemed to have lost his fighting spirit and gave up hope of turning the tables, but in his heart, the pride of the little overlord of Jiangdong was still not lost.

Let him just give up resistance, kneel down to Su Zhe grovelly, and surrender to the opponent he once despised, how could he endure this unprecedented humiliation.

So he hesitated.

Sun Shangxiang was anxious, and hurriedly persuaded: "Big brother, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, haven't you seen it now, there is only one master of destiny, and it is destined not to be you, but that Su Zhe." ”

Sun Ce's body was shocked, and his heart was deeply pierced by his sister's words.

"It's not a shame to lose to the Lord of Destiny, Xiang Yu lost to Liu Bang back then, will future generations laugh at Xiang Yu as a coward?"

"Nope! Xiang Yu has tried his best, but he still lost to Liu Bang, the master of destiny, and when later generations mention Xiang Yu, don't they still regard him as a hero? ”

Sun Shangxiang knew that Sun Ce had let go of his facelessness, so he promoted him to the point where he could be compared to Xiang Yu.

Sun Ce was slightly moved, as if he had been moved.

Sun Shangxiang continued to explain: "I think that King Wei is also a magnanimous male lord, even if you surrender to him, he will definitely not embarrass you, and you don't have to worry about your dignity being humiliated at all." ”

"Moreover, you and Shao'er can not only save their lives, but also be rich and prosperous for the rest of their lives, can all this not be worth your face?"

Sun Shangxiang was a bitter persuasion, and said all the words of persuasion that he could think of.

Sun Ce raised his head and looked at Sun Shangxiang in surprise, "Little sister, you weren't such a person before, with your temperament, shouldn't you rather the whole clan be wiped out, but rather die than give in?" ”

Sun Shangxiang smiled bitterly, "Don't hide it from my eldest brother, I used to think so, but after experiencing being pushed off the horse by Sun Quan and seeing what Sun Quan did with all kinds of beasts, I realized that the reputation of the family, the so-called pride and self-esteem, are all unimportant, and it is best to live." ”

Sun Ce's body was shocked, and suddenly a flash of aura flashed in his eyes, as if he had been inspired by some kind of enlightenment.

He stood up and paced through the hall without saying a word for a long time.

After a while, he looked at Han Dang Sansan, and asked Zhengse, "Three old generals, what do you think?" ”

Han Dang and Huang Gai both looked at Cheng Pu, who was the oldest.

Cheng Pu sighed: "The three of us old guys, since we followed General Wentai, have been determined to fight for the Sun family, our lives and honor are no longer important, whether to surrender or fight to the death, but it is up to the lord to decide." ”

The meaning of the three veterans couldn't be clearer, if you Sun Ce want to surrender, we will follow you, if you plan to resist to the end, we will accompany you to death.

Sun Ce's body was shocked, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved between his eyebrows, deeply touched by the loyalty of the three veterans.

"Although the three old generals are not surnamed Sun, they are ten thousand times more loyal than my beast brother, and they are ten thousand times more affectionate and righteous, and my Sun Ce can fight side by side with the three old generals, which is really the greatest honor in my life."

Sun Ce was both moved and sad, and sighed constantly.

"Big brother, the three old generals followed you and your father and fought for our Sun clan for half their lives, and it should have been time to enjoy their old age, can you still bear to let them bury you with you?" Sun Shangxiang asked.

Sun Ce's eyes lit up, looking at the three old faces, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

Then, he strode up the stairs and poured a jug of wine up.

Syllable!

He smashed the wine jug on the ground and shouted: "Han Dang, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu obey the order!" ”

The three veterans were shocked first, and then knelt down in front of the steps, waiting for dispatch.

Sun Ce took a deep breath and said, "I now give an order in the name of the Lord of Jiangdong to order the three of you to quickly escort your little sister out of the city and go to the Wei camp to surrender to Su Zhe, the king of Wei, there must be no mistake!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Sun Shangxiang took a long breath, and his heart was overjoyed, thinking that Sun Ce was enlightened.

The three veterans were in a dignified figure, although they were unwilling in their hearts, they could only shake their heads and sigh, and reluctantly received the military order.

At this time, Sun Ce said again: "You go and tell Su Zhe, the king of Wei, that this is already the limit of what my Sun Ce can do, he wants me to surrender to him, but it is impossible, my Sun Ce would rather die standing than live on his knees!" ”

Everyone was taken aback.

Sun Shangxiang was even more discolored, he never expected Sun Ce to make such a decision.

He wanted Han Dang and them to live, but he had to swear to defend his dignity and risk his life to fight Su Zhe to the end.

"Big brother, why are you still so stubborn, don't I understand enough, if you don't surrender, Su Zhe will kill Shao'er!" Sun Shangxiang said anxiously.

Sun Ce sighed: "I have already said that this is the limit of what I can do, as for Shao'er, even if God makes him my son Sun Ce, then he can only accept such a fate, in this life, I can only be sorry for him." ”

"Big brother, you-"

"I've made up my mind, you don't have to say more!" Sun Ce waved his hand and interrupted Sun Shangxiang sharply.

Sun Shangxiang was choked back, looking at his brother eagerly, but helpless.

She knows Sun Ce's character very well, and since she has made a choice, she will never look back.

Cheng Pu knelt down and said angrily: "If the lord does not surrender, the three of us will never surrender, and we are willing to follow the lord to the end." ”

"Fight to the death!" Huang Gai and Han Dang also knelt down.

Sun Ce said sharply: "Isn't what I said just now clear enough, since the three of you serve me as the master, you must obey my orders, unless, you also want to betray me and be disloyal ministers!" ”

The three veterans didn't know what to say, and looked at each other helplessly.

At this time, Sun Shangxiang took a long breath and sighed bitterly: "That's it, since the eldest brother has made up his mind, what else do we have to say, three old generals, follow me out of the city." ”

Han Dang and the other three looked at Sun Ce, waiting for Sun Ce to change his mind.

Sun Ce turned around and didn't look at them anymore.

The three of them were helpless, and after being entangled for a long time, they had to sigh, help each other to stand up, follow Sun Shangxiang, and leave silently.

The four of them left the military mansion and left the city silently all the way.

When they walked out of the city gate, Sun Shangxiang looked back at Hefei City, but saw that Sun Ce was already standing at the head of the city, silently watching them leave.

"Big brother, whether you live or die, it can only depend on your creation, alas, ......"

Sun Shangxiang shook his head and sighed, no longer nostalgic to turn back, beat his horse and whip, and went straight to Wei Ying.

At the head of the city, Sun Ce watched the four of them leave, his eyes shot at Wei Ying from afar, and murmured: "Su Zhe, let the horse come over, I, Sun Ce, will use my life to defend the dignity of my little overlord!" ”

With that, Sun Ce turned around and left.

Xu Shu, who had been silent, looked at Sun Ce's departing back, his face showed deep disappointment, and muttered: "I still looked away after all, it seems that it is time for me to leave......"
