"Father, everything is ready, we can go back to Wu County tomorrow." Sun Ce, dressed in military uniform, walked into Sun Jian's room and reported.

"Well, Ce'er informs you, let's leave tomorrow, your mother and your brothers and sisters are still waiting for us to go home." Sun Jian smiled, it has been almost a year since he left home, even if he is an iron-clad man, he needs the warmth of his family.

Sun Ce nodded, but did not leave immediately, but continued to say to his father with a grin and a little twisted: "Father, isn't it a little too little for us to only bring three thousand people back to Wu County this time?" ”

"Huh?"

"Father, the child means that we have to pass through Liu Biao and Yuan Shu's territory along the way, in case they have a thief's heart, we will only have three thousand people at that time, which is not enough to protect your father's safety!" Sun Ce said with some concern, it was not that he was suspicious, but that his second brother Sun Yang had told him before leaving that when he and his father returned to Jiangdong, they must be careful of Jingzhou and Yuan Shu!

Sun Jian stared at Sun Ce for a long time, Sun Ce didn't dare to look at his father, he could only lower his head slightly, he didn't know if he was right, he only knew that since his second brother had told him everything, then he had to remind his father!

After staring at Sun Ce for a long time, Sun Jian suddenly burst out laughing, making Sun Ce confused.

"Hehe, Ce'er doesn't look like your temperament, if you can say such things at this juncture, it must be Yang'er who told you!" Sun Jian was a little amused in his heart, he knew his two sons very well, and at this time, except for his cautious second son Sun Yang, there was probably no one else.

"Father is wise, it was the second brother who instructed the child, but the child also thinks that we only bring 3,000 people is still too little!" Sun Ce touched his 9 heads, and he was not surprised that his father could guess for the first time that it was his second brother who said it, but Sun Ce also had a faint premonition in his heart that something would happen on their way back!

"Hehe, you guys!" Sun Jian stroked his beard and smiled, and did not answer Sun Ce immediately, since he decided to take only three thousand people back to Wu County, he naturally had his own reasons.

"Ce'er, my father knows that you and Yang'er are for your father's good, but do you know why your father only brought 3,000 people?" Here Sun Jian also thought about it, he wanted to see if his eldest son could figure out the key to this.

After listening to Sun Jian's words, Sun Ce raised his head and glanced at his father, and after a little thought, he came up with the answer: "Father, do you want to keep some more people for Nanyang?" "Compared with his father and others, he came to Nanyang first, naturally some of the situation in Nanyang Sun Ce is also clear, don't look at Nanyang now claims to have 50,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact there are less than 30,000 people, and these 30,000 people are actually worthy of a battle, except for more than 10,000 Jiangdong soldiers, the rest are basically new troops, and there is no combat effectiveness!

"Hehe, Ce'er, you're right, for the sake of Nanyang, you have also been in Nanyang for so long, you won't be unclear about the situation in Nanyang, there are enemies on all sides, there are many defensive places, although the internal troubles have been removed, but the soldiers and horses are still very stretched, do you think that your father doesn't want to be careful? But compared to the safety of the father, Nanyang is more important! ”

"But ......" Sun Ce opened his mouth, he knew Nanyang's situation very well, but in his heart he always thought that his father was more important than Nanyang, and they could get it back if something happened to Nanyang, but if something happened to his father, there would never be a way to save it.

"Okay, Ce'er, this matter is decided, you go down and prepare, your father has already decided!" Sun Jian waved his hand and refused Sun Ce's advice again, asking him to bet on Nanyang, which they had finally gained a foothold, Sun Jian was unwilling to accept it no matter what he said in his heart, Sun Jian had only one thought at this time: Nanyang would never be lost!

"No!"

Seeing that his father's attitude was so resolute, Sun Ce also secretly shook his head and left, his father's authority, Sun Ce didn't dare to object to it now, the only thing he could do now was to do his thing well and escort his father back to Wu County safely!

A day passed like this, and early the next morning, Sun Jian left Wancheng with Sun Ce and a few old brothers, and the number of sergeants accompanying him was not much, just over 3,000 people.

"Mr. Han, if the lord brings such a few people, will the safety on the road be a problem?" Looking at Sun Jian, who was gradually moving away, Huang Zhong, who was standing on the city tower, opened his mouth to ask Han Chun, who had been silent beside him.

Han Chun's eyelids blinked, as if he had just recovered from the fugue, he looked back at Huang Zhong and said something that made Huang Zhong plausible: "Han Sheng, the lord has his own choice, so we don't need to worry, everything is destined by God." After finishing speaking, Han Chun turned around and went down to Wancheng without saying a word, leaving Huang Zhong alone to ponder......

After leaving the boundary of Nanyang without any danger along the way, Sun Ce was very energetic, not only sent a large number of scouts to investigate the situation ahead, but also sent his own guards and his father's personal guards to firmly protect his father behind him, for fear that his father would have some accidents.

Sun Ce's actions, Sun Jian naturally saw it in his heart, but he didn't break it, his son was out of filial piety, and of course Sun Jian accepted it calmly.

Under Sun Ce's strict investigation, they didn't encounter anything suspicious along the way, but the thieves found a lot, according to Sun Ce's previous temperament, he would definitely lead the troops to eliminate harm for the people, but now the first task is to protect his father's safety, Sun Ce didn't have much to do, just sent a team of people to warn, and some locations conducive to ambushes were also occupied by their people for the first time to ensure that Sun Jian could pass smoothly......

Soon, Sun Jian and his party were about to enter the boundary of Jingzhou, that is, the last Jiangxia that blocked them from returning to Wu County.

Yangzhou, Chaisang City.

Sun Yang, who has been supervising the water army, has always felt a little restless recently, and he always feels that something bad is going to happen recently! Of course, where this uneasiness comes from, Sun Yang knows very well in his heart, it is his father's.

"Senior brother, count the days, my father and eldest brother are about to arrive in Jiangxia/" Sun Yang inexplicably said to Guo Jia beside him.

"Count the days, it seems, what's wrong? Are you worried? Looking at Sun Yang's unyielding appearance, Guo Jia was also a little strange, Sun Yang's changes in the past few days naturally couldn't hide Guo Jia, who had been by his side.

"Senior brother, are you still worried about your uncle?" Sun Yang's thoughts, Guo Jia is also very clear.

"Senior brother, no, I always feel that something is going to happen, I have to go to Liyang!" Sun Yang's uneasiness in his heart became stronger at this time, and he felt that he had to go to Jiangxia or Liyang to meet his father..
