PENG Lize,

Sun Ben looked at Liu Xun, who was fleeing in the wilderness, and waved his hand to stop his pursuers.

Sun Fu on the side was puzzled,

"Brother, shouldn't we take advantage of the victory to pursue now? Liu Xun was in a hurry to rush back to Lujiang, he was ambushed by us, he couldn't make other preparations in advance, according to the art of war, why shouldn't he let the tiger return to the mountain? Young Sun Fu asked.

Sun Ben shook his head, chuckled, and replied,

"Little brother, the art of war is dead, people are alive, of course the art of war is correct, but many times it depends on the overall situation. As soon as Liu Xun was defeated, Lujiang naturally fell into the hands of my Sun family, so now in this area, the only enemy of our Jiangdong Army is Huang Zu of Jiangxia. But Huang Zu's shrunken turtle has been defending Jiangxia and not coming out, and it is not easy to attack Jiangxia, and if it continues, it is more likely to wait for reinforcements from Xiangyang Liu Biao, so if you want to defeat Huang Zu quickly, the best way is to lure the snake out of the hole! Just like this Liu Xun, as long as that Huang Zu can take the initiative to come out of Jiangxia, it will be much easier to fight a field battle than a siege war. ”

Sun Fu was stunned for a moment, immediately pondered, and hurriedly said happily,

"Brother, what do you mean is that Liu Xun will ask Huang Zu for help when he escapes, and then he will be able to lure Huang Zu out!"

Sun Ben smiled and nodded,

"Exactly. The only one in the vicinity who dared to oppose our Sun family was Huang Zu, so Liu Xun would definitely ask Huang Zu for help. The so-called cold lips and teeth, it is impossible for Huang Zu to sit back and watch Liu Xun perish, he knows very well that once we free our hands, the next one will beat him Jiangxia. So, even if Huang Zu didn't want to send troops to help, he had to send troops to help. ”

As he spoke, Sun Ben saw that Liu Xun had run away, so he waved his hand again and led the troops to slowly chase after him.

"We will hang them slowly, not giving them a chance to breathe, and arrange to rest in turn these days, and when Huang Zu brings troops to help, it will be another big battle." Sun Ben said in a deep voice.

Sun Fu showed a look of excitement, looking at his own brother, his eyes were full of admiration,

"Brother, you are really like a god with soldiers, and you will definitely be a general in the future!"

Sun Fu's thoughts are also the mentality of most of the Sun family now, although they didn't say anything about it, but the children of the Sun family vaguely felt that their family would definitely be the emperor in the future. Then at that time, Sun Ce will naturally be the emperor, Sun Quan, it is estimated that he will be the prime minister, and now, in Sun Fu's eyes, the future position of the great general is probably his own brother Sun Ben!

"Hahaha, that's good luck for you."

Sun Ben laughed, but Sun Fu couldn't see a trace of bitterness in the smile of his incomparably admired eldest brother. If nothing else, when Huang Zu is taken, Hua Xin will inevitably take the initiative to surrender, and at that time, according to Sun Ce's original arrangement, the two brothers Sun Ben and Sun Fu will be Yuzhang Taishou and Luling Taishou respectively.

At first glance, this status is not small at all, and now those who can be Taishou in Jiangdong are all older generation figures like Wu Jing and Zhu Zhi, Sun Ben and Sun Fu are not very old, and they are still brothers, and they are divided into two places. But that's all there is to it.

Once Sun Ce captures Jiangxia, then Yuzhang Luling will become the southernmost part of the Sun family's power, but next, if the Sun family wants to win the Central Plains, it will definitely expand to the north. In this way, the southernmost place suddenly became the most idle place, the most leisurely, and the most suitable for retirement, which also means that there is no war to be gained. Not surprisingly, this will be the apex of his Sun Ben, in other words, he has actually been abandoned by Sun Ce, all because of the original escape from Shouchun.

General? Hehe, I'm afraid it's hopeless in this life.

In addition, this so-called plan to lure the snake out of the hole was actually not what Sun Ben himself thought, but what Zhou Yu told him before leaving. Therefore, Sun Ben knows even more that there are countless capable people under Sun Ce's command, even if there is no original thing, if he really wants to take the turn, he may not be able to turn Sun Ben's turn.

No matter what, the bloodline of Sun Qiang's family was finally preserved by Sun Ben. But in Sun Ben's heart, there is still a trace of unwillingness, his ambition, his talent, will there be no place for him! In the days to come, could it be that his grandson Ben could only be in this most remote area, lonely and old? Sun Ben himself is just that, his innocent younger brother, his life has just begun, he has not experienced anything, he has not stood out, he has not become famous, is it about to usher in the end? !

This time, it will be Sun Ben's last chance, and it is also his last chance to perform, Sun Ben still wants to try it one last time, prove himself well, and see if he can make Sun Ce change his mind.

······

LU Jiang,

With the help of Qiao Xuan, Sun Ce's army did not encounter much difficulty, and the city gate of one side took the initiative to open wide, and the remaining defenders could only surrender obediently in the end.

"Are you going to hand over Lujiang to Li Shu of that Demon Gate?" Zhou Yu asked Sun Cedao.

"Lujiang's army has been taken away by Liu Xun, and the rest is just an empty shell. Let Li Shu be the Taishou, but also to reassure the Demon Gate, so that they can obediently hand over Shouchun. After all, we don't have the energy to delay on Shouchun's side, and the next step is to fight Jiangxia! Sun Ce's eyes narrowed and he said.

"What about Qiao Xuan's side?" Zhou Yu couldn't help asking. After all, this time to win Lujiang, the biggest credit is not the Demon Gate, but Qiao Xuan. If it weren't for the sudden intervention of the Demon Gate, it stands to reason that this position of Lujiang Taishou should be Qiao Xuan's.

"Qiao Xuan is married to his daughter, give him another Taishou, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat it. Also, if you look at this, that's what gives me a bit of a headache. Sun Ce took out a letter and handed it to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu took it, opened it and looked at it, and then raised his eyebrows,

"This Qiao family, it's really interesting, this timing, it must not be a coincidence, right?"

It turned out that this was the letter from Mrs. Wu asking Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to marry Xiao Qiao respectively. At this time, it is impossible for Mrs. Wu to arrange this marriage so coincidentally, so there must be the Qiao family working behind the scenes. It's just that what makes Zhou Yu feel strange is that the goals of the Qiao family are a little wrong.

"I'm afraid I changed my mind on the fly." Sun Ce speculated that such a major event, he didn't think that there would be a problem in the transmission of the news, "Qiao Xuan's appetite was great at the beginning, and he must have been preparing for this matter for a long time, but probably the progress of Wu County was a little slow, and it coincided with the time when Lujiang was short of food, Qiao Xuan couldn't wait, so he had to take the initiative to come to the door, so he lowered the conditions a little." ”

Zhou Yu nodded, these two people's minds are on the battlefield and on national affairs, and they don't care too much about these small things of intrigue and power struggle, so they won't pursue the specific truth too much.
