Sun Jian took Sun Ce and knelt down to accept the reward.

Subsequently, Yuan Shu made Sun Ce a pioneer officer.

"I hope that your father and son will work together to protect me and repel the Cao thief!"

"Minister, Commander!" Sun Jian and Sun Ce responded in unison.

The two looked at each other after getting up, and then Sun Jian took the initiative to speak.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a reluctant request, and I hope Your Majesty will agree."

Yuan Shu frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously he was dissatisfied with Sun Jian's request when he came up.

It's just that he knows that the only thing he relies on now is Sun Jian, and he can't offend him too.

So Yuan Shu nodded: "Wentai, if you have any requirements, just mention it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!" ”

When Sun Jian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said his thoughts: "Your Majesty, the minister's family is still in Wu County, and the minister heard that Liu Bei has led people to the city of Wu County, and the minister hopes that Your Majesty can send some people to help Wu County." ”

"This ......" Yuan Shu frowned slightly, he refused from the bottom of his heart about sending troops to support Wu Jun, because he had no more soldiers to send.

At present, the only soldiers that can be mobilized are the 50,000 Shouchun defenders, and the 80,000 Jiangdong troops brought by Sun Jian.

This adds up to only 130,000 troops.

But Cao Ang brought an army of 300,000!

130,000 to 300,000, it would be good to be able to hold Shouchun, where are the troops to support Wu County.

However, after all, Sun Jian's family is still there, if he doesn't send someone to go, Sun Jian will be cold, then there will really be no one available under his account.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu waved his hand: "Wentai, it's not that I don't agree to you, it's just that Cao Ang has 300,000 soldiers, approaching Shouchun City, the soldiers in this city, plus the soldiers you brought, add up to only 100,000, if you divide your troops to help Wu County, I'm afraid it will be Shouchun in danger!" ”

When Sun Jian heard this, he also frowned slightly.

Sun Ce, on the side, spoke directly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that only 100,000 soldiers and horses are enough to defend Shouchun City, so please ask Your Majesty to mobilize 30,000 horses and horses to help Wu County!" ”

As soon as Yuan Shu heard this, he was directly stunned.

Would you like to hear what you're talking about?

Want to rely on 100,000 people to defend the 300,000 tiger and wolf army brought by Cao Ang?

What are you daydreaming about?

Yuan Shu's face was embarrassed, and even Sun Jian on the side reprimanded in a low voice: "Bo Fu, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Sun Ce glanced at his father, then knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists at Yuan Shu and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has read the battle report of General Qiaorui's defeat in front. ”

"That Cao army can quickly defeat General Qiao Rui, relying on the heavy cavalry of the Cao army, tiger and leopard cavalry! This kind of heavy cavalry can have a good effect when the two armies are fighting. ”

"But now, we are defending the city, not the two armies facing each other, so the tiger and leopard cavalry under his Cao Ang has no use!"

"As for the other sergeants under Cao Ang, most of them are recruits, and their combat effectiveness and combat experience are insufficient, and the sergeants on His Majesty's side are all experienced in a hundred battles, so the minister said that only 100,000 troops are needed to defend Shouchun City."

"Cao Jun implemented the policy of tuntian before, and the minister thought that they would definitely withdraw before the autumn harvest, otherwise the grain would be rotten in the ground if no one collected it."

"In addition, there is also the Xiliang Army in the northwest, Cao Ang will definitely not dare to make a desperate bet and fight us to the end!"

After listening to Sun Ce's analysis, Yuan Shu said three times in a row: "Wentai, your son is really a young hero, and the blue is better than the blue!" ”

Seeing this, Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty has won the award." ”

Yuan Shu was overjoyed in his heart, and directly agreed to the request of Sun's father and son: "As soon as the Jiangdong Army arrives, then immediately divide 30,000 troops and rush to the aid of Wu County!" ”

When Sun Jian and Sun Ce heard this, the big stone in their hearts fell to the ground.

At this time, Yuan Shu intended to win over the Sun father and son, so he continued to speak: "I have a daughter, who is the same age as Bo Fu, and when this war is over, I will give you a marriage, and recruit Bo Fu as a concubine, I don't know what you think about your father and son?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage!" Sun Jian and Sun Ce responded in unison.

Subsequently, Yuan Shu said that he was tired and let the Sun father and son leave.

The father and son opened the palace, and after returning to the post house, Sun Jian couldn't wait to ask his son.

"Bo Fu, are you serious about what you said to Your Majesty just now?"

Sun Ce smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Father, what are you talking about, how can I joke with the lives of our family?" ”

"Okay, it is worthy of being my son Sun Wentai, with my demeanor back then!" Sun Jian patted Sun Ce's shoulder with satisfaction, full of pride.

……

On Cao Ang's side, after Sun Jian and the Jiangdong Army withdrew from Jiangxia, Cao Ren and the three of them also came back with men and horses.

After all, if they had been staying in Jiangxia, others would still think that he Cao Ang had a plot against Jiangxia!

In fact, Cao Ang did have a plot against Jiang Xia, but now he can't take Jiang Xia, after all, he and Liu Biao are still allies.

After Cao Ren and the others returned, Cao Ang gathered all the generals and strategists together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this Sun father and son came to Shouchun City with the Jiangdong Army, so I am afraid that this Shouchun City will not be able to be captured for a while."

Cao Ang looked at the map and said lightly.

When Cao Ren and Cao Hong heard this, they knelt down on one knee and said: "Major General, it is our ineffective work, please punish you!" ”

Cao Ang shook his head helplessly when he heard this: "Two uncles, please get up, I don't mean to blame you, you went to Jiangxia to help Liu Biao defend the city, as for dragging Sun Jian, it was just a matter of convenience." ”

"I know that Sun Jian wants to retreat, and with the men and horses you brought, he can't be stopped." Cao Ang said as he helped Cao Ren and Cao Hong up.

Then, Cao Ang looked at the group of strategists: "Everyone, let's talk about it and see if there is any way to break the enemy." ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he was the first to stand up: "I think that the Jiangdong Army led by Sun Jian has strict military discipline and strict military appearance, and it is definitely not a general army, if you want to storm Shouchun City, I am afraid it will cause great casualties!" ”

"What Feng Xiao said is also what I am worried about." Cao Ang nodded.

Then, Guo Jia continued to speak: "So I think that we should surround the point and send reinforcements, since Shouchun can't take it, then attack the surrounding cities, so that Shouchun will become a lonely city, and then this city will be self-defeating!" (End of chapter)
