It's a pity, no matter how Zhen Quan explains, all the people in the entire Zhen Mansion were brought to the Jiaozhou Mansion without exception.

Until finally figured out why their Zhen family was taken away,

Zhen Quan's heart suddenly felt relieved, because he was almost certain and sure that the robbery of the Jiaozhou Treasury had nothing to do with them....

But the strange thing is that after the investigation is over, the entire Zhen family is still detained in Jiaozhou Mansion.

Yuan Shu did not put them back in Cangwu County, and no one knew what they were for.

But soon news came out of Yuan Shu's mansion,

"The Zhen Mansion of Cangwu County heard that the main public treasury was stolen, and was willing to donate three million taels of silver for the use of the army..... I hope that other wealthy businessmen can sympathize with the plight of the lord and donate more..."

For a time, this incident caused an uproar in Jiaozhou.

Time goes by, and the situation in the entire Han Dynasty is becoming more and more tense, and the major princes are paying attention to what decision the four fierce generals of Crouching Tiger City will make in the end.

After all, there are too many forces heading straight for the lair of Crouching Tiger City, so do you want to defend or continue?

This is the one answer that all the princes wanted.

Judging from the troops sent by the princes of the Three Roads, if the four fierce generals do not return to defense, then Crouching Tiger City will definitely be lost!

Dongwu, Taishou Mansion, Sun Jian anxiously followed the ants on a hot pot, and kept walking back and forth.

"Let the spies go and see again, has the army of Crouching Tiger Pass changed direction?"

Almost every hour he sends out a spy,

It's a pity that the news I got in the end was that the army of Crouching Tiger Pass almost didn't stop at all under the leadership of the four fierce generals, and came all the way to Juli Pass.

"Alas, after a lot of calculations, I didn't expect that I would lose the qualification to compete for the world because of Crouching Tiger City in the end...... They may have been completely prepared to ...... with me."

For a long time, Sun Jian looked up to the sky and sighed.

In his heart, Soochow is really dangerous this time.

At this moment, they have done everything they need to do, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai and others have all gone to Juli Pass, and various letters for help have also been sent.

Everything that follows depends on creation.

Ten days, at most ten days, there will be a final result whether Soochow lives or dies.

"Lord, don't be impatient, according to my speculation, Crouching Tiger City is just a superficial action now, and at the most critical moment, it will definitely return to defense!"

Seeing Sun Jian like this, Zhuge Jin stood up and came out.

His face was calm, as if everything was being calculated.

Because he already knew the true strength of Crouching Tiger City from secret channels.

"Forty thousand troops, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, empty Chenliu County and Kaifeng County, Crouching Tiger City, what are you pretending to be fierce here!"

This is Zhuge Jin's truest thought at the moment.

Therefore, he thinks that the four fierce generals will definitely retire!

"Well, although I think so, the truth is ......" Sun Jian sighed again.

When he heard that Liu Bei came to help, and even Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo sent a large army, not to mention how happy he was.

I didn't fall asleep for a few days because of this, and at the same time, he deliberately replied to Dong Zhuo with a secret letter to express his gratitude.

As a result, Crouching Tiger Pass still looked like a madman, ignoring the actions of the other princes.

"Don't worry, the lord didn't have to worry, yesterday the spies sent back the news, the army of the three forces is less than three hundred miles away from Crouching Tiger City, it is estimated that the army will be pressed tomorrow, I think he can hold out until Crouching Tiger Pass?"

Zhuge Jin waved his hand, signaling that Sun Jian's worries at this time should be superfluous.

"Report!"

Just when Zhuge Jin wanted to say something to Sun Jian, a herald soldier suddenly ran into the main hall in a hurry.

"What's wrong? But the army of Crouching Tiger City has reversed course and returned to defend Crouching Tiger City?"

Seeing this, Sun Jian subconsciously spoke.

That's what he was most expecting to hear.

"Lord Qi, there is news from the front, Liu Bei's general Deng Mao led an army of 50,000 troops to be attacked a hundred miles east of Crouching Tiger City, the main general Deng Mao was beheaded, and the army was defeated and fled!"

The little soldier hurriedly said the news that had just been sent back.

"What?" After hearing the news brought by Xiao Bing, Sun Jian and Zhuge Jin's eyes suddenly widened.

Especially Zhuge Jin, his face suddenly turned pale,

"How is this possible? Who did it? Deng Mao's strength is not weak, and he has an army of 50,000 ......"

Then Zhuge Jin actually rushed in front of Sun Jian to inquire.

Who knew that just as he was halfway through his words, another soldier ran into the main hall.

Cao Cao's generals, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, were attacked a hundred miles south of Crouching Tiger City, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were defeated and killed, and the 50,000 army lost 30,000 due to the fact that only 20,000 remnants fled to the direction of Xuchang!

Silence!

Because at this moment, Sun Jian and Zhuge Jin have been completely shocked by the two news!

The army on which they relied most was attacked, and they suffered heavy losses....

Doesn't that mean that the last hope is about to be dashed!

"Report!"

Unfortunately, the matter was far from over, and at the critical moment, as it had been said, a third soldier ran in.

"Lord Qiqi, a hundred miles north of Crouching Tiger City, Dong Zhuo's generals Wang Yanzhang, Gao Xingzhou, and Hua Xiong led an army of 100,000 to be attacked, of which Hua Xiong and Gao Xingzhou were beheaded, only Wang Yanzhang escaped for his life, and finally fled back to Luoyang with 40,000 remnants..."

Poof!

The little soldier was only halfway through his words, and Sun Jian sat down on the chair as if he was stupid.

The armies of the three major forces were attacked on the same day, and they suffered heavy losses, which ..... this is going to kill Soochow!

Sun Jian was like this, Zhuge Jin was already red-eyed, and he went directly down to catch the herald soldier!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible, as far as I know, the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are the eleventh and twelfth existences on the military general's tablet, how can they be easily killed?"

"There are also Dong Zhuo's newly recruited generals Wang Yanzhang and Gao Xingzhou, who are all first-class generals, stronger than Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, and Huaxiong is also a first-class fierce general, how can he be defeated and flee?"

"This ......." herald creep was almost stunned.

That's what he received, and he didn't know if it was true or not.

However, at this time, Lu Su, the second adviser of Eastern Wu, walked into the main hall with an excited face.

"Great thing, great thing, great thing!" Before the man arrived, his voice had already arrived....

"A great thing? Where is a great good thing? Several princes' armies have been attacked, and the army of Crouching Tiger City has no worries, and the army will definitely be..."Sun Jian and Zhuge Jin, who were in shock, immediately raised their heads in surprise.

"Back to the lord, the army of Crouching Tiger City has turned around and returned to defense!"

Lu Su didn't notice the faces of the two, and said very excitedly.

"Wait, what are you talking about? The army of Crouching Tiger City has withdrawn? How is it possible? It is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

This time, Sun Jian shook his head firmly.

He believed that Lu Su would definitely not know the three pieces of news just now.
