Seeing that Sun Ce didn't take his words to heart, Sun Jian couldn't help feeling helpless.

Sun Jian returned to the main seat and sat down and asked: "How is the logistics and supplies prepared?"

Zhang Zhao replied: "The logistics supplies are ready and can all enter Jiangxia Dakuang within two days!"

Sun Jian nodded and immediately reminded the generals: "All generals should carefully check all matters in the army, and be sure to be foolproof!" "Yes!" The generals agreed in unison.

After distributing the tent, Sun Jian came to the backyard and suddenly saw a graceful figure appearing in front of him. She was no one else, but Sun Jian's precious daughter Sun Ren. Sun Ren was not wearing military uniforms as usual at the moment, but wearing a white long skirt, standing in the gentle wind, showing a kind of soft posture that he did not usually have. A trace of sadness appeared in his beautiful eyes, and his temperament was completely different from the past.

Sun Jian couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked lovingly: "Xiang'er, aren't you here to accompany your mother in Changsha?"

Sun Ren pursed his red lips, lowered his head, and asked softly: "Father, do you want to use troops against him?"

Sun Jian understood who Sun Ren said that ‘he’ was referring to. He hesitated for a moment and nodded, "The 200,000 army is about to be ready. I plan to rush the army north in three days!"

Sun Ren lowered his head and remained silent.

Sun Jian couldn't help but feel anxious and asked, "Xiang'er, don't you want to say anything to your father?"

Sun Ren shook his head, turned around and looked at the distant sky and murmured: "I know that father, you and him are both heroes of the world. I know that you all believe that the hero who unifies the world must be yourself! Although I don't want to see you on the battlefield and fight each other, I know that this day will come sooner or later!" After a pause, he continued: "Father, my daughter has no other purpose for this time, she just wants to make sure of this matter! You don't have to worry about her daughter!"

Hearing these words, Sun Jian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't know what to say.

Sun Ren turned around, looked at Sun Jian, and said with an extremely firm expression: "Father, I will not advise you to give up your goal! But I will not do anything that I am sorry for him!"

Sun Jian was stunned and frowned and asked, "Is anyone who said something in front of you?"

Sun Ren smiled bitterly and said leisurely: "Father, you don't have to blame them, they are also considering their father's great cause!" Yu Luo turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Seeing this, Sun Jian couldn't help but ask: "Xiang'er, where are you going?"

Sun Ren showed a desolate and beautiful smile and said calmly: "Where can I go? I just want to go back to Changsha to accompany my mother!" Yu Luo walked out of the backyard.

Sun Jian looked at Sun Ren's graceful back and wanted to say something, but he had nothing to say.

Three days later, 200,000 Sun Jian's army gathered in Jiangxia and was about to set sail north. However, at this moment, an emergency military report came from the Nanjun side, and Jingzhou side had assembled all its military strength, 250,000 troops had arrived in Dangyang County, dozens of miles north of Nanjun, and would arrive outside the Nanjun city soon.

Sun Jian was shocked, and Sun Jian had to temporarily terminate the plan to advance north and convene all the generals to discuss matters.

"Zibu, have you bribed Cai Mao and the Cai family before? Why did the Jingzhou army suddenly arrive again?" Sun Jian asked unhappily.

Zhang Zhao frowned and replied, "Lord, I'm afraid Cai Mao and Cai will no longer be trusted by Liu Biao! In addition, Chen Chu must have sent someone to Jingzhou to promise Liu Biao various benefits!"

Sun Jian nodded and murmured: "Now our army has 100,000 troops in Wujun, and we are simply unable to fight on the two fronts of Jingzhou and Yuzhou at the same time! Moreover, fighting on both fronts is a taboo for military strategists!"

"Father, please let me lead an elite force to defeat the Jingzhou army!" Sun Ce asked with his fists.

Sun Jian frowned and said, "This time, Liu Biao has done his best. The leading generals are Wei Yan and Wen Pin. These two are brave and good at fighting, and are not comparable to Cai Mao and others!"

Sun Jian glanced at the generals in the hall and said decisively: "Send the order and the army will turn west! This time, I will completely solve the Jingzhou problem!"

"Yes!" The generals agreed in unison.

On that day, 200,000 troops set out from Xiakou and went up the Shuojiang River.

The news reached Sun Ren's ear the next day. Sun Ren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then he became worried again. She only felt that her heart seemed to be torn in half.

The 200,000 water and land army led by Sun Jian personally arrived in Nanjun three days later. Then the navy of both sides fought a battle in the Yangtze River, with each other winning and losing. Immediately afterwards, Sun Jian ordered Sun Ce to lead 50,000 elite troops to fight back head-on, and at the same time ordered Huang Gai and Cheng Pu to lead 10,000 light troops to circumn the flanks of Jingzhou Army. The two sides fought on a hill near the entrance of Hulugu. Hundreds of thousands of troops fought and killed the sound of killing. The battle continued until evening. The Jingzhou army was at a disadvantage and first evacuated the battlefield. Sun Ce led 10,000 light cavalry to chase after him, but failed to expand the results. Then, Sun Jian's army temporarily retreated to Nanjun, and the battle between the two sides came to an end.

Sun Jian led the generals back to the tent with great enthusiasm. Sun Jian took off his battle robe and laughed: "Wei Yan must be in today's battle. Wenpin knows the interests of our army!" The generals burst into laughter.

Cheng Pu frowned and said, "However, Wei Yan, Wenpin is really not easy! He was able to withdraw the main force back to Dangyang under such an unfavorable situation!"

Sun Jian nodded and said, "Wei Yan, it is really not easy for General Wenpeng to recruit the second general! I must find a way to capture two of them alive!"

At this time, a scout rushed to the tent and knelt down and reported: "Lord, I just received a detailed military report from Yangzhou. Zhengyang Pass has been lost, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou's army was defeated by Zhang Liao in Sishui County. Now he is leading the remaining troops to retreat to Yangzhou!"

"What!" Sun Jian stood up suddenly. All the generals frowned.

Sun Jian rushed to the map frame, looked at the location of Yangzhou and frowned: "As soon as Yangzhou is lost, our army's Wancheng, Jiangdu will face the army's troops of the Northern Army!" Then he said ruthlessly: "It's a pity that I am now entangled by Liu Biaojun and cannot escape!"

"Lord, the most urgent task should be sent to Jingzhou to discuss peace with Liu Biao!" Zhang Zhao said anxiously.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple! We are like Liu Biao's hatred. With Liu Biao's personality, he will definitely not agree to discuss peace with us!" Sun Ce said.

Sun Jian couldn't help but nodded, paced back and forth, with a look of thought on his face. Suddenly he stopped and said decisively: "No matter what, we should try it! Mr. Zibu!"

"Lord!" Zhang Zhao said with his fists.

"You immediately select a good and eloquent person to go to Jingzhou!"

Zhang Zhao thought for a while and asked, "Lord, let me continue to do this!"

Sun Jian was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said with concern: "I am only worried that Liu Biao's old man would be unfavorable to the gentleman!"

Zhang Zhao smiled indifferently and clasped his fists and said, "Lord, don't worry! Although Liu Biao is stingy, he is far from being brave. I am sure he will never dare to do anything that is not good for me!" After a pause, he said meaningfully: "Maybe I can bring unexpected surprises to the Lord!"

"Oh what is it?" Sun Jian couldn't help but be curious.

Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "The lord will know at that time!"

Sun Jian smiled and scolded: "You guys like to be mysterious!" Zhang Zhao smiled indifferently.

Sun Jian returned to the main seat, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Then Mr. Zibu has worked hard!"

Zhang Zhao clasped his fists and said, "I am determined to live up to the mission of the lord!" He stood up and asked, "Lord, there is something else to do in the lord!"

"Mr. Zibu, but it's okay!"

"I want to ask the lord to temporarily stop the battle!"

Sun Jian understood Zhang Zhao's consideration and nodded, "Yes, our army will not attack Dangyang until we receive conclusive news from Mr. Zibu!"

"Lord is wise!" Zhang Zhao said sincerely.

Sun Jian walked up to Zhang Zhao, patted Zhang Zhao's palm, and reminded him: "Mr. Zibu should be more careful when he goes here!"

Zhang Zhao clasped his fists in emotion and said, "Thank you lord! lord, if there is nothing else, I'll go down and prepare!" Sun Jian nodded. Zhang Zhao bowed to Sun Jian and left the tent.

Sun Jian couldn't help but come to the map again. Looking at the black that had almost occupied half of the world, he couldn't help feeling a heavy sense of oppression, and at the same time he couldn't help feeling a little helpless. Suddenly, a look of excitement appeared in Sun Jian's eyes, with a fierce fighting spirit.
