What's more, when Sun Ce captured Jiangdong, even Liu Yao was not his opponent. The former master Yuan Shu was driven to the corner of Huainan by him and dreaming of being drunk. Such achievements made Sun Ce feel more proud and more concerned about his face.

After more than a month of continuous attack, almost twice the strength of the defenders in the city, it could not be captured, which made Sun Ce lose face. If he retreated like this, it would make Sun Ce even more embarrassed. In the future, it would even become a joke in others' words.

Zhou Yu was worried that Sun Ce would not be able to accept such a fact, so he became angry and insisted on staying.

Zhou Yu has already analyzed the situation. It is not worth the effort to continue to stay and attack Shouchun, and he may even fall into a passive danger. It is not too late to retreat now.

"Bofu, a real man can bend and stretch. The retreat now is just to prepare for a comeback in the future."

When Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce not speaking for a long time, he knew that Sun Ce was struggling in his heart.

"Cao Ren is now at the end of his life. If he attacks twice more, he will definitely be able to capture it." Sun Ce suddenly said this.

When Zhou Yu heard this, he thought it was not good, so Sun Ce chose to preserve his face.

"Bo Fu, aren't you afraid of the deterioration of the situation in Jiangdong?"

Zhou Yu was a little angry and asked Sun Ce with a slight harsh attitude: "Jiangdong is your place to stand. If you lose Jiangdong, there will be no Sun Bofu."

"snort."

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce stood up, his eyes flashed with a gleam, and he snorted coldly: "Those little kids in Jiangdong will cause trouble while my Sun Bofu is not around. I will definitely make them regret it at that time. Don't worry, Gongjin, those little kids can't cause any storm."

Sun Ce's tone was filled with endless confidence and domineeringness. He pacified Jiangdong and made Sun Ce beat those who looked down on Jiangdong from the bottom of his heart. He didn't take it seriously, whether it was the local clan or the rebels on the mountain.

In his opinion, if his army arrives, these little guys will be pacified and destroyed.

And he felt that his face was important. If he retreated in shame, how would he face his subordinates in the future and how would he lead Jiangdong?

Therefore, Sun Ce felt that he could not retreat. Even if he wanted to retreat, he had to conquer Shouchun City first and take Cao Ren's head.

"When do you think you can capture Shouchun City?" Zhou Yu asked in anger. Zhou Yu was a little angry at this time.

"one day."

Sun Ce raised a finger and said confidently: "I will be able to take down Shouchun City when I give me one day."

"What if I can't conquer it for a day?" Zhou Yu asked again.

Sun Ce's face was not good-looking, and he firmly believed: "A day is enough, I will definitely catch it."

Sun Ce did not directly answer Zhou Yu's question, and he once again emphasized that he could conquer Shouchun City in one more day.

Seeing that Sun Ce had made up his mind, Zhou Yu could only sigh. He could not speak out to Sun Ce, and could only accept Sun Ce's stubborn idea.

"I can't conquer Shouchun City tomorrow, and I must retreat the day after tomorrow." Zhou Yu could only tell Sun Ce in this way.

Sun Ce nodded and agreed with Zhou Yu's statement.

Since he made the decision, Zhou Yu began to help Sun Ce study what methods should be used to conquer Shouchun City.

However, because Zhou Yu had been here for too short, facing Cao Ren's defense, he had no good idea for the time being, and he had not come up with a feasible solution for the whole night.

When dawn came, Zhou Yu closed his eyes a little and took a rest.

However, before Zhou Yu could sleep for a long time, his personal guard ran to find him.

"General, it's not good..."

What Zhou Yu is most afraid of now is the word "bad" and he is sleeping in a daze. When he hears the word "bad" and he wakes up immediately.

"What's up?"

Zhou Yu didn't even wear shoes, so he jumped up from the bed and asked urgently.

"Cao Cao, Cao Cao..."

The personal guard told Zhou Yu about the incident. After Zhou Yu heard this, he rushed to Sun Ce's place as soon as possible.

When he arrived at the big tent, Sun Ce saw Zhou Yu coming so late. If it were normal, Sun Ce would definitely laugh at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu, who pays attention to appearance and etiquette, would have such a side and would be late at the same time.

However, when facing the sudden news, Sun Ce was optimistic, he didn't have the intention to joke.

Sun Ce got up early this morning and planned to eat and drink with his soldiers, and then strive to capture Shouchun City in one fell swoop. Who knew that the spy sent back two messages, which made Sun lose his appetite in an instant.

Article 1: Cao Cao's surprise attack on Xuzhou, Gongsun Zan was caught off guard, suffered heavy losses, and lost a large area of ​​land. Pengcheng County, Donghai County and other places were occupied, and even Xiapi County was occupied most of them. Gongsun Zan had to retreat to Guangling County.

If the first one is nothing, then the second one makes Sun Ce feel heavy because he is really hit by Zhou Yu.

Liu Biao sent troops and sent his general, Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu, to send troops from Jiangxia and approaching Lujiang.

“Retreat.”
