When Sun Ce was in Shouchun, both Qiao Rui and Zhang Xun admired him wholeheartedly. Now that Sun Ce defeated Liu Yao so quickly and captured Danyang and Wu Commandery, Zhang Xun respected him even more.

Thinking that Sun Ce was about to come to help gave Zhang Xun some more confidence. In his opinion, with Sun Ce's courage, he would definitely not be afraid of Liu Bei.

For this reason, although he often thought of abandoning the city and retreating, he never left.

Liu Bei and Zhou Ping also received news that Sun Ce had abandoned the attack on Kuaiji and sent troops to help.

This is undoubtedly bad news.

"Sir, Sun Bofu is about to raise his troops. Zhang Xun will definitely not abandon the city and retreat. I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave Juchao!"

After defeating Shu City, Liu Bei had full confidence in seizing Lujiang, but that could only be achieved without Sun Ce's help.

Now that Sun Ce has led 30,000 troops and horses to help, the situation is completely different.

During the attack on Shucheng, they suffered between five and six thousand casualties. Li Jia was asked to lead 3,000 people to defend Xiang'an, while Mi Fang led 3,000 people to stay in Shucheng. Liu Bei brought only 30,000 troops to Juchao.

If Sun Ce leads 30,000 people to his nest, it will definitely be difficult for Liu Bei to attack.

But Zhou Ping didn't think so.

"My lord, Sun Ce has led his troops here. It doesn't matter whether the nest is available or not," Zhou Ping said.

"What do you mean by this, sir?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

Zhou Ping replied: "Both Yuan Shu and Zhang Xun are now afraid of the power of their lord. The one they rely on is Sun Ce's courage. Sun Ce has led his troops here. If we defeat him, Yuan Shu will be even more afraid, and Juchao and Wan County will be even more afraid."

Easy to capture."

"Brother, they say that Sun Ce is very brave, but I don't believe it. I just wait until he arrives and let me take his head."

Sun Ce's reputation was also very high in Lujiang. Zhang Fei often heard other people's compliments when talking about him, so he felt very dissatisfied and always wanted to compare with him personally.

Liu Bei rolled his eyes at Zhang Fei and ignored him. As his third brother, whenever he heard who was powerful, he always wanted to compare with him.

"Sir, Sun Ce has always been victorious and undefeated before. I heard that he is also a man who is good at using soldiers. I am afraid that his attack will be very fierce. Do we need to avoid his sharp edge?" Liu Bei turned to Zhou Ping and asked.

"We must not avoid it at this time. If we avoid it, we will show weakness. We can even counterattack and dampen its spirit."

"Counterattack? Who can do it?"

Zhou Ping replied: "We can order Zhang Yide and Chen Shuzhi to lead ten thousand people to attack. We don't want a complete victory, but as long as we are undefeated, we can weaken their spirit. We can let Xu Zhongkang's Hu Shi camp protect the Lord."

Now the most powerful people around Liu Bei are these three people, but Liu Bei must have someone to protect him.

Although Xu Chu was fierce enough, he was not good at commanding troops. Although Chen Dao was not as brave as Xu Chu, he was much better than Xu Chu in terms of commanding troops.

Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "What you said is true. When my uncle and I go to attack him, we will definitely behead Sun Ce and come back. Brother, just rest assured and wait here."

Liu Bei thought for a long time, nodded slightly, shook his head slightly, and finally said: "Although Yide is brave, he is just acting recklessly, and I am afraid that he will miss the big event. If Yide and Shuzhi are to lead the army to attack, then Mr.

, Mr. should be the chief general.”

Zhou Ping recommended Zhang Fei and Chen Dao to lead the attack, but he also knew that Zhang Fei would not be able to do the job.

But Chen Dao's qualifications are relatively low, and it is even more impossible for him to be the leader.

Among all the people around Liu Bei, only Zhou Ping can make Zhang Fei obey his orders now, and he is the best candidate.

It's a pity that both Guan Yu and Tai Shici stayed in Jiujiang. If they were here, it would be much easier to deal with Sun Ce.

But they need to guard Jiujiang, and Jiujiang must not be lost. Once Jiujiang is lost, Liu Bei's retreat will be cut off, which will be a disaster.

Zhou Ping did not refuse and said, "Ping is willing to go with us."
