Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms

But Sun Jian didn't say this.

"Gongjin, now both sides have become like this, you say you don't want to fight, do you mean we don't want our territory?"

"Yes, of course, but not now, Yangzhou has become like this now, every person consumed on the battlefield consumes the future of our Yangzhou, lord, we really can't fight anymore."

After saying that, Zhou Yu knelt directly in front of Sun Jian.

Sun Jian looked at Zhou Yu and fell into deep thought.

At this time, Zhang Zhao walked in.

"Lord, I have gone to all the noble families and only raised 100,000 stones of grain and grass. If all these grain and grass are sent to the front line, we will have nothing, and these grain and grass, added together, are not enough for the front line to eat for half a month."

"How can this be? Are the major families hiding it and not giving it? Tell them that if they don't hand over the grain and grass, don't blame me for taking people to rob them one by one."

"Lord, calm down."

As soon as Sun Jian finished speaking, Zhou Yu immediately said it.

Hearing this, Sun Jian also reacted. Most of his subordinates were from the family, and almost everyone had a family behind them. Once he said this, someone would definitely seize the opportunity. Without the support of the major families, he would not be able to hold on for long.

Even Zhang Zhao's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he recovered quickly.

"Forget it, I was too anxious just now."

Sun Jian was secretly shocked. Fortunately, Zhou Yu stopped him at the most critical moment.

"My lord, although Yangzhou is fertile, we have been fighting all the time. There is not enough manpower to grow food and grass. This time, all the men in Yangzhou were dragged to the battlefield. Who will you let to farm? The people have no food. Although the aristocratic families have stored food, they have been forcibly confiscated by you six times. Now they can only get 100,000. It is not acceptable."

Zhou Yu's words made Sun Jian completely sober.

Compared with Cao Cao, I really can't compare. Cao Cao sent out 100,000 people, which seemed to be a lot, but in fact, Cao Cao's 100,000 people were just a decoration. No matter what happened, these 100,000 people would go, while Cao Cao would rest in the rear.

Since the war began, I have invested countless 100,000 people, while Cao Cao only invested one 100,000.

The most important thing is that Cao Cao has more soldiers and horses than me. With Cao Cao's current strength, he has at least 200,000 soldiers and horses.

After all, when he was forced to Yizhou, Cao Cao was followed by many of his people.

Now with the Yizhou army and Yizhou's territory, Cao Cao's strength is far stronger than his.

Thinking of this, Sun Jian slapped the table and gave a direct order.

"Zhou Yu, when you go back, stop attacking Cangwu County immediately and set up a defense line. I will ask Cao Cao to send more support. When Cao Cao's support arrives, you will leave 10,000 Yangzhou troops on the front line, and let the rest of the people come back."

"Yes, lord!"

After that, Zhou Yu was relieved and turned to leave here.

Zhang Zhao on the side also nodded with satisfaction. Ten thousand people's food and grass support is not a problem for Jiangdong.

At this moment, a soldier walked in.

"My lord, someone outside wants to see you. He said it's Cao Cao's envoy."

"You came really quickly. I was going to send someone to find him. Let the envoy come in."

Soon, Cao Cao's envoy walked in. When he heard that Cao Cao actually wanted to marry him, let Sun Shangxiang and Cao Zhang be together to consolidate the alliance between the two sides.

Sun Jian frowned immediately.

Now that his situation is like this, no matter how you look at it, Cao Cao seems to be treating him as cannon fodder. Now he even wants him to have a daughter. Is Cao Cao treating him as a fool?

"Go back and tell your Caozhou Mu that I don't agree. Our relationship is already very good. There is no need for so-called marriage, and I personally oppose political marriage."

The envoy seemed to know that Sun Jian would say this, and did not leave, but continued to talk.

"Sunzhou Mu, our master said that as long as you agree to the marriage, our master can give you the territory of Jiaozhou as a gift."

When Sun Jian heard about the whole Jiaozhou, he hesitated.

He was indeed against political marriage, but if the other party really gave enough, he seemed to have a try.

"The whole Jiaozhou? You won't give me an empty city, will you?"

"Of course not, our master said that we will give Jiaozhou to you intact and we can also provide half a year of food for the 100,000 troops."

"Okay."

When he heard that food could be provided, and it was for half a year, Sun Jian had no reason to refuse.

"Sunzhou Mu, then I will go back and report."

When the messenger left, Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Jian and hesitated.

"Master, do you really want to form an alliance with Cao Cao? Cao Cao is also our enemy. If you send the lady out like this and then go to war, the lady will be in a very dangerous situation."

"Don't worry, I naturally have my own ideas."

After that, Sun Jian returned to the inner house.

At this time, Sun Shangxiang shot an arrow and hit the bull's eye.

"Good!"

Sun Jian applauded and cheered.

"Father, you are back."

Sun Shangxiang put down the bow and arrow in her hand and came to Sun Jian's side.

"Shuzi, you are already old enough to get married, what do you think?"

"Oh, father, why are you talking about this? I want to stay in Jiangdong forever. I want to conquer the world for our Sun family and become the female general of Jiangdong."

Looking at Sun Shangxiang's appearance, Sun Jian hesitated.

"Shuzi, Cao Cao from Yizhou just sent someone here, saying that he wants to marry us. He wants you to marry Cao Zhang, Cao Cao's son. What do you think?"

Hearing Sun Jian's words, Sun Shangxiang froze in place. She did not expect that she would become the victim of a political marriage.

"Father, did you ask me to marry Cao Zhang for the sake of your alliance with Cao Cao?"

Seeing Sun Shangxiang's appearance, Sun Jian lowered his head in shame.

Seeing that Sun Jian's thoughts were exposed by him, Sun Shangxiang gritted his teeth and shook his head.

"Father, I disagree. If you need a general, I can go into battle and kill the enemy, but if you let me become a victim, I would rather die."

Sun Shangxiang is a fiery person who cannot tolerate grievances. He has always wanted to be a general leading troops on the battlefield.

Now Sun Jian's decision has made Sun Shangxiang a little disheartened.

The tall and mighty father figure before turned into a villain in this moment.

"Don't agree? This is a matter decided by the two families. Qirong, do you agree if you don't agree? From today on, until Cao Zhang comes to marry you, you will stay at home and you are not allowed to go."

After Sun Jian finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, not even listening to Sun Shangxiang's shouts behind him.

"Since you won't let me, then I have to leave. I want to see who you can marry without me, Sun Shangxiang."

Late at night, Sun Shangxiang packed up his things and quietly came to the door.

He opened the door a crack and when he was about to go out, a man stood at the door.

"Miss, the master has said that you will not be allowed to go out."

Zhou Tai stood at the door, stopping Sun Shangxiang.

"Get out of my way. If you don't, I will tell my father that you touched me. Anyway, my father asked me to marry Cao Zhang. Why don't I just find someone from Jiangdong to marry? Who can I marry?" It's all the same. If I meet you, I'll choose you. I've let you touch me, but my father can't let me marry Cao Zhang, right? Even if my father asks me, I won't marry him."

When Zhou Tai heard this, his face turned pale with fright.

Who doesn’t know that this Sun Shangxiang is the little witch from Jiangdong? Who has not been harmed by this little witch?

If Sun Jian knew that he had touched Sun Shangxiang, would he still be alive? If Sun Jian really gave Sun Shangxiang to him, wouldn't this little witch want to tear down his home?

Thinking of this, Zhou Tai quickly closed his eyes and looked around.

"It's so quiet tonight, there's no one around."

Seeing Zhou Tai's appearance, Sun Shangxiang snorted, turned around and ran out.

Looking at Sun Shangxiang's back, Zhou Tai sighed and hurried to Sun Jian's room.

"My lord, the lady has run away."

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Sun Jian nodded and looked at the book in his hand without any care.

Seeing Sun Jian's calm look, Zhou Tai thought Sun Jian didn't hear clearly and hurriedly took a few steps in.

"Lord, miss..."

"I see."

Sun Jian put down the book in his hand and looked at Zhou Tai in front of him.

"Do you think anyone can leave this home without my permission?"

"But the young lady is going to marry Cao Zhang after all. If the young lady is no longer involved, this..."

When Sun Jian heard this, he laughed directly.

"What I value is the gift brought by Cao Cao, not Cao Zhang. What can Shuzi do here?"

"This... my lord, is a lady after all..."

"Okay, do you have anything else? If nothing happens, just go out. I want to be quiet."

"yes!"

Zhou Tai walked out of the room, closed the door, and stood outside the room for a long time.

Who is Jingjing? Is there anyone else in the master's room?

Sun Shangxiang left home and looked around, finding that he had nowhere to go.

The reason why I used to show off my power in Yangzhou was because I was Sun Jian's daughter. Now that I don't have Sun Jian to support me, what can I do?

Beyond Yangzhou is Jiaozhou. That half is Cao Cao's territory. Cao Cao will definitely hand him over to Sun Jian when he sees him. The other half is where Zhou Yu is. When Zhou Yu sees him, he will definitely end up with the same fate. The only way The only one who went was Cangwu County where Liu Bei was located.

Just when Sun Shangxiang decided where to go.

"Miss, miss..."

Sun Shangxiang turned around and found that it was his personal maid, Xiaodie.

"Xiaodie, why are you here?"

"Miss, I'm not worried about you being outside by yourself, so I'd better let Xiaodie follow you. If anything happens, I can protect you."

When Sun Shangxiang heard this, he rolled his eyes at her, but did not refuse.

In this strange environment, another companion can accompany him, which also gives Sun Shangxiang a sense of security.

"Okay, let's go to Cangwu County."

"Cangwu County? Miss, that is Liu Bei's territory. Are we going to Liu Bei's territory? What if we are caught and threaten the lord with our lives? What will the lord do?"

"Don't worry, no one knows who we are. As long as we don't tell, what can we do even if we are in Cangwu County?"

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was so confident, Xiaodie couldn't say anything and could only just follow.

However, what Sun Shangxiang didn't know was that his information was already placed in front of Gu Rubing's desk.

"Marriage? Sun Jian wants to marry Cao Cao?"

Gu Rubing looked at the roving crossbow captain in front of him, and he was obviously a little bit unbelievable.

After all, they all came from outside. In the outside world, they all advocated free love, and they were more or less resistant to marriages arranged by the family. How could Sun Jian agree to the marriage?

"Yes, my lord, our intelligence is absolutely correct. The two of them want to marry."

"What conditions did Cao Cao give?"

"The territory of Jiaozhou is enough for the army of 100,000 to eat for half a year."

Hearing this, Gu Rubing laughed directly.

"Sun Jian, Sun Jian, for this little thing, you can even sell your daughter. You are really a scumbag!"

Looking at Gu Rubing's mumbling, the roving crossbow captain whispered again: "In addition, my lord, we have a report from our spies that Sun Shangxiang seems to have run away from home. Sun Jian didn't care when he learned that Sun Shangxiang had left."

After hearing this, Gu Rubing reacted instantly.

"Sun Jian, I was right about you."

Gu Rubing said, and waved to the captain of the parade.

After the captain left, Gu Rubing looked at the portrait of Sun Shangxiang in his hand, and was thinking about what to do.

"My lord, it is obvious that Sun Shangxiang was let go by Sun Jian. It seems that Sun Jian just wants the territory and food promised by Cao Cao, and does not intend to send Sun Shangxiang away. According to the situation of Sun Shangxiang's departure, she must not go to the territory of Cao Cao and Sun Jian. The only place she can come is here."

Gu Rubing nodded when he heard it.

He also thought of this.

"Prime Minister, should we capture the person and then threaten Sun Jian to let Sun Jian hand over Jiaozhou?"

"My lord, with our strength, there is no need to do this. In addition, using a woman to threaten others, this will always be a bad reputation for the lord. Liang has a better way."

After speaking, Zhuge Liang whispered something beside Gu Rubing.

Gu Rubing laughed immediately after hearing this.

It took Sun Shangxiang two days to finally arrive in Cangwu County.

The long journey made the two of them dirty and bloody.

In order not to be discovered, the two did not dare to take the main road, and they walked through the wilderness, where many fugitives hid.

If they saw a lot of people, these fugitives would find a place to hide.

But seeing that it was a beautiful woman like Sun Shangxiang, who was only accompanied by a maid, these fugitives naturally couldn't help but jump out.

However, Sun Shangxiang's strength was also among the ranks of first-class generals, and it was too easy to deal with these fugitives.

So along the way, Sun Shangxiang also killed a lot of people. (End of this chapter)
