Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Sun Jian took Sun Ce and knelt down to accept the reward.

Later, Yuan Shu appointed Sun Ce as a pioneer officer.

"I hope that you, father and son, will work together to protect my Dazhong and repel the Cao thieves!"

"My lord, take the order!" Sun Jian and Sun Ce responded in unison.

After the two stood up, they looked at each other, and then Sun Jian took the initiative to speak.

"Your Majesty, I have a heartfelt request, and I hope your Majesty will accept it."

Yuan Shu frowned slightly when he heard this. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Sun Jian's request.

But he knew that his only support now was Sun Jian, and he must not offend him.

So Yuan Shu nodded: "If you have any requests, Wentai, just ask them. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!"

When Sun Jian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his thoughts: "Your Majesty, my family members are still in Wu County. I heard that Liu Bei has led troops to the city of Wu County. I hope that your Majesty can Assign some people to assist Wu County."

"This..." Yuan Shu frowned slightly. He refused from the bottom of his heart to sending troops to support Wu County because he had no more soldiers to send.

The only soldiers that can be mobilized at the moment are the [-] Shouchun garrison and the [-] Jiangdong Army brought by Sun Jian.

This adds up to only 13 troops.

But Cao Ang brought an army of 30!
With 13 fighting against 30, it would be good to be able to defend Shouchun. Where are the troops to support Wu Commandery?

However, Sun Jian's family was still there after all. If he didn't send someone there, Sun Jian would be heartbroken, and then there would really be no one under his command.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu waved his hand: "Wentai, it's not that I don't agree with you, it's just that Cao Ang has 30 troops and is approaching Shouchun City. The soldiers in the city, plus the soldiers you brought, add up to only It’s only 10,000+. If we divide our troops to help Wu County, I’m afraid Shouchun will be in danger!”

When Sun Jian heard this, he frowned slightly.

Sun Ce on the other side said directly: "Your Majesty, I believe that to defend Shouchun City, only 3 troops and horses are enough, so I ask your Majesty to mobilize [-] troops to assist Wu County!"

When Yuan Shu heard this, he was immediately stunned.

Would you like to hear what you are saying?
Want to rely on 10 people to defend the 30 tiger and wolf troops brought by Cao Ang?

What are you daydreaming about?

Yuan Shu looked troubled, and even Sun Jian on the side scolded in a low voice: "Bo Fu, don't talk nonsense!"

Sun Ce glanced at his father, then knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists at Yuan Shu and said, "Your Majesty, I have read the battle report of General Qiao Rui's defeat ahead."

"Then Cao Jun was able to quickly defeat General Qiao Rui, relying on Cao Jun's heavy cavalry, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! This kind of heavy cavalry can have a very good effect when the two armies are fighting."

"But now, we are defending the city, not two armies facing each other, so Cao Ang's tiger and leopard cavalry have no place to use!"

"As for the other sergeants under Cao Ang, most of them are new soldiers with insufficient combat effectiveness and combat experience. However, the sergeants on your Majesty's side have all experienced hundreds of battles, so I said that to defend Shouchun City, only a hundred thousand troops are needed. "

"Cao's army implemented a strategy of garrisoning in the fields before. I believe that they will definitely withdraw before the autumn harvest, otherwise the food will rot in the fields without anyone to collect it." "In addition, there are Xiliang troops eyeing the northwest, and Cao Ang will definitely not If you dare to risk everything, you will fight us to the death!"

After listening to Sun Ce's analysis, Yuan Shu said hello three times: "Wentai, your son is really a young hero. He is better than his master!"

When Sun Jian saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, thank you."

Yuan Shu was overjoyed and immediately agreed to the Sun family's request: "As soon as the Jiangdong Army arrives, we will immediately divide [-] troops to assist Wu County!"

When Sun Jian and Sun Ce heard this, their hearts dropped.

At this time, Yuan Shu wanted to win over Sun and his son, so he continued to speak: "I have a daughter who is similar in age to Bo Fu. When this war is over, I will grant you a marriage and recruit you, Bo Fu, as my consort. I don't know that you Father and son, what do you think?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage!" Sun Jian and Sun Ce responded in unison.

Afterwards, Yuan Shu expressed that he was tired and asked Sun and his son to leave.

The father and son opened the palace immediately. After returning to the post house, Sun Jian couldn't wait to ask his son.

"Bo Fu, are you serious about what you just said to His Majesty?"

Sun Ce smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Father, what are you talking about? How could I make fun of our family's lives?"

"Well, he is worthy of being my Sun Wentai's son. He has the same demeanor as I did back then!" Sun Jian patted Sun Ce on the shoulder with satisfaction, full of pride.

……

On Cao Ang's side, after Sun Jian and other Jiangdong troops withdrew from Jiangxia, Cao Ren and his three men came back with their troops.

After all, if they had stayed in Jiangxia, others would have thought that Cao Ang had some plot against Jiangxia!
In fact, Cao Ang does have plans for Jiang Xia, but now he can't get Jiang Xia. After all, he and Liu Biao are still allies.

After Cao Ren and others returned, Cao Ang summoned all the generals and counselors together.

"Everyone, the Sun family and his son have brought Jiangdong's army to Shouchun City. If this happens, Shouchun City may not be captured for a while."

Cao Ang looked at the map and said lightly.

When Cao Ren and Cao Hong heard this, they knelt on one knee and said: "Young General, we are responsible for our incompetence in our work. Please punish us!"

Cao Ang shook his head helplessly after hearing this: "Two uncles, please stand up. I don't mean to blame you. You went to Jiangxia to help Liu Biao defend the city. As for holding back Sun Jian, it was just a casual thing."

"I know that if Sun Jian wants to retreat, the men and horses you bring cannot stop him." Cao Ang said while helping Cao Ren and Cao Hong up.

Then, Cao Ang looked at the counselors and said, "Everyone, please tell me and see if you have any strategies to defeat the enemy."

Hearing this, Guo Jia was the first to stand up: "I believe that the Jiangdong Army led by Sun Jian has strict military discipline and a neat appearance. It is definitely not an ordinary army. If it wants to attack Shouchun City, it will probably cause huge casualties. !”

"What Fengxiao said is also what I'm worried about." Cao Ang nodded.

Afterwards, Guo Jia continued to speak: "So I think we should encircle the point and mobilize reinforcements. Since Shouchun cannot be taken, then attack the surrounding cities and turn Shouchun into an isolated city. By then, the city will be destroyed without attack." !" (End of this chapter)
