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

Chapter 468: If you want to have a son, you should have one like Sun Bofu. Chinese people don’t deceive Chinese people!

"Shi Xie! Don't be so shameless. If it weren't for the fact that we are from the same origin, I would have killed you long ago!"

Sun Jian slammed the table and stood up. In his opinion, Shi Xie was somewhat too shameless. After all, the current situation between him and Shi Xie was like that of a knife and a fish. Shi Xie was completely at the mercy of Sun Jian.

After hearing what his father said, Sun Ce, who was standing by, finally stopped his state of looking at his nose and thinking about what his father had just said. What did they mean by the same origin? This sentence was difficult for Sun Ce to understand. He had never heard that his family and Shi Xie's family had any intersection.

Before Sun Ce could figure it out, Shi Xie, who was sitting opposite Sun Jian, also slammed the table.

"Sun Jian, I'm telling you the same thing. You don't have to scare me. If you dare to kill me, within half an hour, the four hundred poison girls will turn your camp into a dead camp! How many of you can survive? After you survive, where are you going to get so many people to replenish your troops?!"

Shi Xie also grasped Sun Jian's vital point and said loudly that every bit of strength under Sun Jian's command was extremely precious now, and Sun Jian really did not want to sacrifice the lives of his own subordinates in order to kill Shi Xie.

The power of the Gu woman was unpredictable, and she was poisonous. Sun Jian had seen it before. Even if Sun Ce took action to kill the Gu woman, it would probably cause considerable losses. Therefore, Sun Jian would not act rashly. In addition, Sun Jian also needed Shi Xie's help to gather more soldiers in Jiaozhou to use as cannon fodder.

So even when facing Shi Xie who was slamming the table, Sun Jian's clenched fists finally loosened. He spread his hands helplessly and sat back in his chair.

"Hahaha, Shi Xie, ah Shi Xie, I really think highly of you, including now. Don't you just want a guarantee? I'll give it to you. I swear, when the day comes when I unify the world, I will definitely save your life!"

Unexpectedly, after Sun Jian swore, Shi Xie still shook his head.

"Sun Jian, I told you, I don't trust you. What's the difference between your oath and your promise? They are just empty words."

When these words were spoken, Sun Jian became furious and overturned the desk to the ground.

"In that case, let's not talk about it!"

"Oh! Then I will quietly wait for you to attack the city!"

Shi Xie also stood up and left. The fourth negotiation between the two ended in a bad mood again. The final negotiation ended with Shi Xie's angry departure.

Sun Ce, who had been listening on the side, looked at Shi Xie's departing figure and couldn't help but tighten the Overlord Spear in his hand. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. This murderous aura stretched for nearly a thousand meters, covering a distance of a thousand meters. As long as you were within this range, you could feel this strong murderous aura.

Including Shi Xie, who had not walked far yet, after feeling the murderous aura, his whole body trembled and he was shocked by the powerful force. His steps that were about to leave were paused.

"Father, how about I go and kill him? I will kill any witch who dares to come."

Sun Ce said angrily that they clearly had an absolute advantage, but they still had to endure Shi Xie's bullying, which made him feel indignant.

Unexpectedly, Sun Jian shook his head.

"Shi Xie is right. You have seen how mysterious those Gu women are. Even if you can kill them, our soldiers will not be able to resist the strong Gu poison. We will suffer heavy casualties. It is not worth it. We need to maintain our strength to deal with Liu Bei and Cao Cao."

After hearing this, Sun Ce had no choice but to loosen the Overlord Spear that he was clenching in his hand and sat down. The Overlord Spear still stood in the same place.

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to stay together like this forever?"

Sun Ce, who had just been promoted to a legendary general, was itching to fight with other generals, especially those like Guan Yu who were also legendary generals like him. Sun Ce wanted to test his own strength to see how strong he was, so he was so eager to practice with Shi Wu and Shi Yi under Shi Xie first.

"Don't worry, just wait here. Shi Xie will definitely come to negotiate with us again."

"Really?"

"of course."

Sun Jian smiled mysteriously and poured Sun Ce a cup of hot tea.

"Come, Bofu, try this cup of tea."

Just as he pushed the cup of tea in front of Sun Ce, Sun Jian seemed to suddenly remember something, looked up and said to Sun Ce.

"Bofu, go call Zhongmou over here. Your father has something to tell you."

"Okay, Father, I'll go right away."

Sun Ce got up and left, but the Overlord Spear still stood. Sun Jian turned around and looked at the Overlord Spear that once belonged to Xiang Yu. He bought it from the people of Jiangdong. In the Battle of Gaixia that year, Xiang Yu was defeated by Liu Bang and committed suicide by jumping into the Wujiang River. His weapon, the Overlord Spear, disappeared since then. It was not until four hundred years later that Xiang Yu's Overlord Spear reappeared again.

When Sun Jian gave the Overlord Spear to Sun Ce, it was because of Sun Ce's character as the Little Overlord that he gave him the Overlord Spear. However, in addition to the Overlord Spear, Sun Jian actually also kept another magical weapon of Xiang Yu, the Tianlong Breaking City Halberd.

The Overlord Spear was only the weapon used by Sun Ce before he became famous. Around the time when Xiang Yu proclaimed himself King of Chu, he had already switched to the Tianlong Breaking City Halberd.

While Sun Jian was thinking, the tent curtain was lifted and Sun Ce brought Sun Quan into the tent.

"Father, I brought Bo Fu here."

After the two men entered the house, they stood on both sides opposite Sun Jian. When Sun Jian saw the two brothers, he couldn't help but smile.

"Come, come, Bofu, Zhongmou, sit down."

Sun Jian poured out Sun Ce's tea on the table, and poured hot tea for his two brothers and himself.

"Bofu, as the elder brother, you must take good care of your younger brother. In the future, the two of you will be the masters of Jiangdong. You two brothers must live in harmony and never create rifts between each other."

"Don't worry, father. I will definitely protect my brother."

Sun Ce picked up the hot tea that his father had poured and drank it all. Sun Quan, who was standing beside him, also reached out to take the cup, but was scalded by the cup. He did not have Sun Ce's physique, and was underage, so the temperature was a bit too high for him. However, even though Sun Quan was scalded, he still did not let go, and still imitated Sun Ce and drank it all in one gulp.

"Don't worry, father. I will listen to you. And please don't worry, brother. I will not let you worry too much."

"People always praise me, saying that if I had a son, I would want him to be like Sun Zhongmou. But I want to say that not only should I have a son like Sun Zhongmou, I should also have a son like Sun Bofu. You two brothers are the pride of your father."

Sun Ce and Sun Quan looked at each other, somewhat surprised why their father suddenly said these words today. If it were in the past, let alone saying these words, Sun Jian would rarely even praise them in person. But today, Sun Jian suddenly said such heartfelt words to them, how could they not be excited.

"Now, Liu Bei is the most powerful vassal of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao is the second most powerful. On the contrary, Jiangdong, which has been developing steadily, has become the weakest. If we want to survive in the cracks and finally unify the Han Dynasty, it will only be a case of the fisherman gaining the advantage while the clam fights."

"Father, what you mean is, hide our strength, develop secretly, try to make us disappear from their sight, let Liu Bei and Cao Cao fight, and then we will take action?"

After hearing what Sun Jian said, Sun Quan immediately understood what Sun Jian meant. Sun Jian looked at Sun Quan with appreciation, and he knew that he was right about his youngest son and his thoughts were indeed clear.

"Zhongmou, you are right. We are not as strong as anyone else right now. We can only wait for them to consume each other and then we can make a move at the end. Only then will we have a chance of winning."

"What if Liu Bei attacks us first? We have a great grudge against Liu Bei."

Sun Ce said with some concern that they and Liu Bei had more than just some minor grudges. There had been the dispute over Xuzhou, the battle of Jiujiang, the battle of Nanchang in Yuzhang, the attack and defense of Jiangxia County in Jingzhou. After all these battles, it could be said that they and Liu Bei were incompatible.

That's why Sun Ce had such worries. Sun Jian was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Sun Quan spoke first.

"It doesn't matter. We just need to use a little trick to create a conflict between Liu Bei and Cao Cao and let them start a war first. Then, even if Liu Bei wants to deal with us, he will have to consider the pressure from Cao Cao."

After these words were spoken, Sun Jian's admiration grew even stronger.

The father and his two sons continued their conversation inside the tent. They were talking and laughing with each other and had a very pleasant conversation.

The lights in Sun Jian's tent were on all night long, and it was not until the sky in the east was just beginning to brighten that Sun Ce and Sun Quan went to rest in Sun Jian's tent.

When they woke up, it was already afternoon. Sun Jian was just about to ask someone to bring some food, but before he could say anything, someone suddenly walked in. Sun Jian searched his eyes and finally saw clearly who the person was. Then Sun Jian immediately put on a smiling look and waved to the person.

"Brother Wei Yan, you're here quite early. Come, sit down. What do you want to do? Do you want to have a cup of tea and leave today, or do you want to leave without drinking any tea?"

Sun Jian spoke in a teasing tone. Shi Xie was so angry at Sun Jian that he was fuming, but he could do nothing about Sun Jian. The siege had lasted for seven days, and there was only three days' worth of food left in Longbian County. If no food was delivered to the city within three days, then Longbian County would really not be able to hold on.

Their main source of food was purchasing grain from Yangzhou. After all, Jiaozhou was mountainous and there were not many places suitable for farming, so most of the food needed to be purchased. However, since Sun Ce led his troops to attack Jiaozhou, their source of food was cut off.

Thanks to Longbian County, as the seat of Jiaozhou, there is usually surplus stock, plus the food transferred from nearby cities, so they can eat now. Otherwise, those soldiers would have been too hungry to move, and they would not have been able to hold on until now. By then, Sun Ce would not even need to attack, as the mutiny under their men would be enough to make him suffer.

Moreover, the negotiations had failed four times before. The fourth time, Sun Jian was not as patient as the previous times. If the negotiations failed again this time, Shi Xie felt that Sun Jian might really not continue to negotiate with him. At that time, they in Longbian City might have to sit and wait for death.

Therefore, even if Sun Jian communicated with Shi Xie in this tone at this moment, Shi Xie did not get angry, but continued to speak with a smile.

"Sun Jian, I still have only one request, that is, after you unify the world, I want to be able to continue to live and continue to be the local emperor of Jiaozhou."

"Hahaha, Wei Yan, you are joking, right? I remember I gave you this condition before, but unfortunately, you don't want to believe my oath. What can I do?"

Sun Jian still had a smile on his face. He knew that Shi Xie might have run out of options, otherwise it would be impossible for him to come again today after failing to reach an agreement yesterday. So he was not in a hurry at all.

Seeing this, Shi Xie became even more angry, and he tried his best to suppress his anger. Then Shi Xie took out a painting drawn with a brush. The content of the painting was very simple, or rather, simple, but few people could understand it. And it just so happened that Sun Jian was one of the few people who could understand it.

What was on that painting was none other than the national emblem of their country in the real world. Although it was simple, as a serious Chinese, how could Sun Jian not recognize his own national emblem?

"what do you mean?"

Sun Jian asked with some confusion, not sure what Shi Xie was up to.

However, Shi Xie's next words not only made Sun Jian burst into laughter, but also made the netizens in the live broadcast room sigh. This trick is amazing.

"Sun Jian, I don't need you to make any other promises. You just need to say to our national emblem, Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people! If you lie to me, you are a devil, that's all."

As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Jian felt his eyelids twitching wildly, and then he gave Shi Xie a thumbs up. He sincerely admired Shi Xie for being able to come up with this chapter.

However, Sun Jian could only say that this trick did work. After all, Shi Xie used the most vicious words to make him swear, and he didn't want to be a Japanese devil.

"Okay, I promise you, if I rule the world, I will definitely ensure your safety."

"Say it! Say it to it!"

Shi Xie pointed at the pattern on the table and said, Sun Jian shook his head helplessly and could only speak again.

"If I rule the world, I will guarantee your safety. Chinese people don't cheat Chinese people. If I cheat you, then I will..."

"Just what?"

"It's the Japs!"

Only after Sun Jian said this did Shi Xie smile with satisfaction. This scene shocked the two people who had just woken up in the tent to the point of being overwhelmed.

Because Sun Ce and Sun Jian didn't understand what the two of them were saying at all. They just saw Shi Xie take out a piece of paper with a pattern drawn on it with a brush, and then asked his father to say something to the paper. Moreover, his father seemed to care a lot about the pattern on the paper, as if it was because of the things on the paper that the two of them reached a cooperation so quickly.
