"Dad, take me with me this time."

A young man with purple silk took the initiative to recommend himself to Sun Jian who had changed into armor.

Sun Quan was already twelve or thirteen years old at this time and wanted to participate in the battle and make achievements.

"This expedition is full of dangers, and Quan'er should not be allowed to accompany you to take risks as your father. You should learn the ability to govern the world, rather than march and fight. When marching and fighting, you are not as good as your brother, but balance the aristocratic family and keep the foundation, your brother is not as good as you. The world may be unified within ten years. At that time, there will be no shortage of military generals who will conquer the world, but there will be no shortage of talents who will govern the world."

Sun Jian rubbed Sun Quan's hair, but still didn't want Sun Quan to go into battle.

Sun Quan pouted, obviously not very satisfied with Sun Jian's evaluation.

He wanted to lead troops to fight in one side like his father and brother, and become a famous general, rather than a minister of the interior.

Sun Quan asked, "Dad, where are you going to attack?"

"March and war, no secrets shall be disclosed, and even family members shall not be informed."

"But the child also wants to pacify the world."

"If the world is in chaos and the world is full of heroes, maybe Quan'er, you still have a chance, but now only those families in the world can get things done."

Sun Jian sighed that even he was dependent on others and could not build a career.

The era of separatist rule in the Eastern Han Dynasty has entered its late stage. The territories of the various princes are solid, and it is very difficult to annex each other, let alone establish their own businesses.

It took Liu Bei ten years to move from the north to the south to have a territory of his own.

"Sweet and fragrant, don't mess around..."

Sun Jian found that at some point, Sun Shangxiang hugged his neck again and lay on his back, his little hands still pulling Sun Jian's hair.

Sun Jian hugged the young Sun Shangxiang. Sun Shangxiang had already had a little strength and stared at Sun Jian with flexible eyes.

"What's going on with this little guy..."

Sun Shangxiang was not very sensible and made trouble everywhere. Sun Jian suspected that Sun Shangxiang had higher force than Sun Quan after he became an adult.

"Father, Zhou Tai, Song Jiang, Hua Rong and other military generals have come."

Sun Ce came to find Sun Jian.

Sun Jian put Sun Shangxiang down and said to Sun Quan: "Take good care of your sister."

Sun Shangxiang was dissatisfied and climbed onto Sun Ce's back again.

“…”

Like Sun Jian, Sun Ce was helpless against the energetic Sun Shangxiang. His powerful hands raised Sun Shangxiang: "In the future, my brother will take you to the battlefield. Now my father and I have an enemy to deal with, do you know?"

Sun Shangxiang nodded as if she had understood it.

Sun Quan was even more depressed. Why did Sun Jian and Sun Ce plan to let Sun Shangxiang go to the battlefield in the future and are unwilling to take him?

Sun Jian left the Marquis' Mansion with Sun Ce who inherited his military talents.

Outside the Hou’s Mansion, Sun Jian’s team gathered.

There are three factions within Sun Jian, including Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and other old ministers from Jiangdong, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and the Liangshan generals recruited by Song Jiang.

Song Jiang’s greatest role in Sun Jian is not to be able to fight well. Sun Jian completely uses Song Jiang as a tool to recruit Liangshan generals.

Song Jiang has the characteristic of "gathering righteousness" and can attract Liangshan generals who are wandering around to take the initiative to surrender.

In the years before "Lord", when the lords perished, their generals were lost as wild generals, either surrendered to the new lord, died in battle, became bandits, or lived in seclusion in the market.

As the leader of Liangshan, Song Jiang's biggest function was to attract Liangshan generals who had become enemies from all over the world to gather under his command again.

Sun Jian asked Tongque to grant Song Jiang the title of Tinghou, and Song Jiang devoted himself to Sun Jian's life.

If he could become a high-ranking official, Song Jiang was not willing to become a bandit, so he wanted to win over Song Jiang and recruit him.

Sun Jian looked at Song Jiang's more and more Liangshan generals gathered around him, and couldn't help but be surprised by Song Jiang's characteristics of "gathering and righteousness". This characteristic of recruiting green forest heroes from all over the country may be the only one hundred and eight heroes whose leaders have the characteristics of Liangshan.

"The King of Wu asked us to attack Hefei City again to see if we had a chance to conquer Huainan."

Sun Jian scanned the generals of Jiangdong and the generals of Liangshan.

This is not the first time Sun Jian attacked Hefei, but the second time.

The last time he attacked Hefei, Liu Tang, Li Kui and other Liangshan generals were killed and Hu Sanniang was captured. So when Song Jiang heard that Sun Jian was going to attack Hefei again, Song Jiang's face turned pale.

Hefei City has been strengthened year by year by year by Chutian's forces and is already indestructible.

Song Jiang confirmed again: "We really want to attack Hefei? I heard that the defender of Hefei was Zhang Liao who defended Hefei last time..."

Sun Jian replied: "If Hefei cannot be taken down, it is difficult to take over the Jianghuai River, but if Jianghuai is not in our hands, it is difficult to defend Jiangdong. As long as we have the opportunity, we will definitely take down Hefei. The teleportation array has been opened, and the ships and troops of Lujiang County have gathered."

As the main general, Sun Jian's decision made Song Jiang unable to refuse.

"Who are these two?"

Sun Jian discovered that there were another Liangshan general, so he took the initiative to surrender to Song Jiang.

"Walker Wu Song, Hua monk Lu Zhishen."

"They look like Kong Wu is powerful, and I hope they can make military achievements in the next battle in Hefei. If they make military achievements, I will present their military achievements and appoint them as chief lieutenants or lieutenants."

There are quite a few Liangshan generals who are actively attracted to Song Jiang, most of whom are flirting with bad luck, and only a few generals can be used.

"Shi Qian is responsible for exploring the reality of Hefei City."

Sun Jian was unceremonious to use the "Drum Flea" Shi Qian. The Liangshan military general Shi Qian was born as a thief and was good at detecting. His characteristics were disguise and infiltration, which were also very rare.

"Thank you to Wu Chenghou's attention."

Shi Qian successfully sneaked into Hefei City last time. This time, he is familiar with the road and is no stranger.

“Let’s go.”

Sun Jian led a number of generals and tried to seize Hefei again.

Hefei is a thorn in the eyes of the Jiangdong forces. As long as there is a chance, the Jiangdong forces will not give up seizing Hefei. Otherwise, once the north is unified, Hefei will be a bridgehead for the northern troops to move south.

In Hefei City, Zhang Liao once again served as the chief general and guarded Hefei.

This time, Chu Tian sent Ma Yuan, Tian Ji, Lu Su and others to assist Zhang Liao in defending Hefei. Zhang Liao's army also added military generals such as Wen Yang, Hu Sanniang, and Yu She.

The last time Zhang Liao defended the city, the defending generals and troops were not large, so this time Chu Tian intends to strengthen the defending army in Hefei.

Moreover, no matter how critical the Northern War was, Chu Tian never mobilized the Huainan army.

The Huainan Army's goal is to deal with the Jiangdong Army.

The King of Wu Tongque in Jiangdong is not an ordinary person. He always covets Jianghuai. As long as Chu Tian dares to move, Tongque will join the Xianyang Alliance at any time.

"The ships and troops of Lujiang County are mobilizing, and the Northern Government Army is attacking Jiangling. Could it be that Sun Jian may raid Hefei at this time?"

Lu Su deployed a lot of things in Lujiang County. He learned about the abnormal movements in Lujiang County at the first time and then inferred the movements of the Jiangdong Army.

The Jiangdong Army has two major factions, one is the Northern Army of Tongque and the other is Sun Jian’s Jiangdong Army. Sometimes the two factions will act separately.

"The Jiangdong Army will not be willing to be Hefei in our hands."

Zhang Liao was called by Lu Su, and Lu Su had already explained the intentions of the Jiangdong Army to him.

Lu Su took over Zhang Liao's words: "They won't waste too much time in Hefei. As long as they block the Jiangdong Army for a period of time, they will retreat when they cannot conquer them."

“That’s exactly that.”

Zhang Liao and Lu Su's ideas coincided with each other.

"It is said that there are many bandits who went to surrender to the Jiangdong Army. I don't know what Song Jiang has, and he can take the initiative to attract bandits to surrender. Among these generals who surrender to Song Jiang, there are a few people with great force, and they may participate in the attack on Hefei."

"You mean, will the King of Wu send Sun Jian and Song Jiang to attack Hefei?"

"The last time they attacked Hefei was them. They were familiar with the roads, so it is very likely that the King of Wu sent them to attack again, and they are our old opponents."

"Um."

Zhang Liao also discussed the deployment with Lu Su, who was a military advisor, including the guards of each city gate.

"I heard that the son-in-law has been full moon, so I don't know what name he took?"

Lu Su worked with Zhang Liao for a while and learned that Zhang Liao's son was born recently, so he took the initiative to ask.

Zhang Liao mentioned the son born by Hu Sanniang and replied: "Zhang Hu."

"Zhang Hu..."

Lu Su just smiled slightly.

Zhang Liao’s name is simple and crude, just like the word “tiger” is done.

"The war may begin in Hefei, and you and Hu'er go to Xiacheng to take refuge."

After Zhang Liao deployed the city defense in Hefei, he found Hu Sanniang and asked her and her son Zhang Hu to take refuge in Xiacheng.

"I'll send Hu'er to Xiacheng and then come back to fight side by side with you."

Hu Sanniang was unwilling to leave alone.

"All right."

Zhang Liao did not force it either.
