Chapter 498: The pre-war dialogue between the two brothers

This is not alarmist, the main reason is that Sun Ce really has such ability.

After all, he conquered the entire Jiangdong, and all the officials in Jiangdong were promoted by Sun Ce.

Even after Sun Quan came to power, he had tried to reduce Sun Ce's influence as much as possible, but how could it be so easy to completely eliminate it?

Moreover, now, not counting the large army still in Yanyu, the comparison of the forces still in Jiangdong is already dominated by Sun Ce.

With so many troops, Sun Quan estimated that Jianye would surrender without a fight.

Therefore, there are only two options before Sun Quan. One is to surrender directly and hand over his fate to Sun Ce.

The other option is to resist to the end and hope that Yanyu's army can come back for reinforcements, or that other allies can come to save you.

Yes, Sun Quan had already asked Liu Biao and Liu Bei for help before he decided to fight to the death with Sun Ce.

However, he has not received a reply from the other party yet.

Finally, after thinking for a moment, Sun Quan decided to resist, and his confidence was the five thousand Jiefan Army in his hand.

Two hours later, Sun Ce led 30,000 Shanyue people, as well as more than 40,000 former Zhang Cheng's troops who had surrendered to Sun Ce.

There were more than 70,000 people in total, and they surrounded Sun Quan, who only had about 10,000 people.

However, Sun Ce did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he sent ten thousand people to Jianye, led by Zhou Yu.

In Sun Ce's view, as long as Jianye is captured, Sun Quan will have no way out. At that time, he can further force Sun Quan to surrender.

Yes, until this moment, Sun Ce still had no idea of ​​killing Sun Quan.

In his opinion, Sun Quan was just a child, a naughty child at best.

As Sun Quan's eldest brother, he failed to assume the responsibility of educating him, and he was also wrong.

Therefore, Sun Ce still planned to give Sun Quan a chance.

In contrast, whether it was Zhou Yu or other Jiangdong old ministers, they all acquiesced.

In their opinion, Sun Ce should be able to do this because he is a person who values ​​friendship.

Seeing the army outside the camp, which was only surrounding the camp and not attacking, Sun Quan also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Sun Quan calmed down.

Perhaps this is Sun Quan's character. Although he was scared to death at first, when the matter was decided, Sun Quan would go on with it.

Just like the Battle of Chibi in history.

He was scared and confused at first, and even thought about surrendering, but after finally deciding to go to war with Boss Cao, he became the calmest and saw the threat Liu Bei would pose to Jiangdong in the future.

Before Boss Cao was defeated, he began to plan how to get rid of Liu Bei.

It can be said that this is the real Sun Quan and the real Emperor of Soochow.

The next day, when the news came that Jianye had surrendered, Sun Ce also asked his soldiers to beat drums and gather the generals, and led the army out in formation.

At this time, Sun Quan also showed the momentum of the future Emperor of Soochow. Even when his troops were at an absolute disadvantage, he also sent people out of the camp to form an array.

He didn't care about Zhang Zhao's obstruction at all.

At this time, Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao with extremely complicated eyes.

It was Zhang Zhao who initially conspired with Xu You and encouraged him to get rid of Sun Ce.

He knew what Zhang Zhao was thinking, and he just felt that in such troubled times, no one could survive alone.

Either choose the emperor, or choose Yuan Shao and other princes.

Zhang Zhao knew that if he chose the emperor, he would lose the privileges of his family, so he deliberately encouraged Sun Quan to choose Yuan Shao.

But is Zhang Zhao really to blame for this incident? He, Sun Quan, has no responsibility at all?

Sun Quan knew that in his heart, he had always wanted to replace Sun Ce and become the lord of Jiangdong. Zhang Zhao's surrender only gave him an excuse and a chance.

Therefore, Sun Quan does not blame Zhang Zhao, nor does he blame him.

Sun Quan drove his horse to the front of the battle. Opposite him was his brother, Sun Ce.

"Brother." Sun Quan took the lead in saluting Sun Ce.

"Zhongmou, how are you doing these days?" Sun Ce looked confused.

He imagined what Sun Quan would look like when he saw him again.

Whether he yelled at him and accused him of sending someone to assassinate him, he would still speak softly and persuade Sun Quan to turn back.

But he didn't expect that after he met Sun Quan, everything he had thought about before was thrown out of his mind. Now he only cared about his younger brother and how he was doing these days.

"Thank you for your concern, brother. I am doing well." Sun Quan said slowly to Sun Ce.

Just as expected, there was a hint of indifference. At this time, Sun Ce also realized that his younger brother was no longer the real brother who surrounded him and called him elder brother in the past.

"Zhong Mou, please give the order to surrender. There is no need for us to kill each other. As brother... as brother, I can give up the title to you." After a long time, Sun Ce finally said what was in his heart.

After hearing Sun Ce's words, Sun Quan smiled, without any contempt or ridicule, just a simple smile.

It was like, many years ago, when I was surrounded by my brother and my brother gave me a small wooden sword, I laughed from the bottom of my heart.

But after a moment, Sun Quan's smile turned into a bitter smile. He shook his head and said, "Brother, do you think we can still go back?"

"I can go back! Why can't I go back? I, Sun Bofu, said I can go back, so I can go back! Whoever dares to refute, I will kill his whole family!" Sun Ce said loudly.

Hearing Sun Ce's words, he shook his head again.

"Brother, I can't go back. One of the two of us must be responsible for the whole thing. Otherwise, how can we convince the public when the rewards and punishments are unknown?" Sun Quan shook his head.

"Zhong Mou..." Sun Ce wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Sun Quan raising his hand.

"Brother, this is the last time I call you brother. I have something to say to you."

"I have no regrets about sending someone to assassinate my brother. Even if I am given another chance, I will still send someone to assassinate my brother."

"This is not only because I want the title of Marquis of Wucheng, but also for my Sun family."

"My Sun family has shed all its blood for the great man, but after the emperor came to power, he wanted to weaken the family's power."

"My Sun family is originally a wealthy family in Jiangdong. Your Majesty's move is not to give my Sun family a way to survive. Therefore, it seems that we have two options in Jiangdong, but in fact, we can only form an alliance with Yuan Shao."

"To form an alliance with Yuan Shao, not only my Sun family, but also powerful families like Zhang Zhao, including the veterans under your command, brother, also have this idea."

"They shed blood and fought tooth and nail before the battlefield, didn't they just want to exchange for the title of a noble family? But the emperor blocked this road, how can they swallow this breath?"

"Otherwise, brother, you think that I alone can decide the matter of forming an alliance with Yuan Shao and attacking the emperor?"

"They didn't talk to their brother. They just took into consideration that the brother was the master and they were the ministers. They knew that the brother was partial to the emperor, and they didn't know how to deal with it."

"So, when I do something, I don't have any worries, because I know that even if they know what I do, they will still pretend not to know. And they will also cover for me, even if they want to deal with me,

That will also wait until the emperor is defeated."

"But the problem is, after defeating the Emperor, my reputation will be at its peak in Jiangdong. How can they bring me down?"

"Everything was planned well. But I didn't expect that my brother was not dead and was hiding in the territory of the Shanyue people."

After saying this, Sun Quan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
