"Sun has a burden and has lost in Hulao Pass." Sun Jian fled back in a panic that afternoon. The situation was not good, and he seemed a little decadent. Fortunately, he didn't need to apologize, after all, he was not a subordinate of anyone present.

"Wentai, you are just a striker, not the main force, why do you want to make a blind breakthrough?" Yuan Shao had to ask.

"At that time, Dong Zhuo's troops were about to be defeated and had to flee into the Huzhuo in a panic..." Sun Jian could only tell the truth about his situation.

The early night attack was a surprise, and it was amazing to defeat him later under the siege of three parties. If anyone had this situation, I guess many people would plan to enter the Hulao Pass and make a try.

Sun Jian is a tiger in Jiangdong, brave and good at fighting. When encountering this situation, he always has to fight. However, there are actually ambushes in the pass, and he uses the terrain of the level to fight back, which makes him suffer a great loss.

"Oh!" Alongside Yuan Shao, the strategist Xu You suddenly reacted, "This is a double ambush!"

"Oh? What's the situation? Please come one by one." Yuan Shao asked curiously when he heard this.

"The Hu Zhen's army was afraid that he had no intention of fighting with General Sun at the beginning. He just fought and then retreated, lured our army into depth, and then suddenly sent an ambush to encircle the three sides!

If it works, our army will naturally be defeated. But if it is defeated like this, we will pretend to retreat into Guanzhong, lure us into, cooperate with the ambush within the Guan to carry out the second round of ambush!" Xu You explained.

"However, the second round of ambush should have been a temporary intention. After all, instead of taking the risk of putting General Sun in, it is better to rely on the steepness of Hulao Pass to resist, which is safer." Cao Cao added.

He had just considered the double ambush plan, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was wrong. The ambush later should have been a temporary result. However, this also shows that the other general was quite savvy, which was more difficult to deal with.

"Wentai, what are you going to do afterwards?" Liu Tao, who was silent next to him, said coldly. Sun Jian's actions and roughly the outcome were almost all analyzed by the military advisors, but this sentence was what he wanted to ask himself.

Sun Jian's troops, who only have less than a few hundred people, may something happen if they are fine now when they go back.

"I originally planned to send people back and mobilize another 2,000 people to support..." Sun Jian smiled at Liu Tao, "I thought about it carefully, but there was no need to. Sun had done his best in this alliance. If he couldn't beat it, he was not as skilled as others. Then there was no need to force himself, and he planned to resign here!"

Sun Jian actually planned to leave? This answer was indeed beyond many people's expectations. Many people thought that Sun Jian was also interested in the unspoken rule of "The King of Luoyang first". Depending on the situation, it seemed that it was not right.

Could it be that Sun Jian really just planned to fight against Dong Zhuo with all his loyalty to the Han Dynasty? Obviously, this is unreasonable!

The problem is that the other person has been crippled and he will not leave, so he seems a little ulterior motive. Yuan Shao simply tried to keep him and approved the other party's idea. Only Yuan Shu's eyes showed some changes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It seems that Sun Jian really plans to separatist Jiangnan and become emperor... Liu Tao looked at Sun Jian silently. The analysis of the military advisors at that time showed that there would be two possibilities for Sun Jian to come back.

One is to continue to be in the army and transfer soldiers to continue to fight. This means that Sun Jian still aims to the Central Plains, which is the core area of ​​Chinese civilization. Basically, many people believe that occupying this place is considered orthodox.

One is to abandon the orthodox Central Plains, attack the Jiangnan area with all its might, and then rule the river.

This possibility was first proposed by Liu Tao. At that time, his statement was that Sun Jian was from Fuchun, Jiangdong, would he go east from the four counties in Nanshan to the south and conquer the capital of Jiangnan and rule the river.

Jiangnan is not considered orthodox, its population is not as good as the Central Plains, and there is also Shanyue in rebellion. The military advisors did not think about this possibility at first. At most, they thought that Sun Jian would conquer Jingzhou and then attack Yangzhou and Yuzhou.

Liu Tao said so, and immediately thought about this possibility. Judging from the information he obtained, Sun Jian had indeed captured the four southern counties and occupied half of Jingzhou. If he did not go north, going east might be a good result.

Draw the river and govern, wait for the changes in the world, and then rush the army north... It is possible to think about it carefully!

The military advisors finally felt that it was possible that if the other party chose to leave, they might really be indirect evidence of separating the south of the Yangtze River and slashing the river. Now Sun Jian really chose to say goodbye and leave, and it was very decisive depending on the situation, which made Liu Tao more sure of this possibility.

"Wentai... I really want to revive the great man with you. How about Bingzhou?" Liu Tao suddenly said.

"Your Majesty is gone..." Sun Jian was silent for a while, and finally replied, "The prince is gone, either..."

"Your Majesty is not the parent-child of Emperor Huan." Liu Tao sighed.

"……………” Sun Jian was a little depressed. He had already hinted, why are you still so persistent? Can't you hear that I want to be the emperor? Why should I give up, a person who is the emperor, go to you?!

Having said that, Liu Tao's words did make some emotions throbbing deep in his heart. Fortunately, he is no longer young, not the age where he can make generous promises by being sensationalized.

"I'm not young anymore, I don't have that passion." Sun Jian was not hysterical, and he said his true purpose, so he could only explain it in a little tactful way.

I am indeed not young anymore. I am thirty-five years old and have many children in my family. It is time to build a foundation for them. The world is in chaos, how many years will it take for you, Liu Tao, to calm down? Isn’t it better if I make a fortune by myself?

"Since that's the case, I can't force it." Liu Tao nodded. It was only three things. Including the invitation that had just arrived, it was the third time and it was not suitable to continue persuasion.

Then he came to Sun Jian's ear and whispered: "When you go back, you take a walk. Yuan Shu couldn't say he would do it yourself. Even if he didn't do it, he might let Liu Biao do it."

"Okay...thank you!" Sun Jian's expression changed slightly when he heard this. Realizing that this was very likely, he thanked Liu Tao.

He had already rejected him, but he didn't expect that the other party could still think about him. Sun Jian was actually a little moved.

"Or, let's discuss it." Liu Tao thought for a while, and then suggested openly, "The Wentai has five sons and three daughters, not to mention the eldest son and second son. The third son Sun Yi will be trained by me. When I grow up, I will join the army as a general. I will never compete with the Wentai in my life. How about it?!"

Sun Jian looked a little weird and wanted to say, "You kid won't be able to hit my daughter, right?" Who knew that he was going to hit his son. But if the other party wanted the eldest and second sons, he really wouldn't agree.

Sun Ce is brave and good at fighting, and has a good style of demeanor; his second son, Sun Quan, is also brave and resourceful. Although the two are still young, they have shown outstanding talents, which is why he plans to take a try and broadcast a foundation for them.
