Didn't even see the opponent open their Gang Qi.

Before Sun Jian could speak, Cheng Pu on the side shook his head: "Yigong, you are wrong! The opponent really held back on purpose, otherwise, we would probably be dead this time."

"Right!"

Sun Jian nodded affirmatively: "I wasn't joking before. If Huang Zhong and Dian Wei really wanted to kill us this time, let alone such an ambush, we wouldn't even be able to last a round in a head-on fight."

"It seems that Su Xuan has other plans and is not prepared to truly start a war with Yuan Shu!"

"This coincides with Yuan Shu's idea!"

"Obviously, they both want to 'promote peace through war', and afterward, the crusade against Dong Zhuo is the key."

The more this was the case, the more Sun Jian felt Su Xuan's power.

This person is not only powerful in military formation, but his scheming is also not bad!

It's just that he himself knew that he was actually short in terms of scheming.

This has to do with his background, education, and personality.

But if he wants to make up for this shortcoming, he can only find a way to recruit a powerful strategist.

Relying on himself, he has no confidence at all.

He was not born to eat this bowl of rice.

God gave him enough bravery and the ability to lead troops to fight, obviously ignoring his brain.

Cheng Pu frowned upon hearing this: "This person is really powerful! He can endure this!"

"It seems he has a bigger plot!"

"Bad!"

Suddenly, Cheng Pu thought of something, turned to look at Sun Jian: "Lord! We started a war against Su Xuan as a vanguard army this time, clearly wanting to oppose him;"

"He is now the Governor of Jingzhou, wouldn't our Changsha and even Jiangxia be lost?"

Sun Jian also reacted suddenly at this time, his face changed drastically: "Bad!"

He really forgot about this!

If Su Xuan were still just the Administrator of Nanjun, he might not have dared to move his Changsha.

But now Su Xuan is already the Governor of Jingzhou, and Changsha itself belongs to Jingzhou.

If he hadn't fought against Su Xuan, then with their superficial friendly relationship, Sun Jian believed that Su Xuan would really find it hard to annex his Changsha.

But now, he has effectively handed the handle to the opponent, and Changsha has absolutely no possibility of survival.

Sun Jian couldn't help but worry about his family left in Changsha.

"No way? Su Xuan dares to move troops against Changsha? He is still fighting us here, does he have the strength?"

Zu Mao couldn't help but speak.

"Absolutely!"

Sun Jian said with an iron-blue face: "The ones here in Xinye are only the 6,000 Xuanwu Battalion and 6,000 Xuan Armor Army under Su Xuan;"

"In total, there are only 12,000. He also has the Brave Cavalry Battalion, Nanjun commandery soldiers, and the Jiangling Water Navy;"

"These add up to at least more than ten thousand people."

"Moreover, in the past few months, I don't believe Su Xuan hasn't expanded his troops;"

"His real military strength is probably far beyond this number;"

"This time, I really miscalculated! I shouldn't have gotten involved, alas!"

Cheng Pu and the others looked at each other, their faces very ugly.

At this time, Sun Ce, who had been holding back and not speaking, couldn't help but worry: "Father! Will Mother and Second Brother be okay?"

Before Sun Jian could speak, Han Dang and the others had already changed color.

Because their families were all in Changsha!

"No!"

Sun Jian shook his head firmly: "Su Xuan is not that kind of person. Even if he takes Changsha, he won't make things difficult for our families!"

"After all, didn't Huang Zhong and the others hold back against us before?"

"Obviously, they don't want to become mortal enemies with us;"

"Moving our families doesn't fit this point."

Han Dang and the others' expressions eased by more than half.

Indeed.

Sun Jian then comforted: "Of course, after Su Xuan and Yuan Shu negotiate peace, I will also participate and ask Su Xuan to return our families to us;"

"As a price, Changsha will be given to him directly! I won't fight for it."

Anyway, he didn't think he could take back Changsha, so just treat it as waste utilization!

This time he was set up miserably by Yuan Shu, Sun Jian secretly made up his mind that he must find a way to get it back from Yuan Shu later.

He doesn't do loss-making business.

"Lord!"

Han Dang and the others showed a touch of emotion.

The Lord still cares about them!

Even the foundation land can be given up, just to exchange for their families.

Of course, the Lord's own family is also in the ranks of exchange.

But Han Dang and the others automatically ignored it.

Because they felt that with Sun Jian's past friendship with Su Xuan, no matter what, Su Xuan wouldn't move Sun Jian's family.

On the contrary, they are different.

"No need!"

Sun Jian saw them like this, squeezed out an ugly smile and waved his hand: "This was my fault in the first place! Now it's just abandoning some things that are destined to be lost to make up for my mistakes!"

"Since you followed me, I naturally have to be responsible for you and your families;"

"This is the obligation I should fulfill as a Lord."

This is both his sincere words and to win people's hearts.
