But are we just going to admit defeat? Just because we took a look at the other party’s fleet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this nonsense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe! I didn’t say I was going to admit defeat directly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce smiled cunningly: “Liu Biao still has to be fought! Jiangdong still has to be occupied! However, attacking Jingzhou and competing with Su Xuan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This remains to be considered!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel we can’t win! In fact, I feel that in the future, this world will likely fall into Su Xuan’s hands;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The final winner will only be him;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether it is Cao Cao, Lord Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, or Liu Bei, they should not be Su Xuan’s match in the end.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Just what we see is so terrifying; heaven knows what terrifying things he has developed after years of focused development?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The navy has iron ships, what about the army? Will there be even more terrifying military weapons appearing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce didn’t think he was letting his imagination run wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu frowned and had to admit that Sun Ce’s speculation was very reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what are you going to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t win, and looking at Sun Ce’s posture, he didn’t seem to want to surrender directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a little curious about Sun Ce’s thoughts at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Surrendering directly is impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce smiled slightly: “But there is no hope of winning if we contend completely, so I have decided!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take Jiangdong first, satisfy the addiction of being a warlord, and then issue a formal challenge to Su Xuan, challenging him;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The challenge is divided into three rounds: naval battle, land battle, and duel of generals;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I lose all three, I will directly lead everyone under my command to surrender to Su Xuan and offer the entire Jiangdong. Zhou Gongjin, what do you think of this idea?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t really stupid; he knew there was no hope of winning, yet he still wanted to stubbornly collide head-on and end up sacrificing the lives of his entire clan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, admitting defeat and surrendering to Su Xuan was not a shameful thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, it wasn’t the first time they had lost to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been crushed twice in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time was with his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed very proud, but this pride couldn’t be raised in front of Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, putting aside the idea of competing for hegemony, Sun Ce was quite interested in surrendering to Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there were several peerless martial arts experts of the Heaven-Human Realm under Su Xuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone like him who had a strong pursuit of martial arts, the attraction of Su Xuan’s side was actually quite large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very curious why Su Xuan could recruit and cultivate so many Heaven-Human Realm experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Su Xuan himself seemed to be a Heaven-Human Realm expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simply incredible; you have to know that Su Xuan was not many years older than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His talent was simply terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Sun Ce’s brain-opening and surprising idea, Zhou Yu also stared at Sun Ce with wide eyes and exclaimed: “You guy, you actually have the brain to think of such a method?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce heard this and saw Zhou Yu’s strange look, and his brows frowned: “Zhou Gongjin, you are scolding me, right? You must be!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe! Nothing of the sort!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu smiled and waved his hands: “I am praising you! I think this idea is good! At least, it leaves a good way out for ourselves;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At the same time, it can truly test Su Xuan’s strength and have a real head-on confrontation;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if we really lose all three rounds in the end, there will be no regrets or unwillingness!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is indeed the best method!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was also an extremely proud person, if he lost to the other party in his specialty, then admitting defeat was nothing shameful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t to the point of being unable to afford to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, that was the King of Zou Qian, Su Xuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of talent and intelligence, he could be said to be unparalleled in the world. Which young person now doesn’t admire him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could achieve such brilliant achievements at his age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Zhou Yu paused and continued: “In order for us to obtain the greatest merit after surrendering, I think we should do more for the King of Zou Qian in advance;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For example, more thoroughly clean up the scholar clans and powerful families in Jiangdong, especially those unruly ones who are not clean behind the scenes;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By then, handing over a relatively clean Jiangdong to the King of Zou Qian will save him a lot of effort. I believe this will show more sincerity and be more likely to be appreciated and reused by the King of Zou Qian. What do you think, Bofu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Sun Ce, the lord, already had the idea of surrendering to Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu naturally had to plan for them early and maximize the benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What, you say it’s not certain yet? Still have to compete for three rounds?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, in Zhou Yu’s view, this was just Sun Ce’s last stubbornness, a forced attempt to save face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were definitely going to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of naval warfare, the terrifying ironclad fleet seen before was not something their navy could deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of land warfare, who in the world didn’t know that the army under Su Xuan was invincible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his debut, he had never lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had previously suffered a crushing defeat in Lujiang and Jiujiang at the hands of Su Xuan’s army, so there was no chance of winning here either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the duel of generals?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was even more without suspense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who didn’t know that there were several Heaven-Human Realm peerless experts under Su Xuan, and even experts at the level of internal energy were likely not few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, there was no chance of winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce was speechless when he heard this and looked at Zhou Yu: “Do you think we are bound to lose, so you are preparing the sincerity for surrender in advance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does it feel a bit stifled?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think we have a chance of winning?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu also looked at Sun Ce speechlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t it you who had a salted fish face just now, feeling that there was no hope of winning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could we win?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce also rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew their own situation; this so-called competition was just to give themselves a step down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And by the way, to strive for good joining conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t that it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu shook his head amusedly: “Since we already know that defeat is inevitable and we are prepared to join Su Xuan’s command! Naturally, we must maximize the benefits!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have heard that everything under Su Xuan is based on merit and ability;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those who have ability and can establish sufficient merit can get Su Xuan’s reuse and rewards;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Legend has it that Su Xuan has also set up a Merit Pavilion, specifically used for subordinates to exchange for various divine skills, secret manuals, divine weapons, and even heavenly treasures... etc.;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard that Su Xuan has already mastered the means of large-scale breeding of exotic beasts and taking their meat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His Merit Pavilion can even exchange for a large amount of exotic beast meat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm! The premise is that you have enough merit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you want to obtain more merit and exchange for more divine skills, divine weapons, and exotic beast meat and other cultivation resources?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed that even under the relatively harmonious Su Xuan, there was internal competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there is a chance to maximize benefits, why not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really or fake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce was stunned; it was clear he didn’t know this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu rubbed his brows helplessly: “Don’t you pay attention to this important information? I remember I mentioned it to you before, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy, sometimes he really gives him a headache!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you say he’s stupid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce is very shrewd many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you say he’s smart, he sometimes acts very stupid and cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu sometimes didn’t know which one was the real Sun Ce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce laughed sheepishly: “I really forgot about this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Sun Ce’s expression became serious: “Since you say there is, then there must be! If so, it is very necessary to consider how to obtain the greatest merit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Gongjin, are you sure that if we clear out those scholar clans and powerful families in Jiangdong for the King of Zou Qian in advance, we can really win his favor and get greater rewards?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t mess things up by then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu shook his head confidently: “You are not unaware of the King of Zou Qian’s New Policies. As long as we follow the standards of the New Policies and clear out a portion of the stubborn scholar clans and powerful families whose foundations are the least clean in advance, reducing the difficulty for Su Xuan to take over Jiangdong in the future, we will inevitably get greater rewards;”\u003C\u002Fp>",1546,"2026-06-16T22:49:48.247Z","2026-06-16T22:58:41.015Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1307bbe683826a373216dcebe88b4783d1a7fa04f96222ee2d7009fc5fc2c254","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-395","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-393",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
