Chapter 144

"Second brother..."

"Father... will he never open his eyes again?"

The girl also understood in her heart.

Her father was dead.

He would never be resurrected.

But she still hoped that all this was not true.

She hoped her second brother would tell her that her father was just sleeping and might wake up in a while.

However, her second brother was only a teenager of ten years old at this moment.

He couldn't give her the answer she wanted.

Yes, these two were none other than the young Sun Shiwan and Sun Shangxiang.

Not long ago, Sun Jian took the two siblings and one hundred personal guards to another city.

But on the way, they encountered a long-planned ambush by the Yuzhou aristocratic group.

Led by Ji Ling, thousands of elite archers pieced together by the Yuzhou aristocratic group were lying in ambush in this grass.

Just as Sun Jian passed by.

Ji Ling gave an order.

Thousands of arrows fell from the sky like a torrential rain.

Sun Jian held his ancient ingot saber and fought hard, but was ultimately outnumbered.

At the critical moment, he hurriedly ordered two personal guards beside him to escort Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang away.

Ji Ling's goal was to kill Sun Jian.

Therefore, for these two little fish, Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang, he didn't have much spare time to send people to kill them specifically for a while.

After sending Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang away.

These two personal guards killed their way back again, and the ending was naturally death in battle.

And Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang stayed in a relatively safe place for nearly two hours before they dared to return.

At this moment, the backs of the corpses on the grass were covered with arrows.

Sun Jian and one hundred personal guards were all buried here.

But if we talk about the person who was hit by the most arrows, it was Sun Jian himself.

He had almost been shot into a hedgehog sieve.

Due to Gu Yi's butterfly effect.

Sun Jian did not become an enemy of Liu Biao as he did historically.

He also avoided the fate of being shot to death by Lu Gong, a general under Jiangxia Prefect Huang Zu.

But the poor Sun Jian ultimately couldn't escape this disaster.

In recent times, the struggle between him and the Yuzhou aristocratic group had reached a white-hot stage.

The number of Yuzhou aristocrats who died at Sun Jian's hands was already countless.

Furious, they decided to take "decapitation action"!

They predicted Sun Jian's only path in advance.

Led by Ji Ling, elite archers were lying in ambush here, waiting for Sun Jian.

This decapitation action could be considered a complete success for the Yuzhou aristocratic group.

But...

They forgot a very terrifying fact!

Although Sun Jian was dead, the main force under his command still existed!

Moreover, Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce.

In terms of personality, he was probably even more fierce and irritable than Sun Jian!

It could be said that the blue is better than the indigo.

Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang didn't dare to walk around at will, but continued to stay where Sun Jian died.

Until night fell.

The relief force led by Huang Gai arrived at this place.

Through the accounts of Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang, the truth of the matter was restored.

"Yuan Shu, you dog thief! Ji Ling, you dog thief!"

"I will definitely kill you!"

Huang Gai cursed angrily.

But at this moment, relying solely on roaring naturally couldn't avenge him.

Huang Gai took Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang, and Sun Jian's corpse back to the city where Sun Ce was.

Except for Sun Ben and Zu Mao who had already died in battle (see Chapter 56 for details).

At this moment, even Sun Jian himself had died at the hands of the Yuzhou aristocratic group.

It is conceivable.

In the next period of time, under Sun Ce's leadership, the revenge of the Sun family army would undoubtedly be more fierce than before!

Yexian.

This is the location of Sun Jian's title "Marquis of Ye".

After burying Sun Jian's corpse.

Sun Ce endured the grief and indignation in his heart and inherited the army left by Sun Jian.

At this moment, wearing mourning clothes, he was sitting in the council hall, holding a meeting with the civil and military officials under his command.

"My lord!"

"If this revenge is not avenged, we swear not to be human!"

Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang stood up first.

As the three great generals who had followed Sun Jian the longest, these three had considerable say in the army.

However, before the three finished speaking.

Only to see Zhu Zhi and Kan Ze look at each other, and then spoke together:

"Three generals, don't be impatient."

"Revenge must be avenged!"

"But how to avenge this revenge must be discussed in the long run."

"Now, Yuan Shu and the group of aristocrats behind him have completely lost any face!"

"Various means can be described as using every possible method."

"If we blindly seek revenge, I'm afraid that not only will we not be able to achieve results, but we will also increase losses in vain."

Strictly speaking, the Sun Jian army didn't have any figures who could be called strategists at this moment.

Basically, most of the core high-level officials were just fierce generals and didn't have the big picture to think about problems.

Zhu Zhi and Kan Ze were considered rare two people who could offer advice.

Hearing this, Sun Ce, who was sitting at the head, fell into deep thought.

Although Sun Ce had an irritable personality, he was by no means a reckless man.

On the contrary, his wisdom was no lower than Sun Jian's, and even more so.

After all, if he were really just a reckless man.

Historically, there wouldn't have been the matter of him using the Imperial Jade Seal to borrow troops from Yuan Shu and conquering a large area of Jiangdong land!

To put it bluntly, although the founder of the Eastern Wu regime was Sun Quan, Sun Shiwan.

But the person who truly laid the foundation was Sun Ce.

At this moment, Sun Ce's heart to avenge Sun Jian was more intense than anyone else's.

But he understood in his heart.

This matter cannot be rushed!

"Our army's current troop strength, compared to Yuan Shu, does not occupy an advantage, and can even be called a disadvantage!"

"Acting rashly will not only fail to avenge the revenge but will also wastefully lose troop strength."

Sun Ce said.
