Yuzhang, Nanchang City.

Prefect's Mansion, in the study.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at the news of the city destruction coming from Chaisang, their brows filled with worry.

"Lin Fan took action anyway."

"If you don't move, it's enough. If you move, it's like the roar of mountains and seas, unstoppable."

"Chaisang has been destroyed. How long can Nanchang hold on?"

Sun Ce was not only asking himself, but also asking Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu did not speak rashly and was silent for a long time: "Is Lin Fan's goal really us?"

Sun Ce was stunned: "Does this need to be said?"

"Nanchang City is only separated from Chaisang by Poyang Lake. Do you think Lin Fan's target is not us?"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "I don't know either. I always feel that Lin Fan shouldn't deal with us first."

"We are not mortal enemies with him, but the only thing between Liu Bei and Lin Fan is life and death."

"If I want to capture Yangzhou and Jiangdong, I only need to capture Liu Bei to force us to surrender, because at that time we are already desperate."

"Why are you here fighting to the death with us? Let Liu Bei sit back and reap the benefits?"

Sun Ce said bitterly: "Lin Fan captured Jingxiang, defeated Cao Cao, and his power increased greatly. At this time, he must be extremely swollen. Our power is not worth mentioning in his eyes. How can he care about these details?"

"Gongjin, what should we do now?"

"The fish is dead and the net is broken. We're afraid we won't have this chance."

Zhou Yu sighed: "Bo Fu, what are you thinking?"

Sun Ce said: "A man is born between heaven and earth. In troubled times, he naturally has to do something. Otherwise, wouldn't he be worthy of the great opportunity?"

"Originally, I donated the jade seal to seize the land of several counties from Yuan Shu. Everything was developing in a good direction."

"It's a pity that Lin Fan has risen so quickly. There are not even a few people in the world who can check and balance him."

"As a result, the place we captured now turned out to be a dead place."

"Although I want to compete with Lin Fan, I know that our chances of winning are extremely low."

"Perhaps I should leave a way to survive, not only for myself but also for my family, for the old people who have been with my father for a long time."

Zhou Yu said: "So you are conflicted."

"On the one hand, you want to compete with Lin Fan, but at the same time, you also want to have a way out."

"It's just that there is no way to have both in this world?"

"You have to choose one side, what would you choose?"

Sun Ce was silent for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know, Gongjin, I will listen to you this time."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "We might as well wait a moment."

"Look how powerful this Lin Fan is."

"If he can really destroy Liu Bei as quickly as possible, what's wrong with us submitting to him?"

"After all, in troubled times, our chances of winning the world are getting slimmer and slimmer. All we need is to choose the one with the best chance of winning the world, and finally surrender to him."

"And Lin Fan, who has destroyed Liu Bei and occupied half of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Huainan, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou, is enough to sweep the world. It is not wrong for us to choose him."

"What do you think?" Sun Ce hesitated for a moment: "By surrendering to Lin Fan, maybe he can really dominate the world, but can we trust him?"

"If we are not trusted, we might as well fight to the death. At least we will live up to our ambitions."

“Sending help in times of need is the icing on the cake.”

"Coming back now may be a little bit of a help in times of need, but if Liu Bei is destroyed, the rest will be the icing on the cake."

“It’s better to add icing on the cake than to provide help in times of need.”

"We both want to take advantage of it, but where in the world is there a guaranteed profit without losing money?"

"perhaps."

Zhou Yu smiled and waved his hand: "You feel unwilling to surrender now, but you will have no regrets if you wait a little longer."

"Even if we guess Lin Fan's purpose, it's still very difficult to crack it, and there's even nothing we can do."

"Since there is no other way, it is better to wait for the result."

"As for the fear of not being trusted if you surrender, I have a clever plan that will surely relieve your worries."

"Ok?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Since ancient times, only marriage has been the most stable. Your little sister is good-looking, brave and has a high eye."

"Aren't you worried about how to find a suitable husband for him?"

"Lin Fan has outstanding appearance, both civil and military skills. He is a good match. Not to mention with our help, he is very likely to become a noble in the Ninth Five Years. By then, the Sun family will be extremely valuable!"

"Isn't this good?"

Sun Ce was stunned and was about to get angry, but it could be seen that although Zhou Yu was teasing, his eyes were full of determination.

"Are you serious?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Isn't this good?"

"You want to ask for a safe way, I guarantee this is the safest way."

Sun Ce was silent for a while, then a smile appeared on his face: "That's fine!"

"You are my good brother, I will naturally believe what you say."

"From now on, I will wait patiently to see what happens."

"If Ye Feng is a real dragon, what's wrong with us assisting the real dragon?"

"Hahaha!!"

"Today, let's have a nice drink together. We won't go home until we're drunk!"

"I would like to thank you for helping Xiang'er find someone to entrust her to!"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "Why do we brothers have to talk about this?"

"The main thing is to untie the knot in your heart. Now that you have untied it, you have to have a good drink."

"Walk!!"
