Chapter 258 Zhou Lang’s style, Sun Jian surrenders by offering his daughter?
Sun Ce was young and energetic. Although he had heard of Ye Feng's reputation, he was unwilling to admit defeat.

The unique aura of a Heavenly General emanated from him, and Sun Ce said proudly, "Father, half a month ago, when I attacked Wancheng, I had already broken through the Heavenly General."

"That means I am already considered a top warrior."

"What does Ye Feng have to fear?"

Sun Jian's eyes flashed with surprise, and after a moment he shook his head and said, "In this world of change, there are not many people who can defeat the generals of heaven."

"Bofu was able to achieve a breakthrough at such a young age. His talent is extraordinary."

"But how can a celestial general fight against Ye Feng?"

"Do you know how terrifying Lu Bu was in the battle at Hulao Pass? He has become a legendary general, even more terrifying than Xiang Yu, the King of Chu who was invincible in the world back then."

"But in front of Ye Feng, he was killed instantly with just one move."

"I was so frightened when I saw that scene. I even felt that if Ye Feng had the thought, I would be beheaded."

"Since returning from the north, I have often pondered a question: who will eventually take over the world?"

"No matter how I think about it, that lingering shadow always lingers in my mind."

"Later, with the help of Zibu and the two of you, we took advantage of the fact that Yuan Shu was killed and Huainan was powerless to develop our strength."

"I thought it would take at least several years for Ye Feng to attack us, and by then we might be strong enough to fight him. But I didn't expect that in less than half a year, except for Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou, all other places fell into his hands."

"Jingxiang is in danger now, how can we stop Ye Feng?"

"I asked you to come here today to hear your opinions on what we should do."

Sun Ce, who was originally arrogant and full of fighting spirit, also showed a hint of solemnity in his eyes at this moment.

He didn't expect Ye Feng to be so terrifying. He still remembered that when Sun Jian just came back, he asked repeatedly but got no answer. He thought that Ye Feng was at most a few times stronger than himself, and maybe he could succeed if he tried his best.

But did not expect
There was a flash of reluctance in his eyes: "Father, we can't just give away the foundation we have built, right?"

"At least touch it."

"Jingxiang now gathers Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and Cao Cao, three princes."

"In the Battle of Runan, we agreed to cease fire and eliminate the Shanyue bandits inside, so we did not go to support them."

"But now we are in a desperate situation. Let's at least fight. If we lose, it won't be too late to surrender."

"Otherwise, I won't be willing to hand over 50,000 elite soldiers to Ye Feng like this!!"

Sun Ce was the first to express his thoughts.

Sun Jian looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Mr. Zibu, what do you think?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head without hesitation: "Zhenbei Gong Ye Feng suppressed the Yellow Turban Rebellion, fought against the Wuhuan in the north, and went to the grassland to fight against the Xiongnu. It can be said that he is very much loved by the people."

"If the emperor had not died, there might still be many people who would return power to the emperor."

"But now that there is no emperor, how can the rest of the Han dynasty compare to him?"

“What’s more, now that he has divided the land equally, every citizen has more hope for the future.”

"Even Yuzhou and Xuzhou, which we just occupied, are as stable as Mount Tai. Who can stop the edge of the Duke of Zhenbei?"

"The sooner you surrender, the higher your status will be. Although it can't be considered timely assistance, at least you will be the first vassal to come to you with tens of thousands of troops."

"Add to that the friendship we had at Hulao Pass, and your future prospects will be limitless."

Sun Jian was a little moved. He had seen Ye Feng's horror and was unwilling to confront him.

If handing over power and territory could be exchanged for a high position and generous salary, allowing the Sun family to stand at the top of the world, this would not be a bad thing.

While he was thinking, Sun Ce said anxiously, "Father, we were able to occupy the three counties. In addition to relying on Mr. Zibu, Gongjin also made great contributions. We should listen to Gongjin's opinion on this matter, right?"

As he spoke, Sun Ce winked at Zhou Yu.

Sun Jian looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Bo Fu is right."

"Gongjin, although you are young, you have extraordinary insights. What do you think we should do?"

"To surrender or not to surrender?"

Zhou Yu was silent for a while: "After thinking about it, based on the information we have now, we can't be Ye Feng's opponent."

"It can be said that as long as he sends a large army to our border, we will be like chickens and dogs, and we will not be able to defeat him."

Sun Ce was shocked: "Bofu, didn't you say before..." Zhou Yu interrupted Sun Ce and sighed: "If it were you who fought the Battle of Runan?"

Sun Ce was stunned.

Zhou Yu said: "If Ye Feng is just brave and powerful, no matter how powerful he is, he will reveal his flaws."

"But Ye Feng's most powerful thing is his brain."

"The design is so ingenious, and everyone's actions are calculated in mind. Such a person is terrifying."

"Although I don't want to admit it, we can't be their opponent."

Sun Ce seemed to be in a trance and didn't say a word.

Sun Jian nodded slowly: "Since everyone thinks they should surrender to Ye Feng, then I will send someone to contact him."

"At least give us some more benefits."

Zhou Yu shook his head: "My lord, this is absurd."

"What's the meaning!"

Zhou Yu said: "Not fighting is fighting, fighting is just drawing fire upon oneself."

"What kind of person is Ye Feng? Why would he negotiate with others when he is about to take over the world?"

"Negotiation and threats will only lead to inferiority."

Sun Jian was silent for a while: "But we can't just not talk about anything, right?"

"This is inevitable"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "First, make great contributions. With this contribution as a foundation, if you surrender, how can Ye Feng not reward you handsomely?"

"If that were the case, everyone in the world would speak up for the Lord, so why would we need to take the initiative to speak then?"

Sun Jian pondered for a while, then nodded: "How can I achieve merit?"

Zhou Yu said: "Jingxiang."

"And then present it to Ye Feng. This will be a great achievement."

"Jingxiang?"

Sun Jian's eyes sparkled: "Jingxiang is indeed a great gift."

“It’s just about how to give it.”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Go with the flow. Jingxiang is the place where the winds and clouds gather. It is also the final great achievement."

"If we can capture Jingxiang in one fell swoop and capture Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Liu Biao alive, the world will be at peace."

"When ambitious people collide with each other, how can they tolerate others sleeping beside them?"

"We just need to show up in Jingxiang at the right time, that's enough."

"Especially Huang Zu from Jiangxia. We can capture his reinforcements."

Sun Jian understood instantly: "How can you be sure that Ye Feng will succeed?"

"What if we can't conquer Jingxiang?"

Zhou Yu said: "Even if we can't break it, with our help, we can advance eastward to Yangzhou. Jingxiang is also a dead end and will be broken sooner or later."

"This way our contribution will be even greater."

"But the most important thing is to consolidate the lord's position."

“This is not something that can be made up for by merit.”

"Ok?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Yu said: "My lord's daughter Sun Shangxiang is extremely beautiful. If you can give her to Ye Feng, they will be a perfect match from now on. In addition, you have made great contributions, so your future is limitless."

Sun Jian's eyes sparkled, and he stroked his beard and laughed: "Gong Jin, you really found a way to wealth and honor for our Sun family!"
