Chapter 541 The snipe and the clam fight
Sun Bofu?
Liu Biao was stunned at first, then he confirmed in shock. "Sun Jian's son, Sun Ce?!"

It had not been long since Sun Ce came of age and was given a courtesy name, so it was normal for Liu Biao to have a vague impression of the name Sun Bofu.

But Liu Biao knew Sun Ce quite well.

In the past, Liu Biao was always concerned because the son of Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha County, became Li Ji's disciple. When Liu Bei was promoted to the governor of Yangzhou, Liu Biao's fear of Sun Jian reached its peak.

Sun Jian and Liu Bei had a good personal relationship, and his son had a master-disciple relationship with Li Ji.

Furthermore, during the period when Sun Jian served as the governor of Changsha County, he mostly ignored the orders of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, and had a tendency to dominate the four counties in southern Jingzhou.

All of the above were undoubtedly one of the factors that prompted Liu Biao to send Huang Zu to ambush and kill Sun Jian.

Otherwise, when Liu Bei completely controlled Yangzhou, would Changsha County, which bordered Yangzhou, belong to Jingzhou? Or Yangzhou?
What’s more important is the imperial seal. Liu Biao doesn’t want to see the imperial seal fall into Liu Bei’s hands.

"That's right, Sun Wentai is my father!"

Sun Ce answered slowly, then drew out his ancient ingot knife, pointed it at Liu Biao, whose face was filled with fatigue, and shouted.

"You greedy bastard, when you sent Huang Zu to ambush my father, did you ever foresee what would happen today?"

Different from Sun Ce, a young man bent on revenge, Liu Biao, with a gloomy and ugly face, was more concerned about one issue.

"Why are you here?"

As Li Ji's disciple, Sun Ce could be in Wujun, Chaisang, or even in Jingzhou at this moment, and Liu Biao would not be greatly surprised.

However, Liu Biao found it hard to believe that Sun Ce appeared on a plank road about 50 miles east of Qunin City in Ba County.

Sun Ce revealed a somewhat ferocious smile on his face, and answered slowly with the intention of killing Liu Biao.

"You old thief, you boast that you have calculated all the princes around Jingzhou thoroughly, and you want to force Yizhou to take the initiative to attack Jingzhou, and then you can take advantage of the situation to counterattack and seize Yizhou."

"Don't you know that the teacher can see through your thoughts like a fire in the sky? He has long deduced that you, the old thief, are claiming to be a fisherman, but in fact you are trapped without knowing it. He is sure that if you dare to enter Ba County, you will be defeated miserably."

"In this case, the teacher whose vision is not limited to one city or one place should follow the trend. The people of Jingzhou are also the people of the Han Dynasty, so we were sent here to prevent the people of Jingzhou from suffering from the war disaster from Yizhou."

The more Liu Biao listened, the paler his face became.

Even though Liu Biao had had this guess in a flash when he was ambushed and fled in panic, it was now confirmed by Sun Ce, which made Liu Biao feel like a clown who was just being clever.

For a time, this put further pressure on Liu Biao's spirit, which was already under tremendous pressure, and he even had tinnitus, dizziness, headaches and other reactions.

As he was on the verge of collapse, Liu Biao almost fell to the ground. He couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. He pointed at Sun Ce tremblingly, his eyes wide open, and opened his mouth to make a few "ah ah" sounds, but he couldn't utter a word.

It was not that Liu Biao could not bear the pressure, but the huge amount of information conveyed by Sun Ce's few short sentences made Liu Biao despair.

Originally, Liu Biao thought that Liu Bei stationed troops in Chaisang and sent people to show goodwill, waiting for him to invite him to Jingzhou in order to gain the righteous cause of occupying Jingzhou.

But the fact that Sun Ce appeared here, and used the excuse of preventing the people of Jingzhou from suffering from the war disaster from Yizhou, the meaning of this could not be more obvious.

Not only Liu Biao was fooled, but even Liu Yan was also fooled without knowing it.

The way to prevent the people of Jingzhou from suffering from the war in Yizhou is simply to stop the Yizhou soldiers within the territory of Yizhou.

Yufu City and Weiguan Pass were likely to have changed hands three times in a very short period of time. They fell from Liu Yan's hands to Liu Biao's hands, and were secretly controlled by Liu Yan to block the retreat of the Jingzhou army. Now, they are likely to be in Liu Bei's hands.

Liu Bei...

No, the plan of Sun Ce's teacher Guo Shihou was to block the Jingzhou army and the Yizhou army inside Yizhou and delay the time long enough to defeat Yuan Shu and seize Jingzhou.

The three parties will naturally easily form a chaotic situation of checks and balances.

However, once the Yizhou army is temporarily blocked from entering Jingzhou, the forces that can truly determine the affiliation of Jingzhou will undoubtedly be only Yuan Shu and Liu Bei.

Guo Shihou undoubtedly had absolute confidence that he could defeat Yuan Shu and directly swallow up the entire Jingzhou.

Seeing that his foundation seemed to have changed hands in an instant, without even the slightest chance of a comeback, Liu Biao, who was spitting blood, could no longer hold back and started cursing.

"Hypocrite! How dare you, a despicable villain, deceive and play tricks on me like this!"

"Even if I am defeated and die here, your notoriety of sending an envoy to defraud me will surely be recorded in the history books; and your face of seizing the foundation of our clan to satisfy your ambitions will surely be despised by the world!"

At this moment, Liu Biao, whose Taoist heart was shattered, cursed without caring about his face to vent his resentment and anger in his heart.

Even though Liu Biao believed in the use of deception in war and wanted to seize Yizhou, which was from the same clan as him, from the very beginning Liu Biao did not believe the promise made by Liu Bei's envoy that he would never set foot in Jingzhou unless allowed.

But at this moment, Liu Biao had no choice but to vent his anger in this way to vent the resentment in his heart and to comfort himself that it was not his fault that he ended up like this.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing his blood enemy Liu Biao lose his composure like this, Sun Ce felt so pleased that he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the Han people also attached particular importance to filial piety.

Even though Sun Ce was somewhat rebellious in nature and did not approve of Sun Jian's pursuit of reviving the name of his ancestors' Sun family, blood is thicker than water, and Sun Ce also had filial piety and affection for Sun Jian.

If he can’t avenge his father, how can he be a real man?

Looking at Liu Biao's out-of-control appearance at this moment, Sun Ce thought of Sun Jian.

They are also on the run, they are also only a stone's throw away from safety, they are also in control of the imperial seal and are full of ambitions...

That time and that moment, exactly this moment!
However, Sun Ce's harsh and sarcastic laughter barely sobered Liu Biao up a little.

Liu Biao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with one hand and forced himself to speak.

"Sun Bofu, do you dare to kill me?"

Sun Ce gradually stopped laughing. His tall stature made it seem as if he was looking down at the increasingly hunched Liu Biao. He asked in return, "Why don't you dare?"

"Now, I am the only one who knows the whereabouts of the jade seal. If you kill me, does that mean Liu Bei doesn't want the jade seal anymore?"

Liu Biao spoke again.
