At this moment, Sun Quan's brow was tightly furrowed, a rare hint of hesitation on his face.
In the face of this sudden battle, he was hesitant and didn't know what to do.
After all, he was a young king.
As one of Sun Quan's trusted aides, Lu Su could naturally see this.
He stepped forward and slowly said, "Don't worry, Your Highness.
"Don't worry, my lord. The more tense the situation is, the more we need to calm down."
"Your Highness, this subject would like to ask Your Highness a question."
Sun Quan nodded.
"What is it, Zi Jing? There is no harm in asking."
"Your Highness, do you want to return to Jiangdong to attack Bai Feng and take back Danyang and Huiji?"
"Or do you want to continue attacking Yuzhang and conserve your strength until you have sufficient soldiers before making a decision?"
The moment Lu Su finished speaking, Sun Quan bitterly smiled.
"Zi Jing, this is what I am most worried about right now."
"To be honest, I want to lead my soldiers back to Jiangdong and capture Bai Feng alive to avenge Zhang Zhao, Generals Cheng Pu, and Han Dang."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Gai angrily stepped forward and loudly said, "Your Highness, Your Highness!
Since that's the case, what are we waiting for?! "
"Your Highness, this general is willing to lead my soldiers back to Jiangdong and personally bring back Bai Feng's head!"
"Otherwise, this general will bring his own head to see you!"
When the other Jiangdong generals saw this, they also stepped forward and begged Sun Quan to send his soldiers.
"Your Highness, this general is also willing to follow Old General Huang back to Jiangdong!"
"Generals Cheng Pu and Han Dang are our seniors. They taught us like our fathers."
"If we don't take revenge, our Jiangdong Army is not human!"
Seeing the agitated reactions of the generals, Sun Quan helplessly said.
"Right now, I can empathize with the feelings of all of you soldiers."
"As the Marquis of Wu, I have directly lost three old meritorious officials today. This makes me feel extremely pained!"
"However, if we rashly send out troops, we will definitely attract the attention of Li Yuanba and the others."
"When the time comes, there will be a new problem!"
He wasn't wrong.
Don't forget that the war between Sun Quan and Yu Zhang is still ongoing.
Once he rashly sent out his troops, Li Yuanba and the others who were not far away would immediately rush over.
At that time, it would undoubtedly bring them one step closer to destruction.
However, the Jiangdong generals did not think so.
Huang Gai, Zu Mao, and other Jiangdong veterans clenched their fists and roared.
"Hmph! Isn't it just a Li Yuanba? If he dares to come, then I will definitely make sure he doesn't return! "
"He came at the right time. We haven't settled the score from last time!"
"Your Excellency, please don't hesitate now. Quickly give the order to return to Jiangdong!"
Sun Quan ignored the pleas of the generals and turned to Lu Su, who had remained silent this entire time.
He was the Marquis of Wu, and he had to consider all of Jiangdong.
If he only listened to the pleas of the generals, sooner or later, Jiangdong would be destroyed.
Sun Quan gestured with his hand.
"Zijing, you haven't said anything yet. You must be seriously thinking about something."
"If you have an idea, then say it. One more opinion means one more path to take."
Lu Su's eyes flickered as he pondered for a moment.
"Actually, I am also suggesting that Your Excellency return to Jiangdong and take back the land that belongs to us!"
The moment he said this, all the Jiangdong generals widened their eyes in excitement.
They had originally thought that Lu Su had remained silent because he wanted to oppose their return to Jiangdong.
They did not expect that he would be standing on their side today.
"Hahaha, so the Governor is also standing on our side!"
"Your Excellency, you see, even the Governor has spoken. Then let's stop hesitating and return to Jiangdong as quickly as possible!"
Seeing that the generals were getting restless again, Sun Quan finally opened his eyes wide and slammed the table as he shouted.
"Impudent! You guys are really energetic today, interrupting my thoughts time and time again. Are you trying to rebel! "
"If you say another word, I won't let you off easily!"
In the end, Sun Quan was the Marquis of Wu. When the Jiangdong generals saw that their lord was angry, they quickly shut their mouths.
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
The surrounding environment became extremely quiet at this moment, as if time had come to a standstill.
Sun Quan lightly coughed and asked Lu Su.
"Oh, Zijing, there's no need to mind. Continue."
Lu Su nodded.
"I suggest that Your Excellency return to Jiangdong and attack Bai Feng. There are two reasons for this."
Sun Quan raised an eyebrow.
"Explain in detail."
"This Bai Feng is no god. He clearly went to attack Kuaiji not long after conquering Danyang.
"I have to admit that this fellow is truly a talent.
"Not only is his military prowess outstanding, his strategy is also on par with the Young Crouching Dragon and Phoenix."
At this moment, a cold light flashed across Lu Su's face.
"He's been through two fierce battles in a row. No matter how many soldiers he has, he won't be able to hold on.
"In other words, the current Bai Feng will be much weaker than before.
"Your Excellency, this is the best opportunity for us to attack him.
"As for the second reason, it's naturally because of Zhang Zhao, Generals Cheng Pu, and Han Dang. We must avenge them!"
Hearing this, Sun Quan let out another bitter laugh.
"Zijing, of course, I know what you're talking about.
"But once we attack, Li Yuanba, who has been watching us from Yuzhang, will immediately catch up to us.
"At that time, we'll be in great trouble!"
At this moment, Lu Su, who had been tense all this while, suddenly smiled.
Sun Quan's eyes lit up when he saw the change in Qin Wentian.
"Zijing, you were smiling just now. Did you think of something?"
Lu Su chuckled.
"Haha, if I spoke without a plan, wouldn't I be a laughingstock?
"Although Li Yuanba and the others have been watching us from Yuzhang, it truly isn't easy to deal with them.
"But we can call for reinforcements."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd in the tent became restless again.
But because of Sun Quan's earlier outburst, all the officials discussed in hushed voices.
"Did I hear wrong? Governor Lu Su said that he wants to call for reinforcements?"
"Haaa, our Jiangdong is about to be conquered. Who would come to save us?"
"Wait, could it be that Governor Lu Su is referring to …"
Sun Quan also thought of this point, and his eyes brightened.
"Zijing, are you referring to …?"
