General Sun remarked, "Whether the Emperor recruits him or not, Shao Yunduan is inconsequential. He's merely a clown, and we'll have ample opportunities to deal with him in due time. What matters now is the north. Let's not get ahead of ourselves."
"I understand you're upset, but your impulsiveness and underestimation of your adversary warrant a lesson. Moving forward, I'll head to Xiangyang to recruit and train soldiers. Join me and commit to rigorous training. Embrace the challenges ahead!"
Sun Pu, buoyed by his father's continued trust in his military prowess, felt a surge of joy. Shao Yunduan's antics faded into insignificance as he eagerly nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, you're right! I recognize my mistakes. Rest assured, I'll excel this time. I won't bring disgrace upon you."
