Zhou Yu heard that Sun Ce was ordered to attack Lujiang, so he asked curiously: "Since Brother Bo Fu was ordered to come to attack Lujiang, there must be soldiers and horses accompanying him?" ”

"I have brought five hundred cavalry, and they are hidden in the dense forest outside the city, and I will enter the city to find out the truth, and when I return, I will lead them to attack Shucheng." Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu said again: "Brother Bo Fu has told such important information, aren't you afraid that we will inform Lord Taishou of this news?" ”

"I have already made a tour of the city, and although there are many guards in the city, in front of the soldiers and horses I brought, they are just a rabble, and they are not vulnerable at all." Sun Ce was confident.

Zhou Yu laughed and said: "Brother Bofu is too arrogant, Lujiang is under the governance of Lu Taishou, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they do not close their doors at night, and Lu Taishou rewards and punishments clearly, and the duke is selfless, and he is deeply loved by the people of the county." Once I spread the news that Brother Bo Fu led the army to attack the city, the people of the county will inevitably spontaneously go to the city to defend and live and die with Lu Taishou. Brother Bo Fu is only 500 people, even if they all think of one as a hundred, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Lujiang, if they help Lu Tai defend the city together, how can Brother Bo Fu capture this city? ”

Sun Ce frowned, his face also showed a hint of hideousness, and said loudly: "If you really dare to destroy my good deeds, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Sun Ce put the ancient ingot knife he was wearing on his waist on the table, and his sharp eyes scanned everyone present, quite majestic.

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Brother Bo Fu's martial arts are outstanding, and we are indeed not opponents." However, once Brother Bo Fu starts to kill someone, it will inevitably attract the attention of the officials, and at that time, Brother Bo Fu wants to attack the city again, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult, right? ”

"How are you going?" Sun Ce stood up suddenly, clutching the ancient ingot knife, ready to unsheath it at any time.

Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's nervousness, and immediately smiled: "Brother Bo Fu doesn't have to be like this, I just happened to be joking with Brother Bo Fu." As far as I know, Lu Taishou has a good reputation, has always been very respected, and has no grievances with Yuan Shu, I don't know that Yuan Shu is going to send Brother Bo Fu to attack Lujiang? ”

Sun Ce immediately borrowed grain from Yuan Shu from Lu Kang, but Lu Kang refused to give it, and Yuan Shu was furious, so he sent troops to capture Lujiang and told Zhou Yu about it. And, together with Yuan Shu's promise to him, he told Zhou Yu together.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "Brother Bo Fu, Yuan Shu is capricious, although he promised to make you the Taishou of Lujiang after you captured Lujiang, but it may not be sincere. Even if Yuan Shu really asked Brother Bo Fu to be the Taishou of Lujiang, Brother Bo Fu was still subordinate to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu could let someone replace you as the Taishou at any time. Yuan Shu is absurd, stubborn and self-serving, not the master, Brother Bo Fu does things under him, he is not Yuan Shu's henchman, and he is controlled by others, there must be no future, it is better to leave early, with Brother Bo Fu's eloquence, he will definitely be able to make a big difference! ”

After hearing this, Sun Ce sighed heavily and said, "I don't know what Yuan Shu is like. I also want to leave Yuan Shu, but I have no soldiers and no power, even if I leave, what can I do? Therefore, it can only be pinned on Yuan Shu. And he also promised me, after capturing Lujiang, he asked me to be the Taishou. Once I become a taishou, I can secretly recruit troops, and when I have enough strength to break away from Yuan Shu, I will naturally no longer listen to his dispatch. ”

Zhou Yu said: "Yuan Shu's soldiers are many generals, and Lujiang and Jiujiang belong to Huainan together, even if you become the Taishou of Lujiang, you are secretly recruiting troops here, Lujiang is close to Jiujiang, and you are not Yuan Shu's henchman, how can he not be wary?" If you want to concentrate on developing here, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult. What's more, maybe Yuan Shu's order will change overnight, appoint you as Taishou today, and send someone else to replace you tomorrow, and then it will be difficult for you to break away from Yuan Shu, and you will still be controlled by others after all. ”

After Sun Ce heard this, his face was helpless, and at the same time, a thick cloud was cast in his heart, after listening to Zhou Yu's words, it seemed that he would never have a day to get ahead.

Zhou Yu saw that Sun Ce's expression was sluggish, and his words changed, and he immediately said: "However, if Brother Bo Fu really wants to break away from Yuan Shu, it is not impossible to ......."

Sun Ce raised his head abruptly and asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Yangzhou Assassin Liu Miao has a great deal with Yuan Shu, a few months ago, he led a large army to the north to attack Huainan, although he was repelled by Yuan Shu, but he was able to rely on the Yangtze River to resist Yuan Shu's army, and dominate Jiangdong. However, although Liu Miao has talents, he can't use people, so that in the area of Wu Yue, talented people all want to return to the master. If Brother Bo Fu can borrow soldiers and horses from Yuan Shu and go to attack Liu Xuan, with the courage of Brother Bo Fu, he will definitely be able to defeat Liu Xuan and win Jiangdong. When the time comes, Brother Bo Fu will recruit talents and gather soldiers secretly, so that he will be able to break away from Yuan Shu and dominate Jiangdong with the people of Wu Yue and the solidity of the three rivers, so as to achieve a great cause! ”

After Sun Ce listened to Zhou Yu's plan, the dark cloud that had been shrouded in his heart suddenly disappeared, and the sunshine seemed to be sprinkled all over his heart, and he seemed to see his future in his eyes.

Suddenly, Sun Ce walked straight in front of Zhou Yu, clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Thank you Brother Zhou for your guidance and sweeping away the haze in front of me, Bo Fu is really grateful." ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "Brother Bo Fu doesn't have to be like this, I just do my best." Moreover, the reason why I plan so much for Brother Bo Fu is to let Brother Bo Fu dispel the idea of attacking Lujiang......"

"Even if I don't attack Lujiang, Yuan Shu will still send others to attack Lujiang, I have already heard of Lu Taishou's reputation, and I led the crowd to come this time just for food. If Lu Taishou could lend Yuan Shu 30,000 stone of grain, Lujiang would naturally be spared the suffering of swordsmen. Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and then said to Sun Ce: "Brother Bofu, Lu Taishou is upright, and he has always been very jealous of Yuan Shu's behavior, if you want him to take out the food obediently, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky." However, it is man-made, and I have a way to get the best of both worlds, which can not only allow Brother Bo Fu to take away the food, but also avoid the suffering of the sword soldiers in Lujiang. ”

"Oh? If there is such a good plan, then why should I not do it! Sun Ce said.

So, Zhou Yu said a plan to Sun Ce, and after hearing it, Sun Ce was very happy, and at the same time admired Zhou Yu's resourcefulness very much.

"Brother Zhou is resourceful, which really makes Bo Fu admire, if Brother Zhou can always be by my side to give advice, I believe that in the near future, I can achieve great achievements." Sun Ce said.

After Zhou Yu heard this, he smiled and said: "I have been admiring Brother Bo Fu for a long time, if Brother Bo Fu does not dislike it, Gong Jin is willing to follow Brother Bo Fu from now on, and give advice to Brother Bo Fu sooner or later......

"Great, if I get Gongjin, I will definitely be able to achieve a hegemony." Sun Ce said happily.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce sympathized with each other, Sun Ce took the initiative to worship Zhou Yu in order to win people's hearts, Zhou Yu excused himself several times, but did not refuse, seeing that Sun Ce was gracious, so he married Sun Ceyi Jinlan.

The two reported each other's birth dates, but it turned out that they were born in the same year, but Sun Ce was a few months older than Zhou Yu, so Zhou Yu called Sun Ce as his brother, and Sun Ce called Zhou Yu as his virtuous brother.

When the rest of the people saw it, they were all very happy, they were convinced by Zhou Yu, and they also admired Sun Ce.

Subsequently, Sun Ce went out of Shucheng with Zhou Yu and others to meet the five hundred cavalry, and then under the command of Sun Ce, these five hundred cavalry all turned into merchants and entered Shucheng in batches.

After that, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu took these 500 cavalry to encircle the Taishou Mansion, and Sun Ce relied on two fists to fight all the way into the Taishou Mansion and tied up the Taishou Lu Kang with his own hands.

Sun Ce coerced Lu Kang, while Zhou Yu persuaded Lu Kang bitterly, using both soft and hard measures, and finally got Lu Kang's consent and promised to give Sun Ce food and grass. However, in the granary of Lujiang, there were only 20,000 stone of grain, and Sun Ce wanted to take 10,000 stone of grain and leave the remaining 10,000 stone to Lu Kang.

Zhou Yu relied on his connections in Shucheng to organize a grain transportation team for Sun Ce, and after transporting all the 10,000 stone grain out of the Lujiang River, Sun Ce released Lu Kang.

Although Lu Kang hated him, he was a righteous gentleman, since he promised Sun Ce and Zhou Yu not to pursue the matter again, he did what he said, and did not sanction Zhou Yu, nor did he send troops to pursue Sun Ce.

So, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu escorted the grain and grass and headed towards Shouchun.

When he arrived at the junction of the Lujiang River and the Jiujiang River, Zhou Yu was reluctant to see Yuan Shu, so he separated from Sun Ce here, and gave Sun Ce a bag, so that after Sun Ce arrived in Shouchun, he would open the bag and then act according to the plan.

Sun Ce reluctantly held Zhou Yu's hand, unwilling to part with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu told Sun Ce that he would wait for the news of Sun Ce's attack on Jiangdong in Shucheng, and once he received the news from Sun Ce, he would raise some soldiers to go to Sun Ce and go to Jiangdong with Sun Ce.

After the two separated, Sun Ce continued to escort grain and grass to Shouchun. When he returned to Shouchun, Sun Ce went directly to see Yuan Shu and reported his achievements.

Yuan Shu learned that Sun Ce had returned, and he did not lose a single soldier, and he also brought back 10,000 stone of grain, although he did not capture Lujiang, but for the sake of these grains, he did not say anything.

Sun Ce returned home, opened the bag given by Zhou Yu, hurriedly looked at the trick in the bag, and couldn't help but say: "It's really a clever plan!" ”

It happened that Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Liu Xun and others to attack Runan in Yuzhou, and the army was outside, and there were only a few soldiers and horses in Shouchun City.

So, Sun Ce thought that the time had come, so he wrote a letter, called his henchmen, and asked the henchmen to take the letter to Liyang in the starry night, and handed the letter to his uncle Wu Jing in person.

After that, Sun Ce sat in Shouchun City and waited for news.

A few days later, the henchman returned and brought a reply from Wu Jing, stating that he and Sun Ce's cousin Sun Ben were willing to follow Sun Ce's arrangement, and had written to Yuan Shu, falsely claiming that Liu Xuan's army had crossed the river to attack Liyang and asked for support.

On the second day, Yuan Shu really sent someone to invite Sun Ce, Sun Ce went directly to the state pastor's mansion, and as soon as he saw Yuan Shu, he hugged his fists and said: "The last general will see your lord!" ”

Yuan Shu said with a smile on his face: "Bo Fu, you came at the right time. Just now, your uncle Wu Jing sent someone to send a message, saying that Liu Miao led the army to attack Liyang again, and prayed for support, and now Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and others are leading troops outside, and they are using troops against Yuzhou, and I have no troops to adjust. But Liyang is very critical, and I can't help it, I think about it, or I'm ready to send you to support Liyang, I don't know what you think? ”

Sun Ce hugged his fists and said: "For the sake of public and private, I have to go to the rescue, but the adults have no soldiers to adjust, and it will be useless for me to go alone." ”

Yuan Shu frowned, and also had a hard time, and said: "It's really not good, I ordered to raise three thousand soldiers, led by you, to support Liyang." ”

Sun Ce said: "My lord, the newly recruited soldiers are brave and untrained, and it will be useless to go. ”

Yuan Shu was embarrassed and said, "What should I do?" ”

Sun Ce hugged his fists and said, "My lord, it's better to be like this." My father's old subordinates Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi and others are all brave and good at fighting, although the number is not large, but they are all people who have been in battle for a long time, if they can go with me, we and others work together to kill the enemy, and they will definitely be able to repel Liu Xuan's army. ”

After Yuan Shu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed with Sun Ce's opinion, and ordered people to notify Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi and others, and all went to Liyang to support.

Sun Ce then said goodbye to Yuan Shu, turned over on his horse, took his weapon, and went straight to Liyang, and he longed for infinite beauty in his heart!
