Zhou Yu nodded slightly, he thought that Sun Ce's idea was correct. The conspiracy is not terrible, the most terrible thing is the kind of conspiracy that you can't think of any clues at all, but it exists faintly.

Zhou Yu began to think about whether there was something missing on his side, but no matter how much they thought about it, they couldn't figure out what the situation was.

"Gongjin, this matter may not be so important." Sun Ce said after thinking about it.

Zhou Yu came to his senses and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"Think about it, my Jiangdong army has been killed in Xuzhou, and it exists like an iron bucket in Guangling County. Didn't Liu Yu use a lot of intrigues and tricks to expel our forces in Xuzhou before? But what is the end result? Guangling County is not the same in our hands! In my opinion, even if Liu Yu has any conspiracy, he just wants to expel us. As long as we don't be fooled, we can stay in Xuzhou steadily. You must know that we are not the only ones attacking Xuzhou now, but Cao Cao's side is attacking very fiercely. And with Gongjin here, what conspiracy does Liu Yu have to make it difficult for you? Sun Ce said such a lot of truths.

After listening to it, Zhou Yu analyzed it for a while, and also felt that things were the same as Sun Ce's thoughts, but the deep uneasiness in his heart could not be calmed down.

"That's fine. Now we are indeed still in Xuzhou, and the battle situation in Xuzhou should be arranged first. Zhou Yu suppressed his uneasiness.

The two began to discuss the gains and losses of this expedition. This failure was Sun Ce's own carelessness, not realizing that the other party would be so shameless, so there would be so much embarrassment. Sun Ce knew his own shortcomings, and he also reformed in response to this situation. Sun Ce used to fight like to take the lead and rush to the front, but this time he almost died, Sun Ce also felt that he couldn't take such a risk again, at least in the future, there was no need to go out on his own in the future, and it was best not to go out in person. It is most effective to be like Liu Yu and Cao Cao when it is critical.

Zhou Yu was relieved that Sun Ce could have such a change, which is the demeanor that a master should have.

Zhou Yu also talked about the gap between Jiangdongjun and Xuzhou Liujun. In addition to the quality of the soldiers, the biggest gap is the cavalry.

Xuzhou is a plain, which is the most suitable for cavalry attacks. The Jiangdong Army lacked cavalry that could compete with Liu's army, and this would be a huge problem that could not be solved for a while.

If there were a large number of cavalry in Jiangdong, Sun Ce would have been chasing the Central Plains a long time ago. Zhou Yu is resourceful and can strategize, but he is not as powerful as Sun Ce in grasping the battlefield. Sun Ce proceeded from the reality of his own army, the cavalry was very powerful, but it was not invincible. The cavalry is most afraid of long-range attacks, so Sun Ce arranged for soldiers to carry a large number of bows and arrows, as long as they met Liu's cavalry, then they used bows and arrows to attack from a distance. Archers alone were not enough, Sun Ce was ready to add sword and shield soldiers to his troops as protection, and a large number of pikemen as a counterattack force against cavalry assaults.

Let's not talk about whether Sun Ce's idea can succeed, but at least it is a good way to deal with Liu Jun's cavalry so far. Zhou Yu approved Sun Ce's arrangement, and Sun Ce could order his subordinates to implement his decision.

After doing all this, Zhou Yu directly locked Sun Ce in the room. Before Sun Ce cured the poison on his body, Sun Ce was not allowed to take half a step out of the door. Sun Ce couldn't refute it if he wanted to, otherwise he would be tied up by Zhou Yu like he was seriously injured in Xuzhou last time.

After three days, the Jiangdong Army in Guangling County had a rare holiday. Zhou Yu considered the failure of the last march, so he chose to temporarily recuperate and restore the physical strength and morale of the soldiers.

Zhou Yu also brought many generals to express condolences in the barracks, and Sun Ce was also released by Zhou Yu. For such a major event as condolences to the soldiers, it is not possible without the lord coming out. Otherwise, Zhou Yu would have been told by others that he wanted to seize power. Although Zhou Yu is very relieved about Sun Ce, he is also afraid of gossip, Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, and Zhou Yu still understands this truth after reading a lot of books.

After the soldiers were gently comforted by Sun Ce and others, they all regained their spirits one by one, and they did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for Sun Ce.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu returned to their residence with full relief.

However, a letter from the Jiangdong base camp disrupted all the arrangements of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.

Koto is in trouble!

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu couldn't believe it when they looked at the letter in their hands.

Jiangdong was very stable after Sun Ce sent troops to Xuzhou. But I don't know when it started, there were some rumors in Jiangdong. There are Zhou Yu and Sun Ce who do not agree, and there are also Zhou Yu who want to seize power, a lot of messy things. The people of Jiangdong trust the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce very much, and treat this rumor as if they have not heard it. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who were in charge of guarding Jiangdong Town, also disdained such rumors, which were not reliable at all, let alone them, even the people on the streets of Jiangdong would not believe it. Zhang Zhaodu felt that this message was insulting the IQ of the entire Jiangdong.

This rumor is so untrue that Jiangdong doesn't believe it, and no one cares.

It was this that no one cared about, so it led to the uncontrollable situation later.

These rumors were spread in Jiangdong by Jia Xu, an old fox, who arranged the "dark department", and they took advantage of the Jiangdong people's own disdain.

The spies of the "dark department" were also a little resistant at first, you said that it was okay to spread everything else, and it was useless to spread the discord between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were not only brothers who intersected in life and death, but also brothers-in-law, it can be said that they are closer than brothers, and it is useless to discord. But Jia Xu has always insisted, and the spies of the "dark department" have also admitted it, anyway, you like it now, let's just play with you, and it is your own responsibility to fail in the end.

Until everyone in Jiangdong didn't believe it, the spies of the "dark department" fed back the situation to Jia Xu, hoping that Jia Xu could stop this unnecessary waste of manpower. But when Jia Xu heard such news, he became even more excited. Jia Xu arranged for the "dark department" to continue to spread rumors about Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in Jiangdong.

This time, Jia Xu is not dividing the relationship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but spreading the news of Sun Ce's defeat in Xuzhou. When Jia Xu heard about the confrontation between Sun Ce and Gao Ran, he asked the "dark department" to spread the news, which was simply prescient.

The people of Jiangdong are a little suspicious of this rumor, because Sun Ce failed in Xuzhou last time. This time I will definitely lose a little bit in Xuzhou, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. And this time there is more evidence to prove it than before. There were many merchants in Jiangdong who came and went to Xuzhou, and even in wartime, for money, merchants risked their lives to do business, so they also brought back the news of the defeat of the Jiangdong army in Xuzhou. This is due to the "shadow" spies.

If it was false before, this time it will be true, and everyone in Jiangdong believes this information.

This rumor spread, and it seems that all the people of Koto know the news. Even the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army began to worry, if Sun Ce was defeated, then they would have to go to support. Cheng Pu and other veterans directly found Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong and asked about Sun Ce's situation.

At this time, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong knew that something was wrong, this must be the enemy's instigation, and they wanted to make Jiangdong internally unstable. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong hurriedly sent people out to refute the rumors, wanting to calm people's hearts. The reasons they gave were very sufficient, as the people who were in direct contact with the lord, they did not receive the situation of the lord's army, how could the news of the lord's defeat spread to Jiangdong so quickly, this is a rumor.

Well, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong reacted relatively quickly, and the prestige of the two of them has indeed stopped the spread of rumors.

The spies of the "dark department" did not expect Jia Xu's strategy to be so useful, and hurriedly spread the second rumor ordered by Jia Xu.

The news of Sun Ce's defeat has just been refuted without an afternoon's effort, and then Jiangdong began to circulate even more bad news, Sun Ce was miserably calculated by Liu Jun, and now he is poisoned, and he will hang up at any time, and Zhou Yu adopted a secret strategy to try to control the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou in an attempt to stand on his own.

This rumor set off a monstrous wave in Koto like a depth charge.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were shocked, because they had just received the news that Sun Ce was poisoned, but it was not as serious as the rumors said.

Zhang Hong hurriedly asked Cheng Pu to lead the soldiers to arrest the people who spread the rumor, and he couldn't let the rumor continue to spread.

Zhang Zhao was against it at first, because if you are arresting people now, doesn't that mean that your heart is empty. But if you don't catch people now, then the whole Jiangdong will be plagued by rumors. Sun Ce's rule in Jiangdong was not so strong, and there were many people waiting for Sun Ce to be unlucky.

Cheng Pu knew the importance of this matter, and immediately led his soldiers to arrest the people who spread rumors in the streets and alleys of Jiangdong. The spies of the "dark department" left from here in time, and let Jiangdong's own people beat him, and they just watched the show.

Sure enough, as Zhang Zhao expected, Cheng Pu arrested people at the beginning, and completely confirmed Sun Ce's poisoning, and the silent hearts of many people who had opinions and hostility towards Sun Ce began to liven up.

These people are all members of the family, and they immediately used their various resources and connections to investigate the situation of Sun Ce in Guangling County, Xuzhou, and the final result was really as rumored that Sun Ce was poisoned, and he was defeated. The people of Guangling County saw that Sun Ce was carried back to Guangling, and their faces were very bad at that time. The "dark department" knew the purpose of these people, and even used various channels to convey bad news to Sun Ce to the Jiangdong family.

Jia Xu even let the spies of the "dark department" continue to infiltrate Jiangdong, instigating the family to rebel and mess up Jiangdong.

After getting such good news, these people who were dissatisfied with Sun Ce began to make small moves, and they gathered together in groups of three or five to discuss how to take advantage of this rare opportunity to take Jiangdong back from Sun Ce's hands and restore the previous good situation of Jiangdong in the harmonious distribution of profits among the families.

Although some people considered that Sun Ce might not be so serious, this kind of thinking was a minority, and it was quickly drowned in the waves of dissatisfaction with Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce seized Jiangdong, he killed too many people from the Jiangdong family, and almost all of the Jiangdong family had blood debts, and now that Sun Ce was unlucky, how could they not take revenge.

The "shadow" spies began to make waves, making the Jiangdong family even more dissatisfied with Sun Ce.

They laid out a huge plan, and then elected among themselves a man named Fei Lan as their leader. Why did the Koto family recommend this concubine? Because of her talent and strength, she has produced many generals in Jiangdong, and she has a high attainment in the military. Of course, this is relative. Originally, the family in Jiangdong recommended the Lu family to lead them, but everyone in the Lu family politely refused, they were willing to contribute money and food, but they were unwilling to send people. The people of the Lu family are resourceful, they feel that if they fail, then the Lu family will definitely die. It's not that the Lu family hasn't fought against Sun Ce, their previous head of the family died at the hands of Sun Ce, and they have a deep understanding of Sun Ce's horror. So they didn't dare to be the first bird, lest they be retaliated against. If they win, then they can follow the masses and get the benefits they deserve. It's a win-win-win thing, so why not.

With the Lu family taking the lead, several families also followed the Lu family's route, and they were also worried about being retaliated against by Sun Ce or the Sun family.

Another important point is that Fei Lan has her own army, and Danyang County is almost the world of the Fei family, so Fei Lan was elected to be the commander of the revenge Sun Ce.

The Jiangdong family raised troops in Danyang County, openly rebelled against Sun Ce, and made a bloody alliance, vowing to seek justice for the Jiangdong people slaughtered by Sun Ce before, and calling on all people with conscience in Jiangdong to participate.

This thing is a big deal, and some people actually rebel.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong sent troops to quell the rebellion without saying a word, wanting to quell the civil strife in Jiangdong as quickly as possible, so as not to create trouble for Sun Ce.

It's just that things didn't go as smoothly as Er Zhang thought, and the troops of the Jiangdong Army who went to quell the rebellion were beaten back.

There is no way, most of the elite soldiers in Jiangdong were brought to Xuzhou by Sun Ce, the current troops of the Jiangdong Army are all second-line troops, and these rebellious soldiers are their private soldiers.

The failure set off a chain reaction.

In addition to the arrogance of Fei Lan and others, it also made other ambitious people see the weakness of the Jiangdong Army. Rebellions in other counties have also intensified.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the barbarians, who had always been a big problem in Jiangdong, saw that the Han people were in chaos and also came out of the deep mountains, wanting to get a piece of the pie from this chaos.

The wolf smoke is everywhere, and Jiangdong is in danger.

So don't underestimate a small rumor, the effect is huge.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong regret dying now, if they knew this, they would have curbed the previous rumors and would not have the current situation. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.

Jiangdong's Wenchen generals couldn't control the situation anymore, and hurriedly informed Sun Ce of this matter.

That's what happened before.

Zhou Yu finally understood why his uneasiness came from.

Sun Ce was so angry that he shouted: "Who is it?" It's such a scourge to my Jiangdong! My grandson Bofu is going to break his body into ten thousand pieces! ”
