Zhou Yu was the highest in the martial arts, and Zhang Zhao was the highest in the civil service, and the two of them were Sun Ce's most important courtiers.

Now Sun Ce has an unusual taste.

If Sun Ce had hardly had any fear of Liu Yu in the past, he would have sent troops to attack on the spot. But now that he has experienced so much, Sun Ce has matured a lot, and he has a lot of worries in his heart, and he has become indecisive.

There are good and bad changes to this. The good thing is that Sun Ce will not be so reckless, and he can think twice about doing things. If it is bad, it will make his subordinates feel that Sun Ce has lost his previous blood, and they will be a little disappointed.

However, these are not the point, the biggest key is that Sun Ce knows that it is okay if he wins, if he loses, it will be an allusion to the death of people and laughing for the world.

The plan of deception is not so kind in Sun Ce's heart, although this world is the winner is the king, but if he wants his own men to sacrifice, Sun Ce still can't do it. Compared with other princes, Sun Ce is still a bit humane. At the very least, I think it will hurt my heart to let my subordinates die.

"Xu Yuanzhi said that the plan of deception. Gongjin and Zibu, do you think it's feasible? Sun Ce finally opened his mouth.

Zhou Yu himself was in favor of this strategy, but he did not take the lead in expressing his opinion, and gave the older Zhang Zhao a chance to speak first.

Zhang Zhao knew Zhou Yu's plan, so he took the lead and said: "My lord, for the sake of Jiangdong, if the plan of deception is feasible, it is not impossible to sacrifice a little. ”

Zhang Zhao, as a person from Xu Huai, was squeezed out by the Jiangdong family after taking refuge in Sun Ce, and now Sun Ce is his biggest reliance, and now at the critical moment, Zhang Zhao must put Sun Ce's interests first. This is Sun Ce's personal charm, if it is replaced by someone else, such as Sun Quan in history, Zhang Zhao will let him die, anyway, Liu Yu got Jiangdong, and the glory and wealth of his Zhang family will not be any less.

Zhou Yu just wanted to test Zhang Zhao's loyalty to Sun Ce, and he was very worried about the recent activities of Liu Yu's fine work in Jiangdong. The ability of these fine works is very strong, even if Jiangdong's are completely prepared, they are still infiltrated by them, and as Xu Shu said, many fine works have become the guests of some families. Zhou Yu knew very well what the Jiangdong family was, but what he was most worried about was whether the people that Sun Ce absolutely believed in would betray Sun Ce. All Zhou Yu had planted a lot of spies to monitor many Wenchen and military generals before. The results obtained were gratifying, and there was no abnormal state among Sun Ce's subordinates. But only Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong's side, Zhou Yu was not so relieved. Because Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are both scheming people, there is no abnormality on the surface, it does not mean that there is no secret. Zhou Yu had to test it. Fortunately, in the temptation just now, from Zhang Zhao's thoughtful expression, Zhou Yu could see that Zhang Zhao was loyal to Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu came out and said: "Lord, Zibu's words are for the lord's consideration, and please think carefully about the lord." ”

Sun Ce sighed leisurely: "Since the age of seventeen, my Sun Ce has gone through thousands of hardships, even if it is dangerous, he has never thought of using a trick to surrender. I can become the lord of Jiangdong, relying on every subordinate who serves my Sun Ce, how can I do this. ”

Sun Ce lost his father at the age of seventeen, and has been fighting until now with the mission of reviving the entire family, charging in front, retreating and covering behind, and has never given up any of his subordinates. Sun Ce was resistant in his heart.

Zhang Zhao said: "Lord, the eldest husband acts, but he wants to be worthy of his heart. The Lord can sympathize with us, and we firmly believe that the Lord is the Lord we follow in this life. For the great cause of the Lord, we can give our lives at any time. Don't hesitate, my lord. The lord is a little overlord, how can he have such a daughter-like attitude? ”

Ginger is still old and spicy. Zhang Zhao's words were like a sharp sword straight into Sun Ce's heart. Xiaobawang is a hero who is unparalleled in the world, how can he be like a woman.

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, this old guy relies on the old and sells the old, he is not afraid of offending Sun Ce, even if Zhou Yu dares to say this about Sun Ce, Sun Ce will definitely break out, and it is still light to beat Zhou Yu hard.

Being caricatured as a woman, Sun Ce stood up on the spot and squinted at Zhang Zhao, which could see the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Zhang Zhao's face was as usual, his hands were behind his back, his head was held high, and his eyes met Sun Ce's. Zhou Yu praised Zhang Zhao, the old guy, for his courage, and he really admired it. If Zhou Yu found that Zhang Zhao's hand behind him was trembling slightly, he wouldn't think so. Zhang Zhao relied on his age to use such an advantage to suppress Sun Ce, but Zhang Zhao's heart still had no bottom. Sun Ce is a little overlord, in case of an outbreak, Zhang Zhao will not be able to eat and walk around.

Zhang Zhao was very worried, but Sun Ce smiled and said, "Okay, what Zibu said is very right, how can I complain here like a woman." Since everyone is willing to contribute to me, how can I chill your hearts? ”

"The lord is wise!" Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, Sun Ce was really lucky that he didn't get angry.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and said lightly: "Gong Jin, we had the arrangement before. Then it's up to you to take care of the plan this time. ”

"Okay!" Of course, Zhou Yu has no problem, and he is very much in favor of this strategy.

Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Ce had already made up his mind, and he was about to leave.

But Sun Ce didn't let him leave so easily, and said: "Zibu, you must pay more attention to this logistics, and there must not be any mistakes." ”

When Zhang Zhao heard this, the pupils of his eyes shrank, and Sun Ce was making it clear that he was going to calculate him. He and Zhang Hong are responsible for the logistics, and now Sun Ce has explained that he must not have a bad pool, is it because he sarcastically mocked him like a woman just now?

If this Sun Ce is looking for trouble, Zhang Zhao will definitely not be able to escape. Zhang Zhao said very calmly: "Don't worry, the old man must do it properly." ”

Anyway, he can't escape, Zhang Zhao might as well simply admit it, he just thought about Sun Ce's light when he started, his body was relatively weak, and he couldn't bear too much.

After Zhang Zhao left, Zhou Yu also said: "Bo Fu, then I'll arrange it now." ”

"Gong Jin, it is absolutely necessary to ensure the safety of those who go. I don't want anyone to die. Sun Ce admonished.

Zhou Yu gave Sun Ce a firm look, this thing is inevitable, there is no perfect way, and Zhou Yu will not do it.

With such a reply, Sun Ce was also able to feel at ease, he also felt tired, and waved Zhou Yu back.

After Zhou Yu arrived at his residence, he began to think about how to use the trick. But this strategy was publicly said by Xu Shu, and a bad one would reach Liu Yu's ears, and the actual significance of the deception was not great.

But what Zhou Yu wants is such an unrealistic deception. Fraud needs to make the other party believe in their sincerity, but if the other party knows their own reality and comes up with a plan, then this plan will probably fail. There must be some of them that require all kinds of temptation. And what Zhou Yu needs is such a temptation.

It doesn't matter if Liu Junxiang doesn't believe it, even if Liu Yu really knows in advance that the people he sent over are fraudulent, it doesn't matter much, as long as he can complete the plan in Zhou Yu's heart.

Although this is the case, the necessary work is still needed. For example, the candidate who went to the scam needs to be carefully considered.

With ability, high status, and great influence, there are not many such candidates in Jiangdong.

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai are veterans who have enough weight, but if they say that they want to betray Sun Ce, let alone Liu Yu, even Zhou Yu himself can't convince himself. Dissatisfied with what Zhou Yu said in the past, it was simply a joke to be dissatisfied with Sun Ce. Sun Ce has been helping these veterans step by step since he was a child, and he is like an elder to them.

However, some other younger generals, Zhou Yu felt that their weight was insufficient, and the probability of Liu Jun's side believing it was very low.

If it was Wenchen, Zhou Yu would have directly abandoned these people. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong go, the two old guys are almost at the age of entering the earth, even if they are willing to volunteer to go, Zhou Yu does not dare to agree.

Zhuge Jin is Zhuge Liang's brother, and if he wants to surrender, he may become a real surrender. Zhuge Jin's loyalty to Sun Ce, Zhou Yu believed, but Zhou Yu didn't believe that Zhuge Liang, as the commander of Liu Jun, would not know his eldest brother's temperament. So Zhuge Jin was also excluded from the candidates.

The Wenchen of the four major families in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu directly filtered out, these people may really be preparing for surrender, in their words, they can make Liu Yu believe, but maybe something unpredictable will happen. If they could, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce would have cleared the Jiangdong family a long time ago. Now Zhou Yu has a little admiration for Liu Yu, Liu Yu has already done something to the family, and he has minimized the influence of the family in his own territory little by little, and no one in the world can do it like Liu Yu. But if Zhou Yu knew that Liu Yu was thinking of digging up the roots of all the families, would Zhou Yu admire Liu Yu even more?

Zhou Yu thought about it, but he didn't know who to go, and he was really annoyed.

At this time, Huang Gai came to look for Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was thinking about the candidate, and he didn't understand what Huang Gai was looking for him for, so he let him in immediately.

"See the Governor." Huang Gai is very polite to Zhou Yu, it should be said that the veterans of the entire Sun family are very polite to Zhou Yu, the young governor, first put aside the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, Zhou Yu's ability is worthy of the respect of the veterans of the Sun family.

Zhou Yu said with concern: "Gongfu, come to me, what's the matter?" ”

Huang Gai said to Zhou Yu: "Governor, the last general heard in the hall today that Xu Yuanzhi said that he would use a trick to surrender. After thinking about it, the last general felt that this trick could be used. But the words have already been spoken, I'm afraid Liu Jun's side must know. Therefore, the general thinks that it is okay to carry out the plan of deception, but another strategy must be added. The last general thought that he could calculate it, and used the strategy of fire attack to defeat all the Liu troops in Jiangbei in one fell swoop! And under the hair, he recommended himself and volunteered to become this deceitful person! ”

Zhou Yu looked at Huang Gai differently, it seems that this veteran's intelligence is not low, and he can actually think the same as him. And Huang Gai is so righteous that he does this kind of life-and-death thing, which is admirable.

"Gongfu, it's rare that you can sacrifice for the Lord, I admire! But that's not enough. Zhou Yu directly rejected Huang Gai.

"Not enough? Governor, what's not enough? "Huang Gai really can't figure it out.

"Publicly, for no reason, do you think Liu Yu will believe you to surrender? You have followed the Sun family since the old lord was there. The hard work is high, and the lord treats you as adults, I really can't think of any reason to make Liu Yu believe it. Liu Yu was a very cunning guy from the beginning, his vision is high, and we may be calculated by him. Zhou Yu said embarrassedly.

Huang Gai thought very well, but he didn't think about what opponent he was going to face.

"What should I do? Do you want to watch the Liu army in Jiangbei complete the whole army and kill me Jiangdong? Governor, maybe Liu Yu will believe it. Huang Gai said.

"Even if Liu Yu believes it, there is still a huge flaw on our side, and if there is no way to solve it, it is really impossible to implement the strategy." Zhou Yu said embarrassedly.

"Can the governor make it clear that although the last general is not talented, he is also a little capable, and he may be able to share his worries for the governor." Huang Gai said.

"It's not something that can be solved by manpower. Publicly, you better go back and rest first, if I have a way, I will definitely inform you. Zhou Yu shook his head, he didn't think that Huang Gai would be able to solve the problem in his heart.

"Then the general will take his leave." Huang Gai has no way to continue to pester Zhou Yu, everything is still dominated by Zhou Yu.

After Huang Gai left, Zhou Yu kept thinking about Huang Gai's words just now, if he went to deceive Huang Gai as Huang Gai, Liu Yu would not believe it, and it would not work at all.

"If there were people who were similar to Bo Fu to surrender, then the effect would be much better." Zhou Yu thought in his heart.

But then Zhou Yu dispelled this idea again, Jiangdong can have a similar status as Sun Ce, he Zhou Yu is one, do you want Zhou Yu to carry out fraud? Even Zhou Yu himself doesn't believe it, let alone others.

"Damn Xu Yuanzhi, why did you say this in front of so many people, making Pontus so troubled now." Zhou Yu secretly scolded Xu Shu.

It's just that Zhou Yu was kicking the ball to Xu Shu at the beginning, and Xu Shu put Zhou Yu together.

While Zhou Yu was pondering and meditating, a soldier outside the door walked in and said respectfully: "Report to the governor, the second general is here to visit." ”

Sun Ce is the lord of Jiangdong, and his second brother is called the second general by the Jiangdong soldiers. Needless to say, Sun Ce's second brother is Sun Quan, who was called by Cao Cao as a son like Sun Zhongmou.

"Zhongmou? What is he here for? Zhou Yu thought suspiciously.
