Sun Ce listened to what Lu Su said, and felt that there was some truth, after all, Lu Su even said the words of Yuan Shu's rebellion, which was enough to show the sincerity of Lu Su's words.

Sun Ce sat back on the floor and continued to ask: "What evidence do you have to canonize your lord Yuan Yao as the pastor of Yangzhou, which is Cao Cao's strategy of killing three soldiers with two peaches?" ”

Lu Su saw that Sun Ce had calmed down, and his heart was also a little relaxed, and he replied loudly: "Wu Hou knows that on the edict of canonizing my lord as the pastor of Yangzhou, another edict was also written, that is, let my lord send troops to attack Liu Bei in Xuzhou?" ”

Sun Ce snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! What does this mean? This can only show that your lord Yuan Yao and Cao Cao made a deal, and Cao Cao used the position of Yangzhou Mu in exchange for your lord Yuan Yao to send troops to attack Liu Bei in Xuzhou! ”

"Wu Hou's words are wrong!" Lu Su stroked his beard and smiled, and replied: "Cao Cao canonized my lord as the pastor of Yangzhou, and ordered my lord to send troops to attack Liu Bei, isn't this another opportunity for Wu Hou to take advantage of the weakness to attack my three counties of Lujiang!" Wu Hou never thought that if Wu Hou fought with my lord, who would benefit in the end? ”

When Sun Ce heard Lu Su's words, he also began to ponder, after all, this matter was too important, and Sun Ce had to think twice, Lu Su saw that Sun Ce began to think about this matter, and continued: "Wu Hou think about it, Cao Cao ordered me to attack Liu Bei in Xuzhou, which can not only allow me to cut off contact with Yuan Shao in Hebei, but also create an opportunity for him to attack Xuzhou; At the same time, he canonized my lord as the pastor of Yangzhou, and also mobilized my lord's troops and horses to attack Xuzhou, triggering Wu Hou's intention to use troops against the three counties of Lujiang in my country. ”

Sun Ce hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you saying that Cao Cao wants to stabilize the rear, so that he can devote all his strength to dealing with the upcoming big battle with Yuan Shao in Hebei?" ”

"Hahahaha, Wu Hou really has outstanding vision, and the foreign minister admires it!" Lu Su bowed to Sun Ce again and said: "Cao Cao's repeated actions can not only allow him to sweep away the Xuzhou occupied by Liu Bei, but also allow you and me to raise up soldiers and have no time to take care of him, it is obvious that he is making final preparations for the upcoming big war with Yuan Shao, Wu Hou must not fall for Cao Cao!" ”

As soon as Lu Su's words fell, Zhou Yu suddenly laughed a few times and stood up, pointed his finger at Lu Su, and shouted: "Hahahaha, Zijing is really eloquent, are you going to emulate the story of the retreat of the Qin soldiers during the Warring States Period!" It's just a pity that my lord is not a Qin general, and you are not a high string, now that my Jiangdong has gathered 100,000 troops to Wuhu, do you still plan to let my Jiangdong withdraw with a mere three-inch tongue? ”

"Hahahaha, Gong Jin said it was funny!" Lu Su also laughed a few times in response to Zhou Yu, then arched his hand to him, and replied: "Wu Hou is naturally not a mediocre and incompetent Qin general, and he is naturally not an empty heart in the next place, and my land of the three counties of Lujiang is not an unprepared Zheng Guo!" ”

"When my lord sent out the army, he had already expected that Gong Jin would persuade Wu Hou to raise troops to attack the three counties of my Lujiang, so in addition to ordering the army to come to Wuhu in the next place, I have already made sufficient preparations in the land of the three counties, and the cities have been ordered by my lord to defend strictly, and will never give Wu Hou the opportunity to sneak attack, and my lord has also gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses from the land of Jiangxia, and now these 20,000 soldiers and horses should have been garrisoned to the front line of Xunyang, as long as Wu Hou's army enters the land of my army, The 20,000 troops will immediately march east to support Anhui County! ”

"In addition, when my lord sent troops to Xuzhou, he had already set the military strategy for this battle, and this time my lord would only take the four counties of Huainan in Pi County, and would never let the army under his command step across Huaishui! In order to guard against Cao Cao's attack, Liu Bei will definitely tolerate our main attack on the four counties of Huailing, and then secretly reach an agreement with our lord to strike the army, so the battle of Xuzhou that Gong Jin is looking forward to will definitely not begin! ”

"The four counties of Huailing are the buffer land set up by Liu Bei and the three counties of my Lujiang, in which the army is empty and the army has no will to fight, my lord personally led an army of 30,000 to attack it, and it will be invincible, if it is expected to be good, at the latest tomorrow there will be a report of the battle of my main attack on the four counties of Huailing!"

When Lu Su said this, he turned to look at Sun Ce and said, "If Wu Hou leads the army to attack my three counties of Lujiang at this time, my lord will be able to quickly return to the army to rescue, and then you and I will only be able to start an earth-shattering battle in these three counties!" ”

"Now that the time is winter, it is advantageous to defend but not to attack, it is extremely unfavorable for Jiangdong, is Wu Hou really ready to fight a decisive battle with my lord?" Lu Su bowed deeply to Sun Ce again, and said: "Wu Hou, if you and I suddenly start a war at this time, the final result will only be a defeat for both sides, and at that time, it will only make Cao Cao see the joke and the fisherman will benefit, you and I will definitely become the laughing stock of the world, and please Wu Hou think twice before acting!" ”

After Sun Ce listened to Lu Su's words, he began to hesitate in his heart, his chances of winning this battle were that Yuan Yao and Liu Bei would start a big battle, and he would give him a chance to sneak in and attack Anhui County!

But now Yuan Yao not only expected that he would send troops to prepare, but Yuan Yao also did not plan to start a life-and-death battle with Liu Bei, and he could withdraw his troops at any time to help the land of the three counties, and he didn't give him the slightest chance at all! Moreover, what Lu Su said is right, now that the three counties of Lujiang have already prepared, and the time has already reached winter, maybe there will be snowflakes falling in the next moment, and at this time, it is not conducive to attacking with troops.

In this way, it can be said that the time, place, and people are favorable, and he doesn't occupy any of them, is he really ready for a decisive battle with Yuan Yao?

Zhou Yu saw that Sun Ce was deep in thought, and Lu Su had already gained the upper hand, so he reprimanded angrily: "Not to mention your sophistry, your lord Yuan Yao has stolen the position of my lord's Yangzhou pastor, this matter is already a fact, can you admit it?" Moreover, even if this battle is unfavorable in every way, but now that my Jiangdong army has sent troops here, if my lord withdraws at this time, I am afraid that my Jiangdong will immediately lose its prestige! ”

"Lu Zijing, if your lord doesn't show sincerity, and just wants to stop my 100,000 army in Jiangdong with just a blank mouth, it is impossible to !! this matter."

Zhou Yu's words hit Sun Ce's mind, as the saying goes, there is no turning back when the bow is opened, at this time, the 100,000 troops in Jiangdong have been sent to Wuhu, if they stop the army, how will the people of the world view this matter?

I am afraid that the prestige of Jiangdong Army and his Sun Ce will be destroyed immediately, such a result is absolutely unacceptable to Sun Ce, if this is the case, Sun Ce would rather fight with all his strength to win!!
