Chapter 193: Zhou Yu's Poisonous Strategy
The gold was lost in Jiangdu City, and it was as if a dark cloud had been hanging over Tao Ying's head. Gold is a trivial matter, what he cares about is Zhuge Liang, Xiaohuan and Xu Sheng's lives!
In a small village in front of the mountain in the north of Jiangdu City, Tao Ying sat next to a thatched hut with Zang Ba, Zhao Yun and others, and a young man brought out a few glasses of water from the house and put them in front of everyone.
"Lord, raise a room of gold in three days, this can't be done at all!"
Zang Ba looked at Tao Ying with some embarrassment, and Wei Jing also persuaded beside him: "Lord, this may be a conspiracy, maybe that Gan Ning will unite these water thieves to rob the lord's treasure!" ”
Wei Jing reminded beside him, and on the Yangtze River, the morning fog had just cleared, and Gan Ning's fleet just sailed to Jiangcheng, not far from Jiangdu City. Jiangcheng is now the territory of the little overlord Sun Ce, and when Gan Ning's fleet sailed by, a building boat blocked Gan Ning's way.
Gan Ning's fleet stopped, and when the two ships were close, someone laid a wooden plank between the two ships, and Zhou Yu walked along the wooden plank to Gan Ning's ship. He was accompanied by a dozen men carrying boxes of gold, and the heavy gold crushed the planks that connected the ship.
Gan Ning sat on the deck, and Zhou Yu first bowed and said, "Leader Gan is going to Jiangdu City?" Gan Ning didn't get up when he saw that it was Zhou Yu, he just nodded, it didn't seem like they were meeting for the first time.
It is also true that Sun Ce wanted to surrender to Gan Ning, but Gan Ning did not surrender to him as in history, because Gan Ning at this time did not seem to have changed his spirit. According to historical records, Gan Ning did not change his past until he was twenty years old, and then began to study, and finally wanted to establish a meritorious service, so he spent money to buy a candidate county order in Shudi.
"So what? Do you want to stand in my way? ”
Gan Ning didn't take Zhou Yu in his eyes at all, and Zhou Yu suddenly laughed: "You don't have to go to Jiangdu City, does Boss Gan want to be richer than the second son of Xuzhou?" The second son of Xuzhou has piled up two rooms of gold in Jiangdu City, can Leader Gan compare to him? ”
At the mention of the second son, Gan Ning frowned and said, "Who is the second son?" ”
Seeing that Gan Ning was still in the dark, Zhou Yu told him. It turned out that the reason why Jiangdu grabbed gold was all planned by Zhou Yu alone.
Zhou Yu has a fellow villager who works under Gan Ning, and he is the general of the building ship of Gan Ning. Zhou Yu's brother came from Yuan Shu and happened to meet him in the Huai River, so the two of them got together on the boat. When he drank too much, Gan Ning's subordinates told Zhou Yu's brother about the robbery on the Huai River.
When Zhou Yu's brother heard about it, he hurriedly ran to tell Zhou Yu. How smart is Zhou Yu? He planted a spy in Guangling, he found out the news that Tao Ying was coming, calculated the time and route, and it just coincided, so Zhou Yu expected that Gan Ning was robbing Tao Ying's ship.
So, in order to kill Tao Ying without spending a single soldier, Zhou Yu designed to let the water thieves Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin join Yan Baihu of Wu County to go to Jiangdu City to rob the gold. Then provoke Tao Ying to fight with Zhou Tai and others, so as to sit and watch the two tigers fight, no matter who loses, it will be beneficial to his lord.
If Tao Ying defeated Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, then Sun Ce would have one less threat on the Yangtze River, and when Tao Ying fought against Zhou Tai and the others, they would also be able to free up their hands to clean up Tao Ying's ally Liu Xuan.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he provoked it, Jiang Qin, a water thief who saw that he was open-eyed, was really fooled! And even if he was fooled, Zhou Yu even took the position of gold and Taishou to let him take the initiative to challenge Tao Ying!
The strategy is not evil!
However, it seems that it is not only this that is more vicious, Zhou Yu heard that Gan Ning was coming to Jiangdu City, and he thought of a more vicious strategy to provoke the agreement between Gan Ning and Tao Ying, when the time comes, if Gan Ning joins the battle against Guangling again, it may not be necessary to hit Guangling City at that time!
