Chapter Seventy-Six: Great Foolishness and Wisdom
After Bai Tu gathered more than 100 civilian horses in Shucheng, he fled with more than 100 people overnight, and until noon the next day, he did not find the intention of chasing soldiers, so he was completely relieved!
It seems that Zhou Yu should have acted......
This reminded Bai Tu of Zhuge Liang's empty city plan in the romance - if that really happened, it must have been Sima Yi's situation in Wei at that time, so that he took the initiative to let Zhuge Liang go out of consideration of factors outside the battlefield, and can also imagine how arrogant and aggrieved Sima Yi was at that time?
What is arrogant is that he actually dared to retreat directly with the reason of "I think there is an ambush here", without worrying about Cao Wei's reproach, and he was aggrieved...... Zhuge Liang took advantage of the fact that he had to let go of his psychology, and let him play a fool once.
Of course, even if he knew that Zhou Yu was acting, Bai Tu would still be non-stop - after all, Zhou Yu couldn't act so fake, and sooner or later he would still find out and pursue him.
According to Lu Su's previous plan, Bai Tu and his party made a detour to the east, preparing to cross the river from Liyang in Jiujiang County and return to Moling.
Before leaving, Bai Tu also used the official seal to contact his father-in-law Lu Bu, as well as Gan Ning and Chen Gong, who were "bluffing" in the Moling area.
Indeed, when Bai Tu left for a day and a half, that is, after Sun Ce stupidly built a cloud ladder and rushed the car for a day, Zhou Yu still couldn't go on and launched an attack, and then ...... directly broke the city and occupied Shucheng, which had not been under for two years.
"Gong Jin, a wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there will be a mistake, so don't care too much about ......"
"Hey, it's also to blame that I didn't stick to my opinion."
"But the ending is good, we didn't lose a lot of manpower."
"And even if the old man knows each other, the treasury has been sealed, although this Lujiang does not have our share, but the treasury in the city is emptied, and no one will say anything if I think ......"
"Don't blame yourself, Bai Tu and Lu Kang ran away, as for Ziyi...... There will be a chance to fight in the future! ”
In the face of Sun Ce's comfort, Zhou Yu became more and more depressed - he actually fell to the point where he needed Sun Ce to comfort him with "A wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake"?
"The top priority is to appease the people of Shucheng, and intercept Bai Tu and others as soon as possible, I have already sent someone to inform Liu Xun of Anhui County." Zhou Yu said.
In fact, Zhou Yu already knew that Bai Tu should be detouring to Jiujiang now and wanted to leave from Liyang.
When he received Lu Su's letter before, Zhou Yu was very distressed - he was distressed that Lu Su actually voted for a white picture!
But as Lu Su said, Zhou Yu now needs Bai Tu to return to Jiangdong, so he was willing to accompany him to play this empty city plan before.
And now he is pretending, thinking that Bai Tu will return to Yuzhang from Anhui County by the same way......
It's just that Zhou Yu and Lu Su are all wise men in the world, but ...... Since ancient times, people's hearts are the most unpredictable, and when their opponents are no longer simply "victorious" for the purpose, their planning will also deviate!
For example, now, Zhou Yu and Lu Su did not expect that Liu Xun from Anhui County was taking people down the river and going straight to Jiujiang Liyang at this time......
After Bai Tu appeared in Shucheng, and Lu Bu used a ranger to disturb the grain route between Anhui County and Shucheng battlefields, Yuan Shu's men basically understood that Chen Gong and Gan Ning's provocation on the Yangtze River was just a bluff, and the other party's purpose was only to rescue Shucheng.
After all, the troops that established Jiangdong at the beginning of the white map, even if they barely crossed the river, it was impossible to stand at all, so what was the use of just laying Liyang?
Yuan Shu is in Shouchun in Jiujiang, there are at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Liyang can be taken back at any time, and Bai Tu does not have the strength to directly smash Huanglong, and even Yuan Shu wishes that he would cross the river to die.
However, when Liu Xun, who was sitting in Anhui City, heard that Sun Ce had captured Shucheng, which he had not set foot in for more than a year, but was escaped by Lu Kang and Bai Tu, he immediately chose to raise troops to march east......
It's not because Liu Xun wittily realized the retreat route that Lu Su chose, but because he just wanted to see Sun Ce's jokes now!
At this time, he was already annoyed in his heart, Bai Tu and Lu Kang and those people looked down on him - he was the second general in Huainan and the Taishou of Lujiang, but he couldn't attack Shucheng for a long time, and he didn't see Bai Tu and was anxious, and Sun Ce just left...... Bai Tu actually went to the rescue, and even Lu Kang's old man fled without a fight!
Since that's the case, he just wants to see Sun Ce's jokes - aren't you amazing? Haven't you been escaped by Bai Tu and Lu Kang?
What the? Why didn't I block them in the area of Anhui County?
I'm sorry, I, Liu Xun, am loyal and righteous, and I only have the lord in my heart - I know that after Jiangdong's naval army attacked Jiujiang, of course I immediately went to "rescue"!
As for blocking Bai Tu, Lu Kang or something, it's your Sun Ce's business.
However...... When Liu Xun's movements were transmitted back to Shucheng and known to Zhou Yu, the latter's face turned green!
Is there still such an operation?
"Go quickly, inform Bo Fu to return to the city immediately!" Zhou Yu hurriedly ordered.
After Sun Ce came back, he complained that he had not found any traces of Bai Tu and the others escaping, and after seeing Zhou Yu's surprisingly serious face, he asked patiently: "Gong Jin, what's wrong?" ”
"I may have been on the white map before......"
"It's okay! Didn't I tell you not to think about it? The so-called wise man thinks a thousand things......"
"I'm not talking about running away from the city! It's because I found that I didn't know enough about them before, and I didn't know much about them...... I just learned that Lu Zijing, who I mentioned to you last year, has now also defected to Bai Tu, if Zi Jing is plotting, Bai Tu and Lu Kang's escape route is likely to be a detour to the east.
It seems to be in danger, but in fact, it is where the life gate is, especially now in the Moling area, there are Jiangdong sailors gathered, as long as the port of Liyang County is broken, they will be able to return to Jiangdong from Liyang! Zhou Yu interrupted.
After hearing this, Sun Ce said with a shocked face: "I see, they are so smart!" ”
"So...... Let's go to Liyang now. Zhou Yu couldn't help but complain.
"Huh? Since I want to chase them, then I can simply take a team of cavalry, there are not many of them anyway. Gong Jin, you better stay and sit in Shucheng. Sun Ce said.
"No, anyway, Shucheng can't fall into our hands, and ...... I'm afraid that you will be fooled by them, so I will ride with you and rush over! Zhou Yu said.
Of course, in fact, Zhou Yu's idea was that if Liu Xun didn't happen to block Bai Tu, he couldn't really pursue it, and if Bai Tu and they were unlucky enough to be blocked by Liu Xun, it would depend on the situation - whether to secretly help Bai Tu escape, or to take a step ahead of Liu Xun and capture Bai Tu first!
Even Zhou Yu was already thinking about whether to rush directly through Liyang, go to Jiangdong, and completely turn his face with Yuan Shu.
After all, once Bai Tu was left behind, Jiangdong would be just his own backyard for Yuan Shu......
