Chapter 317 Zhou Yu's planned retreat
Chapter 317, Zhou Yu’s planned retreat
Hand over your sister and spare your life.
When Sun Ce heard this, he was immediately furious. He slapped the table and stood up. His face turned red and veins popped out on his forehead.
He is not his younger brother known as "Sun Shiwan", and he doesn't know how to be patient.
Sun Ce's character is just like his father's, hot-blooded, strong-willed, and can't stand bullying. Although he lives a new life, some things will not change easily.
Zhou Yu was also a little indignant. Even though he was as wise as he was, he still couldn't figure out why Liu Bei, who had never been a womanizer, would target the young girl of the Sun family.
In the end, it can only be attributed to Liu Bei's deliberate humiliation in order to anger Sun Ce and make him make wrong decisions.
So he advised: "Bo Fu, if you get angry, you will really follow Liu Bei's wishes."
Sun Ce was stunned, and then realized that Zhou Yu didn't know the inside story, and it was understandable that he would think that this was Liu Bei's way of provoking the generals. But he knew full well that Liu Bei really wanted to marry Xiao Xiangxiang, because this happened before
The other party has done this before.
He was reborn, and so was Liu Bei.
Because he knew that once he surrendered, his younger sister would have to marry this man who was thirty years older than her, which he could not accept.
"Come here, let Sun Yi and Han Dang come to see me."
"What is there overseas that would make Guo Fengxiao willing to give up this bright future and let Cao Mengde lead hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to travel far away?"
Because Liu Bei always holds the initiative in the war, with the advantages of territory, population, and logistics, the gap between them will only become smaller and smaller.
Even if Guo Jia can't help it, you can't take back your Da Qiao and my Xiao Qiao, because we are simply unable to fight against Liu Bei.
Wait for Liu Bei to reveal his flaw and deliver a fatal blow.
Sun Ce was silent. Although his soul had been wandering between heaven and earth in his previous life, it was only limited to the Central Plains and he had never understood anything overseas.
Not to mention advancing into the Central Plains, considering the current world situation, it is already very remarkable to be able to settle down in a corner.
Although Cao Cao still has 200,000 elite troops, facing such artifacts, defeat is only a matter of time.
The worst outcome is death.
This is what Zhou Yu wants to say, or in other words, this is the escape route he has left for the Sun family and himself.
Zhou Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "This matter should be close to home. When Liu Bei attacked Yanzhou and Xuzhou, he encountered almost no decent resistance. Moreover, almost all of Cao Cao's important officials have disappeared."
"I will never surrender to Liu Bei!"
It is undeniable that Liu Bei in this life is more powerful than Cao Cao.
Zhou Yu wondered: "Why not Zhongmou?"
This was more or less influenced by Guo Jia and Cao Cao. In the past, with the pride of him and Sun Ce, they would have just ended their lives after failure.
They only have one chance.
"Guo Fengxiao can go, Cao Mengde can go, so why can't we go?"
Zhou Yu did not expect that he would accept this proposal so easily, and thought that this staunch brother would not accept the idea of escaping far away from the country.
Because at least Cao Cao had not captured Yizhou at that time, and Xiliang was still under the control of Ma Teng and Han Sui.
"We have the Yangtze River natural chasm, and most of Liu Bei's elite troops are northern metro cavalry. After entering the Yangtze River, their combat strength is reduced, but they are not without the ability to fight." This was Zhou Yu's answer.
Sun Ce took a breath and changed the subject: "How about it? Has it been confirmed that Cao Cao left overseas?"
Apart from him, many people want to know the answer to this question. Since Cao Cao's defeat, Liu Bei has occupied almost 70% to 80% of the world.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu's heart felt a little stinging. For some reason, even though he had never seen that woman, he always felt the pain of being snatched away from his love.
Sun Ce suddenly asked: "Gong Jin, do you think we can win this battle?"
Sun Ce's reaction was as expected by Zhou Yu, so he continued: "All the way south from Jiangdong is Jiaozhou, and further south from Jiaozhou, there seem to be other countries. From this, it can be seen that there may be another world overseas."
But, will Liu Bei give them this opportunity?
Zhou Yu was not sure, but the fighting spirit in his heart was still not extinguished. For what he had learned in his heart, and for Xiao Qiao. Hey, no, Xiao Qiao had already left with Guo Jia.
Sun Quan's martial arts and military leadership may not be as good as his elder brother Sun Ce, but his political and mental skills are better than Sun Ce's. It can be said that he is a born Machiavellian.
Sun Ce refused without thinking.
It was really difficult for him to answer this question from his brother.
Sun Ce obviously thought of the same problem and said angrily: "What's so hateful is that Guo Fengxiao has gone overseas."
Both of them knew in their hearts that Xiao Xiangxiang was indeed married to Liu Bei in her previous life.
Although he found out the enemy's flaws and his own advantages, he still didn't dare to make a guarantee.
"Actually, I've been thinking about a question these days." Zhou Yu suddenly raised his head and said.
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "This is no longer a question of whether he is willing. Liu Bei is powerful and invincible."
Sun Ce sneered and said: "Zhongmou has a deep mind, do you think he is suitable?"
While he was overjoyed, Sun Ce's choice surprised him.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something!
"Gong Jin, do you really want to?"
But Sun Ce disagreed. As an upright man, he would never use his biological sister as a bargaining chip for marriage, let alone beg Liu Bei for mercy.
When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help but think of the scenes of war and smoke in Wancheng and Nanyang. Under the wave of gunpowder offensive, the whole city was already crumbling.
"What's the problem?"
Looking at it this way, Cao Cao's decision to go overseas seems to be a wise decision.
He knew that this was not in line with the way the princes behaved, but that was the way the men of the Sun family were. Sun Shiwan was not included, he was a different kind.
After hearing this, Sun Ce fell into deep thought for a long time, and then said after a long time: "You are right, if you can restart your dominance overseas, it will not be a total failure."
"good!"
Da Qiao!!!
Zhou Yu said seriously: "It's not that I don't want to fight, but we must be prepared for defeat. If we lose this battle, will we commit suicide or surrender to Liu Bei?"
Zhou Yu was silent. There was something in his heart but he couldn't say it out loud, otherwise it would hurt his brother's face.
But after learning about what happened overseas, he was a little reluctant to die and wanted to see the scenery overseas.
Sun Ce frowned: "Is he really willing to give up the world?"
The assassination of him in his previous life was very strange. In addition to his enemies, there was probably an internal traitor involved.
When we think about the fact that Sun Yi, his third brother, prepared to assassinate Sun Quan on the way to his post after he inherited Jiangdong's great cause, Sun Quan's suspicion becomes even greater.
Sun Ce didn't have a definite answer, but it was hard not to doubt his ambitious brother.
However, because there was no evidence, he adopted a "laissez-faire" attitude and waited to see what would happen.
