Chapter 31: Zhou Lang decides to take Lujiang
When Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu talk about the past, he gritted his teeth and said: "What Gong Jin said is that this man took over the Lujiang County that originally belonged to me in the past. Naturally, I care about him very much, and I try to harm him every day."
.However, I don’t know how to take advantage of this weakness, so I would like to ask Gong Jin to explain it in detail."
Zhou Yu said very elegantly: "Bo Fu, with your current status and power compared to Liu Xun, you are in the sky and on the earth. Why should you be angry with such a dying person?"
"That's what Gong Jin said"
"Now we can continue to use sugar-coated bullets to confuse him. First, we send people to visit Liu Xun with a large number of rare treasures and your handwritten letters to show him weakness, and then let the envoys use sweet words to make him relax.
Our vigilance will finally be given
To lure Liu Xun's fate, you can ask the envoy to tell him that Shangxiao is so rich that he can rival the country. Show the benefits first to whet Liu Xun's appetite. Then tell him that he is not strong enough to defeat Shangxiao, and that Shangxiao has sent troops to harass him many times.
But he was helpless, so he begged Governor Liu to send troops to conquer.
After he no longer has any scruples about us, Liu Xun will definitely be willing to send troops to Shangliao to seize money and food. When the time comes, Lujiang County will be empty of troops, won't it be easy for Bo Fu to capture Lujiang County?"
After listening carefully to Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce said in his heart that if he really made progress in the direction of Zhou Yu's plan, success would be just around the corner. Sun Ce couldn't help but be overjoyed for a moment, patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Gong Jin is indeed the wisest man in Jiangdong, Luoshi.
A small plan can make Liu Xun the dog thief cornered, so why worry about accomplishing his great cause with you?"
Facing Sun Ce's praise, Zhou Yu still just smiled elegantly and continued:
"If Liu Xun sent troops to find Shangliao but found it to be an empty city with nothing at all, and at the same time found that his hometown was occupied by us, even a fool would know that he had been tricked, and he would definitely be furious when the time comes.
Raise the troops and return. But the army
Running back and forth will definitely be exhausted and the combat effectiveness will be weakened. However, we should watch the opportunity and not give Liu Xun any chance to buffer. We should immediately send a general to lead an army to intercept and ambush Liu Xun. When the time comes, we will be able to catch Liu Xun off guard. In this way, Lujiang can be determined. Liu Xun
Can be destroyed.
Sun Ce was very excited: "Gong Jin, your plan is so perfect. I don't know how you got such a big head. You have thought so clearly before and after. This is a great plan, so just follow it."
If it was Liu Xun from the original time and space, then this strategy would undoubtedly be very successful. But this time Sun Ce was destined to be miserable because he met Liu Xun, who had the power of a prophet.
Sun Ce always acted vigorously and resolutely. Now that he had formulated a strategy, he naturally took action immediately.
Soon Liu Xun's mansion welcomed Sun Ce's envoy.
Liu Xun sat high in the main hall, with a look of arrogance on his face. Sun Ce's envoy handed the letter to Liu Xun's guards with a low eyebrow and presented a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and then retreated.
Xun unfolded the letter and took a brief look at it before giving it to his subordinates to read around.
After everyone had read it, Liu Xun asked proudly: "You have all read the letter, what do you think?"
As soon as Liu Xun finished speaking, an official with a deer-headed head stood up and complimented him: "My lord is so wise and powerful, how can this Sun Ce son be my lord's opponent? He must be afraid of my lord's power at this moment, so he is so respectful to my lord.
"
"That's right, that's right. My lord has 50,000 men with armor, fierce generals like clouds, and counselors like rain. And Sun Ce is just a kid with a bad mouth. How can he be compared with my lord?" Another person complimented.
"That's right. Sun Ce's son only temporarily conquered several counties in Jiangdong because he relied on his father's remaining power. In fact, he is vulnerable."
As the words of several people fell, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the scene was very lively.
Liu Xun looked at these villains who only know how to flatter people and wanted to chop them all into pieces. But now that he has to perform a full set of acting, Liu Xun could only suppress his dissatisfaction for the time being and write down these people who only know how to flatter people one by one.
In my heart, I will settle accounts with them in the future.
"My lord, my lord, you must not do it. Although Shangliao is small, its defense work is quite complete. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It cannot be captured in one or two days. Once the army leaves, the Lujiang River will be empty. I'm afraid there is a deliberate intention."
The disciples took advantage of the opportunity, but it will be too late to regret it by then. Please think again, my lord."
In the midst of the flattery, different voices appeared. Liu Xun didn't need to think about it to know that apart from Liu Ye, the only one with such insight now was Liu Panjin. Now Liu Panjin still expressed the correct opinion as he did in his previous life.
Although he knew that Liu Panjin's words were the truth, Liu Xun had to pretend that his interests came first and he would not listen to his advice. In order to frighten Sun Ce, he naturally had to pretend to have fallen into Sun Ce's trap. This was Liu Xun.
Xun's original plan was to take advantage of the situation. After all, Liu Xun didn't know if anyone present had been bribed by Sun Ce.
Liu Xun pretended to be angry and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense. Sun Bofu is a hero of the world. How could he do such a treacherous thing? I have made up my mind and the matter has been decided. I will send troops to attack Shangliao. If anyone is here,
If you dare to make suggestions, don’t blame me for being rude."
At this moment, Liu Panjin hesitated to speak, but finally gritted his teeth and said loudly:
"My lord, you must not..."
However, before Liu Panjin could finish speaking, Liu Xun was heard shouting: "You are so outrageous. It seems you are really a coward. Come on, put Liu Panjin in jail."
As Liu Xun finished speaking, several guards immediately walked in and dragged Liu Panjin down without saying a word.
"My lord, my lord, you must not do this..." Although Liu Panjin's hands were restrained by the guards, he still urged him loudly.
"Why don't you drag me on?" Liu Xun pretended to be furious.
Seeing that their lord was angry, the attendants naturally did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately quickened their pace and dragged Liu Panjin out.
Seeing Liu Panjin being dragged away, Liu Xun could only say silently: "I'm sorry."
At this moment, there was sudden silence in the hall, and he sighed silently:
"Alas, my lord's petty nature has occurred again..."
Seeing that no one in the whole hall interceded for Liu Panjin, Liu Xun suddenly felt sad. As expected, few of these people were loyal and good people. If any accident happened in the future, none of these people could be relied on.
Seeing that there was no longer any objection, Liu Xun sent someone to call Sun Ce's envoy. The envoy had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he heard Liu Xun's summons, he naturally hurried to the hall.
After the envoy saluted, Liu Xun said proudly: "Go back and tell Sun Boxu not to worry. It's just a mere Shangliao. I will send troops as promised. But now I don't have enough food and grass. I hope Sun Boxu can
Support me fifty thousand
A month's worth of food and fodder for a person. When I send troops to go to Lao, I hope to see him sending troops to attack Lao on time. Otherwise, don't blame me, Liu Xun, for turning his back on me. Today you go back and tell him that his food and grass are
I will send troops immediately upon arrival.
When the envoy saw that the matter had been accomplished, he was very happy and said humbly: "Thank you, Lord Prefect, for your help. I will go back and discuss it with the general in detail immediately, and I will report back to the Prefect soon."
Liu Xun waved his hand very proudly to indicate that he could retreat.
Chapter completed!
