Zhou Yu nodded heavily and said to Sun Ce: "That's right, it's Liu Bei."

"Didn't you form an alliance with Liu Biao? Why are you related to Liu Bei again?" Sun Ce asked.

Zhou Yu explained: "In fact, the person who led to this alliance was Liu Bei. Liu Bei is now the governor of Jingnan under Liu Biao's tent and the governor of the four counties of Jingnan. He also holds some soldiers in his hand. Among them, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all invincible, and Huang Zhong is a veteran on the battlefield. The strength of his army is no less than that of Liu Biao's direct troops. Compared with Liu Biao, who was a self-restrained person, Liu Bei is a man with great ambitions. From the letter he wrote to me, he is not

It is hard to see that Liu Bei really wanted to take this opportunity to do something, but unfortunately he did not encounter a good opportunity. Moreover, I have also investigated Liu Bei. He gradually showed his head and feet in the quelling of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but later he was unlucky and had no power. He wandered around the country until he arrived in Jingzhou and gained great contributions in suppressing Zhang Xian's rebellion. He was appointed as the governor of Jingnan by Liu Biao, and since then he gradually gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou..."

Sun Ce listened to Zhou Yu's story patiently. After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he asked: "It was Liu Biao who formed an alliance, not Liu Bei. Besides, Liu Bei is just the governor of Jingnan under Liu Biao's account. In terms of strength, status, and reputation, they are not as good as Liu Biao. What are the benefits of forming an alliance with him?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Lord, although Liu Bei is a man with great talent, he has not encountered any good opportunities. He has gathered many military generals and is a hero of the world. Although Liu Bei has many talents, he lacks a wise man who can really plan. Once our two armies form an alliance, the two armies will become one, and our military strength will be greatly increased. In addition, my strategy will be enough to compete with Zhang Yan."

Sun Ce was silent for a moment and said, "Gongjin, how can you guarantee that after I form an alliance with Liu Bei, Liu Bei will obey our orders?"

Zhou Yu said: "I have my own tricks, but..."

"It's just something? You and my brothers are using to stammer, but it's okay!" Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "It's just that the lord may need to sacrifice one person!"

"Who?" Sun Ce asked hurriedly.

"My lord's sister!"

"Shang Xiang?" Sun Ce was surprised and asked immediately: "Gongjin, what do you want to do?"

"I have asked someone to inquire about it. Liu Bei has a wife, Gan, but he has never given birth to children. In other words, Liu Bei has no children at present. The lord's sister is the 28th beauty. It would be better to marry her to Liu Bei. In this way, Liu Bei will become the lord's brother-in-law, and naturally he should obey his lord's orders." Zhou Yu said.

After hearing this, Sun Ce frowned, his eyes flashed with strange light, and he asked, "Gongjin, how old is Liu Bei this year?"

Zhou Yu replied: "This year, it's just over forty years old!"

"Forty years old?" Sun Ce was surprised after hearing this and immediately shouted, "Liu Bei is older than me, he is already a bad old man. Shang Xiang is only sixteen years old. In his youth, you asked me to marry Shang Xiang to Liu Bei, the bad old man? Can you think of this strategy?"

Zhou Yu was scolded by Sun Ce and opened his mouth and explained: "Lord, listen to me..."

"Don't say anything! I know what you want to say! It's okay to form an alliance with Liu Bei, but I will never agree to marry Shang Xiang to this bad old man Liu Bei!" Sun Ce said firmly.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu knew that he could not make any sense with Sun Ce, so he stopped talking and gave up. Then he said to Sun Ce: "Since the lord agrees to form an alliance with Liu Bei, then I will start to deal with the alliance with Liu Bei."

Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled Zhou Yu to leave. At the same time, he agreed to form an alliance with Liu Bei, but he was very dissatisfied with the bad idea that Zhou Yu came up with. Although he was full of anger, he could not send it to Zhou Yu.

After Zhou Yu left, Sun Ce let out a hysterical cry and exclaimed all the anger in his heart.

It was noon, and Sun Ce asked all the soldiers to disband and train again in the afternoon. He rode his horse aimlessly and walked in the city. He was upset and did not let anyone follow him. He rode alone, and soon rode out of Nanchang City.

Sun Ce rode forward for four or five miles, and then realized that he was a little far from Nanchang City, so he turned his horse's head and walked back.

Suddenly, four or five sharp arrows shot out from all directions at the same time and flew quickly towards Sun Ce on the horse's back.

Sun Ce realized the danger and immediately came to hide in a stirrup, and several arrows flew quickly over his head.

At this moment, an arrow shot out again from the grass on the side of the road and flew towards Sun Ce without any hesitation. By the time Sun Ce wanted to hide, it was too late. He felt a chill coming from the top, and the sharp arrow shot directly into the flesh, and blood was flowing from the top.

Although Sun Ce was shot, he did not shout. He endured the pain in his legs and turned over and rode on the horse. At the same time, he noticed that twenty or thirty black-clad killers rushed out from all directions, holding bows and arrows, and shooting at him in a mess.

Seeing that the situation was not good, and he did not carry weapons with him, Sun Ce could only press his body tightly against the horse's back, shouted loudly, and urged the horses under his seat to run forward. With a flash of effort, he threw the twenty or thirty black-clad killers far away.

Sun Ce left after a long time. The men in black were walking forward and wanted to chase, but heard someone shouting, "No need to chase!"

Everyone stopped and gathered next to a burly and strong man in black, unbuttoned the veils covered on his face, revealing his true face.

The man in the leader had a strong face and fierce look. He was neither someone else, but Zhou Tai, the general of Hengjiang, the Han Dynasty.

Zhou Tai glanced at Sun Ce who was leaving, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He ordered his subordinates with satisfaction: "Retreat!"

Zhou Tai was sent by Chen Deng to assassinate Sun Ce with dozens of people who were good at shooting archers. They had been lurking in this area for a long time and also figured out Sun Ce's trajectory. In the past, Sun Ce would come here to walk his horses, but every time he brought a group of entourage, which made Zhou Tai and others unable to start, and were afraid that he would be killed by Sun Ce before he could kill Sun Ce.

But today, maybe it was God who was secretly helping him, Sun Ce came, and he was riding alone, without a follower.

Zhou Tai could no longer control his inner excitement and directly ordered Sun Ce to be shot and killed.

However, Sun Ce was also very powerful. Faced with the sudden assassination, he was only shot by an arrow, which was indeed amazing.

However, Sun Ce didn't know that in order to achieve one-hit kill, Zhou Tai specially quenched the arrow with a strong poison. As long as he was infected with a little bit, he would be poisoned and died of death soon.

Therefore, Zhou Tai was not worried that Sun Ce would run away because he saw Sun Ce with his own eyes, which was enough to kill Sun Ce's surname.

Zhou Tai and others evacuated here and retreated as quickly as possible. At this moment, Sun Ce, who was riding on the horse, gradually felt a little uncomfortable. His eyes were a little blurry, he could not see clearly, and his limbs had no strength. He was so energetic that he rode all the way to the gate of Nanchang City. He could no longer hold on. He felt his body light and fell directly from the horse's back.

"Master!"

When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw it, they rushed up, lifted Sun Ce, and hurriedly sent it to the government office.

Zhou Yu was writing a letter to Liu Bei in the government office. Suddenly, he heard a noise outside, so he hurried out to see what happened. Who knew that everyone had just carried Sun Ce back. He noticed that Sun Ce was shot on the outside of his legs, and blood was still gushing out from the wound.

Zhou Yu was stunned. Seeing that Sun Ce was unconscious, he hurriedly began to arrange things, and someone carried Sun Ce into the room, and then ordered: "Go and find a doctor!"

After a while, the doctor came over in panic. Seeing that Sun Ce was not awake, he looked carefully at the wound outside Sun Ce and then found that the blood flowing out of the wound was black.

"It's poisonous!" The doctor made a quick decision and immediately launched a rescue. He ordered people to cut off part of the arrow first, leaving only an arrow. The doctor asked someone to wrap it in cloth and pulled it off. After sprinkling the golden medicine, he temporarily stopped the blood flowing from the wound.

Afterwards, the doctor took Sun Ce's pulse, while Zhou Yu and others were anxiously waiting by the side.

"Doctor, what's going on with the lord? What kind of poison is in his body?" Zhou Yu asked anxiously.

After the doctor finished taking the pulse, he sighed first, then shook his head, and then said: "I have been practicing medicine all my life and have never foreseeed such a thing. The arrow is poisonous and it is very poisonous. After the lord was poisoned, he did vigorous exercise, which led to the poisonous gas attacking the heart. Now the toxin has spread to the lord's body. Even if the Daluo god descended to earth, he may not be able to save him! You should prepare for the funeral in advance!"

After hearing what the doctor said, Zhou Yu and others hurriedly asked: "Doctor, is the lord really not saved?"

"Anyway, I can't save him. I have never seen or heard of the poison he was infected with. Even if I have to install an antidote, it will take ten days and half a month. However, the lord has not much time left, only about two days."

Zhou Yu looked disappointed. After seeing the doctor away, he immediately ordered the soldiers to go out of the city to search and ordered the assassin to be caught.

Afterwards, Zhou Yu paced in Sun Ce's room, always paying attention to Sun Ce's every move. After a moment, Zhou Yu ordered someone to go to Nancheng to invite Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan to come over to see Sun Ce's last time.

After that, Zhou Yu kept staying in Sun Ce's room. Faced with this sudden situation, Zhou Yu was also extremely troubled. If he had one link that didn't handle the matter well, the whole of Jiangdong would fall into chaos.
