Three Kingdoms: Starting from zero, a wealthy party

Chapter 158 Xu Du Was Attacked
Zhang Zhao's words awakened Sun Ce, and he said thoughtfully, "According to my uncle, what is the meaning of Liu Zhang's move?"

"From the old minister's point of view, the troops in Wancheng are not those under Liu Zhang's command, but probably Han Yang's Xiliang army."

Sun Ce's eyes widened, and he asked, "Why did Master Uncle say that?"

"At that time, Wancheng was empty, and Han Yang's army could have easily occupied it, but this was a small cavalry force, and it would not last long after occupying the city. What's more, Xiliang Mountain was far away from the emperor, and it was too far away from Jingzhou. Han Yang The army cannot support in time, so Wancheng is of little significance to them."

Zhang Zhao's words relieved Sun Ce's depressed mood. Han Yang didn't want Wancheng, and it would be a matter of time before he fell into Cao Cao's hands.

I'm afraid Cao Cao didn't expect Wancheng to come so easily, thanks to Liu Zhang's blessing.

Zhou Yu said at this time: "My lord, I have a bold guess. I suspect that Liu Zhang and Cao Cao have already cooperated. Otherwise, how could Cao Cao know that all the troops in Wancheng went to reinforce and turned into an empty city?"

"Gongjin, your guess is not unreasonable, so what should I do now, I can't be hung by them all the time."

Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know what to do next.

Sun Ce looked at them with anger on his face, is he going to suffer from being dumb this time?
Suddenly he looked up and shouted, "Who is eavesdropping on the roof?"

Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao were frightened by his sudden shout. When they came back to their senses, Zhou Yu drew out his sword and stood in front of Zhang Zhao.

Sun Ce took the lead and was about to rush out of the room.The moment he arrived at the door, a cold arrow shot at him from the door, Sun Ce turned over to hide, and chased after he went out.

Zhou Yu waited in the room for a while, and after confirming that the assassin was not there, he ordered the soldiers outside to protect Zhang Zhao's safety, while he led the soldiers to look for the assassin.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Sun Ce had already returned. He dispersed the army, leaving Zhou Yu alone, and said, "Don't chase after me, the assassins are extremely tricky. It seems that they have received professional training, but I don't know who they are." subordinate."

"More importantly, after I chased him out, he disappeared without a trace. It seems that he has been lying in ambush in this city for several days, and he knows the terrain here very well."

Zhou Yu panicked when he heard these words. He didn't expect that he would be placed in such a deep place of the Jiangdong Army. It was incredible and frightening.

He stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "From tomorrow onwards, I will strictly check and check everyone's information, and strive to catch these hidden assassins as soon as possible."

"It's enough if you have the heart, go in first and see if the uncle is injured."

When they got to the house, Zhang Zhao took out the sniper arrow and showed them, "My lord, the assassin didn't want to kill you, but sent you a letter."

Sun Ce took a closer look, and there was indeed a note tied to the end of the arrow. He stepped forward to take it off, opened it and looked carefully.

After reading it, they laughed out loud. Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were a little confused. They didn't understand why Sun Ce acted like this. "Gong Jin, please read this note too. It's my turn to act."

Zhou Yu had made a note, and the note only said a short sentence. There was no guard in Xudu City, so it was a good opportunity for a sneak attack.

Zhang Zhao also saw the message on the note, and he knelt down to persuade him, "My lord must not do it. I don't know the source of this note. If I fall into Cao Cao's tricks, my lord may lose my life."

Sun Ce stepped forward, helped Zhang Zhao up, and said, "Uncle, I think the person who wrote this note should be Han Yang. Now that the strength of Luoyang City has been increased, he was restrained by Cao Cao, so he chose to use it." This method seeks my help, and we now have a common enemy, Cao Cao, who has no reason to harm me."

"Zhou Yu listened to the order, and I ordered you to lead five thousand soldiers to rush to Xudu in the starry night, beat me hard, and evacuate quickly after the beating, don't love to fight."

"The last will obey."

After Zhou Yu left, Sun Ce sat back on the chair, wondering what he was thinking.

The next day, Cao Cao was receiving the soldiers in Wancheng, but news came from Xudu that Zhou Yu led five thousand Jiangdong troops to attack Xudu in the dark, and all the soldiers in the city were killed.

After Zang Ba's army in Yangzhou knew about it, he quickly led the soldiers to fight back, but Zhou Yu's troops withdrew very quickly, Zang Ba missed it, and the boundary of Yangzhou returned to Sun Ce's hands.

After Cao Cao heard this, he had a headache again, and hurriedly ordered someone to take him back to Xudu.

The city of Xudu is now desolate. When Zhou Yu left, he ordered the soldiers to set a fire, which was regarded as the last gift for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at the ruined walls and laughed loudly. Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao and asked puzzledly, "Prime Minister, Xu Capital City is like this, why are you still smiling so happily?"

Cao Cao stopped smiling and said, "I am laughing at Sun Ce's stupidity and Liu Zhang's stupidity. Now it seems that Han Yang is the only one who can be called an opponent in this world."

Cheng Yu was puzzled and asked, "What does the lord mean..."

"That's right, it's exactly what you think. All these series of things were done by Han Yang, but we were misled by other things and ended up in this situation."

"Han Yang first sent people to attack Luoyang. We were all deceived by Liu Xie, thinking it was Liu Zhang who did it. Let me just say, he has no such brains, an old man."

"Xun Yu was also deceived by him, and Liu Zhang was even more of a fool. He played for Han Yang in vain, without gaining any benefits."

"And Sun Ce and I were also plotted by Han Yang, and we didn't realize it until now."

"Prime Minister, I still don't understand the humble position, I hope the Prime Minister will make it clear."

"It's very simple. Liu Zhang was frightened by the incident in Luoyang and tied Xun Yu, but in the end, everyone believed that he was the one who attacked Luoyang. In order to get rid of the suspicion and continue to cooperate with me, he chose to lead his troops to attack Jingzhou. Yiling."

"Yiling has only [-] defenders. How can it withstand the fully prepared Jizhou army? Ling Cao can only borrow troops from other places in Jingzhou. The Xiliang army who attacked Luoyang must have taken advantage of this time to attack again. Wancheng."

"But they had no way to occupy it. They had no choice but to give up and gave the city to me. I was very happy at the time, but I was afraid of Sun Ce's counterattack, so I took all the troops in the city to Wancheng for support. I didn't expect that the news would be known by Sun Ce. That’s why there was news about Zhou Yu’s army attacking Xu Du last night.”

After Cheng Yu heard this, his back turned cold, Han Yang actually had such a deep city, and the layout was so ingenious, one link after another, and everyone in the world was counted, and this is the way he is now.
