Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Liu Yao hesitated again and again, but finally handed the secret letter to Liu Biao.

If for no other reason, to hold on to the south, at least now Sun Ce is nominally the general of the new Han Dynasty. Without a decent reason, he would not stop his invasion of Yangzhou.

Liu Yao could at least keep the three counties in his hands.

Yangzhou is extremely wealthy. The annual tax revenue generated by the three counties here almost exceeds that of most provincial capitals in the north.

Furthermore, even if he surrendered, Cao Cao would most likely not allow him to have the real power to guard a region. At most, he would be given an idle position like Guanglu Dafu and die in Chang'an.

Having been used to the life of a local tyrant, he finds it hard to adapt to living under someone else's roof.

In the big account,

The letter was circulated.

Liu Biao was the first to express his own opinion: "When the two places are at war, we should not kill the envoys, for fear that they would spy on the military situation. After the formal ceremony, we should expel them as soon as possible."

"Here."

Sun Ce unfolded the letter, took a look at it, and handed it to Zhou Yu beside him.

As for Liu Biao's opinions, he simply ignored them.

This guy is too bookish and pedantic to the core.

It's already this late and you're still being so picky.

Apart from anything else, if the Wei people's messengers who were carrying letters of rebellion were released safely, it would only further fuel the arrogance of the Wei people.

Who knows whose central military tent the next time the courier appears.

Liu Yao was lucky that he did not rebel today. If someone really defected to the enemy in the future, that would be a lot of trouble.

"and many more!"

Zhou Yu closed the letter, stopped Liu Yao, closed his eyes and thought for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, a plan gradually took shape in his mind.

"Who is Lord Zhengli? Are the envoys from Wei still in the tent?"

"That's right. I placed the two of them in the West Camp and ordered them to be kept under strict control. Without my order, they are not allowed to step out of the tent."

"There is no need to go to such trouble. Lord Zhengli can go back and appease them with kind words, and then release the two from house arrest. All we need to do is send someone to secretly monitor them and keep them informed at all times."

"Why?"

"No need to ask more questions. Whether or not we can defeat King Jin depends on these two. You just need to do as you are told."

Although Liu Yao was unhappy with Zhou Yu's commanding tone, he still nodded and agreed.

As an enemy who once made him unable to sleep or eat, he knew very well how terrifying this heroic man was.

"Bofu, call your most trusted general to our camp later."

"What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"

"The method is not passed on to others. Once it is told to you, it will not work. Once the three-day period is over, you will naturally know the secret."

Sun Ce couldn't persuade him, so he had to let it go.

That night, Huang Gai entered Zhou Yu's military tent and talked for a long time.

The next day,

Lu Su and Wei Yan were playing chess in the camp when they saw Liu Yao come in. After a while of sweating and feeling slightly warm, he immediately lifted the two of them from their confinement and left in a hurry.

This left Wei Yan completely confused.

"Mr. Zijing, the soldiers outside have really withdrawn. What is Liu Yao up to now?"

Lu Su stood up and dusted himself off: "Let's go out for a walk."

"Ah? Isn't this Liu Yao testing us? He was still the same yesterday. He shouldn't have changed so quickly."

"The director also said, 'yesterday', it's already been a night, we should have discussed everything that needed to be discussed. If we don't leave, this drama won't go on."

"It's no wonder that Ma Mengqi doesn't like to make friends with scholars. You guys talk in a roundabout way, which is really tiring to listen to."

Lu Su stumbled.

Are the words of these arrogant and brave generals who have served under Zhang Wu so offensive?

However, Wei Yan was a very hard person to dislike, so Lu Su explained with the intention of giving him some advice:

"They withdrew their guards to ask us to cooperate. If we had stayed in the tent, how could we have been deceived?"

"Could it be that Liu Yao had decided to surrender and therefore withdrew his defenses?"

Lu Su smiled disdainfully: "Liu Yao is cautious and cautious. Even if he wants to surrender, he should have discussed the benefits and costs before giving us some sweet treats."

As they were talking, a man sneaked into Liu Yao's tent from a distance.

After a short while, the soldiers outside the tent also withdrew.

Lu Su smiled and said, "Wen Chang, go and listen to the wall."

"what?"

"Come closer and listen carefully. Don't miss a word."

"Okay, I won't ask any more questions." Wei Yan quickly jumped out of the tent, carefully leaning on the flag outside the tent to listen. He looked around from time to time, fearing that he would be discovered.

The two of them were talking in private in the tent.

I couldn't hear the details clearly, and occasionally I heard the words "surrender to Cao" and "benefits".

After a while, footsteps were heard, and Wei Yan rushed back to Lu Su like a thief.

The big tent was opened.

An old veteran who was nearly sixty years old came out and was obviously stunned when he looked at Lu Su and Wei Yan in the distance, and then he clasped his fists as if subconsciously.

Wei Yan was now even more embarrassed and almost buried his head in the ground.

"Did you hear what was said?"

"No, I just heard that the two of them seemed to be discussing surrender."

That's right. The more realistic the fake play is, the more skilled the person behind it is. Otherwise, if it's too fake, people will see through it at a glance. Lu Su should suspect that others have figured out his purpose and therefore come to test him.

"Okay, keep turning."

"Ah? Still spinning? Let's go back."

Lu Su didn't give Wei Yan the full idea because he wanted him to be cautious and embarrassed.

It's very real.

If Lu Su had gone there in person, he would have been afraid that he would not be able to hold back his laughter.

The man who came up with the plan was an expert, and Lu Su was really afraid that he might not be able to pretend well enough and people would notice something.

At the same time, a secret sentry informed Zhou Yu of everything that happened here.

In front of the black and white chessboard, Zhou Yu was a little hesitant.

Everything was going too smoothly, which was unreasonable.

Moreover, the person who came was Lu Zijing, who was not so easy to deceive.
