"Actually, General Gan has already tested it back. We have predicted what we should know before. Now we are thinking about how to attack Liu Yu in a fire. I don't think there is anything else that needs to be discussed." Xu Shu looked at Zhou Yu and Sun Ce with a smile, as if he was watching the jokes between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

"Mr. Yuanzhi, how dare you ask if you have a plan?" Sun Ce's anger had already subsided. Now he needed a plan.

"I think what General Sun needs most now is to contact Cao Cao in Yuzhou, and the two sides agreed to deal with Liu Yu. I guess Cao Cao has not given a reply to the general yet. Isn't the general in a hurry? Another thing is that the general must send a navy army to harass Liu Jun in Jiangbei every day to gain more time for Jiangdong's preparations. Although it is useless, at least it can have more chances of winning." Xu Shu finally gave Sun Ce some good advice.

Xu Shu at least gave some good suggestions, but Sun Ce still gave Xu Shu a lot of face and said, "Thank you Yuanzhi for your good advice."

"I dare not do it for my duty. You and my family resist Liu Yu together, and I am just working for my lord." Xu Shu said with a smile.

Sun Ce felt as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly. Fortunately, he had always wanted to dig Xu Shu over, but he didn't expect that Xu Shu was my lord. Could it be that he was not as good as Liu Bei's straw sandals? A very loyal and capable wise man was taken first by Liu Bei. Sun Ce was very dissatisfied when he thought about this.

Sun Ce could not have known that Liu Bei had more generals and counselors in history than he is now, but he was taken first by a person with the same surname Liu. If he knew, Sun Ce would not have been dissatisfied. Unfortunately, Liu Bei was reduced to the point where Xu Shu and Wei Yan could take action, and some people were planning to dig out his corner.

Not only Sun Ce was unhappy, but even Zhou Yu was a little unhappy. Zhou Yu had been very good to Xu Shu during this period. The two often talked about scriptures and talked about the truth and enjoyed music. While getting along, Zhou Yu found that Xu Shu was very similar to him in many aspects and had a heroic spirit that ordinary literati did not have. Zhou Yu also learned about Xu Shu's anger and murder. To be fair, if Zhou Yu was in Xu Shu's situation, he would have killed people in order to draw his sword. Zhou Yu admired Xu Shu very much.

Xu Shu must have known his thoughts, but he has no intention of coming to Jiangdong. So Zhou Yu and Sun Ce don’t have to waste too much effort.

If Xu Shu didn't come to Jiangdong, Zhou Yu would have to find an opportunity to get rid of Xu Shu. But now is not the time to get rid of Xu Shu. The best time is to repel Liu Yu. After Zhou Yu was the first to kill Xu Shu, Liu Bei's strongest strategist and arm. Without Xu Shu, Liu Bei would definitely not be able to make any waves.

Xu Shu understood Sun Ce's intention from the bottom of his heart. Just from the past few days, Sun Ce would go to sit with Xu Shu whenever he had time. However, although Sun Ce was a wise ruler, Sun Ce already had a counselor like Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao around him, especially Zhou Yu, Sun Ce almost obeyed. Xu Shu believed that he was not the kind of person who liked autocracy, but he also hoped that his lord could obey his own words and realize his ambitions. On the contrary, Liu Bei was now considered a pure and innocent person, and among the princes, but this point could highlight the ability of Xu Shu who assisted Liu Bei in the future.

But Xu Shu always felt that Liu Bei was still a little risky here. But now if he violated morality and joined Sun Ce's command, Xu Shu could not do it. He first planned to do it, but Xu Shu still left a way out for himself. No one knows this, nor does he know what Xu Shu's way out is.

At present, Xu Shu still firmly followed Liu Bei to give advice for him.

"Two, if there is nothing else to do. If there is something else, I will take it back first." Xu Shu bowed and said.

Is there anything wrong? Is there anything else Xu Shu has to do in Chibi?

Zhou Yu asked in confusion: "I don't know what Yuan Zhi has to do, do you need our help?"

"There is a mountain in this Red Cliff. I think the scenery is good. I plan to go over and enjoy the scenery. I have time and have prepared some delicious side dishes and wines. Why not take a break from my busy schedule to relax." Xu Shu looked at Zhou Yu and Sun Ce very sincerely.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce feel like they were defeated by Xu Shu. When has it been, you are in the mood to enjoy the scenery.

"It is really rare for me to have such a good mood. I am busy with military affairs, so I will not disturb my good mood." Sun Ce directly declined Xu Shu's proposal.

Xu Shu said with a smile: "That's a pity. I originally wanted to talk to you about life and ideals. It seems that I will talk about it next time I have the chance."

If it were before, Sun Ce might have had a good chat with Xu Shu. But after these few days, Sun Ce had concluded that Xu Shu could no longer be able to dig it up, so it would be better to use the current threat to deal with Liu Yu.

"Then I'll say goodbye." Xu Shu turned around and left as he saw Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had no other instructions.

Sun Ce shook his head and sighed, "This Xu Shu is no longer saved. If you don't want to work hard, just say it. Is it necessary? At the moment of the war, I actually want to enjoy the scenery. It really disappoints me."

"Bo Fu, forget it. The forced melon is not sweet. Xu Shu has determined Liu Bei. Let's not waste any effort on him." Zhou Yu comforted.

"What a pity that this talent is. It would be great if I could use it for my Jiangdong." Sun Ce was a prince who was eager to seek talents and needed all talents. Sun Ce did not do anything to poach. For example, Taishi Ci was poached by Sun Ce, so Gan Ning was also considered a good person.

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly. Nowadays, the princes have huge resource advantages and can attract many talents to join. However, the princes are divided into different levels. In the eyes of high-level strategists, not only the ruler chooses subordinates, but also the subordinates have to choose the master. Meeting the master is the highest pursuit of a strategist.

But why do you not choose to do it alone because of your strong ability?

One of the reasons is that he has a good background. He has a good background. Even if his abilities are mediocre, he can gain status in this troubled times. For example, Yuan Shu, who was once a slag with only five fighting power among his peers, but he occupied a large amount of territory from the beginning and finally became an emperor. Another representative is Liu Zhang from Yizhou. Now he is still relying on his own welfare to be a local emperor with no worries about food and clothing?

Although the strategist is not very bad, he is not as good as the princes after all. The knowledge in ancient times was monopolized by aristocratic families. It is not impossible for a poor loser to counterattack and become a rich and handsome man, but it is often more bumpy than later generations. More important things, the ambitions of strategists are different from those of the princes, but they can find common ground. Moreover, most strategists like to plan and do not like power struggles.

This is the simplest difference between the two.

"Gongjin, we can't let this kid Xu Shu run away." Sun Ce expressed his meaning obscurely.

Of course, Zhou Yu knew what it meant. If Xu Shu didn’t join Jiangdong, he would have to stay in Jiangdong for the rest of his life. In short, Xu Shu could not leave Jiangdong alive. This was the consensus reached between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu moved his eyebrows and responded to Sun Ce that he had understood what Sun Ce meant. Sun Ce also smiled but said nothing. The two of them had formed a tacit understanding over the years, and there was no need to say anything more, and they could understand it with just one look and movement.

"Bofu, Cao Cao really needs to follow up. It's been a long time. Why didn't Cao Cao respond to any news?" Zhou Yu was very worried about this issue.

Sun Ce nodded and said, "If there is no surprise, Ziyu should be back soon."

Sun Ce sent Zhuge Jin as an envoy to contact Cao Cao. According to time, it was almost time for Zhuge Jin to come back.

"Then wait one more day." Zhou Yu could only continue to wait for news from Zhuge Jin.

And Zhuge Jin is really on the way back to Jiangdong.

The distance between Jiangdong and Yuzhou was not as far as imagined. Zhuge Jin had a heavy responsibility and had no intention of delaying it. He came to Shouchun very quickly, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion very quickly, and met Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, the actual ruler of the Jian'an court.

Cao Cao knew what Jiangdong's envoy was coming for, but he wanted Cao Cao to send troops to attack Liu Yu, let Liu Yu divide his troops, and share the pressure for Jiangdong.

To be honest, Cao Cao and his staff knew the importance of helping Jiangdong. However, Cao Cao did not plan to send troops at this time. At this time, he would attract Liu Yu's attention to him. If Liu Yu's nerves were wrong, he gave up attacking Jiangdong and changed his strategy to attack Yuzhou first, Cao Cao would be a little more than worth the effort.

At the beginning, Cao Cao was really enthusiastic about sending troops because he planned to take the opportunity to take back the Yingchuan land. Unfortunately, there were capable people on Liu Yu who had seen through these things long ago, so that Cao Cao's sending troops had no effect at all. Sima Yi's plan and Zhang Fei's messy actions made Cao Cao suffer very serious losses. Even Cao Ren was carried back to Shouchun. Cao Cao was heartbroken when Cao Ren returned with such a big defeat, but he had to give Cao Ren some punishment. Cao Ren was rubbed to the end by Cao Cao. Even Cao Cao's own family, Cao Cao as the lord, had no idea of ​​favoritism. If everyone around him had not pleaded for Cao Ren, Cao Cao would have killed Cao Ren. Cao Ren naturally had no face to face Cao Cao, and now he has been staying at home in the name of recuperation.

But Xiahou Lan, who was also defeated, was appreciated by Cao Cao again. She was not punished for defeat. Instead, she immediately went back to meet with the main general and finally saved Cao Ren. From these few points, Cao Cao admired Xiahou Lan very much. She was calm in the face of danger and had the spirit of a great general, which was worth cultivating.

But due to this failure, Cao Cao could mobilize even fewer troops. So at present, Cao Cao is a little reluctant to take the initiative to provoke Liu Yu.

Now Cao Cao is planning to let Jiangdong and Liu Yu fight each other, and then they benefit. Now Liu Yu has not started fighting with Jiangdong, Cao Cao will not do such a thing as a pioneer, after all, there is no benefit, right?

Cao Cao tactfully expressed his difficulties and needed time to prepare. But as long as Jiangdong and Liu Yu went to war, Cao Cao would react immediately, and the army rushed towards Nanyang and attacked Liu Yu from both sides of Jiangdong.

This is said in vain. Zhuge Jin is not weak in intelligence, so he naturally knows what Cao Cao is thinking, and he just wants to sit and watch the story of the two tigers fighting each other. Zhuge Jin, who is good at eloquence, cannot be fooled by Cao Cao like this. He has tried his best to talk to Cao Cao a lot of talk about the life and death relationship between Jiangdong and Yuzhou, the importance of cooperation between Sun Ce and Cao Cao, etc. But unfortunately, Cao Cao's aides are much more eloquent than Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Jin does not have the ability to fight against the scholars of his brother Zhuge Liang, and he will be defeated without any surprises.

In the end, in order to make Sun Ce feel at ease to fight Liu Yu, Cao Cao promised that even if he was not prepared enough, Liu Yu and Jiangdong would start a fight, and he would definitely take action and would never let Jiangdong suffer any losses.

If Zhuge Jin could believe Cao Cao's plan, then he would not change his surname to Zhuge and change his surname to Zhuge.

But what if you don’t believe it? Zhuge Jin is just an envoy, and so much can be done. So Zhuge Jin returned to Jiangdong with a dark face.

When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu knew Cao Cao's attitude, Zhou Yu could only smile bitterly. The treacherous hero was indeed a treacherous hero and he was not willing to suffer any loss. Only Sun Ce was scolding Cao Cao for not being trustworthy.

Xu Shu and a boy from his own, came to the highest mountain near Chibi with wine and side dishes in a very casual manner. The scenery here is very nice, close to the riverside, with many flowers, plants and trees, so you can sit and see the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River.

"It's indeed a good place. You can enjoy the whole view, it's worth the trip." Xu Shu took a leisurely walk, and several figures appeared in the distance behind him. They came to monitor Xu Shu. Xu Shu also knew the existence of these people.

Xu Shu seemed to be really here to enjoy the scenery. After finding a cool and comfortable place, under the boy's service, Xu Shu began to slowly enjoy the wine and food he brought.

Until the sun set, Xu Shu had no intention of leaving. The Jiangdong people who were monitoring Xu Shu had no intention of continuing to monitor and chose to leave one after another. No one was willing to eat enough and enjoy the scenery with Xu Shu. The key was that Xu Shu had something to eat, they were all hungry.

This is also one of Xu Shu’s intentions.

Soon night fell, and stars gradually appeared in the night sky.
