Chapter 172 Lu Bu is also a bait
"Brother, do you want Lu Bu to appear or not?" Sun Quan asked.
"Of course I hope he appears!" Sun Ce said naturally, "If Lu Bu doesn't come, will our plan be in vain?"
"What? Second brother, are you scared?" Sun Ce said to Sun Quan.
That's right, they were plotting against Lu Bu this time, but in the time when Lu Bu appeared, before the siege formed, there was still some danger in the two brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan. Moreover, even after the siege, Lu Bu was killed, it was impossible to fight back. At that time, Lu Bu's side would have a life-threatening way of fighting. If Lu Bu died, he would drag someone into the water, or use Sun Quan as a hostage, the risks Sun Quan faced were actually quite great.
So, if Sun Quan wants to say that he is scared, Sun Ce will not be surprised at all.
However, this is not what Sun Quan was really thinking about.
"I just think that Lu Bu will be so easy to be fooled?" Sun Quan couldn't help but say, "Of course, from the perspective of Lu Bu's personality, he is indeed easy to be fooled. But in this way, any design can be successful. Wouldn't this war be very easy to fight? I know that everyone has weaknesses, but fighting in wars is never a matter of one person. Lu Bu also has many talents. If you don't say it, it's just confirmed that we have a conspiracy, at least it is inevitable."
"Wars always have risks, and you never know the enemy's real idea. Attack, you can guess it is a feint attack or retreat, or you can also think of it as a fraudulent retreat. If you are really hesitant and timid, you are not qualified to be a general on the battlefield!" Sun Ce replied, "Decisiveness and arbitraryness are often apart from a single thought. At this time, the more confident a person is, the easier it is to fall into the trap."
"I didn't mean that." Sun Quan shook his head, "I didn't say that Lu Bu would hesitate and choose not to come. I mean, if Lu Bu comes, would he make preparations? He also had to beware of the possibility of a trap?"
"Then you say, what would he do if Lu Bu had to prepare for both things?" Sun Ce asked Sun Quan.
"If it were me, I would divide the troops into two groups and deliberately leave one unit to suppress the back. If the front army is really surrounded, the rear army will immediately attack from behind, cooperate with the inside and outside, and break out of a bloody path. Or, make another preparation and send someone to attack head-on in the main business at the same time." Sun Quan said.
"Second brother, you have a good idea." Sun Ce nodded admiringly, "Although I can't say that there is something wrong with your idea, have you ever thought that if the troops are divided into two groups, or even three groups, the forces of each group will become very small. From the overall perspective, this arrangement is certainly correct, but anyone is afraid of death, at least he doesn't want to die. If you are in the front army and you are worried about falling into a trap, then are you willing to put your hopes on the rear army that may cause changes at any time? Or should you bring all your strength with yourself to rest assured?"
This is the difference in viewing problems caused by the two completely different perspectives. Sun Ce is willing to lead troops to be a vanguard in war, and he habitually looks at problems from the first perspective, and will think about what he would do in the army. However, Sun Quan is different. Currently, Sun Quan still has the mentality of playing strategy games, which is completely from the perspective of God, and has not put himself into it. Of course, Sun Quan may have a more rational idea and a higher success rate, but in this way, what he sees is overall success, completely ignoring individual damage.
It’s like when playing chess, so what if I abandon a car in order to eat the other person’s handsome guy? But what if you are the one yourself? Can you sacrifice your life for justice?
"So, brother, what you mean is that as long as Lu Bu can come, he will either rush over recklessly or cautiously lead the large army to rush over?" Sun Quan said.
Sun Ce nodded,
"Yes, there will be no other possibility. The troops are divided into two groups, which is far less simple than you imagined. What is tested is not only trust, but also cooperation. Lu Bu is arrogant. He may have trust in other people's loyalty, but he may not have trust in other people's strength. Instead of relying on the weak, it is better to do it yourself!" Sun Ce said, "Second brother, if you just come to the army, you will naturally be different from us. However, don't think that you are wrong because of this. If you think about the problem from another perspective, you may see something that is easy for us to ignore."
"Brother, don't comfort me. It seems that I have a lot to learn." Sun Quan smiled bitterly.
"Hahaha!" Sun Ce patted Sun Quan on the shoulder, "It's okay, I was far worse than you when I first came. I believe that in the near future, you and my brothers will definitely sweep the world!"
"Yeah! Sweep the world!" Sun Quan also shouted.
After a conversation, the two brothers were completely lost in sleepiness as if they were injected with chicken blood. After the grain transport team advanced for a while, Lu Bujun finally appeared.
When the enemy was discovered, Sun Quan used his skills to simulate it as soon as possible.
A second later, Sun Quan came out of the first illusion of thoughts and found that things were far less simple than he had imagined - Lu Bu was here, but it was not just Lu Bu!
In the illusion, Sun Quan determined several very important information. Lu Bu's army detoured from the south of Sun Jian's base camp. After being surrounded, another enemy army appeared in the north, and surprise attacked the third unit led by Huang Gai of the Jiangdong Army.
By the time the illusion ended, Lu Bu's army suffered heavy injuries, while Huang Gai's third unit was also severely injured. It was originally a beautiful siege battle, but it eventually turned into a tough battle that hurts the enemy by 1,000 and hurts himself. Moreover, by the time Sun Quan withdrew from the illusion, neither side had yet to decide the outcome, and it was still unclear what the final result was!
But at least Sun Quan was sure that the enemy army that appeared in the north had never expected it!
Unfortunately, there is no telephone number for contact in this era, and the intelligence that Sun Quan can obtain is very limited. He doesn't even know which team came from the north. However, in this illusion simulation, Sun Quan did not have any gains. Not only did he confirm in advance that there was an enemy army in the north, but Sun Quan also found that the enemy army in the north did not seem to be completely aligned with the Lu Bu army.
Because the enemy in the north obviously did not aim at rescuing Lu Bu, they mainly attacked the Jiangdong army directly. Otherwise, if they had an hour to cooperate with the inside and outside, how could they have not yet joined the Lu Bu army? Otherwise, how could the Lu Bu army be so severely damaged? The enemy in the north didn't care about Lu Bu's life or death. They let Lu Bu resist most of the attacks, and they secretly picked up the bargain behind them.
In Sun Quan's words, this is the act of abandoning his own car in order to eat the handsome man on the other side. Sun Quan is the bait to lure Lu Bu. Now, Lu Bu has become the bait to lure the entire Jiangdong Army!
Of course, it doesn’t matter what problems arise within the enemy at all. What’s important is what should Sun Quan do now? Do you really have to give up Huang Gai and kill Lu Bu?
