Zhou Yu quickly turned his head and thought about the direction of the war.

Gu Yong was highly valued by sun CE. In particular, Gu Yong was willing to risk his life and death and lurked in Xiangyang. He had already paid a lot. At this time, regardless of Gu Yong's life, regardless of Gu Yong's life or death, it is tantamount to abandoning Gu Yong.

Sun cexun asked: "Gongjin, what can you do?"

Zhou Yu tried to keep calm. After thinking about it, he said: "the current situation is to keep calm and think about what aspects Zhang Xiu will consider and how she may do it. Then, we can infer how Zhang Xiu will send troops. "

Sun CE said, "think about it!"

Zhou Yu quickly turned his mind and thought about the way to deal with it.

Time goes by.

Sun CE's face was full of anxiety. He looked at Zhou Yu from time to time, waiting for him to analyze the situation. In fact, what he considered was limited. He could only rely on Zhou Yu.

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "in this battle, Zhang Xiu may have three intentions."

Sun CE said, "what are the three aspects?"

Zhou Yu replied, "first, deal with Liu Biao. With Zhang Xiu's current strength, he is likely to want to annex Jingzhou. So I think he is likely to use our strength to deal with Liu Biao. Or, let's kill Liu Biao and completely destroy his power. This is Zhang Xiu's first intention. "

Sun CE said, "what about the second one?"

Zhou Yu replied, "second, we should deal with Liu Bei. There is hatred between Liu Yong and Gu Bei, which is also based on the news. Especially in Jingzhou, Liu Bei influenced Zhang Xiu to win Jingzhou. Therefore, if Zhang Xiu wants to deal with Liu Bei, we will attack Liu Bei and Liu Biao to help Zhang Xiu achieve this goal. "

Sun CE said: "the third is us?"

"Yes

Zhou Yu nodded again and replied, "if our troops fight against Liu Biao and Liu Bei, each side will lose. Even if we destroy Liu Biao and others, our own strength will be weakened. At that time, Zhang Xiu can attack with us. This can achieve the goal of "three carves with one arrow."

"Hiss!"

Sun CE took a cool breath and said: "Zhang Xiu is really a crafty thief. Gu Yong sent back a letter saying that Zhang Xiu was extremely difficult to deal with and was not easy to deal with. Now, that's true. "

After a pause, sun CE said again, "we have analyzed the situation, but we have to break it. Otherwise, if we attack Liu Bei and Liu Biao directly, we will fall into Zhang Xiu's calculation. If we don't follow Zhang Xiu's plan, Gu Yong will be in trouble. Gongjin, it's a tough choice. "

Zhou Yu continued to think and said, "Zhang Xiu's current plan is Yang Mou. Because he has Gu Yong's family in his hands, it is difficult for us to ignore Gu Yong's life and death, and the safety of his family. We can only proceed according to Zhang Xiu's plan, but now, I think we have three choices. "

Sun CE leaned forward and asked, "what are the three choices? Please tell me."

Zhou Yu said: "the best policy is to follow the trend and divide the army into two groups. One group of troops will stay and confront Zhang Xiu's army and entangle Zhang Xiu. The other way is to take Liu Bei and Liu Biao. "

After a pause, Zhou Yu continued: "of course, it's up to Gu Yong to let Liu Biao take the initiative and give us the chance to defeat Liu Biao first and then Liu Bei. As long as we defeat Liu Biao and Liu Bei, we will have a chance to compete with Zhang Xiu. At that time, let Zhang Xiu hand over Gu Yong's family. "

Sun CE said: "this strategy is not easy to operate. It involves many details and is even more complicated. Such a thing is not easy to accomplish. "

"Gongjin, what's the best policy?"

Sun CE asked again.

Zhou Yu replied: "the best policy is to temporarily shelve the hatred with Liu Bei and Liu Biao and attack Zhang Xiu together. Of course, this involves the safety of Gu Yong's family. Can only be first regardless of the safety of Gu Yong family members, go all out to win Zhang Xiu. In doing so, there is still a certain chance to turn the situation around. Finally, fight with Liu Bei and Liu Biao again. "

"Not right!"

Sun CE shook his head and replied, "our hatred against Zhang Xiu is not deep, but our hatred against Liu Biao is deep. In any case, I will not cooperate with Liu Biao. If I had a chance, I would like to kill Liu Biao. "

Zhou Yu said: "the worst way is to unite with Zhang Xiu. Let go of the prejudices of both sides and negotiate with Zhang Xiu. We help him destroy Liu Bei and Liu Biao. He allows us to capture Lujiang River and release Gu Yong's family

"Will it work?"

After hearing this, sun CE asked.

At this time, sun CE's heart was somewhat moved.

If we can unite with Zhang Xiu, we can not only save Huiyong, but also capture Lujiang County, which is very beneficial to sun CE. As for Zhang Xiu and between, although some resentment, but at least, not and Liu Biao as deep hatred.

Zhou Yu said: "whether it works or not, we need to talk again in front of Zhang Xiu."

"Let's go and see Zhang Xiu."

Sun CE was a hot tempered man and made a decision immediately.The best policy is too difficult to plan. It is not easy to compete with Liu Biao, Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu at the same time. But if they unite with Zhang Xiu, sun CE will be profitable and can solve Gu Yong's problem.

If Gu Yong's family is safe and Gu Yong's life and death are not affected, sun CE has more choices. But now, sun CE has no choice but to do so.

Zhou Yu followed sun CE. They mobilized a few soldiers and rushed to Zhang Xiu's camp. When sun CE arrived outside Zhang Xiu's camp, after sun CE called for help, Zhang Xiu came to the gate of the camp.

Zhang Xiu galloped forward, stopped ten steps away from sun CE, and said with a smile, "Sun CE, what's the important thing for you to come here now? Or, you have another idea. "

"Yes

Sun CE said directly: "despite your previous arrangements, I suggest that we form an alliance and jointly attack Liu Bei and Liu Biao. Then, you release Gu Yong's family and let me take Lujiang County. So, how about I wipe out Liu Bei and Liu Biao for you? "

Zhang Xiu said: "what if I don't form an alliance? Even if I agree not to form an alliance, I have Gu Yong's family in my hands, you must attack Liu Bei and Liu Biao, otherwise the safety of Gu Yong and his family will not be guaranteed. "

Sun CE shook his head and said, "it's too dangerous for me to act according to your plan."

"Once you calculate, you will sweep the army of Liu Biao, Liu Bei and us, and I will lose more than I gain. I would rather abandon Gu Yong than attack Liu Biao and Liu Bei by taking a small path. "

"The only thing I can accept and that is in your best interest is our alliance."

Sun CE said: "I have put forward the plan. Zhang Xiu, what do you think?"

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed.

Unexpectedly, sun CE made such a reply.

This is a surprise to Zhang Xiu.

Zhou Yu said in a timely manner: "Zhang Taiwei, with your present strength, even the whole Jingzhou can't be swallowed for the time being. Why should you take charge of Lujiang County?"

"If we unite to attack Liu Bei and Liu Biao and destroy these two armies, you can withdraw to Jingzhou, and then occupy Jingzhou openly. Why not?"

"At that time, we can kill Liu Biao for you."

"There is no master in Jingzhou. You are the master of Jingzhou."

Zhou Yu said: "in the same way, Zhang Taiwei's release of Gu Yong's family also benefits our Jiangdong. It's not happy for both sides to make their own profits and get their own benefits. "

Zhang Xiu looked at Zhou Yu and said, "this is Gong Jin's plan. He threatened me to cooperate with you and attack Liu Biao and Liu Bei with the gesture of breaking the jar, right?"

Zhou Yu said: "Zhang Taiwei's praise is not worth mentioning. What's more, it's not difficult for Zhang Taiwei. It's good for him. "

He was sure that Zhang Xiu would weigh the pros and cons and choose a plan that was beneficial to both sides.
