Sun Ce felt a little lonely, and this loneliness became more intense as time went by.

He walked out of the meeting room without stopping and quickly returned to the mansion.

He straightened his clothes and prepared to pay his respects to his mother.

Arriving at the back hall, Sun Ce saw a handsome young man playing a zither. The sound was so ethereal and natural that it made one forget about worldly matters and sounded like the sound of nature.

After the song was over, the voice of his mother, Mrs. Wu, was heard.

"I heard Ce'er say that Gongjin's music is pure and elegant, unrivaled in the world. Today, I heard it and it is indeed true."

"You are too kind, Auntie."

Sun Ce walked in at this time, greeted Zhou Yu with a smile, and then saluted his mother.

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Ce'er, please get up quickly. You are busy with official duties, so please take care of your health and don't worry about these empty formalities."

Sun Ce stood up and greeted Zhou Yu again.

Sun Ce took a seat, and the two began to chat with Mrs. Wu.

After chatting for a long time, Mrs. Wu felt a little sleepy, so the two said goodbye and left.

As soon as he left the room, Zhou Yu asked in a low voice: "Bofu, I see that you look worried, is there something troubling you?"

"Let's go to the study. You and I can talk while we drink."

Walking through corridors and alleys, the two came to a quiet study.

After the two of them sat down, Sun Ce ordered his servants to serve wine and food.

The two drank a few glasses of wine. Sun Ce then sighed and said, "To be honest, Gongjin, today Yuan Gonglu called everyone together to discuss sending troops to rescue Pingyu. I volunteered to fight, but was ignored by Yuan Gonglu. That's why I feel upset."

"Yuan Gonglu didn't let you go. I guess he was angry with you because of your failure in Yingchuan last time."

"Yes, that's right."

After that, he recounted in detail what happened in the meeting room today.

Zhou Yu smiled faintly when he heard this.

"Bofu, don't be sad. In my opinion, the fact that Yuan Gonglu didn't send you this time is not a bad thing, but a happy thing."

"What do you mean, Gongjin?"

"Uncle Liu is extremely intelligent, his generals are brave, and their morale is high. It will be difficult to defeat him."

"Unless Yuan Benchu ​​leads a large army to attack Luoyang, Emperor Liu will be attacked from all sides and will be too exhausted to deal with it. There will inevitably be loopholes. Only if Zhang Xun can seize the opportunity can he win with one strike."

"It's a pity that Yuan Gonglu ignored such honest advice due to his partisanship. It's really ridiculous."

"If my prediction is correct, Zhang Xun will not only return empty-handed this time, but will also suffer heavy casualties."

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with a smile. He heard the name of Liu Huangshu almost every once in a while. Deep in his heart, he wanted to meet Liu Huangshu very much, or to be more precise, he wanted to compete with him.

Sun Ce had always known Zhou Yu's insights, and after hearing his analysis, he slowly nodded.

He had seen how terrifying Liu Bei was when he was in Yingchuan last time. It would be very difficult to defeat him without full preparation.

"As Gongjin said, it won't be long before Yuzhou falls into the hands of Uncle Liu."

"exactly."

Sun Ce sighed deeply, and in his voice there was an endless loneliness.

"Uncle Liu has achieved such success at such a young age, while I am still under Yuan Gonglu, barely surviving and relying on others for my livelihood."

"My late father was a great hero. When he was my age, he was already a leader and had made many military achievements. Whenever I think of this, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat."

"Bofu, don't be discouraged. A true man lives a life of achievement and fame. Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline and the princes are rising up, it is the time for heroes to serve. Why should Bofu be discouraged?"

Sun Ce thought Zhou Yu's advice made sense.

If a man cannot achieve anything during his time in this world, what is the point of living for a hundred years?

But now, although he has great ambitions, he has nowhere to display them. How can he not feel depressed?

"Gongjin, the situation in the world is becoming clearer now. Can I still achieve fame and success in my situation?"

"Bo Fu's courage is rare in the world. How difficult is it for him to achieve fame?"

Seeing that he spoke so calmly and without any hesitation, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.

"Please teach me, Gongjin."

"Yuan Gonglu has already developed a grudge against you. The first step you need to take now is to make Yuan Gonglu trust you again."

"Zhang Xun leads his troops to rescue Pingyu, but he will be defeated soon. Emperor Liu will not let him go easily and will definitely send people to drive him out of Runan. Bofu, when the time comes, you only need to ambush a group of troops here to repel the pursuers."

"Bofu saved Zhang Xun, how could he not be grateful to you? If he says a few good words to Yuan Gonglu, and you defeated the pursuers, it would be considered a great achievement, and Yuan Gonglu would definitely trust you again."

"Yuzhou fell into the hands of Liu Huangshu, and Yuan Gonglu had no choice but to capture Yangzhou. Yangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, with rivers crisscrossing. If you want to capture it, you must be familiar with the terrain and customs."

"Most of the generals under Yuan Gonglu are from the Central Plains and don't know much about this place. If he wants to capture Yangzhou, he must pay attention to Bo Fu."

When Sun Ce heard this, a smile appeared on his face. Not only did he understand the situation in Jiangdong, but more importantly, he had deep connections in Jiangdong.

As long as these connections can be reorganized, it will definitely be of great benefit to the offensive against Jiangdong.

"What a good plan! Such a good plan should be made public."

The two men picked up their glasses and drank a few glasses of wine before stopping.

Zhou Yu put down his wine glass and began to tell Sun Ce the location and details of the sniper attack in detail.

In fact, the sniper mission this time was very simple. Zhou Yu set it at the intersection of Runan and Shouchun.

When Liu Yu's pursuers reached this point, they must have begun to think of retreating. As long as Sun Ce hid in the dark and launched an ambush, he would guarantee that they would retreat.

Sun Ce showed a hint of joy on his face. It was obvious that Zhou Yu's strategy was tailor-made for him. It was an ambush of neither big nor small. Most importantly, it did not require many soldiers and horses to complete.

He has only a few soldiers now, only a thousand. If it is a large-scale military operation, he will be unable to support it.

"Gongjin is a man of heaven-given talent. With Gongjin's help, there is no need to worry about not accomplishing great things."

"This blocking war will not last too long. After Emperor Liu occupied Yuzhou, he had a lot of things to rebuild. He will not bring the war to Jiujiang."

If he was Emperor Liu, he would recuperate for a period of time, secretly strengthen his own strength, and prepare for the future revival of the Han Dynasty.

But Guo Jia couldn't be sure about Uncle Liu's specific plan.

Geniuses like Liu Bei often have unique ideas.

If he had other ideas at that time, Guo Jia would not be surprised at all.
