Wu County, outside the city.

Liu Yu stood quietly outside Wu County, staring intently at the ancient city wall.

However, compared with Yecheng, this city wall seemed small and fragile, as if it would be destroyed at any time.

Liu Yu thought to himself that if he had sufficient siege equipment and sent a large army to attack Wu County, he might be able to successfully capture the city in just a few days.

But at this moment, he was not willing to take such tough measures.

He is well aware of the destruction and suffering that war brings and hopes to resolve the issue through peaceful means.

Therefore, Liu Yu sent people to constantly call out to Sun Quan, asking him to lay down his weapons in order to stop the fighting.

Faced with Liu Yu's repeated urging, Sun Quan has agreed to come out and negotiate with Liu Yu.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu stood side by side, behind Liu Yu.

Their eyes were all focused on the direction of the city gate.

Liu Yu had a thoughtful look on his face and asked, "In your opinion, is it possible to successfully persuade Sun Quan?"

Guo Jia raised his lips slightly, revealing a confident smile, and responded: "Currently Wu County is surrounded by enemies, and Sun Quan has nowhere to go, with no way out.

As long as the lord can explain the pros and cons to him, the chances of success are still quite high."

After hearing this, Liu Yu nodded slightly and then shifted his gaze to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was seen with a slightly hunched body and drooped eyes, staring at the city gate. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Zhou Yu is leading the army to fight outside at this moment. Sun Quan must still have some hope deep in his heart. If he does not see the news of Zhou Yu's defeat with his own eyes, I am afraid he will not easily choose to surrender."

Liu Yu did not express his opinion immediately, but continued to nod slowly.

The views put forward by Guo Jia and Jia Xu both have certain possibilities, and Liu Yu actually has no definite answer in his mind as to whether he can finally persuade Sun Quan to surrender.

Liu Yu was a little confused. What kind of person was Sun Quan during this period?

But he was not worried, because he knew very well that the core target of calling Sun Quan out of the city this time was not Sun Quan himself, but the highly respected minister beside him - Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao not only controlled all political affairs of Eastern Wu, but was also the de facto leader of the aristocratic families.

As long as his wishes were slightly biased, even if Sun Quan was unwilling to agree in his heart, it would be difficult for him to disobey.

As the city gate slowly opened, Sun Quan walked out steadily surrounded by a group of soldiers.

Liu Yu carefully looked up and down at the young Sun Quan in front of him. He saw that he was handsome and imposing, and he naturally exuded an awe-inspiring majesty.

Liu Yu couldn't help but admire in his heart, thinking that if he had a son he would be like Sun Zhongmou, it seemed that this long-standing saying was not groundless.

Judging from his appearance alone, Sun Quan can indeed be described as a rare talent among men.

Liu Yu was the first to break the silence and said, "Zhongmou, you were originally a county governor appointed by the Han Dynasty court, and you should have abided by the laws and rules of the Han Dynasty, but you openly disobeyed and even confronted the court.

Now our army has surrounded the city. As long as I give the order, the city can be conquered within three days. The reason why we have not launched the attack until now is, firstly, because of the friendship between you and my ancestors, and secondly, because we are worried that the war will lead to the destruction of lives! "

"Uncle Liu is also a powerful leader, so there is no need for such polite words.

The Han Dynasty is now in a state of disrepair and unable to take care of itself. Uncle Liu must know best how much appeal it has.

You landed in Jiaxing and led your troops to advance quickly. In such a hurry, your siege equipment must have been insufficient. Otherwise, you wouldn't have waited so long?"

In Sun Quan's opinion, it was really hypocritical to talk about a lot of reasons when the siege equipment was obviously insufficient!

It seems that what Zhou Yu said was right. Liu Huangshu was supposed to support the Han Dynasty and take the world as his responsibility. But in fact, he was harboring evil intentions and secretly stealing the country.

Liu Yu stared at Sun Quan with a sharp gaze and said loudly: "Even if we don't have enough siege equipment, we can still capture Wu County with the soldiers outside the city."

Liu Yu is very confident because he has the strength to be confident.

"The situation in Wu County is extremely critical now! If you are willing to surrender to me now, I will definitely make you a marquis and a general, and let you enjoy a life of wealth and glory.

But if you insist on having your own way and insist on fighting to the end, when the city is broken, there will be rivers of blood and corpses everywhere.

Do you really have the heart to watch thousands of soldiers die in vain for your own selfish desires?"

Sun Quan remained calm, without any panic or frustration. He responded calmly, "Uncle Liu, I inherited the Jiangdong cause at the behest of my father and brother. How can I give up easily and hand over this hard-earned family business to Uncle Liu?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly, shook his head slowly and said: "Your words are a bit biased. Not to mention this small Jiangdong area, even in this vast world, it is not the world of a certain family or surname, but the world of all people in the world.

Jiangdong naturally belongs to all the people of Jiangdong, not just the Sun family."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, and Sun Quan fell into deep thought. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something in rebuttal, but didn't know where to start.

After a long silence, Sun Quan gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "Uncle Liu is a man of outstanding literary talent and sharp tongue. If we only talk about words, I am naturally no match for you. However, let's fight it out on the battlefield!"

After Sun Quan finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

However, at this moment, Liu Yu's voice rang out again, breaking the silence. "Zhongmou, the reason why you are unwilling to surrender must be that you still have a glimmer of hope in your heart, hoping that Zhou Yu can lead the army back to rescue Wu County.

But have you ever thought about why I only surrounded the city but did not launch an attack? Is it just because I don't have enough siege equipment?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Quan stopped suddenly.

"Uncle Liu wants to use me as bait to ambush Gongjin?"

Sun Quan stared at Liu Yu with eyes wide open, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes. He did not expect that Liu Huangshu would use such means to deal with Zhou Yu.

"Yes, I have already set up ambushes along the way. If Zhou Yu is smart, he will not dare to move rashly. Once any soldiers pass by, those ambushes will surely kill them all." Liu Yu smiled slightly, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

"Uncle Liu, you..." Sun Quan finally showed a trace of panic on his face, and his eyes began to become a little cold. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Gongjin is very wise, he will definitely be able to see through Uncle Liu's plan and come up with a countermeasure."
