Sun Quan was very confident, or to be more precise, he had to appear very confident.

He believed that Zhou Yu could use his wisdom to lead the army, break through Liu Yu's defense, and arrive at the city of Wu County.

Compared with Sun Quan's self-confidence, Zhang Zhao seemed a little lacking in confidence.

Ever since Liu Yu sent the letter, Zhang Zhao had no confidence in his heart. He believed that with the current situation in Jiangdong, it would be impossible to withstand Liu Yu's attack.

However, due to Sun Quan's face and Zhou Yu's persuasion, he had to agree to the decision to fight Liu Yu.

The fact was just as he expected. Emperor Liu openly repaired the plank road while secretly marching through Chencang and deployed his troops at the gate of Wu County in one fell swoop.

Uncle Liu had already raised his sword at the foot of the city, and the reason he didn't put it down was that he wanted to win a reputation for being benevolent and righteous.

When Sun Quan came back, he wanted to persuade him to give up resistance and surrender, but when he saw that Sun Quan looked gloomy, he changed the subject.

"My lord, Wu County has been besieged by Emperor Liu for several days. The news has spread, but Gongjin has not yet sent soldiers to come. I'm afraid this is not a good sign."

After Sun Quan tried to regain his composure, he slowly said, "Uncle Liu has set up ambushes along the way, and I'm sure Gongjin is also planning a way to break them."

Zhang Zhao's low voice sounded slowly.

"Uncle Liu's writing is cunning. He suddenly led his troops to Wu County and had completely taken the initiative from the stalemate. At this time, Gongjin could only ignore the casualties of his soldiers and force his way through Uncle Liu's ambush. Perhaps Wu County still had a chance of survival.

However, this is not an easy matter. Even if he can break through the defense, he will probably suffer heavy casualties and his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Even if he reaches the city of Wu County, he will probably be no match for Emperor Liu."

Sun Quan vaguely understood Zhang Zhao's intention to surrender. His eyes were firm and his voice contained a hint of unquestionable determination.

"Gongjin's talent is unparalleled in the world. I believe he will be able to defeat the enemy!"

……

……

Zhou Yu was lying on the couch with red eyes. He had been ill since he learned that Liu Yu had surrounded Wu County.

The disease came suddenly, just like the sudden storm on the river, with no apparent pattern.

The generals of Jiangdong gathered in Zhou Yu's tent to discuss the plan to rescue Wu County.

The plan has been discussed for a long time, but no progress has been made.

There is no strategy that can be completely certain to bypass Liu Bei's ambush and still maintain combat effectiveness.

Seeing Zhou Yu becoming more and more haggard, Lu Meng became worried. He knew that Zhou Yu was the only one Jiangdong could rely on now.

Once Zhou Yu fell ill, there would be no hope for Jiangdong.

Suddenly, a plan came to his mind. If he followed this plan, he would be able to defeat Liu Yu by surprise.

"Grand Commander, I have a plan that can deceive Uncle Liu and allow the soldiers to arrive safely at the gates of Wu County."

Zhou Yu was refreshed when he heard this. He slowly sat up straight and asked, "Ziming, if you have any good ideas, please tell me now."

Lü Meng looked around and said, "We can ask the soldiers to take off their armor and weapons, blend in with the merchants and refugees, and head to Wu County. Uncle Liu is known for his benevolence and righteousness. When he sees these two teams, he will certainly have no other intentions.

Twenty miles north of Wu County, there is an armory in Jiangdong. The weapons are hidden deep in the mountains. As long as the soldiers come here, organize their weapons, and suddenly attack Emperor Liu in the middle of the night, they can defeat him. "

Although wars are ongoing these days, commercial activities have not stopped. All localities have a very lenient attitude towards merchants, allowing them to move freely within the country.

This is not difficult to understand. In this era of material shortage, all places need to exchange what they have to maintain people's daily lives.

After all, people need to eat, and if all this is blocked it will inevitably cause great unrest.

After Lu Meng finished speaking, he thought he would be recognized by Zhou Yu and win his praise.

Who knew that after Zhou Yu heard this, he frowned slightly and paused obviously.

He lowered his head in thought and did not comment on this plan.

This made Lu Meng still confused, and he couldn't help but ask: "Does the Grand Commander still have doubts in his heart?"

Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Ziming, this plan can indeed deceive Liu Huangshu's soldiers, but it will also bring endless infamy to Jiangdong and allow soldiers to blend in with merchants. This has never happened before."

"Grand Commander, since ancient times, all means are acceptable in war. As long as victory is achieved, any means can be used.

Commander-in-chief, don't forget that Wu County is under siege and our lord is in danger. Once Uncle Liu changes his mind and attacks Wu County, we can capture the city in a few days.

The Grand Commander is entrusted with the responsibility of taking care of the orphan of the rebel general. How can he pursue fame without being practical? "

Cheng Pu pondered for a moment and expressed his support for Lu Meng.

"Grand Commander, what Ziming said makes sense. Our lord is surrounded and his life is hanging by a thread. We have no other choice but to use this plan."

Seeing that Cheng Pu also supported this decision, Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind.

"In that case, Ziming, this matter is now in your hands. You must lead your soldiers there quickly and try to defeat Uncle Liu and rescue our lord."

Lu Meng was overjoyed and said, "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

……

……

Liu Yu, who was outside Wu County, was somewhat puzzled. After several days, according to the news brought by the scouts, there was no news that Zhou Yu had sent soldiers to Wu County.

This surprised Liu Yu. Based on the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, he would definitely not abandon Sun Quan.

"It's very strange that Zhou Yu has been so slow to move his troops. Is he really not worried that I will change my mind and attack Wu County?"

Guo Jia shook his head slowly, indicating that he did not understand.

"This is indeed a bit suspicious. We have ambushed soldiers at all the intersections. No matter which road he takes, he will be ambushed.

It is simply impossible for him to break through the defense without anyone noticing."

Jia Xu did not say anything, but from the fleeting look in his eyes, he had already shown that he did not believe that Zhou Yu would remain indifferent in the face of such a dilemma.

Suddenly, Liu Yusi seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly asked the scout to come in and asked, "Has there been any other abnormalities on the official road these days?"

The scout was a little confused by Liu Yu's question.

He thought for a moment, his eyes still a little confused. He really didn't understand what Liu Yu meant?

Abnormal, what abnormal?

Seeing that he had a confused look in his eyes, Liu Yu knew that he didn't understand what he was saying at all, so he gave him further hints.

"Have the number and frequency of merchants increased significantly compared to the past few days?"

The scout recalled the details of his investigation along the way and responded, "It is true. Not only has the number of merchants increased significantly, but the number of refugees has also increased."

When Liu Yu heard this, he was shocked. He slammed the table and stood up.

"Crossing the river in white?"
