Zhu Ran had a righteous look on his face, his eyebrows raised, his eyes wide open, and his face was full of anger. His expression was serious and solemn, which was intimidating.

His murderous eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls, making people shudder.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "My lord, when we return to Jiangdong, I will tear out the heart of that old scholar Zhang Zhao and serve it to you as a snack! This thief actually betrayed me at the critical moment. He deserves death!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy, but his expression remained calm as water, and he didn't show any joy at all.

He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Yifeng, don't speak nonsense. It is human nature for Zibu and others to miss their wives and children at home. Although I am a little disappointed with their performance this time, I don't blame them.

In the final analysis, this incident was caused by my incompetence, which allowed that Emperor Liu to take advantage of the opportunity and lead his troops to suddenly besiege Wu County."

After saying this, Sun Quan sighed, his eyes revealing a hint of self-blame and helplessness.

Although Sun Quan resented Zhang Zhao and others in his heart, he knew clearly that at this time, he was at a low point and had no right to resent anyone.

After they killed Guan Yu and returned to Jiangdong, they still needed to rely on Zhang Zhao's talents to stabilize Jiangdong.

Therefore, from any level, it is necessary to protect Zhang Zhao. As for how to make the decision after he has gained his foothold, that is another story!

"My lord is tolerant and generous, which is truly the style of a wise leader.

Are you calling us here today because there is an opportunity to return to Jiangdong?"

"Yifeng is right. I thought I would have to wait for an opportunity after returning to Jiangdong. Maybe I would have to wait until Uncle Liu retired as the Emperor, but now this opportunity has come ahead of time."

During this period, Sun Quan had been asking the two to recruit assassins in order to be able to return to Jiangdong one day.

Looking at the power that Uncle Liu has now, he thought he would have to wait a long time for this opportunity.

But who knew that Cao Cao suddenly sent someone to deliver the emperor's edict, so that he could legitimately start his actions.

Sun Quan took out the imperial edict from his pocket and said slowly: "The emperor is trapped in Chang'an and is in danger. I have sent you the imperial edict to help you defeat Liu Huangshu and rescue your majesty.

Now that Uncle Liu is extremely powerful, if we want to rescue Your Majesty, we must kill Guan Yu, seize Jingzhou, and then recover Jiangdong."

Killing Guan Yu is undoubtedly the glorious achievement that every military commander who fights on the battlefield and is eager to make great achievements dreams of!

What kind of person is Guan Yu? He is the most courageous and fearless general under Emperor Liu!

This man is highly skilled in martial arts and extremely brave. He has fought in countless battles and made outstanding contributions.

Whether charging into battle on the battlefield or bravely fighting the enemy in the face of heavy encirclement, Guan Yu was always able to defeat ten enemies alone and was unstoppable.

Moreover, Guan Yu was not only a brave and capable general, but more importantly, he had the absolute trust and respect of Emperor Liu.

Whenever the situation required the division of troops to garrison strategic locations, the first person that came to Liu Bei's mind was Guan Yu.

Back then, guarding Chang'an was like this!

Today, the same is true for guarding Jingzhou!

Their faces flushed, and they were somewhat excited to hear this decision, but there was an unconcealable worry in their eyes.

Sun Quan noticed the expressions of the two men. He repeated the plan of Cao Cao's envoy, and the expressions of the two men instantly relaxed a lot.

"My lord, I will lead my troops to set up an ambush on the mountain road. If Guan Yu dares to enter with his light cavalry, I will kill him."

"Okay, Yifeng, you two should make secret preparations and wait for my order!"

"only!"

……

……

After the middle-aged Confucian scholar came out of Sun Quan's mansion, he set out on his journey home.

He looked left and right, walking carefully along the way, sometimes going around the street corners, sometimes blending into the bustling crowd. When others were not paying attention, he suddenly quickened his pace and quickly entered a narrow and quiet alley.

After entering the alley, he did not stop his hurried steps, but continued along the winding road.

This alley seemed to have no end. The walls on both sides towered into the clouds, leaving only a narrow strip of sky.

After a long journey, he finally reached the depths of the alley, and without hesitation turned around and entered a seemingly ordinary courtyard.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, a violent coughing sound came into his ears.

The sound came from the direction of the study, and it continued, sounding very distressing.

The middle-aged scholar's heart tightened, and he quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the study.

When he pushed open the door of the study, he saw Guo Jia leaning against the desk, his face as pale as paper and looking haggard.

Every cough seemed to drain all his strength, but even so, Guo Jia still endured the pain and cast an inquiring look towards the door.

The middle-aged scholar hurried forward a few steps, walked to Guo Jia's side, and asked with concern: "Master, your cough has become more severe in the past few days. Have you been drinking the soup medicine on time?"

As he spoke, he reached out and gently patted Guo Jia's back, hoping to help relieve his discomfort.

Guo Jia slowly waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. He raised his head, looked at the middle-aged scholar in front of him with a slightly weak but still sharp look, and asked, "How is the matter I asked you to do going?"

The middle-aged scholar bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Master, everything has been done. But Sun Quan is a very cautious person. If you hadn't prepared the gift of the imperial edict for him in advance, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to convince him to cooperate with us."

After hearing this, Guo Jia smiled faintly. He coughed twice and said slowly, "If you want to catch fish, you naturally need to give them some tempting bait.

This imperial edict is the delicious bait I prepared for Sun Quan. As long as he takes the bait, the next plan can be carried out smoothly..."
