"That makes sense!"
Hu Zhen was persuaded by Xi Zhicai, but soon he hesitated again. People who worry too much are like this. When thinking about a problem, they always want to cover all aspects. But Hu Zhen never thinks that this is his shortcoming. In troubled times, if he is not careful, he may lose his life. He would rather miss thousands of opportunities than make one mistake, because this one mistake may lead to his death. It will be fatal!
"Since it is Sun Jian's plan, what if he is well prepared and has arranged for people to come from the south in advance?" Hu Zhen couldn't help but ask.
"Not to mention whether Sun Jian had so much time to prepare, even if he did, how could he invite important people in Jingzhou and risk his own life to help him? General, you have to know that the time for us to send troops this time is very Suddenly, even if Sun Jian got the news immediately, others would not be able to rush over from Xiangyang so quickly." Xi Zhicai advised.
"Then what if someone came from Xiangyang and Sun Jian just took advantage of this opportunity to use his plan?" Hu Zhen asked again.
"If you use the trick, then we have to take action. Are you going to sit back and watch Sun Jian form an alliance with Liu Biao, general? Since Sun Jian dares to use the people of Jingzhou to trick him, why don't we take the opportunity to accept this gift. Important people in Jingzhou are because of Sun Jian's Our cleverness fell into our hands, let's see how Sun Jian will explain to Jingzhou!" Xi Zhicai said. Seeing that Hu Zhen was still hesitating, he could only continue to persuade, "General, this is already worth a gamble. How can we march and fight? No risk at all. If we wait any longer, once our army is exposed and Sun Jian returns to the city, it will be too late!"
Hu Zhen was very kind to Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai was grateful, but he was still a little dissatisfied with Hu Zhen. Hu Zhen was really too cautious. Strategies in this era, as long as they are confident in themselves and want to do something big, will basically have similar thoughts. For example, when Xun Yu and Guo Jia later left Yuan Shao and chose Cao Cao, could it be because Yuan Shao treated them badly? Considering Yuan Shao's personality, it is obviously impossible. It can only be said that they did not receive enough attention from Yuan Shao, or their strategies were difficult for Yuan Shao to adopt, so they chose to leave. Being arrogant means that Yuan Shao is not worthy of their following; being selfish means that he is unable to use his talents and realize his own value under Yuan Shao.
Xi Zhicai's current thoughts are very similar. Compared to Hu Zhen's caution, how much he hoped that his lord could be more courageous, more decisive, and more daring to fight and fight harder. In this way, Xi Zhicai could fully assist and exert his greatest value!
"Okay!" Hu Zhen finally gritted his teeth and decided, "However, you have to go to Xi Zhicai in person. I can't trust other people's eyesight. There are many businessmen and common people on the official road, and I don't want any misjudgment to occur!"
"My subordinates take orders!"
Xi Zhicai immediately agreed and left with a few close soldiers. In fact, Xi Zhicai believed that staying here would be more useful, but he had no choice but to persuade Hu Zhen. The most important thing now was time, and opportunities would not always be waiting for them.

On the official road,
Sun Quan and Yu'er rode horses and moved forward slowly. Sun Quan has always been pampered. After evading the pursuers, he is no longer willing to rush on the road. Even if he is riding a horse slowly like this now, Sun Quan will not feel comfortable sitting for a long time. From time to time, he has to come down and take a few steps. Otherwise, where will he go? It would take such a long time.
"Little brother, are you still thinking about how to explain to your father later?" Yu'er said, "If you really feel embarrassed, then my sister will leave you temporarily."
Otherwise, Sun Quan's dillydallying and choosing to escape is not an option.
"Leave me?" Sun Quan was a little stunned.
"Hehe, don't worry, sister will come back when the storm is over. Sister can't bear to leave you~~" Yu'er came closer and smiled.
Yu'er is not kidding. This time Sun Quan saved Yu'er from Cihang Jingzhai. In order to justify their actions, Cihang Jingzhai will definitely denounce Sun Quan. Under the huge pressure of public opinion, it is good for Sun Quan that the two are temporarily separated. Of course, Sun Quan and the two still don't know that Nanyang City has lost control because of their departure. The so-called pressure of public opinion has become secondary.
"You are injured and are alone outside. What should you do if you encounter danger?" Sun Quan said.
"Little brother, do you care about me?" Yu'er pretended to be moved with tears in her eyes.
Sun Quan shrugged,
"Is there any other interpretation?"
After arriving in Luyang, among thousands of troops, Sun Quan no longer had to worry about his own safety, and it was not impossible to leave Yu'er temporarily. And one thing Yu'er said was right, Sun Quan was indeed in a bit of a dilemma now. Yes, Sun Jian is very superstitious about Sun Quan, but the premise is that Sun Quan is in a normal and sober state. What if this time, Sun Jian thinks that Sun Quan is deceived by the enchantress, and everything he does is not Sun Quan's own judgment? At that time, what suitable reasons should Sun Quan find to convince his father?
Therefore, it’s not that Sun Quan doesn’t want Yu’er to leave now, and it’s not that Yu’er will never come back after leaving. Sun Quan is worried about Yu’er, the “Diao Chan”, and is worried that when she leaves, it will be a coincidence and she will really show off her beauty. The serial plan is gone. Sun Quan really cares about Yu'er.
"Then tell me." Yu'er said immediately, "I will leave if you ask me to leave. If you ask me to stay, I will stay. I will listen to whatever you say."
Hey hey, Sun Quan couldn't stand Yu'er's offensive and could only turn his head away. As you said, I'm just a kid, so don't tease me all day long, okay!
"Hehe, if you don't decide, we will soon arrive in Luyang~~" Yu'er said close to Sun Quan.
"Why should I decide such a thing!" Sun Quan couldn't help complaining. He just felt embarrassed, so he didn't know how to make a decision.
Yu'er stretched out her jade finger and touched Sun Quan's nose.
"Because you are a man!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu'er suddenly stared ahead and said,
"Is that here to pick you up?"
Sun Quan looked up, subconsciously thinking that his father Sun Jian had sent someone to pick him up, but soon, Sun Quan frowned.
"Not quite."
Sun Quan whispered to Yu'er. First of all, Sun Quan didn't know the leader of the team. Maybe Sun Quan didn't recognize all the generals under Sun Jian, but Sun Jian would send someone whom Sun Quan didn't know at all to pick him up? Secondly, the soldiers in front were wearing standard Han-style military uniforms, without the unique color markings of his Sun family army.
In other words, the soldiers in front were either Luyang City's original team or soldiers from other places. But if they are soldiers from other places, they usually come out to escort big shots. Then why does this so-called big shot ride a horse instead of a carriage?
On the official road, neither of them spoke, and they passed each other quietly. However, just as they passed each other, Sun Quan couldn't help but speak,
"How many military masters came from Luyang?"
"Where we come from is none of your business! Get out of here, you little brat!" a soldier replied directly.
"Master, don't be angry. It's like this. I'm from Luyang. I heard that Luyang was recently occupied by Sun Jian, and Sun Jian rebelled again. I was a little worried about the situation at home, so I rushed back in desperation, but I don't know what's happening now. What is the situation in Luyang?" Sun Quan explained.
