"Brother, do you want Lu Bu to appear or not?" Sun Quan asked.
"Of course I hope he shows up!" Sun Ce said matter-of-factly, "If Lu Bu doesn't come, wouldn't our plan be in vain?!"
"What? Second brother, are you scared?" Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan and said.
Yes, they were plotting against Lu Bu this time, but during the time when Lu Bu just appeared and before the encirclement was formed, the brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan were still in certain danger. Moreover, even if Lu Bu is on the verge of death after the encirclement, he does not rule out the possibility of a last-ditch fight. At that time, Lu Bu's side will fight in a life-threatening way. If Lu Bu is holding him to death, he will have to drag someone into the water, or take someone with him. The idea of Sun Quan being a hostage and the risk Sun Quan faces are actually quite high.
Therefore, Sun Ce would not be surprised at all if Sun Quan said that he was afraid.
However, what Sun Quan was really thinking about was not this.
"I just think that Lu Bu will be so gullible?" Sun Quan couldn't help but said, "Of course, judging from Lu Bu's character, he is indeed gullible. But in this way, any plan can be successful, wouldn't this war? Is it too easy to fight? I know that everyone has weaknesses. Military warfare is never a matter of one person. Lu Bu also has many talents under his command. Not to mention directly confirming that we have a conspiracy, at least suspicion is inevitable. .”
"There are always risks in war, and you never know what the enemy is really thinking. If you attack, you can think of it as a feint, or if you retreat, you can think of it as a false retreat. If you are so hesitant and timid, you are not qualified to be on the battlefield. General!" Sun Ce replied, "There is often a difference between decisiveness and arbitrary decision-making. At this time, the more confident a person is, the easier it is to fall into the trap."
"That's not what I meant." Sun Quan shook his head, "I'm not saying that Lu Bu will hesitate and choose not to come. What I want to say is, if Lu Bu comes, will he be prepared? He also has to guard against the possibility of a trap. Sex, right?”
"Then what would Lu Bu do if he wanted to be prepared?" Sun Ce asked Sun Quan.
"If it were me, I would divide the troops into two groups and deliberately leave one unit to suppress the rear. If the front army is really surrounded, the rear army will immediately attack from behind, cooperate inside and outside, and rush out a bloody road. Or, make further preparations, At the same time, send people to feint attack in front of the main camp." Sun Quan said.
"Second brother, your idea is good." Sun Ce nodded appreciatively, "Although I can't say that there is anything wrong with your idea, have you ever thought about it. If the troops are divided into two groups, or even into three groups, then each group will The number of troops will become very small. On the whole, this arrangement is certainly correct, but everyone is afraid of death, or at least does not want to die. If you are in the former army, and you are worried about being trapped , then are you willing to place your hopes on the rear army, which may change at any time? Or bring all the strength with you to feel at ease?"
This is the difference in the two people's views on the issue caused by their completely different perspectives. Because Sun Ce was willing to lead troops and fight as a vanguard, he habitually looked at problems from the first perspective and thought about what he would do in the army. But Sun Quan is different. At present, Sun Quan still has the mentality of playing a strategy game, completely from God's perspective, without involving himself in it. Of course, Sun Quan may have more rational ideas and a higher success rate, but such Sun Quan sees overall success and completely ignores individual damage.
Just like when playing chess, what if I abandon a rook in order to capture the opponent's handsomeness? But what if you are that car? Can you sacrifice your life for righteousness?
"So, brother, what do you mean, brother, if Lu Bu comes, he will either rush over recklessly, or he will rush over cautiously with a large force?" Sun Quan said.
Sun Ce nodded,
"Yes, there will be no other possibility. Splitting the troops into two groups is far from as simple as you think. The test is not only trust, but also cooperation. Lu Bu is arrogant. He may trust the loyalty of others, but he cannot You must trust the strength of others. Instead of placing your hope on the weak, it would be more practical for him to do it himself!" Sun Ce said, "Second brother, you have just joined the army, so your thinking will naturally be different from ours. However, you also Don’t think you are wrong because of this. If you think about the problem from another angle, you may be able to see the things that people like us tend to overlook.”
"Brother, please stop comforting me. It seems that I still have a lot to learn." Sun Quan smiled bitterly.
"Hahaha!" Sun Ce patted Sun Quan on the shoulder, "It's okay. I was far behind you when I first came here. I believe that in the near future, you and I will be able to sweep the world!"
"Yes! Sweep the world!" Sun Quan also shouted in response.
After a conversation, the two brothers felt as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood and were completely sleepless. After the grain transport team advanced some distance, Lu Bujun finally appeared.
Upon discovering the enemy, Sun Quan immediately used his skills to simulate it.
A second later, Sun Quan came out of the illusion of thinking twice and found that things were far from as simple as he imagined - Lu Bu was here, but it wasn't just Lu Bu who was here!
In the illusion, Sun Quan determined some very important information. Lu Bu's army detoured from the south of Sun Jian's base camp. After being surrounded, another enemy army appeared in the north and made a surprise attack on the back of the third unit of the Jiangdong Army led by Huang Gai.
By the end of the illusion, Lu Bu's army had suffered heavy losses, and Huang Gai's third unit had also suffered heavy losses. What was originally a beautiful siege battle ended up turning into a critical battle in which the enemy was injured one thousand and himself suffered eight hundred losses. Moreover, by the time Sun Quan exited the illusion, the two sides had not yet decided the winner. It is still unclear what the final outcome will be!
But at least Sun Quan can be sure that the enemy army that appeared in the north was completely unexpected by their side!
Unfortunately, there were no telephones for contact in this era, and the information Sun Quan could obtain was very limited. He didn't even know who came from the north. However, Sun Quan did not gain anything from this illusion simulation. Not only did he determine in advance that there was an enemy army in the north, Sun Quan also discovered that the enemy army in the north did not seem to be completely on the same side as Lu Bu's army.
Because the enemy forces in the north were obviously not aiming to rescue Lu Bu, they were mainly aiming to directly attack the Jiangdong Army. Otherwise, within an hour, how could they not have joined Lu Bu's army yet? Otherwise, how could Lu Bujun be so seriously injured? The enemy forces in the north didn't care about Lu Bu's life or death at all. They allowed Lu Bu to withstand most of the attacks, while they secretly took advantage from behind.
In Sun Quan's words, this is an act of giving up one of his own rooks in order to eat the handsome guy on the opposite side. Sun Quan was the bait to lure Lu Bu, and now, Lu Bu has become the bait to lure the entire Jiangdong Army!
Of course, it doesn't matter what problems arise within the enemy. What matters is, what should Sun Quan do now? Do you really want to abandon Huang Gai and kill Lu Bu?
