Did he choose to kill Lu Bu? Or choose to save Huang Gai?
Of course, it would be best if we could kill Lu Bu and save Huang Gai at the same time. Unfortunately, at present, there is basically a contradiction between the two.
No, it's not actually a contradiction, because Huang Gai is actually able to save himself. When Huang Gai was suddenly attacked by an enemy on his back, if Huang Gai chose to flee, as long as he fled in the direction of Lu Yang, the enemy would not dare to pursue him too far. But Huang Gai didn't do that, he continued to stick to his position! Huang Gai knew very well that once he left, there would be a gap in the encirclement of Lu Bu. If Lu Bu was allowed to join the enemy forces in the north, the consequences would be even more disastrous!
If Huang Gaijun hadn't had this idea of taking the overall situation into consideration, it would have been impossible for Huang Gaijun to suffer such heavy losses in just one hour.
Therefore, at this time, Sun Quan did not need to worry at all. He had only one choice. Even if Lu Bu doesn't die this time, he will die sooner or later. The only difference is whose hands he dies in. But once Huang Gai is gone, there will be no more! Does Jiangdong Army lack such a fierce general?
With the decision made, the next step was how to do it. Sun Quan immediately entered the second illusion simulation.
A second later, Sun Quan came out of the second think twice and once again confirmed some details that he had not noticed in the first illusion: For example, Lu Bu did not bring the red rabbit horse tonight. He was riding only an ordinary good horse. When he came out, Lu Bu was wary, or someone under his command reminded him of this weakness. Out of caution, Lu Bu left Chitu at the base camp.
Without Red Rabbit, Lu Bu lost a certain amount of mobility, but he also lost his biggest weakness. The possibility of strangling Lu Bu tonight became even weaker. So Sun Quan strengthened his belief and prepared to do something even more extreme!
Before entering the second fantasy simulation, Sun Quan was only thinking about how to save Huang Gai, but at this moment, Sun Quan was thinking about how to save Huang Gai and win a beautiful battle at the same time!
Sun Quan's idea was very simple. Of course, he couldn't make any more arrangements in a short time. Since Lu Bu is destined to be unable to be killed this time, why should he still fight Lu Bu? As long as Lu Bu can be lured away, Lu Bu can directly escape from the encirclement, and the freed Jiangdong Army can in turn outflank the enemy forces in the north. To put it in military terms, didn't this battle turn into a beautiful encirclement and reinforcement campaign? !
It seems that they are pretending to besiege Lu Bu, but in fact, the target is the reinforcements from the north!
However, although Sun Quan's idea is good, it is not that simple to implement, because who will listen to him? Before the intelligence about the appearance of enemy forces in the north was confirmed, Jiangdong Army worked hard to make preparations and finally surrounded Lu Bu. Who was willing to give up this great opportunity? In addition, even if traces of the enemy forces in the north are discovered, the Jiangdong Army represented by Sun Jian may not be willing to give up for a while.
Lu Bu's value is too great, this benefit is too tempting, and the strong have confidence. Lu Bu is confident, why is Sun Jian not confident anymore? In short, it depends on the resistance ability of Huang Gai's army. As long as Huang Gai's army can hold on for a while longer and completely defeat Lu Bu's army in the encirclement, by then, if the enemy army in the north has not fled with its tail between its legs, what awaits him? It will only be destruction!
Sun Jian's subordinates, whether Cheng Pu, Han Dang or Huang Gai, are all very decisive people. In small matters, they might betray Sun Quan to save face, but when it came to big issues, whether Sun Quan tried to raise his status or reason with them, it was of no use. This is also the fundamental reason why Sun Quan always wanted to lead his own troops.
Only with military power in hand can we do whatever we want, at least at the moment of action, we don’t need to explain the reasons to anyone!
Tonight, if Sun Quan wants to achieve his goal, he may have to resort to some means.

north,
Hua Xiong personally led the troops and lurked quietly.
"Lü Bu attacked from the south. He brought so many people with him this time. It is basically impossible to completely cover up the traces. Once Sun Jian's scouts discover the whereabouts of Lu Bu's troops, all the attention of Jiangdong Army will be focused on the south. We will definitely neglect our precautions here." Old God Hua Xiong said calmly.
This is a very rare trick. The key to this battle is to defeat Sun Jian and make Hua Xiong famous all over the world. Taking advantage of this free time, how could Hua Xiong not scold Fang Qiu? !
"Since the general has determined that this is Sun Jian's trap, why didn't he remind Lu Bu?" one of his subordinates asked.
Of course, it is impossible for ordinary confidants to ask such questions. After all, Hua Xiong is not the lord. His actions are still monitored by Dong Zhuo, and many actions need to be explained to Dong Zhuo. For example, today, if Lu Bu really died and Hua Xiong returned home with victory, he would have to find an explanation. Therefore, although Hua Xiong was angry when someone asked such a question, he was not surprised.
"First of all, who can be sure that this must be Sun Jian's trap? I am just guessing. Since it is a guess, do you think Lu Bu has not thought about this possibility? Otherwise, he would not have led so many troops there this time "Secondly, if this is really Sun Jian's conspiracy, if Lu Bu doesn't show up, will Sun Jian attack rashly? It makes no sense for him to close the Internet cafe before he even sees the fish." Hua Xiong said.
"Even if Lu Bu doesn't listen, we can still inform Lu Bu of our actions in advance." The man said again.
If Lu Bu had known in advance that there were allies in the north, he would have been much calmer when encountering an encirclement, and would have made a clear-cut breakthrough to the north. This is true, but does Hua Xiong want to see such a result? Not to mention the personal grudge between Hua Xiong and Lu Bu, even if Hua Xiong did not want to kill Lu Bu, his purpose was not to save Lu Bu. Hua Xiong came to beat Sun Jian!
What's the point of letting Lu Bu break out and join him? By then, the two sides may not be able to fight. Only if Lu Bu fights to the death in the encirclement and fights to the death, this war will not stop and there will be a winner!
"First, with Lu Bu's character, if I told him my actions in advance, I would definitely anger him and be detrimental to our cooperation. Second, if we want to perfectly deceive our enemies, we must first deceive our allies as well. On the one hand, the more people who know, the easier it is to leak the news. The more important reason is that once Lu Bu behaves abnormally, Sun Jian may notice that there is an ambush behind him. Am I going to let this rare opportunity fall by the wayside!" Hua Xiong said.
"The general is wise!"
Soon, a scout returned to report,
"Jiang Dongjun has been dispatched!"
"very good!"
Hua Xiong stood up,
"Everyone, get ready, we will take action in a quarter of an hour!"
"yes!"
······
This side,
The grain transport troops met Lu Bu's army.
Although it was still dark, the faces on both sides could still be faintly seen in the light of the fire.
"Sun Quan! Your death has come!"
"withdraw!"
Sun Ce, Sun Quan and others followed the plan and did not make any resistance at all. They directly abandoned the food and grass and fled in the direction they came from. Cheng Pu's troops, who had been secretly following them not far behind, were the backbone of the resistance against Lu Bu's army.
However, at the beginning of the escape, something happened here.
"Second brother! Wrong! It's not over there!"
