Therefore, it is too risky and not cost-effective to insist on this kind of thing. Since Sun Quan couldn't defeat Lu Bu who went berserk after being injured, then why bother fighting him again after Lu Bu was injured? As long as Sun Quan can escape from the injured Lu Bu, it will be of great significance to the direction of the war.
Just kidding, that's a full two-blood damage. If it were Sun Quan, it would normally take two months to recover, let alone Lu Bu? Lu Bu can't just go berserk. Once he survives the rampage period and lets Lu Bu retreat, the next time they fight, Sun Quan will face a really injured and weakened version of Lu Bu!
If you don’t deliberately pursue perfection, the final result may be closer to perfection. What you can't do once is often easier to do twice.
There is really no need for Sun Quan to worry about how to kill Lu Bu in one go, let alone to cling to the false reputation of being the most powerful general in the world. If Sun Quan can defeat Lu Bu at the height of his power this time with Guangling alone, then his deterrent effect on the heroes of the world will definitely be much greater than defeating Lu Bu head-on one-on-one!
Otherwise, why would the world know that Lu Bu was the most powerful general in the world, but all the princes could not wait to take care of Lu Bu's wool? In the final analysis, Lu Bu's force is not as terrifying as imagined!
Ever since, Sun Quan made a prompt decision.
He did not bet on Lu Bu's true thoughts, and did not consider whether Lu Bu was marching hastily or slowly. If nothing else happens, he will decide the outcome the next day!
The plan is very simple. First, injure Lu Bu twice, then escape from the rampaging Lu Bu. Then, wait for Lu Bu to retreat and recuperate, and then take advantage of the situation to leave the city to pursue. In this way, the one who really needs to worry is no longer Lu Bu, but the ambush army Lu Bu deployed in advance.
"At the latest tonight, you must find out the situation of Lu Bu's other ambush troops! If you do it, you will be promoted to the third level. If you can't complete it, then just wait for my disposal!"
At the end of the meeting, Sun Quan suddenly said such harsh words, which really shocked the audience. Especially the general in charge of intelligence and scouting immediately stood up and responded,
"My subordinates will immediately take people to investigate in person!"
"I look forward to hearing good news from you."
······
On this side, Sun Quan faced the invasion of Lu Bu's army and unexpectedly found a way to retreat from the enemy. Sun Quan had no idea that everything was going smoothly for him, but he ran into problems where he was least worried.
Jiangdong, Wujun,
Diao Chan, who had been given an important task by Sun Quan and was about to make a big move, received a wake-up call on this day. What can cause a blow to Diao Chan, who is fully supported by Sun Quan, is obviously not the pressure from the Jiangdong nobles. Diao Chan has experienced many hardships and has long been indomitable. The only reason why she can't continue is Cihang Jingzhai.
A letter.
The letter written by Shangguan Di, the contemporary owner of Cihang Jingzhai, wrote very simply: Yuan Shu is dead, the culprit has been executed, all the people have been brought back, and the mountain has been sealed.
This was a strategy made by Shi Zimiao back then. Unless there was a disaster that would overthrow the Han Dynasty, Cihang Jingzhai would close the mountain door tightly and not come out. Shangguan Di planned to resolutely implement Shi Zimiao's legacy, so as soon as Yuan Shu died, he immediately ordered his people to return to the mountain, no longer paying attention to the disputes among the princes in the world, and would not take the initiative to support a certain prince, even if that side was Sun Quan!
Cihang Jingzhai's beheading of Yuan Shu this time is believed to have brought enough shock to the princes of the world. Therefore, no matter who unites the world in the future, they will probably not dare to proclaim themselves emperor easily again. As long as Cihang Jingzhai lasts for a day, then the Han Dynasty will not fall for a day!
In addition, Cihang Jingzhai does not support anyone, only maintains a neutral approach, and will not make enemies among the princes of the world. This allows Cihang Jingzhai disciples to practice without being disturbed, while also giving them a period of renewal and growth. In a sense, this is indeed an excellent strategy that allows Cihang Jingzhai to survive for a long time.
However, Shangguan Di's decision completely stalled Sun Quan's plan to tie Cihang Jingzhai to himself. Shangguan Di is not tempted by Sun Quan's interests. No matter how big your Jiangdong cake is, she Shangguan Di won't want it. The whole body was affected by the pull, and once without the support of Cihang Jingzhai, Sun Quan's selection department would be unable to let go and carry out drastic reforms. After all, if you uproot a group of people, you won't be able to find talents to replace them for a while.
At the same time, without Cihang Jingzhai in charge, Sun Quan also lost a sign. Cihang Jingzhai gave Sun Quan the greatest benefit. In addition to their talent support, their reputation for fairness and justice was also crucial. If you do not have enough prestige to convince the public, no matter how justified you are, others will think that you are looking for an excuse to eradicate dissidents. Once most people think this way, people will be panicked and the country will collapse.
The news that Cihang Jingzhai was preparing to evacuate had not yet reached Sun Quan's ears, but some phenomena were enough to attract Sun Quan's attention.
Later that day,
"Report~~There is a civil commotion in the east of the city."
"Send people to suppress it immediately. Special measures are taken during special times. Now we must ensure internal stability!" Sun Quan said in a deep voice, but his expression was a little bad because this was the third time today.
"Zhong Mou, as soon as Lu Bu came, there were people making trouble one after another. There must be someone behind the scenes. We cleaned up most of Guangling's officialdom as soon as we came. It seems that many people are dissatisfied." Wu Jing said to Sun Quan.
"It's natural to be dissatisfied. Now they just find an opportunity. After Lu Bu retreats, it seems that there will be a round of purges." Sun Quan said coldly. To cause trouble for him at this time is simply asking for death!
"But in that case, our manpower may not be enough." Wu Jing reminded in a low voice.
Sun Quan frowned,
"Where are the officials sent by Jiangdong?"
Sun Quan has always had a consciousness: Will there be fewer people in the world who want to be officials? No matter how much you scold or disdain him, if you really put the opportunity in front of him, I believe that most people will agree to become an official. This is the official consciousness that has been engraved in the bones of the people for countless years.
Yes, Sun Quan also knows that talents are hard to find, but some officials at the lowest level don't need too much talent, right? Low-level officials may not be talented, but as long as they have virtue, this is one of the reasons why Sun Quan fully supported Cihang Jingzhai. The spiritual construction of Cihang Jingzhai is indeed quite good.
"The people here are all a group of young people. Normally, it's fine. But if something goes wrong, they might be embarrassed." Wu Jing said tactfully. He knew very well that the selection department was established by Sun Quan in front of him, so Wu Jing naturally had a hard time. What a disparagement. But Wu Jing's meaning is also very clear. He looks down on these young people. It doesn't matter if young people practice their skills in the stable rear area, but in this important front line, a few experienced people must come first to stabilize the situation. What does it mean to send a group of young people over?
This made Sun Quan a little surprised. It stands to reason that Diao Chan would not be ignorant of propriety in doing things, and shouldn't be so extreme. Could it be that something went wrong? Sun Quan didn't have time to think about it carefully. Of course, he couldn't find Diao Chan immediately to find out the situation. As a result, at this moment, another news came.
"Yuan Shu's subordinates Zhang Xun and Yang Hong came to surrender with their followers!"
"oh?"
Sun Quan and Wu Jing looked at each other and stood up with surprise on their faces.
