Thinking of this, Sun Quan thought that he might have to change his strategy.
If only the Demon Sect is looking for Sun Ce, and only the Demon Sect knows that Sun Ce is not dead, then Sun Quan only needs to find a way to get the people from the Demon Sect to withdraw. Without the pursuit of the Demon Sect and no one else knowing about this matter, Sun Ce would naturally be safe and be able to return to Jiangdong soon.
In contrast, taking the initiative to find someone might expose Sun Ce, or even frighten Sun Ce, making him suspicious and afraid to show up.
However, the situation has become complicated now. Sun Quan was very distrustful of the disciples of the Demon Sect. He believed that when Dou Yuru sent people out to look for Sun Ce, the news that Sun Ce might still be alive had been exposed with a high probability. At this time, even if the Demon Sect disciples are withdrawn, there will still be people from other forces secretly looking for Sun Ce, which is quite detrimental to Sun Ce's safety.
So, what should we do?
It is definitely not a good idea to send a large number of people out when Sun Ce's whereabouts are uncertain. Regardless of whether it will work or not, it is likely to make the situation extremely complicated.
But it won't work if you don't send people. If you don't send people, Sun Ce won't even have a helper. What if he is really found?
Therefore, there is currently one of the most conventional methods in front of Sun Quan, and that is to send people out, not to find Sun Ce, but to specifically sabotage and confront other forces. It doesn't matter if Sun Quan can't find Sun Ce this time, as long as no one else can find him, as long as Sun Ce is still hiding in the dark, he will be safe.
only. . . . . . This method also has disadvantages.
Sun Quan rubbed his brow. Not to mention that this will only cure the symptoms but not the root cause. I don’t know how long we will have to fight a protracted war. Just talking about this act alone will definitely focus the attention of the whole world on Sun Ce. By then, the whole world will know that Sun Ce is not dead. The consequences will come naturally.
First of all, the country has no two kings. Knowing that Sun Ce is not dead, those people with ulterior motives within Jiangdong will blatantly disobey Sun Quan's orders, and they will claim to only listen to Sun Ce. In addition, there are some die-hard Sun Ce factions, some people who are at odds with Sun Quan's politics, and when Sun Quan makes some overly radical decisions, he will face considerable resistance. By then, just dealing with internal problems would make Sun Quan very anxious. How could he still take care of the external world?
Secondly, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao knew that Sun Ce deliberately faked his death, and Jiang Dong had been watching eagerly from the side. Can they still fight for a while? In this way, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao did not have a decisive battle, but Sun Ce exposed himself to danger. Wasn't he being smart and self-defeating?
Therefore, under this situation, Sun Quan believed that conventional methods would definitely not work! He can only do some unconventional operations.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan went out and left. Originally, according to Sun Quan's plan, after the situation in Lujiang stabilized, he should immediately lead his troops to Jiangxia, join forces with Zhou Yu, and destroy Huang Zu together. If everything goes well, we can enter Jingzhou in one go. It's a pity that Sun Quan can only stay in Lujiang for a while longer. I believe there will be no problem with Zhou Yu.
After going out, Sun Quan first came to a hidden place and left a password. Then after thinking about it, he went in the direction of Dou Yuru.
Although he has no skills today, Sun Quan still has to see the woman as soon as possible for the sake of his eldest brother Sun Ce. In order to achieve Sun Quan's goal, he cannot do without the cooperation of the Demon Sect.
Arriving at the place where Dou Yuru was imprisoned or under house arrest,
"How is it? Is there any problem?" Sun Quan asked Zhou Tai. When he came here again, some pictures suddenly flashed through his mind. Sun Quan blushed and was quickly suppressed by him.
Daoxin is indeed a good thing. Sun Quan couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"She has been staying inside and is very honest." Zhou Tai replied.
Sun Quan nodded,
"You go down and rest first."
"How can this be done!" Zhou Tai said hurriedly.
Sun Quan smiled and patted Zhou Tai on the shoulder.
"As long as I'm here, you go and rest first. This time you may have to fight a protracted battle and recharge your batteries to avoid trouble," Sun Quan said.
"Yes." Zhou Tai nodded, but he still couldn't help but remind Sun Quan, "I hope my lord will be careful at all times."
"Don't worry, I have never lost to this woman."
After waiting for the soldiers outside to complete their shift change, Sun Quan entered the room where Dou Yuru was.
Seeing Sun Quan, Dou Yuru smiled coldly and said directly,
"You came to me now, don't you care about your elder brother's life or death?"
Good guy, if he hadn't already known the truth, Sun Quan would really have been deceived by this woman.
"There are only two of us here. Let's get straight to the point. My eldest brother is not dead yet, so you don't have to bluff me." Sun Quan sat down slowly.
Dou Yuru actually remained calm.
"It's true that your eldest brother is not dead, but that was before, it doesn't mean now. As long as I think, he may die at any time." Dou Yuru squinted her eyes and said, "You said straight to the point, well, aren't you here just for your eldest brother? Did I negotiate terms?"
Sun Quan shook his head,
"Sister Yu'er, you have been with me for so many years, don't you still understand me? You may be very good at lying, but you also have to see who is in front of you. I waited until now to come to you, don't you? Isn’t it enough to explain the problem?” Sun Quan said slowly.
After hearing this, Dou Yuru finally changed her expression, stood up immediately and said,
"Have you interrogated anyone else?! Who?!"
Dou Yuru wanted to see who Sun Quan had dealt cruelly to, and Dou Yuru wanted to see who betrayed her!
"It doesn't matter who it is, what's important is that I already know what I want to know." Sun Quan said lightly.
"Then why did you come to me?" Dou Yuru's expression froze, and then she sat down heavily in disinterest, with a self-deprecating smile on her face, "You came to see my joke on purpose, right?"
Sun Quan shook his head,
"I told you, let's get straight to the point. Of course I come here with sincerity. Do you think I will be that boring person? Since I came to you, I naturally want to cooperate with you." Sun Quan said seriously.
"Cooperation?" Dou Yuru raised her head and looked at Sun Quan to confirm that Sun Quan was not joking. She was stunned and suddenly laughed,
"How can I, a prisoner of this rank, be favored by the majestic Jiangdong overlord?"
"No force dares to underestimate the current Demon Sect." Sun Quan said, but this was not the reason why he chose to cooperate with the Demon Sect.
As a result, Sun Quan's seemingly complimentary words instantly stung a hornet's nest.
"What? Back then you chose Cihang Jingzhai without hesitation. Now that Cihang Jingzhai is gone, you think of me again?"
boom!
Dou Yuru slammed the table in front of her.
"Sun Zhongmou! What do you think I am? I, Dou Yuru, am not that cheap!"
