Seeing Yu Ji trying to take the opportunity to leave, although Sun Quan knew that the probability of success was low, he couldn't help but use the "Let me think twice" skill immediately.
The result, unsurprisingly, was unsatisfactory.
Although Sun Quan combined the power of Dou Yuru and Diao Chan and successfully kept Yu Ji in the Sansi illusion, until the end of the illusion, Sun Quan tried all means and could not pry a word out of Yu Ji's mouth. This old guy, tortured, coerced and lured, refused to eat anything, was not that easy to deal with.
So, very regretfully, in reality, Sun Quan could only let Yu Ji go.
"Zhongmou, what did you talk about? Is this Yu Ji secretly following us?" Diao Chan was the first to speak after the others walked away. Although the words were addressed to Sun Quan, Diao Chan's eyes were looking at Dou Yuru next to her.
Yes, Dou Yuru was too suspicious. If Dou Yuru hadn't lured Diao Chan here for an excuse, how could Yu Ji have had the opportunity to contact Sun Quan alone?
"Look what I'm doing! That old man has nothing to do with my demon sect!" Dou Yuru quickly replied.
A guilty conscience? Most people might think so, but Diao Chan knew that Dou Yuru probably wasn't lying, so she turned her head back to Sun Quan.
"Have you ever heard of the Stealer?" Sun Quan asked.
"Stealer?"
"The explanation may be slightly different, but in short, they are a group of foreigners who aim to steal the essence of our country, the Han Dynasty." Sun Quan explained.
"Unheard of." Diao Chan shook her head, "Maybe I'll find a chance to go back to Jingzhai and ask you."
"It's not necessary." Sun Quan immediately refused. Didn't Diao Chan fall into a trap when she went to Cihang Jingzhai? Can she still get out?
"I don't know much about foreigners. Maybe I can help you find out after this incident." Dou Yuru also said.
Sun Quan frowned,
"That's it..."
Sun Quan, who originally didn't trust Ji, now doesn't believe it even more. You know, it's not an exaggeration to say that the people here have gathered the most powerful intelligence network in the world. Maybe they don't know all the information, but they have never heard of it all. This thief may not have been hiding in the ground all this time.
Yu Ji's information was originally just a possibility, but now this possibility is put into question. Therefore, no matter how much Sun Quan wanted to find out the truth, in comparison, Sun Ce's children were more important on Tong Yuan's side.
On the one hand, it is a regret trying to make up for it, and on the other hand, it is trying not to let it become a regret.
Sun Quan was thinking about the choice here, but he failed to notice that on the opposite side, after Dou Yuru finished speaking, Diao Chan glanced at her without trace: Dou Yuru lied.
Dou Yuru's previous sentence, "Her demon sect has nothing to do with Yu Ji" is true, but this sentence is false.
Before, Diao Chan would definitely expose the other party immediately, but after reaching an agreement with Dou Yuru, Diao Chan finally chose not to say anything for the time being. Instinct tells Diao Chan that this incident will affect the state of the war between Sun Quan and Tong Yuan.
????????????
"Except for those fancy moves, there are three main killing moves in Tong Yuan's marksmanship. As far as we know, there are three moves. If you can't defeat these three moves, I suggest you not to fight with Tong Yuan."
"Even if you can crack these three tricks, no one knows how many trump cards Tong Yuan has. Your chance of defeating him is only 50% at most."
"Does it have to be cracked?"
"The moves are deadly, how can we not crack them!"
"What if it can't kill me? When two soldiers fight, the competition is who is more ruthless and faster. Even if I can't defeat his moves, as long as his moves can't kill me, and my moves can kill him, In the end, I win."
"Let me tell you, where did you get your confidence? Trading an injury for a life is not just about courage, but also years of experience. How can you be Tong Yuan's opponent in this aspect!"
"Yes, Zhongmou, it's better for us to be cautious. I think that for the current plan, we should first find a way to save people, and it's best not to fight if we can. In addition to how to win, we must also consider how to respond. Jiangdong!"
"That's the truth. When we came here, no one knew our movements all the way to the wilderness. But once we get there, we will be exposed to the eyes of the whole world. By then, I don't know how many people want to take the opportunity to kill you."
"Or, have you never thought about going back at all?"
"What are you guessing? I, Sun Zhongmou, never fight an uncertain battle. I have already prepared a way out."
????????????
Tianzhu Mountain was the place where Zhang Daoling ascended in the daytime. Tong Yuan chose this place to fight, which made Sun Quan somewhat guess about Tong Yuan's purpose. Of course, this is from the perspective of a pure warrior.
From a universal perspective, Tianzhu Mountain is located to the north of the Yangtze River, not far from the Lujiang River, and Sun Quan did not go deep into the tiger's den. However, to the north of Tianzhu Mountain is Cao Cao's territory, and on the other side of the mountain range is Jingzhou Cihang Jingzhai Base Camp. At least this place is not completely controlled by Sun Quan. Therefore, Sun Quan still took a considerable risk by going to Tianzhu Mountain to attend the meeting.
However, the most dangerous person in this incident is Sun Quan? No! It's Cao Cao!
In the north, south of the Yellow River, the front line where Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought.
Cao Ying,
"Lord, according to reports from our spies, there are currently a large number of Jiangdong troops, broken into pieces, pretending to be ordinary Jianghu people, and gathering near Tianzhu Mountain."
"That's right, over in Jiangdong, we got the news that Sun Quan attended the meeting alone."
"But when Sun Quan arrives at Tianzhu Mountain, should he go up the mountain to meet Tong Yuan? Or should he lead his troops to capture Xudu?"
The counselor drew a line on the map and saw that the distance between Tianzhu Mountain and Xudu was pitifully short! What's even more frightening is that all of Cao Cao's heavy troops are in the north, south of Xudu. Although there are troops, to put it bluntly, they are just old, weak, sick and disabled. How can they withstand the fierce attack of Jiangdong Army? !
For a moment, the scene was horribly depressing.
Who is Sun Quan? That was Sun Quan’s genius, who used troops like a god! Even Cao Cao often nags Sun Quan for not keeping his word and not teaching him "The Art of War". Today, Sun Quan is already the most powerful prince in the world. No one dares to underestimate him. Therefore, few people in Cao's camp would naively take chances and think that Sun Quan simply went to Tong Yuan's appointment. !
I just regret that I woke up too late!
It wasn't until it was discovered that too many unknown people gathered near Tianzhu Mountain that the world was shocked to realize Sun Quan's calculations and strategies.
"I must rush back to Xudu!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice. He knew better than anyone else how terrible Sun Quan was. Without Cao Cao personally taking charge, Xudu would surely fall! Even if I go back. Cao Cao also had no confidence that he could stop Sun Quan.
"Lord, no." Guo Jia advised from the side, "Now everything is just a guess, but if the lord makes a move, this guess will be confirmed, which will inevitably lead to panic among the people and chaos in the army. When Yuan Shao comes to attack, he will definitely be defeated. Falling like a mountain!"
Besides, if Cao Cao wants to return to Xudu, will he go back alone? How to stop Sun Quan without elite soldiers? But how can we stop Yuan Shao if we take away the elite soldiers?
Isn’t that unsolvable?
No. In Guo Jia's view, Yuan Shao's attack was real, but whether Sun Quan would attack Xu Du was still just speculation, or there were still variables. Now, only by stabilizing the morale of the military and not being in disarray can we have a glimmer of hope.
