If we say that two days before Sun Quan disappeared with more than 10,000 soldiers, various princes were still playing the game of "Where is Sun Quan?" and looking for him everywhere. So during this period of time, the princes from all walks of life are like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers. They have mastered Sun Quan's whereabouts through their own means!
Well, that's true on the surface.
"Aren't you playing with fire?"
Deep in a certain jungle, Dou Yuru asked Sun Quan very puzzledly.
Sun Quan stretched out his palms, did some stretching exercises, and said,
"A person's hands are only so long. No matter how powerful he is, the reach is very limited. In addition, people like to have preconceived ideas. They are always used to believing what they believe."
Breaking it into parts was Sun Quan's last resort. After all, where could such a large demand for food and grass be found in such a short time? However, although food and grass could not be found, it could not stop Sun Quan from being rich. Having been operating in Jiangdong for so many years, the three generations of the Sun family only know how to fight and have never been extravagant. Therefore, they took enough money and distributed it to each soldier, allowing them to go out in batches to various villages and towns to survive for a month. , Sun Quan can still do it easily.
There are more than 10,000 soldiers, even if they are dispersed, but if they go to one place or one direction, the pressure on the town on that side will be great, and they will be easily discovered.
Therefore, Sun Quan used a small trick to make different arrangements for different people, making each party think that they were the main force, lurking in the target place, waiting for Sun Quan's call at any time to launch a surprise attack.
Then, there was the current situation and Dou Yuru's current problems. Sun Quan dispersed his troops in such a way that the troops on either side were very weak and could not be assembled in a short period of time. Once discovered and seen through by the enemy, it is difficult to imagine what serious consequences it would have! Isn't this playing with fire?
"What do you mean? I don't understand." Dou Yuru seemed a little confused about Sun Quan's answer.
"What Zhongmou means is that when he disappears, all the princes must be very nervous, worried that Zhongmou will suddenly appear near their territory with his troops, and with this preconceived idea, they send people to investigate. As a result, they really found clues, so they will naturally believe that this is the truth." Diao Chan explained to Dou Yuru, "In addition, the princes are the most concerned about their territories and have the most scouts. The weaker their intelligence and control capabilities are, so they must prioritize discovering problems around them and not pay attention to other places."
"That can't guarantee that everything will be foolproof, right?" Dou Yuru couldn't help but say.
"It is true that there is no guarantee that everything is foolproof." Diao Chan nodded, "But if you put yourself in Yuan Shao's shoes, if you were Yuan Shao and received multiple pieces of information at the same time, one said that Sun Quan came to the north and the other said that Sun Quan went to the south, then you would believe it. Which one? You must think that Sun Quan must have come to sneak attack you. That in the south was just a cover deliberately put out by Sun Quan. Otherwise, how could he have discovered it so easily? In contrast, the intelligence in the north was that he took the initiative to send people to investigate. It comes out, so it is more credible! No matter how bad it is, it is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not there." Diao Chan said.
"That's it." Dou Yuru nodded deeply. Sun Quan, a young boy, is quite good at playing with people's hearts.
"However, there is one thing that I don't understand." This time, it was Diao Chan who asked, "You can indeed deceive all the princes, including your own Jiangdong people, but among them, one of them must be your real target. You If you care about Yizhou, then you should go to Yizhou; if you are worried about Xuzhou, then you should go to Xuzhou; if you want to seize Xudu, then you should stay near Xudu; if you want to stabilize the rear, then you should return to Jiangdong. But we are now What does this mean?" Diao Chan asked, but Sun Quan didn't choose any of them, which really made her unable to understand.
"Why do you all have so many questions?" Sun Quan shook his head and suddenly turned around and said, "Chen Wu, if you have any questions, just ask them all."
Chen Wu probably didn't expect that he could intervene in such a conversation. He was a little flattered and a little nervous, so he quickly bowed and replied,
"I don't have any problems with my subordinates. I will do whatever my lord says!"
"Look, how nice this is." Sun Quan couldn't help but turn back to Diao Chan.
"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you." Diao Chan looked at Sun Quan and replied, but seeing Diao Chan's eyes that didn't want to let him go, Sun Quan had no choice but to spread his hands.
"Okay, I've got you covered, curious baby."
Diao Chan blushed, and Sun Quan always gave her some incomprehensible nicknames in front of other people. Diao Chan could only look at Sun Quan with anger.
"Before I answer your question, please take a look at this." Sun Quan handed the first note to Diao Chan. After Diao Chan took it, her face straightened. Before she could speak, Sun Quan handed over another note.
"Look at this again."
Then the third one,
"and this."
Several in a row.
And Diao Chan's face became more and more ugly, and she frowned and said,
"Why didn't you say any of this?"
It turned out that these notes contained information about various places in Jiangdong, and they were bad information.
What about the locust plague in Huainan, what about the plague in Jingnan, and a certain leader in Shanyue was incited to cause rebellion, and there were also charges of collusion between a certain official and Yuan Shao. . . . . .
At this time, Jiangdong is no longer just a four-front battle. It is clearly full of internal and external troubles and is riddled with holes! Diao Chan really admires Sun Quan. He is still calm at this time? !
Diao Chan took a deep breath,
"How do you plan to resolve this situation?"
Sun Quan was so calm, so he must have had a countermeasure.
"No solution." Sun Quan shrugged.
Diao Chan's face changed drastically.
"No solution?!"
So what now? Giving up on yourself?
"Oh, that's why I don't want to be the lord." Sun Quan sighed, "This is not even half of the world. There are so many things happening every day. It's hard to imagine, what are those people trying to conquer the world for? I'm afraid all day long I can’t sleep, I’m worried about being poisoned and assassinated, I’m worried about someone rebelling!”
"Zhongmou, I know you are suffering, but if you achieve great things, you will help the world. The people of the world need you, and the great men need you!" Diao Chan grabbed Sun Quan's arm and said.
"Don't worry." Sun Quan patted Diao Chan's hand, "I'm just complaining. The Sun family still needs me, and it's not time for me to give up. Although there is no solution to this situation, there is actually no need to solve it. Wise man No matter how much you think about, you will inevitably make a mistake. Sometimes, if all the mechanisms are exhausted, it will lead to a dead end."
Diao Chan was startled, and suddenly she had a realization in her heart.
"you mean......"
"I am now in a difficult situation. If I move one piece, I will lose the whole game. In this case, it is better not to play this game for the time being." Sun Quan said.
"I don't understand. If we can't win this game, we won't lose." Dou Yuru was confused when she heard this.
"As long as I don't make a move, no one on the other side will dare to make a move. So, wait until the other side dies first!" Sun Quan said.
Regardless of whether Sun Quan appears in Yizhou or Xuzhou, it may lead to a disastrous defeat for the other side. Now, the only way to turn around is to delay. And taking advantage of this blank period of not being able to show up, Sun Quan still has things to do.
