Master, if two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Since Sun Quan is going to fight Tong Yuan, why don't we take the opportunity to make a plan to keep Sun Quan in Yecheng? "A disciple suggested.
Xiaodini replied without thinking,
"Without Sun Quan, who will rule the world? Who can rule the world?"
Xiaodini saw this clearly. In today's world, the person most likely to sweep away the princes is Sun Quan. Without Sun Quan, all nine states in the world would probably be in chaos within a few decades.
"So, what I want is never Sun Quan's death, what I want is a law-abiding Sun Quan!" Xiao Dini said, "Sun Quan's biggest weakness is that he is too emotional. But the Tao is ruthless, and I am worried that Sun Quan will defeat Tong. Queen Yuan will reach an extraordinary level, and by then, this person will have no weaknesses!"
"Why is the master so sure that Sun Quan can defeat Tong Yuan?" asked the person below.
"Because he is Sun Quan and he doesn't fight uncertain battles!" Xiao Di Ni said.
"But even if Sun Quan can defeat Tong Yuan, he is so extraordinary, how can he be greedy for power?" asked an elder.
"Being transcendental means not being bound and being able to follow one's will. There are three thousand avenues, all of which lead to the same destination. In my opinion, the final destinations reached by Taoists, Buddhists, and demons are actually the same. Different people will arrive at the destination if they think differently. At the end, what they will do will be different,” Xiaodini said.
Everyone looked solemn,
"Taoism is inaction, Buddhism helps the world. Apart from these two families, no one else can be allowed to reach the end. Otherwise, it may become a catastrophe in the world!"
"That's right!" Xiaodini nodded, "So we must prevent Sun Quan from fighting with Tong Yuan. We can't just focus on Tong Yuan, Sun Quan must also use some tricks."
"But Sun Quan is hiding in Yecheng and his whereabouts are erratic. What should he do?" asked an elder.
"Cause him some trouble and distract him. If you can force him to rush back to Jiangdong, that would be the best." Xiao Di Ni blinked his eyes.

Xuchang,
"My lord, this is a secret message from Cihang Jingzhai."
"oh?"
Cao Cao opened it and showed it to his advisers.
"It says that Sun Quan is not in Jiangdong at the moment and will not be able to return in a short time."
"My lord, Cihang Jingzhai is diverting trouble to the east. As soon as he saw us sending troops to Xiangyang, he immediately hinted us to attack Jiangdong." A counselor immediately said.
"Lord, this is Cihang Jingzhai's plan, but the content above is probably not false." Xun Yu reminded.
If this matter cannot withstand scrutiny, then Cihang Jingzhai's method is too inferior. In fact, various parties have long had various speculations about Sun Quan's current situation, and Cihang Jingzhai's letter is equivalent to making a conclusion on this matter.
"It doesn't matter where Sun Quan went. In other words, now is indeed the best time to attack Jiangdong?" Cao Cao pondered.
What’s the point of attacking Jingzhou? It's just a matter of strengthening yourself a little, and this kind of growth is still risky, because it is very likely to hurt the enemy a thousand times and damage yourself eight hundred. On the other hand, Jiangdong has been recuperating, with the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind. In the end, even if Cao Cao really captured Jingzhou, he might have taken advantage of Sun Quan, the oriole.
Therefore, in comparison, if you can strengthen yourself while weakening Jiangdong's strength, then in the long run, it will be most beneficial to Cao Cao!
"Sun Xiaomei competes in martial arts to attract brides, attracting talents from all over the world to come to Wu Commandery. The world is like this, let alone Jiangdong? My lord, as far as I know, many young generals from Jiangdong have recently rushed to Wu Commandery. Although there are still veteran generals in the garrison there, But without the center, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!" Guo Jia analyzed.
"Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Jiangdong Army is blatantly recuperating because they believe that no one in the world dares to provoke them at this time. This moment is also a good opportunity!" Xun You said.
"Even if Sun Quan is not here, Zhou Yu happens to have returned to Jiangdong." Another counselor reminded him.
"Zhou Yu has no worries." Jia Xu said, "Of course, it's not that I underestimate Zhou Yu. It's just that Sun Quan has appointed Zhou Yu as the Grand Governor and is in charge of the military and political power of Yizhou. At this time, who dares to let Zhou Yu cross the border and command the troops in Jiangdong? So? , even if Zhou Yu is in Jiangdong, he can only watch helplessly."
"Also, Jiangdong must try his best to conceal Sun Quan's absence, otherwise people's hearts will be shaken. This may be an opportunity for us to take advantage of." Cheng Yu added.
"Haha!" Cao Cao laughed, "It seems that everyone agrees with me attacking Jiangdong!"
"Sail against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."
"What about Jingzhou?"
"Jingzhou is operating as usual. It's better to keep this fat piece of Jingzhou in your own hands. Just in time, this move can also make the people of Jiangdong relax their vigilance." Cao Cao decided, "It's just that the Jiangdong defense line is so big, where to choose? As a target?”
••••••
Jiangdong,
"Have you heard? Cao Cao sent troops to attack Xiangyang, and Liu Bei took the initiative to attack. The two sides are already fighting at Bowangpo."
"Really? Haha, just let them bite each other, saving me, Jiangdong, from having to deal with them one by one in the future."
"By the way, didn't Liu Bei come to Jiangdong? Who is joining the challenge at Bowangpo?"
"It is said that he is the Zhuge Liang from before."
"Ha, you're that young boy who only knows how to talk and talk? Liu Bei really has no one left."
"But you probably don't know yet, Liu Bei is extremely shameless. I heard from people that he seems to be planning to enter the ring to compete in martial arts to find a bride."
"What? There are such shameless people in the world?!"
"How old is he? Does he still know how to write the word shame?"
"This Liu Da'er, I'm afraid he wants to be related to the general and ask him to help him rescue him."
"If I were the general, see if I don't kill him directly!"
"Don't worry, I have so many talented people in Jiangdong, someone will take action. Just wait and see the good show."
••••••
Half a month later,
In the suburbs of Yecheng, four people faced each other.
On one side are Sun Quan and Zhen Mi, on the other side are Tong Yuan and Zhao Yun.
"A lot of things have happened recently. I thought you wouldn't come." Sun Quan said. Sun Quan could feel that there was a big hand behind his back, preventing him from meeting Tong Yuan.
On such an important occasion, Sun Quan naturally had to use the Thinking Skill to simulate it beforehand, so now he actually knew who was behind the scenes.
"No one in the world can stop me, Tong Yuan!" Tong Yuan said extremely proudly, but Tong Yuan's words also showed in disguise that someone was indeed preventing him from coming to Yecheng, but this resistance was ignored by Tong Yuan.
Sun Quan crossed Tong Yuan and glanced at Zhao Yun behind him. Although Tong Yuan appeared as he wished, Zhao Yun's appearance showed that Tong Yuan did not "ignore" the resistance as he said.
This old guy deliberately kept his hand open. It seemed that subconsciously, he was not as confident as he showed.
However, Changshan Zhao Zilong is indeed a variable.
"Such a grand event is rare in a century. Can you allow me to observe it?"
At this time, Xiaodini, as a third party, slowly appeared alone.
