Outside the house, Dou Yuru crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. When she saw Sun Quan coming out, she suddenly burst into laughter.
"What about the dumb fans? It's a pity that I understand." Dou Yuru smiled proudly.
"Do you understand the pillow talk between us husband and wife?" Sun Quan rolled his eyes angrily.
"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that that woman's skills are indeed different from what they used to be. I alone can't keep her at all. As for you, if she wants to leave, will you stop her?" Dou Yuru replied, " Therefore, she deliberately wanted to stay! She knew when she tried to assassinate you that it would be impossible to succeed."
"Hey, the Lord of the Demon Sect finally looks like the Lord of the Demon Sect." Sun Quan gave Dou Yuru a thumbs up.
"So, what do you think, just letting her go like this?" Dou Yuru asked Sun Quan.
"Don't worry about it. She can't hinder you anyway, right?" Sun Quan said.
Dou Yuru shook her head,
"I really don't know whether I should call you sentimental or stupid."
Today is different from the past.
When Diao Chan stayed with Sun Quan, she was going against the Demon Sect and did not want the Demon Sect to interfere with the core of the Han Dynasty in the future. At that time, Diao Chan firmly believed that Sun Quan would not proclaim himself emperor, but would only serve as a powerful minister. Therefore, Diao Chan wants to drive the Demon Sect away from Sun Quan.
But today, Diao Chan said that Sun Quan broke his promise. Therefore, Mo Bu Mo Sect became secondary, and Diao Chan had to give priority to dealing with Sun Quan, the rebellious minister and traitor who wanted to become emperor!
Diao Chan said that Sun Quan was smart, and Sun Quan said that he knew, so this was something that both of them knew well. Sun Quan knew very well that Diao Chan stayed here on purpose, and he knew Diao Chan's purpose. If Diao Chan stays, she will continue to look for opportunities to assassinate Sun Quan!
With Sun Quan's current skill, it would be difficult to kill him normally. Only by staying by his side for a long time can he find a chance when he is slacking off. Exactly, Sun Quan just gave Diao Chan this possibility. Do you think he is stupid?
That’s right, silly!
Sun Quan himself thought he was stupid! Sun Quan wanted to lie to himself, saying that he was a skilled and brave man, but if he asked himself, it was impossible for Sun Quan to prevent Diao Chan from assassinating him every time. Let me think twice, but that’s just thinking twice in advance. How can I think twice if I really let my guard down?
"Ask what love is in the world. Hey, let's not talk about it. There is something I am very curious about." Sun Quan suddenly turned around and asked Dou Yuru, "To avoid leaking the news, I didn't tell anyone about this matter, including many things. The people around me look at me differently now. How did you know what I was going to do in advance?"
"I just know that you want to do something, but I don't know what exactly you want to do. Everything is done by Zhang Ning, and by chance, Zhang Ning has done similar things. So," Dou Yuru patted Sun Quan's arm, " This is fate! The auspicious signs coming from heaven may be fake, but fate is not necessarily fake." Dou Yuru said to Sun Quan, "That's right, Emperor Huanglong."
"Life..."

The incident in Jiangdong quickly spread throughout the world. Many educated nobles originally didn't believe such rumors in the market, but this time many family members went back and clapped their chests to assure their elders that they had seen it with their own eyes. This has caused families in many places to become shaken, and family leaders secretly communicate with other families they are familiar with.
Although on the surface, it is still the same as before, in reality, there is already an undercurrent. Many people were waiting for the arrival of Jiangdong's army and surrendered as soon as possible.
Cao Ying,
"Lord, something is wrong!"
"The Zhang family, the Wang family, the Li family...we have intercepted so many people, and we don't know how many people are secretly sending letters to Jiangdong."
"Many officials themselves did not dare to go out of their way and began to take advantage of their relatives."
"Some nobles in remote areas have begun to violate us."
"What's more, he betrayed our secrets. Although he has been beheaded in public, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys cannot stop this momentum."
"Not only that, many soldiers in the army have received letters from home, advising them not to fight against Jiangdong. Now the army's morale is shaken, and they are timid before fighting. If we don't think of a way, the soldiers may all surrender to the enemy!"
"Don't worry about it, just do whatever you want and pretend you didn't find anything." Cao Cao replied.
"Lord! It's too late if you don't care anymore!" The people below were extremely anxious.
"How is Liu Bei doing? Are they the same as us?" Cao Cao suddenly asked.
"Lord! What time has it been? You still care about others!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, "If you want to turn things around, you need such an ally."
••••••
Unlike Cao Ying's shaky situation, good news continues to come from Jiangdong's side every day.
Up and down Jiangdong, morale was high and high spirits, but of course, some were also somewhat complacent. But this complacency is almost negligible compared to the enemy's defeat without a fight.
"On the front line of Cao's camp, many troops mutinied in the camp. Cao Cao had no choice but to transfer the front-line troops back to Xu County one after another, and then transferred troops from Xu County to the front line."
"Withdraw the troops from the front line, and then transfer the troops from the rear to the front line?" After hearing the report, Sun Quan frowned slightly, "Rotating the garrison seems to be a way, but Cao Cao's originally on the front line is the elite, right? It makes no sense to even the elite If you mutiny, if you replace it with a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, you won’t mutiny anymore?”
"Well, maybe this news hasn't affected Xu County yet?"
"It didn't affect Xu County. How come so many families secretly sent me letters?" Sun Quan threw out a stack of letters sent by Cao Ying officials, "Cao Cao is not a person who will give up easily. If he wants to give up, he won't There is today.”
Sun Quan pondered for a while. There must be something wrong here. Is it possible to transfer the elites from the front line to lure the enemy into taking the initiative to cross the river to attack?
That's right, compared to Jiangdong's army who took advantage of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and took advantage of the right time, place and people to wait for work. It would be better to pretend to surrender, lure the snake out of the hole, and let Jiangdong's army give up the advantage of water warfare.
However, even if Jiangdong's army gives up the water battle, with Jiangdong's current strength and the current morale of Jiangdong's army, is it still afraid of his alliance army? Sun Quan's original purpose was to decide the outcome with this battle!
Therefore, it should not be that simple. Sun Quan is still a little confused about Cao Cao's true thoughts.
"How's it going with the Grand Governor?" Sun Quan asked after thinking for a while. The Battle of Chibi was fully commanded by Zhou Yu. With Zhou Yu in charge, Sun Quan was relieved. There are no mobile phones in this era. No matter how smart Sun Quan is, remote control command can easily cause problems.
"The Governor was worried that it was Cao Cao's trick to lure the enemy, so he first sent an elite team to test. Then they encountered Liu Bei's army and retreated." Sun Quan said next.
Sun Quan nodded,
"Now that our side has the upper hand, we just need to fight steadily. There is really no need to take risks."
However, what Sun Quan never expected was that just a few days later, bad news came from the front - Jiangdong was defeated! Lost Red Cliff!
