Yuzhou, the Sun clan, within Sun Wu's camp.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I have received a letter from my lord. Wei Gong will send troops to attack the puppet emperor in the near future!" A messenger handed a letter to Sun Wu while verbally conveying the relevant situation.
After Sun Jian's death, Sun Wu became the most prestigious person in the army, but Sun Wu finally decided to support Sun Ce to succeed Sun Jian. Whether it was to repay the favor or for some other reason, Sun Ce eventually supported Sun Wu to the position of Grand Governor, who could issue orders to all the soldiers and horses of the Sun family.
"That's wrong!" After reading the letter and having a detailed understanding of the matter, Sun Wu instinctively felt something was wrong.
Cao Cao suffered considerable losses when he cooperated with Yuan Shao to attack Hulao Pass. Moreover, there was only one Runan where Cao Cao's territory bordered Yuan Shu's territory.
But where is Runan? It is the base camp of Yuan Shu, and it is also the base camp of the Yuan family, the fourth and third prince. If he attacks Runan directly, he is not afraid of Yuan Shu risking his life with him!
"By the way, how is my lord's health?" Sun Wu asked the messenger while thinking about various possibilities in his mind.
After all, Sun Ce is now the boss of their Sun Group, and Sun Wu can no longer call him eldest nephew like before. He has also become lord in title.
As for asking about Sun Ce's physical condition, it was also related to Huang Gai's bitter plot. After all, given the situation of the Sun family at that time, while on the one hand they needed to guard against Yuan Shu, the number of troops that could be sent to deal with Huang Chao was limited.
Moreover, they also need to solve the problem as soon as possible when Huang Chao's foothold is not stable, otherwise the longer they delay, the more difficult it will be for the opponent to deal with them. Therefore, a series of strategies are needed.
Moreover, in order to ensure the success rate of this bitter trick and to make Huang Gai truly trust Huang Chao, the shot Huang Gai shot Sun Ce had no water at all and really seriously injured Sun Ce.
Otherwise, you really think Huang Chao is a fool for actually suffering such a big loss from Huang Gai. Even if it weren't for the help of Yuan Shu and Li Mi, Huang Chaolian himself would have been involved.
Originally, if Sun Ce rested, this injury would not be a big problem. But who allowed Huang Chao to use Sun Jian's body again and again to stimulate Sun Ce? After doing this two and three times, Sun Ce was so angry that he couldn't get any effective treatment at all.
After the injury finally healed a little, he was so angry that he had another attack. It was not easy to live peacefully until now.
"General Zhou Yu has invited famous doctors to diagnose and treat my lord, and has asked my lord to return to Lu County temporarily to recuperate. However, my lord insists on recuperating in the frontline camp." Speaking of Sun Ce's physical condition, the messenger couldn't help but feel a little more worried. The lord is a powerful soul. The lord's physical condition is different, and the ministers below them cannot handle their affairs in peace and contentment.
"Cao Cao, Cao Cao!" Sun Wu muttered Cao Cao's name while looking at the map and sand table carefully.
If it was the original end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there would naturally be no such thing as a sand table. However, with the addition of three time travellers, what should be there appears.
Whether it is Ma Zhong Sambo or a sand table, these things are not high-tech products. If you want to plagiarize them, it is easy. You can even know the general direction just by looking at them. Therefore, after these things are discovered, they cannot be hidden even if they want to.
Of course, those things that cannot be easily plagiarized and have a certain level of technological content, with the level of these three time travellers, they can't come up with that kind of thing.
"No, go and tell the lord quickly! Forget it, let's go and tell Gongjin first!" Considering Sun Ce's physical problems, Sun Wu could only tell Zhou Yu his guess first, and Zhou Yu would make a decision based on the specific situation. Decide whether to tell Sun Ce. After all, only Zhou Yu who stayed with Sun Ce could make the most appropriate judgment.
"Go and tell Gong Jin quickly that Cao Cao's target of sending troops does not necessarily have to be the puppet emperor. His real target is probably the Huangchao traitors!" Sun Wu said with some worry.
"Grand Governor, my subordinates will set off immediately!" The messenger obviously had a certain vision. After listening to Sun Wu's words, he also understood the urgency of the matter and was ready to set off immediately.
Although the messenger left, Sun Wu's mood could not really calm down. Cao Cao's words this time were under the banner of crusade against the false emperor Yuan Shu, but when Huang Chao stabbed the Sun family in the back after Sun Jian's death, he had already accepted the reward from the false emperor Yuan Shu.
From this aspect, Huang Chao can be classified into the same line of rebellious ministers and traitors as the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu, and Huang Chao can be regarded as a rebellious minister of the puppet dynasty. From the moment he accepted the reward, Huang Chao nominally became a part of Yuan Shu's subordinates.
Therefore, if Cao Cao sends troops against Huang Chao, it can be regarded as a crusade against the false emperor.
Moreover, the current Huang Chao is simply vulnerable. It is only because he has grasped the Sun family's weakness that he has survived until now. But what Huang Chao was targeting was the Sun family's weakness, and Cao Cao would never admit it. If Cao Cao really wanted Huang Chao, he could swallow up Huang Chao's power almost effortlessly.
The Sun clan has worked hard for so long to force Huang Chao to this point. How could they be willing to let Cao Aman pick the peach easily!
However, not knowing what to do, Sun Wu still felt a surge of uneasiness deep in his heart, as if this matter was more than that simple.
In fact, Sun Ce, with Zhou Yu's intelligence, was not unable to see this. However, on the one hand, Zhou Yu was still immature at this time and was far less mature than Cao Cao and Sun Wu. Moreover, Sun Ce, Sun Jian, and Huang Chao had a lot of things to do, and Sun Ce handed over all military affairs to Zhou Yu while he was recovering from his injuries. , these things forced Zhou Yu to not have much energy to think about other things.
On the other hand, as Sun Wu guessed, Cao Cao's real target was Huang Chao. However, Cao Cao marched into Runan with great fanfare, and at the same time detached a partial force to secretly attack Huang Chao. The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear. Sun Wu could not be confused if he was not at the scene, but Zhou Yu, who was in the middle of the game, was inevitably hit by the smoke bomb thrown by Cao Cao.
Moreover, this time it was Cheng Yu who came up with the plan. Strategies like Li Ru, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu were always ruthless in their strategies. However, it is precisely because their strategies are more ruthless and vicious that they are difficult to guard against and difficult to crack.
This time Cao Cao's appetite was very big, and Sun Wu only guessed part of Cao Cao's plan. Only after this part is completed, Cao Cao's real fangs will be exposed.
