"In that case, how about you make a bet with me?"
Liu Zhang did not refute it directly, and Zhou Yu was happy to win this chance to breathe.
He nodded and agreed.
"Yes, but I wonder what King Qin wants to bet on?"
"Just bet on Cao Cao."
Liu Zhang blurted out without even thinking.
Zhou Yu felt even more unsure.
How much confidence does it take to bet on Cao Cao?
Unless the facts are established, where would Liu Zhang have the courage?
But Zhou Yu had no choice but to agree.
"Okay! Why bet on Cao Cao?"
"Gong Jin, when did you and Cao Cao agree to besiege Gu?"
Zhou Yu looked at the height of the sun in the sky.
"An hour later, it will be the planned time."
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded.
"Then bet that Cao Cao won't show up in an hour."
Zhou Yu took a breath and agreed.
"Okay, I made a bet with King Qin!"
In less than an hour, Zhou Yu was betrayed by Cao Cao for whatever reason.
At that time, it would have no meaning whether Cao Cao and Liu Zhang would unite or not.
The purpose of both sides has changed from eliminating Liu Zhang to entrapping the other party.
"King Qin, the bet is clear, what is the bet?"
"You can't finish your bet and it will be in vain, right?"
Liu Zhang still answered Zhou Yu happily.
"It's very simple. Within an hour, Cao Cao led his army to kill him, and he was captured without any help at all!"
"What!"
Zhou Yu almost popped his eyes out.
How confident do you have to be to agree like this?
Moreover, the price paid by oneself is probably not small!
"King Qin, what if Cao Cao doesn't come?"
"It's very simple, you just lead the army and besiege Cao Cao together with Gu!"
"To tell you the truth, Gu has sent a hundred thousand troops to bypass Cao Cao's back, waiting to annihilate him in one fell swoop!"
Zhou Yu was surprised again.
The huge information gap made it impossible for him to distinguish the situation.
"King Qin, didn't you join forces with Cao Cao? Why did you go around Cao Cao's back?"
"It's very simple. Cao Cao's threat is much greater than that of Sun Quan!"
"I want to defeat Cao Cao in one battle and kill all his elite men!"
Zhou Yu didn't speak, but Gu Yong's mind immediately became active.
"King Qin, do you want to unite with Duke Wu?"
"As long as the King of Qin is willing, I am willing to use the lives of my whole family to guarantee this matter!"
Liu Zhang waved his fingers disdainfully.
"Don't join forces with trash!"
"Gong Jin, if you are willing, I am willing to join forces with you!"
"If you are willing to remain neutral and not participate in the battle between Gu and Sun Quan, Gu will grant you the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang and let you rule them!"
Zhou Yu's eyes instantly became hot.
The imperial seal means that it can be hereditary!
The Zhou family was originally from the Lujiang family, so they naturally wanted to be the boss of their own three-quarter acre of land.
Liu Zhang directly satisfied the requirements of the entire Zhou family.
The key is that you don’t have to surrender yet, just stay neutral!
"Grand Governor, don't be fooled!"
Gu Yong was very anxious and quickly dissuaded him.
If he agrees to this, Sun Quan will be completely finished.
Once Sun Quan is finished, Gu Yong is finished too, and the Gu family will lose most of its power.
How can you bear this?
unless. . .
"Grand Governor!"
Lu Meng also called out, but did not stop or agree.
His intention was obvious, he didn't want to betray his master, but he had no good way to reverse the situation.
I’m really struggling inside!
I really hope to get Zhou Yu’s idea, but I am afraid that Zhou Yu will agree to it.
Zhou Yu raised his hand to interrupt the voices of the two people on the left and right, frowning and deep in thought.
After a long time, he asked Liu Zhang a question.
"King Qin, what if this governor doesn't agree?"
Liu Zhang smiled disdainfully and pointed at the army behind him.
"There are 150,000 troops here, you can try."
"By the way, this is the Imperial Guard, specializing in land warfare!"
"What!"
Not only Zhou Yu, but also Gu Yong screamed again.
"Didn't the imperial guards attack Yuzhang and Luling?"
"Haha, that's a feint attack there, Gu has already transferred them back!"
"In this battle, the Imperial Guards and the Eastern Army are all out! They are all elite troops!"
Sweat finally broke out on Zhou Yu's forehead.
I couldn't calm down anymore.
In the rear, there is a treacherous Cao Cao, who may have rebelled.
In front, there is the most elite infantry in the world.
There is a huge difference in the quality of the soldiers on both sides, especially in field battles!
If one person is not careful, the entire army may collapse.
If he was defeated and captured, then Zhou Yu would have no chance of taking control of Lujiang and Jiujiang.
Even the Zhou family may decline!
Turning his head, Zhou Yu looked helpless.
"Master Gu, Zi Ming, you have all seen the current situation. It is no longer within the control of this governor."
"We can only agree first and hope that Cao Cao will not break his promise and we can capture Liu Zhang without any effort."
Gu Yong looked desperate.
"Commander, do you think Liu Zhang would agree like this if he is not 100% sure that Cao Cao is trapping us?"
Zhou Yu shook his head.
"Does the Governor have any other options?"
Lu Meng was still unwilling to give up and looked at Zhou Yu stubbornly.
"Captain, why not fight with Liu Zhang!"
"Fight? What are you trying to fight with?"
Zhou Yu was amused by Lu Meng's innocence.
Pointing at Dian Wei beside Liu Zhang.
"Are you familiar with him? How many times can you catch him?"
Lu Meng immediately shut his mouth.
He participated in the entire martial arts tournament and knew the horror of Dian Wei.
If the two sides were one-on-one, Lu Meng probably wouldn't be able to hold on to Shihe!
"Hey! Damn Cao Cao, you tricked us!"
Lu Meng cursed loudly to express his attitude.
Follow Zhou Yu's choice.
"Master Gu, what about you?"
Gu Yong was stunned for a moment, then trembled.
Zhou Yu’s eyesight is not good!
If you don't say it well, you might be captured and given to Liu Zhang!
"That... Grand Governor, this... I... am..."
Zhou Yu smiled and relaxed the atmosphere.
"Master Gu, this matter actually has nothing to do with you. It's all Sun Quan's problem."
"If Sun Quan hadn't sent troops, I wouldn't have been in this situation."
Gu Yong was even covered in cold sweat.
The title changed from Wu Gong to Sun Quan, which was too fast!
"Grand Governor, in fact, I have long disliked Sun Quan!"
"If the Governor changes his banner, then it's not impossible for our Gu family..."
