The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 256 Acting in Two Ways

Zhou Yu proposed to kill Zheng Bao, Liu Ye frowned.

After hesitating for a moment, he said to Zhou Yu, "Zheng Bao has twenty or thirty guards around him every day, and it's not easy to kill him..."

"With me here, even if there are more than a hundred guards around him, so what?" Sun Ce said from the side, "I think Zheng Bao is just a dead man."

Knowing that he is Sun Bofu, the little overlord of Jiangdong, of course Liu Ye dared not neglect him.

He said to Sun Ce: "If General Sun makes a move, of course Zheng Bao will die, but..."

"What else is there to say about Ziyang?" Seeing that Liu Ye was in trouble, Zhou Yu asked.

"Just kill Zheng Bao, what should we do?" Liu Ye replied: "Zheng Bao's generals are mostly Chaohu gentry. They have been attached to Zheng Bao for a long time. If we kill people, we are afraid of them. They will mobilize troops and horses to launch a sudden attack."

"Marquis Wen is just outside the city. As long as Ziyang has someone occupy the city gate, why worry?" Zhou Yu said, "As long as Marquis Wen enters the city, anyone who dares to make an enemy of him will be decapitated!"

Liu Ye nodded, and then he seemed to remember something, and asked Zhou Yu and Sun Ce: "I don't understand something, and I ask you two to explain it to me!"

"If Ziyang doesn't understand anything, just ask." Liu Ye had the intention of killing Zheng Bao, and Zhou Yu replied with a slight smile.

"General Sun once lived in Jiangdong, how mighty he is? Why is he willing to serve Lu Fengxian now?" Liu Ye said: "Although Lu Fengxian may be different from what I heard, but any rumors must be groundless..."

"It's not groundless, but it's all wrong." Sun Ce said: "I joined Marquis Wen, and now I am his personal general. I have been in contact with him for a long time, and I also find that he is very different from the rumors in the past."

"Please tell General Sun!" Liu Ye bowed and asked Sun Ce to continue.

Sun Ce said: "Marquis Wen's treatment of his subordinates is not as ruthless and ungrateful as the rumors say. But anyone who is willing to help him sincerely, he will treat each other honestly. It stands to reason that we were enemies with him before, even if he would not Killing, at least should not be reused. But Marquis Wen dared to entrust us with such an important matter, which shows that he is open-minded. Such an open-minded person, why should we have any scruples about following him? "

"Although that's what I said, following Marquis Wen is ultimately a conquest." Liu Ye asked, "Hasn't General Sun ever thought about returning to Jiangdong for himself?"

"I've thought about it, but I've just thought about it." Sun Ce replied: "I occupy Jiangdong, not to replace the Han family, but to allow the Sun family to survive for a long time and not be harmed by evil people. Now that I have voted for Marquis Wen, there is He protects me, so the whole Sun family will definitely not be harmed by villains, my goal has been achieved, why do I need to cause so much trouble?"

After Sun Ce said that, Liu Ye nodded and said, "What General Bo Fu said is true, but I was wrong."

"Zi Yang is very wise and considerate. If he is willing to serve Wen Hou, he will definitely be reused." Zhou Yu said to Liu Ye: "When Wen Hou enters Chaohu Lake, I will recommend Zi Yang to him."

"Thank you, Gongjin!" Liu Ye clasped his hands and asked, "I heard that Marquis Wen refused to follow Chen Gong's plan at the beginning, and he refused to abandon his family and camp outside the city, echoing Xiapi. He was almost defeated by Cao Cao. I don’t know if this is true or not?”

Liu Ye asked this question because he wanted to get confirmation from Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.

To serve Haoxiong as their staff, of course they hope that the strategies they have contributed can be reused.

Knowing the meaning of Liu Ye's words, Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said to him: "What Ziyang heard is true, but you only know one, have you ever thought about the other?"

"I would like to hear the details!" Liu Ye signaled Zhou Yu to continue.

"Chen Gongtai made a plan at the beginning to ask Marquis Wen to station outside the city. As a result, all of Marquis Wen's family members were left in the city of Xiapi." Zhou Yu said: "There were not as many soldiers as Cao Cao, and half of them were divided outside the city. Wouldn't it be more than a concentrated force?"

Liu Ye lowered his eyelids and did not respond immediately.

He also thought about Chen Gongxian's strategy many times.

If Lu Bu had acted according to the plan, the chance of failure would still be more than half.

That strategy is not a panacea either.

He just felt that in order to keep his family, Lu Bu chose not to go out of the city in the end.

Thinking this way in his heart, Liu Ye didn't say it out loud, but what Zhou Yu said next gave him the answer he wanted: "Ziyang think about it again, if Marquis Wen had left his family in Xiapi, he would have left the city himself. In this way, what is the difference between him and Liu Xuande who often abandons his family?"

Liu Ye was taken aback, and looked at Zhou Yu.

"Not to mention Marquis Wen, if something like this happened to me, I would definitely not leave Xiapi and camp outside the city." Sun Ce also said beside him, "Marquis Wen is in the city, and his family members are taken care of, so no one dares to do anything to them. When he leaves the city, he is always thinking about his family members, which will actually delay important events!"

"When you two said this, I was like enlightened." Liu Ye suddenly stood up, and bowed to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce with a big gift: "Thank you two for clarifying the confusion!"

"Don't mention this!" Zhou Yu and Sun Ce stood up and returned the salute, and then Zhou Yu asked, "How does Ziyang plan to kill Zheng Bao?"

"Zheng Bao still trusts me." Liu Ye said: "After I deploy people to occupy the city gate, I will send someone to invite Zheng Bao to come to his house for a banquet. When he gets here, although he still has guards by his side, it doesn't look like he is in the government. It's hard to retreat."

His eyes fell on Sun Ce's face, and Liu Ye said, "To kill Zheng Bao, General Sun will do it!"

"That's easy!" Sun Ce responded with a smile, and he said to Zhou Yu, "Gongjin, we don't need to be here, you might as well go to the city gate and take care of Ziyang. Once things are done here, you immediately open the city gate and invite Wenhou to enter the city." .”

"Bo Fu reminded me." Zhou Yu asked Liu Ye, "I don't know if Zi Yang can trust me with his soldiers and horses?"

"I have already decided to follow the two to serve as Marquis Wen, what else can I not let go?" Liu Ye replied, "What are mere soldiers and horses?"

He walked to the door, opened the door and ordered something outside.

Turning around and coming back, Liu Ye said to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce: "I'll send someone to invite the leading general. Gong Jin will go with him later."

"Zi Yang has such sincerity. When I see Marquis Wen, I will definitely tell you everything!" Zhou Yu said, "I'm going to seize the city gate. Bo Fu and Zi Yang have to discuss how to kill Zheng Bao. Only then will nothing be lost!"

"It's not that Gong Jin doesn't know how I do things." Liu Ye said, "Just don't worry, I will hand over Chaohu to Marquis Wen."
