The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 387 Chapter 386 Assassination of Sun Ce
Zhou Yu nodded heavily, and said to Sun Ce, "That's right, it's Liu Bei."

"Didn't you form an alliance with Liu Biao? Why did you get involved with Liu Bei again?" Sun Ce asked.

Zhou Yu explained: "Actually, Liu Bei was the one who made this alliance. Liu Bei is now the governor of Jingnan under Liu Biao's account, and the governor of the four counties in Jingnan. He is an invincible man, and Huang Zhong is a veteran on the battlefield. The strength of his army is no less than that of Liu Biao's direct troops. Compared with Liu Biao, who is self-defense, Liu Bei is a man with great ambitions. From what he wrote to me It is not difficult to see in the letter that Liu Bei really wanted to take this opportunity to do something, but it was a pity that he did not encounter a good opportunity. Moreover, I have also conducted investigations on this person Liu Bei, and this person gradually emerged in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion , but later had bad luck and little power, and wandered around until he arrived in Jingzhou, where he achieved great success in suppressing Zhang Xian's rebellion, and was appointed by Liu Biao as the governor of Jingnan. Since then, he has gradually gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou ..."

Sun Ce patiently listened to Zhou Yu's narration, and when Zhou Yu finished speaking, he asked, "It is Liu Biao who made the alliance, not Liu Bei. Besides, Liu Bei is just the governor of Jingnan under Liu Biao's account. In terms of strength, status, and reputation, It's not as good as Liu Biao, what's the benefit of forming an alliance with him?"

Zhou Yu said with a smile, "My lord, although Liu Bei has great talent, he has not encountered a good opportunity, and there are many generals under his tent, all of whom are heroes of the time. Although Liu Bei has many talents under his tent, there is only one missing. A man of great wisdom who can really plan strategies. Once our two armies form an alliance, the two armies will merge into one, and our military strength will greatly increase. Coupled with my strategy, it will be enough to compete with Zhang Yan."

Sun Ce was silent for a moment, and said, "Gongjin, how dare you guarantee that Liu Bei will obey our orders after I form an alliance with Liu Bei?"

Zhou Yu said: "I have my own plan for this, but it's just..."

"It's just what? You and my brother, what are you talking about, but it's okay!" Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "It's just that the Lord may need to sacrifice one person!"

"Who?" Sun Ce asked hastily.

"My lord's sister!"

"Shang Xiang?" Sun Ce was surprised, and immediately asked, "Gong Jin, what do you want to do?"

"I have asked people to inquire about it. Liu Bei has a regular wife, the Gan family, but she has never given birth to any children. That is to say, Liu Bei has no children under his knees. The sister of the lord is a beautiful woman. Why don't you marry her to Liu Bei? In this way, Liu Bei has become the lord's brother-in-law, and he should naturally obey the lord's orders." Zhou Yu said.

After hearing this, Sun Ce frowned, his eyes flickered with a strange light, and asked, "Gong Jin, how old is Liu Bei this year?"

Zhou Yu replied: "I just turned 40 this year!"

"40 years old?" Sun Ce was surprised when he heard this, and immediately yelled, "Liu Bei is older than me, and he is already a bad old man. Shang Xiang is only 16 years old, and he is in the prime of his youth. Xiang married Liu Bei, a bad old man? You can also think of such a plan?"

Zhou Yu was reprimanded by Sun Ce, and opened his mouth to explain: "My lord, listen to me..."

"Don't say anything! I know what you want to say! It's okay to form an alliance with Liu Bei, but I will never agree to marry Shang Xiang to Liu Bei, a bad old man!" Sun Ce said firmly.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu knew that he and Sun Ce couldn't make any sense, so he stopped talking immediately, and let it go, and then said to Sun Ce: "Since my lord agrees to form an alliance with Liu Bei, then I will deal with the matter of forming an alliance with Liu Bei. "

Sun Ce waved his hand, signaling Zhou Yu to leave, and at the same time agreed to form an alliance with Liu Bei, but he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Yu's bad idea. Although his heart was full of anger, he couldn't express it to Zhou Yu.

After Zhou Yu left, Sun Ce let out a hysterical cry, venting all the anger in his heart.

It was noon, and Sun Ce ordered all the soldiers to disband for training in the afternoon, while he rode his horse aimlessly through the city.Distraught, he didn't let anyone follow him. He rode alone and rode alone, and soon rode out of Nanchang City.

Sun Ce rode forward for four or five miles, and then realized that he was some distance away from Nanchang City, so he turned his horse and walked back.

Suddenly, four or five sharp arrows shot out from all directions at the same time, and flew towards Sun Ce on horseback.

Sensing the danger, Sun Ce immediately hid in a stirrup, and several arrows "swish" and flew quickly overhead.

At this moment, another arrow shot out from the grass beside the road, and it flew towards Sun Ce impartially. By the time Sun Ce wanted to avoid it, it was too late, and he only felt a chill on his thigh. When it came, the sharp arrow shot directly into the flesh, and blood flowed from the thigh immediately.

Although Sun Ce was hit by an arrow, he didn't cry out. He endured the pain in his leg and turned back on his horse. At the same time, he noticed that twenty or thirty black-clothed and masked killers rushed out from all directions. Holding bows and arrows one after another, they shot at him indiscriminately.

Sun Ce saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't carry any weapons with him, so he could only stick his body tightly on the horse's back, shouted, and urged the horses under his seat to gallop forward. A masked killer in black was thrown far away.

Sun Ce left in the dust, and those men in black were walking on foot. They wanted to chase after him, but a man shouted, "Don't chase!"

Everyone stopped in their tracks, and gathered around a burly man in black. They unwrapped the veils covering their faces one after another, and only then did they reveal their true colors.

The leader, with a resolute face and fierce eyes, was none other than Zhou Tai, the great Han Hengjiang General.

Zhou Tai glanced at Sun Ce who had left in the dust, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he ordered his subordinates satisfied: "Retreat!"

Zhou Tai was sent by Chen Deng to assassinate Sun Ce with dozens of people who are good at archery. They have been lurking in this area for a long time, and they have also figured out the trajectory of Sun Ce. In the past, Sun Ce would come here Walking the horse, but every time with a group of entourage, Zhou Tai and others could not do anything, fearing that he would be killed by Sun Ce before he could kill Sun Ce.

But today, maybe God was helping him secretly, Sun Ce came, and he was riding alone, without a follower.

Zhou Tai couldn't bear the excitement in his heart anymore, and directly ordered Sun Ce to be shot.

However, Sun Ce is also very powerful. In the face of a sudden assassination, he was only hit by an arrow, which is really amazing.

However, Sun Ce didn't know that in order to achieve a one-hit kill, Zhou Tai specially quenched the poison on the arrows. As long as they were contaminated with a little bit, they would be poisoned and died soon.

Therefore, Zhou Tai was not worried about Sun Ce running away at all, because he saw with his own eyes that Sun Ce was hit by an arrow, which was enough to kill Sun Ce.

Zhou Tai and others all evacuated from this place and retreated as fast as possible. At this moment, Sun Ce who was riding on the horse had gradually felt a little uncomfortable. His eyes were a little dazzled and he couldn't see clearly. Not to mention the lack of strength, he exerted himself and rode all the way to the gate of Nanchang City. He couldn't hold on any longer, but felt his body light and light, and fell off the horse directly.

"Lord!"

When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw him, they all rushed forward, lifted Sun Ce up, and hurriedly sent him to the government office.

Zhou Yu was writing a letter to Liu Bei in the government office when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, so he hurried out to find out what happened. Unexpectedly, Sun Ce was carried back by a group of people. He noticed that Sun Ce had been shot by an arrow on the outside of his thigh. , the leg was already stained red with blood, and the wound was still bubbling out.

Zhou Yu was taken aback. Seeing that Sun Ce was unconscious, he hurriedly started making arrangements to have someone carry Sun Ce into the room, and then ordered, "Go to the doctor!"

After a while, the doctor came over in a panic. Seeing that Sun Ce was unconscious from the injury, he took a closer look at the wound on the outside of Sun Ce's thigh, only to find that the blood flowing out of the wound was black.

"Toxic!" The doctor made a decisive decision and immediately started to rescue. He ordered someone to cut off part of the arrow first, leaving only one arrowhead. The doctor asked someone to wrap it in a cloth. Temporarily stopped the bleeding from the wound.

Afterwards, the doctor signaled Sun Ce's pulse, while Zhou Yu and others waited anxiously.

"Doctor, what's the matter with my lord? What kind of poison is on your body?" Zhou Yu asked anxiously.

After the doctor took the pulse, he first sighed, then shook his head, and then said: "The old man has been practicing medicine all his life, and he has never foreseen such a thing. There is poison on the arrow, and it is very poisonous. I did strenuous exercise, which caused the poisonous gas to attack my heart, and now the poison has spread to the Lord's whole body, even if the Daluo God descends to earth, it may not be able to save him! You should prepare for the funeral in advance!"

After hearing what the doctor said, Zhou Yu and the others hurriedly asked, "Doctor, is it really hopeless that the Lord can't be saved?"

"Anyway, I have no way to save him. I have never seen or heard of the poison he was poisoned. Even if it is necessary to prepare the antidote, it will take ten days and a half a month. However, the master does not have much time left, only about two days .”

Zhou Yu looked disappointed, and after sending the doctor away, he immediately ordered the soldiers to go out of the city to search, ordering that the assassin must be caught.

After that, Zhou Yu paced in Sun Ce's room, always paying attention to Sun Ce's every move.After a while, Zhou Yu ordered someone to go to Nancheng to invite Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan to come and see Sun Ce for the last time.

After that, Zhou Yu stayed in Sun Ce's room all the time. Facing this sudden situation, Zhou Yu also suffered from extreme headaches. If he failed to handle the matter properly, the whole Jiangdong would fall into chaos.

Therefore, Zhou Yu completely blocked the news, only saying that Sun Ce was fine, just suffered some skin trauma.
