The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 391
Zhou Yu didn't expect that Lu Su knew Sun Quan so well, which was far beyond his expectation, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Don't be surprised, Gong Jin. You are as resourceful as I am. However, you have been going out with Sun Ce all year round and have little contact with the Patriarch, so you don't know him well. But I am different from you. I always get along with the Patriarch in Wu County. , so I have a deep understanding of him. I see that you have been frowning, is it because the Patriarch has begun to distrust you?"

What Lu Su said was right, and it touched Zhou Yu's heart at once. The reason why he dared to say that was because he knew both Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.

"That's right..." Zhou Yu was really convinced this time, and even regretted not recommending Sun Ce to use Lu Su earlier, otherwise they might not be defeated by Li Yuan so quickly.

"Among the monarchs and ministers, the most taboo is that the minister's achievements are high, not to mention that you belong to Sun Ce, not the master of the family, so his trust in you is very limited, and he even wants to prevent you from controlling him and making him your puppet. This has been the case since ancient times, Gong Jin, you have to be careful in the future." Lu Su reminded, he knew that Sun Quan was not a benevolent lord.

Zhou Yu was in a cold sweat, and felt that what Lu Su said was not unreasonable. Maybe Sun Quan would deal with him in the future. He took Lu Su's hand and asked, "Zijing, what should I do?"

"Oh, this is difficult. If you hadn't gone to meet Li Yuan, the Patriarch might not be so wary of you. In fact, I have already begun to suspect that Li Yuan's seeking you is not his scheme."

"Li Yuan's plan?"

"Yes, this may be Li Yuan's scheme. Li Yuan is good at using schemes. There are countless excellent advisers around him. Among them, Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu are the best. This may be Xi Zhicai's scheme. Li Yuan deliberately gets close to you, and then the Patriarch will become suspicious of you and gradually distrust you, it is really easy to fall for the Patriarch's suspicious character, and Li Yuan used this trick quite subtly."

Lu Su thought it was Xi Zhicai's trick. In fact, he guessed wrong. This divorce was thought up by Jia Xu. It's just that Jia Xu's reputation is relatively low, so he thought it was Xi Zhicai's trick. A little low-key, Lu Su can notice that he is already very remarkable.

"No wonder he came to me suddenly. It turned out to be a conspiracy. It seems that I underestimated him." Zhou Yu regretted meeting Li Yuan very much, but couldn't figure it out, "Li Yuan obviously defeated us, and we promised him Why do you still have to deal with us when you move to Xiapi under the conditions of the party?"

"Actually, Li Yuan is not against us, but for you, Gongjin."

"For me? Do you want me to work for him?" Zhou Yu suddenly remembered Li Yuan's solicitation today.

"It should be so. As we all know, Li Yuan is a person who attaches great importance to talents. In the past, the traitor Dong Zhuo's general Hua Xiong, Lv Bu's general Gao Shun, Yuan Shu's former subordinate Ji Ling, and Liu Biao's famous general Wen Pin. These people are Li Yuan's enemies. Those recruited there, even Guan Hai who was born in the Yellow Turban and others dared to use it, it shows that he has reached a rare level of emphasis on talents. He values ​​your talent, so he will do everything possible to drive a wedge between you and the Patriarch relationship, and then recruit you to his subordinates for his use." Lu Su analyzed for Zhou Yu.

"Is Zhou Yu really worthy of Li Yuan's attention?"

"Gong Jin, don't underestimate yourself, let alone Li Yuan's vision and magnanimity. Hua Xiong Gaoshun and Ji Lingwenpin were Li Yuan's enemies, but now they all work for Li Yuan. Heroes are subdued, this is not something that can be achieved only by tricks, Li Yuan must be a person who trusts his subordinates very much, so these people will be loyal to Li Yuan." Although he is an enemy, Lu Su treats Li Yuan from the bottom of his heart of admiration.

When Zhou Yu heard the words "extremely trust his subordinates", he couldn't help but look sad.

"Gongjin, what do you plan to do next, will you continue to serve the Patriarch or leave?"

"I don't know, Bo Fu asked me to take care of the Patriarch, but the Patriarch treats me like this, how can I be loyal." Zhou Yu still remembered Sun Ce's last words before his death. And it doesn't trust him yet, which makes him feel very hurt.

"Well, there are only two ways to go, one is to leave, and the other is to remain silent." Lu Su said two choices.

"Silence? What is silence?" Zhou Yu asked puzzled.

"The so-called silence means that you don't have to take the initiative to make plans, restrain your edge, give others the opportunity to show, let the Patriarch cultivate his own power, and finally withdraw from his circle. As long as you give up the power in your hand, your prestige will be It will gradually weaken, so that he will gradually ignore you, and then you can stay at ease and don't have to suffer from his suspicion." Lu Su explained.

"Just ask me to give up all power." Zhou Yu has always been a person who takes care of everything. Since he followed Sun Ce, he has set the direction for Sun Ce's power development. From the big to the siege of the city to the small to the money, food and taxes, almost everything will pass through him. That's why the generals in the army respect him so much, and it is precisely because of this that his power is too concentrated. Sun Ce can fully trust him, but Sun Quan cannot.

"It's up to you to choose." Lu Su also sighed for Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu can be said to have witnessed the prosperity and decline of the Sun family. For the others, without Zhou Yu, the Sun family might not even be able to take Jiangdong, let alone take Jingnan together with Li Yuan.

"Bo Fu, it would be great if you were still here." Zhou Yu tightly held the wine glass in his hand, because the wine in the glass had spilled out because of his excitement, and the dim candlelight shone on him, making him look a little lonely , his loneliness can only be understood by Sun Ce, but since Sun Ce is gone, it is difficult to find another person in this world who can truly understand him.

"Gongjin, it may be a better choice for you to go to Li Yuan. Li Yuan is a rare hero. He is the one who is most likely to dominate the world today. The only one who can compete with him is Cao Cao. But I am more optimistic about Li Yuan, as long as Li Yuan defeats Cao Cao and the others, there is nothing to worry about, if you defect to him, you will be important, and even have a chance to become the founding hero of the country." Lu Su suddenly said something that Zhou Yu felt astonished .

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su incredulously, and said in surprise, "Zijing, why did you say such outrageous things?"

"Gongjin, I only say this from the perspective of a good friend, but from the perspective of the Sun family, I don't approve of you defecting to Li Yuan, but I still want to say something disrespectful, the current Sun family has fallen, We couldn't beat Li Yuan when we were the strongest, and we can't win even more now, even if you risk your life, the chances are still slim, and it's a waste of your talent to stay." Lu Su's words came from the bottom of his heart. Sun Quan also offended.
