The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 459
"Military Master, my lord has his own thoughts, let's not mention this matter for now." Standing behind Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu whispered to Xi Zhicai, and pulled him back.Xi Zhicai glanced at Jia Xu, then at Li Yuan, knowing that Li Yuan must have his own intentions, so he didn't make a sound.

"Zhicai, apart from capturing Sun Quan, have you captured Zhou Yu this time?" Compared to Sun Quan, Li Yuan paid more attention to Zhou Yu.

Xi Zhicai replied: "My lord, Zhou Yu did not take part in the rebellion. He had already fled when Sun Quan attacked. He was followed by Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Lu Su and all the children of the Sun family. It seems that Sun Quan I was afraid that the family would be wiped out if things didn’t work out, so I let the children of the Sun family leave Xiapi in advance.”

"It's a pity that Zhou Yu was not caught. This person is extremely harmful to us. I don't know where he fled." Li Yuan regretted.

"My lord is absolutely right. Zhou Yu has done great harm to us, and news came from Hebei recently that Zhou Yu and others have defected to Cao Cao." Xi Zhicai's remark made everyone very surprised.

"What, Zhou Yu actually went to join Cao Cao?" Li Yuan stared at Xi Zhicai dumbfounded, "Is this true?"

"Yes, the spies from the Ministry of Secrets sent back news that Zhou Yu had defected to Cao Cao, and also helped Cao Cao lead troops to attack Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. Zhou Tai, Chen Wu and Xu Sheng were also under his command, and it is said that they were very active , deeply appreciated by Cao Cao." This is the news that Xi Zhicai only got a few days ago, and he was very worried after knowing this news, and it would be like adding wings to a tiger with Zhou Yu's ability to assist Cao Cao.

"Does Zhou Yu really hate me that much? He would rather join Cao Cao than work for me." Li Yuan was very upset. Zhou Yu didn't give him face. If Sun Ce hadn't begged for mercy, he would have killed the Sun family. up.

"Senior brother, Zhou Yu is a modest gentleman on the surface, but in reality he is cruel and ruthless. I don't know that we can hire such a person." Zhao Yun didn't have much affection for Zhou Yu. If Zhou Yu stood in front of him, he would have killed Zhou Yu with a single shot.

"My lord, this subordinate has a plan to make Zhou Yu come back by himself without having to waste a single soldier." Ma Xian said suddenly. In fact, he had already felt that Li Yuan and Xi Zhi had guessed his identity, but he still behaved very well. Calmness alone, just this kind of concentration is better than many people, no wonder he can become an opponent that even Zhuge Liang feels headaches.

Li Yuan and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and then said: "Please tell me, Mr. Zhong." Everyone looked at Ma Xian curiously, wondering what clever plan he had come up with.

"Actually, it's not a clever plan. We all know that Sun Quan is in our hands. We can use Sun Quan to threaten Zhou Yu, and then send someone to tell Zhou Yu that if he doesn't come back to Xiapi, we will kill Sun Quan, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and Dong Yu." Xi and Ling Cao beheaded all six people, so he will definitely come back." Ma Xian revealed his plan.

Mi Zhu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, also nodded in agreement and said, "This is a very short plan. Although Zhou Yu and Sun Quan are at odds, given the relationship between him and Sun Ce, he might come back, and not only Sun Quan, but also Huang Gai and others will die. There is no escape from death, so Zhou Yu has a great chance of returning to Xiapi."

"What do Zhicai think?" Li Yuan asked Xi Zhicai.

"This plan is feasible, but it's hard to say whether it will succeed. Zhou Yu is extremely loyal to Sun Ce. The reason why he turned to Cao Cao is likely to use Cao Cao's hand to save Sun Quan and others. However, Cao Cao is busy with the war in Hebei, so it is impossible. To deal with us in the short term, we can try to threaten Zhou Yu. If he is willing to come back, we can catch him. If he does not come back, the lord can spread rumors in Hebei and other places, saying that Zhou Yu is a man who is greedy for life and fears death. And abandoning your lord and going to Cao Cao, even if you can't get him back, you can give him a bad reputation."

Xi Zhicai made some supplements to Ma Xian's strategy to make it more perfect.

"Okay, let's do what Zhicai said." Li Yuan decided to implement this plan and asked the soldiers to bring Sun Quan up.After a while, Sun Quan was escorted up by two soldiers.

Sun Quan has been haggard since he entered the prison. Although he did not deliberately abuse him, his eyes became lifeless and his face was extremely pale. He looked like a dying person. He knew that his time of death was coming.

"Sun Quan, in the past your elder brother pleaded for mercy for your Sun family, that's why I spared your life, why now you deliberately make trouble while I'm not in Xiapi, you are really ungrateful, your elder brother died in vain." A scolding meal.

"Li Yuan, you don't have to pretend to be a good person. My grandson's family's foundation is ruined by you. If you hadn't attacked Jiangdong, my brother would not have died. We are already at odds. Either you die or I die, but my grandson Your skills are not as good as others, but you have fallen into your hands twice. You are free to kill or cut, and don’t speak hypocrisy in front of me.” Sun Quan’s voice was a little hoarse, perhaps because he was imprisoned for a long time, so his spirit The state is not good.

"You think it's simple. Not only are you going to die, but Huang Gai and others are also implicated by you. They will also die." Li Yuan said deliberately, to see if Sun Quan didn't even value Huang Gai's life.

Sun Quan trembled uncontrollably when he heard the words. Although he felt guilty about Huang Gai and others, they had already fallen into Li Yuan's hands, and he could do nothing.

Li Yuan stared at Sun Quan closely, and saw that Sun Quan felt guilty towards Huang Gai and others. He said, "It's not that I can't spare your lives, but you have to do something for me."

"What's the matter?" Sun Quan asked hastily when he heard that there was a possibility of survival.

"Zhou Yu has defected to Cao Cao, I want you to write a letter to him personally, asking him to come back to the Pi."

"Hahahaha, it turns out that brother Gongjin has already taken refuge in Cao Cao, that's good, Cao Cao knows how to employ people, and he is much better than me. I believe that brother Gongjin's talent will definitely be reused by Cao Cao, and he wants me to trick him back. Pooh!" Sun Quan refused without hesitation.

Li Yuan looked at Sun Quan with admiration. He thought that the relationship between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu was already on fire, and even if he died, he would drag Zhou Yu to the back. He really realized the importance of Zhou Yu, so there was such a change.

"You still have a bit of conscience, you can rest assured, I won't kill you for the time being, I will keep you still useful, come and push him back." Li Yuan ordered the soldiers to push Sun Quan back to the prison.

"My lord, since Sun Quan doesn't want to write it, let his subordinates write it for him. It will also bring Zhou Yu back." Ma Xian recommended himself.
