Originally, according to Xun Yu and Zhou Yu's plan, they relied on Yuan Shu to capture Yuzhou, and then Sun Ce and Yuan Shu divided Yuzhou equally.

But they didn't expect that Yuan Shu was even more stupid than everyone imagined. When he heard that Sun Ce had surrendered to him, he not only agreed to borrow troops unconditionally, he even made Sun Ce the shepherd of Yuzhou and gave the entire Yuzhou to Sun Ce.

This can be said to be an unexpected surprise for Sun Ce.

Therefore, after conquering the entire territory of Yuzhou, and after half a month of stabilization and development, Sun Ce began to plan with Zhou Yu how to provoke a conflict between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao.

After all, obtaining the territory in Yuzhou is only a small goal in Sun Ce's current plan.

Avenging Sun Jian and getting rid of Liu Biao and Huang Zu is what Sun Ce wants to do most at the moment.

And although Sun Ce is now the nominal Yuzhou Mu, Yuan Shu has publicized the news that he has taken refuge with him, so now the whole world knows that Sun Ce has become Yuan Shu's subordinate.

Under this situation, Sun Ce had absolutely no way to develop his own power. Yuan Shu might issue an order at any time to lead his army to conquer the east and west for him.

Moreover, Yuan Shu may withdraw the troops that funded him at any time, or even mobilize his own troops to attack other princes.

As a result, Sun Ce could not cultivate his own power with peace of mind.

What Sun Ce couldn't accept even more was that Yuan Shu might follow the advice of his adviser at any time and transfer himself away from Yuzhou and arrange him to be by his side.

In that case, Sun Ce would completely lose the opportunity for development.

And since Sun Ce has surrendered to Yuan Shu, it is impossible for Sun Ce to rebel directly. In this way, in this world that values ​​loyalty, he will lose more reputation and morality.

Just like today's flying general Lu Bu, although he has unparalleled military power, many people still sneer at him, and many princes even ignore him at all.

None of the famous men and generals in the world are willing to serve him. The capable men under him now, such as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, are also veterans who took refuge with him a long time ago.

The reason is that Lu Bu was Ding Yuan's subordinate and trusted subordinate earlier, but he was tempted by Dong Zhuo to kill Ding Yuan himself and defect to Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, the infamy of regicide has always been on Lu Bu. No matter how powerful he is, he is not recognized by the world.

Sun Ce was only a teenager at this time, his life had just begun, and there was still a long way to go, so he must not bear the reputation of being unfaithful like Lu Bu.

Moreover, Sun Ce had been influenced by Sun Jian since he was a child. He acted openly and aboveboard, and valued emotions and loyalty. Even though he pretended to join him in order to take advantage of Yuan Shucai, he did not want to rebel against him directly.

Therefore, the only way to escape Yuan Shu's control and take over all the territory is to provoke a conflict between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, as Xun Yu said.

Once the two sides started fighting and both sides were injured, Sun Ce had the opportunity to easily kill Liu Biao and take over Yuan Shu's power.

Moreover, as the entire Yuzhou fell into the hands of Sun Ce, his strength increased greatly, and his troops no longer relied solely on Yuan Shu's 20,000 support, so he increasingly wanted to escape Yuan Shu's control.

As Sun Ce's confidant and a super strategist, Zhou Yu knew Sun Ce very well, so he took the initiative to find Sun Ce to discuss provoking conflicts between the two parties.

This matter has always troubled Sun Ce. He took this opportunity to ask:"Gong Jin, Xun Yu said that we should find an opportunity to provoke a conflict between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, so that they both lose, and we will reap the benefits.

This plan That's good, but I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I haven't thought of a way to get Yuan Shu and Liu Biao to work together.

I wonder if you have any clever ideas, Gongjin?"

Zhou Yu said with a smile,"I just want to talk to you about this today..

If a war breaks out between two major princes, the only possible reason is interest. Only when the interests of both parties conflict and are irreconcilable, war will be inevitable.

Therefore, if you want Yuan Shu and Liu Biao to fight, you need to make them produce Conflict of interests."

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce felt that this was indeed the case, so he asked:"In that case, Gongjin, don't show off, I know you must have a solution, tell me quickly, you I'll just do it as long as I find a way."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile when he saw Sun Ce's anxious look, and then said:"Actually, the best interest in making them dog-eat-dog lies in your hands, Bo Fu."

Sun Ce listened to Zhou Yu He still had a look of confusion on his face. When Zhou Yu saw this, he said directly:"Jade Seal of Chuan Guo!"

At this time, Sun Ce was shocked when he heard the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo from Zhou Yu's mouth:"Jade Seal of Chuan Guo?

Gong Jin is Say, let me use the Chuan Guo Jade Seal to provoke conflicts between them?

But this jade seal was found by my father with great effort. It can be said that the original reason why he died was this Chuan Guo Jade Seal.

Therefore, this Jade Seal It is very important to me, how can I use it as bait?"

Seeing that Sun Ce did not react, Zhou Yu explained:"Bo Fu, even if this jade seal is in your hand now, you can't take it out and use it, so why not let it go? To become a tool to avenge my uncle?"

Sun Ce listened to Zhou Yu's words and thought that what Zhou Yu said was very reasonable, so he asked:"Okay, everything depends on Gong Jin. Tell me, what should be done specifically?"

Zhou Yu replied Said:"Yuan Shu was born in the Yuan family of Runan, the fourth generation and the third Duke. He had high aspirations, great ambitions and few talents. And with the decline of the Han Dynasty, and even the emperor no longer existed, his ambition must have become more obvious.

Therefore, Bo Fu can take the opportunity to offer the jade seal and instigate him to proclaim himself emperor.

With this jade seal passed down from the country, Yuan Shu will definitely not refuse.

And his territory at this time is in Nanyang County, located in Jingzhou, which falls under Liu Biao's jurisdiction, so once he proclaims himself emperor , Liu Biao will directly lose control of Nanyang.

This must be something Liu Biao cannot tolerate.

Moreover, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu Biao also turned against Uncle Sun in order to seize the jade seal handed down from the country, so he will definitely not tolerate the different surname Yuan Shu. The emperor's.

All factors combined, Liu Biao will definitely send troops to attack Yuan Shu, and a battle between them will be inevitable.

And although all the princes have long lost their loyalty to the Han, they are still Han ministers after all. If Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, it must be an unjust act, and Bo Fu can be freed from his control as a matter of course.

In addition, you don't have to feel bad about Chuanguo Jade Seal. When Yuan Shu and Liu Biao are both injured in the fight, our army will reap the benefits. , we can naturally take back the jade seal."

After hearing Zhou Yu's complete plan, Sun Ce immediately gave Zhou Yu the imperial seal and sent Huang Gai to escort Zhou Yu to Nanyang.

When Yuan Shu saw the imperial seal, he was naturally overjoyed. He thought that with this imperial seal, no one could stop him from ascending the throne and becoming emperor.
