How did it become a honey trap?
Diao Chan's maneuvering between Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu was what truly exemplifies the "beauty trap."
When Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's wife, Lady Liu, offered her second daughter-in-law, Lady Zhen, to Cao Pi as payment for a debt. That was what was known as the "beauty trap" or "golden cicada shedding its shell" strategy.
Sun Yi had already covered his mouth.
My second brother will say again that he hasn't thoroughly studied Sun Tzu's Art of War.
"It's not a honey trap, it's called deceiving everyone!"
Whether it's deceiving everyone or using deception to control reality, it all depends on what Huang Zu does.
Sun Quan said, "Brother, our scouts have reported that Huang Zu, Liu Hu, and Han Xi have joined forces. They have a total of 5,000 infantrymen, 20,000 naval troops, and more than 6,000 ships."
Sun Ce then summoned Sun Quan, Sun Yi, Lü Meng, Lü Fan, Han Dang, and Zhou Tai to his side and explained the situation to them.
Let them lead the troops on the left and right wings, advancing alongside Sun Ce in the middle.
Zhou Yu and Huang Gai led the Jiangdong navy to attack from the water.
Zhou Yu's navy was newly formed, and the ships were relatively small, but the soldiers, supplies, and arrows on board were ready.
Qiao Jingjing also gave Sun Ce a suggestion.
This adds another layer of doubt to Huang Zu's mind.
Then, have men of similar stature from the army dress in Sun Ce's attire and stand on Zhou Yu's boat with Qiao Jingjing.
They launched a major offensive against Huang Zu.
Huang Zu would never have imagined that the real Sun Ce had already led his cavalry and appeared in Huang Zu's base camp using his most proficient method of surprise attack.
Sun Ce and Sun Quan were also figures who fought battles for many years and believed that they were often good at using ingenious strategies.
Qiao Jingjing's idea is really brilliant.
However, there is one problem: Huang Zu's navy is large in number, and if Qiao Jingjing, a woman, stands in the most conspicuous position, she will become the target of a group attack once she is discovered.
"Too dangerous!"
Sun Ce thought for a while.
"No, that would put Da Qiao in grave danger."
Qiao Jingjing just stared at Sun Ce.
He went through all that trouble to bring her out to fight, was it just to pin the reputation of being his favorite on her? Now that she's taken on this title of being his favorite, how can she convince those who don't know the truth of her position if she doesn't achieve something?
If she doesn't actually put in any real effort, by the time Sun Ce defeats Huang Zu and returns to his home in Wu County, it will be too late.
Those who have jumped out to settle scores with her have long been sharpening their knives.
"Just focus on what you're doing! Bringing me out was already enough of a distraction for you. I'm not willing to be distracted by me at all! Just have someone pretend to be you. I have... two younger brothers with me."
And then there are Zhou Yu and Huang Gongfu! You don't believe in my abilities, but those two are incredibly resourceful and skilled in warfare.
Qiao Jingjing convinced everyone.
Only Sun Ce was very worried.
Qiao Jingjing then called Sun Ce aside.
“You are a man, destined for great things. How can you be more hesitant than a woman like me? Make a decision when you should. If I stay on the shore, I might still be ambushed by Huang Zu’s enemy forces.”
You're charging ahead in the thick of things, inevitably filled with fear and anxiety! Why don't you give me that chance?
I certainly don't possess your bravery and skill in close combat; this is the first time I've ever witnessed sailors fighting. If the situation becomes dire, I'll simply launch the light boat and escape.
"If Huang Zu's men are on all sides, how will you escape?"
Qiao Jingjing was amused by Sun Ce's nervous appearance.
"If I can't escape, then I won't. If Huang Zu captures me, I'll use my silver tongue to turn him against me. I'll wait for you to come and save me!"
!
Sun Ce panicked even more.
"No, I was just kidding. Don't worry. This time you're leading the troops eastward, you can only win, you can't afford to lose. Don't think about anything else, just quickly make your deployments."
