Chapter 455 – Bringing the 9th Concubine Home
Zhang Zhao and Huang Gai explained about the complication of the Sun Family and the infighting between Sun Fang and Sun Ce, including their plan to invade Tong's territories.
"So, Huang Zu has already been bought by Zhou Yu?"
Huang Gai nodded, "Yes, your majesty. He has been stopping us from moving to Xiangyang since last year. We can't even leave the city without his escort soldiers."
"Ah, I get it."
Tong understood why Zhou Yu did that. Had Sun Quan and Wu Guotai surrender to him, their forces and their officers would have lost the interest of joining either Sun Fang or Sun Ce in rebelling against Tong. Instead, they would have followed after Wu Guotai's example.
"Please help our lady and her children out of this city. We'll do anything for you!"
They begged to get Wu Guotai and her children out of Huang Zu's influence, but they did not ask for their safety.
