Chapter 495 – Thwarted Plan
= A few months earlier before Zhou Yu raided Julu =
Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, and Sun Fang were hiding in Zhongshan as they bribed Zhen Yi with their treasures and their assets. They had collected everything in Jiangdong and fled to this city, hiding from the eyes of Tong and other immortals.
All of them refused to surrender to Tong even though Wu Guotai had become Tong's consort and Sun Quan had been titled as a prince.
As long as Sun Ce and Sun Fang surrendered, they could become princes as well. Yet, they denied Tong's authority.
Sun Fang was afraid that Tong would kill him to pay back for what he did to Hua Shi and Tong in the previous life.
Sun Ce was also too prideful to give up his reign. He was still mad at Tong because the latter stole his wife.
Zhou Yu was the same as Sun Ce. Tong stole Xiao Qiao from him, so this strategist did not want to bow his head to the emperor.
