Therefore, Cao Cao pointed the finger directly at the Sun-Liu coalition army as Kou Yan wished. And Sun Liu also made corresponding arrangements. On Liu Bei's side, there was a military advisor Zhuge Liang, and he didn't plan only for Wu Jun throughout the whole process. It is even more impossible for Guan Zhang and Zhao to command the soldiers of Wu Land, therefore. In essence, apart from getting Jiang Xia, Lord Wu did not get the slightest benefit from Liu Bei, and even Jiang Xia's resources could not be mobilized now.

However, this did not affect Lord Wu's arrangement. Zhou Yu was the left governor of the Western Waterway Army, and the right governor was Cheng Pu. Don't underestimate the difference between left and right, since ancient times, the right is up and the left is down, Sun Quan fell to the ground or chose the old general Cheng Pu to sit on Zhou Yu's head.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu has a good relationship with these Jiangdong generals, and the old general is also self-aware, knowing that it is not possible for him to control the overall situation in this kind of life-and-death war, and his energy and ability are not as good as the young Zhou Yu, so although there are high and low statuses, this combination is actually based on Zhou Yu's opinions, and Cheng Pu is supplemented.

In addition, a series of generals and young generals like Huang Gai, Lu Meng, Han Dang, Ling Tong, Sun Kuang, Lu Xun, etc., who could not be named, were all recruited and mobilized, and the entire national machine was mobilized.

In October, when the confrontation between Cao Cao's army and Zhou Yu's army officially began on the Yangtze River, Kou Yan received news from Wuxi that the fifteen ethnic minority tribes of Wuxi Barbarians had surrendered en masse. Willing to submit to Changsha. Kou Yan was determined. said to Xu Shu beside him: "I didn't expect Ji Chang, who was still a child two years ago, to make such a feat now." ”

"Yes, there will be motivation when there is pressure, and Ji Chang's future will be much farther than his brothers. Xu Shu said firmly.

"I remember that the teacher always liked him. Kou Yan smiled and said, "Now that Jiangdong is confronting that Cao thief, does the teacher think that our time has come?"

"Not yet, but you can take this opportunity to see how your two senior brothers took advantage of the right time and place to win this war in which the weak defeated the strong. After these few days of intensive interaction, the relationship between Xu Shu and Kou Yan has not improved, but the relationship between teachers and students has made great progress. Therefore, the two of them now get along more humanely. At least that's what Kou Yan himself thinks.

Today, she cherishes the time she spent with her teachers. As soon as I had free time, I invited the teacher to my side and talked to him, whether it was related to the war or nothing at all, the two of them could talk. Kou Yan enjoyed this mode of getting along very much, and it seemed that the relationship between them was much closer.

Now, Wuxi has officially written a table. Kou Yan discussed with Xu Shu whether to re-plan the three places of Guiyang, Lingling and Wuxi, and merge the land of Wuxi into the two counties respectively, so as not to increase management costs, not to add new Taishou and leadership groups, and to speed up the further integration of Wuxi barbarians and Han people. It's the best of both worlds.

Of course, it is only in the planning stage now, and the most important thing at the moment is not that although the land in this Wuxi area is barren and cannot be cultivated, there are rich natural resources underground, which were controlled by barbarians in the past, and they do not know how to use them rationally, and no matter how good the resources are, they have wasted them.

But now, Wuxi is in the hands of Kou Yan, and the first thing she has to do is to ask Wei Yan to send all the 5,000 soldiers who were originally stationed there in order to prevent Lingling Guiyang from going out again, to Wuxi, and establish a third military city in addition to Jianchang and Wuling.

With these 5,000 soldiers, they can not only serve as construction workers, build cities and roads, strengthen infrastructure construction, but also act as security teams and absenteeism. At this time, she couldn't help but realize that Cao Cao in the north was indeed very good at using the army. The tuntian system not only developed the economy but also ensured the strength of military strength. It is indeed worth learning from farming in peacetime, enlisting in the army in wartime, and fighting in production and war.

She still remembers that when she first listened to the analysis of this method by the people under her, she was still a little disdainful, and instead of practicing in peacetime, she went to farm, and once she really faced the war, where would her combat effectiveness come from! However, when she really encountered practical problems, she could not but admit that the method of tuntian was the best way to resolve the conflict between soldiers and laborers.

Therefore, when the Jianchang Military City was established later, Kou Yan still borrowed the method of the tuntian system from the north, allowing the soldiers to farm and feed themselves, which could reduce the burden of Changsha and benefit the people when it was handed over to the people in the future.

Therefore, although the land in the Wuxi area is barren and desolate, as long as there is sufficient labor force in the past, it will still be able to develop in three or five years, as for the natural resources in that place, Kou Yan does not want to use them now, after all, the living environment around him is still unstable, and if he rashly goes there to develop, in case someone with a heart gets the news and competes for it, he may not be sure that he can grab others. In short, it is not wrong to take up the space and clear the space now, so as to prepare for future development.

The matter of Wuxi was thrown away like this, and after delegating the combat strength of 5,000 people to Guiyang and Lingling Taishou, Wei Yan returned to the military base in Changsha with the newly recruited 6,000 barbarian soldiers and started a new integration training.

On the other side, the combined forces of Cao Cao and Sun and Liu had been facing each other on both sides of the Yangtze River for several days, and both sides were waiting for a suitable opportunity to attack. As the saying goes, everything is ready only to the east wind, and before the east wind blows, you still need to be patient.

That night, in the tent of the coalition army, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang, a "non-trivial" combination in Xu Shu's eyes, were drinking and chatting. The content of the chat, of course, is related to the future war.

"Brother Kong Ming, are you sure that in two days there will be the direction of the wind you want? "Zhou Yu's question is very strict, and it doesn't seem like a joke at all. After all, in his eyes, Zhuge Liang is an outsider, different from Pang Tong. He wants to beware of Zhuge Liang playing tricks on him.

Zhuge Liang smiled and picked up his glass: "I have already made a military order, what else is the governor worried about? What you hope for is also what I hope for, the wind will blow." ”

Zhou Yu sighed: "The lord and General Huang have already made great sacrifices, and I don't want their sacrifices to be in vain. If there is any offense, please forgive me. ”

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan indifferently: "The governor is polite, this matter is a matter of importance, the governor is out of caution, Kong Ming knows it." It's just that Du Du has thought that it is not difficult to defeat the Jingzhou naval army in this way, but once he goes ashore, there are ****** three horsemen over there, which are the elite of the world, and our soldiers are not good at horses, and if the fruits of this victory are not consolidated in time, it will also be a waste!"

Zhou Yu nodded when he heard this: "Sir's words are very true, on this point, I have already discussed it with Shi Yuan, although my Wu Land is famous for water warfare to the outside world, but our land combat ability is also very strong, this Mr. does not have to worry at all, our soldiers will definitely be able to catch Cao Thief and defend as an attack!"

What kind of temper is Zhou Yu. Even if he has a pimple with Sun Quan now, as the governor of the two armies of the waterway, how can he show weakness in front of Zhuge Liang?

However, he didn't know, or he didn't think at all, that this was Zhuge Liang playing a trick on him. In fact, he was also vaguely reminding the other party that he would not let Zhou Yushun catch Cao Cao.

That's right, Zhou Yu, who was thinking about dividing the world, was bent on defeating Cao Cao's main force and killing Cao Cao in Jiangnan. But Zhuge Liang, who thought that the world was divided into three parts, would never allow Cao Cao to be killed, if Cao Cao was killed now, and Liu Bei had not really started his business, wouldn't Dongwu have to turn the sky upside down? Is there still a way for Liu Bei to live? Without Liu Bei's way of life, why would he still be Liu Bei's military advisor?

Obviously, Sun Quan hadn't understood Zhuge Liang's vague meaning at this time, but Pang Tong on the side heard it. For a while, his eyes fell on Zhuge Liang's body, Zhuge Liang drank the wine so calmly, shook the fan, and had an expression of "I have already told you what I am going to do, you have the ability to stop me!" Pang lowered his head slightly and pondered, and finally could only sigh faintly.

Indeed, Zhuge Liang has no fear, it is true that Liu Bei does not have a descendant army, but he has descendant generals, as well as the Jiangxia people who hate Jiangdong to the core, if he has the heart to obstruct Zhou Yu's plan to arrest Cao Cao, Zhou Yu has no way to take him. And he was right, with the current strength of the army in Jiangdong. Even if there is no Liu Bei Group to get in the way, it will be difficult to catch up with Cao Cao, who is bent on escaping, let alone arresting him.

Therefore, the matter of arresting Cao Cao can only be said by Zhou Yu, and it may not be realized, and the best result they want to achieve is nothing more than to obtain the entire Jingzhou and rule the river with Cao Cao.
