Chapter 423: The Heroes (I)

Although Cao's '' side was annoyed by the defeat in the first battle, the mood of everyone on Jiangdong's side was not optimistic.

Before the war, Sun Jian was full of ambition and must capture the water village at the mouth of the three rivers. However, this goal was not achieved in the end, and although it won a small victory, it also caused a loss of 4,000 men.

Judging from the final result, the Jiangdong Army won, but this victory was not something to be happy about at all. Before the war, Lu Xun and other Cao generals did not see the strength of the Jiangdong Naval Army, but the Jiangdong side greatly belittled the Cao Army's naval combat capabilities.

In fact, although Cao's water warfare ability is not as good as that of the Jiangdong Army, under Cai Mao's training day and night, it has indeed made a qualitative leap compared to before.

If it were a few years ago, before Cao's fleet fled back to Shuizhai, the Jiangdong Navy would have had enough time and ability to annihilate it. In that way, even if you encounter an ambush after breaking into the water village, you will have enough room to deal with it.

After this battle, the Jiangdong generals who knew the true combat strength of the Cao army also looked a little grim.

Cao Jun's water army does have a gap with his own water army, but this gap is much smaller than originally thought.

So whether it was Sun Jian, Zhou Yu, or others, everyone else fell into thought.

War must be fought, but how to fight is a question worth discussing.

It is not that it is enough to repel Cao Cao, but in this war, on the premise of repelling Cao Cao's aggression, it is necessary to preserve our own forces as much as possible and not to suffer too heavy losses.

After all, these 150,000 soldiers are all the family resources of Jiangdong, and if the losses are too heavy, even if they win a battle, it will only make the situation in Jiangdong develop in a worse direction.

Zhou Yu was in his governor's mansion, thinking hard about a strategy to fight against Cao's army.

The person on whom Cao Jun's navy relied was Cai Mao. If Cai Mao, the eye-catching stone, can be removed, Zhou Yu is fully sure that he can win this battle, and it will be a big victory.

But how easy is it to remove this stone? Discord seems to be the only solution, but how do you put it into practice? Send someone to Cao Ying to spread rumors? Cao '' is not a faint master, he can't believe such a simple strategy, rumors and the like have no effect at all.

What should I do?

Just when Zhou Yu was thinking about it, someone suddenly came to report: "There is a scribe who calls himself Jiang Gan and Jiang Ziyi, saying that he is an old friend of the Metropolitan Governor, and he asks to see the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Jiang Gan? Zhou Yu is naturally no stranger to this name. Jiang Gan is his old classmate, although he does not have any ability to go through the heavens and latitudes, but he also has some talent and demeanor, and he also has some friendship with himself in the past.

It's just that it is reported that Jiang Gan had already joined Cao Cao's 'Cao' a few years ago and held a position that was not too big or small.

Isn't it, to be the lobbyist of the thief?

At that moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhou Yu's mind, and he thought of a clever plan.

Zhou Yu smiled, smiling confidently and proudly.

He was worried about how to eradicate Cai Mao, and God gave him such a good opportunity. Zhou Yu believes that as soon as his plan comes out, Cai Mao will definitely die.

"Ziyi, Ziyi, the two armies are 'fighting' for their own masters, don't blame me for cheating you."

----------------------------------------------------------------

"Ziyi, don't come here to be harmed, are you?" Zhou Yu had a warm smile on his face, and trotted in front of Jiang Gan with a bear hug.

"Thanks to Gongjin, everything is fine with the foolish brother." Jiang Gan saw that Zhou Yu was so enthusiastic, and he didn't forget the old friendship, he couldn't help but feel more stable in his heart, and said with a smile.

"It has been more than ten years since I said goodbye in the past. Ziyi came to Jiangdong here, did he come to defect to King Wu? Zhou Yu took Jiang Gan's arm, and walked towards the governor's mansion with him, while saying with a smile, "Ziyi, although rest assured, if you serve King Wu, I will make a statement to King Wu and promise you a good deal." ”

"Gongjin said with a smile, the foolish brother is here, not to serve Jiangdong." After entering the Governor's Mansion, Jiang Gan and Zhou Yu sat separately as guests, and at this moment, seeing Zhou Yu open his mouth to recruit him, Jiang Gan felt a little embarrassed, he was here to plot against Zhou Yu, but the other party persuaded him to serve Sun Jian first.

"Oh? Didn't Ziyi come to vote for me Jiangdong? Zhou Yu feigned a surprised expression, and then returned to normal, "Even so, it doesn't matter, Ziyi likes to be that idle cloud and wild crane, and it is difficult for him to be strong." It's just that you and I can't be colleagues and work together, it's a pity. That's it, today you and I only talk about friendship, nothing else. ”

Who likes to be an idle cloud and a wild crane? Jiang Gan was a little anxious, only talking about friendship and nothing else? So how can I do it, I still have a lot to say.

"Gong Jin, Gong Jin, and listen to the foolish brother." Although Jiang Gan was eager in his heart, he still pretended to be peaceful and said to Zhou Yu.

"What do you have to say?" Zhou Yu sneered inwardly, looking like he was about to get into the main topic.
