Chen Wu was furious after hearing this, got up and left his seat and pointed to the north and scolded: "The old thief deceived me too much!" ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly stopped him and said: "In the past, the Xiongnu repeatedly invaded the border, and the son of Han Tianzi promised to be a princess and a relative, so why not pity a woman now?" ”

Chen Wu and Zhuge Liang explained: "Mr. Kong Ming doesn't know: Cai Zhaoji is Wu's wife. ”

Zhuge Liang pretended to be frightened and said, "Liang really doesn't know. Speechlessness, capital offense! Capital crime! ”

Chen Wu said angrily: "I swear not to stand with the old thief!" ”

Zhuge Liang pretended to persuade and said: "You must think twice about things, so as not to regret it." ”

Chen Wu said: "I was entrusted by my eldest brother, how could I stoop to Cao? What Fang just said, so try each other's ears. Since I have returned from the training of soldiers and horses, I have the heart of the Northern Expedition, although the sword and axe are added, it is not easy to be ambitious! I hope Kong Ming will help and break the thief together. ”

Zhuge Liang bowed his hand and said: "If you don't give up, you are willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, and listen to the drive sooner or later." ”

Chen Wu nodded and said, "When I come to see General Zhennan, I will discuss raising troops." ”

The discussion was decided, Zhuge Liang said goodbye to Lu Su and left, Chen Wu snorted coldly: "Good you Zhuge Liang, you actually used the method of agitation to provoke me!" But I'm not Zhou Yu, you'd better be careful. ”

Early the next morning, Han Hao ascended to the church. On the left, there are more than 30 civil officials, including Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong; More than 30 people, including military attache Huang Zhong and Tai Shici on the right, were well-dressed and wearing swords, and sat in shifts.

After a while, Chen Wu came in and saw Han Hao. After the ceremony, after Han Hao's condolences, Chen Wu said: "I recently heard that Cao Cao led troops to Tun Han, and the book is so far, what is the meaning of General Zhennan?" ”

Han Hao ordered someone to bring the text to Chen Wu to see. After reading it, Chen Wu smiled and said: "Cao thief thinks that I have no one in Jiangdong, and I dare to insult each other like this!" ”

Han Hao asked, "What does Zilie mean?" ”

Chen Wu asked rhetorically: "Has the general consulted with the civil and military forces?" ”

Han Hao shook his head and sighed: "I have been discussing this matter for several days: there are those who persuade me to surrender, and there are those who persuade me to fight. My intention is undecided, so I ask Zilie to decide. ”

Chen Wu asked, "Who persuaded the general to surrender?" ”

Han Hao pointed at Zhang Zhao, Qin Song and the others and said, "Zhang Zibu and the others are all in their own hands. ”

Chen Wu then asked Zhang Zhaodao: "I wish Mr. Wen will surrender to the Lord." ”

Zhang Zhao said angrily: "Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to conquer the Quartet, and moved in the name of the imperial court: the closer and closer Jingxiang, the greater the power. I Jiangdong can refuse to, Yangtze River ear. Today, Cao Cao's warships, how many thousands? How can we go hand in hand with land and water? It's better to go down, and it's better to plan later. ”

Chen Wu said sharply: "This pedantic argument is also! Jiangdong is the foundation laid by the Marquis of Chu and us in the east and west, and once it is abandoned! ”

Han Hao asked, "If this is the case, will the plan be released?" ”

Chen Wu said: "Although Cao Cao is a Han minister, he is actually a thief. The general is a martial artist, entrusted by the Marquis of Chu to guard the great cause of Jiangdong, the soldiers are full of food, and they are rampant in the world, eliminating cruelty and violence for the country, so why surrender the thieves? And Cao Cao is here now, and he has committed many taboos of soldiers: the northern soil is not peaceful, Ma Teng and Han Sui are their aftermaths, and Cao Cao has been in the south for a long time, and he is also taboo; The Northern Army is not familiar with water warfare, manipulating saddle horses, fighting boats, competing with Jiangdong, and two taboos; It was also cold in the middle of winter, and the horses had no grass, and the three taboos were also; drove the soldiers of the Central Plains, waded far into the rivers and lakes, did not accept the water and soil, had many diseases, and the four taboos. Cao Bing committed this number of taboos, although there are many, he will be defeated. The general captured Cao Cao, and it is today. Chen Wu is willing to invite tens of thousands of elite soldiers to enter Tunxiakou and break it for the general! ”

Han Hao stood up abruptly and said: "The Cao thief wants to abolish the Han and stand on his own for a long time, and the position of the general of my Zhennan is sealed by the Son of Heaven, not by him Cao Thief!" I and the old thief, I swear not to be separated! Zi Lie's words should be attacked, which is very much in line with my wishes. On this day, I will protect Jiangdong with my son. ”

Chen Wu said again: "I will fight a bloody battle for the general, and I will never give up." I'm afraid the general will hesitate. ”

Han Hao pulled out the Tai'a sword on the sword stand behind the main seat, cut off the corner of the table in front of him with a sword, and said sharply: "All the officials will have someone who will surrender to Cao again, and there will be the same case!" ”

After Han Hao finished speaking, he gave the Tai'a sword to Chen Wu, that is, Chen Wu was named a general, Tai Shici was a deputy general, and Lu Su was a military captain. If there is a civil and military attaché who does not obey the order, he will be killed with a sword.

Chen Wu took the Tai'a sword and said to everyone: "When the Marquis of Chu left, he entrusted Jiangdong to General Zhennan, and I was ordered by General Zhennan to be ordered by the Marquis of Chu. If it is delayed, it will be punished according to the seven prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings. ”

After Chen Wu finished speaking, he said goodbye to Han Hao and got up to leave the house. All the civil and military officers didn't say anything, and they dispersed.

When Chen Wu returned to his accommodation, he asked Zhuge Liang to discuss the matter. After Zhuge Liang came, Chen Wu said: "Today's public discussion has been decided, and I am willing to seek a good policy for Cao." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and replied: "General Zhennan's heart is not stable yet, so he can't make decisions." ”

Chen Wu asked, "What is mental instability?" ”

Zhuge Liang explained: "There are many cowardly Cao soldiers, and they are outnumbered. The general can use the actual strength of Cao's army to dissolve it, so that it is clear and undoubted, and then great things can be accomplished. ”

Chen Wu exclaimed: "Sir's argument is very good. ”

Chen Wu then went to see Han Hao again, and Han Hao asked, "Zilie is here late at night, there must be something important?" ”

Chen Wu asked: "Is the general suspicious about the transfer of military horses in Japan?" ”

Han Hao sighed: "But I am worried that Cao Cao has many soldiers and is outnumbered. He had no doubts. ”

Chen Wu said with a smile: "I am here to exonerate the general for this. Because the general saw Cao Cao's writing, he said that there were millions of water and land troops, so he was suspicious and afraid, and he did not expect his truth and reality. Compared with the actual situation today, the soldiers of the Central Plains are only 1120,000, and they have been tired for a long time; The people of the Yuan family were also limited to seventy or eighty thousand ears, and there were still many doubts and unconvinced. The husband is tired for a long time, and the people who are lonely and suspicious, although there are many of them, they are not enough to fear. Chen Wu had 50,000 soldiers and was self-sufficient. May the general not be worried. ”

Han Hao patted Chen Wu's shoulder and said, "Zi Lie's words are enough to relieve my doubts. Zibu has no plan and is deeply lonely; The only son, Lie and Zijing, are of the same heart and ears as me. You can march forward with Zijing and Tai Shici on the same day. I should continue to send people and horses, and carry more food for your future. If your army is not satisfied, you will come back and join me. I should fight a decisive battle with Cao Thief, and there is no doubt about it. ”

Chen Wu thanked him and thought to himself: "Zhuge Liang is really like a god, and he will be in trouble for Jiangdong in the future." Back then, a Zhou Yu almost used the defeated army to reverse the situation in Jiangdong, and now there is a Zhuge Liang who doesn't know the real strength, so it is better to kill him earlier to avoid future troubles. ”

Chen Wu then sent someone to invite Lu Su into the account overnight to discuss the killing of Zhuge Liang. Lu Su objected: "No. Now that the thief has not been broken, he will kill the wise man first, and he will help him. ”

Chen Wu said again: "This person helps Liu Du, and it will be a disaster for Jiangdong." ”

Lu Su persuaded: "Zhuge Jin is his own brother, wouldn't it be wonderful to recruit his colleague Jiangdong?" ”

Chen Wu agrees with this suggestion, as far as the current point of view, although this Zhuge Liang is not as wise and almost demonic as Romance, he cannot deny his strategy and ability because of this. He is an all-round talent, he can be a military advisor, he can be a prime minister, and he can lead troops to fight.

The next day, Chen Wu went to the camp and sat in the military tent. Standing on the left and right with swords and axes, gathering civil officials and military generals to listen to orders. Sun Quan knew that Cao Cao's army would go down to Jiangdong, although Cao Cao had a great enmity with him for killing his brother, but he wished that Han Hao and Chen Wu would fight each other, so that he could take the opportunity to recapture Wu County.

Sun Quan was sick and did not come, so Zhu Zhi's adopted son Zhu Ran came on his behalf. Chen Wu ordered the generals to say: "The king has no relatives, and it is the duty of all the kings to abide by it." Fang Jin Cao Cao took power, even more than Dong Zhuo, imprisoned the Son of Heaven in Xuchang, and stationed riot soldiers on the border. I am now ordered to ask for it, and all the kings are fortunate to work hard. The army shall not disturb the people everywhere. Reward and punish crimes, and there must be no favoritism. ”

Chen Wu immediately ordered Gan Ning and Huang Zhong to be the vanguard of the front, lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and set off from now on, go to the village of Sanjiangkou, and don't listen to the general's orders; Tai Shici and Guan Hai are the second team; Zhong Xuan and Gongsun Yang are the third team; Jiang Qin and Lu Meng are the fourth team; Lu Xun and Zhu Huan are the fifth team; Lu Fan and Chen Qun were the patrol envoys of the Quartet, urging the officials and troops of the nine counties to advance by land and water, and to take all the time. After the transfer was completed, the generals packed up their ships and weapons and set off.

Zhu Ran sent someone back to see Sun Quan, saying that Chen Wu had a law to transfer troops. Sun Quan was shocked: "I originally thought that Chen Wu was just a brave man, so I don't have to worry about it; If this can be done now, Cao Cao may not be able to win, I can't act rashly! ”
