Cao Jun has not made any major movements since he was stationed in the camp, and it seems that he has no plans to send troops again in a short period of time.

"Wow." The wood pulp was submerged in the water, and the water was pushed by a small boat, and on the boat sat a man dressed in a lily coat, with some fishing gear beside him, and it seemed to be a passing fisherman.

It's just that I don't know if any fisherman would be so bold as to dare to come to fish nearby when the two armies are fighting. In the distance is Cao Ying, the boat is not too close, and the fisherman on the boat looks at Cao Ying's camp from a distance by the river.

There weren't even a few soldiers guarding the camp in Cao's camp, and they all looked like they were unintentionally guarded, and their morale was low.

A soldier of the Cao army on his side seemed to see him.

The fisherman withdrew his gaze and picked up a fishing net beside him and pretended to be about to drop it.

The soldier walked away under the camp wall as if he was not prepared to care about him.

With a sigh of relief, the fisherman's gaze continued to look around Cao Ying.

After some time, he saw a group of soldiers come out of the side of the camp, with cloths on their mouths and noses, and behind them a cart, covered with sackcloth, and he could not tell what was inside.

It wasn't until the soldiers reached a fenced-in clearing that they stopped and lifted the linen from the cart, revealing its contents. The fisherman's hand flickered, and he saw a pile of corpses and the armor of the soldiers on the cart.

The soldiers lowered the corpses and armor into the clearing, and then burned them with a fire.

The black smoke of burning rose by the river, and the fisherman lowered his head, collected the net he had just cast, and left the river to row into the distance.

"That's all you see?"

Sitting at the table was a man in his thirties, handsome and beautiful, but without a little femininity, and his eyes were sharp under his neat horizontal eyebrows. Dressed in a suit of iron armor, with one hand on his chin, he listened with interest to the report of the detective.

If Gu Nan would definitely be able to recognize him here, although the two had not seen each other for many years, Zhou Yu had indeed not changed much this time.

The detective in front of Zhou Yu was the fisherman who was fishing in the river.

"Yes, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes."

"Hmm." Zhou Yu let go of his chin and waved his palm: "You go down." ”

"Yes!"

The detective retreated, and Zhou Yu sat silently, looking at the pen in his hand with his eyes down, thinking about what the detective had reported.

The morale of the army was low, they had no intention of fighting, and there were teams burning corpses and armor in the open field, and in recent days, it was true that smoke rose from the Cao camp on the other side of the river (in fact, it was cooking medicine).

It seems that the plague of this Cao army is still there, and it is getting heavier and heavier.

Most of Cao Cao's troops were not good at waterway warfare, and the Jingzhou naval army under his command was not enough to run-in, so it was difficult to deploy, and now this plague had to be added.

"Smack." Zhou Yu pressed the pen in his hand on the table, and the corners of his mouth raised.

"There is a chance that this battle will be won."

But then there was a little doubt in his eyes, and he was still unsure of something.

"Governor." Zhou Yu's thoughts were interrupted, and a soldier walked in first.

"Liu Bei's military division Zhuge Liang asks to see him."

"Oh?" Hearing the soldier's words, Zhou Yu's expression moved, and he was also very interested in Liu Bei's military division. On the way back, he had already heard Zijing say more than once.

It's just that he wasn't there at the time, otherwise he would have been able to watch a good show.

Moreover, this Zhuge Kongming had a great reputation among celebrities and scholars when he did not go out of the mountain.

Mr. Wolong······

Zhou Yu said thoughtfully to the soldier, "Please let him in." ”

When Zhuge Liang walked into the tent, he happened to meet Zhou Yu's gaze, and the two looked at each other a few times.

"Zhuge Liang has seen the governor." Zhuge Liang spoke up first, smiling and holding his feather fan and saluting.

"Mr. Kong Ming is very polite." Zhou Yu smiled and raised his hand, and said to a prepared table, "Please take a seat." ”

"Tsedudu."

Waiting for Zhuge Liang to take a seat, Zhou Yu continued: "I heard the name of Zhuge Wolong a few days ago, and I am fortunate to finally see it today. ”

"The governor said with a smile, a cloth coat is not worth the governor's concern."

Zhuge Liang shirked the duplicate name that Zhou Yu had voted, stopped saying these polite words, and turned to get down to business.

"Liang came here today because I want to ask the governor for something."

If you are not proud of your fame, this kind of bearing is far better than those celebrities who do nothing under the fame.

Zhou Yu nodded secretly, and his attitude towards Zhuge Liang was much better.

"Sir, please say it, I don't dare to say it, but it's okay to discuss it with Mr."

"That Liang said bluntly."

Zhuge Liang held the feather fan in front of him.

"Now that Cao Cao's army is on the side, I don't know how the governor will see the outcome of this battle."

Hearing Zhuge Liang mention Cao Jun, Zhou Yu's eyes changed slightly when he looked at him, and then he laughed and said.

"Cao's army raised 200,000 troops to attack, although the land of Jiangdong is dangerous, but it is not so simple to hold Cao Cao. However, we are not without a chance of winning. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Yu slowly raised his three fingers.

"First, among the 200,000 troops, more than 100,000 were originally cavalry troops, and they came from the north without water, and they were not adapted to water and soil, and their combat strength was damaged.

Second, the Jingzhou Navy was newly under Cao Cao's account, which was difficult to deploy, and there was a lot of friction with Cao Cao's troops. At the time of the first battle a month ago, it was obvious that Cao Cao's dispatch of troops and horses was extremely inconvenient. ”

Third, Cao Jun is now plagued and morale is low, and I feel that I can take advantage of the situation. ”

"In this way, the odds of winning should be in five or five." Zhou Yu's gaze looked at Zhuge Liang.

"Even so, Cao Cao still has 200,000 troops in hand, and it is still not easy to defeat Cao's army."

"And I have an old man who is still in Cao Ying, and his vision and strategy are probably better than me, and I don't know the outcome of the battle against him."

Although there are 200,000 troops on the side, Zhou Yu has been talking and laughing from beginning to end.

Until he mentioned this old man, his eyes showed some embarrassment and helplessness.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu's appearance, paused, and nodded.

"I also have an old man who works in Cao Ying, but at this time, it is not the same time."

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, smiled and sighed, indeed, this time is no longer what it was back then.

He looked at Zhuge Liang again and asked, "Mr. Kong Ming, my odds have been said, why don't you tell me what Mr. Kong Ming's chances are?" ”

In fact, Zhou Yu already had his own answer in his heart, and what he asked was just testing Zhuge Liang's thoughts.

Zhuge Liang understood this, was not dissatisfied, and said lightly holding his feather fan.

"Since ancient times, using soldiers to win more with less is nothing more than cutting off food to attack the heart, and the method of water, fire, earth and stone. And the odds of winning this battle..."

He paused for a moment and said to Zhou Yu's gaze.

"When the fire is attacking."

Both of them looked at each other with a light smile.

What they were thinking coincided with.

But Zhou Yu still continued to ask: "Mr. Kong Ming, Cao Cao's camp is more than ten miles along the river, how can it be burned down?" ”

This is also his doubt, and he has not yet thought of a countermeasure.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand, stood up and walked to the camp gate, opened the curtain and looked at the river in the distance outside.

"Do you know that the governor is on fire?"

······

Wulin, where Cao Cao's camp was located, was to the west of Chibi, and the river bank there was a notch, and the river at the front of it flowed inward. As long as you can get close to the front of Cao's camp and ignite that piece of river, the fire will spread to the entire Cao army's camp, as for how to ignite the river. Water is naturally impossible to ignite, but what if it's fire oil?

When Zhuge Liang left, Zhou Yu sat alone in the tent, squinting his eyes.

"Fire on the water."

It's really a strange strategy, but if you want to do this, someone must lead the ship deep into Cao Ying, and then you need to surrender.

The plague was rampant in Caoying, and if someone from Jiangdong had surrendered to him at this time, he would have been overjoyed.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Yu's tent was still lit.

Instead of falling asleep, he wrote a letter on the table.

One of the passages in that letter goes like this.

"Brother Xian, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you also came to Jiangdong? In today's situation, if you want to come and invite you to drink, you can't come. Oh, the scenery of Jiangdong is the same as before, but it is a pity that people can't be the same.

But speaking of which, when you said that you were not among the princes, I wondered where your ambition was, and you just pointed to the box behind you and said, inside. Brother is stupid, and I still can't guess where your ambitions are. If you have the chance, I really hope you can answer for my brother.

After the virtuous brother went, although I was in Jiangdong, I also heard a lot of things about the virtuous brother. Help Cao Cao to enter Qingzhou, wave his army to the north, and pacify the Central Plains in one fell swoop, I think these are all the handiwork of the virtuous brothers. To tell a joke, if there is no virtuous brother, where is the Cao Cao, if you are a virtuous brother, you come to Jiangdong, why is Jiangdong afraid of Cao Cao?

······”

Until he wrote the last word and put down the pen in his hand, Zhou Yu looked at the letter in front of him and sighed lightly.

"It's ridiculous, this should have been a letter to an old friend."

The letter in front of me is not a letter to an old friend, but a part of the strategy.

He wrote this letter believing that this old man of his would be suspicious and deceitful, lest the plan be exposed.

He didn't need this letter to have any big effect, Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, he just needed to let Cao Cao have a little reservation about the person who received the letter.

In this way, at least in this battle, Cao Cao will not necessarily listen to the words of that person.

He hadn't written to that man in a long time, and he didn't expect to write again.

When the letter was sealed, Zhou Yu's hand suddenly stopped.

After thinking for a while, he opened the letter again, but this time he seriously picked up his pen and added a sentence at the end of the letter.

"I heard that the plague has been prevalent in Cao Yingzhong recently, and the epidemic is difficult to treat, and I hope that the virtuous brother will pay more attention."

After writing, he silently sealed the letter.

The next day, a letter was "secretly" delivered to Gu Nan, but Gu Nan told Cao Cao about it that day.

"Hahaha." Cao Cao read this letter, which was called a letter to a friend, but in fact it persuaded to surrender to discord.

Touching his beard and shaking his head and laughing, everything was as expected, after knowing that Cao Ying's "epidemic was everywhere", the people of Jiangdong really had to make some moves.

"It seems that someone can't sit still."
