Chapter 77: Counter-Calculation
"Ahh This thief didn't get some important news, so I'd rather go and capture him! As soon as Gan Ning heard what Meng Yao said, he stood up, picked up the saber on the ground, and was about to go out to chase after him.
"Boom and slow! This time Gong Jin's intention was to let him go back to Cao Ying, if not, how could he break Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops? Liu Feng hurriedly got up and grabbed Gan Ning, and hurriedly explained.
After speaking, seeing that Gan Ning was still at a loss, Liu Feng said again: "When Gong Jin went to the banquet to invite Jiang Gan before, I sent Cai Mao Zhang Yun's handwriting to Gong Jin, and Gong Jin must have written the letter between him and Jiangdong secretly according to the handwriting of these two people, Jiang Gan must have obtained the letter at this time, so he left in a hurry, wanting to report the matter to Cao Cao as soon as possible. Therefore, I can just wait for the news from Cao Ying, and I don't have to care. ”
In this way, Gan Ning only understood the cause and effect of this matter, but frowned and said: "I think this plan was made by General Ziwei, why was it implemented by Zhou Yu, once Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were killed by Cao Cao, such a great achievement would be counted on Gong Jin's head, but it has nothing to do with General Ziwei." ”
When Gan Ning first came to Liu Feng's command, he naturally had to consider Liu Feng in case of trouble, and in his opinion, he was robbed of the credit by Zhou Yu.
But Liu Feng just smiled indifferently when he heard this, and didn't care, and said: "This credit is not of much use to me, if it is too much, it will cause everyone to be angry, so I will simply give it all to Gongjin, at least until today, I and Jiangdong are still allies." ”
What Liu Feng thought in his heart, Gan Ning naturally didn't know, but he saw something different in Liu Feng's eyes, which made him even more convinced that the decision he made before was a very wise move.
After agreeing on this matter, Liu Feng knew that Zhou Yu must have fully comprehended the strategy he had arranged at this time, so he sent Gan Ning back to the camp to spy on the Pang Tong, but he summoned Meng Yao to the front again and asked in a low voice.
"The general is going to withdraw to Fankou at this time?" Meng Yao listened to Liu Feng's words, but was a little shocked in his heart, when Zhuge Liang replaced Liu Feng here, Liu Feng was unwilling in his heart, at this time, he saw that the strategy was about to succeed, and Liu Feng had already secretly taken Gan Ning under his command, but Liu Feng wanted to secretly return to Fankou, which really made Meng Yao puzzled, what Meng Yao thought in his heart was that Liu Feng should continue to wait here, once Cao Cao killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, he could take the opportunity to lead the troops to fight with Cao Cao's army, and then make new contributions, only so, Fang was able to keep pace with Guan Zhang and others under Liu Bei.
"It's not to go back immediately, just let Wei Yan prepare early, just wait for me to order, now my strategy has been known to Zhou Yu, although I see Zhou Yu is a kind person on the face, but the scheming is quite deep, once Cao Cao shows defeat, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhou Yu will not secretly attack us, so we should prepare early, just in case."
Liu Feng said this, Meng Yao knew what he was thinking, if Cao Cao did not have the Jingzhou generals to lead the army, it would be difficult for hundreds of thousands of troops to cross the river, and at that time, I am afraid that Cao Cao's defeat would have been achieved, and Sun Quan and Liu Bei's respective thoughts would be revealed, and if Liu Feng stayed in Zhou Yu's camp again, it would definitely not be a good thing.
After everything was ready, Liu Feng wrote a letter to Liu Bei, informing Liu Bei of the situation here, teaching him to prepare soldiers and horses, prepare early, and then pretend to be nothing and wait for news.
At noon on the second day, Zhou Yu hurriedly invited Liu Feng into the tent, as soon as Liu Feng arrived, Zhou Yu said excitedly: "Sure enough, Jiang Gan had stolen the letter overnight last night, and this morning, Cao Cao was angry and killed Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and several generals of the Jingzhou navy, but according to the report of our army's secret agents, there are still many Jingzhou generals who survived, but I don't know why." ”
"Cao Cao is the hero of the world, and his mind is also very smart, but he is a little suspicious, after killing Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, Cao Cao will connect this matter back and forth, and he will find that these two people were killed by him by mistake, so he can no longer recklessly move the remaining Jingzhou naval generals." Liu Feng smiled indifferently and explained.
"If it weren't for Ziwei's clever plan, how could it be so that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's two henchmen were removed, and now Cao Cao has been ordered to take full charge of the navy, then Yu Ban is a general brought by Cao Cao from the north, and he must not be familiar with the tactics of the navy, according to Ziwei's opinion, how should we deal with it now? Should we strike while the iron is hot, raid Cao Cao's army, and teach him to be in a hurry and not take care of each other? ”
Although Zhou Yu had some plans in his heart, he still asked Liu Feng that Liu Feng's previous strategy was still a little smarter than Zhou Yu's own thoughts, and now that Jiang Gan has won the strategy, all the credit is also on Zhou Yu, so Zhou Yu still wants to listen to Liu Feng's opinion and make plans again.
In Zhou Yu's heart, although Liu Feng is talented, he is a little sharp in front of him, and he doesn't know how to compete for credit, so he judged that Liu Feng's heart is still not very old, so he once again wants to set out Liu Feng's plan in his heart.
"According to Feng's opinion, at this time, we only need to strengthen our vigilance in the camp, send people to observe the movements of Cao Cao's army day and night, and wait to see Cao Cao's plan clearly, and then it is not too late to make a move, after all, Cao Cao still has more than 800,000 troops, once he is guarded against, the loss is a responsibility that you and I can't afford."
Zhou Yu pondered for a while, and felt that Liu Feng's words were also somewhat reasonable, so he nodded yes, and sent someone to inform Sun Quan of the matter.
When Liu Feng returned to the house, he summoned Wei Yan and told Wei Yan to pay close attention to the movements of Cao Cao's army, and once Cao Cao's army moved, he immediately informed Liu Feng, and took Liu Feng away from here and returned to Fankou in a light boat.
But two days later, Cao Cao's army still failed to move, which made Liu Feng confused, if Cao Cao was considering food and grass, he must want to end the battle quickly, but at this time, he did not advance, retreat and did not retreat, but he did not know what the reason was.
Just when Liu Feng speculated about what Cao Cao was thinking, Zhou Yu hurriedly recruited Liu Feng into the tent, Liu Feng was shocked when he learned about this, lest Zhou Yu wanted to remove Liu Feng secretly in the next few days in order to prevent Liu Feng from sitting big, but he had to go, so he could only take Wei Yan and go with the Qinghong sword.
But when he arrived at Zhou Yu's tent, Zhou Yu's look on his face made Liu Feng slightly relieved, only to see that Zhou Yu's face was very gloomy, and when he saw Liu Feng coming, he said to Liu Feng: "General Sun is very concerned about the war ahead, and he knows how the cooperation between our army and Liu Yuzhou's army is, so I named General Ziwei to go to Chaisang in person and inform General Sun of Cao Cao's situation. ”
As soon as Liu Feng heard this, he knew why Zhou Yu was like this, most of the time he took all the credit for himself in his letters to Sun Quan, but he rarely mentioned Liu Feng, so he was worried that Liu Feng would tell the truth, and things would not be beautiful at that time.
