Chapter 74: You Must Be Necessary
"Zhou Yu's house, quite unruly, my strategy is always not supported, today there is a saying that this retreat, you have to go! I don't know what kind of tacit understanding Ziwei and Zhou Yu have! ”
Zhuge Liang was obviously a little dissatisfied with Liu Feng at this time, just because when he was in Zhou Yu's camp, he learned that Cao Cao was actively training the naval army on the bank of the river, but he had not yet formed a combat force, so he proposed a night attack strategy with Zhou Yu, asking Zhou Yu to cooperate with him to send 20,000 troops, and Zhuge Liang as the main commander.
Because when Zhuge Liang arrived, Cao Cao had already practiced the five-day army, according to Zhuge Liang's mind at the time, the Jiangdong naval army was quite familiar with the situation on the Yangtze River, and it itself could know the weather in advance by observing the heavenly phase, and the fog on the river was frequent, and Zhuge Liang had already formulated a plan to attack Cao's camp at night.
Cao Cao encircled the northern sergeants in one place to concentrate on training, if this plan succeeded, it would make Cao Cao's naval army completely lost, so Zhuge Liang's mind was to use the number of 40,000 naval troops to carry out this strategy, even if it failed, it could also disrupt its training naval army, and further destroy its morale.
But Zhuge Liang never thought that Zhou Yu would scoff at his strategy, but he said that the risk of the raid was too great, and once the elites of both sides suffered losses, it would be unbearable, and he did not believe in Zhuge Liang's mention of observing the heavenly phenomena, and he was also a Jiangdong general, and for some reason he was also cold to Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang persuaded him for three or four days, but Zhou Yu and others were unmoved.
Without the 30,000 water troops in Jiangdong, Liu Bei's 20,000 soldiers will inevitably not be able to complete the raid, so Zhuge Liang can't say that Zhou Yu can move Zhou Yu, so he has to ask him what strategy he has to retreat from the enemy, how can Zhou Yu also keep silent about Zhuge Liang, with Gan Ning and Cheng Pu as the leader, the Jiangdong generals are even more blunt that Zhuge Liang can only take advantage of his tongue, unless he charges ahead and leads his troops to match the enemy, otherwise he will not listen to Zhuge Liang's words.
In the end, Zhuge Liang was extremely angry and asked to leave, Zhou Yu only made it clear that unless Liu Feng went, he could help him defeat Cao Cao, and there was no other way.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang hurried back and made the matter clear to Liu Bei, and in and out of his words, he also had some slight words about Liu Feng, but Liu Bei remembered the situation in Jiangdong that Liu Feng had said before, and did not believe that Liu Feng and Zhou Yu could collude, so after some thought, he still decided to send Liu Feng to Zhou Yu's camp, so he urgently summoned Liu Feng.
"When fighting, Feng and Jiangdong generals did have a little tacit understanding, the taste, I am afraid that the military division has not been to the battlefield, it is not known, but Zhou Yu's words, but there is no reason, Feng is a person who charges into battle, to his camp, just according to Zhou Yu's strategy, to the battlefield to lead the army to meet the enemy, and the military division is a strategic person, both with Sun Quan, in the same army, how can there be two people strategizing, so Zhou Yu ignores the strategy of the military division, because of his narrow-mindedness, what does Feng have to do? Now that the military advisor has returned from the scene, it doesn't hurt to go again, even if everything is in the front, it is just to make some preparations for his father's plan. ”
Liu Feng's false and real words made Zhuge Liang speechless, on the other hand, Liu Bei, but he was quite moved in his heart, in Liu Bei's view, Zhou Yu is nothing more than unable to let go of the position of the boss, in the final analysis, once Cao Cao is broken, Zhou Yu is the person who has achieved fame, how can such a famous thing be given to Zhuge Liang? And Liu Feng, in order to ensure the stability of the alliance, would rather risk his life and lead the Jiangdong soldiers to charge forward, such a person arrived in the camp, compared to Zhuge Liang and other people who can only give advice, how can Zhou Yu be unhappy?
At that moment, Liu Bei comforted Zhuge Liang again, and told Liu Feng to go this time, he must put safety first, and not act recklessly when resisting the enemy, so he let Liu Feng leave. Liu Feng only took Meng Yao and dozens of elite soldiers with him as usual, and sent Wei Yan and Li Chuang to inspect back and forth between Fankou and Zhou Yu's camp and Cao Cao's army.
When the Jiangdong generals saw Liu Feng go and return, they naturally had another greeting, but when Liu Feng looked at Zhou Yu, he saw that there was some impatience on his face, obviously uneasy, this scene had already been in Liu Feng's heart.
Sure enough, after a short time, Zhou Yu dismissed the generals, leaving only Liu Feng by his side, and asked with an anxious face: "Now Cao Cao has been training on the river for nine days, and seeing that his northern soldiers have gradually understood the method of fighting on the ship, Ziwei said before to wait for the change, waiting for the opportunity, but now there is no scene of feng shui grass movement, I have rejected Zhuge Liang's sneak attack the day before yesterday, what should I do today?" ”
Zhou Yu naturally wanted to inflict a heavy blow on Cao Cao without spending a single soldier, but the more time passed, the more bottomless Zhou Yu's heart became, for fear that Liu Feng's words were not the reality.
"Gong Jin is waiting for a day with peace of mind, if Cao Cao still has no movement, Feng will personally lead 10,000 elite sailors to sneak attack, and Cao Cao's deployment will be disrupted, and he will not be taught to complete the drill!"
After Liu Feng said this, Zhou Yu didn't want to ask again, so he sighed, sent Liu Feng back to the house to rest, and waited patiently.
According to his expectations, Cao Cao would definitely take advantage of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to train the northern sergeants to send someone to Zhou Yu to inquire about the situation, on the one hand, to verify Zhou Yu's determination to form an alliance with Liu Bei again, and on the other hand, to find out whether the Jiangdong Navy had something to do with Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others.
Liu Feng deliberately sent Gan Ning to shuttle in front of Cai Mao several times before, but let him go back into the formation, knowing that Cao Cao would definitely know, with Cao Cao's temperament, if he didn't send someone here, how could he rest assured that hundreds of thousands of sailors would be under the command of Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and those Jingzhou navy generals?
"In Cao Cao's array, there are not only Jiang Gan and his ilk, but also many people who had old people with Zhou Yu under Na Danyang and Yuan Shu before, and they definitely won't believe Cai Mao in vain!" Liu Feng looked at the map in front of him, preparing for how to sneak attack Cao Cao's army in case of miscalculation, while muttering in his mouth.
After a night, during the day of the second day, Zhou Yu did not come to Liu Feng to inquire again, but Liu Feng was a little uneasy in his heart, and after noon, he was already waiting in the house in armor, and secretly decided in his heart that once there was no movement when it was dark, he could only lead 10,000 coalition troops to attack Cao Cao's camp at midnight, causing chaos to Cao Cao's army, so that he could hold on for some more time.
Just when Liu Feng was about to send his sergeants to Fankou to ask Liu Bei to transfer troops, he saw Gan Ning coming in a hurry, and as soon as he arrived in Liu Feng's house, he hurriedly said: "Cao Cao actually sent a small boat to carry a Gongjin deceased, and that person arrived immediately, Gongjin asked General Ziwei to discuss!" ”
