Chapter 64: Hit it off
Seeing Zhou Yu's eagerness, Liu Feng had a bottom in his heart, smiled contemptuously, and said: "The 500,000 troops obtained by Cao Cao's integration of the northern soldiers are not naval armies, and they are not proficient in water warfare, this is one of them; Cao Cao had less than 200,000 Jingzhou naval troops, so he was full of arrogance in his heart, and he wanted to wave his army south, first destroy Jiangxia, and then try Jiangdong, which is the second. Feng said this, did General Gongjin have any understanding? ”
Zhou Yu listened, his eyes were condensed, his face showed a thoughtful look, and after a long time, he said: "According to General Ziwei's opinion, the main force of Cao Cao's army this time is the nearly 200,000 sailors in Jingzhou?" ”
"Yes, if you can strangle the combat power of the nearly 200,000 naval forces in Jingzhou, then my Sun-Liu Alliance will definitely be able to break Cao Cao!" Liu Feng saw that Zhou Yu had already understood the meaning of what he said, so he wanted to say no more.
But at this time, a general behind Zhou Yu heard it but walked forward, this person is about forty years old, his appearance is strange, quite a demeanor, but there are several scars on his face, although it is not very conspicuous, it is also quite terrifying when seen closely, I saw his eyes look at Liu Feng, and then he said sharply: "Liu Feng Xiaoer, don't want to deceive people here, how can we not know that Cao Cao integrated the Jingzhou Navy, only now has the strength, but the Jingzhou Navy, how can it be easy to match the generation, Cai Mao Zhang Yun and others, although the martial arts are the last stream, but the law of water warfare is also quite proficient." As early as more than ten years ago, I knew its roots, and now all of them have returned to Cao Cao, and we have only 50,000 soldiers, so how can we fight it? ”
Liu Feng knew at a glance that the general was Cheng Pu, since Sun Jianshi, he followed his northern and southern campaigns, and the destruction of the Yellow Turban also had its own credit, among the generals in Jiangdong, it was the elderly, at this time and Zhou Yu were listed as the governors of Jiangdong left and right, and as soon as he finished speaking, most of the ministers in Jiangdong behind him were silently bowing their heads to show their approval, but Liu Feng peeked at Zhou Yu, but saw that Zhou Yu had a bit of embarrassment on his face, so he secretly kept this matter in his heart.
Cheng Pu's remarks had already broken the balance between Liu Feng and Zhou Yu, and Liu Feng had no choice but to give him a deep salute and replied: "Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are indeed proficient in commanding the navy, but they are also new people, who have just descended to Cao, and the two are very useful in Cao Cao's eyes, so Cao Cao will not delve into the roots of the two, otherwise with Cao Cao's temperament, the two have led the army for many years, and I am afraid that they have already become the soul of Cao Cao's sword." ”
"So what? When those two break with Cao Cao, I am afraid that the six counties in Jiangdong will already have the surname Cao! Liu Feng heard this, and took a closer look at the expressions on the faces of the generals behind Zhou Yu, and his heart confirmed his previous judgment more and more, and the light in his eyes flashed.
"Dare to ask General Cheng, the Jiangdong Navy has been operating for many years, and there will never be only twenty or thirty thousand, and now Cao Cao is coming with a large army of millions, if it weren't for the generals who didn't put Cao Cao's northern army in their eyes, how could they be so light on the enemy?" Liu Feng said this, with a hint of a smile on his face, so that people could see it as a joke, but even so, as soon as this remark came out, Liu Feng observed it, but saw that the generals were a little unhappy on their faces, which made it even more solid what they thought, but Liu Feng also knew that this was not the time to pick out his thoughts, so he pressed his curiosity and smiled even more.
"Feng is young and ignorant, saying this joke, I hope that the generals will not be strange, not strange." Liu Feng saw that the scene was cold, and hurriedly said another smile, seeing that Cheng Pu and the others looked better, so he gave up.
"General Ziwei is too worried, according to what General Ziwei said, if you can get rid of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, Cao Cao will definitely do nothing when he goes south this time, yes or no?" Zhou Yu obviously understood the meaning of Liu Feng's words before, and wanted to discuss it with Liu Feng in private, but at this time, he had to turn the topic back.
"These two people are indeed the people who must be eliminated, but not at this time, although Cao Cao does not have a million troops, but it is also at least seven or eight hundred thousand, now the march is here, and take the waterway, the grain and grass are more inconvenient, and the consumption is huge, so Cao Cao thought at this time, it must be a quick battle, our soldiers are only 50,000 hoards gathered here, it has nothing to do, so first consume Cao Cao's sharp energy, it is the king's way. When his sharp energy is exhausted and he has not gained an inch, he can get rid of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun with a little subplan. ”
Liu Feng said as he spoke, Zhou Yu's eyes had a little more brilliance, although if he was allowed to face Cao Cao's army alone, Zhou Yu might not be able to retreat with his whole body, but after listening to Liu Feng's layers of strategies, he couldn't help but have some admiration for Liu Feng.
"Then, in General Ziwei's opinion, how to consume the morale of the Cao army?" Zhou Yu obviously wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and he and Liu Feng made a plan here.
But Liu Feng has said so far, he has obtained any of Zhou Yu and Jiangdong generals, how can he think and tell what he thinks in his heart, although Zhou Yu gave Liu Feng a good feeling at first sight, but he is a person from Jiangdong after all, and Liu Feng must guard against it in his heart.
"General Gongjin is not in a hurry, at this time the front of the Cao army has not yet reached the river, the time has not come, when the time comes, Feng Zi will not let the Jiang Allied army face Cao Cao's tiger and wolf division alone, today is all said here, Feng and General Gongjin are very close to each other, this alliance, want to come from my father and General Sun, it is a good thing."
Zhou Yu saw that Liu Feng no longer spoke, sighed secretly in his heart, and sent Liu Bei and the three back to the room to rest, Liu Feng and Zhao Yun placed Liu Bei in the guest room given by Zhou Yu, and the two took turns to keep vigil outside until dawn.
Early the next morning, Liu Bei used Zhou Yu to set up some food, then proposed to leave, Zhuge Liang at this time has already stationed the Jiangxia naval army in Fankou, waiting for the battle, and Liu Bei came this time, is also full of sincerity, Liu Feng's strategy makes Zhou Yu very satisfied, so Zhou Yu has no reason to stay, only to greet Liu Bei, and want to send Liu Bei away, but at the time of departure, he proposed to Liu Bei that Liu Feng was left in Zhou Yu's camp as a messenger from the two places, once Cao Cao's army moved, When Liu Feng got the news here, he sent it back to Fankou as soon as possible, hoping to gather the army as soon as possible.
As soon as Liu Bei heard this, he looked at Liu Feng, the strategies here were all proposed by Liu Feng, Liu Bei didn't know what Zhou Yu meant, and he was also worried in his heart, so he looked at Liu Feng, once Liu Feng didn't want to be here, he wanted to forcibly bring Liu Feng back, even so, then Zhou Yu couldn't intervene.
But when Liu Feng learned of this, he didn't have much displeasure, but just hugged his fist to Liu Bei and said: "Father just go back with peace of mind, and reserve a thousand water troops for Feng in Fankou in case of emergency, once Cao Cao's army crosses the river, Feng will fight side by side with the Jiangdong water army, so as to teach him to know the might of our army." ”
Liu Bei had already known Liu Feng's plan before, so he bowed his head deeply at this time: "Wan Wang Ziwei pays attention to his own safety. After that, he and Zhao Yun boarded the ship.
