Chapter 71: Getting the first step
After Cao Cao heard this, he pondered for a long time, and after sending the prison army away, he ordered Cao Hong, who had been accompanying him: "Strictly investigate the cause of the damage to the warship that Cai Mao is riding today, and at the same time strengthen the guard in the camp, but if you find any suspicious people, you will take them down!" ”
Cao Hong took the order, but Cao Cao was still a little restless, pacing in the big tent, and he didn't know what to do.
At this time, if Liu Feng is here, his heart will be very excited, just because his previous ideas and strategies have all become reality today, Cao Cao At this time, he has fallen into the chain of strategies set up by Liu Feng for him hundreds of miles away, and he does not know it. Liu Feng did not have contact with Cao Cao, and he did not know Cao Cao's true feelings, but if the army of millions did not need to plan, how could he win, so Liu Feng began to lay out a few days ago, and it was this battle that was waiting for him.
At this time, Liu Feng naturally did not know what was happening in Cao Cao's camp, he was already sitting on the celebration banquet at this time, accepting the toast of all Jiangdong generals, especially Cheng Pu, Gan Ning and other people who went with him, all of them raised their glasses to Liu Feng frequently, so it is enough to see that Liu Feng has won the heart of Jiangdong soldiers.
When the banquet came to an end, many Jiangdong generals were already a little drunk, and were sent back to the camp tent by Zhou Yu to rest, and in the end, only Liu Feng and Zhou Yu were left in the banquet, Zhou Yu saw that Liu Feng was not a little drunk, so he stepped forward to help Liu Feng up, claiming that he wanted to send Liu Feng back to the camp tent, Liu Feng naturally knew why he was like this, so he just followed Zhou Yu's mind and went to his house.
At this time, Zhou Yu closed the door, stepped forward to Liu Feng, and asked in a low voice: "Before the banquet, Yu was not good at speaking, dare to ask General Ziwei, according to General Cheng Pu's words, then Cai Mao is already in front of my army today, why didn't General Ziwei order to kill or capture it, according to the strategy that you and I have made before, if this battle can go to Cai Mao, Cao Cao's water army is equivalent to half of the power, such a good thing, why does General Ziwei want to stop it?" ”
As soon as Cheng Pu returned, he told Zhou Yu in detail about Liu Feng's command of the battle, and explained to Zhou Yu that he let Cai Mao escape in a small boat, Zhou Yu listened to it, and he was also very puzzled in his heart, Liu Feng categorically would not reach any consensus with Cai Mao privately, so Zhou Yu knew that Liu Feng's plan must have a deep meaning, but he couldn't think of it for a while, so he could only ask directly.
Liu Feng also drank a few glasses of wine in the celebration banquet, but he was not drunk at all, at this time Zhou Yu was puzzled, a sneer appeared on his face, and responded: "That Cai Mao Zhang Yun is the person who betrays the master, this time he can kill it like this, Cao Cao's army went to Cai Mao, but there are still many generals in Jingzhou who can train the water army for it, our army is small, I expect Cao Cao's defeat, and he will find that his northern sergeants are really not good at water warfare, and I am afraid that they will step up their training on the river, if they wait for them to train the hundreds of thousands of troops are all familiar, then our army is in danger." ”
When Zhou Yu heard Liu Feng's analysis, he thought so deeply in his heart, but he still frowned deeply, and said: "With a total of 50,000 sailors in our alliance, if you want to defeat them in one fell swoop while they are practicing, it is absolutely impossible, and Cao Cao will definitely let the sergeants practice near the shore, our army should have no chance to take advantage of it, like this, Ziwei can have a good strategy?" ”
As Liu Feng said before, defeating Cao Cao this time, once Cao Cao learned from the pain and trained the navy skillfully, it would be quite unfavorable to them, so Zhou Yu had a headache when he heard it.
"As far as Feng knows, the Jiangdong elite navy is definitely not only the 30,000 in Gong Jin's hands, it is better for Gong Jin to recruit all the Jiangdong navy to come, so Feng has the confidence to charge forward and fight with Cao Cao's half-familiar soldiers." Liu Feng just looked at Zhou Yu at the moment, and said with a smile.
When Zhou Yu heard this, his complexion changed, but then he returned to normal, but this temporary change was completely seen by Liu Feng, and his previous judgment in his heart became more and more confirmed.
Ziwei laughed, now there are constant wars and disputes on the border of Jiangdong, and the remnants of Huang Zu often harass in Jiangdong, General Sun is overwhelmed, so the army is all contained, and only these 30,000 elites are left, which can resist Cao Cao's army. Ziwei said so, Yu is also a good woman, it is difficult to cook without rice......" Zhou Yu replied with a helpless look on his face.
After hearing this, Liu Feng knew that Zhou Yu was forcibly looking for a reason to prevaricate him, but he didn't break it, pretended to think about it for a long time, and then sighed and said slowly: "Since this is the case, it is a loss to Feng before he laid the groundwork in Cao Cao's array, but whether it can work, Feng does not dare to assert ......"
"Oh? Ziwei had been prepared, but I don't know what the foreshadowing was? When Zhou Yu saw Liu Feng say this, his eyes lit up, and he knew that Liu Feng had the law to know, so he hurriedly asked.
"Gong Jin must not be anxious, if Cao Cao wants to train the northern soldiers to be proficient in water warfare, it will take more than half a month to say the least, so this matter is not urgent, Gong Jin only waits for news in the camp, if there is news at that time, Gong Jin naturally knows, if there is still no news in Cao Cao's army ten days later, we will prepare as soon as possible and fight to the death with Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops......"
Seeing that Liu Feng didn't say anything, Zhou Yu also had no choice, so he immediately said goodbye and left, and sent a light boat to go to Cao Cao's camp near the place to listen to the news, for a few days, but only came that Cao Cao ordered the sergeant on the shore to perform the formation of breaking the enemy on the water, and it had been a few days, Zhou Yu saw that it was really as Liu Feng said, Cao Cao began to concentrate on training the navy, and his heart became more and more anxious.
After four days, there was no news from Cao Cao's army, but Liu Bei sent someone to send a letter to Liu Feng.
This letter was written by Liu Bei himself, Liu Bei said in the letter, because he found out that Cao Cao was training the navy by the river every day, but there was no movement in Zhou Yu's camp, Zhuge Liang was afraid that the battle would be lost, so he wanted to go to Zhou Yu's camp to find out, so Liu Bei wanted to exchange Liu Feng with Zhuge Liang.
Liu Feng knew in his heart that Liu Bei's move must have been caused by Zhuge Liang's suggestion, and Liu Bei's thoughts were mostly to exchange Liu Feng back, in case Sun Quan intended to be unfavorable to Liu Feng after he emerged, after all, Liu Bei's parents were still young, and he didn't know if he could grow up after this troubled era, Liu Feng was his only son who could be of great use at this time, so Liu Bei valued Liu Feng very much, but he was afraid that he would lose in the Jiangdong Water Army Barracks.
But if Zhuge Liang is exchanged at this time, then the situation that Liu Feng has painstakingly laid out before may most likely be taken by Zhuge Liang and snatch all the credit. At that time, Liu Feng can be regarded as too late to regret.
