Zhou Yu said that he had a plan, and when he said that it was useless, Sun Quan suddenly became a little annoyed.

He said to Zhou Yu: "Even the water village is gone, what strategy is there when it is not used?" ”

Wu Hou took a step to speak. Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan.

looked at Zhou Yu suspiciously, but Sun Quan still went to the side with him.

Pointing to the Cao Army Water Village on the other side of the riverbank, Zhou Yu said: "The Cao family has used countless warships, although they have many warships, but the training of the water army is not as skilled as our Jiangdong water army. ”

"So what?" Sun Quan said: "We don't even have a water army. ”

"It's still okay to transfer warships from elsewhere." Zhou Yu said: "Even if there are no warships, we still have a lot of small boats left. ”

"What can the little boat do?" Sun Quan asked.

"You can send soldiers to dive into the water and scuttle through enemy ships." Zhou Yu said: "In addition, we can also use Xiaoge to set fire to all their warships. ”

"Set fire?" Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Zhou Yu, "How to put it?" ”

"It's all later, I'll deploy it slowly." Zhou Yu said: "Wu Hou don't worry, sooner or later the Cao family will retreat and leave." ”

Zhou Yu refused to say how to set the fire, and Sun Quan knew that he must not have thought of what to do yet.

Without asking, Sun Quan said to Zhou Yu: "Gongjin has made countless contributions to Jiangdong, and I hope this time will not disappoint me." ”

"Wu Hou rest assured, as long as I am here, I will definitely not let half of Cao's army set foot on the land of Jiangdong." Zhou Yu clenched his fists and bowed and said.

Jiangdong Water Village was destroyed, and Zhuge Liang fled back to Jiangxia.

Seeing Zhuge Liang, who was wet and very embarrassed, Liu Bei asked in surprise: "It's raining over there in Chibi?" ”

"The sky is clear, and the weather is very good." Zhuge Liang replied.

"Since it's a clear sky, how did Kong Ming get a body of water?" Liu Bei was more and more surprised.

"It's hard to put into words." Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Zirong is really not easy to deal with, I was going to borrow some arrows from him, but I didn't expect to borrow one, but he was killed." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Zhuge Liang suffered a big loss at the hands of Cao Shuo, and Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Please also ask Kong Ming to come from the detailed road." ”

After telling the straw boat about borrowing arrows, Zhuge Liang said: "The Jiangdong Sun family and the Cao family have already pinched each other, and the opportunity for the lord has arrived." ”

"It's all in this situation, what chance can I have?" Liu Bei sighed and said: "Occupy a corner of Jiangxia, once the Cao family breaks through Jiangdong, I will be about the same." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I have already thought of a way out." Zhuge Liang said: "I am an old friend of Yizhou Law, and a few days ago I sent a letter, asking him to make a statement to Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, and allow the lord to enter Yizhou for refuge. ”

"Take refuge in Yizhou?" Liu Bei asked, "If Liu Zhang captures me and gives it to Cao Cao, won't I die?" ”

"Before he captured the lord, the lord gave Yizhou first, isn't everyone happy?" Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Bei's eyes lit up at first, and then he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, Liu Zhang and I are clan relatives, how can I get his territory?" ”

From Liu Bei's eyes, Zhuge Liang could already see that he coveted Yizhou, but he didn't break it.

Zhuge Liang said: "Although the lord and Liu Zhang are clan relatives, Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent, and Yizhou is eager for the master." Fa Zheng has already said in his letter to me that as long as the lord is willing to stay in Yizhou, he will definitely help. ”

"If Liu Zhang is willing to take him in, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for us to take away his territory, right?" Liu Bei hesitated and said, "What will the people of the world think......"

"The people of the world will agree with the lord." Zhuge Liang said: "After the lord occupies Yizhou, he can first hold the main roads everywhere, so that the Cao family cannot be attacked, and then implement benevolent government there, ten years of life and ten years of lessons, within twenty years, the lord may not be able to go out of Yizhou and win the world." ”

"Kong Ming thinks when is the best time to make the trip?" Liu Bei asked.

"Wait until Cao Jun crosses the river." Zhuge Liang said: "When Cao Jun crosses the river, he will definitely not pay attention to the lord, and when we take advantage of the chaos to leave, even if Cao Zirong later finds that it is not easy to catch up." Once the lord sits firmly in Yizhou, do you still have to worry about the Cao family? ”

"According to Kong Ming." Liu Bei asked, "Jiangdong Sun family and Cao family are fighting, what are we going to do?" ”

"We're just passing the buck." Zhuge Liang said: "It depends on how the two of them make trouble, we just have to watch from the sidelines." ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Just follow Kong Ming." ”

"I'm going to reply to Fazheng." Zhuge Liang said: "It is much better to plan early than to plan at that time." ”

The news of Cao Shuo's attack on the edge of the Yangtze River reached Xiangyang.

After reading the battle report, Cao Cao put it on the table and asked Xun Yu who was sitting beside him, "Wen Ruo, what do you think of Zirong's fight?" ”

"I haven't sent troops yet, and I have already broken the Jiangdong Water Village." Xun Yu said: "Congratulations to Gong Cao, this time Jiangdong is going to fall into the hands of Gong Cao." ”

"I'm going to go to Chibi to have a look, but Wen Ruoken won't come with me?" Cao Cao asked.

"The war has been handed over to the eldest son, I think it's better for Cao Gong not to go." Xun Yu said: "When the eldest son breaks through Jiangdong, it is not too late for Cao Gong to go." ”

Twisting his beard, Cao Cao thought for a moment: "Since Wen Ruo said so, then don't go." Tonight, you gather all the people who stayed in Xiangyang, and I will feast the guests and celebrate Zirong's achievements. ”

"I'll arrange it." Xun Yu stood up and answered.

That evening, Cao Cao hosted a banquet in Xiangyang.

There were not only his staff and the generals who stayed in Xiangyang, but also the staff generals who were originally subordinate to Liu Biao.

Everyone sat in the hall, and their eyes were all looking at Cao Cao.

Raising his wine glass, Cao Cao said to everyone: "Tell the princes a good news, Zirong has won the first battle, and our army has broken the Jiangdong naval army before crossing the river." ”

Some of the people in this room had already gotten the news, and they weren't too surprised.

And those who did not get the news, especially the staff and generals who were originally under Liu Biao's command, were full of surprise and disbelief.

How strong the Jiangdong Navy is, many of them are very clear.

When Liu Biao and the Sun family fought, it was the Jiangdong Navy that beat the Jingzhou army and couldn't raise its head.

The Cao family came, but they didn't expect that the two sides hadn't really engaged in battle, and the once powerful Jiangdong Navy was gone......

Although some people were puzzled in their hearts, but when Cao Cao said it, they didn't dare not express it, and they all hugged their fists and bowed down and said: "Congratulations to Cao Gong, congratulations to the eldest son!" ”

"Zirong is fighting in front, and I'll wait here to take charge." Cao Cao said: "Today's banquet is just to celebrate Zirong's success. Although he is not here, you still have to stay drunk! ”
