Chapter 348: Mutual respect

Sun Ce had never felt so boiling, since he joined Sun Jian's army, there were not a hundred, but fifty battles of all kinds. But the most men and horses he faced were only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Yellow Turban Army, and it was not worth mentioning at all.

And now, an elite army of 200,000 people is on the opposite side of the Yangtze River, as a general, how can he not be excited?

"Cao Cao, Cao Cao, it's rare for you to lead such a large army to fight me in a duel, how can I despise you?"

Sun Ce, who was standing on the bank of the Yangtze River, smiled and looked at the other side, but there was only darkness, and a faint moonlight rose from the sky, making Sun Ce not seem too lonely.

Sun Ce ordered someone to put down the wine case, but he wanted to drink alone on this mouth; Since the self-army, there has been no alcohol at non-banquets. Sun Ce wasn't suffocated, but he faintly felt that the opponent on the other side was drinking alone on the river like him.

Under the hazy moonlight, Cao Cao stood on his main ship, with a few simple cases in front of him, and there were not a single or two attendants beside him. He looked up at the starry sky, like a thief who grabbed the stars, and wanted to reach out to take the stars down, but he grabbed a void, but there seemed to be something more in his hand.

That's the world!

"The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south...... What a sight to behold! I only sigh that there are few acquaintances, and I listen to singing and dancing downstairs. Sun Bo Fu, Sun Bo Fu...... In this battle, Jiangdong will be taken, and I hope that you will be able to dance the sword in front of my hall at that time, and Zhou Yu will cater to it by stroking the qin on the side...... Hahaha! ”

Although Cao Cao was arrogant, he had already regarded Sun Ce as his opponent; If you talk about confidants, I'm afraid that only Liu Bei can be regarded as a confidant...... What it's like to stand at the top, it's lonely!

Although they were far apart, the two had a tacit understanding to toast each other, splashed it in the Yangtze River, and ordered someone to take water in the river and drink Du Kang together.

They are like old friends at the chess table for many years, just waiting for this cup to be drunk and then fighting with them.

Sun Ce drank the river water lightly, and the sweet aroma flowed down his throat, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Cao Apu, it's really good wine!" Hahahaha! ”

After drinking, I suddenly heard a string sound coming from the sky, which was as refreshing as heaven; Sun Ce was fascinated and shouted to the pavilion behind him: "Gong Jin, drink with me!" ”

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head: "Cao Gong is on the other side, he can hear my strings, how can he disappoint him?" ”

Zhou Yu had transferred Chaisang's soldiers and horses to the east of Xiakou to respond at any time, led by generals such as Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin; He returned to Sun Ce's side as the deputy general of this battle, after all, Sun Ce was in a hurry, who knows what he would do while he was not there?

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce was still smiling and drinking, and suddenly saw the waves on the river, as if a light boat had arrived; Without waiting for Sun Ce's reaction, the guards on the side hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Who is it?" Don't you know that the Yangtze River has been sealed? ”

The people on the boat hurriedly waved their hands and said, "Don't panic, I'm Lu Xun, I'm here to see General Sun Ce!" ”

"Lu Xun?"

Sun Ce's face suddenly became strange, he remembered the name, it seemed that Zhou Yu had mentioned him; But when he looked back at the pavilion, Zhou Yu was gone, leaving only a pair of pianos.

"Bo Yan! How did you get back? ”

It didn't take long to see Zhou Yu rushing out in a hurry, without even putting on his shoes, and Sun Ce, who was watching it, was secretly frightened; Did this person make Zhou Yu so excited?

Lu Xun landed on the shore with the help of the soldiers, saluted Sun Ce, and then saluted Zhou Yu, and said: "General Sun, General Zhou, I came here for my lord's envoy this time......

When Zhou Yu heard the words "my lord", his face instantly darkened, as if he was annoyed that he couldn't let him use it for himself; And Sun Ce didn't notice it with a big grin, and asked, "Your top ...... It's Xun Gang, right? ”

Lu Xun nodded, and Sun Ce didn't dare to slack off; Although he is confident that he will win Cao Cao, it would be better if Xun Gang could help him. Although there is still a grudge between the two, at this time, they are naturally allies who are connected together, and each takes what he needs.

"Speak in the tent."

Sun Ce took Lu Xun and slowly walked towards the barracks, Zhou Yu followed with a gloomy face, but there seemed to be a touch of unyielding on his face, and he didn't seem to be willing to send Lu Xun back, and secretly decided in his heart that even if Lu Xun couldn't be used for himself, he couldn't let him go back to the enemy!

It's not that he is stingy, because Lu Xun's talent is very clear to him, and he will become a big trouble in the long run and become Sun Ce's number one enemy!

The coming winter wind was blocked from the tent, and I don't know what method the ancients used to make the tent quite warm even in winter. Sun Ce invited Lu Xun to sit down, opposite Zhou Yu, and sat in the middle and asked, "Xun Gang asked you to come, why did you come?" ”

Lu Xun did not answer directly, but asked: "My lord naturally helped General Sun defeat Cao's army, but I don't know...... Does General Sun have a way to break Cao? ”

Sun Ce glanced at Zhou Yu and seemed to have handed over the matter to him; Zhou Yu smiled slightly, got up and asked, "I heard Bo Yan say this, but he has already discussed with Xun Gang and others a way to break Cao?" ”

"Yes!"

"No, there is also a technique to break Cao, but I don't know if it is the same strategy as the general, and I ask Bo Yan to make it clear."

Lu Xun arched his hand and said, "Where is General Zhou?" Zunjia is a late-born senior, how dare a late-born transgression? It's better for General Zhou first! ”

The two of them pushed back and forth really annoyed Sun Ce, and Sun Ce shouted directly: "How about the two of you writing your own strategy in your hands and showing it together?" ”

The two looked at each other and said with a smile: "Miaoya! ”

So the two of them each ordered someone to get pen and ink, and after a few strokes on their left hand, they each clenched their left hand, slowly approached, and suddenly opened their hands, only to see that there were two fire characters in their hands, no more, no less!

"If you want to break Cao Gong, you really have to attack it with fire!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Sun Ce suddenly asked: "Now that it is about to enter winter, the northwest wind often blows, won't it burn itself by attacking Cao with fire?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and chuckled: "Bo Fu doesn't know, this Yangtze River will have three southeast winds in December every year, this is caused by the tide of Dongting, this is a good opportunity to break Cao!" It's just that Cao's army has a lot of warships and is well defended, so it's hard for us to get close......"

Lu Xun hurriedly said: "This is exactly what is here for this time!" I discussed with General Xun that Cao Cao had been allowed to cross the boat with iron cables, and together with the fire, Cao's army would inevitably trample on each other, the ship would catch fire, and the death period would not be far away! It's just a general with extraordinary wisdom and courage who is willing to go to Cao Ying to surrender ......"

"Fraud? Please also make it clear! ”

Lu Xun said: "Now Cao Cao went south, only bringing the northern generals, but not the Jingzhou generals; Jingzhou's good water fighters Wen Ping and Huang Zu are both in Hebei, so no one questions the strategy of the iron lock and the boat. Now that he only needs one general to surrender to Cao's camp, set up more than ten light boats and bring fire oil, and only rush those more than ten fireboats to the Cao army, why worry that the Cao army will not be destroyed? ”

Zhou Yu praised: "This method is wonderful! At that time, I wonder who in our army can take on such a heavy responsibility? ”

When Zhou Yu said this, his eyes looked at Sun Ce, and he found that Sun Ce was also taken by the two, thinking about who to let take on this important task. After all, Cao Cao is not stupid, how can he not see it?

"If you let the respected veteran surrender, I am afraid that Cao Cao will not believe it; If you let the little-known young general...... I'm afraid that Cao Cao will not be able to look at it; Therefore, the two need to be one, and the general needs to have a certain reputation, and if he surrenders, Cao Cao can't be suspicious......"

Sun Ce shook his head and said: "In terms of fame, our army only has three people, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, and at most one more Zhu Zhi; These four people have been fighting with their ancestors for a long time, and they are the most suitable. But I'm afraid that if any of these four people surrender, Cao Cao won't believe it......"

Zhou Yu said instead: "Bo Fu don't worry, I already have a plan...... Tomorrow is like this, Cao Cao will be deceived! ”
