Chapter 1988: Zhou Tai Goes to War (Page 1/1)

Zhou Yu did not doubt Cao Cao's ability to lead troops in battle, and for many years, Cao Cao's control of the situation on the battlefield was extremely powerful.

What worries Zhou Yu the most is not the threat from Cao's army, but the threat from within his own side, a strong city, it is extremely difficult for the enemy to break through, if there is an enemy in the city, there will be a completely different change, the existence of the internal response, can make the advantage of the defenders sharply reduced.

Zhou Yu is sure that in Xiling City, there is the internal existence of the enemy army, after learning that Anlu City was broken by the Cao army, Zhou Yu immediately gathered the family in the city, the private soldiers in the hands of the family will become an important factor affecting the stability of the city, and it is the key thing to take back the private soldiers in the hands of the family, so that the family can hardly do more when the war comes.

For Zhou Yu's order, the families in Xiling City are still relatively cooperative, no matter how dazzling the Cao army will be on the battlefield in the future, and now the actual controller of Xiling City is still the Jiangdong Army, and it is not a wise move to confront the Jiangdong Army at such a time.

After the private soldiers in the hands of the family were withdrawn, Zhou Yu was a little relieved.

"The general of the herald army, come to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters." Zhou Yu ordered.

The Jiangdong Army suffered a lot of losses on the battlefield in Jingzhou, and Zhou Yu knew that he should do something at this time to make the soldiers in the army full of confidence in the upcoming war.

The soldiers in the Jiangdong Army have full confidence in Zhou Yu, and in the vanguard of the Cao Army, the Jiangdong Army has taken a lot of advantage, which has caused the heavy cavalry of the Cao Army to suffer a lot of losses on the battlefield and defeated the myth that the heavy cavalry is invincible on the battlefield.

Feeling the blazing heat in the eyes of the generals in the tent, Zhou Yu coughed lightly and said, "Now that Cao's army has broken through Anlu City, Cao Cao will inevitably send cavalry to pursue General Cheng Pu. ”

"The last general is willing to lead the cavalry!" Zhou Tai immediately got up and hugged his fists.

Zhou Tai is a fierce general in the Jiangdong Army, the most important thing is that Zhou Tai is deeply appreciated by Sun Quan, and in the Jiangdong Army, Sun Quan is the commander of Sun Quan's personal guard, Sun Quan sent the commander of the personal guard at the important moment when the Jiangdong Army and the Cao Army were fighting, it seems to be the support of Zhou Yu, but in fact, at this time, the soldiers and horses controlled by Zhou Yu are the most important force in the Jiangdong Army, if Zhou Yu has a disagreement with Jiangdong at this time, Sun Quan's position is dangerous.

Jiangdong experienced turmoil not long ago, if you want to get real stability, you must ensure the loyalty of the soldiers in the army to the monarch, in the past battlefield, Zhou Yu showed extraordinary ability, the more so, the more it will cause the monarch's fear, more often, the monarch needs to be an obedient general, this general can be very weak in the ability to lead the troops to fight, must be loyal, and Zhou Yu's prestige in the army is too high, it will inevitably affect Sun Quan.

At this point, Zhou Yu is still relatively clear, whether it is Zhou Tai or Lu Su, it is Sun Quan's expression of unease about him, but at such a critical moment in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu did not intend to say this, and Sun Quan is the monarch, he is a courtier, and obeying the monarch's orders is also a matter for the courtier.

Zhou Yu said: "General Zhou is brave, if he leads the cavalry, he will definitely be able to succeed." ”

Zhou Tai has the most important cavalry force in the Jiangdong Army, which is known as the robbery camp cavalry, the number of which is 2,000, of which 500 cavalry are heavy cavalry, brave and good at fighting, and it was under the command of Sun Ce in the past.

"It's just that Cao Jun is cunning, and General Zhou should be more cautious when he arrives on the battlefield." Zhou Yu reminded.

"Don't worry, if the last general can't defeat the enemy, come and see you." Zhou Tai hugged his fists.

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "What the governor of Pontus needs is the head of the enemy army, but it is useless to ask for the general's head, the general only needs to let General Cheng Pu return to Xiling City smoothly." ”

"Whoa." Zhou Tai hugged his fists, although he was reused by Sun Quan, he was still extremely respectful in front of Zhou Yu, this is the respect of the generals in the army for Zhou Yu, over the years, Zhou Yu led the Jiangdong Army to win battles, and he is a respected person by the generals of the Jiangdong Army.

"This is the main road for Cao's army to enter Xiling, and if General Zhou sets up an ambush here, he will definitely be able to cause Cao's army to suffer heavy losses." Zhou Yu pointed to the topographic map and said.

"The Admiral understands." Zhou Tai's face showed excitement, this is also the reason why the generals in the army are willing to follow Zhou Yu to fight, the same battle, to Zhou Yu, the price to pay may be very small, this feeling makes the generals in the army feel comfortable.

After Lu Su saw this scene, he also nodded secretly, as the main general, in the face of the war, he must be more calm in order to have greater achievements, in terms of commanding operations, Zhou Yu's ability is incomparable to him, he followed Zhou Yu's side, and also had the intention of learning.

"I don't know what Zijing thinks of the current situation in Jingzhou?" Zhou Yu set his sights on Lu Su.

Lu Su pondered for a moment and said: "Dudu, Cao Cao led 100,000 troops to come, the momentum is violent, there is no shortage of elite soldiers in the army, and before breaking through Anlu, Cao Cao ordered his general Xiahoudun to lead the soldiers and horses to Changsha, Cao Ren led the soldiers and horses to Wuling, it must be to attack Lingling County, among the three counties of Jingnan, there are many families who secretly support Cao Cao, once the two lead the troops to kill, it will inevitably cause great turmoil." ”

Zhou Yu nodded, "Zijing's words are very true, the governor of Pontus has already ordered Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi to be more cautious in the face of enemy attacks. ”

"At this time, Cao Cao's troops were only more than 70,000 people, and the governor also had more than 40,000 elite people in his hands, and there was no possibility of victory against Cao's army." Lu Su said.

Zhou Yu said: "Zijing, Cao Cao has countless elite soldiers and fierce generals, although our army has more than 40,000 people, it is still very difficult to confront Cao Jun on the frontal battlefield. ”

Lu Su didn't understand the truth, but after the Cao army broke through Anlu City, it would inevitably affect the morale of the Jiangdong army to a great extent.

"The governor of Pontus has a plan to make Cao Jun pay a heavy price before entering Xiling." Zhou Yu said slowly.

Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, but did not ask, this is the key to the battle between the Jiangdong Army and the Cao Army, if there is a leak, it will be extremely fatal to the army.

Let's say that after Cheng Pu led the army to leave Anlu, as Zhou Yu expected, Cao Cao sent Cao Chun to lead a thousand tigers and leopards to pursue the Jiangdong army.

The combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Army on the battlefield was extremely strong, and if these people were allowed to escape, it would make Zhou Yu's strength even stronger.
