"Speaking of the last fiasco at the hands of Zhou Dudu, I have been longing to fight with Zhou Dudu again, but ......" Ma Hong changed his words and continued: "I also hope to cooperate with Zhou Dudu, as long as I cooperate with Zhou Dudu, this city will definitely fall." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zhou Yu gnawed Echeng for two years, and he didn't take Echeng, firstly, Guan Yu was brave, and his command was full of elite soldiers, and secondly, he didn't want to take Echeng at a huge price, he must just be a cover for Zhu Ran to besiege Changsha and drag Guan Yu.

Of course, it would be better if Echeng could be won, but with Zhou Yu's ability, the opponent was Guan Yu, a generation of famous generals, and he couldn't cross the mountain of Guan Yu. But now it's different, Liu Bei was defeated in Changsha, Guan Yu was trapped in Echeng, Ma Hong led a large army to help, and Echeng was broken.

"Guan Yu was besieged by us in Echeng, and it was a matter of time before Echeng was broken, but General Ma was so impatient to take Echeng, I thought there must be some reason for it, can General Ma tell me about it." Zhou Yu spoke slowly, looking directly into Ma Hong's eyes.

"Guan Yu's grain road was cut off, and he retreated in Echeng, we only need to surround him for three months, and then attack again, it will be easy, why attack now, I will give Zhou Dudu a reason, Zhou Dudu listens to whether this reason is appropriate?" Ma Hong smiled and spoke, and looked at Pang Tong beside him after speaking.

Pang Tong followed Ma Hong's words and said: "Now that Cao Cao is attacking Hebei, the Yuan brothers will not be able to support it for long, and it will not take half a year, Cao Cao will definitely occupy Hebei, and when the time comes, Cao Cao will occupy half of the thirteen states in the world, and the upper and lower half of my lord and Wu Hou will account for half of the ......"

Zhou Yu didn't wait for General Pang Tong to finish speaking, and then said: "Then General Ma means that he wants to take Jingzhou as soon as possible, and then go north, taking advantage of Cao Cao's main force to attack Hebei, and go north to the Central Plains, right?" ”

Ma Hong nodded and said: "Exactly, then Zhou Dudu This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, is Wu Hou willing to cooperate with me for a long time, take advantage of this opportunity to go north together, and go straight to the Central Plains." ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said: "The world is about to be divided into three points, I admit that Dongwu will be the weakest side at that time, if you want to go north, you must have enough soldiers and horses and grain and grass, and Jingzhou is a place where grain and grass and soldiers and horses are produced." ”

Zhou Yu said half of the words, don't say it, Ma Hong knows what it means, Zhou Yu is going to say, if you want us to go north to defeat Cao Cao with you, then give us more land, with land can we produce grain, grass and soldiers and horses, and then we will have the ability and resources to go to the Northern Expedition.

Ma Hong smiled and said: "Zhou Dudu is a smart person, and Wu Hou is also a wise person, so Zhou Dudu will talk about it!" What does Wu Hou want? ”

Zhou Yu tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Changsha, Guiyang, Jiangxia County." ”

Changsha County, half of which was defeated by Ma Hong's army, Ma Hong has been ceded to Sun Quan, and Guiyang is about to fall into the hands of Sun Quan, and now half of the land in Jiangxia County is occupied by Ma Hong, and even Xiling City, the county capital of Jiangxia, is also occupied by Ma Hong, and Zhou Yu now wants to get back Jiangxia County from Ma Hong.

Pang Tong didn't speak, Deng Ai behind Ma Hong was a little uncomfortable, Jiangxia County was beaten down by us, why should we give it to you.

"Okay, Wu Hou and I are now a family, just Jiangxia County, why bother." Ma Hong said with a smile.

"General Ma is really refreshing. It's really fun to work with cheerful people. Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Ma Hong replied: "Governor Zhou, then tomorrow I will ask all the generals to show their strengths and take Echeng!" ”

At this time, Lu Meng spoke: "Then Guan Yu has the courage of ten thousand people, his soldiers are strong and strong, and he will attack without waiting for the city to run out of food, how many soldiers will he fight?" ”

Zhou Yu turned his head to Lu Meng and said, "Stand down, how can you speak here." ”

Lu Meng bowed his head and said, "Dudu, the last general is wrong. ”

Ma Hong smiled and said: "What Lu Meng said is right, it's just that tomorrow I will invite General Lu Meng to watch a good show first, and then it will be easy to attack the city." ”

"Well, what is this?" Lu Meng said.

Ma Hong was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood, although most of the generals under him now know what opera is, because Huang Zhong often sings, and Ma Hong also taught Huang Zhong to sing, but the generals of Eastern Wu don't understand what opera is. Ma Hong explained: "Tomorrow, I will let the generals see the methods of our army first, and then you will understand." ”

After Ma Hong finished speaking, he said goodbye to Zhou Yu and Pang Tong Deng Ai and returned to the camp.

At this time, Tai Shici spoke: "Metropolitan Governor, it seems that this Ma Hong is prepared. ”

Zhou Yu said: "Then let's wait and see!" ”

"Governor Dadu, after we take Jingzhou, do we really want to cooperate with Ma Hong to attack Cao Cao?" Xu Sheng asked.

"The world is about to be divided into three points, and you all know that now we are the weakest in Dongwu, so we naturally have to cooperate with others." Zhou Yu said.

At this time, Lu Meng spoke: "Then the Grand Governor, our Eastern Wu infantry is not good at land warfare, even if we take the opportunity to capture the land, we may not necessarily hold it, why not cooperate with Cao Cao to take Jingzhou?" ”

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Meng, what Lu Meng said was very practical and practical, but his vision was too short, and he couldn't check much with mice. Zhou Yu shook his head and asked: "Cao Cao is about to take Hebei, when the time comes, who is the strongest in the world, it is clear at a glance, Cao Cao is the strongest." Occupy the Central Plains and Hebei, if once developed, it will be far stronger than our Dongwu. Cao Cao as the strongest force, Ma Hong as the second force, our weakest Dongwu naturally wants to find a partner, yes, helping the strongest Cao Cao to eliminate Ma Hong is simpler than helping Ma Hong to defeat Cao Cao, but, once Ma Hong is defeated, will Cao Cao let us go? No! ”

"Then the Grand Duke, if we help Ma Hong defeat Cao Cao, it will not be the same result." Lu Meng asked.

Zhou Yu shook his head again and said: "Lu Meng, you now know how to fight, but you can't see the overall situation of the world clearly, you have always thought that our Eastern Wu can't attack the Central Plains, just because Eastern Wu lacks war horses, and can't gain a foothold in the Central Plains, but you have to remember that if we keep locked in Jingzhou and Yangzhou and don't go to the Central Plains, we will be destroyed sooner or later." ”

Zhou Yu was right, the historical Lü Meng attacked Guan Yu, and after Guan Yu's death, the power of Shu Han declined sharply, triggering the battle of Liu Bei's attack on Wu, and from then on, the combined combat power of Eastern Wu and Shu was no longer the opponent of Wei.

"Because you can't hold it, don't fight it, this is the opinion of the horseman, think about it, Ma Hong wants to take the Central Plains hard, what is the reason? Since ancient times, those who have won the Central Plains have won the world, the Central Plains has a large population, and it is the easiest to develop, while Jingzhou and Yangzhou seem to be rich, but compared with the Central Plains, the land of the two states together is not as good as the Central Plains. And you have been thinking about Jingzhou, even if we cooperate with Cao Cao and take Jingzhou, will we continue to rely on the Yangtze River to defend it? Defend, defend, and how long can I defend, since ancient times, I have never heard of any country that can get the world by guarding, if you want to seize the world, you must attack, because offense is the best defense. ”

Zhou Yu's words Lu Meng lowered his head, his face was flushed, according to Lu Meng's temper, if someone else said this about him, he would definitely not bear it now, and even stood up and quarreled with that person, but in the face of Zhou Yu, he would not, because Zhou Yu was the person he admired the most.
