"Sun Yu was ordered by Sun Quan to monitor the generals of Jiangxia. Now Lu Su, the left governor, is left in Xiakou, but Sun Yu, the right governor, is in command of most of the soldiers and horses stationed in Lukou. ”

Liu Feng pondered for a while, and soon figured out the stakes.

If Zhou Yu led the army to fight, Liu Feng really had some scruples, after all, water warfare was not his strong point.

If the commander of Lukou was Lu Su, Liu Feng would also be a little jealous.

Lu Su, although he is not as scheming as Zhou Yu, but he is strict in governing the army, if he relies on the advantages of the navy and guards according to the danger, it is not easy for Liu Feng to break his army.

But now, the commander of the Wu army has been replaced by Sun Yu, and Liu Feng is not worried at all.

The Sun family, except for Sun Jian and Sun Ce, the rest from Sun Quan down are all a bunch of rice buckets in terms of leading troops, and no one knows this better than Liu Feng.

"Sun Yu is not to worry about this, it seems that the only thing we need to worry about at the moment is Gan Ning, this person has followed Zhou Lang for many years, and he has learned from Zhou Yu, so he can't be underestimated."

Gan Ning has a few catties and a few taels, Liu Feng is still very clear.

If it is a land battle, there is only one Gan Ning, even if it has the strength of ten thousand husbands, Liu Feng will not be afraid.

The problem now is that although Liu Feng's army has 100,000 people, there is a lack of excellent generals who are good at water warfare.

And the competition for power on this big river, and the water war is the mainstay, and an excellent general is sometimes enough to affect the outcome of the entire war.

Xu Shu pondered for a long time, a strange smile appeared on his face with distinct facial features, and he said: "I heard before that Zhou Yu was seriously ill and incurable, and Gan Ning once went to Linxiang in person to ask the lord for Zhang Zhongjing to treat Zhou Yu, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Of course, Liu Feng remembered this incident.

At the beginning, Gan Ning came to Hunan in the name of official business, and later Liu Feng pretended to be unintentional in a meeting in order to provoke the relationship between Lu Su and his upper and lower levels.

Later, this incident was widely spread, and even the people in the market praised Gan Ning's righteousness towards Zhou Yu.

Xu Shu, a man of extreme wisdom and resourcefulness, must have something to say, and when he suddenly mentioned such old things, he must have ulterior motives.

Liu Feng's eyes rolled, and he suddenly realized, "Yuan Zhi, could it be that you want to ......"

Xu Shu smiled but did not speak.

Obviously, Liu Feng guessed his intentions.

The corners of Liu Feng's mouth hooked, a sly smile followed, and at the moment he rolled up his sleeves and shouted happily: "Come on, quickly prepare pen and ink for me." ”

………………………… Three days later, a letter arrived in Lukou Ganning.

At this time, Gan Ning and Sun Yu had led more than 10,000 Eastern Wu naval troops to Lukou, and were preparing to go to Chibi, not far west of Lukou, where they would block Liu Feng's eastward advance.

At that time, Zhou Yu chose such a battlefield that was unfavorable to the Northern Army, completed his glorious battle of megatronism, and completely shattered Cao Ying's dream of dominating the world.

Since the Battle of Chibi, Wu has built three fortresses to defend Chaisang from west to east along the line of the Yangtze River.

The three fortresses are Baqiu, Lukou and Xiakou.

Baqiu is located on the west bank of Dongting, which was originally a key place to control Xiangshui and the Yangtze River, but because it has no danger to defend, in the face of Liu Feng's two armies, in the case of insufficient troops, the Wu people had to give up this first fortress.

At present, the second fortress of Lukou has become the key to defending Jiangxia.

Because once Lukou fell, Liu Feng's main force drove straight in, and the third fortress, Xiakou City, would face a north-south attack from the enemy forces of the Han River and the Yangtze River, in this case, Xiakou City could not be held at all.

And if Xiakou is lost, it will mean the fall of the entire Jiangxia County.

Therefore, the land mouth is the most important thing.

If you want to hold the land pass, you must block the enemy at the red cliff.

According to Gan Ning's speculation, after Liu Fengjun captured Baqiu, he should immediately go down the river, seize Chibi as quickly as possible, and seize the geographical advantage.

But what made Gan Ning feel strange was that Liu Feng's army of 70,000 or 80,000 water and land did not move for a few days after capturing Baqiu.

The enemy's immobility made Gan Ning a little confused, and Liu Feng's letter at this time made him even more suspicious.

"Hmph, this is probably a letter of surrender......"

Gan Ning opened the silk book with psychological preparation, but after reading it, he was quite surprised.

This is not a letter of surrender, both in terms of tone and wording, more like a normal greeting between old friends.

Liu Feng mentioned in the letter that he was in Hunan for a while, recalled the joy of indulging in wine and singing, and praised Gan Ning's boldness.

In short, this is a "reminiscence" that seems to be downright a "reminiscence", at least on the surface.

"Liu Feng, what is your idea?"

Gan Ning held the letter in his hand and read it back and forth several times, but he still couldn't figure out the meaning of the letter.

Just when he was suspicious, the soldiers hurriedly came to report, saying that Sun Yu, the governor of the right capital, had arrived.

"It's such a coincidence, please come in."

Gan Ning casually took the letter into his arms, and immediately wanted to go out of the tent to greet him, but just wanted to move his footsteps, but the curtain was suddenly opened.

Sun Yu strode in, panting a little, as if he was in a hurry.

Sun Yu was also followed by several pro-soldiers with tigers on their backs, all of them staring at each other with solemn expressions.

There seems to be something wrong with this atmosphere.

Gan Ning calmed down and said with a smile: "Why didn't the governor send someone to squeak in advance, I would have left the camp to welcome the governor earlier." ”

"I'm also inspecting the camps, passing by here temporarily, and by the way, I'm just going to take a look at Xingba."

The corners of Sun Yu's mouth squeezed out a little smile, but in Gan Ning's opinion, it was a bit of a smiling taste.

Gan Ning said quietly: "I see, I don't know what the governor commands?" ”

Sun Yu swaggered into the tent, glanced around, and asked casually: "Xingba, when I entered the camp just now, it seems that I heard the soldiers talk about it, saying that Liu Feng's kid sent someone to see Xingba." ”

As soon as he heard this, Gan Ning immediately realized Sun Yu's intention.

Passing by by accident, it was clearly the ears and eyes planted in my camp to report this to you, and you hurried here under suspicion.

After understanding this verse, Gan Ning soon thought of the intention of Liu Feng's letter.

He Gan Ning is Zhou Yu's old general, and everyone knows that he is grateful for Zhou Yu's kindness, even if Sun Yu wants to use him, he will definitely be wary of him in his heart.

Liu Feng must have guessed this, so he deliberately wrote such a letter, which seemed to be just a reminiscence of old friendship, but in fact it was a divisive plan.

After thinking through all the stakes, a chill suddenly surged on Gan Ning's back.

His thoughts turned sharply, and before he could think about it, he said: "Liu Feng did send someone here, but he only sent a letter, and I was just about to send this letter to the governor, but I didn't want the governor to come first." ”

"The letter is here, and the governor will take a look." As he spoke, Gan Ning took out the letter in his arms and offered it with both hands.

Sun Yu listened to the news and was afraid that Gan Ning and Liu Feng would "look at each other", so he hurried to find out.

Now Gan Ning did not hesitate to present the letter, such a calm move naturally alleviated a lot of suspicion in Sun Yu's heart.

"This letter is a personal thing, how can I open it." Sun Yu said with a smile, his attitude was very different from before.

Gan Ning Zhengse said: "Liu Feng is my enemy of Eastern Wu, although this letter is my personal letter, but it is related to state affairs, please take a look at it." ”

Gan Ning's attitude of not abandoning public and private interests secretly made Sun Yu a little ashamed, he wanted to give up, but driven by curiosity, he still accepted the letter with a smile.

After a closer look at it for a long time, it is indeed all old words, and it doesn't seem to be anything unusual.

But just as Sun Yu was about to return the letter to Gan Ning, his eyes suddenly moved.

He found that there were several places in the letter where the pen and ink had been scribbled, and where they were, inferred back and forth, seemed to refer to the names of places and the words of time.

Suddenly, Sun Yu's face became gloomy again.

"Xingba, why are there traces of scribbling in this letter?" Sun Yu asked in a deep voice.

Gan Ning glanced at it and said casually: "The letter was originally there, maybe it was written by Liu Feng and smeared it casually." ”

Gan Ning was born as a military general, he is not elegant, and he usually writes a letter if he makes a mistake, and he rarely cares about what is beautiful. Therefore, in his opinion, it is normal for the letter to have scribbled marks.

It's just that this scribble mark aroused Sun Yu's suspicions.

At that moment, he sneered, pointed to the smearing on the letter and said: "It's nothing to write a typo in the letter, but why the scribbling is all related to the time of the place name, General Gan, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" ”

Sun Yu even changed his title, and when he asked like this, Gan Ning immediately understood what he was implying to him.

Sun Yu's repeated suspicions angered Gan Ning at the same time.

You must know that this "brocade thief" is not a "good type", once upon a time, he was a robber business, and he was known for his fierceness and fierceness.

Previously, Sun Yu planted eyes and ears in his camp, and Gan Ning endured it, but at this time, he openly suspected that he was collaborating with the enemy, and this kind of practice could not anger Gan Ning.

At that moment, Gan Ning's face sank, and he said coldly: "I have already said that this is the case when I got the letter. I, Gan Ning, have always been above board and have a clear conscience, General Sun, believe it or not. ”

The blatant confrontation choked Sun Yu's nose.

Sun Yu was suspicious, and his heart was even more angry.

He was about to have a seizure on the spot, but then he thought about it, this Gan Ning is not a character to be messed with, and at the moment of the great enemy, how can he act recklessly.

After weighing it, Sun Yu's face immediately turned cloudy and clear, and he said with a smile: "Xingba, you misunderstood, I just asked casually." Xingba, you are loyal to my Sun family, how can I not believe it. ”

Gan Ning snorted coldly and ignored him.

Sun Yu was embarrassed and couldn't stay any longer, so he said a few innocuous words, and hurried away on the grounds of patrolling the camp.

As soon as he came out of the Ganning camp, Sun Yu immediately looked angry, gritted his teeth and muttered: "Gan Xingba, you are a Jinfan thief......"
