Chapter 771: Zhou Yu's Calculations

Although Cao Jun wanted to capture him, he knew that Cao Cao was in his own scheme. Cao Jun had already been tricked, and Zhou Yu's heart was obviously a lot more relaxed. I have been very worried about this matter for several days, but now, Zhou Yu finally doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore. Next, the fire attack can be carried out smoothly.

However, Cao Jun secretly carried out a series of iron cable things, so he should not have much to do in a short period of time. Cao Jun did this, obviously trying to take it by surprise. Presumably, after Cao Jun completes the iron cable ship, he will inevitably launch an offensive against his own army, and when that time comes, if he pretends to be defeated, then Cao Cao will see that the iron cable ship is indeed useful. Only in this way can the Cao army be willing to implement the iron cable ship on a large scale, and when that time comes, the opportunity for the Sun-Liu alliance army will come.

Therefore, the Sun-Liu coalition army still needs to hold on. Now that the scale of victory has begun to tilt towards his side, as long as he can fight to the fact that his fire attack plan can be successful, then Cao's army will definitely be defeated. However, for Zhou Yu, time is also limited, and he obviously hopes that Cao Jun can speed up the process.

Time flies quickly, and during this time, Cao Jun has been plotting to refine iron cables. Regarding Cao Cao's actions, Zhou Yu has always made a lot of detailed investigations. The news that came back from the fine work always made Zhou Yu feel very relieved, Cao Jun's progress was obviously very fast, and Cao Jun was already trying to connect the boat with iron cables.

According to the news from Xizuo, Cao Cao admired the plan of connecting the boat with iron cables, but Cao Cao was still a little worried about the plan of connecting the ships with iron cables. After all, the attempts are all on the shore, and if you really use this method to fight, will it still have an unexpected effect? Cao Cao was clearly eager to try the power of the iron chain ship.

Several warships connected by iron cables dominated half of the Yangtze River, Cao Cao on the shore saw this scene, nodded slightly, the iron cable ships are indeed very imposing, and the Cao soldiers on the warship obviously do not have any signs of seasickness, although these Cao soldiers are all people who have been trained for a long time, but they will lose most of their combat effectiveness because of seasickness on the warship, but now, the Cao soldiers on the warship obviously do not have such a feeling.

Cao Jun's high adjustment of water is a helpless move in Zhou Yu's opinion, after all, the confrontation between the two parties is above the river, and above the Yangtze River is the territory of the Jiangdong Water Army, Cao Cao wants to hide people's eyes, which is obviously unrealistic. Since there is no way to hide it, it is better to show it openly like this.

To tell the truth, Cao Jun's warships are indeed very imposing in everything. The four warships were connected as one, which made Zhou Yu sigh with emotion. Such a huge platform must have tremendous combat effectiveness. The only thing is that the four warships are naturally difficult to maneuver when connected, and the flexibility is definitely not enough. As long as these four warships are not allowed to get close, there is obviously no problem in trying to eliminate him. Therefore, although Zhou Yu was emotional, he was not afraid.

On the Yangtze River, the Jiangdong Navy is still dominant, it was, it is, and of course it will be in the future. Although Cao's army is very strong, when it comes to the river, they are just people who can be slaughtered. However, for the next strategy, Zhou Yu was obviously very reluctant to want Cao Cao to taste a little sweetness.

In fact, it is not sweet, Zhou Yu just let Cao Jun experience that the iron cable boat is indeed very powerful. Four warships linked together are indeed more powerful than one or two warships. Zhou Yu just let Cao Cao clearly recognize this fact, as for the rest of the things, it depends on what Cao Cao says.

Today, the contact between the Cao army and the Jiangdong Navy made many Cao army generals see the hope of victory, although the iron cable ship is indeed flawed, but its strong combat effectiveness is obviously not questioned. With such a big move, the generals of the Cao army knew that the decisive battle with the Sun and Liu coalition forces was coming.

On the other side of the river, the Jiangdong generals also learned about this, and they were obviously as happy as the generals of the Cao army. Because they also knew that after the Cao army implemented the iron chain ship on a large scale, Zhou Dudu would use this to carry out a fire attack on Cao's army, and when Zhou Dudu's fire attack was really successful, it would be time to fight with Cao's army.

Every general who goes into battle to kill the enemy craves war, because it is the only way for them to be promoted. The generals on both sides knew that this battle was quite important to both the Cao army and the Sun-Liu coalition army, so if they could achieve enough meritorious service in this battle, then the official position was not a problem.

With the advent of Cao Jun's iron chain ship, and the large-scale implementation in Cao Jun. The battle between the Cao army and the Jiangdong coalition army has obviously become more and more intense, and the war has entered a situation where it is on the verge of breaking out.

However, for Zhou Yu, it was unwise to have a battle at this moment. The problems were solved one by one, and then one after another appeared in front of him. The Cao army's iron cable connection was obviously beneficial to the Sun-Liu coalition army, but if they wanted to carry out a fire attack, they needed to put the fireboat directly into the Cao army's naval camp.

Cao Jun's naval camp is heavily defended, and although the Jingzhou naval army is not good at fighting, it is obviously no problem to defend a camp. It was obviously impossible to unexpectedly put the fireship next to Cao Jun's warship. Even if the Jiangdong naval army attacked, it would not necessarily be able to achieve any benefits.

According to the news from the detailed work, the Cao army's defense of the naval army camp is obviously stronger than that of the army. In addition to the gate of the water village is heavily guarded by Cao Jun, the interior of the water village is also heavily defended. Several blockades made Zhou Yu realize how difficult it was to put the fireship in front of Cao's warship.

This question obviously bothered Zhou Yu very much, and he obviously did not know how to deceive the Cao army's water village gate, and then let several fireships pass through the several blockade lines set up by the Cao army unharmed and reach the Cao army's warships.

This question has always bothered Zhou Yu, and when he decided to attack Cao Jun, this question appeared in front of him together. The fire attack will be taken by surprise, and if Cao Jun is aware of it, then everything will be in vain.

On this day, Zhou Yu convened the ministers again. As for how to break into Cao's military camp, Zhou Yu had already discussed many times with his ministers, but there was no ideal result many times. Seeing the silence in the tent, Zhou Yu knew that today's events would not have any good results.

Zhou Yu felt a trace of helplessness in this regard, time waits for no one, if he can't make any progress, the Sun-Liu coalition army will inevitably not be able to support it. If that time comes, Cao's army will win without a fight and then seize the entire Jiangdong. This is obviously not something that Zhou Yu wants to see, and he can't tolerate it.

In the conference hall, looking at the silent people in the hall, Zhou Yu was somewhat annoyed. I think that Jiangdong is also full of talents, but no one can solve problems for himself, do you have to count on Zhuge Liang. However, Zhuge Liang was obviously silent at the moment, and he didn't have any good ideas.

Suddenly, a word flashed in Zhou Yu's mind, there are many talents, yes, this is it. You must know that Cao Cao is a person who loves talents very much, if he gave him a talent for nothing, would Cao Cao accept it. There is a great possibility that Cao Cao will accept this, after all, this is his character.

With this thought, Zhou Yu began to scan the generals in the big tent. If you want to implement this plan, you need to choose a general who can not only get Cao Cao's appreciation, but also make yourself a complete Jiangdong general. If some cutting-edge Jiangdong generals are obviously incompetent, only some well-known veterans can do it.

Jiangdong, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, does have them, Huang Gai and Cheng Pu are all veterans of the Three Dynasties, and the two of them have been serving the Sun family since Sun Jian, thinking about it, Zhou Yu decided that Huang Gai was more suitable for this plan. Although Cheng Pu is also a veteran who has assisted Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan, he is also the oldest. Of course, age is secondary, the most important thing is that Cheng Pu is quite famous in Jiangdong, and all Jiangdong generals must call him Cheng Gong, such a person will choose to betray Cao Jun, this kind of words, I am afraid that no one in Jiangdong will believe it. A strategy that no one else can deceive, how can he deceive Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's command is also full of talents, even if Cao Cao loves talents, many of his advisers will not open their eyes to see Cao Cao deceived. Therefore, only the old general Huang Gai can be qualified for this plan. Thinking of this, Zhou Yu turned his head to look at Huang Gai.

Seeing Zhou Yu suddenly look at him, Huang Gai was obviously slightly stunned. He obviously didn't know what Zhou Yu was doing with him. However, Zhou Yu smiled, and the solemnity on his face suddenly disappeared, it was obvious that Zhou Yu must have thought of how to deal with Cao Jun. Could it be that this matter has something to do with him, Huang Gai thought to himself.

After a while, Zhou Yu suddenly spoke: "You all know that the Cao Army's Water Village is well defended, and it is obviously quite difficult to deceive the Cao Army's Water Village Gate and then put several fireships into the Cao Army's camp. Now I have a plan, but I don't know if you dare to do it. ”

Seeing that Zhou Yu had been looking at himself when he said this, Huang Gai suddenly knew that this matter must have a close relationship with him. Before Zhou Yu could say anything more, Huang Gai suddenly stood up and said loudly: "What plan does Governor Zhou have but it doesn't hurt to say it, he will inevitably die for Jiangdong in the future!" ”

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, and then said loudly: "Old General Huang is really courageous and commendable, but it is not a joke to break into the Cao army camp alone, if you are not careful, you may be surrounded by tens of thousands of Cao army regiments." The old general is old, but he is still ......"

Although Zhou Yu's words were not finished, everyone could hear the meaning of his words. Obviously, Zhou Yu's words somewhat looked down on Huang Gai.

And Huang Gai was obviously also a hot temper, I saw him slam the table, and then stood up and said: "What is Zhou Dudu's words, do you think that I will be afraid of Cao Jun!" ”
