"Mr. Yuanzhi." Liu Feng and Liu Qi got up at the same time.

Xu Shu's face, which was haggard a day ago, is now vaguely excited, as if today's meeting has given him a stimulant.

"Mr. Xu, I heard Ah Feng say that Zhou Yu plans to go back to the west of the Jiangxi and go to Chibi to fight Cao Jun in a decisive battle?" In order to ensure that nothing was wrong, Liu Qi couldn't help but ask again.

Xu Shu also knew what Liu Qi was worried about, so he explained Zhou Yu's battle plan again. Even a resourceful person like Xu Shu agreed, and Liu Qi finally put his mind at ease one hundred percent.

"It is said that Zhou Yu is the first wise general in Jiangdong, and it seems that it is indeed worthy of his reputation. Alas, it's a pity that those strategists like Kuai Yue around my father are all vain, and I can't see the important surname of Lukou, if I had known that this place was so important, I wouldn't have been passive everywhere in these years of fighting with Jiangdong. ”

From this comment of "the first wise general", it can be seen that Liu Qi's hostility towards Zhou Yu has been reduced a lot.

Xu Shu sneered: "The people of Kuai Yue are just good at scheming, and when it comes to using soldiers, they are not worth mentioning at all." However, the reason why this Zhou Dudu chose the location of the decisive battle in Chibi was not just to defend Lukou. ”

Xu Shu's demeanor and words vaguely hinted at something, Liu Feng realized that he must have something to say, so he took the opportunity to ask: "According to Mr. So, according to Mr. Zhou's move, in addition to Gongwei Lukou, what is the reason?" ”

Xu Shu turned his gaze to Liu Qi: "Zide Gongzi, you were born in Jingzhou since you were a child, you must know the terrain of Jingzhou well, Wulin, you should know about this place, right?" ”

'Ulin! Could it be that he ...... ' Liu Feng's heart shook suddenly.

Liu Qi didn't know why Xu Shu suddenly asked, touched his chin and muttered: "Wulin, I passed by a few times when I went to Jiangling a few years ago, it seems that there is a dry road that can pass through Yunmengze to Jiangling, but that place is muddy and cold, and I have never gone ashore to see it before." ”

As he spoke, Liu Qi's eyes lit up: "By the way, the south bank opposite Ulin happens to be Chibi!" ”

Xu Shu laughed and no longer played tricks: "Zhou Yu seized Chibi, Cao Ying had to set up camp in Wulin on the north bank, and set up camp in such a place where he violated the taboo of soldiers, and he fell behind first, which is the second intention of Zhou Yu to seize Chibi." ”

What Xu Shu said was the same as the prediction made by the mysterious man in the notebook, but what puzzled Liu Feng was that when he met with Zhou Yu, why didn't Xu Shu say the second reason?

"Mr. Yuanzhi, I was also there when I met with Zhou Yu, why did you only say one reason?" Liu Fenghu asked suspiciously.

The corners of his mouth were slightly slanted, and a touch of weirdness surged on his angular face, Xu Shu laughed dryly: "I deliberately didn't say anything, naturally I didn't want to steal the limelight of the governor of Zhou, this time to fight against Cao Jun, mainly rely on Zhou Yu and his Wu Jun, this face, of course, I have to give enough people." ”

Liu Feng suddenly realized, it turned out that Xu Shu didn't fail to see it, but deliberately didn't say it. Thinking that when he had read the note before, he had also lamented that Xu Shu's strategy was inferior to Zhou Yu, and now that he learned the truth, Liu Feng had to secretly laugh at himself.

Liu Qi did not participate in the earlier meeting, and did not know anything about the contest between the wise man and the wise man, and of course, this was not something he was interested in.

"Since the Wu people plan to fight hard with Cao Ying, then we are also happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, I don't know when my uncle will return to Xiakou, and he and I can fight together against the Cao army on the North Road."

Xu Shu shook his head: "My lord, he won't go back to Xiakou for the time being, he has decided to go to Chibi with Zhou Yu and personally participate in the decisive battle of Chibi." ”

Well, he is very smart, if he does not personally participate in the Battle of Chibi, how can he be qualified to win the fruits after the war. ’

Liu Feng had a bottom in his heart, but Liu Qi was taken aback: "The Cao army on the West Road is powerful, even if Zhou Yu seizes the danger, he may not have a full chance of winning, so why should my uncle take the risk himself." ”

"Chibi has always been the main battlefield, if this battle is won, but the lord does not participate in it, then the great achievement of the success of the anti-Cao Dynasty, won't all be robbed by the Wu people, then after the war, we will lose more say on the issue of retaking Jingzhou. My lord, he also had to do it as a last resort. ”

Xu Shu's explanation was in line with Liu Feng's guess, but Liu Qi obviously didn't expect it to be so far-reaching, he was anxious as soon as he heard this: "What does Mr. Yuanzhi mean by this, didn't we make a secret decision at the beginning, joining Wu to fight against Cao, it's just a plan of 'killing two birds with one stone', once Cao's army fails, let's stab Wu Ren from behind, and sweep this wolf and tiger out of Jingzhou together, why does my uncle suddenly seem to have changed his plan now?" ”

This so-called 'killing two birds with one stone' plan is just an excuse that Liu Feng didn't want Liu Bei to turn his face on Liu Qi at the beginning, and he thought of it on the spot, but he didn't expect that for so many days, Liu Qi hadn't figured out the loopholes.

Liu Feng coughed lightly, picked up the cup, lowered his head to drink tea, and kicked this lying problem to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu smiled helplessly: "Plans always can't catch up with changes, do you remember that yesterday we got the information brought back by Sun Gongyou, saying that it was Wu Hou appointing Cheng Pu as the governor of the right capital?" ”

Liu Feng put down the teacup and looked surprised: "Of course I remember, but Mr. analyzed that Wu Hou did this because he wanted to use Cheng Pu to restrain Zhou Yu, is there any connection between these two things?" ”

"Of course it does. The Wu army's advance this time, with Zhou Yu leading 20,000 people as the main force, seized Chibi. Cheng Pu's 10,000 men were stationed in the lower reaches of Lukou as the second legion, in the name of defending the grain route for Zhou Yu's army. In my opinion, Cheng Pujun's deployment like this, monitoring and suppressing Zhou Yu is only one layer of intention, and most of these other intentions are ......"

"It's trying to guard against us!" Without waiting for Xu Shu to finish speaking, Liu Feng, who was in a trance for a while, blurted out.

Xu Shu sneered: "That's exactly what I mean." Cheng Pu's navy lives in the lower reaches of Lukou, which can not only monitor the movements of our army in Xiakou, but also cooperate with Zhou Yu's army to sanitize Lukou. As long as Lukou is in their hands, the grain route of the Wu army on the front line can pass through the land and water, bypassing Xiakou and maintaining communication with Chaisang. Zide Gongzi, do you think we will still have a chance to fight back then? ”

Xu Shu's words made Liu Qi speechless, and his expression became anxious again, "If this is the case, then isn't the final result the same as what I was worried about before, or has it evolved into a front door to reject the tiger and the back door to lead the wolf into the room." ”

Xu Shu's eyebrows trembled slightly, looking at his expression, it seemed that he was brewing some new reason to fool Liu Qi.

Liu Feng couldn't stand it anymore, speaking from his heart, Liu Qi treated them sincerely, forced to survive, deceived him again and again, openly and secretly, and took advantage of him, and now Liu Qi only has two or three thousand soldiers and horses left in his hands, and all the key positions in Jiangxia County have been replaced by their people. It's all at this point, and fooling him like a clown, in Liu Feng's opinion, it's really a bit too much.

So, Liu Feng rushed ahead of Xu Shu, and said with a calm and relieved face: "The world is unpredictable, how can we control everything." Brother, look away, at this time, you can only take one step at a time. ”

Liu Qi fell into silence, was silent for a long time, shook his head and sighed.
