Before Cao Ying's words fell, the soldiers outside reported again, saying that Cai Mao had 100,000 urgent things to see.

Cao Yingzheng was giving everyone a special talk about his "wonderful strategy", and he was swept away by Cai Mao's excitement, and his face sank at the moment, but he waved his hand: "Call him in." ”

Suddenly, Cai Mao entered in a panic, hurriedly saluted, and said, "Prime Minister Qi, something is wrong." ”

Cao Ying's face at this moment has changed to a smile, and said: "For the general, when there is the ability of Mount Tai to collapse in front and not change color, De Jue, you command tens of thousands of water troops, and you are a lone and deeply relied on love general, and you must be calm in everything." ”

Cao Ying's words were serious, Cai Mao was flattered and surprised, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the prime minister taught a lesson." ”

Cao Ying nodded with satisfaction and said, "Just now you said that something is wrong, but another warship has run aground. ”

Cai Mao calmed his heart and said: "That's the case, Mao has just received information that the Liu-Sun coalition army has seized Chibi yesterday, and now it has set up a water camp on the south bank, most likely to prepare to meet our army." ”

"What!"

Cao Ying's face changed suddenly, the name of Chibi, he had only glanced at the map when he had just glanced at it, and vaguely remembered that it was just a small place located a few hundred miles upstream of Xiakou, even if it was robbed by the enemy.

What really surprised Cao Ying was that the alliance between Liu and Sun was just that, but instead of consciously standing on the defensive side as they expected, they openly crossed Xiakou and went directly upstream to meet him, which was simply a provocation to him.

Cao Ying's expression quickly regained his composure, and said, "It's just a little chibi, why panic, bring the map." ”

Busy unfolding the map left and right, Cao Ying only carefully observed the upper reaches of Xiakou this time, this piece of the Yangtze River water area that was not in the battle plan.

After a long time, all of a sudden, his brows furrowed violently, and he said in a deep voice: "It turns out that you can go straight to Chaisang by land and water, no wonder they want to seize Chibi, Cai Mao, Chibi is such a vital place, why did you never mention it." ”

Cai Mao saw that Cao Ying was angry, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back, and he didn't even dare to raise his head, so he said in a panic: "Mao thinks that the prime minister only wants to take Xiakou first, kill Liu Bei and then attack Sun Quan, it is Mao's negligence, and the Yangtze River Naval Army has always been under the command of Huang Zu, and Mao has always been in charge of the Han Naval Army, so Mao ......"

Cai Mao was anxious to excuse herself, she was a little incoherent when she was nervous, and Cao Ying, who had always kept her face calm, suddenly laughed and said: "Lone is just asking casually, and has no other intentions, why should De Qi be nervous." By the way, how many people did Liu and Sun send this time, and who was the commander, Liu Bei or Sun Quan? ”

Cai Mao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "According to the detailed report, it was Zhou Yu who led the troops this time, and he brought a total of about 30,000 people from the Eastern Wu Navy, and Liu Bei was also in the army, but it seems that he didn't bring many people and horses. “

Cao Ying nodded slightly, and said: "Liu Bei is very smart, he wants to preserve his strength and let Wu Ren be his shield." As for this Zhou Yu, Lone had heard of it before, but he didn't know how he used his military skills? “

"Zhou Yu is still young, what can he do with the army, but because he followed Sun Ce to raise troops in his early years, after Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan relied on his support to sit firmly in Jiangdong, Mao thought that it was only because of this relationship, so Sun Quan sent this Zhou Yu to lead the army, and the prime minister didn't have to care."

Jingzhou and Jiangdong feud, when it comes to the people of Jiangdong, Cai Mao has nothing to say, not to mention that Zhou Yu has been leading troops to quell the rebellion in Wu County and other places, and the Sun family has rarely participated in the war in Jiangxia, which Cai Mao really doesn't know much about his people, so he said so disdainfully in front of Cao Ying.

Cao Ying listened and said: "This Zhou Yu dared to take the initiative to seek battle, which was indeed beyond Lone's expectations, but fortunately, Lone just annihilated all the main forces of Liu Bei and Sun Quan here." ”

At this time, Xun You had a worried face and said: "Prime Minister, I look at the terrain of this red cliff, the Sun and Liu families have already taken the lead, and our army is actually less than 80,000 at the moment, and the army in the north and south of the Han River is still far away from Xiakou, and it cannot form an effective echo with us, so it seems that it is not suitable to fight with Liu Sun at this time." “

Cao Ying's eyebrows glowed with pride, and said: "Lone used to be a mere 20,000 people, completely annihilating Yuan Shao's 100,000 army, and now even if there are only 80,000 people in his hands, in the face of a rabble of 30,000 led by a yellow-mouthed child, it is difficult to retreat, if so, Lone will not have to be ridiculed by the world, and the soldiers of the whole army will also be disappointed in Lone!" Therefore, this battle must be fought alone. ”

Cao Ying was determined to do so, and the ministers did not dare to persuade him again.

Cao Ying stepped forward at this time, stroked Cai Mao's back, and said earnestly: "Deqi, Lone has great expectations for you, this battle depends on you, don't let Lone down." ”

Cai Mao had just provoked Cao Ying's anger, this time I wished I could have the opportunity to "wear the guilt and make meritorious service", hearing Cao Ying's encouragement, his spirit immediately perked up, and he said angrily: "Although the prime minister relaxes, Cai Mao will kill Zhou Yu without leaving a piece of armor, in order to repay the prime minister's kindness." “

Cao Ying's face showed a look of relief, so he smiled proudly and said, "Good, even good!" Spread the fate of Lonely, the whole army will rest tonight, come to cheer up, and go to Chibi to fight to the death with that Zhou Yu! ”

——————

This night, Fang Shao tossed and turned, and when he wanted the day after tomorrow, or earlier, he would experience a big battle that would determine the direction of history, and he couldn't sleep anyway.

The rules of history, up to now, have developed in the right direction as he expected, and his status and insight have also grown step by step. What he hopes for is that at a certain moment, there will be enough power to reverse a certain node related to the rise and fall. However, the premise for the implementation of all these plans lies in whether the current most dangerous stage can be successfully passed.

Perhaps, due to occasional reasons, history will lose control due to this battle, and turn to the side that is not conducive to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and as a person in Liu Bei's camp, he will also face the test of life and death.

There is no way back, we must be brave and go on without looking back.

"Hmph, it's just a business, the more you dare to gamble, the greater the profits. Zhou Yu, I've bet all my money on you, you can't let me down. ”

Fang Shao suddenly felt well-being, he jumped up from the mattress, lifted the curtain, and walked out of the tent happily.

Looking at the west, the stars and the moon are at the end of the sky, and the east has been faintly white, and on the river, more than a dozen patrol boats of Soochow are cruising back and forth on the river.

It seems that tomorrow is a good day, just in time for war.

When he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone behind him laugh and said, "I got up so early, I'm in a good mood, are you going to look at the stars, or are you going to see the stars?" ”
