Zhou Yu's extreme self-confidence really made Liu Bei speechless.

Thinking that he Liu Bei and Cao Ying fought a battle for a lifetime, and now he is forced to this point, all he thinks about is how to protect himself again, and the young governor of Eastern Wu in front of him, the original strategic concept is not only limited to repelling Cao Ying, but also has a great appetite to capture Cao Ying alive!

Liu Bei smiled secretly in his heart: "It seems that this Zhou Yu is not only arrogant as Fang Shao said, but has been arrogant to the point of arrogance. ”

However, in front of Zhou Yu, he didn't dare to show it, and just sighed at the moment: "Zhou Dudu's plan is so far-reaching, it really makes Bei admire, and this battle has Dudu in command of the Wu army, and Bei is relieved." ”

Liu Bei's words, firstly, to compliment Zhou Yu, and secondly, to tell Zhou Yu in a corner: You are just the commander of the Wu army, don't want to get involved in my people, I Liu Bei is not under your control.

Zhou Yu didn't eat his set, stabilized from Fang Cai's excitement, and asked: "On the side of Cao Thief, Yu deserves it, but I don't know what Liu Yuanjun can do in this battle?" ”

Zhou Yu's words are clearly saying that he Liu Bei is a small general, and he is completely a waste wood for eating idle food, no matter how good Liu Bei's temper is, his face is a little unbearable.

His face gradually darkened a little, but he couldn't resist impulsiveness again, just smiled very contrivedly, and said: "There are still thousands of elite soldiers under the Beimen, and there are 10,000 elite soldiers of the Yushui Army, and Liu Qi Gongzi also has no less than 10,000 soldiers in Xiakou, and our army is enough to block the Cao army coming along the Han River and ensure the safety of the side and rear for the governor." ”

Liu Bei simply showed his hole cards, and if he didn't show it at this time, he would have no chance.

Cao Ying's advance this time, although the main force along the Yangtze River eastward, but another north road army from Xiangyang, along the Han River south, if this force broke through the blockade of Xiakou, then Zhou Yu's army will face the danger of being flanked by the front soldiers. Of course, the most important thing is Guan Yu's navy, if there is no such navy, even if Er Liu has Xiakou, it is impossible to block the Jingzhou navy from Xiangyang south.

It is impossible for Zhou Yu not to ignore this, at this time, his disdainful attitude has changed slightly, and suddenly he smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Liu Yuanjun had the foresight to prepare this naval army in advance, then well, Hanshui Yu will be relieved to hand over to the envoy and Liu Qi, I don't think the two will let Yu down." Yu will rest in Fankou tonight, and get up early tomorrow morning to go straight to Chibi, I don't know whether the envoy wants to enter Chibi with Yu, or stay to preside over the overall situation of Xiakou. ”

Liu Bei didn't think about it, and immediately said: "Well, I'll have to go back and make some deployments." ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Okay, Yu still has military affairs in his body, so he won't leave the envoy to eat, so please make the gentleman please." ”

Zhou Yu was "stingy", and when night was approaching, he didn't even want to entertain dinner, and in the end, he pulled Liu Bei's face.

"There are also a lot of things to arrange, so don't bother the governor, and leave first."

Liu Bei didn't want to stay longer, so he immediately got up and said goodbye, and when the two of them got off Zhou Yu's flagship and returned to their own boat, it was already the end of the sun.

At this time, Liu Bei's anger came out, and he scolded indignantly: "What a Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang, so arrogant, it is really too deceitful." ”

Fang Shao said with relief: "Zhou Yu is arrogant, sooner or later he will taste the consequences, the lord doesn't have to care." ”

As soon as Fang Shao said this, Liu Bei's mood gradually calmed down, and he suddenly sneered, and said: "You are right, if you are too high, you will inevitably be tabooed, this should be firmly remembered, it may be useful to us in the future." ”

Liu Bei regained his composure, remembering Fang Shao's performance in front of Zhou Yu just now, he praised and said: "I lost you just now, so that I wouldn't be stumped by that Zhou Yu, Zhongzheng, it seems that you do have some talent in military affairs." ”

Fang Shao hurriedly said humbly: "The lord has won the award, in fact, Shao has listened to a lot of my husband's talk about the army, and added some of his own opinions." ”

Liu Bei nodded slightly: "It turns out that the military advisor has already analyzed it, which is not surprising, but it is not easy for you to have your own opinion, so keep working hard." ”

While the two of them were talking, the boat had docked, and Liu Bei went straight back to the Fankou camp, and after seeing Zhang Fei, Xu Shu and others, he had nothing to hide, and told everyone the truth about Zhou Yu's rude performance at that time.

That Zhang Fei was the first to be angry, and scolded: "I thought that this Zhou Yu was a gentleman, but I didn't expect that he was also a villain with no one in his eyes, brother, when I go to see him again, I will scold him fiercely to see if he is still arrogant." ”

Of course Liu Bei would not condone Zhang Fei, if he wanted to get angry, he would have turned his face with Zhou Yu at that time, and he still needed to hold it in one breath until now.

Liu Bei sighed and said: "Yi Demo has to be impulsive, now the people are powerful, we are weak, if you have a request for others, you can bear it." ”

Compared with Zhang Fei's anger, Xu Shu was much calmer, he thought for a moment, and said: "Lord, I think that Zhou Yu is not really rude to the lord like this, most likely because he wants the lord to feel that he is not easy to get along with, and he is unwilling to fight Cao Ye with him in anger, in this way, he can take the lead alone." ”

The alliance of two independent forces is bound to be based on common interests, and the greatest interest of the Sun and Liu families after the war is the ownership of Jingzhou after the war. Although Jingzhou was originally surnamed Liu, but now it has the surname Cao, and after defeating Cao Ying in the future, who Jingzhou belongs to, or who gets more territory, of course, will be determined by who has the credit in this war.

According to Xu Shu's analysis, Zhou Yu's purpose was to exclude Liu Bei from the great achievement of defeating Cao Ying's main force.

Liu Bei was frightened when he heard this, and said: "What Yuan Zhi said is reasonable, I almost fell for Zhou Yu's plan, this person's scheming is really vicious." That Ming said that Zilong will take a hundred personal soldiers, and go to Chibi with me and that Zhou Yu, Yide and Yuan Zhi will meet Kong Ming's army division and lead the remaining 3,000 soldiers and horses to stand still in Fankou, as for Yun Chang, quickly go to pass my order, tell him to guard the Jiangkou, just prevent the Han Shui Cao army from entering the Yangtze River, and do not enter the army easily until it is absolutely necessary. ”

Zhang Fei was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Brother, how can you only bring a hundred men and horses, why don't you go to Chibi with the whole army, otherwise how can you compete with that Zhou Yu." ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Zhou Yu is too arrogant, it is difficult to say whether this battle is won or lost, and whether it is victory or defeat, these three thousand people are our precious bargaining chips for self-protection, and we must not lose a little more." ”
