Zi'an four June. Because Cao Cao and Jiang Zhe intended to use troops against Jiangdong, it was the reason. Dian was persuaded by Zhou Yu and Lu Su to prepare to join forces with Liu Bei.

For this reason, Sun Ce gave up Jiangxia, which was now at his fingertips, and ordered his younger brother Sun Quan to guard Chaisang, while he moved to Wuchang. As Sun Ce's sworn brother, Zhou Yu stationed troops at the mouth of the Sanjiang River.

At the end of June, the Cao army on the East Road was led by Guo Jia. Yu Lujiang defeated the Eastern Wu general Gan Ning. Gan Ning had no choice but to avoid Guo Jia's edge, retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, and settle in the south of the Yangtze River and Hulin.

At this point, Guo Jiadong Road Cao Jun was frustrated!

Compared with Jiang Zhelai, Guo Jia's soldiers and horses are not accustomed to water, and Jiang Zhe still has 100,000 sailors. and Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and other generals of the dry water army, but Guo Jia's command, but there is no one.

Even if you build a warship on the spot, no one will use it, so how can you cross the river and attack Jiangdong?

On the other hand, Gan Ning, the general of Eastern Wu, although he was defeated and retreated for a while, he firmly held the Yangtze River area, making it impossible for Guo Jia to take a step forward.

After a few small attempts, Guo Jia was forced by Gan Ning to retreat to the north of the Yangtze River, helpless.

It can also be said to cover Guo Jia, and Chen Deng, the assassin of Xuzhou, also used troops against Moling, Dantu and other places at the same time, but unfortunately he was also blocked by the Jiangdong general Zu Mao on the shore and could not go south.

At the beginning of July, Cao Cao, Xun You and others finally arrived with their troops and camped in the areas of Wulin and Hanyang, as for the 100,000 Jingzhou naval army led by Cai Mao. It also erected a water plug on the waterfront next to Hanyang.

I have to say that in addition to observing words and emotions and being good at speculation, Cai Mao does have some ability to plug the water in Hanyang directly and make it solid and leaky.

In addition to the 100,000 naval troops, nearly 300,000 Cao soldiers were stationed in Wulin, and the camp stretched for more than 100 miles.

On the other hand, Liu Bei also commanded the troops to set up in Xiakou. Across the river from Cao Jun, every time he looked at Cao Jun's camp and Cao Jun's water village, Liu Beijun was secretly frightened.

Under such a layout, Shiyang, which was originally unhindered. It seems to have become the front line, thinking that there are only 2,000 guards in the city, Shiyang Taishou Lu Xun immediately asked for help from Sanjiangkou, and he also went to Zhou Yu for help.

Lu Xun's concerns were not superfluous, when he sent the envoy, only one day later, Zhang Yun, the deputy commander of the navy, led 5,000 sailors, 100 boats, and Cao Hong, Xu Huang and 3,000 Cao soldiers under his command, attacked.

Hanyang, Shiyang, and Xiakou are located at the confluence of the Xiangjiang River and the Yangtze River, and Jia Xu's suggestion is that it is better to take Shiyang, which has relatively weak troops, first. Immediately, the two sides put pressure on Xia Kou, and Cao Cao and Jiang Zhe thought so.

On the 4th of July, Zhou Yu, who was stationed at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, received a request for help from Lu Xun."

After reading Lu Xun's letter with a smile on his face, Zhou Yu nodded approvingly, "My Jiangdong is also a frequent talent. This Lu Boyan is not simple, just looking at eyesight and insight, it is enough to defend one side, and the future is limitless! ”

Zhou Yu's voice fell, and Lu Meng, the general in the hall, said with a smile. "Hmph, in the eyes of the last general, this son is far away from the metropolitan governor, as early as a few days ago, the metropolitan governor has already sent reinforcements to Shiyang, right now, maybe the reinforcements have already arrived there, this letter, redundant!"

"Don't say that," Lu Su smiled and said, "At present, the Cao army has not yet moved troops against Shiyang, but this son is expected to be one step ahead and come to ask for help, which is enough to prove that this person is talented!" Be cautious, but don't be compared! ”

"Huh!" Zhou Yu, who was only in his twenties and fourteens, smiled slightly, put away the letter asking for help, put it aside, and said indifferently, "If everyone in Jiangdong is like this, I can naturally help my brother achieve great things, even if he is compared, Yu is also happy in his heart!" ”

"The princess is a good concubine!" Lu Su's face was straight. Bow your hand and bow.

"Zi Jing don't want to make fun of Yu anymore" Zhou Yu smiled, and then as if he thought of something, he said with a chuckle, "But I never expected that I would be caught up by Jiang Zhe's more than 10,000 light horses." That Uncle Liu Huang was able to escape..."

"Uncle Liu?" Lu Meng smiled disdainfully, and was about to speak, but saw Lu Su smile and said, "Doesn't the Metropolitan Governor really plan to ask about this matter?" About Shiyang Taishou leaving his post without permission and going to Hanyang to help Uncle Liu Huang? ”

"Huh!" Zhou Yu turned around and took a cup of tea from the desk next to him, blew the hot air, and said lightly. "Shi Yang has never fallen because of this, why bother to do it many times? This son is brave, resourceful, and courageous. Although he is young, he is enough to guard Shiyang! Although I sent 5,000 soldiers over, if Jiang Zhe raised a large army to attack Shiyang

"I'm worried about it," Lu Su said with a smile. "From the point of view, if Jiang Zhe takes Shiyang, it is just to coerce Xia Kou. Success, of course, is a good thing, but if it doesn't, what can it do for Jiang Zhe? At present, Jiang Zhe's purpose is in Xiakou. If Xiakou is lost, Jiangxia will not be protected; Jiangxia, I am afraid that Jiangdong is in danger of capsizing! ”

Hearing what Lu Su said, Zhou Yu did not comment on it, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "If the righteous brother is here, Chong Zijing's remarks will be directed to Cao Cao and Jiang Zhe to fight a decisive battle."

"That's why I only dare to say such things to the governor in the future!" Lu Su smiled and said.

"Hmm" Zhou Yu nodded, sighed slightly, and said, "Brother Wangyong, it's a pity that my heart is too irritable." Even if Yu and the second son persuaded hard, they could only persuade the righteous brother to garrison Wuchang, but the righteous brother didn't want to think about it. In such a situation, he is even more required to guard Chaisang. To reassure people's hearts! ”

"The lord is the lord of the map, and he is not an ordinary person. What's more, Chaisang still has the second son, and the second son's power is enough to appease the family and calm people's hearts! "This is also the case," Zhou Yu smiled and nodded. can be regarded as agreeing with Lu Su's words, and then, he pondered for a while, and said solemnly, "As far as we know, he Liu Xuande actually broke through from that Situ heavy army" Since Zijing has seen Zhuge Kongming, why don't you tell me, how about Zhuge Kongming's talent? ”

"Hmm" Lu Su thought secretly, and arched his hand and said, "Zhuge Liang is calm, and his plan is also to seek stability and accuracy!" ”

"Resembles his brother!" Zhou Yu smiled. Putting down the teacup, he said in a condensed voice, "So, what about Master Situ?" ”

"It's hard to say this," he said, shaking his head. Lu Su hesitated and said, "Although I have seen Jiang Zhe in Xia earlier, I still haven't seen this person clearly, but this person has always tended to be strange and fast, but he is a calm person."

"The use of tricks does not mean that he does not know the right way to use soldiers" Zhou Yu said indifferently, "It's just that in the form of Cao Cao, Jiang Zhe couldn't be given enough soldiers and horses" After saying that, he glanced at Lu Meng, and said, "Ziming, I will ask you to go to Shiyang and help that Lu family boy." In order to ensure that Shiyang is not lost, if Jiang Zhe comes with heavy troops, he will abandon Shiyang and come to my Sanjiangkou! ”

"This," Lu Meng hesitated, and finally clenched his fists to take the order, "No!" ”

Looking at the resignation of this officer, Lu Su chuckled and said, "Gong Jin seems to be a little protective of that Lu Xun?" ”

"Oh, there is Zhou Yu smiled slightly, laughing at himself and saying that even if there is, this afternoon is a private matter. However, at present, it is not possible to compete with Jiang Zhe and other strategists, this son is a century-old talent, and he can't be taken lightly, "For that little Jiangxia, I can't harm a great talent in Jiangdong in the future, so Zijing is satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied, satisfied!" Lu Su arched his hand with a smile, and then said with a straight face, "In this case, this place depends on the princess, and I am still a little worried about the lord, so I still set off early and rushed to Wuchang!" ”

"That's it!" Zhou Yu nodded and got up, clasped his fists and said happily, "Youzijing is beside the righteous brother to advise." Yu can rest easy! ”

"How dare you, then go first!"

"I'll send you a tribute!"

"No, thank you!"

Just when Zhou Yu sent Lu Su out of the camp, Shi Yang was there. Lu Xun happened to receive a notification that reinforcements had arrived.

No way?

Lu Xun, who is only about fifteen years old, is very surprised. After hurrying to the city, he clearly saw thousands of Jiangdong soldiers standing outside the city.

Lu Xun, who finally repelled a group of Cao Jun, was secretly speechless in his heart.

I only sent a letter asking for help yesterday, and today there are reinforcements?

Calling the general to enter the city and asking a lot of questions, Lu Xun was finally convinced, while ordering the city gate to be opened to let the soldiers and horses outside the city enter, while secretly calculating how much time it would take to transfer troops from Sanjiangkou to this point,

After calculating it, Lu Xun couldn't help but be a little discouraged. The army had probably set out a few days earlier. That is, his own letter for help. It didn't work in the slightest.

"Infuriating guy!" Lu Xun secretly discussed, and then counted the reinforcements, and was shocked. He is cautious. They sent 5,000 soldiers?

You know, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses in Sanjiangkou."

"Accept your love once!" Muttered, Lu Xun immediately shouted, "What are you still stunned about, although Cao Jun retreated for a while, he is not sure when he will come to take Shiyang, Lu Dang, arrange for the soldiers to rest for a while!" ”

"No!" Lu Xun's deputy general, the Lu family's general Lu Dang responded with his fists.

At the same time, Hanyang Caojun Water Village!

Accompanied by Cai Mao, the commander of the navy, Cao Cao and Jiang Zhe inspected the water village that had just been settled, looking at the various buildings and defenses in the water village, although they were not clear, Cao Cao also nodded again and again.

Like Cao Cao, listening to Cai Mao's respectful words in his ear, Jiang Zhe was confused in his heart, nodded, coughed and said, "En." I see! ”

Secretly glancing at Cao Cao and Jiang Zhe, Cai Mao was embarrassed to find that he had said so much, and it didn't seem to have any effect.

"Well done!" Cao Cao, who didn't know how to pretend to understand, looked around and nodded, and said in a condensed voice, "The navy will be handed over to you, and in the future, you don't have to come to tell me about the navy, just return to Shouyi!" ”

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the righteousness in Cao Cao's mouth was naturally referring to his uncle. Jiang Zhe!

"Yes, my lord!" Cai Mao, who was secretly happy in her heart, hurriedly hugged her fists and saluted, and then raised her hand and said. "Lord, uncle, why don't I wait and visit the water plug defense

"No need, I can trust you" Cao Cao waved his hand and said, visiting the water plug is just a routine matter, to see how Cai Mao is capable and whether he has the ability to fight with Jiangdong, but it is not where he is interested.

"Let's go, keep righteousness, it's early autumn now, the autumn breeze is cool, just drink" I'll wait for the drink! ”

Can you find a suitable reason? The corners of Jiang Zhe's eyes twitched, and he was about to speak, but he was already pulled away by Cao Cao.

Looking at the two of them going away, Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, although Jiang Zhe had hinted at him earlier. Cai Mao only needs to introduce the defense and construction in the water village to Cao Cao as usual. However, Cai Mao still had some concerns in her heart, and she was afraid that Cao Cao would not be satisfied.

Secretly wiping the cold sweat on her forehead, Cai Mao laughed at herself. As soon as he turned around, he happened to see Xiahou and his party coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug his fists, "The last general has seen General Xiahou!" ”

Xiahoudun seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just waved his hand and said in a somewhat impatient tone, "See me in the future, don't call me that" When it comes to position, you are still above me! ”

"How dare you dare, how can the last general compare to General Xiahou, if General Xiahou does not give up, the end of today will be the east. General Xiahou has a drink! ”

"No need, I still have important things to do right now," after saying a word, Xiahoudun seemed to remember Jiang Zhe's words, his heart sank, and he coughed and said. "Since Commander Cai is so fond of him, everyone, if I don't bother, won't I look down on General Cai?"

The person who looks down on him the most is you, right? Everyone behind him glanced at Xiahoudun strangely, clenched their fists and smiled, "What General Xiahou said is extremely true, so. I want General Cai to bother a lot! ”

"Where, where!" Cai Mao's face was overjoyed. Raised his hand and said, "Everyone, General Xiahou, please!" ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Xiahou Dianjiang pulled Cai Mao over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are the master of this fortress, you should be in front, don't talk nonsense." Let's go! ”

"Yes, yes!"

Watching the group gradually walk away, Jia Xu, who was looking at the other side not far away, smiled slightly.

After settling Xiahoudun, the rest of the people are naturally not a problem, but the current concern is whether Cai Mao's navy can compete with the Jiangdong navy! It is said that there are 400,000 soldiers and horses, but on the river, I am afraid that only the 100,000 Jingzhou naval army can still be used, and the remaining 300,000 soldiers and horses, abandoning horses and boats, are already at a disadvantage.

Situ, it's too early to take Jiangdong now!

Three days later, Zhang Yun, Cao Hong, Xu Huang and others failed to attack Shiyang and returned to Hanyang.

After explaining that there were reinforcements arriving in Shiyang, Cao Cao did not blame the generals, but just told them to return to their respective battalions.

Speaking of which, I want to mention one thing, Cao Ying, from Hanyang to Wulin, except for the main camp and the water village of the navy, which is more than 100 in a row, the rest of the generals. Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Zhang Jaw, Zhang Liao and other generals, as well as Xu Huang, who failed to attack Shiyang, were all generals in Cao's army who were able to take on heavy responsibilities and defend one side.

That night, Jiang Zhe was studying "Qimen Dunjia" in the tent alone, and suddenly heard someone enter the tent. He smiled and said, "Situ hasn't rested yet?" ”

Jiang Zhe raised his hand and saw that it was Jia Xu and Sima Yi, so he put down the book, raised his hand and said with a smile, "Wenhe, Zhongda, sit!" ”

"Thank you!" Jia Xu and Sima Yi bowed their hands and sat down face to face in the tent seats.

and instructed the soldiers outside the tent to bring a jar of fine wine. Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "You two are here late at night. There must be something important, I'll talk about it while we drink! ”

"Yes!" Jia Xu arched his hand and was about to say something, but he saw that the tent cloth was lifted, and Mi Heng looked at it as if no one had to enter

"Zhengping" secretly glanced at Jiang Zhe. Although Jiang Zhe was surprised, he was not a little annoyed. Jia Xu's heart was relieved, and then he shouted slightly angrily, "Situ didn't blame you for being rude, but you behaved like this. Can it be called a courtesy?! ”

Glancing at Jia Xu, Mi Heng hesitated, bowed his hand and said, "In Xia Menglang, I am asking Situ to forgive my sins!" After that, he glanced at Sima Yi, who was gloating, and snorted coldly.

"It's okay!" Jiang Zhe had a little headache, looked at Mi Heng and Sima Yi and glared angrily, looked at Jia Xu with a wry smile, and said in a condensed voice, "Wen He is here, there must be something important to teach me."

"How dare you" Ignoring Mi Heng and Sima Yi, Jia Xu humbly arched his hand, and then said with a straight face, "Dare to ask Situ, I don't know when to use troops against Jiangxia and even Jiangdong?" ”

"Come on" Holding the wine cup, Jiang Zhe hesitated and said, "Recently, the water village has been completed, and the soldiers have also been recuperating for nearly a month, and the soldiers are in full bloom, just to use troops against Jiangxia!" ”

"This" Jia Xu hesitated, looked up at Jiang Zhe and said, "There are still some concerns in the hearts of the subordinates, although our army has 400,000 soldiers and horses in this battle, it is a pity that those who are good at water warfare are at best only 100,000 water troops in Jingzhou, in contrast, the Jiangdong and Jiangxia coalition armies are not less than 100,000, and the two have lived in the Jiang case for a long time, and they are deeply accustomed to the subtlety of water warfare, and the subordinates think." If you don't garrison troops here, prepare for war on the one hand, and train troops on the other, so as to wait for the spring of next year, our naval army will be completed, and then use troops against Jiangdong.

According to the opinion of the disciples, Jiangxia is not to be feared, but those who can be worried are in Jiangdong! And with only 100,000 soldiers to take Jiangdong, the subordinates thought it was too dangerous! Again. What is the combat power of the navy, we still don't know. After hearing the name of the Jiangdong Navy for a long time, the subordinates were afraid that "Speaking of this, he secretly glanced at Jiang Zhe.

"How is our army's navy, how is the Jiangdong navy. Doesn't you know everything when you fight? Sima Yi interjected with a laugh on the side.

Perverse! He glanced at Sima Yi with contempt. Mi Heng sneered and said, "I don't know you and me, vainly trying to fight the army, the way to self-defeat!" There is no plan! ”

"What did you say?" Sima Yi was furious when he heard this, and said with a sneer, "If you are as pedantic as you. Even if it is a hundred years, Jiangdong cannot take it! ”

"You!" Mi Heng is also furious.

"In front of Situ, Hugh is presumptuous!" Jia Xu snorted coldly, but saw Sima Yi and Mi Heng looking at each other and sneering, don't look around.

Shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Zhe frowned and said, "I don't know who I am, this is a trouble, Wen He." I mean, it's better to invite Jiangdong to fight. Temptation to test the strength of the enemy and me, how about the text and meaning? ”

Sima Yi glanced at Mi Heng proudly. But seeing Jia Xu hesitate and said, "Situ, we have besieged Jiangdong on three sides, and my subordinates think that Jiangdong District is a place where there is no need to be so dangerous", since Situ insists on this, there is a plan in the next place. Can force out the Jiangdong Naval Army! ”

Jiang Zhe was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "It's worthy of Wenhe!" ”

"Situ Yan is heavy," Jia Xu arched his hand and said in a low voice. "So so, so"

Cao Jun set up a huge camp on the other side of the river, and the blow to Liu Beijun was immeasurable.

Just like when Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao's camp that stretched for hundreds of miles, now, just looking at the Cao army camp that stretched for more than 100 miles on the other side, Liu Bei's soldiers felt a little less warlike in their hearts.

"Do you want me to wait and fight with hundreds of thousands of Cao troops? How is this possible? ”

A group of Liu Bei sergeants patrolling the river bank was killed. One looked at the other side, his face full of horror.

"Hugh is going to say it again, be careful of the general's punishment for your crime of disturbing the morale of the army!" More than 20 days ago, Li Tieniu, who narrowly escaped with his life in Hanyang, shouted in a low voice.

"I'm just telling the truth," the soldier reluctantly argued.

Glancing at the soldier, Li Tieniu, who had just been promoted to the rank of captain, sighed slightly, and said secretly in his heart, Yes, such a number of Cao Jun. How do we respond? If it weren't for a fluke that day, the 10,000 light horsemen would have chased and killed us all.

Recalling the thrilling scene in Hanyang, Rao walked towards the bold Li Tieniu, and he also broke out in a cold sweat.

"Huh? That's a shaved "suddenly." One of the soldiers under his command exclaimed.

Li Tieniu frowned and looked at it, and saw countless bamboo pipes floating in the river, drifting down with the river.

"Fish a few up!" Li Tieniu frowned and shouted.

"No!"

After tinkering for a while, everyone finally fished a few ashore, and after a careful look, they found that these bamboo pipes could be opened.

Taking out the cloth in the bamboo tube, Li Tieniu frowned and looked at the words on it"

Sorry, he's illiterate!

An hour later, Li Tieniu immediately reported this to Liu Bei, who was in Jiangxia.

"Today, I command a million troops, and invite Wu Hou to hunt in Jiangdong" roughly swept the words on the cloth. Liu Bei looked surprised, looked back at the people in the tent, frowned and said, "Could it be a war letter to Jiangdong?" ”

"Hmm!" Nodding, Zhuge Liang stepped forward to take the cloth in Liu Bei's hand, and said concentratingly, "It is indeed a war book, but such a number of bamboo pipes down the river, if they are picked up by the people of Jiangdong." Jiangdong must be in turmoil, "commanding millions of troops." Jiang Zhe really dares to say it! ”

"Almost" Xu Shu smiled bitterly and said thoughtfully, "Jiang Zhe has about 400,000 soldiers and horses, and Guo Jia has no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses under the command of Chen Deng, the assassin of Xuzhou, according to the opinion below, one million is a bit exaggerated, but sixty or seven hundred thousand, naturally there are! ”

"Does Jiang Zhe intend to disturb the hearts of the people of Jiangdong?" Jian Yong pondered for a moment and interjected.

"Hmm" Zhuge Liang nodded, and said with a solemn face, "Perhaps, Jiang Zhe is making the last pass on Jiangdong, whether it is surrender or war!" After that, he turned his head to look at Li Tieniu and said in a deep voice, "How many bamboo pipes are there?" ”

"I don't know this little one," Li Tieniu lowered his head a little fearfully, and said hesitantly, "I saw that above the river, there are all these bamboo pipes, and I can't count them." ”

Frowning, Zhuge Liang turned to Liu Bei and said, "Lord, Liang ** Sanjiangkou and his party, I hope the lord will agree!" ”

"En" Liu Bei also understood the seriousness of the situation, nodded, and then hesitated and said, "Then if the Cao army attacks at this time."

Glancing at Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "With Yuanzhi here, why bother with the lord!" As he spoke, he looked at Xu Shu and said in a condensed voice, "Yuan Zhi." There is Lao Yuanzhi here! ”

"Where!" Xu Shu bowed humbly, and then said in a condensed voice, "Zhou Gong is not an idle person. Kong Ming should not be taken lightly! ”

"How so?" I saw Zhuge Liang's face showing a little embarrassment, and muttered, "I have heard this person for a long time!" ”

Immediately, Zhuge Liang said goodbye to Liu Bei and others, and rushed to Sanjiangkou lightly, in just two days. He had already rushed to the mouth of the Sanjiang River, that is, the place where Zhou Yu was stationed.

Presenting a prayer post outside the camp, Zhuge Liang looked around at Zhou Yu's water village, and was secretly surprised in his heart. On the small side, Zhou Yufan received a letter of worship from Zhuge Pavilion. Wei Smile Zhou Zhuge Liang deleted and invited him in! ”

After estimating a stick of incense, Zhuge Liang had come to Zhou Yushuai's tent under the leadership of the soldiers in the battalion.

Looking at Zhou Yu, who was handsome and unusually handsome, Zhuge Liang thought about it in his heart, and said, "Zhuge Liang has seen the Metropolitan Governor, the Metropolitan Governor is famous, Liang Shen has heard of it, and he went to Chaisang. But I have never seen the Grand Governor, and I am deeply sorry! ”

I saw Zhou Yu put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Zhuge Liang, and got up to greet him, "Hehe." Wolong Zhuge Kongming, Yu has also been admired for a long time. I'm glad to see you today, I'm glad I'm glad to be there, sir, please take a seat! ”

"Thank you, Grand Duke!" Zhuge Liang thanked him, sat on the seat, looked at the tea served by the soldiers in the camp, and was silent, on the other hand, Zhou Yu also bowed his head and drank tea without saying a word.

After waiting for a full cup of tea, Zhou Yu glanced at Zhuge Liang, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and said with a smile, "The great sage who was on the list of ministers at the beginning, came to my camp today to cultivate his spirits and cultivate his qi?" ”

"Where, Liang is naturally not as good as the Grand Dudu" A little embarrassed and bitterly laughed, Zhuge Liang hesitated and said, "I'm just thinking about it." When to say it is not to say! ”

This guy! Zhou Yu was a little funny, raised his hand and said, "Say it when you say it, don't say it if you don't say it!" You are such a wise man, and you do not understand what to say and what not to say. Or did you think that Yu was idle all day long, so she talked to me to relieve her boredom? ”

glanced at Zhou Yu deeply. Zhuge Liang thought about it, raised his hand and said, "Okay, dare to ask the Metropolitan Governor, but have you seen Cao Jun's war book?" ”

"War book?" Zhou Yu smiled slightly, pointed to the dozens of bamboo pipes in the corner of the tent, and said with a smile. "Is that what you are talking about, sir?"

"Exactly!" Zhuge Liang nodded, and said in a condensed voice, "Dare to ask the Metropolitan Governor, but the Metropolitan Governor has seen it?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Yu nodded.

"What about the Metropolitan Governor?"

"What do you mean?"

Frowning, Zhuge Liang said with a straight face, "Cao Jun is pressing forward step by step, unless you and I join forces, we are invincible." From the beginning of our lord to Xinye, I have been fighting against Cao Jun. Although he was unable to do so, he never neglected in the slightest. On the other hand, the noble army, to the two families joined forces, did nothing, followed Cai Mao's example and watched the persecution of Cao's army"

"Emulate Cai Mao?" Zhou Yu's eyebrows twitched. said lightly, "Mr. is saying that my Jiangdong will surrender without a fight?" ”

"I didn't say that," Zhuge Liang smiled in his heart and said in a low voice, "But I thought that since you and I joined forces to fight against Cao." Naturally, it must be put into action, otherwise wouldn't joining forces be empty words and meaningless, and most of the governors think it's not? ”

It seems peaceful, but in fact it is sharp,,

Glancing at Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu nodded and stroked his palms and smiled, "Hehe, what Mr. said is very good, but Mr. is afraid that he has forgotten, if it weren't for my Jiangdong Shiyang Taishou to send troops to rescue, how could Uncle Liu Huang be able to get out of that Situ and arrive in Jiangxia?" ”

Suddenly, Zhuge Liang's face froze, speechless.

"Okay" Looking at Zhuge Liang speechless, Zhou Yu smiled knowingly, and then said with a straight face. That's the end of the polite remarks. What does Mr. want me to do in Jiangdong, please tell me the truth! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, most of the governors are serious." Zhuge Liang arched his hand, and Zhengse said, "I just saw Cao Jun's tricks and worried about Jiangdong Jun's heart." Do you want to come to find out, but seeing that the Metropolitan Governor is so confident, he is obviously thinking too much! ”

"Heh" Regarding Zhuge Liang's politeness, Zhou Yu smiled faintly, got up and said in amazement, "That Situ is not to disturb the hearts of our Jiangdong army, but to force our army to fight with it, sir." The ancients said, "Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend." The same is true in the use of troops, why is the Cao army stationed in Hanyang and Wulin, but it is just to take into account our Jiangdong naval army, I don't know the details of our army, I don't know the combat strength of our army, that's why it's so,

If I fight with it, Cao Jun will know the combat strength of our army, and I can think about countermeasures from the truth. After the war, our army was in the light, and Cao Jun was in the dark, "Yu originally planned in his heart. If you can't defeat Cao's army in one battle, then try not to expose the strength of our army as much as possible, obviously, that lord will not allow it,"

"It turns out that Rudan" Zhuge Liang nodded.

Indeed, if the hole cards have not been revealed, they are always played more than the ones on the surface, which are more taken into account. The ancients knew themselves and knew that they would not be defeated in a hundred battles. In fact, for generals who are good at fighting, knowing oneself and knowing the other is just a premise, if you can't be prepared to estimate the difference in strength between the enemy and us, then how can you talk about using troops to resist the enemy?

The same is true now, for Cao Jun, Liu Bei and Liu He's soldiers and horses in Jiangxia and Xiakou are no longer a cause for concern, and the only thing they can take into account is the Jiangdong Navy that has not shown its strength, even if the Cao army has hundreds of thousands of people, Jiang Zhe does not dare to move troops easily.

However, if the strength of the Jiangdong Navy is exposed. Even if the strength is strong, Jiang Zhe can prescribe the right medicine and make countermeasures.

Integrating the power of the seven states, how can it not be worth the reason of just one Jiangdong?

"What is the Governor going to do?" Zhuge Lianghu asked.

"Hmm" sighed slightly, Zhou Yu said intently, "I don't want to fight with him just like that." However, the lord obviously will not let me get my wish, if I don't fight, I'm afraid that in a few days, there will also be these bamboo pipes down the river, saying that I can't fight in Jiangdong, so it will be more tricky at that time.

Arching his hand, Zhuge Liang asked hesitantly, "What does the Grand Governor mean?"

"Fight!" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, and he said sonorously, "If he wants to fight, I will fight!" What is Jiangdong afraid of?! ”

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Zhuge Liang was reassured, and he also knew that now dealing with Cao Bing, Jiangxia and Xiakou soldiers and horses was really isolated and helpless. If Jiangdong doesn't intervene, I'm afraid I'm waiting for the lord Liu Bei. There is only one way to lose!

"Since the Metropolitan Governor has made up his mind, and he can use the place below, please give the Metropolitan Governor an order!"

"Oh?" Zhou Yu glanced at Zhuge Liang with a little playfulness, and Ye Yu said, "Then how about asking the Jiangxia Navy to explore the strength of Cai Mao's Navy first?" ”

"Huh?" Zhuge Liang's face froze.

"Hehehe," Zhou Yu chuckled and walked out of the tent. said with a smile, "But it's a joke, you don't have to take it seriously!" With that, he shouted outside the tent, "Order the generals in the camp, prepare the warship, and follow me to meet the Cao army's sailors!" ”

"No!" The off-the-books soldiers should make peace.

Immediately, there seemed to be a bit of a commotion in the camp,

"Brothers, the Metropolitan Governor has ordered the Cao army to be armed!"

"Finally ordered? Brothers, prepare your warships, and let those northern barbarians see the strength of our Jiangdong naval army! ”

"Drink!"

Abandon the concubine!

Standing at Zhou Yushuai's tent, Zhuge Liang looked at the chaos in the camp in amazement, and looked at the Jiangdong soldiers. I was secretly surprised.

Facing battle without fear, the enemy is strong but not chaotic, it can be described as elite

It seems that this week Gongjin does have a hand,,

On July 9, Cao Cao ordered Cai Mao to command the Jingzhou Navy and invited Zhou Yu to fight at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Xiangjiang River.

The next day, the affairs of the navy were handed over to Cai Mao. Cao Cao and Jiang Zhe and his party climbed high in the camp and looked.

At the time of estimation, Cao Cao suddenly saw a fleet of ships coming slowly on the river, headed by several buildings, echoing from the side, and there were countless people who walked through the river.

"Shouyi" stared at the river, Cao Cao smiled and asked, "In your opinion, who wins and who loses in this battle?" ”

"Don't you know in Mengde's heart?" Jiang Zhe said with a smile.

"Knowing is knowing" said a sentence, Cao Cao frowned and looked at the Jiangdong boat, and then said with a smile. "I just hope that I won't lose too badly, otherwise, even if I am here to keep righteousness, I will punish Cai Mao heavily!"

In Jiang Zhe's speechless eyes, Xun You said comfortingly, "Lord, Jiangdong Water Army, good at water warfare. And the Jingzhou Navy has not practiced for a long time, and in just one or two months of training, how can it compare to Jiangdong's hard training day after day? ”

Looking at Cao Cao and Xun You talking there, Sima Yi on the other side laughed secretly, didn't you discuss it early? One is to explore the details of the Jiangdong Naval Army, and the other is to supervise the Jingzhou Naval Army under his command.

"It's coming!" Jia Xu beside Jiang Zhe whispered, telling Cao Cao and the others to come back to their senses and stare intently

Bureau.

And at the same time. Shi Yang is too guarded by Lu Xun. and the general Lu Meng also climbed high on the shore and looked at the river; On the other hand, Liu Bei and others also climbed high on the shore at Xiakou to look at it.

"It's a temptation!" Calmly looking at Cao Jun who was blocking the river, Zhou Yu sighed lightly. To be honest, he really didn't want to expose the strength of the Jiangdong Naval Army.

"When the battle is the battle, let the Cao army see the strength of my Jiangdong naval army, today, we will definitely defeat the Cao army!"

"Drink!"

"Order Tai Shici, Jiang Qin, and Ling Cao, act according to the plan!"

"No!"

On the other hand, Cai Mao also ordered the formation to be laid out.

After touching a stick of incense, the war drums of the two sides sounded. Cai Mao and Zhou Yu immediately drove the warship to pull over

Army.

As soon as the drums stopped, the two armies were already approaching, and a general on the ship headed by the Jiangdong Army shouted, "I am Tai Shici, who will fight me?" ”

Cai Mao, who heard his voice, frowned. Immediately ordered his brother Cai Zhong to drive away.

The two ships approached, and Tai Shi Ci stood in the bow of the boat. Drawing a bow and an arrow, an arrow was shot, and just listening to the sound of the bowstring, Cai Zhong had already been hit by an arrow in his left arm.

"Archery! Sister arrow! Holding his left arm, Cai Zhong shouted angrily.

Cao Jun's arrows rained down, but he saw Tai Shici standing on the bow of the ship with a bow in one hand, and every time he pulled the bow, one Cao soldier was killed.

"Shoot him!" Feeling the sharp pain coming from his left arm, Cai Zhong shouted angrily.

Seeing Cai Zhong's order, Cao Bing on the boat fired a volley at Tai Shici, but was flashed by the other party one by one.

Perverse! With a light snort, he pinched an arrow that came from his hand, and Tai Shici aimed at Cai Zhong and squinted.

"Oops!" Over there, Cai Zhong saw Tai Shi Ci raising his bow, and he had secretly said that something was wrong, so he hurriedly lowered his head, only to hear a ding, and the helmet on his head was actually a volley that was hit, and at the same time, Cai Zhongzhi felt as if he had eaten a heavy stick on his head, and his eyes were full of gold stars.

"Hey!" Snorting proudly, Tai Shi Ci shouted, "Rush over and disrupt the enemy formation!" ”

"Drink!"

With Taishi Ciren's order, several large ships accompanied by countless small boats tore through the formation of Cai Mao's naval army and went straight into the hinterland.

At the same time, on the left side of Cao Jun, Jiang Qin and Ling Cao also killed, and they actually regarded Cai Mao's army as nothing.

"Block! Obstruct! Cai Mao was shocked and angry. shouted loudly, "The herald ordered the Chinese army to retreat slightly, and the ships on the left and right wings stepped forward to surround the Jiangdong ships." But all the Jiangdong soldiers will be shot to death by random arrows! ”

"No!"

"Want to surround me?" After a while, Tai Shici, Jiang Qin, and Ling Cao marched side by side, and suddenly saw the formation of Cai Mao's navy change, and sneered in his heart.

"It's going to rush!" Tai Shi Ci shouted.

"Understood!" Jiang Qin and Ling Cao from the other two boats replied with a smile.

The words fell, and each of the three led a fleet. Breaking through Cai Mao's encirclement in three directions, it was almost vertical and horizontal on the river, and no one could stop it.

Cai Mao took care of this and the other, and Zhou Yu led many ships to help in the battle, and Cao's army was finally defeated. There are countless people who have been hit by arrows.

This battle went straight from the time to the time. After all, it ended with Zhou Yu.

"Sure enough, I lost" In the water race, Cao Cao shook his head in disappointment and said, "Not only did I lose, but I was so embarrassed to lose!" ”

"Huh!" For Cao Cao's disappointed tone. Jiang Zhe laughed, then looked at the river, and said softly, "The Jiangdong Navy is indeed powerful, since it is known, it is useless to fight again, it is better to Ming Jin, and then think about countermeasures!" ”

"What Shouyi said is extreme" Looking at Cao Cao, who was a little depressed, Xun You persuaded in a low voice, "My lord." Order the gold! ”

"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded, turned back to the soldiers beside him and shouted, "Mingjin!" ”

"No!"

Immediately, in the water village of Cao Jun in Hanyang, there was a sound of gold.

When Jiang Shang Cai Mao heard this, his face was even more embarrassed, and he waved his hand and shouted, "Withdraw the army!" Withdrawal! ”

On this side, Cai Mao ordered the withdrawal of the army, and Zhou Yu naturally would not let this go. The opportunity was about to chase straight and chase after the victory, but suddenly saw the Hanyang Water Village in the distance. A group of warships slowly came out of the water village"

Thinking about the gains and losses, Zhou Yu finally ordered Ming Jin, collected the boat on the river, and walked to the bow of the boat. He shouted with a smile, "Gong Cao, Zhou Yu was invited to fight." Win a small game, retire for the time being! ”

"So arrogant" is damned! Hearing Zhou Yu's ridicule, Cao Cao suddenly had a little anger on his face, and shouted angrily, "Zhou Yu'er." Don't be presumptuous, wait for me to capture you one day."

In the strange eyes of the people beside him, Xun You whispered, "Lord, he can't hear it."

I saw a flash of embarrassment on Cao Cao's face.

Subsequently, Cai Mao was defeated and came back to his life, and was scolded by Cao Cao, who had lost face, and Cai Mao, who was scolding, trembled in his heart, and secretly glanced at Jiang Zhe not far away, and his eyes signaled, and he bowed his head and was silent.

The "lord" seemed to be a little overwhelmed, Xun You coughed, and said in a low voice, "Today's battle, we were originally to explore the details of the Jiangdong Naval Army, and it was under the command of General Cai Mao and Zhou Yu, and there was almost no difference in strength" However, our army has 400,000 people, how can it be compared with more than 100,000 in Jiangdong District? After that, Xun You secretly gestured to Cao Cao with his eyes.

Cao Cao then remembered that Jiang Zhe was on the side. Even if you don't give Cai Mao face, you always have to give your own strategist and face to your friends, right?

After calming down, Cao Cao glanced at Cai Mao and said in a deep voice, "Get up!" I didn't expect to be defeated in this battle, but I hate that you have been so embarrassed by defeat

"Yes, yes" Cai Mao lowered her head and replied resignedly.

"Then as the commander of the water army" Glancing at Jiang Zhe, Cao Cao frowned and said, "Cai Mao, do you have an idea in your heart on how to defeat the Jiangdong water army?" ”

Secretly glancing at Jiang Zhe, Cai Mao clenched his fists and said respectfully, "Just by the lord's orders!" ”

"You!" Cao Cao was angry and said slightly angrily, "You are the commander of the water army. Or am I the commander of the navy? Jingzhou Water Army, if you don't practice for a long time, you will give ** practice, Qing and Xu Zhijun, don't practice water warfare. Familiarize him with water warfare!

Periods. Go and tell your uncle. I just want you to defeat the Jiangdong Navy for me, at all costs! ”

"No!" Cai Mao clenched his fists to receive the order, and then said hesitantly, "If this is the case, you can make Qing and Xu Jun in the middle, and Jingzhou Jun outside." Teach every day. can be used. ”

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded, and said in a deep voice, since you are the governor of the navy, you can do it cheaply. Don't worry about me! With that, Cao Cao looked at Jiang Zhe. Gan Gan said, "Shouyi, this matter will be handed over to you!" ”

"Yes!" Jiang Zhe arched his hand.

Distribution. Jiang Zhe and Cai Mao walked out of Cao Cao's tent and went to order Xiahoudun, Cao Hong and other generals to merge their soldiers and horses into the naval army, and asked Cai Mao to drill in order to Jiangdong.

On the way, Cai Mao wiped her cold sweat and said, "If it weren't for my uncle, I'm afraid I would have been,"

The corner of his eyes twitched, Jiang Zhe glanced at Cai Mao helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Dejia is just suffering for others today, Meng De also knows in his heart, and he will not blame you too much, if you want to blame, blame that Zhou Yu, if he didn't make a provocation, you don't have to suffer so much!" ”

"Zhou Yu!" Cai Mao secretly hated in his heart, to be honest, he was scolded by Cao Cao just now, and he was really worried that he would be killed, but seeing that Jiang Zhe had never intervened, he was secretly relieved in his heart.

In fact, it depends on the relationship between Jiang Zhe and Cai Mao. Cao Cao will not do anything to Cai Mao, he is angry that Zhou Yu is so unscrupulous and provocative, and Cai Mao, who has high hopes, is so embarrassed to defeat under the same force, how can Cao Cao wave his army eastward?

"You don't have to worry too much" Seeing Cai Mao bow her head and be silent, Jiang Zhe said with relief, "See you today." Jiangdong Navy is indeed difficult to deal with, you can do it slowly, don't be impatient"

"Yes!" Cai Mao respectfully hugged her fists.

While talking, the two of them had already arrived outside Jiang Zhe's tent. And Xiahoudun, Cao Hong and other generals were also on standby outside the tent.

"Yuan Rang!" Jiang Zhe called.

"The last general!" Xiahou dun hugged his fists and saluted, and the generals behind him also hugged their fists and saluted, "The last general has seen Situ!" ”

"No need to be polite!" Jiang Zhe chuckled and waved his hand, invited everyone into the account, and informed the generals of Cao Cao's order.

Attributed to this man's command?

After listening to Jiang Zhe's words, the generals of the Cao army looked at Cai Mao, their faces were a little unswerving, and then they looked at Xiahou Yu, thinking that he would say something. They really overestimated Xiahoudun.

Just as the rush was ordered by Cao Cao personally, Xiahoudun had to obey it, not to mention that it was relayed by Jiang Zhe. How dare Xiahoudun say "No." Word?

In the eyes of the generals with great hope. Xiahoudun clenched his fists and said, "Yes." The last will obey! ”

The rest of the generals saw that Xiahou was still like this, so they had to reluctantly come over and salute Cai Mao, "The last general, I've seen Cai Dudu!" ”

Cai Mao didn't dare to do it.

"Okay" Waving his hand, Jiang Zhe said with a straight face, "At present, the first priority of our army is to defeat the Jiangdong Naval Army, no matter what, it is all for the purpose in turn. If someone disturbs, they should be cut to settle the army's heart, and Yuan Rang! ”

The "end" will be the end! Hearing Jiang Zhe's call, Xiahou Dun's ears jumped.

"Lao Yuan has bothered a lot to help Cai Dudu train the navy and take Jiangdong as soon as possible!"

"Yes" ah no, Situ Yan is serious, and he will do his best! ”

"Good!" Nodding, Jiang Zhe raised his hand to look at Cai Mao and said, "Dejia, Ming Yen will lead his troops and horses to come to you to restore your life, you are good at training the navy." Don't slack off,"

"Yes! Uncle! ”

"Yuan Rang,"

"The last will understand!"

"Okay, you can go first!"

Hold your fists, and the generals will even withdraw from the tent.

"General Xiahou" Cai Mao hesitated and called Xiahoudun, but saw Xiahoudun smiling. patted Cai Mao on the shoulder and said, "What." Want to invite me for a drink again? ”

"Eh" Cai Mao was stunned, and then said respectfully, "If General Xiahou appreciates his face, the end will be natural."

"The last general, you are the governor now, and we are also under your command, let's go, drink and go, and talk less nonsense!"

"Yes. General Xiahou please! ”

"It seems that from tomorrow, Situ will order a ban on alcohol, and I won't get drunk today!"

"Coffee... Yes, yes! ”

Is it really too early?

Lying on the couch in his tent, Jiang Zhe lit an oil lamp and looked at the tent on the top.

I didn't expect that the water war would be so troublesome......

"Situ!"

Just as Jiang Zhe was distracted, a person suddenly entered the tent, and Jiang Zhe turned his head to look, it was Zhao Gong.

Turning over and sitting up, Jiang Zhe said suspiciously, "What's the matter with Zilong?" ”

Hugging his fists at Jiang Zhe, Zhao Yun said in a low voice. "The lord asks Situ to come over and discuss important matters!"

"Discuss something important?" Jiang Zhe was stunned. I just came back from Mengde.

But how to say it, since Cao Cao is here, please come. Jiang Zhe naturally didn't want to go.

When he came to Cao Cao's tent with Zhao Yun, Jiang Zhe saw that Xun You was already sitting in the tent. Surprised, he asked Cao Cao, "Mengde, what's the matter?" ”

"Shouyi is here" Cao Cao, who was talking to Xun You, turned around and glanced at Jiang Zhe, frowned and said. "Fang Cai, Miao Cai sent a letter to this point, saying that Zhang Lu was defeated and took Yizhou, Zhang Baiqi captured Hanzhong, and is wantonly reaconciling grain and grass, I am afraid that there is an intention to send troops!"

"Zhang Baiqi?" Jiang Zhe was stunned and said in surprise, "So fast? ”

"yes!" Cao Cao frowned and said in amazement, "I originally thought that it would be difficult for him to win Hanzhong this year. But he didn't want to" shook his head, Cao Cao said worriedly, "If Zhang Baiqi intervenes in this battle, I'm afraid our army will be rude to fight on both sides,"

Standing up and nodding to Jiang Zhe, Xun You pondered and said, "A few days ago, Fengxiao sent a battle report, saying that the soldiers under his command were not good at water warfare, and were blocked by Jiangdong general Gan Ning on the north bank of the Yangtze River. In your opinion, what do we want to do right now? ”

"This." Faced with such a problem, Jiang Zhe was also speechless.

After all, Zhang Baiqi is not an easy guy to deal with.

But the strange thing is, how could he be lucky enough to take Hanzhong so quickly?

Weird!
