In the Chibi camp in the south of the Yangtze River, the news of Jiang Gan's death has not yet been transmitted back at this time. Although Zhou Yu knew the mystery of Jiang Gan's serial scheme, how to set the fire was also a difficult problem. And Qiao Ren knew in his heart that today's Jiangdong soldiers were 200,000, and Zhou Yu was also leading 80,000 troops to confront Cao Cao on the rivers and lakes, and the gap between the two sides was not big, and it was really impossible to deceive people if Huang Gai was asked to surrender, so how to set fire became a key.

Today, Zhuge Liang was also invited to the tent, although Zhou Yu had the intention to kill him, but he also attached importance to his talent, and Zhuge Liang's mind was still needed at this time. Zhou Yu asked, "What is Mr. Zhuge so clever to break through Cao Ying!" ”

Zhuge Liang is now as long as there is Qiao Ren where there will be no feather fan, and now it is about to snow and will not bring it, Zhuge Liang said: "If you want to quickly fight the Cao army, you must first break its water camp, but Cai Mao Zhang Yun built the water village, deep water warfare exquisite, even if the two are dead, but Yu Ban is also a general who chooses to only defend and not attack, even if the governor gathers 50,000 people to attack, even if it is captured, it will be heavy casualties." What's more, at that time, there will still be Cao Cao's elite of the northern army living in the dry village, and the elite will fight this elite soldier with a miserable victory. Therefore, if you want to defeat Cao Cao quickly, there is no chance of winning the main attack, and you must use clever strategies"

Zhou Yu secretly said nonsense, but asked on his lips: "Does Mr. have a plan?" ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at Qiao Ren, who was speechless on the side, and secretly wondered in his heart that Pang Tong was afraid that Jiang Gan had already been removed, and said, "The governor has already made up his mind, why ask me." ”

Of course, Zhou Yu had a plan to attack with fire, but he still wanted to give Zhuge Liang a try, so he said: "So why don't you and I write the strategy in the palm of our hands, how about it?" Ziyan, you are here too! ”

Qiao Ren and Zhuge Liang didn't answer when they heard this, and silently picked up the brush and wrote on the palm of their hands. The three of them put their fists together, and agreed to spread their palms together.

"One, two, three!"

After Zhou Yu shouted, he spread out his hand as promised, but saw the word "fire" written on his palm. And Zhuge Liang also has a fire word in his hand, and Qiao Ren of course also writes the word fire attack.

"Haha!" Zhou Yu laughed loudly and said: "The hero sees the same thing!" Mr. Zhuge is sure to attack by fire, but how to attack still needs Mr. to strategize. ”

Zhuge Liang didn't shirk either, and after listening to Zhou Yu explain his strategy in detail, he pondered for a moment and said: "The Metropolitan Governor is a fan of the authorities!" The Jiangdong Navy has many brave and good generals, while the Cao army does not dare to come out. As long as the governor sends more sailors to harass today, the Cao army will not be suspicious over time, and when the time comes, when the time comes, the southeast wind will be found, and the brave people will be selected to prepare more fire oil and wood to go straight to the Cao army. ”

Zhou Yu and Qiao Ren listened to Zhuge Liang's words, and were stunned, it was so simple, why didn't they think of it before, was it really the authorities who were obsessed with bystanders? In fact, Zhou Yu and Qiao Ren have different positions, and from the perspective of Dongwu, of course they are not willing to risk the lives of their soldiers, but Zhuge Liang is different, the more Dongwu dies, the happier he is.

On this day, Cao Cao was originally full of interest to inspect the chain warship, and saw that the northern soldiers had become accustomed to the river waves, and he was greatly relieved. Unexpectedly, I saw a soldier who was standing guard but a gust of river wind blew and fell directly into the river.

"What's going on?" Cao Cao asked

Cheng Yu on the side had no choice but to reply: "Back to the lord, the soldiers of the Northern Army are often infected with diseases, and many people are easy to faint when the river wind blows, and if they are unlucky, they will fall into the river." ”

Cao Cao didn't have the heart to inspect the navy again, and immediately prepared to return to the camp, but at this time, he saw a sudden movement on the river, and after a while, he saw a group of Wu warships coming over.

"Hurry, give the order to go to the battle quickly." Cao Cao was in a hurry to drink the order, and then rode his horse and whipped, and hurried to the water village to command. At this time, Yu Ban had already discovered that the enemy was coming, but he saw that the Wu army that came was only more than twenty or thirty ships.

However, although the scale of the Wu army that came this time was not large, only more than 20 fighting ships and a few warships, its formation was very different from usual.

When Cao Jun approached, he noticed that the Wu people had actually divided those fighting ships into a team of ten, and there was no one of those behemoth-like building ships, and there was only one general on board.

Cao Cao in the water village saw that this formation was also unclear, so Yu Ban on the side said: "Prime Minister, why don't we go out of the village to fight, and the enemy is only about twenty ships?" ”

"Wen Ze doesn't need to, Zhou Yu is trying to ambush our army. Order the armies to be careful and impose martial law. Cao Cao waved his hand and vetoed the request to fight.

Wu Jun seemed to be only to harass the enemy this time, and only then approached a section, and after approaching the range of Cao Jun's Shuizhai bow and crossbow, he changed direction and paraded sideways from Cao Jun's Shuizhai to show off his might, and then slowly returned south.

And this time it was Ling Cao, who had a good relationship with Qiao Ren, who came out to harass him, and the order he received was to run away as soon as he saw Cao Jun leaving the village, and Cao Cao did not send troops to fight, but it was exactly what he wanted. After wandering for half an hour, Ling Cao laughed and led the army back.

Seeing the arrogant appearance of the Wu people, the generals of the Cao army kept asking for a lesson to teach the Wu army, but Cao Cao glanced sideways, and the generals were speechless, in fact, they were just talking, and it was a joke to really ask these landlubbers who couldn't know how to teach the Wu army a lesson.

In the next few days, Zhou Yu sent people to mock Cao Jun in front of the village every day, and Cao Jun was not to be outdone after a few days, and sent some ships out. It's just that they were unlucky, and they encountered Gan Ning's Jinfan Army, the sailors of Eastern Wu have been on the river for nearly ten years, and the speed of the battleship is not as fast as Cao's army, and the warships sent by Cao Cao not only did not catch up with Gan Ning, but were also shot by Gan Ning to kill a small colonel.

Over time, Cao Jun didn't care much about Wu Jun, who came to wander around every day, and even lacked the minimum vigilance. And Cao Jun is not without wise and resourceful people, Jia Xu once admonished: "Wu Jun's move is probably to confuse our army, so that it can attack the camp or attack by fire." "But Cao Cao said that our army's water village is strong, and now it is a harsh winter, and the north wind is in full swing, if Zhou Yu attacks with fire, he will definitely suffer from it."

And Jia Xu also knew in his heart that all this was Cao Cao's excuse, and the real reason was that the northern army was sick and painful now, and it was impossible for them to guard against the Wu army every day in the harsh winter.

In the big tent of the Wu army, Qiao Ren and Zhou Yu were talking about a game, and a soldier came to report that Cao Jun had ignored the harassed Wu Jun for five days, and Zhou Yu's confident look on his face was natural.

Looking at Zhou Yu's confident face, Qiao Ren sighed.

Zhou Yu could hear that his sigh had another deep meaning, so he said: "Everything is ready, I don't know what Ziyan has to sigh about." ”

Qiao Ren pointed to the sky and said, "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!" ”
