It has been half a month since Zhou Yu's army confronted Cao's army in Wulin in Chibi, and since Zhang Yun led his army to storm Shuizhai and defeated it half a month ago, the two sides have not even had the least temptation.

At this time, Zhou Yu, Qiao Ren, Lu Su, Lu Meng and others were discussing in the camp.

Qiao Ren said: "This Cao Ying is now in a dilemma. If Cao Ying takes Jingzhou, he will leave a few generals to guard Jingzhou, and then return to the Central Plains to solve Ma Chao and Han Sui in Guanzhong. Then take advantage of the situation to attack Shudi, and finally go down the river to our army is still difficult to deal with. But he gave up his strengths and weaknesses, and led the Jingzhou naval army to the south, if he was in Jiangling, but he confronted our army and Wulin. The terrain of Wulin is flat, the water vapor spreads, and for a long time, Cao Ying's elite northern army can not get sick, but the army has no fighting spirit and no combat power. ”

Lu Meng also said: "That's true, Cao Jun can worry about our army, but Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are two. Although the two of them are not very capable, they have been in charge of the naval army for many years and are well versed in the tactics of the naval army. And Meng said to watch Cao Jun's water village in the past few days, and its village secretly combines the art of war, and it is difficult to attack. ”

Zhou Yu also said: "Indeed, although Cai Mao and the others are not enterprising enough, they are more than successful. The Wulin Cao army was mainly based on Jingzhou, and even if the northern army was sick, it was in vain that it could not attack the enemy's water village. Moreover, Cao Ying's territory is vast, and it will cost our army a loss! ”

At this time, a soldier came to report that Zhuge Liang had arrived. I saw Zhuge Liang, who was dressed in white, calmly walked in, but the feather fan was not brought anymore. Zhuge Liang's feather fan has been satirized by Qiao Ren countless times, wouldn't it be asking for trouble if he brought it again.

Zhou Yu saw Zhuge Liang entering, and said: "Cao Ying of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty has already obtained seven or eight, and now I am confronting him on the river, and it will last for a long time, and I am afraid that there will be a shortage of food and grass." And Yu got the information, saying that all the grain and grass of Cao's army were in Jutie Mountain, and Mr. was familiar with astronomy and geography, and he had been in Jingbei for a long time, so he wanted to ask Mr. to lead the army to Jutie Mountain to rob grain. ”

Zhuge Liang didn't want to think about it and said: "What's so difficult about this, Liang will go immediately!" After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

After he couldn't see Zhuge Liang's figure, Lu Su asked, "What does the Metropolitan Governor mean at this time?" Liu Bei has no more than 20,000 soldiers, and the only ones who can really be mobilized are his own 5,000 Yuzhou soldiers and Guan Yu's 3,000 sailors, and Liu Qi and Liu Pan's 10,000 troops are difficult to command. However, Jutie Mountain is the key object of Cao Jun's guard, and the number must not be less than 10,000. This..."

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su and sighed: "Zhuge Liang is a great talent, far above my Jiangdong ministers, if he is made to assist Liu Bei, he will become my Jiangdong henchman." I wanted to kill Kong Ming, but I was afraid of making people laugh, so I borrowed Cao Ying's hand to kill him to prevent future ears. It's a pity, it's a pity, such a great talent can't be used by Bo Fu, but instead votes for Liu Xuande, who has nothing to offer. ”

Zhou Yu is not a jealous person, but for the sake of Jiangdong's future, he has to get rid of Zhuge Liang, but he didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would not be so easy to be pitted.

Looking at Zhou Yu, who was sighing, Qiao Ren said: "Dadu Governor, Zhuge Liang used to say that when he was in Longzhong, he often compared himself to Le Yi and Guan Zhong, and both of them helped people in troubled times and won fame with their own strength. And I, Jiangdong Wenchen and good generals, Zhuge Liang has great talents, it is difficult to serve the lord and become an official and the power can be greater than that of the governor. On the other hand, Liu Bei was at the end of his rope, and Zhuge Liang could not give up his power wholeheartedly. Therefore, he Zhuge Liang will not take refuge in the lord, and Ziyu will not put his eggs in one basket as an official to my Jiangdong overseer general, and his family name is in the family. ”

Not to mention the few people who discussed Zhuge Liang in the account, Lu Su hurriedly chased Zhuge Liang after hearing Zhou Yu's confession, wanting to see if he knew Zhou Yu's plan. As a staunch advocate of the Sun-Liu Alliance, Lu Su was very opposed to Zhou Yu's efforts to get rid of Zhuge Liang before the Great War.

When Lu Su saw Zhuge Liang's figure, he was calm, commanding Liu Beijun, who had less than a thousand people, to cross the river. Lu Su thought that he was really going to rob Cao Ying's grain and grass, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Sir, can you succeed in going here?" ”

Zhuge Liang didn't look at Lu Su either, but said: "My water battles, foot battles, horse battles, and car battles are all in their own way. After saying that, he took out a feather fan out of nowhere and smiled.

Lu Su wondered why it was on me again, and asked, "What is the only ability between me and the governor!" ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he glanced at Lu Su and said: "You don't hear that there are nursery rhymes in Jiangdong, so they sing like this, 'Fulu guards Rao Zijing, and there is Zhou Lang in the Linjiang water battle.'" Conspiracy and trickery came out of Zi Ming, and he relied on Zi Ming to charge into battle. 'Brother Zijing can also check the road on the road, as for the governor of Zhou, only the water war. ”

Lu Su didn't feel a good feeling when he heard this, I came to help you, but you said that I could only check the road. However, Lu Su's good cultivation did not make him attack on the spot, but returned to the account to report to Zhou Yu.

Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Su's departing back, with apology and nervousness in his eyes. It seems that Zhuge Liang is not as calm as he looks, Lu Su is the only person in Eastern Wu who really supports the Sun-Liu Alliance, and he takes care of Liu Bei and him, Zhuge Liang still feels guilty about such a gentleman's tricks, and more importantly, Zhuge Liang provokes him with Zhou Yu's inability to fight on land, if he succeeds, he is fine, if he fails, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang will have to personally lead his troops to rob the grain.

In the big tent, Lu Su conveyed Zhuge Liang's words to Zhou Yu as they were, and Zhou Yu's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he recovered after half a ring, and said with a smile: "Ziyan! It seems that this Mr. Kong Ming still has a bad opinion of you! ”

Qiao Ren was also pondering this conspiracy and trickery, and said with a smile: "Why haven't we heard such a nursery rhyme when we have been in Jiangdong for a long time. Ren only heard that there is a 'Mei Zhou Lang, pretty words.' The gentleman's style Lu Zijing, read the history books hard to see Ziming, this is the Eastern Wu Siying's only! After saying that, he spread his palms and laughed.

At this time, Lu Meng also scolded with a smile: "What a thick-skinned Qiao Ziyan, even if you are thick-skinned, don't bring us." ”

At this time, Zhou Yu's face turned solemn and said: "Zhuge Liang has seen the plan to kill people with a knife, but he can't let him rob the grain, and he still needs Ziming to take a trip." ”

"Whoa!" Lu Meng suddenly received the order.

At this time, Lu Su wanted to tell Zhuge Liang the news, but was stopped by Qiao Ren. "Zijing, you have the style of a gentleman, but don't be teased by others! Zhuge Liang's move is clearly a method of agitation, Zijing, you have been used. ”

Lu Su is such a smart person, he understands it when he thinks about it. Thinking of this, a gentleman like Rao is Lu Su also gritted his teeth. "Ziyan rest assured, in the future, Su will be in good spirits, so as not to be deceived by Zhuge Liang."

When Qiao Ren saw this scene, he was very satisfied, to get rid of Zhuge Liang Lu Su was the only obstacle, and now that Lu Su understood Zhuge Liang's intentions, this plan was half successful.

-------------------------------------------------Boundary-------------------------------------------------------

As mentioned earlier, Lü Meng went to rob grain but did not want Cao's army to store grain and grass farther north after the defeat in the first battle. Thinking about it, Cao Ying has loved robbing grain all his life, and he will definitely pay attention to guarding against his own grain channel.

In the evening of this day, Xu Sheng, a guard captain patrolling the riverside, was bored biting a weed, lying down in the grass and sleeping soundly, when suddenly the soldier next to him shouted loudly: "General, wake up quickly." There is a case. ”

"Oh!" Xu Sheng yawned and got up, and saw a flat boat crossing the river from the north, there were only three people on the boat, a boatman and a scholar, and a middle-aged man with a strange appearance, eight feet tall, and extremely handsome.

Although the lineup of people who came was strange, Xu Sheng still didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly sent soldiers to surround the man, and said, "You are Cao Ying's annihilation, why are you here?" ”

The middle-aged man was not in a hurry, and his bearing was calm, and he said: "A certain family is a friend of Gongjin's classmates, and I am here to meet today." ”
