311 Confrontation across the river

"The big river flows eastward, the stars in the sky are in the Beidou, let's go, you have me, I have everything! ......The soldiers had already learned the song, and immediately sang along, and everyone sang it with pride and tears.

Tens of thousands of people sang together, this momentum is absolutely earth-shattering ghosts and gods, after singing a song, many people simply cried, Wang Baoyu solemnly bowed down and said: "Brothers, I still say the same thing, don't treat me as the governor of Chengdu, as a good brother, may we live and die together, and fight against Cao Bing together!" ”

"Live and die together, fight Cao Bing together!" The following cries are getting louder and louder each time.

Zhou Yu was completely dumbfounded, originally Wang Baoyu proposed to carry out this ceremony, but he wanted to take the opportunity to give Wang Baoyu a dismount, so that Wang Baoyu could distinguish between the big and small kings, and know how many bowls of dry rice he was eating.

But what Zhou Yu didn't expect at all was that Wang Baoyu, who seemed to be unruly, could have such a great appeal. In just a few words, let alone the soldiers below, even if you listen to it, your blood is boiling. Zhou Yu was secretly frightened, if this person can't be used by me, I must get rid of it, otherwise it will definitely become a big trouble.

After the ceremony dispersed, Zhou Yu immediately organized a wartime meeting to discuss the next military action.

Wang Baoyu is really not used to wearing armor, his body is too tight and uncomfortable, and he is heavy and stupid, he is so tired and panting after walking a few steps, but he still took it off and gave it to his good brother Fan Jinqiang.

Fan Jinqiang regarded it as a treasure and couldn't put it down, thinking that if she wore this armor neatly and appeared in front of Diao Chan, would there be approval and worship in her eyes?

Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Cheng Pu, Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu, the five-person group got together again, and Zhou Yu opened his mouth and asked: "Everyone, now that Cao Bing has retreated, I don't know the movement, what should I do?" ”

"Cao Bing retreated, I am afraid that he will come back, or let the soldiers go deep into the ditch and prepare to meet the fierce enemy again." Lu Su said.

"The veteran thinks that Cao Bing is defeated like this, his sharpness has been lost, and he will definitely not come to Sanjiangkou again, and the defense line along the river is indispensable." Cheng Pu raised a different opinion.

"What does Mr. Kong Ming think about this?" Zhou Yu asked politely.

"It is really inappropriate for the soldiers to gather at the mouth of the three rivers, if Cao Cao supports the north bank of the army and crosses the river from north to south, then Jiangdong is in danger!" Zhuge Liang and Cheng Pu have similar opinions.

Zhou Yu was silent, he also felt that Cheng Pu and Zhuge Liang were very reasonable, and after a while, he turned his head and asked Wang Baoyu: "Deputy Governor Wang, what do you think?" ”

"My opinion is the same as that of Mr. Kong Ming and Cheng seniors, the army cannot stay here all the time, and must return along the road from which it came. In addition, when we came, the heavens had already made it clear that the place where the thunder struck should be the main battlefield of the future war. Wang Baoyu said seriously.

"It makes sense, but Cao Cao is scheming, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not raid Sanjiangkou again, so how to deal with it at the right time?" Zhou Yu asked.

"This is simple, send people to keep an eye on it at all times, and at the same time build a beacon tower, if Cao Bing has any movement, you can use the beacon fire to transmit the signal, and use Kong Ming lanterns at night, and then the army will have time to make adjustments."

"What you said is reasonable, at the mouth of the three rivers, you can leave a team of men and horses to guard, and the rest of the men and horses are scattered, using the beacon tower as a transmission order, echoing each other, and ready to meet Cao Bing at any time." Zhou Yu made the final decision.

The next day, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai led 5,000 soldiers and horses, which were left at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and the remaining four soldiers and horses set off on the whole line to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Since the thunder split out of Chibi, Zhou Yu has become a little superstitious, he believed Wang Baoyu's words, and turned the main battlefield from Sanjiangkou to Chibi. On that cliff, Zhou Yu set up his own camp, and Wang Baoyu's camp was next to his camp, but Zhuge Liang, who had a personality, still asked for a small boat and continued to live by the river.

Two flowers bloomed, one for each table, but it was said that Cao Cao led hundreds of thousands of troops to advance by land and water, all the way to the north bank of the Yangtze River, Xiakou was empty, Cao Cao unceremoniously occupied this place, and Huang Yueying and others had already been transferred to Jiangxia City across the river.

The defeated Cai Mao Zhang Yun kowtowed to Cao Cao as soon as he saw him, and Cao Cao didn't expect that he could be defeated so badly, and the main reason was that Cai Mao ventured into the light enemy.

Although Cao Cao was angry, he still tried his best to keep a calm tone and asked Cai Mao: "General Cai, I think that you have always commanded the Jingzhou naval army and are familiar with water warfare, how can you not be defeated by Zhou Yu in Jiangdong?" ”

"It's all the fault of the last general, and I am willing to punish it by the Lord!" Cai Mao said with sweat on her forehead.

"General Cai, although he will tell everything in his heart." Cao Cao waved his hand and said, because he obviously read a trace of unwillingness from Cai Mao's expression.

"Lord, if it is not the last general's quibble, this defeat is really because the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou are not accustomed to water warfare, and the hull of the ship shakes and vomits, and there is no combat power at all." Cai Mao said with a sad face, in fact, this is also the truth, it is precisely because of Cao Cao's suspicion that he did not let himself bring his old department, but gave the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou, and being unfamiliar with the military situation also brought great difficulty to the war.

Cao Cao listened to Cai Mao's words, and even regretted his original decision, but he didn't expect to raise 100,000 troops, and he was defeated at Sanjiangkou.

"General Cai, I think what you said is reasonable, but except for the original soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, the rest of the soldiers and horses are all from the north, but what should I do?" Cao Cao said.

Cai Mao was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that Cao Cao didn't want to hold him accountable, so he hurriedly said: "Lord, now that the army is approaching the river, don't attack Jiangdong first, the last general is willing to ask for his life to train the northern soldiers and make them familiar with water warfare." ”

Cao Cao hesitated a little and asked, "If that's the case, I'm afraid it will take a little more time, right?" ”

"Please rest assured, the soldiers can be familiar with the water in three days, and they can walk on the warship as if they were on the ground in seven days, and in time, although they are not as senior sailors, but with the main soldiers, they can also offset some shortcomings!" Cai Mao said with an oath.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Then it will be annoying to the general." ”

To say that Cao Cao's success is that he always self-examines himself, and never lightly lets his generals take responsibility, so he is deeply popular, Cai Mao Sanjiangkou was defeated, not only was he not held accountable, but he had more power, which made Cai Mao die to Cao Cao from then on, and he had no second heart.

Although Cao Cao was not ready to march into Jiangdong immediately, the necessary formation was still necessary, just as Zhou Yu and others had just gained a foothold in Chibi, they saw that Cao Cao's army had already approached the north bank, and the marching camp stretched for dozens of miles, and the lights were bright in the night, which made people feel cold.
