Chapter 284: Liu Bei Enters Yizhou
Cao Cao went south, he had the confidence to win, in fact, this time not only to seek Jiangdong, Cao Cao even had the intention of attacking Jingxiang.
Once Jiangdong and Jingxiang are taken, it can be said that the general trend of the world has been decided.
However, it was not until the ship was speeding on the river that Cao Cao realized that things did not seem to be so easy.
When the sailors trained in the already gentle rivers galloped on the river, it was not as easy as they imagined, and many soldiers were not adaptable.
If it is fine in the big boats, once it is on those small boats, it is often only three quarters of an hour to vomit and diarrhea, and the strength is sore, and it is impossible to fight at all.
In the face of such a situation, even though Cao Cao is indeed ambitious, he is also helpless.
But at this time, Cao Cao thought of a way to connect the ship with the bow and tail of the ship, so that he was not afraid of wind and waves.
There are many people who care about this war, and Wei Tao is naturally among them, when he heard about it, Wei Tao's eyes widened.
This battle is no longer in Chibi, and at this time, I have not heard that Pang Tong came from Jiangdong to offer a series of schemes, but Wei Tao heard such a result.
This is exactly the serial plan, and it is the serial plan that Cao Cao himself came up with.
"It's a great plan!"
But what made Wei Tao even more unexpected was that both Zhou Yu and Xun You agreed with this very much.
"Gongjin, Gongda, then Cao Mengde connects the boat from end to end, although it can make the small boat like a big boat, driving on the river like walking on the ground, but it also loses flexibility. And the river fought. First attack with fire. Fire together. There is no way to avoid it, there is no way to escape, so how should it be? ”
Wei Tao said that he was not familiar with water warfare, but Wei Tao, who was a man in two lives, really didn't know the magic of water warfare, and naturally he also understood a lot, and at this time, it was true.
"Hehe......"
Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile lightly when he heard Wei Tao's words.
"The lord doesn't know anything. Not to mention that the battle on the river should be led by the big ship. Although the big ships have the disadvantage of not being flexible enough, the combat strength of the two armies still depends on which side has more big ships. Although these serial ships are not really big ships, they have no advantage of big ships, but they have the disadvantage of not being easy to turn around, but Cao Cao's army has more numbers, so it can give full play to its advantages, and the so-called advantages are also! ”
"What Gong Jin said is good, and although the river is the first to use fire, it is precisely because of this that the river is the first to fire prevention. If you shoot from a distance with a rocket, although you may lose several ships. But with Cao Jun's people, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. ”
Xun You also followed the words.
Wei Tao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, in fact, it was not that Wei Tao was easily stunned, but because this was inconsistent with the history that Wei Tao knew.
According to Wei Tao's previous life, it was precisely because Cao Cao fell for the serial scheme that Zhou Yu burned all the hundreds of thousands of troops in Chibi.
Although this is no longer in Chibi, and there is no Zhou Yu, since Cao Cao also used this chain method, it is impossible for Zhou Yu and others not to see the pros and cons of this.
But after Wei Tao thought about it carefully, he found that what Zhou Yu and Xun You said was true, and after further recalling, Wei Tao remembered something even more.
It was that Zhou Yu who carried out a series of tricks after Cao Cao, and more importantly, he performed a bitter meat plan, what was the result of the bitter meat plan, that is, Huang Gai could drive a fire full of dry firewood and other fire-causing things close to Cao Cao's chain of warships.
Without this, how can rockets alone easily burn down the ships of hundreds of thousands of troops?
When that 'east wind' is also extremely important, if there is no this, Cao Cao may also send people to stop it in time.
But the Dongwu people have lived in Jiangdong for a long time, how do they not know when there will be a southeast wind?
It's just that the bitter meat trick is exquisitely used.
"So, or did Cao Mengde have the upper hand?"
After Wei Tao thought it clearly, he just smiled indifferently, and then asked about it, but at the same time, there was also a curiosity in his heart, wondering if Na Lu Su would use bitter meat.
"Now that Cao Mengde occupies the upstream river, and there is a series of warships, if there is no miracle strategy, I am afraid that Cao Mengde will win in the end."
Xun You nodded affirmatively, without much hesitation.
"Since ancient times, it has been down the river, the reason why Jiangdong has taken advantage of the geographical advantage, but it is its water army to make profits, and after all, it has been in the river for a long time, so it naturally knows the risk of the river, so it is natural to take advantage of it."
Xun You himself is a rare adviser, and what he said is naturally reasonable, even Wei Tao nodded slightly.
After all, the history of the previous life is already the history of the previous life, and it is not corroborated by the present, since Wei Tao came to this era, many things have changed, even if Cao Cao is likely to win, it is not surprising.
Wei Tao set his eyes on Zhou Yu, who was thinking about it slightly, not knowing what his opinion was.
"Gongjin, what do you think? Is Cao Mengde likely to win? ”
"Huh...... Lord, I want to be one more. That Lu Zijing also fought with him in Jiujiang, although we also got a chance to recover, but we also gave Jiujiang to Sun Ce. Speaking of which, Sun Ce gained more, at least he could quickly take Jiujiang into his hands after he became the master of Jiujiang, instead of killing the family as a deterrent. ”
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and immediately said his thoughts.
"Such a wise person may not know Cao Cao's strategy? If there is no miracle, how can he dare to resist Cao Cao for the governor of the navy? ”
"Haha...... In that case, then we just wait and see what kind of tricks Lu Su has in mind! ”
Although the characters have changed and the locations are different, Wei Tao is also more curious about this battle, whether Cao Mengde is like the defeat in history and allows him to turn from prosperity to decline, or can he pacify Jiangdong in one fell swoop and let himself be able to defend against foreign enemies with confidence?
That's an interesting guess!
"By the way, the lord has another matter."
At this time, Xun You said again, or this was the business that Xun You came to find Wei Tao.
"Before, under Yuan Shao's account, Liu Bei, who was personally named the emperor's uncle by His Majesty, had already found out his whereabouts. Since his plot against Yuan Shao failed, he has disappeared, and it is not until recently that someone has discovered that he is already in Yizhou and has taken refuge in that Liu Zhang. And because of his identity as a clan member of the Han family, he is very important to Liu Zhang, and he entrusts all the big and small affairs to him, so it can be said that he is now popular in Yizhou."
Finding Liu Bei's whereabouts is a task that Wei Tao has always explained, but Wei Tao has always asked him to find Jing Xiang.
This is because Wei Tao knows that Liu Bei's turning point can be said to be in the land of Jingxiang, and Liu Bei began to move towards glory.
But Wei Tao never thought that Liu Bei would directly enter Yizhou, and listening to Xun You's posture, it seemed that Liu Bei was quite unaware.
"Gongda, what the hell is it? Could it be that Liu Bei can still hold the power of Yizhou? ”
Wei Tao chuckled, originally just wanted to make things easier, but he didn't expect that at this time, Xun You nodded with a wry smile.
"The lord doesn't know anything, and he doesn't know what Liu Bei is capable of, but now the situation is indeed the case. Although Yizhou is still under Liu Zhang's command on the surface, as far as I know, it has actually been hollowed out by him, but because he is also a member of the Han family, Liu Bei is not good at taking it directly, and he still has an empty name for it. ”
Hearing Xun Yu's words, Wei Tao had to sigh, Liu Bei is really Liu Bei, no matter what his ability or fate, he is going to be the lord of Yizhou after all, but I don't know if that 'Wolong' will be next to him again.
Things in the world will never be moved by personal will.
Just when Wei Tao was surprised by Sun Cao's battle and admired Liu Bei, the battle in Jiangdong had already begun.
In fact, as many people imagined, it could still be skillfully used to attack Cao's side, but as soon as Cao Cao's serial plan came out, Jiangdong was helpless.
At this time, in addition to Lu Su being able to always remain calm, even those Jiangdong ministers, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others were also unstable.
They all came to find Lu Su.
I have to say that there are many talents in Jiangdong, and many people have analyzed the weaknesses of Cao Cao's set, but unfortunately because Cao Cao occupied the upstream first, even with the help of the southeast wind, it makes people feel that it is difficult to act.
At this time, Huang Gai saw Lu Su in private and put forward a bitter plan, and he could do it himself.
"It's not okay to do it publicly, it's not feasible."
Where did he think that in the face of Huang Gai's proposal, Lu Su shook his head, and then said without waiting for Huang Gai to refute.
"Not to mention that the public reply is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, Cao Cao will not believe it, just with my temperament, Cao Cao will be suspicious. What's more, between the rivers, the news is not clear, just based on rumors, it is even more difficult to make Cao Cao believe. It is rumored that Cao Cao once said: I would rather be responsible for the world, and don't teach the world to bear me. Such a person, as long as there is a suspicion, will be killed, this plan is not feasible. ”
At this time, Cao Cao didn't send any death to deceive, Lu Su explained casually, and Huang Gai understood.
"So what to do? It is impossible to let Cao Cao occupy my Jiangdong territory. After three generations of struggle of the lord and father, this Jiangdong will be defeated, if it is so, it will be handed over, it is impossible! ”
Huang Gai's temperament is also quite anxious, plus he is an old minister in Jiangdong, and his qualifications are even higher than Lu Su, so he doesn't have so many scruples when he speaks, and what he says is almost pointing at Lu Su and scolding.
"Don't say that you want to surrender to Cao Cao, if you want to surrender, you can step over my Huang Gai's corpse first!"
"Why do you think so? How can I, Lu Zijing, be that kind of person? ”‘
Lu Su's temperament is indeed excellent, and in the face of Huang Gai's questioning, he only smiled slightly bitterly, so it can be understood why he said that it could not be a bitter trick, but anyone who knows about it will know that there is fraud in it.
"As for Cao Jun's policy, although it is not expected by me, it will be greatly beneficial to our army, please rest assured."
(Thank God?) Ye No's reward, the evaluation vote of the prodigal soldier, and thank you for the strong support of other book friends, thank you! (To be continued......)
