Xiangyang City, Liu Biao's orphan Liu Cong was sent by Cao Cao to Qingzhou to be the assassin history, although nominally it is a flat tone, but in fact, Qingzhou is a place where Cao Cao has been operating for a long time, Liu Cong in the past, if you can govern the place with peace of mind, but if you want to make the wind and rain, you don't have that ability, and now the assassin's mansion in Xiangyang has become Cao Cao's temporary residence.

"Liu Bei's lost dog, there is nothing to be afraid of, but this Zhuo is arrogant, sitting in Jiangdong, there is the Yangtze River moat, Jiangdong 100,000 soldiers, if he joins forces with Liu Bei, it is not easy to deal with." Cao Cao sat on the wide seat, drinking with the generals, and shook his head.

"Prime Minister, forgive him for being arrogant and not having the guts, if he doesn't come, if he dares to come and spread wild, the end will chop off his head and make him unable to come and go." Cao Cao's side, Xu Chu shouted.

"Meat talk, haha." Cao Cao shook his head, and a sigh flashed in his eyes: "He was originally born in a yellow scarf, it stands to reason that it is difficult to do anything in this troubled world, but this person has repeatedly created miracles, when the three brothers of the Zhang family were killed one after another, the yellow scarf was destroyed, he took a yellow scarf, from Jizhou all the way to Henan, and from Henan to Qingzhou, not only was not exterminated, but the more the fight became louder, and finally crossed the Yangtze River three times, Zhu Jun was thrown into the Yangtze River by him in that battle and drowned, and then occupied Wu County, and handed the table to the imperial court. ”

Cao Cao sighed: "This person has a very good grasp of the fighter and the timing, by the Yangtze River moat, his people are quite good at fighting, the court was not able to pursue at that time, he took the initiative to surrender, the first emperor allowed him to the position of Yangzhou assassin history, and then the world of heroes to discuss Dong Zhuo, he turned into a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, shined under the tiger prison, defeated Dong Zhuo's fierce generals, and even Lu Bu did not want to be an enemy. ”

Looking at the generals sitting down, they were all a little depressed when they heard the words. Cao Cao said with a smile: "But things have changed, I haven't heard of any action by Zhuo Ao over the years, and even Liu Bei has beaten Jiangdong, so I think it's all here, so I don't need to worry." ”

"What the prime minister said is right." Cheng Yu nodded, and said with a smile: "Nearly twenty years of comfortable life." Even if he was a hero in the past, I am afraid that the ambition in his chest has long been worn out, and our army is now in full swing, successively defeating Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, these princes, why fear him a yellow turban thief twenty years ago? ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and the previous dullness was swept away.

"Prime Minister, the minister is good at water warfare. If we can get his help in this battle, our army will definitely be strengthened. Below, a person stood up and bowed to Cao Cao.

"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this: "I don't know what Ziyi said, who is it?" ”

Jiang Gan smiled and said: "This person's name is Zhou Yu, his father was Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi during the Ling Emperor period, lived in Luzhou, and had a strategy. There is the posture of Wang Zuo. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but brighten: "But that song is wrong." Zhou Lang Gu's beautiful Zhou Lang? ”

"The prime minister also knows this person?" Jiang Gan laughed when he heard this.

"Just hearing his name, but with a sonorous side, there is Lao Ziyi to go on this trip and invite this great talent for Lonely!" Cao Cao laughed.

The prime minister can rest assured, the minister knows that Zhuo Ao has been invited several times, but he has been shirked by Gong Jin. If you want to come to Gongjin, you don't want to be a member of the office, so if you want to do this, you will invite Gongjin to come. Jiang Gan said confidently.

Jiang Gan packed up at the moment and went to Lujiang to invite Zhou Yu not to mention Jiangdong. At the moment, it is to meet the upcoming big war, and it is busy.

"The lord, the talent of Gong Jin, the victory is ten times, now that the war is imminent, it is the time to employ people, why don't the lord go to it in person?" In the Chaisang camp, Lu Su accompanied Zhuo Ao to walk by the river and said with a smile.

"Zhou Lang's name is like thunder, but unfortunately, it can't be used by me." Zhuo Ao shook his head and smiled.

"Oh?" Lu Su looked at Zhuo Ao in surprise: "Why is this?" ”

"The reason is simple." Zhuo Ao looked at Lu Su and said, "Zijing thinks, whose world is this world?" ”

"This ......" Lu Su couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this, if someone asked him twenty years ago, the world would naturally be the world of the Han family, but now, things have changed, the majesty of the Han family is no longer there, the princes have risen together, and the heroes are competing for the deer, it is difficult to say this again, but he understood the meaning of Zhuo Ao's words, frowned and said: "The lord is talking about the family, but Yuan Si and Boyan are all people of the family, and now they are ......."

"It's different." Zhuo Ao shook his head and said: "There are many kinds of scholars, the four families in Jiangdong may be like thunder in Jiangdong, but if they are placed in the world, they can only be regarded as a wealthy family, they have too strong local atmosphere, and there is no one to take refuge in except me, so they can only work for me, but Zhou Lang is different, although the Zhou family is not the fourth and third dukes, but there are many famous people in the clan, this kind of scholar is the real scholar class, for them, no matter how brilliant I am now, but the thief word at the beginning, but it is a dirt that can not be washed off for a lifetime, It is impossible for such a person to work for me. ”

When Lu Su heard this, he couldn't help but be silent, he knew that what Zhuo Ao said was the truth, people like Zhou Yu had a very firm sense of identity in their bones, and it was by no means something that others could control, if Zhuo Ao did not have the identity of a yellow turban thief, even if it was just an ordinary small household, with the courage that Zhuo Ao had shown over the years, even if Zhuo Ao did not invite, Zhou Yu might directly recommend himself, but unfortunately, there are some things that cannot be changed.

"Although I have only met him once, I can feel his heart, in that case, why should I surrender my identity to do such an impossible thing?" Zhuo Ao laughed.

Liu Bei was able to look at the thatched house three times and invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain, not because Zhuge Liang was moved by Liu Bei's sincerity, but because Zhuge Liang had already decided to assist Liu Bei, as for the three visits to the thatched house, it was just to get Liu Bei's attention and raise his own value, if Zhuge Liang really didn't want to assist Liu Bei, don't say three times, it is useless to have ten times more.

"In troubled times, the lord chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the lord, like this kind of top strategist, with a strong sense of autonomy, they often have their own choices before they go out of the mountain."

Lu Su hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhuo Ao and said, "Lord, such a talent, even if it can't be used by me, it shouldn't be ......."

Zhuo Ao unexpectedly turned his head and glanced at Lu Su, Lu Su was uncomfortable, Zhuo Ao suddenly laughed and said: "It is said that Lu Zijing is honest, but now it seems that the person who says you are honest is the real stupid, and you don't know that you have been deceived." ”

Lu Su said proudly: "I am ashamed, but since I am planning for the Lord, there are some things, even if I go against my will, I have to say it." ”

"That's a good point." Zhuo Ao patted Lu Su on the shoulder and said, "But as a strategist, does Zi Jing know what the most important thing is to plan?" ”

"Seek the world?" Lu Su wondered.

"Wrong." Zhuo Ao said: "Excellent strategists, you should seek your own body first, you can't even protect yourself, what's the use of more strategies, so an excellent strategist, at least you should know how to save your life, in the past two years, I have sent no less than ten people to assassinate Zhou Yu, but they are all gone, Zhou Lang is very close to his life." ”

Lu Su felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, but he didn't expect Zhuo Ao to start planning a long time ago, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "If this person is used by Cao Cao, I am afraid that he will be a great enemy in the future." ”

"The enemy?" Zhuo Ao smiled, and looked forward to Zhou Yu's appearance in his heart, without Zhou Yu's battle of Chibi, he always felt that something was missing, shook his head and said: "Don't talk about this, come, look at the new trebuchet developed by the craftsman's battalion, which can be equipped on the building ship, with this, our army's water warfare ability can be at least doubled, and Cao Cao will definitely be given a big surprise when the time comes." ”

"Lord, I don't know how sure you are in this battle?" Lu Su didn't care about these, he knew that Jiangdong's ordnance has always been the best in the world, from when Zhuo Ao had not taken over Jiangdong, now Zhuo Ao has taken over Jiangdong, and he is very interested in the improvement of ordnance, and even set up a craftsman camp to study how to improve, he said that if he can double it, he will definitely be able to double it, and he is more concerned about the outcome of this battle.

"Zijing asked, I must have an opinion in my heart, I might as well talk about it." Zhuo Ao said as he walked.

"This ......" Lu Su thought for a while and said: "Our army has the advantage, in the water war, Cao Cao's army is mostly northern soldiers, and he doesn't know water warfare, but now Jingzhou surrendered without a battle, not only let Cao Cao have 280,000 more Jingzhou water troops, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, but also quite familiar with water warfare, to make up for the shortcomings of Cao Jun, with the two of them, I am afraid that the victory or defeat is between five or five." ”

Cai Mao Zhang Yun is not an incompetent person, he has been leading the Jingzhou Navy all these years, if he talks about water warfare, even if he is not a famous general in the world, he is by no means handsome, otherwise in the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu will not make the effort to get rid of these two people.

"In addition......" Lu Su hesitated for a moment and said: "Cao Cao came with a big victory this time, and he brought a million armor under his command, although the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, but if we only use the situation, I am afraid that our army's chances of victory will be reduced by two percent." ”

Zhuo Ao shook his head with a smile and said, "It's rare, Zijing also left me three points of thin noodles." ”

Lu Su shook his head and said: "It's not that Su flatters the lord, but the lord has been famous all over the world, and every battle will be won, so that the heroes of the world dare not look at it directly, although it is rumored that the lord is old and no longer brave, but in terms of Su, the lord of today is more terrible than back then, if there is no lord, the chance of victory for our army is probably only one percent, but with the lord, Su dares to boldly infer it." ”

"Be cautious enough." Zhuo Ao nodded, looked at the mighty Yangtze River and said, "Zijing knows, why did I set up the water village here?" ”

Lu Su shook his head: "This place is adjacent to Chaisang, but the terrain is higher, this year somehow, the water level of the Yangtze River is lower than in previous years, as far as the water war is concerned, this place is not suitable for the village, Su is stupid, I don't know what the lord means?" ”

"You'll know in March." Zhuo Ao didn't answer, and continued to take Lu Su to the direction of the craftsman's camp and said: "If we count according to the strength of the army, our chances of winning are indeed not high, but if the war is such a thing, if it is just a competition of troops, Cao Cao will not win Yuan Shao in Guandu, and our opponent today should be Yuan Shao instead of Cao ****." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Su's eyes, but he didn't ask, he knew that Zhuo Ao must have a plan to break Cao in his heart. (To be continued.) )
