Chapter 134: This Battle Is Inevitable!
13th year of Jian'an, November.
After going around and around for nearly a month, the Anti-Cao Alliance, with Liu Bei as the leader and Sun Quan as the support, finally became a reality.
Sun Quan successively handed over the household registration, official seals, and official offices of the four cities of Yixian (Huanggang), Exian (Ezhou), Qichun, and Xiapheasant (Yangxin), and gave them a one-time gift (attention!). Liu Bei had 800 warships, 3,000 elite soldiers, and 70,000 grains.
At this time, Chen Feng's idea of a different alliance strategy can be regarded as achieved.
He didn't have to think about what to say to Zhou Yu later, and he didn't have to think about how to deal with Cheng Pu and Huang Gai...... and even the relationship between Gan Ning and others.
There is only one thing he has to do.
Unite all the forces that can be unified, and dare not go south within ten years of directly beating Cao Cao in the Chibi area!
If this can be done, all history will be changed.
Because, as long as he wins this battle, Liu Bei's fame will be terrifying to the point of making people tremble.
At that time, not only will Liu Ba, who had been said before, come to take refuge, but also persuade the four counties of Jingnan.
The talents that will come with it will be as many as the carp crossing the river.
For example, Pang Tong and others, who helped Sun Quan subdue Zhou Yu in the early stage, will all defect to Liu Bei after this battle.
Of course, if he can't, he will be miserable.
Not only will they lose all their titles, but they will also be removed from the Chan family and ...... Liu Bei estimates that it will be over, and even if he takes refuge in Cao Cao at that time, it is estimated that he will not want to come out in a few decades.
It can be said that this is a shocking gamble.
After winning, not only can Liu Bei gain a lot of things, but Chen Feng can also completely establish himself through the harvest of this battle...... 9 to 5 spirit.
At that time, there is a high probability that he will not have to deal with things anymore.
Because there will be countless talents available under his command.
For me, the latter is a great thing. ’
Chen Feng couldn't help but be happy in his heart.
"Report!"
"Cao's army has reached the west of Wulin!"
However, before Chen Feng could continue to imagine a bright future, Cao Cao's army had already reached the west of Wulin.
"Why not surrender?"
After arranging for personnel to be stationed, Cao Cao sent a letter of persuasion to Chibi.
Of course, this letter was not heeded at all.
Because everyone knows that if it was before, there might still be a little room for relaxation.
But after the alliance is reached, this battle is no longer possible.
If he really didn't fight, Sun Quan would immediately be able to use the excuse that Liu Bei was a turtle with a shrunken head, so as to win people's hearts.
In addition, from now on, Liu Bei will also lose the fame, reputation, and popularity accumulated over the years...... And so on and so forth.
Therefore, if this battle is not fought, all the princes in the world will regard Liu Bei as the eighth king of the turtle.
Since then, Liu Bei has no room to rise.
Rise in a different way?
That's farting.
After all, no one will give him a second chance.
Liu Zhang? Gongsun Gong? Zhang Lu? Shixie? Ma Chao (Ma Teng's father has arrived in Yecheng), Han Sui and others are impossible!
They will only think that Liu Bei is weak and can be bullied!
What's more, Cao Cao is a tiger and wolf, even if Liu Bei wants to retreat, where can he retreat?
Really ran to Cangwu to defect to Wu Ju?
Let's not talk about whether Wu Ju dares to accept it, even if he really dares to accept it, is there still room for Liu Bei in this world?
So at this moment, not to mention that Cao Cao has an army of hundreds of thousands, he is really the most powerful prince in the world, that is, he has a nuclear bomb in his hand...... Liu Bei must also fight!
If you don't fight, you die.
From then on, everyone in the world will look down on Liu Bei.
"Chen Feng listens to orders!"
Liu Bei naturally understood this truth very well, so before Cao Cao's army arrived, he had already handed over most of the rights to Chen Feng.
And by this time, he had made a real appointment...... An appointment that handed over all the command of the army to Chen Feng at one time.
"Everything...... It's all handed over to Ziji. ”
He solemnly handed over the male and female double-strand sword to Chen Feng's hand: "No matter how Ziji wants to fight, do it...... In the meantime, even I will do your bidding! ”
"Meet, take the order!"
Chen Feng took the male and female double-strand sword from Liu Bei's hand, and after glancing at the people around him, he began to give orders.
"Wei Yan listened to the order and ordered you to immediately lead a naval army of 5,000 on the Yangtze River to stand by in case Cao Cao's army suddenly crossed the river!"
"Whoa!"
"Zhao Yun listened to the order and ordered you to ...... immediately"
……
Probably because he stood on the core layer early, after Chen Feng gave orders one by one, everything started in an orderly manner.
During this period, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not dare to ask for battle, but just waited silently.
Of course, although the two of them resisted the idea of asking for battle, Chen Feng still explained to the two.
"The main purpose of this first battle is to let Cao Cao take the army as the mainstay, if he can do some lake things (iron lock chain)...... Ahem, that's not to say. ”
"That couldn't be better."
"So, it's not yet time for the two generals to appear, and if they really appear, they will scare him."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Guan Yu and said with a smile: "Especially General Guan, the naval army you command is the most terrifying of all, if Cao Cao is scared to change his mind, it will not be good." ”
It's a pity that although Chen Feng made a joke, Guan and Zhang didn't mean to joke with him at all at this time.
"Obey the orders of the military advisor!"
They just said yes in unison, and they didn't see anything else in mind.
Of course, this is certainly only the surface.
In fact, the two of them had complained a little before, saying that it was better to let Wei Yan send troops than to let them go directly with a team (five hundred people).
However, because Chen Feng had planned everyone's escape path (from Fancheng to Jingling), his prestige was not low, so although they complained, they did not say it.
After Chen Feng's explanation, they naturally had no other ideas.
"Report!"
"Strategist."
"Well, what's wrong?"
After Chen Feng smiled and nodded to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he looked at the scouts who came to deliver the news.
"General Wei Yan has news...... There are ships on the surface of the water, according to the number of ships, at least more than 8,000! ”
"More than eight thousand?"
It seems that the person I was waiting for should have arrived. ’
When Chen Feng heard this number, he subconsciously muttered twice before he let people pass the order: "Tell Wei Yan and let him stop these people at all costs!" ”
Obviously, the sailors who came here were most likely transferred from the area of Nanjun...... That is, the armies that Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others once mastered.
It can be described as the elite of the world (water division).
However, although these people were elites, Chen Feng was not flustered at all, otherwise, he would not have directly issued a desperate price to Wei Yan.
Because he knew very well that Cao Cao had not yet commanded these armies for the time being.
And the morale of these armies has not yet settled down for the time being.
At this time, even if they are elite, they can only exert less than three or four percent of their strength.
In other words, as long as he defeats them and pays a certain price, Cao Cao will lose trust in these people after that.
At that time, Cao Cao will also follow the old path of history...... Led to the north of the river, converging with the army, and the ship docked in Ulin.
"However, this situation in history was finally fought by Mei Zhoulang, and Wei Yan's words seem to be a little insufficient......
"Someone!"
After thinking about it, Chen Feng immediately issued the second order: "Let Zhao Yun go to help, no matter what, stop these people...... Also, let them take a closer look at what the morale of the army on the opposite side is! ”
"Whoa!"
Several figures will be given the order, and they will each take different paths after that, and finally each will deliver this order.
This behavior is naturally to ensure that orders can be conveyed accurately on the battlefield.
'The next words, perhaps, ......'
Sending off those herald scouts, Chen Feng couldn't help but start thinking about the next step.
Although he has already received the full story of the Battle of Chibi, and he doesn't think there is much of a problem, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen.
So, he had to think carefully, and preferably not make mistakes in everything.
Otherwise, it will be a big defeat.
However, while he was thinking deeply, Zhang Fei's writhing voice came over.
"The ...... of the Advisor"
At this time, Zhang Fei, like a little girl, kneaded her armor and stomach, and her face was full of embarrassment.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Feng turned around suspiciously and asked, "Could it be that Yide wants to go to the battlefield?" ”
"It's still the military advisor who understands me!"
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, since the military advisor said so, does it mean that I can go to the battlefield......
"Wait!"
Chen Feng raised the male and female double-strand sword in his hand, rolled his eyes, and said solemnly: "I have explained this matter before, and I don't want to explain it a second time!" ”
"The military advisor is still angry?!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fei suddenly stopped fighting, but looked at Chen Feng with a surprised face.
Yes, he had always thought that Chen Feng had no temper.
It wasn't until Zhang Fei realized just now that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.
Chen Feng is not only angry, but his face when he is angry is quite unsightly.
Anyway, after he saw it, he was faintly frightened in his heart.
Of course, that's just a little bit.
It's more about respect and ...... Curious.
“……”
Chen Feng didn't want to deal with Zhang Fei at all, so he walked to Liu Bei's side and said in a low voice: "At the moment, Cao Cao did use Jingzhou's navy, but he shouldn't trust these people too much, and this is also our opportunity...... As long as Wen Chang and Zilong can win, it will be much easier to fight in the future. ”
"In other words, it is enough for Xuande Gong to wait for the news of the big victory."
"Ziji arranges it."
Liu Bei didn't doubt this, and after nodding, he suddenly thought of something, and coughed: "Ahem...... That, me, can I do something? ”
"......" Chen Feng was dumbfounded.
It was only at this moment that he finally understood why Zhang Fei was like that.
With such a brother here, are you still afraid that you won't be able to get out of your reckless younger brother?
