Zhang Xi pretended to "write" for a few days, and then handed over some of the training methods about standing in the army, physical training, and juju in the army that he wrote improvised to Zhou Yu after Zhuge Liang's processing and polishing.

After Zhou Yu saw it, he suddenly felt like a treasure.

The training methods of these years are basically passed on by word of mouth, although Zhou Yu knows some, but he is not good at it, after returning from Exian County, Zhou Yu also tried to train by himself for a few months, but the effect was not good.

But now that Zhang Xi provided this "Art of War", it seems that there is something to say, and some things coincide with what Zhou Yu knows and thinks, obviously it is not Zhang Xi who casually wrote something to fool Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu really didn't think that Zhang Xi would hand over a "Art of War" to himself, and he also knew the importance of the method of military training in these years, so he just wanted Zhang Xi to help train Jiangdong soldiers.

But who knew that Zhang Xi actually gave him a surprise, and directly handed over the method of military training to himself, saying that it was for the sake of the alliance between the two families, and Liu Bei's sincerity.

Liu Bei's sincerity is worth a pound Zhou Yu didn't want to know, he only knew that with this method of military training, the combat strength of the Jiangdong Army would be on a higher level.

Therefore, Zhou Yu hurriedly copied a backup, and the original book was sent directly to Sun Quan for Sun Quan to keep for safekeeping.

Next. Not to mention, when Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Xi, he suddenly felt much more pleasing to the eye, and his attitude towards Zhuge Liang eased a lot.

That night, he had a verbal argument with Zhuge Liang for an hour, and although the details of the covenant were agreed upon, although each was its own master, Zhou Yu also saw Zhuge Liang's sharp words, and he also had some opinions about Zhuge Liang.

But now, Zhou Yu feels quite pleasing to the eye when he looks at Zhuge Liang.

After collecting Zhang Xi's "Art of War", Zhou Yu began to reorganize his army for war, and after more than ten days of purging the army, Zhou Yu asked Sun Quan for his resignation and sent troops to Jiangxia.

Zhou Yu's army set off, and Zhang Xi and Zhuge Liang were also in the army, so they naturally went out with the army.

At this time, Zhou Yu did not have the idea of harming Zhuge Liang or Zhang Xi, on the contrary, because of the "Art of War", Zhou Yu was very friendly to Zhang Xi and Zhuge Liang, and arranged a warship for them, the space was much larger than the boat given to Zhuge Liang before, and at the same time, he also arranged guards to protect him, and promised that when he arrived in Jiangxia, he could be replaced by Liu Beijun's own guards.

This can be regarded as Zhou Yu's reward for providing Zhang Xi with the art of war.

Zhuge Liang also laughed and said that he was blessed by Zhang Xi and could enjoy such treatment.

When the army marched to Xiakou, Liu Bei personally greeted him, set up a banquet to entertain Zhou Yu, and at the same time asked Chen to lead the Jiangxia naval army to accompany him, which was regarded as completing the provisions of the covenant.

As for Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi, they still had to go to Lukou with the army, and the people who traveled with Zhang Xi became Kou Feng and the two hundred guards led by him.

By the way, there is also little Deng Ai.

Zhang Xi didn't know how this kid got into the army and got mixed into Zhang Xi's boat, but when he saw this bastard boy, the fleet had already sailed through Shaxian.

Zhang Xi was angry and anxious.

This is going to war, not going on an outing, what is a twelve-year-old kid doing here?!

Although it is said that if this battle goes well, Zhang Xi and Zhuge Liang will not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield at all, but. What if?!

And speaking of this, Zhang Xi immediately called Kou Erha and scolded him.

As a captain of the guard, you actually let a child touch the ship. What? You know, you know it's crazy to put kids on the boat!!

Zhang Xi was half angry by Kou Feng, but it was little Deng Ai, who knelt on the ground and said something "worried that there is no one around the master to take care of", and what "entrusted by his mother to take care of the master", which made Zhang Xi feel distressed.

Look at other people's twelve-year-olds, how sensible they are.

Look at this Erha who is giggling all day long, and I feel ashamed to look at it.

And this Zhuge Liang, who is not kind, doesn't say a word and looks at his jokes on the side, and smiles. What do you mean?!

In the end, Zhang Xi could only reluctantly accept the fact that Deng Ai was mixed on the ship, let Deng Ai stay on the ship as a disciple, and then followed the army all the way to a place fifty miles outside Lukou.

Zhou Yu ordered to set up camp on the spot.

Zhang Xi didn't know much about water warfare, so he asked Zhuge Liang why Zhou Yu wanted to go down to the village in this place, is there any special benefit of this place, and what kind of tricks and tricks are suitable for actual combat? !

Zhuge Liang didn't hide his secrets, and explained it to Zhang Xi, and by the way, he also told Kou Feng and Xiao Deng Ai to listen.

"This place in Lukou was originally the place where Huang Zu guarded Jiangdong in the past, and Jiangdong knew its powerful relationship." Zhuge Liang pointed to the surface of the river and said angrily, "The surface of the Yangtze River is mostly wide, and there are only a few places where the river surface is narrow, which is suitable for using soldiers. This is the case with a section from Lukou to Chibi, only more than 200 zhang wide, Zhou Lang seized the land mouth on the south bank and forced the Cao army to garrison the north bank, which was a measure to block the road, and the Cao army could not go south without breaking the land pass. ”

"It's that simple?!" Zhang Xi asked incredulously.

Could it be that Zhou Yu's troops at Lukou were just to be able to stop Cao Cao's army on the river, so he chose a place with the narrowest terrain? !

Zhuge Liang also looked at Zhang Xi with a very strange look, and said, "Yuan Chang, marching soldiers, it is okay to be decent, and those who use strange tricks will be defeated if they don't win, and they are not in line with the way of generals. The terrain of Lukou is dangerous, and it is backed by Jiangxia and Jiangdong, which can not only block the army on the river, but also have no obstacle to the grain road. ”

Zhuge Liang half-educatedly admonished Zhang Xi, turned his head and looked at the map hanging on the cabin, and then said, "If what I expected is correct, Zhou Gongjin should be in Lukou, and then approach Wulin to the north, forcing Cao Cao to fight a decisive battle in Chibi." Our army is weak, Cao's army is strong, and we should win it quickly. If it is delayed, it will be detrimental to our army. ”

Well. So, this is a direct start to prepare for the Battle of Chibi?!

It's not right, Zhang Xi remembered that there was a play in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" called "Cao Cao of Sanjiangkou folded his troops, and the heroes will meet Jiang Ganzhong".

Of course, Zhang Xi has been in Jiangxia for a while, and he is also familiar with Jiangxia geography.

The so-called Sanjiangkou is actually next to Exian County, that is, the place where Zhang Xi originally sunk the ship to intercept the river and block the Jiangdong army, and it is also what Zhuge Liang said, a few places on the Yangtze River suitable for using troops.

Otherwise, the river is too wide, and Zhang Xi will not be able to intercept the Yangtze River even if the ship is sunk.

This place has not been captured by Jiangdong now, it is still under Liu Bei's control, and Cao Cao did not cross Liu Bei in Xiakou to fight here directly, so there is a high probability that the battle of Sanjiangkou will not happen.

But Jiang Ganzhong's plan is also a bit difficult to say.

Although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" writes the Battle of Chibi magnificently, the Battle of Chibi in history is actually not complicated at all, what is complicated is the interweaving of the previous situation, and when it comes to Chibi, it is a matter of fire.

Jiang Gan persuaded Zhou Yu to surrender to this matter, but not in the Battle of Chibi, but after Chibi, and later Jiang Gan was also impressed by Zhou Yu's demeanor, and reported to Cao Cao after going back, saying that "Zhou Gongjin is elegant and elegant, and he can't be moved by words."

If we look at the historical line, this thing does not exist at all. But in this time and space, even the "Tongue Battle Group Confucianism" has happened, although it is a bit of a strange version, but how can you guarantee that Jiang Gan's persuasion will not happen?!

You must know that the commanders of Cao Jun's naval army at this time are indeed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and the commander of Cao's naval army in history is Cao Cao himself.

Zhang Xi always felt that in this battle of Chibi, it was more likely to take the Romance Line.

However, for the time being, Zhang Xi did not dare to make a judgment easily, and after the army went down to the village at Lukou, Zhou Yu sent Gan Ning as the vanguard of the front to challenge the Cao army water village on the north bank.

In the face of this kind of door-to-door provocation, Cao Cao, who had just finished writing a poem, was satisfied, and immediately ordered Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to lead the naval army to battle.

Seriously, Zhang Xi doesn't know what the true level of Cai Mao's leadership is, but depending on his virtue of running around when he was killed by Gan Ning, it is guessed that this product's water warfare skills may not be as good as Chen's.

At the beginning of the war in Koto, a victory was won.

Although this victory was not a pain in the bones for Cao's army, at most it was a loss of a little drizzle of soldiers, but for Jiangdong, it was a good morale boost.

Therefore, that night, Zhou Yu held a banquet to entertain the generals, and invited Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi to attend together.

This is not a small victory to be complacent, and Zhou Yu is also a way to boost the morale of the army.

After all, the Cao army is on the other side, and the soldiers can see with their own eyes how many Cao troops there are, and they can also compare how insufficient their own military strength is.

But Zhou Yu still has his own worries.

This battle, although it was won, proved that relying only on the Jingzhou Navy was definitely not the opponent of the Jiangdong Navy on the river.

But the problem is that if you want to break Cao, it's really not easy to do.

One is that there are too many Cao soldiers, and on the north bank of Wulin alone, the camp stretches for more than ten miles.

The other is Jingzhou's water army, Cai Mao's command ability is indeed rubbish, but the layout of this water village in front of him is quite stable, and Zhou Yu can't think of a good way to break through such a water village.

Therefore, Zhou Yu did not shy away from discussing this matter with Lu Su and Zhang Xi.

Zhuge Liang was listening at this time, Zhou Yu didn't realize how good Zhuge Liang was, he thought that Zhuge Liang was a simple civilian official, this kind of military matter, Zhou Yu's first thought was to discuss with Zhang Xi, a general with experience in leading troops.

But Zhang Xixin said that you can solve this matter in a few days. And it's okay if you don't solve it, anyway, it's a matter of fire in the end, and it doesn't matter if you hit the water village or not.

Therefore, Zhang Xitui said that he was only good at land warfare, not water warfare, and he didn't have ideas at all, so he happily watched Zhou Yu with Zhuge Liang and had a headache.

As a result, Zhou Yu's head didn't hurt for two days, and suddenly someone came to report that someone from the other side of the river came to visit Zhou Dudu.

As for the comer, it is naturally Zhou Yu's old classmate, Jiujiang people, Jiang Gan, Jiang Ziyi.
