Zhou Yu's face was very bad.

Zhuge Liang really delivered 100,000 arrows in three days, although they were not made, they were "borrowed" from Cao Cao.

No matter how this arrow came from, Zhou Yu actually didn't care, and even whether the arrow was enough or not, Zhou Yu didn't want to send someone to count it.

What worries Zhou Yu most now is that in three days, Zhuge Liang has formulated a perfect battle and deceived these 100,000 arrows from Cao Cao's hands. If you get along with each other, Zhou Yu feels that she can't do this.

This is not jealousy, nor does he care about his chest, Zhou Yu simply wants to nip Zhuge Liang's threat in the bud.

Now Liu Beijun is not too strong, so there is nothing to worry about, but if you wait until you defeat Cao Cao, Liu Bei will soon be able to grow stronger with the help of Zhuge Liang. Zhou Yu is experienced in this, after all, when Sun Ce went down to Jiangdong, he was not as powerful as Liu Bei's current power, but now Sun Quan is not firmly in the position of the lord of Jiangdong?!

Zhou Yu didn't want to admit that Zhuge Liang was stronger than him, but even if he had a talent similar to his own, Zhou Yu couldn't let Zhuge Liang go away like this.

By the way, there is also that Zhang Xi.

Although Lu Su has always been not optimistic about Zhang Xi, he is compared to whom.

Compared with Zhuge Liang, Zhang Xi is definitely inferior to Zhuge Liang, and now Zhou Yu has realized this.

But if compared with some other generals or strategists in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu thinks that if Zhang Xi comes to Jiangdong, he will not be able to rank in the top five.

After all, there are really not many people in Jiangdong who can give advice and lead the army to fight, that is, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Zhang Zhao. Lu Fan barely counted half.

The others are either pure civilian officials, or simple military generals, or they are new to the army, or they are too young and inexperienced to reuse them for the time being.

The more Zhou Yu thought about it, the more he felt that Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi couldn't let them return to Liu Bei alive.

It's just that now Zhou Yu really has nothing to do with these two.

First, the Sun-Liu alliance must be maintained, at least before Cao's break, this alliance cannot be broken.

Second, Lu Su resolutely opposes it.

In a sense, Lu Su represents Sun Quan's will, and Lu Su opposes turning his face and breaking the covenant now, which can also be seen as Sun Quan not wanting to break the covenant now.

Moreover, what Lu Su said also makes sense.

"If the governor can capture the thief alive and cause chaos in the north, these two people will be dealt with by the governor. If not, then I Jiangdong needs to be a one-faced thief, so long to be safe?! ”

Zhou Yu is not without strategic vision.

If Cao Cao is only repelled this time, then Liu Bei is really needed to help share the pressure, and it is not good to turn against Liu Bei.

But if Cao Cao can be killed this time, then the north will be chaotic, and Liu Bei is also a threat to stay, it is better to turn his face early and destroy it when Liu Bei's power is not strong, Jiangdong can still occupy Jiangxia and obtain the barrier of Jiangbei.

It's a pity that Zhou Yu is sure to defeat Cao Cao, but he is really not sure that he can kill Cao Cao.

Plus.

"The governor used to have an old relationship with the chief of the Yuan, and Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin also served in Jiangdong, why didn't the governor invite this person to come out and persuade his brother to vote and serve the lord together, wouldn't it be a good thing?!"

Not to mention, Lu Su's idea, Zhou Yu was moved.

If Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi abandon Liu Bei and join Jiangdong at the same time, then what else does he Zhou Yu want to kill and do, it is simply so welcome that he can't be more welcome.

Therefore, Zhou Yu temporarily put down his intention of killing, on the one hand, he had nothing to do with Zhang Xi to go to the banquet, contact each other, and test the possibility of Zhang Xi defecting to Jiangdong, and on the other hand, he sent someone to Chaisang to invite Zhuge Jin and asked him to help persuade Zhuge Liang.

But. It didn't work out.

Of course it can't be done, if Zhang Xi leaves Liu Bei, it will also go to Cao Cao, who will choose Sun 100,000, the Great Emperor of Eastern Wu.

Zhang Xi knows what kind of virtuous person the Emperor of Eastern Wu is, working under this kind of person, even an old minister like Zhang Zhao, a confidant like Lu Xun who has known each other for 40 years, the Emperor of Eastern Wu said that he could turn his face.

It has nothing to do with right or wrong, it can only be said that Sun Quan was a male lord in the early stage, but in the later stage, he was simply an emotionless political machine, all for profit.

It's really not practical to do things under such people.

So, although Zhang Xi respects Zhou Yu a lot, Zhang Xi can't understand Zhou Yu's explicit hint of solicitation, doesn't understand, doesn't understand, doesn't know.

As for Zhuge Liang, it is even more absolute.

When his brother arrived at Lukou, he finished talking to Zhuge Liang, and just after opening a persuasive head, Zhuge Liang took over the conversation and persuaded Zhuge Jin to defect to Liu Bei.

Zhuge Jin was very embarrassed, knowing that his younger brother already knew his intentions, so he simply stopped mentioning it, and the two brothers drank to recall the past, and Zhuge Jin withdrew after drinking.

Zhou Yu wasted several days in vain, but the final result disappointed Zhou Yu.

But at this moment, Zhou Yu didn't have the heart to intrigue with Zhuge Liang for the time being, because Cao Jun had a new trend.

I don't know which brain-pumping fool proposed it to Cao Cao, and asked Cao Cao to connect the large and small warships in Jingzhou with iron cables and planks.

This is a godsend.

Now that the fighter has appeared, all of Zhou Yu's thoughts are on breaking Cao.

On the river, the iron cable is connected to the boat, it is obvious that it was made by a fool who does not know how to fight in water, and no one in Cao Jun raised any objections, which shows that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are most likely finished.

And the stupid guy who made the iron cable boat is still very proud to show off to his subordinates.

"The soldiers of Qingxu are not good at water warfare, and now I use the big ship as the base and connect the small boats, so that the soldiers of Qingxu can also cross the river. Gentlemen, Jiangdong can be broken!! ”

Well, this idiot is Cao Cao himself.

Cao Cao was actually helpless.

At the beginning, he appointed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun as the governors of the navy and commanded the Jingzhou navy, but the Jingzhou navy with more troops could not defeat Zhou Yu's Jiangdong navy.

At that time, Cao Cao was very dissatisfied, Cai Mao said that the Jingzhou Navy has not practiced for a long time, and this Jingzhou Army has not practiced for a long time, is it still the pot of my Han Prime Minister? ! Isn't it the result of your Jingzhou family not doing anything?!

But thinking about it, Cao Cao thinks that if these people are doing human things, can Jingzhou surrender so simply?!

Again, Cao Cao considered that Cai Mao was the head of the Cai family in Jingzhou after all, and he was also considered small with himself, plus Cai Mao proposed to establish a water village, let the Jingzhou soldiers outside, and the Qingxu soldiers included, so that Cao Cao realized that he still had to rely on Cai Mao to govern the water army, so he put up with it for the time being and let Cai Mao continue to lead the water army.

But the navy army led by Cai Mao, after a month of drills, Cai Mao still said that he could not fight, and at this time, the soldiers from the north gradually began to show signs of unadaptability, Cao Cao couldn't wait any longer, and he was more and more dissatisfied with Cai Mao.

At this time, Jiang Gan rushed back from Jiangdong overnight and handed over a "letter of surrender" written by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to Zhou Yu. Cao Cao had just been woken up by someone at that time, and he was suffering from a headache.

But soon, Cao Cao reacted and realized that he had been fooled.

But he is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and he swept Jingxiang with a great victory. At this time, even if you know that you are wrong, you can't admit that you are wrong.

Cao Cao made the mistake of being arrogant and complacent in his superiors, and at this time, there were only two advisers by his side, Cheng Yu and Liu Ye, neither of whom were the kind of people who would make outspoken admonitions, so although they saw it, no one dared to say more.

Cao Cao therefore ordered Mao Jue and Yu Ban to take over the Jingzhou Navy, thinking that these two had trained the Navy's army in Yecheng and should know some of the methods of the Navy. As a result, Zhuge Villager "borrowed" 100,000 arrows, and he was ridiculed.

Although this matter is Cao Cao's pot, it was Cao Cao who judged that this was a plan to lure the enemy and prevent the naval army from fighting, but Cao Cao would not admit it, it must be a matter of Mao Jue and Yu Ban.

But it's not a way to go on like this, Cao Cao doesn't want to confront Zhou Yu across the river anymore.

Cao Cao's army went south to attack about 200,000, and when it arrived in Jingzhou, it surrendered about 100,000, which was a full 300,000 army.

But what Cao Cao didn't expect was that the battle in the south of the Yangtze River was completely different from the battle in the north. To cross the Yangtze River, there must be a naval army, and this can only rely on the local army in Jingzhou.

But the Jingzhou soldiers were newly surrendered, the people's hearts were uncertain, and the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Navy was so different from the Jiangdong Navy that Cao Cao did not expect, and it fell into a stalemate for a while, which made Cao Cao very dissatisfied.

On the other hand, after the Qingxu army in the north went south to Jingzhou, they began to adapt to the water and soil one after another, and even caused a small-scale plague, the lighter limbs were weak, and the heavier ones vomited and diarrhea, and the combat ability was greatly reduced.

Coupled with the continuous campaign, many soldiers have not returned home for almost two years, although the temporary victory in Jingzhou diluted this mood, but with the confrontation with the Jiangdong Army across the river, the homesickness in the army began to spread again.

If it drags on like this, then Cao Cao will have to think about whether it is time to retreat and return to Xudu.

Cao Cao obviously didn't want to withdraw his troops so thunderously, so he thought of a way.

The biggest problem facing Cao Cao now is that the soldiers in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, are not good at water warfare, and cannot help in water warfare, and the naval army of Jingzhou alone cannot defeat the Jiangdong army.

In that case, if the water surface is turned into land, won't the Qingxu Army be allowed to participate in the war?!

And once the Qingxu Army forms combat effectiveness on the water, with the hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, it can still defeat the Jiangdong Army with less than 50,000 on the other side of the river?!

Cao Cao found that the stability of the big ship was better, and the Qingxu army on the big ship was less unwell, while on the contrary, the small boat shook more seriously, and the Qingxu army was more commonly unadaptable.

So, if you connect the big ships and small boats together, will you be able to effectively resist the shaking and fluctuations on the river surface and turn the river surface into land?!

Cao Cao tried it and found that this method was really possible, the Qingzhou army fought on such a boat, and its combat effectiveness was also guaranteed to a certain extent, so that it would not vomit as soon as it got on the boat.

So, Cao Cao felt that he had found a way to defeat the enemy, and with a wave of his hand, he connected all the warships of the Jingzhou army.

And he also found a way for Zhou Yu to defeat the enemy.

With such a chain of boats, I am really worried that the fire will not burn!!
