Lu Xun saw that Liu Qi was a little carried away, and hurriedly persuaded: "The army strictly orders that you are not allowed to drink. ”

Liu Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "The generals have been in the Huaishui for more than three years, and they are exposed to the wind and sun every day, and they can't enjoy it anymore?" ”

Lu Xun frowned and said: "When the general first arrived in Shuizhai, he first violated the ban, how will he serve the public in the future?" ”

Liu Qi hugged his fists to Zhou Tai and the others and said: "I am really forced to take charge of Jiangdong this time, but I don't want to let Cao Thief take advantage of the situation." As for the battle of the troops, it is enough to have the generals, so why do I need to serve the people? ”

Zhou Tai and the others were still a little hostile to Liu Qi, but when they saw him cooking and cooking in person, and said such words, they were all moved, and they hugged their fists and said: "We are willing to help the general defeat the Cao thief." ”

Lu Xun said: "Cao Jun monitors the water village day and night, Cao Xiu is good at using soldiers, if you take advantage of the weakness to attack, how is it good?" ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Bo Yan has expected it, and the matter of patrolling the camp will be for you." ”

"Uh......" Lu Xun was stunned, looking at Liu Qi speechless.

"It's just an exception today!" Liu Qi patted Lu Xun on the shoulder and motioned for him to patrol the camp, at this time the soldiers had moved wine into the village, Liu Qi held the crab and laughed: "Then eat the crab, then drink." ”

Lu Xun went out of the account alone and walked along the water village, but he couldn't understand in his heart, if Liu Qi behaved like this in Jingzhou, how could he get the support of the civil and military forces?

When he was depressed, he heard someone calling behind him, and when he looked back, he was Ma Tan, carrying two crabs: "The general also came to taste this delicacy." ”

Seeing Ma Tan sitting on a stone by the river and doing his work, Lu Xun frowned slightly, although he felt that this move was too rude, but after all, he couldn't resist the temptation of deliciousness, and he also sat down on the side.

Ma Jian smiled and said: "General Hugh blames me for my director's nature, this is really a plan!" ”

Lu Xun was slightly stunned, the worry between his eyebrows instantly dissipated, and he changed to a smile, peeled off the crab shell, the fragrance came to his nose, and he smiled and said: "It turned out to be a radical general, I don't know what General Liu's clever plan is?" ”

Ma Yan said: "Cao Xiu since he arrived in Huainan, he was appointed by Cao Cao as the governor of the navy, and now he is in charge of 100,000 sailors, and he must be complacent, thinking that he has the power to fight with the Jiangdong navy. ”

Lu Xun said suddenly: "When Cao Xiu sees General Liu despising him so much, he must be unconvinced, and he will fight the battle." ”

Ma Tan nodded and smiled: "Although the Wei Navy is not as good as Jiangdong, if you stick to the water village, it will be difficult to break through, only to lead it out to battle, defeat it on the water, frustrate its spirit, and then break it is not difficult!" ”

"General Liu is really old and spicy, and he can defeat Cao thief, and he really lives up to his reputation." Lu Xun understood Liu Qi's intentions and couldn't help but be impressed.

Ma Jian smiled and said: "The general doesn't know, although there are many Jiangdong Junjie, but the only people my lord admires are the governor and the general." Zeng Yan is no less talented than Zhou Lang, but he has not won his position! ”

"Oh?" Lu Xun was a little surprised, and muttered after a moment of silence: "I didn't get his position......

"Those who don't want to know me are General Liu!"

Ma Tan had already finished eating the crabs, washed his hands by the water, took out a letter and handed it to Lu Xun: "This is a war letter, the general sent someone to Cao Xiu's place, and see how he replied, and then make plans." ”

Lu Xun took the letter, looked at the crab in his hand, and said angrily: "If Liu Bowei doesn't come, who can know that the crab is delicious?" Those who know me, Liu Qi also! ”

……

In the water village of the Wei army in Suiling, the deployment along the river is also strict, the boats come and go, the sails are like clouds, the daily drums are continuous, and the training of the Wei army is more strict than that in Jiangdong.

After the defeat in the Battle of Wetbeard, Cao Xiufang knew that there was a big gap with the Jiangdong Naval Army, and most of the Northern Army was not familiar with water warfare, so he followed Chen Jiao's suggestion to remove most of the original naval army and recruit soldiers from Huainan, Xuzhou and other places for retraining.

This time, Cao Xiu personally boarded the ship, shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and never stopped for three years, in order to compete with the Jiangdong naval army and help Cao Cao set foot in the south of the Yangtze River.

On this day, he was returning to the camp from training, but he saw Xiahou Nan coming to the camp with Wen Qin, and wondered: "The two of you are not in Shouchun to help the prime minister, why did you come to Shuizhai?" ”

Xiahou Nan said: "Liu Qi has arrived in Xuyi, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the navy, so the prime minister ordered us to come to help in the war." ”

"Liu Qi arrived in Xuyi?" Cao Xiu was a little surprised, and immediately sneered: "This son is too arrogant, he won by virtue of his geographical advantage in Nanyang, do you still want to be able to do it on the water?" ”

Xiahou Nan said: "The prime minister is worried that he is secretly uniting with Zhou Yu, and the governor should be more careful in the water village." ”

Cao Xiu laughed and said: "You don't have to worry, I have already sent people to closely monitor the waters of the Huai River, and even a single miscellaneous fish will not want to cross the border." ”

These two people are Cao Cao's cronies, a son-in-law and a righteous son, Cao Xiu did not dare to slack off, ordered someone to hold a banquet to discuss the military, and sent people to investigate the movements of the Jiangdong naval army.

In the evening, the sentinel ship came to report, and when Liu Qi first arrived in the village, he ordered the three armies to be rewarded, and the Jiangdong generals drank and had fun, and the Jiangdong navy all relaxed and rested.

Cao Xiu sneered: "This must be Liu Qi buying people's hearts, but the affairs of the army, you need to have clear rewards and punishments to serve the public, in order to lure them, how long?" ”

Wen Qin was overjoyed and said: "When Liu Qi first arrived in Shuizhai, he must have been dissatisfied with the Jiangdong soldiers, and he was so careless, why not go to the village at night, defeat the Jiangdong Navy in one fell swoop, and even capture Liu Qi, wouldn't it be for the prime minister to relieve the trouble of his henchmen?" ”

"That's a great plan!" Cao Xiu slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "In the first battle of Shouchun, Sun Quan returned with a feather, and the Jiangdong people suffered heavy losses. ”

"Oh, by all means, this must be Liu Qi's plan!" Xiahou Nan hurriedly stopped Cao Xiu, who was about to give an order, and waved his hand again and again.

"Oh?" Cao Xiu frowned, and sat down slowly, "How can Zilin decide?" ”

Xiahou Nan snorted coldly: "This Liu Qi has always been scheming and never puts himself in danger. This person has just arrived, and he is like Meng Lang, which is definitely not his style, there must be fraud in it. ”

"Thanks to my brother-in-law's reminder, I almost made a big mistake." Cao Xiu was secretly frightened.

Xiahou Nan said unhappily: "The prime minister sent me this time to counsel the general and the military, and there are only non-commissioned officers in the army, regardless of relatives or relatives, Wen Lie must not be called so, so as not to dissatisfaction with other generals." ”

Cao Xiu was nodding, but saw his own soldiers coming in quickly, carrying a letter: "Liu Qi sent someone to deliver a letter." ”

"Huh?" Cao Xiu was a little surprised, opened the letter and read it, and immediately became furious, and shouted: "Liu Bowei is too deceitful, and he will definitely share a rivalry with you." ”

Xiahou Nan hurriedly asked, "What did Liu Qi say in his letter?" ”

"This is a battle watch!" Cao Xiu patted the letter and gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Qi actually laughed at my class for getting an axe, I can't do anything I can't bear it, is it tolerable?" ”

"What? Liu Qi wrote a war book? Xiahou Nan was a little surprised, frowned and said, "Isn't this another plan?" ”

Cao Xiu gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Qi despises Yu so much, if he shouldn't fight, won't he be laughed at?" ”

Wen Qin hugged his fists and said: "The general has been training the navy for three years, and the prime minister has high hopes, it's time to show his true strength." ”
