Lose your mind.

Cao Cao thought it was Jingzhou.

No!

It was Cao Cao who thought that Guan Lin had lost his mind and went crazy! Otherwise, how could he have sent a messenger to make such an unbelievable request.

Cession south of the capital city?

Attack the land of Huainan Dongwu!

Why is he?

The situation today? Why is he so arrogant? So domineering?

Speaking of which, this kind of negotiation of land cutting and compromise is often when one party falls into great passivity, or one party is seized by the other party and grasps the key point!

Otherwise, it will never be possible!

It's also Guan Lin, if it were someone else, Cao Cao would never be so nervous, and even thought it was crazy to the extreme, but Guan Lin... couldn't help but make him think more, and couldn't help but make Cao Cao's heart throb!

- "What kind of medicine is sold in this kid's gourd?"

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao's blue and purple cheeks, he couldn't help but sigh softly and raised his head... Through the window, I looked up at the clear blue sky.

Just now, he was ordered by Cao Cao to meet the envoy of Jingzhou, and when the other party reported that his home was "Langya Zhuge Ke", Cheng Yu was still surprised...

Because, Cheng Yu knows, now... Dongwu also sent an envoy to Xudu to discuss matters, and it was Zhuge Jin of Langya who was sent, he was in Xudu, and the discussion was... Wei and Wu caught the matter of attacking Jingzhou.

Who would have thought that it would be a coincidence... The Jingzhou faction turned out to be Zhuge Jin's son, Zhuge Ke.

Of course, this is just a small episode.

Cheng Yu was instructed by Cao Cao to take the opportunity to explore Jingzhou's reality.

So, Cheng Yu treated Zhuge with courtesy...

However, Zhuge Ke went straight to the point and did not hide it at all: "I came here on order to negotiate with the King of Wei and let the King of Wei cede the south of the capital to Jingzhou, and in addition, send troops to exterminate the Eastern Wu forces in Huainan——"

This...

Speaking of which, Cheng Yu is also an old man.

As soon as he heard Zhuge Ke, the envoy of Jingzhou, show such conditions, Cheng Yu had a feeling of auditory hallucinations, and even... In a short period of time, he was stunned and stunned!

"What did the Zhuge envoy just say? The old man's eyes are dizzy, and his ears are not good, I want to ask again! ”

With doubts, Cheng Yu continued to ask.

It's just that Zhuge Ke's answer is exactly the same as the first time.

It is still to let Cao Cao cede the south of Xudu, and it is still to let Cao Cao send troops to exterminate the Eastern Wu of Huainan, as for why? He didn't say it, Cheng Yu just thought it was funny... I won't even ask!

In fact, in Cheng Yu's opinion, no matter what the situation, Cao Cao would not agree to such a request!

This...

Cheng Yu couldn't help but ask himself.

- "Where did this kid get his confidence? No, it's Guan Lin behind him, where does he get his confidence? So swearing... Are you so sure?'

"Hehehe..."

Cheng Yu smiled, and asked while laughing: "Zhuge Xian's nephew, are you mistaken?" Now that your Wancheng is hanging alone, do you think that I am the land of Great Wei and Kyushu, with millions of male soldiers... It's not enough to level a small Wancheng, right? Hehehe... If you really want to cut the land and compromise, it seems that it should be your Jingzhou land cut-off compromise! You're saying the opposite, right? ”

In the face of Cheng Yu's doubts, Zhuge Ke showed his unique self-confidence as always, of course... In Cheng Yu's view, this self-confidence has some conceit.

Zhuge Ke said meticulously, "I represent Jingzhou, and Jingzhou's demands will not change... This is the only purpose for me to come here to envoy Wei! ”

Listening to Zhuge Ke's words, Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing, he couldn't help but laugh at the person in front of him, whether he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, or whether he wanted to further attract the attention of Dawei before the water was diverted and poured into the coming July!

- "Is this... Yangmou?'

Cheng Yu settled down, he felt that it was the latter.

Guan Lin's death is not easy to use!

This kid has come up with a new way, but it's a pity... Because of Yan Zhen, the water conservancy master of Eastern Wu, all the conspiracies and tricks related to water diversion and irrigation... There is no way to hide.

This time, this pair of Guan family father and son lost!

"Hehe..."

Cheng Yu responded to Zhuge Ke with a light laugh, and then shook his head with emotion: "It's good to be young, young people... Dare to fight, the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, it's good, it's good-"

Speaking of which, this meeting between the Great Wei and the envoys of Jingzhou can be regarded as coming to an end.

At this moment, Cheng Yu pulled his thoughts back from that meeting, and he whispered to Cao Cao: "In the opinion of the minister, it may not be that Guan Lin is crazy... Perhaps, it was Guan Lin who used Zhuge Ke's mouth to attract the king's attention in another way, and its purpose was still to divert water to pour into Fancheng! ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu groaned slightly, and added, "Actually, I am still a little afraid when I think about it, if it weren't for that Huang Hao, not because of Yan Xuan... Perhaps, the king and General Zixiao are still in the dark now, and I have to say... Guan Lin's plan is very vicious and harmful, but it is just right! ”

This is the reason why Cao Cao likes Cheng Yu, often one thing, before Cao Cao ponders it clearly, Cheng Yu can figure it out for him!

Need to know - from Cheng "Li" to Cheng "Yu"!

- Cao Cao is Cheng Yu's sun!

"What Zhong De said is extremely true, not to mention this messenger..."Cao Cao waved his hand quite chicly, and sweated a lot, which made him look a lot brighter, and also made his headache inexplicably healed a lot, and his spirit was also shocked.

"Lone asks you, what's going on in Huainan?"

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Cheng Yu replied without thinking: "According to the tacit agreement between the king and the Marquis of Wu, the entire Huainan Shouchun south and east, all the cities were captured by Eastern Wu..."

"In this way, we can feed Sun Quan's mouse!" Cao Cao's expression for the fall of these cities did not show half a point of regret and sorrow.

He said solemnly, "Sun Quan's son... The mouse's eyes are very bright, compared to his father and his brother, it is really far worse, Lone gave him a date, and lured him with a mere place in Huainan, he can get rid of a big trouble for Lone, haha, if the Guan family father and son lose Jingzhou, then Huainan will be lonely sooner or later, or Dawei's? These cities that he Sun Quan got will have to be spit out sooner or later! ”

Speaking of which, Cao Cao's whole person was high-spirited, as if... Except for this pair of Guan family father and son, there is no one in the whole world... It can be put in his eyes.

Cheng Yu added in due course: "King, it is said... Someone met Gan Ning in Xiakou, and I talked with Zhuge Ziyu yesterday, and it was also confirmed that Gan Ning Gan Xingba, who was regarded as a national thief in Eastern Wu, is now in Jingzhou... Sun Quan knows about this matter! ”

Not...

Cheng Yu's words are quite intriguing.

Hearing this, Cao Cao pondered for a while, and finally sighed: "It seems that the Sun-Liu Alliance is really dead in name, haha, Lone's hanging heart can finally be put down, haha, the day when Lone and Sun Quan agreed to attack Jingzhou is very close." So, what is the situation on the Fancheng side? ”

Cao Cao changed his words and led the topic from Huainan to Xiangfan.

Cheng Yu replied without thinking: "Relying on the king's high opinion, the whole country raised sandbags and ships to help Fancheng, Yuncheng, Pinglu City... Recently, General Zixiao sent someone back to summon the news, saying that sandbags were piled up and blocked behind the inner city wall, which was the backflow of Han water, which was enough to protect the city without worry! As for the ship ... Although it is not a warship, there are many of them, and even if the sandbags cannot block the flow of water, it is enough to shelter the 100,000 troops of the Great Wei Dynasty from the ship! ”

"Where's the grain?" Cao Cao solemnly asked, "What does Mr. Yan of Dongwu mean, the Han water is poured back, he can't change the flow of water, he can only let Xiangfan all be reduced to an ocean, at that time... What Zixiao and Yun Chang are competing with is emergency and the reserve of military rations! ”

When it comes to grain and grass, Cao Cao's tone is meticulous and his expression is quite solemn.

Cheng Yu seemed to have expected Cao Cao to ask this question, "The grain reserve is enough for 100,000 soldiers and horses to consume for half a year, in addition, according to the detailed report, Guan Yu has been digging a reservoir south of the Han River with all his heart, and there is no special reserve of grain and grass... Once the Han water poured into Xiangfan, that... First of all, it must be Xiangyang who can't bear the flow of water and food supplies! ”

"Don't be careless!" Without waiting for Cheng Yu to finish speaking, Cao Cao interrupted directly, his tone was quite serious. "In the past year, this pair of Guan family father and son has made Gu suffer! You sent a letter to Zixiao on behalf of Gu to tell him to be careful... Think twice before you decide, plan before you act! Don't be careless! ”

This...

Cheng Yu groaned slightly, but still gave up his hand and said the word "喏"!

In fact, he paid more attention to the Xiangfan battlefield than Cao Cao, and... All kinds of information on the Xiangfan battlefield were first transmitted to him, and he knew the situation well.

This time... Relying on the deployment of the water conservancy master Yan Ji, and Cao Ren's careful and meticulous execution.

Cheng Yu can be sure...

Guan Yu didn't know that a reservoir was also built north of the Han River, and when the water rose during the rising period, the embankment was opened on both sides at the same time, and the Han River was north and south... All of them will be reduced to an ocean!

In other words, at the level of preparation, Cao Ren was much more adequate than Guan Yu, and Cao Cao, the king of Wei, ordered... Mobilize the strength of the whole country to help.

Cheng Yu rarely dares to be determined.

- This battle... Infallible.

After talking about Jingzhou's envoys, after talking about Huainan, and after talking about Xiangfan.

It seems that there is nothing else to continue to report, Cheng Yu is about to say goodbye to Cao Cao, but just now, Cao Cao seems to have thought of something.

"How did Zhi'er build Luoyang?"

Yes...

Asked this coldly, Cheng Yu was slightly surprised.

He thought for a while, recalled a report about Luoyang, and then replied truthfully, "First Zihuan and Mr. Li laid the foundation, and then Zijian Gongzi spared no effort to build, now Luoyang has been largely completed, the city is solid, the moat is bottomless, even the palace of King Wei is ten times more magnificent than the palace when Yecheng, but... Only the last few sections are missing, and it is expected that the project will be completely completed in 10 or 8 days, and then it will have... Conditions for moving the capital! ”

Cheng Yu's move to the capital... There are two meanings, one is that the Han capital moved from Xu to Luoyang, and the other is that the Wei king moved from Yecheng to Luoyang...

Of course, the specific implementation of which one needs to be decided according to the situation.

It's just that...

Cao Cao didn't think of this, he asked lightly: "How did you hear that when Zihuan sent an envoy to Jiangdong, he specially left his wife Zhen in Luoyang!" There is such a thing, right? ”

This one...

Cheng Yu groaned for a moment, and some didn't know whether to say it or not...

He pondered for a long time before replying, "But there is such a thing! ”

Cao Cao's expression suddenly became gloomy, "What about Zijian?" But because this sister-in-law is distracted? ”

"This..."Cheng Yu hesitated, how did he answer.

"Haha..."Cao Cao suddenly laughed, "Zhongde, you are older than me, why bother to hide it for their juniors?" You just tell the truth! Besides, if you don't tell the truth, can't you find it out? ”

Truth...

Cheng Yu bit his lip and replied quite firmly: "Pingyuan Hou and Mrs. Zhen respect each other like guests-"

"Hahahaha..."This time, Cao Cao laughed quite heartily, and raised his hand while laughing, "It's also embarrassing for them, these two sons of Lone... It's all good, this prince is lonely, but they are competing for a brilliant victory! ”

Cheng Yu could only say, "The king is blessed with all the sky..."

Cao Cao was still laughing, "Look at this time, if you can eliminate Lone's henchmen, and Zihuan, who has been in Eastern Wu for half a year, should be the first to take credit, then Lone will make him the prince... But if..."

At the mention of "yes", Cao Cao's voice suddenly stopped.

He meant to say:

- "If something happens, it is very likely that Xu Du will move the capital to Luoyang in desperation, Zijian will build Luoyang, be more familiar with the terrain over there, and be more harmonious with the people over there, at that time... I can only let Zijian be the prince!"

- "And Li Cong, others don't know, but Gu knows his position best, if Zijian is the prince, Li Cong... With his skill from the dragon, he is bound to enter the overlord mansion in advance!"

Of course, these words... Cao Cao was unable to speak in the end.

On the other hand, Cheng Yu can already see through Cao Cao's thoughts.

It's one thing to see through, it's another thing to say it or not to say it.

Zu Zihong, he opened his mouth, but he still swallowed all the words he wanted to say back into his stomach, he only said lightly, "If the king has nothing else to do, then the minister will retire first!" ”

"Let's go," Cao Cao waved his hand.

Then, he looked at Cheng Yu stepping down the steps of the palace of the King of Wei one by one, and he couldn't help but sigh to himself: "Although Luoyang has been repaired, I hope that it will never be used!" ”

…

…

- Liu Chan burned the beacon tower!

On the outskirts of Xiangyang, the Guanjia army is a big village, and the Chinese army is a big tent.

When Guan Yu heard this news, his red cheeks suddenly changed color, as if they had become a little pale because of nervousness and incredulity.

From large red dates to the color of winter dates.

Zhou Cang was nervous and still reporting, but his words were a little stumbling: "Yesterday day... Liu Chan Gongzi burned three beacon towers, if... If it weren't for the last time he stumbled and fell and was caught by Sergeant Guan, I'm afraid it would be... I'm afraid there are more than three beacon towers burned... By the way, General Zhao Zilong is also there... Now, he is taking care of Liu Changongzi, and the defenders don't know how to send it, so he immediately hurried and reported to the second general! ”

With Zhou Cang's words, Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes almost opened and closed to the extreme, dazed, confused, puzzled, surprised... The total emotions were all added to this Danfeng's eyes.

Xu Shu happened to be there, and he also showed an extremely incredible expression.

He asked suspiciously: "How could Liu Changongzi go to burn the beacon tower for no reason?" ”

This question is also what Guan Yu wants to ask.

His Danfeng's eyes were filled with unusually strong and complex emotions, unbelievable, but as if... He knew something.

Scold... How could Liu Chan burn the beacon tower?

It's obvious ... It was instructed by Guan Lin!

"Second General, Xu Junshi... The defenders also asked, asking him why he burned the beacon tower... But he said..."

This time, Zhou Cang's words were only halfway out, but he was interrupted by Guan Yu.

"Say no more!"

Oh, yes...

Guan Lin is still nominally cheating on death, no matter what his purpose is, from Liu Chan's mouth, he should not say that Guan Lin instructed him to do it.

Even now, Guan Yu is worried that this will reveal his son Guan Lin's plan.

But...

Although he stopped Zhou Cang from talking, he couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

- "What is Yunqi doing here?" Isn't it a fraud? Don't you even have it installed? Seeing that he is about to divert water to pour into Fancheng, what move is he going to do? Why is it that the dragon is messing around with them?'

Guan Yu was at a loss... I don't understand my son's thoughts anymore.

That's when ...

Xu Shu "chirped" his mouth, as if he had found something from this piece of information.

That's right... There are problems, there are big problems!

Xu Shu immediately asked Zhou Cang, "Does General Zhou know how Liu Changongzi burned the beacon tower?" The beacon tower is so high, didn't you take precautions in advance? ”

This is the value of "military division", Guan Yu in history fought against Cao Wei and Eastern Wu with his own strength... It's a tiger indeed!

However, the reason why he finally defeated Mai Cheng was in addition to his carelessness and character...

What is lacking around him is a military advisor who can peel back the cocoon of the general information and extract the most critical factors... It's also closely related.

Now, Xu Shu's departure from the mountain has made up for Guan Yu's shortcomings in this regard, making it easier for him to see the truth under the "layers of fog"!

As soon as Xu Shu asked, Guan Yu also reined in his mind and focused his attention on this question, he said lightly: "Yes, the beacon tower is used to detect the enemy's attack?" Why is it so easy to get Liu Chan close? Burning down three beacons in a row? ”

Zhou Cang really knows this problem...

He hurriedly reported truthfully, "It's white, Liu Chan and his subordinates are disguised as white-clothed merchants, white-clothed and white-ship... deceived the defenders on the beacon tower, and that's how... This made it close and easily burned the beacon tower! ”

Really...

Zhou Cang's answer confirmed Xu Shu's conjecture.

Xu Shu's eyes turned to Guan Yu, and he said meticulously: "It seems that this is the real intention of the Yunqi Gongzi to instruct Liu Changongzi to burn the beacon tower..."

Speaking of this, Xu Shu further reminded, "Liu Changongzi burned the beacon tower, which reminded me of four months ago, when the beacon tower was first built, Lu Meng led a warship to Jingnan to pick up Mrs. Sun, but the beacon tower was all observed, and lit the beacon fire as soon as possible, so that Jiangling City and Changsha City knew... But this is still this matter, Yun Chang must not forget, there are dozens of Jiaozhou warships blocking the Lu Meng warship, these ships... There are a lot of them, and all of them are warships, why is there no news from the beacon? ”

Xu Shu doesn't like to talk around the bend, and when he encounters a problem, he will definitely point it out sharply and sharply, and he will never tolerate it, "Yun Chang, it's Jiaozhou... It's the ship of the Cloud Banner ally, if it's replaced... What about Soochow's warships? What if it was a surprise attack by Soochow? Is that as long as you use the white-clothed merchant ship as a cover, you can easily break through the sight of the beacon tower and give Changsha and Jiangling a sudden blow! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Shu paused, he groaned, and then said, "From this point of view, whether it is this fire of Liu Chan Gongzi or the fire instructed by the son behind him... This is a reminder to us! This fire... Put it well, and put it in time! ”

With Xu Shu's words...

Guan Yu actually felt that his legs were weak, and he sat on the bamboo mat.

Xu Shu is a military advisor, and he is analyzing.

But Guan Yu is the commander, he will deduce the overall situation according to Xu Shu's analysis... Especially now that it's an eventful time.

In other words, he can lead water to pour Xiangfan, but if Dongwu wants to stab him in the back? That... The beacon tower can't be stopped at all!

- "Merchant ships in white!"

- "Crossing the river in white!"

Guan Yu chanted these two words in his heart, which made him feel creepy.

Finally, after a long period of silence, Guan Yu opened his mouth.

But he only chanted five words: "What a fire!" ”

Actually, what he was thinking in his heart was.

"This beacon tower can't defend against Soochow, so it's better not to want it, then it's better to burn it all-"

…

…

Sixty warships disguised as merchant ships had long been painted white.

The ship is piled with large and small boxes, and from a distance, it looks like a merchant ship carrying goods... No one would have thought that these boxes are divided into two kinds, the outer ones are commodities, and the inner ones are swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks!

At the same time, the 3,000 elite Jiangdong naval army is now refreshed... They all behave like shrewd businessmen.

This...

It is the army of "crossing the river in white clothes" in Lu Meng's plan!

On the seventh day of the seventh month, this is the day when Sun Quan and Cao Cao agreed to attack Xiangfan.

The reason why it is set at this time is not because of the romance of Qixi Festival, but because of the water conservancy master of Soochow... With experience, it is deduced that the seventh day of the seventh month... During the high water period, the flow of the Han River will reach its peak.

This is also the best opportunity to divert water to pour water into Xiangfan.

It is also a good opportunity to expose Guan Yu to the enemy.

Today is June 29th... It is already very close to the agreed time, and Lu Meng is also making the final deployment... The final walkthrough.

"Where are the beacons? Where are the blind spots in the field of vision? If it is discovered, how to answer, these... We've trained countless times over the past four months! Today, every lieutenant among you will come with me again! The tun chief went through it to the captain, the chief went through it to the tun chief, and the chief of the army went to the chief... Everybody has to go through it all over again! ”

Because the opponent is the Guan family father and son...

Lumont was in good spirits, not daring to slack off.

Even, in the waters of Jiangdong, he made a special trip to build dozens of simple beacon towers, just to let the soldiers simulate actual combat... It can be said that for four months, every day, every night, even when the soldiers were sleeping, they were simulating... How to break through this beacon.

How to continue to move forward quietly under the vision of the beacon tower, and then arrive at Changsha and Jiangling...

Give that Guan Jiajun a fatal blow!

So-called... Successful!

If this battle is fought well, then it is a hero and a name for itself, but if it is lost, then there are only three words - it is better to die!

Lu Meng is still doing the final training...

Until the day of the actual battle, he did not dare to slack off or waste a moment, a stick of incense, or a breath.

Who would have thought...

That's when it happened.

"Newspaper—"

As soon as the news was heard, a secret agent of the naval army of Soochow came to report, "The beacon tower has burned..."

Not...

Lu Meng heard about it, two days ago... There were three beacon towers that were inexplicably and strangely on fire.

Because of Guan Yu's blockade of the news, even the scouts and spies did not find out the reason!

Of course, before the rising waters... It's not surprising that there will be exceptionally dry days and a fire will break out.

Lu Meng can only think about this, and even think more, maybe it is - God help me!

You know, if there are a few beacons, the success rate of the infiltration of the Soochow Navy will undoubtedly be magnified a lot, this... Lu Meng is the most hearted like a mirror.

"Isn't it those three beacons, this news was reported by secret agents yesterday!"

Lu Meng waved his hand and signaled to the secret agent - your news is outdated!

Who would have thought that this spy who was kneeling on one knee suddenly raised his head, the muscles of his cheeks seemed to be tense because of nervousness, he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "It's not those three beacons, but... It's all the beacons, all ignited, all... Burn them all—"
