Chapter 66: The so-called strategy

Zhou Yu's army retreated to Jiangbei, where there were still many remnants of Xiahou Yuan's army to deal with.

And on the south bank, with his back against the raging fire, Zhang Yun was like a dream, just now, their more than 10,000 remnants of the army were also facing a dead end, but this Beifu general scared Zhou Yujun back with just one move.

At this time, it is not difficult for him to understand Zhou Yu's mentality, the so-called poor people are not chasing, Zhou Yu has few people, every point of combat power must be cherished, and he does not dare to fight for the number of people. But just now, he racked his brains and couldn't imagine that he could also show his attitude of fighting to the death by lighting a fire.

After losing the first battle and annihilating the whole army, it is already a blessing in misfortune that more than 10,000 people can escape back, and all of this depends on the help of General Beifu.

Could it be that those rumors are all false, and General Beifu is actually not a gentleman? That Xiahou Yuan trusted Cao Wu so much, could it be that Cao Wu had also had a lot of achievements before this? But I've never heard of it!

He stood at the bow of the boat, looked at Cao Wu on the shore from afar, and only admired it in his heart, and arched his hand: "General Zhang Yun has seen General Beifu!" ”

Only then did Cao Wu know that the one standing at the bow of the boat was Zhang Yun who was mistakenly killed by Cao Cao in the romance, Zhang Yun was Liu Biao's nephew, and when Cao Cao's army came, he teamed up with Liu Biao's wife and brother Cai Mao to instigate the new young lord of Jingzhou Liu Cong to surrender, which was one of the culprits of Jingzhou's surrender without a fight.

Cai Mao Zhang Yun's character is not good, but he still has a proficiency in the water master, and in his letterhead to Cao Cao before, he also wrote Cai Mao Zhang Yun's immovable admonition.

Now that they met, Cao Wuye just returned the salute, and then pulled Xiahou Yuan aside.

"Brother Miaocai, the war is not over yet, and the fire behind it has not been extinguished. What are your plans? ”

Xiahou Yuan put the longbow on his back and sighed: "Although Zhou Yu has temporarily retreated, I am afraid that he will still kill him." Now he can only take advantage of the temporary withdrawal of the other party, go upstream by boat, and join the lord's large army. I've thought about it, this battle is like this, all because I'm not familiar with water warfare, and it's too embarrassing to lose! Facing the lord without a word! ”

As he spoke, Xiahou Yuan sighed, he usually called Brother Cao Cao, but now he didn't even dare to call his brother, he only felt that he had lost too ugly.

Cao Wu comforted: "Actually, it's not to blame Brother Miaocai, Zhou Yu's command ability of the navy is indeed too far ahead of us." In this battle, no matter who comes in the camp, they will not be pleased. ”

Xiahou Yuan said: "After I go back, being dealt with by military law is secondary, the key is to chill the heart of the lord, the lord chose me to be the striker, but I played like this, hey......"

A "hey" word to express his remorse.

Cao Wu smiled and said: "That's not as good as this, brother let that Zhang Yun take people to escape back, let's leave five hundred elites, do something with me, and make up for it!" ”

……

On the river, Zhou Yu looked at the remnants of Xiahou Yuan who were gradually strangled, without any joy of victory in his heart, and his mind kept ringing the words shouted by Xiahou Yuan's troops just now.

Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Hefei will give 100,000 heads.

The first sentence is to ridicule them that the lord of Jiangdong is a junior, and the latter sentence says, isn't it that this time Cheng Pu attacked Hefei and sent people away!

Xiahou Yuan came from Jiangling, even if there were spies who found out the movements of the Jiangdong Army, why did he specifically point out that Cheng Pu was going to send people to the head? Unless they were ready in Hefei to face the Jiangdong army.

The reason why they are ready is because from the very beginning, it was Cao Jun's people who asked them to attack Hefei!

Like Pang Tong, Zhou Yu also saw the figure riding a red horse.

The red horse of the divine horse was so conspicuous that it reminded him of the man in Chaisang City.

The Yizhou envoy named Zhang Song scolded Jiangdong Qunhao for being a rat, and then went out and ran away on a red horse, and this matter has spread all over Jiangdong.

Now that Zhang Song appeared here and shouted such a slogan, it suddenly made his heart cold, and even his back was numb.

Rao is Lu Meng has read the least, and he has also figured out the trick, clenched his fists and said in annoyance: "Dadu Governor, our Jiangdong Qunhao was actually tricked by that Zhang Song!" ”

Lu Xun broke out in a cold sweat, and said sadly: "That person is not necessarily Zhang Song!" We don't know what the real name is! Li Song, Wang Song, Cao Song, all possible! ”

Lu Meng said: "Then Yizhou sent troops to attack Jiangling, I'm afraid it's also fake?" ”

Lu Xun angrily slammed the table and screamed: "Fake, it's all fake!" Now that I think about it, this person, as soon as he enters Chaisang City, is calculating us step by step! Fight Zhang Changshi and others to win the trust of the lord. Compile nursery rhymes to drive a wedge between the lord and the governor. Falsely claim to send troops and deceive us into attacking Hefei! One by one, one by one, they are all serial schemes, but we are known as the heroes, dozens of civil and military people are in Chaisang, and they were deceived by him alone! ”

Lu Meng drew his sword and said, "Shaft! He should have been slaughtered in Chaisang! ”

But if he really drew his sword and cut whom, there was no Zhang Song here, so he could only stomp his feet angrily.

Zhou Yu was already in a bad mood, but now when he saw the two future commanders he was optimistic about, he was angry and confused, and his heart was even more gloomy.

He sighed and said: "This person actually grasped our mentality, and used a yang scheme, but it's a pity that we didn't find out." ”

Lu Meng said: "I heard that when the lord came, he specially explained to the defenders and detained this person, how did he come out?" ”

Zhou Yu didn't know, so he ordered a herald and called Sun Quan in the rear to ask about the situation, and at the same time informed him of Chai Sang's deception.

The three of them continued to review the matter of Chaisang, and the more they reviewed, the more frightened they became, only to feel that there were so many handsome men in Chaisang, all of whom were blindfolded, and they only focused on the nursery rhyme, but they didn't understand that deceiving Sun Quan's army to Hefei was the ultimate goal of the plan.

The so-called strategy is to push the boat along the river. Asking mothers to kill their children is not a strategy. Let others see the purpose at a glance, but it is also a simple scheme. It is a strategy to cover up your true purpose through a series of efforts, and finally achieve twice the result with half the effort. The heroes and powers of the six counties of Jiangdong have their own thoughts, so they are easy to be used, and the other party starts from one gap after another and lays out all this.

Lu Meng said: "Then do you want to let Cheng Dudu return to the division?" But this time and again, the fighter plane has been delayed. It's hard to make such a decision. ”

Lu Xun shook his head and said, "Instead of worrying about Cheng Dudu, it's actually better to worry about our journey." We originally hoped that Yizhou would occupy Jiangling and cut off the back road of the Cao army, but now, no one has broken the back road, and the Cao army has a steady stream of supplies, so it will be difficult for us to attack in the future. ”

Lu Meng said: "Our sailors are invincible, Cao Cao is here, just press it!" ”

"Cao Jun claims to be one million, and it is estimated that there are 300,000 who can fight. Fighting 30,000 enemies is not the same as fighting 300,000 enemies. If we fight 30,000, we can divide and eat it, but if we can't finish 300,000, we will be exhausted to death, and we can't play at all. ”

Seeing that the two were arguing, Zhou Yu thought for a while, and finally finalized the strategy: "No matter what, Cheng Dudu's army has already killed Hefei, and then transfer people back, just to delay time." Let's send a letter to Cheng Dudu, asking him to be careful, I'd rather not be able to defeat Hefei than fall into the enemy's trap. Here, we must also be cautious and deal with the army of Cao thieves. ”

Lu Meng and Lu Xun nodded at the same time.

The three of them were on the river, and when they saw that Xiahou Yuan's remnants on the south bank had been re-raised, they turned their sails and fled upstream.

Lu Meng opened his mouth, but seeing that Zhou Yu had no intention of pursuing, he didn't say anything more.

In the end, Zhou Yujun only ate the remnants in the center of the river, and let Xiahou Yuan's more than 10,000 people escape.

The three of them were discussing the strategy, the soldiers reported it, and Pang Tong came to see him.

Before Zhou Yu could see it, Pang Tong had already hurried in.

As soon as he entered, he said, "Governor Zhou, did you hear the enemy's shouts?" The enemy made the soldiers shout, just to make us mess up the stitches, and call back General Cheng's troops, we must not be fooled! ”

Zhou Yu saw that Pang Tong's face was pale, knowing that he had also guessed the truth of the matter, and he didn't take any stand against this ally military division who was still his subordinate not long ago, and told him his established strategy.

Pang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, that's good, after General Cheng knows our information, he will definitely be able to hold up the battle in Hefei." In fact, the pressure is still on our way. The main force of the Cao thief is the most difficult to deal with. ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Master Pang has the same idea as us, and Cheng Dudu can only see the moves." ”

Pang Tong's eyes narrowed, and he said hatefully: "This Zhang Song is too hateful, he is unkind, so he can't blame our coalition army for being unjust." I have a strategy, which is to use the epidemic in Jiangxia to make Cao Jun sick. This strategy alone is worth more than 100,000 heroes! ”

The three of them looked at him sharply, and Pang Tong explained his arrangement.

Zhou Yu's eyes were dark, and Lu Xun's eyes were bright.

Lu Meng was overjoyed, and clapped his hands and said, "Master Pang has a good plan!" When the ships of the epidemic are ready, we will all send them to Cao Ying! ”

Pang Tong looked resentful and said, "Yes! ”

……

At night, Yang Laosan held the mound of soil and looked at the soldiers who copied another village in the distance, and his heart was cold.

These soldiers have collected many corpses that have died from the epidemic.

Not far away, a general with a black cloth on his face was directing the villagers to carry the corpses and transport them all to the ship.
