Chapter 68: Reactions from all sides
A few days ago, Pang Tong advised Liu Bei to use the epidemic to attack Cao's army, but Liu Bei did not accept it. However, Pang Tong deeply felt Liu Bei's kindness, and even made his own decision, secretly sent Mi Fang to lead people across the river, look for people who had the epidemic, put together several batches, and sent them to Cao Ying.
He expected that Jiangxia would be chaotic at this time, and no one would stop him from robbing some villages, who would have thought that his plan would be destroyed again.
Pang Tong was depressed in his heart and had already had a knot in his heart.
Lu Meng watched coldly, only to feel that although this Pang Tong had a lot of wisdom, he was restrained everywhere, and he was disdainful in his heart, but he comforted him: "Listening to what General Mi said, I'm afraid that Xiahou Yuan is making trouble." Now that our army is understaffed, I am afraid that we can only let the remnants of Xiahou Yuan occupy those villages. β
Pang Tong still did not give up, and argued with LΓΌ Meng on the basis of reason, and finally the two discussed, and Liu Bei's general Chen Zhi led Liu Bei's army of 500 people to continue to carry out epidemic-related matters, while Mi Fang stayed here to replace Chen Zhi's position.
In Liu Beijun, Chen Zhi's reputation is not obvious, but his strength is extremely strong, and his courage is very strong, and he should have the strength to fight against Xiahou Yuan.
In fact, only 500 people were sent, Pang Tong was still not at ease, he stared at some of the remnants brought back by Mi Fang, and had a plan in his heart.
β¦β¦
In Xiakou City, Liu Bei learned that Zhou Yu had won a great victory in the first battle, and he was very happy, and he came down from the city tower and happened to meet Lu Su.
"Zijing, General Gongjin really broke the enemy by talking and laughing, in this way, the country is saved!"
Liu Bei happily grabbed Lu Su's hand, but seeing that Lu Su was not happy, he wondered: "Zijing, what's wrong?" β
Lu Su said: "There are some changes in our army, and my lord is going east to Hefei." β
"Why?"
Liu Bei was curious.
Since Zhou Yu let Liu Bei get on the ship that day, Sun Quan has been stationed in the rear with a thousand men, and will not see Liu Bei in the future.
Liu Bei had already seen Zhou Yu, but he didn't go to see Sun Quan.
So these two lords looked at each other across the river, but they didn't meet in person.
Liu Bei thought that now that he had won a big victory, it was a good time to meet, but he didn't expect Sun Quan to leave.
Lu Su shook his head and said: "It's inconvenient to say more about the details, it's just that the lord is afraid that my East Route Army Cheng Pudu will attack Hefei, and he will make a bad calculation, so he personally went to supervise the battle." β
Liu Bei sighed when he heard this: "I have been friends with Zhongmou God for a long time, and it seems that I can only wait for the victory of the Great War to see you again." β
He climbed the tower again and saw that the big ship with Sun Quan's flag had set sail.
Liu Bei bowed from afar, and the excitement of hearing the victory just now was all gone.
At this moment, the Seventh Army supervised by Zhao Yan was already attacking the mouth, and Zhang Fei was fighting hard there.
After Guan Yu fell from Shiyang City, his life and death were still unknown.
Cao Jun is like Mount Tai at the top, and the rise and fall of the world is only in Zhou Yu's thoughts.
Now that Sun Quan is gone, Liu Bei feels that in this world, he is the only one left alone.
He summoned Jian Yong and Liu Yan, explained it, and went to see off Sun Qian, who was about to leave.
At the gate of the city, Sun Qian is waiting here.
Liu Bei and Sun Qian repeatedly explained that they could only let the Southern Xiongnu build momentum, and they could not let the Southern Xiongnu really invade the territory and plunder the people.
Sun Qian nodded yes.
He thought in his heart that what the military advisor said was right, the lord was just too merciful. Now that life and death are at stake, why bother with those shackles, what about foreigners, if they can help support the Han family, they are good people.
I think that Jin Riyan is not also a foreigner, and he has to be entrusted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he is worthy of China in his life.
In the smoke and dust, Sun Gan carried the tips of the military advisor Pang Tong, rode a fast horse, one person and one horse, and embarked on the journey north to the South Xiongnu alone.
β¦β¦
On the other side, on the big boat, Sun Quan was looking at the head of Xiakou City from afar.
There was no one around, and his expression was gloomy.
He had already been analyzed by Zhou Yu and others, knew that Zhang Song was fake, and got Sun Ben's message, knew that Zhang Song had run away, and even kidnapped Xiao Qiao.
He suppressed the news and didn't send it to Zhou Yu, because he was afraid that Zhou Yu would worry and mess up.
But now, Sun Quan knew that he had been tricked as a monkey, and he was depressed.
"Hefei 100,000 people give ......"
Sun Quan snorted coldly, that Zhang Song really deceived him so hard, and he also introduced him as a confidant in vain, and now it seems that he was like a clown in those days.
That guy not only played with himself, but also did a set in front of him and behind his back, at that time, he said that he should give birth to a son like Sun Zhongmou, but behind his back he said that he gave away people's heads!
A few days ago, Sun Quan thought that Zhang Song was the only confidant he had met in his life, but now, Zhang Song has become his greatest enemy. If you don't avenge this revenge, you swear not to be a man!
Zhang Song is fake, but the rift between the Jiangdong ministers has already arisen, and there is no going back.
Just like himself, he knows that the nursery rhyme is fake, but he still needs to guard against Zhou Yugong's master.
This time, he came out to supervise the battle in the back, which was a kind of containment of Zhou Yu. However, Cheng Pu was very uneasy.
Among all of them, only the eldest sister-in-law, Da Qiao, can still make him trust.
He inherited the family business at the age of nineteen, and his eldest sister-in-law helped him gather the foundation of his eldest brother, so that all the ministers and generals would return to their hearts, and made great contributions.
Knowing that he had been deceived, he immediately found Da Qiao and informed him of the specific situation.
Da Qiao was also pale, thinking that he was getting along with that Zhang Song day and night, and he didn't even notice the other party's plan at all, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that Sun Quan was even more anxious than herself, she calmed down and calmed down.
"Quan'er, sister-in-law wants to hear the truth from you, Zhou Gongjin...... Do you still trust him? β
Sun Quan was stunned for a long time, pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Gong Jin commands the navy, like an arm, I trust." β
Da Qiao looked at Sun Quan's eyes and looked straight at him for a long time, Sun Quan finally said: "It's just the foundation of the Sun family......"
"I see."
Da Qiao smiled bitterly and nodded, she finally figured out that the lord of Jiangdong had chosen to be high and chose to embark on the road of balancing the ministers.
In other words, Sun Quan would no longer trust any of his courtiers.
Zhang Song, Zhang Song, in just a few days, you have awakened the tiger in Sun Quan's heart.
Da Qiao immediately decided: "So, how about I supervise Gongjin for Quan'er?" β
"Good! Gongjin is the eldest sister-in-law, and the eldest sister-in-law is willing to go, so it is naturally the best! β
When the two separated, Sun Quan looked at Da Qiao for a long time.
This is probably the last time he will say heart-to-heart words to his eldest sister-in-law, and from now on, he will only believe in himself.
He will go to Cheng Pu's army to supervise the battle, he wants to see how Sun Zhongmou can send 100,000 heads!
β¦β¦
Zhang Yun knelt down in Cao Cao's military tent with a disgraced face.
After listening to him talk about the course of this battle, the forward army was defeated in a battle, more than 10,000 people died, and the other side also got a lot of ships, and some of the generals were disdainful, some were angry, and some were terrified, and they whispered to each other.
Cao Cao sat high on the main seat, closed his eyes and recuperated, and could not see joy and anger.
Cheng Yu's eyes burned and said, "Then Zhou Yu's water master, is it really so easy to advance and retreat?" β
"It's not that I evade the responsibility of failure, it's just that Zhou Yu's sailor really ordered and forbidden, Zhou Yu's flag moved, and many ships were like arms and fingers, and the formation changed, without the slightest mistake!"
As he was talking, Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at him.
With just one glance, Zhang Yunru fell into an ice cave.
He directly bowed to the ground, and kept turning his head and said: "This matter has been seen by all the people in our army, please see it clearly!" β
Cai Mao saw that the situation was not right, and said: "My lord, General Zhang's command of the navy, on this Yangtze River, can also be in the forefront, he has lost, proving that Zhou Yu is indeed powerful, please take a clear look!" β
Cao Cao snorted coldly, and Cai Mao immediately fell to his knees.
The generals who were still discussing with each other just now also stopped.
For a while, up and down the military tent, the silence could be heard, and no general dared to make a move, as if it was a dead domain.
"Go on."
Cao Cao only said three words, and then closed his eyes again.
In the winter, Zhang Yun saw sweat on his face, he had already said everything that should be said, how could there be anything to say?
However, Cai Mao was alert, thought of a rumor, and reminded: "General Zhang is on the south bank and has met General Beifu?" β
Zhang Yun immediately replied: "Yes, yes, General Beifu called on us to light a fire and scared off Zhou Yu's army, and the credit is outstanding!" β
Then, he said that his army suffered from a plague, which caused the morale to be low during the march, but fortunately, Cao Wu discovered the other party's calculations and led Xiahou Yuan to solve it.
After describing these things in detail, he saw that Cao Cao on the main seat smiled.
At first it was just a low chuckle, then it burst out laughing.
Then the generals suddenly came to life, some laughed, some flattered, and the military tent was so lively, and they came to life again in an instant from the dead realm.
A tent of civil and military, placed outside, are all people who stomp a foot and are convinced, but in this military tent, they are all happy and angry because of Cao Cao's anger.
The several shots of the general of Beifu made the hearts of the few people who knew that Cao Wu was capable in the big tent feel at ease, and also made the people who knew Cao Wu powerful for the first time impressed.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun glanced at each other, panic and emotion in their hearts, it turned out that this Beifu general had such a heavy position in Cao Cao's heart.
The two knew that Cao Cao did not treat the generals badly, but first of all, he had to be a capable person, and if he was not capable enough, it would be impossible to get ahead in Cao Ying.
They surrendered from Jingzhou for their own future, so they had to secretly decide that they would work harder to train the navy in the future.
When everyone was almost done, Xun You stood up and organized everyone to summarize the enemy's strategy.
Jia Xu closed his eyes and recuperated and did not participate in the whole process, Cheng Yu put forward several ideas of naval warfare, but they were all rejected by the generals, because these ideas sound easy, but they are difficult to implement.
In the end, Xun You said: "Lord, we will discuss, if what General Zhang said is true, then there is only a strong attack, directly press the army, let him have more changes, I will only break it with force!" β
Cao Cao rubbed the corners of his forehead, nodded and said: "That's it, attacking it is the right way of war." But ......"
He nodded at the Yangtze River sand table in front of him, and continued: "Calculate the time, the things that can win Zhou Yu should also arrive." β
β¦β¦
With a loud bang, a huge warship came out of the tributary of the Yangtze River and jumped into the rolling Yangtze River.
Cao Asi on the battleship wiped his gray face and said happily: "After so many days, these three big guys have finally been transported to the Yangtze River!" β
The three five-tooth ships arrived as scheduled, sailing down the river at a very fast speed, heading for the main battlefield!
