Chapter 197: The Date of the Expedition

The generals began to discuss, the shadow of the famous tree, the battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu was defeated and counterattacked, almost destroying the main force of the Cao army, all those who had experienced that battle were apprehensive.

Cao Wu not only called out his name again, but also said hatefully: "If it weren't for the general of Beifu that day, our army might have been completely wiped out, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, I can't wait to eat his flesh raw!" ”

Zhang He was not on the main battlefield in Chibi, but when he heard Zhou Yu's name, he still supported him: "Since the battlefield is right again, this time, he will definitely have no return!" ”

When Cao Wu pointed out Zhou Yu's name, Lu Xun was still a little flustered, afraid that the depressed atmosphere just now would be one step closer, but now the reaction of the generals surprised him.

Cao Wu understands what the generals are saying better than him, these generals, except for Jing Nan, which one is not licking blood from the knife, will be cautious and afraid, but will not be robbed of their ambition.

Even if the enemy is twice as large as them, they are only complaining, and they will never lose confidence because of this, and in this case, bringing out Zhou Yu, a strong enemy, just makes them excited, and they have enough morale for the next battle.

After they talked for a while, Cao Wu waved his hand and pressed it, this small action made everyone, including the general Jingnan, stop talking, and everyone looked up at him.

Unconsciously, Cao Wu already had a prestige comparable to Cao Cao, which was the prestige brought to him by successive victories in Jingzhou.

"Everyone said well, just Zhou Yu, we naturally don't have to pay attention to it! Now that the epidemic disease in the army has gradually stabilized, and the state of water and soil adaptation has decreased, it is the time to use soldiers. The four counties of Shixie have just changed masters, so we can't wait for them to entrap everyone before attacking, but we should take the initiative to attack when they are not ready. On the one hand, it caused a momentum and made the original Shixie's subordinates of the grass on the wall cling to us, and on the other hand, put pressure on the three brothers of the Shi family to make mistakes in their busyness. ”

Cao Wu said a lot of words, all of which were talking about the reason for taking the initiative to march.

The congregation listened carefully, and no one refuted.

"So, I decided that in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, after the morning meal, the army will pull out the camp and attack Yulin County first, and go straight to Jiaozhi, what do you think?"

Cao Wu announced his decision.

The generals were originally aroused by Zhou Yu's fame, and now they heard that they were going to go on an expedition, and they immediately geared up.

Cao Wu said again: "This Jiangdong expedition, not only Zhou Yu is in the army, but also Gan Ning, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong and other generals. Are you scared? ”

"I'm afraid of the seeds!"

Xing Daorong was the first to stand up: "A certain family is willing to be a pioneer!" ”

"Good! Then General Xing and General Huang will be the vanguard, open the way to Yulin County, and give the three Shijia brothers in Jiaozhi a surprise first! ”

"That's exactly how it should be!"

Huang Zhong immediately stood up and said heroically: "I hope that the Nashi family and Jiangdong will not be vulnerable, otherwise the old man will enter the Dragon Weaving City!" ”

The generals laughed and praised Huang Zhong's good momentum.

Seeing that the emotions of the generals were mobilized, Cao Wu felt that his morale was available, and said with a smile: "Then the morning after tomorrow, all the armies will go together!" ”

"Whoa!"

The crowd agreed.

After that, all the generals went to busy their own affairs, and this expedition will no longer face the weak Cangwu soldiers, but the elite of Jiangdong, and they all need to make some preparations.

This time, because there was no enemy army in the Cangwu Grain Road, Cao Wu planned to let Yu Ban lead 3,000 people to patrol the counties of the Grain Road, so that he could free the men and horses of Biqiu Jian and Xu Huang to support the front line.

In the end, Cao's army mobilized a total of 20,000 people, and the soldiers and horses of Cangwu soldiers and counties and the previous troops gathered 15,000, a total of 35,000 people, and set off two days later.

After agreeing on the itinerary, Cao Wu and Lu Xun came out of the main hall together and went all the way to a small courtyard.

This is exactly where Zhao Yun was after he was seriously injured.

When Cao Wu came, he happened to meet Ah Shi coming out, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Ah Shi looked tired, shook his head and said, "I haven't woken up yet, I only live by feeding some rice porridge every day, but there should be no major life." ”

She sighed: "Speaking of which, I have never seen anyone so seriously injured and still have such vigorous vitality. ”

Cao Wu nodded and asked her to rest, this time Ah Shi was not humble, obviously very tired.

After walking 3,000 miles in three days, and insisting on treating Zhao Yun and dispensing medicine to the soldiers here, she was indeed too tired.

But Cao Wu has no other way, the doctor is too lowly in this era, except for people like him who have a vision far beyond the times, few people will study medicine, and if they learn, they are accompanied by some witchcraft, not serious medicine.

He suddenly remembered a woman who was willing to study medicine.

But he quickly shook his head and returned his mind to the courtyard in front of him.

He entered the room and looked, the penetrating wound on Zhao Yun's back that was visible to the bone had been bandaged by Ah Shi, Zhao Yun closed his eyes, and his breathing was even but weak.

Cao Wu understood that Mi Zhen would bring Adou over every day, and say a few words to Zhao Yun in this room, all about how Liu Bei took a fancy to Adou, if Zhao Yun couldn't hold on, he and Adou would be unable to save their lives.

Cao Wu and Mi Zhen don't know whether this behavior is useful or not, but a dead horse is a live horse doctor, thinking of Zhao Yun in and out of Changban Slope in his previous life, maybe Zhao Yun needs such a stimulus to stay alive.

In the previous persuasion, Mi Zhen had promised Zhao Yun to persuade him to serve Cao Wu temporarily after waking up, so Cao Wu had been looking forward to Changshan Zhao Zilong returning to the battlefield.

Cao Wu looked at it for a while and walked out of the courtyard.

Lu Xun waited outside and didn't go in, Cao Wu glanced at him and asked, "Don't be under pressure to fight against Zhou Yu." ”

Lu Xun said helplessly: "Governor Zhou...... Zhou Gongjin is not a few years older than me, but his wisdom is much higher than me, I am afraid that it will be difficult to beat him. ”

"It's okay, there's me and Kong Ming. You may not be unable to defeat him, you just lack accumulation, and if you have been on the battlefield for a long time, you can also fight a famous battle. Burning Wuximan, the results of that battle are not enough after all! ”

Lu Xun, who had nothing to say, was ambitious, and he puffed up his chest and said, "I still have to give it a try after all." ”

……

In the dragon city, Zhou Yu stood at the head of the city, looking at the scenery in the distance.

In order to be able to stand here, he has been laying out for several years, and he has opened the door of the three brothers of the Shi family since a few years ago.

Shi Xie had occupied the position of the head of the Shi family for too long, so long that the three brothers were already discouraged, but Zhou Yu took advantage of their point accurately, and finally leveraged their actions.

Poor Shixie didn't understand why his brother was so close to him that he betrayed him.

But it doesn't matter, Zhou Yu thought to himself, when he wins this battle, there is no need for Shixie to stay.

Chaotic cross-toes are easier to control.

Jiaozhi is not completely settled, and the three brothers of the Shi family are still lobbying everywhere, but this is already a matter of time.

Now, there is only one question in front of Zhou Yu, when to send troops, where to engage Cao's army, what terrain to use, and what method to win.
