Zhou Yu, who returned to the barracks, was puzzled why Zhao Chen would tell him such important information about the night attack in person.

He couldn't tell if what Zhao Chen said was just a joke or if he really attacked at night.

After all, Zhou Yu didn't know anything about Zhao Chen, and the only information he knew was the two battles between Huaipu and Huaiyin that Sun Ce said.

"With such a decisive move, will a brave and resourceful person tell the night attack bluntly?"

Sun Ce was originally straight, and in the face of Zhou Yu's hesitation, he hurriedly said: "Gong Jin, whether he comes or not, we are all ready in the camp, and nothing goes wrong." ”

"Bo Fu, having said that, it takes a lot of energy to deal with the night attack, which is not conducive to long-term combat, if Liu Beijun has not attacked at night, sleeps soundly to recuperate, and launches a general attack the next day, won't our army have to fight day after day, and will lose to Liu Beijun in terms of physical strength and momentum."

"Then don't prepare, even if Liu Beijun comes, with such a strong camp as ours, he won't be able to attack it."

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "If you don't prepare, Liu Beijun really attacks at night, won't our army have to suffer losses in vain?" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he instantly lost his temper: "What does this Zhao Chen mean, dare to tease me?" ”

Zhou Yu thought for a moment, and said helplessly: "I can only prepare first, and then think about how to deal with it." ”

At this time, in Liu Bei's camp on the other side, Guan Yu's face was pale, and his eyes were full of worry.

Since following Liu Bei on the battlefield, Guan Yu has basically been in the north, and the people who fought with him are all soldiers from the north.

The terrain of the Central Plains is different from the south of the Yangtze River, at a glance it is a horse flat river, it is common to gallop horses and gallop thousands of miles, but it is very rare to go into the water and take a boat and pass through the waters, so there is a saying that "the northerners take horses, and the southerners take boats".

Although Guan Yu has seen countless battles large and small, the people he faces are also varied, from Lu Bu, the world's most powerful general, to ordinary soldiers, he has seen Cao Cao's iron cavalry, and he has also seen Gao Shun's trapped camp, but he has never seen the powerful sailors in Jiangnan, and he has not even experienced the battle on the river.

Faced with the camp built by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu Yishui, Guan Yu hesitated. Sun Ce's camp was built so strongly, and there was water outside the camp, he didn't know how to start at all.

If there was a land battle, Guan Yu would not be afraid of Sun Ce's 10,000 even if there were only 500 people.

But this is on the Phoenix River, he can only rely on the boat to cross it, stand on the boat to fight, let alone a thousand people, even if he gives Guan Yu 10,000 people, he is not sure at all.

He even suspected that his hasty night raid would cost the lives of a thousand of his brothers in vain.

At this moment, Guan Yu regretted his impulsiveness a little, and he shouldn't have followed his temper to make an impossible military order.

Could it be that his own head is going to be handed over to Zhao Chen?

He was unwilling, why should he be looked down upon by a child in his early twenties, and why should he listen to the command of a child in his early twenties.

Liu Bei, who was on the side, noticed Guan Yu's strange appearance, and asked, "The second brother is in a trance, his face is not moist, is his body uncomfortable?" ”

Guan Yu shook his head and replied, "It's okay, big brother don't worry." ”

"Since this is the case, let's discuss the strategy of dealing with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu together."

It turned out that Liu Bei also had questions, and he really couldn't understand why Zhao Chen wanted to tell Zhou Yu about the night attack.

He asked Zhao Chen: "I don't know what the military advisor means, tonight's night attack on our army has not been clear, why do you want to inform Zhou Yu?" ”

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Guan Yu's mind, and he hurriedly followed his eldest brother's words and asked, "What does the military advisor mean by informing Zhou Yu of tonight's actions in person?" Could it be that he was afraid that he would fail and lose his position as a military advisor, and he did such a shameless act, just because he didn't want Guan to win? ”

Zhao Chen heard it, this was Guan Yu who wanted to cover up his hesitation and took the lead in attacking him.

Chen Zhi on the side stood up and said: "General Guan's courage is well known, and he dares to make a military order in the face of a strong enemy, and my uncle admires it. I've known the military advisor for more than a month, just like all of you, but I don't think the military advisor is such a person. We have already experienced the strategy of the military advisor, and I think the military advisor must have his own ideas. Why don't you listen to what the military advisor has to say? ”

Chen Zhi's support for Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen was very pleased.

There is an obvious difference between the two, Chen Zhi is truly convinced of Zhao Chen, and he can implement Zhao Chen's instructions 100%. And Guan Yu can have his own ideas, although this is a good thing, but if he is not convinced, it will affect the entire strategy. This is exactly what Zhao Chen is worried about.

In the face of Chen Zhi's persuasion, Guan Yu not only did not appreciate it, but squinted at Chen Dao with small eyes, and said disdainfully: "You are just a guard under my eldest brother's door, if it weren't for Zhao Chen's guidance, you would not be qualified to lead the army, let alone stand here and talk to us." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhi's face changed suddenly, and the atmosphere in the camp fell to freezing point.

Zhao Chen wanted to come forward to explain for Chen Zhi, but when he looked back, it was inconvenient for him to come forward at this time. If he stood up to support Chen Dao, in Liu Bei's eyes, it would become a small group, and he was most worried about the way of the king, and he was most worried about the courtiers forming a party for personal gain, which was absolutely undesirable.

He could only look at Liu Bei, believing that he would come out to ease the atmosphere.

Sure enough, Liu Bei heard Guan Yu's wild words and accused: "Second brother Hugh is talking nonsense, Uncle Zhi and you are both vital generals in our army. The military advisor has a discerning eye and talent, and promoted the uncle to the end of the army, and the uncle has never lived up to the trust of the military advisor and me, and he is brave and invincible. When you go to the battlefield, you rely on each other, and when you work together, you must not shout at each other, which hinders unity. ”

Listening to Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu didn't say more.

Chen Zhi hurriedly knelt down and thanked: "Uncle Zhi thank you for the trust of the lord, and I will go all out to repay the lord's kindness." ”

Zhao Chen had to admire Liu Bei's skill in winning people's hearts, and let Guan Yu shut up in a few words, and let Chen Zhi receive favors, not forgetting the role Zhao Chen played in it.

In the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, it is estimated that there is no second person who can have such skills.

Liu Bei helped Chen Dao up, then turned around and asked again: "Please also ask the military advisor to solve our doubts." ”

Zhao Chen smiled slightly, he had already noticed Guan Yu's abnormal performance, but it was inconvenient to point it out for the sake of face.

Every time Sun Ce's army was mentioned, Guan Yu's expression would become nervous. Zhao Chen understood that the military order must have been made and saw that it could not be completed, so he was worried in his heart.

He said: "My lord, General Guan's night attack is very important, I see that Sun Ce's camp is strong, and it is difficult to break through the frontal raid, I don't know what kind of plan General Guan has, can a thousand people break 10,000?" ”

Faced with Zhao Chen's question, Guan Yu was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond.

After Zhao Chen's point, Liu Bei suddenly understood why Guan Yu was different.

"Second brother, Xianhe and Houde both feel that Sun Ce's water village is strong and cannot be broken through, so it is better for us to think in the long run, so as not to lose a big one because of a small one."

Seeing that the eldest brother paved the steps for himself, Guan Yu was embarrassed if he didn't go down again.

"Big brother, I listen to you."

Liu Bei nodded, this second brother is not too strong, and there is still room to save the land.

Zhao Chen said earlier that as long as Guan Yu can change his arrogant personality, he can become a handsome person on the side.

Bow your head today is the best start.

Then Liu Bei turned his head to look at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen knew in his heart that everyone was angry with the military order this time, and since Guan Yu was the first to retreat, he Zhao Chen also had to express something.

He began to introduce his plan: "Lord, everyone, be uneasy. On the other side, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's camp was wide and strong, and it was indeed difficult to break through head-on. ”

Everyone unconsciously glanced at the other side through the gap in the tent.

"Strategist, what should I do? Now our army can't take a detour, and it is not advisable to attack the camp, how to get through this small Chen Village? ”

Zhao Chen replied: "But Chen has a way, which can not only satisfy General Guan's night attack of thousands of cavalry, but also allow our army to win." ”

Liu Bei became interested when he heard this, if the powerful Sun Ce could be defeated, it meant that they would be able to gain a firm foothold in Guangling.

When Guan Yu heard this, there was an instant light in his eyes. After all, the military order is real, and if you can't do it, you have to follow the military order.

"Strategist, please come quickly."

"Strategist, does this have anything to do with telling Zhou Yu about the night attack?"

……

The crowd asked questions.

Zhao Chen said slowly: "Most of our army are northerners, good at riding horses and archery, but they are not proficient in water warfare, and seasickness is common. And Sun Ce and Zhou Yu set up camp at the mouth of the river, which was to force our army to fight with him in the water, so as to attack the shortcomings of our army with his strengths. If our army wants to win, we must lure Zhou Yu and Sun Ce ashore as much as possible. ”

The crowd nodded.

"And what does this have to do with the night raid?"

Zhao Chen smiled mysteriously: "The night attack was just for me to scare Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. ”

The crowd was dumbfounded.
