Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 404 Zhou Yu’s Eastward Journey
With Lu Su here in Lujiang, Cao Ang can rest assured.

As for Jiujiang, Cao Ang was temporarily handed over to Cheng Yu. As long as he didn't eat people, he could do whatever he wanted.

Then Bu Zhao also went to Jiujiang to see how well Bu Lianshi's clan uncle handled government affairs. If possible, it would be a good arrangement to let him assist Lu Su in governing these two counties.

Finally, the armies of these two counties were led by Chen Dao, who was awarded the title of General Bai Chen.

Cao Ang himself was busy dealing with tea trees.

It is already the autumn harvest season, and the tea trees cannot be transplanted on a large scale until next spring.

At this moment, Cao Ang was just visiting the spot in advance, taking the four girls Yuan Hao, Bu Lianshi, Qiao Ying, and Qiao Lian with him to go out for fun.

That day, after Cao Ang left Shouchun and went to Wan County, Xiao Qiao went to find Yuan Han and wanted to ask him how to achieve good things between himself and Cao Ang.

Three women surrounded one man and talked for several days, and in the end the relationship became more intimate.

However, just when Xiao Qiao was happily waiting for Cao Ang to come back, before Cao Ang could come back first, Master Bu came back first.

Looking at the new step trainer, Xiao Qiao felt a sense of crisis.

However, Cao Ang turned around and took them out for a trip, which caused the two of them to lose the opportunity to get close to Cao Ang.

After all, you can't go into the woods, right?

……

Outside Yuzhang City, Sun Ce, Jiang Qin and Cheng Pu looked into the distance with anxious faces.

On the night when Zhou Yu was talking to his father, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce learned that Zhou Yu was coming, he was extremely excited and sent scouts to the road every day to investigate.

Finally, his scouts came back and told him that Zhou Yu was coming soon.

So he brought his two lieutenants from the city to greet him.

Sun Ce saw Zhou Yu from a distance and hurriedly greeted him: "Gong Jin!"

"Bo Fu!" Zhou Yu rode on his horse and waved to Sun Ce from a distance.

After the two got closer, they hit each other to express the friendship they still retained after not seeing each other for many years.

Sun Ce welcomed Zhou Yu into the city, and then laid out a banquet to welcome him.

Although Jiang Qin and Cheng Pu didn't quite understand why their young master was so kind to this young man, they couldn't say anything because of their status.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu was very charming and quickly integrated into the Sun Group.

Sun Ce was not polite and directly threw the issue of Jingzhou Army and Huang Zhong away.

Zhou Yu looked at the map of Yuzhang County, and after thinking about it for a while, he came up with a plan.

"Cai Mao's army is all stationed by the river at the foot of the mountain. At first glance, it looks like it is blocking our only route forward, but in fact it is not."

"Send troops tonight, bypass the rear of Cai Mao's camp, wait until dawn, and then send troops to attack from the front. Then Cai Hao's Jingzhou Army will be severely defeated under attack from two sides!"

As Zhou Yu finished speaking, others, including Sun Ce, were a little surprised.

Cheng Pu even asked directly: "Zhou Lang, how do we go around to the back of their camp? If we want to go around the mountain next to it, it will take a lot of time."

"And I sent scouts to investigate. On that road, Cai Mao also sent heavy troops to guard it!" Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this: "General Cheng, you can think of going around the mountain road, can't you think of going around the waterway?"

As Zhou Yu finished speaking, everyone finally reacted.

Originally, they were all distracted by the fighting generals Huang Zhong and Sun Ce in front of the formation, and completely ignored the possibility of advancing by water.

Zhou Yu continued to speak amidst everyone's surprised gazes: "I, Jiangdong Erlang, are all very good at water. I selected 1 people and swam up the river in batches at night to the rear of Cai Mao's military camp and set up an ambush."

"One day when all 1 people swim over, we will launch an attack the next morning!"

When Cheng Pu heard this, he patted his chest and said: "Zhou Lang, leave this matter to me. I will go and choose a good hand. I will swim over tonight under the cover of darkness and attack tomorrow!"

Zhou Yu looked at Cheng Pu's impatient look and couldn't help but feel helpless: "General Cheng, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Can I not be anxious about this? My lord has become the governor of Yangzhou, but there are Tao Qian and Liu Bei in Wu County, Lu Bu in Danyang, and Cai Mao in Yuzhang. This governor is not worthy of his name!"

Cheng Pu said with a sad look on his face.

Although the generals of the Sun Group are not very good at fighting in front of the battle, their ability to fight in water is extremely strong and their loyalty is very high.

Zhou Yu glanced at Cheng Pu, and then looked at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce met Zhou Yu's gaze and smiled and said, "You decide for yourself. I will appoint you as military advisor. All matters in the army, big and small, will be at your disposal!"

As soon as these words came out, the people around were shocked.

Especially Cheng Pu and Jiang Qin, they never expected that Sun Ce would give Zhou Yu such power.

But Sun Ce knew that his good brother was so talented that even being a military advisor felt like he was underqualified!

With Sun Ce delegating power, Zhou Yu boldly began to mobilize the Jiangdong Army in Yuzhang City.

Ten thousand good men were selected, led by Cheng Pu, and swam across the river to ambush the rear of Cai Mao's army.

As for him and Sun Ce, after everyone had arranged to go there, they went to challenge in front of the formation the next day to attract the attention of the Jingzhou army and give the Jiangdong army crossing the river a chance to make a sneak attack.

……

Cheng Pu was very efficient in his work. It really only took him two hours, Zi Shi and Chou Shi, to take all the ten thousand sergeants across the river.

The next day, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, as agreed, directly led their troops to challenge.

When Huang Zhong saw Sun Ce coming to call for formation, he rode out: "Sun Bofu, we have been fighting for so many days, and you and I still can't tell the winner. Today, don't blame my men for being ruthless and using my under saddle. The carved bow!"

At this time, Huang Zhong and Sun Ce were in a state of sympathy, but it was a pity that their camps were in opposition, which forced them to keep taking action.

And Huang Zhong reminded him, it was precisely because of this, otherwise he could have fired a cold arrow.

The bow Huang Zhong used was a seven-stone bow, which was called a seven-hundred-stone bow in the army. Although it could not penetrate a stone without feathers, it could still penetrate a poplar with a hundred steps.

The armor Sun Ce was wearing could not stop Huang Zhong's bow and arrows at all.

After Huang Zhong reminded Sun Ce, he took the initiative.

When Sun Ce saw this, he rushed forward without hesitation, and the two fought fiercely together again.

Cheng Pu, who was hiding behind Cai Mao's military camp, heard the sound of the drum beating and knew that the time had come for him to take action!
