Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 45: Zhou Lang was plotted, it’s hateful, Zhuge used me, Zhou Yu, as a pawn!

"Report to the Governor!"

"Zhang Ling and Nan County sent envoys with a lot of money, food and cloth to reward the three armies. Please give me your supervision!"

The day after Zhou Yu occupied Changsha, he received gifts from Zhangling and Nanjun.

"Grand Governor, what do you mean by this? We have always been at odds with Jingzhou. We have been at war with each other for many years and it has never stopped. How come we took his Changsha, and instead of raising troops to avenge him, he came to celebrate and reward us with sheep and wine? "

Han Dang frowned and thought, not knowing what he meant.

Zhou Yu smiled and turned to look at Lu Meng: "Ziming, what do you think of this matter?"

Lu Meng was discussing the matter with Lu Xun. When he heard this, he turned around and smiled softly: "Now Jingzhou is no longer a Jingzhou! Each state and county is independent of each other. Since Liu Biao died, it has long since fallen apart and is no longer the same!"

"These two county guards came to bring gifts. They obviously wanted to win over the governor and please him. Firstly, they hoped that the governor would be merciful and temporarily suspend their troops and not attack him. Secondly, if the situation is not good in the future, maybe I will also take the initiative to dedicate my two counties to the Grand Governor in order to seek my protection from Jiangdong."

Zhou Yu burst out laughing, stroking his hands and saying, "The one who knows me is Lu Ziming!"

Instruct the sergeant below: "Accept the gift so that I can comfort them!"

"After dinner, take them to visit the military affairs of my camp and let them know the power of my Jiangdong!"

Lu Xun stepped forward and bowed in salute: "Great Governor, this matter is of great importance. Although I am not talented, I am willing to go and receive the envoy in person."

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement, and Lu Xun followed the sergeant out of the tent.

"Grand Governor, Zhangling County and Nan County are closest to us. They have neither heavy troops nor famous generals. Let's take advantage of the victory and pursue them. We can defeat them in two days!"

"A man should be born to take plunder, so why should he expect them to surrender on their own?"

The veteran Huang Gai has been studying the surrounding situation since he captured Changsha, so he has a relatively thorough understanding of the situation in the two counties.

"No need, no!"

Zhou Yu hurriedly waved his hands and rejected Huang Gai's opinion directly.

"The Commander-in-Chief sent out an army to attack Changsha with a might as powerful as a rainbow, capable of swallowing up the world, the sun and the moon. Why did he no longer have the will to fight after winning Changsha? Could it be that I, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, was so full after eating just one piece of Changsha?"

Huang Gai was filled with anger and said loudly.

"Fair!"

"If you have something to say, why should you be so angry? Don't rush into the Governor..."

Han Dang and Huang Gai's long-time comrades beside him, both of whom were veterans of Sun Jian's time, hurriedly spoke to stop Huang Gai.

He had always known that Zhou Yu's military orders were the most stringent, and punishments were treated equally without any partiality.

Because of this, the generals of the three armies and the hundreds of thousands of sailors all respected him and never dared to do anything rude in front of him!

Zhou Yu's face darkened, he looked down at the sword at his waist, his brows gradually raised!

Seeing this, Lu Meng hurried forward and grabbed Huang Gai's sleeve.

"Old general, come with me!"

Huang Gai didn't know what was going on, so he followed Lu Meng for a few steps and came to the sand table.

"Old General, look carefully!"

"Although Zhangling County, the southern county, is very close to us, Liu Bei and Chen have thirty thousand troops in Xiangyang in the north, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun in the south, leading fifty thousand troops, are watching eagerly!"

As Lu Meng spoke, he pointed at the map again: "What if you look to the east?"

Huang Gai's expression changed drastically, and he no longer had the domineering attitude before, and he whispered: "Liu Qi of Jiangxia has a hundred thousand naval troops..."

Lu Meng nodded and said in a deep voice: "If I advance lightly, even if I go down to the second county, I will give up my retreat! If either Jiangxia or Guiyang capture Changsha, I will be surrounded by all sides. There is a danger of the whole army being annihilated!" "Now the commander-in-chief has stationed troops in Changsha. He can advance, attack, retreat or defend. He has no good plans. How can you show no military discipline and disrupt the morale of the army in front of the generals?"

"If the Commander-in-Chief punishes you, then as a veteran minister, you will lose all face. How will you be able to establish yourself in Jiangdong in the future! But if you are not punished, the Commander-in-Chief will lose his prestige, and how can you order the three armies?"

While the two were talking, suddenly Zhou Yu called Lu Meng from behind.

Lu Meng responded hurriedly, turned around and left.

His forehead and hair were left covered with sweat, and he stood there with a pale face, not knowing what to do.

in the big tent.

Zhou Yu hand-drawn a strategic map of Liu Bei's plan to conquer Jingzhou, and he was studying it with his generals.

"Look, Liu Bei's use of troops this time may seem arbitrary, but in fact, it is full of mysteries and no leaks!"

Zhou Yu traced the trajectory of the Xinye Five Army back and forth with his hands, his expression very solemn.

Before, Liu Biao of Jingzhou was his lifelong enemy, but Liu Biao died on the front foot, and before he could react, Liu Bei came out of nowhere and took over the three counties of Jingzhou!
This impressed him!
"Grand Governor, in my opinion, although the military conduct is cunning, it is far more than that!"

Ling Tong looked at the map, pondered over and over again, stood up and said.

"Liu Bei's military march this time seems to be huge. It seems that all the soldiers from the new field are coming out."

"But if you analyze it carefully, it may not be the case. The five-pronged army is overwhelming. Except for Jiang Xia's slight use of swords and soldiers, they fought without bloodshed and without spending a single soldier!"

"It looked like a sweep across Jingxiang, but in reality it was just a demonstration of troops and horses to take over. They all surrendered. Even the important town of Xiangyang was like this! Cai Mao fled in a hurry. Not only did he not offer any resistance, but he lost [-] soldiers. horse!"

Soldiers without a fight!
Among all the warriors, the strategy is to not fight!
Zhou Yu frowned and his heart skipped a beat!
When Gan Ning saw Jiang Xia's march, he couldn't help but marvel.

"The armies of the four armies are cleaning up the city with great fanfare to attract attention. But the one with the strongest strength has disappeared!"

"It broke out suddenly, and the enemy was constantly fighting, killing the general from thousands of miles away! This move made Jiang Xia Cai Xun unable to guard against it. There was no other way except to lead the enemy and kill him!"

"The ancient Sun Wu was nothing better than this!"

Zhou Yu looked solemn and kept nodding, thinking secretly in his heart that even I may not be able to achieve perfection in these strategies without any flaws!

"Grand Governor, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not..."

Lu Meng stared at the map, suddenly remembered something, his expression changed, and he whispered.

"But it's okay to say it, why bother to be coy!"

Lu Meng stared at the map and was silent for a moment: "In the past few days, I was still thinking that the Xinye army besieged Xiangyang, but they did not attack, putting themselves in a dangerous position. It is puzzling."

"Now it seems that they are surrounding but not attacking, just waiting for us to attack Changsha!"

Lu Meng's eyes swept across the crowd one by one, and finally landed on the map. He gently pressed his finger on the city head of Xiangyang.

"When we capture Changsha, people in Xiangyang City will definitely be panicked and civil strife will occur!"

"During civil strife, Cai Mao must flee! After ten days of siege, once he entered the city, the three armies were unscathed!"

After Lu Meng finished speaking, he let out a long breath!
"Our recruitment of troops this time has already been part of Liu Bei's plan and has become a pawn of his!"

Zhou Yu's face was ashen and he said nothing!

People count!God forbid!
Zhuge Wolong, such a dragon, can see its head but not its tail!
This person is unpredictable in his plans for the world. Instead of talking about the art of war, it is better to talk about human nature!
Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, the four major clans, the soldiers of Xiangyang, Jiangdong...

Everything is under his control!

Little did he know that Zhuge Ming was not only like this, but Cao Cao, who was far away in Xuchang, was already part of his plan!
