Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 71 Really dead? Still cheating to death!
  "Sir, I'm here again!"

Cao Cao came to Ye Fan happily with wine in one hand and a lot of braised meat in the other.

In the previous discussion, he did not make up his mind, but decided to go to Ye Fan for advice first.

"Why are you so free? Didn't the Prime Minister send troops to attack Zhou Yu?"

Ye Fan asked in surprise.

Cao Cao chuckled: "I really can't hide anything from you, sir. General Cao Ren has indeed sent out troops, and I heard that he already won one of the previous battles!"

As he spoke, he skillfully poured wine and put the meat on the table, like a diligent boy.

Ye Fan picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, still a little surprised and asked: "Then Zhou Yu is so vulnerable? He actually lost a game right after he came up!"

Cao Cao smiled, waved his hand and said, "Sir, you don't know something. It's not that Jiangdong is too weak, but that Zhou Yu is too weak. I heard that General Cao Ren sent troops to scold him all day long, and that's why Zhou Yu was provoked to send troops."

"General Cao Ren was still yelling and cursing before the battle, and Zhou Yusheng was so angry that he vomited blood and fell off his horse!"

After Ye Fan heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Zhou Yu is indeed brave and resourceful, but it is a pity that his popularity is small and he has no room for others. If this continues, he will be pissed to death."

He also knew Zhou Yu well, and he also knew that Cao Ren's scolding must have hurt Zhou Yu, otherwise Zhou Yu would not have lost his composure in front of the army.

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows at this time and whispered: "Sir, you are really right. I just received news that Zhou Yu has been mad to death!"

Seeing that he was mysterious but couldn't hide the smile on his lips, Ye Fan smiled and shook his head.

"Do you really believe that Zhou Yu is really dead? Even if General Cao Ren scolds him harshly, it can't be that simple to piss Zhou Yu to death, right?"

Cao Cao quickly explained: "Sir, Zhou Yu's sneak attack failed before and he fainted from anger. Now he is not in good health and fell off his horse again. I don't think the news is false."

Ye Fan smiled slightly.

"What if... Zhou Yu faked his death?"

One sentence made Cao Cao suspicious.

He himself was suspicious, and the reason why he didn't give the order immediately was because he also had some doubts in his heart.

Did Zhou Yu really die so easily?
  Although everything makes sense, they are not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case. If Zhou Yu is not dead, then their actions may lead to failure.

"This...shouldn't be possible, right?"

Ye Fan just drank to himself and did not answer Cao Cao's questions.

Although he only guessed that Zhou Yu was not dead, he was somewhat sure. After all, it was a bit suspicious for someone like Zhou Yu to be provoked to send troops in the first place.

Even if he is narrow-minded and not sure of victory, how can he send troops?

So cheating death is probably part of his plan.

However, Ye Fan did not point out these things. After all, he was not completely sure and there was no need to say them out.

Moreover, he also wanted to see if the big soldier in front of him could figure out the intricate twists and turns.

Ye Fan's words made Cao Cao restless. The previous excitement had completely disappeared, and he kept thinking about the word "cheating death" in his mind.

His suspicious character made him unable to be sure that Zhou Yu was really dead, so he was so entangled.

After a long time, he sighed.

"Sir, forget about it. I want to accompany you today." Then the two continued to drink. Ye Fan didn't say much, and Cao Cao was not in much mood, so he just had a boring drink.

At midnight, Ye Fan was already drunk, and he also saw that Cao Cao was very concerned about what he called "Zhou Yu's fake death."

"Okay, looking at you like this, if you have any idea, just do it without accompanying me."

He waved his hand and went to rest on his own.

Cao Cao also hurried back to his camp.

"Go and call Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun You and others."

Although it was already late at night, Cao Cao was still worried and ordered people to go and call his counselors over.

"Did the Prime Minister go to Daxian again and get some advice?"

After Jia Xu got the news, he immediately had speculation in his mind.

After all, Cao Cao would call them over late at night after getting advice from Da Xian.

Jia Xu and others met on the way. When they arrived at the camp, they saw that Cao Cao, who was very happy before, now had a sad face.

"Prime Minister, what happened?"

Seeing this, Xun You stepped forward most eagerly and asked.

Cao Cao sighed, and after seeing his trusted adviser, he slowly said: "Tell me, is it possible that Zhou Yu faked his death?"

Jia Xu reacted the fastest. Although he had previously analyzed that Zhou Yu might be angry to death, since Cao Cao said this, it meant that he already had suspicions.

After thinking about Cao Cao's suspicion for a moment, he was suddenly shocked.

"Prime Minister, it's entirely possible."

"Although Zhou Yu is narrow-minded, he is still the governor of Jiangdong and is full of strategies. Even if General Cao Ren scolds him harshly, he probably will not send troops if he is not certain."

"If he really faked his death, then from the moment he sent troops to the moment he was so angry that he vomited blood and fell off his horse, it seemed like he was acting in order to hide it from us!"

Cheng Yu also thought about the consequences if Zhou Yu faked his death, and stepped forward and added: "Yes, if Zhou Yu fakes his death, our army will definitely attack. If they have ambushed, they will definitely cause heavy damage to our army!"

Xun You himself was good at clever strategies, and he also reacted at this time, his face gradually becoming gloomy.

"Prime Minister, it seems that I was impulsive before. If you say this, it is entirely possible that Zhou Yu really cheated his death!"

"And the most important thing now is to remind General Cao Ren that he sent someone to send the news that Zhou Yu was angry to death, and he clearly wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to attack!"

Cao Cao nodded slowly. After hearing the analysis of the counselors, he became more doubtful about the authenticity of Zhou Yu's death.

"Prime Minister, no matter whether Zhou Yu is really dead or pretending to die, as long as General Cao Ren does not move easily, there will be no room for all his strategies to be used!"

Cheng Yu spoke slowly at this time, feeling a little anxious in his heart. He wanted to urge Cao Cao to give an order. According to Cao Ren's temper, it might be too late if he slowed down.

"You are right. Now that our army has the advantage, there is no need to take risks. No matter whether Zhou Yu is really dead or pretending to die, as long as we stand still, there is nothing he can do!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have figured it out.

"Come here, send an order to Cao Ren immediately, telling him to stand still. Zhou Yu may be cheating his death!"

"At the same time, let him pay attention to Zhou Yu's movements and never act rashly!"
