The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 170 Guan Lao Liu borrowed troops
Zhou Yu also smiled when he heard this and said:
"There are some clues, but they are not mature yet."

Liu Bei saw that he was trying to prevaricate and immediately asked:
"Since the two families are an alliance, can you let me hear something about it?"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly when he heard this.

But he didn't mean to speak openly.

Instead, he stuffed the map into his sleeve and talked eloquently:
"Now most of Jingzhou has surrendered to Cao's army."

"Cao Cao also deployed troops to Jiangling in Xiangyang to prepare the naval army."

"If you want to sweep our country east of the Yangtze River, you must advance from the Yangtze River."

"Control Jianghan first and then plan for Jiangdong."

"We are taking the initiative to attack now, and we must kill Cao's army at Xiakou."

"Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe before you can stop Cao Cao from going south."

It’s like I didn’t hear it at all!
This made Liu Bei feel secretly.

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu paused for a moment and then added:
"If Uncle Liu hadn't taken the initiative to ask for help, it would have been difficult for me in Jiangdong to defeat Cao Ye."

"I'm afraid it's rare to see the governor today."

This is of course the best, but where should we use the troops?
How to use troops? These are a bit vague.

"Since we are discussing a major matter now, why not call them here to discuss it together?"

He had to change the topic and said:
"Earlier, Zi Jing crossed the river to greet him, and Kong Ming went to meet Wu Hou again."

He thought Zhou Yu would at least respond to him after hearing this.

Liu Bei was naturally happy when he heard this.

Zhou Yu is so cunning this time, and his mouth is tighter than a box.
Liu Bei was asking for trouble and was too embarrassed to continue.

But he didn't talk about those scenes, he told the truth without being secretive.

Unexpectedly, the other party lowered his head and fiddled with the strings.

The purpose of helping Liu Bei was actually for Jiangdong himself.

Zhou Yu could have said openly that he was helping others out of righteousness.

And at this time, he changed his name to the emperor's uncle, which obviously gave him a bit more respect.

He said this from the bottom of his heart, now both families are in the same boat.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei tried again:

“It’s hard to guard against, it’s really disturbing.”

Zhou Yu volunteered to contain Cao Jun on the water and reduce the pressure on Liu Bei.

"If there is no matchmaking between the two gentlemen."

"Regardless of the great disparity between the enemy and ourselves, the Jianghan waterway is hundreds of miles long and winding."

"Alas! This is easier said than done."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yu finally reacted.

He immediately pressed the strings and said solemnly:

"I am entrusted by Marquis Wu to handle confidential matters, and I shall not use others' hands to do so."

"Besides, now that the war is about to begin, Zijing's affairs are heavy."

"If Liu Yuzhou wants to see Zijing, he can make an appointment another day."

"I will definitely ask him to cross the river to pay his respects."

"This" Liu Bei was also stunned when he heard this.

Then he asked: "What about my military advisor Kong Ming?"

"Mr. Kong Ming is highly talented and highly respected by Jiangdong scholars."

"Yes, I was invited to entertain you by my lord."

"I'll be back in a few days, please be at ease, uncle."

Liu Bei also frowned when he heard this, but he didn't think too much.

By this time the battle is over and Zhuge Liang will be back.

Presumably Sun Quan would not dare to do anything to Kong Ming.

But the other party's answer brought the conversation to a dead end.

Liu Bei simply did not beat around the bush and simply asked:

"Captain Zhou, may I ask how your army wants to use its troops in this attack on Jiangxia?"

When Zhou Yu saw that the other party couldn't hold it in any longer, he also smiled and said:

"Why does the Emperor care so much about the details of our military deployment?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he was speechless for a moment, and felt a bit disgusted in his heart.

But he actually understood why Zhou Yu kept following him in circles.

In the final analysis, the two families formed a hasty alliance and did not trust each other.

After all, although they are sending troops jointly, they will inevitably consider their own interests. When the time comes to fight, whoever loses more will lose less, and whoever has a lighter burden will bear a heavier burden.

Even the size of the profits after the war is uncertain.

If Zhou Yu tells everything at this time, let him Liu Bei take advantage of it.

Wouldn't it be like wasting Jiangdong's efforts to marry someone else?
But if Liu Bei doesn't find out,

How do you know what medicine is hidden in Zhou Yu's gourd?

What if we sell them or stab them in the back?
But at this time, they were on someone else's territory after all.

Liu Bei had no choice but to hold back his dissatisfaction and asked bravely:

"I wonder how many people the governor has brought with him this time?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu replied calmly: "No, no, exactly thirty thousand."

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately lost his voice and said:
"Three to thirty thousand?!"

"Alas, it's missing a bit."

I thought that Sun Quan was a little bit petty.

The number of troops sent to attack Changsha before was more than 30,000.

Why is it so overwhelming to attack Cao now?

You know, Cao Jun's navy in Jiangbei is more than 60,000!
At this time, Zhou Yu saw Liu Bei looking disappointed.

But he said nonchalantly:
"Thirty thousand is indeed a little less."

"However, I heard that Liu Yuzhou is under his command."

"There are still 30,000 old Jiangxia troops belonging to Mr. Liu Qi."

"At that time, can you temporarily assign it to me for deployment?"

"Ah?!" Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this.

Then he quickly asked: "What do you mean, Governor?!"

At this moment, he wondered if he had heard wrongly? !

How can anyone open their mouth to borrow troops from friendly forces before the fight has begun?
What's more, your Jiangdong family has a great cause and has people from six counties!

That's it! Do you still want me, Old Liu, to borrow troops? !
But Zhou Yu said without blushing and heartbeat:

"Please Liu Yuzhou lend me his troops and horses."

"If we combine 60,000 naval forces, it will be enough to defeat Cao Jun's navy."

"It will be easy to take Jingxiang by then."

When Liu Bei heard this, his brows knitted together.

No matter how much he could bear it, he still had an angry look on his face and said:

"Our army's foothold in Changsha is not stable, and it depends entirely on the support of these 30,000 old Jiangxia troops."

"If Quanjiao and Zhou Dudu call upon each other, how can we, Changsha, protect ourselves?"

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

If he agrees to this, he will hand over the Jiangxia water army in his hand.

Then, let alone go north to counterattack Cao's army.

Jiangdong has to turn around and kill him!
But Zhou Yu smiled casually at this time, cupped his hands and said:

"Uncle Emperor, please calm down. Now the two families are working together to join forces."

"If you and I fight on our own, we will only be competing for advantage and not be able to win."

"If I leave it to my disposal, then"

But before he could finish his words, Wei Yan from outside the pavilion suddenly rushed in and interrupted:
"Why should you, Jiangdong, dispatch our military soldiers?!"

"When the war begins, if you prefer one to another, let my soldiers die!"

"How will my lord face his soldiers?!"

After hearing this, Liu Bei immediately scolded:
"Presumptuous! I'm talking to Governor Zhou."

"How can I allow you to talk too much?"

But no matter what he said, he was secretly happy in his heart!
I just feel that this kid Wei Yan has such a quick mind!
He immediately expressed what he was thinking.

At this time, even Zhou Yu glanced at Wei Yan.

But he ignored him and said to Liu Bei solemnly:
"Uncle Emperor, I can't believe it."

"Jiangdong can also put all the army under your control."

"As long as we can defeat Cao's navy, our army will have no problem!"

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this!

That expression seemed to ask again, are you serious?

Liu Bei never expected that Zhou Yu would do this!
He, an outsider, was in charge of the Jiangdong navy, and it was a shame that Zhou Yu dared to say so!
After all, this is simply impossible!
