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

Chapter 264 I have a plan! It can turn the battle situation around

This time, Jingzhou could not be captured for a long time, and the fire broke out in Jiangdong's backyard again.

Although Zhou Yu was eager to make a contribution, he could not hold on any longer.

So they began to think about withdrawing their troops.

Just as he was hesitating, a messenger came from the opposite side.

He also brought a letter to Zhou Yu.

When I opened it, the first thing that caught my eye was a country ballad:
You did not cross the river, but you did cross it and fell into the river and died. What can I do to you?
Then, the end of the letter stated more bluntly:
As autumn goes by and the tide recedes, it is time for you to return home.
Zhou Yu also glared when he saw it!
"Such arrogance! It's really annoying!"

After saying that, he threw it into the charcoal basin.

But no matter how angry I am, the ridicule from the other side is also a fact.

If this continues, the river water will recede.

The Jiangdong coalition's water advantage was weakened.

If you insist on not leaving, you will only lose even more miserably.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu felt somewhat helpless.

I didn't expect that the enemy had known all our details!

He was in a dilemma and had to call all his generals.

Discuss how to respond.

When all the generals from Jiangdong arrived, they heard the provocation from the other side.

Veteran General Han Dang also cursed at this time: "This is really outrageous!"

"The enemy has only gained a few advantages recently."

"You are so arrogant, you simply treat our Jiangdong army as nothing!"

After these words were spoken, all the generals present were filled with indignation.

"Isn't it? How should we fight this war?"

"In my opinion, we might as well fight them directly to avenge General Ling!"

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief! Let's fight the enemy!"

"Grand Commander! I am willing to lead my soldiers as the vanguard and fight a decisive battle with the enemy tonight!"

Zhou Yu was looking at the crowd with excitement at this time.

He also frowned and said nothing. After a while, he said in a deep voice:
"Not right, the enemy has a strong force."

"If we rashly send out troops now, the outcome will be unpredictable."

Han Dang was also unwilling to hear this and said:

"What should we do?"

Huang Gai, who was always calm, also said:

"Our army is small in number, morale is low and food supplies are scarce."

"It is really not advisable to confront the other party head-on. It is better to avoid the sharp edge for the time being."

"But if we retreat like this, how can we face the lord?"

"How can we face the elders of Jiangdong?"

"Besides, if we withdraw our troops now, the enemy will surely pursue us!"

Huang Gai also raised the doubts in everyone's mind.

Zhou Yu's eyes flickered when he heard this.

At this time, the soldiers were still determined to fight.

I was also unwilling to retreat.

At this time, he gritted his teeth and prepared to give it a try!
"Since you are all so motivated, how can I easily retreat?"

As he spoke, Zhou Yu also stood up.

He said with a firm face:

"Everyone, I have a plan! It can turn the battle situation around!"

Not long after, in the central military hall of the Wulin Port military camp.

Yu Jin was discussing military affairs with Liu Ba at this time.

At this moment, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun appeared.

He ran in with a happy face:

"General, we have something important to report!"

Yu Jin was thinking about how to repel the enemy.

Being suddenly interrupted at this moment, he frowned.

I just said casually: "Go ahead!"

But Cai Mao approached him stealthily and whispered in his ear:

"A man dressed as a fisherman came to our barracks."

"He claims to be a close confidant of Huang Gai, the veteran general from Jiangdong on the other side of the river!"

"Oh? Huang Gai's confidant?" Yu Jin's eyes lit up at this time!
"That's right! We didn't dare to tell anyone, so we secretly brought him to the big tent."

"According to what he said, the rear of Jiangdong is unstable and the army's morale has changed drastically!"

"Huang Gai wants to surrender to us secretly!"

"He also said that there was a letter that he wanted to hand over to the general personally."

"We don't know if this is a scam or not. Please decide how to deal with it, General!"

After hearing this, Yu Jin also smiled.

He looked at Liu Ba and said:
"In that case, I would like to meet this person in person."

In fact, Yu Jin was already moved when Cai Mao was halfway through his speech. He thought to himself: The perseverance of these days has finally paid off!
It turned out to be the right decision to confront each other across the Yangtze River. Zhou Yu finally couldn't hold on any longer!
Since his debut, he has followed his lord Cao Cao to fight in various places!

He has always been strict in military discipline and cautious in the use of troops, and has never made a mistake on the battlefield.

It was at the beginning of this battle that he suffered a defeat at the hands of Zhou Yu.

If we had defended it strictly, how could Zhou Yu have succeeded?
Yu Jin had already regarded his previous self-doubts as unnecessary distractions.

But when I saw the envoy in person.

Both Yu Jin and Liu Ba were a little disappointed.

After all, how could this man look like a confidant of a general?

He is clearly just an ordinary old fisherman!

Judging from his age, he is probably around seventy years old.

A long and thin face, full of wrinkles like a walnut shell.

There was a goatee on his chin that stretched down to his chest.

He wore a tattered straw hat on his head and a tattered raincoat on his body.

He had a straw rope tied around his waist and straw sandals on his feet.

His attire was extremely shabby.

When Yu Jin and Chief Secretary Liu Bei walked into the tent.

The old man neither bowed nor kowtowed.

He just sat on a small stool, squinting his eyes and dozing off.

He has no manners at all. How can he be like a worldly-wise person?

But it's difficult for him at his age.

He was able to row across the river by himself. He must be very tired at this moment!
Cai Mao wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

He just raised his foot and kicked him lightly and shouted:
"Wake up old man! Do you know where this place is?"

"Why are you still sleeping?!"

But this man was too old after all, and he didn't even dare to kick too hard.

"Hmm..." The old man swayed for a moment and slowly opened his eyes.

He opened his mouth for a moment before reacting.

He quickly took off his hat and knelt down to salute.

"My humble servant greets all the adults!"

Such a scene made the people present feel embarrassed.

I wondered if such an old man could really be Huang Gai's confidant?

Yu Jin couldn't help but frown at this time.

He raised his hand and said, "Get up and talk."

"Yes!" the old man answered clearly.

But once he kneeled down, he moved quite skillfully.

He looks a bit like a veteran soldier.

Yu Jin was now sitting on the throne.

After carefully examining him for a while, he asked:

"Father, are you really General Huang Gai's confidant?"

The old man's drooping eyebrows slightly raised when he heard this.

He said proudly: "General, you are joking!"

"Can I still cheat at my age?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ba also frowned and said:

"The old man's accent doesn't sound like that of a Wuyue person."

The old man quickly replied:
"Your Excellency, I am from Lingling, Jingzhou."

"He joined General Huang's army before he was twenty."

"I served as a personal soldier to my general for forty years."

"To be honest, I call him General in front of others."

"He still has to call me brother in private!"

As he spoke, he stroked his silver beard with a smug look on his face.

"Oh?" Liu Ba heard that the old man was from the same hometown as him.

I was a little surprised at once.

I believed his words a little bit!

After all, what he said is possible.

These generals usually have a few veteran soldiers under their command.

As a personal confidant, he followed his master through life and death for half his life.

If you don't have any special skills and can't get promoted, just stay with me and spend your retirement.

In essence, they are similar to servants of the noble families.

And as far as Liu Ba knew, Huang Gai was indeed from Lingling.

It is normal that the veterans under his command are from the same hometown.

For example, Yu Jin had several such old soldiers under his command.

They are all his fellow Taishan folks.
