Soldiers come to the world

Cheng Yu has not uttered a word since he got the money, he listened very carefully, not letting go of every detail, and he already has a plan in his mind.

At this time Cao Cao asked him, and Cheng Yu took out a dozen large ship models from the Jiangxia Army water village, placed them in front of the water village, and said to Cao Cao and everyone: "Have you considered why the Qianshi ship is obviously unable to fight?" , Jiang Xiajun wants to put them out, is it to suppress the formation? Or is it just for show?"

Chen Qun blurted out next to him, "This is to prevent us from attacking the water village!"

Cao Cao was thoughtful, "Zhongde's plan is to attack with fire?"

Cheng Yu nodded, "That's right, the key to this battle is not the battle of two hundred small ships, but these thirty thousand-stone warships. Their function is to guard against our fire attack, but it just reminds us , the key to our victory in this battle is fire attack."

Liu Ye frowned and said, "But Jiang Xia is already on guard against our attack, will they give us a chance?"

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, "It's up to people to plan things, and God to make things happen! Now that the northwest wind is strong on the river, this is the opportunity God gave us. If we don't make good use of the favorable wind direction, then we really have no chance. "

Cao Cao walked to the side of the Jiangxia army in Zhanpan, bent down to examine the structure of the Jiangxia army's water village carefully, and suddenly tapped the gate of the water village with his fingers, "Here is the key!"

"The prime minister really appreciates it!"

Cheng Yu said with a smile to the crowd: "We don't need to enter the Jiangdong army water stronghold, as long as we can set fire to the gate and seal the gate with fire, then the Jiangxia warships in the water stronghold will not be able to come out, and we will not be able to stop us from crossing the river , once the vanguard seals off the Jiangxia army water stronghold, that will be the moment when we will have a thousand boats racing and a hundred thousand troops crossing the river."

"But has Zhongde considered Jiangdong Army?"

Liu Ye added: "Since the split between the Jiangdong Army and the Jiangxia Army is not real, then the sudden appearance of the Jiangdong Army will pose a serious threat to our big boat crossing the river. Has Zhongde considered it?"

"Of course I have thought about it. The Jiangdong Army is now stationed in Zhu City. It will take a day to come from Zhu City. This is still a small manpower boat. The big boat cannot go against the river, so it will not come at all."

In fact, Cheng Yu also knew in his heart that his plan was very hasty, and there must be loopholes that he could not take into account, but Cheng Yu knew better about the anxiety in the Prime Minister's heart, Hebei was in danger, and the Prime Minister couldn't wait for a day.

As a qualified strategist, he must make the best use of the situation, and on the premise that the overall situation cannot be changed, he must try his best to come up with a reasonable and effective plan. His fire attack plan is the best plan. I can gamble.

There was silence in the big tent, and Cheng Yu's meaning was already very clear. As long as the attack was launched tonight, the warships of the Jiangdong Army would have no time to support them, and everyone's eyes were on Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was still watching the Jiangxia army water stronghold. He knew very well that in fact it was impossible for him to retreat. The northwest wind was strong and it was difficult for large ships to return north. Even if he wanted to retreat, the Jiangxia navy would not allow him to cross the Han River. This is called the situation is stronger than people.

But Cao Cao never wanted to let his men know that he was fighting because he had no way out, as this would shake morale.

After a long time, Cao Cao stood up straight and slowly said to everyone: "It's noon now, all the soldiers go back to their tents to sleep and rest. Tonight, we will start the battle of crossing the river!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Cheng Yu's plan was indeed hasty, and there were loopholes that he didn't take into account. He calculated that the warships of the Jiangdong Army could not advance westward against the current, and the time was too late, but he ignored the land. Although the Jiangdong Army is a navy, the water The army can also fight on land.

From Chibi Wulin to the east is still the vast Yunmeng Lake. There are large swamps and swamps in the water. However, there is a natural passage about one mile wide close to the Yangtze River. Walk through the forest until you reach Sanjiangkou, a hundred miles away.

At night, an army of nearly 3 people marched rapidly in the forest. The [-] army stretched for ten miles. Although the momentum was huge, the march was silent. .

This army was the Jiangdong army who had abandoned their ships and landed. According to Liu Jing's deployment, they did not attack by water, but turned to land, marched westward along the Yangtze River, and finally launched an offensive against Cao Jun's camp in Wulin.

After Liu Jing received the news of the Hebei uprising, he knew that the decisive battle with Cao Jun was imminent, and he immediately notified the Jiangdong Army to implement the landing plan.

The Jiangdong army landed on the north bank last night, then marched quickly along the north bank, camped and rested during the day, and continued to march after dark.

A scout came galloping from the front on horseback, found the coach Zhou Yu, and bowed on the horse to report: "To the governor, the three sentry towers in front have been pulled out. General Taishi said that there are signs of large-scale mobilization in Cao's army." .”

The vanguard was the general Tai Shici, who led five hundred of the most elite soldiers to clear the way ahead, and pulled out the Cao Jun sentry tower to ensure the safety of the army.

Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at the sky. It was about one o'clock. The large-scale mobilization of Cao Jun at this time must be a major military operation today. In this case, they should not be too close to Cao Jun's camp. Wait for the war to break out before launching an attack, so as to ensure the final victory.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu immediately ordered: "The whole army rests on the spot, and ordered the troops behind to follow up quickly."

The soldiers sat down to rest one after another. Several of them leaned against a big tree, or took out a water bottle to drink water, or closed their eyes for a nap.

Zhou Yu seemed to be preoccupied, standing on a high place with his hands behind his back, looking at Cao Jun's camp, but he couldn't see anything, the dark night and dense forests blocked his sight.

He was very preoccupied, and had the bitterness of making wedding dresses for others. He didn't understand why Liu Jing must fight for the right to distribute the spoils, because Liu Jing had already arranged this battle, and he would be the Jiangdong Army to attack the camp.

However, the spoils gained from attacking the camp were the most lucrative. Of course, Liu Jing would not give up this benefit to himself, so he used the matter of redeeming Huang Gai to force himself to agree to the distribution of the spoils.

It was only at this time that he understood Liu Jing's deep meaning, which made him very depressed, but at the same time, there was also a kind of sigh that was far inferior to others. He was conceited and talented, but compared with Liu Jing, he was far behind.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but heaved a long sigh. At this time, Lu Meng walked slowly to Zhou Yu's side and said in a low voice, "The governor seems to be a little troubled. It's because of General Huang!"

Although Zhou Yu did not reveal to the generals that he signed the treaty with Liu Jing, everyone knew that the governor must have agreed to some conditions with Liu Jing to get Ma Yan's head. Liu Jing is not so easy to talk to. people.

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, but did not answer Lu Meng's question, but Lu Meng understood Zhou Yu's difficulties very well, and he also knew where Zhou Yu was worried?

He smiled and comforted him and said, "Don't think too much, Dudu. Keeping Old General Huang is to give Marquis Wu the greatest explanation. We all think that replacing General Huang is a wise move for Dudu."

"It's useless to talk about this matter. We should concentrate on fighting tonight's battle."

Zhou Yu didn't want to mention this matter again, so he changed the subject, he smiled and said: "To be honest, I also admire Liu Jing's ability to control the war. He told me a piece of information, Hebei Yuan has been revived, Hebei The situation is very critical for Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is eager to end this Southern Expedition, so he must rush to attack, so we have a chance."

Lu Meng frowned and said, "The governor thinks that the revival of the Yuan family in Hebei has something to do with Liu Jing?"

Zhou Yu nodded, "I believe that Yuan's revival must be brought about by him alone, because all his arrangements for us are just waiting for this opportunity to come, at least he participated in this matter."

This conclusion surprised Lu Meng secretly, and he was speechless for a long time. Zhou Yu sighed slightly and said, "Liu Jing is not only Cao Cao's strong enemy, but also our strong enemy in the future!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

It was night, the moonlight was twilight, and the cold moonlight shone on the vast river. On the top of the semi-circular hill of Chibi Jitou, Liu Jing stared at the surging river with his hands behind his back, "The Yangtze River is rolling in the east, and the waves have wiped out the heroes." ...'

He chanted in a low voice, his heart was like the water of a great river going east, and he had a magnificent feeling like waves and waves. He suddenly laughed and asked: "Do you believe in fate, sir?"

Behind him, Jia Xu shook his head, "I don't believe in fate, but I believe in the way of heaven."

"What is the way of heaven, what is fate?"

"The way of heaven is to make up for what is not enough. The way of man is not so. The damage is not enough to give more than enough. Therefore, I will not do my best in anything, just to leave a little room for myself. The state shepherd follows the human way, and the damage is not enough. Feng Yuyu, maybe this is the fate Zhou Mu said."

Liu Jing turned his head and stared at Jia Xu, he didn't understand what Jia Xu meant, Jia Xu said again: "The prefect has already taken advantage of Chibi, why doesn't he give Prime Minister Cao some leeway?"

Liu Jing said calmly: "I don't believe in the way of humanity, I believe in the way of kingship. The so-called way of kingship is to seek the greatest benefit. Those who are good at defending will hide under the nine grounds, and those who are good at attacking will attack above the nine heavens."

"However, worldly affairs are like chess. I am afraid that worldly affairs will not go according to Zhou Mu's expectations."

Liu Jing smiled faintly, "I only care about the overall situation, who can plan so far in each specific step. For Cao Cao, my kingly way is, either don't do it, or do it absolutely!"

Jia Xu smiled wryly and shook his head. In fact, he wanted to persuade Liu Jing not to kill Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, but to leave some room for it. However, Liu Jing had made up his mind to use the Battle of Chibi to weaken Cao Jun's power to the greatest extent, and he had nothing to say. It can be said.

At this time, the soldiers on the guard tower nearby shouted: "Zhou Mu, an enemy ship has been spotted on the river!"

Liu Jing stepped forward quickly and stared at the sparkling river, he saw dense black dots appearing on the surface of the river, a cruel smile finally appeared on the corner of Liu Jing's mouth, finally came!
