Major General's Journey through the Three Kingdoms

At this time, Zhao Yun was also meeting Liu Bei at the ferry.When Liu Bei saw Zhao Yun, he praised him, "Zilong, you are both wise and brave." Zhao Yun didn't know what happened, so he just laughed and didn't answer.After returning, Zhao Yun asked Zuo Long what happened just now.Zuo Long then told Zhao Yun what happened just now and what happened in Jiangdong.After Zhao Yun heard this, he smiled and said, "It's not something I could have predicted, it's just a coincidence. I just asked Zhang Fei to meet him, but I didn't expect Gan Ning to come to assassinate the lord?" Zhao Yun couldn't help being surprised.I thought to myself: Why didn't Marquis Wu attack the lord when he was in Jiangdong?Instead, it seems stupid to attack in Jiangxia territory.

Zhao Yun thought about this, and then asked Zuo Long if he had denied the wrong person.But Zuo Long thought about it for a while.Then he shook his head and said, "I will never admit my mistake, but Gan Ning came after him, but he was wearing Cao Jun's general uniform. Fortunately, we recognized him, otherwise even my lord and General Guan would have been kept in the dark."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun asked anxiously, "What did you say? Gan Ning was wearing Cao Jun's uniform?" Zuo Long nodded.Zhao Yun didn't think well, it seems that this must be Zhou Yu's trick.It intends to make the lord and Cao Cao a place of conflict, and then he will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.After Cao Cao beheaded the lord, Shi Jiangdong could reap the benefits.Zhao Yun thought about this, so he immediately went to see Liu Bei.

At that time, Liu Bei was also discussing this matter, but they all thought it was the intention of some Jiangdong generals, so they didn't think too much.After Zhao Yun met Liu Bei, he immediately analyzed the matter of Gan Ning's pursuit and killing with Liu Bei in detail.After hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but suddenly realized.Then he said: "If Zhou Yu sends someone to kill Cao Cao's envoy, Cao Cao will become angry and point the finger at himself. Then we will not stop."

Just as he was talking, a spy came to report: "Cao Cao asked Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to lead the Jingzhou navy to set off for Sanjiangkou."

Sun Qiandao: "Now that Sun and Liu are allied, why don't you ask Zhou Yu for help?"

Liu Bei said: "He can verbally agree to come, and when he has rectified the army and horses, he will come to collect the corpses for us."

Zhao Yundao: "Don't worry, my lord. Zhou Yu will not hide this little skill from Cao Cao. Although Cao Jun came here this time, although he appeared to be heading for Jiangxia, he was actually going for Jiangdong."

“How come you see?”

"Cao Cao's main force is the army, and now the Jingzhou navy is only here. According to Zilong, Cao Cao's move must be to test the news of the Lord and Jiangdong."

When Liu Bei thought about it, what Zhao Yun said was not unreasonable.But for the sake of safety, Liu Bei still asked Guan Yu to lead the army to guard against Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's attack.Liu Bei thought to himself at this time: Zhou Yu can be said to be stealing chickens but not losing money, let's see how you defend against the enemy now?

In addition, Cao Cao was very angry when he heard that the envoy he sent to Jiangdong was beheaded by Liu Bei in Jiangxia.Immediately ordered the Jingzhou navy to go to Jiangxia to capture Liu Bei alive.Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were ordered to leave.Xun You said at this time: "Is it too stupid for Liu Bei to kill the envoy in his own territory?"

Cao Cao said with a smile, "Xun You really thought it through."

"I believe the prime minister has already made up his mind."

"How can Zhou Yu's tricks be hidden from me?"

"But why did the prime minister order Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to lead the army?"

"I asked Cai and Zhang to go for three reasons. First, I wanted to test the loyalty of Cai and Zhang; second, I wanted to see how Liu Bei and Sun Quan would react; third, I wanted to test the true nature of the Jiangdong navy. strength too."

"The prime minister is really thoughtful, and the public has not been able to."

"Now that our hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered here, what clever plan does Gongda have to defeat the enemy?"

"Our army is all the top divisions in the north. Success or failure should not be rushed for a while. Besides, Sun and Liu have already joined forces, and their vigor is at the forefront, so they cannot fight. The prime minister is now well-equipped with soldiers and food, so he should wait and see the changes until the conflict between Sun and Liu is intensified. time, and break them one by one. I hope the lord will carefully consider it."

"What Gongda said is true, but what we are worried about is the navy in Jiangdong."

"So the prime minister should make use of the strengths of our soldiers in the north, break a gap along the Yangtze River, and then move eastward, when the river will be broken."

"Yongda can only see where I should break the gap in the Yangtze River."

"Jiangdong's army has all assembled in Jianye, Jiujiang, and Echeng. The defense of Jiangnan is weak. Why don't the prime minister start from its weakness."

Cao Cao looked at his offensive and defensive map, and said, "I want to garrison the Wulin area, and then march towards Chibi, how about that?"

"Wulin has two advantages: one is that there are large and small lakes here, which can be used by the navy for training; two, here you can attack Chibi, and you can defend Nanjun and Jingzhou when you retreat. The prime minister can order the three armies to march towards Wulin."

"Gongda's analysis is very good." Cao Cao said and ordered the three armies to march towards Wulin.

In addition, Gan Ning reported Zhou Yu's failure in this operation, and Zhou Yu was furious.Unexpectedly, his carefully planned strategy would fail.But in order not to break the Sun-Liu alliance, Zhou Yu had to talk about it with Lu Su.After hearing this, Lu Su was very angry, and then scolded Gong Jin face to face.

At this moment, a spy reported that Cai Hao and Zhang Yun had led the Jingzhou navy to Sanjiangkou, declaring that they would attack Jiangxia and Liu Bei.Lu Su heard this, and then said to Zhou Yu: "Liu Bei is in the lower reaches of the Han River. This is not a crusade against Liu Bei, it is clearly coming to the east of the river."

Zhou Yu heard this, and then said: "This is the end of the matter, wait for me to send troops to defeat him, Wang Zijing Mo will tell the Lord about the assassination of Liu Bei."

Zi Jingdao nodded in agreement, so he immediately came to Xiakou to see Liu Bei.When Liu Bei heard that Lu Su had come, he knew it must be because of Zhou Yu.So discuss the matter with the account.Sun Qiandao: "Lu Su's trip must be for the past."

Liu Bei nodded, and then asked: "How should I answer then?" Everyone was silent for a while.

Zhao Yun said at this time: "Lu Su came here to prevent the alliance between Sun and Liu from being broken. When Sun Quan was in Jiangdong, he wanted the lord to give up the land of Jingxiang. Now the lord can renegotiate the land of Jingxiang with Lu Su. "

When Liu Bei heard this, he smiled happily, and then went to meet Lu Su.Zhao Yun followed closely behind.When everyone is seated, the host and guest sit in rows.Liu Bei asked, "I don't know why Zijing came here?"

Lu Su clasped his hands and said, "I'm here because of Cao Jun."

Liu Bei pretended not to know what happened, so he asked Lu Su.Lu Su looked at Liu Bei's expression and knew that he asked the question knowingly.So he said: "Cao Cao ordered Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to lead the Jingzhou navy to the mouth of the three rivers, hoping to have the potential to cross the river."

Liu Bei was surprised: "Why is Cao Cao in such a hurry to cross the river?"

"Uncle Liu Huang, you and I are both honest people. We don't need to speak secretly. Since the Sun and Liu families have already formed an alliance, you and I should keep our duties and fight Cao Cao with all our strength."

Liu Bei didn't understand, and then asked: "Why didn't Zijing say it clearly, Bei actually didn't understand what you meant?"
