The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

The three cities of Zaoyang, Yiyang, and Pingchun are just behind Cao Cao's army. If these cities are given to Long Fei, it will become a pincer attack. If Cao's army is defeated, they will not be able to retreat even if they want to.

When Jiang Ji mentioned Long Fei's condition, everyone found it unacceptable.One by one pointed at Jiang Ji and was furious, as if Jiang Ji wanted to give these cities to Long Fei.Cao Cao waved his hand to stop it. Since Cao Ren's death, Cao Cao had a new understanding of the concept of clan.The Xiahou family is his own family, even though his surname is Cao now, the blood flowing in his body is the blood of the Xiahou family.

"Forget it! As long as Long Fei promises to let go of the two young brothers Xiahou, what can I do if I give him the three cities?" Cao Cao's eyes became firm: "If we win this battle, don't mention these three cities, it is Nanjun and Xiangyang. If we hold it in our hands, if we lose this battle, these three cities alone will not be able to stop Long Fei."

When Jiang Ji came to Sanjiangkou again, he had a lot of confidence in his heart. With Cao Cao's words suppressed, Jiang Ji dared to speak loudly.This time Long Fei personally met him.Jiang Jili did not kneel, but stared at Long Fei with staring eyes.

Xu Shu was furious: "Bold Jiang Ji, he didn't even worship the general! Pull him out and beat him thirty!"

Long Fei waved his hand: "Forget it, Mr. Jiang is here to give us gifts, so don't reach out to hit the smiling face! Tell me, is Cao Cao willing to give up the three cities?"

Jiang Jidao: "Mr. Cao is grateful for your majesty's kindness. These three cities are originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, and this Zaoyang is also considered the land of Jingzhou. It should have been under the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion in Zhennan. Mr. Cao is willing to hand over the three cities to General Long! Time needs to be considered."

"Oh? How do you think about it?" Jiang Gan asked.

Jiang Jidao: "Now you and I are fighting, and Zaoyang, Yiyang, and Pingchun are just behind Chibi, which is the way for our army to retreat. What Cao Gong means is that when this battle is over, no matter who wins or loses, Cao Gong The three cities will be handed over!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Dian Wei was furious: "If you don't give the three cities, then don't even think about getting those two bastards back!"

Long Fei chuckled: "Father-in-law is afraid that we will cut off his retreat. As the saying goes, we will lose before we fight. Father-in-law seems to be in danger this time. In that case, Mr. Jiang, please come back first. When will you hand over the three cities?" , it won’t be too late when we release the two generals Xiahou again!”

Jiang Ji was actually waiting for this sentence.What Cao Cao was worried about was that Long Fei really killed Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan.Long Fei always does things according to his own preferences, Xia Houyuan can say that Xia Houdun has a violent temper, if he sees Long Fei, he will definitely curse.With Long Fei's words, Jiang Ji finally let go of his heart.After leaving the camp, we returned to the north bank by boat.

With Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan as hostages, Cao Cao indeed restrained himself a lot. The warships of the navy never came out again, and he trained in the camp all day long, not knowing what he was waiting for.For several days in a row, the generals couldn't stand it anymore, especially the generals of the army. The defeat of the Xiahou brothers hit them hardest. If they couldn't save face, the navy army would ride on their heads.

Led by Le Jin, he led a group of generals to meet Cao Cao.It's not that Cao Cao doesn't fight, he is still worried about Long Fei's soldiers and horses. The navy can rest assured, but the army has become his weakness again.The Xiahou brothers' tens of thousands of troops were wiped out overnight by Long Fei, and the price was too high.

"My lord! The navy has already been trained, why is it so late to cross the river? After crossing the Yangtze River, the river can be flattened, and the waterway will go straight to Sun Quan's lair!" Le Jin had to find a place to vent after being suffocated for so many days.

Cao Cao shook his head: "The time is not yet ripe! Wait a few more days!"

"My lord! From the beginning of autumn to now, spring is about to begin. Our army has not made any progress. If things go on like this, the soldiers will be exhausted and may not be able to fight again!" Le Jin is eager to fight, and he only wants to fight a battle happily.

Cao Cao straightened his face and looked at the generals below: "Don't talk too much, I have my own discretion in this matter. You just need to train your soldiers well! Retire!"

Seeing that Cao Cao was angry, Le Jin and the others did not dare to say anything more.Had no choice but to retreat.Just as he walked to the tent, he bumped into Kan Ze who was about to enter the tent.Kan Ze's small body was Le Jin's opponent, and he almost turned over.Le Jin hurriedly pulled him back.Kan Ze was pretending to be dizzy. Seeing that it was Le Jin who hurriedly saluted, Le Jin nodded slightly: "Mr. Kan is so urgent, what's the matter?"

Kan Ze smiled mysteriously: "Good thing, we can cross the river soon!" While smiling, he entered Cao Cao's military tent.

Cao Cao was worrying about these generals' invitation to fight. His army had indeed been stationed here for too long, retreating and neither retreating nor advancing, and might become the target of Long Fei at any time.Kan Ze held a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and came to Cao Cao: "My lord, good news! There is a letter from General Huang from Jiangdong!"

"Oh? How do you say it?" Cao Cao also became interested.

Kan Ze handed the letter to Cao Cao with both hands, and said: "General Huang said that Lu Su sent him to Chaisang to transport grain. It would take five or six days at most, and he would be back in three or five days at least. Let the grain ships head to our army camp together!"

After reading the letter, Cao Cao said, "Very good! Go and tell Yu Jin to pay more attention. If there is a Jiangdong ship, just look carefully. If it is General Huang, let me know immediately!"

Seeing that tomorrow is the beginning of spring, it started early in the morning, and the northwest wind that had been blowing for several months finally stopped, and the flying battle flags lost the spirit of the past, and their faces were drooping.It's not so cold when it's not windy.Waking up in the morning, Zhou Yu deliberately asked someone to lift him out of the big tent. He hadn't seen the outside for several days, and the bright sunshine was particularly dazzling.

Long Fei stretched his waist: "Weary in spring, tired in autumn, napping in summer, just experienced hibernation, I don't know how long this good weather will last?"

Zhou Yu coughed twice: "The cold has passed, spring is just around the corner, and there will be plenty of good weather in the future!"

The two sat side by side at the entrance of the large tent, facing the south and feeling the warm sunshine.There is tea and some pastries on the small table next to him. I have never experienced this kind of life.Since the moment Long Fei stepped into the barracks, he has been training every day, whether he is tidying up the housework or sweating profusely on the playground, he has never had such a leisurely time.

Long Fei looked up at the sky: "Captain Zhou, can this southeast wind really come?"

Zhou Yu showed a rare smile: "According to my experience, it should be coming soon. It's just a matter of time. I don't know how the fire attack is prepared?"

Long Fei nodded: "Don't worry, Governor Zhou, as long as the wind blows and Old General Huang takes the lead, I, Long Fei, will be the second. This battle will definitely defeat Cao Cao, so that he will never dare to go south again. step."

Zhou Yu took a sip of water, coughed violently for a while, and turned to look at Long Fei.Looking at it, Long Fei felt a little strange: "What's wrong with Dudu Zhou? What's so interesting about me?"

Zhou Yu said: "After defeating Cao Cao, what's General Long's plan? Send troops to the west, or lead the army to the east?"

Long Fei was a little embarrassed to ask this question.Now the two are allies, and it won't be long before this battle ends that they will become enemies. The former allies are now facing each other, and no one will find it unacceptable.Long Fei smiled awkwardly, but did not answer.

Zhou Yu smiled: "General Long has lofty ambitions, and his advisers are resourceful. It is not difficult for the generals to take charge of their own affairs. It is not difficult to dominate the world. You don't need to guess that Jiangdong and General Long will have a battle sooner or later. Maybe I can't see it. Zhou Yu only asks General Long for one thing." , as long as General Long agrees, I will die in peace!"

"Commander Zhou, please tell me!" Long Fei didn't put on airs.

Zhou Yu said: "I just hope that the general can avoid my lord's death, and treat him kindly!"

Long Fei was stunned: "What's the matter with Governor Zhou? They are not kind to you, but you still treat him like this, it's really kind and righteous!"

Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Your ministers have to die. Brother Bofu and I have joined forces and shared joys and sorrows. Unexpectedly, Brother Bofu died young. Which general with military power like me is not worried? Today I don’t blame anyone for this result, the language of Yue and the Han Xin of Han all have the same result, it’s just that I am not as far-sighted as Fan Li and Zhang Liang.”

Long Fei sighed: "I don't blame the subordinates for lack of vision, but the master has no confidence! If Gou Jian had the talent of Fu Chai, and if Gao Zu had the domineering spirit of Xiang Yu, there would be no tragedy like Wen Zhong and Han Xin."

Zhou Yu sighed: "How can there be such a powerful and domineering master in the world? Xia Zhiqi, Shang Zhitang, Zhou Zhiwen Wu, Qin Shihuang, I am afraid that they are not the kind of characters that General Long said? However, I think General Long has this condition, the world says that General Long is insidious and cunning, he does things eclectic, no matter in terms of martial arts or resourcefulness, he is absolutely invincible to anyone, eh! General Long is a good lord!"

"Hahaha..." Long Fei laughed loudly: "Zhou Gongjin also knows me!"

Zhou Yu also smiled helplessly: "Yes, I am still very confident! Hahaha, cough cough..."

The two chatted at the mouth of Zhou Yu's big tent, from the time when the sun was at its best at noon, to the west of the sun.The two were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. They had endless conversations, and their laughter spread out from time to time.Even the whole camp seems to be wandering in a quiet and peaceful environment, without bursts of murderous aura, and everyone is bathed in the afternoon sun, feeling extremely relaxed.

"Clatter..." Suddenly, there was a tremor above the head, and the streamer of the battle flag was blown by a gust of wind, and trembled twice towards the northwest.Both Long Fei's and Zhou Yu's eyes lit up at the same time, but unfortunately only for that short second.After waiting for a long time, the streamer did not shake again, and the two returned to their seats again.The sun had already set, and the temperature gradually dropped, and Zhou Yu's cough became louder and louder.Long Fei grabbed his cloak and covered Zhou Yu's chest. With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the soldiers to carry Zhou Yu into the big tent.

As soon as I stood up, there was another "crash" sound blowing above my head, not only the ribbon, but even the battle flag began to wave, and it became faster and more urgent.Not long after, bursts of dust rose up in the entire camp, attracting many people's eyes.
