The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 407 Chapter 406
"Zhou Yu proposed to meet Yu Jin!" Zhang Yan said expressionlessly.

After Li Dian heard this, he said nervously, "His Royal Highness, Yu Jin met Zhou Yu in the battle before. Now that Zhou Yu wants to meet Yu Jin, we can't find someone to impersonate us. What should we do?"

Zhang Yan stood there quietly without speaking, but he was thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

After a while, Zhang Yan said, "Since Zhou Yu offered to meet Yu Jin, we might as well give him a blessing and let Yu Jin really meet Zhou Yu, and kill two birds with one stone!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yan spoke out the strategy he had contemplated, and then called Xu Chu over, and secretly ordered Xu Chu and Li Dian to start preparations.

In Xunyang City, Yu Jin was busy receiving two generals, Chen Ying and Lu Dai, who had just arrived here. Mao Jie was by his side. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

These days, Yu Jin has always been in a good mood. As the saying goes, people feel refreshed on happy occasions, which just confirms this truth.

However, in Yu Jin's inner world, there is still a little uneasiness, that is, Sun Yi has been taking his reply for so long, why has there been no reply yet?

Not only that, even Li Dian seldom came to Xunyang City these days, always saying that he was busy training soldiers, and Mao Jie was the only one who accompanied him.

Just as everyone was drinking and drinking in the hall, a man in a well-dressed man quietly came to Yu Jin's side, whispered a few words to Yu Jin, and then slipped a letter to Yu Jin .

Yu Jin accepted the letter calmly, pretending nothing happened, and continued to drink with Chen Ying and Lu Dai.

After the banquet, both Chen Ying and Lu Dai got drunk and were sent back to the guest room by Yu Jin. Yu Jin walked to Mao Jie and said softly, "Come to my study."

Mao Jie nodded, followed closely behind Yu Jin's buttocks, the two of them entered the study one after the other, Yu Jin stepped back to the left and right, and then opened the letter that was delivered at the banquet to read.

The letter was written by Zhang Yan by imitating Zhou Yu's notes. He first praised Yu Jin, and then got to the point, saying that he wanted to meet Yu Jin. The meeting place was chosen on a small island in the center of Peng Lize. Soldiers and entourage shall not exceed 20 people.

After reading the letter, Yu Jin handed it to Mao Jie directly, and said softly, "Look first!"

After reading it, Mao Jie frowned slightly, and asked bluntly, "I don't know what the governor's opinion is?"

Yu Jin said: "Zhou Yu asked me to meet, it's not a bad thing, I decided to accept the invitation."

Mao Jie said: "But Zhou Yu has many tricks, if this is Zhou Yu's plan to harm the governor, what should we do?"

"Hahaha... I have spent half my life in the forbidden army. I have never seen anything in the world. I am still afraid of Zhou Yu? Although Zhou Yu said in the letter that he would not lead soldiers, will I really obey his words and not bring a soldier? He still can't control me!" Yu Jin said with a smile.

"The island in the center of Peng Lize is very small, with a radius of only three miles. If our army leads the army there, it will be clear at a glance. Besides, the island is surrounded by water, and our army's water combat capabilities are extremely poor. If there is a conflict, I'm afraid It may not be Zhou Yu's naval opponent. I think it's better to change the meeting place and change it to land. In this way, our army can set up an ambush in advance, and if anything goes wrong, Zhou Yu can be killed directly!" Mao Jie offered advice.

Yu Jin waved his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome. How many soldiers and horses can a small island with a radius of three miles hide? Moreover, we can tell at a glance whether Zhou Yu is leading troops. If we see Zhou Yu coming with troops, we can avoid them. Just send envoys to pass messages between the two armies by boat."

"But……"

"Don't worry, if you change the meeting place, it will make Zhou Yu feel that I will be afraid of him. I just want to tell him that I am not afraid of him, even if his navy is powerful, so what? Don't forget, Chen Among the army brought by Ying and Lu Dai, there are thunderbolts! As long as they dare to mess around, we will use those thunderbolts to deal with Zhou Yu!" Yu Jin said confidently.

Mao Jie stopped talking, but he was still a little uneasy. Even so, he followed Yu Jin's instructions and began to prepare for the meeting in two days.

At the same time, Zhou Yu, who was far away on the south bank of the Yangtze River, received a reply letter from Zijin. The content of the reply letter was crisp and neat, and he fully agreed to Zhou Yu's request for a meeting.

This point was beyond Zhou Yu's expectations. He thought that Yu Jin would bargain with him and change the meeting place. After all, Yu Jin's army was extremely poor in water combat, and he even chose a spare meeting place.

However, since Yu Jin agreed to his request to meet, it was the best thing.

Later, Zhou Yu wrote back and made an appointment to meet on Peng Lize's island two days later.

After Zhou Yu sent someone to deliver the reply letter, a soldier from outside the door came in, paid homage to Zhou Yu respectfully, and said, "Governor, General Guan, please see me!"

"Please!" Zhou Yu was about to send someone to invite Guan Yu to the mansion for a talk, but he never thought that Guan Yu would come to him on his own initiative.

A while later, Guan Yu, led by his own soldiers, came to the study where Zhou Yu was. As soon as they met, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Governor, Guan has led the army to Chaisang for several days. I don't know when we to take action against the enemy?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "General Guan, please be safe, don't be impatient, I was about to send someone to find General Guan, but I didn't expect General Guan to come here first. However, this is also good, because I am going to discuss something with General Guan! "

"Is it about sending troops?" Guan Yu asked.

Zhou Yu chuckled and said, "General Guan is indeed a prophet. I am looking for General Guan to discuss the matter of dispatching troops. If there is no accident, the troops should be dispatched at dawn the day after tomorrow."

There was a smile on Guan Yu's face, and he was gearing up and said, "Great, Guan has been doing nothing for the past few days. If he doesn't send troops, I'm afraid Guan will have lice on his body. Governor, I will Go back and make some preparations, at dawn the day after tomorrow, Guan and the five thousand soldiers will all obey the Commander's order."

Zhou Yu smiled happily and said, "If the relevant general helps me, I will be able to succeed immediately. However, I won't need five thousand troops the day after tomorrow. I only need to shut down the general alone."

"Only me?" Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Commander, although Guan has the courage of a man, but after all, two fists are no match for four hands. If I am alone, I am afraid that I will be a little powerless !"

"Oh, it's General Guan. At dawn the day after tomorrow, I'm going to meet someone, and I can only have twenty people go with me. However, none of my subordinates can handle martial arts like a general, so, I want to ask General Guan to go with me to protect me." Zhou Yu hurriedly explained.

"So that's how it is. I thought it was time to send troops. However, since the Metropolitan Governor needs to use Guan, Guan must be obliged! At dawn the day after tomorrow, Guan will definitely follow the Metropolitan."

Zhou Yu was so happy that he wanted to set up a banquet for Guan Yu, but Guan Yu refused, saying that it would not be too late to drink after defeating the enemy.

After Guan Yu left, he went straight back to the barracks. As soon as he entered the tent, four men dressed as soldiers followed him.

One of them directly asked, "Yun Chang, how is the situation?"

Guan Yu turned around, clasped his fists respectfully towards the person who spoke, and said, "Brother, Zhou Yu has no plans to send troops, but at dawn the day after tomorrow, he wants me to go with him to meet someone, and according to what he means, he wants me to protect him thorough."

The person standing in front of Guan Yu was none other than Guan Yu's eldest brother, Liu Bei, the governor of Jingnan.

The three people standing beside Liu Bei are Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Yi Ji.

In name, Guan Yu came alone, but in fact, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Yi Ji also came with Guan Yu, dressed as Guan Yu's personal soldiers, so that Guan Yu was in the open, and the rest were in secret. The purpose is to take this opportunity to secretly check Jiangdong's military strength and see whether it is necessary to form an alliance with Sun Ce after his death.

The crowd came to Chaisang City for many days. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Yi Ji wandered around the city, and also inquired about some situations. They learned that this time Jiangdong was under the command of Sun Quan, winning more with less, And defeated the invading enemy, and killed the Hussar General Chen Deng.

These news all increased Liu Bei's confidence in forming an alliance with Sun Quan, but what made Liu Bei hesitant was the overall military combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Army.Liu Bei was afraid that Sun Quan would pull him back, so he still decided to take a look at the combat effectiveness of Jiangdong's army with his own eyes.

However, after waiting here for several days, but never waited until the moment when the war came, Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to ask Zhou Yu.But what I didn't want to get was another result like this.

After listening to Guan Yu's words, Liu Bei stroked his beard and thought quietly. After a long time, he said to Guan Yu: "The day after tomorrow, you will follow Zhou Yu to see who he is going to see. By the way Inquire again, when will you start a war with the enemy, if you don't start a war, you can tell him that you want to lead the army back to Changsha and put a little pressure on Zhou Yu."

Guan Yu said "here", and then said to Liu Bei: "Brother, don't move around much these two days, and stay in the barracks honestly, I'm afraid you will attract the attention of Jiangdong Army."

Liu Bei nodded, and said: "I know what to do, I know in the letter, you don't have to worry about it, second brother. And through the understanding of the past few days, you have almost understood the strength of the Jiangdong Army, but the only thing that lacks In a war, only in the war can I see the fighting power of the Jiangdong army with my own eyes. Second brother, you will follow Zhou Yu the day after tomorrow, and you must persuade Zhou Yu to start the war intentionally or unintentionally."

"Here!" Guan Yu clasped his fists and said.
