"Xu Chu, Liu Bei only has 2000 troops. Even if Sun Wu lends him troops, he is definitely not a match for a [-] army."

"Hefei is dangerous and the city is high. As long as you don't go out of the city and form an array, there is no way to capture Hefei without an army of one million."

"But in this world, besides me, who else can have an army of one million?"

"Even if they really attack Hefei, they can attack south immediately and take Jiangdong in one fell swoop!"

"At that time, even if Hefei falls, Liu Bei will still be attacked."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he patted Xu Chu's shoulder heavily and said:

"Go down and go to the internal affairs to receive the reward."

Cao Cao was very happy that Xu Chu could say the same words as Guo Fengxiao.

After hearing about accepting the reward, Xu Chu was not happy at all.

Because, this time, Chen Fan was right again.

The Lord knew that Liu Bei would attack Hefei, but he did not send troops.

Xu Chu was worried.

The matter in Hefei is of great importance.

No, I have to find Mr. Xiao!

After Xu Chu left, the counselor Jia Xu cupped his hands and said:

"My lord, you should be careful what Huhou says."

Cao Cao nodded after hearing 750 words, and he said:

"Okay, then you can draw up a booklet and send it to Le Jin, telling him to strictly abide by Hefei and not to make aggressive efforts."

……

Jiangdong, inside the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, was silent.

It was dark, and the maids and servants in the mansion had already rested.

Even the grooms who keep the horses in the stables sleep in their clothes.

In the entire Governor's Mansion, only Zhou Yu and his wife Xiao Qiao haven't rested yet.

It's not that there is no sleepiness, but Zhou Yu is actually worried.

This surprise attack on Jiangxia was an important battle to determine the situation in Jiangdong.

Logically speaking, unless he is someone who has been with Zhou Yu day and night for many years, he will never be able to see through it.

But right now, 8000 Koto Haojilang lost [-] people.

Hundreds of large and small warships were damaged.

The most important thing is that the old general Cheng Pucheng died.

Although Jiang Dong's men were fighting against the enemy because of the death of General Cheng, their fighting spirit was high.

But in the final analysis, Jiangdong still lost a general!

At present, Jiangxia's loss of money and food is not too much.

Cao Cao's old thief can recover with a little self-cultivation.

If it weren't for General Gan Ning's success in burning Cao Cao's newly built water village.

Then this raid on Jiangxia will be tantamount to a big defeat!

No, you can't sit still like this.

A plan must be made for the coming great war.

Thinking so, Zhou Yu immediately said:

"Ma'am, get a map of the Central Plains!"

With the order, Xiao Qiao got up and took out the map of the Central Plains from the dictionary, and spread it on the desk.

Then he got up and poured tea, and stayed by his husband's side.

Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao met each other's eyes and smiled softly.

In the life of a king, Xiao Qiao alone is enough.

After drinking the hot tea in the bowl, Zhou Yu frowned and began to study on the map.

Cao Cao dominates Fancheng, and Jianye can be reached by crossing the south of the Yangtze River.

Jingzhou Cai Mao's navy has [-] troops, one (agfa) is like a sharp sword on Jiangdong's throat.

If you are sitting still, take no action.

The Kaicheng surrender of Jingzhou is Jiangdong's tomorrow!

Zhou Yu looked north along the river, and soon he found a way to win that was enough to choke Cao Cao's throat!

And the decisive point lies in Hefei!

Zhou Yu's brows and eyes widened!

If Hefei is taken down, the hands of Xu Du and Jianye can be taken away!

However, the only difficulty is that there are [-] garrisons in Hefei.

He has only 10 people in the six counties of Jiangdong, including cavalry and sailors.

Take the soldiers of the six counties to gamble on a Hefei.

Even if Zhou Yu had the courage, the lord Sun Quan would not allow it.

This is equivalent to betting on a possibility with the future of the entire Jiangdong!

If the army is defeated, Jiangdong will perish.

But if you don't gamble, then wait until Cao Cao's old thief recuperates and raises his troops to attack.

Jiangdong is also dead!

Is there no way to take down the land of Hefei without hurting the foundation of Jiangdong?

Just as Zhou Yu was full of sadness, the servant stepped into the hall quickly.

He bowed and saluted, and said:

"Great Governor, please see me outside Zhuge Hall in Nanyang."

Nanyang Zhuge? !

Listening to the servant's report, the corners of Zhou Yu's mouth curled up slightly.

This is really nowhere to be found, and it takes no effort to get it.

It has been more than a month since he, Liu Bei, and his party went to our Jiangdong land to seek refuge.

During this month, I have treated Liu Bei well.

Preferential treatment with the courtesy of princes.

Now is the time to repay your gratitude.

What's more, he said that he had just experienced two disastrous defeats in Xinye and Jiangxia, and Liu Bei urgently needed a victory to turn the tide of the battle.

This city of Hefei, Liu Bei has to take it if he wants to!

If you don't take it, you have to take it!

I'm afraid that Zhuge Liang's visit late at night is for this reason!

That being the case, the governor made a favor and made this happen.

With this in mind, Zhou Yu waved his sleeves and said loudly:

"Mr. Zhuge's visit, how can you be negligent, please hurry up!"

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, the servant hurriedly trotted to summon him outside the hall.

After the servant left, Xiao Qiao, who was nestled in Zhou Yu's arms, sat up straight.

She asked suspiciously:

"Husband, Nanyang Zhuge, but that Zhuge who is so crouching, a dragon and a phoenix, that one person can be safe in the world?"

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said:

"It is indeed that Zhuge, but no matter how powerful you are, I will come to beg your husband now!"

When Zhou Yu said these words, it could be said that he was in high spirits.

He waved his hand, signaling Xiao Qiao to step back first.

The next thing he and Zhuge were going to talk about, it was inconvenient for a woman to be present.

Xiao Qiao was also sensible, she bowed and saluted, and stepped back with small steps.

However, he did not leave the hall completely.

Xiao Qiao was very curious about this famous Zhuge Wolong.

She retreated behind the screen behind Zhou Yu, just wanting to take a sneak peek at what Zhuge Wolong looked like.

Seeing that Xiao Qiao was so curious, Zhou Yu smiled lightly and did not stop her.

Not long after, a young gentleman with a feather fan and a scarf walked over.

Walking into the hall, Zhuge bowed and saluted, and said:

"Liang, I've met the governor."

Zhou Yu stood up to greet him, and said:

"Brother Zhuge, why do you need to see outsiders? You and I have already seen each other at the funeral of Old General Cheng."

Zhuge also nodded and smiled when he heard the words.

Under Zhou Yu's hospitality, he took the second seat, and Zhou Yu took the honorary seat back.

Zhuge scanned the hall calmly.

The map of the Central Plains placed on Zhou Yu's desk immediately caught his eye.

Zhuge guessed in his heart that before he came, Zhou Yu probably knew that Hefei was a must.

After taking his seat, Zhou Yu called someone to pour wine for Zhuge.

He opened his mouth and asked:

"Brother Zhuge, you have come to my Jiangdong land for more than a month, are you comfortable?"

Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and replied:

"Thanks to the great governor's concern, Liang and the lord live comfortably."

"It's just that the lord cares about all people, and he is very worried about the growing momentum of Prime Minister Cao."

"Now, the lord has suffered two major defeats, and half his life's foundation has been destroyed."

"It even hurt the people of Xinye."

"My lord is ashamed of this matter, and I blame myself."

Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Zhou Yu said:

"Mr. Xuande is loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous, and is close to the people. Even if he led the people of Xinye to advance and retreat together, Gong Jin felt ashamed."

"Please advise Duke Xuande not to blame yourself too much, but to work hard to govern."

Halfway through speaking, Zhou Yu's eyes froze.

He looked at Zhuge Liang and asked:

"I don't know why brother Zhuge came to visit late at night. I'm afraid it's not as simple as complaining for a long time?"

The polite words are over, so let's go straight to the topic and talk about Hefei.

Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and saluted when he heard the words, he said:

"My lord was defeated and went to Xinye, Jiang Xia was born in danger, and he has a deep hatred with Prime Minister Cao."
