Driven away by Uncle Liu, Cao Cao worshiped me as a military adviser!

"Here!"

Chapter 78 Cao Cao's Decisive Battle with Zhou Yu

The next day.

Fancheng, the prefect's mansion, and the big tent of the Chinese army.

Cao Cao and a group of counselors and generals surrounded the sand table.

Xiahou Dun picked up a few wooden soldier puppets and put them on the long sword.

He opened his mouth and said:

"My lord, Zang Ba led 55 soldiers and horses to complete the deployment. In half a day, [-] Jiangdong 'water ghosts' were captured and killed. The defense was strict, and no living things were allowed to leave Jiangdong."

After listening to Xiahou Dun's report, Cao Cao nodded:

"Okay! Zang Ba did a good job! Send a letter to tell him that after the task is completed, he will come back and increase his rank!"

Xiahou Dun hurriedly cupped his hands and thanked him when he heard the words:

"I thank the lord on Zang Ba's behalf!"

Civil servants and military generals saw that Zang Ba was just leading troops to prevent Jiangdong from going up to the north, so he could increase his rank by one level.

Wouldn't they, the main players in the Hefei battle, be rewarded more?

Everyone's fighting spirit is high in their hearts, and they can't wait to start the army now and start a war with Hefei!

Seeing the soldiers gearing up, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Xu Chu opened the curtain and walked into the big tent.

When Xiahou Dun saw Hu Hou coming, he said:

"Huhou, my lord just said that Zang Ba will be promoted to another level! This battle is a great opportunity to make contributions!"

However, Xu Chu shook his head when he heard the words.

He faced Cao Cao and said:

"Qi took the initiative to attack Hefei. I have a plan to break Jiangdong!"

Cao Cao frowned slightly when he heard this.

The battle was imminent, but he really wanted to hear what Hu Hou had to say.

Nodding his head, he opened his mouth and said:

"Okay, Zhongkang, tell me."

Xu Chu deling came to the sand table, he picked up the wooden cavalry puppet and put it in Jingzhou.

Seeing this, everyone was puzzled:

"Tiger Hou, what does this mean?"

"Does Huhou mean to let Jingzhou also send troops to attack Hefei?"

"Hefei is surrounded by land, and there are only waterways a hundred miles away. It will be useless for Cai Mao to attack with the navy?"

Zhang Liao and Xiahou Dun asked.

Xu Chu shook his head.

He opened his mouth and said:

73

"Let's attack Hefei, but actually take Zhou Yu!"

After Xu Chu's words fell, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Dun and other generals were all taken aback.

Feint to attack Hefei, but actually take Zhou Yu?

What do you mean?

Didn't the lord have already ordered the iron chain to the Yangtze River? Even if Zhou Yu wanted to do it, he couldn't make it through.

Zhang Liao and the others didn't want to understand.

But Jia Xu had figured everything out when she heard this sentence.

Feint to attack Hefei, but actually take Zhou Yu.

This is a plan to lure the snake out of the hole!

Hefei was captured, no matter in Zhuge's eyes or in Zhou Yu's eyes, he must think it.

Cao Cao will send a large army to besiege Hefei.

Whether it is Zhou Yu or Zhuge Liang, they will plan countermeasures for Cao Cao's actions.

For Zhuge Liang, it is the top priority to do everything possible to preserve Hefei.

For Zhou Yu, when sending troops to reinforce Hefei, he could also sneak attack Cao Ying along the way.

Right now, the biggest threat to Jiangdong in Cao Ying is not the army of millions.

Instead, it was the [-] navy commanded by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun in Jingzhou!

Cao Cao sent heavy troops to guard Fancheng and Ruxushui.

On the contrary, Jingzhou's defense force is not much.

If Jia Xu were Zhou Yu instead, he would definitely take advantage of the chaos to attack Jingzhou.

And General Xu Chu said "feign to attack Hefei, but actually take Zhou Yu", the purpose is to wipe out Zhou Yu's troops in Jingzhou!

Thinking of this, Jia Xu couldn't help being terrified.

His eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Such an ingenious and ingenious scheme actually came from Huhou's hands!

How far has Hu Hou's talent grown? !

Jia Xu was not the only one who thought of this.

Cao Cao and others are smart?

After Xu Chu placed the wooden cavalry puppet in Jingzhou, Cao Cao already had some guesses in his mind.

When Xu Chu (agfa) said the words "feign to attack Hefei, but actually take Zhou Yu", Cao Cao had already fully understood Huhou's thoughts.

This plan is indeed a clever one!

If Zhou Yu can be beheaded in Jingzhou, the bad news will be brought back to Jiangdong, which will definitely cause chaos.

At that time, the army will be overwhelmed.

Now that the veteran Cheng Pu is dead, if Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, can also be killed.

Then the Jiangdong Navy is nothing to worry about!

The six counties in Jiangdong will also become my Cao Cao's pocket!

As for how to kill Zhou Yu, Cao Cao already had a plan in mind.

When I said goodbye to Mr. Xiao that day, Mr. Xiao left a lot of tricks in his pocket.

Among them, there is a plan to trap and kill Zhou Yu!

In Mr. Xiao's strategy, let him Cao Cao lead the army to prepare to attack Hefei, and at the same time send people to say with great fanfare that he will attack Jiangdong.

The reason for doing this is to lower Zhou Yu's vigilance.

In this way, Zhou Yu was lured to go north and attack Jingzhou.

Before Zhou Yu arrived, the [-] sailors in Jingzhou were transferred away in advance, leaving Zhou Yu an empty city!

After Zhou Yu entered the water village, he set fire to the water village again.

Even Zhou Yu was burned to death in the fire!

Empty city plan + fire attack plan.

This is the plot left by Mr. Xiao to trap and kill Zhou Yu.

Hearing what Xu Chu said now, Cao Cao suddenly became enlightened.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Mr. Xiao has such talents, why doesn't he want to help me?

However, right now the battle is the most important.

Cao Cao had a plan in mind.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Jia Xu, quickly order people to spread the news that I am going to attack Jiangdong. The wider the news, the better!"

The world chessboard in which all three parties are in the game has been set.

Let's see who can have the last laugh...

…………

Jiangdong, Jianye Palace.

The news that Cao Cao decided to attack Jiangdong spread in the six counties of Jiangdong.

As the lord of Jiangdong, how could Sun Quan not know.

In the huge Jianye Palace, Sun Quan looked at the bamboo slips in his hand.

All the intentions related to Cao Cao are recorded in detail above.

"Cao Cao wants to attack Jiangdong!"

"Cao Cao's army of one million has already set off!"

"Cao Cao is determined to destroy Jiangdong!"

"Millions of troops are going to Jiangdong, and Jiangdong is in danger!"

Every word and every sentence pierced Sun Quan's heart.

No matter how much he didn't believe it, under the overwhelming rumors, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart.

Sun Quan looked up at Lu Su and asked:

"Zijing, what do you think?"

Lu Su shook his head upon hearing this, and said:

"My lord, I thought these rumors and news were nothing more than the smoke from Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao's navy is still immature, and a million-strong army can't swim, and they will lose their combat effectiveness in an instant when they get on a warship."

"In addition, General Gan Ning set fire to the water village, and Cao Cao lost three thousand new sailors in vain."

"Let me ask, under such circumstances, if the lord is that thief Cao, would he send troops?"

Sun Quan thought for a while when he heard the words.

What Lu Su said makes sense. Cao Cao is now attacking Jiangdong, and all the conditions are not mature.

And Cao Cao is not the kind of person who is eager for quick success.

Without a complete grasp, you will never act rashly.

Although he understood this truth in his heart, Sun Quan still couldn't figure it out.

Cao Cao didn't attack Jiangdong, so why did he release the news of attacking Jiangdong?

With Cao Cao's temperament, he will never do useless things.

What is the intention of releasing the news that Jiangdong is going to be attacked?

Sun Quan couldn't figure it out, so he continued to ask:

"Zijing, in your opinion, why did Cao Cao release such news?"

Lu Su frowned slightly when he heard this, he shook his head and said:

"My lord, I didn't even think about it. The only thing I can think of is that it has something to do with Hefei."

"The more Cao Cao said he wanted to attack Jiangdong, the more he wanted to attack Hefei."
