A few days ago, Pang Tong advised Liu Bei to use disease to attack Cao's army, but Liu Bei did not take it. However, Pang Tong deeply felt the kindness of Liu Bei's knowledge, so he made his own decision and secretly sent Mi Fang to lead people across the river to find people who had the disease, put together several batches, and sent them to Cao Ying.
He expected that Jiangxia would be in chaos at this moment, and no one would stop him from robbing some villages. Who would have thought that his plan would be ruined again.
Pang Tong was depressed and had knots in his heart.
Lu Meng watched coldly, feeling that although Pang Tong had many wits, he was restrained at every turn. He felt disdainful in his heart, but comforted him: "From what General Mi said, I'm afraid it's Xia Houyuan who is causing trouble. Now that our army is short of personnel, I'm afraid we can only Let Xia Houyuan's remaining soldiers occupy those villages."
However, Pang Tong still refused to give up and argued with Lu Meng. Finally, the two of them discussed that Liu Bei's general Chen Dao would lead Liu Bei's navy of 500 people to continue to carry out epidemic-related matters, while Mi Fang stayed here to take Chen Dao's place. .
Among Liu Bei's troops, Chen Dao is not famous, but he is extremely powerful and brave. He should be able to fight against Xia Houyuan.
In fact, only 500 men were sent, but Pang Tong was still worried. He stared at the remaining soldiers Mi Fang brought back, and he had a plan in mind.
…
In Xiakou City, Liu Bei learned that Zhou Yu had won a great victory in the first battle. He was very happy. When he came down from the tower, he happened to meet Lu Su.
"Zijing, General Gongjin really defeated the enemy with laughter and talk. In this way, the country can be saved!"
Liu Bei happily grabbed Lu Su's hand, but saw that Lu Su was not happy and asked doubtfully: "Zijing, what's wrong?"
Lu Su said: "There are some changes in our army. My master is going east to Hefei."
"Why?"
Liu Bei was curious.
Since Zhou Yu let Liu Bei board the ship that day, Sun Quan has been stationed at the rear with a thousand men and has not come to see Liu Bei.
Liu Bei had already met Zhou Yu, but did not go to see Sun Quan.
So the two heroes looked at each other across the river, but never met in person.
Liu Bei thought that the victory would be a good time to meet, but unexpectedly Sun Quan was about to leave.
Lu Su shook his head and said, "I can't go into details. It's just that my lord was afraid that Commander Cheng Pu of the Eastern Route Army would attack Hefei and mess up his plan, so he went to supervise the battle in person."
Liu Bei sighed after hearing this: "Zhongmou and I have been friends for a long time. It seems that we can only wait until the battle is won to see us again."
He climbed up the tower again and saw that the ship flying Sun Quan's flag had set sail.
Liu Bei bowed far away, and all the excitement he had just heard about the victory was gone.
At this moment, the Seventh Army under the command of Zhao Yan was already attacking Miangkou, where Zhang Fei was fighting hard.
Since the fall of Shiyang City, Guan Yu's life and death are still unknown.
Cao's army is like Mount Tai, and the world rises and falls, only in Zhou Yu's thoughts.
Now that Sun Quan is gone, Liu Bei feels that he is alone and helpless in this world.
He called Jian Yong and Liu Yan to explain, and then went to see off Sun Qian who was about to set off.
At the city gate, Sun Qian is waiting here.
Liu Bei and Sun Qian repeatedly explained that they could only allow the Southern Huns to build momentum and not allow them to actually invade the country and plunder the people.
Sun Qian nodded in agreement.
He thought to himself that the military advisor was right, the lord was just too kind. Nowadays, life and death are at stake. Why worry about those shackles anymore? What's wrong with foreigners? If you can help the Han Dynasty, you are a good person.
I thought that Jin Rixi was not only a foreigner, but also an orphan under the care of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He lived a life worthy of the Chinese.
In the smoke and dust, Sun Qian carried the military counselor Pang Tong's bag, rode a fast horse, one man and one horse, and embarked on the journey north to the south of the Xiongnu alone.
…
On the other side, on the big ship, Sun Quan also bowed to the head of Xiakou City from a distance.
There was no one around, and his expression was cold.
He had already received analysis from Zhou Yu and others, and knew that Zhang Song was fake. He also received a message from Sun Bi and knew that Zhang Song had run away and even kidnapped Xiao Qiao.
He suppressed the news and did not send it to Zhou Yu because he was afraid that Zhou Yu would be worried and confused.
But now, Sun Quan knew that he had been tricked, and he felt very depressed.
"Hefei gives away 100,000 yuan to his head..."
Sun Quan snorted coldly, that Zhang Song really deceived him so hard that he was in vain and made him his confidant. Now it seems that he was like a clown in those few days.
The man not only played a trick on himself, but also did the same thing in front of his face and behind his back. At that time, he said that he would have a son like Sun Zhongmou, but behind his back, he said that he would give up his life!
A few days ago, Sun Quan thought Zhang Song was the only confidant he had ever met in his life. Now, Zhang Song has become his biggest enemy. If I don’t take revenge for this, I swear I won’t be a human being!
Zhang Song is fake, but the rift between Jiangdong's ministers has already occurred and will never go back.
Just like himself, he knew that the nursery rhymes were false, but still needed to be on guard against Zhou Yu's great master.
Coming out this time and supervising the battle from behind was originally a kind of check on Zhou Yu. However, he was very worried about Cheng Pu.
Of all the people, only his eldest sister-in-law, Da Qiao, could still be trusted by him.
He inherited the family business at the age of nineteen, and his eldest sister-in-law assisted him in gathering his eldest brother's inheritance, bringing all ministers and generals back to their cause, and achieved great success.
When he learned that he had been deceived, he immediately found Da Qiao and informed him of the specific situation.
Da Qiao also looked pale, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought about how he and Zhang Song spent day and night together without realizing the other party's plan at all.
Seeing that Sun Quan was more anxious than herself, she forced herself to calm down and calm down.
"Quan'er, sister-in-law wants to hear the truth from you, Zhou Gongjin... do you still trust him?"
Sun Quan was stunned and thought for a long time, and finally said: "Gong Jin commands the navy like an arm and a finger. I trust him."
Da Qiao looked into Sun Quan's eyes for a long time. Sun Quan finally said: "It's just the Sun family's inheritance..."
"I see."
Da Qiao smiled bitterly and nodded. She finally understood that the Lord of Jiangdong had chosen to be superior and to take the path of checking and balancing the ministers.
In other words, Sun Quan no longer trusts any ministers.
Zhang Song, Zhang Song, in just a few days, you awakened the tiger in Sun Quan's heart.
Da Qiao made a decision immediately: "Then, how about I supervise Gong Jin on Quan'er's behalf?"
"Good! Gong Jin is the eldest sister-in-law's sister-in-law. If the eldest sister-in-law is willing to go, then it is naturally the best!"
When the two separated, Sun Quan looked at Da Qiao for a long time.
This is probably the last time he has a heart-to-heart talk with his elder sister-in-law. From now on, he will only believe in himself.
He will go to Cheng Pu's army to supervise the battle, but he wants to see how Sun Zhongmou can give away one hundred thousand people!
…
Zhang Yun knelt down in Cao Cao's tent in disgrace.
After listening to him tell the story of the battle, the vanguard army was defeated in the first battle, more than 10,000 people lost their lives, and the other side gained many ships. Some of the generals were disdainful, some were angry, and some were frightened, and they all whispered to each other.
Cao Cao sat high on the throne, closed his eyes and meditated, showing no emotion or anger.
Cheng Yu's eyes were glaring and he said, "Is Navy Master Zhou Yu really so capable of advancing and retreating so freely?"
"It's not that I'm escaping the responsibility for the failure, it's just that Navy Commander Zhou Yu really did what he ordered. As soon as Zhou Yu's flag moved, many ships moved like arms and their formations changed without any mistakes!"
As he was speaking, Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at him.
Just one glance made Zhang Yunru fall into the ice cave.
He immediately prostrated himself on the ground and kept bowing his head: "Everyone in our army has seen this with their own eyes. Please take a closer look, my lord!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Cai Hao stepped out and said: "My lord, General Zhang's naval command is also at the forefront on the Yangtze River. He has lost, which proves that Zhou Yu is really powerful. Please be careful, lord!"
Cao Cao snorted coldly, and Cai Mao immediately fell to his knees.
The generals who were discussing with each other just now also stopped.
For a moment, a pin drop could be heard in the military tent. No general dared to make a sound. It was like a dead zone.
"go on."
Cao Cao only said three words and then closed his eyes again.
In the dead of winter, sweat appeared on Zhang Yun's face. He had already said everything he needed to say, so what else could he say?
However, Cai Mao was alert and thought of a rumor and reminded him: "General Zhang met General Beifu on the south bank?"
Zhang Yun immediately replied: "Yes, yes, General Beifu called us to light a fire and scared off Zhou Yu's navy. We have made great contributions!"
Then, he said that his army encountered a plague, which caused low morale during the march. Fortunately, Cao Wu discovered the opponent's plan and led Xia Houyuan to solve it.
After describing these things in detail, he saw Cao Cao on the main seat smiling.
At first it was just a low laugh, but then it was a laugh out loud.
Then the generals suddenly came to life, some laughed, some flattered, the military tent was so lively, and they suddenly came back to life from the dead zone.
A civil and military tent, placed outside, would be filled with people who would stamp their feet in admiration, but inside this military tent, everyone would be happy and angry because of the joy and anger of Cao Cao.
General Beifu's several attacks gave peace of mind to those who knew Cao Wu's ability in the big tent, and also impressed those who knew Cao Wu's power for the first time.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun looked at each other with fear and emotion in their hearts. It turned out that the general of Beifu had such an important position in Cao Cao's heart.
The two of them knew that Cao Cao did not treat the surrendered generals badly, but first they had to be capable people. If they were not capable enough, they would not be able to stand out in Cao's camp.
They surrendered from Jingzhou for the sake of their own future, so they had to secretly decide to work harder to train the navy in the future.
After everyone had finished talking, Xun You stood up and organized everyone to summarize strategies for dealing with the enemy.
Jia Xu closed his eyes and rested his mind and did not participate in the whole process. Cheng Yu proposed several ideas for naval battles, but they were all rejected by the generals because these ideas sounded easy but were difficult to implement.
At the end, Xun You said: "Lord, let's discuss it. If General Zhang's words are true, then we can only attack one area by force and directly press the army. No matter how many changes he makes, I will only defeat them with force!"
Cao Cao rubbed his forehead, nodded and said: "That's it. Attacking ten at a time is the correct way of war. But..."
He clicked on the Yangtze River sand table in front of him and continued: "Calculating the time, the things that can defeat Zhou Yu should have arrived."
…
With a loud "bang", a huge warship came out of a tributary of the Yangtze River and jumped into the rolling Yangtze River.
Cao Asi on the battleship wiped his gray face and said happily: "After so many days, we finally transported these three big guys to the Yangtze River!"
The three five-toothed ships arrived as promised, sailing downstream with full sail, heading towards the main battlefield at extremely fast speeds!
