Chapter 123 Sun Liu Alliance 9
After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Quan said happily: "Gongjin's words are enough to explain my doubts. Zibu has no plans and is deeply disappointed. Du Qing and Zijing have the same heart as Gu. You can choose Zijing and Cheng Pu will go forward today. I will continue to send troops and carry more resources to serve as my descendants. If your front army is not satisfied, you will be lonely. If you are close friends and thieves, there is no doubt that you will be lonely."
Zhou Yu bid farewell to Sun Quan and thought to himself, "Kong Ming had already predicted the intention of Wu Hou. His plan was higher than me, and he would definitely be Jiangdong even if he had been around!" He suddenly felt murderous in his heart!
But he thought again that the war was about to come. Just when Sun and Liu worked together, they had to defeat Cao Cao first and then slow down. Zhou Yu was not without serious people, so he temporarily put aside his desire to kill Zhuge Liang.
After Zhou Yu left, Sun Quan also fell into deep thought. Although there was no doubt about the decision to fight against Cao Cao, he had to worry about the arrangement of troops.
Zhou Yu expected that in order to win the war, Sun Quan was preparing to mobilize all available soldiers in Jiangdong, with a total of about 100,000.
But if he wants to hand over all the 100,000 elite troops to commander Zhou Yu, it would be equivalent to handing over his life to Zhou Yu. Sun Quan would definitely not be able to do this!
Originally, Sun Quan wanted to dispatch 50,000 troops to Zhou Yu's request, but he only commanded 50,000 troops.
Because Zhou Yu used troops like a god, no one in Jiangdong could surpass him. With the same force, he was still in a dangerous situation.
Therefore, Sun Quan, with the attitude of "being cautious in others", decided to dispatch only 30,000 troops to Zhou Yu.
In this case, Sun Quan personally took 70,000 elite troops behind and could steadily suppress Zhou Yu who was in front, not afraid of any trouble for him!
Even if Zhou Yu was defeated in the battle with Cao Cao, he could establish a defense line behind him to prevent Cao Cao from continuing to advance.
At dawn the next day, Zhou Yu went to the camp and sat high in the central army tent. He stood with swords and axes on his left and right, gathering civil servants and generals to obey orders.
On that day, Deputy Governor Cheng Punai was ill and refused to leave, so he ordered his eldest son Cheng Zi to participate in the military convention on his behalf.
Although Cheng Pu is not a top brave general and is also a well-known old general in Jiangdong, his wisdom cannot be comparable to Zhou Yu, which has caused Zhou Yu to come from behind.
Cheng Pu is old and the subtle relationship between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu has long been seen through by him!
This time he did not participate in Zhou Yu's military discussion, and it was specially designed for Sun Quan to show it, which shows that his relationship with Zhou Yu is not harmonious!
Cheng Pu followed Sun Jian and often made suggestions. He admired Zhou Yu's wisdom, but he still had his own opinions on his ability to command troops.
After Zhou Yu gathered in general, he planned to find only 30,000 troops, and Zhou Yu didn't care, because it took time for Sun Quan to allocate his troops. He led his army to the Sanjiang Port to set up camps and stalemates from Cao Cao across the river.
Zhou Yu had finished rectifying his men and was about to fight with Cao Cao for a while to see the truth and reality. Suddenly, Cao Cao sent an envoy to send a letter to him.
Zhou Yu called the envoy in, and the envoy presented the letter with the cover saying: "The Prime Minister of Han was sent to the governor Zhou to open it." This is the common format of writing for the superiors to the subordinates.
Zhou Yu was furious when he saw this, and he didn't even open the reading. He tore the letter to pieces and threw it underground, and killed the soldiers and sent them to the envoy.
Lu Su hurriedly stopped him and said, "The two countries will fight each other, but the envoy will come if they are not killed."
Zhou Yu said: "Tomorrow I am about to fight Cao Cao in a water battle, and behead the envoy to demonstrate!" Then he killed the envoy, took the first rank back from the person, and brought a letter of conspiracy to fight in the center of the Sanjiangkou waters tomorrow.
Zhou Yu immediately promoted to the hall: Gan Ning was appointed as the pioneer, Han Dang was appointed as the left wing, and Jiang Qin was appointed as the right wing. Yu led the generals to support him. The next day, the next 4th day, the next 5th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the next 4th day, the
Cao Cao knew that Zhou Yu destroyed the book and killed the envoy. After reading the book of war, he was furious. The next morning, he called Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and other groups of surrendered generals in Jingzhou to the front. Cao was the rear army and urged the warships to drive to Sanjiangkou.
I saw the ships of Eastern Wu coming down the river. A general led by the leader sat on the bow and shouted, "I am a peaceful person! Who dares to come and fight me?"
Gan Ning was originally doing the business that was not worthy of money, known as the Jinfan thief, but later defected to Huang Zu. Because he had no family background, although he was extremely brave, he was not valued by Huang Zu, so he defected to Jiangdong.
Ganning has a strong martial arts skills and once ran rampant in the Yangtze River as a Jinfan thief. It is also a terrifying existence in Jingzhou. None of the surrendered generals in Jingzhou were willing to stand up to fight the enemy. However, the generals under Cao Cao were not familiar with water battles and watched the battle on the large ship behind...
As the commander-in-chief of the navy, Cai Mao was also a surrendered general, so he could not weaken his momentum. He had to ask his brave cousin Cai Wei to come out to respond to the enemy, and reminded him not to seek merit, but to retreat without seeking a healthy life.
The two ships were approaching, and Gan Ning picked up a bow and arrow, and watched Cai Kui shoot. He couldn't dodge and fell down as he responded to the string.
Ganning drove a ship forward, and tens of thousands of crossbows were launched at the same time, and the front of Cao's army could not reach the end.
Zhou Yu waved the flag, Jiang Qin on the right and Han Dang on the left, rushed straight into Cao's army.
Most of the Cao army were Qing and Xu's soldiers, who were not familiar with water wars, and half of the Jingzhou navy were also retreating.
On the surface of the river, warships in Jiangdong were spread out in a row, and three warships including Ganning and other roads crossed the water.
Zhou Yu urged the ship to help the battle again, and countless Cao's army was shot with guns.
From Si Shi to Wei Shi, although Zhou Yu was profitable, he had few soldiers after all, and Cao Cao's army gradually stabilized its formation.
Zhou Yu was afraid that he would be outnumbered, so he ordered the gold to be summoned and the ship was taken away.
When Cao's army was defeated, Cao Cao climbed to the dry camp, reorganized the soldiers and called Cai Mao. Zhang Yun blamed him: "The soldiers of the Eastern Wu were defeated by others, and you are not careful!"
Cai Mao said: "The Jingzhou naval army has not been trained for a long time; Qing and Xu's army have never been accustomed to water wars. Therefore, you have suffered defeat. Now you should set up a water camp first, and Qing and Xu's army are in the middle and Jingzhou army is outside. Only then can you be able to teach them well every day."
Cao said, "Since you are the governor of the navy, you can do it cheaply, why bother to report to me!"
So Zhang and Cai went to build a water camp and train a water army.
...
...
Since Zhuge Liang followed Lu Su to Jiangdong, Liu Bei has trained troops with Guan Yu in Jiangxia, waiting for news of Kong Ming and Sun Quan.
That day, the envoy sent back by Zhuge Liang finally brought news of the successful alliance between Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan. Kong Ming wrote a letter and asked Liu Bei to activate 30,000 troops and horses to station in Fankou at Sanjiangkou, preparing to join Jiangdong to attack Cao Cao.
Liu Bei was overjoyed and raised all the Jiangxia army. He was only more than 20,000, and could only leave hundreds of troops for Liu Qi to guard Jiangxia.
Liu Bei was an honest gentleman. The alliance said that he dispatched 30,000 troops. He did not make up for the numbers and was ready to bring the troops from Xiakou with him...
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others led their troops to Xiakou and joined forces with Zhang Fei. The troops were just enough for 30,000, but Xiakou became an empty city.
Xiakou is the gateway of Jiangxia, so there must be no mistakes. When Liu Bei was struggling, Ma Su, who went out to visit friends, happened to come back, and brought three generals and two thousand soldiers, which solved Liu Bei's problem in an instant.
