Chapter 2036 They are all bosses, and they have arrangements


    When the emergency military information came in, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai were in the hall, looking at the huge map, discussing the deployment and deployment of troops, and dealing with various chores in military logistics.


    『Cao Jun went south? ! 』


    Zhou Yu frowned.


    Huang Gai was also at the side, hesitantly said, "This is really coming!" 』


    Ordinary generals may not understand the problem of Cao Jun going south, but as Zhou Yu, he can''t understand it all the more.


    Cao Jun joined the chaos in Jingzhou. Although this was expected, it was a headache to see this day. After all, Cao Jun''s joining meant that the situation in Jingzhou would become more complicated and complicated. Countless variables have arisen. If Cao Jun goes south and sweeps Jingzhou, even if Jiangling is captured now, whether he can hold it is still a severe test.


    Everything is not about victory, but about failure.


    Can Sun Quan bear the early profit retracement? According to Zhou Yu''s judgment, Sun Quan is obviously unwilling, but Zhou Yu can''t guarantee that he will be able to win Jingzhou or keep Jiangling.


    This is determined by Jiangdong''s inherent disadvantages.


    Jiangdong has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, but it is also because of the Yangtze River, so the overall battle line is very long. If it was easier to say before, now that Cao Cao is building a new city, it is like a nail buried in the waist of the Yangtze River. Who can ensure that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu will pay full attention to it? When it was placed in Jingzhou, would Cao Cao use this nail to hit Jiangdong''s waist?


    Sometimes, there are not many soldiers, and a blow at a critical moment can often determine the direction of the entire battle...


    The more critical issue is that the relationship between Sun Quan and the Jiangdong gentry is not very harmonious.


    Zhou Yu advised Sun Quan before, meaning to let Sun Quan refrain from haste and forbearance, and have the ambition to swallow Wu even if it is three thousand Yuejia. Unfortunately, Sun Quan did not understand Zhou Yu''s meaning, but became suspicious of Zhou Yu. I wonder if Zhou Yu is deliberately suppressing him so that he cannot raise his head so that he can control the government...


    Well, it may be a bit too much to mention the word "government" in Jiangdong. After all, those bad things in Jiangdong are not really government affairs. But if we say that Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong, and Zhou Yu is Sun Ce''s good friend, equivalent to a foreign relative, then the basic pattern will come out.


    Sun Quan boasted that he was talented, but in fact he still couldn’t get rid of the old man model. Sun Quan couldn’t believe Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu couldn’t believe Sun Quan either, but they had to join hands at certain times.


    Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, then said: "General Huang..."


    『Commander, please command! ’Huang Gai responded with cupped hands.


    『Someone is worried about Cao Jun’s new city, and there may be arrangements. If he sends troops to cut off the Dajiang waterway…” Zhou Yu said slowly, “I’m still bothered by General Huang’s hard work, leading a thousand sailors to strictly guard against the movement of Cao Jun’s new city! 』


    Huang Gai suddenly took orders, "If Cao Jun''s son dares to come, someone will let him know how powerful Jiang Dong Erlang is!" 』


    Zhou Yu looked at Huang Gai''s back and sighed slightly. If everyone was like Huang Gai, things would be easier.


    The Sun family...


    Zhou Yu shook his head slightly.


    The Sun family is really carved out of the same mold. Sun Jian has a strong personality, Sun Ce is even more horny, and Sun Quan looks soft on the surface, but in fact it is full of edges and corners.


    Jiangdong people look down on the Sun family and think that the Sun family is not in the right place. This is the root cause of the disease planted by Yuan Shu at that time. After all, the matter of the Sun family is contrary to the original moral values ??of the big man. It will be much more natural after one hand like General Hussars, and it will not arouse the disgust of others...


    Although Sun Ce rejected Yuan Shu’s call for help at that time, in some respects it was Yuan Shu’s own fault, and there was a reason for it. Even if there was this or that problem, in the traditional concept of the Han Dynasty, this is the following and the above!


    It’s not a big problem if it’s less than gram, the problem is that it’s only half of the “gram”!


    This may sound a bit convoluted, but it is actually not difficult to understand.


    It''s like Goujian.


    At that time, King Goujian of Yue also knelt and licked, and he knelt and licked more thoroughly than Sun Ce, but why did everyone look down on Sun Ce''s deeds, but respected "Three Thousand Yuejia" so much? It was because at the time when the Yue people were descending, the Wu people seemed very domineering at least on the surface, so the successful defeating the "full" King Goujian of Yue naturally received a lot of admiration and admiration.


    And what did Sun Ce do at that time?


    When Yuan Shu was strong, he swallowed his anger and knelt down, but when Yuan Shu was weak, he turned his face brazenly. If you really have the ability, then when Yuan Shu is arrogating, don''t write letters and remonstrances without pain, and even sneak past Yuan Shu to pay tribute to the court...


    If Sun Ce could be like Cao Cao, without saying a word, when he heard Yuan Shu''s arrogance, he would hold high the banner and march forward, destroying Yuan Shu in one fell swoop, people in the world would naturally admire him!


    Jiangdong gentry even felt that the roots of Cao''s better than Sun''s were here. Compared with the heroic Cao Cao at that time, Sun Ce at that time was like a clown who was stealing and picking up cheap.


    Zhou Yu smiled wryly.


    But who would have thought of that at the time? At that time when Yuan Shu''s arrogance was in full swing, who would have thought that Yuan Shu was actually just a flash in the pan?


    Sometimes Zhou Yu couldn''t help thinking, if he didn''t rely on Yuan Shu, would it be better if he relied on Sun Ce to defeat Jiangdong by himself?


    It''s like Fiji.


    Big Han Hussar General...


    For a branch of the Heluo branch, now that he has such a reputation, isn''t it a kind of inferiority? But for this kind of defeat, the big man is extremely admirable, even if he is in the position of the opponent of Hussar General Fei Qian, he has to admit that he is powerful, and his actions are admirable.


    Hussar general Feiqian is now occupying the Xiongguan Pass, penetrating the north and south, and ruling half of the Han Dynasty. As a leader like this, the gentry in Xiaguan will certainly not be like the Jiangdong gentry, who feel that it is a shame to be under his rule. There will be glory.


    It''s like facing a leader who has beaten the world with one punch and one kick, and the staff will call him the boss of such and such, but the attitude behind the scenes is completely different for the leader who climbed up the trouser belt.


    Cao Cao, Fei Qian.


    There are so many heroes in the world. Is it really a good time to fight for Jingzhou?


    After a long time, Zhou Yu exhaled a sigh of relief, then calmed down and re-invested in military and government affairs, preparing for the upcoming fierce battle.


    Some things, you can’t choose what you want, just like the water of a great river rushing eastward, day and night, and will not stay for anyone.


    …(╯-_-)╯~╩╩…


    Wubao near Xiangyang, Jingzhou, faced a catastrophe sweeping from the north in a blink of an eye.


    Because manpower is needed to build camps and equipment that may be needed, it is naturally impossible to use the strength of Cao Jun''s soldiers. Therefore, these Wubao Manors near Xiangyang received orders from Cao Jun.


    Although there is Cai Mao as a mediator and buffer, the fact that force is used to coerce these Wubao to accept dispatched labor and labor, and to provide Cao Jun with a certain amount of food, grass, horses, cloth, luggage, etc.


    Cai Hao didn''t want to do this either, but he had to.


    Cao Hong has given Cai Mao the authority to act cheaply, and even said that Cai Mao can use the name of Cao Cao, promising that after the Cao family takes control of Jingzhou, those who have contributed to the great cause of the Cao family can justifiably guard the side. Although Cai Mao has some doubts about whether Cao Cao can really achieve this, after all, there are only so many radish pits, and so many can be placed everywhere, but at least it is better than nothing.


    Cao Jun, originally regarded as Liu Biao''s ally, but now the Cao family suddenly turned his face, revealing sharp minions, and when the sharp cold light reached his throat, these Jingzhou natives who thought they were in a paradise were stunned.


    In fact, most people know that when the covenant is signed, it exists for one day to break the covenant, but when this day comes, most people are still a little terrified. Naturally, it is impossible to have a lot of information, and it is impossible to see the direction of the wind for a while, so it can only be small and wait for the final outcome.


    Under such circumstances, and with Cai Mao in the middle, there is naturally no suspense in the reaction of these local tyrants. Basically, they accepted Cao Jun''s request and provided everything Cao Jun''s horses needed. Anyway, even if these materials were not given to Cao Jun, they would be given to Liu Biao, but now they have changed to another payee.


    Ever since, on the north bank of Xiangyang, a lot of messy laborers gathered, busy, building various equipment, taking care of the food and grass, and soon, these local tyrants discovered that Cao Jun, who was pressing on Xiangyang, was not Not many, that is, Cao Hong alone, plus some people from Cai Mao...


    Night has fallen.


    By the bonfire, although Cao Jun’s soldiers removed the outer iron armor, they still wore a layer of leather armor inside, and their weapons were placed within easy reach. The swaying flames of the bonfire shook the figures of Cao Jun''s soldiers, as if they were beasts squatting by the bonfire with their teeth and claws open.


    Cao Hong sat on the hillside with a golden knife, looking at Xiangyang Beiying in the distance, there seemed to be some flames beating in his eyes...


    Cai Hao sat beside Cao Hong, with a complicated expression on his face, as if he was hesitant to speak.


    Cao Hong glanced at Cai Mao, "What did Degui say?" Let''s just say it! 』


    Cai Hao arched his hands and said, "General, this... recruiting civilians is easy, but... there are many people..."


    Cao Hong laughed, nodded, and said, "Got it. 』


    Cai Hao froze for a moment, then opened his eyes wide, "The general''s intention..."


    Cao Hong narrowed his eyes slightly.


    …(=_+)…


    Gan Ning stared at the Cao Jun bonfire in the distance, and the stars came into his eyes.


    Cao Jun didn''t have many people.


    There are always some unwilling natives of Xiangyang who secretly report a letter to Xiangyang City.


    Gan Ning thought this was an opportunity, but Wenpin thought it was a trap.


    Liu Cong felt... Well, he didn''t feel anything, but Liu Biao felt that he could give it a try.


    Gan Ning stood at the bow of the boat, straightened his body, looked at Cao Jun''s bonfire in the distance, and also looked at the winding and shallow river in front of him. Behind him is Xiangyang Beidaying and Xiangyang City.


    Gan Ning knew that at this moment, in the seemingly lifeless Xiangyang City, there must be a lot of people standing behind the crenel, staring here and into the distance with their heads outstretched. These people are waiting, it seems that they are waiting for the battle that is about to break out, waiting for the final winner.


    Gan Ning touched the big knife in his hand, feeling a little uncomfortable.


    For the sake of secrecy, although Gan Ning would not be required to hold one, the bells on the back of the sword were removed, and without these bells, Gan Xingba felt that he was incomplete...


    Gan Ning shook his head invisibly, raised his hand as a signal, and immediately the sound of water flow became louder. All Jingzhou soldiers paddled their boats silently, and headed for the north bank. Of course, originally there was a bridge above the Han River, but since it was a sneak attack, how could it be possible to walk over the bridge in a fair and honest manner?


    The flames in the distance are swaying, and the water nearby is rippling.


    Crash, clatter.


    At the head of the city of Xiangyang, Liu Cong, Pang Ji, and Wenpin were all in military uniform, standing on the edge of the battlements, looking north intently.


    Far away on the other side of the Hanshui River is Cao Jun''s camp that has not yet been fully built. Although it is barely formed, there are still many omissions in fact. I see some problems.


    Logically speaking, to set up a camp, you must first stand up, that is, use a large wooden stake with a sharpened front, which can be inserted into the ground as a temporary obstacle, which can be used to resist enemy surprise attacks, and then dig trenches behind these fortifications , set up a camp, but now it seems that it is because of insufficient manpower, Cao Jun''s carelessness, or just like Wenpin said, it is a trap, anyway, some places are empty, as if the door is wide open.


    Pang Ji frowned, "It''s not that Cao Zilian is ignorant of military affairs. Now Cao Jun''s camp has many loopholes. Could it be that he was confused?" 』


    Wen Pin on the side shook his head slightly. Of course, Wenpin couldn''t produce any strong evidence to prove that this was not Cao Hong''s head cramping, but an intentional temptation, so naturally it was hard to say anything.


    On the contrary, Liu Cong had an indescribable excitement and longing for the upcoming battle, so he grabbed Pang Ji and asked, "Tell me, what do you think of this?" General Gan, how will General Gan fight? 』


    Pang Ji glanced at Wenpin, but Wenpin was unmoved. In desperation, he could only smile and said, "My lord, please take a look, although Cao Ying has set up camp on the mountain, but the mountain is a little smaller... After not being able to block the entire side, there is a piece of vacancy on the other side... If it is conventional, the horse should be built first and the trenches should be dug... However, Cao Jun first dug some trenches on the opposite side of the bridge, but did not deep…"


    Liu Cong suddenly said, "So, as long as General Gan rushes into the camp from that side, he can win a big victory?" 』


    Pang Ji glanced at Wenpin again, then smiled a little embarrassedly, "I hope so. 』


    Pang Ji can understand the embarrassment of Wenpin, but Pang Ji is actually equally embarrassed at the moment.


    If Liu Biao completely trusted Wenpin, then Liu Cong should not be standing here now. What can Liu Cong do here? Do you want to watch a play? What Liu Biao believed in most was Gan Ning, so Gan Ning had to take the responsibility of going to test the strength of Cao Jun, but Wen Pin could not. If Wen Pin proposed to attack Cao Ying, Liu Biao would doubt whether Wen Pin was going to do something with Cao Jun. trade…


    Pang Ji was somewhat surprised that Liu Biao had come to such a state of embarrassment and embarrassment today, but another voice in his heart seemed to tell him that it was inevitable. When Pang Ji watched Fei Qian step by step like a scorching sun rising in the sky of the big man, he seemed to have foreseen the current situation...


    Who would have thought that the immature young man who was in the car back then has now become a hero? And the hero of the party at that time, but now he has become a dilemma?


    After being silent for a while, Pang Ji still said: "Cao Jun may also be luring the enemy... luring us to cross the river and attack, and then Cao Jun can use his most elite cavalry to fight back... But he shouldn''t understand these cavalry so clearly." If it is placed in front, General Gan will naturally bypass it, who will be fooled? Moreover, Cao Jun placed the cavalry close to the bridge, and even if he wanted to counterattack, he had to go around. But the cavalry has no attack tools, so it is just a dream to rely on the cavalry to conquer the camp and attack Xiangyang? General Wen, what exactly is Cao Jun trying to do? 』


    Liu Cong couldn''t help turning his head to look at Wenpin.


    Wen Pin stared fixedly into the distance for a long time before answering in a low voice: "Cao Jun has fought north and south, and we... Cao Jun''s going south is not the most terrible thing. What worries me most is that Cao Jun has a mastery." A guide to the situation in Jingzhou! 』


    Pang Ji trembled all over, stretched out his hand, and pointed slightly tremblingly to the north, "In this way, General Gan is in danger..."


    Wenpin shook his head slowly, "Xingba has a sense of proportion..."


    Liu Cong o_O? What do you mean?


    After pausing for a moment, Wenpin turned his head to look at Liu Cong, "Young master, there are some things that should not be said down here, but now the enemy is at hand... Don''t look at the location we hold at the moment, if you think about it the other way around, would it be us Stuck on this too? Besides, the Cao army is only one in front of us, and we don’t know if there will be any reinforcements in the future... Now the city may not be safe... Please tell the envoy to the king, and make a decision early..."


    Morale, for the battle in the cold weapon era, its importance is naturally beyond doubt.


    Liu Biao sent Liu Pan, saying that he killed Cai Mao, but in fact, according to Wenpin''s judgment, if Cai Hao was really killed, Liu Biao might have hanged Cai Mao''s head on the wall long ago!


    So it was previously announced that Cai Mao was dead. If Cai Hao appeared in the city again, wouldn''t Liu Biao have any points for the impact on the morale of the army? On the other hand, Liu Pan hasn''t appeared since Cai Mao''s incident, and even now he doesn''t know where he went, and whether Liu Biao is arranging something...


    The meaning of Wenpin is very clear. In such a situation, the generals naturally need to work together to resist foreign enemies. On the one hand, Liu Biao shows distrust of the people of Jingzhou, and on the other hand, he wants to defend Jingzhou. This is a huge problem in itself. paradox.


    Liu Cong looked at Wenpin in a daze, apparently still not fully understanding the meaning contained in Wenpin''s words.


    『Please also ask your son to pass the news on your behalf...』 Wen Pin cupped his hands and said.


    "what? Liu Cong nodded, "OK..."


    Wenpin turned his head and stopped talking. On the other hand, Pang Ji glanced at Wenpin and sighed secretly.


    In the distance, Gan Ning seemed to be approaching the north bank in the glistening water.


    This outpost of Liu Biao and Cao Cao quietly unfolded in this night...
