Since Cheng Yu entered the account, he has not spoken a word. He listened very seriously and did not let go of every detail. He already had a plan in his mind.

At this time, Cao Cao asked him, and Cheng Yu took out more than a dozen large ship models from the Jiangxia Army's water camp and placed them in front of the water camp. He said to Cao Cao and everyone: "Have you considered it? Why is the Thousand Stone Ship obviously unable to fight, and the Jiangxia Army still has to place them out? Is it a formation? Or is it just a gesture?"

Chen Qun next to him blurted out, "This is to prevent us from attacking the water village from fire!"

Cao Cao thought, "Zhongde's plan is to attack with fire?"

Cheng Yu nodded, "That's right. The key to this battle is not the battle of two hundred small boats, but these thirty thousand stone warships. Their function is to prevent our fire attack, but it reminds us that the key to winning this battle is the fire attack."

Liu Ye frowned and said, "But Jiang Xia is already guarding against us for fire attack. Will they give us a chance?"

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, "This is the plan for people, and the accomplishment is in heaven! The northwest wind on the river is strong now, and this is the opportunity given to us by God. If we do not make good use of the favorable wind direction, then we really have no chance."

Cao Cao walked to the side of Jiangxia Army in Zhanpan, bent down and carefully checked the structure of Jiangxia Army's water camp. He suddenly focused on the gate of the water camp with his fingers, "The key is here!"

"The Prime Minister is indeed very insightful!"

Cheng Yu smiled at everyone and said, "We don't need to enter the Jiangdong Army Water Village. As long as we can set fire at the gate and block the gate with fire, the Jiangxia warships in the water village will not be able to come out and will not be able to stop us from crossing the river. Once the vanguard seals the Jiangxia Army Water Village, it will be the moment when our thousand ships compete and a hundred thousand troops cross the river."

"But Zhongde considers crossing the Yangtze River?"

Liu Ye added: "Since the division between the Jiangdong Army and the Jiangxia Army is not real, then the sudden emergence of the Jiangdong Army will pose a serious threat to our large crossing ship. Have Zhongde considered it?"

"Of course I have considered that the Jiangdong Army is now stationed in Zhucheng, and it will take a day to come from Zhucheng. This is still a small manpower boat. The big boat cannot go against the river and cannot come at all."

In fact, Cheng Yu knew in his heart that his plan was very hasty and there would inevitably be loopholes that he could not take into account. However, Cheng Yu knew better that the Prime Minister was anxious. Hebei was in danger and the Prime Minister could not wait for a day.

As a qualified strategist, he must take advantage of the situation and propose a reasonable and effective plan as much as possible without changing the overall situation. His fire attack plan is the best plan. Even if he only has 50% chance of winning, he can only bet.

There was silence in the tent, and Cheng Yu's meaning was clear. As long as the attack was launched tonight, the Jiangdong Army warships would not have time to support them, and everyone's eyes looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was still watching the Jiangxia Army's water camp. Cao Cao knew very well that in fact he could no longer retreat. The northwest wind was strong and it was difficult for the big ship to return north. Even if he wanted to retreat, the Jiangxia Army would not allow him to cross the Han River. The situation was stronger than that of the people.

But Cao Cao never wanted his subordinates to know that he had no way out before fighting. After a long time, Cao Cao stood up straight and said to everyone: "It's noon now, all the soldiers go back to the tent to sleep and rest. Two updates tonight will start the battle to cross the river!"

Cheng Yu's plan was indeed very hasty, and there were loopholes that he did not take into account. He calculated that the Jiangdong Army's warships could not move westward against the current, and it was too late, but he ignored the land. Although the Jiangdong Army was a naval army, the navy could also fight on land.

From the east of the Chibi Wulin, there is still a vast Yunmengze. There are large squatting swamps distributed in the water, with murderous intent hidden in the dark, but there is a natural passage about one mile wide along the Yangtze River. Although it is covered by lush forests, you can walk through the forest and walk to the Sanjiangkou a hundred miles away.

At night, an army of nearly 30,000 people marched rapidly in the forest. The 30,000 army stretched for ten miles. Although it was huge, the march was silent. The flag was rolled up, and only the rustling sound of footsteps and the sound of war horses were heard.

This army was the Jiangdong Army that abandoned the ship and went ashore. According to Liu Jing's deployment, they did not attack from water, but turned to land, heading west along the Yangtze River, and finally launched an offensive to the Cao army camp in Wulin.

After receiving the news of the uprising in Hebei, Liu Jing knew that the decisive battle with Cao's army was about to be reached. He immediately notified the Jiangdong army to implement the landing plan.

The Jiangdong Army landed on the north shore last night, then rushed along the north shore, camped and rested during the day, and continued to march after dark. The 100-mile journey was not far away, and the Jiangdong Army was less than ten miles away from the Cao army camp.

A scout rushed over from the front and found the commander Zhou Yu. He immediately bowed to report: "Report to the Governor, the three mail towers in front have been pulled out. General Taishi said that there were signs of large-scale mobilization in Cao's army."

The forward was the general Taishi Ci. He led 500 most elite soldiers to pioneer the way forward, pulling out the Cao army's sentry tower to ensure the safety of the army.

Zhou Yu looked up at the sky. It was about the first time that Cao's army was mobilizing on a large scale at this time, and there must be a major military operation today. In this case, they cannot be too close to the Cao army camp. Once discovered, all their efforts will be wasted. They must wait for the war to break out before launching an attack, so as to ensure the final victory.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu immediately ordered: "The whole army rests on the spot and orders the troops behind to follow quickly."

The soldiers sat down to rest, and several people leaned against a big tree, either took out a kettle to drink water, or closed their eyes and took a nap.

Zhou Yu seemed a little worried, standing on a high place with his hands behind his back, looking at the Cao army camp. He actually couldn't see anything. The dark night and the dense woods blocked his vision.

He was full of worries and had a bitterness of making wedding dresses for others. He did not realize until he realized that Liu Jing must compete for the right to distribute spoils, because Liu Jing had already arranged this battle and would be led by his Jiangdong army to attack the camp.

The spoils harvested from attacking the camp were the most abundant. Of course, Liu Jing would not give up this benefit to himself, so he used the redemption of Huang Gai to force himself to agree to the distribution of spoils.

It was not until this time that he understood Liu Jing's profound meaning, which made him very frustrated, but at the same time he also felt a sigh that he was far inferior to others. He was arrogant and talented, but compared with Liu Jing, he was too far apart.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh. At this time, Lu Meng slowly walked to Zhou Yu and whispered: "The governor seems to be a little worried. It's for the affairs of General Huang!"

Although Zhou Yu did not reveal to the generals about his signing of a treaty with Liu Jing, everyone knew that the governor must have agreed to Liu Jing's conditions before getting Ma Yan's head. Liu Jing is not such a easy-to-talk person.

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and did not answer Lu Meng's question. However, Lu Meng understood Zhou Yu's difficulties very well. He also knew where Zhou Yu's worries were?

He smiled and comforted: "Governor, don't think too much. Keeping the Old General Huang is to give the Marquis Wu the greatest explanation. We all think that replacing the Old General Huang is a wise move for the Governor."

"It's useless to say more about this matter, so I'd better concentrate on fighting tonight's battle."

Zhou Yu didn't want to mention this matter again, so he changed the subject. He smiled and said, "To be honest, I admire Liu Jing's ability to control the war. He told me an information that the Yuan family in Hebei has been revived, and the situation in Hebei is very critical to Cao Cao. Cao Cao is eager to end this battle of the Southern Expedition. He will definitely promote the attack, so that we have a chance."

Lu Meng frowned and said, "Governor thinks, does the revival of the Yuan clan in Hebei have something to do with Liu Jing?"

Zhou Yu nodded, "I believe that Yuan's revival must be caused by him, because all his arrangements for us are waiting for the arrival of this opportunity, at least he was involved in this matter."

This conclusion surprised Lu Meng. After a while, Zhou Yu sighed slightly and said, "Liu Jing is not only Cao Cao's strong enemy, but also our strong enemy in the future!"

That night, the moonlight was dim, and the cold moonlight shone on the vast river. On the semicircular mountain top of Chibi Rock, Liu Jing stared at the surging river with his hands, "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes...'

He chanted in a low voice, his heart was like the water flowing eastward in the river, and there was a magnificent feeling like a magnificent wave. He suddenly laughed and asked, "Does sir believe in fate?"

Behind him, Jia Xu shook his head, "I don't believe in fate, but I believe in the way of heaven."

"What is the way of heaven, and what is the fate?"

"The way of heaven is to reduce the excess and make up for the deficiency. If the way of man is not, it is not enough to serve the excess, so I will not do my best to do anything, just to leave some room for myself. The state governor will follow the way of man, and the state governor will not be enough to serve the excess. Perhaps this is what the state governor calls the fate."

Liu Jing turned around and stared at Jia Xu. He didn't understand what Jia Xu meant. Jia Xu said again: "The governor of the state has taken all the benefits of the Red Cliff, why don't he leave some room for Prime Minister Cao?"

Liu Jing said calmly: "I do not believe in humanity. I believe in the kingly way. The so-called kingly way is to seek the greatest benefit. Those who are good at defending hide under the nine earths, and those who are good at attacking attack on the nine heavens."

"But things in the world are like chess, and things in the world may not follow the expectations of the governor."

Liu Jing smiled faintly, "I just care about the overall situation. Who can plan so far in every specific step? For Cao Cao, my kingly way is to either not do it or do it."

Jia Xu shook his head with a wry smile. In fact, he wanted to persuade Liu Jing not to kill Cao Cao in the battle of Chibi, leaving some room for vacancies, but Liu Jing had made up his mind to use the Battle of Chibi to weaken the power of Cao's army to the greatest extent, and he had nothing to say.

At this time, the soldiers on the mail tower next to him shouted: "Zhouzhu, an enemy ship was found on the river!"
