Chapter 552 How should I perform with the performance
The news that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were killed soon spread to Jiangdong. The soldiers in Jiangdong also admired and admired Zhou Yu's unpredictable skills even more, and Zhou Yu's prestige also greatly increased.
After cooperating with Zhou Yu to complete the counter-intentional plan, Sun Quan left Zhou Yu's camp alone. He didn't even tell anyone. Only Lu Su, who had been paying close attention to Sun Quan sincerely, discovered Sun Quan's departure.
After accompanying Sun Quan out of the camp, Lu Su suddenly asked: "My lord, why don't you wait until Cao Cao sends back the news about the prisoners of war before returning to the Fankou camp?"
After Sun Quan heard Lu Su's question, he couldn't help but stop.
He turned back to look at Zhou Yu's Chibi camp, and said with a wry smile: "Zijing, couldn't you see? Gong Jin also hopes that I can leave here, so that he can fully display his fists and kicks."
Lu Su fell silent upon hearing this. After a moment, he spoke: "Gong Jin is also dedicated to Jiangdong. My lord..."
Before Lu Su could finish speaking, Sun Quan raised his hand and interrupted: "I know...so I didn't let Gong Jin speak and chose to leave."
Lu Su looked into Sun Quan's eyes and was moved by such a wise master in his heart, "My lord is wise!"
Sun Quan smiled and patted Lu Su's arm gently, then turned around resolutely and quickly left Zhou Yu's camp. As for whether what he thought in his heart was really what he said, only Sun Quan himself knew.
All the changes that happened in Cao Camp are now moving in the direction that Zhou Yu expected. Whether it was Cai Mao and Zhang Yun who were killed, or the Jingzhou navy was in turmoil because of this, this was obviously what Zhou Yu wanted to see.
Zhou Yu believes that at the beginning, Cao Ying undoubtedly had a huge advantage over Jiangdong. But even if they had such a huge advantage, the angle of tilt of the balance of victory would change as they accumulated bit by bit.
Cao Jun killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. This not only caused Cao Jun to lose two generals who were proficient in water warfare, but also chilled the Jingzhou Army officers who had just surrendered. After all, Cai Mao was still quite popular in the Jingzhou Navy.
Prestige, his death will definitely have an impact on the soldiers of Jingzhou Navy, and will also make them dissatisfied and lose their combat effectiveness.
But Cao Cao still has the Han Navy, which is what Zhou Yu is really afraid of, and Gan Ning and others have now begun to vigorously reorganize and digest the soldiers of the Jingzhou Navy. I believe that it won’t be long before the strength of the Han Navy will once again reach its peak.
A step.
Jiangdong still has a geographical advantage. Even if the cannons are not firing, Jiangdong Navy still dominates the Yangtze River.
In any case, killing an arm of Cao Cao's navy still brought a considerable advantage to Jiangdong, and Zhou Yu's next strategy could be implemented more smoothly.
If Zhou Yu wants to defeat Lu Yan's navy, the only possibility is to attack with fire.
However, you need to wait patiently for the timing of the fire attack, because the fire attack must be unexpected and have a suitable opportunity to cut in.
If a fire attack is launched rashly, not only will it not achieve the results Zhou Yu hopes to see, but Cao Jun will be aware of it and make corresponding preparations, thereby completely disappearing the chance of a fire attack.
But now there is another thing that makes Zhou Yu even more troublesome, that is, Cao Jun's warships are scattered. Even if he puts down the fire ships and launches a fire attack, I am afraid it will not cause too much loss to Cao Jun.
But if all Cao Jun's warships can be connected together, then Zhou Yu is confident that he can burn all Cao Jun's warships in one fell swoop.
And it's not just warships. Because Cao Jun's warships are close to the camp, if the warships catch fire, it will be difficult for Cao Jun's camp to escape.
If a fire can burn all Cao Jun's warships and camps, then Cao Jun's failure will be obvious.
However, although these are simple to say, they are quite difficult to actually implement.
Let’s not talk about whether Cao’s shortcomings after connecting the warships can be seen in Cao’s camp. If Lu Yan is also a commander who knows the method of water warfare, it is even more impossible to connect the warships. Any link is perfect.
If it fails, then this plan to burn Red Cliff will become a joke.
"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"
However, after Zhou Yu thought carefully for a long time, he felt that it was not completely impossible.
"Judging from Cao Cao's conspiracy, there must be something wrong with Cao Cao's mentality."
"It's impossible for the counselors under Cao Cao not to see such a plan... but Cao Cao still killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. It seems that he had been dazzled by the series of previous victories..."
"If we can make good use of Cao Cao's current state, we might be able to use another alienation strategy to alienate him from Lu Yan, even if it's just for a short time!"
"As long as Lu Yan is not with Cao Cao, I believe there will always be a way for Cao Cao to connect the ships..."
How to use the divorce plan again gave Zhou Yu a headache.
Jiangdong's counselors obviously cannot be sent to Cao Jun's camp.
But it is extremely difficult to find an opposition person who can persuade Cao Cao.
...
The confrontation between the two sides is already in October.
The weather gradually became colder, and with the efforts of Hua Tuo and the doctors, the dysentery in the military camp was finally completely eliminated.
At the same time, after more than a month of adaptation, the Jingzhou Navy quickly integrated into the Dahan Navy. After the initial integration, the navy's combat effectiveness actually improved.
Everyone suddenly discovered that without the two navy generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the combat power of Cao Cao's navy not only did not weaken, but actually increased, which made many people start to wonder.
"If you ask me, my lord must have known that it was Zhou Yu's treacherous plan. He just followed the trend and killed Cai and Zhang..."
"But I think it's Changsheng's plan more... You see, after Cai Mao died, not only did he absorb all the Jingzhou navy, but the Jingzhou family now has no leader. In this way, he, Lu Changsheng, will definitely secretly
If we support other families to fight openly and secretly with the Cai family, or even take the opportunity to carve up the Cai family, then the Jingzhou family will eventually fall apart and become a piece of loose sand."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Listening to your analysis, I suddenly feel that everyone seems to have been fooled by the lord and Lu Qiaoqi. The two people acted together perfectly!"
A group of counselors were chatting together, but they didn't notice that Lu Yan was standing behind them at some point...
"Everyone, Lu has been kept in the dark about this. You can't wrongly accuse a good person!"
Lu Yan's voice suddenly came, startling these talkative guys.
"Immortality! Scaring people will scare them to death!" Jia Xu glared at Lu Yan dissatisfied and protested. The main reason was that this guy had the darkest guess just now. He had a guilty conscience!
"We are fully aware of your secret dealings with my lord, and you don't have to make excuses!" But Xun You seemed to have a plan in mind, as if he had completely grasped Lu Yan and Cao Cao.
"Hehe... This is not a disgraceful thing. Lu Qiaoqi, you don't need to deny it." Liu Ye said to Lu Yan with an expression that everyone understood.
Everyone thought that Lu Yan and Cao Cao teamed up to put on a good show.
Not only did he use Zhou Yu to kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun and capture all the Jingzhou navy, he also used this to suppress the Jingzhou nobles and suppress the Jingzhou family's troubles to the lowest point.
However, Lu Yan was the only one whose mind was filled with questions, and he had no idea what was going on with Boss Cao...
