But Cheng Pu, who knitted his brows into a Chuan character, went over and over the old plan and the new plan in his mind, comparing it a thousand times. He was thinking so hard that he didn't even notice that there was no sound around him, and so many eyes were staring at him.
Cheng Pu was completely unaware of him.
Regardless of what he wanted subconsciously or in his heart, Cheng Pu was biased towards Zhou Yu's new plan. But in the end, Cheng Pu's maturity and stability still prevailed over his impulsive rationality.
"Hmm!" When Cheng Pu came back to his senses, he realized that so many people were looking at him. He immediately lowered his head and coughed slightly in embarrassment to remind others and cover up his own embarrassment.
"I think it's like this. Tomorrow, Governor Zhou will lead the navy to go ahead. Whether it's to Jiangling or Baling, there are still a few days to go. As for me, I will continue to stay here, monitor the outside of Lejin's headquarters, and hurry up to capture Governor Zhou.
Send the new plan to Lord Chaisang for him to decide!" Cheng Pu said the safest plan that he had been thinking about for half an hour.
This plan was widely recognized by Huang Gai and other older generals, while Zhou Yu was so disappointed that he almost sat down on the ground.
"I'll leave tonight. I'm afraid Cao Jun will make new moves if it's too late!" After saying this, Zhou Yu turned around and left without looking back. The generals under him were a little confused. They looked at Cheng Pu and turned around.
He followed Zhou Yu's back and left.
"Captain, there is nothing inappropriate in what Governor Cheng did. What are you worried about?" Zhou Tai followed Zhou Yu as he set sail. He stood with Zhou Yu on the top floor of a boat and blew the river breeze for a while. Zhou Tai and Lu Meng looked at each other.
After asking several times, Zhou Tai couldn't help but ask Zhou Yu.
The navy had been sailing for half an hour, and the curve at the junction with the Han River was gradually left behind the navy fleet. In other words, they had officially embarked on the journey to the central part of Jingzhou, but Zhou Yu had no idea at all.
With an expression of excitement or joy, he just stood on the ship building, looking at the dark upstream direction of the river, and then sighed deeply, without turning around, he said quietly to the two generals behind him: "Cai Hao and Zhang
During our journey along the way, did you receive any information about them?"
Zhou Tai and Lu Meng were shocked. When they were both shocked, Zhou Yu answered for them, "No, never." I didn't mention it at the meeting because I was afraid of affecting the morale of the army. Le Jin and Li Dianneng appeared in Xiakou, but Cai Mao and Zhang Yun did not.
He is nowhere to be found. If he is waiting for us in front, with the strength of Jingzhou Navy, we will not be able to fight head-on."
"Cao Zhi can't be so good at using troops, right?" Lu Meng exclaimed.
"Didn't the Commander-in-Chief say that Jingzhou's army had just surrendered to Cao Zhi, so he might not necessarily be of the same mind as Cao Zhi? Cao Zhi wouldn't let this newly surrendered army take on such a major task as blocking us, right?" Zhou Tai was obviously several years older than Lu Meng.
Years old, his ability to draw inferences from one instance is a bit better than Lu Meng's.
"I have dealt with Cao Zhi many times. His uncanny use of troops and boldness in employing people are unprecedented. We have to consider this possibility. After all, we are setting foot on the territory of Jingzhou.
If we let these two old Jingzhous put some obstacles on our way, we will be in big trouble... I hope this is all my blind worry. We will definitely not be able to retreat at this time, which will not only cause us
The ridicule of insiders will lead to the ridicule of the world. It is always better to take the initiative to attack than to defend. We are still young and we have to live up to the aggressive gambling mentality that we always preach with those old guys!"
Zhou Yu's words made Lu Meng blush. In Cheng Pu's military tent just now, he used these words to mock Huang Gai. But Lu Meng soon discovered that Zhou Yu was not mocking him, but that he was very focused on what he said just now.
.
"Where have they gone?..."
#######Zhou Yu's active attack is more active than defending one place! His leading idea is not wrong, but the mistake lies in the era and opponents. The brand-new history that Zhou Yu is facing now is a difficult one to let go of.
He describes a glorious new history of "Red Cliff".
When Zhou Yu sent out a large number of scouts, paying close attention to the movements of Cao's army in Xiangyang and Fancheng, Cao Zhi, surrounded by a group of civil servants and generals, passed Dangyang County. In front of him was the area that created the most heroic page in the history of the Three Kingdoms -
—Changbanpo.
The reputation of "Zhang Yide of Yan" was known from here. Cao Zhi didn't know whether he roared here. He probably had no chance, and it was impossible for the ever-victorious general Zhao Zilong to break into Cao's camp alone on this ground.
Saving Liu Bei's son "Adou" created an epic myth.
Regardless of whether the history is true or not, this popular legendary story has been passed down from generation to generation. It is also because this place has so many legendary stories that Cao Zhi, who traveled four hundred miles non-stop from Xiangyang, finally made Cao Chun's
The Haw Par Battalion stopped.
Cao Zhi wanted to see this place that created countless heroes and left countless beautiful legends, but Chang Ban Slope somewhat disappointed Cao Zhi. This place called Chang Ban Slope is actually a ferry. Going further, there is Jushui and
The confluence of the Zhang River and the Zhang River forms the Juzhang River. The road here is narrow and rugged, which is actually very unfavorable for the army to pass quickly. If a carriage in a huge army breaks down, it will block this place, causing the enemy behind to pass.
The army was unable to move forward and was slowed down.
"Cao Chun, your army has to quickly pass through the ferry here to pursue the enemy in front. What will you do?" Cao Zhi was suddenly in this barren land. While remembering the historical legend that could no longer be staged, he suddenly had a whim.
It is necessary to simulate the scene at that time.
Cao Chun and other generals who immediately stood beside Cao Zhi were all surprised. Cao Zhi suddenly asked Cao Chun why he was asking such superficial tactical questions.
"Control the ferry and set up a pontoon bridge on the narrowest part of the river, so that you can quickly pass through and pursue the enemy!" Cao Chun replied in a straight tone after being slightly surprised.
Cao Chun is Cao Ren's younger brother. After Cao Cao and Cao Zhi, the Cao family has the most versatile and versatile talents. This is why Cao Zhi did not let other clan members lead the Haw Par Camp.
The Hubao Battalion now has many roles. It is sometimes Cao Zhi's personal guard battalion, and sometimes it is the imperial guard guarding Xudu, the capital. It is the most well-equipped, best-paid, and most elite battalion in Cao's army.
Soldiers. So this army has a permanent establishment of 15,000 people, and there are three commanders who command this army horse. These three people are Cao Chun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu. The general positions of these three people may not be very high, but their status is
And the importance is absolutely transcendent.
In such an important military position, Cao Chun was the only Cao family member. This shows Cao Zhi's trust in him. Cao Chun served as one of the three commanders of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion with low military merit. Because of his status as a Cao family member,
Others naturally have nothing to say. But although Cao Chun is still young, he does have real skills in commanding troops and fighting. He can control the army according to discipline and supervise his subordinates. The five thousand tiger and leopard troops who manage his battalion never fail.
He was unorganized, so many senior generals in Cao's army thought he was very talented. As a military general, Cao Chun also advocated learning and respected learned Confucian scholars. His reputation for being studious and respecting virtuous people was praised both inside and outside the Xudu court, so Hu
All the soldiers in Leopard Camp also admired Cao Chun very much.
At this time, Cao Chun's fluent answers were in line with the actual combat needs here, but Cao Zhi didn't seem to be satisfied. Suddenly he turned to Xu Chu, who was always half a horse following behind Cao Zhi and said: "Xu Chu, I want to
If you lead a hundred men to defend on the other side of the river, how are you going to defend Cao Chun's attack of five thousand cavalry?"
"Ah! One hundred people!"
The civil servants and generals behind Cao Zhi were all surprised when they heard the concept of "one hundred people". Conventionally speaking, this should be an impossible task, but that doesn't mean there is no way.
"It is impossible to defend this place with only a hundred people, but it is possible to delay the move with (Cao Chunzi) Hubao Camp for a while!" Although Xu Chu was a little unsure whether Cao Zhi was testing him, he still wanted to embarrass Cao Chun.
. He has an upright temperament, and sometimes he is even reckless. He can't help but show off his long-term military career, accumulated rich combat experience, and some small strategies in the battle at this time.
Cao Chun usually had a pretty good relationship with Xu Chu. Although he didn't take Xu Chu's arrogant words seriously, his disdain still lingered in the corner of his eyes.
"Then tell me, how can you delay Cao Chun?" Cao Zhi pointed his whip in the direction of the ferry at Changbanpo and asked seriously.
"Hehe..." Xu Chu smiled sheepishly at Cao Chun, and then said: "I will first ask twenty cavalry to tie some branches or something to their horses' tails in the woods behind, behind the slope, and keep doing it.
Running back and forth was just like the way Deng Ai saved us on the outskirts of Danyang City, confusing the enemy who was chasing me. Oh, no, no, the other party... The enemy who was chasing me was not sure how many troops we had. The dust raised by the branches
, and may even make the other party think that our army has a large number of ambushes behind it, and they will be confused and hesitate to move forward. This can probably delay it for a while, and when the other party sees through it, I will burn it or chop it down. Anyway, no matter what method I use, I will kill it.
Destroy the pontoon bridge of the invading enemy. The terrain here is narrow. The attack is either by boat or by building a bridge. It is basically possible to cross the river on horseback. I have made a point. If the enemy builds a bridge, I will burn the bridge. If the enemy uses
I will destroy the ferry. Although a hundred people are a bit short, I think it should be no problem if I can hold off the invading opponent for one to two hours!"
"Nonsense! Xu Dasheng, do you think everyone in the world is so easy to deceive?" After Xu Chu finished speaking with confidence, Cao Chun couldn't help but sarcastically said with disdain.
"Why am I talking nonsense? You and I are in the same army now. Everyone knows the truth and they disdain my scheme. If we don't know each other, do you dare to say that you won't be fooled?" Xu Chu never said anything because the person he was talking to was from the Cao clan.
