Chapter 139 Chapter 22 Cao Cao Invites Sun Quan to Hunt (3)

Zhang Caocao invited Sun Quan to hunt Liu Bei and join Soochow to Cao (3) On 129, Zhou Yu was accepting a mission and arrived in Poyang.Lu Su advised Sun Quan to call him back to discuss major issues. Zhou Yu, courtesy name Gongjin, was born in a noble family. He helped Sun Ce raise troops and establish the Sun Wu regime.After Sun Ce died, he assisted Sun Quan and served as the former governor. When Zhou Yu came back from Poyang County, Sun Quan immediately told him Lu Su's suggestion and his own thoughts. "The governor thinks how to deal with Cao Cao in the current situation?" Sun Quan wanted to hear Zhou Yu's suggestion.

Zhou Yu said: "Although Cao Cao claims to be the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he is actually a traitor of the Han Dynasty. With his superhuman martial arts talents and the inheritance of the business started by his father and brother, the lord has occupied Jiangdong until today. He already has Fangyuan Thousands of miles of land, the army has excellent weapons, sufficient food and grass, and the heroes and talents are loyal to their duties and show their abilities. Faced with these advantages, you should be powerful and shock the world, and clean up the residue and filth for the Han Dynasty. Today, Cao Cao committed suicide , how can you meet him?"

After hearing these words, Sun Quan felt more at ease, because Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, and himself all thought so. "I want to hear the general's specific strategy." Sun Quan can be said to have placed great hopes on Zhou Yu. "In some areas in the north, Cao Cao has not completely calmed down. Ma Chao and Han Sui still have the heart of rebelling against the Cao bandits. They have become hidden dangers that Cao bandits don't realize. Besides, Cao Cao lost his cavalry and relied on ships to compete with Jiangdong. Now the weather is very cold, and the horses have no fodder. Many soldiers from the Central Plains have been driven to the rivers and lakes in the south of Jiangdong. But Bandit Cao is extremely arrogant, his ambition to dominate is too strong, he completely disregards the fear of military strategists, the general defeated Cao Cao, today is an excellent opportunity."

Zhou Yu's analysis was very specific and detailed, so Sun Quan once again summoned his advisers and generals to study specific plans to resist Cao. Zhou Yu said: "I request tens of thousands of elite soldiers to be stationed in Xiakou, and I promise to defeat Cao Jun!" Those who advocated surrendering to Cao Cao were ridiculing the faction against the war again: "I hope that the tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the governor will take one against ten and drive Cao Cao back to Xudu!" "It's all caused by Liu Bei. We Jiangdong and Cao Cao have never had any enmity."

"We cannot unite with Liu Bei and preserve our own strength." Seeing that the situation was so urgent, Sun Quan was very angry that there were still so many people taking chances. Sun Quan stood up abruptly from his seat, and said sharply: "The old thief has long wanted to abolish Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and establish himself on his own. It's just that he didn't dare to proclaim himself emperor because he cared about Er Yuan, Lu Bu, Liu Biao, and me. The person who ruled the roost and the separatist regime has been eliminated, and only I still exist. I am incompatible with the old thief. The opinions of Zijing and Gongjin coincide with mine. They are exactly the same." After speaking, he immediately drew out his knife and put the memorial in front of him. The table was chopped off, and he said loudly: "If any generals dare to mention Cao Cao's surrender again, their fate will be the same as this case!" Everyone was stunned by Sun Quan's words and actions, and the meeting place was completely silent.

That night, Zhou Yu met with Sun Quan again and said: "As soon as everyone saw the 800,000 naval infantry that Cao Cao said in his letter, they all panicked, no longer considering the actual situation of Cao Cao's troops, and proposed to surrender. , is pure nonsense. Now, according to the actual situation I have to analyze the strength of Cao Jun, in fact, the Central Plains soldiers led by Cao Cao are only 150,000 to 60,000 people, and they have long been exhausted. Liu Biao’s troops he surrendered, There are only 70,000 to 80,000 people at most, and besides, these people are all suspicious. Cao Cao led tired and sick soldiers, and brought suspicious soldiers to fight. Although there are many people, there is no need to be afraid. I just want to win Fifty thousand elite soldiers are enough to defeat Cao Jun, I hope you don't have to worry about it."

Sun Quan stroked Zhou Yu's hand tightly, not knowing how to express his gratitude.This resourceful man assisted his elder brother in creating the hegemony in Jiangdong, and now he is dedicated to my duty in the face of national crisis. Based on this, I, Sun Quan, should also fight Cao Cao to comfort my father and elder brother who died young. After a long time, Sun Quan said: "Gongjin, you and Zijing know me too well. People like Zibu and Yuanbiao only care about their wives and children and have their own plans. I am so disappointed." Seeing that Sun Quan was so sad, Zhou Yu comforted him and said: "It's hard to get back the hope of the people, and it's hard to get back the hearts of the people. It's been like this since ancient times. I hope you don't take trivial matters to heart, so as not to hurt your body. The burden on your shoulders is so wide. Soochow a thousand miles away."

Sun Quan seemed to be talking to himself and said: "You and Zijing are probably arranged by heaven to help me. It is difficult to gather 50,000 soldiers at once. I have already selected 30,000 troops, ships, food, weapons, etc. Everything is ready. You, Zijing, and Cheng Gong will set off immediately before me. I am going to continue to deploy troops and load more food and grass as your backup. If you can deal with it, that's great. If you can't repel Cao Jun, come back and join us I will meet up, and we will fight Cao Cao together." So Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were ordered to be the commanders-in-chief and deputy commanders, and led the troops to join Liu Bei's troops to fight against Cao Cao, and Lu Su was appointed as the lieutenant of the Zan Army to assist Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu. Plan a battle strategy.

The formation of Sun Quan's anti-Cao forces is as follows: Commander-in-Chief: Zhou Yu, Governor-General of the Right Deputy Commander: Zuo Dudu Cheng Pu Navy forward: Wu Feng Zhonglang general Huang Gai, Zhonglang general Han Dang The main force of the navy: Colonel Gan Ning, Colonel Zhou Tai, Zhonglang General Lu Fan Army: Zhonglang General Lu Meng, Zhonglang General Ling Tong Logistical support: Lieutenant Lu Su of the Zan Military Academy, and responsible for contacting Liu Bei and Liu Qi's troops In this way, the army of Soochow has more than 30,000 horses, plus Liu Bei and Liu Qi's more than 20,000 troops, the total is about 50,000 horses, which is about a quarter of Cao Cao's Southern Expedition Army and the Jingzhou Navy participating in the battle. , the disparity in the balance of power between the two sides is roughly equivalent to the situation in Yuan Cao's Guandu battle.

This is another classic masterpiece in the history of human warfare! 130 Cao Mengde won Jiangling at his fingertips. He was so happy, and sighed alone: ​​If Sun Zhongmou can join me, the world will be peaceful. Jia Xu said, "Does the Prime Minister know about Jiang Dong Qiao Xuan?" One sentence awakened Cao Mengde. He had heard that Qiao Xuan had two daughters. They were extremely beautiful. wife. Thinking about it this way, a pair of beautiful-looking women appeared in front of Cao Mengde's eyes.People say that there are many beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, and I will be able to see them all in a short time.

Cao Mengde was daydreaming that someone sent a letter from Jiangdong, saying that the letter of surrender had been torn to pieces by Sun Quan, that Sun Quan had formed an alliance with Liu Bei, and that the Sun-Liu allied forces had moved towards Chibi. The interest was ruined, Cao Mengde did not expect that Sun Quan would dare to risk the disgrace of the world and help the desperate Liu Bei.He asked: "Who is building a bridge for Sun Liu to be in trouble?" "Eighty percent is Zhuge Liang." Jia Xu said. "Zhou Gongjin is an outstanding talent, but who is Zhuge Liang?" Jia Xu then briefed him on Zhuge Liang's situation. "How do the two compare?" Cao Mengde asked. "Although Zhuge Liang has been an official for a short time, he has a great strategy, and Zhou Gongjin may not be as good as him." Jia Xu said. Zhou Gongjin, as the commander of Sun Quan's navy, is famous outside, and now there is another Zhuge Liang, this... "Prime Minister, don't worry, I have a plan to make Zhou Yu get rid of Zhuge Liang." Jia Xu said confidently. Cao Mengde was very satisfied after hearing Jia Xu's statement.
