But Cao Cao chose to fight them here, probably because he was stimulated by the loss of Jiangxia City and the deaths of Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan.
These two people are Cao Cao's true confidants Siblings.
As the saying goes, a sad soldier will win. Cao Cao risked his life to fight them, but they had to be cautious and not be careless.
"It's not good for this, it's not good for that, it's really frustrating!"
Lü Bu couldn't help but said dullly after listening to it. Although he knew what Zhuge Liang said was reasonable, he would inevitably feel unhappy in his heart.
He should have insisted on leading his troops back to rescue Chang'an before.
Seeing this, Lu Su said, "Duke Wen This time First to Scale captured the city and killed Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan in formation, which can be described as unparalleled power."
"Now that Cao Thief is close at hand, why should Duke Wen be in a hurry? Sooner or later, there will be a place for Duke Wen to show his bravery."
Lu Su's words finally made Lü Bu feel a little better. He immediately said, "I don't care about these twists and turns. I will tell this general when there is a war."
After saying that, Lü Bu stood up and left Military Tent.
Seeing Lü Bu and Lu Su who came and went so quickly, they couldn't help but smile and said to Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu: "It's really easy to work with a general like Duke Wen."
Lü Bu Although his words and deeds are a bit rude, he doesn't have any ideas. He just needs to say more nice things. He is brave in fighting and willing to listen to advice.
In comparison, Commander-in-Chief, who is petty, suspicious, and unwilling to listen to advice, is nothing like Sun Quan.
"It makes sense for Duke Wen to be respected by Your Majesty."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, Military Generals like Lü Bu can't find any major faults in all aspects. The only two shortcomings are that he is not very smart and likes drinking and sex.
Therefore, he admired Zhao Yun more. Although Zhao Yun's bravery was not as good as Lü Bu's, it was not inferior by much. Not only was he brave and resourceful, but he also carried out military orders very thoughtfully.
I saw the two of them chatting and laughing, but Zhou Yu had no other thoughts.
He frowned and asked the two of them, "Military Advisor, Zijing, have you thought about how to defeat Cao Army?"
The topic of today's discussion is to formulate a strategy to deal with the Cao Army.
Cao Army Navy is powerful and will surpass them by a lot. This battle is very crucial and will determine whether they can successfully advance to Jiangnan.
Lu Su shook his head when he heard this, and sighed, "Cao Army is waiting hard, and it is really hard to find any flaws. It is not easy to defeat the strong with the weak."
Now that the two sides are facing each other head-on, he can't think of any good way to win. It seems that there is no other way except to use the hard power of both sides.
But the risk is not small.
Zhou Yu thought for a moment after hearing this, and said to Zhuge Liang, "I have a plan, but I don't know if it is possible. I hope Military Advisor will decide it for me."
"Oh? Gongjin has a good plan? What a coincidence."
Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I happen to have a plan, why don't you and I write the plans on our hands and see if what we see is the same?"
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "There is nothing wrong with you!"
Then he and Zhuge Liang each held a pen and wrote something in their hands, and then came together.
The two of them each opened their palms.
Lu Su was very curious, so he went over to take a look. He couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed out loud.
"Heroes really think alike!"
I saw the word "fire" written on the palms of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu!
With Lu Su's vision, it is not difficult to guess that this is the meaning of Fire Attack.
Both of them plan to adopt the Fire Attack strategy!
Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang quite unexpectedly, and was very surprised. He did not expect that Zhuge Liang had the same idea as him.
"Military Advisor actually plans to use Fire Attack?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Cao Army Navy are powerful and have dense warships. This is both their strength and weakness."
"As long as their warships can be set alight and the army waits for an opportunity to attack, victory in this battle will be guaranteed."
After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Zhou Yu couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Because he thinks so too.
After wiping off the ink stains on his hands, Zhou Yu said, "Military Advisor, Fire Attack's strategy is good, but it is not easy to implement. Cao Army will definitely be prepared for it."
"So I hope that Military Advisor will lead the army to pretend to retreat tomorrow, while I will lead a Death Warriors team to hide in Southern Bank. After the Cao Army relaxes his vigilance, I will lead the team to approach Cao Army Navy at night and launch an attack and light their ships."
"When Military Advisor leads the army to fight back again, Cao Army will definitely be defeated!"
There are no fighter planes at the moment, so Zhou Yu plans to create one.
He will risk his life to personally lead the troops to set fire to the Cao Army ship!
After learning Zhou Yu's plan, the smile on Lu Su's face suddenly froze, and then he said in surprise, "Gongjin, are you crazy? This is too risky!"
Fire Attack is nothing, the key is that Zhou Yu plans to personally lead the Death Warriors team to set fire to the Cao Army ship. Regardless of success or failure, this team is unlikely to survive.
It is simply an act of sending someone to death!
Zhou Yu's eyes were determined, and he said in a deep voice, "As long as I can defeat Cao Army, what does it matter if I die?"
He promised Sun Quan in prison that he would kill Cao Cao.
This is also his only belief now.
As long as Cao Cao can be defeated, it will be worth his death!
Lu Su didn't expect that Zhou Yu had already prepared to die. Just when he was about to persuade him, Zhuge Liang spoke up.
I saw Zhuge Liang thinking for a moment, nodding and saying, "Gongjin's strategy is indeed good..."
Lu Su was anxious and said, "Military Advisor, let's discuss this matter again. Maybe there is a better strategy than this."
"Zijing, you don't need to say more, I have made my decision."
Zhou Yu stopped Lu Su from continuing to speak, and then handed over to Zhuge Liang: "Military Advisor, please give the order!"
Seeing Zhou Yu's determined expression, a hint of admiration flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes, but he did not give the order immediately, but smiled and said, "Gongjin is too anxious, why don't you listen to my plan?"
"I have a plan. I don't need Gongjin you to put yourself in danger. As long as you bear some physical pain, you can also achieve the goal Fire Attack Cao Army."
Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this, while Lu Su was overjoyed and asked quickly, "What is Military Advisor's clever plan?"
He didn't want to see Zhou Yu die.
In comparison, what is the pain of flesh and blood?
Zhuge Liang didn't show any concern at all and said, "What Gongjin said before is right. Cao Army will definitely be prepared for us to carry out Fire Attack."
"So if you want to use Fire-Attack Stratagem, you must first dispel Cao Cao's vigilance before you have the possibility of success."
"So I want to use Feigning Surrender to dispel Cao Cao's defenses."
Zhuge Liang said calmly.
Zhou Yu looked puzzled after hearing this and said, "We represent Imperial Court, how can Cao Cao believe that we will... wait a minute!"
Zhou Yu suddenly realized something, looked up at Zhuge Liang, and asked with some uncertainty, "Military Advisor means, let me go to Feigning Surrender?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "That's right."
If he said that he wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, even a fool would know that this was false, because it was impossible.
But it will be different if Zhou Yu surrenders. You must know that Zhou Yu is a surrendered general who was pardoned by Son of Heaven, and essentially does not belong to the faction of Imperial Court.
Moreover, Zhou Yu's Lord Sun Quan was also killed by Imperial Court. If he surrendered to Cao Cao, the reason would be defensible.
"But even if I go to Feigning Surrender, Cao Cao probably won't believe it."
Zhou Yu understood what Zhuge Liang meant, but was not optimistic about this plan. He frowned and said, "Cao Cao is cunning and suspicious. Cao Cao originally made a covenant with Betrayal. There is also hatred between Cao Cao and I."
"Now that the two armies are facing each other, how can he believe that I suddenly switched sides?"
Cao Cao is not a stupid person. Feigning Surrender is so full of flaws. Based on his understanding of Cao Cao, he doesn't think Cao Cao will believe it.
"So, there is still a play to be performed."
Zhuge Liang expected that Zhou Yu would say this, and then said with a faint smile, "Now Cao Cao is under Great General Xu Huang was captured by us. We only need to deliberately stage a drama of discord between you and me in front of Xu Huang, and then Gongjin will let him go privately, and he will report it to Cao Cao."
"When Cao Cao's doubts are dispelled, Gongjin will contact Cao Cao privately and surrender to him. He will not think too much about it."
"At that time, Gongjin does not need to personally join Cao Camp. He only needs to agree with Cao Cao on a time to defect and prepare ten Small Warships ships. Load the boats with firewood, fill them with Grease, pretend to surrender, and head towards the north bank. When they are two miles away from Cao Camp, all the boats will light their fires and rush towards the Cao Army. This plan is completed."
Zhuge Liang slowly expressed his thoughts and plans.
Zhou Yu and Lu Su's eyes lit up when they heard it. The more they listened, the more excited they became, and in the end they couldn't help but scream in admiration!
"What a brilliant idea!"
Zhou Yu praised with great excitement, not hiding his admiration for Zhuge Liang's strategy.
Lu Su also said with admiration, "Military Advisor's strategy is far better than mine, which is really shameful."
He had heard before that Son of Heaven specially sent people to search for Jing Province in order to invite Zhuge Liang to come out, and traveled thousands of miles to recruit Zhuge Liang, so that he could directly enter the central government to participate in political affairs.
Now Zhuge Liang is only twenty-two years old, but he has already reached the high position of Left Minster of the People. Son of Heaven even asked him to take charge of the military crusade against Cao Cao. Even Lü Bu needs to obey Zhuge Liang's orders.
Before, he thought it was Son of Heaven favoring Zhuge Liang. Now it seems that Son of Heaven's preference is true, but Zhuge Liang's own intelligence is almost that of Demon.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Since Gongjin and Zijing have no objections, then the matter is settled."
"It's just that acting in front of Xu Huang must be real, so when the time comes, I will order the military law to be used against Gongjin and be whipped hard."
"Liang would like to apologize to General Gongjin in advance."
Zhuge Liang said as he stood up and left the table, bowing his hands to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was shocked and quickly stood up to return the gift, and said with shame, "Military Advisor What are you talking about? If Military Advisor had not opened his mouth to plead with Your Majesty, Zhou Yu's life would have been ruined by Execution Ground."
"As long as Cao Thief can be defeated, it doesn't matter if Zhou Yu dies, so what does it matter about the mere suffering of flesh and blood?"
"Please Military Advisor act boldly!"
His strategy was to rush to death, but Zhuge Liang's strategy was even more clever, and it didn't require him to die, which was equivalent to saving his life in disguise.
Coupled with the fact that he begged Son of Heaven last time, he owed Zhuge Liang two favors, and he may not be able to pay them back in his lifetime.
Zhuge Liang said, "With the words Gongjin, I feel relieved. When I defeat Cao Thief and show my merits to Son of Heaven, Gongjin will definitely be the first one."
Zhou Yu dare not even say it.
Lu Su saw this scene from the side and felt very happy. After experiencing so many things, Zhou Yu has also grown a lot.
