Everyone looked at each other, and they all cupped their hands: "I have no objection, and I am willing to listen to the command of the governor!"
Especially the Shanyue tribes are full of excitement, all of them are gearing up.
"It is said that the military generals of Cao Ying are powerful. Today, I, the Shanyue people, must let the whole man know. Then Cao Cao is nothing more than that!"
Seeing their fighting spirit so high, Zhou Yu's mouth curled up, and he waved his long sleeves vigorously.
"Okay! If that's the case, let's transfer troops to the warships, and let's go north to attack Hefei!"
"If you don't break Cao Ying, you will never return it!"
Under his command, the generals quickly organized their troops and boarded the warship, and began to cross the Yangtze River north to Hefei.
Zhou Yu nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and looked at Sun Quan.
"Zhongmou, you've been tired recently, so take a good rest first, I'll fight Zhang Liao for you!"
"General Ling, Boyang, let's go!"
After speaking, he took Ling Cao and Sun Ben out of the army tent, got on the lead boat and went straight to Cao Ying.
Looking at Zhou Yu's powerful appearance, Sun Quan's eyes revealed a murderous look.
"Damn it! When my eldest brother was here, how dare you Zhou Yu and even your Zhou family dare to do this? How dare you take my grandson's family aside?"
The jealousy and jealousy in Sun Quan's heart became more intense. He understood what Zhou Yu's words meant, and it was nothing more than letting him completely delegate power.
Before the Battle of Chibi, when Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai were powerful and loyal veterans who were still alive, Zhou Yu did not reveal his ambitions at all.
Just by his side, playing the role of military adviser and commander.
But now his father, Sun Jian and Sun Ce, the loyalists left behind are gone, either dead or surrendered to Cao Ying.
Coupled with the disastrous defeat of Sun Quan in the Battle of Hefei and the loss of prestige, Zhou Yu's power gradually increased, and his ambition was exposed a little bit.
Sun Quan is well aware of the situation in Jiangdong, and the voices of support for Zhou Yu from those aristocratic families are getting louder and louder!
The aristocratic family doesn't care who is in power, as long as their interests are in place, instead of supporting a Sun family who has no reputation and no family background, why not support the Zhou family who is in full swing?
"Damn! You want to leave me behind, and you go to make contributions and gain prestige alone? It's a beautiful idea!"
"I want to follow along to see if you, Zhou Yu, can defeat Cao Ying!"
Sun Quan got up and walked towards the pier with his confidant Yu Fan, wanting to keep up with the large army to see the situation of the battle.
Seeing that the former general Ling Cao and others were no longer close to Sun Quan, Sun Quan's eyes became a little more complicated, and he looked at Yu Fan beside him.
"Zhong Xiang, you are the only person I can trust. You said... If Zhou Yu wins this battle, what should I do?"
"As you can see now, this Jiangdong is no longer the Jiangdong it was a year ago."
"If there is no place for me, Zhongxiang, you should find a good master! I won't blame you, this is human nature."
Yu Fan took a deep look at him, smiled lightly and shook his head slowly.
With his intelligence, how could he not know what Sun Quan meant?
"My lord, you don't need to test me. Both the First Master and Bo Fu have shown great kindness to my Yu family. How can I, Yu Fan, be the kind of person who is following others?"
"As for the victory or defeat of the governor, it is not up to us to make a decision, let's do it and see!"
Sun Quan nodded, very satisfied with Yu Fan's performance.
At this moment, he felt a little bit in his heart, wanting to see Zhou Yu defeated!
If he wins, it will be beneficial to Jiangdong, and he will be free from the rule of Cao Ying!
But only if Zhou Yu is defeated, will he have a chance to regain power, right?
Just when the two were about to board the boat, a personal guard rushed up suddenly, holding something in his hand.
"My lord! Then Xia Houzhe from Cao Ying sent a messenger and brought you a gift. Would you... want to see it?"
Sun Quan was stunned, Cao Ying gave him a gift?
Why is it so like a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken?They have such a good heart?
"Submit it and show it to me! By the way, where is the messenger?"
"Oh! The messenger told him that you have a bad temper, and that he was afraid of being beheaded by you, so he put down his things and left first."
The scout responded respectfully, and presented a rusty medal belt with both hands.
Sun Quan took a look at the items and letters, and his face turned livid.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn Xia Houzhe insulted me like this!"
"Cao Cao beat me, Zhou Yu bullied me, and Xia Houzhe humiliated me so much! I, Sun Quan, swear here, I will climb to the highest peak step by step!"
"I want you to regret it, today's revenge will be avenged tomorrow!"
Looking at Sun Quan who was roaring hysterically, Yu Fan didn't know why, so he quickly took the two things from his hand and took a look...
I saw the word "God of War" engraved on the medal, and the letter read: Having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Hefei will give away [-] heads!
Yu Fan thought silently for a while, and couldn't help opening his mouth to speak.
"Well... it kind of rhymes..."
But when he felt Sun Quan's angry eyes, Yu Fan quickly changed his words.
"Ah bah, my lord, what I mean is, does a single bet also count as a bet?"
Looking at Sun Quan's red-eyed and angry look, Yu Fan sighed.
"My lord, don't worry. If the matter really comes to that point... maybe the subordinates can find a way to bring down Zhou Gongjin and let the lord regain power."
"What? Are you serious?" Sun Quan was startled, with joy in his eyes, he squeezed Yu Fan's shoulder and asked.
Yu Fan nodded: "Really!"
With his words, Sun Quan was relieved.
Don't look at Yu Fan as a civil servant, but this man is amazing. Not only can he travel two hundred miles a day like a flying man, but he is also good at using spears!
Moreover, he studies Confucian classics, is proficient in "Book of Changes", and is also proficient in medical skills.
In Sun Quan's eyes, this guy can be compared with Dongfang Shuo.
When Sun Ce was alive, he had chatted with his younger brother. Yu Fan has an amazing talent and can be reused!
He even compared Yu Fan to Xiao He, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, and gave him a very high evaluation.
It's a pity... Sun Quan didn't particularly like this kind of blunt remonstrance before, but now, Yu Fan is the only one around him who never leaves him.
The two looked at each other, then ordered the warship to move out, and began to keep up with the large army.
……
The news of Jiangdong's army's actions naturally couldn't be hidden from Cao Ying's intelligence network.
After all, in terms of military affairs, Cao Cao's most important thing is intelligence and technology.
The moment Zhou Yu and the others dispatched their troops, the scouts returned to Hefei with the information.
At this moment, Cao Cao Xia Houzhe was lying on the master chair enjoying the maid's massage.
Cao Cao was still holding a small wine in his hand, and while drinking, he brainwashed the generals.
"Everyone, I can tell you very responsibly that working hard can really make you rich! I, Cao Cao, are your role model!"
"Look at me, when Dong Zhuo was in power, I was a fugitive, but after my unremitting efforts and hard work, I not only became Wei Gong, but also bought a big manor and a luxury car!"
"So...you must cheer me on!"
Cao Cao kept instilling the idea of living for Cao, dying for Cao, and fighting for Cao all his life.
The generals nodded secretly. They really felt that Cao Cao's development history was a little inspirational, and the eyes they looked at him became a lot of admiration.
However, Cao Chun frowned and looked at him with a little displeasure.
As a boss, if you don't bring someone who oppresses employees like this, the capitalists don't even have you!
And... your requirements are getting higher and higher, right?Instead of burning coal, steam cars are burning flammable gasoline?
"Brother, you bought a car, why do you want us to refuel it? Why can't you afford it, Mr. Wei? You don't want to squeeze wool like this!"
Seeing Cao Chun who was full of disgust and reluctance, everyone was obviously taken aback.
Cao Cao also blinked in confusion, what do I mean?
"I... this... I'm not asking you to cheer up, I mean to ask you to cheer up, this cheering up is not... forget it."
"Come on! Fork out!"
Just when Cao Cao was furious at Cao Chun, the scout slipped in with a slip of his knees and knelt down in front of everyone with precision.
"Report to the lord! That Zhou Yu mobilized 10,000+ troops, together with all the Shanyue tribes, went north across the river!"
Hearing this information, Cao Cao's complexion changed, and he sat up in shock.
"What? Zhou Yu dared to take the initiative to attack? And brought so many troops?"
"Made! Even if you want to lie down and rest for a few days!"
"Quick! Everyone, don't paddle your horses and paddle your horses, get up and send troops to line up for me! Pull the cannons and guns to the edge of Chaohu Lake, and the battlefield will be in Chaohu Lake outside Hefei City!"
Chaohu Lake is located in the south of Hefei, with well-developed waterways connecting Fei to the north and Ruxukou to the south.
Moreover, the climate and environment are extremely suitable for growing grain. Cao Cao has already designated this area as a grain planting base.
The terrain here is flat and the waters are wide, making it the most suitable place for war.
Hearing the order, everyone immediately got up and prepared to dispatch troops.
But Xia Houzhe waved his hand calmly.
"What's the rush? We are weak in water warfare. Instead of fighting on the water, why not let them land?"
"On land, we have muskets, tigers and leopards. Isn't it easy to crush those mountain thieves?"
When he mentioned this, Cao Cao suddenly realized.
"It makes sense, and it's more convenient for us to prepare if we have our back against the city!"
"Then go and wait outside Hefei City. The artillery is heavy and the deployment speed is relatively slow. The first to enter the battle and the tiger cavalry to establish a defense line first!"
With an order, Cao Ying's big machine immediately started to rotate.
Xia Houyuan and Zhang Liao Gan Ning guarded the four gates of the city, ready to rescue and hunt down at any time.
Cao Cao led his army out of the city, and outside the city, tiger cavalry and leopard cavalry and other troops gathered.
The leading vanguard is not Lu Bu, nor Dian Wei Wang Yue Zhao Yun and other generals, but... Sima Yi with a spear on his shoulder!
Zhao Yun and others were extremely puzzled by Cao Cao's decision.
"My lord, why did you let an amateur play the first battle? This is related to the morale of our army, or...the last general will go?"
"With the silver gun in my hand, I'm sure that Zhou Yu will come and go!"
Chapter 902 Sima Yi: Who else
In fact, not only Zhao Yun was puzzled, but even Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun were puzzled.
Cao Cao, who has always used his own people, why would he use an unknown young general.
And... I heard that this guy is still a clerical worker.
Even though he came from Sima's family, Sima Fang was kind enough to promote Cao Cao, but he didn't have to go through the back door like this, right?
"My lord! Think twice!"
"Not every civil servant is called Cheng Yu Lusu. You, my lord, know how important the morale of the enemy is before the battle!"
Everyone looked sideways at Cheng Yu, the aura of peerless early breaking through the mid-term is indeed a bit frightening!
Tai Shici and Cao Chun couldn't understand even more. Could it be that there is no bottleneck in this guy's martial arts training?
Facing Zhao Yun and others' questions, Cao Cao chuckled lightly.
"I know what you are worried about, you can rest assured, it is very stable!"
"This is not my decision, but... my brother's!"
Upon hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone suddenly realized and shut their mouths.
