Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 389 New 3 Kingdoms 29

Sun Quan was overjoyed!

That's right, when Sun Quan heard that Zhou Yu had gone out and was carried back with blood, he was immediately happy. This guy was showing off his father's sword here, and even his second son had to listen to him. It was really retribution.

After gloating over the misfortune, he quickly wanted to understand why it turned out like this. Zhou Yu did not care about Sun Quan's smile, which was harder to suppress than an AK, and directly said that it was because there were capable people in Cao's army. The layout of their water strongholds was as scientific and reasonable as a turtle shell. With the coalition forces' strength, it would be like a tiger eating the sky, and they would not be able to find a place to bite.

But if this continues, the day when Cao Cao trains 500,000 troops into a navy will be the day when the coalition forces will be destroyed, so they have to find a way to get rid of the people who train the navy for Cao Cao.

It was easy to find people to train the navy in Cao's camp, just Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. The problem was how to get rid of them, and Zhou Yu was so upset that he vomited blood.

Getting rid of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun was in the interests of almost everyone except themselves, including Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was different from Liu Biao who rode into Jingzhou alone. Liu Biao tried every means to control Jingzhou and almost lost his integrity in the end. Cao Cao came with his troops, and given the current situation, it would only take a nod for him to overturn the table.

The reason why Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are still being used is, firstly, because their family was originally the local tyrant in Jingzhou, and they went a step further through the marriage with Liu Biao, and now they lead the military of Jingzhou; secondly, he wants them to train the navy for him, and after the navy is trained, he can find a reason to kill them.

The problem now is that they know almost nothing about the coalition forces, and Liu Ye can't handle it either, so they have to find another way.

"This Zhou Yu is a talented person!"

One day, Cao Cao was filled with emotion as he watched the Jiangdong warships approaching the water stronghold to investigate military intelligence.

"My lord, do you want to recruit Zhou Gongjin for your own use?"

After hearing Cao Cao's sigh, an adviser squeezed up to him and bowed to ask.

Cao Cao looked at the person who came and found that he was Jiang Gan, Jiang Ziyi, a native of Jiujiang, a classmate of Zhou Yu, and a man who made a living by eating.

"Do you have a solution?" Cao Cao obviously didn't believe it.

"If my lord is interested, I am willing to go to Jiangdong and use my eloquent tongue to persuade Zhou Yu. If that fails, I can also find out the strength of the coalition forces." Jiang Gan did not make any promises.

"Well, go and try it."

Cao Cao also thought that he would not lose out by catching rabbits while picking grass.

Yu Xian thinks that Zhou Yu is a very generous person. If Lu Bu was half as generous as him, he would not have been kidnapped and sold to Cao Cao by Wei Xu and Song Xian. It depends on what the author writes about how generous Zhou Yu is.

In response to Jiang Gan's visit, Zhou Yu not only called a bunch of people to join in a party, but even Zhuge Liang, who was working hard on the production of feather arrows, came. That would have been fine, but he also asked his wife (not concubine) Xiao Qiao to come out and dance in public to entertain everyone.

Which general brings his women into the barracks during a war?

In reality, an old classmate of a company executive came to visit. Knowing that the old classmate was sent by a competitor to gather intelligence, the executive not only called the heads of the special project team in charge of the company to accompany him, but also felt that this was not grand enough, so he asked his wife to come out and dance pole dancing to liven up the atmosphere.

Complaints aside, Yu Xian pretended to be an NPC and sat at the table to watch Xiao Qiao dance with the sword, while eating and drinking.

This is not a gathering of heroes at all, it is clearly a meeting of carrots, because everyone present except Yu Xian himself is vegetable.

After eating and drinking till night, Zhou Yu, who was drunk, insisted on sleeping with his old classmate Jiang Gan. Then they dragged each other into the tent. When the show was over, everyone went their separate ways.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Gan sneaked out of the camp, left the barracks on the pretext of having something to do at home, and returned to Cao's camp by boat. Not long after he entered Cao Cao's camp, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun received Cao Cao's order to go in, but they were taken out and chopped to pieces soon after.

The death of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun made everyone happy. Cao Cao pretended to be fooled and kicked Jiang Gan out of the barracks.

A few days later, Cai Mao's clansmen Cai Zhong and Cai He ran to the coalition camp to surrender. The reason was that Cao Cao killed Cai Mao, the patriarch of the Cai clan, and planned to liquidate the Cai clan. They could not swallow this humiliation so they surrendered to the coalition to seek revenge.

Zhou Yu asked people to properly resettle them. Sun Quan and Lu Su reminded him that it was very suspicious that the two men said they would surrender without even bringing their families, and that it was most likely a false surrender. Zhou Yu said that this was his territory and he was the boss, and if he was not satisfied, he could report to Sun Ce.

The two parted unhappily again.

Zhou Yu didn't bother to argue with Sun Quan about these things. Although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were dead, the naval camp they built was still impossible to break through unless it was burned down.

Trigger the keyword "fire attack"!

The first step is to find a way to get Cao's warships out of the turtle-shell-like water fort, and secondly, to find a way to approach Cao's warships unexpectedly and set them on fire, and finally, the army will advance by land and sea to crush them!

This is the plan, but how can it be implemented?

When in doubt, they would hold a meeting first. For the sake of confidentiality, Zhou Yu only said that although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were dead, the deployment they left behind was still unbreakable, so the only way was to let Cao's army leave the water fort. What do you think?

After a lot of haggling, they finally decided to choose a person with a clean identity who disliked Cao Cao to offer advice. Now there were no naval talents over there, and Cao Cao was at a loss as to what to do and basically did whatever was said.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the person who comes up with the idea must be famous enough.

Some people say that Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan are nearby. He is not currently serving any prince. As long as the price is high enough, he can complete this mission.

Then the second question arises: how to send Pang Shiyuan to Cao Cao?

When everyone was struggling with this matter, the sergeant came to report that Jiang Gan was visiting. Now the problem was solved, Zhou Yu quickly asked someone to do Pang Tong's work, and he went to deal with Jiang Gan himself.

Jiang Gan was scolded by Zhou Yu and kicked out of the tent, and was placed in an abandoned Taoist temple for the night.

The next day, Jiang Gan left Jiangdong and returned to Cao's camp with a man who did not look very good. Soon after, the gate of Cao's camp was opened, and warships sailed out of it and were connected by iron chains all over the river, like a city on the water.

The strategy of letting Cao's army escape was completed, but the next step was how to approach Cao's warships and set them on fire.

Zhou Yu held another meeting, this time it was quite grand, not only the people from Jiangdong, but also Zhuge Liang and the two undercover agents Cai Zhong and Cai He came. Zhou Yu first said that the weather was not good for fighting, so he decided to lift the combat readiness and rest for a while.

Huang Gai slammed the table and stood up and said, "Stop talking nonsense, you little brat, you have no backbone at all. If you keep hesitating, just surrender."

Zhou Yu said that I have the final say here, so I have to hold it in even if I am unhappy!

Huang Gai said, "When I was hanging out with Sun Jian, you were still wearing open-crotch pants, and now you dare to yell at me."

Zhou Yu said, "If I don't deal with you today, I'm not surnamed Zhou," and asked the soldiers to drag Huang Gai away and beat him with sticks first.

Huang Gai said, "I just don't accept it, you can bite me to death!"

Zhou Yu was so angry that he ordered the soldiers to strip Huang Gai of his armor and shirt immediately and then beat him in front of everyone.

Huang Gai had a lot of experience and was popular with the old people, so there were many people who pleaded for him. Only Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang were as steady as a rock.

Sun Quan was still brooding over what happened to Huang Gai in Luoyang. Although he could see the trick, he was happy to see it happen. As for Zhuge Liang, he had his own intentions. If he showed up, the show would not go on.
