Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 159 Zhou Yu's Plan
Zhou Yu didn't speak for a long time. Instead of blaming Jiang Gan, he sheathed the sharp sword in his hand.

"Your Majesty's reward and loyalty to the King, my lord hasn't doubted me yet, so how can I doubt my lord? Most of Ziyi's words are rumors, and you only learned such intrigues in Xudu? Cao bandits can't fight us with swords and guns, now send them A tongue?" Zhou Yu sneered.

Jiang Gan didn't expect Zhou Yu to be so stubborn, so he shook his head and sighed: "Gongjin's water battle is indeed unparalleled in the world, but can Jiangdong's warship go from Nanyang to the Central Plains? To be honest, Prime Minister Cao is about to go south for revenge. How can this little Xinye Can you stand it?"

"Hahaha, I'm still afraid that he won't come. Although Jiangdong's warships can't attack the Central Plains from Nanyang, as long as my lord captures Hefei, he can go north along the Huaisi River and enter the Central Plains. Even if I lose this Xinye No matter what, let alone Liu Xuande's allies in Jingzhou." Zhou Yu laughed wildly.

Jiang Gan didn't have such a strategic vision at all, and it really made sense to hear what Zhou Yu said, so he swallowed his saliva and didn't talk about surrendering.

Zhou Yu stayed with Jiang Gan for one night, and returned to Xudu in a desperate manner the next day.

After Jiang Gan returned to Xudu, he said that Yu Yu was so elegant that words could not separate him.

Cao Cao didn't have much hope for Jiang Gan. After encouraging him, he continued to prepare for the Southern Expedition. He ordered Xun Yu and Xiahou Dun to prepare food and grass.

Although Zhou Yu said this, it was as if a seed had been thrown on his body, and it had slowly started to germinate in his heart, and he was restless for several days.

Seeing this, Lu Su asked, "Governor, what troubles do you have?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, "I heard that Cao Cao withdrew his troops in Hefei. He won't just sit back and watch Xiangfan be cut off from his food supply. He may attack Xinye to save Cao Ren next year. I'm worried about the war next year."

"After Cao Cao's defeat at Chibi, the strength of his army has been greatly reduced. If he really dares to attack Xinye, the Lord will have a chance of winning if he attacks Hefei. As long as we withstand the pressure, the Lord may achieve great success." Lu Su was not worried but happy.

"You and I can see this matter clearly. There are so many advisers under Cao Cao's tent, so we can certainly see it clearly. I always feel a little passive, not as refreshing as Chibi." Zhou Yu said lightly.

"The governor can send more spies. If Cao Cao increases his troops in Hefei, we will continue to attack Xiangyang. If Cao Cao wants to go south to Xinye, let the lord attack Hefei. There is always one side that will win in a two-front battle." Lu Su analyzed.

"If the lord can't beat Hefei, and we can't defend Xinye, what should we do?" Zhou Yu put forward a hypothesis.

"Impossible? Cao Cao's troops were insufficient after the Chibi War, and it was impossible to divide the troops into two groups." Lu Su looked disbelieving.

"It's a hypothesis, what does Zijing think?" Zhou Yu asked.

Lu Su thought for a while, and then said leisurely: "In this way, we can only give up the Jingzhou battlefield to Liu Xuande, and then return to Jiangdong to focus on the Hefei battlefield."

Zhou Yu raised his head and sighed: "Then we can only guard Jiangdong, and Zijing's strategy on the couch is useless."

Lu Su smiled wryly and said: "Liu Xuande now occupies Jingzhou, so the best strategy is useless."

"Liu Xuande is ashamed of Jiangdong for taking Jingzhou. While his current strength is still small, how about we take advantage of Jiangling to take Yizhou with soldiers from Xinye?" Zhou Yu said whimsically.

Lu Su opened his eyes wide, and asked in disbelief: "Yizhou is blocked by Jingzhou. Even if the governor takes Yizhou, it seems that it will not benefit Jiangdong."

Zhou Yu said with a mysterious smile: "Hahaha, I really want to take Yizhou. When Cao Cao goes south to rescue Cao Ren, you can go to Jiangling to ask Liu Bei for help. When Jingzhou's soldiers go north to fight Cao Cao, I will pretend to be defeated and go to Jiangling. To take Yizhou, Liu Bei will definitely go out of the city to work as an army, we control him to seize Jiangling, and then occupy the entire Jingzhou, this is a false plan to attack Guo."

"Although Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi, he is still strong and we are weak at this time. If we destroy the Sun-Liu alliance, wouldn't I, Jiangdong, face the Cao thief alone?" Lu Su was shocked and speechless.

"After taking Jingzhou and then taking Yizhou, Zijing has already divided the world. At that time, do you still have to be afraid of Cao Cao?" Zhou Yu said, patting him on the shoulder.

Lu Su shook his head and said in a low voice, "I always feel a little unkind."

"Zi is a sincere and honest man, and those who achieve great things don't care about small things. At that time, Cao Cao's main force was dragged in Jingzhou, and the lord went north to capture Hefei. The world will soon be stable. At that time, it will not be too late to talk about benevolence and righteousness." Zhou Yu said disdainfully. .

"Okay then, this is a big matter, I should report to the Lord for discussion." Lu Su said.

Zhou Yu: "It's natural. Zijing knows what happened in Wu County a few days ago? Lu Ziheng and Zhuge Ziyu were targeted by the scholars of Wu Hui. They never regarded us Jiangbei people as their own."

"I'm used to it." Lu Su smiled wryly.

"So we must lay down the old land of Huaisi, or find a safe place for Jiangbei soldiers," Zhou Yu sighed.

Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu in awe. He finally understood why the governor was so eager. The fundamental reason was that the current situation in Jiangdong was not in harmony, which had intensified since the Battle of Chibi.

"Taking advantage of the winter rest, I want to go back to Jiangdong to meet the lord, and I will tell you about the governor's plan, so that the two fronts can cooperate to fight together." Lu Su suggested.

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Alright, I'll write a letter and ask Zijing to bring it to the lord."

Lu Su nodded and exited the hall, and then went to pack his bags for returning home.

In winter, Jiangdong is also cold and windy. The officials and officials of Wu County did not stay warm at home, but were busy moving to Moling.

From the beginning of December, there was an endless stream of boats traveling between Wujun and Moling. Sun Quan renamed Moling as Jianye, and moved out of the right and wrong nest in Wujun.

Since living in Jianye, Sun Quan felt that he was one step closer to the Central Plains.

Lu Su sailed to Chai Sang to deliver Zhou Yu's family letter first, and then he found out that Sun Quan had moved to the government office. After bidding farewell to Xiao Qiao, he went down the river to Jianye.

Sun Quan was in a happy mood during this time, because most of the rich families in Wujun and Kuaiji stayed where they were, and only a small number of people followed to Jianye. It feels wonderful to be able to control the political power freely. Now only there is military power outer.

By appointing a new general, He Qi, and personally leading troops to attack Hefei, Sun Quan slowly took back the military power that originally belonged to him.

Lu Su came to Jianye to meet Sun Quan, and once again told the situation in the world that he had talked about with Zhou Yu. After hearing this, Sun Quan actually felt disdainful.

Hit Hefei and enter the Central Plains.

Sun Quan wanted to achieve greater achievements than his father and brother.

But when Sun Quan read Zhou Yu's letter, he fell silent, because in the letter, the governor "asked him for instructions" to steal Jingzhou and Yizhou.

Zhou Yu now holds the Jiangdong military power in his hands, so there is no difference between this kind of request and notification.

"My lord, do you think the governor's plan is feasible?" Lu Su asked.

Sun Quan was very good at concealing his likes and dislikes. He replied with a smile: "Gongjin's plan is very good, but please stick to Xinye for a little longer so that he can cooperate with me in capturing Hefei."

Lu Su nodded, "That's what I mean too, but the governor intends to use Liu Xuande to resist Cao Cao, so he can take the opportunity to steal Jingzhou, and I will convey the meaning of the lord after I go back."

"No, it's all according to the commander-in-chief's wishes. Whether it's stealing Jingzhou or taking Yizhou, it's for me to expand the territory of Jiangdong. Naturally, I will fully support it." Sun Quan quickly added.
