Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 106 Send the order, pursue at full speed, shoot Kong Ming!

Zhou Yu smiled coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

"He had not yet come out of the army at that time. Who knows what talents he has? Only Liu Bei could value him at that time, and he also proved his ability with Liu Bei."

"Now I ask him to make an arrow but he can't make it. He knows that I have the intention to kill him. In addition, Cao Cao is even willing to hand over Jingzhou to Zhuge Liang. Of course he will make a choice as a shrewd person."

Zhou Yu himself had already made excuses for Zhuge Liang. After all, he had been biased from the beginning, and naturally he would not think about the good things. Now he has determined that Zhuge Liang is a traitor.

However, if Zhuge Liang is to be killed, an explanation is still needed. Otherwise, if word spreads that Jiangdong kills his allies casually, it will damage Jiangdong's reputation.

Now the reason is sufficient. Even if they kill Zhuge Liang, no one will say anything. Even Liu Bei should be grateful that they got rid of a traitor!
  Gan Ning, Huang Gai and others couldn't find anything to refute for a while, so they simply stopped saying anything.

"Grand Governor, please give the order. No matter what, your subordinates will follow you!"

Zhou Yu nodded, feeling a little relieved, and thought to himself: Sure enough, he is the one who can be relied upon!
  "Outsiders are outsiders after all. Jiangdong still needs to rely on us. As for outsiders, we should get rid of them after they are no longer useful!"

Then he ordered: "Send the order, pursue at full speed, and shoot Kong Ming!"

……

At this moment, there was a solemn atmosphere in Cao's camp.

"Report! The drum sound on the river is still approaching!"

……

"Report! The sound of the war drums is getting closer, and the enemy is getting closer!"

……

"Report! The drum sound has not stopped and is still approaching!"

……

One after another military information came back from the front line, and the mood of everyone in the big tent became heavier and heavier.

They secretly looked at Cao Cao and found that Cao Cao's face was gloomy, but every time they asked people to inquire again, they still did not give the order to fight back.

All the counselors were worried at this time. The enemy troops were approaching the border. Why didn't the prime minister give the order?

"Prime Minister, we can't wait any longer. When the enemy gets close, they will pose a threat to us!"

Xun You spoke after careful consideration, his expression a bit urgent, and his eyes kept glancing towards Cao Cao as he spoke.

But he didn't get the response he wanted. Cao Cao just nodded, but remained silent.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu knew that he could not wait any longer, so he also stood up to persuade.

"Prime Minister, please order an attack quickly. If you just shoot from a distance, it will be of great benefit to our army. No matter how many enemy soldiers there are, our army will definitely lose its troops under the rain of arrows!"

Cao Cao sighed, and he was also very worried. Why didn't he understand what the counselors said? Shooting enemies in the fog from a distance is the safest way for them.

But he believed Ye Fan's judgment: the enemy troops came this time not to attack them, but to get arrows from them!
  His suspicious nature should have made him doubt this, but Ye Fan had accurately seen through Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's strategies every time before, so he had to believe it.

So he is very confused now.

Jia Xu rolled his eyes, seeming to see Cao Cao's hesitation at this moment, and a look of solemnity appeared on his sickly face.

He guessed that the great sage behind Cao Cao seemed to have said something that made Cao Cao so hesitant.

But for Cao Jun, he had to stand up and persuade them.

"Prime Minister, the enemy hasn't arrived yet, so shooting them from a distance with bows and arrows is the best option. If they wait until they get close, it will be very dangerous and detrimental to our army."

"Even if you use rockets to ignite the enemy ship, the burning enemy ship will crash into it and pose a greater threat to our army!"

"So, Prime Minister, please give the order as soon as possible!" After Jia Xu finished speaking, Xiahou Dun suddenly walked out and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, what the gentlemen said is right, give the order as soon as possible. I am willing to lead the army to attack, and I will definitely do it. Kill the shit out of them!"

"Prime Minister, give the order!"

Cao Hong, Le Jin and other generals were already impatient. They found that today's prime minister completely lost the drive to kill decisively before, which made them very uncomfortable.

Facing the persuasion of civil servants and generals, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, the messenger came in a hurry again.

"Report! Prime Minister, the sound of drums is very close to our army!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao just waved his hand and said in a heavy voice: "Let's explore again!"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, those who were most puzzled were Jia Xu and other counselors.

They couldn't figure out why Cao Cao was unwilling to seize such a good opportunity and wasted it instead.

"What is the Prime Minister waiting for?"

Huge questions arose in everyone's mind.

There was still heavy fog on the river, like a sky covering everything, and only the rumbling sound of war drums could be heard approaching.

On the city wall, the soldiers looked nervous. Each one of them clenched their weapons and prepared for battle, but they were worried in their hearts.

Jiangdong's army will rush out who knows when. When the time comes, it will be very dangerous for them to get too close and have troops approaching the city.

But they wanted to kill the enemy, but they did not move.

Because all of this was because Prime Minister Cao told them to stand still and not to attack without orders.

"What do you think, Prime Minister? The sound of war drums is getting closer and closer!"

"Jiangdong is coming to attack the city, why don't you fight back!"

The soldiers were filled with doubts, and each of them could hardly hold back any longer. They stared at the river nervously, as if a huge monster would appear there next moment.

If they were fighting or retreating, they wouldn't be so nervous, but they were asked to wait. No one knew what they were waiting for, but they couldn't act rashly.

It's like knowing you are going to die, but the waiting before death is the most terrifying.

As the general who defended the city, Cao Ren saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

He could understand the mood of the soldiers, because even he could hardly bear to take action. Now was obviously the best time to attack. No matter how many troops came from Jiangdong, many of them would be killed in a salvo.

"What on earth did the Prime Minister ask us to wait for? In a little while, Jiangdong's army will be approaching the city!"

Listening to the complaints, Xu Huang next to him sighed with a solemn expression.

"The Prime Minister must have his own plans. All we have to do is strictly abide by military orders. The Prime Minister said that we must not act rashly. General, you should be patient."

Cao Ren sighed: "If it had been before, the Prime Minister would never have hesitated like this. What is happening now? Our army is strong, and we are still afraid of Jiangdong!"

He punched the city wall angrily, his face full of confusion and resentment.

The enemy was right in front of them, still provoking them, but they couldn't attack. This feeling made Cao Ren, a general, very depressed.

Xu Huang couldn't understand either and could only comfort him.
