Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 46 Do you really think the Prime Minister can destroy Liu Bei now?
  After Cao Cao glanced around, he named two generals.

"Yu Jin, Zhang He, I will give you 30,000 troops to capture Liu Bei!"

Neither Yu Jin nor Zhang He expected that such a good thing would happen to them, so they quickly stood up.

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

The other generals were a little frustrated and looked at Cao Cao with resentful eyes.

But Cao Cao also had his own reasons for choosing these two people.

Yu Jin held the army in a strict order, with dignity and resoluteness, but Zhang He was unparalleled in his use of military equipment, good at setting up camps and formations, and knew how to change tactics.

Only when these two men went to attack Liu Bei could Cao Cao feel at ease.

Having sent troops to attack Liu Bei, Cao Cao felt a little more at ease.

In his opinion, Liu Bei could not escape death this time, but he was also slightly worried.

He was worried about the backup plan Zhuge Liang might leave behind. After all, Liu Bei had escaped from death so many times, so he might not be able to create another miracle.

"Liu Bei's army has very few troops. I don't believe that he can fight against me with such a small number of troops?"

Cao Cao comforted himself, and at night, he came to Ye Fan with wine and meat to drink with Ye Fan.

"Sir, I'm here again bringing you food and wine."

Ye Fan was naturally very happy. He took the wine and meat and started to feast. During this time, there was wine and meat from time to time, which greatly satisfied his appetite.

It seems to keep going like this, and it feels good.

"What do you want to ask when you come to me this time?"

Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, smiled, and asked.

Every time Cao Cao came over, he would almost discuss the situation of Cao's army with Ye Fan. Ye Fan only thought that Cao Cao was diligent and studious and was not willing to be a veteran, so he told everything he knew every time.

Upon hearing the inquiry, Cao Cao chuckled: "Sir, I'm not here to ask for advice this time. I just want to chat with you."

"Now our army is on the alert, training our navy day and night, and building a large number of warships, just to be able to pacify Jiangdong in one battle."

"According to my estimation, when spring begins in March next year, the Prime Minister will definitely send troops to Jiangdong!"

"After conquering Jiangdong, I wonder what your plans are, sir?"

Ye Fan immediately laughed out loud: "Plan? What plan can a fire-headed soldier like me have? It's just that I will follow wherever the army goes. And with you here, I can be lazy and have a drink from time to time." "

Then he changed the topic and asked with a sneer: "Is it really that easy to pacify Jiangdong?"

Cao Cao was a little dissatisfied and said seriously: "Now our army has millions of people. Whether it is soldiers, horses or food, they are far superior to Jiangdong. And what the prime minister has done, I don't think he will lose to Jiangdong."

"Don't underestimate your opponent at any time," Ye Fan seemed to be preaching, and he said more seriously: "You must know that Jiangdong is not a weak opponent. Military strength is not the only factor that determines victory or defeat. I think Prime Minister Cao You should be clearer in your mind.”

When facing Yuan Shao, Cao Cao also defeated many with less, and was able to have Cao Cao's army of millions today.

"Although Jiangdong has a small number of troops, their navy is the trump card in their hands. It is definitely stronger than the navy under Prime Minister Cao who has only trained for a few months. This is their biggest advantage."

"Furthermore, Jiangdong's civil and military forces should not be underestimated. Although Zhang Zhao and others are selfish, if they help Sun Quan wholeheartedly, it will bring great help to Jiangdong."

"There are many first-rate military generals in Jiangdong. Moreover, although Zhou Yu has been defeated several times, his talent is amazing and cannot be underestimated."

"In addition, now that Zhuge Liang is heading to Jiangdong, it is a foregone conclusion that Sun and Liu will join forces. Their cooperation is not as simple as one plus one. The energy they can unleash is far beyond imagination." Ye Fan said all the advantages of Jiangdong in one breath. When he came out, his original intention was to let Cao Cao not be arrogant, otherwise he would probably suffer a loss when facing Jiangdong and Liu Beijun.

Cao Cao nodded repeatedly, feeling like he was back when he was a child when he faced his private school teacher, and he couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

He argued with a guilty conscience: "I heard that the Prime Minister has sent troops to attack Liu Bei. How can Liu Bei's thousands of soldiers be able to stop our army?"

"If Liu Bei is destroyed, the Sun-Liu coalition will naturally cease to exist."

Ye Fan sighed helplessly: "Have you forgotten Bowangpo and Xinye City before? Liu Bei has thousands of soldiers, and the combat power he can unleash is amazing."

"Besides, although Zhuge Liang's men went to Jiangdong, they will definitely leave behind strategies to resist Cao's army."

Cao Cao suddenly panicked and asked quickly: "Sir, are you saying that the crusade against Liu Bei is likely to fail?"

This time Ye Fan didn't speak anymore, he just smiled and continued drinking. In his opinion, Liu Bei was not killed so easily.

Cao Cao was even more panicked when he saw Ye Fan's appearance, but he finally decided to trust his generals. Yu Jin and Zhang He would definitely not let him down.

……

Far away in the Jiangdong Water Village, in Zhou Yu's tent, Zhou Yu was sitting there thinking about his next move.

In any case, Jiangdong is now at a disadvantage facing Cao Cao. They must weaken Cao's army in other ways.

Although Zhuge Liang went to Jiangdong and the matter of the Sun-Liu alliance has become a foregone conclusion, for Zhou Yu, even if the two sides join forces, he still looks down on Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

"They are just lost dogs. Why can they ally with me, Jiangdong? Just because they have thousands of soldiers?"

When facing Cao Cao, there is no difference between a few thousand troops and death. The essence of this alliance is that Liu Bei wants to use Jiangdong's power to resist Cao Cao.

Therefore, in Zhou Yu's mind, it was Liu Bei who should beg them to Jiangdong.

"That abominable Zhuge Liang obviously wanted something from us, but he pretended to be pretentious and dared to laugh at me, Jiangdong. This is simply too much!"

Zhou Yu thought angrily in his heart, if it wasn't for fighting against Cao Cao, he would have even wanted to kill Zhuge Liang.

One of them is dissatisfaction with Zhuge Liang's attitude, and another reason is that he is afraid of Zhuge Liang's intelligence and believes that if Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei develop, they will definitely pose a threat to Jiangdong!

After a while, he stopped thinking about Zhuge Liang and started thinking about Jiangdong today.

"Although Lord Sun Quan has decided to join forces with Liu to fight against Cao, the situation in Jiangdong is now very chaotic. The Jiangdong family wants to surrender. Even if they are suppressed by the Lord, it is difficult to stop their thoughts."

"They have even sent envoys to contact Cao Jun. For these guys, we must let them see the hope of victory."

Zhou Yu said silently, his face kept changing, and he began to think about the solution in his heart.

Even though he was full of confidence, he did not dare to say that he would win when facing Cao Jun. He could only use various methods to hinder Cao Jun.

"In addition to these aristocratic families, Jiangdong's morale is also very low. The previous failure has hit them too hard. They must regain their confidence."

Zhou Yu frowned: "If we want to regain Jiangdong's confidence, improve morale, and make the family change their views and focus on resisting Cao, now we can only have a chance by causing Cao's army to suffer heavy losses!"

After thinking about it, he came to a conclusion.

"If I want to severely damage Cao's army, I can only take advantage of Ma Teng. As long as Ma Teng enters Xuchang, I can take the next step!"
