The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 562
"This time Zhou Yu, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, will inevitably reuse the Jiangdong general, and we don't need to compete with him for credit. Helping the lord repel Xia Houyuan's troops is the most important thing."

Cheng Yu believed in Zhou Yu's ability, that's why he made concessions in this respect. Otherwise, how could he and Tai Shici completely hand over the general power? Now in Xiaopei, his and Tai Shici's official positions are second only to Zhou Yu, but in terms of seniority He is the oldest, if he has any opinions, he knows that Zhou Yu will listen to him.At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and the person outside said, "Shumu, it's me."

Zhu Huan had been working with Wei Yan for a while, and he recognized Wei Yan's voice as soon as he heard it. He glanced at Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu nodded, and asked Zhu Huan to open the door.

Zhu Huan opened the door and asked Wei Yan to come in. Wei Yan was a little surprised to see Cheng Yu also, he clasped his fists and said, "I didn't expect Prefect Cheng to be here." Wei Yan is usually stationed in Kuaiji, and Cheng Yu is stationed in Wujun. They will discuss matters related to Sangoe together, so they are still close friends.

"I'm here to discuss the night attack with Hugh Mu." Cheng Yu smiled.

"What a coincidence, the same is true for me. I wonder if Prefect Cheng has more detailed arrangements?" Wei Yan asked.

"The first four night raids tonight were feints, and Xiahoudun had to let Xiahoudun know that we were coming for a sneak attack, so there was no need to wrap the horseshoes with cloth to cover up the sound, but the fifth night raid was real..."

Before Cheng Yu finished speaking, Wei Yan understood: "The fifth night attack needs to wrap the horse's hoof with cloth so that the enemy cannot detect it, right?"

"No, no," Cheng Yu shook his head, "Because the fifth time is a real night attack, all the cavalry will definitely be dispatched. If all the cavalry wrap their horseshoes with cloth, the enemy will definitely notice the anomaly. The feint attack was in vain, so for the fifth night attack, we need to wrap horseshoes on four thousand cavalry, and the remaining one thousand cavalry don’t need it, so that the enemy will not be aware of our real intention.”

Wei Yan and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, they both deeply felt Cheng Yu's strength, they had never thought about this kind of detail, they might succeed if they didn't follow what Cheng Yu said, but if they did what Cheng Yu said The chance of success must be greater, and Wei Yan believes that even Zhou Fear may not have thought of this.

"Cheng Taishou, why didn't you tell Zhou Yu these details today?" Wei Yan asked puzzled.

"Zhou Yu is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but he has just joined the lord not long ago, and his prestige is not enough to convince everyone. Maybe you and I will not complain, but it is difficult to guarantee that generals such as Tai Shici, Wenpin and Liao Hua are completely convinced. They may only be superficial. If you believe in Zhou Yu, you will be more or less dissatisfied with Zhou Yu in your heart. After all, we used to be enemies, so if I explain this plan in too much detail, everyone will inevitably think that the credit belongs to me instead of Zhou Yu, which will be even more detrimental to Zhou Yu Commanding the three armies, so I didn't reveal these details today." Cheng Yu did so many things for Zhou Yu, which can be said to be well-intentioned.

"Cheng Taishou is a model for my generation to learn from, and I, Wei Yan, deeply admire you!" Wei Yan said respectfully.

"General Wei has said it before. Everything I do is not for Zhou Yu, but for my lord. Since my lord wants to use Zhou Yu again, then I will help Zhou Yu gain everyone's trust." Cheng Yu turned to Zhu Huan and said, "Hugh Mu , if Zhou Yu asks about these things, you just say that you thought of them yourself, and you don’t need to mention my name.”

"I'm afraid it's not good for me to do this. This is the credit of Cheng Taishou, how can I enjoy it to myself?" Zhu Huan felt deeply uncomfortable, and he was not such a person.

Cheng Yu patted Zhu Huan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I have been with the lord for a long time, and it's nothing if I miss a few credits, but you are still young, and these credits are very important to your future career, so you can accept them. "

"But I..." Zhu Huan wanted to continue to evade, but Wei Yan smiled heartily and said, "Shumu, you don't have to evade any more, since Prefect Cheng doesn't mind, why should you mind, compared to getting these credits, I believe Prefect Cheng would rather watch you grow rapidly."

Zhu Huan was very grateful in his heart, knelt down to Cheng Yu and Wei Yan and said, "Prefect Cheng, General Wei, I will never forget your kindness, Zhu Huan, if you need me in the future, just ask me, I, Zhu Huan, will definitely repay you to the death!"

"Okay, okay, get up, you are the pillar of our army, and my old Wei will die first, how can it be your turn so soon." Wei Yan helped Zhu Huan up, and couldn't help joking.

Seeing such a scene, Cheng Yu couldn't help thinking of the past. He remembered that when he first joined Li Yuan, he was still a rookie. At that time, he didn't even dare to speak in public. It is a fine tradition in Li Yuan's army to tell his clever plan in front of everyone and gain everyone's trust. It is a fine tradition in Li Yuan's army to support his juniors, so now he sees talented young people will show them more.

After Cheng Yu and Wei Yan left, Zhu Huan immediately went to the barracks to prepare. He asked people to prepare enough cloth for the cavalry. The sound of galloping horses was very loud, especially at night, but if the horseshoes were wrapped in thick cloth It can reduce the sound to a certain extent, which is often used by soldiers during night raids.

When Zhu Huan was making preparations, Zhou Yu and Zhou Tai were also on patrol. Zhu Huan saw that it was Zhou Yu who hurried over to salute with fists clasped. Zhou Yu told him not to be polite, but saw that he was preparing cloth, and asked, "General Zhu wants to use cloth?" Wrap the horse's hooves to reduce the sound of the galloping horse?"

"That's right, but it will be used for the last attack." Zhu Huan repeated what Cheng Yu said just now.Zhou Yu was very happy after hearing this, and praised him greatly: "General Zhu, did you think of all this? I didn't expect you to even think of these details. It's amazing."

"That's right, it's all me...alone..." Zhu Huan is upright. Although Cheng Yu has reminded him not to tell the truth, he still can't lie when he sees Zhou Yu's admiring gaze on him.

Zhou Yu saw the hesitation in Zhu Huan's words. He knew that Zhu Huan must have something to hide, but he couldn't say it for some reason. He said: "General Zhu can say anything, we are all serving the Lord, there is no need hide."

"Oh," Zhu Huan sighed, "General Zhou, I want to talk to you alone."

Zhou Yu gave Zhou Tai a look, and Zhou Tai left knowingly. At this time, there was no one around, only Zhou Yu and Zhu Huan were left. The surrounding soldiers were far away from them, so they couldn't hear the conversation between them.
