After hearing the sergeant's report, Zhou Yu and the others were immediately overjoyed, and even Zhou Yu couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect Lord Lu Su to lead the soldiers and horses at the right time." ”After speaking, Zhou Yu said to Ling Tong and Lu Meng beside him: "Ling Tong, Lu Meng, the governor of Pontus orders the two of you to immediately go down and arrange a warship, go to meet Lord Lu Su and the soldiers of our army, cross the river safely, and there must be no mistakes." ”After Zhou Yu gave the order, Ling Tong and Lu Meng bowed to Zhou Yu at the same time: "Please rest assured, the two of us will do our best to handle this matter, and there will be absolutely no mistakes." ”After the two finished speaking, Zhou Yu nodded at the two, and the two immediately went down, walked out of the camp tent, and went to the river to start mobilizing naval warships.Zhou Yu had always been looking forward to those Zhao troops leading soldiers and horses across the river to fight, but Zhou Yu couldn't help but be a little worried, these Zhao troops came too early.Although Zhou Yu was confident that he could block the attack of the Zhao army with the strength in his hands at the moment, if he could get the assistance of the soldiers and horses of Lusu in Jiangxia County, Zhou Yu would have a better chance of winning for himself.Not to mention Lu Su's own intelligence, he can solve many problems for Zhou Yu, and the few generals who came with Lu Su can be alone in this war, and they will also fight for more chances of victory in this war.With Ling Tong and Lu Meng, they led the warship to the riverside to respond, and half a day later, everyone returned.After hearing the news that the soldiers came to report, Zhou Yu personally led the men and horses, walked out of the camp tent, and went to the riverside to greet them, which can be regarded as Zhou Yu's expectation for these Wu soldiers.After a shabby relationship between the two sides, Zhou Yu led everyone back directly to the camp, and the news that Lu Su led the soldiers and horses to come has spread in the camp.In this regard, the generals of the two countries of Shu and Wei also came to visit.After all, Wu Zhong, in addition to Zhou Yu, Lu Su's status is not small, and he can even be said to be Zhou Yu's left and right deputies.And the people of Shu and Wei are also under the fence this time, so they will also come to meet Lu Su with reason.After all the politeness, Lu Su bowed to Zhou Yu in public and said, "Governor, after Lu Su received the secret letter instruction from the governor, he immediately began to make arrangements.This time, Lu Su came, bringing a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, as well as many generals of my Wu State, hoping to help the governor, defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop, and return the prestige of my Wu State. ”Immediately, Zhou Yu excitedly shot the case and said to Lu Su: "Okay, Lord Lu Su has a heart, this time with these soldiers and horses brought by the adults, we will definitely be able to defeat the Zhao army." ”As Zhou Yu's voice lagged behind, Lu Su suddenly changed to a serious expression, and said to Zhou Yu is hand: "Governor, can Lu Su have the courage to listen to the governor's plan first, in Lu Su's opinion, although he brought a lot of soldiers and horses this time."
However, the combined strength of our Wei, Shu and Wu armies may not be able to compare the number of the Zhao army, and if there is no suitable strategy, it will be difficult to defeat the Zhao army head-on. ”But as soon as Lu Su's voice fell, all the generals and ministers present looked at Zhou Yu, and seemed to be looking forward to Zhou Yu's strategy.In the face of everyone's curiosity, Zhou Yu only showed a faint smile, and then said: "Before, when Lord Lu Su came, Zhou Yu had personally led the soldiers and horses to investigate the Zhao army's water camp.Zhou Yu found that the Zhao army's sailors this time were all decadent, and they were simply vulnerable to Zhou Yu.Especially the warships of the Zhao army, some of them know that they are not as good as the fishing boats of our Wu Kingdom, if Zhao Yu plans to use this kind of warship to fight us, Zhou Yu will definitely bury them all in this river in one fell swoop. ”"Oh, I've been waiting for a long time, isn't the Zhao army in the water army, why is this the case" After Lu Su listened to Zhou Yu's words, the whole person was very surprised, in Lu Su's opinion, Zhao Jun is very powerful, but why is it so bad this time.However, Lu Su also heard what Zhou Yu said just now, and this time it was Zhou Yu who personally led the soldiers and horses to investigate the news of Zhao Jun.If Zhou Yu said it in person, then the possibility must be very real, so Lu Su didn't question it much, but was just a little curious.Zhou Yu said without hesitation: "I'm afraid that only Zhao Yu himself knows, in Zhou Yu's guess, the reason why Zhao Yu released this kind of news at the beginning was actually to confuse our Wu Kingdom."
At that time, Zhao Yu was bent on sending troops to attack Wei and then Shu, but he was afraid that we would attack the navy and attack his Zhao state.Therefore, he released the news that Zhao has a powerful naval army, which can compete with my Wu State.And when Zhou Yu accompanied His Majesty to Xuzhou to talk with Zhao Yu before, he did see that among the Zhao army, there was an extremely large and mighty building ship. ”But this time, no matter how Zhou Yu looked, he didn't see the building ship.In Zhou Yu's opinion, presumably the building ship was just a water boat used by Zhao Yu to tour the mountains and rivers, and it was not used for conquest at all, so Zhao Yu did not mobilize the building ship this time.Otherwise, with Zhao Yu's mind, he would definitely not lead those crippled sailors to come and fight against my Wu State navy. ”Lu Su said again: "Although there are many soldiers and horses in the Zhao army, most of them are from the north, and most of the people in the north are not accustomed to water.When I came here before, I also found out that among Zhao Jun, there were many people who were seasick, and some even fell ill because of this.At that time, if the people of the Zhao army come on these warships, I am afraid that they will only be killed by us at that time. ”Immediately, Zhou Yu said lightly: "Well, this point is indeed a fatal injury to Zhao Jun.Perhaps it was because some people in the Zhao army were sick and sick, so Zhao Yu kept letting the soldiers under his command rest.It's just that there is one thing that makes Zhou Yu a little headache, this time Zhou Yu originally planned to use fire to attack and burn all the troops of the Zhao army to death.However, above the river, the ability to attack with fire is very effective, and I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve. ”And just when Zhou Yu was a little distressed, Sima Yi, who suddenly saw a scene, stood up and said to Zhou Yu in public: "Governor Zhou, is it planning to give a fire, accelerate the killing of a large area or reduce the soldiers and horses of the Zhao army, if the governor intends to do so, then Sima Yi has a plan, you can try it, maybe you can trap all the Zhao troops in one fell swoop." ”As soon as Sima Yi's voice fell, Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he turned his gaze to Sima Yi on the side, and immediately showed a trace of excited joy, and said to Sima Yi: "Prime Minister Sima, what is the best plan, you might as well say it bluntly." ”Immediately, Sima Yi began to express his own words on the spot: "In fact, not only the soldiers and horses of the Zhao army, there are many people who are not suitable for water warfare, in fact, even among our Wei and Shu countries, there are some soldiers who will have symptoms of seasickness.Sima Yi had been thinking about this issue before, after all, in the near future, we, the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu would start a big battle with the Zhao army on this river.If the time comes, our soldiers, due to seasickness, will lead to a decrease in physical strength and combat power, which will not be able to exert their strong strength, engage the Zhao army, and even drag down the entire army. ”So Sima Yi thought about it and thought of a way, that is, to prepare some warships in the future.These warships were used to ride those seasick soldiers, but in order to prevent these soldiers from getting seasick, these warships were all tied together with iron chains.At that time, these warships, front and back, left and right, their hulls were stable, and the soldiers walked on them as if they were flat, which thought that the possibility of seasickness was reduced. ”Zhou Yu listened and casually praised: "Wonderful, really wonderful, I really didn't expect Prime Minister Sima Cheng to come up with such a way."
It's just that Zhou Yu is a little curious, this time I am thinking, what is the best way to burn all those Zhao troops on this river with one fire, so that they will not return.And Prime Minister Sima Cheng's strategy of stabilizing the hull, although it has a good effect on the soldiers of Shu and Wei, but this only increases the combat power of our will, but it does not have much effect on killing the Zhao army. ”Hearing Zhou Yu's question, Sima Yi immediately smiled and said: "Back to the governor, if Sima Yi was coming up with this method before, it was aimed at our seasick soldiers in Shu and Wei.This time, when facing the headache of the governor, Sima Yi's method of interlocking the hull was used by the Zhao army. ”Sima Yi's words had already filled Zhou Yu with curiosity, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "What does Prime Minister Sima mean" Sima Yi said word by word: "Sima Yi means to inform Zhao Jun of the method of this chain warship, and let Zhao Yu order all warships to be locked up with iron chains, and then lure the Zhao army to launch a large army and come to attack." ”After listening to Sima Yi's words, Ling Tong on the side immediately pointed at Sima Yi angrily and said, "Sima Yi, what do you mean by this, you actually told Zhao Jun the method you had finally come up with."
Don't you want to watch those Zhao Jun perform to overcome seasickness, and then improve their combat power and kill our three armies" Looking at Ling Tong's angry appearance, Zhou Yu hurriedly persuaded him: "Ling Tong must not be angry, Prime Minister Sima Cheng has such a practice, there must be his intentions, let's listen to Prime Minister Sima Cheng's explanation." ”Zhou Yu seemed to be persuading Ling Tong, but in fact, he was facing everyone and wanted to hear Sima Yi's explanation.If Sima Yi can't explain it, or if the explanation is not good, then Sima Yi will undoubtedly shoot himself in the foot this time.However, in Zhou Yu's opinion, no matter how arrogant and ambitious Sima Yi was, he didn't dare to show it in public like this.Especially Sima Yi, as the prime minister of Shu, has no brains and wisdom, how can he be able to sit in this position.Therefore, Zhou Yu believes that if Sima Yi actually said this method this time, there must be a reason for him
