Chapter 213 Chibi Prelude
Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Zhou Yu suddenly laughed.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid that you don't care about the countless people in Jiangdong, but what you really care about is the interests of your aristocratic clans!"
After hearing this, Zhang Zhao's face changed drastically, "Hmph, you're not good at making plans!"
After saying that, he left with a slightest sleeve.
...
After Sun Quan decided to protest against Cao, Zhou Yu stepped up training day and night.
On the other hand, Cao's army is also stepping up training the navy.
The two sides of the Yangtze River were calm for a while, as if a huge storm was brewing about to break out.
A month later, Cao's navy finally came out and was about to lead his troops south.
After Zhou Yu received the information from the front, he immediately held a military meeting. He knew that if he wanted to defeat Cao Cao, he had to make trouble on the water.
Zhou Yu has the talent of a general. He analyzed in detail how to fight this battle now.
Even veterans such as Huang Gai, Cheng Pu nodded repeatedly after hearing Zhou Yu's arrangement.
Finally, Zhou Yu carried out a pre-war mobilization.
"I don't believe how much combat effectiveness the naval army that Cao Cao has trained has. I only believe that I am Jiangdong and the wolf is the overlord of the water."
His words were very leader-like, and young generals such as Lu Menglingtong were excited when they listened to them.
Compared with the excitement of these young generals, Han Dang, Huang Gai Cheng Pu and others on the side were a little unhappy.
This time, Zhou Yu's pre-war arrangements mainly appointed his confidants, and these veterans were not valued by him.
Although his previous arrangements were very strategic and incompatible with military tactics, he still had to intoxicate these veterans.
After the military meeting, the veterans gathered together.
It is precisely because I am not satisfied with the current situation and have gathered together and prepared to complain.
Everyone was drinking while complaining, and the scale of the topic became bigger and bigger.
From the rumors in Jiangdong to Zhou Yu himself.
Huang Gai felt that everyone had said something too much, so he said, "Everyone should put the overall situation first. After all, he is our Grand Commander and the commander of the Battle of Chibi this time."
When Cheng Pu suddenly stopped listening to this.
"Grandmaster? Zhou Lang is just a stinky boy. He was able to reach this point today because of his affection for his love with his former lord!"
With Cheng Pu taking the lead in blowing up the thorns, Zu Mao became popular, "That's right, when we followed General Sun Jian to conquer the world, Zhou Yu didn't know where he was!"
"Now he sees this, he doesn't take us old guys seriously at all. In a few years, I'm afraid there will be no seats in the coalition."
As the topic was talked about, it came to the rumors in Jiangdong some time ago.
Regarding the matter of Zhou Yu's desire to establish Sun Ce's son Sun Zhao as the lord of Jiangdong.
"I think the rumors are fake, but Zhou Yu wants to be the Lord of Jiangdong, but it is true!" Cheng Pu shouted excitedly.
As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone was stunned.
Although many people think this way, it is a different nature to really say it.
Seeing the strange atmosphere, Cheng Pu couldn't help but feel that the sentence just now seemed to be a little inappropriate.
But what you say is like splashed out of water, and there is no reason to take it back.
So, Cheng Pu continued with his neck tightened and said:
"I'm right!"
"You guys think that Mr. Sun Zhao is young now. If he is asked to be the lord of Jiangdong, then Jiangdong will not be equivalent to becoming a puppet. Isn't Jiangdong the world of Zhou Yu?"
"Hey, I've said everything I should say today. If I continue, I'm afraid something will really happen. Let's disperse you!" Huang Gai shouted loudly.
So, everyone dispersed like this.
In the next few days, they all adjusted their troops and prepared for war, but there was no trouble.
...
On the other hand, there was a military meeting held in the Cao army camp, and Cao Peng sat on the main seat.
Although his position as the leader is envious, no one dares to question his ability.
On the one hand, Cao Peng is really capable.
Whether it was the eastern expedition to Xuzhou and pacify Lu Bu, the north to pacify Yuan Shao, defeat Liaodong and destroy Wuhuan, Cao Peng maintained an important position in these major battles.
On the other hand, those who oppose Cao Peng have a bad ending.
The last encounter between Cao Ren and Xiahou brothers, because they were with Cao Peng, everyone saw it.
Just like every war before, Cao Peng was an important figure.
This time, the same is true for the expedition to Jiangdong.
But General Cao Peng, who had been moving forward before, seemed very cautious this time.
He seemed to be full of fear for Jiangdong on the side of the Yangtze River.
However, Cao Peng's vigilance made everyone disapprove.
Cao Hong, Xu Huang and other generals did not take Jiangdong seriously. They looked down on Jiangdong in their words.
Because Cao Peng's military conferences have always been advocated and speaks freely, everyone dares to say whatever they think of.
"After capturing Jiangdong, the Jiangnan women there heard that they are as gorgeous as water, so we must enjoy it."
"Good guy, now you are thinking about what happened after the war. You guy is really not serious!"
The noise and laughter of the crowd gradually made the topic go off the ground.
They actually discussed what happened after the war, and it seemed that in their eyes, it was like taking Jiangdong in their pockets.
Cao Peng frowned. How could he be invincible when the general was so proud and complacent?
Although Liu Bei is now deposed, how can he underestimate Zhou Yu and Lu Su in Jiangdong?
This time, he was fighting on the other side's territory again, and Cao's army did not have a geographical advantage.
If we talk about military generals, although Cao's army has many soldiers and a wide range of generals, wouldn't it be easy for Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dangzumao and others in Jiangdong?
When Cao Peng was about to speak and pour cold water on everyone, he snatched him up.
"Everyone, I'm blunt, although we have trained the navy to fight against Jiangdong on the river surface, there will still be some gap."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone couldn't help but look over, who is the general who is talking?
I saw this man, who was more than eight feet tall, had a half-open collar, a naked chest, and a pair of huge steel knives around his waist.
It was the navy general appointed by Cao Peng, Gan Ning.
This Gan Ning was the commander of the navy appointed by Cao Peng himself. The 100,000 navy troops drawn from Jingzhou were all under the command of Gan Ning.
There are also 100,000 naval troops, which are in the hands of Cai Mao, but according to Cao Peng's arrangement, Cai Mao is mainly responsible for the security of Cao Cao's central army this time.
In other words, if Gan Ning played well here, Cai Mao would have become a substitute who could not play.
After Cao Peng's resolution was issued, Gan Ning was so grateful to Cao Peng that he regarded Cao Peng as his biological father.
Cai Mao was completely the opposite. He kept slandering Cao Peng's resolution in private, and then licked his face and came to Cao Peng to get close.
