Chapter 219 Provoking Zhou Yu
Seeing Cao Peng walking into the cabin, everyone immediately looked at her.
"Cao Peng, the Prime Minister is here now. You keep driving the boat to Jiangdong. Could it be that you are trying to murder the Prime Minister?" Cao Hong shouted.
Cao Cao frowned immediately, "Shut up!"
He simply wanted to kick Cao Hong. If Cao Peng was really mean, it would be even more dangerous if he said this.
After Cao Hong shut up, Cao Cao looked at Cao Peng and said, "Anmin, why are we here now?"
Cao Peng smiled and said, "Of course it's for the 100,000 arrows! Why did my uncle even forget this?"
Cao Cao's face darkened, "Then I asked you to retreat immediately just now, why did you ignore it?"
Cao Peng still smiled faintly, "Because I know my uncle must have misunderstood me. I want to prove to you that I can not only get 100,000 arrows, but also kill Zhou Yu's spirit!"
Just as Cao Cao was still thinking about what Cao Peng wanted to do, a scream suddenly came from outside.
"General, we are only one stone away from Sanjiangkou."
After hearing the soldier's report, everyone was shocked. If the other party came to kill at such a close distance, wouldn't they be finished?
"Where is Gan Ning, ask him to come and see me!" Cao Peng said.
After a while, Gan Ning entered the cabin and said to Cao Peng: "General, everything is ready, and all the scarecrows are fixed."
Cao Peng smiled faintly, "Very good, slowly move forward slowly, and then beat the war drum as I planned before!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he felt sweat on his forehead.
Originally, there was heavy fog blocking, and maybe the enemy would not have been discovered. However, Cao Peng actually asked everyone to beat the war drum. Isn’t this intentional provocation?
Cao Cao even had some doubts at this time whether Cao Peng didn't want to live anymore and wanted to drag him into the water.
"Anmin, you..." Cao Cao stopped talking.
At this time, Cao Peng said, "Uncle, don't be impatient. Am I here to accompany you? Don't worry, I have my own sense."
Cao Cao had to sit down again, and he had to take the courage to see what kind of good show Cao Peng was going to make.
...
In the distance of Zhou Yu's military camp.
Zhou Yu also received a report from the front-line sentry, saying that countless warships with Cao's flags suddenly appeared on the surface of the river.
Zhou Yu immediately climbed the city tower and saw countless warships waving in surprise in the thick fog.
"Good guy, is this Cao Cao bullying me, Jiangdong, no one!"
"I'm really underestimating me!" Zhou Yu said angrily.
But although Zhou Yu was angry, he was not a reckless person.
He knew that such a big thing would have to be held to discuss it, so the generals came to his tent.
Sun Quan also came.
Sun Quan came to the front line a few days ago to inspect Zhou Yu's training troops. He didn't want to be a lord sitting at home.
In order to break free from Zhou Yu's shackles as soon as possible, he must understand some military affairs.
However, I didn't expect that at this critical moment, Cao's army actually led his army to attack.
Sun Quan naturally didn't want to miss this good show, so he wanted to see how Zhou Yu would deal with it.
Zhou Yu immediately let everyone enter the tent to discuss matters.
Because Sun Quan was there, Sun Quan sat in the main seat, and Zhou Yu followed.
Veterans such as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Gan Ning were on one side, while the young generals who led Zhou Tai were on the other side.
Everyone began to express their opinions on the sudden attack of Cao's army.
"Our detailed work in Jingzhou City did find out that the Cao army's navy had just completed training, but they didn't expect that they would dare to take the initiative."
"What are you afraid of? If they dare to come, we dare to fight. Let them know whose world is the Yangtze River?"
Those who advocated rushing out immediately were the new generals from Jiangdong, including Zhou Yu, who actually wanted to rush out.
The old-school general was a little calm and steady, such as Huang Gai said: "We have fought with the thief Cao before, and he is not a reckless man!"
"The fog outside is too thick now, so we might as well stop moving first."
Young generals were not interested in such words because they were eager to make contributions.
At this moment, he suddenly broke into the army and led his troops to report to the Cao army outside, and suddenly the drums sounded loudly.
Lu Meng slapped the table angrily, "Listen, the Grand Commander, everyone has already bullied me. It seems that he is really bullying me, no one in Jiangdong. I can't swallow this. I will be willing to lead a army to fight Cao Cao."
Zhou Yu frowned and said sternly: "Okay, then I will let your three thousand navy troops fight!"
At this time, Lu Su, who came with Sun Quan, spoke out and stopped him: "Grandmaster, please think twice before you act."
"Have you ever thought about why Cao Cao dared to send generals to come at this time? She is the most cautious person. If she has no absolute chance of winning, it is not his strength to grasp this kind of tactic of opening up and closing!"
After hearing this, Sun Quan nodded deeply. He suffered a lot in the hands of this Cao thief, so he was very afraid now.
"That's right, Gongjin, you have to be careful!"
Sun Quan spoke, so Zhou Yu naturally needed to weigh it again.
If he insists on leading his troops deeper, he will eventually fail and the crime will be a bit serious.
"What the lord said is very true. He was the last general just now, and he was a little anxious."
Lu Su, who was standing beside him, said again, "Gongjin, the lesson of the last failure has been profound enough. This time we cannot underestimate the enemy."
Zhou Yu nodded, not intending to continue to be stubborn, "What Zi Jing said is indeed some truth, but what is the reason why we don't attack when they hit the doorstep."
Lu Su said: "Maybe, we can fire arrows from the water village to test the reality of the fog."
After hearing this suggestion, Zhou Yu thought it was quite reasonable, so he nodded in agreement.
After all, there is now fog outside, and if you attack rashly, you can easily fall into ambush. This is indeed a factor that should be considered.
"Okay, then I'll send an order to all the crossbowmen, bend their bows and arrows, and shoot him!"
"No!" Lu Meng had no choice but to take the order and leave.
Lu Meng was wearing armor and took a scimitar to the water camp.
He is Zhou Yu's confidant and is quite famous in the army.
When a group of soldiers and generals saw that he was in the water camp, they all bowed their heads and bent down.
"General!"
Lu Meng nodded, then pulled out the knife around his waist and pointed forward.
"Seeing that there was no warship in front, let all the crossbowmen come up and shoot me!"
"Here!"
The soldiers in the water village agreed quickly.
Countless crossbowmen immediately got on the water camp and aimed at Cao's warship.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Accompanied by Lu Meng, he gave an order.
