Chapter 45: Cao Cao folds his troops at Sanjiangkou, and Jiang Qian's plan

However, Zhou Yu heard Zhuge Jin's words and hated Kong Ming, and wanted to murder him. The next day, he ordered Qi generals and turned to Sun Quan. Quan said, "You will go first, and I will raise an army to follow the next." Yu resigned and led his troops with Cheng Pu and Lu Su to lead the troops, and invited Kong Ming to live with him. Kong Ming happily followed him. He boarded the boat together, drove the sails, and walked towards Xiakou. Fifty or sixty miles away from the Sanjiangkou, the boats were settled one after another. Zhou Yu set foot in the center, and camped on the shore along the west mountain, and lived around him. Kong Ming only settled in a small boat.

Zhou Yu's allocation was settled, and he sent someone to ask Kong Ming to discuss matters. Kong Ming went to the central army's tent and finished the ceremony. Yu said, "In the past, Cao Cao had few soldiers and Yuan Shao had many soldiers. Cao defeated Shao because he used Xu You's plan to cut off the grain of Wuchao first. Now Cao Cao's soldiers are 830,000, and my soldiers are only 50,000 or 60,000. How can he resist it? He must first cut off the grain of Cao Cao before it can be broken. I have already found out that Cao's military food and grass were all stationed in Jutieshan. Mr. has been living in the Han Dynasty for a long time and is familiar with geography. He dared to bother Mr. Guan, Zhang, Zilong, and I also helped thousands of soldiers to cut off the grain of Cao in Jutieshan at night.

They are each responsible for their master's affairs, so please do not push the tune." Kong Ming thought to himself: "This is because I said that I don't move, and the design hurts me. If I push the tune, I will be laughed at. It is better to respond to it and have other suggestions." So he happily accepted the promise. Yu was overjoyed. Kong Ming said to Yu, "What is the opinion of the minister Kong Ming robbing food?" Yu said: "I want to kill Kong Ming, for fear of making people laugh, so I used Cao Cao's hand to kill him to prevent future troubles." When Su heard this, he went to see Kong Ming, but he saw that he knew but not. He only saw that Kong Ming had no difficulty.

The army and horses were about to go on. Su couldn't bear it, so he raised it with words, "Can you succeed in your journey?" Kong Ming smiled and said, "I fight in the water, in the air, in the air, in the horse, and in the chariots. I have their own merits. Why worry about not being able to achieve success? It's not just as good as the Duke of Jiangdong and Zhou Lang." Su said, "What is my ability with Gongjin?" Kong Ming said, "I heard rumors from a child in Jiangnan that say, "The road is in the road, and there is a Zhou Lang in the river. "The Duke is equal to the land, but he can't control the road; Zhou Gongjin is only able to fight in the water, but he can't fight in the land."

Su then told Zhou Yu with this statement. Yu said angrily, "Why can't you bully me to fight in the land? Don't need him! I led a 10,000 horse army to Jutieshan to cut off the food route: "Su told Kong Ming again that this statement was told, "Gongjin ordered me to cut off food, but he actually wanted Cao Cao to kill me. Therefore, I joked with a few words, so Gongjin couldn't accommodate him. Now when I use people, I only hope that the Marquis of Wu and Liu's envoys can achieve success; if each of them conspires to murder, the big things will be over. Cao thieves are too resourceful, and he has been accustomed to cutting people in his life.

How can we not prepare for the food road? If Gongjin leaves, he will be captured. Now we should only take the water battle first, which will dampen the spirit of the northern army, and find a clever plan to defeat him. I hope that my son will speak well to tell Gongjin. "Lu Su then returned to Zhou Yu overnight and said to Kong Ming's words. Yu shook his head and said, "This person has seen ten times better than me. If he does not eliminate him now, he will cause disaster to our country in the future!" Su said, "When you use people now, I hope the country will be the most important thing. Let's wait until after you defeat Cao, it will be too late to plan." Yu said, "When you use people, you should put the country first. Let's wait for Cao to be defeated, and it will be too late to plan." Yu said.

However, Xuande sent Liu Qi to guard Jiangxia and led his generals to Xiakou. Looking at the south bank of the river, the flags were faintly hidden, and the swords were heavy. It was estimated that the Eastern Wu had already moved troops, so he moved all the soldiers from Jiangxia to Fankou. Xuande gathered together and said, "When Kongming left Dongwu, there was no news, and he didn't know what the matter was. Who can go to find out the rewards of Xu and Real?" Mi Zhu said, "Zhu is willing to go." Xuande prepared gifts of sheep and wine, and ordered Mi Zhu to go to Dongwu to find out the truth in the name of rewarding the army. Zhu took the order and drove a small boat downstream and went straight to Zhou Yu's big village. The soldiers came to report to Zhou Yu, and Yu summoned him in. Zhu bowed again, and expressed his respect to Xuande and offered a wine ceremony. Yu received it and set up

The banquet was held at Mi Zhu. Zhu said, "Kong Ming has been here for a long time, and now he is willing to return with him." Yu said, "Kong Ming is planning to defeat Cao with me, how can he go? I also want to see Liu Yuzhou and discuss good plans together. But I am in charge of the army and cannot leave temporarily. If Yuzhou is willing to come in vain, please comfort me. "Zhu Yingnu, and then return." Su asked Yu, "What are the plans to see Xuande?" Yu said, "The heroes of Xuande in the world must be eliminated. I am taking the opportunity to lure him to kill him, which is actually a disaster for the country to eliminate future troubles." Lu Su advised him repeatedly, but Yu just refused to listen, so he passed the secret order: "If Xuande arrives, first ambush fifty knives and axemen in the wall clothes, and see that I threw a cup as a trumpet.

Then he took action." But Mi Zhu returned to Xuande, and said that Zhou Yu wanted to ask his lord to meet him, and there was another discussion. Xuande taught him to pack up a fastboat, and now he went. Yun Chang advised, "Zhou Yu is a resourceful man, and there is no letter from Kong Ming. I am afraid that there is a deception in it, so I should not leave lightly." Xuan De said, "I am now in the Eastern Wu to defeat Cao Cao together. Zhou Lang wants to see me, but if I don't go, it is not an alliance. The two are suspicious, and things will be inconsistent." Yun Chang said, "If my brother is determined to go, I am willing to go together." Zhang Fei said, "I will go too." Xuan De said, "I will follow me. Yide and Zilong guard the village. Jian Yong guarded E County. I will go back."

After the distribution, he went on a small boat with Yun Chang, and more than 20 followers went to Jiangdong. Xuande watched Jiangdong's warships, flags, armor and soldiers, and were arranged neatly on the left and right, and was very happy. The soldiers flew to Zhou Yu: "Liu Yuzhou is here." Yu asked, "How many ships are brought?" The soldiers replied, "There is only one ship, and more than 20 followers." Yu laughed and said, "This person's life is integrated!" He ordered the swordsman to ambush first, and then went out to greet him. Xuande led Yun Chang and other more than 20 people until the central army tent. After the ceremony, Yu asked Xuande to sit on him. Xuande said, "The general's reputation is spread to the world, and he is not talented. Why bother the general to pay more tribute?" So he sat down with the host and the host.

Zhou Yu held a banquet to treat him.

When Kong Ming came to the riverside occasionally, he heard that Xuande came here to meet the governor, he was shocked and rushed into the central army's tent to see the movement. He saw Zhou Yu's murderous aura, and there was a secret line of swords and axes in the wall robes on both sides. Kong Ming was shocked and said, "What do you think?" He looked back at Xuande and chatted and laughed calmly. However, he saw someone behind Xuande, standing with a sword, which was the long cloud. Kong Ming was happy and said, "My lord is in danger." So he did not enter again, and turned back to the river to wait.

Zhou Yu and Xuande had a banquet, and had a few rounds of wine. Yu got up and put the cup. He suddenly saw Yun pressing his sword and standing behind Xuande's back. He hurriedly asked who. Xuande said, "My brother Guan Yunchang." Yu was shocked and said, "Isn't it that he killed Yan Liang to the sun, Wen Chou?" Xuande said, "That's it." Yu was shocked and sweated all over his back, so he poured wine and put the cup with Yunchang. After a while, Lu Su entered. Xuande said, "Where is Kongming? I'll invite you to come for a while." Yu said, "Let's wait until Cao Cao is broken and meet Kongming yet."

"Xuande didn't dare to say anything again. Yun Chang looked at Xuande with his eyes. Xuande understood and immediately stood up and said, "I'm going to say goodbye for a while. After defeating the enemy and completing his merits, I should bow and congratulate you." Yu did not stay and sent him out of the gate. Xuande left Zhou Yu and came to the riverside with Yun Chang and others. He saw Kong Ming was already in the boat. Xuande was very happy. Kongming said, "Do you know the danger today?" Xuande was stunned and said, "I don't know." Kongming said, "If there is no Yun Chang, you will be harmed by Zhou Lang."

Xuande had just realized it and asked Kong Ming to return to Fankou. Kong Ming said, "Although Liang lives in the mouth of Tiger, it is as safe as Mount Tai. Now the lord is packing up his ships, military horses and waiting for it. It will take the 20th day of November, and you can ask Zilong to drive a small boat to the south bank to wait. Don't make any mistakes." Xuande asked his intentions. Kong Ming said, "Just see the wind in the southeast, Liang will definitely return." When Xuande wanted to ask again, Kongming urged Xuande to start the ship quickly.

After saying that, he returned. Xuande and Yunchang and the others drove the boat for a few miles. Suddenly, they saw the upper head put down fifty or sixty boats. A general on the bow of the boat stood with a spear, which was Zhang Fei. Because he was afraid that Xuande would be in trouble, Yunchang could not support him, he came to take him back. So the three of them returned to the village together, which was no problem.

However, Zhou Yu sent Xuande and returned to the camp. Lu Su entered and asked, "Why didn't you do it?" Yu said, "Guan Yunchang is a tiger general in the world. He is sitting with Xuandexing. If I do, he will come to harm me." Su was stunned. Su suddenly reported that Cao Cao sent an envoy to send a letter to him. Yu called him in. When the envoy presented the letter to read, the cover said, "The Prime Minister of Han was sent to the governor Zhou to open the demolition." Yu was furious and refused to read it. He tore the book to pieces, threw it underground, and beheaded the envoy. Su said, "The two countries are fighting each other, but the envoy will not behead him. Yu said, "Behead the envoy to demonstrate!" So he killed the envoy and returned to the person. He ordered Gan Ning to be the vanguard, Han Dang to be the left wing, and Jiang Qin to be the right wing. Yu led the generals to take him. The next day, he made meals at the fourth day, and the ship was opened at the fifth day, and the drums and shouted.

However, Cao Cao knew that Zhou Yu destroyed the book and killed the envoy, and was furious, so he called Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and other groups of surrendered generals in Jingzhou to the front. Cao was the rear army and urged the warships to reach the mouth of Sanjiang. He saw the ships of Eastern Wu and came from the river. The generals led by the leader sat on the bow and shouted, "I am Gan Ning! Who dares to come to fight me?" Cai Mao ordered his younger brother Cai Li to advance. The two ships were approaching, and Gan Ning picked up a bow and arrow, and watched Cai Li shoot, and fell down according to the string. Ning drove the ship forward, and ten thousand crossbows were launched at the same time. Cao's army could not resist. Jiang Qin on the right and Han Dang on the left rushed straight into Cao's army. Most of the Cao army was Qing and Xu's troops, and they were not familiar with water battles. On the surface of the river, the warships were swayed, and they had long stood up and did not pray to Gan Ning and other three warships across the water. Zhou Yu urged the ship to help the battle. There were countless people who were caught in the Cao army, from Si to Wei.

Although Zhou Yu was profitable, he was afraid that he would be outnumbered, so he ordered the gold to be summoned and the ship was collected.

Cao's army was defeated and returned. Cao climbed the Han camp, and then reorganized the soldiers and called Cai Mao. Zhang Yun blamed him and said, "The soldiers in the Eastern Wu were defeated by others. You are not careful!" Cai Mao said, "The Jingzhou naval army has not been trained for a long time; Qing and Xu's army have never been used to water wars, so you have suffered defeat.

Now we should set up a water camp first, and the Qing and Xu troops are in the middle, and Jingzhou troops are outside. We can teach them every day. "Cao said, "Since you are the governor of the navy, you can do it cheaply, why should you report to me!" So Zhang and Cai went to train the navy. The area along the river was divided into twenty-four water gates, with large ships living outside as city walls, and small boats living inside, which can lead to the way. When the lights were on the late, the water surface of the sky was red. The dry village was more than 300 miles away, and the fireworks were endless.

But Zhou Yu returned to the village to reward the three armies, and sent someone to Wuhou to report the victory. That night, Yu climbed up to watch and saw the firelight in the west facing the sky. He said to him, "This is all the light of the northern army." Yu was also shocked. The next day, Yu wanted to visit the Cao army's water camp in person, so he ordered a tower boat to pack up, take Gudong, and several generals, each with strong bows and crossbows, and boarded the boat and advanced forward together. When he arrived at the Cao village, Yu ordered to get off the rocks, and the drums and music on the tower boat were played together. Yu looked at his water camp inwardly and was shocked and said, "This is the wonder of the navy!"

Asked, "Who is the governor of the navy?" The left and right said, "Cai Mao, Chong Yun." Yu said, "The two of them have lived in Jiangdong for a long time and are familiar with water wars. I must design to eliminate these two people first, and then they can break Cao." While I was peeking, Cao's army had already reported Cao Cao, saying, "Zhou Yu peeked at my village." Cao ordered the boat to capture him. Seeing the flag in the water village, Yu quickly put away the rocks, and the oars and paddlings were rotated around and looked at the river as if flying. When the boat in the Cao village left, Zhou Yu's tower ship was more than ten miles away, and he could not catch up with him, and he would repay Cao Cao.

Cao asked the generals, "I lost a while ago, and I was frustrated. Now he was deeply involved in my camp. What should I do to destroy it?" Before he finished speaking, a person from the tent came out and said, "I have been in a relationship with Zhou Lang since I was a child. I hope to go to Jiangdong to surrender." Cao Cao was overjoyed and looked at him. He was from Jiujiang, with his surname Jiang, his name was Gan, and his courtesy name was Ziyi. He is now a guest under the tent. Cao Cao asked, "Is Ziyi and Zhou Gongjin good-for-all?" Gan said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister. Gan must succeed when he reaches Jiangzuo." Cao asked, "What should I do?"

Gan said, "One child can only go with you, two servants drive the boat, and the rest will not be used." Cao was very happy and put wine to see Jiang Gan off.

Gangut, robes, and a small boat, drove a way to Zhou Yu's village and sent a message to him: "The old friend Jiang Gan visited him." Zhou Yu was discussing affairs in the tent. When he heard Gan arrived, he laughed and said to the generals, "The lobbyist has arrived!" So he said to the generals with his ears and said, "This is how he said, "The lobbyist is here!" He then said to the generals with his ears and said, "That's what happened. Everyone left according to his orders. Yu tidied up his clothes and hats, and led hundreds of followers, all of whom were brocade clothes and flower hats, and they came out from front and back. Jiang Gan led a young boy in green and came with a high spirit.

Yu bowed and welcomed him. Gan said, "Gongjin is fine!" Yu said, "Ziyi is good and bad: I am far away from the rivers and lakes, and I am a lobbyist for Cao?"

Gan was stunned and said, "I have been away for a long time. I came to reminisce about the past, but why do you suspect that I am a lobbyist?" Yu laughed and said, "Although I am not as smart as Shi Kuang, I know the elegance when I hear the string song." Gan said, "I'll wait for my old friend to do this, so please leave." Yu smiled and put his arm on his face and said, "I'm just afraid that my brother will be a lobbyist for Cao. Since I don't have this intention, why should I leave quickly?" So he entered the tent together.

After the ceremony was finished, he sat down and ordered all the people to summon Jiangzuo Yingjie and Ziyi to meet. After a while, the civil servants and generals were wearing brocade clothes. The subordinate generals under the tent were all wearing silver armor: they entered in two rows. After the Yu taught them, they were arranged to sit on the two sides. The banquet was held, and the music of victory in the army was played in rotation, and the wine was carried. Yu told the officials, "This is my classmate and friend. Although I came here from Jiangbei, I was not a lobbyist of the Cao family. Don't doubt it." Then he put his sword on his shoulder and said to Taishici, "You can wear my sword to supervise wine: Today is the banquet, but talk about friendship. If anyone mentions Cao Cao and the Eastern Wu army, he will behead him!" Taishici responded and sat on the table with his sword. Jiang Gan was shocked and dared not say much. Zhou Yu

He said, "Since I led the army, I have no doubts. Today I see my old friend, so I should drink it. I should drink it." After that, he laughed and drank. He drank. He drank half-video, and Yu took Gan's hand and walked out of the tent. The soldiers on both sides were all wearing habitual belts, holding swords and holding halberds and stood. Yu said, "Is my soldiers quite majestic?" Gan said, "Is it a true bear and tiger?" Yu led Gan to the tent and looked at it, and the food piles were piled up like a mountain. Yu said, "Is my food and grass quite sufficient?" Gan said, "Is my food and grass sufficient?" Gan said, "Is it worthy of the military and enough food?" Gan said, "It's not an exaggeration to think that Zhou Yu and Ziyi were studying together."

Yu held Gan's hand and said, "A real man will meet a close friend's master. He will trust the righteousness of the monarch and his subjects outside, and the kindness of the flesh and blood inside. He will do what he said and follow the plan. He will share good fortune and good fortune. If Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Lu Jia, and Li Sheng come back, his mouth is like a hanging river and his tongue is like a sharp blade, how can he touch my heart!" After saying that, he laughed loudly. Jiang Gan's face was like earth.

Yu brought Gan into the tent again and met the generals to drink again. He pointed to the generals and said, "These are all heroes in Jiangdong. Today, this meeting can be called a gathering of heroes." He drank until the evening, lit a candle, and Yu danced his own sword and sang. The song said, "My husband is in the world and establishes fame; he is in the life of his life. I will be drunk; I will be drunk and chant wildly!" After a break, the seat was filled with laughter.

Late at night, Gan Ci said, "I can't bear the power of drinking." Yu ordered the seat to withdraw, and the generals left. Yu said, "I haven't been on the same bed with Ziyi for a long time, so I'll sleep tonight." So he pretended to be drunk and took Gan into the tent to sleep. Yu and his clothes were lying down, vomiting and messing around. How could Jiang Gan sleep? When he was lying on his pillow, the drum in the army beat the second update, and he got up and looked at the broken lamp. When he looked at Zhou Yu, his nose was as bright as thunder. Gan saw a volume of documents piled up on the table in the tent, so he got up and looked at it secretly, but it was all about letters. There were inside.

A letter read "Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are serious about the title." Gan was shocked and read it secretly. The book briefly said: "I surrendered to Cao, not to seek official positions, but because of the power. Now I have earned the Northern Army and trapped in the village, but I am about to take advantage of it. I am about to take the lead of the thief and offer it to my command. I will report it sooner or later. Fortunately, don't doubt it. I will be respectful." Gan Si said: "It turns out that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have joined the Eastern Wu!" So he hid the book in his clothes. When he wanted to check his book again, Zhou Yu turned over on the bed, and Gan quickly turned off the lamp and went to bed. Yu's mouth

He said vaguely, "Ziyi, within a few days, I will teach you how to see the leader of the thief!" Gan reluctantly responded. Yu said, "Ziyi, stay here!...... I will teach you how to see the leader of the thief!..." When Gan asked, Yu fell asleep again. Gan leaned on the bed, and it was almost four o'clock, but someone came into the tent and called, "Did the governor wake up?" Zhou Yu was suddenly awake in his dream, so he asked the man, "Who is asleep on the bed?" He replied, "The governor asked Ziyi to sleep with him, why did he forget?" Yu regretted and said, "I'm calm."

I haven't drunkenly yet. I was drunk yesterday and was injured. I wonder if I had said anything?" The man said, "Someone in Jiangbei has come here." Yu shouted, "Why don't you say!" and called, "Ziyi." Jiang Gan just made a move and fell asleep. Yu sneaked out of the tent. Gan eavesdropped on it. He only heard someone outside said, "Zhang, the second governor of Cai said, "I am eager to start,..." The words behind him were quite low, and he couldn't hear it. After a while, Yu entered the tent and called, "Ziyi." Jiang Gan just refused and covered his head and pretended to sleep. Yu also took off his clothes and went to bed.

Gan Xunxiong thought: "Zhou Yu is a meticulous person. If you don't see the book at dawn, you will definitely harm me." Sleeping until the fifth day of the morning, Ding started to call Zhou Yu; Yu fell asleep. Ding put on a towel, sneaked out of the tent, called the little boy, and went straight out of the gate. The soldier asked, "Where is the sir?" Gan said, "I am afraid that I will miss the governor here, so I will say goodbye." The soldier did not stop him. Ding off the boat and flew back to see Cao Cao. Cao asked, "What is Ziyi doing?" Gan said, "Zhou Yu is elegant and magnanimous, and it cannot be moved by words." Cao said angrily, "It's not good for the matter, but I laughed at it!" Gan said, "Although I can't talk about Zhou Yu, I asked the Prime Minister for something. I begged to retreat."

Gan took out the letter and told Cao Cao one by one. Cao was furious and said, "The two thieves are so rude!" Even after calling Cai Mao, Zhang Yun came to the tent. Cao said, "I want you to advance two people." Mao said, "The army has not been mastered yet, so we should not advance lightly." Cao said, "If the army is mastered, my head will be presented to Zhou Lang!" Cai and Zhang did not know the intention, and they were panicked and could not answer. Cao drank the warrior and rushed him out and beheaded him. After a moment, Cao Sheng understood the head under the tent. Cao was in a tent and said, "I have been trapped!" Later generations sighed and said, "Cao Cao's treacherous heroes cannot be taken, and he was trapped in Zhou Lang for a moment. Cai Zhang sold his master to seek a living, but who expected that he would die in the sword!" When the generals saw that Zhang and Cai and Cai came in to ask why. Although Cao knew that he was trapped, he refused to admit his mistake. So he said to the generals, "The two of them were negligent in the military law, so I beheaded him." Everyone sighed.

Cao selected Mao Jie from all the generals, and Yu Jin was the governor of the navy to replace the positions of Cai and Zhang. He made detailed investigations and reported to Jiangdong. Zhou Yu was overjoyed and said, "These two of my patients are now eliminated, and I have no worries." Su said, "The governor used such troops, why worry about the thieves of Cao not breaking it!" Yu said, "I don't think that the generals knew this plan, but Zhuge Liang knew that he was better than me, and I thought that this plan could not be hidden. Zi Jing tried to pick it with words, and he saw that he knew it but didn't know it, so he would be rewarded."
Chapter completed!
