Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 551 Killing Three Birds With One Stone

After Zhou Yu saw the battle report in his hand, the joy on his face could no longer be concealed!

"Okay! Old General Huang! After the victory in this battle, you will be the first one. Once Cao Jun's food and grass are cut off, they will be a bunch of mobs! That's great!"

A few days ago, Huang Gai blocked Cao Jun's only grain road, and Cao Jun's grain transportation was completely cut off. This is undoubtedly the best news for Zhou Yu and the others recently!

And depending on the time, Lu Meng should be seeing Sun Quan soon, and the reinforcements sent by Sun Quan will arrive sooner or later, and Cao Jun will be defeated sooner or later!

Although Zhou Yu was taught a lesson by Cao Su in Chibi and lost a lot of troops, but as long as he can make up for it this time, then Zhou Yu will still be the governor of Jiangdong!

At this moment, Huang Gai cupped his hands and said to him:
"Captain, according to the results of the investigation sent by the General, Cao Cao's army has already begun to move to the northwest, and it should arrive in Nanjun in a short time!"

Zhou Yu nodded, the complacency on his face subsided, and he said lightly:
"So we must go to their front right now, and we can't let them step into the territory of Nanjun, otherwise it will be too late. What does Liu Bei say?"

Huang Gai said:

"After Guan Yu let Cao Cao go, he went back to report. Presumably there should be a result soon, and there is no sign of sending troops!"

Zhou Yu sneered after hearing this, "Kong Ming wants to fish in troubled waters, but I won't let him do so. This time Cao's army will definitely be defeated, and there is no need for them at all. After Cao's army is wiped out, I will see what he will use to fight for Jingzhou!"

They are all smart people, Zhou Yu naturally knows Zhuge Liang's purpose!

As soon as Cao Jun withdrew, all of the two of them were staring at the piece of fat in Jingzhou. At this time, as long as they could meet Sun Quan's large army, they would not only be able to destroy Cao Jun, but also deter Zhuge Liang who was about to move!

At that time, won't it be a matter of course to settle in Jingzhou?

The corner of Zhou Yu's mouth raised a slight smile. His trick of killing two birds with one stone can be described as perfect!
Even if Zhuge Liang was really aware of it, there was nothing he could do to stop it, because it was a conspiracy in itself!
Can Zhuge Liang stop them from destroying Cao Jun?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu ordered again!
"All the generals listen to the order! Advance westward at full speed, and Cao Jun cannot reach Nanjun!"

"Yes!"

After hearing this, many soldiers ordered immediately!

But just as he was about to leave, Huang Gai suddenly gave Zhou Yu a strange message!
"Captain, when the last general was investigating Cao Jun, he didn't seem to see Cao Su, and he didn't know his whereabouts!"

"Ok?"

Zhou Yu was slightly taken aback, then frowned, "Didn't you see Cao Su?"

Huang Gai nodded, "Yes, maybe it's because the people are too cluttered to see clearly, but it's true that we didn't see Cao Su's figure!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu pondered for a while, thinking about something!
"This time should be the critical period for Cao's army to withdraw. Cao Su should not leave. Why is he not in the army? General Huang, do you know how many Cao's troops there are?"

Huang Gai quickly replied, "Probably around [-] people!"

Zhou Yu nodded, and Xingye galloped over to support. It is not suitable to have many people, and ten thousand cavalry is enough!

It looks like Cao Su didn't send anyone out!
I didn't think too much for a while, just said:
"Observe Cao Jun's movements at all times, and report to me. Once Cao Su mobilizes a large number of troops and horses, there is any change, and report to me immediately!"

"As ordered!"

……

the other side!
Jiang Xia!

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were waiting in the barracks. The former was already pacing back and forth in the room, looking anxious!

But Zhuge Liang did place soldiers in the room very calmly!
At this time Liu Bei waved his hand, "Come here!"

"Yes! What is your command, my lord?"

A soldier stepped forward and asked.

Liu Bei immediately asked:

"Is there any news from Huarong Road?"

"Report to the lord! No news has come yet!"

Liu Bei's expression sank, he waved and said:
"Understood, let's go!"

As soon as the soldier left, Zhuge Liang asked lightly:
"Is my lord worried about Guan Yu or Cao Cao?"

Liu Bei sighed helplessly, "Naturally, beware of Yun Chang. Both Yide and Zilong have returned to the barracks, but my second brother has no news. It is said that Cao Cao fled to Huarong Road. My second brother is so affectionate and righteous. A military order has been issued, but I'm still a little worried!"

Zhuge Liang smiled lightly and said:

"My lord, when I sent Guan Yu to guard Huarong Road, I already reminded you that Cao Cao can't die, so I think General Guan has no face to come back to see you now. What we have to do now is to change how we compete with Jiangdong." The land of Jingzhou!"

Liu Bei frowned slightly, "Why did you say that?"

Zhuge Liang put down what he was doing, waved his feather fan and said as he walked:

"My lord, think about it. After Cao Cao came out of Huarong Road, he would definitely return to Nanjun and wait for the army to withdraw. But would Zhou Yu give up such an opportunity?"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "Of course not. If I were him, I would definitely cut off Cao Jun's food supply, prevent Cao Jun from withdrawing, and give Cao Jun a fatal blow!"

"My lord is right, but... it's not just that..."

Zhuge Liang nodded, but turned to talk.

"Oh?" Liu Bei was taken aback.

Zhuge Liang continued:

"Zhou Yu will definitely not give up such an opportunity, so he will definitely send someone to contact Sun Quan and suggest that he send troops to help. As long as Sun Quan sends troops, Cao Jun will have nowhere to escape, and there will be no food. Cao Jun can almost win without a fight! !"

"However, with Zhou Yu's heart, he will never be satisfied with this great victory. There is another deep-seated reason why he asked Sun Quan for help!"

"What do you want?" Liu Bei had a bad feeling!
Zhuge Liang said lightly:

"He wants to plot against Jingzhou!"

After the words fell, Liu Bei was slightly startled, and his pupils gradually shrank!

Zhuge Liang continued to explain, "When Cao's army was defeated due to the food problem, people would naturally join them, especially Cao's army who belonged to the Jingzhou soldiers, and they would definitely belong to Zhou Yu. After Jingzhou, they will continue to maintain an alliance with us for a short time, but they will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, saying that we let Cao Cao go, so as to label us as having an affair with Cao Cao, and then destroy us!"

"So Zhou Yu's plan is killing three birds with one stone!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei's heart sank!
These reasons analyzed by Zhuge Liang are too real!

He naturally knew that Jiangdong's alliance with him was to protect himself against Cao. Once Cao's army was no longer threatened, the strength of one of them would be greatly increased, and the alliance would inevitably be disintegrated!
At that time, he, Liu Bei, might not even be able to keep Jiangxia's territory...
