Chapter 22
Above the Red Cliff, the flames of war raged in the sky, reflecting the entire night sky into red clouds and dyeing the entire Yangtze River like red electricity.

One after another, the warships that were tightly bound by iron chains and were reluctant to part with each other devoured one after another, brothers and sisters.

Millions of Cao Jun soldiers were wiped out amidst the chatter and laughter of the two.

"Congratulations to the governor, the camp was set on fire, and the thief Cao was defeated!" Lu Su raised his wine glass and congratulated Zhou Yu.

However, upon hearing this praise, Zhou Yu, who was originally smiling, suddenly frowned.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Ding Feng and Xu Sheng, is there any news?"

Hearing this, Lu Su was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the governor of Zhou had just finished defeating Cao Cao, and he was already thinking about killing Zhuge Liang.

Although surprised in his heart, Lu Su is also a top adviser after all, he quickly adjusted himself, faced Zhou Yu's question, and calmly replied: "I have sent Ding Feng and Xu Sheng to Nanping Mountain according to the command of the governor. If all goes well with the raid, we will return today."

Hearing that Lu Su hesitated a little on the word "sweeping thieves", Zhou Yu raised his head, looked at him, and then said, "Zijing, I understand what you are thinking. I also know that you and Zhuge Liang His elder brother is a close friend.

However, Zhuge Liang is cunning by nature after all, if he is allowed to work for Liu Bei, it must be a serious problem for our Jiangdong confidantes.For the sake of the lord's hegemony, we have no choice but to get rid of him. "

Hearing this, Lu Su heaved a long sigh, drank the glass of wine in one gulp, nodded, and said nothing more.

The two fell into a brief silence. After a while, Lu Su took the initiative to speak and asked, "But the governor, how did you know that Zhuge Liang would choose to cast spells on Nanping Mountain?"

Zhou Yu smiled, pointed to the direction of Nanping Mountain in the west with the feather fan in his hand, and explained: "Hehe. Although Zhuge Liang is cunning, he also has weaknesses.

I asked him to help our army with the help of the east wind. In order for the coalition army to defeat the Cao thief successfully, he will definitely do his best to use his gossip magic to reverse the time.

However, although his eight trigrams magic technique can control elements and control all things, when it comes to the use of a single element, it is far inferior to my karmic fire. Forcibly controlling the wind direction, it will inevitably consume a lot of energy.

In order to reduce this consumption, he could only choose places with high mountains and strong winds, and set up arrays to cast spells.And on this Red Cliff, apart from Nanping Mountain, where else can he borrow strength? "

After saying this, Zhou Yu put down his feather fan, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and finally said: "So, after I know that he will cast spells on Nanping Mountain, I will let you send Na Ding Feng and Xu Sheng, He led three thousand elite soldiers to Nanping Mountain.

As long as he is exhausted after using the magic eight trigrams technique, he will be killed in one fell swoop without any effort. "

After hearing this, Lu Su couldn't help but clasped his hands and praised: "The governor is really clever, and Zhuge Liang will definitely be able to catch it."

However, just as Lu Su finished speaking, a messenger rushed into the tent.

"Governor, something is wrong! General Ding and General Xu went to Nanping Mountain to kill Zhuge Liang, but they met Zhao Yun from Liu Bei's army. General Ding and General Xu fought with Zhao Yun for [-] rounds before returning to the camp. Now, all of them are seriously injured!"

"Ah?" Hearing this, Lu Su suddenly stood up with an expression of disbelief.

Then, he turned his head cautiously and looked at Zhou Yu who was still holding his wine glass, as if he was about to continue drinking.

"Humph!"

The smile on Zhou Yu's face instantly turned into embarrassment. He sneered, threw the wine glass on the table, and held his forehead with his hands.

After a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "This little thief Zhuge is so vicious, he doesn't care about the alliance between our Sun and Liu families! Our army just sent troops to Nanping Mountain to suppress the bandits, but they sent Zhao Yun to ambush our General Ding and Xu General! If you don't avenge this revenge, how can you be worthy of my Jiangdong disciples!"

As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, another messenger broke into the camp.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, according to your instructions, I sent the clever plan you wrote to Liu Bei's army. After Liu Bei saw it, he really hit the trick, and immediately sent his third brother, Zhang Fei, to lead [-] elite soldiers. Go to the gourd mouth.

Afterwards, we waited outside the camp for a while, and saw Guan Yu leading the two of them to Huarong Road! "

Hearing this, Zhou Yu stood up suddenly, so fast that even the wine glass on the table next to him was knocked over.

"Hahahaha! This Liu Bei is as stupid as the rumors! This destiny is really in my Jiangdong!" He said with a big laugh.

Hearing this, Lu Su couldn't help being curious. After thinking for a while, he asked carefully, "Governor, what kind of tricks are you writing here? Why did Liu Bei write his ten-thousand-person The enemy's second brother Zhang Fei and third brother Guan Yu have both been sent away?"

"Hehe. Zijing, you have to listen to my plan." Zhou Yu smiled, sat down again, and replied calmly, "Where do you think Cao Cao will go when he defeats Chibi and flees to the west?" way?"

Hearing Zhou Yu's question, Lu Su shook his head cooperatively, and said, "I'm ignorant, but I roughly guess that if Cao Cao wants to return to Jiangling, the only place where he can go is Wulin. He should go there."

"Yes, that's right, the first step of Cao Cao's retreat is to go to Wulin first." Zhou Yu said, "And I have already sent Lu Meng, Gan Ning, and Ling Tong to ambush in Wulin."

After a pause, before Lu Su could continue to compliment, Zhou Yu waved his hand and stopped him: "However, I also know that even if Cao Cao is defeated, there are still capable men and strangers in his army, such as Lu Meng, Gan Ning, etc. It may be difficult for the three of them, Ling Tong and Ling Tong, to kill him.

So, my real strategy is in the back. "

"Also ask the governor to give pointers."

"Think about it, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, and he is well versed in the principles of the art of war. He has just been ambushed by Wulin, and he will not dare to take the main road. I am afraid that he will only choose the small roads of Hulukou and Huarong Road. Let's go. At this time, if Liu Bei sends troops to ambush at these two places, he will surely behead Cao Cao!"

"And this is the ambush strategy I offered to Liu Bei! Just imagine, as the emperor's uncle, what Liu Bei hates most is the country's traitors like Cao Cao. Hearing my strategy, how could he miss this opportunity? ? Therefore, he will definitely send all the elites to go to Hulukou and Huarong Road to ambush!"

Having said that, Zhou Yu looked at the stunned Lu Su, smiled, and refilled glasses of wine for both of them.

"In this way, there will no longer be Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, the two ten thousand enemies in Liu Bei's army. Counting Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang who are in Nanping Mountain, Liu Bei's army at this time has no advisers and fierce generals. Insert the label and sell the first!"

"Next, as long as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu kill Cao Cao, and I take Liu Bei down, I can take advantage of the situation to take Jingshu west and go north to the Central Plains!"

"This Cao thief, Liu Bei, is out of justice and has no help. It really is God who blesses me in Jiangdong!"

Let's rewind the time to not so long ago.

Liu Bei received the trick bag sent by Zhou Yu at that time, and opened it immediately.

After reading Zhou Yu's ambush plan, he was overjoyed.

"Great, with Gongjin's plan, we will surely kill Cao Cao, a national traitor, and revive the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Bei laughed and said,
"Yide, Yunchang, you set off immediately, each with [-] elite soldiers, and set up an ambush at Hulukou and Huarong Road, and kill Cao Cao in one fell swoop!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei hardly hesitated, immediately received the military order, and set off with [-] elite soldiers.

Only Guan Yu stood there motionless.

Seeing this, Liu Bei was stunned.

After thinking for a while, he sighed: "Yun Chang, I know that Cao Cao has treated you kindly, and I also know that he has treated me kindly. But, after all, he is a traitor who coerced the emperor to make the princes, so he has to be eliminated. .”

When Guan Yu heard the words, he didn't refute, but just silently lowered his head.

After a long while, he shook his head and said, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to kill Cao Cao. It's just that the military adviser told me before leaving that Cao Cao must go to Wulin first, then go to Hulukou and Huarong Road.

And at that time, if Zhou Yu and the others send people to let us ambush at Hulukou and Huarong Road, then we only need to let Yide go alone, and I must stay here to protect you from being attacked by that Zhou Yu. "

However, when Liu Bei heard this, an angry expression appeared on his face: "Yun Chang, if you don't want to go, I won't force you. Why do you make up these words to lie to me? Jiangdongjun is our brother. We just repelled the Cao thief with us, how could they harm me?"

After speaking, he let out a long sigh, sat down dejectedly, and said, "If you don't want to go, that's fine, it's just a pity."

"Brother!" Hearing this, Guan Yu was anxious. He had countless things to say, but he stopped after seeing Liu Bei's expression.

After thinking for a while, Guan Yu closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. Then, he gritted his teeth and opened his eyes.

"Since this is the case, the second brother is willing to go to that Huarong Road in person and offer the head of Cao Cao. It's just that the [-] soldiers and horses are unnecessary, as long as Guan Ping and Guan Suo follow me."

Hearing this, Liu Bei immediately stood up and wanted to say something.

However, before he could speak, Guan Yu took the Qinglong Yanyue Saber and walked out of the camp without looking back.

After calling his two sons, he galloped away.

At this point, only Liu Bei was left in the tent.

In front of the blazing fire, Liu Bei let out a long sigh and held up the boiled wine.

At this moment, before his eyes, what emerged was the scene of him and Cao Cao discussing heroes over wine ten years ago.

"Meng De, everyone in the world says that you are a capable minister in governing the world, and a traitor in troubled times."

"I know you want to be a capable minister, but it's a pity that you and I were born in this troubled world."

"Forget it. I hope you can be a capable minister in the next life."

After saying that, Liu Bei sprinkled the wine on the ground, and the aroma of the wine overflowed, and there seemed to be the smell of green plums in it.

 Please come to some living person to remind the author and tell him "you are not in a stand-alone", okay?
