Chapter 1877： : Zhou Yu

"Xiahou Dun is responsible for the military scouts, Zhong De is in charge of meticulous work, and he is in charge of investigating Jiang Xia's situation in detail, without the slightest slack." Cao Cao said.

"Here." The two said in unison. Whether it is Xiahoudun or Cheng Yu, they are people whom Cao Cao trusts very much. Only people trusted by the monarch can have access to such things as intelligence. Otherwise, it would be easy to leak information, Cao Cao. Leading soldiers in combat for many years, naturally will not make mistakes in this area.

"Cao Ren, you are supposed to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to pioneer the army, attack Yundu, Nanxin, and Anlu, and open the way for the army."

"Here." Cao Ren said.

After the orders were given, the Cao Jun gathered in Xiangyang began their journey.

After the crowd had dispersed, Cao Cao left some important advisers such as Cheng Yu and Xun You behind, and Sima Yi was among them.

Although it was the first time to experience this kind of occasion, Sima Yi stood behind the crowd with a respectful look and did not dare to transgress in the slightest. This performance caused many counsellors in the army to nod secretly, as can be seen from what Sima Yi said today. Sima Yi is a talented person, and it is extremely rare for a talented young man to be so humble.

"Sit down, everyone," Cao Cao said.

The generals in the army are the basis for Cao Cao to win on the battlefield, and the role of counsellors is also huge. A good strategy will play a huge role in the process of fighting the enemy. There is no doubt about this.

"Zhong Da first talk about your strategy." Cao Cao said with a smile.

Sima Yi said, "Prime Minister, Jiangdong has changed hands now, and Zhou Yu is someone Sun Ce trusts, and Zhou Yu has 50,000 soldiers in Jiangxia to resist our army. How can Sun Quan be relieved?"

A question made many counsellors immediately understand what Sima Yi wanted to do, but as Sima Yi said, Jiangdong’s master was not as important as Sun Ce at this time, and he certainly did not pay as much attention to Zhou Yu as Sun Ce.

"Lord, Zhong Da's words are very true. Now that Jiangdong experienced turmoil soon, although Zhou Yu was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, Sun Quan did not trust Zhou Yu. Otherwise, why should Lu Su go to the army? It is clearly to divide the power in Zhou Yu's hands. That's it." Cheng Yu said, he who is in charge of controlling the situation, his understanding of Jiangdong's situation is not comparable to that of ordinary counselors.

Cao Cao showed a pensive expression on his face, and immediately laughed: "Zhou Yu has been in charge of the Jiangdong Army for many years and has great prestige in the army. What if Sun Quan sends people to the army?"

Many counsellors showed incomprehension. Zhou Yu had a high prestige in the Jiangdong army, and it was easier to control the army. Such things are definitely not good news for Cao Jun.

Sima Yi's eyes lit up, and his gaze towards Cao Cao was somewhat different. His time with Cao Cao was short, and he still had a lot of ignorance about Cao Cao's behavior. Now after hearing what Cao Cao said, It recognized Cao Cao's strategic excellence.

Seeing everyone's doubts, Cao Cao didn't mean to explain at all.

Jiangxia’s prefecture was in Xiling. In order to break Jiangxia, the Jiangdong Army made a lot of effort. Since Sun Ce took over Jiangdong, he has never given up the idea of ​​attacking Jingzhou. If you want to occupy Jingzhou, you must do things. It is to take control of Jiang Xia, and only after controlling Jiang Xia, the Jiangdong Army can continuously go to Jingzhou.

After occupying Jiangxia, it was the beginning of the Jiangdong army's rampage in Jingzhou. After Sun Ce led the army to capture Jiangxia, Jiangdong was full of joy, and after the capture of Jiangxia, the place that should be captured most should be Jiangling. If Jiangling can be firmly controlled in his hands , When facing the Jingzhou Army, there are more chances of winning. Jiangling connects with Bashu. After occupying Jiangling, it means that the Jiangdong Army has a chance to attack Bashu. If Jiangling and Jiangxia are connected together, it can block Cao Jun. Influence among the four counties of southern Jing.

However, Jiangling is now in the hands of Cao Jun, and the strength that Cao Jun has shown on the battlefield is so powerful that Jiangdong Army dare not take it lightly, especially on the battlefield of Wuling County, Jiangdong Army has suffered a lot from Cao Jun’s hands. Sun Ce was injured on the battlefield.

What worries Zhou Yu the most is the monarch in the rear. Whether he supports him or not, otherwise it will be very dangerous for a general to fight outside. The trust of the monarch is vital to the generals in the army.

Zhou Yu has a high prestige in the Jiangdong Army. This is Zhou Yu’s advantage and Zhou Yu’s disadvantage. If Sun Quan is jealous because of this, Zhou Yu’s situation will inevitably fall into danger. If the monarch does not trust him, Zhou Yu wants to be on the battlefield. It becomes even more difficult to achieve victory.

After Lu Su arrived, Zhou Yu felt Sun Quan’s fear for him. Zhou Yu didn’t have too many accidents when these things happened The same thing will be the same when it is applied to other monarchs. Jiangdong’s most elite force is in his hands.

Zhou Yu was able to understand Sun Quan's thoughts. After all, Sun Quan was not long in charge of Jiangdong, and he has too much influence in the army, which is bound to make Sun Quan feel uneasy.

Zhou Yu was extremely enthusiastic about Lu Su’s arrival, and did not despise Lu Su because of his youth. Lu Su was a talent promoted after Sun Quan took over Jiangdong. In the past, Lu Su has indeed demonstrated Zhou Yu admired Zhou Yu's extraordinary side.

Zhou Yu was relieved that after Lu Su arrived in the military, he didn't have too many doubts about his decision, and some of the suggestions were very pertinent, which made Zhou Yu even more valued for Lu Su.

"Zi Jing, now Cao Cao has ordered Cao Ren to come to Jiang Xia as the vanguard of the army, and Cao Jun has been dispatched in the most recent time." Zhou Yu said.

"The governor, Cao Jun is elite. There are many elites in his army, especially the heavy cavalry under Cao Ren. They are extremely elite. If they can't overcome it, Jiang Xia will inevitably shake. Among the three counties of Jingnan controlled by the lord, he secretly showed his good to Cao Cao. There are not a few families." Lu Su said.

Zhou Yu nodded slightly. He naturally knew these things. When Sun Ce led the army to attack Jingnan County, it can be seen from the performance of these counties that they supported Cao Cao the most. Although it took a lot of effort, Sun Ce The three counties of Jingnan will still be pacified. Similarly, the pacification of Jingnan counties plays a vital role in Jiangdong's rule in Jingzhou. As long as Jiangxia's army can stop Cao's attack, it will inevitably stabilize Jingzhou.

After the Cao Jun began to fight, Zhou Yu ordered Changsha defender Jiang Qin to lead five thousand soldiers and horses into Wuling County, posing a threat to Cao Jun.
