Since the Cao army was stationed in the camp, there has been no big news, and it seems that there is no intention to send troops again in a short period of time.

"Wow." The wooden pulp was sinking into the water and paddled the water surface, pushing a small boat slowly across the river. On the boat was a man wearing a straw raincoat, and there were some fishing gear next to him, looking like a passing fisherman.

I just don’t know if there is any fisherman so bold that he dares to come nearby to catch fish when the two armies are fighting. The distance is Cao’s camp, and the boat is not too close. The fisherman on the boat looks at Cao’s camp from afar by the river.

There were not even a few soldiers guarding the camp in Cao's camp, and they all looked unintentional and had a low morale.

A soldier from Cao's army seemed to see him on his side.

The fisherman withdrew his gaze and picked up a fishing net beside him to pretend that he wanted to get off the net.

The soldier walked away under the camp wall as if he was not ready to care about him.

After breathing a sigh of relief, the fisherman's eyes continued to look around Cao's camp.

After a while, he saw a team of soldiers walking out of the side of the camp, covering their mouths and noses, and pulling a cart behind them, with a linen on the cart covering them, and it was impossible to tell what was inside.

It was not until the soldiers walked to a closed open space that they stopped and lifted the linen on the car, revealing the things on the car. The fisherman shook his hands and saw that there were a pile of corpses and soldiers' armor on the car.

The soldiers put the bodies and armor on the open space, and then burned them away with a fire.

The burning black smoke rose by the river. The fisherman lowered his head, took back the fishing net that had just been scattered, and left the river and lined up to the distance.

"That's what you see?"

Sitting at the table was a man in his thirties. He was handsome but had no feminine spirit. He looked sharp under his neat eyebrows. He wore a set of iron armor, supported his chin with one hand, and listened to the inquirer with interest.

If Gu Nan had definitely recognized him here, although the two had not seen each other for many years, Zhou Yu had not changed much this time.

The person Zhou Yu reported to him was the fisherman fishing in the river.

"Yes, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes."

"Yes." Zhou Yu let go of his chin and waved his palm: "You go down."

"yes!"

When he stepped down, Zhou Yu sat silently, lowered his eyes and looked at the pen in his hand. He should be thinking about what he had reported to him just now.

The morale of the army was sluggish and he had no intention of fighting. There were also teams burning corpses and armor in the open space. In recent days, we often saw fire smoke rising in Cao's camp across the river (actually, that was cooking medicine).

It seems that the plague in Cao's army is still there, and it is getting heavier and heavier.

Most of Cao Cao's troops were not good at water battles, and the Jingzhou navy under his command was not well-done and difficult to deploy. Now this plague is added.

"Bang." Zhou Yu pressed the pen in his hand on the table and raised the corner of his mouth.

"There is a chance of winning this battle."

But then he was a little bit of doubt at the moment, and he still had a place he was not sure about.

"Governor." Zhou Yu's thoughts were interrupted, and a soldier walked in first.

"Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang asked for a meeting."

"Oh?" When Zhou Yu's expression moved when he heard the soldiers' words, Liu Bei's military advisor was also very interested. On the way back, he had already heard Zi Jing say more than once about his conversations about the various scholars.

But he was not there at the time, otherwise he would have watched a good show.

Moreover, Zhuge Kongming had a great reputation among famous scholars before he came out of the mountain.

Mr. Wolong...

Zhou Yu said to the soldier thoughtfully: "Please come in."

When Zhuge Liang walked into the camp, he met Zhou Yu's gaze. The two looked at each other a few times.

"Zhuge Liang has seen the governor." Zhuge Liang said first, holding his feather fan and bowing.

"Mr. Kongming is so polite." Zhou Yu smiled and raised his hand, saying to a prepared table: "Please sit down."

"Thank you Governor."

When Zhuge Liang took his seat, Zhou Yu continued to say: "I heard about Zhuge Wolong's name a few days ago. I was fortunate to see him today."

"The governor was joking, a commoner, he was not worthy of the governor's concern."

Zhuge Liang shirked away from the name Zhou Yu had cast, stopped saying these polite words, and instead brought up serious matters.

"Liang came here today and wanted to ask the governor for advice."

If you are not arrogant by your reputation, your demeanor is far superior to those famous and mediocre celebrities who are not good at doing nothing.

Zhou Yu nodded secretly, and his attitude towards Zhuge Liang became much better.

"Sir, please say it, I dare not say it, but it is okay to discuss it with you."

"Then Liang said frankly."

Zhuge Liang held the feather fan and placed it in front of him.

"Now Cao Cao's army is on his side, I don't know how the governor sees the victory or defeat of this battle."

After hearing Zhuge Liang mention Cao Jun, Zhou Yu's eyes changed slightly when he looked at him, then he laughed and said.

"Cao's army led 200,000 troops to attack. Although the land in Jiangdong is dangerous, it is not that easy to defend Cao Cao. However, we are not without any chance of winning."

As he said that, Zhou Yu slowly raised his three fingers.

"First, of these 200,000 troops were cavalrymen, who came from the north without water, were not adapted to the land, and had lost combat power.

Secondly, the Jingzhou naval army has newly entered Cao Cao's tent and is difficult to dispatch, so it has many frictions with Cao Cao's troops. When the first battle was first seen, it was obvious that Cao Cao's troops were extremely inconvenient to dispatch them."

Third, Cao's army is now rampant with plague and morale is sluggish. I feel that I can take advantage of the situation."

"In this way, the chance of winning should be between 5 and 5." Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang with his eyes.

"Even so, Cao Cao still has 200,000 troops in his hand, and it is still not easy to defeat Cao's army."

"And I have an old friend who is still in Cao's camp. He is probably better than me in terms of vision and strategy. When he fights with him, it is difficult for me to know the outcome."

Although there was a army of 200,000, Zhou Yu was chatting and laughing from beginning to end.

Until he mentioned this old friend, some sighs and helplessness appeared in his eyes.

Zhuge Liang paused at Zhou Yu's appearance, and nodded.

"I also have an old friend who works in Cao's camp, but at this time, it's not the same as before."

Zhou Yu was stunned and sighed with a smile. Indeed, it was no longer the past.

He looked at Zhuge Liang again and asked, "Mr. Kongming, my chances of winning have been finished. Why not talk about Mr. Kongming's chances of winning?"

In fact, Zhou Yu already had his own answer in his heart. What he asked was just testing Zhuge Liang's ideas.

Zhuge Liang understood this point and was not dissatisfied. He said lightly holding his feather fan.

"Since ancient times, using troops to defeat the more with less is nothing more than a method of cutting off food to attack the heart, water, fire, earth and stone. And the chances of winning this battle are..."

He paused for a moment and said to Zhou Yu's gaze last year.

"When it's fire attack."

Both of them smiled faintly when they looked at each other.

What they thought was a coincidence.

But Zhou Yu continued to ask: "Mr. Kong Ming, Cao Cao's camp is more than ten miles along the river, how can we burn it all in one fire?"

This is also his doubt. He has not thought of a countermeasure yet.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand, stood up and walked to the camp gate, lifted the curtain and looked at the river water in the distance outside.

"Can the Governor know that water is in the fire?"

······

Wulin where Cao Cao's camp is located is located on the west side of Chibi. At the same time, the river bank there is a notch, and the river flows inward at the front end. As long as you can get close to the front end of Cao's camp and ignite that piece of river water, the fire will spread to the entire Cao's army camp. As for how to ignite the river water, it is naturally impossible to ignite the water, but what if it is tincture?

When Zhuge Liang left, Zhou Yu sat alone in the tent, squinting his eyes.

"A fire on water."

It is really a strange strategy. To implement this plan, someone must lead a ship deep into Cao's camp, which requires a false surrender.

The plague in Cao's camp was rampant. If someone surrendered to him from Jiangdong at this time, he would have been overjoyed.

Late at night, Zhou Yu's tent was still lit.

Instead of falling asleep, he wrote a letter on the table.

This is the passage in the letter.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have come to Jiangdong too? In the current situation, I want you to invite you to drink, you can't come. Haha, the scenery of Jiangdong is as old as before, but it's a pity that people cannot be as old as before.

But, when you said that your ambition was not among the princes, I wondered where your ambition was. You just pointed to the box behind you and said, "It's inside." My brother is stupid and I can't guess where your ambition is. If you have the chance, I really hope you can answer it for me.

After my brother left, although I was in Jiangdong, I had heard a lot of news about my brother. I helped Cao Cao take over Qingzhou, rush his army to the north, and pacify the Central Plains in one fell swoop. I think these are all the works of my brother. To be a joke, if there is no brother, how could Cao Cao come from? If you come to Jiangdong, why should Jiangdong be afraid of Cao Cao?

······”

Until he wrote the last word and put down the pen in his hand, Zhou Yu looked at the letter in front of him and sighed softly.

"It's ridiculous that this should have been a letter to an old friend."
