Sun Quan wanted the Jiangdong nobles to return to their homes, and he also wanted Zhou Yu and other veterans to obey. Of course, Sun Quan also wanted to seize Jingzhou's territory, at least a part of it, to glorify the reputation of his classmate Sun Quan.

The night has gradually fallen, but the rain in the sky has not reduced even a little bit. It seems that there is a god in the sky, spreading his sorrow everywhere, or splashing bodily fluids.

There is already a lot of water in Jiangxia City. Most of the soldiers in the city are gathered on slightly higher ground. The area near the south of the city and facing the river is designated for the wounded soldiers. It is not because they need to take care of the wounded soldiers, but

It's just that if the wounded soldiers can't survive, the corpses are easier to deal with.

Although Cao Cao and Sun Quan were still in a stalemate and assuming a tough stance, there had not yet been a large-scale decisive battle. Only occasionally when the rain eased a little, there were one or two attacks on Jiangxia.

It's more like an attack than maintaining a habit.

The blood-soaked land above and below the city's walls turned red again under the water of the rain, like a pot of boiled red rice porridge.

The head-on confrontation between Zhou Yu and Cao Cao, a scene in which both sides were exhausted, still remains in the hearts of the soldiers on both sides, and when they think about it even a little, they feel terrified.

Facing Zhou Yu, Sun Quan could only swallow his dissatisfaction and let Zhou Yu fix it. However, his heart was still full of dissatisfaction with Zhou Yu, just like an adolescent child facing his elders.

It's all good, I said I understand, I understand, but when I turned around, I curled my lips and cursed secretly.

Naturally, Sun Quan didn't want to fight Cao Cao to the last man, so Sun Quan had to think of some ways...

Unfortunately, this method was guessed right by Zhou Yu.

"May I ask my lord, where did Zhou Youping go?" Zhou Yu blocked Sun Quan who was trying to make an excuse to escape, and stared at Sun Quan and asked.

Sun Quan said haha, "Ah ha, I sent him back to Jiangdong... I still have something to do..." After saying this, he turned around and went down to the city gate tower.

Zhou Yu took a step sideways and stood in front of Sun Quan. He raised his hands and said in a deep voice, "My lord, you want to surprise Cao's camp and cut off his food route?"

Sun Quan's movements suddenly froze, as if he were rusty. After a few breaths, he recovered again. He forced out a smile and said, "Why did Gong Jin say this?"

Zhou Yu did not explain to Sun Quan how he made the judgment, but said: "The thief Cao has been in the army for half his life, and he is full of tricks. He likes to ambush, lure the enemy to fight, and win in chaos. How can he not prevent others from attacking him? Now the city

There are many camps outside, and we don’t know their reality clearly, so we might be tempted to use them as a ruse.”

Sun Quan's eyes wandered, and then he said: "Gong Jin is overly worried. A certain soldier in the city has not moved. How could he have fallen into the trap?"

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said: "My lord! Since the soldiers in the city have not been moved, are you going to mobilize the troops from Jiangdong? In this case, my lord, have you ever thought that Jiangdong will inevitably be empty! If there is some trouble, what will happen to the Sun family's foundation?"

For Zhou Yu, it might be better if Sun Quan mobilized the existing troops in the city. If he had to be clever and let Zhou Tai sneak back to Jiangdong to mobilize troops, then even if he really mobilized soldiers, it would be equivalent to taking time out.

The Sun family originally deployed its defense forces in Jiangdong, but if the empty Jiangdong is incited...

The northerners rode horses and the southerners rowed boats, so Sun Quan's idea of ​​using boats to surround Cao Cao's rear was not a strange or amazing strategy. On the contrary, in Zhou Yu's view, this strategy was not surprising.

Falling into an ambush by Cao Cao.

Sun Quan glared at Zhou Yu for a while before saying: "I have it at home... Wait, the governor said, it seems that someone will be defeated? In the past, the hussars could surprise Yuan Cao, why can't someone?"

Yes, young people are always high-spirited. What can others do that I can't do?

Give me a reason first!

Zhou Yu sighed slightly and said: "My lord, if a surprise attack is to be carried out, the right time, place and people should be favorable. It has been raining for many days now. Although it can cover the tracks, the utensils are damp and there is no way to set fire to them, so they cannot seize the enemy first to disrupt his army."

.Secondly, Cao Jun’s military camp is stretched out. He has already occupied a good position and has sentry posts everywhere. How can he advance without being surprised? Thirdly, there are many good generals under Qiusi’s command. Although Youping is also brave, there is only one person..."

Sun Quan was speechless. After turning around twice, he turned to Zhou Yu and asked: "In this case, does the governor have any good ideas?"

Zhou Yu was silent.

"Retreating again?" Sun Quan couldn't help but said. Sun Quan just didn't want to retreat, so he came up with a strategy to surprise Cao's army.

Zhou Yu nodded.
