Chapter 696: Clouds Shroud
Before leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Ouyang Shuo was about to ask Cao Cao for a person, and said sincerely: "Prime Minister, this expedition of the sailor division is strong and strong, but there is a lack of a military advisor, and I hope that the prime minister will be successful." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
As he spoke, Ouyang Shuo bowed down, full of sincerity.
Cao Cao held his beard with his hands, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he laughed: "Military advisor? Who do you want? β
The meaning in the eyes is unpredictable.
This is Cao Cao, his mind is uncertain, and no one can fathom it.
"Mr. Jia Xu is talented, it is best to deign as you wish." Ouyang Shuo will not be polite.
Cao Cao didn't say anything, Jia Xu on one side was already twitching on his face, and his heart was almost "collapsed", he never expected that Ouyang Shuo was such a "shameless" person.
"The previous invitation failed, but this time I actually used my power for personal gain, and I completely relied on him." Jia Xu complained in his heart.
Ouyang Shuo saw it, but he was unmoved, if he wanted to recruit talents, he had to be thick-faced and unscrupulous.
"Hmm~~" Cao Cao listened, half silent, brushing his beard unslowly, eagle-like eyes, scanning Ouyang Shuo and Jia Xu back and forth, as if he wanted to distinguish whether there was any greasy between the two.
When Jia Xu saw it, he smiled bitterly. He also knew that his master was suspicious by nature. When he was on the boat, Ouyang Shuo took the initiative to talk to him, I am afraid that he would have already fallen into the eyes of the lord.
Now it's like this again, and I can't wash it if I really jump into the Yellow River.
At this moment, Cheng Yu took the initiative to stand up, resolve the deadlock, and said with a smile: "Lord Qiqi, I think that the request of the stranger is quite reasonable. The ocean-going fleet is the key to the success or failure of this battle, and it is necessary to have a resourceful person who is always on the side to ensure that everything is safe. β
As he spoke, Cheng Yu gave Cao Cao a look.
When Cao Cao saw it, he immediately understood.
Cheng Yu's subtext is obvious, that is, to let Cao Cao take this opportunity to plant people in the ocean-going fleet. It is not known whether there are other struggles and considerations.
Strategists, as long as there are many of them, it is inevitable that there will be intrigues.
Just like now, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, who is the first strategist by Cao Cao's side, there is really no conclusion.
Therefore, if there is a chance, Cheng Yu doesn't mind pushing Jia Xu.
It's not meanness, it's just power.
"If it weren't for the roll call of the unclothed lord, I would have wanted to go with me." Cheng Yu finally said jokingly.
"That's not going to happen." Cao Cao also smiled, and he didn't know what kind of trade-off he had in his heart, but he finally agreed, nodded and said, "Okay, let Wen He go with you." β
"Prime Minister Xie!" Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed.
"Wenhe, you have to assist well along the way." Cao Cao confessed in person, his eyes sharp.
Jia Xu's face darkened, and he had no choice but to give orders to Cao Cao, "No! β
When the dust settled, Ouyang Shuo faced Jia Xu with a sincere expression, and clenched his fists with both hands: "Sir, it's hard work!" β
Jia Xu's expression was faint, and he nodded stiffly.
"Well, may you return victorious!" Cao Cao laughed again.
Ouyang Shuo saw it, but he was panicked. This hero is really "special", whether he is happy or angry, he always smiles, and when he sees a lot, he can't help but panic.
"No!"
In the end, Ouyang Shuo saluted with Jia Xu and left.
β¦β¦
In the main hall, only Cao Cao and Cheng Yu remained.
"Zhongde, what did you say about Wen He and Wu Yi on the boat?" Cao Cao's words seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was asking a question, and there was no smile on his face.
Cheng Yu listened, his heart suddenly burst out, and he chose to remain silent.
"Huh?" Cao Cao was not ready to let him go, and turned his head and asked.
Cheng Yu's expression stiffened, and he said stiffly: "I'm afraid it's a general talk!" β
In the final analysis, Cheng Yu is still relatively upright and did not take the opportunity to fall into the well.
"Maybe!"
Cao Cao's tone was uncertain, and then he also got up and left the main hall, leaving Cheng Yu alone to figure it out.
The huge main hall was instantly quiet.
************
Leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Ouyang Shuo returned to the barracks and met with Bai Hua and the others to explain some things.
"This time, Caiyun Zhinan, Qin Feng and others chose Cao Cao's camp, I'm afraid they have ulterior motives. After I am gone, you must not relax your surveillance of them, and you must not take them lightly. β
Ouyang Shuo always felt that it was a little unusual for these guys to choose Cao Cao's camp together.
"Don't worry, they won't be able to jump." The phoenix prisoner is still so domineering.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, "Okay, Jiangling here, I'll leave it to you." β
"Be careful yourself!" The phoenix instructed.
Let the stump on one side be seen, and the expression is ambiguous.
"I will."
Ouyang Shuo was frank, chatted about some details, and dispersed.
Next, Ouyang Shuo began to dispatch troops.
In this attack, in addition to the ocean-going fleet, the three thousand divine guards naturally have to accompany them. In addition, Ouyang Shuo was also preparing to bring the First Division of the City Guard Corps.
Ouyang Shuo always had a hunch that this trip would not be smooth sailing.
The division commander of the first division is none other than Zhao Sihu, an age general that Ouyang Shuo admires very much, and a veteran of Shanhai City.
In the afternoon of the same day, the army quietly left Gangneung and went down the river.
************
At the same time, all parties are moving.
Gangneung Castle Guard, the garrison of the Inhuman Legion.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Caiyun Zhinan, Qin Feng and Ruan Ping secretly gathered together.
"That person has already left Gangneung, is the news reliable?" Caiyun Zhinan asked.
Qin Feng nodded, "Absolutely reliable, my subordinates have seen it with their own eyes." β
"Well, I think he's killing himself." Ruan Ping's face was gloomy and he gritted his teeth.
"Don't talk about him," Caiyun Zhinan waved his hand and said, "This side of Jiangling City must also be arranged quickly." β
"Rest assured, everything is going well." Ruan Ping couldn't hide his excitement.
"Don't be too happy, the two women of Bai Hua and Phoenix are not easy to deal with."
"Two girls, can you still turn the sky upside down?" Ruan Binh's expression was unruly.
Seeing Caiyun Zhinan, it is not good to say anything, "In short, everything is according to plan, be cautious." β
"That's a good point!" Qin Feng nodded.
The three of them got together and talked for an hour before they dispersed.
Just as Ouyang Shuo had a hunch, Jiangling City was destined not to be peaceful, and there was an undercurrent surging.
β¦β¦
Chibi, water village camp.
A week ago, a fire in the annals of history had long been extinguished, and the camp of the Cao army on the shore of Wulin was completely reduced to ruins in the sea of fire, leaving behind broken walls.
After the war, this place was requisitioned by Zhou Yu's army and rebuilt as a camp.
In this way, the two water villages of Chibi and Wulin, facing each other in the compartment, were all occupied by the Sun and Liu coalition forces, one east and one west, firmly guarding this section of the Yangtze River.
At this time, it was not Sun Liu's army that was guarding the two major water villages, but the army of sailors led by coastal lords such as Xiongba and Wolf Warrior.
In this battle, Xiongba and Wolf Warrior made a desperate bet, and the 20,000 troops they each brought were all sailors, and they were also the most elite existences in the territory.
Even minus sailors, the number of large armies has surpassed that of the ocean-going fleet. In addition, there are some sporadic sailors under the command of two people, Xiongba is the main general, and Wolf Warrior is the deputy general.
The total strength of the Allied forces has reached 50,000 or 60,000, close to the Sun-Liu coalition army.
It is precisely in this way that Zhou Yu will rest assured that such a large army will guard Chibi.
In the central tent of the water village, a conversation was going on at this time.
"You say, will the old fox really come?" Wolf Warrior asked.
The male bully on the other side smiled, "He's definitely coming." β
"You're so confident?"
"Heh, we're the same kind of people, I know him." Xiongba explained with a smile.
The wolf didn't know what to think, so he didn't continue to delve into it, and said lightly: "After being a prey for a few years, it's time for us to be hunters again." This time, the old fox can't be allowed to escape. β
"No matter how cunning a fox is, he can't escape the trap of a hunter!"
"Haha~~~"
The two looked at each other and smiled, full of confidence.
************
Ouyang Shuo didn't know that there were so many people behind him who were calculating him.
On the Dragon Head, he was discussing the specific battle plan with Jia Xu and Zheng He.
Jia Xu was introducing the situation of Zhou Yu's waterway army, "The enemy's waterway has Lu Su as the governor, and there are a number of generals such as Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Zhou Tai and Gan Ning. The number of the army was about fifteen thousand. β
"It's all elite!"
Ouyang Shuo sighed with emotion, Shanhai City has always lacked sailor generals. After getting Zheng He, Shi Lang, Yu Dayou, Γlvaro and other generals, the generals at the level of admiral were finally basically completed.
What is lacking now is the backbone generals at the level of the general army, and there is no doubt that Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning and others are all worthy of this position.
Thinking about it like this, Ouyang Shuo was a little looking forward to it.
"Sir, you say, with the current situation, will the Lu Su army still go against the current and cooperate with Zhou Yu's army to attack Jiangling City? Could it be that they have already returned to Chibi? Ouyang Shuo asked.
"I don't rule it out." Jia Xu nodded, "It's just a little, after the fire burned Chibi, the Lusu army had already set off, and according to the time calculation, they would have already reached halfway." Therefore, even if you get the news and want to return to Chibi, there will be a while. If we move quickly, we still have a good chance of catching up with the enemy before they reach Chibi. β
When Jia Xu said this, he was naturally not untargeted.
It is winter, and it is the north-westerly wind, which is extremely beneficial for the ocean-going fleet. With Jia Xu's shrewdness, he naturally noticed that the speed of the ocean-going fleet was much faster than that of the Lu Su Naval Division.
Especially under the resistance of the northwest wind, the sails are open and the speed keeps up amazingly.
"That's good." Ouyang Shuo immediately made a decision, "Pass the order, the fleet will continue day and night, pursuing all the way, and it is necessary to defeat the enemy army before it retreats to Chibi." β
"No!" Zheng He received the order.
In this way, taking advantage of the night, by the cold northwest wind, the ocean-going fleet was like a ghost, down the river, mighty and mighty, with no end in sight.
The golden dragon flag fluttered in the wind in the night.
