Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 213 Prelude to Chibi
Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Zhou Yu laughed out loud.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid that what you care about is not the countless people in Jiangdong, what you really care about is the interests of your gentry!"

Zhang Zhao's face changed drastically when he heard this, "Hmph, the lack of a scorpion is a trick!"

After saying that, he walked away.

……

After Sun Quan decided to resist Cao, Zhou Yu stepped up his military training day and night.

On the other side, Cao Jun is also stepping up training the navy.

There was a moment of calm on both sides of the Yangtze River, and it seemed that a huge storm was about to erupt.

A month later, Cao Jun's navy finally came out and was about to march south.

After Zhou Yu received the information from the front, he immediately held a military meeting. He knew that if he wanted to defeat Cao Cao, he had to make a fuss on the water.

Zhou Yu is talented as a general, and he analyzed everything in detail, how to fight this battle now.

Even Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and other veterans nodded after hearing Zhou Yu's arrangement.

Finally, Zhou Yu mobilized before the war.

"I don't believe that the water army that Cao Cao hastily trained can have much combat effectiveness. I only believe that I, Jiangdong, and the wolf are the overlords on the water."

His words were very charismatic, and the young generals such as Lu Meng Ling Tong were excited when they heard them.

Compared with the excitement of these young generals, Han Dang, Huang Gai Chengpu and others were a little unhappy.

This time, Zhou Yu's pre-war arrangement mainly used his confidantes, and these veterans were not reused by him.

Although his previous arrangements were very strategic and in harmony with the art of war, nepotism still got these veterans drunk.

After the military meeting ended, all the veterans gathered together.

It is precisely because they are dissatisfied with the current arrangement of the situation that they gathered together, ready to complain.

Everyone complained while drinking, and the scale of the topic became bigger and bigger.

From Jiangdong's rumors to Zhou Yu himself.

Huang Gai felt that what everyone said was a little too much, so he said: "Everyone should focus on the overall situation. After all, he is our governor, the commander in chief of this battle of Chibi."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Pu immediately stopped listening.

"Great Governor? He Zhou Lang is just a brat, and he was able to get to where he is today only because of his brotherly friendship with the First Lord!"

With Cheng Pu taking the lead in stabbing, Zu Mao also became angry, "That's right, when we fought with General Sun Jian, Zhou Yu didn't know where he was!"

"Looking at him now, he doesn't pay attention to us old guys at all. In a few years, I'm afraid there will be no seats for me in the coalition."

The topic went on and on, and it came to the gossip about Jiangdong some time ago.

Regarding, Zhou Yu wanted to make Sun Zhao, the son of Sun Ce, the lord of Jiangdong.

"I think the rumors are false, but it's true that Zhou Yu wants to be the Lord of Jiangdong!" Cheng Pu shouted in excitement.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

Although many people think this way, it is of another nature to really say it.

Seeing the strange atmosphere, Cheng Pu couldn't help but feel that the words just said seemed inappropriate.

But the words spoken are like water poured out, and there is no reason to take them back.

Therefore, Cheng Pu continued to say with a sticky neck:
"I was right!"

"You think, Mr. Sun Zhao is young now, if he is allowed to be the lord of Jiangdong, then this Jiangdong is equivalent to becoming a puppet, isn't Jiangdong the world of that Zhou Yu?"

"Hey, I have already said what should be said and what should not be said today. If I continue to talk about it, something big will happen. Everyone, let's go!" Huang Gai shouted loudly.

So, the crowd dispersed like this.

In the next few days, they prepared their own armies for battle, but there were no disturbances.

……

On the other side, in Cao Jun's camp, a military meeting was going on, and Cao Peng was sitting on the main seat.

Although his position as the commander-in-chief made people jealous, no one dared to question his ability.

On the one hand, Cao Peng is really capable.

Whether it was conquering Xuzhou in the east to pacify Lu Bu, or conquering Yuan Shao in the north, and destroying Wuhuan in Liaodong, Cao Peng always maintained an important position above these major battles.

On the other hand, those who opposed Cao Peng did not end well.

The Cao Ren and Xiahou brothers before had been carrying Cao Peng, and everyone had seen what happened to them in the end.

Just like every previous war, Cao Peng is a pivotal figure.

The same is true for the conquest of Jiangdong this time.

However, General Cao Peng, who was indomitable before, seemed to be very cautious this time.

He seemed to be full of jealousy towards Jiangdong on the other side of the Yangtze River.

However, Cao Peng's vigilance made everyone disagree.

Cao Hong, Xu Huang and other generals didn't take Jiangdong seriously. In their words, they looked down on Jiangdong.

Because Cao Peng's military conferences have always advocated speaking freely, so everyone dared to say whatever they thought.

"After Jiangdong is conquered, the Jiangnan women there are said to be as gorgeous as water. We should enjoy it."

"Good guy, now you're thinking about what will happen after the war, you're so dishonest!"

Amidst the noise and laughter of the crowd, the topic gradually drifted away.

They even discussed the post-war affairs. It seemed that in their eyes, taking down Jiangdong was already a matter of pocket.

Cao Peng frowned. The generals were once so proud and complacent.

Although Liu Bei has been abolished now, how can Jiangdong Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others be underestimated.

This time it was fighting on the opponent's territory again, and Cao Jun did not have a geographical advantage.

As far as generals are concerned, although Cao Jun has many soldiers and generals, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang Zumao and others in Jiangdong are not taking it easy!
When Cao Peng was about to speak to pour cold water on everyone, someone rushed to speak before him.

"Gentlemen, with all due respect, although we have already trained the navy to fight Jiangdong on the river, there will still be a gap."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone couldn't help looking over, who is the general who spoke?
I saw this person, more than eight feet tall, with half-open clothes, bare breasts, and a pair of huge steel knives around his waist.

It was Gan Ning, the naval general appointed by Cao Peng.

This Gan Ning was appointed by Cao Peng himself as the commander of the navy, and the 10 sailors transferred from Jingzhou were under the command of Gan Ning.

Another 10 navy is in the hands of Cai Hao, but according to Cao Peng's arrangement, Cai Hao is mainly responsible for the safety of Cao Cao's Chinese army this time.

That is to say, if Gan Ning plays well here, Cai Mao will become a substitute who cannot play.

After Cao Peng's decision was made, Gan Ning was so grateful to Cao Peng that he almost regarded Cao Peng as his own father.

Cai Mao, on the other hand, kept slandering Cao Peng's decision in private, and then came to Cao Peng to make friends with him.

However, nothing has changed...
