Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Not long after the iron chain boat connection was successfully completed, the scouts sent by Zhou Yu received the news.

He was obviously a little wary of the news.

The wind direction on the river is not favorable for Jiangdong now. If Emperor Liu sends troops at this time, it will probably be a bloody battle.

While he ordered his soldiers to strengthen the defense, he also sent soldiers to continue investigating the movements on the other side of the river.

When he saw that the troops on the other side were training for longer and longer periods of time and their training momentum was getting stronger and stronger, Zhou Yu had already understood Liu Yu's intention.

Liu Yu was good at commanding troops and cared for his soldiers. He showed due caution in this battle which would injure 10,000 enemies but cost 8,000 of his own men.

He asked his soldiers to train as quickly as possible, wanting to wait until the soldiers were familiar with water warfare before launching an attack.

Theoretically, this method can indeed maximize the combat effectiveness of soldiers and maximize the initiative in the war.

But Zhou Yu was not worried. Letting soldiers take control of the navy was not something that could be done overnight. It would be a long process.

Based on Zhou Yu's understanding of the wind direction in this season, he probably didn't have this opportunity at all.

Zhou Yu walked out of the camp, felt the direction of the wind, and watched it gradually stop, with a smile on his face.

Lu Meng followed behind Zhou Yu and felt the lightness from Zhou Yu.

"Grand Admiral, you look so happy, could it be that the opportunity for war has emerged?"

"Ziming, you've been in Jiangnan for a long time. Can you see that the wind is about to change?"

Lu Meng was a little confused, but very sincere.

"can not tell."

"In late autumn, although there are mostly northerly winds, once the wind dies down, there will be southerly winds for a few days, and these few days are our chance."

Lü Meng was delighted and asked for battle, saying, "General, the things that can start a fire are already ready. I will drive the warship into Liu Huangshu's formation and defeat the enemy as soon as you give the order."

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "Uncle Liu is very resourceful, how could he not be prepared? In addition to the iron chain boats, he also deployed some ships for alert. If we attack rashly, we will definitely be blocked by these ships. At that time, not only will we fail, but we will also alert Uncle Liu."

"Grand Commander, let me lead 5,000 soldiers to break through the outer defenses and reach the middle of the warships. Then, we can set all the warships on fire."

Zhou Yu shook his head slowly to express his opposition.

"Gan Ning is a man of great martial arts skills, and is definitely not an ordinary person. He has a profound understanding and unique comprehension of naval warfare, and is well versed in the essence of it.

The soldiers led by him are all brave, fearless, powerful and good at fighting. It is not easy to defeat them completely easily!

Moreover, there are also the mighty generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who are feared by the world. Both of them have the courage of ten thousand men and can be called the enemy of ten thousand men.

At this moment, they were standing firmly in the rear, watching the situation on the battlefield with eager eyes.

Given their personalities and strengths, how could they just stand by and watch?

Once the battle situation changes, they will lead the troops to charge without hesitation.

At that time, many powerful generals will work together, sweeping over like a surging tide.

Faced with such a powerful offensive, how can you have any chance of winning?

I am afraid that if we are not careful, we will end up in a miserable defeat."

Lu Meng stood there quietly, with no expression on his face, but his thoughts were surging in his heart.

In his heart, he did not actually have much recognition or appreciation for Guan Yu's so-called reputation for bravery.

Recalling the battle of flooding Shu County, he felt that Guan Yu was able to be invincible in the water only because of his famous horse Red Hare.

If it weren't for the help of this divine horse, Guan Yu would have been their prisoner long ago, and how could he pose any threat to their side?

"The Grand Commander seems to be confident, so he must have a plan in mind?"

"We need someone to pretend to surrender to Uncle Liu and let him down. Only in this way can we achieve success."

"Does the Grand Commander have a candidate in mind?"

"If you want to make Uncle Liu let down his guard, you must have a reason that he can believe. There is such a person in our camp."

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he turned and left. Lu Meng looked at his back and felt that his figure was getting taller and taller, almost reaching the sky.

Zu Mao has been feeling depressed these days.

When the two armies were facing each other, the situation was extremely tense. However, he asked Zhou Yu for help several times with great ambition, eager to lead the troops to attack the water fort where Liu Huangshu was stationed, but each request was rejected by Zhou Yu without hesitation.

Zu Mao couldn't help feeling confused and uneasy. He vaguely felt that perhaps Zhou Yu did not trust his loyalty.

This doubt hung over his heart like a haze, making him feel extremely depressed.

As a result, Zu Mao had nothing to do all day and could only sit alone in the tent and drink to drown his sorrows.

He drank glass after glass of liquor, but it couldn't dispel the depression and loss in his heart.

Looking at the scene of military flags flying outside the tent and soldiers busy with training, he felt even more lonely and helpless.

At this time, Zu Mao seemed to be in a fog. He could not find the direction to move forward, nor did he know how to regain Zhou Yu's trust and display his ambitions and talents.

The wine slowly slid into the throat, but it seemed to turn into endless sorrow, churning in the stomach, making people feel more sad and depressed!

Zhou Yu, wearing armor, stepped into the tent in a heroic manner. With sharp eyebrows and bright eyes and a smile on his face, he walked to the table, picked up a glass of fine wine elegantly, and said loudly: "General, you are in a good mood, drinking here alone, why don't you ask Zhou Yu to share this fine wine with you?"

Zu Mao was immersed in his own thoughts and had never expected Zhou Yu to appear in his tent so suddenly. However, he did not rush to greet him like an ordinary person, but just raised his eyes slightly, calmly picked up the wine glass in front of him, and took another big gulp of the strong wine.

"The Grand Commander is burdened with heavy military duties and has a lot of things to do every day. How come you have the leisure time to come to my small tent today?" Zu Mao's voice was low and a little puzzled.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, looked at Zu Mao with a firm and sincere look, and responded: "To be honest, I came here this time because I have a good plan to defeat the enemy, and I came here to ask for your help."

Zu Mao couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He put down the wine glass in his hand heavily, and said with a bit of suspicion and vigilance: "Are you serious, Grand Commander? Did you come here specially to tease me?"

Zhou Yu immediately bowed and said solemnly, "General, you are wrong! You are a loyal minister of our Dongwu. I remember that you followed the former general to fight everywhere, conquering the south and the north, and made great military achievements.

"I, Zhou Yu, have nothing but admiration for the general, so how dare I come and tease him? Moreover, the general has volunteered to fight many times before, and his ambition is admirable."
