I still remember the original history. How highly of Cao Mengde looked up to Guan Yu, how he used all his means to win over him, but it was unavailable.

But now, I'm disdainful.

Guan Yu was not a mediocre general. Although he was far from his original position after being mythized in history, he also had the talent of commander. In the history that had never been changed, Guan Yu sat alone in Jingzhou, occupied Cao Mengde, resisted Sun Zhongmou, and defended Jingzhou for a short time with his own strength. Although he was defeated and killed later, it was not a crime of war, and it was beyond his reach.

However, now he is no longer valued by Cao Mengde.

Guan Yu is so strong that he is more powerful than ten thousand enemies, he charges in battle, kills generals and seizes flags. But he is not as top-notch as the commander. And the enemy of ten thousand enemies and those with high martial arts skills are not very popular now in Cao Mengde. What he values ​​more is command ability.

What's more, Guan Yu is indeed arrogant, and Cao Mengde doesn't like it, which is reasonable.

As for Zhang Fei, although he is also a bold and meticulous person, his weakness is more obvious than Guan Yu. People who are irritable and irritable are not real commanders.

In Cao Mengde's words, it seemed that these characters were already in his hands, and Zhao Yu was not surprised by this.

Guangling City will be broken, where can they escape? As a corner of Xuzhou, Guangling is blocked by Cao Mengde in the south, unless he jumps into the sea, what else can he do? As long as they break the Sun Ce naval army, they will be unable to fly.

Even if Yuan Shu heard the war report, he would be out of reach for him to send a navy army again.

Zhao Yu said: "The enemy army in Guangling is a turtle in the jar, which is insignificant. But what do Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Meng De think?"

Cao Mengde thought for a moment and smiled: "I heard that Sun Ce has the courage of a king and is known as a little king. Zhou Yu has the talent of the governor, and his strategy is very important. I want to put these two people under the throne."

"I'm afraid it's not easy."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Your military force is too fierce. I believe that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's family all went to Jiangdong to avoid the edge. If there is a family bond, they may not bow down."

Cao Mengde laughed: "If you don't bow your head and give in, why not kill me?"

Zhao Yu also laughed.

Yes, after this battle, Cao Mengde owned the three states and had a population of nearly 10 million. He could even loot some talents, not short of these or two.

"You are in control of the three states, and Yuan Benchu ​​will definitely not be able to sleep or eat." Zhao Yu said: "The next big battle is not far away."

"It's within a year or two." Cao Mengde knew it in his mind: "If Yuan Benchu ​​wants to fight me with confidence, Gongsun Bogui must pacify it. Although I am worried that he will ignore it and will directly rush his army to the south, the chance is not very high."

Speaking of this, Cao Mengde changed his voice and said, "When it comes to Gongsun Bogui, I remembered Liu Bei in Guangling City. This Liu Bei is not a son. If it weren't for Gongsun Bogui, he would not even have a place to settle down. Now Gongsun Bogui is weak and he will not go to rescue him. Tao Gongzu's words came instead. Gongsun Bogui made him put down the plain and threaten the flanks of Jizhou. He left the plain and left, treating Gongsun Bogui's strategic plan as a joke. Tsk, this person..."

Zhao Yu has never taken a lot of attention to Liu Bei. It is not without reason why he came to this time and space and did not place Liu Bei among the candidates to support him.

Liu Bei was defeated repeatedly and repeatedly. Without extraordinary talents, he had perseverance. This is his advantage. However, Liu Bei was essentially a person who was more interested in interests. Whoever was good for him would dare to surrender without hesitation. When he could not see the benefits, he would abandon him without hesitation.

Whether it is his senior brother Gongsun Zan or his wife and children, if something is wrong, they will leave as soon as they say they want without any delay.

Zhao Yu doesn't like such a person.

If Zhao Yu supported Liu Bei, although Liu Bei might be offering him the same kind of care for his ancestors, he would not be happy if he didn't like him.

"It's just a little man, what do he do?" Zhao Yu said: "When Guangling is broken, can he still fly?"

Cao Mengde agreed with this: "What Mr. said is that Zixiao captured Lujiang and Jiujiang. If I break Guangling here again, there will be no place for them to stand in the north of Jiangbei. Unless you jump into the river, you will not be able to run away anywhere."

"It is best to start the Jianghuai River, and it is best to fight the war in the future." Zhao Yu said: "Take the Yangtze River as a natural danger and press down on the east side of Jiangdong. With the Yellow River as a natural danger, resist Yuan Shao in the north. As for Liu Biao, Jingzhou, the dog guarding the households, ignore it. Then you can manage people's livelihood with peace of mind. This does not take three to five years, and you will definitely have enough troops and enough food to make a fortune. At that time, sending troops to fight four times and sweeping the world is not a rash statement."

He also said: "Yan, Yu and Xu are located between the great rivers and rivers. The navy will have to be put on the agenda. Otherwise, facing Yuan Shu in Jiangdong, you can only defend passively, and you may not be at peace along the river. Zhou Gongjin is the best at water warfare, so I will help you hold him for your use. Give me another three or five months, and you will be able to build a warship with superior performance. At that time, the great rivers and rivers are natural dangers for people, and they will be smooth roads for you. The offense and defense are good, and you can fight whatever you want."

Cao Mengde was overjoyed and his excited beard was raised.

"With a gentleman here, I'm resting at ease!"

It's night.

Mid-time.

Xu Huang had already led his troops to the Dongling Pavilion in the dark, and then Xiahou Dun also led five thousand troops to follow him secretly, and wanted to set up an ambush outside the Dongling Pavilion.

Cao Mengde stood at the gate of the gate, Zhao Yu and others followed each other, and saw the army sinking into the darkness. Zhao Yu said, "Meng De and I have five hundred light cavalry, I will go to Tangyi to wait for the rabbit."

The county town around Guangling has a Hailing to the east and a Yu Kingdom to the west. Tangyi is still west of Yu Kingdom. Yu Kingdom is on the west side of Cao Mengde's military camp. Cao Mengde's army blocked the west and the north main road. No matter what the war happens in the future, the enemy will be defeated. If the navy is destroyed, if you want to escape, you can only go west.

In the event of a big loss, if you lose, you will lose your armor and have the food and grass cut off. Those who are lucky enough to escape from the Guangling battlefield will definitely collect food and grass along the way. The country of Yu is too close to you and dare not delay, and Tangyi is the best choice.

So Zhao Yu had to go to Tangyi to wait for the rabbit.

The one who guards the city is Tangyi, and the one who waits for the rabbit is Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

What kind of person is Zhou Yu? Zhao Yu guessed that even if Xun Gongda had a brilliant plan, he would probably be seen through by Zhou Yu. With Zhou Yu's decision, he would definitely suggest that Sun Ce escape overnight and never fight with Cao's army. However, Sun Ce was quite stubborn and would definitely not want to escape without fighting. He would definitely burn his boats and insist on coming to attack Cao's army camp, and then he would be covered in all his head. However, Zhou Yu would definitely leave a way out and it would not be difficult to escape.

The difference between fleeing again after defeat and escaping directly is very big.

If you escape directly and withdraw with preparation, you will not lose too much food or grass, and you may not go to Tangyi to search for food and grass nearby. Once you are defeated and flee, the food and grass will definitely be lost. In addition, the large camp of other naval forces will be destroyed, like a dog with a broken family, and if there is no grain, you will definitely go to Tangyi to search for food and grass even if you have no food.
