Pang Tong believes that with Jingzhou's current strength, defeating Cao Cao is naturally the most important goal. But after defeating Cao Cao, the next development requires an overall plan. Judging from the current situation, Cao Cao's failure is inevitable, but Cao Cao
Although he was defeated, he would not be injured. Cao Cao must have a vast territory and a large population, and he could organize hundreds of thousands of troops at any time. But Jingzhou is different. Although Jingzhou is governed better, the people are rich, and the soldiers are brave, but
There is a major problem, the training time for soldiers in Jingzhou is too long.
Long Fei nodded: "To get good soldiers, you must go through long-term training. Without sufficient training, how can soldiers be brave and tenacious and defeat more with less?"
Pang Tong said: "That's the problem. Jingzhou's soldiers are brave and invincible, but they don't have enough soldiers. This time we go to war with Cao Cao, and with Sun Quan as our helper, if Cao Cao treats Jingzhou wholeheartedly, it may not be that simple. So, we must
Imitate the plan of the pre-Qin and Su Qin, and join forces! Unite Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Ma Teng to fight against Cao Cao!"
"Liu Bei? Ma Teng?" Xu Shu said: "What can these two people do? Ma Teng was defeated by Cao Cao. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to gain the confidence to become an enemy of Cao Cao. As for Liu Bei who is fighting for Yizhou, whether he can win it is still a question.
The unknown.”
Guo Jia shook his head: "Brother Shiyuan is right. Although Ma Teng is defeated, Xiliang is still in Ma Teng's hands, and there are Qiang people to help. It may not be easy for Cao Cao to take it back. Liu Zhang in Yizhou is weak and incompetent, Liu Bei, Zhang
Lu is attacking from both sides and will fail sooner or later. Hanzhong Zhang Lu relies on the Five Pecks of Rice religion to control Hanzhong. It is simply difficult to last long. Sooner or later, he will be destroyed by Cao Cao or Liu Bei. Aren't there only a few princes left in the world?"
Pang Tong chuckled and said: "A genius is indeed a genius, and he can grasp the world's major events with absolute accuracy. However, Cao Cao controls several states in Hebei and has rich lands in the Central Plains. He has millions of soldiers and horses and thousands of good generals. No matter how many princes and princes there are,
No confrontation will succeed. Only alliance is the right way. The alliance of the generals has taken a good path, but unfortunately it is just a superficial effort. If you want to truly unite the princes, you have to spend money."
"What capital?" Long Fei asked.
"Sun Quan from Jiangdong wanted to be a general, but Liu Bei was only a left-wing general, and even his imperial grandson's title was taken away. Although Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang were also princes, their names were not justified.
There is a trump card here, why can't we make good use of it?" Pang Tong stood up and said in an understatement: "Also, after this battle, Jiangdong is exhausted, which is the opportunity for the general to show his goodwill. If the general can give him food and grass, Sun Quan will definitely be grateful.
, Liu Bei's new acquisition of Yizhou, the general can give him an official title, and Liu Bei will be happy to bring Liu Zhang, a hot potato, to Jingzhou. Xiliang Ma Teng has coveted the land of Sanfu for a long time, why doesn't the general appoint Ma Teng as the prefect of Chang'an?
, No matter whether Ma Teng can get Chang'an or not, at least he will not form an alliance with Cao Cao, which will isolate Cao Cao. With the emperor in his hands, Cao Cao will be a rebellious minister and traitor, and the traitors in the world will eat away at every step!"
Even though Pang Tong did this, he still failed to put aside Hei Bing's influence on him. In Hei Bing's plan, he wanted to keep Sun Quan and Liu Bei alive so that if there was a chance in the future, he could unify these small princes and overthrow the big prince Cao Cao.
, so as to achieve his own goal. Long Fei naturally knew this, but it was reasonable that Pang Tong had not changed his mind since he was new.
Long Fei chuckled: "Brother Shiyuan is indeed very knowledgeable, but we still have to solve the situation in Chibi. Those are things for later. Let's talk about what we should do now."
Everyone laughed. Dian Wei shouted: "What else is there to say? Just go across the river and chop off Cao Cao's head. It will be over once and for all, and you will not have to think about it here."
Long Fei nodded: "Well! This is indeed a good idea, then send our General Dian!"
"Okay! Shall I organize the troops now?" Dian Wei walked out of the tent. Xu Shu hurriedly called out: "General Dian? My lord means that you go alone and don't need to bring any troops."
"Ah!" Dian Wei was stunned: "Just me? Cao Cao has an army of millions, how can I defeat him alone?"
Long Fei snorted coldly: "You are not afraid of death, but we all cherish our lives. The soldiers are here to protect our Jingzhou, not to play hard!"
Everyone looked at Dian Wei and laughed. Dian Wei also laughed and said: "If I am alone, then forget it, I, Lao Dian, will cherish my life!"
Everyone stopped laughing and turned to look at his two military advisors. Pang Tong asked, "Didn't my lord make a plan with Zhou Yu? I wonder how it went?"
No one except Long Fei and Guo Jia knew about this matter. Pang Tong bringing it up at this time was tantamount to a bombshell. Everyone looked at Long Fei again. Long Fei sighed: "Although this matter is between me and Zhou Yu
It was decided, but there has been no news. It is said that someone has sent the letter, and Cao Cao seems to be still busy with the serial warships, and there is no response."
"Oh?" Pang Tong nodded: "It seems that Cao Cao may not believe it. That Kan Ze was killed a little too early. If this spy is here and gives Cao Cao a few breaths, Cao Cao will definitely believe it!"
Speaking of Kan Ze, Long Fei has sent people to inquire. It is true that Lu Su used a trick to replace Kan Ze with a death row prisoner. However, in order to cover up others' deception, Kan Ze was not sent back to Moling. He is still secretly detained by the army.
, it’s just that the place hasn’t been clarified yet.
Guo Jia nodded: "No matter how thorough our plan is, it cannot be compared to someone trusted by Cao Cao. This Kan Ze is the key to the plan."
Xu Shu said hurriedly: "I have sent people to inquire in many places, and almost searched the entire Jiangdong Army camp, but I can't find any trace of Kan Ze!"
"This is a bit strange. Although the Jiangdong Army's camp is not small, it will not be so easy for Tibetans, let alone a person who has been killed." Pang Tong's words made Xu Shu a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Long Fei asked: "Is there anything else in the Jiangdong camp that has not been checked?"
Xu Shu hurriedly said: "Except for the generals' camps, I sent people to look at other places. Could it be..." Xu Shu thought of this and did not dare to say the next words. Kan Ze was considered a wanted criminal. When he was executed that day, Jiangdong
The generals were the most ferocious, and even if Lu Su hid Kan Ze in their camp, it would still be difficult.
Long Fei nodded: "In that case, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will take care of the rest!"
That night, Long Fei called Chen Dao into his tent and gave a few instructions. Chen Dao agreed and turned around and went out. The night was still as dark as ever. Winter and spring alternated, and the weather changed a bit. Over the past few days, every day
It was all covered with dark clouds, and at night there were not even half a star. In the military camp, because of the torches, you could see clearly from a long distance.
Chen Dao wore a military uniform of the Jiangdong Army and shuttled back and forth among the Jiangdong Army's camp. The patrolling soldiers took one look at them and thought they were one of his own, so they didn't ask any more questions. Chen Dao searched tent after tent, almost all of them.
After searching the entire military camp, they still found nothing. Only the last tent was left. This was Zhou Yu's tent and the headquarters of the entire Jiangdong Army.
The people standing guard at the door were the Jiangdong navy. This was specially arranged by Zhu Huan. He couldn't trust those infantry. Maybe Zhou Yu was really dying. The lights were on in the big tent all night, and the navy generals would appear in the big tent from time to time.
The coughing sound inside was loud and fast. Because there was no possibility of curing Zhou Yu's condition, Zhang Ji helped nurse him back to health for a month, then shook his head and said he wanted to leave. There were still many people in Jingzhou who had not been treated.
Zhou Yu had already made up his mind to die, so he did not stop him. As soon as Zhang Ji left, Zhou Yu's illness became a little worse. The Jiangdong naval forces all had frowns on their faces, and they ran to the Chinese army's tent even more diligently.
Chen Dao regarded this place as the least likely place to harbor Kan Ze. First of all, people came and went here, and secondly, Zhou Yu lived here. He had no friendship with Kan Ze and hated this spy. More importantly, Sun Quan did not
Lu Su would naturally not believe Zhou Yu, so Kan Ze, the person Sun Quan wanted to keep, would never hide in Zhou Yu's tent.
However, after searching the entire Jiangdong military camp, there was only this one place left, and there was no way to report to Long Fei without taking a closer look. Just when Chen Dao was thinking about how to get in, all the navy generals walked out of the tent.
Chen Dao came out with a look of helplessness and intolerance, even his eyes were red, and he had obviously cried. Chen Dao ducked out of the way and got into the shadow of the tent next to him.
Quan Duan wiped his tears and just walked with his head down. As soon as he turned the corner, he suddenly felt a big hand reaching out from behind his neck. He hurriedly reached out to touch his sword. As soon as his right hand touched the hilt, he felt
Something hit me in the lower back. A deep voice said: "You'd better not move. If you dare to move, I will kill you immediately!"
Quan Duan was stunned for a moment: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The deep voice said: "Let me ask you, is Kan Ze being detained in your Chinese military tent?"
"Who are you? That spy has been killed by us!" Quan Duan was still calm and did not yell. This is what makes a general.
"Don't lie to me. The one you killed was not Kan Ze at all. Tell me quickly, is he in there?"
"I have no idea!"
Suddenly, Quan Duan felt a pain on the back of his head, and his whole body felt like the world was spinning. His mind went blank, and all consciousness was gone. His vision went dark, and Quan Duan fell limply into Chen Dao's arms.
Chen Dao took off the full length of his general uniform and put it on himself, smoothed his hair, pushed his helmet as low as possible, and tried to cover his face. After everything was packed, he walked out of the shadows and watched.
There were two soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the big tent. Chen Dao lowered his head and just walked inside. Perhaps because of Chen Dao's figure and Quan Duan's imagination, the two soldiers did not stop him at all, and Chen Dao entered the big tent smoothly.
