Huang Gai and Zhu Zhi's expressions changed.
After Lu Su's reminder, they immediately realized the loopholes in Zhou Yu's system strategy.
The primary purpose of the fire attack was to destroy Liu Bei's navy.
As long as his navy is destroyed, even if Liu's army cannot be completely destroyed or even Xiakou is captured, the final outcome will not be affected.
Nothing else.
When the navy was destroyed, Liu Bei lost control of the Han River and the Yangtze River.
The Jiangdong navy warships can cut off the Jianghan waterway at will, completely cutting off Liu Bei's food route.
At that time, Liu Bei could only abandon Xiakou and retreat to Jiangling.
He even couldn't defend Jiangling and had to retreat all the way to Xiangyang.
The four counties in Jingnan can be determined.
But if Liu Bei's navy cannot be burned out, all the above goals will be in vain.
"Gongjin, Lu Zijing’s concerns are not unreasonable."
"If Liu Bei's naval army cannot be burned, wouldn't the forty military sticks I received be in vain in the end?"
Huang Gai's face also darkened, and he complained about Zhou Yu's lack of consideration in his words.
But Zhou Yu quickly regained his composure, got up and walked around the tent, silent.
After a while, the corners of Zhou Yu's mouth raised slightly, and when he turned around, his face has regained its confidence in controlling the overall situation
"The old general, Zijing, you are worrying too much."
"I have carefully considered this entire plan, so how could I not take into account what Zijing said. Zhou
Yu sat down again and said mysteriously:
"In fact, in addition to the previous plans to sacrifice meat and pretend to surrender, I have already thought of a chain-link plan just to solve Zijing's concerns."
An iron chain plan?
Huang Gailusu looked at each other, both of them were confused.
"This plan is to send another person to the north bank to pretend to surrender to Liu Bei."
"At this time, you can use this person's mouth to advise Liu Bei and ask him to connect all his navy ships with iron ropes to form a boat formation."
"Once the warship is connected and the deck is laid with wooden planks, it is like a city wall on the water, and the soldiers and horses can walk on the ground!"
"Most of Liu Bei's soldiers are from the north. 11 This chain-link boat just helps him solve the weakness of the people in the north who are not used to the rough wind and waves. Liu Bei will definitely adopt it happily."
"When his warships are connected and we launch a fire attack again, in a hurry, can he still unlock his warships and disperse them before the fire ships hit us?"
Zhou Yu was eloquent while he took a pen and paper and drew a picture of a row of boats. The more
Huang Gai and others looked at it, the more surprised they became, and the worries on their faces gradually disappeared.
"Wonderful, this plan of connecting a boat with an iron chain is simply brilliant!"
"Then Liu Bei thought he had a clever plan to facilitate water battles, but how could he have expected that he would shoot himself in the foot!"
"Gongjin, Gongjin, you really gave me an unexpected surprise!"
Huang Gai was so impressed that he was deeply impressed by Zhou Yu again.
Lu Su's concerns were relieved and he was speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence,
Lu Su couldn't help but remind him:
"Gong Jin's plan is indeed flawless and exquisite."
"But I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. After all, Deng Mu’s scheming and scheming are unfathomable."
"I'm worried that our plan is so complicated. If there is any flaw in any link, Deng Mu will find out.——"
Before Lu Su finished speaking.
Huang Gai waved his hand, interrupting his worries, and said displeasedly:
"I said Lu Zijing, you are almost as afraid of Deng Mu, right?"
"Yes, he is indeed cunning and cunning, and he is a rare strategist in this world."
"But after all, he is made of flesh and blood, not an omniscient god."
"Gong Jin's series of clever schemes are unpredictable and rare in the world!"
"I don’t believe it, so Deng Mu can still see it"
"If he can really see through it, just let me, Huang Gai, drown in the Yangtze River!"
At this time, Huang Gai had no doubts about Zhou Yu.
He even risked his own life to defy Zhou Yu.
When it came to this matter, how could Lu Su dare to be"crow's mouth" again, so he had to Silently closed his mouth
"Gong Jin, who do you think is the right person to send to this second person who pretended to surrender?"
Huang Gai finished talking to Lu Su and then returned to the topic.
Zhou Yu already had a candidate in mind and said without thinking:
"In my opinion, it would be most appropriate for Kuai Yue to pretend to surrender."
Kuai Yue?
Several people looked at each other, obviously no one expected that Zhou Yu would recommend this person.
"Although this man supported Liu Cong and continued to be Liu Bei's enemy, after the fall of Jiangling, many members of the Kuaiyue clan fell into Liu Bei's hands."
"Commander, if you entrust him with such an important task, what should you do if Kuai Yue, thinking about the safety of his family, takes the opportunity to break away from Liu Cong and actually joins Liu Bei?"
Zhu Zhi obviously did not trust Kuai Yue.
Huang Gai also echoed
"If Kuai Yue really wanted to fall over to Liu Bei, he would have already done so when Jiangling city was destroyed and Liu Biao died."
"Why did he still support Liu Cong as the leader and protect Liu Cong to seek refuge with Bo Fu?"
"The reason is very simple, just profit."
"When Liu Bei conquered Jingzhou, he relied heavily on people from a humble family like Deng Mu and Wenpin and other Jingzhou small families. He suppressed the two powerful families of Kuai and Cai."
"Therefore, even if Kuai Yue turns to Liu Bei, Liu Bei will not be able to reuse him, and the Kuai family will not be able to return to the glory of Liu Biao's period."
"He was unwilling to accept the decline of the Kuai family, so he wanted to support Liu Cong and continue to be Liu Bei's enemy."
"As long as we use Bo Fu's name and promise that after we capture Jingzhou, we will let him continue to be Jingzhou's best friend, and we will follow Liu Biao's example and appoint Kuai's children to hold important positions in the state and county."
"With such a temptation that plays into his own hands, are you still afraid that Kuai Yue will defect in the face of battle and join Liu Bei?"
Zhou Yu had a sarcastic sneer on his face and analyzed Kuai Yue's situation and thoughts clearly.
Everyone suddenly understood. Huang Gai couldn't help but raised his thumb and praised:
"Gongjin, your ability of insight has really opened my eyes."
"Yes, this Kuai Yue is the perfect candidate to implement your chain-link plan!"
No one had any objections.
Zhou Yu smiled lightly, waved his hands and said:
"Then please invite Kuai Yidu to come and talk about it."
…
It's the middle of winter and the weather is getting colder.
Liu Bei braved the cold wind to inspect the water camp and comforted the soldiers who were practicing in the cold wind.
After freezing for most of the day, I finally returned to my tent and was finally able to sit around the fire and drink a glass of warm wine.
"Ziyu, it has been many days since Huang Gai surrendered, why haven't Zhou Yu taken any action yet?"
"Could it be that we exposed a flaw and made him wary? Liu
Bei asked while sipping the warm wine.
Deng Mu finished the glass of wine, but smiled and comforted:
"Lord, don't be anxious, Zhou Lang is still one step away from using the iron chain to connect the boat with the boat, so how can he launch a fire attack now?"
The plan of connecting the boat with the iron chain?
Liu Bei's wine glass hung on his lips, and his eyes couldn't help but become confused and suspicious.
Zhuge Liang, who was shivering from the cold, also had a strange expression on his face.
"Ziyu, what is iron?——"
"I would like to report to my lord that there is a scribe crossing the river on the south bank. He claims to be Xiangyang Kuai Yue and wants to see my lord!"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Chen arrived and entered the account, interrupting Liu Bei's question.
Kuai Yue.
This name really surprised Lao Liu.
Kuai Yue, Liu Biao's right-hand man at the time, The second general Heng Ha is as famous as Cai Mao.
He was a die-hard member who was unwilling to surrender after Liu Biao's death. He would rather leave his hometown with Liu Cong and defect to Sun Ce. Why did Liu
Bei suddenly come to Jiangbei at this juncture and throw himself into a trap?
Show that you don’t understand
"I was still thinking about who Zhou Yu would send, but I didn’t expect that he would choose Kuai Yue."
"Zhou Yu, you are also very imaginative..."
Deng Mu's eyes also showed surprise.
However, his surprise was completely different from Liu Bei's.
"Ziyu, why do you think Kuai Yue came to see me all of a sudden?"
Old Liu asked Deng Mu suspiciously.
Deng Mu rolled his eyes and said:
"I expect that this Kuai Yue must have come to surrender to the lord. The lord just accepts him and surrenders first."[]
Liu Bei was dubious and had no choice but to order Kuai Yue to be brought in.
Not long after.
The former number one counselor in Jingzhou stepped into the tent with complicated emotions.
The moment he saw Liu Bei, Kuai Yue was shocked, and hatred immediately burned in his heart.
Thinking about the Kuai family, they were originally sitting firmly at the top of the Jingzhou family.
As the head of the Kuai family, he is even more powerful, almost ruling the sky in Jingzhou with one hand.
It was Liu Bei in front of him who personally forced him from the top civil servant in Jingzhou to a bereaved dog, pushing the Kuai clan into the abyss of decline.
When mortal enemies met, how could Kuai Yue not hate him?
Take a deep breath.
But he suppressed this hatred, forced a smile on his face, and respectfully held his hands in his hands:
"Xiangyang Kuai Yue visited Liu Jingzhou."
Liu Jingzhou seemed to have expressed his intention to surrender.
Liu Bei couldn't help but glance at Deng Mu and thought that Deng Mu had guessed it. This Kuai Yue had indeed come to surrender.
"Kuai Yidu, you didn't assist Liu Cong on the south bank and help Sun Ce become my enemy, but why did you come to me? Liu
Bei asked calmly.
Kuai Yue let out a long sigh, with a look of bitterness and helplessness on his face.
"When Jing Shenggong died, Kuai Yue understood that Liu Jingzhou was your destiny, and you were destined to be the master of Jingzhou."
"Unexpectedly, when Duke Jing Sheng passed away, he asked me to help his second son, Liu Cong, to inherit the position of Jingzhou Shepherd."
"The more I felt grateful for Jing Shenggong's kindness, I had no choice but to continue to support Liu Cong in succeeding to the throne."
"Unexpectedly, Liu Cong had no integrity and shamelessly defected to Sun Ce, and even tried to take back Jingzhou with Sun Ce's help."
"The more times I tried to persuade him, he just refused to listen."
"Now Yue finally came to his senses and decided not to make any more mistakes. He just decided to abandon Liu Cong and cross the river to plead guilty to Liu Jingzhou."
"I hope Liu Jingzhou will be magnanimous and give me, Kuai Yue, a chance to make up for his mistakes and serve Liu Jingzhou."
As he spoke, Kuai Yue burst into tears and knelt down to Liu Bei with a face full of shame.
Deng Mu smiled.
Zhu Zhi was impassioned before, but now Kuai Yue is in tears again.
Zhou Yu really has a vision, and the people he sent are all movie stars....
Looking at Kuai Yue kneeling down to plead guilty, Liu Bei frowned.
If it were him who abused benevolence and righteousness in the past, he would have been moved by Kuai Yue's tearful performance.
Now, he has passed through Deng Mu, a man who is both a minister and a teacher. His teachings are no longer as simple as they used to be.
He was dubious about Kuai Yue's explanation.
But thinking of Deng Mu's warning in advance, Liu Bei rolled his eyes slightly, and a surprise appeared on his face. Extreme expression
"Xeno, you finally figured it out!"
"Okay, okay, it's really great. I've been waiting for you to come and submit to me for a long time, and now I finally got my wish."
Liu Bei hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to help Kuai Yue up with his own hands.
Seeing Liu Bei's deep trust in him and treating him with courtesy, Kuai Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with an imperceptible sneer on his lips.
At that moment, Liu Bei started a banquet. Warmly welcome Kuai Yue's return
"The more I heard that Cao Cao was attacking Wancheng, I thought the war in Nanyang was tight."
"If Nanyang loses, Xiangyang will face Cao Cao's army."
"Why doesn't the Lord fight a decisive battle with Zhou Yu as soon as possible so that he can repel Jiangdong's army and return to Wancheng to save Wancheng as soon as possible?"
Kuai Yue pretended to be concerned and asked knowingly.
Liu Bei sighed softly and said helplessly:
"Bei also wanted to fight quickly and defeat the Jiangdong Army as soon as possible so that he could return to Shiwan City."
"But you also know that our navy only has more than 10,000 people. Most of the navy soldiers who are being trained are from the north. They are not used to water and the rough waves on the river."
"In this case, how could Sun Ce be the opponent of Jiangdong Navy?"
After listening to Liu Bei's confession, Kuai Yue pretended to be thoughtful.
After a moment,
Kuai Yue's eyes flashed and he hurriedly said:
"My lord, Yue has thought of a way. Maybe my lord's soldiers from the North can fight against Jiangdong's army without fear of the storm on the river!"
Liu Bei was initially dubious about Kuai Yue's coming to surrender.
But when Kuai Yue claimed that he could help him solve the problem that his soldiers were not used to the rough weather, he couldn't help but perked up.
"I would like to hear the details if there are any good strategies in the alien world!"
Liu Bei was full of expectations at that moment and asked impatiently.
Kuai Yue picked up the chopsticks and gently placed them between the two wine glasses.
"This warship, whether it is a fighting ship or a building ship, will inevitably be bumpy on the river."
"But the lord can connect two, three, or even five or eight warships with iron ropes, and then add wooden boards on top to form this iron rope boat!"
"In this case, no matter how strong the wind and waves are on the river, the boat will be as stable as land."
"On this boat, the soldiers not only no longer experience bumps, they can even gallop forward and move as if they were walking on flat ground!"
"In this case, are you still afraid that you won't be able to defeat the Jiangdong navy?"
Kuai Yue looked confident and told his plan unhurriedly.
"A chain-link boat?"
"Ziyu Shicai once said that Zhou Yu's plan of connecting boats with iron ropes is useless."
"Could it be that this is the strategy proposed by Kuai Yue?"
Liu Bei looked shocked. He suddenly looked back and looked at Deng Mu in surprise.
