    Wulin, also known as 'Wulinji', is a stretch of rolling hills, located on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, in the southwest corner of Jiangxia County. Not far from its downstream is the famous Sanjiangkou, where the Jiangdong troops were stationed, and E was guarded.  Yangtze River channel!

    In the 10th year of Jian'an - the seventh day of the first lunar month, Cao's army of more than 400,000 troops marched by land and water and arrived at Wulin one after another, and then camped close to the river, connected for dozens of miles in front and back - flags flying during the day and lights twinkling at night!

    For a time, in the small Jiangxia County, there were actually gathered the wisest commanders, the bravest generals, the most brilliant counselors, and the most elite horse, infantry, and navy troops at that time, known as the fight between the dragon and the tiger, the stormy meeting!

    Cao¡¯s army of more than 400,000 troops was stationed in Wulin and Huarong, and controlled the southwest of Jiangxia County!

    Jiangdong¡¯s 80,000 troops were stationed at Xiakou and Sanjiangkou, controlling the southeastern part of Jiangxia County!

    Liu Bei and Liu Qi¡¯s 40,000 troops were stationed in Xiling City and controlled the northern part of Jiangxia County!

    The three parties stand together and compete with each other for wits and courage. The outcome of this battlefield will determine the general trend of the world and the fate of countless people!

    On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the rear army led by Xiao Yi also arrived near Wulin. The reason why they arrived late was because during the march, Xiao Yi ordered three days of repairs and celebrated the 'New Year's Day' with the soldiers.  Raising camp!

    What is even more strange is that the Xuanjia Army, the Falling Camp, the Danyang Army, and the Dizi Army did not camp on the banks of the Yangtze River. Instead, they retreated more than ten miles north and chose an open place to set up camp!

    After the camp was set up, Xiao Yi issued an order, and all the officers and men worked together to clear away all the trees, thorns, and weeds inside and outside the camp. They also dug three trenches around the camp and attracted nearby people.  Stream!

    Since ancient times, when armies set up camp, they must choose a place close to mountains, rivers, and lush vegetation. In this way, the soldiers can be defended in danger, and it is easy for the men and horses to get water. Xiao Yi is a veteran general on the battlefield, but he suddenly went in the opposite direction. Many generals in Cao's camp were dumbfounded.  !

    But after more than ten years of fighting, the generals all understand that everything Da Sima does must have a profound meaning. As long as everyone follows suit, they will definitely not suffer!

    As a result, generals Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan also reorganized the camp, removing vegetation inside, digging trenches outside, and introducing water from the Yangtze River. After hearing this, Cao Cao also had people dig several holes around the base camp.  What a trench!

    "Boom!¡ª¡ªBoom! Boom!"

    Next, Cao Cao beat drums to gather his generals, discuss matters in the big tent, and discuss specific tactics. Facing the coalition forces of Sun and Liu, how to divide and disintegrate them and defeat them one by one!

    "The athletes from the north, who are not used to fighting on the water, have no chance of winning against Zhou Yu on the river. It is better to attack Liu Bei first and eliminate a serious problem!"

    "Liu Bei has been defeated repeatedly in battles, so there is nothing to worry about. Zhou Yu is in charge of 80,000 troops and is guarding the Yangtze River artery. This is our innermost worry!"

    "Mr. Shi Yuan has repeatedly obstructed me. Could it be that he is having an affair with Liu Bei? His chief military advisor, Kong Ming, is your classmate and friend!"

    "Da Sima and Jiangdong Mingzhu - Sun Shangxiang, have the same close relationship. It's not just a secret communication about the music, but a deep affection, right?"

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In the camp of Cao's army - the Chinese army's tent, Xiao Yi and Pang Tong sat opposite each other, arguing endlessly because the two had a fierce conflict in tactics!

    Xiao Yi advocated attacking Liu Bei first, eliminating the threat from the flanks of the army, occupying the northern part of Jiangxia County, and then forming a confrontation across the river with Zhou Yu's troops, using the advantages in military and material resources to consume the opponent alive!

    As for the attack on Liu Bei, Xiao Yi took the initiative to ask for help. Although the big-eared bandits were defeated again and again, they still had more than 40,000 troops. Kong Ming and Xu Shu were under his command, and Wu Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun commanded the troops. Their strength  It should not be underestimated. If other generals go there, they may not be their opponents!

    Pang Tong had the opposite opinion. He believed that Cao Ying should concentrate his forces to attack the Jiangdong Army on the opposite side. As for Liu Bei stationed in Xiling City, there was no need to pay attention to him at all. The reason is very simple: Zhou Yu is strong and Liu Bei is weak!

    If he attacks Liu Bei, Zhou Yu is powerful and will definitely send troops to rescue him. Cao Jun will dispatch troops to deal with the two enemies at the same time!

    On the contrary, if Liu Bei attacks Zhou Yu's army, Liu Bei is very weak and can only barely protect himself, and has no spare power to support him. Cao Jun will have to deal with an enemy!

    As long as Zhou Yu's army is eliminated, the six counties in Jiangdong will be at your fingertips. At that time, Liu Bei will be defeated without a fight. He will either surrender or flee into the wilderness!

    The two were quarreling and refusing to give in to each other. They argued for more than an hour, and the roof of the big tent almost broke down. There was no winner or loser. Faced with this,In such a situation, Cao Cao was both happy and worried, and his mood was complicated!

    Fortunately, Pang Tong is worthy of being a phoenix, and his strategies, methods, and eloquence are all outstanding. With him to control Xiao Yi, I feel more at ease!

    What is worrying is that now that the war is imminent, a fierce conflict has occurred between the two important ministers, which will inevitably have a negative impact on the subsequent war!

    What is even more difficult is that the tactics stated by the two men each have their own reasons and advantages, but they all seem to be mixed with selfishness, making it difficult to decide, who is better and who is worse?

    Frankly speaking, Xiao Yi's "Liu first, then Sun" tactic is more in line with the current battle situation. Cao Cao is definitely impatient and not confused at all. He knows that his troops are all "landlubbers", so he rashly competes with the dragon on the water.  Good fruit to eat!

    But in the long run, you must support Pang Tong and restrict Xiao Yi's power to ensure the stability of the Cao family. This means you must support Pang Tong and give him the opportunity to make contributions and establish his personal prestige!

    Otherwise, without enough military exploits to match, Pang Tong would not be able to sit in a high position even if he was talented, let alone restrain Xiao Yi. But if he attacks Jiangdong Army first, there is really no guarantee of victory!

    Therefore, Cao Cao considered repeatedly and adopted a compromise strategy. The main force stayed in Wulin to fight Zhou Yu across the river, and another force was sent to attack Liu Bei's army!

    As for the commander-in-chief, it was definitely not Xiao Yi. Instead, Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan were sent with 80,000 troops to attack Xiling City, the seat of Jiangxia County!

    Worried that they would not be able to defeat Kong Ming and Xu Shu, they also sent counselor Liu Ye to accompany them. They did not seek a quick victory, but only needed to use double the force to contain Liu Bei's group. Sun and Liu could not join forces, which was the best situation.  Got it!

    "Although Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong, the elite soldiers and generals of the six counties, as well as large and small warships, are all under Zhou Yu's control. They are known as white jade pillars holding up the sky and purple gold beams bridging the sea!

    Why don't the Prime Minister send an envoy across the river to meet Zhou Gongjin, and ask him to lead 80,000 troops across the river to obey Zhou Gongjin? In this way, the six counties in Jiangdong can be easily conquered without spending a single soldier.  !  "

    Seeing that he had the upper hand, Pang Tong came up with another plan - to lure the enemy commander to surrender, and then looked at Xiao Yi across the way, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes - a greedy wolf on a rope is worse than a guard dog!

    "Zhou Gongjin is a rare good general with both civil and military skills and a great reputation in Jiangdong. If he is willing to submit to me, he will be treated with the courtesy of a national scholar, and his glory and wealth will be preserved, and he will be granted a wife and son!"

    Cao Cao was naturally interested in capturing the six counties of Jiangdong without spending a single soldier. He personally took the pen in his hand and wrote a sincere letter. In order for Zhou Yu to surrender, he also listed four conditions:

    First, Zhou Yu was granted the titles of Yangzhou Mu and Lujiang Township Marquis, with a settlement of 15,000 households. His descendants would be hereditary and he would live with the country!

    Secondly, Cao Cao betrothed his young daughter, Cao Ping, to Zhou Yu's eldest son, Zhou Xun, and the two became friends of Qin and Jin, and their children were in-laws!

    Third, all Jiangdong generals who surrendered still commanded their troops and were promoted to the first level of nobility. Those who did not want to be officials could receive a large amount of property and go home and live in seclusion with peace of mind!

    Fourth, after Cao Jun occupied Jiangdong, he did not kill anyone or rob anything. He treated the Sun clan well and allowed them to have food and clothing. They also offered sacrifices to Sun Ce's tomb at all times!

    It can be said that in order to successfully recruit Zhou Yu, Cao Cao not only spent money, but also put great thought into it, including official affairs, personal friendship, reputation he considered everything. Even a hard-hearted person should be tempted, right?

    After the letter was written and stamped with the golden seal of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, an envoy was still needed to complete the job. Cao Cao thought about it and immediately sent someone to summon Jiang Qian:

    "For one thing, Jiang Qian and Zhou Yu are both from Lujiang. They have the feeling of being from the same hometown and classmates, so it is easier for them to talk!

    Secondly, Jiang Gan was extremely eloquent. He visited various places many times and lobbied the princes from all over the world. He was a capable envoy who could not be compared with others!

    Regarding the matter of surrendering, Xiao Yi said nothing and just sneered lightly. If Zhou Yu will surrender, it will be because the sun has risen from the north. Cao Cao will probably bring shame on himself by doing this!

    But when he heard about the choice of envoy, his eyes turned, and he secretly summoned Dian Wei, asking him to tell Jiang Qian immediately that he must not accept this errand, otherwise he would be killed!

    "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, after hearing the news, Mr. Ziyi was eager to come to the Chinese army's tent. He accidentally fell off his horse and broke a leg. He was taken to the back camp for treatment!"

    "In that case, let Ziyi rest in peace and cultivate himself, and send someone else across the river to lobby!"

    A moment later, soldiers came to report that Jiang Gan suddenly fell from his horse and was injured. Not to mention crossing the river to be a lobbyist, he couldn't even walk now!

    In desperation, Cao Cao had no choice but to send another envoy, carrying letters and generous gifts, to cross the river on a speedboat to persuade Zhou Yu Faced with such temptation, what choice did Zhou Yu make?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?A speedboat crossed the river to lobby Zhou Yu Faced with such temptation, what choice did Zhou Yu make?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
