Zhuge Liang's face turned pale as he listened to Zhou Yu's reprimand, but he had nothing to say.
He had never expected Cao Cao's camp to prepare rockets in advance.
They didn't earn any arrows. Instead, they lost 20 ships and 600 soldiers.
Coupled with the fact that he had made a military pledge, it was difficult for a hundred people to argue.
How could Cao Jun have so many rockets?
"Men, push Kong Ming out and kill him!”
Zhou Yu waved his hand.
"Wait!"
Lu Su hurriedly said.
"It's not appropriate to kill a general in the face of battle!"
He tried to persuade Zhou Yu.
"Although Imperial Uncle has just been defeated, he has already formed an alliance with our army.”
"Guan Yunchang still leads ten thousand elite soldiers, and Liu Qi's Jiangxia soldiers are no less than ten thousand.”
"If you kill Zhuge Liang, Imperial Uncle will turn against you and join Cao Cao in a fit of anger.”
Lu Su asked Zhou Yu to consider it carefully.
After all, many years ago, Liu Bei had been under Cao Cao for a period of time.
If they were forced into a corner, it was not impossible for them to vote for Cao Cao again.
"The deeper the hatred between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, how can he join Cao Cao's camp?”
Zhou Yu immediately retorted.
"Even if he doesn't," said Lu Su,"if he turns south and goes to Jiaozhou, he will be able to escape.”
"When the time comes, only my Jiang Dong will be left to fight alone. What can we do?”
Lu Su felt that he could still use Liu Bei and let him share some of the pressure.
"Why don't we record this crime and let Kong Ming redeem himself?”
Zhou Yu pondered for a long time.
After a while.
Zhou Yu nodded in agreement to Lu Su's suggestion.
"Leave the head for now and make up for it in the future.”
He snorted coldly and turned to leave.
"Kong Ming, don't worry too much.”
Lu Su advised.
Zhuge Liang sighed and remained silent for a long time.
If not for Lu Su pleading for mercy, he would probably lose his life today.
"I will remember Zijing's kindness."
……
In Jiangling City.
When Cao Cao learned that the frontline had used rockets to win a water battle, he was overjoyed.
"Good, very good!"
It turned out that the reason why Cao Yu was looking for kerosene saltpeter to make rockets was for today.
My son has great foresight.
For a moment, Cao Cao was extremely pleased.
After feeling satisfied.
He immediately summoned Xun You to discuss the upcoming battle.
Xun You suggested,"Why don't we send someone to Jiangdong to pretend to surrender and act as a spy? We can use this information to make plans again."”
Cao Cao heard this and nodded." That's exactly what I want. Who can do this?"”
"Cai Mao has been imprisoned by the Prime Minister," said Xun You, clasping his hands."His brothers Cai Zhong and Cai He are still serving in the army.”
"Prime Minister, you can use both kindness and power to send the two to Jiangdong to feign surrender.”
Xun You retreated to the side.
Cao Cao stroked his beard and thought for a while before sending people to summon Cai Zhong and Cai He.
When the two entered the tent, Cao Cao said,""Lead a small number of soldiers and sneak to River East to feign surrender.”
"But there are movements. Secretly send someone back to report.”
"After the matter is done, there will be a generous reward."
"If you have second thoughts, I will kill your family members.”
Cao Cao ordered.
The two prostrated themselves on the ground." My wife and children are all in Jingzhou. How dare they betray the Prime Minister?”
"The two of us will definitely take Zhou Yu's head and offer it to the Prime Minister.”
Cao Cao immediately rewarded them.
Immediately, the two of them brought 300 soldiers and crossed the river by boat, heading to the other side.
After that, Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to bring another reward to the North Stronghold to present to Cao Yu.
In the North village.
"Congratulations to Zixiu for being promoted to Lieutenant General."
Xu Chu congratulated him.
Cao Yu received his reward and cupped his hands in thanks before asking Xu Chu.
"General Chu, is there any reward for Xing Ba?”
Gan Ning hadn't known the enemy's numbers, but he had still dared to charge forward.
It would not make sense not to give out rewards.
"Don't worry, I've already rewarded you."
Xu Chu waved his hand.
Cao Yu asked," An hour ago, I saw two generals crossing the river with three hundred men. Why?"”
Xu Chu waved his hand.”
"Cai Zhong and Cai He?" Cao Yu was shocked.
Xu Chu widened his eyes.”
He didn't expect Cao Yu to be able to guess the person who pretended to surrender.
Could it be that they knew each other before?
"I guessed it."
Cao Yu made up a random excuse.
Was he going to tell Xu Chu that he was a soul from 1,800 years later?
"The Prime Minister has detained Cai Mao. The only remaining Cai generals in the army are Cai Zhong and Cai He.”
"If it's a fake surrender, these two are the most suitable.”
After Cao Yu's explanation, Xu Chu came to a realization.
So that was how he found out.
"This plan has miscalculated."
Cao Yu shook his head.
Xu Chu immediately focused his attention and asked Cao Yu.
"Zixiu, is there anything we missed out on?”
Cao Yu nodded." The river is far away, and it's extremely difficult for spies to travel. Cai Zhong and Cai He will be suspected if they go to River East without bringing their families.”
With Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's intelligence, they could react immediately.
"What should we do?" Xu Chu asked in surprise.
"Zhou Yu of River East might beat him at his own game," Cao Yu said with a smile.”
"Let the Prime Minister think of another plan."
Meanwhile, Xu Chu was confused by the idea of beating them at their own game.
No matter how much he asked Cao Yu, Cao Yu told Xu Chu to report to the old general of the Xiahou clan and then pass it on to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao would naturally understand!
This was a serious matter. After Xu Chu confirmed that he had remembered Cao Yu's words, he turned around and left.
In Jiangling City.
Xu Chu found Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister, the Eldest Young Master said that there was an oversight in your plan…"
