Cao Yu found Xiahou Dun and requested to enter Jiangling City.
Xiahou Dun agreed without thinking.
Cao Yu immediately mounted his horse and galloped towards the city.
After entering the city, Cao Yu suddenly had a thought.
No, he might not be able to see Cao Cao!
After all, Cao Yu was only a Lieutenant General under Xiahou Dun.
"Yes, look for the old general!"
Cao Yu suddenly thought of this logistics manager.
Thus, he headed straight for a certain mansion.
He had been waiting in the mansion for a long time.
This was the place where the old general had hosted a banquet for him last time.
After the time for three incense sticks to burn.
Cao Yu finally saw the old general.
"Zixiu, the battle is about to start. Why didn't you wait for orders in the stronghold?”
Cao Cao asked Cao Yu.
Cao Yu explained,"From midnight to the day after tomorrow, there will be a strong southeast wind!"”
"Old General, please tell the Prime Minister to take precautions in advance.”
"Send more men to patrol the river ten miles away from the water stronghold and intercept the ships coming and going.”
"Otherwise, when the wind blows, our water stockade will be reduced to a sea of fire!”
If he remembered correctly.
Within these two days, Huang Gai would drive a boat filled with fish oil and sulfur to the northern army to feign surrender.
"Zixiu, it's the middle of winter," Cao Cao was stunned."How can there be a southeast wind?"”
When he was walking here, the northwest wind on the long street made Cao Cao's face hurt.
Cao Yu made up an excuse." When I was wandering outside, I met a strange person in the mountains.”
"This person taught me the Qimen Dun Jia Heavenly Book.”
Cao Yu didn't know anything about Qimen Dunjia.
He only knew that if the northern army was not prepared, once the southeast wind blew…
Everything was over!
During this period of time, Cao Yu had been in the North Stronghold, so he had long known the composition of the soldiers nearby.
They were all Jingzhou soldiers who had surrendered.
This group of people could not compare to the elite troops stationed north of Xiangyang.
Even the Qing and Xu troops in the water stockade were all new recruits. They were probably pulled here to train.
Even though the two Xia Hou, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and the five generals were all here.
However, they could not withstand the trash soldiers under them.
Once the water stronghold caught fire, the morale of the army would be in turmoil.
At that time, the army would be defeated like a landslide.
Could he still count on this group of weak soldiers to turn the tide?
After Cao Cao heard Cao Yu's words, he was skeptical.
He kept silent.
Cao Yu tried to persuade him again.
"Old General, planning for defeat before victory is a long-term plan.”
"If there is really a southeast wind, what will our army do?”
asked Cao Yu.
Seeing that the other party had yet to speak, Cao Yu directly took out a map.
He spread it out on the table.
"If I were the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong Army," he said.”
"Kill Cai Zhong and Cai He, seize the troops that he used to feign surrender, and use the northern army's banner to head straight for Wulin.”
Wulin was where the northern army stored their rations.
"Send another army to Huangzhou to cut off the reinforcements of the northern troops.”
"In addition, send an army to Wulin to receive them. Also, send people to cut off the boundary of Yiling and coordinate with the army of Wulin.”
Cao Yu was extremely familiar with the process of the Battle of Red Cliff.
It was like he was repeating everything.
"He also ordered an army to attack Hanyang and take the Hanchuan road to Jiangling.”
"Then arrange for someone to pretend to surrender to the Prime Minister. They will fill the ship with fire and burn the ship when they get close.”
"In the end, I led the three armies and charged over to support them.”
"May I ask, how can the northern army resist?"
Cao Yu explained the arrangements of the Jiangdong Army in one breath.
As for Liu Bei's arrangements, he had yet to speak.
However, Cao Yu knew that as long as the old general approved of these words, he would report back to Cao Cao.
With Cao Cao's outstanding vision, he would definitely be able to guess Liu Bei's arrangements.
What need was there to say?
Cao Cao looked at the map for a while and then connected it to what Cao Yu had said.
The hall was silent.
Half an incense's time later.
"Zixiu, go back to your camp and bring 3,000 black-armored cavalry to Jiangling for the Prime Minister's orders," Cao Cao said.”
If they wanted to counter the strategy of the Jiangdong Army, using cavalry on land was the fastest.
Cao Cao had other arrangements for the water stronghold.
"Here!"
Seeing that the old general had taken his words in, Cao Yu immediately felt relieved.
He galloped out of the city and returned to the North Stronghold.
Less than 15 minutes after Cao Yu left.
Cao Cao summoned Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, and the other strategists.
When the strategists heard that they had to come up with another plan to prevent the sudden situation caused by the southeast wind.
Everyone was shocked.
"Prime Minister, in the middle of winter, how can there be east wind and south wind?”
Liu Ye asked in surprise.
Cao Cao waved his hand." Just treat it as if he does. Immediately analyze the strategy of the southern army!"”
The hall instantly became lively.
The strategists expressed their opinions.
Cao Cao suddenly realized that what the strategists said was almost the same as what Cao Yu had said before.
It was almost the same!
This made Cao Cao secretly shocked, Zi Xiu actually had such outstanding foresight!
"Immediately discuss the counterattack arrangements!"
Cao Cao ordered.
The generals on standby were Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Yu Jin, and Zang Ba.
And Cao Yu, who was about to rush over from the North Stronghold.
The rest of the generals had their own missions.
In the main hall.
Although there were many strategists, Cao Cao had a decisive personality and was not as indecisive as Yuan Shao.
Therefore, he quickly drew up a strategic deployment to deal with the sudden situation of the southeast wind.
"Pass down the order. All the generals have their own duties and cannot make any mistakes!”
Cao Cao shouted.
Dozens of messengers ran out of the city and went to the villages to deliver orders.
……
That day.
Night fell.
Unknowingly, it was already midnight.
The wind blew outside and Zhou Yu came out to check.
The horn of the flag fluttered in the northwest direction.
The southeast wind blew!
"Let's get rid of Zhuge Liang first…" Zhou Yu was alarmed.
