Zhou Yu didn't say anything for a long time. Instead of blaming Jiang Gan, he sheathed his sharp sword.

"My lord has not yet doubted me about eating the king's salary and being loyal to him. How can I doubt the lord? Most of what Ziyi said is based on rumors. You only learned this kind of intrigue in Xudu? Cao Cao's thieves can't defeat me with swords and guns. Now send us

The tongue of a single step?" Zhou Yu sneered.

Jiang Gan did not expect Zhou Yu to be so stubborn, so he shook his head and sighed: "Gong Jin's water battle is indeed unparalleled in the world, but can Jiangdong's warships reach the Central Plains from Nanyang? To be honest, Prime Minister Cao is about to go south for revenge, how can this little Xinye do it?"

Can you withstand it?"

"Hahaha, I'm still afraid that he won't come. Although Jiangdong's warships can't attack the Central Plains from Nanyang, as long as my lord captures Hefei, he can go north along the Huaisi River and attack the Central Plains. Even if I lose this new field,

No matter what, let alone Liu Xuande's allies in Jingzhou." Zhou Yu laughed wildly.

Jiang Qian didn't have such a strategic vision at all. Hearing Zhou Yu's words indeed made sense, he swallowed his saliva and stopped talking about surrender.

Zhou Yu stayed with Jiang Gan for one night, and returned to Xudu in despair the next day.

After Jiang Qian returned to Xudu, he said that Yu was elegant and noble, and could not be separated by words.

Cao Cao didn't have much hope for Jiang Qian's revenge. After some encouragement, he continued to prepare for the southern expedition. He ordered Xun Yu and Xiahou Dun to prepare food and fodder, and wait until the spring began to attack the new fields first and then to Jingzhou.

Although Zhou Yu said this, it was as if a seed had been thrown into his body, and it slowly began to sprout in his heart, making him restless for several days.

Seeing this, Lu Su asked: "Master Governor, what's bothering you?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, "I heard that Cao Cao is withdrawing his troops from Hefei. He will not sit back and watch Xiangfan being cut off by me. He may attack Xinye to save Cao Ren in the coming year. I am worried about next year's war..."

"After Cao Cao's defeat at Chibi, his military strength has been greatly reduced. If he really dares to attack Xinye, my lord will have a chance of winning if he attacks Hefei. As long as we withstand the pressure, my lord may be able to achieve great achievements." Lu Su was not worried but was happy.

"You and I can see this clearly. There are so many advisers in Cao Cao's tent, so they can definitely see it clearly. I always feel a little passive, not as happy as when I was in Chibi." Zhou Yu said lightly.

"The Governor can send more spies. If Cao Cao increases his troops in Hefei, we will continue to attack Xiangyang. If Cao Cao wants to go south to Xinye, let the lord attack Hefei fiercely. In a two-front battle, one side will always win." Lu Su analyzed.

"If the lord cannot conquer Hefei, and we cannot defend Xinye, what can we do?" Zhou Yu put forward a hypothesis.

"Isn't it possible? Cao Cao didn't have enough troops after the battle in Chibi, so it's impossible to divide his troops into two groups." Lu Su looked unconvinced.

"It's just a hypothesis, what do Zijing think?" Zhou Yu asked.

Lu Su thought for a long time, and then said leisurely: "The only way is to give up the Jingzhou battlefield to Liu Xuande, and then return to Jiangdong to focus on the Hefei battlefield..."

Zhou Yu raised his head and sighed: "Then we can only stay in Jiangdong, and Zijing's plan on the bed will be useless..."

Lu Su smiled bitterly and said: "Liu Xuande now occupies Jingzhou, and the policy on the bed is useless..."

"Liu Xuande's capture of Jingzhou is a shame for Jiangdong. How about we use Xinye's troops to capture Yizhou via Jiangling while his current military strength is still small?" Zhou Yu said whimsically.

Lu Su opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Yizhou is blocked by Jingzhou. Even if the governor takes Yizhou, it seems to be of no benefit to Jiangdong..."

Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously and said: "Hahaha, I really want to take Yizhou. When Cao Cao goes south to rescue Cao Ren, you can go to Jiangling to ask Liu Bei for help. When the soldiers from Jingzhou go north to fight Cao Cao, I will pretend to be defeated and take the route to Jiangling."

If we go to capture Yizhou, then Liu Bei will definitely leave the city to work with his troops. We will control him to capture Jiangling, and then occupy the entire Jingzhou. This is a false plan to attack Guo..."

"This...Although Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi, he is still strong and I am weak. If the alliance between Sun and Liu is destroyed, won't Jiangdong, I, face Cao's thieves alone?" Lu Su was shocked and speechless.

"If we take Jingzhou and then Yizhou, Zijing will be divided into two parts of the world. Do we still need to be afraid of Cao Cao at that time?" Zhou Yu patted his shoulder and said.

Lu Su shook his head and whispered: "I always feel a little unfair..."

"Zi Jing is a true and honest man. Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. At that time, Cao Cao's main force was dragged in Jingzhou, and my lord went north to capture Hefei. The world will soon be settled. It will not be too late to talk about benevolence and righteousness at that time." Zhou Yu said disdainfully.

.

"Well, this matter is serious and should be reported to the lord for discussion," Lu Su said.

Zhou Yu: "This is natural. Did Zijing know about the Yufan incident in Wu County some time ago? Lu Ziheng, Zhuge Ziyu was targeted by the scholars of Wu Hui. They never regarded us Jiangbei people as their own..."

"I'm used to it..." Lu Su smiled bitterly.

"So either conquer the old territory of Huaisi, or find a place for the Jiangbei soldiers to settle down..." Zhou Yu sighed.

Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu in awe, and he finally understood why the governor was so eager. The fundamental reason was that the current situation in Jiangdong was not harmonious, and the battle in Chibi had intensified.

"While I am resting in the winter, I would like to go back to Jiangdong to meet with the lord and inform the governor of the plan, so that the two fronts can fight together." Lu Su suggested.

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll write a letter and ask Zijing to bring it to the Lord."

Lu Su nodded and exited the hall, then went to pack his bags for his return home.

The cold wind was howling in Jiangdong in winter, and the officials and ministers of Wu County did not keep warm at home, but were busy moving to Moling.

Starting from the beginning of December, there was an endless stream of ships traveling between Wujun and Moling. Sun Quan changed Moling's name to Jianye and moved out of Wujun's den of right and wrong.

Since moving to Jianye, Sun Quan felt that he was one step closer to the Central Plains.

Lu Su sailed to Chaisang to deliver letters home to Zhou Yu. When he arrived there, he learned that Sun Quan had moved his government office. After bidding farewell to Xiao Qiao, he went down the river to Jianye.

Sun Quan was in a happy mood during this time, because most of the wealthy families in Wu County and Kuaiji stayed where they were, and only a few people came to Jianye. It felt wonderful to be able to freely control the political power. Now only the military power is still there

outer.

Sun Quan slowly regained the military power that originally belonged to him by appointing new general He Qi and personally leading troops to attack Hefei.

Lu Su came to Jianye to meet with Sun Quan and once again told him about the situation in the world that he and Zhou Yu had discussed. After hearing this, Sun Quan felt like he was looking down on the world.

Hit Hefei and enter the Central Plains.

Sun Quan wanted to achieve greater success than his father and brother.

But when Sun Quan read Zhou Yu's letter, he fell silent, because in the letter, the governor asked him for "instructions" to steal Jingzhou and take Yizhou.

Zhou Yu now holds the military power in Jiangdong, so there is no difference between asking for instructions and notifying him.

"My lord, do you think the governor's plan is feasible?" Lu Su asked.

Sun Quan was good at concealing his likes and dislikes, and he replied with a smile: "Gong Jin's plan is very good, but I ask him to stay in Xinye for a longer time, so that he can cooperate with me to capture Hefei."

Lu Su nodded, "That's what I mean too, but the Governor plans to use Liu Xuande to resist Cao Cao, so that he can take the opportunity to steal Jingzhou. I will convey the Lord's wishes after I return."
