"Report, King Wei! A large number of enemies appeared near Yicheng!"

A soldier reported to Cao Cao urgently.

"A lot of enemies? How many?"

Cao Cao frowned and asked. There was movement on Lu Bu just now, and it was a bit too coincidental.

"According to the frontline, it is as much as 20,000!"

Soldiers reported.

"Twenty thousand? Go and report this to King Wu and King Chu!"

Cao Cao nodded. Twenty thousand people can only be considered a vanguard force. If there are only such a few people, there is still time to prepare, but we can use this matter to urge Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

The news of Lu Bu's army's abnormal movement immediately made Sun Quan and Liu Bei nervous. In just one day, the army successfully gathered near Wulin.

Wulin, the huge military camp and water camp were soon established, and the middle of the camp was the Central Military Camp.

"Meet the commander-in-chief!"

Fifty generals clasped their fists at Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Liu Ye and Lu Su in the north direction.

"Dear generals, please sit down!"

Zhou Yu said loudly that he originally wanted to regard himself as a commander-in-chief. In his opinion, the military advisor should naturally be called the commander-in-chief, but Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not recognize this official position and were only willing to call him the commander-in-chief.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhou Yu understood the various things. If it was the Grand Commander, it would be the three parties who recognized his identity. He would have this identity no matter where he was in the future. But a so-called commander-in-chief is different. This is not an official position, but just a title. When the war is over and the coalition forces disperse, the commander-in-chief will no longer exist.

"My generals, there is a report on the front line. Lu Bu's vanguard troops have arrived in Yicheng."

Zhou Yu said this news that had spread, but the generals were not panicked at all. The 150,000 troops and 50 generals were together, and the confidence was enough.

"Now the army is stationed in Wulin, with Yunmengze in front of us as an obstacle, but we cannot let Lu Bu fight so smoothly. To the south of Yicheng are Changban, Dangyang, Huarong, and Hanjinkou. These places cannot be directly posted to Lu Bu. What do you think?"

Zhou Yu looked at the other four deputy commanders. Although he was the commander-in-chief, he could really command the soldiers of Jiangdong. If he touched the others, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi would have to agree. This was Cao Cao's technique of checking and balance.

"Since you can't let it go to Lu Bu, then send someone to garrison."

Liu Ye said, "They didn't have any suggestions for Zhou Yu to spread the situation. The 150,000 troops were not required to be around Wulin. The war must be fought around the entire Yunmengze."

"Dangyang and Changban are close to Jiangling City. I recommend five generals, Guan Yu, Huo Jun, Feng Xi, Jian Yong and Mi Fang, to guard!"

Zhuge Liang said at the right time that the two cities of Dangyang and Changban were barriers to Jiangling, so he naturally did not want to give up, and he was even more worried about letting others stay, so it was the most at ease if he was his own.

"Hanjinkou has always been the garrison of my army. I recommend Wenpin, Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan to garrison!"

Liu Ye also spoke.

"Okay, then Guan Yu, Huo Jun, Feng Xi, Jian Yong, and Mi Fang led 15,000 troops to guard Changban, Dangyang, Wenpin, Jiao Chu, and Zhang Nan led 4,000 naval troops and 4,000 infantry soldiers, and a total of 8,000 troops to guard Hanjinkou."

"As for Huarong, there are Huang Gai, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai who are explaining the lakes and swamps nearby, leading 8,000 naval troops to guard the enemy by relying on the water to moor a reed marsh."

Seeing that the other two sides had spoken, Zhou Yu ordered that Huang Gai was a veteran and had rich experience in marching and combat. Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai had both experience as water bandits and were most proficient in fighting in reed marshes in lakes.

"Here!"

The generals whose names were named stood up to receive the order.

After the defense was arranged, Zhou Yu and the generals discussed how to fight afterwards. They needed to have a detailed strategic layout, and finally reported this to Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

After discussing the military, everyone returned to the camp.

"Military advisor, I don't have much trouble in the camp, so why don't I go back to find my elder brother first!"

Zhang Fei said to Zhuge Liang with some dissatisfaction that he was a little dissatisfied with not going out to lead troops to fight. There were many people in the military camp, and Lu Bu was not short of him in the future. It would be better to go find the eldest brother first.

"General Zhang cannot. Now that the army has gathered, a series of training will be carried out later. The general must not leave!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Now they have sent out five generals, and the rest cannot leave at will."

"What are you training? We are west, Zhou Yu and others are stationed by the river and lake, Cao Cao's people are in the east, and they all live in their own hands and train together? Besides, who trains whom? They want to train me? First ask about the snake spear in my hand!"

Zhang Fei said hummingly, he wanted to leave because of this. With his arrogance, how could others stand the point of attacking others? How many people in the entire military camp have more combat experience than him?

Zhuge Liang was helpless. He sent Guan Yu out because of this concern. Guan Yu was arrogant. If he was in seniority, no one in the army could match him. In terms of martial arts, he was the best. Now it seems that it is not only Guan Yu, but Zhang Fei is also a problem.

"General Zhang, now General Guan is leading troops out, and only the generals are in charge in this army. If the general leaves again, no one in the army will take on the main throne and will inevitably be bullied by others. Wouldn't this have deteriorated the reputation of the lord? Please put the overall situation first!"

Zhuge Liang whispered Zhang Fei, but could only persuade Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who was a very arrogant and arrogant general.

"That's true, it's true that the eldest brother is not here, the second brother goes to the front line, and it's up to me to keep the military camp!"

Zhang Fei understood this and kept nodding and saying it made sense. He was old and the new Zhuge Liang could not help but stop him.

"Okay, I'll stay in the barracks!"

Zhang Fei patted his chest and agreed.

...

After the three armies left, Zhou Yu began to train troops. He mainly practiced the naval army formation. In his opinion, the battle with Lu Bu would eventually be a winner on the water. He would defeat the enemy with his own strengths. He would not be able to fight Lu Bu on land.

"Sima Zhongda, how is my formation?"

Zhou Yu looked at Sima Yi and asked, "Since the coalition forces gathered, Liu Ye has always expressed his opinions on Cao Cao. Sima Yi was very silent. In his impression, Sima Yi said at most three or five sentences a day.

"Zhou Gongjin's naval army formation is eye-catching, and I benefit a lot!"

Sima Yi replied.

"What does Kong Ming think?"

Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang again.

“It seems that the mix is ​​quite good at the moment!”

Zhuge Liang replied with a smile, it is very good that Sanbo people can train like this in a short period of time.

"However, this tactic can only be used in the big rivers and lakes. If it is in the waters of the north of the Yangtze River, it will probably be restricted. At least this tower ship cannot enter."

Zhuge Liang pointed at the tower ship in the river again.

"The tower ship is for the soldiers to practice cooperation, and then replace it with smaller warships in the future!"
