Chapter 162 Chibi, Chibi
On the north bank of the Yangtze River, the Cao army camp was built in Chibi, while the coalition camp on the other side was Sanjiangkou. The two armies faced each other across the river. Although they were very calm for the time being, the people around had already felt the smoke of gunpowder. Everyone began to evacuate in all directions. Even the fish in the Yangtze River rarely emerged from the water. They were suppressed by the pre-war atmosphere and dared not come out.
Liu Bei led Zhuge Liang, Guan, Zhang and Zhao and others to Sanjiangkou, and stationed the army next to the Jiangdong army. Then Liu Bei brought Zhuge Liang, Guan and Zhang to meet Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu, as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Army, announced the military law of Jiangdong. There were no 64 beheadings, but there were many bans. The most important ones were: no disturbance to the people, no trace of property from the people, no borrowing the people's things must be returned, no drinking, no humiliating women, etc.
After listening to Jiangdong's specific military orders, Liu Bei found that Sun Quan seemed to care more about the image of the people than himself. Although his army was very good to the people, it could not do this. He also prohibited drinking and searched for women. This was difficult for soldiers who had not seen their wives during wars all year round, so Liu Bei could not do it all, but Sun Quan made it clear in the military law, indicating that Jiangdong's army could do it.
After hearing this, Zhang Fei said, "Can't we drink alcohol in our own camp?"
Zhou Yu said seriously: "You are fighting with us. How to enforce your military laws? I need to negotiate with my lord. After our lord arrives in a few days, there will naturally be a conclusion. But one thing is that the military rules about the people are absolutely not allowed to be violated. In your military camp, you can enforce them first according to your own military laws."
The news of the Sun-Liu Alliance also reached the Cao army's camp. Cao Cao was very happy after hearing the news. Cheng Yu asked in confusion: "Prime Minister, why are you so happy? Their strength has increased greatly after the Sun-Liu Alliance. If our army wants to defeat them, it will probably be more difficult."
Cao Cao laughed and said with disdain: "The alliance may not be stronger. In the past, the eighteen princes under Hulao Pass were extremely powerful, and they were many times stronger than Dong Zhuo's strength. But in the end, they were unable to wipe out Dong Zhuo. Is it for the sake of the gods?" Cao Cao looked at everyone, then smiled again, then waved his hand and said: "That's because the Allies' orders cannot be unified, they cannot fight together, and each has their own small abacus in their hearts."
Cheng Yu still reminded him: "At that time, they were the eighteen princes of the towns, and now there are only two families of Sun and Liu, which is different."
Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu very seriously, then laughed again and said, "Cheng Yu, do you think we are fighting against Sun and Liu now? No, now we are fighting with Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Although Liu Bei and Sun Quan may be united because their strength is smaller than us, the division of interests after the war cannot be unified. Liu Bei must want to get Jingzhou, but can Sun Quan agree? And we cannot agree. So no matter who wins with Sun Quan, we have to deal with Liu Bei. If it were Liu Bei before, it might not be clear, but now he has Zhuge Liang's help, he must be very clear."
After hearing this, Guo Jia suggested, "Lord, Zhuge Liang's talent is very famous in Jingxiang. Is there any way to dig it up?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Lord, even if Guo Jijiu is unable to do anything, others will have no choice."
Cao Cao said: "Fengxiao, you can arrange someone to check Zhuge Liang's family and think of ways, but the Zhuge family is also a large clan of Langya, so you still have to be careful."
Guo Jia bowed and said, "I know, lord. But we can send someone to take a walk for some rumors to distract their relationship, and at the same time we can also send someone to take a walk for some of our army's strong strength. How to defeat Yuan Shao and Liu Zong, shake the morale and people of Jiangdong, and also make Sun and Liu turbulent."
"Okay, Fengxiao's plan to attack the heart is very good, so let's arrange some secret spies to cross the river to do it. At the same time, the commander Cai Mao and Zhang Yun must train the navy well so that all soldiers from the north can adapt to the water battle." Cao Cao said.
The rumors about Cao's army had some impact in Jiangxia, but after Liu Feng and Sun Gan, who were left behind by Liu Bei, used iron-blooded means to kill some people, everyone gradually settled down. Zhuge Liang made people spread that Cao Cao liked to massacre cities and kill people, and gradually settled down.
There was rumors of Cao's spies walking in Jiangdong. Some spies said to their acquaintances around them: "Cao's army went south in a million. Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, who was the emperor, and defeated Yuan Shao, who was the third generation of the three kings, and killed Liu Zong from Jingzhou. He is now coming to Jiangdong. I don't know how many days will our peaceful days last?" After hearing this, the acquaintances began to talk to the acquaintances around him. Among them, the ones with quick brains said: "It is a violation of the law to spread this kind of news. A while ago, the people from the Propaganda Office said that the rumors of walking were not allowed, and they also told us not to believe the rumors of spies walking. Whoever spread this news was not Cao Cao's spy, let's report to the police station quickly."
As a result, many of the secret spies of Cao's army were captured on their backs. This not only did not shake the hearts of the people in Jiangdong, but instead caused Cao's secret spies to lose a lot of people, which made Guo Jia very upset about this.
A few days later, Sun Quan brought Chen Nian and his thousand men to Sanjiangkou Camp and officially entered the front line. Liu Bei and others also came to greet him. After Sun Quan arrived, he first asked Zhou Yu about his purpose, then talked with Uncle Liu for a while, and then held a small meeting, and then asked Uncle Liu and others to retreat first, saying that he was tired all the way and would talk to Uncle Liu for a while after he had a rest.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, Guan Zhang and others had to leave. Zhang Fei said with an unhappy look: "Brother, Sun Quan is obviously in good spirits, so he said he would say that he would talk about it after resting, but he was just uneasy."
Liu Bei immediately shouted: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense. It is normal for the hard journey to go back to the camp."
Zhuge Liang also said: "Yes, Wu Hou just came, and he must have to understand the situation with others. Now we can just feel at ease."
After Liu Bei left, Sun Quan summoned the generals on the front line and then held a meeting together. Sun Quan was very excited when he looked at the generals gathered below. He could finally wave his hand and mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops. When the world was unified, he ordered and a million troops to charge. What a spectacular scene.
Sun Quan stood up and said, "Dear generals, Cao Cao went south. He captured Jingzhou and then wanted to attack our Jiangdong. When he heard the news that Cao's army was heading south, do you know what I was feeling?"
Pang Tong took the lead and said, "I don't know!"
