Chapter 40 Backdoor Wolf

"Mr. Yuan Zhi." Liu Feng and Liu Qi got up at the same time.

Xu Shu's haggard face a day ago, but now there is a faint excitement, as if today's meeting gave him a stimulant.

"Mr. Xu, I heard from A Feng that Zhou Yu plans to go back to Jiangxi and go to Chibi to fight with Cao Jun?" In order to ensure foolproof, Liu Qi couldn't help asking again.

Xu Shu also knew what Liu Qi was worried about, so he explained Zhou Yu's battle plan again. Even a resourceful person like Xu Shu agreed, and Liu Qi was finally 100% relieved.

"People say that Zhou Yu is the first wise general in Jiangdong. Today, it seems that he really lives up to his reputation. Alas, it's a pity that the counselors around my father are all in vain and can't see the important surname of Lukou. If I had known that this place was so important, I wouldn't have been passive with Jiangdong over the years.

From this comment of "the first wise general", it can be seen that Liu Qi's hostility to Zhou Yu has been reduced a lot.

Xu Shu sneered: "The people of Kyue are just good at power. If it comes to the use of soldiers, they are not worth mentioning at all. However, the reason why the governor Zhou chose the location of the decisive battle in Chibi is not just to defend Lukou.

Xu Shu's demeanor and words vaguely had some kind of hint. Liu Feng realized that he must have something to say, so he took the opportunity to ask, "In Mr.'s opinion, what's the reason for Zhou Yu's move besides Gongwei Lukou?"

Xu Shu turned his eyes to Liu Qi: "Mr. Zide, you have been born in Jingzhou since you were a child. You must know the terrain of Jingzhou. You should know this place in Wulin, right?"

'Wulin! Could it be that he...' Liu Feng's heart suddenly shook.

Liu Qi didn't know why Xu Shu suddenly asked this question. He touched his chin and muttered, "Wulin, I passed by several times when I went to Jiangling a few years ago. It seems that there is a dry road that can pass through Yunmengze to Jiangling, but that place is muddy and cold, and I have never been ashore before."

With that, Liu Qi's eyes lit up: "That's right, the south bank opposite Wulin happens to be Chibi!"

Xu Shu laughed and stopped playing tricks: "When Zhou Yu seized the Red Cliff, Cao Qian had to camp in Wulin on the north bank. He camped in such a place that violated the taboo of soldiers. First of all, he fell behind. This is Zhou Yu's intention to seize the second floor of the Red Cliff."

Xu Shu said that it was like the prediction on the mysterious man's notes, but what puzzled Liu Feng was that when he met with Zhou Yu at the beginning, why didn't Xu Shu say the second reason?

"Mr. Yuan Zhi, I was also there when I met with Zhou Yu. Why did you only say one reason?" Liu Feng asked suspiciously.

The corners of his mouth were slightly tilted, and a strange touch surged on his angular face. Xu Shu laughed drily and said, "I deliberately don't say anything. Naturally, I don't want to take the limelight of the governor of Zhou. This fight against Cao Jun mainly depends on Zhou Yu and his Wu Jun. Of course, this face should be given to others."

Liu Feng suddenly realized that Xu Shu did not see it, but deliberately did not say it. Thinking that when he had read the note before, he had sighed that Xu Shu's strategy was inferior to that of Zhou Yu. Now that he learned the truth, Liu Feng had to secretly laugh at himself.

Liu Qi did not participate in the earlier meeting and knew nothing about the battle between the wise man and the wise man. Of course, this was not what he was interested in.

"Since the Wu people plan to fight with Cao Qian, we are also happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. I don't know when my uncle will return to Xiakou. He and I can fight against Cao's big plan on the North Road."

Xu Shu shook his head: "Lord, he will not return to Xiakou for the time being. He has decided to go to Chibi with Zhou Yu and personally participate in the decisive battle of Chibi."

'Well, he is very smart. If he doesn't personally participate in the Red Cliff War, what right is the fruit of victory after the war?'

Liu Feng had a bottom in his heart, but Liu Qi was shocked: "Cao's army on the west road is strong. Even if Zhou Yu seizes the danger, he may not have a full chance of winning. Why does his uncle have to be involved in danger himself?"

"Red Cliff has always been the main battlefield. If this battle is won, but the Lord does not participate in it, then the great achievements of the success of the fight against Cao will not be robbed by the Wu people. After the war, we will lose more say in the issue of retaking Jingzhou. Lord, he has no choice but to do it.

Xu Shu's explanation was in line with Liu Feng's guess, but Liu Qi obviously did not expect it to be so far-reaching. As soon as he heard this, he was anxious: "What does Mr. Yuanzhi mean by this? Didn't we set it secretly at the beginning? It was just a 'one stone and two birds' plan to fight against Cao. Once Cao Jun failed, we will be cruel to the Wu people in the future. He stabbed and swept the wolf and tiger out of Jingzhou. Why does my uncle suddenly seem to have changed his plan now?

This so-called 'two birds with one stone' plan is just that Liu Feng didn't want Liu Bei to turn his hand over Liu Qi at the beginning. He came up with an excuse to fool. Unexpectedly, Liu Qi hasn't figured out the loopholes in it for so many days.

Liu Feng coughed gently, picked up the cup, bowed his head to drink tea, and kicked the lying problem to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu smiled helplessly: "The plan always can't keep up with the changes. Do you remember that we got the information brought back by Sun Gongyou yesterday, saying that it was that the Marquis of Wu appointed Cheng Pu as the right governor?"

Liu Feng put down the teacup and said strangely: "Of course I remember, but my husband analyzed that Wu Hou did this in order to use Cheng Pu to restrain Zhou Yu. Is there any connection between these two things?"

"Of course it's related. Wu Jun's march took Zhou Yu's 20,000 people as the main force to seize Chibi. Cheng Pu's 10,000 people, as the second legion, are stationed in the downstream of Lukou, in the name of guarding the grain road for Zhou Yu's army. In my opinion, Cheng Pujun's deployment like this, monitoring and clamping Zhou Yu is only one of the intentions, and this other layer of intention, mostly..."

"It's to guard against us!" Before Xu Shu finished speaking, Liu Feng blurted out for a moment.

Xu Shu sneered: "That's exactly what I mean. Cheng Pu's navy lives in the lower reaches of Lukou, which can not only monitor the movement of our army in Xiakou, but also cooperate with Zhou Yu's army to sanitation the Lukou. As long as Lukou is in their hands, the Wu military grain road on the front line can pass through the land water and bypass Xiakou to maintain connection with Chai Sang. Mr. Zide, do you think we still have a chance to fight back at that time?

Xu Shu's words made Liu Qi speechless, and his expression became anxious again. "If so, isn't the final result, just like what I had worried about before, or evolved into a front door rejecting the tiger and the back door leading the wolf into the room?"

Xu Shu's eyebrows trembled slightly. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he was brewing some new reason to fool Liu Qi.

Liu Feng couldn't stand it anymore. From the bottom of his heart, Liu Qi treated them sincerely. Under the pressure of survival, he deceived him openly and secretly again and took advantage of him. Now there are only two or three thousand soldiers and horses left in Liu Qi's hands. All the key positions in Jiangxia County have also been replaced by their people. For this sake, he fooled him like a clown. In Liu Feng's opinion, it's really a little too much.

Therefore, Liu Feng robbed Xu Shu and said calmly, "The world is unpredictable, and everything can be under our control. Brother, take it a look. At this time, you can only take one step at a time.

Liu Qi fell into silence for a long time, shaking her head and sighing.
