The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 249 Zhou Yu's Suspicion

In fact, when Sun Quan first inherited the foundation, he was still ambitious, so he led troops to attack Jiangxia many times not long after he succeeded to the throne, and he didn't stop until he killed Huang Zu.Later, Sun Quan attacked Hefei many times, but although Hefei had fewer soldiers, it was much more difficult to fight than Jiangxia.

Sun Quan had never fought in Hefei in his whole life, and he finally got impatient. He no longer wanted to conquer the world with the Northern Expedition. In his heart, he was satisfied to be able to rule across the river with Cao Cao.

After Zhou Yu's death, Jiangdong had not expanded its territory outward except for attacking Jingzhou and capturing Jiangling by conspiracy and tricks, of course, Jiaozhou or Ryukyu were not counted.

But now Jiangdong has been watching Jingzhou covetously, and has taken the initiative to invade many times. If Zhang Wu leads troops to Yizhou and Zhou Yu raises troops to attack, in case Zhang Wu is too late to return in Yizhou, then it will not be possible. It's easy to say.

Zhang Wu is well aware of Zhou Yu's power, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the most powerful commander in the world, and Zhou Yu's resourcefulness is also very outstanding, not weaker than Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and others.But Zhou Yu was a little unlucky, and the Jiangdong soldiers' foot combat ability was really scumbag, so Zhou Yu was hit by a stray arrow and injured his lung when fighting Cao Ren. In the end, the arrow sore recurred and he died at the age of 36. .

Therefore, before Jiangdong was defeated, Zhang Wu did not dare to lead troops to take Xichuan.In the original book, Liu Bei dared because Liu Bei and Sun Quan were still in the honeymoon period at that time, and Cao Cao happened to attack Jiangdong from Ruxukou, restraining Sun Quan.

But it was also very dangerous at that time, because not long after Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Gu Yong suggested to Sun Quan that first send an army to block the exit of Xichuan, cut off Liu Bei's return route, and then use the army of Soochow to attack in one fell swoop. Jing Xiang.Sun Quan was overjoyed, but when he was about to implement it, Wu Guotai stopped him, because the old lady was afraid that her daughter would be killed if she went to war.

Now that Cao Cao has come back in a big defeat, it is estimated that he will be unable to attack again in ten years.But Zhang Wu is sure that as long as he dares to lead troops into Shu, Zhou Yu will 100% raise troops to attack.

Therefore, if Jingzhou wants to develop further, it must first kill Jiangdong, otherwise neither of the two will be strong.

If Zhang Wu personally led the troops to fight Jiangdong, Zhang Wu felt that he was somewhat sure.

First of all, Jingzhou occupies a geographical advantage.The decisive battle between Jingzhou and Jiangdong can only be a water battle. Whoever can gain the ultimate control of the Yangtze River will win.And Jingzhou is upstream, and the naval forces of both sides are about the same now, so Jingzhou has an advantage.

Secondly, the Jingzhou navy had iron chain ships to assist in the battle, and new ships equipped the navy. In terms of warships, it had surpassed the Jiangdong navy. However, the Jiangdong navy did not dare to use iron chain ships to fight against the Jingzhou navy because they is downstream.

Finally, Zhang Wu has the ability to call the wind and call the rain, and can change the direction of the wind at any time, so he is not afraid that the Jiangdong Army will choose the time and place to start the war.

Zhang Wu felt that Zhou Yu must also be thinking about how to defeat the Jingzhou army at this time, because everyone is smart, and what can be thought of here, Zhou Yu must also be able to think of it.

Sure enough, when the news of Cao Cao's defeat reached Jiangdong, Zhou Yu immediately asked to see Sun Quan and said, "My lord, do you know that Zhang Wu defeated Cao Cao again and wiped out nearly 20 Cao Cao's troops?"

Of course Sun Quan already knew, he was shocked in his heart, originally thought that Zhang Wu would suffer a loss this time, because no matter how powerful Zhang Wu was, after all he was facing an army of 40, even if one person threw a stone into the Han River, it would not be enough. It can cut off the Han River!
But I didn't expect that the south wind really appeared in this cold winter, and Zhang Wu burned down Cao Cao's 20 troops!

20!All the troops in Jiangdong don't have so many combined, and they just disappeared in one fire. I don't know how Cao Cao is feeling now?
Anyway, Sun Quan is not in the mood to feel sorry for Prime Minister Cao now, because after this battle, Zhang Wu's reputation and strength will definitely increase, and Cao Cao has been defeated by Zhang Wu three times. I am afraid that he will not dare to fight Jingzhou again in the future. .

Sun Quan sighed: "Gongjin, I didn't expect you to be right. Who would have expected that in this winter, the south wind really blows. It's such a coincidence that it happened at the time of the decisive battle between Zhang Wu and Cao Cao." of."

How can there be such a coincidence in the world, Zhou Yu thinks that either Zhang Wu or someone under him is very proficient in celestial phenomena and has calculated in advance that the south wind will blow at that time, or there is something weird about this matter.

As far as Zhou Yu knew, the time for the battle was basically chosen by Cao Cao. No matter how powerful Zhang Wu was, it was impossible for Cao Cao to count when Cao Cao sent troops, right?Cao Cao led his troops to Fancheng from the beginning of autumn, and did not send troops until November [-]th. How could it be such a coincidence that the south wind blew on that day and at that hour.

But if it wasn't calculated in advance, could it be that the south wind was created by Zhang Wu?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu was taken aback. If this is the case, what's the deal?
So Zhou Yu told Sun Quan what was in his mind, "My lord, I think this matter is very strange. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Could it be that this martial art has some magic that can summon the south wind to help?"

As soon as this remark came out, Sun Quan was also taken aback. Is there such a thing?

"Gongjin, why do you think so?" Such an unreasonable thing is generally unbelievable.

"My lord, I thought about it carefully just now. It seems that Zhang Wu can gain the upper hand in every battle. When we attacked Jingzhou with Cao Cao last time, we were blocked by Jiangxia's navy with iron chains. Later, Zhang Wu rushed over. Later, poisonous smoke was released. I remember it clearly. At the beginning, it was still southerly, but after Zhang Wu arrived, it turned into west wind.

This time it's enough to do it twice, but every time Zhang Wu uses poisonous smoke, he will be in the upper hand, which is too strange!Especially this time, when the north wind turned to the south at such a critical moment, most people think it was a coincidence, but a smart person like Zhou Yu would have to think more about it.

As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, there is no way to get your shoes wet. Zhang Wu's skill of calling the wind and rain has been used a lot, and finally he was suspected.

After what Zhou Yu said, Sun Quan also felt that it was the same thing. From the first time he fought Zhang Wu, to being blocked by Jiangxia last time, to this time Zhang Wu burned Cao Cao, it really seemed that this Zhang Wu could change at will. Like the wind.

Could it be that Zhang Wu really knew some kind of immortal technique?
In fact, Sun Quan also met someone who knew the magic of immortality before, that is, Yu Ji, a famous Taoist priest back then, but this is a very taboo thing in Jiangdong, and most people dare not talk about it.

Because the death of Sun Quan's elder brother Sun Ce had something to do with this Taoist Yu Ji.As Sun Ce's closest friends, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu knew this matter very clearly.
