Chapter 261 Tianyu's Strategy

Two more days passed, and Tianyu had been thinking about countermeasures.

According to the original plot, Zhuge Liang should go to Jiangdong next, debate with scholars, and persuade Sun Quan.

If Sun Quan was persuaded, then the Sun-Liu alliance would be successfully concluded as in history.

Of course, Tianyu knew the plot, and he would definitely not let Zhuge Liang's straw boat borrowing arrows and Zhou Yu's burning of Chibi succeed easily.

But in this way, there are other variables. With Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu's brains, they must have another plan if one plan failed!

Zhuge Liang is even a top strategist. Although Cao Cao has many strategists, no one has been Zhuge Liang's opponent since Guo Jia's death.

"I'm going too far. Why not destroy the alliance directly from the root?"

Thinking of this, a bold plan was born in Tianyu's mind.

That afternoon, Cao Cao was reading a military book, and his personal guard suddenly came to report that Tianyu Duwei wanted to see him. Cao Cao was stunned, and immediately put down the military book and invited Tianyu in.

"Tianyu, what are you here for?"

"My Lord, I have an unwelcome request, I hope you will fulfill it!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao showed an interested look and said with a smile: "You might as well speak directly."

He was very curious about what kind of request Tianyu would make?

Tianyu said: "My Lord, I want to share your worries. This time I am willing to go with you to Jiangdong. I will definitely not let Liu Bei and Sun Quan unite!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed immediately: "If Sun Zhongmou is determined to unite, how are you going to stop him?"

"My Lord, the great cause of the ages cannot be allowed to be in vain. If Sun Quan does not know what is good for him, I will take Sun Quan's head!"

Tianyu said calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Cao Cao was stunned, and then laughed. At this moment, Cao Cao was very happy. Tianyu was willing to take risks alone for his grand cause. Such loyalty made Cao Cao feel very relieved!

But such behavior is really too risky.

It is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is hard to get a general. A peerless general like Tianyu may be hard to find in a hundred years!

Cao Cao couldn't bear to let Tianyu take this risk. If something unexpected happened, the loss would be great.

"No need to do that!" Cao Cao said with a smile: "Sun Zhongmou, a mere man, would not dare to go against me!"

Dare not?

It would be strange if he didn't dare!

Tianyu, who was familiar with the plot, knew that Sun Quan was also a very ambitious guy.

If Sun Quan really didn't have the courage, even if Zhuge Liang talked his mouth off, it would be useless!

It seems that Cao Cao was arrogant because of his successive victories.

This is indeed the case in the original plot. Cao Cao was too proud and did not take the Sun-Liu alliance seriously, and he suffered a great loss.

"Lord, as far as I know, Jiangdong has the Yangtze River and is surrounded by mountains on all sides, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the lord wants to attack hard, I am afraid that the soldiers will suffer heavy casualties. If the Jiangdong army attacks the lord's ship with fire, the consequences will be even more unpredictable!"

Tianyu first analyzed it, and then said: "Lord, for the sake of the great cause, let me be born in Dongwu."

After hearing about the fire attack, Cao Cao's face became solemn. The ships he was collecting were all wooden ships. If they encountered a fire attack, it would be a big trouble. Even if they were prepared in advance, they would suffer heavy losses!

And he heard that many soldiers were seasick and planned to connect all the ships.

At this moment, thinking of the fire attack, he was immediately scared and sweated.

"I almost caused a disaster first, fortunately I got your reminder!"

Lao Cao said, stood up, and paced back and forth in the room.

He was thinking about the pros and cons of Tianyu's plan. If Tianyu was caught, he would probably lose a peerless general!

To be honest, Cao Cao didn't want to see such a result, but his ambition was more important.

"There are many dangers on this trip. You must be extremely careful. If things can't be done, don't act impulsively. Even Sun Zhongmou wouldn't dare to do anything to you!"

In the end, Cao Cao agreed to Tianyu's plan to go to Dongwu.

"I obey your command!"
