"It's inconvenient to disclose this. In short, there is no problem with the source of information." Zhou Yu said.

Zhou Yu answered so confidently that Cao Cao felt embarrassed to ask.

In fact, Zhou Yu just took advantage of the people around him and bought them off with a little money.

The Marquis of Dongyang has always treated the people generously and would not embarrass them.

This did not violate the Qiushou agreement, but it was cast a layer of gray, so it was difficult for Zhou Yu to say it.

Chapter 560 Preparation

"The Marquis of Dongyang really has no reinforcements?" Cao Cao reconfirmed.

"So far, nothing has been found." Zhou Yu said, answering very cautiously.

Cao Cao fell into deep thought, and after a while he said, "The Marquis of Dongyang must have a conspiracy, not necessarily Runan, or there are other loopholes that we haven't discovered yet."

This inference is not without reason.

"Prime Minister, think about it again." Zhou Yu said, after all, he didn't have much to think about. One was Jingzhou, where the weather was calm, except for some threats from Gan Ning.

As for Runan, the situation is already clear.

After all, this is where the fighting takes place.

On the contrary, Cao Cao has a relatively large territory, so he has more things to consider.I also want to help Yuan Shao think about it, after all, Yuan Shao is not there.

Cao Cao thought about it, and almost had gout.

"Prime Minister, don't worry." Zhou Yu said.

Cao Cao was diagnosed and treated by an imperial physician immediately, and there was no serious problem.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, if Cao Cao fell at this moment, it would be a big trouble.

Although everyone didn't admit it, they all vaguely focused on Cao Cao, and the leader of the alliance could not fall.

"I really can't think of where the Marquis of Dongyang will make a breakthrough." Cao Cao sighed.

"Since this is the case, don't think about it. This battle is the key. No matter what plots Dongyang Hou has, as long as we win, everything will be easily resolved." Zhou Yu said.

Speaking of this, Cao Cao is still very confident. This time, they have a full army of 35.

But Dongyang Hou, according to the agreement, can only dispatch an army of 12.

"Don't place too much faith in the character of Marquis Dongyang. We also need to check to see if there are any redundant enemy troops nearby." Cao Cao said.

"What the prime minister said is very true." Zhou Yu agreed.

Sun Ce was too lazy to speak, and directly handed over the reception to Zhou Yu, and he started to order troops.

It is the ability to fight with real swords and guns, and everything else is false.

Now that Marquis Dongyang agreed to the battle, he would keep his promise. Sun Ce firmly believed in this, so he had to put on his best form.

Liu Ke's big words have already been released, and he has not slack off either.

"My lord, the soldiers are ready." Xu Chu said.

In this battle, Xu Chu has to bear heavy responsibilities to contain the main force of the enemy army.

"Maintain your fitness." Liu Ke urged.

The next big battle will test a person's physical fitness.

When the heavy infantry was assessed, they selected the strong men in the army, and after a long period of training, their endurance was very strong.

But with heavy armor, it's hard to say.

Zhang He's heavy cavalry made several assaults, but the horses couldn't bear it.

Therefore, Liu Ke can only try to keep everyone physically fit, and the training intensity should not be too high.

At this time, there are still three days before the agreed time.

Three days is not long or short, and it is already impossible to improve.

"My lord, aren't we taking too much risk this time? Even if you have a chance of winning, you should let the Chishui army come to meet you." Zhuge Liang said, with Tai Shici, Zhang Yun and others standing behind him.

Liu Ke took a glance and knew that Zhuge Liang was the elected representative.

Everyone hoped that Liu Ke would leave a way out.

In order to strengthen everyone's confidence, Liu Ke said: "Don't worry, our army will not be defeated if we fight head-on."

"What do you rely on, my lord?" Zhuge Liang asked in surprise. He had been in the army for so long, but he didn't find out.

Tai Shici also shook his head.

Although Zhang Xi's heavy cavalry is powerful, it is still too reluctant to face an army of 35.

"The Chongbu Battalion is in charge of the battle formation." Liu Ke said immediately.

Is there really such a thing as the art of Qimen Dunjia?

At first Zhuge Liang thought it was fooling around, but he didn't expect the lord to rely on the battle formation.

"At that time, I will command the heavy infantry battalion to resist the main force of Cao Cao and Sun Ce. The cavalry will be in charge of raiding the formation and gradually eating away at the enemy." Liu Ke said casually.
