"Shangyong, Fangling, Xincheng?"

Cao Cao thought about it. Although these three places now belong to Liu Bei, they were lonely cities for him. If Xiangyang could not be taken, these three places would have no meaning at all.

"Then let's do it for now. The two generals who have chosen to participate in the coalition will be written test tomorrow. The 150,000 army requires one commander-in-chief, four deputy commanders, and fifty generals!"

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and Sun Quan and said that the territory was just like this, and the rest was the coalition.

Everyone dispersed, and Cao Cao sat alone in his position without moving.

"Cheng Yu, who do you think is suitable to fight for the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces?"

Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu.

"Your Highness the King of Wei, the generals who went to the coalition this time are probably young people, so it is a bit inappropriate for subordinates."

Cheng Yu spoke.

"What's the meaning?"

Cao Cao didn't raise his head, just looking at the document in front of him. This was a detailed list of troops sent by Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

"The King of Wu Sun Quan must support Zhou Yu, and King of Chu Liu Bei supports Zhuge Liang. Both of them are strong contenders of the commander-in-chief, and these two are less than thirty years old."

Cheng Yu said, when he was discussing today, he already knew what Sun Quan and Liu Bei meant.

"This means you want to compete with me for young talents. It's okay, Sima Yi, you go this time!"

Cao Cao looked up at Sima Yi standing beside the hall and said.

"Yes, King Wei!"

Sima Yi bowed and replied.

"How many people do you think Sun Quan and Liu Bei will send this time?"

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi and asked.

"Liu Bei has not many counselors and generals, so there are probably not many people. Sun Quan is just the opposite. He has many counselors and many generals, and there should be many people."

Sima Yi said guessingly.

"Well, you go and prepare. Look at the generals and counselors I brought this time and look at the choice."

Cao Cao nodded and let Sima Yi go down.

Sun Quan and Liu Bei did not stay in Xiakou City for a long time. They got on the boat and went back to the camp outside the city.

"Brother, Cao Cao is afraid of us too!"

Zhang Fei laughed loudly. Today they had a big face and did not give in to Cao Cao at all.

"Do you think Cao Cao is afraid of us?"

Liu Bei smiled and shook his head.

"Otherwise? He asked Jiangling City's eldest brother to say he would not give it, and he hadn't been so relieved for a long time."

Zhang Fei spoke.

"You are wrong. Cao Cao did it on purpose. This battle is probably not simple. Cao Cao seems to want nothing. This is really strange."

Liu Bei's brows gradually frowned. What happened today was very strange.

"Military advisor, what do you think?"

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.

"Lord, Cao Cao's strategy is hidden. This battle between coalition command and generals is actually Cao Cao's temptation."

Zhuge Liang replied.

"Test? He wants to see how strong we have?"

Liu Bei frowned.

"Yes, as long as you participate in tomorrow's exam, you will naturally show some skills, and this is exactly what Cao Cao wants to see."

Zhuge Liang points are righteous.

"This is also a scheming? I'll go tomorrow and draw a few turtles for him! I see what he can see!"

Zhang Fei said, he didn't understand why Liu Bei was worried about this little thing.

"Yide, you don't understand. The coalition forces are related to our army. If they don't fight and are controlled by Cao Cao or Sun Quan, what do you think we will be like?"

Liu Bei shook his head and said.

"What does my brother mean? I can't think of it!"

Zhang Fei didn't want to use his brain to wave his hands.

"Just like the coalition forces against Dong back then, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and Lu Bu control the coalition forces, and we are controlled by others."

Liu Bei explained.

"That's definitely not possible. We had few soldiers and horses at the beginning and had no official positions. Now it's different. My eldest brother is the King of Chu, so we sent another 50,000 troops, so we naturally couldn't listen to them!"

Zhang Fei realized that they could not be controlled by others this time.

"So to fight for the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, at least a deputy commander must be needed. The general must occupy more than ten. Military advisors, are you someone who has chosen them?"

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.

"One deputy commander, ten generals should not be a problem."

Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and said.

"Okay, you can choose any staff!"

Liu Bei said with satisfaction.

...

Fankou.

"Welcome to His Highness the King of Wu!"

Huang Gai, Han Dang and Zu Mao brought a group of generals to welcome Sun Quan's return.

"Go into the city first!"

Sun Quan waved his hand and entered Fankou City.

"Grandmaster, tomorrow we must compete for the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces!"

After Sun Quan sat down, he said directly to Zhou Yu.

"Your Highness, with Cao Cao here, I'm afraid it's not good to argue too much, right?"

Zhou Yu said, if it were just Liu Bei, he would definitely fight, but Cao Cao had a big power and would be afraid that he would be bad in the end.

"It's okay, just go and fight. I, Jiangdong, are still afraid that he won't succeed!"

Sun Quan said loudly, his voice echoing in the hall, as if declaring that he was going to compete with Cao Cao.

"The Grand Governor is not sure?"

Sun Quan asked in a deep voice when he saw that Zhou Yu had not agreed.

"Sure!"

Zhou Yu bowed and said, since Sun Quan had made up his mind, he had to fight.

"Okay, all the generals will obey the orders, and everyone will obey the orders of the Grand Commander. Tomorrow, in addition to fighting for the command of the coalition forces, we must also win the quota of fifteen generals!"

Sun Quan looked at the generals and ordered that he had decided to take charge of the dominance of the coalition forces. He ordered the good things and asked everyone to retreat and prepare.

"Grandmaster, the King of Wu is going to fight with Cao Cao."

Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu and said.

"It's clear, you're probably going with me tomorrow."

Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

"I'll go too? Gongjin, you can go. I'm not as good as you in military affairs."

Lu Su was a little surprised, and he was afraid that he would not be able to compete for the commander-in-chief of the coalition.

"It's not the commander-in-chief, but the deputy commander. The King of Wu wants the command of the coalition forces, a commander-in-chief, fifteen generals, and the general has a deputy commander."

Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

"This... it's better to let Lu Meng and Lu Xun go, their military capabilities are good!"

Lu Su spoke.

"No, we have to keep a hand and we can't show all the cards to Cao Cao."

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, Lu Meng and Lu Xun are the seeds he left behind, and Jiangdong's future depends on them.

"Okay, I'll go too!"

Lu Su agreed.
