"Xuande's words do make sense. Lu Bu has always liked cavalry fighting, and most of the people who came to Jingzhou this time were cavalry."

Cao Cao clapped his hands and said that Liu Bei's analysis was very reasonable.

"Since that's the case, how could Lu Bu go all the way to give up the cavalry and really fight with us?"

Liu Bei touched his short beard and looked mysterious.

"Lu Bu is the most cunning person. He always talks about doing one thing in war. It is hard to understand the truth. The best way to deal with such a person is to ignore it and take his own ideas as the basis."

Liu Bei looked around and finally saw Cao Cao's face. They all fought with Lu Bu and suffered losses. Naturally, they knew how powerful they were.

"Yes, Lu Bu is quite cunning. Once he does it according to his ideas, he may have fallen into his plan!"

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and Liu Bei's words made sense.

"What does the King of Chu mean?"

Sun Quan looked at Liu Bei with a bad expression. His plan was refuted and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"It's better to be in Chibi and Wulin. Where is the terrain of the terrain? You can go north to Yunmengze. When you retreat, you can confront Lu Bu, which can trap Lu Bu's army in Yunmengze!"

Liu Bei said, "This was discussed by Zhuge Liang and him."

"That place is really good, let's settle it like this first."

Seeing that Sun Quan had no objection, Cao Cao agreed with a smile.

"Report to King Wei, the exam has ended!"

A soldier walked up to the high platform and clasped his fists at Cao Cao.

"Come on the test papers, I want to mark the papers with King Wu and King Chu!"

Cao Cao nodded and said, since the exam requires Sun Quan and Liu Bei to testify, the review of the test papers naturally also need to be corrected with them.

There were not many test papers, and only more than twenty people participated in the competition between the five commanders.

The review of the test papers is staggered. Cao Cao looked at Sun Quan, Sun Quan looked at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao.

Reviewing the other party’s test papers made Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Bei open their eyes and see the talents of other people’s strategists.

"The King of Wu does have capable people under him!"

Cao Cao sighed after reading several test papers. He took out two test papers, one of which he couldn't put down in the midterm. It was Zhou Yu's answer sheet. The above had deep insights into this battle. Combined with the navy and terrain, it even listed a series of battle formations. They were all navy tactics, which Cao Cao had never heard of.

"The King of Chu is not bad either!"

Sun Quan held a paper, which was from Zhuge Liang, and he benefited a lot from thousands of words.

"Don't be polite, you two, it seems that there are all results? Why not select the right one and discuss the candidates together!"

Liu Bei smiled and said with a smile on his face.

Only Jiufen was selected in the end. After discussing and comparing them together, Zhou Yu stood out and became the commander-in-chief of the coalition. The four deputy commanders were Sima Yi, Liu Ye, Liu Bei's Zhuge Liang, and Sun Quan's Lu Su.

All three parties were quite satisfied with this result. Sun Quan got the most, but Cao Cao also had two seats. Liu Bei knew that only Zhuge Liang could take action, so he had no objection.

"Come, call five generals up!"

Cao Cao shouted with a smile.

The sound of horns sounded, and the sound spread throughout Xiakou, followed by the dense sound of war drums.

Zhou Yu took the lead, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Lu Su and Liu Ye walked up to the platform together.

"Greetings to King Wei, King Wu, and King Chu!"

The five people bowed in unison.

"Five generals are exempted from gifts!"

Cao Cao said with a smile.

"The results of this exam have come out. After discussion among the three of us, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin stood out and were elected as the commander-in-chief of the coalition, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Lu Su and Liu Ye as deputy. They defeated Japan and joined forces with Red Cliffs to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy!"

Cao Cao announced.

The five people thanked each other in unison, which was meaningless. The paper was reviewed by the three of them in front of them. As ministers, they naturally could not have any objections. If they did not become the commander-in-chief, they could only say that their abilities were indeed insufficient.

"Give a seat and a banquet!"

Cao Cao laughed. Since he had selected five commanders, he would naturally hold a banquet to celebrate.

Everyone sat down and looked at the three pieces of paper on the notice board, with names on them densely covered with them. They didn't pay attention to their own side, and they were all staring at the other two pieces of paper.

"Liu Bei has all the troops, but Cao Cao has not used much strength."

Zhou Yu thought to himself that almost all the generals under Liu Bei's commanders were sent out, and he obviously valued this battle very much.

The banquet lasted until dusk, and Sun Quan and Liu Bei took people out of Xiakou on the grounds that they were going back to gather troops.

"The King of Wei, I am incompetent!"

Sima Yi and Liu Ye apologized to Cao Cao, saying that they did not seek the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces today.

"Get up, it's not that you are incompetent, it's that Zhou Yu is so outstanding, his argument... But it's not your fault. After all, you are fighting in a different place, so it's normal that he is not as good as he is in a deep position in the battle."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, it was not that Sima Yi and Liu Ye were not outstanding, but that northerners suddenly came to Jingzhou and how could they compare to southerners when formulating tactics.

"Everything of the coalition forces is ready. If you are ready, take the army to Chibi and Wulin."

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi and Liu Ye and said.

"Yes, King Wei!"

Sima Yi and Liu Ye ritually.

"Cheng Yu, do you think this battle can be won?"

Cao Cao finally looked at Cheng Yu standing beside him and asked.

"King of Wei, there is no certain victory in the war. However, with the strength of the coalition forces today, there should be no problem."

Cheng Yu replied.

"Strength? Everyone has their own ulterior motives, where does it come from?"

Cao Cao sighed.

"Is there any situation in Yanzhou?"

Cao Cao suddenly asked.

"General Cao Ren reported that Zhang Liao has been sending scouts to investigate in various parts of Yanzhou recently, and seems to be ready to take action at any time."

Cheng Yu replied.

"Lu Bu wants to hide this from me? He can beat the world, forget it once, but he thought I would be fooled one after another?"

Cao Cao sneered. He never thought that Lu Bu only wanted to attack Jingzhou this time. It was just a cover for attacking his own Yanzhou. Cao Cao had prepared a backup plan for this.

"Tell Guo Fengxiao that he will always be prepared and support immediately once the war in Yanzhou breaks out!"

Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu that this time he came to Jingzhou without taking Guo Jia and Xun Yu, but just letting Lu Bu attack his rear. Now Xun Yu has gone to Yanzhou, and Guo Jia is near Mount Tai, which is enough to deal with Lu Bu's sneak attack.

"Yes, Your Highness, King of Wei!"

Cheng Yu bowed.

"Also, give some benefits to those people in Xuzhou and tell them that they will be promoted after I go back!"
