Xiaoguangong

Chapter 66 This time you have to act like you
Hearing that the arsenal was burned by fire, both Xun You and Chen Lin sweated, for fear that Cao Cao would faint after hearing about it.

I'm in my 50s, and I had a headache before. If I fainted a few times, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao just nodded this time, tapped rhythmically on the table in front of him with his fingers, and didn't say much.

The atmosphere was silent and a little scary, and Xun You began to miss his uncle who was younger than him.

He is the person who knows Cao Cao's mind best. If he is there, he should be able to effectively persuade the prime minister.

Thinking of his uncle, his thoughts slowly diverged again, thinking of Jiang Dong's pair of uncles and nephews who set him up.

Just two days ago, Lu Ji sent another letter.

The letter stated that Sun and Liu had reached an alliance, and now Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were the commanders, and they were preparing for a decisive battle, while Guan Ping led a commando team to start activities in Xiangyang, and it was very likely that they would sneak into Xiangyang to sabotage.

When Xun You and the others read the letter, they all cursed - I'll fuck you, Guan Ping is about to turn Jiangling upside down, but Xiangyang has been calm.It seems that, as Cheng Yu said, those people in Jiangdong who seem to be interested in the imperial court are actually their enemies.

Today, after hearing that the arsenal was burned, Cao Cao slowly took out the letter and held it in his hand.

"What do you guys think?"

This time without Cheng Yu's words, Xun You had already made a quick decision.

"Prime Minister, I think we should do the opposite. I expect that Sun Quan and Liu Bei must be worried about our army's attack along the Yangtze River and the Han River, so they deliberately spread rumors in order to cause chaos in Xiangyang and delay Boran's advance.

I thought that when Boran moved first along the Han River and mobilized the main force of the bandit army, our army would then attack along the Yangtze River and take Xiakou directly! "

Cao Cao's tiger eyes were cold, he sneered and said:
"Before Zhongde's three strategies..."

"This subordinate is guilty." Xun You hastily bowed down and apologized.

Before, Cheng Yu hoped to use Ma Liang to participate in the military and Huang Zhong to participate in the battle to divide Cai Mao and win over the Jingzhou family, but Xun You insisted that Ma Liang and Huang Zhong should not be trusted. It happened that Huang Zhong beat Cao Hong hard, and then naturally shelved it.

Now that Cao Cao has begun to ease the relationship with Cai Hao, and Cao Cao is preparing to launch an attack along the Han River at the same time, it is extremely important to win over Ma Liang and Huang Zhong who has hidden in Xiangyang.

"A few days ago, Ma Liang followed Yunshan to Jiangling to deliver food. He only went to see Kuai Yidu in his private house, but his contacts with Cai Mao were all public by the riverside. It can be seen that Ma Liang had a heart for the court and did not want to get too involved with Cai Mao. big relationship.

That Yunshan is also quite loyal and brave. I heard from Changwen that before Guan Ping attacked, he took the initiative to attack and fight against him.

The prime minister might as well give them a chance. If they can make great contributions, they will use this person again. In this way, even if our army withdraws in the future, Cai Mao will not be allowed to dominate Jingzhou! "

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He is now very troubled by Cai Mao. If he can make good use of Yunshan and Huang Zhong, it will be a huge victory to contain the Sun Liu coalition forces in the Hanshui area.

"According to Gongda's words, take Yunshan as the captain of Li Feng, Ma Liang as the captain of Pinglu, and together with Huang Zhong, be restrained by Wen Qian, advance vigorously, and attack Sun Liu.

If you can win, there must be a big reward! "

Captain Li Feng and Captain Lu were the former official positions of Cao Ren and Le Jin respectively. It is not difficult to see Cao Cao's ardent expectations for them from this acceptance of fate.

If the two can win, Sun Liu will be forced to deploy a large army to defend the Hanshui side, and he can make full use of the advantages of his troops to launch an attack along the Yangtze River.

Cao Cao's tense expression began to relax a little bit, and all the dark clouds accumulated for many days were swept away.

Cao Cao had been defeated many times before, and even fell into desperation many times, but he was still the final victor.

He believed that this time he would not escape from his grasp.

·
Guan Ping returned from Jiangling with a full load, took Xiashui to transfer to Hanshui, and met Lu Yi who had been fighting there all along near Xianshan Mountain.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Lu Yi's already dark face was evenly tanned, and it was even a little reflective from a distance, which made Guan Ping couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lu Yi smiled wryly and shook his head:
"What are you laughing at? You don't have to worry about eating and drinking in Jiangling. It's really difficult for me to wait here."

After Lu Yi blocked Xiashui, Zhao Yan sent water troops to fight them many times.

Although Lu Yi's army is far superior to the Northern Army in water warfare skills, what Zhao Yan is best at is to appease people's hearts. He actually organized a powerful Jingzhou navy to listen to, and Lu Yi suffered a big loss. He was almost expelled from this area soon.

"Fortunately, the little general's arrangement was very useful..." Liu Dun said with a smile, "otherwise we would have to go to Xiakou to wait for orders now."

The soldiers under Liang Qi were "killed" before and were arranged to live and open up wasteland in the land belonging to the Ma family in Xianshan generation.

Le Jin's soldiers once again entered the vicinity of Mount Xian to collect corvees and food, and they were immediately attacked by these people. The barbarians in the Jingxiang area also frequently attacked Le Jin's men because of insufficient food reserves in winter. In an emergency, Zhao Yan was forced to distribute his own food to Le Jin. The Jingzhou Army under him did not have enough food, so naturally he was unwilling to chase and kill Lu Yi.

Guan Ping heaved a sigh of relief, and told Lu Yi and Liu Dun the news he found from Jiangling.

Hearing that Cao Cao has already started preparing for the decisive battle, Lu Yi nodded quickly:
"The matter is urgent, and Mr. Liu is here to hang around. I will tell the Supreme Master about this matter first."

"General Sun is nearby?" Guan Ping asked curiously.

The fight is about to start, Zhou Yu's navy must have gathered in large numbers, why Sun Quan is still wandering around the Han River.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Lu Yi's face, as if he didn't want to say this embarrassing thing, but he hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice:
"You and I are life-and-death friends, so I won't hide it from you—I don't know who I heard it from, but there is a magical place in the Han River, and I am still searching carefully.

Hey, this, this..."

Lu Yi naturally didn't believe what he said, and shook his head slowly while speaking, with a rather helpless look on his face.

Guan Ping's eyes widened, and he thought that Sun Quan would be fine if he went there, but it's not a peaceful world over there, and if something happened there, it would be over.

But the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. Guan Ping wisely kept his mouth shut, and made an appointment with Liu Dun to wait until he returned to Xiangyang, and then pretend to fight again.

"This time, we must act a little more like it." Guan Ping recalled the last battle, and couldn't help but feel lingering fear, "Le Jin and Xu Huang have experienced many battles, and they are as difficult to use as they were when they dealt with Liang Qi last time."

Liu Dun patted his chest confidently and assured that there was absolutely no problem this time.

At that time, the two sides will shoot with arrows for a while, and then Liu Dun will be defeated. After that, Guan Ping will chase all the way, and the two sides will fight clumsily. It's easy to fool Cao's generals who don't understand water warfare.

"Then I will thank Mr. Liu first." Guan Ping smiled confidently.

He never expected that this exercise would cause a huge chain of events, which made him feel very complicated every time he thought about it for the rest of his life.
