Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 20 We are ashamed of the Prime Minister’s plan!

Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "My lord, although these two strategies are good, they are not comprehensive enough. I think it is better to control the land of Jingzhou first. Even if Liu Bei enters Jiangxia in the future, as long as we control the other places in Jingzhou, how can we not deal with a mere city?" place?"

The counselors all made suggestions, and they all knew that the Prime Minister was in a bad mood now, and they must find a way to solve the current difficulties.

After hearing their words, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand for them to sit down.

"Although your plan is good, I have thought of a better one. All you have to do is follow my orders."

"This time I can only succeed. If there is anything wrong, I will definitely take it out on you!"

The ugly words had been said first, and then Cao Cao revealed his plans and arrangements. After returning from Ye Fan, he had already thought about it.

"Cao Ren, Le Jin, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao!"

The four generals whose names were read immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "Here you are!"

"The four of you are ordered to lead an army of 200,000 and march to Jiangdong Water Village. If Sun Quan wants to see what I, Cao Cao, can do, then let him see it all!"

Everyone present was shocked. This order seemed a bit unbelievable. After all, most of Cao's troops were from the north and were not good at water warfare. Even with an army of 200,000, they might not be sure to win against a navy of 100,000 Jiangdong. Be sure.

But what Cao Cao said before was obviously not giving them a chance to refute and asking them to act immediately according to the order, so the four generals had no choice but to agree.

"Yes, Prime Minister, we will attack with all our strength and live up to the Prime Minister's expectations!"

Cao Cao nodded and continued: "We will mobilize our troops overnight and set off at dawn. The speed must be fast. We must rush into their water stronghold before Jiangdong can react!"

"Yes!"

The three of them looked solemn and sat down again after accepting the order.

Xun You, Chen Qun and others looked at Cao Cao with some confusion. They knew that Cao Cao was not an excited person by nature, but his current behavior seemed to be very different from the usual prime minister.

Although he was doubtful, Cao Cao had already said something that he only wanted them to carry out, so he could only suppress his doubts in his heart.

Then Cao Cao turned to look at Cheng Yu and said in a deep voice: "Cheng Yu!"

Cheng Yu didn't expect that he still had his own affairs, so he stood up quickly: "But it depends on the prime minister's orders!"

"You arrange people to sneak into Xiangyang City and spread the news in the city that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have contacted me privately. Remember, the news must be loud and let everyone in Xiangyang City know!"

Cao Cao's eyes showed a fierce look, and his tone seemed to have a bit of murderous intent.

"The assassination of Liu Biao may fail, but if Cai Hao and Zhang Yun are forced to attack Liu Biao, then Liu Biao will be dead!"

While speaking, he intentionally looked at Jia Xu. In comparison, the strategy Ye Fan gave him was obviously more vicious but also more comprehensive than Jia Xu's.

Cheng Yu's body trembled and he quickly responded: "Yes!"

"Also," Cao Cao continued: "You have someone send a message to Cai Hao and Zhang Yun to get rid of Liu Qi, otherwise everything I said before will not count!"

Originally, he was a little dissatisfied with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. They clearly promised Cao Cao to deal with Liu Bei and Liu Qi together, but they only sent troops to show off, and they didn't see any substantive action at all.

This was also an ultimatum given to these two people.

Cheng Yu knew the importance of this matter and immediately nodded and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, I will do it absolutely!"

At the same time, he silently sighed in his heart: "The Prime Minister's plan is indeed extraordinary!" At this time, he had already come to his senses. If changes happened in Jingzhou, would Zhou Yu just sit back and ignore it? If he sends troops, but we go straight to the water village in the east of the Yangtze River, how can we be invincible?
  "The Prime Minister's clever strategies and ruthless methods are beyond my comparison." Jia Xu said silently in his heart.

Yang Xiu, who has always been proud, has experienced the previous blow, and now he is eager to come up with strategies to prove himself.

But tonight, he felt powerless and depressed.

"I'm afraid I will never be as good as the Prime Minister in my whole life!"

Although Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and others did not think of the deeper meaning for the time being, they also understood that Cao Cao's strategy was not just that simple, and they suddenly felt ashamed.

"Sit down," Cao Cao waved his hand towards Cheng Yu.

Xun You stood up at this time and said coldly: "Prime Minister, Liu Bei can't just sit back and do nothing. Otherwise, he can only let the tiger go back to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles!"

Cao Cao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will certainly have a way to deal with the big-eared thief!"

Then he ordered another general.

"Zilian, I have a task for you!"

The general who was pointed out immediately stood up. He was a tiger general with a full beard and small but gleaming eyes.

This man was a general in Cao Cao's army and a younger brother of Cao Cao. He followed Cao Cao when he raised his troops. He saved Cao Cao several times and was one of Cao Cao's confidants.

"Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao nodded: "I will give you 30,000 troops to go to Dongting Lake to intercept Liu Bei. You must bring Liu Bei's head to see me!"

Cao Hong was stunned and said quickly: "Prime Minister, Dongting Lake belongs to Changsha, Liu Bei is obviously not there!"

"He will go." Cao Cao smiled mysteriously, "You just need to follow my orders. If Liu Bei escapes again this time, don't come back!"

Cao Hong quickly said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, if Liu Bei really goes, then I will definitely come back to see the Prime Minister with Liu Bei's head!"

After the tasks were assigned, the counselors finally realized Cao Cao's full plan.

"As expected of a prime minister, he even expected that Liu Bei and others would evacuate to Changsha. It's really scary!"

Only now did Xun You know Cao Cao's method of dealing with Liu Bei, which was to constantly cut off Liu Bei's retreat, leaving Liu Bei with no way to retreat!

It seems that these three things are not related, but if you think about it carefully, you can guess the connection between them, and they are even interconnected, which is amazing!
  "The previous plan is now starting to work. I thought it was just a waste of time to win over Cai Hao, Zhang Yun and others. Now it seems that the prime minister has been prepared for it."

Chen Qun slowly shook his head and sighed at the ingenuity of Cao Cao's plan.

All the counselors present admired Cao Cao deeply.

……

But one day later, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun received Cao Cao's order.

"Let us get rid of Liu Qi?"

The two of them were somewhat afraid of this order. After all, Liu Qi was Liu Biao's first heir, so it was okay to do some small tricks in secret. If they dealt with Liu Qi openly, Liu Biao would not be able to pass this test.
