Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 68 Cao Cao is afraid: Thanks to my son-in-law Ye Fan!
  Zhang Liao was overjoyed and thought that this time the prime minister would not blame them, but would praise them greatly, indicating that they did a good job.

So he and Le Jin told what happened that night when Gan Ning led 3,000 navy troops and wanted to burn down the battleships. They also said that the Jiangdong navy troops regarded death as death and tried their best to set fire to the battleships. This led to these events. loss.

Cao Cao felt very emotional, Jiangdong's navy was indeed not that weak. With this will to die, he could not easily defeat them.

"Thanks to Ye Fan's reminder this time, I was able to arrange it in advance. Otherwise, I don't know how much damage it would have caused!"

Cao Cao was filled with fear when he thought about what would happen if Jiang Dong succeeded this time. After losing the battleship, they also lost the opportunity to use troops against Jiang Dong.

I don't know how long it will take to rebuild the battleship, and within this time, Jiangdong will definitely not sit still and wait for death.

"Fortunately, I have a great sage named Ye Fan!"

Zhang Liao and Le Jin were a little nervous at first, but seeing Cao Cao's happy expression, they knew that they were stable this time and had achieved military success again.

The loss of hundreds of warships is indeed nothing to Cao Jun, whose family has a great business.

Such a small loss shocked everyone else in the big tent. They thought they would get bad news, but now they are a little dumbfounded.

"Prime Minister, the two generals Zhang Liao and Le Jin have merit this time, but they also rely on the Prime Minister's precautions."

Jia Xu stood up and flattered Cao Cao at the right moment.

Zhang Liao quickly said: "Mr. Jia Xu said that this time it was the Prime Minister's arrangement. We were able to wait and annihilate the three thousand enemy troops in Jiangdong. This is all the credit of the Prime Minister."

Everyone agreed without any reluctance. Although it was flattery, it was also true. Without Cao Cao's advance arrangements, their warships would be in danger.

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, but this time he did not continue to hide it.

"To be honest, I was not able to guess that Zhou Yu would launch a sneak attack in advance. It was not my idea, but someone who pointed it out. This person's resourcefulness is astonishing in the past and today, and even I admire him."

Everyone looked surprised. Cao Cao was finally willing to tell the story about the great sage, which made all the counselors extremely excited.

After all, before that, they were extremely curious about the person's identity and had numerous guesses, but none of them were confirmed.

But this time Cao Cao said it himself, which shocked them and also made some guesses.

Why can the great sage see through Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's thoughts and strategies every time? Can it be said that there are really people in the world who can predict the future?

There is a reason why Cao Cao was not greedy for credit this time and told Ye Fan.

In the past few times, he thought that Ye Fan did not pursue fame and wealth, but was a reclusive sage. He was a fire-headed soldier to hide his identity and not to be disturbed.

That's why he didn't say it.

But now, he wanted to ask Ye Fan to help him, so he had to pave the way in advance and speak out so that others could accept it, but he didn't say too much.

"Prime Minister, I wonder who the master you are talking about is? Let us know before we can pay a proper visit."

The counselors were extremely curious and respectful of Ye Fan, so Cheng Yu directly stood up and asked.

Cao Cao shook his head: "I can't say too much about this person, because Da Xian doesn't seem to want people to know his identity. You just need to know that this person has amazing talents. There has been no such talent since ancient times. .”

It seems that all the words of praise in the world are not exaggerated for Ye Fan.

Everyone nodded, understanding in their hearts.

But they are also very confident that since Cao Cao is willing to tell it, maybe they will know the true identity of the great sage soon. Everyone is looking forward to this day.

"Report, there is news from Jiangdong!"

While everyone was talking, a messenger came outside the tent and shouted loudly.

Cao Cao waved his hand and let the messenger come in. "Prime Minister, the news came from Jiangdong Shuizhai. It said that after Zhou Yu found out about Gan Ning's defeat, he was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood and was in a coma for a day and a night before finally waking up."

After telling the news, the messenger quickly retreated.

This is the news returned by the spies in Jiangdong, and its accuracy is beyond doubt.

After hearing the news, Cao Cao was overjoyed.

"Haha, Zhou Yu used troops against me several times, but he was restrained every time. He was so angry that he vomited blood, which is an advantage for him. I think he must be afraid of our army now."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The Prime Minister is right. Zhou Yu will definitely have a better memory this time, but Zhou Yu is quite conceited. He heals his scars and forgets the pain. I'm afraid there will be another time."

Cheng Yu also stood up and analyzed with a happy face: "Prime Minister, I think that this failure will bring Jiangdong's morale to the bottom. Jiangdong's aristocratic families must have panicked."

"If we apply more pressure, Jiangdong will definitely collapse without a fight!"

Xun You also nodded and said: "Lord, I agree with Cheng Yu's words. Several consecutive failures will make Jiangdong more afraid of our army. Now even Sun Quan should think about joining forces with Liu Bei to fight against our army! "

Everyone is thinking on the bright side, after all, Jiangdong is indeed what they said.

Cao Ren listened, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He knew that now was a great opportunity!
  "Prime Minister, according to what you gentlemen have said, Jiangdong today is simply vulnerable. This is a good opportunity for us to send troops. Even Zhou Yu may not have thought that we would use troops against them before all the warships were completed. What a surprise! "

"And every time it was Zhou Yu who used troops against us. Although we were defeated, our army rarely took the initiative to send troops. This would also make Jiangdong think that we are really afraid of them."

"So, I think now is the best time to send troops to Jiangdong. The morale of our army has increased greatly, and we will definitely win in one battle!"

Xiahou Dun quickly stood up and said: "Prime Minister, you are right. I also agree with the use of troops and applied to be the vanguard!"

"Prime Minister, I am also willing to go!"

All the generals stood up one after another and asked for orders.

Jia Xu also came out and said slowly: "Prime Minister, General Cao Ren is right."

"And if we use troops against Jiangdong this time and win, it will be extremely beneficial for us to deal with Jiangdong in the future."

"First of all, Jiangdong's morale will be completely defeated, so that they will have a fear when facing our Cao army from now on, and they will naturally win without a fight when they fight!"

Xun You also said: "Yes, Prime Minister, if we succeed, the aristocratic families who want to come to Jingzhou will no longer dare to go against us. It will also be of great benefit to us in controlling Jingzhou!"

Cheng Yu then added: "Prime Minister, using troops at this time can suppress Jiangdong, causing the clans in Jiangdong to make a decision. Jiangdong will definitely be in chaos by then!"

Everyone said that based on their analysis of sending troops this time, for them, there were only advantages and no disadvantages.

Cao Cao also believed this. He also felt that every time Zhou Yu used troops against them, they would respond. Those who didn't know thought that Cao Cao's army did not dare to send troops.

"Okay, if that's the case, then use troops against Jiangdong!"

"Cao Ren!"

Cao Ren was immediately overjoyed and quickly knelt down: "Here he is!"

"I order you to lead an army of 50,000 people and send troops to Jiangdong to Jiangdong Water Village. This battle can only be won but not defeated!"

"But you must also understand that this battle is not to defeat Jiangdong in one battle, but to give Jiangdong a sense of oppression and let them know that our Cao army is invincible!"

Cao Ren immediately accepted the order excitedly.

"Yes, Prime Minister!"
