The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 18 Liu Bei will definitely die if he doesn’t run away
By then, the epidemic was spreading like a prairie fire across Xinye.

This will inevitably cause people to panic, and Liu Bei's army will collapse without a fight.

And he, Cao Cao, can send his army south.

You can easily capture Jingzhou without any effort.

So what should we do after unifying Jingzhou?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao subconsciously looked to the east.

The Sun family's children in the east of Jingzhou relied on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to separatize the six counties in Jiangdong.

Since inheriting the inheritance from his father and brother, he has cultivated a group of elite sailors.

Everyone covets the land of the Central Plains all the time.

This is definitely a serious concern for Cao Cao!
However, most of his subordinates were northern infantry and were not good at water warfare at all.

When the time comes, how will we deal with that Sun Quan kid?
There is no way anyone would suggest that he throw the soldiers who died from the plague into the river and then go straight down the river to the east, right?

Cao Cao then thought of this vicious strategy.

I couldn't help but shudder in my heart!

Then I felt that my idea was a little too ridiculous.

After all, this kind of trick was effective for the first time.

When this matter spreads out after the war, Sun Quan will surely be wary of it.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt very lucky again!
Fortunately, these three poisonous men are all under his command!
But at this moment, a question came from outside the tent!
"Prime Minister! Is the Prime Minister asleep?"

Under the flickering lights, a hurried figure broke into the tent.

A strong figure immediately jumped out from beside him and stopped him!
Then I heard a loud voice saying:

"Hi! It turns out to be Military Advisor Xun!"

"It's getting late, why did you break into the Prime Minister's camp at night?"

"I thought someone was trying to assassinate you, and I almost hurt you!"

Boss Cao heard that Xu Chu had stopped Xun You.

He quickly put on his clothes and ordered Xu Chu to guard outside the tent.

And called Xun You in.

Boss Cao put on his coat and sat on the bed.

He looked up at the nervous Xun You and asked with a smile:

"Gongda came here late at night, what's the important thing?"

Xun You was almost killed by Xu Chu on the spot just now!
At this time, there was still a cold sweat running down my spine.

But he still suppressed the fear in his heart and said quickly:

"Prime Minister, I do have something important to do, and I would like to advise the Prime Minister!"

Boss Cao also smiled when he heard this and said:
"Everyone in the tent today praised Jia Wen and the three of them."

"Only Gongda remained silent, but he still has worries in his heart?"

Xun You also straightened his clothes one day and bowed in front of Cao Cao.

Then he said solemnly:

"The Prime Minister is wise, but I do have concerns about this plan!"

"All my colleagues are here in the tent today. I am afraid of offending the Prime Minister due to my humble position."

"It made the Prime Minister unhappy, so I didn't dare to say anything."

"Please forgive me for coming here late at night to cause trouble!"

Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, but he didn't care and said:
"You and I have known each other for many years. If you have any concerns, just say it's okay!"

"This is not a military meeting in the tent, so what's the crime?"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he took out two tea bowls, poured a bowl of tea himself and handed it to Xun You.

Let him calm down and explain slowly.

Seeing this, Xun You quickly took the tea bowl and took a few sips.

After calming down and sorting out his thoughts, he slowly said:

"I'll be honest, since the time of the Yellow Turbans, the prime minister has not been able to defeat his ministers by rebelling against them."

"Although he wants to be tyrannical and bring peace to the world, he still wants to rule the world with benevolence."

"After thinking about it tonight, I just thought it was a ploy to throw the body away."

"It is really"

Saying that, Xun You also glanced at his lord.

He bit the bullet and continued:

"It really goes against human ethics and loses the support of the people!"

"To cholera the enemy with the corpses of their soldiers."

"I'm afraid it will destroy the majesty of the imperial court and make the soldiers feel dejected!"

"Now that the plague in our army is out of the way, we only need to wait a few days to completely eradicate it."

"Why bother with such a sinister strategy?"

"With half a million of our army, how can Liu Bei stop him?" "Why should we risk the reputation of the prime minister and the dignity of the court?"

"Putting the people of Jingxiang in dire straits?"

After saying that, Xun You finally put the tea bowl on the table.

He took a few steps back and bowed immediately without saying another word.

Afterwards, the tent fell into silence.

But all he heard was Cao Cao sighing and slowly getting up to help Xun You.

"Why should Gongda be like this?"

"I didn't know that this matter would damage my reputation."

"But there is a saying in the art of war: the first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and the second is to attack the city!"

"Let me ask you, if it were Liu Bei, the new leader."

"Liu Biao of Jingzhou, or Sun Quan of Jiangdong and others."

"If our army were in such a situation, would they be merciful?"

Xun You was stunned when he heard this, then stood up and frowned without saying a word.

Cao Cao did not wait for his answer, looked at the cold moonlight outside the tent and said:

"Gongda only sees that this plan is vicious and cruel."

"But I saw that this plan has three advantages!"

Xun You was also confused when he heard this!
But he was also curious and asked: "What are the three gains?"

"I forgive you for being stupid and not knowing the deeper meaning. Please give me a clear explanation, Prime Minister."

He knew that his lord was the hero of the world.

It must be a unique insight to be able to say this.

Cao Cao also smiled and explained:
"If Gongda thinks that Sima Renda is planning it, he is just seeking profit and meritorious deeds."

"Liu Xuande just wants revenge."

"That's a little too shallow."

"I assert that this matter must have been planned for a long time."

"The depth of his intentions is far beyond what you and I expected!"

Cao Cao's words were serious and thoughtful.

It also hit a secret idea in Xun You's mind.

He immediately lowered his head in shame and said:

"Sima Renda is extremely resourceful and dares what others dare not."

"He did not hesitate to use his reputation to share worries for Duke Ming. Xun You is ashamed."

As a minister, it is natural for you to share your worries with the king!

Sima De can come up with clever plans to defeat the enemy and win.

He was at his wits end and just let it go, still looking forward and backward.

It really loses the name of Cao Jun’s mastermind!
Cao Cao waved his hand and said:

"Hey! Gongda doesn't have to blame himself so much!"

"Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses."

"Sima Renda is good at making clever plans, and he is indeed very capable."

"The first advantage of this strategy is that it can confuse the enemy!"

"Now that our army has oral cloth in hand, the plague is no longer a fear."

"We are going to make a plan to throw away the body to defeat Liu Bei in the new field."

"It doesn't matter even if Jingzhou Jiangdong and others know about the plague in our army."

"Not only can we make them look down upon our army, but we can also make them use the enemy as a weapon."

"Don't dare send troops to attack our army."

Xun You nodded after hearing this, feeling that this did make sense.

After all, not everyone dares to get involved in plague!

If they knew that Cao's army was carrying the plague, who would dare to take the initiative to send troops to resist it?

Seeing that the other party understood, Cao Cao continued:
"Moreover, our army now has a way to suppress the plague."

"But Xinye Liu Bei doesn't have such a clever trick."

"If our army abandons their corpses in new fields, once the plague spreads, they will be helpless!"

"In this way, the previous crisis situation of our army is a headache for them!"

"And once the morale of the army is shaken, Liu Bei will abandon the city and flee for his life."

"If you don't abandon the city, you will die without a burial place!"
