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

Chapter 276: The Lion Fights the Rabbit, Still Needs All Its Strength
Just as a great battle on the Yangtze River came to an end.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xudu.

Even though the sun was high in the sky, my butt was almost burnt.

Boss Cao was still sleeping soundly, enjoying himself in his dreams.

He had no idea about the fighting in Jingzhou last night.

Because his headache was cured, he was successfully promoted to Duke of Wei.

In such a high spirit, Cao Cao worked hard every night.

Every night, he would turn over the cards of his beautiful wives and concubines.

I wish I could give birth to more younger brothers for Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and others!

At this time, a group of wise men and generals outside the door were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"My Lord, haven't you gotten up yet?!"

Xun You was extremely anxious at this time and wanted to rush in.

But they saw two halberds blocking the way, and the guards on duty said sternly:
"The Prime Minister has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb us!"

"Mr. Gongda, please wait a moment!"

Xun You couldn't help but shout when he heard this.

"Cao Mengde! Cao Mengde!"

As a subject, it is extremely disrespectful to address your lord by his surname.

It can be seen how anxious the old man Xun You is at this moment.

But after just two shouts, he was forcibly carried out by the guards.

Xiahou Yuan was also a little angry when he saw this.

He quickly pushed aside the two guards, supported Xun You and asked anxiously:

"Sir, what's going on?"

Xun You shook his head helplessly, pointed at the generals outside, and said angrily:
"The world is not at peace right now! Look at how complacent you are!"

"You've been drinking and feasting all night long. Have you forgotten how you managed to survive these years?!"

"The war is urgent at the front, and there is something wrong in Jingzhou."

"That's when life and death will come!"

"Not to mention that Jiangdong has already invaded Jingzhou!"

"Is there only one Sun Quan in this world?!"

"We still have Liu Zhang in Bashu, and Ma Teng outside the Great Wall!"

"And there is Shi Xie from Jiaozhou! Not to mention that the northern part of the Great Wall and the western region have not yet been recovered."

Xun You's passionate words at this time seemed to have inherited the true teachings of his uncle Xun Yu.

At this time, all the generals lowered their heads in shame and said no more.

Even the two old men, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, lowered their heads and blushed, being speechless after what Xun You said...

There was no way out after Xun Yu took the initiative to distance himself from Cao Cao.

Among the current staff of the Prime Minister's Office, Xun You is one of the few counselors who dares to speak out against the emperor.

And my lord Cao Mengde has been really outrageous recently.

Although the battle ahead is so intense, he is quite relaxed!
Every night he would get drunk with a group of civil and military officials.

This made Xun You, the well-known good guy, unable to bear it anymore.

I couldn't help but give some advice last night.

As a result, Cao Cao, who was drunk, made some shocking remarks in public!
You claim that you have been fighting all your life, so you can't just enjoy yourself?

This made Xun You so angry that his face turned green, and he left the table in anger.

And just this morning, battle reports arrived from the front.

Xun You rushed to the prime minister's residence in a hurry.

Who would have thought that it was almost noon and my master was still sleeping? !
And in the bedroom, perhaps it was Xun You’s recent shouts that were heard.

The noise made Boss Cao turn over and seem to be about to wake up.

"Zhongkang, Zhongkang, what happened outside?"

Xu Chu, who was guarding the door, heard that his lord had finally woken up.

He also hurried forward and replied:

"My lord, it's Military Advisor Xun who wants to see you."

"It is said that there is a battle report from Jingzhou."

Swish! ~ Cao Aman suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this.

Xun You asked for a meeting? Reports from the battle in Jingzhou?

When Cao Mengde came to his senses, his pupils suddenly shrank!
The scene at last night's banquet and Xun You's earnest persuasion suddenly came to his mind.

"Our army is returning north, and Jingzhou is empty!"

"The people in Xiangyang are not yet stable. If we make a mistake, we will lose our army and territory."

"How could Sun Quan not know Prime Minister Cao's intention to recover Jiangnan?" "The lips and teeth are interdependent, how could Jiangdong just sit there and wait for death..."

"Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must be observed."

"Jiangxia not only controls the Yangtze River, but also has more than half of Jingzhou's food and military equipment stored up!"

"Yu Jin is a strict commander of the army, but he is not familiar with naval warfare after all."

"Wen Pin is a great naval commander, but he is not up to the task!"

"Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are newly surrendered generals."

"Zhou Gongjin became famous at a young age and was both a scholar and a warrior. The generals of Jingzhou might not be his rivals."

“A lion fighting a rabbit still needs to go all out!”

"My Lord, it's inappropriate for you to be so disrespectful!"

Thinking of this, Cao Cao broke out in a cold sweat, and at this moment he felt his head was steady.

"Oh, drunkenness caused trouble, drunkenness caused trouble!"

He regretted it so much at this moment that he got up in a hurry and said:
"I was very drunk last night and got carried away."

"Xun Gongda's words of wisdom were so valuable, but I didn't take them to heart!"

"It's true that alcohol and sex can lead to misleading people!"

"Hurry up and invite those Ci Anshengs in!"

Realized that he had delayed an important military matter.

Cao Cao didn't have time to wash up at this time, and walked out while shouting.

And the moment he pushed open the door, he saw many counselors and generals gathered outside the courtyard...

Seeing this, Cao Cao suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He knew that something must have happened ahead!

"Prime Minister!" "My Lord!"

"The Lord has finally woken up!"

When the civil and military officials saw Cao Cao, they all came forward to surround him.

"Don't panic! Tell me in detail what happened!"

Boss Cao tried his best to suppress his panic.

No matter how unfavorable the situation in Jingzhou is, he must not lose his composure.

Xun You also stepped forward upon hearing this:

"My lord, last night Zhou Yu sent Huang Gai to pretend to surrender!"

"A surprise attack on the Wulin camp where Yu Jin is."

"The camp has been burned, and a large number of ships and food supplies have been seized."

"The army was defeated and Yu Jin retreated, with more than half of the soldiers dead or wounded!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Boss Cao's heart skipped a beat.

Wulin Water Fort was the front line of Jingzhou's battle line, and now it was burned down by the enemy.

Moreover, the food and fodder ships were captured by Zhou Yu!

This, this is simply unreasonable!

"It's unbearable!"

"You little boy from Jiangdong, you are bullying me too much!"

Cao Cao was so angry that he was almost out of breath:
"I have hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on the north bank!"

"Zhou Yu dared to take action before sending troops to Jiangdong. He really doesn't know how to live or die!"

"My lord!" Jia Xu also stepped forward and said:
"Although Jiangdong used trickery to break into Wulin Water Fortress."

"Although our army has suffered losses, the foundation has not been damaged!"

"What we need to do now is to reorganize the military and deploy troops,"

"To protect Jingzhou!"

At this time, Chen Qun also rushed up and said:
"Prime Minister, there is no need to be so angry!"

“As the saying goes, misfortune often leads to blessing, and blessing often leads to misfortune.”

"This is a great opportunity for the Prime Minister to pacify Jiangnan and unify China!"

Xiahou Yuan also echoed when he heard this:
"That's right! If we pacify Jiangdong, the overall situation in the world will be settled!"

Cao Cao suppressed his anger after hearing this, and said after a little thought:

"Jiangdong rats, what can you do even if you attack my Wulin Water Village?"

"In Xiangfan alone, I have 100,000 naval forces and 50,000 infantry."

"Eight thousand warships, countless food and supplies."

"Not to mention that we have 100,000 strong troops from the Central Plains at our disposal!"
