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

Chapter 374: The battlefield is an amusement park

Having said this, Sun Quan looked full of confidence.

This confidence came from the fact that he once dominated Jiangdong at a young age.

With six counties, he could compete with the Central Plains in the north.

Although the world is vast now, who else but him would dare to speak out and resist Cao Cao?

Although Zhou Yu is dead now, he is able to take sole control of the military power of Jiangdong.

Now he has made Jiangdong as solid as a rock.

People from all factions under his rule were shocked by his tactics.

The confidence that comes from holding this power is greater than ever before.

After Sun Quan's bold words, there were the Jiangdong generals such as Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and Xu Sheng behind him.

He also burst into laughter, and his laughter was full of fighting spirit against Cao's army.

In this battle, they must avenge the late Grand Commander Zhou Yu!
To avenge the late General Han Dang!
When the laughter gradually died down, Sun Quan gave a decisive order.

"Pass my order! The ship moves at full speed!"

"I want to meet Cao Cao in the center of Chaohu Lake!"

Then, the flagship ship of the Jiangdong Navy slowly set sail and headed straight for the flagship of Cao’s army.

When the two sides were only 500 feet apart, the ship anchored.

Sun Quan stood on the deck.

Looking at Cao Cao's figure, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Someone come here!" Sun Quan suddenly shouted.

"Go to Cao Cao in a light boat and tell him what I mean."

"I, Sun Quan, wish to meet him in the center of the lake."

"I would like to ask Cao Mengde, do you have the courage to keep the appointment?"

When these words came out, the generals were surprised and hurried to dissuade him:
"My lord, think twice! Do not take any risks yourself!"

"If you fail, what will happen to Jiangdong?"

However, Sun Quan waved his hand to stop the generals and said with a sharp look:

"Do you think that under the protection of our Jiangdong elite navy?"

"Can Cao Cao take my life so easily?"

Without allowing further discussion, Sun Quan turned to the attendants around him and urged:
"What are you standing there for? Go and deliver the message!"

Soon, Cao Cao and others were puzzled by the approaching Dongwu ships.

I saw a small boat coming through the waves from the opposite side.

"Oh?" Cao Cao also smiled and said:
"The war is imminent, is Sun Quan afraid?"

"They sent envoys to surrender in front of the two armies?"

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials present burst into laughter.

Only Sima De looked somewhat helpless at this moment.

Knowing the direction of history well, he did not agree with what Cao Cao said.

In his opinion, this should be more of a challenge from Sun Quan.

But soon, Cao Cao made a decision.

"Pass on my military order! Do not harm the envoy, and bring him to see me."

"I want to see what this Sun kid is planning."

A moment later, the messenger on the light boat was brought ten steps away from Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao's army was surrounding him, so even if this person had any assassination intentions.

With such tight security, it would be in vain.

"My lord, this is the letter found on him."

"It was indeed written by Sun Quan."

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao also took over.

After reading the letter, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha! Sun Quan actually has the guts to invite me to the center of the lake for a while."

"It's really beyond my expectation!"

"If I don't respond, won't it make them look down on me, Cao Cao?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder that shook the sky.

I heard that Cao Cao was going to take advantage of Sun Quan's invitation.

There were also waves of ups and downs in Cao's camp.

Just like the other ministers under Sun Quan before, they were all terrified.

All the civil and military officials present had solemn expressions at this moment.

Their reactions were like mirror images.

This reflected the worries and uneasiness of the Jiangdong generals. "Prime Minister, please think twice. Sun Quan is a cunning man. It may not be wise to attend the meeting!"

Cao Hong spoke with worry, his brows furrowed.

"Father is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how can he take risks?"

"You can't go on this date!"

Cao Pi urged urgently at this time, his eyes full of sincerity and anxiety.

"Father, why should you pay attention to Sun Quan's false words?"

"I think that only by attacking Huanglong can one show his true heroic qualities."

"Why not let the child lead a team of people there?"

"If Sun Quan harbors evil intentions and schemes secretly"

"I will take it down immediately and present it to my father!"

Cao Zhang was a man of strong character, and when he saw Sun Quan being so arrogant, his words became even more passionate.

It can be seen that this guy has tasted the sweetness of the previous decapitation operations.

Prepare to personally let the other party know what Cao's Iron Fist is!

However, after these words were spoken, everyone present had different expressions.

Some people just think that this method is very appropriate!

In terms of status, seniority and qualifications.

Sun Quan is not worthy of Cao Cao meeting him in person.

Instead, it would be more appropriate for Cao Zhang, as his son, to go.

Moreover, Cao Zhang had been through many battles and was extremely brave.

Even if Sun Quan was planning to use some dirty tricks.

Who knows, this kid might be able to take him down!
And if we could capture Sun Quan himself.

Maybe this war could end early!
Not only can it force the entire Jiangdong army to surrender.

Even if we cross the Yangtze River, it is not impossible to pacify Jiangdong in one fell swoop!
However, not everyone present agreed with Cao Zhang.

How could he be given the opportunity to make meritorious service?
The two groups headed by Cao Pi and Cao Zhi also hurriedly spoke out to dissuade them!
Said this move was too risky!
Not only Cao Zhang couldn't go, but Cao Cao himself couldn't go either!
And amidst this chaotic discussion.

Sima De, however, remained strangely silent.

He simply raised his hand to block the sunlight and looked past Qianfan.

Throw it towards the Jiangdong tower ship on the other side of the river.

Sun Quan's move was undoubtedly based on the momentum of his previous victory in Changsha.

Trying to suppress Cao's army psychologically.

This means he regards himself as Guan Yu, and his father-in-law Cao Cao as Lu Su!
Looking at my father's determination and his unshakable determination,

Sima De had a clear mind.

Now Lao Cao will definitely keep this appointment.

This battle, which had not even begun before the smoke of gunpowder, had already quietly begun between the two overlords.

Cao Cao's move was a strong counterattack against Sun Quan's psychological attack.

It not only demonstrated fearless courage, but also was a fierce attack on the enemy's psychological defenses.

If Cao Cao retreats, the morale of Jiangdong will surely double.

If it happens, it doesn't matter whether Sun Quan is testing him with ulterior motives or inviting him sincerely.

All their efforts will be in vain, and their little plans will be shattered.

"Go back and tell your master, Gongsun Quan!"

Cao Cao's voice was steady and his eyes were sharp.

"Tell him," he said, pausing slightly, his voice rising in momentum.

"I, Cao Cao, will go there immediately and meet him in the center of the lake!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, allowing the Jiangdong envoy to leave the camp safely.

Cao Cao then instructed Xu Chu:
"Zhongkang, go and prepare the light boats and speedboats!"

"Choose a few dozen soldiers who are skilled in naval warfare and go with me."

As he turned around, Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi with complicated eyes, which were full of meaning.

If anything happened to him, Cao Pi would undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary.

He had his own ideas about his son's choice.

Then, Cao Cao turned his attention to Cao Zhang who had volunteered earlier.

"Ziwen, follow your father!"

"You can see with your own eyes the demeanor of the fierce tiger from Jiangdong."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhang naturally clasped his fists on the spot and readily agreed!
Seeing this, Sima De also glanced at the boy.

Seeing this silly boy looking so excited, I felt quite helpless.

This father and son really treat the battlefield as an amusement park!
