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

Chapter 400: Opportunity is rare

Every word of Zhuge Liang's was of great weight and powerful.

At this time, the room was silent except for the sound of wind outside the window.

It seems to be lamenting the precarious future.

Faced with Zhuge Liang's earnest and profound persuasion.

Zhang Fei, who strongly advocated taking advantage of the situation to rob, was also speechless for a moment.

The flame of gloating in my heart quietly extinguished.

He might have secretly rejoiced at Sun Quan's defeat.

But he could not betray the oath he made with Liu Bei to restore the Han Dynasty.

Guan Yu originally planned to just sit back and watch.

After a long silence in which his eyes met with Zhuge Liang's.

He also clasped his fists in front of him silently, waiting for the military advisor's orders.

He knew very well that once Sun Quan was overthrown, his brother Liu Bei's cause of reviving the Han Dynasty would also be difficult.

Seeing this scene, the tension in Zhuge Liang's chest finally relaxed a little.

Then he concentrated and shouted softly: "Guan Yu, receive the order!"

"I order you to lead 20,000 troops and march out from Leiyang immediately."

"It's just bluffing, pretending to attack Lingling."

"The troops will march straight to Xiangfan, and we must make our presence known along the way."

"That's why Xu Huang and his men guarding Jiangling didn't dare to lead their troops eastward."

Guan Yu heard the order and said in a deep voice: "Guan obeys your command!"

After saying this, he strode out of the door.

Zhuge Liang turned his eyes to Liao Hua and ordered in a deep voice:

"Liao Hua, I order you to immediately gather 15,000 elite naval forces."

"Follow me upstream to help Jiangdong."

"Although this force is not enough to influence the battle situation in Jiangdong, it is enough to threaten Cao's flank."

"Sun Quan of Jiangdong owes my master a favor!"

Upon hearing that the military advisor still wanted to rush to Jiangdong for assistance, Liao Hua hesitated for a moment.

But in the end he replied "yes" in a deep voice and went out immediately to inspect the troops.

Zhang Fei, who was standing by, saw Guan Yu and Liao Hua both took orders and left.

He was so anxious that he asked, "Military Advisor, where am I?"

"Where should I go?"

Facing Zhang Fei's questioning, Zhuge Liang looked solemn.

"Yide, you need to stay in Guiyang."

"Remember, when we are not here, you must not drink or criticize the soldiers."

"The past of Xuzhou is still vivid in our minds!"

"Don't let your momentary pleasure ruin the lord's great cause!"

At this time, Ma Liang also entered the government hall.

Upon seeing this, Zhuge Liang also opened his mouth and said:

"Ji Chang, after I leave, Yi De will be under your supervision."

"If he drinks and does something bad, you should reprimand him immediately and don't worry about his face!"

Zhang Fei glanced at Zhuge Liang with grievance when he heard this:

"Military Advisor, it's really boring to ask me to stay in Guiyang without drinking a drop of alcohol!"

Zhuge Liang also comforted him after hearing this:
"Yide, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you."

"It is indeed the current situation, it is extremely urgent!"

"After we leave, you will be the only one who can guard this place!"

After he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang took a letter from the desk.

This was the letter he had hastily written in a short while while Liao Hua was there to summon Guan and Zhang.

At this time, he handed it to Ma Liang very solemnly and said:
"Ji Chang, this letter describes the sudden changes in Jiangdong."

"Please send a fast horse to deliver it quickly and make sure to present it to the lord!"

"I have another message for you, my lord."

"The world is changing rapidly, so don't miss the opportunity!"

Ma Liang responded firmly:
"Don't worry, military advisor. Liang will definitely send an envoy himself."

"Quickly deliver the letter to Yulin and hand it over to the lord."

Zhuge Liang had great confidence in Ma Liang's ability to get things done.

He immediately picked up the feather fan on the corner of the desk and walked out of the room.

In the days that followed, the land of Jiangnan was shrouded in thick clouds of war.

Troops and horses were frequently mobilized between cities, and even the common people who were not familiar with military affairs could feel the unusually tense atmosphere.

They all told their families not to leave the house unless necessary to avoid being caught in a war.

However, compared to the turbulent Jiangdong and Jingnan.

The Ruxu Ferry, which had just experienced an incident, seemed unusually quiet.

It seems to be far away from the world's trend.

At this time, the Yangtze River was surging, and a warship was seen floating on it.

On the deck, Sima De and the bored Cao Zhang sat opposite each other.

Holding a simple fishing rod, he silently hung it over the river.

It seems that what he is fishing for are not mortal fish, but the princes coming and going from all directions.

However, Sima De was looking at Cao Zhang, who looked like he was about to fart from boredom.

He also said helplessly: "Ziwen, you don't have to force yourself to follow me out."

"If you find it boring, you might as well go back to the camp and read a few more military books."

Cao Zhang also laughed out loud upon hearing this, and said in high spirits:

"Ren Da, you are joking! As the saying goes: reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."

"I've long been bored with just a few military books."

As he spoke, his laughter suddenly stopped, and he sighed:
"But compared to sitting on the river, I am more afraid of having nowhere to make achievements."

"Uncle Zilian, Generals Zhang Liao, Li Dian, etc."

"We all made great contributions in the battle the night before, but I was the only one who missed such a grand event!"

"How can Renda ask me to stay in the camp in this situation?"

We heard this and smiled meaningfully, shaking our heads slightly:
"Ziwen, don't worry."

"In my opinion, Sun Quan will be eliminated as long as he is not eliminated."

"On the battlefield, you will have endless opportunities to make achievements."

"Besides, you have already made great contributions in the previous battles."

"Now we should restrain our edge and bide our time."

Speaking of this, Sima De also thought of Cao Pi who was also in the camp at this time.

This ambitious man is truly a man with hidden talents!
Since the military meeting before the war that day, he has been silent.

There is definitely nothing good going on here!
That's why Sima De deliberately let Cao Zhang stay behind to guard the central army on the night before the battle.

Compared to Sun Quan or Liu Bei who is far away in Jingnan.

This is the Emperor Wen of Cao Wei who usurped the Han Dynasty and established the country.

They are the biggest enemy around them!
Moreover, they are now in the south of the Yangtze River, which is not as flat as Guanzhong.

If we allow Cao Zhang to act recklessly, we will definitely suffer!

This kid still has a long way to go in his future as an emperor.

If he is not careful, he will capsize in the ditch on the battlefield of Jiangdong.

Then who else can Sima De help to ascend the throne?

You have to know that Cao Chong is still young, and he doesn't like Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

If Cao Zhang died here, all his previous investments would be wasted!
At this moment, Sima De felt the fishing rod in his hand vibrate slightly.

Seeing this, he interrupted his thoughts and raised the club without hesitation!
When he reeled in the line, he saw that it was a turtle. He was overjoyed and said:
"Great! The old turtle took the bait. It was worth the trip."

After saying this, he called over Xu Shu who was accompanying him.

"Yuanzhi, take this to the kitchen and have it cooked."

"Send it to General Le who was injured earlier, to help him recover and strengthen his body."

"If I have any children, I will send them to the captive Jiang Qin."

"This man is so brave and rare, so let him live."

Cao Zhang, who was standing by, heard this and asked in confusion:
"Renda, could this person be recruited?"

Sima De also shook his head and laughed when he heard this:

"No, Ziwen misunderstood."

"My father-in-law is a man who loves talents. He regards a brave general as a treasure."

"Now that we have captured this general, we will naturally be willing to surrender."

"In the next few days, you can go to their barracks more often."

"If he can't see you, he will find an opportunity to drag General Le along."

"The friendship between the two of them was a life-and-death bond, and their mutual appreciation on the battlefield."

"Perhaps we can persuade Jiang Qin to surrender."

"If he still refuses to comply, you can tell him."

"You can bring his family out from Jiangdong to relieve him of his worries."
