Chapter 366

No matter how Liu Xiu guessed it, Cao Cao could not admit it.

Once admitted, the momentum will be weaker.

Cao Cao changed his words and said, "Liu Jingzhou, the prime minister, dominates the north. He has a strong army. How can he lie?"

Liu xiudao: "Prime Minister Cao, whether it is true or not, I have a steelyard in my heart. If I believe you, there is no need to fight this battle. I will surrender directly. In particular, there are precedents for Prime Minister Cao to lie. "

"Oh, what?"

In Cao Cao's eyes, there is a trace of curiosity.

He wants to hear what Liu Xiu wants to attack with his lies?

Liu Xiuse said: "in the battle of Guandu, Xu you defected to Prime Minister Cao. He once asked Prime Minister Cao how much food he still had in his army. As a result, Prime Minister Cao said that there was no need to worry about food at all, and it was enough for soldiers to use. As a matter of fact, Prime Minister Cao's grain has reached the bottom, and the soldiers in the army are fighting with hunger. Xu you's words pierced the lie of Prime Minister Cao, and then put forward the stratagem of raiding WuChao, so that Prime Minister Cao could turn the tide and lay the foundation for dominating the north. "

Cao Cao's face was pale and said, "the art of war is full of words. It's normal that it's true and false."

Liu xiudao: "it's true. Just like now, Prime Minister Cao has announced that there are 800000 troops going south, which is very frightening. As soon as the news came out, I was too scared to fight. But in fact, it's only 200000 troops. "

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Liu Xiu, after the prime minister won, if you want, the prime minister promised to let you become an official in the court. Even if you want to be in charge, the prime minister can allow it. "

Cao Cao really appreciated Liu Xiu.

This boy has excellent ability and is in line with Cao Cao's temper.

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "well, thank you, Prime Minister. You said that, strengthened my determination to fight to the end. If he wins, it will be hard for Prime Minister Cao to come to Jingzhou. If you lose, you can also become an official in the court. It's a steady business. "

Cao Cao said with a smile: "in the past, Prime Minister Liu Bei and once cooked wine to talk about heroes. Do you know?"

Liu xiudao: "of course I know. The prime minister said that the only heroes in the world are the prime minister and Liu Bei."

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "now it seems that the prime minister underestimates the heroes in the world. Among the heroes in the world, you are Liu Xiu. As for Liu Bei, although he is tenacious, he is also in bad luck. When he meets you, he is restrained everywhere, so that he runs away in confusion and wanders

Liu xiudao said: "Liu Bei was originally a sojourner in Jingzhou. It's only natural that he lost."

Liu Xiu is still sorry for his failure to kill Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei is dead, it means that he has one less threat.

Cao Cao sighed: "Liu Bei didn't die, but Yun Chang died in battle. It's a pity. If he had chosen to follow me, it would not have been the end of today. It's a pity that he is not willing to follow me. Time and fate

Liu xiudao said: "in some cases, it was because Guan Yu left that the prime minister never forgot him. If at the beginning, Guan Yu surrendered and was loyal to you, maybe you don't have such an idea. "

"That's right!"

In Cao Cao's eyes, there was a deep expression.

All of a sudden, Cao Cao returned to the truth and said, "Liu Xiu, the prime minister led hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers to the south. Your troops are bound to be unable to resist. Do you really want to beat the stone with eggs?"

If we can solve the problem of Jingzhou without fighting, it is naturally the best.

Cao Cao's heart, or did not give up.

Liu Xiu said with a smile, "prime minister, remember what I told you at the beginning?"

"What's the matter?" Asked Cao Cao.

Liu xiudao: "at the beginning, I met the prime minister in Xu county. The prime minister said that he would attack Jingzhou. Therefore, I put forward the difficulties for the prime minister to go south to Jingzhou, and enumerated the reasons why it was impossible to capture Jingzhou. Now, I still insist on the same attitude. It is not so easy for the prime minister to attack Jingzhou. Maybe all the hundreds of thousands of troops under the prime minister will stay in the south. "

Cao Cao said: "what a big tone. I'll wait and see."

Liu Xiu also looked confident, and said: "although the prime minister looks at it, it's just the underwater ferry. The prime minister doesn't have 10000 or 20000 people on top of him. He can't cross the river."

When Cao Cao heard the speech, he saw a trace of coldness in his eyes and said, "Liu Xiu, you are arrogant. Ten or twenty thousand troops are lost at the lower ferry. It's impossible. "

Liu xiudao: "prime minister, just have a try."

After a pause, Liu xiudao said: "if the prime minister wants to cross the river from the upper ferry or other places, and then attack the garrison on the south bank, I advise the prime minister to give up his idea as soon as possible. I've sent soldiers to patrol the river. Once the prime minister's soldiers want to steal across the river, I'll find out immediately. "

Liu Xiu solemnly said: "in addition, I have sent troops to block all the main roads leading to the south bank ferry. Even if I cross the river, it will be very difficult to sneak attack. Therefore, the only way for the prime minister is to force him to cross the lower ferry. But it's not so easy to cross the river by force. Tens of thousands of troops under my command are already well prepared. "In a word, Cao Cao's face changed slightly.

Before that, Xun you proposed to divide the troops to cross the river from other places. Now, it doesn't work.

However, Cao Cao is still very confident, said: "Liu Xiu, we will wait and see."

"Wait and see!"

Liu Xiu had a look of expectation in his eyes.

Cao Cao stood up and said, "thank you for your tea. I've drunk it and said goodbye."

"Please

Cao Cao stood up to see Liu Cao off.

When Cao Cao left his boat and returned to Cao Jun's boat, Liu xiulang said in a voice, "prime minister, Liu Xiu still has something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Go ahead, please

Cao Cao was standing on the river. The river was flowing and the boat was shaking. He was a little uncomfortable.

After all, Cao Cao is not used to going by boat.

Liu Xiu said with a loud voice: "a strong dragon does not oppress a local leader. No matter whether Prime Minister Cao is a dragon or a tiger, it's a dragon. When he comes to Jingzhou, he has to dish; when it's a tiger, he has to lie down. I urge Prime Minister Cao to return to the DPRK as soon as possible, otherwise he will make a big fall in Jingzhou and affect the whole situation in the north. "

Cao Cao said: "thank you for reminding Liu Jingzhou, but Liu Jingzhou forgot a word. It's not that the dragon can't surpass the river. Liu Xiu, just look at it. "

"Please

Liu Xiu didn't reply any more, and the ship operator turned around and returned.

Cao Cao also left by boat. When he returned to the land on the north bank, all his generals were relieved.

Cheng Yu said: "prime minister, this kind of thing can't be done again. In the future, we can't be so willful. "

Cao Cao chuckled twice, and his eyes fell on Liu Xiu who had just landed. He said slowly, "Mr. Zhong De, I can tell the difference between the heavy and the heavy. This kind of thing also depends on people. In the eyes of the prime minister, Liu Xiu is the only one who can trust each other. "

Cheng Yu said, "Liu Xiu knows the truth. He has a little heart."

Suddenly, Cao Cao looked at Xun you and said, "Gongda, when I talked with Liu Xiu, he said that he had sent soldiers to inspect the water. On this premise, it is almost impossible to find another place to cross the river. Moreover, Liu Xiu also blocked the land access to the south bank ferry. It's impossible to surprise Liu Xiu. "

Cao Cao said, "now that Liu Xiu is ready, we will give up this idea. Now, do your best to cross the river. "

Xun you said, "prime minister, Liu Xiu's words are true or false, not necessarily true."

Cao Cao said: "since Liu Xiu has set up a camp on the south bank, and considering this possibility, it must be very difficult for us to make a breakthrough from another location. Moreover, it is not easy to cross the river quietly or go south by boat. With Liu Xiu's intelligence, how could he not stop him? "

Xun you said, "now that the prime minister has made a decision, I will not repeat my humble position."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "let's take a day off today. Tomorrow morning, we will cross the river by force."

"No!"

Xun you hears speech, arranged to go down immediately.

Liu Xiu went back to the camp, went straight back to the Chinese army tent, called Zhang Ren, and ordered Zhang Ren to prepare for the war. After Zhang Ren gave the order, the soldiers in the army took action one after another.

The crossbow, catapult and other defensive weapons are all ready.

Everything is waiting for Cao Cao to cross the river.
