"Because of Cao Cao's success in persuading thieves, the general was lenient. This time, general Cao just picked up a bargain." Jia Xu said with a smile.
If Liu Ye had not led his army to destroy Zhang Xun's army, Yuan Shu would not have escaped from Shouchun voluntarily. The 60000 army of Zhang Xun was the main force of Yuan's army, so Yuan Shu was forced to flee, and Cao Cao took advantage of it.
"Hehe, that's all I've said. Mr. Zhongde, please come back." After Jia Xu finished, he stood up and went out.
"Mr. Wenhe, where is the general? I want to see the general. "
Cheng Yu stops his face.
Jia said in a business way: "the senior general assists his Majesty's prime minister in the military and political affairs of the whole country. Now he is very busy. Mr. Zhongde should not bother the general. He can go back and bring the news to general Cao."
"How can we reward general Cao for his meritorious work in fighting against the rebellion?" Cheng Yu slightly angry way.
Jia Xu showed a slight smile and strode out directly. Before he left, his friendship reminded him: "Mr. Zhongde, the general is really busy. I suggest you don't bother to please."
As a special envoy of Cao Cao, Cheng Yu is naturally not satisfied with only getting a salary increase of 500 stones. Therefore, he does not go back these days, but wants to see Liu Ye and debate Cao Cao's merits.
With my brilliant tongue, as long as I see the general, I can certainly persuade him!
Cheng Yu tidies up his clothes and is full of confidence. Unfortunately, Liu Ye has not given him the opportunity. He just closed the door to thank the guests. Cheng Yu spent three days in the city of Runan, but he didn't even see Liu Ye. He had to take a carriage and go back to Huainan.
"Yu is ashamed!"
Cheng Yu bowed his head and said, "Liu Yuqing's contribution to the expedition against Yuan Shu was counterbalanced by the fact that Liu Yuqing left the country without authorization. He only increased his salary by 500 stones in a symbolic sense."
With a smile, Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "it doesn't matter. You know Yu Qing very well. This guy will never suffer a loss. Now our army can easily get the land of Huainan. The harvest is not small. We need to consolidate and digest it."
"Lord!"
Outside the door, there was a sound of footwork, and the actor rushed into the meeting hall from the outside, looking grim.
Seeing the actor's face, Cao Cao doubted, "what's wrong with Zhi Cai? What's the news?" Among Cao's troops, Xunzi was in charge of government affairs and was in charge of the center. Cheng Yu was good at stratagem, while the playwright was the most intimate person of Cao Cao, in charge of the information exchange among Cao's troops.
"My Lord, I'm afraid that our army will fall into a quagmire in Huainan this time." The actor's tone was heavy.
"What's going on?" Cao Cao said strangely: "is it difficult for Liu Yuqing not to be willing to get Shouchun and prepare to send troops to pacify the southeast?" If this is the case, then it is really a great news. The bravery of Xiliang army and the reputation of Liu Ye are really the best in the world.
"No, sun CE and the LORD sent troops to attack Yuan Shu at the same time, while sun CE's emissary and Zhong De came to Liu Ye's army at the same time. Does the Lord know why Sun CE was granted the official post?"
"Is it?" Cao Cao seems to have noticed.
"Governor of Yangzhou!" "Sun CE's army will surely go north and fight our army fiercely."
"It's a clever way. There are really talented people around this general." Cao Cao was both surprised and regretful.
"Since Sun CE is the governor of Yangzhou, Shouchun belongs to Jiujiang County, and Jiujiang county belongs to Yangzhou. Besides, sun CE is ambitious. Even if there is no governor of Yangzhou, sooner or later he will go north to fight with our army." Cheng Yu analyzed.
"But that's good news, too." Cao Cao suddenly said with a smile.
"Good news?" Xi Zhicai did not understand: "Huainan has a network of rivers and rivers. Most of our troops are from the north. They are good at land warfare and do not study water warfare. The Jiangdong army under sun CE's command is a generation that traverses rivers, lakes and seas. Even if our army has a large number of soldiers, it may not be easy to win this battle, right?"
"Ha ha ha ha, that's natural. The good news I mean is that since Yu Qing appointed sun CE as governor of Yangzhou to consume our army, it shows that he has no plan to lead the troops to the South and drink horses and the Yangtze River in a short time!"
Cao Cao said: "taking advantage of this period of time, our army should actively expand and practice the Navy. It is best to defeat sun CE, annex Jiangdong, occupy the danger of the Yangtze River, and deal with the benefits of Xiliang iron cavalry with boats and boats."
At the same time, Wujun is a congratulatory voice.
"Congratulations on your succeeding as governor of Yangzhou!"
"Yes, the general is really clear about rewards and punishments. They value my Lord so much. Hahaha."
"In this way, the Lord is no different from the old thief Liu Jingsheng in his official position. In the year of his weak crown, he will be a great official in the frontier. My Lord will be famous in history."
With a smile on his face, sun CE welcomed the cheers of his men and women, while Zhou Yu frowned.
Zhou Yu turned his head and saw that Lu Su was silent. He immediately went to him, winked at him, and then walked to the corner.
"Brother Gongjin?"
Zhou Yu turned around and said calmly, "brother Zijing, you must have seen the plot of the general."
Lu Su nodded slightly: "it's easy to make our army fight against Cao Cao in the north. In my Lord's temperament, I'm afraid I'm so happy. The people who set up these strategies have grasped the master's temperament, and have insight into the depth of people's hearts. It's really a ghost schemer!""Zijing, come with me to Bofu house at night."
Zhou Yu gave an order. Lu Su nodded and agreed. They went back to the banquet as if nothing had happened.
At night, sun CE undressed and was about to go to bed. However, the guard reported that "the Lord, Zhou Xiaowei and Lu Duwei came to visit."
"Gong Jin and Lu Su?"
When sun CE heard the speech, he suddenly got up. A carp stood up from the couch, put on his coat and went out barefoot.
"Ha ha, it's Gong Jin and Mr. Zijing. Come in quickly."
Seeing sun CE's barefoot welcome, Lu Su was slightly moved, but Zhou Yu nodded heavily: "well, I'll wait inside to talk."
Sun CE ordered people to light a lamp and walk into the inner room. He said directly, "Gongjin and Zijing come to visit at night. What's the matter?"
"Bo Fu." Zhou Yu didn't talk nonsense. He opened the door to see the mountain and said, "Liu Ye made you governor of Yangzhou. The purpose is to make our army fight Cao Jun, but he is a fisherman."
Sun CE said with a smile: "yes, but this is not Gong Jin's strategy that you formulated at the beginning? In this way, the strategic direction of our army coincides with the appointment of the governor of Yangzhou, isn't it
Zhou Yu shook his head: "a really advocated enterprising Huainan. However, the strategic intention of our army was not exposed at that time. When Cao Cao was not on guard, he suddenly went northward and was likely to fall into Shouchun. But now Liu Ye has completely disrupted our army's plans."
