Chapter 370
"Wen He is saying that Sun Quan may not send troops to attack Jingzhou?" Cao Cao listened to Jia Xu's words and hurriedly asked.
"Sun Quan originally had no ambition to dominate the world, and what he did was only to defend Jiangdong. Now that Lu Su is dead, he will use this as an excuse to refuse to send troops.
"Compared with that Sun Ce, Sun Quan is far from the same!" Cao Cao shook his head, "Wen He, is there a way to convince Sun Quan?" Although
Sun Quan's attack on Jingzhou had no direct impact on the form of Guandu, it could disrupt Liu Jun's overall layout, so Cao Cao was not willing to give up.
"Lord, it may be feasible to make Huanji send an envoy to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan in the name of condolences to Lu Su!"
"Huan Ji?"
Huanji is a native of Linxiang, Changsha, and after Sun Jian was shot and killed by Huang Zu, Huanjie came forward and met Liu Biao and Huang Zu respectively, suggesting that Sun Jian's body be returned to the Jiangdong generals, and finally Liu Biao and Huang Zu agreed. Therefore, Huanji is kind to the Jiangdong Sun clan.
Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou and appointed Huan Jie as prime minister Bo, and later as the imperial guard of Zhao Commandery. Now he is a general and attendant.
"Bo Xu is indeed the best candidate, and King Ben will order!" Cao Cao immediately picked up his pen and wrote down an order for people to send to Yecheng overnight.
"What does Wen He think of Zidan?"
"General Cao Zhen is both civil and martial, with the style of General Cao Ren in the past, he will be a handsome talent in the future!" Jia Xu also admired Cao Zhen.
"Zidan does have the style of a famous general, but it still needs to be polished, and Wen He will give more guidance in the future!" Although Cao Cao cherished talents and meritocracy, he believed that military power must be in the hands of his own family. Cao Zhen is his righteous son, and in the future, he will hold military power and will not pose a threat to any son, so he is the best candidate.
"No!"
"Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Ru are also good generals, and after I die, I can be Zidan's right arm and jointly support the hegemony of my Wei Kingdom!"
"Lord..."
"Wen He, my health is deteriorating, and I am afraid that the day will not be long!"
"The Lord's justice is worth the spring and autumn prosperity..."
"Man is inherently dead, but why fear death!" Cao Cao seemed very relaxed, but then, he was a little upset.
Among his many heirs, Cao Zhi had the highest talent and he liked it the most. However, he understood that if he prospered, he would definitely choose Cao Zhi. In today's chaotic world, Cao Zhi is the least suitable to inherit hegemony, because he is not a hero.
Cao Chang was very prestigious in the army, but brave and unscrupulous, and sometimes did not listen to the advice of others, and if he inherited the hegemony, he was very likely to be like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.
The most suitable is Cao Pi, but Cao Pi looks docile, but he is very cruel in his bones, which is very similar to him and makes him appreciate it. But after Cao Pi inherits the hegemony, I am afraid that neither Cao Zhi nor Cao Zhang will have a good end. It is precisely because of this that he has not decided.
"Wen He, Wen Ping and Sima Yi's 20,000 troops are about to arrive, and those cavalry trained in Yecheng can also be used, you plan well, we will fight the Han army in Guandu!"
"Lord, with all due respect, even if the civilian army arrives, plus the newly built cavalry, Guandu will still have little chance of winning this battle!" Jia Xu's face was full of worry.
Cao Cao did not speak again, but stared straight at Jia Xu, and suddenly, he laughed a few times.
"Why
is the Lord laughing?" Jia Xu asked puzzled.
"Wen He, since you joined my command, you have not asked or said anything, but only acted according to orders, so I used to call you an old fox. But today, I am very pleased that you took the initiative to raise a different opinion! "
Master, the subordinates are guilty..." Jia Xu hurriedly saluted.
"You are not at fault, what a crime!" Cao Cao waved his hand, "My battle is not for Guandu or Yanzhou!"
"
Since Liu Jun's rise, we have hardly prevailed. But we can be defeated, but we cannot be intimidated! Although you lose repeatedly, you must also fight repeatedly! This is the backbone of all the soldiers of my Great Wei, and this backbone must not be lost!
"Master, subordinates understand!" Jia Xu gave Cao Cao a deep salute, "Subordinates must carefully plan and fight this battle!" Outside
Chengdu, Ma Chao's barracks were very quiet at night. Groups of soldiers on patrol came and went, torches lit at the gate of the camp, and none of the soldiers on the arrow towers slept, their eyes staring ahead.
In Ma Dai's tent, candlelight flickered.
In front of the desk, Ma Dai leaned there, holding a book in his hand, but he couldn't read it at all, and his heart was very disturbed.
Suddenly the curtain moved slightly, and Ma Dai looked up and saw a soldier walking in.
"Is there something going on?" Ma Dai was a little surprised, why did this soldier come to his camp so late? And those of his personal soldiers came in without notification.
"It's nothing, I just want to see General Ma!" The soldier said unhurriedly.
"Are you... Treacherous..." Ma Dai suddenly reacted, this was definitely not his soldier, and reached out and picked up the sword on the desk.
But when he looked up again, he disappeared, the figure of the soldier. Ma Dai wondered in his heart, could it be said that this was an illusion?
"I have no ill will towards General Ma!"
Ma Dai was almost shocked into a cold sweat as the voice came from behind him. He immediately turned around and saw the soldier looking at him with a slight smile on his face.
"Who the hell are you?" Ma Dai put his sword on the opponent's neck.
"General Ma, I have already said that I have no ill will towards you, otherwise you would not have had the opportunity to put the sword on my neck." The other party still said unhurriedly.
Ma Dai withdrew his sword, indeed, if this person wanted to kill himself, I am afraid that he could pierce the back of his heart directly without speaking just now.
"My name is Shi A, and I am here on the order of my family master to show General Ma the way!"
"Your father-in-law, who?" Ma Dai asked.
"King Han!"
"King Han?" When Ma Dai heard this, his face changed greatly, "You are really a traitor of the Han army!"
"General Ma, now I am the Great Han World, I am under the command of the King of Han, if General Ma admits that he is a rebel, then I am a traitor!"
"You..."
"General Ma is now at the point of life and death, and the Xiliang Ma family has also reached the edge of the cliff, and further is the abyss, I think General Ma will not be unaware of this, right?"
"Hmph!" Ma Dai snorted coldly after hearing this, "We have an army of 100,000, and there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, if you talk about the edge of the cliff, it should be the King of Han!"
"My father-in-law said that General Ma is wise and brave, and his eyes are far-reaching, but when he saw it today, he turned out to be a rat's eye!" Shi Ah smiled disdainfully, "How about an army of 100,000? Can you capture this city of Chengdu? Can you go back? You have only one way to die! My lord showed General Ma a clear way, if he was willing to listen, I said, if he was not willing to listen, I would go! "
