Chapter 181: Cao Cao's Secret Plan
Today is the fifth day of the lunar month, and there are still eight days before the start of the War of the Three Kingdoms.
Entering the wax moon season, although it is the southern border, the weather is gradually getting colder, and the soldiers live on the ship in order to prepare for war, and there is almost no place to warm up, so they can only wrap layer after layer of thick clothes to resist the cold winter.
But it was in such a cold weather that a large heavy dark cloud slowly drifted in the sky, mixed with a howling wind.
In a moment, the dark clouds came to the top of the ships of Cao Cao's army. With a "bang", the torrential rain suddenly poured down, and the rain slapped the wooden hull, making a "crackling" sound. Many soldiers who were still patrolling the deck, seeing this scene, dared to stay anywhere, and after exclaiming, they hurriedly hid in the cabin.
From a distance, the dark clouds covered the sky and the sun, and it looked like evening when it was noon. According to the size of this dark cloud, it seems that even the second half of the month is not a problem. But soon, someone discovered that something was wrong......
In Cao Cao's Chinese ship, Cao Cao was sitting cross-legged at a wooden table, his body was draped in a luxurious mink coat, and there was a charming woman massaging his shoulders behind him.
I only heard this Mrs. Cai massaging Cao Cao while making a sweet and greasy voice: "Meng De, don't keep reading books and ignore others, people's hands are sour, and you don't feel sorry for others." ”
Cao Cao let out a faint "oh", and said without looking back: "If you are tired, go out, I'll let others press it." ”
Mrs. Cai's pretty lips pursed slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's incomprehensible style, but she couldn't give this intimate opportunity to others, so she could only continue to put her hand on Cao Cao's shoulder and massage.
At this moment, a person suddenly bowed in from outside the cabin and reported loudly: "Lord, Minister Cheng Yu has something important to report." ”
Hearing his voice, Cao Cao finally raised his eyes: "What's the matter, say it!" ”
Cheng Yu straightened up, but his face was a little ugly, as if something bad had happened. "My lord, that's right. There was a sudden heavy rain at noon today, and now although the rain is decreasing, it has been raining continuously for half a day, and it is likely that it will not clear up for half a month according to this trend. Most of our soldiers are northerners, and they are not adapted to the climate here, and now that such a heavy rain will definitely make the soldiers unaccustomed to the water and soil. ”
Cao Cao's expression was extremely flat, as if this was not a surprising situation. "Cheng Yu, you don't have to worry too much, I have already handed over the logistics to Chen Gong to deal with, if the soldier is unaccustomed or sick, go to him to get some herbs."
Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but his frowning brows did not ease. "My lord, there is one more thing, if it was just continuous rain, I wouldn't be so worried. What worries me the most is that this time the rain will ...... It's just on our side, and the place opposite Soochow is not a drop of rain! Therefore, I suspect that this rain is not a normal weather change, and it is likely that it was cast by the opponent's Chosen One! ”
Who knows, Cao Cao was not in a hurry at all when he heard this, but showed a smug smile on his face, and said confidently to Cheng Yu: "It turned out to be this matter, good news, really good news!" Hahahaha! ”
Well, Cheng Yu was taken aback by Cao Cao's abnormal performance, what is going on with his father-in-law, could it be said that he is angry and spoiled? He was about to ask further, but Cao Cao continued: "Okay, Cheng Yu. I'm not stupid, but I want them to do it now, you just have to wait and see, I already have a plan for it. ”
Looking at Cao Cao's serious expression, Cheng Yu didn't want to continue talking, in short, he said everything he could say, and he fulfilled his responsibilities, I just hope that the lord really has a good way. With that in mind, he slowly exited the room.
After he left, Cao Cao turned his head to look at Madame Cai behind him and motioned for her to go down first. Mrs. Cai originally wanted to be coquettish, hoping that he could keep herself, but when she saw Cao Cao's cold eyes, she hurriedly choked back the words and obediently retreated to the room.
Snorted softly, although this woman did have a beautiful face and an extremely attractive figure, Cao Cao instantly forgot about this woman as soon as he remembered Yuan Xinwen's appearance. Maybe only a calm and persistent woman like Yuan Xinwen is the most suitable for me, Cao Cao couldn't help but think.
A few minutes later, seeing that no one would disturb him anymore, Cao Cao took out a black pill-shaped thing from his arms, and gently threw it on the ground, only to see a puff of black smoke slowly drifting out of it, and finally formed a vague black figure.
"Is there something going on when you call me at this time?" The dark shadow's voice was dull and slightly hoarse, as if it had been deliberately disguised.
Cao Cao didn't talk nonsense, but recounted what Cheng Yu said before. After hearing this, the black shadow sneered and said, "Sure enough, they saw that you were still using this chain of tricks, but they didn't dare to attack with fire again, so they put their minds on this water." After all, in this red cliff, the most important thing is water, of course he will borrow it! ”
Cao Cao nodded: "Thanks to your reminder before, otherwise I really wouldn't have thought of this wonderful plan." Now that the other party has walked into the trap we have set, let's continue to do the same. By the way, do you have any other suggestions? ”
The black shadow pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Do you know if the other party has any new Star Chosen ones recently?" ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously explained: "Yes, yes, it is said that Liu Bei has recently added three new people. One of the generals I know, Zhao Yun, one of the five tiger generals of Shu Kingdom, is very strong and should not be underestimated! As for the other two people, one is Zhuge Liang and the other is Huang Yueying, I don't know much about them. ”
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this Zhao Yun, but you must be careful with that Zhuge Liang, although I haven't fought with him, my intuition tells me that he is definitely not a simple person."
Cao Cao secretly remembered the reminder of the black shadow, after all, Zhuge Liang's name was big enough, and he was not stupid, so he would definitely not underestimate Zhuge Liang!
After a while, the black shadow slowly retracted, forming a black pill again, lying on the ground. After picking it up, Cao Cao sat down relaxedly. He looked at the Dongwu fleet on the opposite side through the cabin, and said to himself: "Next, let me see what else you can come up with, I hope you don't just use these boring means, otherwise if this war is won too easily, it will be difficult to live forever!" ”
But soon, he withdrew his gaze, raised his hand and slowly wrote a name on the paper - Zhao Zilong! "Zilong, Zilong, I gave you two months to think, and you are still so stubborn to join Liu Bei. Actually, if you stay with me, after this war is over, why not give that big joe to you, compared to the whole world, I still pay it! ”
As he spoke, he shook his head amusedly, as if he knew that his idea of a ** cannon was meaningless. Lowering his head, he found where he had read and continued to read.
