Chapter 413: The Strategy of the Southern Expedition

Movable type printing or something, but I haven't been able to get it out yet.

It's not that there is a lack of technology, but it's very troublesome to start the kiln, and Wang Xiao really has no money to invest anymore now.

Not to mention anything else, at least we have to wait until the technologically innovative paper is put on the market, and the funds can be withdrawn before we can continue to invest.

Naturally, there is an endless amount of money in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but if you run to Cao Cao to ask for money, it will be a failure.

After walking around the dojo, Guo Zhao carried a package of toilet paper and sweetly got on Wang Xiao's BMW.

The two rode together and returned to the city leisurely.

At this time, Sima Yi had secretly joined Cao Pi, and Cao Pi and Wang Xiao were the most direct competitors.

Guo Zhao is Sima Yi's sister-in-law, and under normal circumstances, she should be strictly forbidden to associate with Wang Xiao.

But in fact, Sima Yi acquiesced, and even secretly cut off the news and did not let Zhang Chunhua know.

As for the reason, it is actually very simple, it is nothing more than a bet on both sides.

This kind of thing was very common throughout the Three Kingdoms era.

The most famous is the three brothers of the Zhuge family, who took refuge in the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu respectively.

In this way, no matter who wins the world in the end, the inheritance of the family can be guaranteed. Even the other two may be able to save their lives.

Sima Yi did it very secretively, and even Zhang Chunhua didn't see it.

Wang Xiao saw it, but he didn't say anything.

Cao Cao was bent on pacifying the world and completely eradicating the last opponent.

He ordered that south of Tongquetai in Yecheng, a Xuanwu Pool was dug to train the navy.

In this way, the goal is already obvious. Jingzhou and Soochow in the south were his next targets.

However, Cao Cao has a lot of famous generals who can fight on the road here, but there is no one who understands how to fight water battles.

Those elite soldiers who can climb the siege city first, and win the merit of the horse leather shroud, have become mountains and seas. But when they got on the rickety boat, they all vomited in the dark.

Not to mention a water fight, it's already great to be able to stay on a boat.

Cao Cao, who saw this scene on the shore, looked very ugly.

He also knew that the soldiers of the Northland were not familiar with water warfare, but he didn't expect that they were unfamiliar to this extent.

In this situation, to fight against Jiangdong's elite sailors, that is for nothing.

"Let's talk about it, what do you think of these."

Back in the barracks, Cao Cao didn't talk nonsense and faced the topic.

The generals took turns to speak, and they all complained that this was not good, that was not good. All sorts of difficulties.

Really useful advice, that's not a single one.

It's not that they don't care, but because these generals are good at land warfare, but they don't know anything about water warfare.

Cao Cao lowered his head and took a glass of water to drink, "Zijian, you say." ”

Wang Xiao responded, came out of the line and saluted, "If you want to rely on training the soldiers of the North to become a dragon on the ship, you won't be able to do it for ten years." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and Cao Pi came out to reprimand, "How can you confuse the army's heart so much!" ”

'Smack! ’

Cao Cao put down the water glass heavily, and the surroundings suddenly quieted down, "If you can't rely on the soldiers of the Northland, who do you have to rely on?" ”

Wang Xiao said unhurriedly, "Jingzhou Jiangdong has always hated each other. Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian died at the hands of Jingzhou. ”

Cao Cao became interested, he leaned forward and asked, "Which one to pick?" ”

"Jingzhou."

Wang Xiao said without hesitation, "Jiangdong is blocked by a big river, and even if there are millions of troops, it is difficult to fly across." In Jingzhou, it is possible to go south from Nanyang in Wancheng and go directly to the edge of Jiangling City. The road on this road is smooth, and we can give full play to the advantages of our army. ”

"Occupy Jingzhou, the families of those sailors are all in their hands, and a few letters can be surrendered. The Jingzhou Navy Division was not much worse than the Eastern Wu Navy Army. Vigorously investing in material support and strict training for three or five years is enough to defeat the Soochow sailors. ”

Glancing at the noncommittal Cao Cao's expression, Wang Xiao continued to talk about his strategic plan: "In the past few years, you can go west to Guanzhong Hanzhong, go north to Pingliangzhou, and open up the road to the Western Regions." If you go south, you can enter Sichuan and Shu and occupy this country of abundance. ”

"At that time, there are four out of five in the world. The army attacked together from all directions, and Soochow would definitely not be able to withstand it. ”

Xun Yu, Jia Xu and the others nodded slowly, this plan is definitely very good.

After a moment of silence, Cao Cao asked, "Can it be done in three or five years?" ”

Wang Xiao thought for a while and said, "If there is no other interference, it can be done." However, Soochow is not a fool, and will inevitably harass repeatedly, trying to strangle the sailors in training in the cradle. If something goes wrong, it may drag on for ten or eight years. ”

"Haha~~~"

Cao Cao snorted and laughed, "It's a good thing to say, but what do you do with all the heroes and heroes in the world?" Lower Hanzhong into Sichuan Shu. Do you know that Shu Road is difficult to walk, how can you get in when people block the road? ”

He also invested heavily in the training of Jingxiang water masters. Training here and fighting in Soochow there, it won't be able to succeed in ten or eight years. And what if you defect? Isn't it that all the years of hard work have been invested in the enemy. ”

He waved his hand vigorously, "Get out." ”

Wang Xiao didn't argue, I know how to bypass the heavily guarded pass, and cross the mountains and mountains to raid under the city of Chengdu. In terms of Liu Zhang's temperament, he will inevitably surrender at that time.

I also know that I can cross the river with iron locks, and set up a camp guard tower to protect the water. He also knew that as long as he treated those sailors with kindness and rewarded, and at the same time left their families and relatives on land, no one would defect.

He knew very well that it was useless to say anything now.

Cao Cao was too anxious, or rather, after defeating Yuan Shao, the strongest opponent, he began to drift.

Prime Minister Cao Cheng believed that with his own strength, he was enough to destroy Liu Biao. When the army arrives on the bank of the river, Jiangdong Xiaoer will inevitably surrender.

Even if he doesn't surrender, those Jiangdong families will take the initiative to join as the leading party.

It is easy to calm the world within a year or two, and the class teacher will return to the dynasty.

If it is really like Wang Xiao said, he can't wait for three years and five years, eight years and ten years.

The current Cao Cao can't listen to persuasion. He only wanted to end all the chaos in the shortest possible time.

When faced with someone who doesn't listen to persuasion, the best thing to do is to keep your mouth shut and don't say anything. Reality will let him know why the world is so cruel.

The training in the Xuanwu Pool continues, but more often than not.

Cao Cao believed that after sweeping Jingzhou, Eastern Wu would surrender. The Xuanwu pool trains the sailors, at most, so that the sergeants can get on the ship without getting seasick.

Wang Xiao, who returned to Xudu, faced a good news.

"Really?" Wang Xiao held Zhen Mi's hand and asked happily.

Zhen Mi, whose pretty face was full of happiness, nodded vigorously.

"Great." Wang Xiao took Zhen Mi into his arms and stroked her hair.

"Husband." Zhen Mi, who was lying in Wang Xiao's arms, said in an urn, "In the next few days, the concubine can no longer serve." It would be better for the husband to welcome the Guo Zhao girl into the house. ”

When Wang Xiao is resting, he always likes to hang out with Guo Zhao inside and outside Xudu.

The people around them were not air, and many people recognized them. This news naturally reached Zhen Mi's ears.

She hadn't mentioned it before, but now that she is pregnant, she finally said it.

Wang Xiao's subconscious acting skills are online, "You misunderstood, we are just friends." I'm not that kind of person. ”

Zhen Mi got up, her pretty face was full of smiles, "Is your husband a concubine a jealous woman?" The concubine has already brought the Guo family's sister into the mansion, but the people responded directly, so the husband should go and take a look. ”

Wang Xiao wanted to cheer happily, but his face was full of embarrassment, embarrassment and unbearable color, "Madam, you really misunderstood." I'm not that kind of person. ”

That night, Wang Xiao stayed overnight in Guo Zhao's courtyard.

Zhen Mi didn't mean to be jealous of Guo Zhao. Instead, they treated each other as sisters, and took care of Guo Zhao as a side room everywhere.

And Guo Zhao is the same, treating Zhen Mi respectfully and politely, and has never been pleasant.

As for Wang Xiao, he appeased left and right and allocated his time as much as possible.

During this period of time, it can be called the happiest day since Wang Xiao came to this world.

Wang Xiao enjoys the blessings of all people at home, and he is too lazy to take care of things outside.

Now Prime Minister Cao Cheng is on the momentum, so he will not be stupid to touch the mold.

But he doesn't look for things, but things will take the initiative to find him.

Before, Wang Xiao thought that Cao Cao would go to Jingzhou and he would be left to guard Xu Du.

After all, it is an ancient practice for kings to go out on expeditions and leave their sons to guard the capital.

But the result was that Cao Cao decided to leave Cao Pi to guard Xu Du before sending troops. And Wang Xiao sent troops with him as a former general.

Wang Xiao was not angry and anxious, but carefully analyzed and analyzed Cao Cao's thoughts in detail.

First of all, I definitely don't want to determine Wang Xiao's status too early.

The second is to appease Cao Pi and give him a chicken blood stimulus.

What's more, Wang Xiao's words by the Xuanwu Pond before stimulated Cao Cao, who was so confident that he was a little blind at the beginning. He wants to take Wang Xiao with him, so that Wang Xiao can see with his own eyes how he destroys the withering and calms the world.

In the end, it was inevitable that Cao Cao went south and took most of the elite soldiers and horses. If something happens to him himself, he must be guaranteed to fall into the hands of his heirs.

After thinking about these things, Wang Xiao still had a trace of confusion in his heart.

After thinking about it for a while, it suddenly became clear to me.

This kind of highlight moment, which can be called the last battle to pacify the world, is, of course, to take the heir of the inner determination with him. Let him share in his glory and be identified before all in the most glorious time.

Therefore, even if Zhen Mi has a body, he must go this time.

Zhen Mi naturally didn't want to stay away from Wang Xiao at this time, Guo Zhao's newlywed Yan'er was even more reluctant, and even moved the idea of going with Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao spent a lot of effort to convince them.

Men, after all, they still have to focus on their careers.

Men without careers will always feel empty, lonely, and cold on the sandbar.

On this day, the army went out of the city and sent off the Chinese military officials to congratulate Cao Cheng on calming the troubled world.

Almost everyone thinks that after Cao Cao went south this time, this troubled world will be completely pacified.

Wang Xiao on horseback watched Sima Yi and Cao Pi in the crowd bite their ears with cold eyes, and then wiped their eyes with the potion, and immediately ran out crying and fell at Cao Cao's feet, choking and saying the words of filial piety.

"Not bad."

Wang Xiao, who was watching all this from the side, showed a slight smile, "A little capable." ”
