And the strategists who opposed the imperial examination system just now saw that Cao Cao had made up his mind, so it was naturally not good to say anything more.

"But... What to do with Sun Quan now? ”

Cheng Yu said with annoyance at this time: "If we send troops to contend with Sun Quan in the south now, then Zhang Lu in Hanzhong will definitely make a move, and there are also scholars in the north, we really can't deal with it now!" ”

"There's nothing you can't deal with, there's no need to take it to heart!"

At this moment, Cao Shuo stood up and said with a smile: "You have to know, the basis of the rebellion is still because of the people, think about it carefully, what was the reason for the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army at that time?" Because at that time, too many people did not have enough to eat, but now? ”

"This..."

Hearing this, all the strategists began to think, and also found that the past few years have indeed been very different from before.

The war-torn Three Kingdoms period is coming to an end, and the quality of life of the people has also been rapidly improved.

Nowadays, people's ideal is not to eat enough, but to eat well.

"Now that the North and the South have food to eat, clothes to wear, and many dreams that were unattainable before, who would be stupid enough to rebel? I think these people might even help suppress the gentry! ”

Cao Shuo said passionately: "Now I will go back and write an article, calling on all the people to protect their own interests, and when the time comes, they will naturally cooperate with the defending Cao army to suppress the rebellion of the Shi clan!" ”

"Hmph, I'm afraid that Gongzi Cao Shuo is too naïve in this matter!"

Cheng Yu disagreed.

"Then we'll see who will be embarrassed then!"

Cao Shuo didn't want to say anything more, after all, facts speak louder than words.

"But... What should we do now about the upcoming Sun Quan? ”

At this time, Jia Xu raised another question.

"Hahaha!"

Cao Shuo laughed, pointed at himself and said, "Now my artillery has not been used for a long time, so let's just use them this time!" ”

"Those artillery pieces are indeed powerful, but you also know at the time that the main reason for Wu Huan's surrender was because he didn't understand, and I think that although the artillery is a powerful siege, when it comes to defense, it is not very useful."

Jia Xu paused and continued: "The people from Jiangdong must have some understanding of artillery when they came over this time, and they may also come up with a strategy to deal with it. ”

"Jia Xu, what you said makes a lot of sense, but there is a mistake in it."

Saying that, Cao Shuo compared one to Jia Xu:

"The defensive artillery is useless because there are too few of them, but now we have two hundred guns!"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, everyone present was immediately shocked.

Even if it was a real defense, two hundred guns were indeed strong enough firepower.

In the middle of the battle, it can definitely play a role in turning the tide of the battle!

"Hahaha, then again, how about you let me lead the troops to battle this time?"

At this time, Cao Shuo took the initiative to ask Cao Cao.

Cao Shuo also knew very well in his heart that there were too many Jiangdong troops this time, and it was estimated that no generals would be able to come forward to resist.

Moreover, whether it is a head-to-head confrontation or in defense this time, the number of Cao Shuo's Flying Tigers is still not enough, and Cao Cao must be asked to borrow a little more people.

"Cao Shuo, you kid... Didn't you lead the troops to fly away this time? ”

Cao Cao was a little surprised at this time.

This is not Cao Shuo's style!

"In all the previous battles, I attacked by myself, or I found a breakthrough on the other side, but now there is no chance."

Cao Shuo scratched his head angrily, patted Cao Cao's shoulder again and said, "I didn't have any tools before, but now that I have artillery, what are you afraid of?" That's it, Ollie gives! ”

"Hahaha, my son said it so well!"

Cao Cao laughed when he heard Cao Shuo's words: "Now let's directly kill Sun Quan's yellow-haired thief, and see if Lao Tzu's two hundred artillery pieces are enough for you to eat!" ”

As soon as the words ended, the strategists erupted in applause.

This wave, this wave is a hard slap.

"By the way, Cao Shuo, where do you want to go with the troops? Do you want to fight Sun Quan or play with Liu Bei? ”

At this time, Cao Cao turned his head and asked Cao Shuo again.

"Of course it's Liu Bei, this big-eared thief is very shrewd, see me go to meet him for a while, maybe I can directly take down all the Jingzhou area!" Cao Shuo said with a grin.

"Good!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and said with a happy face: "This time, I will give you 150,000 troops, see what you can do!" ”

"Dad, although I am leading the troops this time, I don't want to be in charge!"

Cao Shuo directly interrupted Cao Cao.

"Huh?"

Cao Cao was slightly stunned, and then said with a surprised face: "What do you mean by kid, why didn't I understand?" ”

"Dad, I'll lead the troops this time, and it's up to my eldest brother to take command."

"This...."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Seeing that the two of you brothers are so harmonious, I really feel very gratified!" ”

But in fact, Cao Cao guessed Cao Shuo's thoughts.

Leading troops and commanding are actually two jobs.

It's very simple to take command, just sit down in the camp and analyze the situation.

Leading soldiers is a tiring job, and in practice, it is operated by the people who lead the troops.

Cao Cao knew that Cao Shuo's current purpose was to give his credit to Cao Ang.

Looking at it now, Cao Shuo's credit is really enough, but Cao Ang's credit is that he has been working in the office recently, and before that, Cao Ang also led a group of soldiers, but none of them were as great as Cao Shuo's credit.

And Cao Ang will definitely inherit Cao Cao's position in the future.

Cao Shuo did this to pave the way for Cao Ang's future succession, and only in this way can he really be justified and convincing the world.

Cao Shuo is really meritorious now, but he has never competed for the position of heir, and he still thinks about his eldest brother everywhere.

And Cao Cao, as a father, really doesn't want to see fratricide for the throne, that's really annoying.

"Okay, this time Cao Ang will lead the troops."

Cao Cao nodded and said softly.

"Haha, I'll go inform my eldest brother now!"

Cao Shuo said with a smile, and then ran out of the door with a puff of smoke and ran directly towards Cao Cao's backyard.

Cao Ang had nothing to do today, and Cao Shuo was sure that Cao Ang must be at Mrs. Ding's.

"You little bastard, just be angry with me, don't be angry with your aunt!" Cao Cao looked at Cao Shuo's back and hurriedly said.

"Got it, got it!"

Cao Shuo said with a grin, but in fact, Cao Shuo was still very clear in his heart.

Mrs. Ding is now a treasure trove of experience in action, wouldn't it be too wasteful if she didn't brush up points?
