"Zixiao ——!" A long and mournful cry sounded, deafening and long.

Cao Ren's body had already been arranged by Xun Yu to be buried, and Cao Cao was lying on his coffin and weeping bitterly.

Seeing Cao Cao's grief-stricken appearance, the soldiers under his tent stood silently on both sides, and no one dared to speak out to comfort him.

"Quickly order the army to prepare, and after seven days, I should raise 100,000 soldiers and wipe out the Jiangdong Sun clan!" Cao Cao cried for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, his tone full of endless hatred.

"Lord, don't do it!" When Xun Yu heard that Cao Cao was going to attack Jiangdong within seven days, his face changed in shock, and he didn't care if he would upset the lord, so he hurriedly spoke.

"Can't? Why not? Hearing that Xun Yu opposed sending troops, Cao Cao's face was obviously displeased. Just because it was Xun Yu who spoke, if it was someone else, I am afraid that Cao Cao would have been furious and scolded.

"In the Battle of Guandu, our army defeated Yuan Shao, and it was the time when the soldiers were mighty in the world! Looking at the Central Plains, who else dares to compete with me now! I mentioned 100,000 troops to sweep through Jiangdong, why not! "Cao Cao lost Cao Ren, it was when he was in pain, how could he easily listen to the advice of others.

Although Yuan Shao was defeated, his momentum still existed, and with the power of Hebei, it was not difficult to gather another 100,000 soldiers. What's more, Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui and others are all ambitious, and they are by no means easy to match. This time, our army and Yuan Shao were at war, and Ma Teng and other troops also happened to be busy pacifying the Qiang Rebellion, if it weren't for the Qiang Rebellion, who knows if they would have waved their troops to attack Xuchang like Sun Jian? And now that the turmoil has been decided, if our army goes south desperately, maybe Ma Teng and Han Sui will make some changes! Xun Yu persuaded bitterly, "What's more, there is Liu Biao in the south, although he has a gap with Sun Jian, but his lips are cold, if the lord mentions a 100,000-strong army to invade the south, who can guarantee that he will not choose to unite with Sun Jian because he is afraid?" In short, it's far from the time to use troops to the south! ”

Cao Cao's face was pale, although he didn't like Xun Yu to refute him like this, there was no doubt that what the other party said was true.

"Fengxiao, do you have any good plan that can help me successfully conquer Jiangdong?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jiadao.

When Guo Jia saw Cao Cao asking himself, he could only smile helplessly, he was just a strategist, not an immortal, how could he come up with a so-called good strategy without looking at the conditions.

"There is nothing to be done about the subordinates." Guo Jia shook his head and said lightly.

"Alas!" Cao Cao also knew that he was a strong man, but he was depressed in his chest.

"Why can Sun Jian attack my city unscrupulously, and it will be difficult for me to attack Jiangdong!" Cao Cao asked.

When everyone heard this, they were all silent, looking at each other speechlessly.

At this time, an unknown civil official stood up and explained to Cao Cao in detail: "My lord, Sun Jian has ruled Jiangdong for many years, and there are no strong enemies around him, and the only people who are worried are Shanyue and Liu Biaoer. However, the mountains and the mountains are all the people of the mountains, although they can cause some trouble to Sun Jian, but after all, it is only a little trouble. And Liu Biao is old, his ambition has long been gone, after Sun Jian captured Jiangxia, he was afraid of Sun Jian like a tiger and did not dare to move lightly. Therefore, Sun Jian was able to have no worries and tried his best to attack Xuchang in the north. However, the lord is different, the lord is in the heart of the Central Plains, with Ma Teng in the west and Yuan Shao in the north, both of which are in great trouble, so they can't easily go south in a hurry, just in case of accidents. ”

After the civil official finished talking, there was a slight smug look on his face. Didn't the lord just ask such a simple question, why couldn't these famous advisers answer one by one? It seems that I am still very talented, I wonder if the lord will reward me with my answer because he is satisfied with my answer?

He didn't know that at this time, whether it was Xun Yu, Guo Jia, or other advisers, they were all staring at him with a fool-like gaze.

Oh my God, how did such a stupid person get mixed up with Cao Cao's account!

Indeed, the truths that the man said couldn't be simpler, but wouldn't Cao Cao understand these truths and need someone to tell him? This guy is still talking here and talking at length, how much does he look down on his master?

Cao Cao's previous question was just a slightly indignant exclamation, not really to ask why Sun Jian was able to call and he couldn't. Everyone knows this, so naturally they won't stupidly step forward to answer. But I didn't expect that there were still people who were stupid to this extent among his colleagues, and I really thought that Cao Cao was asking, which was obviously belittling his master's IQ!

This guy is miserable, everyone said silently in their hearts. Even if it doesn't hurt now, it will definitely be hard in the future.

Rao is Cao Cao was furious at this time, and he was not only slightly amused by the "serious" guy in front of him. Eh, what's his name?

Cao Cao didn't immediately punish this blind guy, after all, he "asked" and people answered, which was reasonable, and there was no reason to punish him at all. But in the decades that followed, the obscure civil official never received the slightest promotion, and remained in this pitiful position until his retirement.

However, in the end, under the persuasion of everyone in turn, although Cao Cao was unwilling and unwilling, he finally withdrew the idea of attacking Jiangdong.

However, Sun Quan, who was captured by Yu Ban from Sun Jianjun's camp, had to face a miserable fate. In Cao Cao's eyes, Sun Quan must die, and he wants to use the life of Sun Jian's son to pay tribute to Cao Ren's heroic spirit.

Sun Jian also cherished this son's life, otherwise he would not have retreated to Wancheng. Xun Yu said that whether to release Sun Quan had to wait for Cao Cao to come back, so as soon as the news of Cao Cao's return to Xuchang came, he immediately sent an envoy to discuss the release of Sun Quan.

Cao Cao directly ignored the envoy and didn't even see him.

At first, Sun Jian thought that the weight of the envoy was not enough, so he assigned Lu Kang from the Lu family in Jiangdong to send an envoy to Xuchang to make sure that he asked Sun Quan to return.

The Lu family is a famous family in Jiangdong, and among the four major scholar families in Jiangdong, the Lu family ranks first. And Lu Kang is the contemporary head of the Lu family, who is already seventy years old this year, and is a famous person who is famous in Jiangzuo.

Lu Kang may not be famous in later generations, but his grandson is very famous, that is Lu Xun who burned the company camp.

In Sun Jian's opinion, this Lu Kang's name is big enough, let him go and discuss with you Cao Cao to give you face, you should also return my son to me.

So, Sun Jian didn't care about respecting the old and the virtuous, and directly ordered the seventy-year-old man to go to Xuchang to negotiate with Cao Cao.

Lu Kang has old arms and legs, how can he want to travel long distances? However, disobeying Sun Jian's orders may lead to some very serious consequences, and second, Sun Jian also promised that if Sun Quan was released, he would definitely pay the Lu family a heavy reward, and Lu Kang could only reluctantly set off in the end.
