Chapter 16: Cao Cao's Thoughts, Strategists' Words

The next day, Chu Luo took his 1,000 soldiers and Liu Feng, who had just come to take refuge, to the direction of the East China Sea.

Chu Luo wanted to develop his own power in the place where robbers and pirate merchants gathered, so that he could slowly conquer the Central Plains with this as the center.

Of course, there are many roads to the East China Sea, but Chu lost the shortest distance, and he needs to pass through Guandu, Chenliu, Shiyang, Dingtao, and Xiaopei to reach the territory of the East China Sea.

The news of Chu Luo's departure soon spread to the ears of the princes from all walks of life, and the princes from all walks of life thought that Chu Luo was preparing to go to Dong Zhuo, so they ordered all cities to strictly defend and capture Chu Luo alive.

Of course, only Cao Cao did not let his brother arrest Chu Luo, but went with him.

Cao Cao's big tent, Cao Cao had a kind of heroic spirit, sat on the big seat, looked around at the Wenchen generals below, and asked, "What is the reason for Chu Luo's escape?" ”

For Cao Cao, Chu Luo is a rare tiger general, and he only needs a short weapon to kill the enemy's capital, how powerful this is.

He can't help but have a love for talent, after all, he is a person who wants to do great things.

Faced with Cao Cao's question, everyone looked at each other a few times, and finally one person stood up, that person had a beautiful appearance and a dignified appearance, it was Xun Yu, the words were ruo, and Yingchuan Yingyin was also a person.

"Wen Ruo, what do you think is the reason?" Cao Cao's pupils constricted, his eyes focused on Xun Yu, and he asked in a low voice.

"Lord, if Chu Wujiang leaves like this, according to his direction, he will reach as far as the East China Sea. I think Chu Wujiang will not vote for Dong Zhuo, but go to the East China Sea to collect robbers and pirates, this is the real purpose. Xun Yu replied slowly, his mouth like a river.

"Bandits and pirates are rampant in the East China Sea, but there are also many merchants in the past. If I can co-opt the robbers and pirates, I am afraid that this Chu Wujiang's team will get bigger and bigger, in my opinion, he is not only a tiger general but also a smart person, this person will definitely be recruited in the future and used by me. Cao Cao's eyes were blazing, and his momentum was like a rainbow. Chu Wujiang is bound to win, so that he can make contributions to himself and realize his lofty ambitions.

"But the lord and Wen Ruo don't forget, there are not only robbers and pirates in the East China Sea, but also an elite army."

Everyone asked, only to see a man with a beautiful beard and a length of eight feet and three inches walking out of it. This is Cheng Yu, the word Zhongde, a native of Dong'a, East County, Yanzhou.

"Oh, why did Zhongde say that?" Cao Cao's fine eyes stared straight at Cheng Yu, listening to what he thought of Chu Wujiang and what he meant by his words.

"Could it be that Zhongde refers to the guards of the East China Sea, the Qingxu sailors." Xun Yu suddenly realized and asked.

"Exactly, Qingxu sailor!" Cheng Yu nodded and replied.

"Qingxu sailor, is there anything special?" Cao Cao's face was full of doubts, and he asked in a voice like a bell.

"Lord, Qingxu sailors are elite soldiers who fight on the water, originally Qingxu sailors were only in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and then because of Langya and other borders in the East China Sea, pirates were rampant, and the imperial court sent Qingxu soldiers to suppress it. As far as I know, there are more than 5,000 Qingxu sailors in the East China Sea, and all of them are experts in water warfare. Cheng Yu replied one by one.

"In my opinion, if Chu Wujiang goes to the East China Sea and recruits Qingxu sailors, this is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger, after all, there are many riverside cities, and this sailor has a very strong combat ability along the river, presumably Chu Wujiang has expanded the team and the first city to get the city must be Qingzhou." Cheng Yu worried: "Besides, today's princes seem to be harmonious, if they attack Luoyang, they will definitely recruit their own soldiers and horses to divide the world, but they will each set themselves up as kings, so Chu Wujiang will take advantage of the current situation, the princes will meet, and if they conquer the city, they will be able to occupy several cities for his use." ”

"In your opinion, what should I do?" Cao Cao asked lightly.

"Lord, you should learn from Chu Wujiang's wisdom, send a few generals with a team of soldiers and horses, occupy a few cities, and then attack Luoyang, the lord can't chase Dong Zhuo, but should immediately return to Chenliu and raise troops to fight in all directions." Cheng Yu's mouth is like a sword blade, step by step, he said.

"Well, what does Wen Ruo think of Zhongde's plan?" Cao Cao's eyes were like sharp needles, he looked at Xun Yu proudly, and asked.

"Zhongde's opinion, appropriate. Finally, Chu Wujiang went to him first, and when the time was ripe, the lord was recruiting him, if he was naturally good, if he didn't follow, he would meet each other, and if he was defeated, he would naturally take refuge in the lord. Xun Yu said sharply, his expression was colorful, and he seemed to be smiling.

"Well, I'll just listen to you. Where is Lejin and Li Dian. ”

Cao Cao's voice was as loud as a cow, and he asked the cadres below.

"Le Jin is here!" I saw a short, sturdy and slender man with a short appearance, not tall stature, but a very strong and burly man who walked out of the general team majestically.

This is Lejin Zi Wenqian, a Yangping patriot, and a descendant of Cao Cao.

"Li Dian is here!" I saw that after Dele came in and out, another person walked out of the general's ranks. This person is noble and elegant, and he looks personable, not like a general at all, but thinks of a son. He is Li Dianzi Mancheng, a native of Juye County, Shanyang County, and is known as an elder in the army.

"I order you to recruit troops for me, and there must be no mistake in occupying the cities centered on Chen Liu." Cao Cao stood up and gave orders.

"Yes!" Li Dian and Le Jin hugged their fists one after another and obeyed their orders.

Li Dian and Le Jin retreated after receiving the order, Cao Cao sat down again and thought about it, and said: "Wen Ruo, write a letter to Chu Wujiang, saying that I intend to recruit him as a general, see how he answers." ”

"Yes!" Xun Yu gave up the order, and then retreated to complete what Cao Cao explained.

"Chu Wujiang, Chu Wujiang, I want to see where you can go, whether it's Jackie Chan or an adult." Cao Cao thought inwardly.

When I talked to Liu Bei at the beginning, I felt that Liu Bei said that the world depended on loyalty, and he Cao Cao thought that the world depended on the army and strategy, and he also laughed at Liu Bei for being pedantic and naΓ―ve. Now from the incident of Chu Wujiang abandoning Zhang Yang and leaving, he firmly believes in his own ideas even more.

Loyalty, what can you top?

Can it withstand tens of millions of iron riders? Can you stand up to the strategy?

Can it withstand the elusive human heart?

In his Cao Cao's view, only a brave and warlike army can conquer the Quartet, dominate the world, and become a king or defeat a strong army.

Even if your walls are tall and mighty, I have thousands of soldiers and horses who will be able to break through the sky.

Of course, the current Cao Cao couldn't have imagined that letting Chu Wujiang go was the stupidest act in his life, because he didn't know that Chu Wujiang was his biggest rival in the future, not that Liu Bei Liu Xuande.

When Cao Cao lost the Battle of Chibi one day, he suddenly repented.

"Letting Chu Wujiang go at the beginning was the biggest mistake in my life."
