Of course, Cao Shuo also knew that there were no natives in Sakhalin.

He just wanted to think of it as a harbor.

Sanhan and Liaodong are his ultimate goals.

Moreover, Meng Gongwei and the others manage the island, which is indeed overkill, and after a period of experience, of course, they will be delegated more important things.

Meng Gongwei returned to Xiapi with Cao Shuo's order.

After reading the order, Sima Yi said: "Gongzi has repeatedly transferred the available people from me, first Shi Guangyuan, then Cui Zhouping, and then you are also transferred. In the future, it seems that I will have to worry more about myself. ”

Meng Gongwei didn't say anything, but just hugged his fists and saluted Sima Yi.

Shi Guangyuan and Cui Zhouping, who joined Cao Shuo with him, were successively assigned to important positions.

Only he was still under Sima Yi, and of course he hoped to get this opportunity.

"I also know that I can't keep you." Sima Yi said: "It's impossible for Gongzi to agree, you can pack up in the next two days and go to Donglai first." ”

"The naval port is not in Haixi, how can you go to Donglai?" Meng Gongwei was stunned.

"Haixi is indeed a naval port, but this time Gongzi is going to establish a navy in the North Sea." After reading Cao Shuo's letter, Sima Yi already understood his deployment, and said to Meng Gongwei: "General Guo Zu is in Donglai, and Gongzi also wants you to go there." ”

As he spoke, Sima Yi handed the letter to Meng Gongwei.

After taking the letter, Meng Gongwei read it and said with some surprise: "Childe didn't tell me this......

"Of course I'll pass it on after reading the letter." Sima Yi smiled and said, "Where do you need Gongzi to say it personally?" ”

When Cao Shuo returned to Shouchun, many things were settled properly, and the craftsman's workshop also prepared the weapons he wanted.

Their names were embroidered on the uniforms of each of the officers and men of the Standing Army.

Finally, someone came to Shouchun and conveyed to him the order to go out.

It was none other than Xin Bi who had been under Yuan Shao back then.

In the antechamber of Cao Shuo's residence, Xin Bi stood facing him.

"With Lao Xin Gong coming to convey my father's military order, I have already ordered the army to be ready to go out at any time." Cao Shuo asked Xin Bi: "Dare to ask Xin Gong, when does my father plan to leave?" ”

"Cao Gong intends to enter Jingzhou from Yingchuan." Xin Bi replied: "After the prince leaves, Cao Gong will lead the army to leave Yecheng. ”

"I see." Cao Shuo said: "I was supposed to stay in Shouchun for a few more days, but the army was about to start, and I couldn't spare time to accompany ......."

"Childe doesn't have to take it to heart." Xin Bi said: "After conveying the order of the Duke of Cao, I still have to return to Yecheng to resume my life." ”

"Gong Xin is back in Yecheng, please tell your father, I am waiting in Yingchuan." Cao Shuo arched his hand.

"Shouchun is much farther away from Yingchuan than Yecheng." Xin Bi asked in surprise, "Could it be that Gongzi will arrive before Cao Gong?" ”

"I'll send troops first, and the number of soldiers and horses is not large, of course I will arrive first." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Xin Bi: "When Xin Gong goes back, just inform my father according to my words." ”

"Since Childe has been prepared, I won't delay here." Simbi said, "Farewell." ”

Xin Bi retreated, and Chen Gong asked Cao Shuo, "Gongzi led a large army to the battle, with so many weapons, how could he arrive before Cao Gong?" ”

"The weapon is for use in the attack on Koto." Cao Shuo said: "It is not necessary to attack Jingzhou at all, of course I will arrive earlier than my father." ”

"Gongzi is bent on attacking Jiangdong, but I don't know what Cao Gong is thinking." Chen Gong said: "In case he ......"

"Of course my father wants Koto." Cao Shuo said: "If it is just a crusade against Jingzhou, it is enough for me to have one army of soldiers and horses, why do you need to use hundreds of thousands of troops of the Cao family?" ”

"What does Gongzi mean from the beginning, Cao Gong is targeting Jiangdong?" Chen Gong suddenly asked Cao Shuo.

"That's right." Cao Shuo said: "This crusade against Jiangdong, I must keep an eye on it all the way, Liu Xuande is in Jingzhou, once he is cornered, he will definitely go to Jiangdong Sun's family." And although the Jiangdong Sun family is not like our Cao family, it is at least full of talents. Fighting against the Sun family can't be too careless. ”

"I understand what Childe means." Chen Gong said: "Although Duke Cao sent hundreds of thousands of troops, it is likely that the one who really broke through the Yangtze River is the son. ”

"That's what it means." Cao Shuo said: "I have ordered the navy to march to the Yangtze River and gather in the Chibi area after the army enters Jingzhou. ”

"The army has not yet set out, but Gongzi has even thought of a place to cross the river." Chen Gong arched his hand and said, "This Zhan Gongzi will definitely be able to make another contribution." ”

"The outcome of this battle is related to the general trend of the world." Cao Shuo said: "If Liu Xuande can be successfully captured and killed, the army will cross the Yangtze River again, and it will not take ten years for the world to be unified." If Liu Xuande runs away and fails to cross the Yangtze River, I don't know when the troubled times will end. ”

"Childe cares about the world, and he will definitely be able to attack the city in one battle." Chen Gong stood up, made a big salute to Cao Shuo, and said, "On behalf of the people of the world, I will thank Gongzi first." ”

"Gongtai stayed in Shouchun, but this time I have to take on all the affairs except Youzhou." Cao Shuo said: "You have to work harder. ”

Chen Gong was stunned: "Childe means ......"

"In addition to Tian Yuanhao in Youzhou, I have ordered Zhongda, Yuanzhi, Shiyuan and others to go out with the army." Cao Shuo said: "The battle in Jiangdong should not be underestimated, I plan to do everything I can, just to win this battle!" ”

Transferred back to Pang Tong and the others, Cao Shuo obviously wanted to make a desperate bet and bring all the fierce generals under his command to the battlefield in Jiangdong.

He made such a determination, and the life of the Jiangdong Sun family would really not be easy in the future.

Cao Shuo dispatched troops, and within two days, Sima Yi and others, who had received orders earlier, returned to Shouchun.

Before they could breathe, an army of 30,000 drove to Yingchuan.

Xin Bi returned to Yecheng and conveyed Cao Shuo's meaning to Cao Cao.

Knowing that Cao Shuo had sent troops, Cao Cao immediately ordered the army to swear and prepare to sail to Yingchuan.

The Cao family did not hide their intention to send troops to Jingzhou.

Jingzhou was in chaos at this time.

Many people have fled their homeland to places they believe they can escape from the fighting.

Almost the entire Jingzhou is losing population, but Xinye, which is in charge of Liu Bei, has not escaped even a single person.

Shinno Castle, the city gates are closed.

Liu Bei stood at the head of the city, looking at the north with a very ugly face.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood beside him respectively.

Zhuge Liang stood side by side with Liu Bei.

"Kong Ming, the Cao family's army is about to go south, and I am afraid that I can't resist them." Liu Bei said: "We still have to find a way to withdraw as soon as possible." ”

"Xinye is indeed unable to resist the Cao family." Zhuge Liang said: "It's just that the lord is gone at this time, will he feel aggrieved in his heart?" ”
