Cao Shuo returned to his residence and asked people to invite Sima Yi and Xu Shu over.

After taking his seat, he said to the two of them, "I met my father just now, and I plan to go to Jiangdong early tomorrow morning." ”

The two of them were stunned, and Sima Yi asked, "Childe wants to go to Jiangdong in person?" ”

"Exactly." Cao Shuo said: "I called you two over, because I have some things to explain." ”

Xu Shu asked, "How did Childe think of going to Jiangdong in person?" ”

"The old lady of the Sun family in Jiangdong misses me." Cao Shuo grinned: "She is very satisfied with my son-in-law and wants to see me again before marrying her daughter." ”

"Childe said it really easily." Xu Shu said: "The Cao family's army is stationed in Xiangyang, and the naval army and weapons under the command of Gongzi will also arrive in a few days. The Jiangdong Sun family is afraid of the son, this should be trying his best to plot the son, but the son is ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Shu sighed.

"Do you both think I shouldn't go?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Of course not." Sima Yi said: "Gongzi went this time, but he put himself in danger. ”

"If I don't go, the Jiangdong Sun family will definitely expect that our army will cross the Yangtze River to defeat them." Cao Shuo said: "Once they are fully prepared, it will not be so easy for the army to cross the river. ”

"Hundreds of thousands of horses and horses of the Cao family gathered along the Yangtze River." Sima Yi said: "As long as there are no variables, the capture of Jiangdong is just around the corner, why should Gongzi risk his life?" ”

"Zhong Da also said that it is possible to seize Jiangdong without variables." Cao Shuo asked, "What should we do if something goes wrong?" ”

was stunned by his question, Sima Yi was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Cao Shuo said: "Don't hide it from the two of you, when I came to Jingzhou this time, I had long thought of crossing the Yangtze River, even if I couldn't erase the Jiangdong Sun family from the list of heroes, at least I had to take away the Yangtze River from them." ”

"We all understand what Childe means." Xu Shu said: "However, it is indeed too dangerous to do this. Childe is the backbone of the army, in case there are three long and two short......"

"I will take Zilong and Uncle to the past." Cao Shuo said: "This time I went to Jiangdong, maybe I will have a chance to reunite with Liu Xuande." We want to paralyze Jiangdong, but Liu Xuande is trying his best to win them over. This trip to Jiangdong may be more dangerous than when I fled Wancheng. ”

"Actually, there is no need for Childe to go there in person." Sima Yi said: "Pang Shiyuan is in Jiangdong, and Gongzi asked people to send a letter and ask him to act cheaply." ”

"If you do that, it will be Shiyuan who is in danger." Cao Shuo said: "The Jiangdong Sun family is testing this time, if I don't go, it will undoubtedly tell them that the Cao family does plan to cross the river." ”

"But Gongzi went, but there were countless people in Jiangdong who tried to murder him." Xu Shu said: "Although the two generals Zilong and Shuzhi are both ten thousand enemies, Gongzi is in Jiangdong after all, not on the battlefield where the two armies are fighting. Once they encounter danger, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the two of them to make achievements......"

"Zirong and Uncle Zhi are ten thousand enemies, aren't I?" Cao Shuo grinned: "Don't forget that I fought with General Lu outside the White Gate Tower at the beginning......

"There's a saying that Childe definitely doesn't like to hear." Xu Shu said.

"Since I don't like to hear it, is Yuan Zhi still going to say it?" Cao Shuo asked rhetorically.

"Whether the son likes to listen to it or not, I have to say this sentence." Xu Shu said: "At the beginning, outside the White Gate Tower, the son was able to defeat General Lu, but he was not strong and panicked because of the defeat. If General Lu hadn't panicked, even if the five sons were probably not his opponents. ”

"Five?" Cao Shuo grinned a little embarrassedly and said, "Yuan Zhi also underestimates me too much, I think three is about the same......"

"I just want to tell Gongzi that Jiangdong is also a fierce general, but you must not underestimate them." Xu Shu said: "If Gongzi didn't go to see Gong Cao, even if he was hindered by death, I would never let Gongzi go to Jiangdong." ”

"Thankfully, I went to see my father first." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Otherwise, I will come back from Jiangdong, but Yuan Zhi is no longer there, how guilty do I have to be?" ”

At this time, Cao Shuo could still joke, and Xu Shu was also very helpless.

He sighed and said, "Gongzi went to Jiangdong this time, and he only took Zilong and Shuzhi with two generals. ”

"What does Yuan Zhi mean ......," Cao Shuo asked.

"I'm going with my son." Xu Shu said: "When I was a teenager, I also practiced swordsmanship, and I dare not say that it is very exquisite, at least not inferior to ordinary people. With me by the side of Childe, it is also a multiplicity of care. ”

"You can't go." Xu Shu wanted to accompany Cao Shuo to Jiangdong, but Cao Shuo refused: "You still have a lot of important things to do while staying here." ”

"But......" Xu Shu wanted to say more, but Cao Shuo raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to say more.

"Please come here because the navy and ordnance will arrive in two days." Cao Shuo said: "The navy was handed over to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun for training, and as for the weapons, find a city south of Xiangyang and put them first." Before I returned, the weapons must not be sent to the banks of the Yangtze River. ”

"These things can be handled by one person." Xu Shu asked, "Why do you want to keep me here?" ”

"In addition to the navy and weapons, don't the soldiers of the three armies need people to control them?" Cao Shuo said: "Zhongda can only take care of one side, how can he be all-encompassing? I intend for Zhongda to control the three armies, while Yuanzhi is to place the navy and ordnance. ”

Xu Shu thought about it carefully, what Cao Shuo said really made sense.

Sima Yi left behind to control the three armies, and the armament and navy must also be in charge of a special person.

"Childe has a point." Xu Shu said: "This time I went to Jiangdong, and I asked my son to be very careful. ”

"Don't worry, you two." Cao Shuo smiled indifferently: "In this world, there is really no place I can't come back to." ”

Cao Shuo said it easily, but Sima Yi and Xu Shu didn't think so.

Since Sun Quan came to power, the Sun family in Jiangdong has been growing the place except for several major wars with Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

The strength of the Sun family is definitely not as weak as the outside thinks.

It can be seen from what Sun Quan has been doing in the past few years that he also has the ambition to conquer the world.

Over the years, Cao Shuo has been invincible in almost every battle, and while his reputation has spread abroad, he has also attracted many people's hatred.

As the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Quan must know that if he wants to conquer the world, the first thing he has to solve is Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo went to Jiangdong, nothing more than throwing a piece of good fat meat into the jackal's mouth.

"No matter what, please cherish the son." Xu Shu stood up, clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "We are waiting for Gongzi on the north bank of the Yangtze River." ”

"You two get things done, and when I come back, I will invite you two to drink." Cao Shuo said calmly.
