"Cao Mengde and his people are also known to me, and he is very sensible, and he will never dare to fight with me at this time, but he is no longer desperate to fight with me at this time. So although there is a war, this battle has a limit, for the morale of the two armies, so this battle will not really be out of control. ”

Wei Tao smiled slightly, and finally said slowly.

"And since our army will have to fight with the Cao army sooner or later, then it is necessary to weaken the power of the Cao army as soon as possible, and only in this way can we better suppress the Cao army in the future. The scale of this battle is not large, so it will depend on the strength of the generals of the two armies, and you also know the strength of Lu Bu, but now my strength is comparable to it, it is a battle, as long as this battle can suppress its sharpness, then even if it is against the Cao army in the future, there will be nothing to fear. ”

Zhou Yu and Jia Xu are both resourceful, and after a little thought, they nodded slightly.

"What the lord said is very true, I only see what is in front of us, but the lord has already thought of the future trip, if I guess correctly, I am afraid that the real intention of the lord is not so much."

Zhou Yu is elegant by nature, and when he saw Wei Tao having such foresight, he was even more pleased, and immediately smiled.

"Gong Jin has seen it, and you have also seen it, that Cao Mengde commands several states, if it is a strong attack, even if it is not a tragic siege, then the casualties will be serious, if I can show my strength step by step, I can reduce his morale, thinking that he will be persuaded to surrender in the future."

Wei Tao paused slightly, there is no one here who is more loyal to the Han than himself, so he should make it clear.

"If the situation is like today, I'm afraid that except for that Liu Bei, unless it is me or Cao Mengde who willingly hand over all the political power and military power. Otherwise, there is not much hope for the Han family. And even so. There is also little chance in the face of civil strife. Cao Mengde's generation of heroes will not fail to see this, but this is contrary to his ambition, but if the general trend has been achieved, I believe that he can make a living for the world, and he will definitely make a decision. ”

Even Zhou Yu and Jia Xu didn't expect Wei Tao to think so far, and at the same time, Wei Tao's words also revealed a strong self-confidence, the world will be unified in their own hands after all.

After a slight silence. Na Jia Xu suddenly stood up and saluted Wei Tao.

"Now I know the master's strategy! Sincerity is also convinced! ”

This is Jia Xu showing his allegiance to Wei Tao, even with Wei Tao's heart, he couldn't help but feel shocked at this time, and quickly got up to support Jia Xu.

"I have the help of Wen and He, especially better than thousands of troops!"

"Lord, since the lord's intention is to directly attack Cao Jun's spirit, then the lord's bento is to fight Cao Jun in a dignified manner."

Jia Xu had already expressed his attitude, so he didn't say anything more, and just said.

"Fighting generals, fighting formations, fighting soldiers, these three are the three important things in the army, and the lord can make someone give Cao Cao a war letter at this time. Make an agreement with him to stay until then. It is to correspond to the three, as long as the lord can win, even if Cao Cao himself can not forgive, and will not be affected in any way in the future, but the generals and soldiers under his command may not be, as long as this can be achieved, the lord can have the upper hand in the battle with Cao's army in the future, and even win because of this! ”

Jia Xu deserves to be Jia Xu, and he easily understood Wei Tao's thoughts, and even gave Wei Tao advice because of this.

After a little thought, Wei Tao realized that this was indeed the best.

This time, Wei Tao also didn't want to really start this big war.

Therefore, Wei Tao immediately repaired a letter, and then ordered someone to send it directly to Cao Cao, and at the same time, Wei Tao immediately issued another order, so that his generals could hurry up.

That army was led by Xiahoudun, and the purpose was to help Zhang Xiu to contain Wei Tao.

It's just that even if it is Xiahoudun, after hearing the intention of Wei Tao's envoy, he can't make his own decisions, especially when Lu Bu returns, Xiahoudun already knows that even if Lu Bu goes into battle, it is just a tie with Wei Tao.

Therefore, Xiahoudun naturally ordered someone to step up the delivery of the letter to Xuchang, and immediately stopped the army and waited for Cao Cao's order.

Soon, the letter was delivered to Xuchang.

This day is Cao Cao's return from the court, although there is a contradiction with the Son of Heaven, but this contradiction has not been made clear, so Cao Cao still retains a respect for the Son of Heaven after all.

It's just that no matter what, after receiving Wei Tao's letter, Cao Cao couldn't continue to keep calm.

"Wei Ziyu, he wants to fight me? What does this mean? ”

Out of the importance of Wei Tao, Cao Cao had already brought Cheng Yu and Xun Yu in, but even if it was connected with the wisdom of the two, he couldn't guess Wei Tao's intentions for a while.

"I'm afraid this is to hit the prestige of the prime minister, weaken the strength of our army, and prepare for the future competition for Jingxiang."

In the end, that's all I can think of.

And when he didn't know Wei Tao's true intentions, Cao Cao also agreed with this statement, playing with the letter in his hand, Cao Cao just refused to say.

"In that case, should I?"

Hearing the strangeness in Cao Cao's words, even Cheng Yu and Xun Yu, the two old ministers who followed Cao Cao, didn't know how to respond for a while.

There was a strange silence in the hall.

After a while, Cao Cao suddenly smiled slightly again and got up confidently.

"Since it was Wei Tao who invited me, why shouldn't I? Wen Ruo, you are writing to Your Majesty for me, and I sincerely say that my resolution, if there is chaos today, in order to help the Han Dynasty, the war with the general is imperative, this war is related to the overall situation of the world, I should go to the front line in person, the affairs of the states, with the assistance of courtiers, and the decision of Your Majesty. ”

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu was slightly stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses and responded.

"No!"

Why Cao Cao made such a decision, even Cheng Yu and Xun Yu didn't know, they could only follow Cao Cao's orders, until the two of them retreated, facing the empty room, then Cao Cao said to himself.

"I hope you don't disappoint me this time, it's up to you whether you should be an assistant or not...... Your Majesty......"

Cao Cao's order was like a mountain, and with this order, he soon gathered the ministers and generals, and only on the third day after receiving the letter, he led the army to set off, and directly marched towards Wancheng.

This time Cao Cao seems to be particularly cautious, not only bringing all his tiger and leopard riding elites, but also bringing all his henchmen and generals, it can be said that at this time in Xuchang, Cao Cao's most powerful military generals are not there.

Although at this time, Cao Cao's generals were still able to firmly control the affairs of the territory, but there was one thing that could not be compared to before, that is, there was a shortage of people to deal with affairs, and there were many affairs to be discussed in the court every day.

How will the Son of Heaven be, Cao Cao didn't think much about it, after the leader set off, Cao Cao's mind was on dealing with Wei Tao.

Not only Cao Cao, even after Wei Tao heard this news, he attached great importance to it, and immediately brought all the ministers and generals under his command.

"Cao Mengde has already agreed to my request, when the time comes, the first will be the generals, and the two sides will send generals in turn to fight, and then we will see who can stay until the end. When the time comes, I will personally fight Lu Bu to see who is stronger! ”

There is Lu Bu in the Cao army, and Wei Tao is also confident in himself, so this fight will be more in the battle between Lu Bu and Wei Tao, and even if the rest of the people are no less powerful than the two, they really don't have enough identity to affect the overall situation at this time.

Therefore, there is no objection to this point, and many generals under Wei Tao's command have no objections.

"As for the second battle formation, when the time comes, Cao Jun and I will each set up a position, and the opponent will attack, and the one who breaks will win, this battle will depend on Gongjin and Wenhe. The time is not long, but it is not easy to train for a while, and I have the right to do it cheaply. ”

"My lord is relieved."

Hearing Wei Tao say this, Zhou Yu and Jia Xu both responded in unison.

Wei Tao nodded, with the assurance of the two of them, Wei Tao was enough to be relieved, and then turned his head to look at the many generals.

"As for the last battle of soldiers, that is, we must really look at the strength of our army, select a thousand people to be led by a general, and see which side can win in the end."

Hearing Wei Tao say this, many people's faces changed slightly, not shocked by this matter, but they could hear that this last battle was a real battle against each other, and similarly, the person who can lead this battle can also be said to be Wei Tao's confidant.

Wei Tao's eyes slowly swept over, and among the generals in the tent, there were many handsome talents who were brave and brave for a while, and their wisdom and resourcefulness could be their own.

But in the end, Wei Tao neither saw a brave general like Zhao Yun, nor did he choose a henchman like Zhang Liao, but set his eyes on a stout man in the tent.

"Xingba, give you a thousand people, can you defeat Cao Jun for me?"

Even Gan Ning himself was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect that he could be selected, but Gan Ning was Gan Ning after all, after being slightly stunned, his expression was condensed, and he strode forward and said loudly with a hand towards Wei Tao.

"But Xu's family will never live up to the prestige of the lord!"

"Good! Xingba you have been in our army for a long time, and others know that you are a dragon on the water, but I know that you are also a hero on land, and you don't want to disappoint me. ”

Wei Tao nodded, looked at Gan Ning and said seriously, this is exactly what Gan Ning said in his heart, Gan Ning suddenly felt the blood surging in his heart, and immediately took another step forward without hesitation, and responded loudly.

"A certain is also willing to make a military order, if you don't win, please behead me!"

This is a morale battle, which is of great significance, if it is missed, there is nothing to complain about being beheaded, but when he heard this, Wei Tao laughed loudly.

"But with Xingba's words, I can say that our army is going to win this battle!" (To be continued......)
