Chapter 8: Two sycophants
How did you win and lose the Battle of Chibi?
Winning or losing is only a matter of common sense, and Cao Ang knows that it is very simple to break it.
Don't look at the chain of plans on the Soochow side, but as long as there is a link in the middle, it is impossible to implement.
Especially the two in front of him, they were Liu Biao's subordinates, and they knew too much about the common sense in this area.
"General Zhonglang, the ceremony must not be wasted."
Cai Mao was still polite, so Cao Ang smiled indifferently: "Zhonglang will just be idle, and the two of you don't have to be like this, you still call me the eldest son." ”
Cao Cao had just been appointed, and they had arrived, could it be that it had been decided in advance?
Zhang Yundao: "The eldest prince, the prime minister has already said that let the eldest prince lead the water army is to come." ”
"You know I'm here today?"
"It was reported by someone that the eldest prince had arrived at the Jiangling County Guard's Mansion, so we came."
This is a bit of a rush to pat the back, with their status and importance, is this necessary?
Cao Ang also felt that these two should be capable people, and most of the capable people are temperamental.
Unexpectedly, they actually rushed over and intercepted Cao Ang's sycophancy......
Although they didn't say anything, they were the first to come, and that was a sign of their hearts.
Can everyone understand Cao Cao's thoughts?
"Even if you lead the water army, it will be a matter of the future, and now you have to rely on the two of you."
Cao Ang smiled and said, "For the water army, you are the experts, and the prime minister also said, I don't care about it for the time being." ”
There is no reason for a layman to command an insider, and Cao Cao should not know it.
But the two still insisted on a posture of catching up and patting, and the two sang and harmonized.
"Eldest Prince, I have heard about your previous deeds a long time ago, and it will be God's blessing to come back this time!"
"Yes, yes, we will rely on the eldest prince in the future, so it's better to see you first."
Looking at their expressions, Cao Ang seemed to understand.
They didn't see Cao Cao's arrangement, and Zhonglang General was indeed idle, which everyone knew.
But they're generals!
In Cao Ang's memory, these two people were not welcomed in the Cao camp, and the generals of the Cao army basically looked down on them.
So after Cao Cao killed them, no one came out to speak to them.
Think about such a key person, kill if you say kill, no one in the military generals and strategists came out to stop them!
So...... The intention of these two people to come over and slap their sycophants is obvious.
This eldest prince has disappeared for eleven years, and to the current Cao Ying, he is definitely a newcomer.
And this person is Cao Cao's eldest son!
As long as they are attached to Cao Ang, no one can look down on them, and whoever dares to look down on them will look down on the world!
What they value is the identity of the son.
Cao Ang thought about it himself, in fact, these two people were also quite miserable, and now they have to be polite to them, they are even more unsteady.
"That son will appreciate it here, and the two generals have a heart."
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun looked at each other with great joy, and immediately echoed each other, saying painless words.
Cao Ang is not bored with them, the two are familiar with each other, and Cao Cao also intends to let this eldest son lead the water army, so let's discuss the matter of the water army.
"The two of you are familiar with water warfare in the army, how is the current water armament warfare?"
"Ah......h
The two glanced at each other again, and Cai Mao said: "Don't worry, the prime minister will send millions of troops, and he will definitely take Jiangdong!" ”
This tone, as if they saw victory, is also right, anyone who looks at this momentum will feel that Jiangdong is in danger.
"What is the training of the lieutenant generals?"
"Okay, okay......"
"The soldiers are brave, and Jiangdong can fall in one fell swoop!"
The two of them are sloppy, is it okay like that, but the training for a while cannot be compared with the perennial water war of Soochow.
Therefore, it is impossible to expect the naval army to win, and it is just a matter of transporting the army.
Cao Ang asked again: "Then since the two of you are urgent, I will go to the naval army camp to have a look?" ”
"Ah......h
"Eldest Prince, this ...... I'll go back and arrange the arrangement? ”
How can they go right away, they will be exposed as soon as they go, they don't want this eldest prince to do things now.
Of course, Cao Ang didn't expect them to be able to train a naval army to fight against Eastern Wu, but only teased them.
Just as he wanted to speak, suddenly a person came over and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for many years!" ”
This person is about ten years old, very elegant, and his eyebrows are full of spirit.
"You ......"
Cao Ang was a little confused, he wanted to take a look at Cao Cao in Jiangling, but he didn't expect that this block of doors came one by one, can't he go back again?
Of course, he can't recognize who is who, which is easy to say, anyway, it's normal not to remember eleven years later.
"Zhi, meet my brother!"
"Oh, it's Zijian......"
It's actually Cao Zhi who is here, shouldn't Cao Pi be more concerned?
Cao Ang hurried over, brothers, friends, and brothers, and everyone politely greeted each other, as if they had not seen each other for many years.
"How did Zijian know that Brother Wei would come today?"
"Ah, when I heard that my brother had fallen, my brother was heartbroken, and for many years I have taken my brother as a model and practiced diligently......"
He is also going too far, is it really the case that all those who are literate are like this, he is worthy of being one of the seven sons of Jian'an, and the owner of the world's eight talents.
Then Cao Ang could only listen to it, and there was actually no useful content.
In front of the county guard's mansion, they were very embarrassed to hang the two naval commanders in this way.
is polite, but in fact, Cao Ang is thinking in his heart that this future generation of Chen Siwang also has a chance.
It should be in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao asked Cao Zhi to lead troops to relieve the siege of Guan Yu, and the appointment was also a Zhonglang general.
Cao Zhi said as he spoke, and began to pull people: "Brother, this is in front of the county guard's mansion, let's talk about it in another place?" ”
"Well, it's really not appropriate to talk about it here."
Cao Ang nodded, but he didn't want to take this stubble, because Cao Zhi had never done Cao Pi.
As for the reason, it is difficult to determine now, and we cannot fully believe the legends of later generations.
So he looked at the two naval governors.
These two people can be held firmly in their hands, as long as Cao Ang says a word, they will cling to it.
Because they were not treated by Cao Ying, or they were demoted to the status of generals, they didn't have much choice.
"Zijian, why don't we talk about it later?"
"This ...... Is there anything else to do with my brother? ”
Cao Ang pointed at Cai Mao and Zhang Yun and said: "My father asked me to lead the navy concurrently, and you know, I haven't done anything in the past eleven years, and I have been estranged from military affairs, so where do I know what the navy is." ”
"So, you have to go to their camp first, otherwise it's not easy to make a difference."
"In this way, how about I invite Zijian another day?"
This is a foreign expedition, not at home, so of course military affairs are the most important.
Where did Cao Zhi dare to say anything else, and he was a little surprised in his heart, his father actually let his brother handle military affairs?
What is this for, it's been eleven years, and it's still a naval army......
