Although he had seen the battlefield ten years ago, this was the first time he had led an army after crossing over.

Cao Cao estimated that Cao Ang had led troops before, and this time it was no problem, but he didn't know that it was before......

Jia Xu was much calmer: "The eldest prince, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are not wastes, if they can't do it, then Dongwu will swallow Liu Biao's Jingzhou a long time ago, and the eldest prince won't think that Sun Wu is a good kind, right?" ”

Of course not, this Dongwu territory was still snatched back by Sun Jian back then.

Sun Jian and Yuan Shu borrowed 2,000 soldiers and horses, and they cleaned up Jiangdong and entrenched one side, if he could really defeat Jingzhou, he would not be polite.

"That's fine, I don't know which big future Zhou Yu will send to confront me?"

"There are also a lot of famous generals in Jiangdong, wait and see."

Jia Xu didn't care, no matter who came, he didn't dare to easily attack the 100,000 horses of the Jingzhou naval army.

Then since the poisoners are sure that they are safe, Cao Ang will not talk nonsense, and immediately go ashore to build a village.

To build a camp, it is naturally not a simple matter.

The camp they built must be large and can accommodate Cao Cao's main force in the future.

It had to be strong, it had to be at the water's edge, where it could dock warships and ships that transported goods.

Such a project, of course, is built by logging, which is basically the case in this era, so the camp is easy to burn.

However, there was no way, so he could only use wood, and Cao Ang couldn't think of other materials.

After the people landed, they first began to build simple camps for their vanguard troops to live in.

All the manpower was arranged out, and Cao Ang set up his camp by the river first.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Ang also hung up the map in style, and the map in this era was not accurate, so he could only look at it roughly.

Cao Ang and Jia Xu studied the map first.

"What kind of means does Mr. think Zhou Yu will use?"

"If our army is ironclad, Zhou Yu doesn't have too good means, we occupy this place, he can't fight, and he won't fight."

"Sir, are you saying that there will be problems in our army?"

"The eldest prince, if these 100,000 troops want to stay here for a long time, there must be an uninterrupted supply of grain and grass in the rear......"

Speaking of this, Jia Xu blinked, "And this time, the eldest prince is still in a passive situation." ”

Passive means that Cao Ang can't take the initiative to target anyone.

He has to wait, wait for those people to make a move before he can deal with it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, he can't strike first.

In other words, the main threat does not come from Soochow, but from its own camp.

So who will make a move?

Based on Cao Ang's understanding of this history, the two themselves fought very seriously, and it is not surprising that anyone made a move.

The evaluation of their talent in the history books is very high, but this does not delay them from fighting.

Cao Zhi enjoys a good reputation, but why did he fall into the situation of writing seven-step poems, is Cao Pi too inhuman?

No, we can't just look at one side of things.

Cao Pi will not be unreasonable and inhumane, he has read the books of sages, he is a genius, and at the most basic he is still a person.

"So, sir, we can only wait?"

"It's true that we can only wait, because the foundation of the eldest prince is far inferior to theirs."

"That's right, I'm going to do it now, no matter what I do to them, it's my no reason."

"It's good that the eldest prince knows, it's the disadvantage of the eldest prince to start too late, so you should bear this calamity."

Of course, Jia Xu knows where Cao Ang's weakness is, that is, he has no foundation, and he is equal to a newcomer.

A newcomer, who will trust you?

That can only wait for those who are not used to you to make a move, and it is impossible to deal with anyone first.

Cao Ang sighed and said, "I hope I can withstand it." ”

……

It is said that Cao Ang was stationed in Wulin for two days, and there was a garrison of Soochow on the other side.

The two sides looked at each other across the river, and the Eastern Wu army on the opposite side did not attack, so they stared at Cao Ang's every move across the river.

It's only been a day, and the other party has already sent a number of clippers to reconnoitre.

Cao Ang couldn't sit idly by, and he also asked Cai Mao to send someone to find out the truth of the other party.

In the evening, Cai Mao came to report in person: "Eldest prince, there are only one or two thousand Dongwu troops on the opposite side, so don't worry!" ”

"Only one or two thousand?"

Cao Ang was stunned at that time, looking down on people so much.

The naval army led by himself is claimed to be 100,000, although the actual combat personnel cannot reach so many, but the Dongwu even one or two thousand people look down on themselves too much.

He asked, "Do you know who the general is?" ”

"Judging from the banner hanging, it should be Jiangdong Lumeng."

"Lu Meng? You were close before, do you know this person's temperament? ”

"This ...... His military rank is not high, and he only learned that this person is a lieutenant and has a good way of governing the army. ”

"Is it just a lieutenant?"

Cai Mao is like a fish in water with Liu Bei, so naturally he will not pay attention to this kind of small role, so it is difficult for him to say it now.

Judging from the past few days, Cai Mao's navy is very level, at least not weaker than the Dongwu navy.

Looking at it this way, it is logical for Zhou Yu to get rid of him and Zhang Yun first, because they will put a lot of pressure on Dongwu.

It seems that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are all underestimated people in the history books.

However, this Lu Meng seems to have a very big background, and Cao Ang instructed: "In the next few days, you will probe again, inquire in many ways, and you must inquire about this person in more detail." ”

"Still want to ask?"

"Yes, no matter what method you use, the more closely you check, the better."

Cai Mao has been mixed in the Yangtze River system for so many years, he should also have some means, he can't get some real-time information, but the background information of several generals should also be able to be found.

He didn't know what Cao Ang meant, so he just agreed: "Okay, don't worry, the eldest son, his subordinates will do it well!" ”

Now Cai Mao has taken Cao Ang as a backer, and he and Zhang Yun have changed their names for Cao Ang.

Called the eldest prince, claiming to be a subordinate.

Anyway, in private, you can't get too angry because of the title, and if Cao Ang is determined to be the son of the world in the future, he will also rise.

Cai Mao just wanted to leave, but Jia Xu suddenly stopped: "Slow! ”

"Do you have any orders, sir?" Cai Mao immediately stood up again and turned around to ask.

He knew that this gentleman was respected by Cao Ang and asked for it from Cao Cao's side.

Although Cao Cao didn't necessarily attach much importance to Jia Xu, Cao Ang attached importance to it, and now if they recognize the lord, it can only be Cao Ang, not even Cao Cao, of course, it is impossible to say......

Attaching to Cao Cao is unreliable, and the cold reception that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have suffered these days is enough to chill their hearts.

Jia Xu said slowly: "General Cai, divide you into three batches and harass the opposite side every day." ”

"Sir, you mean that you want to take down the Dongwu army on the other side?"

Cai Mao thought about it carefully, "It's not that it can't, it's just that the damage will be a little big, after all, they defend, and we attack." ”

"No, you don't need to take it, you just need to make a gesture, try to make them think that we are going to fight, and increase the strength a little bit each time, so that they think that you are indecisive and retreat."

Cao Ang was stunned when he heard this, this is a feint, not really fighting, only forcing Lu Meng on the opposite side, why is this?

It's really urgent, okay, will Soochow increase its troops?
