Cao Ang was puzzled, but he wouldn't ask in front of Cai Mao, so he nodded to Cai Mao.

Since Jia Xu wants to do this, there must be his reason, let Cai Mao execute it first and then ask.

Waiting for Cai Mao to go out, Cao Ang couldn't help but ask, "Sir, why is this so?" ”

"Eldest prince, what do you say will happen to him if we force that Lu Meng?"

He ...... will ask for help, after all, only more than a thousand people were brought. ”

There are more than 1,000 people in Lu Meng, in fact, there are quite a few, let Cai Mao go, and there are only a few thousand elites in his headquarters who can fight.

Claiming that an army of 100,000 can only take out a few thousand people to fight, is it nonsense?

Of course not, any operation requires logistics, people-to-man cooperation, etc., plus exaggerated parts.

In addition, Zhang Yun has to ensure that the fleet behind him continues to transport materials, and he also has to escort the transportation line with thousands of troops from his headquarters.

That's it, it's not necessarily stable.

Thousands of people against more than a thousand, if you fight hard, the other party's defense is actually five or five.

Of course, some of the soldiers who brought Jianzhai can also join the elite to fight together, this is the real war, which can be increased to tens of thousands of troops, but now these soldiers need to build a larger camp and wait for Cao Cao's main force.

"If he asks for help, does the eldest prince think we should be afraid?"

"How to say it, after all, he is threatening on the other side, if the sneak attack is successful, we will also have pressure to build a village."

"No, he won't make a move, and even if there are more troops to confront each other on the other side of the river, it will not be possible."

Jia Xu said with a smile, "If you attack the Jingzhou army, the losses of Eastern Wu are unacceptable, and their enemy is the prime minister." ”

Cao Ang suddenly brightened, yes, what they want to deal with is Cao Cao's army, and the Jingzhou army is a surrendered army, they will definitely lose a lot if they want to fight, and Cao Cao has not lost at all, what is the benefit?

Looking at Zhou Yu, at first, he was still thinking about plotting against Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's army, obviously thinking that there was no need to fight.

Think you play games, starting from a young minion?

A real wise general will definitely reduce his own losses, and he will play the key point, after all, this loss is not a blood bar in the game, it is a living soldier, these are the solid foundation of Soochow!

"Sir, I mean to make them bear more losses!"

The more troops outside, the greater the consumption, and the farther the troops, the greater the attrition.

Cao Ang thought that Jia Xu's intention was to consume the grain and grass troops of Eastern Wu to a greater extent and make them exhausted.

However, Jia Xu thinks more long-term.

"Eldest prince, let me sell it first, and you will naturally see the wonders in the future."

……

The news that Cao Ang led the naval army to garrison Chibi naturally spread to Eastern Wu, and Sun Quan's pressure began to increase.

Of course, before Cao Cao's army pressed the border, no one in Eastern Wu was in danger.

"This Cao Cao...... And the eldest son, he didn't die? ”

"Lord, now Cao Cao's intentions are becoming clearer, what he wants is Jiangdong."

Zhou Yu said, "The 100,000 Jingzhou sailors sent to build the camp in advance are just posturing. ”

Speaking of the Jingzhou Naval Army, Sun Quan was a little disdainful: "What 100,000 naval troops, I don't know how many troops there are in Jingzhou?" It's just this Cao Cao...... Has he made up his mind, Gongjin, what do you think? ”

"Lord, what Cao Cao thinks, I don't know, I only know that Cao Ang doesn't seem to be simple."

"I want to beat him this 100,000 Jingzhou naval army...... Aren't we a good deal? ”

Sun Quan also felt the same way, it was too easy for Cao Cao to fight Jingzhou, and there were so many more troops for no reason.

Now with an order, the army will be lowered to threaten Eastern Wu, and Cao Cao will not feel distressed if he is beaten to the death.

Moreover, if these Jingzhou troops are destroyed, and the anger of the Jingzhou territory is provoked even more, they can still recruit a team to unite with Cao Cao, and their will to fight will be more resolute at that time.

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Yu thinks that you can't fight now, you just need to send someone to keep an eye on them." ”

Sun Quan was still embarrassed: "If you don't fight now, wait for the camp to be built, and Cao Cao will go south?" ”

"Lord, if Cao Cao sends his army south, there is no need to send this army first."

"Yes, why does Gong Jin think Cao Cao took this step?"

"That's because Cao Cao didn't fully make up his mind, or he didn't reach an agreement among the strategists."

"That'...... How do we get Cao Cao to dispel this thought? ”

As Eastern Wu, their strength must not be comparable to Cao Cao, even if they are not known as a million troops, they can't compare.

Even if it is just these Jingzhou troops, they can be five or five with the Eastern Wu Army on the surface.

Jiangdong and Jingzhou are not able to defeat you, but it is impossible for you to fight me, it can be regarded as a balance of power.

So they don't care about Cao Ang's army, and they definitely can't defeat Eastern Wu.

How to make Cao Cao break this thought, in fact, Zhou Yu has been thinking about it.

"Lord, Chibi will temporarily increase the troops, in case Cao Ang acts rashly, you can add some miscellaneous soldiers."

"Well, it's good to deter, at least give him the feeling that he is alone and powerful."

There are not many elite soldiers, but there are many miscellaneous soldiers, and they can be recruited at will, and there is no need to train.

As long as you put so many people on the battlefield, it is actually a deterrent, not only the enemy army will be jealous, but your own people will also have confidence.

Therefore, Jia Xu's clever plan is here.

If the elite soldiers of Eastern Wu wanted to prevent Cao Cao from breaking through, they could only recruit a lot of miscellaneous soldiers, claiming to have hundreds of thousands of armor.

In fact, there were really hundreds of thousands of standing troops during the Three Kingdoms period, and it was Cao Cao.

To add a little more, Cao Cao can actually pull up an army of millions, but the territory is too big, how can Cao Cao bring it all.

What Jia Xu wanted was to increase the troops of Eastern Wu, but he did not have actual combat effectiveness.

This is much more than Cao Ang's old way, since the enemies are all on the other side of the river, how can they do it without putting some pressure, and they will not be comfortable.

After Zhou Yu saw Sun Quan nodding, he thought about it again.

"Lord, if you can't dispel Cao Cao's thoughts, he will really come."

"What does Gong Jin mean by this?"

"There are many celebrities under the command of the lord, Cao Cao is powerful, and there will be people who will be afraid at that time, so the lord should be prepared first."

"What does Gong Jin mean, Cao Cao will really come?"

Who is not afraid, Sun Quan himself is also afraid, with Cao Cao's style of fighting wars over the years, it can be described as decisive and resolute.

By the time Cao Cao's army descended the river, the comparison of strength seemed to have become an easy math problem, and everyone would do the math.

Zhou Yu sighed, it seems that the lord is really afraid.

Although Cao Cao praised "giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou", in fact, Sun Quan's bravery cannot be compared with his brother and his father.

Sun Jian and Sun Ce are so enterprising, no matter how good he behaves when he comes to Sun Quan, he is actually useless.

Is it so easy to stick to the family business?

It is said that Liu Chan is very wasteful, but in fact, where is Sun Quan strong, they are all the same, they want to be in a corner of peace.

Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Everything is unknown, it's hard to say, the lord has a mental preparation." ”

"Gong Jin, it's better to ...... Let's use the momentum of thunder to take down that Cao Ang in one fell swoop, so as to threaten Cao Cao, can we? ”
