Chapter Seventy-One: Waiting for Them to Redeem People
Cheng Yu and the others couldn't ask a reason at all, and Cao Ang's side was completely rotten.
It also makes sense, I was attacked, how can I know so much, as for packing up the grain and grass and transporting it to the ship, it is just a coincidence.
In fact, except for the section of transporting grain and grass, everything else is reasonable, of course, Cao Ang's ability to react so quickly and take down most of the invading enemies can also be attributed to good luck.
Zhang He didn't have many doubts, as a general, he felt that it was normal to be passive if he was sneak attacked.
Cao Ang asked people to bring Zhang He and Cao Zhi back to the camp to protect him, but Cheng Yu stayed.
"The eldest prince, this time the Dongwu army sneak attack, only the wood needed to build the village was burned, if the prime minister asks, how should I reply?"
"Mr. Zhongde, there is no way to do it, at least I have saved the people in the camp."
Cao Ang said helplessly, "Look, if there is only the enemy of Eastern Wu on the other side, and the grain and grass were robbed a few days ago, wouldn't Mr. feel strange?" ”
"What do you mean, eldest prince?"
"In the face of the obvious enemy, I don't need to think too much, but in the face of the enemy behind me, I don't have much to do, the soldiers are not afraid of the enemy is strong, we can't let the soldiers feel cold."
There are words in the words, implying that he was stabbed by his own people.
With Cheng Yu's IQ, would he not know that there was a problem with the robbery of grain and grass?
This time, Cheng Yu was speechless, and Cao Ang was still hinting that the sneak attack was related to the internal ghost.
What can I do if I get out of the ghost?
It's not that Cao Ang can finish the matter by catching him in his own army, and there may be a huge problem in the rear, although there is no evidence, how can Cheng Yu not have guesses in his heart, these speculations can't be said clearly.
"It's hard to be the eldest son, I'll report to the prime minister, give the eldest prince more time."
It can only be like this, Cheng Yu also sighed and left.
Sure enough, this trick is very useful, Cao Ang has never exposed the ghost inside, and he can rely on this if he has any problems in the future.
You don't care about the rear, do you cause me to suffer from the enemy on my belly and back, and deliberately force the generals to rebel against Jingzhou?
Cheng Yu also felt that it made sense, after all, in this matter, he was ashamed of Cao Ang and Jingzhou Jun, and it was not authentic to do things behind his back, he planned to report something to the prime minister, although he couldn't say it explicitly, but he also had to hint at it.
As soon as the three of them left, Cao Ang immediately called Wen Ping over.
"Three things, you go and secretly imprison the two captured generals and pin them in the camp."
"This ...... The eldest prince doesn't interrogate them? ”
"What is there to interrogate, save yourself from looking at each other, remember, treat them well with food and drink, and I will exchange them for things."
"Understood, what else?"
Wen Ping has no doubts about Cao Ang's order now, originally, if he catches the enemy general, he will not kill him, and he will still raise it secretly, what do you want to do? If it weren't for the prime minister's son, he would have suspected that Cao Ang wanted to join the enemy.
"Second, Dongwu is estimated to send someone to discuss it soon, you guard the camp, if you meet a Dongwu envoy, don't bring it to the camp, let him wait outside."
"Outside?"
"With such a big forest, won't you set up a secret camp temporarily?"
"Oh...... Understood, but what about that female general, we don't have female soldiers. ”
Cao Ang was stunned, although this is a beauty, he doesn't have too many ideas, the key is that he is too violent.
You said it's good to be weak, Cao Ang can still do all kinds of shameless things in this era, no one cares, but she is a female general, and if she neglects her, she will burst out and kill people!
"So, go and recruit a few folk women and take care of her."
"This ...... Okay, eldest son, what about the third thing? ”
"The third thing is that we need to pay attention to all the time, our affairs, that is, you and me, but also Cai Mao and others, these things that happen in our army are all kept secret, no matter who they are, they can't be leaked to Mr. Zhongde or Zhang He and anyone else."
"Then, I tell the people in the camp to keep an eye at all times."
Secrecy is important, and you can't do anything without reliable people.
No matter how good Cao Ang's ideas are here, once they leak out, Cao Cao will do it in vain as soon as he intervenes.
Wen was ordered to turn around and leave, but was called back by Cao Ang.
"Wait!"
"Is there anything else going on with the eldest prince?"
"You go and talk to Cai Mao, and immediately send someone to find out who is stationed on the other side of the river."
"Order! Son...... Anything else? ”
Cao Ang thought for a moment and waved his hand to let him go.
The operation of the first army is so complicated, and it will have to face so many more complex problems in the future, and the head is too big, so it has to be managed by people who can be trusted, and if you don't believe in anyone, you won't be able to survive.
After thinking for a moment in the tent, he ordered the guards to make adjustments.
First of all, let Huang Zhong pick some subordinates to guard Gan Ning, I feel that no one can watch it except Huang Zhong.
Then let the people stop part of the work to strengthen the vigilance of the camp, anyway, the construction period will be wrong.
Cao Ang discussed with Jia Xu again: "Sir, if there is really an envoy from Eastern Wu, what should we want?" ”
"What does Childe want?"
"Of course I want Soochow to compromise with me, this is the greatest credit, obviously impossible, let them send elite soldiers and famous generals to give me meritorious service...... If Sun Quan was not stupid, he should not agree, at least Gan Ning did not have this weight. ”
No one has this weight, unless there is a direct threat to Sun Quan.
Jia Xu thought for a while: "Perhaps...... We can drag it out slowly, and we are not in a hurry to let them change back to Ganning. ”
Cao Ang nodded, bargaining, it will take time.
As for Gan Ning himself, he is naturally a fierce general, very important to Eastern Wu, an iconic figure, but it is not the key to Cao Ang or Sun Quan.
If Cao Ang can arrest him once, he can arrest him twice, depending on how much sincerity Dongwu gives.
Suddenly, he thought of another thing: "Sir, since Liu Bei and Sun Quan want to unite, does that mean ......?"
"Although the son asks for the price, if there is no actual benefit, it is a big deal to kill Na Ganning."
Jia Xu didn't care much about this brave general, in the eyes of the strategist, the courage of the puppet was insignificant.
If you can't get enough benefits, you will be killed, Cao Ang is too lazy to surrender, and no one knows anyway.
If it is to dismantle the alliance between Liu Bei and Jiangdong...... That is a great chance, let Sun Quan betray Liu Bei, how to operate is a problem, because in fact, they may not be trustworthy.
For example, the condition for getting back Gan Ning was that they sold Liu Bei.
Once you let Gan Ning go, what if they regret it?
It is important to break up their alliance, Liu Bei cannot be underestimated, he is an absolute core.
The two discussed for a long time, and when it was almost noon, Wen Ping came back to report the situation.
"Childe, a messenger from Jiangdong has arrived, asking to see Childe."
"What, it's coming so fast?"
Sun Quan was in a hurry, this was not in a hurry, he must have wanted to know if Cao Ang had killed Gan Ning.
If even Gan Ning is gone, then who else in Jiangdong can stop Cao Ang?
The other party is in a hurry, will this be Cao Ang's chance?
