To the west of Ulin, the camp is fortified.

Epidemics are rampant here, but the impact on morale is not too great.

After all, this battle was Cao Cao's personal conquest, and with the weight of his prestige, it was enough to suppress anything except a big defeat!

For this reason, the defeat in the previous battle on the river did not affect many people.

Aside from the defeated generals who waited to be sent down, this was almost a world where no one was hurt.

"You can't deal with me, I have made war exploits, and I have blocked the sword for General Cai!"

"The defeat in this battle is not human, I don't accept it!"

"Why, isn't it just a defeat? Just take off my official position? ”

"I want to see General Zhang Yun, I want to see the prime minister!"

“……”

No one could hear their cries.

In other words, the people who are enough to change their fate often choose to ignore their cries.

At this time, there are probably only some smart people who can't change their situation, and at the same time know why they are in such a situation.

For example, Kuai Yue, this smart man saw the reason why these people in front of him were in such a situation.

'Lu Zhao, Feng Kai, Zhang He...... Even Zhu Ling is a general without soldiers, or a general with few soldiers. ’

How could they not expect this to happen? ’

At this moment, the reason why the prime minister recruited those people to meet is probably to let them understand this truth, right? ’

Kuai Yue glanced at the Chinese army's tooth tent in the distance, shook his head and sighed, and then couldn't help but murmur in his heart, "Although this is the case, but you are so ruthless, are you really not afraid that everyone in the world will be cold?" ’

He clearly saw Cao Cao's plan.

In other words, all smart people can see what Cao Cao is going to do.

It's nothing more than letting some disobedient generals go down, and at the same time replacing them with some obedient cronies.

And Kuai Yue also saw that the previous conflict on the river was just the beginning.

After that, Cao Cao will really show his sharp fangs.

Although Cao Cao did this, there really was nothing wrong with it.

After all, what he has to do is extremely risky, and if he doesn't have enough supporters, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it anyway.

But doing so before the army was about to attack the Liu Sun Alliance was more or less petty.

If you look closely, you can even see a little bit of the villain's will.

Thinking of this, Kuai Yue couldn't help but shout in his heart: 'Are you so convinced that you will win?!' ’

It's a pity that his inner words can't be heard by Cao Cao.

However, even if Cao Cao heard it, he might not take it too seriously.

Because as long as this victory is overcome, there will be no one in the world who can stop him.

Next, it is the process of dominating the world.

In this process (in the expedition to the customs and the war in Shu), he can't leave a Jingzhou full of big pits, right?

Yes, it's not that Cao Cao's bearing is not enough, it's really that the angle from which the two of them consider things is not the same thing at all.

Cao Cao focused on the whole world, but Kuai Yue only saw Jingzhou.

Of course, if the former or the latter is more clever, it is a little difficult to distinguish.

After all, Cao Cao, who dared to do such a thing at such a critical time, was probably something that many emperors looked down on.

Even though he looks at the whole picture, it doesn't change anything.

Because there are too many people in history who have done better than him.

For example, Liu Bang, when it is critical, he can definitely endure what others can't bear.

Another example is Liu Xiu, who wanted to change (revolution) the whole world from the beginning, but he held it until the founding of the country, and even held it for many years after that.

In order to keep those people from making trouble.

Then, his system of fields was still continued in Hepu County (Hainan) at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Another example is Li Shimin, the amount of tolerance of this person is even greater...... Moreover, he also commented on Cao Cao.

The wisdom of one will be more than enough, and the respect of ten thousand times is insufficient.

Because Li Shimin almost did what many emperors in the feudal era could not do, he is still a model for many people in later generations.

His evaluation can naturally be called fair...... At the very least, not many people objected to it later.

At the same time, Kuaiyue is actually not much better.

After all, if he was really a man of intelligence, he would not have surrendered in the first place, let alone believed in the promise of Jing people to rule Jing.

The promise itself is fake, especially for a man with ambitions to dominate the world.

But Kuai Yue believed it.

Want to regret it now?

How can there be such a good thing in the world?!

Of course, whether it is Cao Cao or Kuai Yue, they are actually a little bit bad at most.

Compared with Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, they can definitely be regarded as top smart people.

……

"Under the command of these two people, they mostly pursue the golden mean, and they do not dare to perform meritorious service, for fear that we will be jealous, and they dare not contribute to it...... It should be the result of their explanation.

Because of this, the things explained by the prime minister were carried out without any hindrance. ”

Although Man Chong's face was cold when he reported, there was obviously a strong disdain in his tone.

"Hmm."

Cao Cao nodded calmly, and looked at a person beside him: "Road moves? ”

"Prime Minister."

Lu Zhao arched his hand and replied solemnly: "After being cleaned up by the hands of the last general, eight thousand people have already turned to the last general. ”

"Zhang He?" Cao Cao looked at the other person again.

"Prime Minister." Zhang He lowered his head a little ashamedly, and said: "This battle is not fierce, and the last general has only accepted 3,000 soldiers here......"

"Two thousand."

Feng Kai had been listening to the conversation, so the moment Cao Cao's eyes turned, he had already told what he had gained before he could ask.

"Nearly fifteen thousand?"

After Cao Cao asked a few more people, he nodded silently, turned to look at Man Zhong and said, "Now, Boning has a decision in his heart?" ”

"Eight thousand to ten thousand."

After thinking about it, Man Zhong gave a number, and at the same time explained: "Whether it is to suppress the place, or to stick to one place to expand the conquest of Jingnan for the generals, it must not be less than this number...... Too little, it's not enough, too much, it's not much use. ”

"Eight thousand to ten thousand? I'll give you 10,000! Cao Cao thought for a moment before replying.

……

Judging from his remarks, it is obvious that Cao Cao had planned a lot of things before the war......

Speaking of which, this is normal.

After all, Cao Cao has always been focusing on the world and the future, if he doesn't even plan for Jing Nan, then he is too sorry for his invincible ability to dominate the north.

And if he wants to plan Jingnan, he will naturally have the help of Jingbei's forces.

Of course, none of these things are what Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others want.

It's a pity that these people are all from wealthy families.

And...... Crucially, they are not the first generation.

If they are the first generation, then they dare to fight no matter what, and they dare not fight to the death with Cao Cao, just to maintain their strength and status......

Because they know that they have nothing to lose, even if they fight to the end, as long as they don't lose, they win.

But unfortunately, by the time of the second generation, this kind of blood will gradually decline.

At that time, although they also enjoyed wealth and nobility, they had also seen wind and frost in the end, so they also dared to do some fleshy things.

3rd generation, 4th generation......

After Cai Mao and the others' generation, they were completely bloodless.

Even in the moments after the surrender, they handed over everything to Cao Cao, for fear that there would be unnecessary misunderstandings and thus damage their own wealth.

This may be the legendary meat eater, who failed to plan ahead.

Of course, if it weren't for this, Cao Cao probably wouldn't have dared to easily seize their military power.

But even so, Cao Cao was still dissatisfied with the game.

Because, he suddenly thought of Wenpin, who had been guarding Jingbei all along.

It's a pity that Wen Ping was deceived by Liu Bei and left, if it weren't for that, this matter would be simpler. ’

While thinking about it, Cao Cao sighed.

Yes, in his original plan, it wouldn't have been so explicit at first.

But what made him very helpless was that he couldn't find anyone else in the Jingbei area at all.

Wang Wei may be okay, but this person is loyal to Liu Cong, and it is impossible for him to use him.

In addition, Cao Cao no longer has anyone who can look at him.

So, he could only do it so explicitly.

Even if he is seen, he doesn't care...... Anyway, the left and right are the things of this battle.

As long as he wins this battle, he can do whatever he wants.

As for losing?

Cao Cao never considered this.

"Liu Bei, Chen Feng, Zhuge Liang and others think that relying on the water army can stop me?"

He looked at the generals in front of him and sneered: "I'm afraid they have forgotten, as long as I connect all the warships, what can they do?" ”

"Only defeat and death!"

"No!"

Zhang He's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him: "Prime Minister must not do this, otherwise once Liu Bei chooses to attack with fire, we will ...... later."

"I'm too worried."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you have forgotten, it is winter season, and there is only the northwest of the river, and there is no east wind!" ”

"The lord is wise!"

Zhang He instantly knew that he had made the mistake of empiricism, and hurriedly slapped himself on the back.

The expressions of the other generals who had changed color due to the word fire attack were also quickly relieved.

Just like Cao Cao said, it is the winter season, where does the east wind come from on the river?

As a result, all the generals instantly recovered their full vitality, as if they were going to defeat Liu Bei and Sun Quan next...... After that, he could take Jingnan and Jiangdong for a long time, and made immortal achievements during this period.

Whether it is Cao Cao or others, they have all made the mistake of empiricism.

Because they have forgotten that the Yangtze River is not in the north, and the climate is not old or young...... Otherwise, there would be no epidemic in the army.

And, what they don't know even more is.

At some point, the east wind does blow on the Yangtze River in winter.

……

Just when Cao Cao and the others were planning a second attack, Chen Feng was also looking at the river.

At this time, he was not in a good mood.

Because......

"The story of the straw boat borrowing arrows, I'm afraid I can't play it...... There is no fog at all, play with a bird, Romance is really deadly! ”

Yes, he had thought about being able to borrow arrows from a straw boat, but then he realized that he seemed to be thinking too much.

This is simply an unrealistic idea.

Fortunately, he never mentioned this idea to anyone from beginning to end, otherwise, his face as a military advisor would probably be thrown directly to the floor.

"Kong Ming, you say ......"

"What is Ziji muttering now?"

Liu Bei, who was out of trust, or unwilling to disturb Chen Feng's train of thought, was falling behind at this time, and after hearing his dripping voice, he couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang beside him.

"Bright, I don't know ......"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Ziji thinks too much, even if it is bright, he can't catch up with his thoughts at all." ”

When he said this, his face was a little ashamed, but at the same time, there was a little bit of reasonableness.

I really can't blame him, if you want to blame Chen Feng's thinking is too wild, and he is ...... with ordinary people Or smart people are the two extremes altogether.

Therefore, let alone guessing, sometimes Zhuge Liang still doesn't understand many things that Chen Feng said in person.

For example, what...... Open doors, free trade.

This Zhuge Liang is very incomprehensible.
