"Prime Minister, I will stay under the account in the future and carefully assist the Prime Minister!"

Xu Shu also expressed his position without hesitation.

This surprised Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, the bet between the minister and the fourth prince has been lost, so he should be a talker."

Seeing this, Cao Cao frowned slightly and looked at Cao Xuan.

"You've got what it takes."

Cao Xuan smiled.

"Father, I'll go back first, Miss Xin is still waiting for me to come home for dinner."

Without waiting for Cao Cao to say more, Cao Xuan left here directly.

On the way home.

Cao Xuan was smiling and very happy.

Although this game of Go was not played by him, he was content to be able to make Xu Shu willing to stay.

At this time, the four emperors were still arguing over how to play the last move.

"It just fell directly on Tianyuan, the whole situation is settled, and the country is flat!"

Liu Che shook his head again and again.

"The steady development of the corner land, step by step to compress the living space of Xu Shu, is the right reason!"

Li Shimin said.

"The battle for the corners is too slow, you should control the overall situation, and the last step falls on the star, that is perfect!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say a word.

He really doesn't know much about Go.

……

When I got home, the smell of food came to my nose.

In the hall, there were all kinds of meals, Xin Xianying sat quietly, and when she saw Cao Xuan appear, she immediately laughed.

"I'm finally back, the meal is just right, let's eat it."

Cao Xuan nodded.

"The lady's method is really easy to use, but it succeeded in letting Xu Shu stay."

Xin Xianying smiled.

"That's good...... I think the prime minister is also impressed by the son. ”

……

The plan to recruit Xu Shu was conceived by Xin Xianying.

Originally, Cao Xuan didn't think it was too possible, but he didn't expect it to happen.

Now that Xu Shu has completely integrated into Cao Ying, as for Sima Yi, he only needs an opportunity to take him for his own use.

At the time of the southern expedition, with Xu Shu and Sima Yi, he believed that he was enough to turn everything around.

……

Inside Cao Cao's house.

Many ministers and generals gathered in the lobby.

Looking at the military generals of Wenchen, Cao Cao frowned.

"The southern crusade begins in July, do you have any good suggestions?"

However, none of the ministers of cultural relics dared to speak.

The big event of the Southern Expedition, no one dares to talk nonsense, after all, the involvement is a bit big, if it is because of the decision that leads to winning or losing, it will be beheaded.

Seeing this, Cao Cao looked at Xu Shu.

"Lord Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Shu smiled and stood out of the queue.

"The southern expedition is facing Eastern Wu, I am afraid that Liu Bei of Western Shu has joined forces with Eastern Wu, and the minister suggested that the prime minister should train the naval army as soon as possible."

"The final battle should be in the area of the Red Cliff of the Yangtze River, and the strength of the naval army, I'm afraid we are not at all inferior to Sun Quan!"

Cao Cao nodded.

"You're right, we are indeed not stronger than Sun Quan, and now Yecheng is training the navy on a large scale, and everything is going on steadily."

"If the number of sailors is superior, I wonder what chance does Lord Xu think we and Sun Liu will win?"

Xu Shu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and replied.

"Seventy-three, we have a seventy-percent chance of winning!"

Cao Cao smiled slightly.

"Good!"

"This battle of the Southern Expedition will definitely return with a big victory!"

……

Soochow, Jianye.

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun were observing the map with Zhou Yu.

"This time Cao Cao's southern expedition, I'm afraid it will come down from Luzhou, and the final place of the big war should be here!"

Zhuge Liang pointed out the location in the map, which was Chibi.

Looking at the map, Zhou Yu nodded.

"Hehe, Cao Cao's army is not good at water warfare, but my Eastern Wu soldiers are born on water, water warfare, ridiculous!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"I heard that in Yecheng, Cao Cao is training the navy on a large scale, and this battle is probably not so simple."

Zhou Yu frowned slightly.

"Kong Ming, your worries are also reasonable, Cao Cao's number has a big advantage, and in terms of numbers, we are really at a disadvantage."

"At the same time, once Cao Jun is allowed to land, then it will be even more difficult for us to resist, and everything will be difficult!"

Zhuge Liang nodded.

"Blocking them in the Yangtze River, this is the best way!"

……

Chen Liu, Cao Pi Fuzhong.

After the polishing of time, Cao Pi finally quieted down.

Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and Mrs. Bian comforted Cao Pi on the side.

"Big brother, the southern expedition is imminent, if you make war achievements, everything will naturally be easy to do at that time!"

Cao Zhi nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, eldest brother, the fourth brother is stupid, Miss Xin will definitely not like it, if you make a meritorious service, as long as you mention it to your father, then your father will naturally agree."

Cao Pi nodded.

"Humph! Cao Xuan, you wait, I will let you return everything! ”

……

Cao Xuan's house.

After eating, he began to stare at the map and the four emperors.

"If the Southern Expedition wins a big victory, then Dongwu will disappear by itself, and then you can recruit all the generals of Dongwu under your own door!"

Liu Che nodded.

"Then, if you want to rebel, you can rebel at any time!"

Li Shimin looked at the map carefully.

"Whose power is this southwest?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

"This is Meng Huo's power, the elephant soldiers are strong, and it is difficult to fight."

Hearing this, Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Then Meng Huo in the southwest can be taken, and he must be taken!"

"If Meng Shu is surrendered and there are elephant soldiers, it is only a matter of time before they will be together in the world."

"Even if the cavalry in the north is strong, if it touches the elephant soldiers, what is it!"

Listening to their discussion, Cao Xuan frowned.

"This Meng Huo is not a simple force, and it is not easy to recruit them."

The soldiers under Meng Huo are not simple.

And not only elephant soldiers.

There is also the rattan armor soldier, whose combat power should not be underestimated.

If you want to subdue them, I'm afraid you'll need a lot of troops to get in.

The four emperors nodded.

"At present, the various forces will definitely be gradually defeated, and among these forces, there are always some powerful generals and strategists, and it is enough for you to recruit them one by one."

"Yes, the southern expedition is imminent, but we have to hurry."

……

In mid-June, Cao Cao sent troops to the south.

Shouchun and Lujiang were the first to be captured, and then Cao Cao planned to use Luzhou as a base to launch a water war.

This move was a complete victory, and the Sun-Liu Alliance was also rubbed at this moment.

Inside Jianye City.

Looking at the map, Sun Quan's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Damn Cao Cao, what should be the next water war!"

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly.

"I didn't expect that the strength of Cao Cao's navy is not bad, if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will lose."

"Who are the generals of Cao Cao's navy?"

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and immediately replied.

"Zhang Yun and Cai Mao."

Zhuge Liang nodded, and he also had a plan in his heart.

However, at this time, in Shouchun City, Cao Xuan and Sima Yi were talking in a courtyard.

Originally, Cao Cao didn't plan to take Cao Xuan with him, but he couldn't stand Cao Xuan's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he could only agree.
