"Ask whom?" Long Xiang smiled mysteriously: "Zijing can't guess?" ”

Lu Su asked rhetorically: "In addition to our people at the scene, there is only Wu Jing's opponent Xiahou Yuan left, you don't want to ask Cao Jun, right?" ”

"Or else?" Long Xiang spread his hands.

"How do you ask? Grab a Cao Jun's tongue? Lu Su asked and replied to himself: "Don't forget that most of your first batch of clairvoyant mirrors were taken away by the two generals Lei and Tang, and Wu Jing's entire army was wiped out and lost cover, so it is easy for Cao Jun to send scouts again." ”

"Haha." Long Xiang patted Lu Su's arm and quipped: "Zijing's temperament has been a little anxious recently, isn't it lonely to guard the new city?" I believe that time will give us the answer, and Cao Jun's performance will also give us the answer. ”

Lu Su: "What do you say?" ”

Long Xiang replied: "Cao Cao calculated that Wu Jing succeeded and wiped out 20,000 fresh troops in Jiangdong, if Lei Xu and Tang Yu failed to succeed, Cao Jun will inevitably fight steadily and Zhou Yu to consume, if Cao Jun suddenly becomes anxious, it means that their military food is tight and they need to leave Huainan with a quick victory." ”

"Makes sense."

Seeing Lu Su's affirmation, Long Xiang continued to add: "Actually, there is a simpler way, let the cavalry battalion explore in the direction of Shaobi, Cao Jun has so many warships, it must find a place with wide and stable water to anchor, and only Shaobi is the most suitable in the north." ”

Lu Su thought so, and looked at Long Xiang and nodded.

"I see that Yunqi is calm and calm, and he looks like a prince, if Uncle Liu Huang can achieve great achievements in the future, you will be the pillar of optimus in the Han family."

"Don't. So that there are many capable people under the command of Jun, what kind of Optimus Prime am I"

Long Xiang also added a sentence in his heart, why didn't he say Megatron? Then he added: "I have long said that we are our own people, don't praise each other again, even Zhang Liao withdrew yesterday, it seems that the danger in Hefei has been lifted, Zijing will have a drink with me tonight?" ”

"Doesn't you have to?"

Lu Su was stunned when he heard this, and quickly gave a reason: "Although Zhang Liao withdrew his troops, he can still go and return, I still go back to the new city to guard, maybe pick up Chen Wu again?" ”

"What are you as Chen Wu? Can you pick it up casually? Long Xiang hooked Lu Su's shoulders and walked towards the main hall with a smile: "It's nothing to delay for one night?" It's really not okay for you to go back after dinner, otherwise today's feast will not be prepared in vain? ”

"That's right, Wu Jing left in a hurry."

Lu Su nodded in response, and suddenly took a few steps and stopped.

"How?"

"You said that if Cao Cao knew that the grain ship was burned, would he be so angry that he couldn't eat?"

Long Xiang smiled leisurely: "Can't eat yet?" The grain ships have been burned, it is good to be able to eat, let's leave them alone, in short, Hefei must eat better than him. ”

"Haha, that's right."

On the same night, Cao Cao had not yet started to eat with his rice bowl, and Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He happened to come to report.

Hearing Xiahou Yuan's ambush, forcing Wu Jing to abandon the ship and flee with his troops, and chasing and killing a lot of people, Cao Cao couldn't help but show a look of pride on his face, and said in his heart that no matter how brilliant the plan was given by Guo Jia and Jia Xu, the final implementation would depend on his own personal arrangement.

Perfect, flawless.

Cao Cao felt sweet when he chewed the white rice because of the darkness in his heart, but the next bad news report from Zhang He made him directly stunned.

"What did you say?"

"The last general suspected that Chen Wu colluded with Mei Cheng, and not only attacked and burned our grain ships, but also burned the warships left by Wu Jing."

"What Wu Jing's warship? That's my ship! My boat! ”

With a bang, Cao Cao screamed hysterically, and angrily buckled the rice bowl on the table.

Thinking that the food for the next month was gone, Cao Cao held the bowl against the table with his left hand in the face of thunderous anger, and shoeed the rice into the bowl with chopsticks in his right hand.

Xiahou Yuan knew that Guo Jia was favored, and when he saw that Cao Cao was angry at this time, he tilted his head and gave Guo Jia a look, hoping that the other party could help him say a few good words.

Guo Jia comprehended and admonished: "Ming Gong must not be angry, although those warships were unfortunately burned, Jiangdong actually lost 20,000 people, how many 20,000 can Sun Quan make up?" This time it will inevitably hurt his vitality, and the two generals have taken it seriously, and they should also be rewarded for their merits."

"Hmm"

Cao Cao bowed slightly: "The merits and demerits are all written down for the time being, you go down to rest first, and when the people who encircled and suppressed Wu Jing come back, I will make follow-up arrangements." ”

"Yes."

Zhang He wanted to throw the pot to Mei Cheng, but when he saw Xiahou Yuan clenching his fists and saying goodbye, he also retreated.

Maybe because of the bad news, the rice in Cao Cao's mouth suddenly didn't smell good, and his mind was all about how to fight the follow-up war, after all, the rations of the front-line departments were only about ten days.

The burning of two hundred warships in Jiangdong is a small matter, and he can build it slowly in the future, the key is that the more than 1,000 Cao transport cargo ships were destroyed, which is more than half of the transportation force of Cao Cao's waterway.

The rest of the cargo ships are distributed in various counties and counties, and it takes a certain amount of time to requisition, and the consumption of land transportation by people is too terrifying, and too much conscription will stimulate rebellion, so the rear soldiers cannot be sent to the front line in a short time.

The war in Huainan must end within a dozen days.

Cao Cao put the rice bowl on the table, his stomach was empty just now, and he tried to chew it but couldn't swallow it.

Looking at Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Dong Zhao and other military strategists, Cao Cao planned to discuss with everyone.

"Fengxiao, Wenhe, Gongren, our grain ships were burned, even if the rations of the battalions were saved, they could hold out until the end of June at most, but Zhou Yu did not fall into the plan, and Wancheng was still under siege, and it was not good for the army to be consumed again, what should you do?"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu did not answer, but looked at Dong Zhao together.

Dong Zhao was the assassin of Xuzhou after taking over from Che Zhou, and Cao Cao summoned him to nominally counsel military affairs, but in fact he wanted to know about the recent situation in Xuzhou.

At present, the rebellion in Donghai County has been quelled, and Changba once again confessed his mistakes and repented, saying that he obeyed Dong Zhao's management with his tail between his legs; Chen Deng continued to resist Zhou Yu in Dongcheng County, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to 'abandon' Guangling to aid Huainan.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at themselves and forgot it, Dong Zhao found that Cao Cao was also looking at him, so he hurriedly got up and explained: "The people's livelihood in Xuzhou is withering, the taxes collected cannot make ends meet, and the cargo ship capacity is also extremely limited, I am afraid that it will not be able to support the Huainan battlefield for the time being." ”

"Gongren sat down and spoke, Xuzhou can't support it, don't force it, use the existing grain to do the existing things, this battle is almost the end of June, otherwise Yuan Benchu thought that I was trapped in Huainan, and I was afraid that I would cross the Henan invasion in a big way."

Cao Cao waved his hand to signal Dong Zhao to sit down, Xuzhou was the one who killed the people's livelihood again and again, so it is no wonder that Dong Zhao is not effective in governance, and he has not thought about asking for food in Xuzhou.

Dong Zhao sat down with confidence and said: "Chen Yuanlong was ordered to send troops to Guangling, maybe he didn't know that Zhou Yu had secretly arrived in Huainan, why don't I leave for Dongcheng tomorrow and urge him to increase his offensive in Guangling, maybe I can put some pressure on Sun Quan and Zhou Yu?" ”

"Huh? Feasible. Cao Cao nodded in surprise, and then looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu: "What about your opinions?" ”
