The next day, at noon.

The crossing of the Yellow River, the big tent of the Chinese army.

"General Su, the prime minister has arrived." Qin Qi, the guard of the Yellow River, came to report.

Cao Cao has arrived?

Now that Cao Cao is here, Su Ming has to go out to greet him!

Although he is not interested in this cheap old man, Su Ming now has something to ask for.

Su Ming now has to find a place near the water and train the water army in order to give full play to his skills.

This has to be discussed with Cao Cao, so that he can become a county guard who relies on water.

There is something to ask for, so Su Ming must have to camp to meet Cao Cao.

Su Ming came to wait outside the camp, and soon, he saw Cao Cao's army coming.

Behind Cao Cao were two generals with big shoulders and round waists.

These two people Su Ming knew, it was Cao Ren and Cao Hong, the two generals.

"Good boy, good job!" Cao Hong came up and punched Su Ming in the chest first.

Cao Cao dismounted and said to Su Ming: "Boy, you are doing a good job, accompany me for a walk." ”

After that, Cao Cao motioned to the rest of the people not to follow, and walked towards the edge of the Yellow River by himself.

Seeing this, Su Ming also hurriedly followed.

Cao Cao and Su Ming walked on the edge of the Yellow River, and in front of them was the mighty Yellow River.

After a long time, Cao Cao took the initiative to speak: "It's me who is sorry for your mother." ”

Cao Cao said this suddenly, which was a bit unexpected by Su Ming.

And I would rather be responsible for the people of the world than let the people of the world bear my Cao Cao!

Being able to let him take the initiative to say sorry is indeed unexpected.

After being stunned for a moment, Su Ming said, "The past has passed. ”

"You can't always live in the past, you have to look forward, do you?"

Su Ming said so calmly, it seemed that he had seen more than Cao Cao.

For a while, Cao Cao didn't know what to say.

"You did a good job this time, and you gave me a big face."

"I've always been rewarded for my merits, what reward do you want?" Cao Cao asked towards Su Ming.

Originally, Su Ming was still thinking about how to open his mouth to ask Cao Cao for an official.

didn't think about it, and before he took the initiative to speak, Cao Cao mentioned this stubble first.

Since Cao Cao mentioned it, Su Ming was not welcome.

"When the child is older, it is indeed time to have his own career!" Su Ming asked tentatively.

When Su Ming said this, he showed his attitude.

That is, I have to have my own career, and I can't stay in Xudu and stay in front of you.

This sentence shows Su Ming's attitude of wanting to go out as an official.

Cao Cao was able to do this step and become a prince of one side, so he could naturally understand the meaning of Su Ming's words.

"Hmm!" Cao Cao replied softly.

Cao Cao responded lukewarmly, which made Su Ming a little confused about what he meant.

Did you agree or didn't you agree?

So, Su Ming continued to say tentatively: "I used to be an official in Jiangdong, and I am good at training sailors and building ships. The prime minister's subordinates are now lacking a decent naval army. ”

"I'm willing to work for the prime minister in this regard."

After Su Ming said this, he didn't speak anymore, but waited for Cao Cao to respond.

In fact, Su Ming really talked about Cao Cao's heart.

Cao Cao really lacks a decent naval army.

After Cao Cao took Xuzhou and Huainan, Cao Cao had three offensive plans.

The best policy, take Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is rich, there is a lot of grain, there are many people, and Jingzhou Liu Biao is weak and incompetent, and he is a dog of success.

The middle strategy, take Jiangdong.

Sun Ce was newly mourned, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, and his position was unstable, in this case, it was a good time to go to Jiangdong.

Make a decision and fight with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao had just defeated Gongsun Zhan and claimed to have an army of 700,000.

Although this 700,000-strong army is somewhat bragging in it, there is no doubt that Yuan Shao is the prince with the most soldiers and horses today.

There is no doubt that for Cao Cao, going north and Yuan Shao will have a showdown, which is the next policy.

But why, Cao Cao didn't take the upper and middle strategies, but chose this lower strategy?

In the final analysis, it is because Cao Cao does not have a water army.

He couldn't even get a ship to send troops.

Whether it is the upper strategy to take Jingzhou or the middle strategy to take Jiangdong, there is a premise.

That is, you have to have a navy that can fight.

However, Cao Cao's cavalry and infantry are very powerful, but there is no naval army.

It is precisely because of this that he can only choose to fight against Yuan Shao, the prince with the most power and the most soldiers and horses.

At this time, Cao Cao was thinking in his heart, if my son returned early for three years and five years, he would train a powerful naval army for me.

Why should I risk fighting Yuan Shao!

Take Jingzhou first, and then go down to Jiangdong, and I, Cao Cao, will be invincible.

However, there are no ifs and assumptions in this world.

"I'll think about it for one night and I'll get back to you tomorrow." Cao Cao pondered it carefully and said to Su Ming.

"Good!" Su Ming nodded and responded.

......

......

After returning to the Yellow River camp, Cao Cao did not go to see Guan Yu.

After learning that Su Ming defeated Guan Yunchang in three moves, Cao Cao didn't seem to be so bound to Guan Yunchang.

Cao Cao still admires Guan Yunchang's personality, but he doesn't think that Guan Yunchang's courage is rare in the world.

After Cao Cao settled down in the Yellow River camp, he called Guo Jia to the camp alone.

After Cao Cao told Guo Jia the original story of today's conversation with Su Ming, he came to the map and asked him, "Fengxiao, where do you say you should let him go?" ”

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's gaze was the Huainan area on the map.

This used to be Yuan Shu's territory, but after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu last year, this is already Cao Cao's territory.

Guo Jia came to the map, pointed to a location on the map, and said, "My lord, it's better to give this place to Su Minggongzi." ”

Cao Cao: "?????? ”

Seeing where Guo Jia was pointing, Cao Cao was confused.

"Fengxiao, this is Liu Biao's territory?" Cao Cao asked with some puzzlement.

The place Guo Jia refers to is Jiangxia, and the county guard of Jiangxia is Huang Zu, who nominally belongs to Liu Biao's subordinates in Jingzhou.

It is obvious that Cao Cao is about to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and he does not want to start a war on both fronts and offend Liu Biao.

"Lord, do you know that killing chickens and monkeys is also an example?"

"Jingzhou Liu Biao and Yuan Shao eyebrows come and go, beating Huang Zu, it is killing chickens and monkeys, and breaking Liu Biao's idea of fornicating with Yuan Shao." Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused and continued: "Jingzhou Liu Biao is old, but he is a dog who guards success. ”

"Jingzhou and Yuan Shao's territory are completely separated by us, and Liu Biao will never dare to start a war with us. Unless, Jiangdong is willing to help. ”

"However, if we fight Huang Zu, Jiangdong will never help Liu Biao to be our enemy."

"Eating Jiangxia is equivalent to nailing a nail in Jingzhou, and when we defeat Yuan Shao. At that time, Su Minggongzi will train the naval army, and we can take down the entire territory of Jingzhou by defending. ”
