Cao Jun, Jiangyang Water Village.

In the big tent, Cao Cao sat on the couch, and the generals and officials all sat separately. Gan Ning and Yu Shao stood in the tent with their hands in their hands and humbled faces, waiting for Cao Cao's questioning.

Cao Cao squinted at the two generals Gan and Yu, and asked: "Since you two are Jiangzuo generals, how can you be chased and killed by the Jiangdong Naval Division, and how can you lead the army to surrender?" ”

Gan Ning knelt down on one knee and said, "Prime Minister Qi, Ning Gai received the grace of Liu Bei and fought Jiangzuo for him. However, looking at the general trend of the world, the people of Shanyue in the six counties of Jiangdong want to block the millions of people in China, and the disparity between the numbers is huge, and Jiang Zuo can not be the enemy. Jiang Zuo's generals were tricked by Liu Bei and Huo Jun, and it was difficult to see the depths. ”

"Today's return is for the general trend. Huo Jun ruled the water army, with Ning Yongwu and Lai, and often used Ning as the vanguard. And on the day of the confrontation, he would rather be the front of the prime minister, break the left water division of the river, serve the prime minister, and level the left side of the river. ”

Yu Shao glanced at Sun Quan with his eyes, seemed to be asking for help there, and said: "Prime Minister Qiyu, Shao is a member of the Sun clan, the second Liu enters the Jiangzuo, and Shao has to change his surname to Yu in order to avoid disasters." Before the war, when Sun ~ General Sun's letter was obtained, Shao had the intention of surrendering, but there was nothing to enter the body, and General Gan wanted to return to the prime minister, so Shao and the prime minister were voted with. ”

"Smack!"

Cao Cao's face was cold, he retook the case, and said: "Come on, push out this deceitful general!" ”

"No!"

"Prime Minister~"

In the tent, not only Gan and Yu's faces changed drastically, but even the military generals on the left and right also changed their expressions suddenly, and they didn't understand why Cao Cao did this.

Gan Ning's arms were grabbed by two warriors, he struggled to break free, and said angrily: "Cao Cao, I, Gan Ning, really vote for you, why do you treat me like this now." ”

Saying that, Gan Ning looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "Hate me Gan Ning for not distinguishing between the master, and now he has no eyes to abandon Liu Gong and leave, and mistakenly serve others!" ”

Yu Shao was also struggling there, holding his head towards Sun Quan, and said in a panic: "General Sun, I received a letter from you, how can this happen?" Please help me! ”

Seeing that Sun Shao was treated like this, Sun Quan hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, although Sun Shao's surname is Yu, he is the nephew of my Sun family's general Sun He. ”

At this time, Cao Cao raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stop moving, his eyes were aimed at Gan Ning, and he said with a sneer: "Liu Xuande is good at winning people's hearts and often treats people with kindness. If you are afraid of the strength of our army, why don't you surrender early, but after the victory of your army's naval division, lead the army to surrender to our department? ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao tapped the two of them with his finger and said, "Therefore, if you look at it alone, you and Yu Shao will be the generals of deception!" ”

Yu Shao struggled a few times, and hurriedly said: "The prime minister is not unwilling, but there should be a secret in it." And General Gan's surrender now is also forced by the situation. ”

Cao Cao looked at the two of them carefully and said, "Let the two of you explain one or two, if you misunderstand the two of you, you should apologize to the two generals." ”

Gan Ning's arms broke free from the hands of the warriors, stretched his arms, and said: "What the prime minister said is good, Liu Gongen is more generous than the group, and would rather run for it and fight in the rivers and lakes." Therefore, when the prime minister went south, he was willing to fight bravely for the striker. ”

"However, Huo Jun was unscrupulous and tried to use the strategy of exhausting the army, relying on the spring rain and the danger of Yunze, to drag down the prime minister's army. He didn't know that if the prime minister benefited from Jianghuai and attacked Xiakou Jiancheng, if the above two were lost, then his strategy of exhausting the army would be difficult to achieve. ”

"I would rather think that when I win the prime minister quickly and defeat the prime minister's army, I can save Jiangzuo from disaster. Unexpectedly, Huo Jun thought very highly of himself and did not want to take Naning's opinion...... I think before the war between the two armies, Huo Jun was General Liu Qi, and I was only a pioneer general. Even if there is Liu Gong's protection, it is inevitable that his military order will punish him, so he has to be persuaded by public courtesy and words, and he will vote for Cao Gonger! ”

Gan Ning's tone became excited, and he said: "If the prime minister doesn't believe it, he can take the boat with Guan Ning." There are big boats with beating poles in the boats, and there are fast boats with cars and boats, which is the sharp weapon of the Jiangzuo Sailor. If Cao Gong imitates these two things, can't he win Huo Junhu? ”

Saying that, Gan Ning sneered a few times and said, "When will Gong Cao see someone who has deceived and surrendered, committed a deceptive thing, and brought his own life's things into the camp." Cao Gong Mo thinks Liu Gong is stupid, or Huo Jun is stupid? ”

Oh, yes!

How could a person who surrendered by deception bring to the other side a secret instrument that is related to the survival of the war, this can no longer be explained by deception.

Unless Jiang Zuo, Huo and Liu thought that they could defeat Cao Cao's army without relying on the water division.

But is it possible?

At this time, Yang Xiu also happened to enter the account, walked to Cao Cao's ear, and said in a low voice: "Prime Minister, there are big boats, cars and boats in the boats brought by Gan and Yu, all of which are things that our army dreams about day and night. ”

Cao Cao immediately showed a smile, got up and arched his hand and said: "Two generals, I don't know what is going on, I misunderstand the two generals, and I miss a big thing. I hope the two generals will forgive me, and set up a banquet to thank the sins! ”

"Don't dare!"

Gan Ning's face was stinky, and he reluctantly saluted Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's face was slightly straight, and he scolded left and right and said: "The two generals came from afar, and they didn't arrange to sit on the table. ”

Then, Cao Cao smiled again: "The etiquette is not prepared, I hope the two generals will not blame!" ”

Gan Ning's expression relaxed, went down the ladder, and said with a sigh: "Prime Minister, I and Yu Gongli are surrendering with all our hearts, like a baby looking forward to their parents, looking forward to rain and dew in a great drought. The prime minister misunderstood me and the public courtesy, and I was very upset. ”

Cao Cao gave Gan Ning face again, invited him to take his position, and said: "Thank you for the trust of the two generals, you will live up to the two, please sit down and rest for the time being." ”

While speaking, Cao Cao poured bowls of wine for Gan Ning and Yu Shao, and said with a smile: "If he makes contributions in the future, he will calm Jiangzuo." The two knights should be above all men. ”

Seeing Cao Cao's courtesy to him, Gan Ning was very moved, drank the wine, and said: "I would rather thank the prime minister for his kindness, and he should work for the prime minister." ”

Cao Cao sat back on the couch and asked, "Xingba, the public ceremony came from the Jiangdong camp, and I saw that the gentleman spoke well, I don't know if there is a strategy to break the enemy and teach me!" ”

Gan Ning sat on the couch and arched his hand and said, "I have two strategies for the prime minister to break through the river." One of the strategies is to benefit the army Jianghuai, storm the mouth of the water, take Chaohu Lake, build a boat in the lake, cross to the south of the Yangtze River, and then take Jiangzuo. ”

"The second strategy is that among the ships brought by Ning, there are clap sticks, cars and ships, and Ming Gong can create clap poles, cars and boats. And the success of the two things, when the river goes straight down, you can break the Jiangdong water division. Once the Jiangdong Naval Division is broken, Jiangzuo will surrender without a fight! ”

Cao Cao groaned a little and said: "Jianghuai has no boat, and it is cumbersome to build. Nowadays, it can be built on the spot and installed on the big ship. As for the speed of the car and boat, it is useless when the boat fights head-on. ”

Cao Cao did not send many troops to Jianghuai, the core problem was that crossing the river to the south of the Yangtze River needed to be carried by a water division, and Cao Cao, who lacked a water division, sent more troops to Jianghuai no matter how useless. And it takes time and effort to build ships, and Cao Cao, who just finished the Battle of White Wolf Mountain last year, simply didn't have time to build them.

Now Cao Cao's appeal is to defeat the Jiangdong Naval Division, and then transport troops across the river to defeat Er Liu by land.

After a pause, Cao Cao looked at Cai Mao, who had not long entered the camp tent, and asked, "The boats are connected from end to end, can you use a clap stick?" ”

Cai Mao said: "Prime Minister Qiqi, Jiang Zuo's clapstick is connected to the cabin, if it is modeled after Jiang Zuo, the boat needs to be rebuilt." Mao and the boatsmith looked at it and thought that they could change it slightly, and used the clapstick on the connecting boat. ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said, "The iron cable is connected to the boat with a clap rod, I don't know how effective it is?" ”

"In front of the boulder emperor, the big ship is land, and the Jiangzuo Sailor will be defeated!" Cai Mao said with a smile: "Congratulations to the prime minister, I will go down to Jiang Zuoer in the near future!" ”

"Huh!"

Cao Cao was in a very good mood, turned his head and looked at the two generals Gan Ning and Yu Shao, and said with a smile: "When the water division is fighting, I wonder if the two generals are willing to lead the army to fight?" ”

"How dare you, the two of us are willing to be pioneers."

"Good!"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "In the future, the battle will depend on the two generals." Miaocai led the two generals to retreat and arranged for the camp to rest. ”

"No!"

Xiahou Yuan led Gan and Yu to retreat. and the three of them left the tent, and Cao Cao asked the non-confidants to retreat.

There are only people left in the tent who can be trusted by the confidants, Xun Youjin said: "Prime Minister, Gan Ning's repeated person, was first under Liu Zhang, and then under Liu Biao's account, and then he was used by Huang Zu, and then by Liu Bei. Such a person, although carrying a racket stick, a car and a boat, cannot be convinced! ”

In a short period of time, Xun You listened to Gan Ning's details clearly, and then reported to the above.

Cao Cao stroked his beard, laughed a few times, and said: "Gan Ning is a human being, how can he not know that he is lonely, just because of the lack of generals in water warfare." Huo Jun fought with a sailor, and mostly used Gan Ning as the vanguard, nothing more than using his martial arts, and the same is true of Jingu. ”

"When Jiang Zuoshui is defeated, find an idle official position and wait for Gan Ning. Previously, he was suspected of being a deceitful person, but he was just desperate to control his heart, and he used courtesy to collect his heart, thinking that it was just for temporary use. ”

Saying that, Cao Cao pondered a few points and said, "I don't know how Yu Shao is?" Can I use it? ”

"Yu Shao is a member of Sun Quan's clan, or he can use it. After all, the slap stick, the car and the ship are not fake. ”

Cheng Yu groaned and said: "If the prime minister is self-conscious and can't be convinced, it is better to put the two of them in the military camp behind the state mausoleum. ”

Cao Cao's camp is more than 100 miles long, the front army reaches the 100-person mountain, the Chinese army water division is in Yanggang Water Village, and the rear army is around the state tomb city.

If the two generals are placed in the city of Lingcheng, separated by the Yangtze River, they will not look at the Jiangzuo Naval Division due to the terrain, and they will basically cut off contact with the Jiangzuo Naval Division. At the same time, it is also far away from the water village and cannot pose a danger to Cao Cao's water master.

"You can say it from Zhongde!"

Cao Cao laughed a few times and said: "No matter what, if there is that slap rod and connect the boat, that is, break the second Liu'er!" ”
