Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 268
After reading the Yangtze River News, Jia Xu looked solemn, wondering if their tactics would not be so stable, otherwise how could there be Chibi's amazing performance?

"My lord, Liao Li's comments clearly express solidarity with his allies, but secretly they also mean to belittle the incompetence of Jiangdong's soldiers. Is there any fraud in this?" Jia Xu fell into deep thought.

Cao Cao shook his head lightly: "At first I didn't like the Changjiang Daily, but I didn't expect that now it's the fourth issue, and I still appreciate this stamina. The content of these issues is basically true, but it is too much to whitewash the beauty of Jingzhou. , Liu Bei's move is nothing more than stabilizing people's hearts, it seems that Jingzhou in Liu Qi's hands is not doing very well."

Cheng Yu quickly added: "Most of Jingzhou's wealth is in Nanjun. The prime minister moved away a large number of people in the past. Liu Xuande's clever wife can't afford to live without rice. The slow development in these years is normal, so he came up with the idea of ​​Yizhou."

"Then Liu Zhang is now in his prime. He can't be as precarious as Tao Qian and Liu Biao. The big-eared thief wants to use his old tricks to benefit the state again? It is absolutely wishful thinking. After Gu Chou defeats Sun Quan and conquers Jiangdong, he will go up the river and meet Zi Xiao. If we attack Jingzhou, the whole world will be unified?" Cao Cao's mind was filled with a heroic scene.

"Prime Minister, the current battle." Jia Xu reminded you that it is too far away.

Cao Cao sat upright and sneered: "Sun Liu is called an ally, but he is actually an opponent. This kind of fragile alliance is not worth mentioning. Liao Li's secret derogation is the truth."

"Jiangdong is actively preparing for the battle this time, we still can't underestimate the enemy." Jia Xu feels that everyone is drifting, and it doesn't matter if they lose, but shouldn't he, the doctor, also have to run away?I really don't want to repeat the embarrassing days of Chibi.

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Only Zhou Yu in Jiangdong can use troops. If you have seen Sun Quan leading troops, you won't be so worried."

Cao Cao said very seriously: "Zhongde's words are not bad. Sun Quan's use of troops is very different from Zhou Yu's. Besides, Gu really did not underestimate the enemy this time. Sun Quan relied on nothing more than warships. Degui has been supervising shipbuilding in Huaisi for the past few years. Ship, now our navy is much stronger than it was in Chibi, and the initiative in the war is now with me, not a thief."

Jia Xu saw that this was the case from top to bottom, so he retreated to his position and stopped persuading him.

A few days later, Cao Cao's troops went to the east of Xiang'an, twenty miles west of Qibao Mountain, and the army stationed there, but the banners covered the sky, and the tents stretched for several miles.

All the armies arrived at the scheduled positions within the time limit, Cao Cao and the battalion leaders gathered together for a banquet, and just fell asleep at night when they heard the noise outside the tent.

As Cao Cao got older, he became more and more suspicious. He was especially afraid that someone would kill him while he was asleep. He was a light sleeper and heard noises. He hurriedly got up from the bed and saw a faint light of fire outside the tent.

Could it be that someone set fire again?Cao Cao was shocked and called out, "Where is Zhongkang?"

"My lord, what are your orders?" Xu Chu asked, bowing and cupping his fists.

Cao Cao asked in the dark: "What's the matter with the sound and fire outside the tent?"

Xu Chu guessed: "That is the front camp a few miles away, and it seems that a small group of enemies are harassing it."

Cao Cao sat up, and the waiter outside the tent immediately changed his clothes by lighting the lamp. He stood outside the main tent with his fur robe, and saw the stars and stars in the distance. Or the Yangtze River is still very far away, even if there is also a southeast wind to help, there is nothing for the other party to burn.

"My lord, there is nothing important, please rest early"

"Okay, just call me if it's urgent."

"only."

Cao Cao turned off the lights and continued to sleep, but because of his personality, he couldn't sleep because the troops were only stationed temporarily, and the camps had not yet been formally established. The troops just guarded his main camp in the middle, in case someone rushed into the main tent if the defense was improper. How to do?
With such a mentality in mind, Cao Cao could only fall asleep around Zishi.

It was winter at this time, and the cold wind was howling outside the camp, which was a good time for dreaming.

Cao Cao dreamed of good wine in his bed, dreamed of gold and iron horses, dreamed of a lucky woman, and also dreamed that he was wearing a crown and called Wei Gong, and all the officials in the court knelt down to congratulate him.

But suddenly the scene changed, and Cao Cao seemed to be in a stable. At this time, he was holding a handful of hay, and three horses in front of the trough were neighing at him.

There was a snap, and a black-faced man whipped him. Cao Cao hugged himself tightly with trembling arms, only to realize that he was not wearing anything.

Shouldn't it be pain?Why am I so cold?

The black-faced man raised his whip again, and Cao Cao instinctively dodged to the back of the stable.

The picture shifted again, and the black-faced man turned into Xu Chu, holding Cao Cao's quilt in his hand.

"My lord, there is an urgent military situation." Xu Chu looked anxious.

Cao Cao usually slept very lightly, and would wake up as soon as there was a slight noise. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't wake up just now, Xu Chu would not have made such a plan to lift the quilt.

"It turned out to be Zhongkang, just now." Cao Cao hesitated halfway through speaking, and then grabbed the quilt from Xu Chu's hand and wrapped it around his body.

"My lord, generals Zhang and Zang are seeking an audience outside the tent," Xu Chu said.

Cao Cao slowly recovered from the nightmare, "Let them in quickly."

When Xu Chu walked out of the big tent, Cao Cao sat cross-legged on the Hu bed, with the quilt wrapped up from the neck down.

After Zhang Liao and Zang Ba entered the tent, they couldn't help laughing, then bowed their heads and cupped their fists in salute, "Master."

"What time is it now? Aren't you resting in the camp?" Cao Cao asked with a yawn.

Zhang Liao clasped his fists and reported: "My lord, General Wenbo's camp was harassed just now, and he sent 3000 men to pursue it and has not returned yet."

"The pursuit at night took a long time, it's normal, how long has it been since the harassment?" Cao Cao asked nonchalantly.

"The ugly time is over now, Wenbo has been chasing for more than three hours." Zhang Liao replied.

Cao Cao's tired mind instantly cleared up, and he shouted to Xu Chu outside the door: "Someone go and wake up Zhong De, Wen He, and come to the main tent to see me."

"Wei." Xu Chu responded, and first called a waiter to change Cao Cao's clothes, and then called a dozen tiger guards to explain.

Although Cao Cao only asked Cheng Yu and Jia Xu to be woken up, Xu Chu knew that the boss would definitely not sleep again, so he also woke up the rest of the accompanying civil and military personnel, such as Dong Zhao, Jiang Ji, Han Hao, Cao Xiu, Cao Hong and so on.

The so-called sleeping together and being difficult together, Xu, who has been on the night shift for a long time, gave everyone the opportunity to stay up late together.

Candles were lit one after another in each battalion, and the soldiers who were resting were also passively awakened. The general who was notified put on his clothes, yawned and ran to the main tent in the cold wind.

Cao Cao worked at night, so he not only wore thick clothes, but the feeling in the dream just lingered, and he also asked people to set up two braziers in the tent to keep warm.

"Tonight I'm a little excited and can't sleep, please come and talk with me." Cao Cao looked around and saw that everyone was sleepy.

The boss couldn't sleep, and he was afraid that he wanted to be with him unconditionally, so the two instigators Zhang Liao and Zang Ba didn't speak.

After a moment of silence, Cao Cao asked Han Hao, the leader of the army, "Where is Degui's navy now?"
