The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 413: Sun Quan's letter, fearing our military strength

After hearing Sima De's words, Cao Cao weighed the pros and cons.

The anger in my heart also dissipated quietly.

"Oh? Then Zhuge Liang, one of Liu Bei's men, is here too?"

Cao Cao also chuckled at this time:
"Haha, I can't even remember how many times Sun and Liu have teamed up!"

After a sigh, he immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to stand up.

Just when Sima De was feeling hopeless.

I thought Cao had calmed down his anger and was considering reorganizing his army and returning.

But he heard his father-in-law's voice suddenly become sharp.

It's like a cold front in winter!
"Yu Jin, Li Dian, Zhang Liao!"

"Each of you three will lead 10,000 naval forces."

"Go to the opposite camp and rob it after dark!"

"If the enemy is on high alert, attack their formation with a rain of arrows!"

"Yes, sir!" The three generals responded immediately upon hearing this.

Like thunder, it shook the camp which had just dawned.

In the following days, Cao Cao's army fought against the Sun-Liu coalition forces commanded by Lu Su and Zhuge Liang.

Just like giant whales and sharks in the raging sea, they fight from time to time.

Blood waves were stirred up along the Yangtze River.

However, as the two sides started a tug of war along the Yangtze River.

The battle situation fell into a delicate stalemate.

Cao's army was afraid of pushing the Sun-Liu coalition too hard, and decided to fight to the death.

On the other hand, the allied forces of Sun and Liu did not dare to act rashly.

Considering the great victory of Cao's army, morale is now high.

In this tense yet restrained confrontation, time passes quietly.

Then, in the seventeenth year of Jian'an, at the turn of August and September.

It is different from the chilly autumn in Hebei Province in the Central Plains.

The area south of the Yangtze River is still lush and green and full of vitality.

It seems that the autumn wind does not bring much chill.

"After the rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the weather turns to autumn late."

Under such circumstances, Sima De couldn't help but quote a line of ancient poetry from later generations.

At this moment, a graceful porpoise jumped out of the water.

Like an elf in the water, it arouses amazement and joy.

Immediately afterwards, more fat porpoises jumped out one after another.

It is not easy to attract the attention of Cao's soldiers.

Seeing the fish swimming in the shallow water and the porpoises chasing the waves, Sima De couldn't help but sigh:

"Wild geese fly south in the cold wind, while porpoises dance with their eyes."

"Such a beautiful scene, but it is not a place to stay for long."

Xun You on the side nodded and agreed: "The water level rises in autumn, so it is not suitable to fight for a long time."

"Any further delay will only put our army in a passive position."

"Besides, the autumn harvest is approaching, and we urgently need the lord to return and preside over it."

While the two were talking, Zhuge Dan was seen holding a rather large finless porpoise.

He walked towards them with a happy look on his face.

"My two military advisors, this is a newly captured river dolphin that you and your soldiers have captured."

"I have specially ordered this humble servant to bring it to you two for you to taste!"

Upon hearing this, Sima De looked at the porpoise and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

If he remembered correctly, this Yangtze River dolphin was later known as the "panda in the water".

In the eyes of later generations, Zhuge Dan's action was worth a pair of silver bracelets.

But on second thought, in this era even pandas can become food on the table.

What's the big deal about enjoying a white-fin dolphin?
Now he is a marquis.

It’s just that the rules of later generations cannot restrain ourselves now.

Thinking of this, he immediately instructed Xu Shu beside him:

"Please send it to the kitchen and ask the chef to cook it until it is softer."

"Add a few more nourishing herbs. Lord Xun is old and prefers thick soups."

"It just so happens that I've had some stomach discomfort lately."

Upon hearing this, Xun You quickly opened his mouth to express his gratitude.

I was secretly muttering in my heart that this kid was full of bad intentions.

But he still respects his elders.
Half an hour passed leisurely, and Xu Shu returned in a hurry.

A pot of fish soup with attractive color and fragrant aroma.

It was presented in front of Sima De and Xun You. As a time traveler who had the honor of tasting endangered species.

Sima De also picked up the edge of the bowl with some excitement at this moment.

Sip it carefully, as if every drop of fish soup is the supreme enjoyment for your taste buds.

As for how it tastes, there is no need to elaborate.

After all, the soup is made from the Yangtze River white-fin dolphin, which was almost extinct in later generations.

How can such a delicacy in the world be compared with ordinary goods?
Sima De seemed to be traveling through time and space at this moment.

Savor the exquisite seafood platter in the future five-star hotel.

The more expensive that thing is, the better it tastes!

Every bite is a symphony of tenderness and freshness.

It is far superior to the dry, rough and cheap abalone sold at street stalls.

"Please give me another bowl, Yuanzhi!"

Sima De then handed the empty bowl to Xu Shu behind him.

Desperately requesting a second serving.

"Please wait a moment, sir!" Seeing this, Xu Shu hurriedly added another bowl for him.

However, just as Sima De picked up the bowl again.

A figure behind him slowly came into view.

Sima De immediately recognized that this man was the Tiger Guard who protected Cao Cao.

Tiger Guard came hurriedly at this time and said:
"Military Advisor Sima! Military Advisor Xun!"

"The Lord has urgently summoned you all."

Hearing this, Sima De looked at the bowl of delicious fish soup with reluctance.

I asked Cao Cao's Tiger Guards:
"Guardian Chen, could you please tell me how urgent this matter is?"

"What makes the lord so anxious?"

The Tiger Guards showed hesitation when they heard this, but they thought about Cao Cao's recent esteem for Sima De.

Finally, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Let the military advisor know that Sun Quan has sent a special envoy here today!"

"Sun Quan sent an envoy?!" Sima De's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he found this matter quite strange.

However, I didn't ask any further questions so as not to embarrass this person.

"Please ask Guard Chen to go back first. Military Advisor Xun and I will follow soon."

After the tiger guards left, Sima De turned to the silent Xun You and asked softly:

"In your opinion, Lord Xun, what is Sun Quan's intention in doing this?"

Xun You's deep gaze seemed to penetrate everything when he heard this, and he replied meaningfully:
"To be honest, I think... this is not a trivial matter."

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as asking for his sister."

After saying this, Xun You left the table with a smile and walked towards the center of the warship.

Leave Sima De with a meaningful word.

When Sima De saw Xun You leaving leisurely, his eyes trembled slightly!

I couldn't help but turn around and whisper to Xu Shu and Zhuge Dan:
"Yuanzhi, Gongxiu, is it possible that I have a relationship with Sun Quan's sister?"

"Now everyone in the army knows about it?"

"It even reached Military Advisor Xun's ears?"

In this regard, Xu Shu wisely remained silent.

Zhuge Dan said quietly:
"Military Advisor, if you could restrain yourself a little at night these few days."

“I’m afraid no one knows.”

At this moment, even Cao Zhang's voice could be heard from a distance.

"Renda, it seems that you spend every night with that little sister of the Sun family, which is really disturbing!"

Apparently he was also summoned by his father Cao Cao.

At this time, he was about to go to the central army to attend the military meeting.

But this guy is so frank.

But Sima De almost choked on a mouthful of fish soup!
He couldn't help but put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said with a twitch of his mouth:
"Humph! You guys are jealous of my vigor and strength!"

However, his tough look seemed a little pale.

Then he hurriedly caught up with Cao Zhang.

Less than half an incense stick later, on the main ship of Cao's army.

Cao Zhang and Sima De also arrived late, and at this time the civil and military officers in the army had already gathered.

An envoy from Jiangdong stood silently in front.

At this time, Cao Cao was sitting in the main seat, playing with a letter in his hand.

There was a meaningful smile on his face.

"Great! What a great saying, 'As the autumn tide rises, you should return home early'!"

"The envoy from Jiangdong, I have a question for you!"

"Sun Quan sent you here with a letter. Could it be that he is afraid of my army approaching?"
