Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 298 Jia Xu's Methods

"Wenhe...if you have a plan, tell me. If we can unite with Eastern Wu to destroy Shu first, then the world will definitely belong to the Cao family!"

Since everyone present was his family, Cao Cao spoke directly.

When he heard Jia Xu say that they could unite with Sun Quan, he knew that this would be a game-changer, so he asked anxiously.

But Jia Xu said: "The Sun and Liu families are united on the surface, but in reality they are full of contradictions."

"Sun Quan's two generals, Zhou Yu and Lu Meng, both died at the hands of Liu Bei. No... to be more precise, they were killed by Xing Daorong's men!"

Hearing Xing Daorong's name, Cao Cao suddenly felt his head hurt again.

Jiangdong hated that guy, and so did Cao Cao.
I wish I could tear him into pieces!
As the King of Wei, Cao Cao could not show such hatred on his face. He could only hold back the splitting headache and pretended to be calm: "Wenhe, do you mean that the key to this matter lies with Xing Daorong?"

Jia Xu said: "Yes, if you want to ally with Sun Quan, you must first destroy the relationship between Sun and Liu."

"Xing Daorong is now Liu Bei's trusted general, and he regards him as his own brother... Liu Bei said this in front of the whole world."

"If he is harmed by Dongwu, then the alliance will naturally break up."

Cao Cao nodded and shook his head when he heard this.

But he said: "If Dongwu had the ability to control Xing Daorong, it wouldn't be like this today."

"Besides, this guy will never go to Jiangdong again, so how can he be harmed by Jiangdong?"

That's true.

No matter how reckless Xing Daorong is, it is impossible for him to go to Jiangdong under the current circumstances.

Although they each serve their own master, it is normal for them to fight to the death on the battlefield.

But after all, Xing Daorong has the blood of Lu Meng and Gan Ning on his hands, and he also kidnapped Zhou Tai. With such a deep blood feud, wouldn't it be courting death if he went there?

However, since Jia Xu made such suggestions, he must have a plan in mind.

But he said: "These few days... I asked someone to investigate carefully."

"I have learned everything about Xing Daorong. It is clear to me."

"King Wei, do you know who his wife is?"

Although Cao Cao loved other people's wives, he didn't know clearly who other people's wives were.

So when Jia Xu asked this question, Cao Cao was a little confused.

He just frowned and said, "Does this matter have anything to do with who his wife is?"

Jia Xu said: "Of course there is some relationship. Xing Daorong currently has one wife and two concubines. His legal wife Ma is Ma Chao's sister. She saved Xing Daorong from the enemy during the Battle of Guanzhong, so she became his legal wife."

"One of the two concubines is Fan, whom he met in Jingnan. She is his wife through thick and thin."

"The other one is Da Qiao, the widow of Sun Ce and one of the two Qiao sisters of Jiangdong."

When Cao Cao heard this, his brows jumped, and his expression changed slightly, which was rare.

But he said: "Xing Daorong is really capable. A man from Jiangdong can actually let Sun Ce's widow become his concubine, and he is not afraid of internal turmoil."

Jia Xu's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a secret smile, and said: "This is exactly the key. Although Da Qiao is in Chengdu now, Sun Ce's son is still with Sun Quan. As long as Jiangdong wants to harm his son, he must return to Jiangdong."

"Xing Daorong is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. As long as Da Qiao wants to return to Jiangdong, he will definitely go."

"Once he enters Jiangdong, he will surely die. If he dies, Liu Bei will certainly take revenge, and the alliance between Liu and Sun will be broken."

"Then the King of Wei can propose marriage to Sun Quan and win him over."

Cao Cao nodded after hearing this.

The key to Jia Xu's plan was nothing else but to use Xing Daorong's "loyalty and loyalty". If it were someone else, then what would it have to do with the danger of Sun Ce's son?

This is truly a strategy to play on people’s hearts!

Cao Cao said, "This is a good plan. But we must first destroy Jiangdong's momentum, so that Sun Quan can wake up and use this plan."

"So, how do we defeat Jiangdong? Do you have any plan?"

When it comes to calculating people's hearts, most people present are not as good as Jia Xu, but when it comes to such battlefield planning, everyone can still come up with ideas.

Everyone started talking at once and coming up with ideas.

As they were talking, they heard someone come in and report, "There's a man from Jiangdong outside, calling himself Peng Ying, who says he has something important to tell you and wants to see the King of Wei."

Peng Ying?

This name is very unfamiliar.

Just don’t worry about whether the name is unfamiliar or not. Since he is from Jiangdong, it would be useful to meet him.

Cao Cao laughed and said to everyone, "Everyone, we have to ask for your advice. The way to defeat the enemy will come naturally. Please invite Peng Ying in to talk!"

Upon hearing this, the visitor immediately went out to invite someone, and soon Peng Ying came into the tent.

When everyone looked over, they saw that Peng Ying was covered in dirt.

Not only was his face covered in dust, but his clothes were also tattered.

It can be seen that he suffered a lot along the way.

Cao Cao saw this but did not ask why the man came. He just called someone over and said, "How can you let the gentleman be like this? Send someone to take him to wash up quickly."

Peng Ying was filled with gratitude, and immediately felt like he had found his "family". He called out, "King Wei, please wait until I have finished speaking. It won't be too late to go wash up then!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly when he heard this and said, "Peng Ying, since you are from Jiangdong and you know that Jiangdong is fighting a life-and-death battle with us, why did you come here?"

Peng Ying bowed and said, "Please let the King of Wei know that I was originally serving Liu Zhang in Chengdu, but unexpectedly Liu Bei broke his promise and entered Shu to seize power. Seeing his bad character, I was unwilling to serve him, so I went to Jiangdong to deal with Liu Bei."

"Unexpectedly, Sun Quan is such a jerk that he doesn't want to deal with Liu Bei, but goes to war with the King of Wei!"

"I heard the news and fled overnight. I came here to seek refuge with the King of Wei."

When Cao Cao heard what Peng Ying said, he immediately knew that this guy was talking nonsense.

But no matter what the reason is, as long as it works.

He immediately said, "I see. It's a pity that there are too few people as knowledgeable as you in Jiangdong. Now they are under great pressure and are attacking Shouchun. We don't know how to defeat the enemy."

Since Peng Ying came here, he naturally knew that he had to submit his loyalty.

Then he called out, "King of Wei, I have a plan. We can burn the grain and grass in Jiangdong. As long as we burn the grain and grass in Jiangdong, they will collapse without a fight!"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao suddenly felt a familiar feeling.

When he was fighting the Battle of Guandu with Yuan Shao, he was on the verge of despair. Then Xu You arrived and gave him the idea of ​​burning the grain and grass, which led to a great defeat for Yuan Shao.

Now that I am in a critical moment again, and Peng Ying has come here, doesn't it mean that God's will is on my side?

Cao Cao was excited and felt that his headache was relieved a lot. He still looked calm and nodded slightly at Peng Ying, indicating that he should continue.

Peng Ying said: "The food and baggage of the Jiangdong army are all stored in Jiujiang. Now I have sent Zheng Quan to guard it. Zheng Quan is a man who can't live without wine!"

"When I was at leisure, I often said: 'I wish I could have a boat full of 500 hu of fine wine, with some seasonal delicacies placed at both ends, and drink it over and over again. When I was tired, I would stop and eat some food. If the wine was reduced by a dou or a liter, I would immediately replenish it. Wouldn't that be great!'"

"The King of Wei can select elite soldiers and pretend to lead them to protect their food supplies. Then, take advantage of the situation to burn their food and supplies. The Jiangdong army will be in chaos in less than three days!"
