Three Kingdoms: Do you want me to get out of here? Liu Bei, you wait

Chapter 129: Su Chen, the confident Cao Cao

"Military advisor, are you planning a counter-espionage plot?" Cao Cao asked.

"Not bad." Su Chen nodded.

Cao Cao immediately asked, "This idea is good, but will it really work? If we go to Huairou to recruit Fengchu now, will Fengchu be fooled?"

As he spoke, there was a hint of doubt in his words.

It is obvious that Cao Cao is not particularly optimistic about Su Chen's strategy this time.

Seeing him like this, Cao Cao was not angry, but explained with a smile.

He analyzed the pros and cons for Cao Cao.

"It is a different time now, my lord."

"Now Pang Shiyuan has killed Mr. Shuijing and revealed in public the plan he had discussed with Zhuge Kongming, Zhou Yu and others. This is tantamount to breaking off the alliance between Sun and Liu."

"Neither Liu Bei nor Sun Quan will be able to use him again in the future."

"If he still wants to realize his ambitions in the future, there is no other way for him to go except to join the lord's sect. There is even a high probability that he will sincerely join the lord."

After hearing this, Cao Cao naturally had an idea for a moment.

But soon, this intention turned into worry.

"That's true, but I'm still worried... After all, people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs."

"How about this, Military Advisor Su? Give me some of the wine you used to treat Pang Tong. I'll go and see how sincere that guy is."

Cao Cao spoke excitedly, with expectation in his eyes.

Su Chen looked at it, but did not intend to admit it. Instead, he cleared himself completely and said.

"Pang Tong spoke the truth after drinking. What does it have to do with my drink?"

"My lord, you really think too much."

"And to see if he is sincere today, there is no need to go through so much trouble."

"Oh?"

"Mr. Su, do you have any other ideas?"

"Please give me some advice, sir!"

Seeing how confident he was, Cao Cao couldn't help but show a bit of curiosity.

Su Chen asked back.

"My lord, do you still remember the strategy I mentioned before?"

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "You mean... the iron chain across the river?"

Su Chen nodded, "Yes, if Dongwu wants to repel us, there is only one way to go. My lord, you can deliberately induce Pang Tong to tell us this plan. See if he can point out the fatal flaw of this plan. If he does, it means he is truly surrendering. Otherwise, he still has ulterior motives. Whether it is true or not, we will know it after a try."

Su Chen spoke with certainty.

Look at him like this.

After Cao Cao hesitated, his face showed a bit more decisiveness.

"Okay, then let's do as you say, sir!"

"Then I wonder, what if Pang Tong really surrenders, and what if he is pretending?"

Su Chen said, “If you are sincere and want to know the shortcomings, then tell him all the details of our plan, send him to Dongwu, and continue to trick Zhou Lang and his men into using the iron chain across the river strategy to set up a battle.

After the matter is accomplished, we will naturally send someone to bring him back and reward him with a high position and generous salary."

"If it's fake, haha, then there's no need to be strict about the interests. Just pretend to fall into the trap and send Pang Tong to Jiangdong as well."

"By then, he will think that we have fallen into a trap. In order to offset the mistake of angering Mr. Shui Jing to death, he will naturally encourage Jiangdong Zhou Yu and others to fight hard."

"In fact, the result makes no difference to us."

"What matters most is his own ending."

"If it is the latter, when the generals of the Eastern Wu finally find out that they have been fooled and suffer heavy losses, then Sun Quan will find that the foundation of Jiangdong is in jeopardy. Do you think that with his character, he will still let Pang Shiyuan leave peacefully?"

"Need I say more about his fate then?"

Finally finished.

The two people in front of him gasped in unison.

Only then did I understand what Su Chen had just meant when he said that living people are more useful than dead people.

It took a long time to work on it together.

It’s not that Su Chen doesn’t want Pang Shiyuan to die, but he plans to squeeze out every last bit of his usefulness and then send him to death.

"Great! Mr. Su!"

"You played this trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone beautifully. If Pang Tong really died at the hands of Sun Quan, no one would be able to link the death of Feng Chu to our lord. Instead, our lord would gain a reputation for being respectful to the wise. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

Xu Chu was excited.

Seeing him like this, Cao Cao beside him shook his head and corrected him with a serious face.

"It's not killing two birds with one stone, it's killing three birds with one stone."

"Kill three birds with one stone?" Xu Chu was surprised.

Cao Cao immediately added.

"That's right, Zhongkang, you only analyzed the situation of Pang Shiyuan, and didn't think about the situation if he really surrendered to me. You didn't think about what would happen if he really surrendered to me.

By then, I will not only successfully lure the generals of the Eastern Wu into a trap, but also gain a talented young man who can be compared with Zhuge Liang. Don't you think this is killing three birds with one stone?
No matter what, it’s a huge profit. This is truly a foolproof strategy.

The talent of the military advisor is truly unprecedented. However, there is one more thing that I think I should consider carefully. If this matter cannot be resolved.

Then all this is just empty talk."

But Cao Cao is still Cao Cao.

I'm not blindly optimistic.

At the beginning, he was full of emotion, but at the end, the topic changed and he became a little more worried.

Look at him like this.

Su Chen's expression also became serious, and he immediately asked in a serious tone.

"Oh? I don't know what you are talking about, my lord."

Cao Cao reminded, "That's the method of extinguishing fire that Su Junshi mentioned. Does it really exist?"

"If we can't put out the fire in a short period of time, and it ends up burning the entire camp, then all our efforts will be in vain."

Su Chen came back to his senses and looked at Cao Cao's serious expression again.

I felt both amused and helpless, and said.

"What was I worried about when I was the prime minister? It turns out it was this."

"Then the Prime Minister can rest assured."

"If I wasn't 100% sure, how could I dare to make this plan in public?"

"Oh? 100% sure? Are you serious, Mr. Su?"

Seeing him speak so confidently, Cao Cao couldn't help but show a bit of curiosity and immediately started asking.

When Su Chen saw this, he didn't explain any more.

He immediately handed over the pump in his hand and said
"Whether it is true or not, the Prime Minister will know it after trying it."

"This thing is called a pump, and it is used to put out fires. The Prime Minister will know its effectiveness by looking at it himself."

After saying that, he walked to the pool again and started pumping water.

In an instant, an astonishing water column five or six meters high was shot out.

A column of water shot up into the sky.

Like a light rain, Cao Cao's hands and feet were all wet in an instant.

See this scene.

Cao Cao was not angry at all.

Instead, he burst into laughter.

Holding the wooden pump again, it felt like holding a rare treasure.

His eyes were full of joy.

"Good good!"

"With this magical object, unless that countryman Zhuge can summon the fire from heaven and turn beans into soldiers, this Dongwu will be mine sooner or later!"

"Military advisor, my military advisor is really..."

After saying that, he immediately raised his head and looked at Su Chen affectionately.

When Su Chen saw this, he felt a chill.

He immediately interrupted the spell, took out a bronze mirror from his arms and stuffed it into Cao Cao's hand.

"What does it mean to suddenly give Lone Bronze Mirror to me?"

Cao Cao was at a loss.

Su Chen said, "I hope you can practice your acting skills when you have nothing to do. After all, it is a technical job to persuade Feng Chu to be polite and courteous. Don't let the other party see the clues."

After hearing this, Cao Cao just laughed, threw the bronze mirror away, and said confidently.

"I wonder what this bronze mirror is used for. So it's this."

"Then Mr. Su can rest assured. I am also a professional in acting."
