The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 472 Intrigue
Although Cao Hong didn't know the meaning and didn't like to do it, since both Cao Cao and Guo Jia agreed, he couldn't object if he didn't like it. What's more, he was so loyal to Cao Cao that he couldn't disobey Cao Cao's orders. Political struggles are far more complex than those on the battlefield.

Cao Hong asked again: "But Zhou Yu has three generals under his command, why did my lord only let me provoke Chen Wu?"

Cao Cao answered patiently: "The three generals under Zhou Yu's command all have good talents, but Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng are relatively calm and calm in doing things. If you provoke them, maybe they won't be fooled, but Chen Wu is different. He Sex is like fire, impulsive, and the easiest to provoke, so I let you provoke him."

Cao Hong nodded as if he had realized something after hearing this. In fact, he prefers to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy than to do these things.

"By the way, Feng Xiao, why did you propose a contest of two victories out of three?" Cao Cao was puzzled.

"In fact, it is also to weaken their influence. Maybe we don't know it well, but the soldiers below often discuss the bravery of Zhou Tai and Chen Wu. It is said that they always charge forward in every battle. They are so brave that they are deeply loved by the soldiers. , but in order to prove that our generals are better than them, that's why I made this arrangement, hoping to let all soldiers know that our own generals are actually better than them." Guo Jia has his own reasons for everything he does. He intends to, but he is not strong enough to predict that Zhou Yu will leave Yecheng.

"Are you confident that you can beat Chen Wu in three days?" Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong.

"Chen Wu's martial arts are my brothers, so it's hard to say." Cao Hong himself was not fully sure of defeating Chen Wu.In fact, the reason why Guo Jia decided to win two out of three battles just now was because he saw that Cao Hong might not necessarily win Chen Wu, but he couldn't say that in front of Cao Hong, otherwise Cao Hong would definitely be unhappy.

"It doesn't matter, General Cao Hong will go all out. As long as we send General Dian Wei, we will be able to win." Guo Jia knew Dian Wei's strength, and the only person Dian Wei lost was Lu Bu. After that, Dian Wei He never lost again, but now that Lu Bu is dead, he believes that there is no one in this world who can match Dian Wei. Perhaps the only one who can match Dian Wei is Li Yuan, who once defeated Lu Bu, but now Li Yuan has a noble status, How could it be possible to fight against Dian Wei.

Cao Cao also agreed: "That's right, Dian Wei must play, there is still one candidate, who should we choose?"

"Let General Cao Xiu play." Guo Jia suggested.

Cao Cao shook his head, and rarely denied Guo Jia's suggestion, and said, "Feng Xiao doesn't know much about martial arts. Zhou Yu will only send Zhou Tai, Chen Wu and Xu Sheng. Zhou Tai is the most difficult to deal with. Dian Wei Deal with him, then Chen Wu, hand it over to Zi Lian, and finally Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng's martial arts is weaker than Zhou Tai and Chen Wu, but Wen Lie may not win against him, you should send Yuan Rang or Gong Ming to fight It's more secure."

After all, Cao Cao has practiced martial arts, so he is very clear about the abilities of the generals under his command. In terms of martial arts, Dian Wei is the most powerful, followed by Zhang Liao. Xiahou brothers Xiahou, after Zhang Liao are Zhang Yun, Xu Huang and Xiahou brothers. These three martial arts are evenly matched, but Zhang Liao, Zhang He and Xiahou Yuan are not in the city, so they can only send Xiahou Dun or Xu Huang to fight, even Cao Hong and Cao Xiu Compared with Xiahoudun and Xu Huang, it is also a line behind.

"The subordinates really don't know enough about martial arts, so the arrangement of personnel is left to the lord." Guo Jia knew that he didn't understand martial arts, so he let Cao Cao decide on the arrangement of personnel.

At this moment, Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai and Chen Wu had already returned to the mansion. Li Yuan and Lu Su were still waiting. When Lu Su saw them coming back, he stepped forward and asked, "Gong Jin, what's the matter? I'm afraid the trouble is so serious this time." I will punish you." Lu Su knew the seriousness of the matter when he saw the faces of the three of them.

"Hmph, Cao Cao doesn't know right from wrong. Cao Hong came here to make trouble, but he even punished me." Chen Wu swallowed his anger just now, but now he can scold Cao Cao without any scruples when he comes back.

"Zi Lie, it's useless for us to scold Cao Cao. He deliberately asked Cao Hong to come over to provoke him. The purpose is to weaken my influence, Zhou Yu. It seems that I have already made him feel threatened by my repeated battles and victories in Bingzhou." Zhou Yu smiled wryly. If he didn't try his best to capture Bingzhou for Cao Cao, how could he win consecutive battles, but even if he did, Cao Cao still didn't trust him, which is really sad. He really missed the time when he fought the world with Sun Ce. He only needs to make suggestions for Sun Ce and lead the troops to deploy, and he doesn't need to bother about these intrigues at all.

"How did Cao Cao punish you in the end?" Li Yuan interrupted suddenly.

Only at this time did Chen Wu discover that there were two strangers in the room, namely Li Yuan and Lu Meng, but he didn't know the identities of these two people, but he felt that Li Yuan's voice was somewhat familiar, and said, "Why is this voice so familiar? , I seem to have heard it somewhere?"

"Hahahaha, Chen Wu is really good at hearing, I am Li Yuan." Li Yuan reported his identity.

Chen Wu was even more stunned when he heard the words. He already knew that Li Yuan would send people to protect them from Yecheng, but he didn't expect that Li Yuan would come in person, but he found that although the voice of the person in front of him was Li Yuan's, his appearance was completely Different, I can't help but wonder in my heart.Lu Su saw Chen Wu's doubts, and immediately explained to him about Li Yuan's make-up, and also told him what they discussed together just now.

"General Li, you came at a good time. I don't want to serve Cao Cao for a long time." When Chen Wu said this, he seemed to forget that he had said bad things about Li Yuan not long ago, but he was so straightforward.Li Yuan just smiled and didn't speak.

"Cao Cao originally wanted to hit Zilie with a hundred army sticks, but doing so would affect our evacuation of Yecheng, so I proposed to decide the punishment in the form of a martial arts contest." Zhou Yu explained in detail what happened just now, Including Guo Jia's proposal to win two out of three games.

After hearing this, Lu Su didn't understand, and said, "It stands to reason that Guo Jia is a man of great intellect. You Ping, Zi Lie and Wen Xiang are highly skilled in martial arts. Is he so sure that he can defeat you?"

"Mr. Zijing doesn't know something. As you said, Guo Jia is highly resourceful. He never does anything he is not sure of. The reason why he proposes two victories in three battles is to kill Gongjin's prestige. By the way, he proves that Their generals are no worse than Jiangdong's generals. Secondly, it is for safety, because he knows that Cao Hong's martial arts may not be able to defeat Chen Wu, so he proposes two victories in three battles. As far as I know, there is a man named Dian Wei beside Cao Cao. He is a master who is in charge of commanding Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry. This man has great strength and martial arts, and his strength is not inferior to mine. He believes that as long as Dian Wei fights, he will definitely win a battle." Li Yuan is very familiar with Cao Cao's generals .
