Chapter 20-Cao Cao: "Wenhe, What Do You Think?"”(New book!)
In Cao Cao's main camp, a pre-battle meeting was being held.
Basically, all the generals and strategists who had come with Cao Cao to the south had arrived.
This time, Cao Cao went south with the intention of taking down Sun Quan from Jiangdong.
As early as last year, Cao Cao had ordered his subordinates to dig the Xuanwu Pond in the north of Ye City to train the navy.
Now, they had sent their troops here to wipe out Jingzhou and Jiangdong.
Cao Cao sat on the main seat.
The strategists sitting down were Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu.
Other than the three top strategists, there were others. Among them, Chen Jiao, Dong Zhao, Chen Qun, Xun Rong, and the others were the more famous strategists.
If it was in the past, there would definitely be the genius Guo Jia.
Unfortunately, Guo Jia had died of illness on the way back to the city when Cao Cao was conquering the Wuhuan last year.
Xun Yu stayed in Xudu to lead the rear defense.
The Cao generals in the tent were the South Conquering General Cao Ren, Li Feng General Cao Hong, and the three commanders of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, and Cao Xiu.
The one supervising the grain transportation was Xiahou Yuan of the Xiahou clan.
Other than Cao Cao's close relatives, there were also Vigorous General Man Chong, Hengye General Xu Huang, Tiger General Yu Jin, Destructive General Zhang Liao, Pingdi General Zhang He, and Breaking General Yue Jin.
Such a lineup was enough to prove Cao Cao's determination to go south.
If Cao Cao had not been guarding against Ma Teng in the northwest, there would have been even more generals participating in the Jingzhou Battle.
"Yesterday, at the Battle of Changban Slope, although our army had some gains, we were unable to capture Liu Bei. Moreover, our casualties were quite heavy.”
As Cao Cao spoke, he looked at Cao Chun, one of the commanders of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry.
Cao Chun's head was lowered, and the expression on his face could not be seen.
"Raise your head!" Cao Cao squinted at Cao Chun.
"Prime minister, it's this subordinate's fault, please punish me!”Cao Chun's face was filled with guilt.
Cao Chun had never expected that Liu Bei's subordinate would still be able to fight his way out of the encirclement of hundreds of tiger cavalry yesterday.
In the end, he only found the warhorse of the person called Zhao Yun.
However, they did not find Zhao Yun's corpse.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Chun and said," You said that a person called Zhao Yun ambushed us yesterday. This person's martial arts are extremely high. He killed hundreds of people and heavily injured hundreds of Tiger Leopard Cavalry with just a dozen of them?"”
Cao Cao expressed his doubts.
"Prime Minister, this general doesn't dare to lie. This person's martial arts skills are indeed outstanding, and I'm afraid he's no less brave than Lu Bu!”Cao Chun explained.
"What? You said that there was someone under Liu Bei who was as brave as Lu Bu?”Cao Cao raised his voice.
One had to know that Liu Bei already had Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the others under him.
Why did Zhao Yun suddenly appear under his command?
Why did Liu Bei have so many powerful generals under him?
Cao Cao calculated in his heart.
"Have any of you heard of this person?”Cao Cao looked at the people sitting down.
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it.
"A nobody is actually so brave. Liu Bei, good luck!”Cao Cao felt a little uncomfortable.
Why was he not as lucky as Liu Bei?
Xun Rong, who was dressed in a scholar's green robe and had a younger face, stepped forward.""My lord, the Battle of Changban Slope has ended. The fault is not with General Zihe. Now, it is better to forget about Jingzhou as soon as possible.”
Hearing Xun Rong's words, Cao Cao glared at Cao Chun and waved his hand.
"That's right, Gongda is right. If Gongda has any opinions, you can say it first!”Cao Cao looked at Xun Rong.
Xun Rong and Xun Yu were of the same clan, both from the Xun family of Yingchuan. They were first-class aristocratic families that produced many talents.
"My lord, now that Liu Bei has escaped, we should be wary of Liu Bei and Liu Qi meeting up. If the two of them meet up and Liu Qi decides to go against my lord again, then it will be difficult to go to Jingzhou!”Xun You said.
Cao Cao did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and the others.
"My lord, I agree with Gongda. We should immediately head to Xiangyang to take Liu Qi and the Jingzhou army!”Cheng Yu said.
"My lord, what the two of you said is exactly what I said. The importance of Jingzhou is not something that Liu Bei can compare to. As long as my lord takes Jingzhou, where can Liu Bei hide? It's just a stray dog. It's not worth worrying about!”
Chen Qun stepped forward and said.
Chen Qun is the son of the Chen family in Yingchuan.
The Chen family of Yingchuan had the same name as the Xun family of Yingchuan where Xun Yu was from.
The Chen clan's ancestor, Chen, and Xun Shu of the Xun clan, who was also the father of the eight dragons of the Xun clan, were both the four elders of Yingchuan.
The influence of the Chen family in Yingchuan was no less than that of the Xun family.
Chen Qun's wife was Xun Yu's daughter, and the two clans were inextricably linked.
Otherwise, how could Chen Qun be in Cao Cao's tent at such a young age?
If it was in the past, Cao Cao would have agreed to take Xiangyang first.
But today, Cao Cao did not agree.
Cao Cao turned his gaze to Jia Xu, who remained silent.
"Wenhe, what do you think of this matter?" Cao Cao asked.
