These days, Cao Cao's complexion was not good, because a great battle was about to begin.
Not long ago, news came from the River East. Zhuge Liang had challenged the Confucians with his words, Lu Zijing had resisted the opposition of the masses, and Zhuge Liang had incited Zhou Yu with his wisdom. These three powerful medicines had made Sun Quan determined to ally with Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao together.
After learning about the alliance between Liu Bei and Sun Quan, Cao Cao realized that Xiahou Dun's words were true!
Liu Bei had indeed raised his arm and summoned thousands of troops.
Sun Quan also allied with Liu Bei at this time.
If this was before, Cao Cao might have found Sun Quan's actions incomprehensible.
Even if Liu Bei raised his arm and called out, it would only be tens of thousands of troops.
Jiang Dong had 200,000!
But now, Cao Cao knew why Sun Quan would ally with Liu Bei.
Just as Xiahou Dun said,"
The enemy of an enemy was an ally!
Cao Cao was filled with regret. If he had listened to Xiahou Dun's suggestion earlier and allied with Sun Quan, he wouldn't be in this situation.
However, it was not too late to mend the fold.
Cao Cao sent a letter to Governor Zhou Yu and wrote on the cover: The prime minister of the Han Dynasty handed it over to the governor of the Zhou Dynasty to open it.
This was Cao Cao's plan.
Join forces with Zhou Yu!
He knew that Zhou Yu was once a general under Sun Ce. After Sun Ce died, he followed Sun Quan.
By doing this, he was trying to sow discord between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.
However…
What Cao Cao did not expect was that Zhou Yu was a ruthless person. When he saw the letter, he did not even read it and directly tore it apart. He even killed the messenger who sent the letter on the spot.
He also returned the head of the messenger to Cao Cao.
Since ancient times, when two armies fought, envoys were not killed.
Zhou Yu directly destroyed the book and killed the envoy. This was a show of strength!
At the same time, he was also expressing his loyalty to Sun Quan.
" Zhou Yu is truly a hero!"
Cao Cao was secretly impressed.
His heavy punch landed on Zhou Yu's body like it was hitting cotton.
Not only did it not hurt, but he did not even hear a sound.
Zhou Yu's plan was probably not inferior to his advisors.
Then, he closed the military book in his hand and carefully thought about his next step.
At this moment, a soldier came in.
"Report!"
Cao Cao raised his head slightly, his gaze sharp.
The soldier said," Reporting to the Prime Minister, Gan Ning is the vanguard of the Jiangdong Army, Han Dang is on the left wing, and Jiang Xin is on the right wing. Zhou Yu is leading his generals to support them from behind. They are preparing food at the fourth watch and setting sail at the fifth watch. They are marching towards Jingzhou with gongs and drums. I'm afraid they will reach the mouth of the three rivers tomorrow or the day after!”
"There's such a thing?"
Cao Cao's expression changed.
Actually, he had already guessed that after Zhou Yu destroyed the book and beheaded the envoy, he would have a battle with Sun Quan. However, he did not expect this battle to come so quickly.
Moreover, it was Sun Quan who took the lead.
This was something that Cao Cao did not expect.
"It must be Zhou Yu's scheme again!"
This time, the navy of River East had arrived so quickly and in time that even Cao Cao was not prepared and was caught off guard. The only person who could do this was Zhou Lang of River East!
Cao Cao picked up the military book again. His expression was calm, but his heart was surging. He said to himself, Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan has Zhou Yu, but who do I have?
In the past, he had schemed against Guo Jia.
And now, who else was more talented than Zhizuo?
No more!
No more!
Cao Cao shook his head and sighed.
Just as Cao Cao was sighing, a person suddenly barged into the tent. Cao Cao looked up and saw that this person was anxious, but his face was filled with excitement. His face was glowing with a bright light.
The man said," Prime Minister, I found it!”
"I finally found it!"
Cao Cao didn't understand. He also didn't know what made the usually calm and reserved Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe so excited. He immediately raised his eyes and spat out a few words.
"Wenhe, what did you find?"
Jia Xu was a little anxious now. This was a major matter that concerned the Cao camp. Now, the Prime Minister could actually sit so steadily as Mount Tai. He immediately said anxiously.
"The expert behind Xiahou Dun!"
Cao Cao was shocked, and even the fatigue on his body seemed to have completely disappeared. His eyes flickered as he stared at Jia Xu.
"Are you sure?"
Cao Cao was still thinking that Liu Bei had Zhuge Liang, and Sun Quan had Zhou Yu. Who else could he have?
Jia Xu nodded heavily.
"I'm sure! If you deceive me, you will die a horrible death!"
Cao Cao hurriedly put down the military book and stood up. He looked at Jia Xu with a serious expression, as if he had discovered a huge treasure.
"Where is this person?"
Cao Cao asked anxiously.
Jia Xu panted and said," Today, this person was touring Xiangyang with Xiahou Dun. He was accidentally captured by the Jingzhou soldiers, and Xiahou Dun lost his official hat and clothes because of him. The only person who could make Xiahou Dun do this is probably the expert behind him!”
Cao Cao nodded heavily.
Who could Xiahou Dun do this for?
Only the expert behind him!
Cao Cao walked around the desk and strode out of the tent.
"Wen He, quickly lead the way. Let's go see the expert!”
Jia Xu nodded, but as he nodded, he realized that Cao Cao's shoes were not worn…
This could not help but remind him of a scene from the past.
