Su Yi's eyes flashed with admiration.
This little general in front of him had the bearing of caring for the common people of the world, which was really rare.
Even if he lived in seclusion in the future, unless he went to Yizhou or River East, he would have to live in seclusion in the Cao family's territory.
In this way, it would be easier to do things if there was someone above.
Since that was the case, he might as well do this little general a favor and let him go to Cao Mengde and make a contribution.
Moreover, saving the people of Shouchun could be considered a good deed.
After thinking about it, he had an idea.
"General, there is no need to be so polite."
Su Yi helped him up and laughed at himself,"I'm just a country bumpkin. I'm not that great. Don't put such a big hat on me for saving the common people.”
"However…"
He changed the topic and said,"Since we are fated to meet, General, you must ask. I'll just say it randomly."”
"Please enlighten me, Young Master." Cao Ang was overjoyed.”
"But you have to promise me not to tell anyone else that I told you this plan, especially not to that Sikong Cao.”
Su Yi warned solemnly.
"Why?" Cao Ang was confused.
Su Yi sighed,"That Sikong Cao has always loved talents. What if he mistakenly thinks that I'm some great talent and insists on forcing me to become an official? That would be terrible!"”
Cao Ang understood, but he smiled." With your talent, you can become an official. Becoming a marquis or a prime minister is as easy as flipping your hand. You can also express your ambition. Why not?"”
"Don't, don't, don't!"
Su Yi waved his hand repeatedly."I have money and time, and I have a beautiful wife to accompany me. Isn't my carefree and happy life good? Why do I have to be an official or an official? I have to work from nine to five. I'm tired to death."”
Cao Ang was stunned. He couldn't help but look at his younger sister Cao Jie.
Cao Jie smiled bitterly and helplessly.
"This brother-in-law of mine treats fame and fortune like dirt. He really has the demeanor of a sage from ancient times. It seems that it will be difficult for father to invite him out of the mountain."
After sighing inwardly, Cao Ang could only cup his hands and say,"Young Master Su, don't worry. I won't say that this is Young Master's plan.”
Only then did Su Yi feel relieved. He took a sip of wine and spoke calmly.
"Actually, if you want to break through Shouchun quickly, the simplest and most violent way is to flood Shouchun.”
"By then, the flood will soak the city wall and we can use the catapults to bombard it.”
"If you are lucky, the Yuan army in the city will be soaked in the water and have a mental breakdown. You don't have to attack the city, you will open the city and surrender.”
Cao Ang's body shook, and his eyes suddenly became bright.
Su Yi continued,"However, since the general said that he wanted to save the people of Shouchun from fire and water, although the flood of Shouchun can break the city, it will also cause the people in the city to suffer. Although we can take down Shouchun in the future, we will definitely incur the hatred of the people towards Sikong Cao."”
Cao Ang frowned and nodded." Young Master Su is right. Is there no other plan besides flooding Shouchun?"”
"Don't be anxious. I'm not done yet.”
Su Yi took a sip of wine and unhurriedly said another plan.
Cao Ang's eyes were filled with excitement and suspicion. He couldn't help but ask,""Young Master Su, can you really fool the enemy in the city with this plan?”
"This plan isn't exquisite. It might be seen through by others, but the strategists around Yuan Shu are all mediocre. I don't think they will be able to see through it.”
Su Yi's eyes were filled with disdain.
Cao Ang suddenly understood.
"I've already explained this plan. As for which plan to use, it's up to you to decide.”
"But remember, don't say that I said it.”
Su Yi warned again.
Cao Ang's eyes were determined. He stood up and cupped his hands."Please rest assured, Young Master Su. I know what to do. Then I'll take my leave first.”
Cao Ang left his troops behind to guard the Su Residence.
Cao Ang traveled through the night, heading straight for Shouchun Camp.
…
North of Shouchun City, Cao Cao's camp.
Cao Pi followed the grain transport team and arrived at the frontline camp first.
Inside the tent.
"Pi 'er, why didn't you stay in Xu Capital? Why did you come to Shouchun?”
Cao Cao was surprised to see Cao Pi.
Cao Pi cupped his hands and said," Father, I was originally stationed in Xudu. However, when I heard that Shouchun could not be conquered for a long time, I took the initiative to follow the grain team here to share your worries.”
"It's rare for you to have such a heart.”
Cao Cao first nodded in approval, but then said,"However, I'm afraid that you won't be able to help with the siege even if you want to.”
"Father!"
"When I was in Xudu, I thought of a plan to quickly conquer Xudu. Perhaps it can help father," Cao Pi said seriously.”
Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
Xi Zhicai, Xiahou Yuan, Yue Jin and the other Cao Camp officials were also surprised.
"Pi 'er, what brilliant plan do you have?”
Cao Cao asked with interest.
Cao Pi cleared his throat and said loudly,""This plan is to dig the Huai River and flood Shouchun!”
As soon as he said that.
Everyone in the tent was shocked.
Cao Cao's spirit also shook, and a flash of understanding flashed across his face.
"No matter how strong Shouchun City is, as long as the water bubble stays on it for more than ten days and the catapults bombard it, the city walls will collapse.”
"Once the city wall collapses, our army will rush in. We won't have to worry about not being able to destroy Yuan Shu and take Shouchun!”
Cao Pi stood with his hands behind his back and analyzed the situation in a clear voice. His entire body was filled with confidence.
The generals were pleasantly surprised and started discussing.
"Sikong, Second Young Master's plan does have a possibility of defeating Shouchun."”
Xiahou Yuan said excitedly," Sikong, Zihuan has made a great contribution. What are we waiting for? Let's dig up the embankment and flood that bastard Yuan Shu!"”
All the generals were focused on breaking through the city and did not think too much about it. They all advocated adopting Cao Pi's plan.
Cao Pi stood with his hands behind his back, a smug smile on his face.
Cao Cao stroked his long beard and remained silent. There was a trace of worry in his eyes.
"I know Sikong has his concerns, but Second Young Master's plan is probably our only chance to quickly break through Shouchun.”
Xi Zhicai saw through Cao Cao's thoughts and sighed.
Cao Cao let out a long breath and slapped the table, ready to give the order.
"Father, if you want to break Shouchun, you don't have to drown it!”
A familiar voice sounded outside the tent.
Immediately after, Cao Ang lifted the curtain and strode in, appearing in front of Cao Cao.
Everyone was shocked and looked at Cao Ang.
Cao Pi looked back at his brother who had suddenly appeared and frowned.
