Gan Ning shook his head."The soldiers of the north are not used to water warfare, and the people of Jingzhou are not loyal to Cao Cao.”
"It's because of the general trend."
"As far as I know, Sun Quan of River East is quite ambitious and will not be controlled by others.”
"At that time, the Sun family will use all of Wu to fight against the soldiers of Jingzhou who have yet to surrender. In addition, the Cao army will not have a navy general…"
"How can the Jiangdong Army not win?”
Gan Ning believed that the south had a better chance of winning this war.
"Who said Cao Cao's army would fight a general without water?" Cao Yu laughed.”
"Cai Mao and Zhang Yun?" Gan Ning asked.”
It wasn't that Gan Ning looked down on them.
It was because these two people had been corrupted by wealth for more than 20 years. Their ability to command the navy had long fallen behind.
Before Liu Biao died, Gan Ning had been under Huang Zu.
At that time, he had seen how unbearable the Jing state navy was.
If Huang Zu had given Gan Ning command of the navy, he would have already attacked the other side of the Yangtze River.
When Sun Ce had just died and Sun Quan had just ascended the throne, the Jiangdong Army was in turmoil.
If Huang Zu listened to Gan Ning's suggestion and killed his way across the river, he could take over a county or even Jianye!
He might even have the chance to wipe out River East.
"No."
Cao Yu shook his head.
"The Cao army's water battle commander is Xing Ba!”
he said firmly.
Back then, Cao Yu had stopped Gan Ning from defecting to the Sun family because of this.
If Gan Ning had been the commander of the navy in the Battle of Red Cliff, would the outcome have been reversed?
Would Cao Cao be able to unify the Han Region in his lifetime?
Would the Sima Clan not seize power?
The premise that history could not be assumed was that there were no transmigrators.
However, Cao Yu had come to the end of the Han Dynasty. He always wanted to do something to change the tragedy of the Five Lakes.
That period of history was too tragic for the Han people.
Nearly a third of the Han people had died!
Gan Ning was flabbergasted.
After a while.
Gan Ning shook his head.
"I'm afraid not."
He wanted to but was powerless.
Even though Cao Cao only recommended talents, Gan Ning still lacked a recommendation.
Moreover, Gan Ning was a low-level general of the Jingzhou Army.
The entire Jingzhou Army had just surrendered, and it would be extremely difficult to meet Cao Cao.
"No one recommended him."
Gan Ning gulped down a glass of wine, a bitter expression on his face.
Cao Yu placed a jade pendant on the table and told Gan Ning everything that had happened.
Gan Ning was shocked.
"A Xiahou clan general brought you here to ask for wine?”
Gan Ning knew of the relationship between Cao Cao and the Xiahou clan.
What surprised him even more was the name that the Xiahou general gave Cao Yu.
Zixiu!
That was the name of Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang!
This meant that this person and Cao Cao were extremely close and called each other brothers.
"That's right." Cao Yu nodded.
Gan Ning couldn't suppress his joy after Cao Yu confirmed it.
"Then what are we waiting for?"
Gan Ning stood up.
"Let's take the jade pendant and go straight to the central army tent. I recommend myself to Prime Minister Cao!”
Unlike the excited Gan Ning, Cao Yu remained unmoved.
"Not yet. The best time is after Cai Mao and Zhang Yun die.”
Cao Yu muttered.
If he remembered correctly, Cai and Zhang didn't have long to live.
When the navy lacked manpower, the land generals Mao Jie and Yu Jin would take over.
In a hurry, the northern army was not in command and was attacked by fire.
If Cai and Zhang were still here, even if the Cao army was defeated on the Yangtze River, they would not have been defeated so thoroughly.
Fortunately, in the Battle of Red Cliff, most of the people who died were Jingzhou soldiers who surrendered. Cao Cao's northern army did not suffer too many losses.
That was why Cao Cao could still laugh out loud when he was running away from Huarong Road.
"How can these two die?"
Gan Ning asked in shock.
Now that the northern army was lacking a navy commander, how could Cao Cao kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun so easily?
"You will die."
Cao Yu laughed.
"Xing Ba, go back and wait for the news.”
He escorted Gan Ning out of the hospital.
Gan Ning left with a puzzled expression.
……
On the other side.
Cao Cao returned to Jiangling City.
Xu Chu, who was beside him, finally could not help but ask.
"Why did the Prime Minister use the Eldest Young Master's name to crown this person?”
Xu Chu had followed Cao Cao for many years and knew how important Cao Ang was to him.
As the eldest son of the Prime Minister, Cao Ang had been placed with high hopes since he was young. Under painstaking nurturing, he was well-versed in military and political affairs.
If not for the incident eleven years ago, the Eldest Young Master would not have died so tragically.
Cao Cao frowned and said,"This person's figure is the same as Zi Xiu's!"”
His words were shocking!
No one was more familiar with Cao Ang than Cao Cao.
Even though the voice was different, Cao Cao felt as if he was looking at Cao Ang from the past.
For eleven years, Cao Cao had dreamed of his eldest son Cao Ang countless times.
Previously, in the house, Cao Cao would always subconsciously substitute Cao Yu into Cao Ang's image.
He actually found that the two were extremely compatible!
With the other party's consent, Cao Cao gave Cao Yu a nickname.
Xu Chu's eyes widened.
"Don't make this matter public."
Cao Cao reminded Xu Chu.
There were a total of 20 jars of white wine in the cart, and Cao Cao took away 19 jars.
The remaining jar was reserved for Xu Chu as hush money.
That night.
Cao Cao tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
"If Zixiu was still here, how good would that be?”
He sighed.
After a while, Cao Cao stood up, took his wine and walked out of the room.
The moon was high in the sky.
After drinking two cups of wine, Cao Cao tried his best to recall the characteristics of his eldest son.
"There are seven small red dots on Zixiu's left arm, shaped like the Big Dipper.”
Cao Yu was wearing a long robe during the day, so Cao Cao couldn't see his left arm.
"Disfigured by fire…"
When Zhang Xiu surrendered and rebelled, the chaotic battlefield was filled with flames.
"Men, summon Jia Xu…"
