"Sikong, the enemy is outnumbered. It's better to guard Wan City first and find a good opportunity to send out a surprise attack.”
Guo Jia spoke up again, urging for the city to be defended.
"I don't know how to write the word guard!"
Cao Shuo waved his hand in disdain and said sternly,""I want to destroy these thirty thousand Jing state soldiers first, then break through Xinye and march to the Han River in one go!”
The arrogant words came out.
The generals and advisors all sucked in a cold breath.
Destroying nearly twice the number of enemies in Jingzhou was already a huge appetite.
He actually wanted to swallow Xinye, attack the Han River, and attack Liu Biao's house.
What an arrogant tone!
Guo Jia was secretly amazed and pondered how to dissuade him.
Cao Shuo waved his hand and shouted in a domineering manner," I'll say it again. I've made up my mind. You just have to follow my orders. Don't try to persuade me!"”
Guo Jia's body trembled, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
The other strategists and generals did not dare to persuade him.
The next day, Cao Shuo led the Qi army south from Wancheng to meet Cai Mao.
…
Forty miles south of Wancheng.
Jingzhou Army Camp, Middle Army Tent.
"Cao Shuo, this brat, is really bold. He actually dared to leave the city to meet the enemy!”
Cai Mao looked at the information in his hands and cursed.
Cai He snorted coldly." This kid is overestimating himself. Brother, let's annihilate him in one fell swoop and recapture Wan City."”
Killing intent flashed in Cai Mao's eyes.
At this moment.
A guard came to report that a person outside the tent called Jia Xu wanted to see him.
"Jia Wenhe?"
Cai Mao's eyes lit up as he shouted,"Please come in."”
After a while, the curtain was lifted, and a scholar with white hair and beard entered.
"This old man is Jia Xu. Greetings, General Cai.”
Jia Xu stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
Cai Mao quickly supported him and said happily,"Mister Wen He, you're actually still alive?"”
"General Zhang didn't listen to this old man's advice and insisted on leaving the city to fight with Cao Shuo.”
"Before Wan City fell, I retreated first and luckily escaped.”
"This old man wanted to go south to see Liu Jingzhou, but I didn't expect to meet General Cai here.”
Jia Xu shook his head and sighed as he recounted the entire process.
"Mister Wen He is extremely intelligent and cunning. If my lord can get Mister's assistance, it will be like adding wings to a tiger!”
Cai Mao's face was filled with joy as he invited Jia Xu to his seat and ordered the soldiers to serve tea.
The host and guest sat down.
"I heard that Cao Shuo has led his army south and wants to fight you, General. How do you plan to deal with him?" Jia Xu asked.”
"He left the city south, just as I wanted!”
Cai Mao took a sip of wine, and a proud expression appeared on his face.
"I just happened to be able to defeat those 20,000 Cao troops in one fell swoop and take back Wan City.”
"In that case, General Cai is determined to get it?”
Jia Xu's eyes turned slightly, with a different meaning.
Cai Mao could hear the hidden meaning in his words and asked,""What, could it be that Mister Wen He thinks that this general isn't a match for that brat?”
"No."
"General Cai has been through many battles and is a veteran general of a generation. That Cao Shuo is a newborn calf, how can he be compared to you in terms of general talent?”
Jia Xu first flattered, then changed the topic,"
"Although that Cao Shuo has no experience in commanding troops, the Cao army is filled with elite soldiers. If we were to face them head-on, even if the general could win, it would probably be a tragic victory.”
Cai Mao's expression changed, and the arrogance on his face faded slightly.
"What Wen He said is not without reason. However, if we don't fight face to face, how can I win?”
Cai Mao frowned.
Jia Xu twirled his white beard and said with a smile,"This old man has a plan that can ensure that the general can injure Cao Shuo without any effort.”
Cai Mao's spirits were lifted and he quickly asked Jia Xu what he had planned.
Jia Xu was neither hurried nor slow as he explained his plan.
When Cai Mao heard this, he clicked his tongue in praise." Mister Wen He is indeed a poison warrior. This plan is truly vicious."”
The title "Poison Warrior" was not a good name, Jia Xu could not help but feel awkward.
"That Cao Shuo was brutal and destroyed Zhang Xiu's entire family. Mister's plan is to avenge his former master, fighting poison with poison!”
Cai Mao saw that Jia Xu was embarrassed and took the opportunity to step down.
"General Zhang's family was slaughtered by Cao Shuo. Although this old man's plan is vicious, it does have the intention of avenging General Zhang.”
Jia Xu took advantage of the situation.
"Alright, I'll use Mister's plan."
Cai Mao slammed the table and stood up, shouting," Pass down my order. All the troops are to break camp immediately. Throw away your helmets and armor along the way, and retreat all the way to Bowang Slope!"”
That night, 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers marched south. Countless military supplies were abandoned, and they retreated southward.
…
Three days later.
South of Wancheng, Bowang Slope.
On the hillside, Cai Mao stood proudly with his sword in his hand, overlooking the north.
Under the illumination of the bloody sun, the war banner rolled south.
"General Cai," he shouted,"Cao Shuo is leading twenty thousand Cao troops and is less than seven li from Bowang Slope.”
"Good! Very good!"
Cai Mao's gaze drifted to Jia Xu beside him,"
"Mister's predictions are godly. That Cao Shuo really doesn't know how to use troops and fell into Mister's trap.”
Jia Xu stroked his beard and laughed coldly." This person has extraordinary talent. He will definitely become a great man in time. Unfortunately, he is young and arrogant. When he saw our army throw away their armor, he naturally underestimated the enemy and chased after them.”
Cai Mao laughed and shouted," Tell all the battalions to get ready. If you see my flag raised, you will immediately set Bowang on fire!"”
As the order was passed down, the Jing State soldiers hidden in the dense forest lit up their torches and prepared for a fire attack.
Cai Mao had a determined look on his face as he continued to look north, waiting for Cao Shuo to fall into his trap.
