In the main tent, there was complete silence. Only Xu Chu's eloquence could be heard!
"Liu Bei will definitely go to Jiangxia, and Liu Qi will definitely die. A mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and a city cannot tolerate two masters. If Liu Qi is still alive, then he should listen to Liu Bei, or Liu Qi!”
"Jiangxia has half of Jingzhou's money and food. If Liu Bei enters Jiangxia, he will form a corner with Sun Quan, which will be very disadvantageous to our army!”
Cao Cao sat in the main tent. He did not expect Xu Chu to have such skills.
Zhang Liao, Xiahou Dun, and the others, who originally wanted to see Xu Chu make a fool of himself, all fell silent.
What Xu Chu was thinking was something that they had never considered.
They had always thought that Liu Bei would go to Fan City.
However, after hearing Xu Chu's words, they suddenly realized that they were too shallow.
Why didn't she see that Xu Chu knew military strategy in the past?
At this moment, in the central army tent, Xu Chu did not know what to say after shaking off the ink in his stomach.
Xu Chu was stupid and didn't know much about military strategy, but that didn't mean he was brainless. After he had learned everything from Chen Fan, he saw Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and the others eager to try.
He knew that he should stop while he was ahead. If these guys asked any other questions, he would not be able to answer them.
When Xu Chu thought of this, he cupped his hands and said,"My lord, Xu Chu only knows these things. Please make a decision!"”
After saying this, he returned to the imperial court. He did not care about the surprised gazes of the others. From now on, he would keep his mouth shut.
He didn't want to be stumped by these people and lose face instead!
When the generals and strategists saw Xu Chu return to Cao Cao's side and continue to be his guard, they held their breaths even if they wanted to ask Xu Chu.
Everyone was recalling what Xu Chu had said just now.
Xu Chu's words were true. If they followed Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's strategy, going to Jiangxia would be the best choice.
Just as Xu Chu had said, once the entire Jingzhou surrendered, Fancheng, which was in the hands of Liu Zong and the Jingzhou nobles, would be shut out of Liu Bei. They might even capture Liu Bei and offer him to the Prime Minister.
Liu Bei could only go to Jiangxia!
Xu Chu's words woke him up from his dream!
Cao Cao looked at the generals and civil officials.”
For a moment, the tent was completely silent.
"Speak!"
Cheng Yu stood up." Reporting to the Prime Minister, I agree with what Xu Chu said. Jingzhou will surrender, and Fancheng will definitely surrender. Liu Bei can only go to Jiangxia. As for the people of Xinye, you don't have to worry. You only need to send 50,000 cavalry to catch up to Liu Bei. You just need to delay Liu Bei for now!”
"We need to cross the river to reach Jiangxia. Just as Xu Chu said, we should ambush them on the river bank. If Liu Qi leads a ship here, kill Liu Qi and take Jiangxia!”
"First take Jiang Xia, then take Liu Bei!"
When Jia Xu heard Cheng Yu's words, he stood up and said,"" Prime Minister, you can also write a letter and promise Cai Mao the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Jingzhou Navy. You can order him to lead 100,000 Jingzhou Navy to attack Jiangxia. Prime Minister, you can take Jiangxia without expending a single soldier…"
When Cao Cao heard Jia Xu's words, he slammed the table and stood up,""Good!"
"Li Dian, Yu Jin, Cao Ren, Zhang He, Xiahou Yuan, listen up!”
"Your subject is here!"
"I order you to lead 50,000 cavalry to pursue Liu Bei, delay him, and stop him from going to Jiangxia!”
"Here!"
Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu and said,"Write a letter and give it to Cai Mao!"”
"It's the Prime Minister."
Jia Xu immediately wrote a letter, sealed it with the Prime Minister's seal, and ordered someone to send it to Cai Mao.
……
The general who had led the general went to mobilize the troops. The general who had not been assigned a mission seemed a little disappointed.
Capturing Liu Bei was much more meritorious than taking down a city.
The generals and strategists all had their own duties.
When Zhang Liang, Xiahou Dun, and the others left the tent, they took a deep look at Xu Chu, who was beside Cao Cao. They were a little suspicious…
Since when did Tiger Addict use the art of war?
After the generals left, Cao Cao patted Xu Chu's armor.
"Zhongkang, good job! You should go rest too."
After Xu Chu received Cao Cao's praise, he was so happy that his nose was bubbling.
Many generals led their troops to chase after Liu Bei. The other generals had also left, leaving only Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and a group of strategists. Cao Cao wanted to discuss with them the strategy to attack Jiangdong after taking Jingzhou.
After Xu Chu left the main tent, he was in high spirits.
He had surprised everyone in the central army tent today. He knew that Zhang Liao and the others had always looked down on him, even though he led the Tiger Warriors and protected the safety of his lord.
However, he had never led an army independently and made contributions.
Xu Chu came to Chen Fan's place again and was extremely excited."Sir, as you expected, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are indeed heading to Jiangxia.”
Chen Fan was taking a nap after eating the wine and meat. When he saw Xu Chu, he turned around.
Xu Chu did not mind and sat down casually."There are some things that I'm still rather confused about.”
"What's the problem?"
Chen Fan yawned and asked with his back to Xu Chu.
"Jia Xu told my lord that if he wrote a letter to Cai Mao, he would be able to recover Jiangxia without expending a single soldier. This seems unlikely, but my lord is very happy.”
Chen Fan burped and reeked of alcohol.
"Before Cai Mao, the navy of Jing State was in the hands of Huang Zu. As the governor of Jiangxia, Huang Zu guarded Jiangxia and defended Jiangdong.”
"Half of Jingzhou's money, grain, ships, bows, and crossbows are stored in Jiangxia.”
"Patriarch Huang was killed by Gan Ning not long ago.”
"Cai Mao is Liu Biao's brother-in-law and controls the Jing state navy in place of Huang Zu.”
"Now that Liu Biao is dead and Cai Mao is the Jing State Navy Commander-in-Chief, he is heading to Jiangxia now.”
"Liu Qi, child!"
"The aristocratic families of Jingzhou can make Liu Biao a figurehead, let alone a child?”
Xu Chu finally understood the logic behind it.
"I see."
Originally, Jiangxia was guarded by Governor Huang Zu. However, two months ago, Huang Zu was killed by Sun Quan, and Jiangxia's defenses were in disarray…
At this time, Cai Mao led his army to attack, and he didn't even need to use a single soldier to make the Jiangxia soldiers change sides.
Xu Chu asked Chen Fan some more questions.
Chen Fan started snoring and no matter how Xu Chu pushed him, he couldn't wake him up.
……
On the way to Jiangxia, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang could hardly believe their ears as they listened to the soldier's report.
"What did you say? The person who saw through my plan was Xu Chu?" Zhuge Liang's expression was extremely ugly.
Zhuge Liang knew very well who Xu Chu was.
He was a boor!
Even Cao Cao couldn't see through Xinye's fire attack, so how could it be seen through by a boorish man?
"Impossible, impossible. How could Xu Chu see through my scheme?”
Zhuge Liang waved his hands, but the soldier reported truthfully,""Military Advisor, it was indeed Xu Chu who saw through Military Advisor's plan. All of Military Advisor's plans were exposed.”
Zhuge Liang's body shook violently and his vision turned black.
His scheme had been seen through by Xu Chu…
Seeing this, Liu Bei consoled him." Advisor, don't worry. Cao Ren has suffered heavy losses this time. Cao Cao is busy cleaning up Jingzhou. We should hurry to Jiangxia."”
"Yes, we have to speed up. My lord has placed soldiers among the starving people to wait for the opportunity to counterattack.”
Zhuge Liang was sure that no one in Cao Cao's camp would be able to see through his plan again.
With the Xinye people as a barrier to stop Cao Cao's pursuers, Liu Bei's army quickly headed for Jiangxia.
Could Xu Chu see through Zhuge Liang's scheme?
Liu Bei did not believe it.
He had once lived in Xuchang for two years and often saw Xu Chu. He was an idiot who did not know how to use his brain and only knew how to act recklessly.
Just as Liu Bei was wondering who in Cao Cao's camp would be able to see through the military counselor's plan, a scout galloped to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.
"My lord! Military Advisor! Cao Cao has sent 50,000 light cavalry to attack. My lord has already made a decision!”
"Fifty thousand cavalrymen…"
Liu Bei's face turned green.
Although he was prepared to be chased by Cao Cao, he was still terrified when he heard the 50,000 cavalry chasing after him!
All of his soldiers and horses added together were only fifty thousand, and he had less than a thousand cavalrymen. The rest were infantry…
The difference in strength between the two was too great.
" My lord, quickly mount the horse. We'll go first and let the commoners delay Cao Cao's cavalry…"
Zhuge Liang urged them. There was no time for them to think anymore. They had to make a decision as soon as possible!
