Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu.
All the strategists and generals in the hall looked at Xu Chu.
Last night, Xu Chu's advice did not work. He rode a horse and left Fan City alone. He did not leave in a fit of anger.
Instead, he went to find Cai Mao.
Because only the Jing State Navy could compete with the Jiangdong Navy.
As for the Jiangdong Navy, they had returned triumphantly from the river and were close to Cai Mao's camp.
Looking for Cai Mao was the most suitable.
"Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang!" Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu seriously and said sincerely,"Fortunately, General Xu Chu ran for me overnight, which prevented even greater losses! How fortunate!"
"At last night's banquet, I lost my mind after drinking. I didn't listen to General Xu Chu's advice.”
"In the battle last night, Xu Chu and the Jing State Navy contributed greatly! Loneliness should be rewarded according to merit!"
"Cai Mao!"
Cai Mao quickly bowed his hands and lowered his eyebrows.
Cao Cao said," I'll reward you with a thousand gold coins, a set of steel armor, and an increase of 300 households. You and Zhang Yun must continue to train the Shui Jing State Navy. You must not relax at all!"”
"In this battle, all the participants of the Jing State Navy will be rewarded!”
Cai Mao knelt down and thanked him." Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister. The 100,000 men of the Jingzhou Navy will fight to the death for you!" This battle is all thanks to Prime Minister's divine protection, Prime Minister's merits, and the people of Great Han…"
His habitual flattery began to erupt.
When Cao Cao heard this, he was annoyed, or even not disgusted.
However, Cai Mao had made a contribution today.
Last night's battle had already proven his talent in naval warfare. Even if he wasn't that amazing, he wasn't an idiot.
And now, he had already fallen out with Jiang Dong, and the Poyang Lake water stronghold that he wanted to support had been burned to ashes by the Jinfan bandits.
Therefore, he could only rely on Cai Mao now. At least after taking down River East, Cai Mao had to eat and drink well, give him a high position, and compensate him with a smile.
"Viceroy, you have shown your might on the river in this battle. You have to continue to work hard. When the Jiangdong Navy is completely wiped out, it will be the time for you to take off your armor and enter the court in purple!”
Before Cao Cao could finish, Cai Mao's body shook.
Taking off his armor, entering the court, wearing a purple robe…
This was a huge plan drawn by Cao Aman. With River East destroyed, the unification of Huaxia would be unstoppable.
At that time, he would naturally let Cai Mao enter the court, wear purple clothes, and be ranked among the officials!
This was not a mere official of the Jing Province, but an official of the thirteen provinces of the Great Han Dynasty!
"Cai Mao will go back and train the navy, waiting for the moment of the decisive battle with Jiangdong!”Cai Mao cupped his hands and left excitedly.
Cao Cao held Xu Chu's hand and led his strategists and generals back into the hall.
When the official meeting began, Boss Cao said indifferently,""Zhou Yu doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. How dare he ambush my Poyang Lake water bandits and Jiangxia City!”
"It caused our army to suffer heavy losses! Fortunately, General Xu Chu rode out of the city alone to seek reinforcements. In the battle on the river, Dongwu was almost completely wiped out!”
All the generals felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts. This Xu Chu had once again made a great contribution!
Xu Chu was capable of both literature and martial arts?
If Guo Jia did not die, Xu Chu would not appear…
They had originally looked down on Xu Chu, even though he only knew how to cut people.
Now, the distance between Xu Chu and them seemed to be getting further and further…
Then, Boss Cao's roar came from the hall again,"
"It's tolerable, but what can't be tolerated!"
"If I don't take revenge, it will be difficult to dispel the hatred in my heart!”
"I swear that I will flatten the East Wu and capture that Zhou Yu kid alive!!”
"All armies, start preparing for the war to destroy River East from today onwards!!!”
……
Jia Xu, Chen Qun, and the other strategists stood outside the main hall, silent.
In the Battle of Xinye, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were defeated.
Without wasting a single soldier, Jia Xu and the others believed that Zhou Yu would not dare to invade.
However, no one expected Zhou Yu to take such a risk.
At the banquet yesterday, when Xu Chu said that Zhou Yu might launch a sneak attack on Jiangxia, they were also worried. However, seeing that their lord was completely confident, they drank in peace.
All along, they had thought that the person behind Xu Chu was their lord.
However, he had miscalculated Zhou Yu's courage.
Jia Xu looked at Chen Qun beside him and said,""This time, we finally managed to turn the tables with General Xu Chu and kill Zhou Yu's spirit. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Chen Qun nodded, fully agreeing with Jia Xu's view.
However, Chen Qun was more curious about Xu Chu. How could he see through the fog repeatedly? Zhou Yu's sneak attack on Jiang Xia was something they did not dare to imagine.
However, Xu Chu had the foresight to go to the Jing State Navy camp alone and instruct Cai Mao to send troops to ambush Zhou Yu.
Whether it was the time or the location of the ambush, the points were calculated accurately.
Could it be that everyone was drunk and I was the only one awake?
"Wenhe, there are rumors in the army that General Xu Chu is the number one strategist under the lord. You and I have all become a foil to General Xu Chu…"
When Jia Xu heard Chen Qun's words, he was deeply impressed. Xu Chu's reputation was now about to stabilize his position as the Cao army's number one strategist.
Chen Qun continued," Wenhe, that day, you were the one who advised the Prime Minister and wrote a letter to Cai Mao to take Jiangxia without bloodshed. This was clearly your plan, Jia Wenhe. Why does everyone only remember Xu Chu's plan and not your plan, Jia Wenhe?”
"Everyone even credited Xu Chu for taking down Jiangxia without bloodshed?”
Jia Xu smiled and waved his hand.”
Jia Xu was originally a first-rate strategist. In everyone's view, it was a matter of course for Jia Xu to come up with a plan. It could not be more normal.
However, Tiger Addict was different. Tiger Addict Xu Chu had always been known for his fierceness. After Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shao of Hebei Province, Xu Chu had killed Xu You, the number one hero who had invaded Jizhou Province…
Although Xun Yu was behind this, Xu Chu had actually killed Xu You on the street. This was the ultimate foolishness.
If it was another Cao Cao general, he would not have done such a thing.
However, such a silly person could also offer suggestions. Regardless of whether the suggestions were outstanding or not, it was still fresh in people's minds.
On the other hand, the strategists who often came up with strategies were not remembered.
" When General Xu Chu comes out, we can ask him in private why he suddenly became so enlightened…" Chen Qun could not help but say.
"If you want to ask, go ahead. I don't care who the person behind General Xu Chu is…"
When Chen Qun heard Jia Xu's words, he also dispelled this thought.
If he couldn't get anything out of Zi Mao, Yin Chou, and got into trouble instead, it would be very bad.
……
After Chen Fan woke up, he stretched and walked out of the bedroom. Mei Zhen had already made porridge and some wild vegetables. The wild vegetables looked ordinary, but they tasted delicious.
The number of soldiers patrolling outside the courtyard had increased by a lot. Zhou Yu's sneak attack on Jiangxia and Gan Ning's sneak attack on the water stronghold of the new army at Poyang Lake had greatly impacted these soldiers.
Cao Cao's generals didn't dare to be careless and led their troops to patrol.
These soldiers were also discussing yesterday's battle. Fortunately, General Xu Chu had the foresight to go to the Jing State Navy to find Cai Mao and mobilize the Jing State Navy. Otherwise, who knew how heavy the losses would have been.
Chen Fan listened to the discussion and thought to himself,"" This time, Zhou Yu has suffered heavy losses. He will definitely ally with Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei has lost his troops, he still has Zhuge Liang, Guan Zhang, Mei Zhu, and Mi Fang under his command…"
Mi Zhu was a big merchant. By marrying his sister Mi Zhen to Liu Bei, he was giving Liu Bei his full support. It would not be long before Liu Bei gathered a force in River East.
However, if Liu Bei were to gather a force in Jiangdong, would Sun Quan be able to tolerate him?
That Sun Quan wasn't like Tao Qian or Liu Biao, who could tolerate a fierce tiger sleeping soundly beside his bed.
……
River East.
In Liu Bei's camp…
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were discussing how to borrow the power of River East.
The scout entered the tent and handed Liu Bei a report…
After Liu Bei opened it, his expression changed drastically. He then handed the information to Zhuge Liang.
When Zhuge Liang saw the contents of the report.
His expression changed.
It was written in the report that Lu Su had advised Sun Quan that Chen Fan, the former military advisor of Liu Bei, was a very talented person. He would mobilize all his forces to find Chen Fan. After finding Chen Fan, Lu Su was willing to give up the position of military advisor to Chen Fan and become Chen Fan's assistant.
This information was like a bolt from the blue.
" My lord, if Chen Fan is found by the River East and becomes the Military Advisor, I'm afraid…"
Zhuge Liang did not continue.
If Chen Fan became the military advisor of the River East, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang would have no place to stand!
Liu Bei nodded, understanding what Zhuge Liang meant.
If he had found Chen Fan before Jiang Dong, it would have been fine if he knew how to advance and retreat, but if he didn't, Chen Fan would have died of illness!
He couldn't let Chen Fan become the military advisor of River East.
……
After Zhuge Liang had given his instructions, he left the camp with his two errand boys and headed straight for the River East water village.
At this moment, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were already brothers in distress.
Zhou Yu also lost to Xu Chu.
However, this time, Zhuge Liang did not have the intention to watch the show. He went to the water stronghold to discuss the great cause of resisting Cao Cao.
If Jiang Dong could not stop Cao Cao.
The grand blueprint of dividing the world into three parts would become a dream.
