Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 550 I only need two thousand soldiers
"Brother Shuren, I detected that boy Zhou Yu, and sent two groups of troops to our food road to intercept our army's food delivery. It seems that the whole way is going to Jiangdong, and it should be to inform Sun Quan!"

Cao Ren analyzed from the side.

Cao Su nodded and looked at Cao Ren with admiration!
"Not bad, Brother Ren, you are becoming more and more like a general now!"

Cao Ren was startled, then rubbed his head and laughed:
"That's all taught by you, brother, otherwise I wouldn't have thought about these questions before! Hehehe..."

As he spoke, his face blushed and he became embarrassed!

It seems that it is a great honor to be praised by Cao Su!

Seeing this, Cao Su smiled, and then said:
"Brother Zixiao, send troops!"

"what?"

Cao Ren was taken aback when he heard this, "Send...send troops? Go...where?"

Cao Su said as a matter of course:
"Of course to meet Zhou Yu!"

Cao Ren's face turned pale, "But...but he has asked Jiangdong for help. If there is no accident, Sun Quan's reinforcements will arrive within ten days. When the time comes, we will be attacked from both sides. We have no food. How should we fight?"

Cao Su shrugged, "Brother Zixiao, you only need to lead troops to fight, and I can handle the rest!"

Hearing this, Cao Ren had no choice but to nod his head, "Okay, then... how many troops do you plan to bring this time?"

Cao Su raised two fingers!
"20?"

Cao Ren pondered after hearing this, "50 is too much, 20 is too little, [-] is enough to annihilate the main force of Jiangdong, but there is still a food problem..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Su interrupted him:
"It's two thousand, just need the current Longtan army to follow me!"

"what?"

Cao Ren suddenly turned pale with shock, "Two thousand? Are you kidding me, brother? Zhou Yu alone has more than 1 people, and we are still fighting without food. Once Sun Quan comes to support from the rear, at least it will not be less than 2000. You Didn’t these [-] people die?”

Cao Su patted him on the shoulder to comfort him and said:

"First, I'm not going to die, I'm going to take revenge. Second, the fewer and more skilled people in this battle, the better. If there are too many people, it will hinder you. Third, once Jingzhou is lost, the morale of the army will be unstable. Brother Zixiao, you still have to fight!" Go to stabilize the morale of the army and bring them back to Xuchang safely, otherwise the victory in the Battle of Chibi will be meaningless!"

Seeing that Cao Su was so determined, Cao Ren looked at him deeply for a long time, and finally said:

"I know, brother Shuren, don't force yourself no matter what. Although Zhou Yu was pale in the battle of Chibi, he is not mediocre. You must not underestimate the enemy!"

Cao Su laughed, "Haha, brother Zixiao, thank you for reminding me, I will remember it!"

Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head helplessly and said:
"Forget it, anyway, since you were a child, you have never made people feel at ease. Even the eldest brother can't control you, let alone me!"

"Eh! How can you say that?"

Cao Su gave a look that you understand, and said with a smile:
"I'm the youngest in this generation, you big brothers can't let me go?"

"You stinky boy!"

Cao Ren gave Cao Su a hammer, and the worry on his face had dissipated, and he smiled a little and said:
"Tell my brother if you have any difficulties, no matter what, I will support your decision!"

Cao Su nodded, and then watched Cao Ren leave!

Gradually, the smile on his face faded, and he called out faintly!
"Zixiu!"

"My nephew is here!"

Cao Ang came from behind at this time!
"I order you to immediately go to the Longtan Army to select two thousand soldiers. They must be physically strong, not too tall, and strong in execution!"

"Yes!"

Cao Ang just heard that Cao Su only selected 2000 people, and he was already shocked by his decision!
When facing the Wuhuan army of 20, Shang still used 1!

Now facing the more powerful Jiangdong soldiers, only 2000 people are used?
What's the trouble?
The stronger the enemy, the less troops he will use?

Don't play like this?
But even so, he still bit the bullet and agreed!

For no reason, I just have an inexplicable trust in Cao Su!

He knew that Cao Su would not joke about their lives, especially the soldiers who had followed him for so many years!
Soon, under the assembly of Cao Ang, [-] soldiers of the Longtan Army were assembled. Cao Su only briefly explained a few words, and then asked them to go to the supply troops to bring the traps and crossbows they had made before. , and off we go!
……

A few days later, Cao Cao has already returned to Nanjun, because it is only a temporary station, so the conditions are very firm!
After resting for a day and a night, Cao Cao only ate some dry food from morning to night, and he couldn't even eat meat!

But this is very satisfying for Cao Cao who has been hungry for so many days!
However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, news came that Cao Su had brought two thousand soldiers to intercept Zhou Yu!
"What did you say? My virtuous brother only brought two thousand soldiers and horses? He... is he looking for death?"

Cao Cao stared wide-eyed at the little soldier who came to deliver the letter in front of him, his face was full of deep anger!
"Yes, Prime Minister, both General Cao Ren and Guo Junshi persuaded the second lord, but the second lord insisted on doing so. We...we can't stop it!"

Cao Cao frowned suddenly, waved his hand and said:

"Go down! I'm upset just looking at you!"

The little soldier was relieved, knelt down to thank him a few times, and then fled in a hurry!

Cao Cao paced back and forth a few times, and finally couldn't hold back and said:

"Wen Ruo!"

"exist!"

Xun Yu walked out from the crowd at this time!
"Immediately draw [-] troops from the camp to support Cao Su, hurry up!"

After hearing this, Xun Yu hesitated and said:

"My lord, I think it's better to stay where you are!"

Cao Cao glared at him, "What? Are you going to be confused with Cao Ren and the others? Two thousand soldiers and horses, what does he think about going against Zhou Yu's ten thousand cavalry? What's more, there are reinforcements from Sun Quan behind!"

Xun Yu seemed calmer than him, and said:
"My lord, I feel that since the second lord did this, there must be a reason for doing so, not to mention that there are less than [-] soldiers in this position. If you send [-] soldiers, if Zhou Yu turns around again and fights over , how do we deal with it?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao sank, his brows twisted into the word Chuan!
"But I can't just ignore my virtuous brother in danger!"

Although this dog is often not a son of man, and often vomits blood from his anger, but fortunately he is useful!

If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that this battle of Chibi would have been beaten back to before liberation overnight!

However, in the eyes of others, Cao Cao's reaction was a brother's concern for his younger brother, which immediately moved many people!

And Xun Yu even said:
"My lord, I still feel that we should go back to Xuchang first. As for the second lord, General Cao Ren is still in charge, so there must be no trouble!"

Cao Cao hesitated for a long time after hearing this, and finally sighed and said:

"Oh! That's the only way!"
