I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 20 The child is old enough to start his own business.

The next day, noon.

At the ferry of the Yellow River, the large tent of the Chinese army.

"General Su, the prime minister has arrived." Qin Qi, the guard of the Yellow River, came to report.

Cao Cao is here?

Now that Cao Cao is here, Su Ming has to go out to meet him!

Although he is not interested in this cheap old man, Su Ming has something to ask for now.

Su Ming can only use his skills by finding a place near the water and training the water army.

This has to be discussed with Cao Cao, so that we can make a county guard who relies on water.

If there is something to ask, Su Ming must come to the camp to meet Cao Cao.

Su Ming came to wait outside the camp, and soon saw Cao Cao's army approaching.

Behind Cao Cao are two generals with big arms and round waists.

Su Ming knew these two people, they were the two generals Cao Ren and Cao Hong.

"Good boy, good job!" Cao Hong came up and punched Su Ming in the chest first.

Cao Cao got off his horse and said to Su Ming, "Boy, you did a good job, walk with me."

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao signaled the rest of the people not to follow, and walked towards the edge of the Yellow River on his own.

Seeing this, Su Ming hurriedly followed.

Cao Cao and Su Ming walked along the Yellow River, and in front of them was the mighty Yellow River.

After a long time, Cao Cao took the initiative to say: "I am sorry for your mother."

When Cao Cao said this suddenly, it was a bit unexpected for Su Ming.

He would rather let the people of the world bear me than Cao Cao!

It was really unexpected for him to say sorry three words on his own initiative.

After being stunned for a moment, Su Ming said: "The past is all in the past."

"People can't always live in the past, they have to look forward, don't they?"

Su Ming said it so frankly, it seemed that he was more open than Cao Cao.

For a while, Cao Cao didn't know what to say.

"You did a good job this time, and you gave me a lot of face."

"I have always been rewarded for my achievements. What reward do you want?" Cao Cao asked Su Ming.

Originally, Su Ming was still thinking about how to ask Cao Cao to be an important official.

Never thought, Cao Cao mentioned this before he took the initiative to speak.

Since Cao Cao mentioned it, then Su Ming will not be polite.

"The child is old enough to have his own career!" Su Ming asked tentatively.

The meaning of Su Ming's words showed his own attitude.

That is, I have to have my own business, I can't stay in Xudu, stay in front of you.

This sentence showed Su Ming's attitude of wanting to go out to be an official.

Cao Cao was able to achieve this step and become a prince of one side, so he could understand the meaning of Su Ming's words.

"En!" Cao Cao responded softly.

Cao Cao replied lukewarmly, but Su Ming was a little confused about what he meant.

Did you agree, or did you not agree?

So, Su Ming continued to say tentatively: "I used to be an official in Jiangdong, and I was good at training water troops and building ships. Now the prime minister is short of a decent water army."

"I am willing to work for the prime minister in this regard."

After Su Ming finished speaking, he stopped talking and waited for Cao Cao to respond.

In fact, Su Ming really touched Cao Cao's heart.

Cao Cao really lacks a decent navy.

After Cao Cao took Xuzhou and Huainan, Cao Cao had three offensive plans.

The best policy is to take Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is rich, has a lot of food, and has a lot of people. Moreover, Liu Biao of Jingzhou is weak and incompetent, and he is a dog who keeps his success.

The middle policy is to take Jiangdong.

Sun Ce's new funeral, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, and his status was unstable. Under such circumstances, it was a good time to go to Jiangdong.

The worst strategy is to have a showdown with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao had just defeated Gongsun Zan and claimed to have an army of 70.

Although the 70 army is somewhat bragging, there is no doubt that Yuan Shao is the prince with the most soldiers and horses in the world today.

There is no doubt that for Cao Cao, going north to a showdown with Yuan Shao is the worst policy.

But why, instead of taking the best and middle strategies, Cao Cao chose this worst strategy?

In the final analysis, it is because Cao Cao has no navy.

Even, he couldn't even make up the ships to dispatch troops.

Whether it is the best strategy to take Jingzhou, or the middle strategy to take Jiangdong, there is a prerequisite.

That is, you have to have a navy capable of fighting.

However, Cao Cao's cavalry and infantry are very powerful, but there is no navy.

It was precisely because of this that he could only choose to fight Yuan Shao, the prince with the most power and the most soldiers.

At this time, Cao Cao was thinking in his heart, if my son had returned three or five years earlier, he would have trained a powerful navy for me.

Why should I take the risk of fighting Yuan Shao!

Take Jingzhou first, and then go to Jiangdong, and I, Cao Cao, will be invincible innately.

However, there are no ifs or assumptions in this world.

"I'll think about it overnight, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow." Cao Cao said to Su Ming after careful consideration.

"Okay!" Su Ming nodded and agreed.

After returning to the Yellow River camp, Cao Cao did not go to see Guan Yu.

After learning that Su Ming defeated Guan Yunchang with three moves, it seemed that Cao Cao was not so sure about Guan Yunchang.

Cao Cao still admires Guan Yunchang's character, but he doesn't think Guan Yunchang's bravery is rare in the world.

After Cao Cao settled down in the Yellow River camp, he called Guo Jia into the camp alone.

After Cao Cao told Guo Jia the whole story of today's conversation with Su Ming, he came to the map and asked him, "Feng Xiao, where do you want him to go?"

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao, who was looking at the Huainan area on the map.

This used to be Yuan Shu's territory, but after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu last year, it was already Cao Cao's territory.

Guo Jia came to the map, pointed to a location on the map, and said, "My lord, why don't you give this place to Mr. Su Ming."

Cao Cao: "??????"

Cao Cao was at a loss when he saw what Guo Jia was pointing at.

"Feng Xiao, is this Liu Biao's territory?" Cao Cao asked in confusion.

The place Guo Jia refers to is Jiangxia, and the governor of Jiangxia is Huang Zu, who nominally belongs to Liu Biao's subordinates in Jingzhou.

Obviously, Cao Cao is about to fight Yuan Shao, and he doesn't want to fight on two fronts and offend Liu Biao.

"My lord, do you know that killing chickens to scare monkeys?"

"Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Yuan Shao flirted with each other, and beating Huang Zu was just to scare the chickens and monkeys, and cut off Liu Biao's desire to have an affair with Yuan Shao." After saying this, Guo Jia paused, and continued: "Liu Biao of Jingzhou is old, but he is a dog who keeps things going."

"The territories of Jingzhou and Yuan Shao are completely separated by us. Liu Biao will never dare to fight with us. Unless Jiangdong is willing to help."

"However, if we fight against Huang Zu, Jiang Dong will never help Liu Biao to fight against us."

"Eating Jiangxia is equivalent to driving a nail in Jingzhou. When we defeat Yuan Shao, Mr. Su Ming will drill a navy army, and we will be able to take down the entire Jingzhou if we defend."
