Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 390 Chapter : Taking advantage of the situation? no!

Cao Cao has been feeling very depressed recently.

In fact, after careful calculation, the real loss of the whole straw boat borrowing arrows incident is not too big, but it is basically hanging on his head. Fazheng and Zhang He, both civil and military, can be called arms.

Liu Bei also suffered losses, but dozens of broken ships and a little-known deputy general Huo Jun were incomparable to him.

The most important thing is that Lin Yunwen said, "Wolong's clever plan to calm the world, he lost the warships and sent arrows." The morale of the entire military camp is now very low.

This matter was too fantasy from beginning to end. He, Lin Yunwen, was not a god, so the only reasonable explanation was that he, Zhuge Liang, had collaborated with the enemy?

Of course, Cao Cao also knew that Lin Mo's plan was hidden here. Although he was disgusted with the mysterious Zhuge Liang for causing such a crisis, he still went to the military camp to comfort and boost morale.

He went to comfort them, who would comfort him? Cao Cao in the Chinese army tent rubbed his temples and felt a severe pain in his head.

"Lord!"

Outside the tent, Cai Mao ran in quickly, "There was a civilian ship approaching outside the stronghold. The person who came did not tell me his identity but claimed that he had something important to see the lord. After the sergeant captured him, I saw it in person and found out that the person who came was actually the governor of Jiangxia. Son Huang She."

"Huang Zu's son?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.

Seeing Cai Mao nodding, he quickly asked: "Where are the people?"

"Just waiting outside the tent."

"Quick, bring it in!"

After Cai Mao went out, Cao Cao glanced at Xun You standing next to him, "What do you think?"

"The Huang family has this little blood left now. Lin Yunwen wants to use him to fake surrender, but Huang Zu actually agrees?" Xun You pinched his beard and asked suspiciously.

Cao Cao himself was also puzzled by this question.

But after all, he has a special status, so he still came here on a civilian boat. He probably did it intentionally. Let's listen to what he has to say first.

"General Cao, General Cao!"

Huang She was extremely excited when he saw Cao Cao. He knelt down on one knee and bowed before choking up and saying, "Lin Mo can't tolerate this. He wants to take away my father's military power and reduce my military position. Please let General Cao make the decision!"

After Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said calmly: "There is no need to be impatient. Please tell me slowly what happened, and I will make the decision for you."

"General Cao"

Huang She tried his best to adjust the tone of his sobs and said in a solemn voice: "There are rumors that the ancestral graves of the four major families were dug up, probably because Lin Mo wanted to use this to drive a wedge between General Cao and the four major families, in order to achieve civil strife in Jingzhou.

A few days ago, Lin Mo led an army to Xiling City in Jiangxia. My father just asked a question, and he was accused of being a criminal and stripped of his post as Navy Commander. He only stayed in Xiling City as the prefect of Jiangxia, and his last general was also stripped of his post. He went to the post of Shooting Sima.

My father knew very well that Lin Mo was of a narrow temper. If the war was delayed, he would have to settle his accounts after the war was over, so he sent his generals to meet with General Cao.

If General Cao is willing to accept it, my father is willing to help the general defeat Lu Lin's army! "

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel shocked. He spoke so loudly but kept a calm expression on his face. He asked in a deep voice: "Lü Lin has no less than 400,000 troops. He has an inexhaustible supply of food, grass and weapons. How can your Majesty help me defeat the enemy?"

Huang She had stopped sobbing at this time, with a concealed smile on his face, and asked in a low voice: "May I ask General Cao why he defeated Yuan Shao during the Battle of Dudu?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao could no longer calm down. Even if he couldn't tell for a while whether the opponent was pretending to surrender, the matter of food and grass was the lifeline of the three armies. It was undoubtedly a huge temptation for Cao Cao, who had enjoyed this benefit in the past. He was breathing rapidly. Said: "Go on!"

"General Cao, Lu Lin's naval forces are stationed at Xiakou Ferry, and the infantry and cavalry are also encamped on the ferry. However, the food and grass military camps are all stationed in Xiling City, with enough 2 million stones of rations and countless ordnance. The general guarding the city It is Hao Zhao, and the deputy general is Guo Huai, who is stationed with 10,000 troops."

"But Xiling City is impregnable. Even if there are only 10,000 troops, it will be difficult for our army to break through it immediately. Once Lin Mo discovers that there is an enemy, the cavalry will rush from Xiakou for reinforcements and they will arrive in two hours." Cao Cao, who was already clear in his heart, was pretending. I let out a long sigh of disappointment. In fact, the hands on my back were already shaking with excitement.

"What if my father can get these two drunk and open the city gate?" Huang She said with a smile.

Cao Cao immediately got into a show, frowned and said, "Seriously?"

"It's absolutely true. Please immediately ask the general to order all the cavalry across the river to put on Lu Jun's armor. If you encounter Lu Jun along the way, he will say that he is ordered to rush to Xiling City to supervise the grain supply. They will not be suspicious. Just a fire will destroy hundreds of thousands of troops. Without food and grass, the morale of the army will be in chaos, and General Cao can take advantage of the situation to defeat Lu Lin's army!"

It is very dangerous to give in and ride across the river. Although the distance between the two banks is not too far, and even the wider water is only about ten miles, transporting it across is not a big problem.

But once the war reaches a stalemate, they will be unable to retreat, and without food and grass supplies, the army will surrender without a fight in just one or two days. In essence, this is the same as Lu Lin's daring to rashly put his own foot forward. The principle of riding across a river is the same.

Once the opposite side implements a strong wall and clears the country, and the navy cuts off its food and grass supplies on the Yangtze River, the group of people crossing the river will starve to death.

If there was an internal response, that would be different. If the whole thing was completed as Huang She said, Lu Lin would indeed be defeated.

Unfortunately, this is destined to be just a beautiful fantasy.

The reason for Huang She's appearance is too far-fetched. It's reasonable to say that Huang Zu wanted to ask for evidence because of the grave-digging incident. However, if you say that Lin Mo is narrow-minded, he will deprive both father and son of their military positions because of one more question. Yes, who believes it?

Not to mention, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Man Chong are all demoted generals. Which one of Lin Mo is not entrusted with important tasks? Why did he become like this when he arrived at your Huang family?

If you don't believe it, you don't believe it, but Cao Cao can't really do anything to Huang She. After all, he came here with the hat of surrender. If he kills him, no one will dare to defect in the future.

Therefore, Cao Cao could only cooperate with the performance, but could not expose anything after all.

But before he could find a suitable reason to deal with it, Huang She continued: "But there are conditions."

Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up. If there are conditions, then this matter may be true, "But it doesn't matter!"

"General Cao"

Huang She bowed in a serious manner at first, and then said slowly: "General Cao should have heard about the hatred between our Huang family and Sun family. After the incident is completed, please General Cao to hand over Sun Ce to our Huang family."

"Okay! If this can be done and Lu Lin can defeat it, then sooner or later Sun Ce, my temporary ally, will become my strong enemy. So what if I leave it to you to deal with!"

Cao Cao placed his hands heavily on Huang She's shoulders and said in a deep voice: "You should take a short rest in our camp first. I need to make arrangements for the attack on Xiling. When everything is ready, you can return to Xiling. Then you can prepare the details." Convey them to your Majesty one by one so that the plan can be successful."

"I will obey your orders!"

Cao Cao nodded and looked at Cai Mao, "Take him down and treat him like a guest!"

"Here!"

After the two left, Cao Cao let out a long sigh, put his hands on his belt and muttered: "Gongda, this thing sounds a bit unreasonable, but in his last words, I feel that there seems to be a glimmer of possibility in this unreasonableness.

Is there any reason why soldiers should not take risks? It all depends on whether the risk is worth it. Judging from this straw boat borrowing arrows, Lin Mo's behavior can no longer be explained by wisdom. My confidence in long-term confrontation is also a bit lacking. , but if this matter can come true and Lu Lin can be pulled up in one go, I want to give it a try. What do you think? "

Guo Jia is gone, Xun Yu is gone, and Fazheng is gone. In addition, Jia Xu and Liu Ye, who were supposed to belong to him, are not here. There are not many people with whom Cao Cao can discuss, and Xun You's opinion is very important. "My lord, just now Huang She asked a good question about how the Guandu battle was won. I wonder if my lord still remembers it." Xun You did not answer directly but asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Destroy their food and grass," Cao Cao said.

Xun You nodded, "Then who gave my lord Yuan Jun the news about the place where he can store grain?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao froze and let out a long sigh, "Remember, of course I remember, it was the tip bag brought by Lin Motuo Zhang Yang. You reminded me well. You reminded me well."

He knew what Xun You meant. In such a battle with a disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, the only way to win was to make a fuss about the grain and grass. He knew it, and Lin Mo also knew it, but Lin Mo used tricks to trick the grain and grass. location.

Now, Lu Lin has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. If he can calculate other people's food and grass, wouldn't he be more careful about his own food and grass? Stationing 10,000 troops in Xiling City is certainly enough to protect the food and grass. What is unreasonable is The reason is that he will not put an untrusted Huang Zu in his lifeline city.

Who is Lin Mo, the most calculating man in the world, who would make such a stupid mistake?

Cao Cao had already confirmed that Huang She was the person sent by Lin Mo to pretend to surrender, and he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart. It would be great if it was true.

"Then let me find a reason to send him away. Lin Mo has really exhausted all his traps. At this time, he has not forgotten to pretend to surrender. Which direction do you think we should go in next?"

Cao Cao sat back on his handsome chair, his head hanging down in a daze.

He didn't know how long it took, but he noticed that Xun You didn't seem to answer his question, so he couldn't help but turn his head and look over, and then realized that he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Gongda, what are you thinking about?"

Xun You remained indifferent, Cao Cao raised his voice and called: "Gongda?"

"My lord, I've thought of a plan, maybe you can give it a try!" After reacting, Xun You's frown suddenly opened, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"What's the plan?" The plan that made Xun You so excited was obviously not simple, so Cao Cao immediately asked him to demonstrate it.

As Xun You demonstrated on the sand table, Cao Cao's expression changed visibly. First he was suspicious, then his eyes lit up, and the final touch was that he stared as wide as a bell.

In Liu Jun's barracks, Zhuge Liang was lying on his stomach in his tent, his face was pale, there was medicine on his buttocks, and he was in a daze.

It is really a shame that a proud person like him will one day be deceived by the army and receive a military stick.

Of course, the words Lin Mo asked Xu Sheng to shout by the river were probably even harsher than the military staff, which once made Zhuge Liang feel a little shattered.

He had done nothing else these days except thinking about how Lin Mo did it.

He thought about all the possible and impossible reasons. It was really unreasonable. It was too difficult. This question was too difficult.

Liu Bei saw all this and felt pain in his heart. He also encouraged Zhuge Liang, Gou Jian who suffered hardships, and Han Xin who was humiliated under his crotch, but the effect seemed limited.

In fact, a smart man like Zhuge Liang doesn't need anyone to enlighten him, because these principles are engraved in his bones.

Liu Bei knew that what he was sad about was not that he was humiliated, but that he fell into confusion. In this first collision, not only was his clever strategy seen through, but he was also manipulated by others. At this time, Zhuge Liang should have lost He gained the confidence to defeat Lin Mo.

But this is the most important point. I can only hope that he can figure it out soon.

Lin Mo is really ruthless. He will break you if you break him. He still humiliates people like this. He is not playing like this. He is really a monster.

"Kong Ming." In the military tent, Liu Bei was in a daze and Zhuge Liang was in a trance. Cao Cao and Xun You walked in.

"General Cao is here." Liu Bei quickly stood up to salute, and Zhuge Liang also nodded in salute.

Cao Cao unceremoniously brought a small stool and sat beside the bed, sighed and asked, "How are the injuries on your body?"

"Thank you for your concern, General Cao. I will be able to walk around after lying down for a few more days." Zhuge Liang's voice was a little weak.

Twenty military sticks, not even a military man like Wei Yan could bear to eat them, let alone Zhuge Liang.

Cao Cao explained helplessly: "It's not that I don't sympathize with you, but I was helpless in the situation at that time. The soldiers were unhappy, and the rear also needs an explanation. I can only wrong you."

"I understand." Zhuge Liang nodded.

"I'm here first to take a look at your body, and secondly I have something to discuss with you and Xuande."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Liu Bei glanced at the pale Zhuge Liang and took the initiative to take over, "General Cao, please speak."

"Just now, Huang Zu's son Huang She came over and said that Huang Zu wanted to surrender."

Looking at Zhuge Liang's astonished eyes, he knew that he and Xun You wanted to go together. Before he could say anything, Cao Cao pressed his hand and said, "How can you hide this from me? However, I think this matter might as well be solved. It will be necessary at that time." Kong Ming, thank you for your hard work."

As soon as these words came out, the weak Zhuge Liang also became interested. He instinctively wanted to help him get up, but his expression was distorted because of the pain in his butt. Cao Cao quickly expressed concern: "Sir, there is no need to get up, just listen to me."

Liu Bei was feeling uneasy. A few days ago, he was scolding talented people, but now he called him "Mr. Sir." This plan might put Kong Ming at risk.

"Please tell me, General Cao."

Cao Cao raised his forehead to Xun You, and the latter relayed the plan again.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's expression was a little playful, but Liu Bei's reaction was the same as Cao Cao's before, but then the excitement was concealed, and he sighed: "Kong Ming, this plan sounds good, and once the 400,000 Lulin army is obtained, it will definitely It will be wiped out, but you have to go deep into the tiger's den, I don't know what you are thinking about."

Zhuge Liang began to comfort Cao Cao before he could say anything, "Xuande, Kongming, I have thought carefully about Gongda's plan and confirmed that it is feasible.

First, Lu Lin's navy actually had average combat power. If given the opportunity, they would definitely be more willing to use infantry and cavalry. After all, that was their confidence in taking over the ten states of the Han Dynasty;

Xiaozhi and Junyi died because of you after all, and you also ate the military stick. This matter can be passed back to Lin Mo through Huang She. If we make some noise these days to show him, no matter how wise Lin Mo is, this Everything made sense and it was hard for him to be suspicious.

As long as you cross the river, according to Gongda's plan, they will definitely be fooled. When it comes to fruition, the 400,000 Lulin army will be burned to the ground. We will also win this battle! "

This is both comforting and emboldening.

At least Liu Bei on the side felt that this plan was feasible no matter how much he cherished Zhuge Liang.

Of course, Zhuge Liang did need to take risks himself, but there was no contradiction in this matter. As long as he followed the plan, Zhuge Liang would definitely be safe.

Finally, the three people's eyes fell on Zhuge Liang, waiting for his answer.

Zhuge Liang, who pondered for a long time, finally shook his head, "No."
