"Lord, Sun Quan has been increasing his troops in Puxukou in recent times."

"According to the report of the spies, the total number of additional troops is already close to 70,000!"

"Plus the local garrison in Pushukou."

"I'm afraid Sun Quan wants to get involved in Hehui again!"

Xu Chang

Prime Minister Fuzhong

Cheng Yu held a front-line military newspaper and reported to Cao Cao.

In fact.

Before Cao Cao had returned to Xuchang from Hanzhong, Sun Quan had already begun to increase his troops in the direction of Puxukou.

But the increase in troops at that time was more like a secretive proceed.

For example, three hundred soldiers today, five hundred soldiers tomorrow, similar to this way.

Very in line with the unique temperament of the rat generation.

But now.

Perhaps Sun Quan swelled and felt that he could do it again.

The army in the direction of Puxukou was enough to cross the river and pose a threat to the Cao army.

"This Sun Zhongmou is indeed a difficult person."

Old Cao commented from the heart.

Indeed, judging from Sun Quan's past performance, Lao Cao admired Sun Quan more than he despised it.

Although the first battle of Hehui had not yet begun to fight Sun Quan, he was frightened back by Jiang Ji with a letter.

But in the end, it is still impossible to see what Sun Quan's true level of commander is.

Thus.

Sun Quan continued to increase his troops in the direction of Puxukou, which was enough to attract the attention of Lao Cao's scholars.

"Zhongde, what do you think should be done about Sun Quan's intention to interfere with Hehui?"

Old Cao opened his mouth and asked Cheng Yu.

A fierce light flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes and replied:

"Since the Battle of Chibi, the Jiangdong Army has been very arrogant."

"If you ignore it, I am afraid that in half a month to a month at most, you will receive the news that Sun Quan has marched in the direction of Hehui."

"Lord, this battle must be fought, and Sun Quan must know the pain, know the pain!"

The voice fell.

Lao Cao nodded.

He and Cheng Yu had the same idea.

Compared to Liu Bei, who had just taken Liu Zhang, he occupied the land of Shu.

Sun Quan, who quietly developed for three or four years, was undoubtedly more threatening during this period.

What's more.

Since the Battle of Chibi, the Jiangdong Army has not fought any defeats so far.

The Battle of Nangun was difficult, but in the end, it was also considered a victory for the Koto Army.

This led to Jiangdong's arrogance.

Sun Quan himself can't wait to expand his territory and achieve hegemony.

If the arrogance of the Jiangdong Army is not extinguished in time, it will become a hidden danger in the future.

After setting the tone of the main battle.

Cao Cao called out the advisers and generals to discuss the matter.

The opinions of the people were quite unanimous, and they all supported sending the army south to fight with Sun Quan near Hehui.

To this.

Lao Cao naturally wanted to set an example.

He prepared to send 70,000 troops south, cooperate with the defenders near Shouchun, and Zhang Liao and others in Heyu City, and start a large-scale melee with Sun Shiwan.

The total strength of the army is as high as 90,000 people.

However.

Now it's embarrassing.

Since the Cao army only had the water army of Baxian Water Army, it did not have the strength to cross the Yangtze River and attack the Jiangdong mainland.

And on Sun Shiwan's side, the siege ability is also a batch of crotch-pulling.

If it is placed on land in the Central Plains to fight, with the power of the cavalry of the Cao army, the Jiangdong army will also be difficult to resist.

Therefore.

The place where this battle broke out was destined to be only in the area of Hehui and Huixukou.

......

Cao Ying Mansion

For the upcoming war, Cao Ying, as the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, will naturally go to the war.

It is worth mentioning.

Due to his butterfly effect, the battle has been very different from the original historical trajectory.

Sun Shiwan is fierce, and Lao Cao's side is also strong.

With the same strength or similar forces, the probability of Lao Cao defeating Sun 100,000, well, directly is 100%!

After all.

Zhang Liao took eight hundred warriors, and he could chase Sun 100,000 to lose his armor.

The 90,000-strong army of Cao Ying also included the elite of the Tiger and Leopard Horse, the Euphorbia Warrior, and the Tiger Guard.

If you can still lose in this way, then it is better to quit the hegemony directly and go from the palace!

Thus.

For this upcoming battle, Cao Ying did not have any pressure in her heart.

Opposite.

He has the ease of a novice village fighting wild monsters.

EMMM is not that Cao Ying looks down on Jiangdong.

But the few that Jiangdong can fight so far have either passed away or have not yet sat in the decision-making position.

And Cao Ying's side, except for Lao Cao and Cao Ying.

Zhang Liao, Zhang Hao, Yu Ban, Xu Huang, Li Dian, Huang Zhong, Pang De, Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, Yiqiu Jian, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and other peak lineups came out.

How can this lineup be lost?

If it weren't for Xiahou Yuan's stay in Hanzhong, Cao Ren would be transferred to Jingbei again, I'm afraid... The lineup of Cao Ying will be even more luxurious!

On the other hand, look at Koto.

The manager is Sun Shiwan himself.

With this alone, this battle has already won ninety-eight percent!

Although the generals of Jiangdong are not bad, their abilities are also quite good.

There are more fierce warriors such as Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, and Ding Feng.

But let's do it... Gan Ning is not the god Gan Ning, Xu Sheng is not the realm Xu Sheng.

In this case, unless Zhou Yu or Sun Ce are reborn.

Otherwise, Cao Ying really couldn't see the slightest hope of winning on the Jiangdong side.

However.

Cao Ying is not stressed, does not mean that others are not stressed.

For example, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi, who have just reached a cooperative relationship, can't wait to get together to discuss countermeasures.

......

Cao Chang's mansion

In addition to Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi.

Sima Yi, Yang Xiu, Chen Qun, and Ding Yi were also gathered here at this moment.

Chen Qun was the No. 2 army division under Cao Pi, and he was best at handling government affairs.

Ding Yi and Chen Qun correspond to the same position, and they are the No. 2 dog-headed military division under Cao Zhi.

His gaze swept over everyone, and Cao Zhang took the lead in speaking:

"Guys, this time no matter what, we will also travel with the army."

"But in terms of military power, we don't seem to be as good as Cao Ying."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi both felt a sense of shame.

So far, they have no direct military power other than a few hundred guards.

Cao Chang is better, but only relatively better.

He had three battalions under his command, one of which was a cavalry battalion.

This alone seems to be okay.

But without contrast, there is no harm.

Cao Ying is the commander of the tiger and leopard horse.

Except for himself.

Generals such as Huang Zhong, Pang De, Zhang Hao, and Yiqiu Jian were also his people, and they all held more or less some military power in their hands.

In this way, in terms of military power, Cao Ying directly exploded the third son of the Cao family!

Seeing everyone's faces showing sorrow, Sima Yi spoke:

"Three sons, in fact, you can do tricks among the people."

"Minfu?"

Hearing what Sima Yi said, the third son of the Cao family looked puzzled.

Yang Xiu on the side was the first to react and said with a smile:

"Zhongda's meaning, isn't it to let the three princes set up private soldiers in private, and then mix them among the people to hide from the sky and cross the sea?"

Sima Yi nodded repeatedly.

He had to admit that although Yang Xiu was very conceited sometimes, his ability was indeed good.

"This..."

Cao Chang's face hesitated.

This move, in fact, is very risky.

Since the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu re-established the Han Dynasty, almost none of the powerful families did not raise private soldiers at home.

The rulers also know this.

But knowing that does not mean that policy sanctions will not be imposed on this.

For example, every time they go on a campaign, those who are ordered to go on a campaign must conduct a census of troops.

According to the corresponding official position and establishment.

If the number of people is small, it needs to be completed according to the specifications. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

If there are many people, they will be severely fined, and even worse, they will raid their homes and behead them!

Why is that?

Because the number of people is higher than the original establishment, it means that private soldiers are being raised in animals, how can the ruler not take the opportunity to cut a wave of leeks?

Of course, the policy dictates so.

But in fact, it has long been an indisputable fact that the family animals raise private soldiers.

The whole social wind is like this, one or two policies, just to make up for the sewing, to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had no military power under their command.

But this does not mean that the families who support them do not have private soldiers!

Besides.

The family will have some family children in the army.

The military power under the command of these family children can also take the opportunity to obey the orders of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

The only inconvenient place.

It is a private soldier from a family who cannot be brought to the battlefield with integrity.

Because Lao Cao had also clearly stipulated in the previous military conference that the total number of troops sent from Xuchang this time was only 70,000.

After arriving in Hehui, he cooperated with the defenders of the Huainan region, totaling about 90,000 people.

Every military power has been established.

The private soldiers of the family are difficult to cram into the army in large quantities.

But whenever a large-scale legion goes out, there are a larger number of civilians behind it to follow and participate in the battle.

It is mainly used to transport heavy materials and support logistics transportation.

Now.

Sima Yi's strategy of concealing the sky and crossing the sea was precisely to let those private soldiers of the family mix in with the people and use them to follow them into the war.

At that time.

With this group of private soldiers to help.

The third son of the Cao family will be able to make more meritorious achievements on the battlefield, which will impress the old Cao.

It is even possible to stuff this part of the private soldiers into the regular army who died in battle to cheat rewards.

What?

What should I do if I am discovered?

This kind of small thing, if these families still can't settle it, then it is really a waste of the title of "family".

Seeing Cao Chang hesitate.

Cao Pi couldn't help but say eagerly:

"Ziwen, do you want to see the scene where you are imprisoned at home in the future and you can't even get out of the mansion?"

"~ I can't even get out of the door, let alone lead troops to fight on the battlefield and make a name for myself!"

"Boom!"

Excited by Cao Pi like this, Cao Chang slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

Leading troops to fight is Cao Zhang's biggest hobby, and there is no one.

Previously, when Cao Pi pulled him into an alliance, he said that if the person who succeeded him later was Cao Ying, then his third uncle would definitely be marginalized and lose the opportunity to lead troops to fight.

This is undoubtedly the most unacceptable point for Cao Zhang.

Thus.

At this moment, he was so excited by Cao Pi.

Cao Chang immediately made up his mind.

It doesn't hurt to stuff private soldiers into the people

As long as this battle can make military achievements, everything will still be played!

Cao Pi and Sima Yi looked at each other and smiled.

As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public.

Pull Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang, even if they are finally discovered because of the matter of stuffing private soldiers into the people's house, presumably Old Cao will not punish too much.

I don't know.

Yang Xiu watched them coldly from the side.

Soon.

Cao Ying's side received the plan of the third son of the Cao family.

In this regard, Cao Ying made a targeted deployment.

To put it bluntly, these three people are thinking of making meritorious contributions from the battlefield at this moment to regain Lao Cao's trust and attention.

After all.

The succession of a son to the throne is naturally more reasonable than that of a grandson in terms of blood relations.

But the three forgot something rather important.

Lone wolves, do not fight with dogs.

It's not that lone wolves are afraid of the dogs.

But it knows that a pack of dogs can only be a pack of dogs, and cannot become a wolf pack, nor can it become a big thing.

Each of the three sons of the Cao family is pregnant with ghosts.

Don't look at it, temporarily creating the illusion of "loving each other as a family".

But this illusion can be punctured with just one point!

......

Xun Mansion

Looking at Xun Yu who was slowly walking from outside, Xun Yu almost burst into tears!

"Uncle, you're back."

Xun Yuming is older than Xun Yu next year, and the expression on his face at this moment is as if a child has found his mother, how sincere and sincere.

"Two whole (Zhao) months! Two whole months! "

"Uncle, do you know how I came over these two months?"

Xun Yu pointed to the mountains of official documents.

Every day, he fell asleep with this pile of official documents.

Besides.

Between the major families, between the courtiers, and some things of Lao Cao, Xun Yu was busy and dizzy.

If Xun Yu doesn't come back, I'm afraid Xun Yu will have to find a way to deceive and resign!

Can't stand it! I can't stand it!

"Gongda, hard work on you."

Xun Yu smiled.

Recently, he returned to his hometown to plow the fields, which allowed him to harvest a lot.

Oh, yes!

There are so many choices in the world, why should he be entangled in the obsession in his heart?

Moreover.

Due to Cao Jie's pregnancy, Liu Xie in the palace is now much more honest and no longer engages in things.

Other words.

Lao Cao does not have to rush to claim the title of king at present, and Liu Xie no longer keeps making small movements behind his back.

The two have entered a state of equilibrium!

After Xun Yu returned, he could continue to serve as Shang Shuling and Cao Ying's chief butler step by step.

Suddenly.

Xun Yu seemed to realize that something was missing.

He quickly asked Xun Yu on the side:

"Gongda, Cai'er is gone?"

Xun Yu smiled and spooned:

"I went out half an hour ago and went to ride a horse outside the city with Ei Gongzi."

Xun Yu: "??? "

"So, the two months I've been away from the house, and Eigongzi comes every day?"

Xun Yu: "Not really, just come every three to five, each trip to bring some small gifts to my aunt, and stay for most of the day." "

The voice fell.

Xun Yu suddenly had a heartache that the old father was deceived and his daughter was deceived!

It hurts!

Looking at Xun Yu in front of him, Xun Yu couldn't wait to let him continue to die in Shang Shuling's position!
