Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms Chapter 541 After more than ten years in a hurry, what has not changed is Boss Cao's original heart
Chapter 541 After more than ten years in a hurry, what has not changed is Boss Cao's original heart
After reading Lu Yan's diary, Cao Cao's drunkenness and sleepiness were also swept away.
He walked to the window and pushed open the window.
The window was opened, and the night breeze suddenly poured into the house and blew on Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had just broken out in a cold sweat, and when he was blown by the night wind, he couldn't help but shiver.
Fortunately, Lao Cao is still in good health. Although he feels a little chilly, he is not that sick.
"Chibi... Mr. Lu said that in history, this Chibi was the place that ended my hope of unifying the late Han Dynasty..." Cao Cao looked at the starry sky and murmured to himself.
[Chibi... This place ended Boss Cao’s hope of unifying the late Han Dynasty. What kind of changes will happen this time? 】
After a long time, Cao Cao spread the diary in front of his eyes again, and then stared at the last sentence in the diary for a long time, falling into deep thought, "Why can't you write more, Immortal Lu?"
"What kind of fire did Zhou Yu use to burn me to pieces?"
"Why did my soldiers and warships stupidly let him burn them all?"
"Our land army is so powerful, how could we be defeated by those water monkeys from Jiangdong???"
Lao Cao's mind was full of questions. In the final analysis, it was Lu Yan's fault for not writing in detail...
“Tuk-tuk-tuk!”
Just when Cao Cao was deep in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.
The people outside the house saw that Cao Cao didn't respond despite knocking on the door several times.
Then came the soft and waxy voice unique to southern beauties: "Master, I am here to serve you a supper."
Cao Cao was brought back to reality from his meditation by the voice of the woman outside the house.
After taking a deep breath and letting out a long breath, Cao Cao realized that his legs were numb from standing.
After walking back to the room and sitting down at the table, Cao Cao shouted to his concubine outside the room: "Come in!"
"yes..."
"Crunch!"
The concubine opened the door, holding a skirt in one hand and a plate in the other, and walked in.
The concubine was about to close the door, but Cao Cao suddenly stood up, took off his robe hanging on the wall, and said to the concubine who came over: "Put down the supper. Go get some needle and thread first and help me sew."
robe."
The concubine glanced at the old robe, and then looked at Cao Cao doubtfully.
She thought to herself: "This robe has faded badly and is worn in many places. It looks like it has been used for many years.
Most of the world already belongs to the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister still keeps it?
It seems that the Prime Minister is really a nostalgic person."
Generally, people who are nostalgic are relatively reliable people.
Thinking of this, the concubine felt that Cao Cao was so nostalgic that he would take great care of his old friend, and she suddenly felt full of security in her heart.
"Only a man like the Prime Minister can be called a true hero!" The concubine couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and even her eyes looking at Cao Cao's back became watery.
...
After a busy night, Cao Cao seemed to be in good spirits the next day.
He put on the robe that had followed him since the beginning of the army and had been with him for more than ten years.
Although this robe looks old, in the eyes of Cao Cao's group of old people, it looks particularly kind and majestic!
Standing on the commander's platform, there is an army of 400,000 people that can't be seen at the end.
Cao Cao didn't say any nonsense. He raised his arms high and waved fiercely in the direction of Jiangdong: "The whole army sets off! The target is Jiangdong!
!”
"call!"
"call!"
"call!"
The army is shouting and its morale is high!
As the order to march was issued, Cao Jun's 400,000-strong army began to advance in batches according to the pre-planned route.
Jingzhou Navy has obtained the waterway pioneer and is currently the first team to set off.
The land vanguard was still the Dragon Riding Battalion led by Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, followed behind them were Le Jin, Yu Jin, Wei Yan and other teams.
Cao Jun launched a campaign, and the situation changed!
Jiangdong Jiefanying, who was hidden in Jingzhou, worked carefully, and all kinds of information was quickly transmitted back to Jiangdong like crazy.
.......
There is a saying in the Art of War: Know yourself and your enemy and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
For Cao Cao, who was experienced on the battlefield and proficient in the art of war, knowing yourself and your enemy was just the prerequisite for everything.
Only by first understanding the enemy's strength can we effectively estimate the strength gap between the enemy and ourselves, and formulate better and more targeted strategies.
This is the situation at present,
After Cao Cao learned from Lu Yan that in history he would be defeated miserably at Chibi and ruin his only chance to dominate the world, he became extremely cautious.
If you want to quickly understand Jiangdong's true power, playing a few games with them is the most direct and fastest way.
Cao Cao was a little unhappy when Cai Mao snatched Lu Yan's vanguard position regardless of his identity, but now that he thought about it, he suddenly felt that Lu Yan's choice was indeed the most correct!
Cao Cao needed someone to test the current strength of the Jiangdong Navy for him. Since Cai Mao was willing to risk his own life to serve as a pioneer for the army, Cao Cao was naturally happy to let him go.
Even in order to get Jiangdong to send troops to fight the Jingzhou army as soon as possible, Cao Cao sent someone to report to Cai Mao, asking him to make thousands of copies of the secret message he gave him, and then put it into a sealed bamboo tube and send it along the river.
And down.
Contained here are the challenge letters on Zhou Yu's desk.
Cao Cao sent these letters as both a challenge and a temptation.
If Zhou Yu sends troops to fight Cai Mao, then Cao Cao can get some accurate data from the battle and estimate the approximate strength of the Jiangdong Navy. Although they will most likely hide some trump cards, at least they can defeat the Jiangdong Navy.
Conventional forces will have some understanding.
For Cao Jun, Jiangdong Army's land combat capabilities are insufficient, so they don't need to worry too much.
Only the Jiangdong navy, Cao Cao did not dare to be careless at all.
Cao Cao actually knew for a long time that Sun Quan was imitating Shadow and created an organization dedicated to collecting intelligence. He also knew that Sun Quan was recruiting craftsmen to strengthen his warships, armor and other equipment.
Sun Quan is a leader who can put down his body to achieve his goals. He can learn from his enemies in every possible way in order to strengthen himself.
Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are not easy-going people, and they are called by Lu Yan as men who can create miracles. In order to prevent himself from "making the same mistakes again," Cao Cao must be 200% cautious.
Cao Cao was careful in everything, and his march was naturally done without leaks.
Facing Cao Cao, who had an absolute advantage and was still neither selling nor wasting money, and even being overly cautious,
Both Sun Quan and Zhou Yu felt extremely headaches.
Lu Su asked Zhou Yu before that what should Zhou Yu do if Cao Cao issued a declaration of war and the Jingzhou navy had passed through Wulin...
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu sighed slightly and said to Lu Su, "After the Jingzhou Navy enters our Jiangdong territory, we can only send troops to fight.
Although I don't want to reveal my strength so soon, if the Jingzhou Army is allowed to run rampant in our Jiangdong, then I am afraid that the morale of the military and the people will be tested.
Moreover, even if our army stays behind closed doors and does not go out to fight, I am afraid that there will be more bamboo tubes flowing down the river in a few days.
Cao Cao will definitely say in the letter that I, Jiangdong, dare not accept the challenge and cannot fight.
By then, I'm afraid there will be turmoil within us."
