In front of the tall and powerful Xu Chu, Han Dang naturally had no idea of showing off.
Moreover, Cao Cao was extremely benevolent and righteous to him. I believe that no one would miss him anymore and choose to die when he had a chance to live.
Han Dang became curious about the prosperous age mentioned by Cao Cao. He really wanted to see what kind of prosperous age Cao Cao could make the world look like.
Han Dang let out a breath, raised his head and gave Cao Cao a fist. After thanking him, he turned around and followed Xu Chu out of the tent.
After Han Dang left, Cao Cao looked at Lu Yan and asked, "Mr. Lu, you are here to see me on business, right?"
Lu Yan put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, I just received news from Fengxiao that Fuyu and Goguryeo have joined forces to attack Liaodong!"
Cao Cao was a little surprised, and then quickly thought of Cao Ang who was active in Liaoxi County, so he asked tentatively: "Is there something going on with Zixiu?"
Lu Yan immediately gave Lao Cao a thumbs up and praised: "As expected of Mr. Cao, he hit the nail on the head!"
He took out the secret message from his sleeve and handed it to Cao Cao. Lu Yan then continued to explain: "The coalition forces of Fuyu and Goguryeo are likely to exceed 50,000 people. Gongsun Kang's command, excluding the garrison guarding each side, may not be able to mobilize more than 50,000 troops." Thirty thousand.
Fearing that he would not be able to stop the joint attack of Fuyu and Goguryeo, Gongsun Kang sent a request to the crown prince to send troops for assistance.
I estimate that the Crown Prince may have entered Liaodong County with fifty thousand cavalry by now."
Cao Cao scratched his beard and felt that it was not that simple.
Cao Ang is generally considered a loyal person, but his loyalty does not affect his ability to adapt to circumstances.
"Mr. Lu, I'm afraid it's not as simple as you said, right?" Cao Cao stared at Lu Yan with his little eyes and asked.
"Haha, there is nothing better than a father to know a son!" After hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but clasp his hands and laugh.
After laughing, Lu Yan said to Cao Cao: "Before this, Guan Yunchang gave the prince a false plan to destroy Guo. This time Gongsun Kang lured the wolf into the house, I'm afraid he won't be able to get rid of it."
"You are the wolf!" Cao Cao glared at Lu Yan with some dissatisfaction and muttered.
"No, no, no, you, Lao Cao, are the wolf, and a colorful wolf..." Lu Yan immediately retorted in his heart.
However, there was not much joy on Cao Cao's face. "Gongsun Kang is also a person who has an overall view of the situation. He will not fail to guard against such a superficial strategy as destroying Guo through false means."
"But don't forget, Mr. Cao, there is another person under Gongsun Kang who is always eyeing the position of Liaodong Governor!"
Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes wide and read out a name: "Gongsun Gong!"
"Of course!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then discussed other things.
Just when Lu Yan was about to leave, another guard suddenly came to report: "Report! Prime Minister! The Jiangshang Navy was attacked by the Jiangdong Navy. Commander Gan fought with the enemy general Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai was defeated and had already led the army. escape!"
"Sun Quan actually dares to send Zhou Tailai to actively provoke him?" Cao Cao frowned, somewhat confused about Sun Quan's intention. "Mr. Lu, what do you think Sun Quan is thinking now?"
Lu Yan was not a roundworm in Sun Quan's belly. How could he guess what Sun Quan was thinking right now...
"I don't know...Sun Quan is now facing the attack from us and Shanyue. He should cherish his troops and focus on defense..." Lu Yan was also very confused and couldn't help but muttered to himself: "What on earth does he want to do? "
...
About six days ago.
Jiangdong, Wu County, Wuhou Mansion.
Zhou Tai came to Wuhou Mansion with some excitement. He had just received good news and wanted to request an interview with Sun Quan.
Zhou Tai is Sun Quan's confidant and favorite general.
After learning that Zhou Tai wanted to see him, Sun Quan immediately came to the reception hall.
When Sun Quan entered the hall, he happened to see Zhou Tai walking around restlessly in the hall.
"Youping, why are you so urgent?"
Zhou Tai was called by Sun Quan, and then he realized that Sun Quan was already sitting on the main seat.
"My lord, I will finally receive some good news!"
"Oh? What good news can there be now?" Sun Quan asked self-deprecatingly.
Zhou Tai was a rough man and didn't know how to comfort Sun Quan...but he felt that as long as he told Sun Quan the good news, Sun Quan would definitely be as happy as him.
"Reporting to my lord, the envoy team heading to Liaodong discovered a huge island after going out to sea!"
Because Jiangdong imitated the three-masted warship, it had the ability to go to sea in advance. The envoy sent to Liaodong this time was on a three-masted warship, and then went north along the coast.
When Sun Quan heard that the fleet had discovered a new island, he couldn't help but stand up and asked: "How far is that island from the land?"
"It seems to be less than three hundred miles away. They discovered the island because of a combination of wind and waves! And it's not just the big island, there are many small islands around it."
Less than three hundred miles!
According to the speed of the three-masted warship sailing at full speed, it takes less than a day to reach the island from land!
Discovering a new island is a disguised form of opening up territory for yourself.
Sun Quan is now cornered by Cao Cao and Shan Yue. If that big island is big enough, it might be able to serve as his final strategic depth.
You know, the barrier of the sea is much wider and more dangerous than the Yangtze River!
The ugly words are ahead,
Even if Jiangdong is completely occupied by Cao Cao in the future, Sun Quan can still take his people who are willing to follow him to that island to recuperate and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan walked up to Zhou Tai. He couldn't wait to see it in person.
"Youping, go prepare the big ship. I want to see for myself!"
Zhou Tai couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, "Lord, we haven't actually boarded the island to see it yet. I'm afraid there are unknown dangers on it... Moreover, Jiangdong still needs you to be in charge..."
Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "No one will know that I left Wu County for two or three days at most."
Zhou Tai thought so, and then asked: "Then when do you plan to leave?"
"Is the brother who came back to report the news still there?"
"It's right outside!"
"Then let's go now!"
After finishing speaking, Sun Quan walked out of the reception hall directly.
Seeing this, Zhou Tai quickly trotted to follow, and then said: "Lord, I will follow you!"
Sun Quan said without looking back: "No, you have to stay, otherwise people will definitely guess that I am not in Jiangdong."
"Then you leave, what should I do?"
After hearing this, Sun Quan thought for a moment and replied: "Prevent Cao's army from advancing eastward by water, and don't let them discover the fact that I am not in Jiangdong."
After Zhou Tai took the order, the scene where the Jiangdong Navy attacked the Ganning Navy appeared.
After Gan Ning's naval forces cooperated with Cao Cao to capture Chaisang City, they prepared to continue eastward and sweep away the water forts or fortifications on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
Zhou Tai's sudden attack left Gan Ning a little confused. To be on the safe side, Gan Ning finally chose to follow the land army, advancing step by step and slowly.
