Lu Su smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is really different from ordinary people. He has a broad mind, which I admire."
Cao Pi sighed, "It's just a matter of picking off people's wits. If we say that you are broad-minded, your King of Chu is different from ordinary people."
Lu Su bowed his hands and said goodbye, "Then I will go back and resume my life with my king."
Cao Pi nodded.
Halfway through, Lu Su suddenly stopped and turned around, "Your Majesty, are you really unwilling to fight?"
Cao Pi frowned and said, "When my father comes back, he will naturally have a decisive battle with your army. Messenger, don't worry."

Lu Su laughed playfully, "Then the prince will just wait. I'll take my leave."
After Lu Su left, Cao Pi pulled off his skirt, walked back to his seat and sat down, "Mr. Jia, what did he mean by his last sentence just now? Why do I feel a little uneasy?"
Jia Xu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of Duke Wei returning to Xudu is a top secret among our army, but Lu Su already knows about it. This means that everyone in the Chu Kingdom knows that Duke Wei is no longer in the camp."
"There are only two possibilities for this. One is that one of us leaked the news, and the other is that the emperor sent someone to contact the King of Chu!"
Cao Pi's eyes were shocked, "What do you mean?"
"Report!"
"I inform you, Your Majesty, that the enemy's 200,000 troops have crossed the Yangtze River and have arrived at Juchao, and are marching towards Hefei and Shouchun!"
When an army of 200,000 came, there was no need for Liu Cong to spread the news, and the Wei army's scouts were not cripples.
"Two hundred thousand!? Why does Chu still have troops?"
"Including the armies of Hefei and Shouchun, as well as the army of Wancheng, the number of troops used by Chu State this time is already 600,000 to 700,000!"
"What can we do? If your Majesty is not here, how can we be the opponents of the Chu people?"
"Silence!"
Cao Pi shouted and looked at the scout, "Is the news reliable?"
The scout raised his hands and replied, "Your Majesty, I have seen with my own eyes that the navy of Chu State is constantly transporting troops on the Yangtze River. Looking at the number of flags, I estimate that 200,000 people are only a lot more!"
"Back off!"
"promise."
After the scouts left, Cao Pi looked around at the crowd and said, "Don't panic. Even if reinforcements from Chu arrive, they will only have only 400,000 soldiers and horses. We still have 260,000 people."
"In a fight involving hundreds of thousands of troops, we can definitely win if we have more soldiers and horses. Our army has been fighting all year round and is much more elite than the Chu army. What is there to be afraid of?"
What Cao Pi said was right. Everyone present nodded frequently, but there were always people who didn't understand.
"Your Majesty, although our army is elite, the Chu State has more soldiers after all, and the Chu Army has always had many methods. Catapults, crossbows, etc. are all weapons that can determine victory or defeat. What if something new happens this time?
Stuff, once we..."

"Once what? Do you think our defeat is certain?" The official was interrupted by Cao Pi before he finished speaking.
"No, no, no, Your Majesty, I don't mean that. What I mean is..."
"Cao Zhang!"
"exist!"
"This man has disturbed the morale of our army. Drag him out! Kill him!"
"promise."
Cao Zhang had already been holding back his anger, and was worried that he had no place to vent his anger. He took three steps at a time, grabbed the man's collar, and dragged him outside.
"Your Majesty, please spare your life. I didn't mean that. I just... Your Majesty, please spare your life! Cao Pi! I am a member of the Chen family, you can't kill me! Cao Pi..."
Cao Pi watched Cao Zhang dragging the man out expressionlessly, until the last sentence made him frown slightly.
But after this person, no one in the tent dared to say anything.

Cao Pi looked around the people in the tent coldly, "My father gave me the army and asked me to station here and wait for him to come back. Huainan, our army must take it back this time."
"Don't say that the Chu army increases its troops by 200,000, but if we add another 500,000, our Wei Dynasty will have no troops?"
"Anyone who dares to talk about retreating or disturbs the morale of the army, I will kill him first!"
"The prince is wise!"
What Cao Pi didn't know was that he would soon be slapped in the face by these words.
"Everyone please leave, Mr. Jia stays."
"promise."
After everyone retreated, Cao Pi looked at Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Jia, in your opinion, what should we do at this time?"
Jia Xu said in a deep voice, "Stick to the camp and send people to Xudu to see how your Majesty is doing now."
"You mean my father..."

Cao Pi didn't dare to say anything unnecessary, but the worry in his eyes almost overflowed.
"If it is true that the emperor sent someone to contact Liu Cong, then we are in trouble internally and externally. I am afraid the emperor is pretending to be ill. Once something happens to you in Xudu, we will have no choice but to withdraw our troops."
Cao Pi was so anxious that he stood up, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's withdraw our troops quickly. If father... can't do it, I will give the order right away!"
With that said, Cao Pi had already walked outside the military tent.
"Your Majesty!"
Jia Xu stopped him, "Your Majesty, listen to me first."
Cao Pi stood down and turned to look at Jia Xu, only to hear him continue, "Your Majesty, Huainan is in an important position. If we can recapture Huainan, we will win in terms of tactics and strategy."
"What scene has your Majesty not seen in your life? If this is a trick by Liu Cong and the Emperor, it will not be easy for hundreds of thousands of troops to mobilize. I don't know when the next time I will come again."
"Furthermore, if... I am talking about what if, if something unexpected happens to your Majesty, your prince, you must be prepared. Even if Mount Tai collapses before you, your expression will not change."
"At this time, anyone can mess up, but you, the Crown Prince, must not panic."

Cao Pi stayed there for a long time, and then sighed, "I understand, don't worry, Mr. Jia."
After that, he turned around and walked outside the tent again, and happened to bump into Cao Zhang who was coming back, "Second brother, what's wrong? Why do you look like this?"
Cao Pi was still thinking about something and almost bumped into Cao Zhang. After being reminded by him, he came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing."
"Third brother, find a few trusted and reliable people among your bodyguards and ask them to hurry back to Xudu."
Cao Zhang was indeed reckless, but he was not a fool. He immediately frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Something happened to my father? What happened to the emperor in Xudu?"
Cao Pi glared at him and then looked around, "Shh, don't make any noise. We're not sure yet, so I asked you to send someone back."
"I don't have anyone I can trust in the army. After all, you have been in the army a lot. Remember, you must find a few reliable people."
Cao Zhang did not dare to be frivolous anymore, and nodded seriously, "Second brother, don't worry, I'll go find someone right now."
Cao Pi nodded, "I'll write a letter, and you can come to my account to pick it up later."
"Um."

After returning to the camp, Lu Su immediately went to see Liu Cong and told him everything that had happened.
"He's really wearing it?"
Lu Su nodded, "He didn't want to wear it originally, but Jia Xu reminded him and he happily put it on."
Liu Cong smiled and said, "This Cao Pi still has some courage. Jia Xu is also an old fox."
Lu Su sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the prince of Wei is wise and his ministers are wise. This is not the blessing of our great state Chu."
"Zijing is right, but if you are not afraid of Gu, Gu has defeated Cao Cao more than once, how can you still be afraid of his son?"
"Hahaha……"
…
Liu Cong's words caused everyone in the tent to laugh.
