Chapter 41
"Actually, there is nothing to say. People like Cai Hao and Zhang Yun don't have the guts to betray you even if they want to betray you." Lin Xuan said: "They are all villains who once betrayed the owner for glory, but the seller seeks glory, and the seller It's just incidental, seeking glory is the key. Now that you have achieved glory and wealth, what reason do Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have to betray you?"

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Then what can Sun Quan and Liu Bei give him?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded, obviously he thought so too.

"There is also a possibility that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun want to replace you, divide the world with Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and eventually unify the Central Plains." Lin Xuan said again: "But you also know that whether it is Cai Hao or Zhang Yun, They don't have the courage, let alone the ability, otherwise they wouldn't have surrendered in Jingzhou back then."

These words are all spoken casually, but because they know the correct history, they are particularly well-founded.

"What you said is true," Cao Cao said.

In the end, he still didn't kill Cai Hao and Zhang Yun, but deliberately appeased them, making them tearful.

"Prime Minister, Huang Gai, a veteran of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, was dissatisfied with being beaten by Zhou Yu, so he handed over a letter of surrender to you." A spies came in to report.

Although the situation has changed a lot, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai still used bitter tactics against Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, I'm afraid there may be fraud!" Jia Xu said.

"Huang Gai is a veteran of the Eastern Wu. He started to fight on the battlefield long before the Sun family was stable. He has worked hard and made great achievements. Now that Zhou Yu treats him like this, Huang Gai is not a saint. It is normal to have a different heart." Cao Cao said: "I think He really surrendered, what do you think?"

Although he was asking everyone, he looked at Lin Xuan, obviously wanting to hear his opinion.

"I suspect it's a bitter trick!" Lin Xuan organized his words and talked eloquently: "Jiangdong has experienced three generations, the country is in danger and the people are attached to it, and the virtuous are used for it. It can be said that the interior is monolithic, and it is difficult for such a major rebellion to occur. .Furthermore, Huang Gai is a veteran of Soochow Wu with a high status. Even if there is a disagreement, Zhou Yu should not torture him lightly. Otherwise, if people lose their hearts, it will be difficult for Soochow's team to lead!"

Regarding this, Jia Xu nodded secretly, obviously being fooled.

"But on the battlefield, if a subordinate contradicts the commander, even if he is killed immediately, it is not too much!" Cao Cao said.

"Hehe, this is naturally a normal situation in Cao's army where orders are strictly enforced, but what is the situation in Jiangdong? It is a group controlled by an aristocratic family. If you are not careful, it may change hands. Huang Gai is a staunch supporter of Sun Quan. As long as Zhou Yu It's absolutely impossible to do anything to him if it's not because his head is showing off, or because he has a different heart!" Lin Xuan said.

Cao Cao was skeptical about this.

In fact, he still felt that Huang Gai's surrender was sincere. If it weren't for Lin Xuan's three "must-win" strategies, he wouldn't have cared about Lin Xuan's words at all.It can be seen from this that even if he possesses the magic skill of deceiving, Lin Xuan's persuasion ability is not very high.

At least, Cao Cao, who is determined, cannot be persuaded.

"I guess that Zhou Yu's purpose for making Huang Gai feign surrender must be to use fire to attack." Lin Xuan didn't care whether Cao Cao believed it or not, and said directly: "Now the west wind is blowing, which is beneficial to us. It seems that he is not afraid of fire. But In fact, at a certain point in a few days later, the west wind will stop and quickly turn into the east wind. I don't believe that only I know this. I can figure it out!"

This sentence, he said half-truth, half-false, the purpose, of course, is to fool you.

As a result of the Battle of Chibi, with his intervention, it is almost impossible to have any accidents. However, the strategy of governing the country was proposed and adopted, and the root cause of the disaster of the Five Huddlers was solved. Only a high status will do.

So recently, he needs to sharpen his sense of presence.

"East wind, west wind, this is the right time, and manpower can predict it?" Cao Cao asked in amazement.

"As long as it exists, there is logic to follow, and someone can predict it. This is not a rare thing." Lin Xuan said: "But I suggest, Prime Minister, you must be prepared for fire prevention. If Huang Gai really surrendered, naturally Everyone is happy, but if it's just a trick, we can use the trick and turn around and count Zhou Yu!"

In this regard, Cao Cao nodded and said, "It is possible to be prepared."

On the other side, Zhou Yu quickly invited Zhuge Liang out of the cell and asked him to borrow the east wind for him.But although Zhuge Liang agreed to borrow the wind, he had a serious face and said: "One step loses, step by step loses. There are experts in Cao Ying, and the strategy may be better than you and me. Liang suggested that the governor should not make dangerous moves. Otherwise, if there is a mistake, the whole line may be defeated!"

Hearing this, the arrogant Zhou Yu immediately said, "It's possible to be taller than you, but against me, he may not be able to win!"

Because of the failure of the straw boat to borrow arrows, at this time, he no longer regards Zhuge Liang as a counselor of the same level.

"I hope!" Zhuge Liang said.

He didn't know how far the wise man in Cao Ying had reached, but if the two armies were to fight each other, he had countless ways to put him to death.

Whether it is in vision, or in strategy, wisdom, and erudition, I can beat him.

Even I can't see through Cao Ying, how can Zhou Yu see through this time?
"Who is it? Pang Shiyuan?" Zhuge Liang thought.

But soon, he knew that the person was not Pang Tong, because Pang Tong left Cao Ying and came to find him in person, saying: "There is an expert in Cao Ying, and that person's knowledge is astonishing. Unless you and I work together, otherwise Absolutely can't compete!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang immediately asked, "How much do you know about him?"

"Advisors through the ages, those below seek strategies, those in the middle seek strategies, and those above seek to strengthen themselves!" Pang Tong said: "This is the realm of counselors that Lin Xuan himself said. I thought about it for a long time, and found that I was only strategic Level, you can’t be regarded as a superior strategist. And you, Kong Ming, can only occasionally think of strategies to strengthen yourself, and you are far from truly becoming a “superior strategist.”

Then, he told Kong Ming about iron ships, artillery fire and other things.

In the end, Zhuge Liang suddenly realized, and said: "I don't seek wisdom, I don't seek strategies, I only aim to strengthen myself, plan without planning, and be invincible without fighting. High, the realm of the 'supervisor', It's really high!"

Lin Xuan would never have imagined in his wildest dreams that his casually pretentious words would make Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang limping.

"Zhou Yu will lose." Zhuge Liang said.

As a result, there is no doubt that Cao Cao, who had been prepared for a long time, went to accept the surrender with an iron warship. Although he was attacked by fire, he did not get in the way at all. Instead, he wiped out Huang Gai and caused heavy losses.

Zhou Yu is also worthy of being an outstanding man through the ages. Seeing that the situation is not good, he resolutely gave up the attack and retreated to defend the natural danger of the Yangtze River.

However, whether it was him, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, or even Lin Xuan, they all underestimated the courage of one person——Cao Cao!After Cao Cao saw the power of the steel warship, he decisively ordered the dismantling of the warship to lay the bridge across the river.

As a result, the underwater bridge was laid in just a few days.

"Wine is a song, what is life like? Like the dew in the morning, the past days are bitter..." Cao Cao sang a poem, and then led a million-strong army to kill across the Yangtze River.
