Chapter 122 The Red Cliff Victory
When Zhuge Liang made it clear, Sun Quan also wanted to understand it.

Zhou Yu also wanted to ask: "Kong...Kong Ming, what does Cao Ang mean?"

"This one……"

"Gongjin, go back and talk later, it's inconvenient here, Cao Cao is about to call!"

Apparently Sun Quan didn't want the matter to be discussed here, so the guards brought them four horses and distributed them among them.

When Sun Quan spoke, Zhou Yu didn't ask any more questions. He got on the horse and hurried away with Sun Quan.

And in the back, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also got on their horses.

"Military division, what does Cao Ang mean?" Liu Bei also asked.

"My lord, he is giving Sun Quan a chance to be effective, let Sun Quan go back, and write a letter with Cao Cao himself."

"What? Didn't you argue with Soochow Chen that Sun Quan must not surrender?"

Liu Bei didn't believe it. Zhuge Liang's battle against Confucianism had just passed away not long ago. Besides, Zhou Yu was the main battler, and his prestige in Jiangdong was unmatched. Didn't Sun Quan know that what was left for him to join Cao Cao?
Zhuge Liang said before that other people can surrender, but Wu Hou cannot.

That's because Wu Hou is the master of Jiangdong, others just changed masters, what about him?
But this time, Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "It's different now, then Sun Quan might be about to surrender."

"Then why couldn't he surrender before, but now he can descend again?"

"Because of Cao Ang, he can talk to Cao Cao..."

"What about us?"

"My lord, don't worry, let's go back and find a solution!"

Zhuge Liang didn't want to waste time here either, "Then Cao Ang... really has deep thoughts, my lord, be careful of him."

All four left, and there were some people left in the camp, but Cao Ang didn't care about them.

……

The Soochow army had completely given up and did not intend to fight back to the camp. All the boats on the river were running downstream.

Cao Ang asked everyone else to go out, and he waited for Cao Cao to come over, with Sun Shangxiang beside him.

"Xin'er, won't you follow?"

"I can't go back. As I said just now, I would rather be a cow than a horse, and die by the son's side."

"This is so scary, why do you say that?"

"I know my son's friendship, and I have done my best to let my brother go. If the prime minister punishes me, I am willing to bear it..."

Hearing what she said, Cao Ang felt that her understanding was wrong, but he didn't know how to tell her.

To be honest, will Sun Shangxiang be disappointed? It would be better to let her keep the misunderstanding?

She was actually moved, because Cao Ang released him twice according to her wishes, and this kind of kindness is not even promised by his body...

But I have to say that Sun Shangxiang really misunderstood.

Cao Ang is not someone who sees beautiful women and can't walk. Of course, letting Sun Quan go is to give himself a chance.

Now that he has broken the Red Cliff, taking the camp is a great victory, it doesn't make any difference whether he lets people go or not, no loss of merit.

What is the greatest credit? It is the first credit!
Taking the camp is the first achievement, but if Wu Hou is captured again, what can Cao Cao give him?

Seizing the enemy camp in Chibi is enough to make you the crown prince. No matter how much credit you have, Cao Cao can give way to you?
Therefore, keeping Sun Quan's line and letting Sun Quan come to negotiate peace with Cao Cao, one is to leave a backing for himself, in any case, it is also a favor for Jiangdong.

Secondly, it also made Cao Cao lose a little less.

Assuming that Cao Cao continues to attack Jiangdong, the more land he occupies, the greater the loss will be, and Wu Hou will have to be in charge.

The resistance of the mountain people has been difficult for a long time, and Cao Cao may be exhausted here, and the terrain of the mountain is very complicated.

Cao Ang knew that this kind of troublesome guerrilla warfare could kill an empire, and it happened more than once in later generations.

If Sun Quan is wiped out now, and Jiangdong is hastily occupied, then Jiangdong will become a quagmire.

The best way is to let Sun Quan surrender first, and then use him to guard Jiangdong.

Actually... It doesn't matter whether the ministers surrender or not. Now Cao Cao has no strength to win Jiangdong. The prestige of Sun Jian and Sun Ce is an intangible asset, which is not easy to measure with military strength.

"Don't take the burden, let father know that you are in my camp, and you will implicate me."

"How about that?"

Cao Ang glanced at Sun Shangxiang: "You can leave if you want, but if you want to stay, this outfit is too eye-catching."

Only then did Sun Shangxiang realize that her appearance as a female general is really luxurious.

"My lord, this concubine is going to change into an ordinary dress."

"Go...Remember, your face has to be painted black too, otherwise it will look too good."

Cao Ang himself is a person who has seen countless P pictures in later generations, and he can stand up to any appearance, but others in this era can't.

Sun Shangxiang went to change his armor now, and Cao Ang asked the guards to call Wenpin and Huang Zhong.

"Remember, what happened just now can't be spread, and you can't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, son, I will remember!"

Cao Ang nodded, looked at them and said slowly: "Don't worry, I will give you credit. The credit for taking down the Chibi camp belongs to you. You are the first credit for this battle."

Huang Zhong said with a smile: "Young master doesn't have to be like this. If you are loyal to this life, it is enough to be appreciated by you!"

"How can I do that? I can't fight with you, and it's useless for me to snatch it. You have to accumulate more attacks, so that you can dawdle in the future."

"How can I dawdle, I still want to fight the world with the young master!"

Huang Zhong is very simple, just taking advantage of his ability to play, how many days does he have left?

Wenpin is different, but he is not greedy for credit: "Young master, I don't need to ask for credit, the prime minister will remember it anyway."

There is nothing to ask for, he Wenpin is the chief general, and Cao Cao will of course be rewarded.

As for Cao Ang, his way of remembering merit is naturally different from others, regardless of what Cao Cao said, it is just different.

So when Cao Cao sent his son into the army, he said that he was the same as other soldiers, so don't take it to heart, it must be different...

"Okay, open the gate of the village and welcome the prime minister, they should be here soon."

It was almost dawn at this time, and Cao Cao should have already made arrangements, and he would definitely bring his elite to see.

After a night of hard work, many people were in good spirits.

Sure enough, Cao Cao came with all the soldiers, and Wulin Water Village also arranged for guards.

Cao Ang made preparations a long time ago, and first let Cao Cao walk around the Dongwu camp. Cao Cao laughed and felt refreshed.

In the end, Cao Cao was brought into the meeting hall in the Soochow camp.

Everyone stood in line, Cao Cao looked at the generals and nodded slightly: "Yes, although I have the confidence to ping Jiangdong, but the success this time is still unexpected, all because of my son's plan!"

Cao Pi next to him was a little dissatisfied: "Father, let me fight next time, always let the elder brother fight, and we will become useless people."

"Hahaha……"

Cao Cao just laughed, thinking that this was deliberately making him happy. Cao Pi didn't know that the whole process was arranged by Cao Ang.

He responded casually: "Okay, we can drive the army straight down to Jiangdong, Zihuan, you have plenty of opportunities!"
