Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, please answer the question!

With 10,000+ people destroyed, even Cao Cao would inevitably feel horrified.

If he confronted head-on on the battlefield and his own side was killed more than [-], he would not say anything.

But was tricked to death!

It is conceivable what a blow to the morale of the soldiers at that time, and how desperate the more than [-] people must have been.

Cao Cao thought: "So in this battle, the ground troops must not be allowed to board the ship, and water warfare cannot be my main means of attack."

"As long as I have soldiers, then I will be invincible."

"But what I need is not to defend, but to advance!"

"It is impossible for Sun and Liu Lianjun to stay on board all the time. As long as they cut off their food, we can win without fighting."

Cao Cao pondered why he hadn't thought of this before.

I'm afraid it's because this trick against him is not a trick, but a series of tricks.

Ever since Pang Tong offered his plan, he was using his eagerness to drive the boat into the mouth of the abyss.

"The series of iron chains and the bitter tricks are really far-sighted. Zhuge Kongming is indeed a person who can be remembered for thousands of years!"

"But since I already know these schemes, I can't give them a chance to implement them!"

Cao Cao walked out of the army tent and recruited his younger brother Cao Hong.

"Brother, what are your orders?"

"Go and capture Pang Tong, you've seen him before, he's that ugly counselor!" Cao Cao said.

"Yes!"

Cao Hong took the order to go, but he brought Pang Tong here in a short time.

This Pang Tong was really ugly, with thick eyebrows and raised nose, black face and short beard, and strange face.

Pang Tong asked Cao Cao very calmly, "I don't know why the prime minister invited me here!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "What a kind invitation, I invite Mr. Feng Chu to come here, don't you have any expectations?"

Since Pang Tong is a counselor who can be as famous as Zhuge Liang, he will naturally plan both success and failure.

He said: "It should be the prime minister who discovered the mistakes in my plan. The chain of iron chains may indeed be broken, but this is undoubtedly the best way for the prime minister to fight on the water!"

Pang Tong didn't panic at all.

Cao Cao nodded inwardly. Although Pang Tong was born ugly, he might as well be a talent.

However, he still snorted coldly on the surface: "You want me to connect the chains with iron chains, tie all the boats together, and then go to Sun and Liu to offer advice. Let them attack me with fire!"

"You want to use this as a testimonial to get Sun Quan or Liu Bei's reuse!"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Pang Tong trembled slightly.

How did Cao Cao know about his plan?

……

Chapter 25 Trick Discovered!

Pang Tong felt a little flustered.

Because of Cao Cao's determined tone, as if he had already known his plan from somewhere.

This had to make him wonder if there were spies planted by Cao Cao around him.

But he probably didn't tell anyone about this plan!

"Prime Minister, please be aware of the details. I never have such a thought in my heart."

Pang Tong immediately knelt down and said loudly.

Cao Cao sneered, and continued, "Whether you have this idea or not, you can't be more clear in your own mind!"

"Mr. Shui Jing called you Fengchu, Zhuge Liang Crouching Dragon, and praised you two as rare counselors in the world."

"But he recommended you to join Liu Bei and Sun Quan, because no one under Liu Bei can use it, and the same is true for Sun Quan."

"However, if you have no achievements, it will be difficult to get reused even if you enter their command, so you want a certificate of honor."

Cao Cao has already guessed the cause and effect closely.

Why would a top strategist like Pang Tong offer him such a trick full of loopholes?

This must be abnormal!

Pang Tong was even more confused after hearing this.

He understood that Cao Cao already knew all his schemes.

It won't help if you keep talking like this. For people like Cao Cao, what they believe cannot be changed by the power of words.

He couldn't figure out why his scheme was discovered, was it Xun You or Cheng Yu who discovered it?

Or is it Sima Hui who knows him very well?

Pang Tong was sweating on his brow, and said, "The Prime Minister guessed right. Mr. Shui Jing clearly stated that under the Prime Minister's command, I will definitely not be able to ascend to a high position."

"So I want to use this battle as an opportunity to defect to Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou."

"I thought the plan was perfect, but unexpectedly, the prime minister guessed it! It's up to you to kill or cut into pieces!"

People with ability also have ambition.

Cao Cao has too many talents in his hands, and not all of them can be reused.

Sun Quan and Liu Bei are different. Sun Quan still has Lu Su and Zhou Yu in his hands, but Liu Bei can be said to be all four.

Only by following such a person who is thirsty for talents but has no capable people around him can he be able to sit in a high position.

In fact, he is more inclined to Sun Quan, because Liu Bei already has Zhuge Kongming under his command.

He knew that Kong Ming's talent and knowledge were higher than his own, and if he was oppressed by such a person, he would definitely not be able to hold his head up in the future.

Moreover, now that Zhuge Liang has received Liu Bei's courtesy, it is even more impossible for him to compete with Zhuge Liang!

As for Lu Su and Zhou Yu beside Sun Quan, he is confident that with his own talents, he can still play around.

Cao Cao shook his head: "Mr. Shui Jing misunderstood me. Although he knew that I have countless capable men, he didn't realize that these capable men are already old."

"Ru Zhongde is 67 years old now, how many more years can he live?"

"And your scholar yuan is still standing, and the old minister abdicates, and the court still needs to inject fresh blood."

His figure was cold, like the cold wind outside: "Pang Tong, if you surrender to me, I can spare you from death! I can also protect your fame and fortune!"

To put it simply, if you don't surrender, you will be killed directly!

Pang Tong knew that there were many generals and advisers who died under Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao cherishes talents like his life, he will not hesitate to kill those who cannot be used by him or even threaten him.

Now there are soldiers on both sides, and the swords in his hands are still shining coldly. He has no way to escape. Although he has the idea of ​​taking refuge in Sun Quan, after all, he has not yet taken refuge.

There is no need to sacrifice your own life for such a thing.

He immediately knelt down in front of Cao Cao and said in a trembling voice, "I would like to follow in front of the prime minister and act like a dog and a horse!"

Cao Cao nodded indifferently: "Although you expressed your allegiance to me, it is not so easy to expose your deception to me."

"Pang Tong, this Battle of Chibi is an opportunity for you to make up for your mistakes. If you win this battle, you will survive. If you lose this battle, then you don't need to keep it."

Pang Tong only felt that his scalp was numb, life and death were now in his own hands.

Cao Cao wanted him to offer advice to help win the battle.

20 against [-], just looking at the numbers alone is overwhelming, there is no suspense at all.

But since he, Pang Tong, offered the chain trick, he naturally saw Cao Jun's loopholes.

Although the number of Cao's army is large, water warfare is not land warfare. Most of Cao Cao's hands are soldiers who have no experience in water warfare.

If it is really fought on the water, it will be useless except to send it to the Jiangdong navy to kill.

"Prime Minister, I do have a plan!"

"Say!"

Pang Tong forced himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "The prime minister's troops are several times stronger than the coalition forces in this battle, but the prime minister does not have many soldiers who are proficient in water warfare."

"That Zhou Yu and Lu Su are strategists who are proficient in water warfare. If this battle is placed on water, then this battle will definitely be lost."

Cao Cao nodded and agreed with Pang Tong.

Pang Tong continued: "If you want to take down the coalition forces as soon as possible, in fact, the prime minister only needs to blockade the two sides of the strait, and then use the Jingzhou navy to harass."

"The coalition forces are several times smaller than ours. They must be more nervous than us, and their morale is weak. As long as they continue to harass day and night, the coalition forces will be exhausted physically and mentally, and they will be defeated."

The coalition forces only have 5 people, and they will definitely not disembark and fight them.

There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on both sides of the strait, and there are also tens of thousands of naval forces on the river. Although they are scattered, they cannot give full play to the numerical advantage of 20.

But whether it is the troops on both sides of the strait or the Jingzhou navy, neither the coalition forces can easily win.

As long as the coalition forces are held back, the other two parties will be able to support them.

And the most important point of this strategy is not to fight, but to disrupt!

Let the spirit of the coalition forces be tense, and they can't feel at ease for a moment!

Now that the enemy is weak and we are strong, it should not be Cao Cao who should be anxious, but Sun and Liu.

If Cao Cao attacks, they will have a way to deal with it.

However, if Cao Cao had been waiting for the right time, intending to kill him with one blow, Sun and Liu would not know when and how Cao Cao would attack, and chaos would ensue.

However, Cao Cao still has some worries: "What if the coalition forces plan to make a quick decision and attack the Jingzhou navy?"

"The Jingzhou navy has just landed on me, and they may not be able to do anything."

"If the coalition forces seize this opportunity, I'm afraid they will win in one fell swoop."

Pang Tong said: "Set up a deputy commander to restrain Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to prevent rebellion."

"We don't require the Jingzhou navy to beat the Jiangdong navy. As long as the enemy comes and the navy docks, the coalition forces will be powerless. They dare not board the ship and fight."

Cao Cao's eyes brightened. As long as the Jingzhou navy can make peace with any party, the number can exceed [-].

With [-] coalition troops, how dare you fight again?

The two sides are his soldiers and horses, the coalition forces can only stay on the river, and the Jingzhou navy on the river can harass them, cut off their food and grass, and the coalition forces will collapse without a fight.

"As expected of Fengchu, this is indeed a good strategy."

Cao Cao loves talents in his heart, but he still needs to discuss the mistakes and omissions of this plan with Xun You and Cheng Yu, and add details.

Although Pang Tong talked about surrender, he didn't necessarily mean it in his heart.

He said to the soldiers: "Leave him alone and watch him strictly. If there is any abnormality in him, he will be killed!"

Pang Tong's pupils shrank, and he was led down by the soldiers without saying a word.

……

Chapter 26 Who said that the dead cannot be brought back to life?

At this time, on the other side of the river, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang were all invited to Sun Quan's military tent.

Liu Bei walked in the front. He was not tall, only seven and a half feet tall, with hands hanging down to his knees, ears like cattail fans, and a face like an old farmer.

Although he is six years younger than Cao Cao, he is 47 years old now.

Sitting next to him was a tall man, nine feet tall, a full head taller than Liu Bei, with a beard two feet long, red phoenix eyes, crouching silkworm eyebrows, a face like a jujube, and lips like fat. It was Guan Yu.

The person next to him is more than eight feet tall, with a leopard head and ring eyes, a swallow jaw and a tiger beard, and a strong figure. Who else can there be besides Zhang Fei?

Later, Zhuge Liang's face is like a crown jade, wearing a lun scarf and a crane cloak, he looks like a fairy.

Although he is also eight feet tall, his figure looks a bit smaller next to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Sitting opposite the military tent were Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Cheng Pu, Dong Xi and others.

After the four were seated.
