[Three Kingdoms] Seven steps into wetness

Isn't this just borrowing arrows from straw boats!

Thinking of these four words, Cao Zhi had a rough guess in his mind, and said, "Father, my son has something to say."

At the same time as Cao Zhi said, there was also Guo Jia's sentence: "My lord, wait a moment."

Cao Cao paused.

He waved his hand to signal the soldiers to stop and glanced at Guo Jia.Seeing that Guo Jia was staring at Cao Zhi with a smile, he turned to Cao Zhi and said, "Say it."

Cao Zhi glanced at Guo Jia, the corner of his mouth twitched and said, "I just have a problem."

"Say."

"The enemy army came at five o'clock, and the fog on the river was so deep that almost no one could see clearly. I thought this was a good opportunity for a sneak attack. If my son was a general of the Wu army, he must take advantage of the thick fog to kill us by surprise! Instead, he decided Don't beat the drums and shout to make a big show, so as to alarm everyone."

After Cao Zhi finished speaking, he added as if he couldn't understand, "Could it be that they think that the sneak attack is too dishonorable, so they plan to wake up our army and try the power of our army's iron arrows?"

As soon as Cao Zhi said this, everyone fell into a subtle silence.

The beating drums in the distance were still hoarse, forming a weird contrast with the silence.

Cao Cao took a deep look at him, then turned his attention to Guo Jia.Then he heard Guo Jia say: "That's right, Guo Jia is also wondering about this."

Cao Cao took a deep breath, his heart has calmed down.

Once a person is in a crisis, his thoughts will always be chaotic.Especially when seeing the other party's suspicions, he becomes more guilty and fearful.

Cao Cao was also like this before.He should have discovered this doubt, but because he was too suspicious, he fell into the blind spot of worrying about their ambush.

Cao Cao paced back and forth a few steps.

After a long while, Shen Shen said: "That's right, they didn't do it for a sneak attack at all, but they wanted our army to know about their sneak attack!"

"Then why did they deliberately let our army know?" Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhi with eyes like mirrors: "Fourth, tell me."

Cao Zhi frowned slightly.

He thought about it for a moment, and finally hesitated under Cao Cao's affirmative expression: "The enemy army let us know of their existence, and because they were in the middle of the river in the fog, our army dared not rush to fight, so my father had to arrange archers to lead the bow and shoot. So—no matter what their purpose is, I think they will be able to guess this—since we expected our actions, then their purpose may be to let father shoot arrows..."

Cao Zhi only said this, and Cao Cao laughed out loud.Not only him, Guo Jia also tacitly raised the corners of his lips.

Cao Cao patted Cao Zhi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You are right!"

Perhaps because they hadn't moved for a long time, the people in the boat thought that they thought everyone had been shot to death, so they beat the drum again to show that they were all right.

Cao Cao sneered: "Zhang Liao, continue to order to shoot arrows!"

"Yu Jin, lead the fifty sailors to approach those ships carefully! If you find that they are really lonely, come back quickly. Cao Ren, you arrange twenty ships. Once Yu Jin confirms that the other party is serious, you will chase after them." , and strive to take advantage of the chaos to wipe out all of them!"

"As ordered!"

After finishing these arrangements, Cao Cao brushed off the dew that had condensed on his clothes, and slowly sneered, "I want to see Gu, who dares to tease Yu Gu like this!"

A group of soldiers led the soldiers away, Cao Zhi wondered: "Father, why don't you just set fire to them and burn them to death?"

"Good question." Cao Cao glanced at Cao Zhi, pointed at Jiang Xin and said, "Look, fourth child, the fog is too thick! The boat has been moored in the middle of the river for a long time, and the boat must be extremely humid. It must be extremely difficult to catch fire. It’s also easy to scare the snake.”

Cao Zhi bowed and said yes.

Most of the counselors have been woken up, and then they put on the above and went to the riverside.Hearing that Cao Cao made such an arrangement, they were confused for a moment, and they all gathered by the river to watch the development of the situation.

Zhang Liao was still ordering everyone to shoot arrows, and the fog on the river was getting thicker.Although such a thick fog gave the enemy the best cover, it also helped Yu Jin a lot.

He approached cautiously until the enemy's big ship was right in front of him, and found that there was a scarecrow standing in the ship, and the man was full of their arrows!Yu Jin sneered angrily, and ordered the navy to retreat quickly, and then notified Yu Jin.

Yujin Daship

The enemy troops in the boat also noticed something was wrong!It's just that their anchors have all been dropped, and Cao Cao hastened to chase them. The people who deployed them did not love to fight, but resolutely abandoned the few ships that were overtaken behind, and left quickly.

In a short while, except for the captured eight ships, all the others retreated.

Cao Cao rubbed his hands and ordered the boats to be dragged back.He looked at the unburned straw in the boat, and said with a sneer, "This is really a good trick! But I don't know who is deploying it?"

Yu Jin said: "It's foggy and I can't see clearly, but at the end of the day it's so blurry that someone exclaimed 'Mr. Kong Ming, what should I do now'."

"Zhuge Kongming, Zhuge Liang!" Cao Cao took a deep breath, nodded his head and said, "It seems that this man has some real talents! Oh, it's a pity that our army still saw through it!"

After finishing speaking, he patted Cao Zhi on the shoulder again, and all the counselors praised Cao Zhi one after another.

Cao Zhi showed a modest smile, without any pride, as if he wasn't the one who made the limelight today.

Cao Cao was happy on the face, but there was still a bit of anger in his heart.

All the counselors praised Cao Zhi again, and then went back to the camp.After all, it is only five o'clock now, and the enemy army will not come to attack in a short time, otherwise, sleep again and recharge your batteries.

Cao Zhi looked at their backs and heaved a sigh of relief.He walked slowly to Guo Jia's side, and said helplessly, "Sir, are you cold?"

Guo Jia stepped back.

Walking beside Cao Zhi, when he tilted his head, he subconsciously felt that Cao Zhi seemed to have grown a little taller.Then he ignored these messy thoughts and only smiled: "You seem a little reluctant. Why, doesn't it feel good to be under the spotlight?"

The corner of Cao Zhi's mouth twitched: "...the students are just not used to it..."

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows: "Not used to it?"

Cao Zhi bowed his head and said nothing, which was his tacit consent.

Guo Jia smiled deeper.

He stared into Cao Zhi's eyes, and his eyes were bright: "You have to get used to it. In the future, I'm afraid you will attract more attention...or even look up to you!"

It was broad daylight.

The matter of borrowing the arrow before was like a dream.But everyone knew that this was not a dream, and because of this, some even recommended themselves to go to Wu Jun's camp, willing to be an internal response.

Those who recommend themselves are Cai Mao's two younger brothers.

In fact, Cao Cao had killed Zhang Yun and Cai Mao before, and after realizing that he had been tricked, he immediately apologized to the two brothers, and then rewarded them generously.Therefore, they may still have resentment towards Cao Cao, but in terms of comprehensive power and wealth, it will never be very deep.

Cao Cao stared at the two men, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "You two brothers are willing to go to Wuying, thinking that you will be an internal response?"

Cai Zhong bowed his head and said yes.

Cao Cao lowered his eyes in thought.

He has already fallen into the plan for today's matter, if it were not for Guo Jia and Cao Zhi, Zhuge Liang's plan would have succeeded.From this point of view, he really needs an internal response who can deliver real news.

But Cheng Yu said, "It's not right."

"Oh?"

Guo Jia also said: "It's just such a one-sided statement to turn against the lord because of his brother's death. They went to Wuying alone without any family members... Zhou Yu is such a character, he can use the lobbyist Jiang Gan However, the lord and Cai Mao, how could they really believe them."

Cao Cao frowned.

He got up and took two steps, finally nodded and said: "That's right. If Gu was them, Gu would never believe it."

A group of counselors bowed and said: "My lord is clear."

Cao Cao waved his hand: "Okay, okay, when are you still flattering me!" He paused, and then said: "Fourth, what do you think?"

In fact, ever since he discovered the trap of borrowing arrows from straw boats, Cao Cao seemed to realize that this son was a bit unusual, so naturally he wanted to see what he had learned these days.

Cao Zhi has black lines all over his head.

If he was in Xuchang at this time, he would definitely not have said much.But the battlefield is by no means child's play, even in the Battle of Red Cliff, in his previous memories, they were defeated so badly that they won three points in the world later.And now that he was on the battlefield, he naturally said whatever he had to say.

He said slowly: "If Zhou Yu doesn't believe it, father can design to win him."

"for example?"

Cao Zhi said reservedly, "What I think of is what happened to Mr. Cao Hong not long ago."

What Cao Zhi said was actually that Cao Hong's relatives committed a crime a year ago and were captured by Xuchang prefect.Then Cao Hong asked Cao Cao to order the prefect to release his family members. Cao Cao held a banquet to reconcile because Cao Hong had saved his life with him. Instead, he gave the prefect a chance to kill the relatives directly.

Cao Zhi only said this sentence, but Cao Cao already understood.

If there is guilt because of Cao Cao, now Cai Mao's family will commit crimes either out of hatred or out of arrogance, angering General Xu Chu, the "martial idiot", beheading the culprit in great anger, and then arresting all those who do not obey the military regulations.And the Cai brothers asked Cao Cao to severely punish Xu Chu to no avail, so will they hold a grudge?

So they defected to the Wu army in a rage, isn't there a reason for it?

If it was him, Cao Cao, wouldn't he be convinced immediately after verifying the matter?

Cao Cao clapped his hands together and said, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, you have been with Feng Xiao for less than a year, but you have to look at him with admiration as a father!"

Some people echoed: "It is often said that scholars should treat each other with admiration after three days. The fourth son is talented and intelligent, and he has a master book and a military adviser as his teacher. How can he be mediocre?"

Cao Cao laughed heartily when he heard it.

In fact, not only Cao Cao, but most of the counselors, especially Yang Xiu.

When everyone left Cao Cao's tent to lie, Yang Xiu walked up to Cao Zhi, and sneered softly: "The fourth son is very majestic today, why didn't you see it before?"

"Hehe!" Cao Zhi smiled awkwardly.He knew in his heart that Yang Xiu was despising him why he didn't say it before, but suddenly wanted to say these things after following Guo Jia for a few months, so he could only say helplessly, "Mr. You are joking, what the students said is only what most people can do." Thinking of it! Where did the prestige come from?"

Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows: "Fourth son, I have something to do as a teacher, and I still need to prove it."

Cao Zhi asked inexplicably, "Huh?"

Seeing that Yang Xiu stretched out his hand suddenly, pulled Cao Zhi's face, and pulled hard to both sides.

Cao Zhi was taken aback, but he didn't try to break free from Yang Xiu: "Xiansen, why is Zero pulling the student's face?!"

Yang Xiu frowned, pulled his face, and watched repeatedly.

After a long time, he suddenly let go of his hand.

Not only did he let go, but he rubbed his fingers against Cao Zhi's clothes, as if his hands were stained with some grease.

"..."

Cao Zhi stroked his aching cheek, staring sadly at his teacher.

Yang Xiushi calmly said: "It's nothing, I'm just watching as a teacher. Could it be that some strange person pretended to be the Fourth Young Master."

Cao Zhi almost gritted his teeth and said, "What's the conclusion?"

Yang Xiu put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "The fourth son's martial arts are for nothing."

Cao Zhi was dumbfounded!

He stared at the back of Yang Xiu who was going away lightly, and his whole body was weathered in the cold wind.

What made him even more dumbfounded was that there was a counselor in green shirt floating beside him, but his clear voice was left behind: "Is the fourth son just reminiscing?"

When everything was deployed and the Cai brothers also secretly went to the Wu army camp, Cao Cao got another news.

—— Huang Gai of Zhou Yu's department refused to accept Zhou Yu's dictatorship.

When Cao Zhi heard this, he was stunned for a long time.

He supported his chin with one hand, and lightly clicked on the case with the other: "Why is this scene so familiar?"
