Go to Jingzhou first, then to Jiangdong?

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Can we not go down to Jiangxia County first, then to Jiangdong, and finally sweep Liu Bei?"

Jia Xu smiled and there were more wrinkles on his old face.

"What the lord said is not impossible. Jiangxia has Xiakou Port, located in the upper reaches of Chaisang. It is indeed a good place to attack Jiangdong, but I believe my lord will not feel at ease with Liu Bei from Jingnan?"

Indeed, if Cao Cao's troops were first taken to the Jiangxia, he could reach Chaisang and kill Sun Quan. However, Liu Bei was always a thorn in Cao Cao's heart. Jia Xu could see this clearly than anyone else.

The nine-curve chain of Yangtze River waters is in the peak of the Yangtze River. It is obviously not a good time to cross the river during the peak of the Yangtze River. In fact, Cao Cao still has one or two months to deal with Liu Bei.

How much time does Liu Bei get in the four counties in Jingnan and Jiangling?

In less than ten days, Liu Bei's original team actually had not many people. He only had 10,000 people to die. Ten thousand people swallowed the five counties of Jingzhou, which was like a snake swallowing an elephant. There were too many generals, which led to the cohesion of Liu Bei's army dropping a lot in a short period of time. And those who surrendered knew that they really surrendered or were under pressure?

Once Cao Cao's army arrives, everything may become intriguing.

If Liu Bei is given a month or even longer, with Liu Bei's political skills, he will have already imposed the five counties in Jingnan. At that time, if he wants to recover Jingzhou, the price he will pay will be much more than now!

So, Liu Bei must clean up first!

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and asked, "What if Sun Quan helped Liu Bei and attacked our army in Jiangxia and Jiangling?"

Jia Xu smiled again on his face, and then said without any haste: "Although Sun Quan is wise and well aware of the lord's thoughts. He knows that after Liu Bei's defeat, he will be in power to swallow Jiangdong. However, Sun Quan is restrained by the Jiangdong gentry. If the lord promises Sun Quan and Jiangdong gentry to be given high officials and generous salaries, they will not come to help Liu Bei!"

After Jia Xu finished speaking, another person spoke. The person who spoke was wearing a thick blue cloth, but his every move was like a scholar.

If it’s not Cheng Yu, who is it!

"The Taizhong Doctor's words are a bit arbitrary!"

Arbitrary?

Jia Xu frowned, and then his wrinkles disappeared like a glacier!

"I don't know what good strategies the military advisor has, Jia Xu listened attentively!"

Cheng Yu bowed to Jia Xu and smiled: "Boy's false words, you should not be too high-ranking doctor to listen attentively!"

Cheng Yu was about to give a few compliments to Jia Xu, but Boss Cao refused!

I saw Boss Cao smacking his lips, rolling his eyes in his eyes, then waved to Cheng Yu, and said, "Zhongde, let's avoid these red tape first. Tell me about your plan first!"

Cheng Yu smiled awkwardly, bowed to Jia Xu, and did not dare to do anything else. He said honestly: "Lord, have you heard of the great commander-in-chief of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin?"

Cao Cao frowned and nodded immediately.

"I would like to ask my lord again, how much does the lord know about Sun Quan?"

Hearing Cheng Yu's question, Cao Cao's eyes drooped, and he obviously began to think about the problem.

Jia Xu smiled beside him, and there was a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Who is Zhou Gongjin and Sun Zhongmou?"

Cheng Yu smiled and obviously had already figured out the answer before asking these two questions!

"Sun Quan surrendered himself to endure humiliation, and was willing to be a plan. He was as strange as Goujian and as outstanding as a hero! Zhou Gongjin was very talented, was very arrogant, was brave, was brave, and was arbitrary and wise, and was outstanding as a hero. He was actually a genius."

"A person who compares Goujian, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, said that he was a genius. Is this evaluation too high?" Jia Xu said from the side.

Cheng Yu's eyes were shining. He stared at Jia Xu's eyes carefully and said, "Sun Quan is not as good as Goujian as a young man? Zhou Gongjin was the commander-in-chief of Jiangdong and killed Huang Zu in Jiangxia. Isn't he a genius?"

Hearing Cheng Yu say this, Jia Xu also remained silent. As for Cao Cao, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter!

"Zhongde has said a lot, but I wonder if there is a way to defeat the enemy?"

Cheng Yu took a step forward and said with a smile: "The strategy of breaking the enemy is as Taizhong Doctor said. Liu Bei poses a greater threat to his lord than Jiangdong, and he must be eliminated first. However, for Sun Quan, we cannot give him the opportunity to draw troops!"

Cao Cao looked confused and asked, "What Zhongde means to divide his troops? A powerful force attacks Chaisang while another army is going to encircle and suppress Liu Bei?"

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Our army is known as one million, but in fact there are nearly 400,000. If the surrendered troops in Xiangyang are added, it will be nearly 500,000, or 500,000. Even if the soldiers assigned to the various places are removed, the lord can mobilize more than 300,000 soldiers and 300,000 soldiers can be mobilized. Even if the troops are divided, it will be enough for them to suffer. What's more, our attack has a focus. Attacking Jiangdong and his group only requires 50,000 people from the headquarters of the general, and attacking Liu Bei will be 250,000!"

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be quite moved.

"Sun Quan will be fooled, will Zhang Liao's 50,000 troops be short of?"

Now it’s Xun You’s turn to speak.

"The General of the Cong Bandit is a wise general. Since he can snatch Xinye Fancheng from Guan Yunchang within three days, Jiangdong will naturally not dare to draw troops to help Liu Bei. If the lord is still worried, he can give the General of the Cong Bandit Bandit 10,000 naval troops and send Cai Mao as his deputy general. In this way, he will shock Jiangdong and there will be no change!"

Cao Cao nodded. After listening to the words of the three strategists, Cao Cao thought for a moment before he made his final decision: "The general of the bandit led 60,000 people, and the deputy general Cai Mao attacked Jingkou Chaisang, and gave him another thousand thunder bullets!"

The so-called thunderbolt is naturally made of gunpowder. The ancients always liked to give it a high-end name when they found something. Gunpowder had such power, so they were naturally called thunderbolt by Cao Cao!

Jia Xu helped his short beard under his jaw and couldn't help but nod. Jia Xu had seen the power of the thunderbolt bomb. With this thing in mind, there was really nothing to worry about in Jiangdong.

Then, there is only one problem left now!

How to deal with Liu Bei?

Xun You thought for a moment, but stood up first and said, "In dealing with Liu Bei, I only have one suggestion: hurry!"

"quick?"

Xun You nodded and said, "Just hurry, with lightning speed, you can take down Jiangling in one fell swoop. When Jiangling, Wuling, Guiyang Lingling and other places will weigh themselves carefully. At that time, the lord only needs to grant a high official and generous salary, and the four counties in Jingnan will surrender without fighting!"

Cao Cao nodded, but his expression showed nothing.

"Who thinks, who can be the pioneer?"

Jia Xu, Xun You and Cheng Yu looked at each other and took a step back, but Cao Ren came up to speak.
