The road is muddy and the autumn rain is endless, just like Cao Cao's mood at this moment, with sorrows of three thousand feet, and even the slashes are endless.

After the Jingzhou soldiers were almost dead, it had been two days since Cao Cao's troops stationed here, but the heavy rain still kept. This was completely different from Cao Cao's quick battle and decision. It would be strange if Cao Mengde was in a good mood.

So fewer people around Cao Cao have been around these days. Who would be willing to stay in front of an angry tiger at this time? If Boss Cao's head gets hot and cuts himself with a knife, there is no place to deal with it.

The rain continued, and the bowl of fish soup in front of Cao Cao had a layer of frozen fish on the surface. Cao Cao was not in the mood to drink fish soup at this time, but he was constantly searching for a box of bamboo slips in front of him. Seeing that his predecessors had encountered this situation, how to solve it.

Just as Cao Cao was searching, Xun You came in.

"Xun You pays homage to the lord!"

Cao Cao looked up and quickly pulled Xun You over and said anxiously: "Gongda, you are here just in time. Please help me find out if there is a key to solving the dilemma at this time."

Xun You smiled, bowed to Cao Cao, and said, "Lord, Xun You is not here to be a hard worker, it's something to do!"

Something is wrong?

Cao Cao put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said, "Who made a mistake in the camp?"

Cao Cao was idle and had nowhere to vent his anger. If someone bumped into him, he would be punished severely!

Unexpectedly, Xun You shook his head and handed the bamboo slips wrapped in white cloth in his hand to Cao Cao.

"Lord, the seventh prince asks for battle!"

Can Cang Shu ask for a fight?

Cao Cao frowned, his face a little surprised, but after being surprised, he disagreed.

"The generals are still unsolvable in military affairs. Can he, a child, have a way to defeat the enemy?"

Xun You smiled and said, "Is there a way to solve it? Your lord might as well finish reading the bamboo slips before talking about it."

When Cao Cao thought about it, he quickly unfolded the bamboo slips in his hand. At first glance, the style of the bamboo slips made Cao Cao's eyes brighter.

"I'm afraid it was a letter of request for battle that Zhou Buyi wrote!"

Xun You smiled but didn't say anything, just looking at Cao Cao. Sure enough, the more Cao Cao looked at the bamboo slips, the more smiles on his face changed. However, after his face changed, he was even more unbelievable.

"Is this so-called mortar really so mysterious in the letter?"

Xun You didn't laugh at this time. To be honest, Xun You also had some doubts in his heart.

In his letter of request, Zhou Buyi said that the power of the mortar was "ten dozens of times that of gunpowder" and the range was: "within a thousand steps, the bullet was shot without any flaws."

It should be noted that the maximum range of arrows is only more than 200 meters, and the range of lethality is probably only more than 100. Your mortar has a range of 1,000 meters. Who believes it?

But before Xun You saw the gunpowder, he didn't know the power of the gunpowder. Therefore, when he heard that the "mortar" was so powerful, Xun You didn't dare to say it too much. Moreover, the situation is stalemate, and Cao Chong and his party are nothing, so it's better to let the seventh prince come up, and maybe they can get the effect.

Even if the results are not achieved, it will not be harmful to Cao Jun for himself.

There is no harm in failure, but there is a benefit in success. Xun You naturally has to match Cao Chong with this matter.

"Lord, when gunpowder is unknown, how could we know that there is such a powerful weapon in the world? We have not witnessed this mortar with our own eyes. How could it be said that the Seventh Master is bragging about it?"

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, as if he was moved. Xun You continued to work hard and said, "Besides, even if the Seventh Prince fails, it will not be harmful to our army. If it is done, Wuling City will be destroyed. Xun You thinks that the lord should bet once."

bet?

How can one use a gambling word to describe the battlefield?

But Cao Cao did not say this, but nodded. He really couldn't stop taking risks. In Jiangdong's detailed work, information had been submitted. Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang seemed to have signed an alliance in Jiangdong. Sun and Liu were already in alliance. If they did not capture Liu Bei when the coalition forces united, then the situation would be a little more dangerous when the Sun and Liu coalition forces were in alliance.

Cao Cao was not afraid of the Sun and Liu coalition. In contrast, Cao Cao was more concerned about the situation in the north.

It would be fine if Jiangdong Jingzhou cannot be captured. If the foundation of the north is lost, then I will be like Yuan Shao?

This is an ending that Cao Cao would never accept.

"So I followed Cang Shu. If it was as he said, I would be rewarded!"

"promise!"

Xun You nodded and immediately went back to write a reply. At this time, Jia Xu was wandering at the door and finally hurried back before everyone paid attention.

As the autumn rain continued, two cavalry came out in sequence at the Cao Jun camp gate. Their direction was very consistent, and the destination was Jiangling.

That night, Cao Chong received a reply from Xun You and naturally smiled happily, and Cao Xiu also received a letter from Jia Xu!

"Please fight? Mortar?"

Cao Xiu's eyes flashed, and he was a little disbelief. Qiuyu marched, which was not in line with the art of war, and the mortar was really powerful?

Seeing Cao Xiu's face change, Zhao Tong took a step forward and asked, "What is the Taizhong Doctor saying?"

Cao Xiu looked at Zhao Tongyi and threw the bamboo slips over. Zhao Tongyi caught the bamboo slips and opened them to see them. His face changed rapidly.

"This, this..."

"Don't let me do this with you. What do you think about this?"

Zhao Tong put down the bamboo slips, his eyes a little distorted.

"What do you think of the general?"

Cao Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Please fight is a taboo for military strategists. I cannot sit idly by and naturally have to stop it. As for the mortar, if it has such power, it is a country's important weapon, and I will definitely not destroy it."

Zhao Tong showed a deep expression of agreement and even took a picture of a horse in front of Cao Xiu.

"General wise!"

After hearing this, Cao Xiu's mood changed a little, but he was not yet confused. Zhao Tong has always been his think tank. Now, Cao Xiu naturally wants to ask Zhao Tong for his opinion on this matter.

"How do you think Qu Wei?"

How to view it?

Zhao Tong pondered for a moment and said, "I thought I should go to war!"

Go to the battle?

"But the autumn rain is continuous and the road is difficult to walk, which is a taboo for military strategists!"

Zhao Tong shook his head and said, "The road is blocked, the march is difficult, and the military tactics are a big taboo. How could Cao Chong not know? But he faced the difficulties and the general did not find any abnormalities?"

Cao Xiu was also a little surprised by Zhao Tong's words.

Yes, the war ahead is stalemate, and now there is a continuous autumn rain. Will you go to the battlefield to play if you have nothing to do?

Cao Xiu didn't think there was anything to play with when there was a broken limb on the battlefield.

Zhao Tong saw Cao Xiu's expression and then guided him.

"In this way, what Cao Chong relies on is the sharp weapon of the mortar."

Cao Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Qu Wei thinks this weapon really has such power?"

Zhao Tong said with a wry smile: "I can't help but refuse to believe it."

After hearing this, Cao Xiu's eyes flashed, and his expression when he looked at Zhao Tong also changed a lot.

"What should Qu Wei think I should do in this situation?"

Zhao Tongyi smiled, his eyes a little cold.

"Since Mr. Cao Qi wants to make achievements with this, why can't the general use it to make achievements with this?"

Cao Xiu's eyes lit up and he said, "What does Qu Wei mean?"
