Chapter 12
Xuchang, Sikong Mansion.
Ever since Cao Jian followed Xiahou Dun's army to the battle,
Boss Cao, the old father, has been a little nervous:
I'm afraid that this fledgling future heir of the Cao family will have an accident?
On the other hand, he is also a little worried, afraid that he will do something to himself!
"Zixiong had always lived a life of luxury and had never travelled far before!
I wonder if he can adapt to this long journey and going to war with the army?"
"It's still too much of a stretch to have only 30,000 troops as the vanguard to attack Lu Bu!
The follow-up troops still need to catch up in time, and I should lead them personally to avoid any accidents.……"
"I just don't know how the subsequent military rations and troops are being prepared now?"
After complaining in his heart,
Boss Cao quickly summoned Xun Yu and Xun You to come over and ask them about the preparations for the subsequent expeditionary troops.
As the second in command of Cao Ying, Xun Yu is as talented as Xiao He.
He has never disappointed Boss Cao about logistics!
Faced with the inquiry, he quickly gave Boss Cao the answer he wanted:
"My Lord! Don't worry about the food and grass!
According to my estimation, in addition to the reserve food and necessary soldiers to defend the city, each place can support an additional 30,000 troops, at least half a year's expenses! If the war goes well? It should be enough to conquer Lu Bu.……"
After hearing this, Boss Cao smiled and nodded:
"good——!"
"Gongda, how are you doing?
Is there any latest news from the front?
Calculating the time, the vanguard troops should have arrived in Xuzhou, right?
Have they started fighting with Lu Bu? How was the outcome?"
Master strategist Xun You cupped his hands and replied:
"My Lord!
According to the latest intelligence, the vanguard troops have indeed arrived in Xuzhou.
However, there has been no fighting for the time being."
As soon as the voice fell, Boss Cao couldn't help but frowned:
"Oh? Why is that?
Could it be that the vanguard troops are afraid of Lü Bu's bravery and dare not fight?"
Hearing this, Xun You hurriedly shook his head and explained:
"No! According to the letter from the Second Young Master and Feng Xiao, it was to seize Xuzhou by strategizing!"
After that, he quickly repeated the plan made by Cao Jian and Guo Jia.
After hearing it, Boss Cao chewed it carefully and couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed:
"OK——!"
"I never thought that my son, facing such a powerful enemy like Lu Bu, would not only not be afraid at all during his first expedition, but also be able to come up with such a brilliant plan? He even dared to pull teeth out of a tiger's mouth and take chestnuts out of the fire? It is really gratifying!"
After hearing this, Xun Yu could not help but admire it greatly:
"The second young master is both brave and resourceful, which is rare in the world!
This ingenious plan is so well calculated that even Fengxiao and Gongda would be ashamed of themselves, right?"
Xun You thought about it, and did not deny it. Then he laughed dumbly and said:
"The Second Young Master's plan is indeed extraordinary!
Although Feng Xiao's assistance may be indispensable, if you ask yourself, even if it is me, facing such a difficult opponent like Lu Bu, I may not be able to come up with a better plan in a short time.……"
After hearing this, Boss Cao laughed out loud!
Seeing that the two top military and political advisers he relied on the most had such an evaluation of Cao Jian?
As a father, he was so happy!
That undisguised smile was clearly as if he was showing off:
He, Cao Mengde, gave birth to a good son with natural talent!!
Even though he was extremely happy in his heart, he pretended to deny it and said:
"Wen Ruo and Gong Da, you are praising me too much! Although
Zi Xiong has shown some talent, he is still far from worthy of such high praise!
Although the plan is brilliant, it is not easy to implement.
Moreover, Lu Bu has Chen Gong as his strategist, so he may be able to see through it!
Any link may fail if there is a little variable!
Can we achieve some results in the end? It is hard to say now.……"
Xun Yu and Xun You smiled and said nothing after hearing this.
After a tacit understanding of each other's sedan chair, Boss Cao naturally became more concerned about the safety of his beloved son Cao Jian, who had been a playboy for many years and suddenly transformed into a world-class genius!
After a brief discussion with Xun Yu and his nephew, he couldn't help but say solemnly:
"Zixiong is still too young after all!
Therefore, to ensure that there is no risk of error, we must completely eliminate Lu Bu in one fell swoop!
Our follow-up troops should still follow the plan and go to the Xuzhou battlefield as soon as possible!"
"Wenruo, Gongda, you guys should get ready as soon as possible!"
"Three days later at the latest, I will personally lead 30,000 follow-up troops to Xuzhou!"
After hearing this, Xun Yu and Xun You did not point out the decision of this protective lord.
After agreeing repeatedly, they all took the order and left.
…………
Inside Xuzhou City.
Unlike the laughter and joy in Cao's camp, the atmosphere on Lu Bu's side at this time seemed unusually depressing and heavy! When
Lu Bu saw the secret letter sent by Gao Shun, he was so angry that his face turned green!
He was so angry that he suddenly"slapped" the table in front of him and smashed it to pieces, and shouted angrily:
"Cao thief, how dare you do this?"
"And Liu Bei, that big-eared thief, is even more abominable!
I was so kind to let him stay in Xiaopei!
How dare he collude with Cao Cao to plot against Xuzhou?!"
"This is outrageous! This is simply too much!!"
"Cao thief, big-eared thief!
I swear to kill you to vent my hatred.——!!!"
