Chapter 115
Cao Cao made sense when he heard it, but he still felt that Cao Ang's coming was a bit too abrupt.

"You just heard about this, so you concluded that Huang Gai wanted to swindle surrender? That's a Jiangdong veteran, who would believe him to swindle surrender?"

"As long as you fight hard enough and act well enough, people will believe that nothing is impossible in the world."

Cao Ang said indifferently, "Father, when I first came to Wulin, I actually used this trick."

"What, you also used this trick?"

"Yes, Shu'er never reported it. The situation was dangerous at that time. I brought a hundred thousand soldiers from Jingzhou to stabilize the situation..."

So, Cao Ang talked about his employment.

In that incident, Cao Ang did not report to Cao Cao that Zhang Yun's cooperation with the enemy led to the robbing of food and grass. Of course, what Zhang Yun communicated was not the enemy of Cao Jun, but the enemy of Cao Ang, but now Cao Cao probably understands.

The reason why he didn't say it at the time was because Cao Ang himself was among the hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers, so he had to be stable.

This statement is reasonable, and Cao Cao also recognized it: "So, you suspect that Huang Gai is a fraudulent surrender?"

"Yes, as my father said, who would believe that the elders of the three dynasties surrendered before fighting."

"But our army also sent people to the Soochow camp to confirm the matter, so what should we do?"

Sure enough, Cao Cao would confirm Soochow's news through Cai Zhong and Cai He, who also surrendered in the past.

But it was because of these two people that Cao Cao was really fooled. Zhou Yu didn't trust these two people at all.

How should I put it, Cao Ang can't directly deny them, they are red mouthed and white teeth, and the two sides are across the river, how do you know?

"It turns out that my father had planned a long time ago, and my son was overwhelmed. I just wanted to remind him. I never thought that my father's years of experience in the battlefield are unrivaled... But what if Soochow deceived even the people my father sent over?"

"Huh? Even if it's a false surrender, what can Huang Gai do?"

Cao Cao didn't believe it anymore, only 3 people came to Jiangdong after all the calculations, and Liu Bei didn't have enough teeth.

If you pretend to surrender, isn't that a self-inflicted trap?

Cao Cao simply said in more detail: "If the feigned surrender brought a fire boat, it happened that the southeast wind blew that night, and the boat took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire. It happened that there were flammable objects on board, and rushed all the way to our fleet connected by iron chains. inside……"

"hiss……"

Cao Cao followed Cao Ang's words and thought for a while, of course he understood what the consequences would be.

If Jiangdong really succeeded with this trick, then Cao Cao would be defeated this time in a very embarrassing situation. It is unknown how much he lost, and even Jingzhou would be snatched back by Soochow.

Cao Cao is a battle-hardened man, and he can rehearse that scene in his mind with a little thought.

"But... if Huang Gai sincerely votes and we don't accept it, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity?"

This also makes sense, Cao Ang is empty talk, so he dared to say that he was a false surrender, and no matter what conspiracy, you are Cao Cao's son, there is no possibility of turning your elbow, but you also lost a good chance to defeat Zhou Yu.

Although there are only tens of thousands of people in Soochow, they are very powerful on the water, so how can they get there?
Cao Ang knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, and Cao Cao had to be given a perfect solution.

Huang Gai had to accept the pitch, but he couldn't let their strategy succeed, it was too difficult...

"Father, my son has a plan to keep everything safe!"

"Oh, let's hear it."

Cao Cao is also skeptical, but doubt alone is not enough. Everyone knows the reason why you can't give up because of choking. If you doubt it and stop people from voting, it will be difficult in the future. How can anyone dare to take refuge in you?

As a patient with serious hypochondriacs, Cao Cao is actually more cautious than anyone else, but he needs to talk about evidence.

"The first thing is to be prepared. Father can let someone sink several iron cables under the water not far from the water village."

"If Huang Gai comes to land, it can't be a big boat. If there is any doubt at that time, use the big boat to pull the two sides, and the iron chain will cross the river..."

This was used as a line of defense to block, and Huang Gai and those Mengchong fighting ships could not get through.

And the iron chain is submerged in the water, and if it is not pulled, it can pass freely at ordinary times, without any hindrance at all.

Cao Cao thought for a while, then nodded: "This plan is feasible, but it must be kept secret, and I will send someone to do it."

"Also, father...if he pretends to surrender, then Zhou Yu's entire army will definitely be mobilized. We have to take advantage of such a good opportunity, so I want to ask my father to fight!"

"Oh, how to fight?"

"On the night of Huang Gai's feigned surrender, they will definitely attack with all their strength, not only on the water, but also divide into various routes to block our retreat route. Therefore, the camp must be empty and there will not be many defenders!"

"So that's the case, um..."

Cao Cao understood that this was a plan. If Soochow does not move, there will be no chance, but if they move, it will be a good opportunity!

The cleverness of this strategy is that it depends on who has the highest number of floors, this is the way to play advanced games.

Once the camp was burned, all the troops dispatched by Zhou Yu turned into ghosts and wild ghosts scattered outside. You will definitely not bring food and grass when you go out for a decisive battle. The food and grass are all in the camp.
After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao slapped the table: "This plan is feasible! Zixiu, how many people do you need, I will send them to you for my father."

Cao Ang shook his head: "No need, father, Wenpin has three thousand elite men, even though they are Jingzhou soldiers, we must give them the opportunity to make meritorious service, and we should not have too many people in the past, in case Huang Gai is Did it really drop?"

"Well, it makes sense. If Zixiu thinks those Jingzhou soldiers are trustworthy, let them go."

Cao Cao also wanted to understand, anyway, it is more insurance, "The date of Huang Gai's surrender has not yet been set, but I will let you know, remember, don't move lightly, after confirming Huang Gai's false surrender, he will attack the camp! "

"understand!"

……

This matter was resolved smoothly, and at least the safety of the 10,000+ Cao army could be guaranteed.

The surrender Cao Cao hoped for would not happen, but Cao Ang gave a very convincing solution.

But before Cao Ang left, Cao Cao called Cao Zhi into the tent again.

"Zijian, do you know why my father always brings you with him every time he goes out to battle?"

"Father... wants us to be familiar with the war, and now the world is uncertain, this is the first responsibility of a man!"

"You also know the responsibility of a man, why did you do such a thing?"

"Father, what's the matter?"

Cao Zhi panicked, he had a premonition that Zhang Yun's incident might be exposed.

In fact, Zhang Yun's matter was handled by Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu told Cao Zhi that it had been done. Zhang Yun would plead guilty to all the charges, and Yang Xiu assured Zhang Yun's family that there seemed to be no flaws in the matter.

But who doesn't know Cao Cao's control power, it is very difficult to hide from him the affairs of the world, let alone the affairs of the army.

"Why do you dare to ask, Zhang Yun alone can afford the crime of collaborating with the enemy?"

"Father, I don't know about this matter."

do not know?
Of course Cao Cao didn't believe it, but Cao Zhi was not here to convict him. Now that the enemy is at hand, the main purpose is to warn him that it's best not to do anything else, otherwise the impact will be too great if he comes up with something tricky.
