Chapter 18 I Want Jia Xu
Counselors are neither stupid nor unrighteous, it depends on whom they are righteous to.

If Cao Cao was really a thief, would there be so many people supporting him, would he be so powerful?
The shaping of literary and artistic works actually has a guiding role. Cao Cao has a large place and a large number of people. He may not represent orthodoxy, but he can completely represent the hearts of the people.

The people are the most precious, the society is second, and the monarch is the light.

So don't tell the common people what reason, they are the reason.

Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

It's been too long since the peace and prosperity, and they're tired of it.

As a result, the discussion came to an end, and Cao Cao also wanted to come to an end as soon as possible.

"Is there any result for today's discussion?"

"Prime Minister, we..."

Cheng Yu looked at the other advisers, "There is no conclusion yet."

That is to say, no one can convince anyone, this is no joke, we must convince everyone.

Counselors are for the sake of the overall situation. This Cao Cao knows that the natural danger of the Yangtze River is really difficult for people to choose.

But this time, Cao Cao didn't want to just harvest Jingzhou and leave. It was not easy to mobilize the army once, so he just felt that he was at a loss.

Glancing at his son, since his son's carelessness is the main battle, can there be a compromise?

"General Zhong Lang, what suggestion do you have right now?
"Suggestion? Father... Prime Minister, the last general has already told you gentlemen before."

"No, it's not for you to discuss. If you were the commander of the army, how would you choose to act?"

"Let the general speak?"

Cao Ang wondered, this still makes people live, it is obvious that so many experts are hesitant.

I understand, my father is asking his son to speak. Seeing that Cao Ang's intention to fight was so obvious just now, the suggestion he said must be the main battle, which is in line with Cao Cao's wishes.

In this way, Cao Cao is not going his own way...

All eyes were on Cao Ang again, he couldn't justify these people by citing scriptures other than raising an argument.

Therefore, Cao Ang knew that he could not say anything convincing.

"Then let me make a suggestion."

"Oh, tell me."

Cao Cao also wanted to see how his son would improve, and he didn't have to listen anyway if he didn't agree.

To fight, or not to fight, these are two extremes, no matter which end there are people who are not convinced.

Then Cao Ang can make a compromise, think of a way that can be accepted by both sides, and then discuss whether to fight or not.

"Now that the autumn harvest is over, it's time for food and grass to be abundant."

"And when the army goes out, food and grass cannot be transported in vain, and it is indeed a good time to start the war."

"Regardless of sending troops or not, Jiangling is newly established. Doesn't Soochow have any ideas?"

"If we don't send troops, what should we do if they attack and harass us while our foothold is not stable? You must know that Soochow is good at water warfare. If our army is harassed by water thieves, I'm afraid there will be no peace."

After saying this, Cao Cao seemed to have a little understanding of what Cao Ang was going to say: "Go ahead."

"So... don't talk about war or not, we have to be prepared."

"Let the army go forward and choose a place to build a water village, which can deter Jiangdong and prevent sneak attacks."

"If you decide to attack in the future, it can also become a stronghold for attack."

That's what Cao Ang planned. If the Battle of Chibi had to be fought, it was time to build a camp now.

Don't think that the camp can be built so quickly. If you want to build a strong camp that can be attacked and defended, it will take time and manpower.

As far as Cao Ang is concerned, he hopes to fight. Although he knows the ending in history, he has to be decisive.

Look at what era this is, just kidding, can you just stop fighting if you want?

If you don't fight now, there will be no chance for people to fight with you in the future, so you can't be hypocritical at this time.

Living in troubled times, he has no right to be hypocritical. If he can shorten the troubled times at the end of Han Dynasty, he is already a great benevolent person.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up: "Yes, let's build a camp first, this Jiangling is newly established and cannot be guarded."

Upon hearing this, the advisers also knew that Cao Cao wanted to fight.

First build a camp, and then step by step to that side, Cao Cao will become more and more determined.

Will you be able to persuade me then?

But they can't refute it now, they are still not getting a firm foothold in Jiangling, who knows what kind of spies are lurking here.

It is reasonable for the army to make a forward cover, and there is no reason to object to this.

Cheng Yu glanced at the other advisers, and they all nodded.

"General Zhonglang's art of war is rigorous, Prime Minister, we think it is feasible."

Now that Cheng Yu has said that, it is basically a certainty. He knows Cao Cao's mind best, and no one will object.

Unexpectedly, the eldest son of the prime minister knew so much about strategy, as if he had fought a lot in the past ten years.

Although the prime minister's sons were with him during the war, none of them could speak out when discussing decisions.

And only the eldest son... Many counselors feel that this is the eldest son.

"That's it, the location will be decided on another day, everyone will go back to rest today."

Then the matter is settled like this, whether to fight or not, we will see when the time comes.

The counselors dispersed, and they knew well that seventy to eighty percent of them had already left the battle.

"You stay!"

Cao Cao yelled when Cao Ang was about to leave.

When the counselors left, Cao Ang spoke first: "Father, can I ask my father for someone?"

Let's talk first, and if Cao Cao gets angry later, it will be difficult to talk about what happened today.

Cao Cao was stunned at this moment, he didn't expect his son to speak up about something first, he didn't think of those things today.

"Who... do you want?"

"Just an unusable person by my father's side, and a counselor in the prime minister's mansion."

"Who is it?"

"Mr. Wenhe."

At this time, Jia Xu stayed with Cao Cao after the Battle of Guandu, and Cao Cao also asked him for advice.

But the question was just a question, and he didn't pay much attention to it. For example, this time, Jia Xu meant not to go down the river.

From the perspective of future generations, Jia Xu may be right, but when it comes to war, no one dares to say [-]%.

"You want Jia Xu!"

Cao Cao's eyes widened, and he looked at his son with disbelief, "Do you know who he is?"

"Know……"

"At the beginning, he was the one who trapped you in Wancheng, and Dianwei, how dare you want him?"

That's right, the death of Cao Ang and Dian Wei in Wancheng was Jia Xu's scheme, but Cao Cao was so generous that he later accepted Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu to clear up his suspicions.

From this point of view, Cao Cao still has measure, even if it is pretending, he can keep pretending.

"Why don't you dare? Is it very important for Jia Xu to be with my father? I can't leave him? Then don't."

"No, I thought you would have something against him."

"Father is too worried. I am my father's son. Since my father can have this measure, I can't live without it."

"Well...well, not bad."

Cao Cao nodded, "You can let him enter your five-organ department. Anyway, there are no people in this five-organ department."

"Thank you father!"

At this time, is there no one in the Five Senses Department?
That's right, according to Cao Ang's memory now, it will take Cao Pi a few years to take up this position, so he will cut off the Hu first.
