Three Kingdoms: Cao Chong's will, in fact, my eldest brother is not dead!

Chapter 36

Cao Ang was puzzled, but he would not ask Cai Mao in front of him, so he nodded to Cai Mao.

Since Jia Xu wants to do this, he must have his reasons, let Cai Mao carry it out first, and then ask.

When Cai Hao went out, Cao Ang couldn't help asking: "Sir, why is this so?"

"Eldest son, what do you think will happen to Lu Meng if we force him?"

"He... will ask for help. After all, he only brought more than a thousand people."

Lu Meng's more than 1000 people are actually quite a lot. Let Cai Mao go, and there are only a few thousand elites in his headquarters who can fight.

Is it nonsense to claim that a [-] army can only take out a few thousand people to fight?

Of course not, any battle requires logistics, civilian cooperation, etc., plus exaggerated parts.

In addition, Zhang Yun wanted to ensure that the fleet behind continued to transport supplies, and he had to bring thousands of troops from the headquarters to guard the transportation line.

That's it, it's not necessarily stable.

Thousands of people are against more than 1000 people. If they fight hard, the opponent's defense is actually [-]-[-].

Of course, some soldiers brought to build the camp can also join the elite to fight together. This is the real battle, and it can be increased to tens of thousands of troops. But now these soldiers need to build a larger camp to wait for Cao Cao's main force.

"If he asks for help, does the eldest son think we should be afraid?"

"How to put it, after all, he is threatening on the other side. If the sneak attack succeeds, we will be under pressure to build the village."

"No, he won't make a move. Even with more troops facing each other across the river, it's impossible to make a move."

Jia Xu said with a smile, "If you take action against Jingzhou's surrendered troops, the loss of Soochow is unacceptable. Their enemy is the prime minister."

Cao Ang suddenly understood, yes, what they are going to deal with is Cao Cao's army, and the Jingzhou army is a surrendered army. If they fight, they will definitely lose a lot, but Cao Cao is not damaged at all. What good is there?

Looking at that Zhou Yu, at first he was thinking of instigating against Cai Hao and Zhang Yun's navy, but he obviously felt that it was unnecessary to fight.

Do you think playing games starts from being a kid?
A true wise general will definitely reduce his own losses, focusing on the key points. After all, the losses are not the blood bars in the game, but the living soldiers. These are the solid foundations of Soochow!

"Sir, what you mean is to let them bear more losses!"

The more troops outside, the greater the consumption, and the farther the troops are sent, the greater the consumption.

Cao Ang thought that Jia Xu's intention was to consume Soochow's food and grass troops to a greater extent and make them exhausted.

However, Jia Xu thinks further.

"My lord, let me be a little tricky first, and you will naturally see the beauty in the future."

……

The news that Cao Ang led the navy to station in Chibi naturally spread to Soochow, and Sun Quan began to be under great pressure.

Of course, before the time when Cao Cao's army came under pressure, no one in Soochow was in danger.

"This Cao Cao... still has an eldest son, is he still alive?"

"My lord, now Cao Cao's intentions are becoming clearer. What he wants is Jiangdong."

Zhou Yu said, "The [-] Jingzhou navy sent to build the camp in advance is just a gesture."

Speaking of the Jingzhou navy, Sun Quan was a little disdainful: "What is a [-] navy? I don't know how many troops there are in Jingzhou? It's just that Cao Cao...has he made up his mind? What do you think, Gongjin?"

"My lord, I don't know what Cao Cao thinks, I only know that Cao Ang doesn't seem to be simple."

"To beat him with the [-] Jingzhou navy... isn't it worthwhile for us?"

Sun Quan also felt the same way, it was too easy for Cao Cao to attack Jingzhou, and there were so many surrendered troops for no reason.

Now that an order is issued, the descending army will threaten Soochow, and Cao Cao will not feel bad if he is beaten to death.

Moreover, if these Jingzhou troops were destroyed, and Jingzhou's territory would be aroused even greater anger in turn, they could still recruit a team to join forces with Cao Cao, and their will to fight would be even stronger.

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Yu thought, we can't fight now, we just need to send someone to keep an eye on them."

Sun Quan was still in a dilemma: "If we don't fight now, will Cao Cao send his troops south after the camp is built?"

"My lord, if Cao Cao sends his army southward, there is no need to send this army here first."

"Yes, Gong Jin thought why Cao Cao took this step?"

"That's because Cao Cao didn't make up his mind completely, or he didn't reach an agreement among his counselors."

"Then...how can we make Cao Cao dispel this idea?"

As Soochow, their military strength is definitely not comparable to Cao Cao, even if they don't claim to be a million-strong army, they can't compare.

Even these Jingzhou troops can openly compete with the Soochow army [-]-[-].

I can't beat you in Jiangdong and Jingzhou, but it's impossible for you to beat me. It's a balance of power.

So they don't care about Cao Ang's army, and they will definitely not be able to defeat Soochow.

How to make Cao Cao stop thinking about this, in fact, Zhou Yu has been thinking about it.

"My lord, Chibi will temporarily increase its troops to prevent Cao Ang from acting rashly. We can increase some miscellaneous soldiers."

"Well, it's good to deter him, at least give him the feeling of being alone."

There are not many elite soldiers, but there are many miscellaneous soldiers. They can be recruited casually without training.

As long as you put so many people on the battlefield, it is actually a deterrent. Not only will the enemy be afraid, but your own people will also have confidence when they look at it.

Therefore, Jia Xu's clever plan is here.

If the elite soldiers of Soochow wanted to prevent Cao Cao from breaking through, they could only recruit a lot of miscellaneous soldiers, claiming to have hundreds of thousands of armored troops.

In fact, Cao Cao was the one who really had hundreds of thousands of standing troops during the Three Kingdoms period.

To add one more point, Cao Cao can actually pull up a million troops, but the territory is too large, how could Cao Cao bring them all over.

What Jia Xu wants is to increase troops from the Eastern Wu, but he has no actual combat effectiveness.

This point is much more experienced than Cao Ang, since the enemy has reached the other side of the river, how can we not put some pressure on them, so as not to make them comfortable.

After Zhou Yu saw Sun Quan nodding, he thought about it again.

"My lord, if you can't get rid of Cao Cao's idea, he will really come."

"What does Gongjin mean?"

"My lord has many famous people under his command, and Cao Cao is very powerful. There will be people who will be afraid at that time, so the lord should be prepared first."

"Gong Jin means that Cao Cao will really come?"

Who is not afraid, Sun Quan himself is also afraid. With Cao Cao's style of fighting in these years, he can be said to be decisive and resolute.

When Cao Cao's army goes down the river, the comparison of strength seems to become an easy math problem, and everyone can calculate it.

Zhou Yu sighed, it seems that the lord is really scared.

Although Cao Cao praised that "having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou", in fact, Sun Quan's bravery cannot be compared with his brother and his father.

Sun Jian and Sun Ce were aggressive, but no matter how well he performed when he came to Sun Quan, he was actually useless.

Is it that easy to stick to the family business?

It is said that Liu Chan is useless, but in fact, how strong is Sun Quan? They are all the same and want to be safe.

Zhou Yu sighed and said, "It's not clear yet, so it's hard to say, my lord should be prepared."

"Gong Jin, how about... let's take down Cao Ang in one fell swoop and threaten Cao Cao, okay?"
