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

Chapter 57
Cao Ang was told by Jia Xu that Monk Zhanger couldn't figure it out, and the increase of troops on the opposite side had nothing to do with his grand plan.

"Sir, you mean that if you can fight one more time, you can get more credit? But I don't know who is here."

"Young master, no matter who it is, just listen to me."

Jia Xu finally sat down, "I didn't agree with sending troops to Soochow at this time, but the prime minister didn't listen to me, but this may be an opportunity. If the prime minister fails to send troops, you will have a chance."

"Father can't send troops...how could he not send troops?"

"Of course it's because the water village has not been built, and the construction period has been delayed."

It turned out to be this idea, which is a bit interesting, and it sounds like it was deliberately going against Cao Cao.

But Cao Ang would not suspect that Jia Xu was selling private goods, because Jia Xu didn't want to be too top-notch, so he casually expressed his opinion to Cao Cao, and whether Cao Cao accepted it or not, he would not say a word again.

It doesn't matter to Jia Xu whether he fights Soochow or not. He no longer wants to fight for fame under Cao Cao.

If Cao Ang hadn't brought him here, Jia Xu would have planned to eat and wait to die.

He knew very well that even if Cao Cao was defeated, no one could shake him.

But the current suggestion is very interesting. If it were Cao Cao, he would definitely be suspected of saying so.

Even Cao Ang, if he didn't know those historical trends, would doubt Jia Xu's plans for private goods. What do you mean by beating around the bush and not letting Cao Cao send troops? Would you be interested in Soochow?
However, he actually said this in front of Cao Ang, and it's hard to say whether he was deliberately probing.

Jia Xu wants to try, is Cao Ang as suspicious as Cao Cao?
"I understand... What you mean, sir, has been keeping Soochow in check, and my father's army can't come, so I'm the only one who can show it?"

"That's exactly the case. Using troops against Soochow can achieve certain results without resorting to violence."

"Perhaps it can lead to some peace talks?"

"Yes, any war must have an ending. The best ending with Soochow is that both sides don't have to lose too much, and at the same time let Soochow make concessions, and achieve a result that the prime minister can accept."

This is a strategic setting by Jia Xu, and it is in Cao Ang's best interest to create such a situation.

If Cao Cao came and crushed, then Cao Ang would definitely not get much benefit.

But if Cao Cao is defeated, Cao Ang will not get much benefit, and it is not easy to mention to Cao Cao even if he has made meritorious service.

What if...the battle situation presents an intermediate state?

It's just fighting, the two sides have negotiated peace, and Sun Quan admits it!
"It's not that there is no chance. Now that the Soochow forces are restrained by my many troops, I doubt where they got reinforcements from. But if I can find a breakthrough from Chibi, I might as well do something."

"My lord, Soochow is the most confident in water warfare in Chibi. They are naturally willing to fight here, but for you, it is much more difficult. After all, water warfare is indeed the director of Soochow."

Once the strategy is set, it depends on how the tactics are implemented. It is a bit difficult to make them submit with a water battle in Soochow...

It sounds ridiculous to others, but when Jia Xu said that, Cao Ang actually thought it was very possible!

Because history is a lesson...

It is impossible for Soochow to deal with Cao Ang with all its strength. There are restraints everywhere, so they can only use fueling tactics.

As long as Cao Ang wins a battle here, they will send some troops and let a general come over to deal with it.

They dare not attack Cao Ang with all their strength, because Cao Cao will definitely copy their hometown!

"Interesting, it's like opening a hole under a pool, and the water will slowly flow away!"

Cao Ang became excited, now is the time to show his strength, but there are still problems, "If the construction period is delayed, what should I do if my father blames me?"

Jia Xu's eyes rolled: "Whatever you are afraid of, it's not that the young master has never been robbed of food and grass."

"Sir, you mean, they...will try to influence me?"

"Now they don't dare to make any more moves for the time being, we can do it ourselves."

As expected of a poisoner, this person is really bad.

Of course Cao Ang understood, if he did anything here, Cao Zhi would be responsible anyway.

What to do if the construction period is delayed, that is, the person who leaked the secrets last time and caused the loss of food and grass has started to harm me again.

Anyway, it was done by insiders, so I can't deal with it unless you, Cao Cao, do it.

The more delay here, the bigger the blame on Cao Zhi's side...

"The method is good, but how can we keep it secret? Sir, last time, even Zhang Yun was persuaded. I am all Jingzhou soldiers here. Who can guarantee that there will be others who will not be persuaded and cause trouble behind the scenes?"

"As long as you don't say your purpose, you will keep it a secret. As for affecting the construction period...can't the Soochow Army on the other side do it?"

It makes sense, there is nothing to say about deliberately releasing water.

For example, if Cao Ang deliberately let the people on the other side rob his food and grass, he said that someone leaked the secret and planted it on Cao Zhi...

This old guy's tricks are all ruthless, Cao Ang really thinks that the title of Poisoner is not for nothing.

"Sir, in this case, we have to win the opponent with real swords and guns."

"Then you must win. There is no shortcut in this matter. Young master, if you want to get more credit, you must be able to win first!"

Tactics can be amazing, but in fact, if you don't have the strength, you can't take shortcuts every time.

It takes hard work to strike iron. If you don't have this ability, don't talk about conspiring with Jiangdong.

Cao Ang decided to try, but this affected Cao Cao's plan, and it was still a bit dishonest after all.

"Sir, if my father's plan is delayed, wouldn't it be... not good?"

"My son's words are wrong. If the prime minister comes in person, the army will definitely sweep Jiangdong. At that time, countless casualties will also hurt the people's roots."

Jia Xu became serious at this time, "I am very compassionate, but the Prime Minister will lose a lot in this battle, and he may not even be able to win."

"If the young master can disintegrate it without having to start a big war, it will be a merit."

"My lord, the world must be unified, but the time has not yet come."

If Cao Cao was listening to Jia Xu's words, he would doubt them again.

But Cao Ang knew that now that Liu Bei and Sun Quan were going to conspire, Cao Cao might not be able to fight with two 10,000+ people.

Even if Cao Cao saw through the battle of Chibi, he would not necessarily win if he really went to fight for each city.

Who are the opponents, Zhou Yu under Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang under Liu Bei, and so many famous generals...

Jia Xu's calculations are justified, obviously the time has not come yet.

Cao Ang accepted this statement, so let's spend a little time in Chibi and Jiangdong first.

If it really consumes enough energy to make Jiangdong succumb, or at least say something soft to Cao Cao, that would be a great achievement.

Cao Ang knew that when Cao Cao came down in history, many of Sun Quan's counselors wanted to surrender, and Sun Quan himself hesitated...

"In this case, sir, please help me win every battle."

"Eldest Young Master, there is no need to worry. If we lose, we can withdraw, and the prime minister's army will not go back in vain. There will still be opportunities in the future."
