When they heard that the fire had burned the arsenal, Xun You and Chen Lin were both worried, for fear that Cao Cao would faint again after hearing about this.

People in their fifties and have had problems with the trepidation before. If they faint a few more times, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But unexpectedly, Cao Cao just nodded gently this time. He tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table in front of him without saying much.

The atmosphere was silent and a little afraid of others, Xun You began to miss his uncle who was younger than him.

He is the one who knows Cao Cao's best. If he is there, he should be able to effectively persuade the Prime Minister.

Thinking of his uncle, his thinking slowly faded, and he thought of the uncle and nephew in Jiangdong who had trapped him.

Just two days ago, Lu Ji sent another letter.

The letter said that Sun and Liu had reached an alliance, and now Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were commanding, they began to prepare for a decisive battle, while Guan Ping led a commando to start moving towards Xiangyang, which was very likely to sneak into Xiangyang for damage.

Xun You and others cursed when they saw the letters - I'll go to yours, Guan Ping would almost mess up Jiangling, but Xiangyang was always calm. It seems that as Cheng Yu said, those who looked up to the court on the surface were actually their enemies.

Today, when Cao Cao heard that the arsenal was burned, he slowly took out the letter and held it in his hand.

"What do you guys think?"

This time, without Cheng Yu's words, Xun You has made a quick decision.

"Prime Minister, I thought it would be the opposite. I expected Sun Quan and Liu Bei were definitely worried that our army would attack along the Yangtze River and Han River, so he deliberately spread rumors to make the Xiangyang accident and delay Boran's march.

I thought that when Boran moved along the Han River first, mobilized the main force of the bandit army, our army then attacked along the Yangtze River and took Xiakou straight!"

Cao Cao's eyes were cold and shining, and he sneered:

"Zhongde's three strategies before..."

"My subordinates are guilty." Xun You hurriedly apologized.

Previously, Cheng Yu wanted to use Ma Liang to participate in the military, and Huang Zhong participated in the war to divide Cai Mao and win over the Jingzhou clans, but Xun You insisted that Ma Liang and Huang Zhong should not trust him easily. It happened that Huang Zhong beat Cao Hong again, and later it was naturally put on hold.

Now Cao Cao has begun to ease relations with Cai Mao, and Cao Cao is preparing to launch an attack along the Han River at the same time, which is particularly important to win over Ma Liang and Huang Zhong who hides in Xiangyang.

"A few days ago, Ma Liang followed Yunshan to Jiangling to deliver food. He only went to his private house to pay homage to Kuai Yidu. His interactions with Cai Mao were all in the public by the river. It can be seen that Ma Lianxin was in court and did not want to have too much connection with Cai Mao.

Yunshan was also quite loyal and brave. I heard from the long article that Guan Ping had attacked before, and he took the initiative to attack and fought with him.

The Prime Minister might as well give them a chance. If they can make great contributions, they will use this person. In this way, even if our army withdraws in the future, Cai Mao will not dominate Jingzhou!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He is now very troubled by Cai Mao. If he can make good use of Yunshan and Huang Zhong, it will be a huge victory to restrain the Sun and Liu coalition in the Hanshui area.

"According to Gongda's words, Yunshan was appointed as the captain of Li Feng and Ma Liang was appointed as the captain of Pinglu. He was controlled by Wen Qian and advanced rapidly to attack Sun Liu.

If you can win, you will definitely receive a reward!"

Li Feng's Captain and Pinglu's Captain were the official positions of Cao Ren and Le Jin in the past. It is not difficult to see Cao Cao's eager expectations for the two of them from this recognition of his fate.

If the two of them can win, General Sun and Liu will be forced to arrange a large army to defend against the Han River side. He can give full play to the advantages of his troops and launch an attack along the Yangtze River.

Cao Cao's tense expression began to relax a little bit, and all the dark clouds he had accumulated over the past few days were wiped out.

Cao Cao had suffered many defeats before, and even fell into desperate situations many times, but he was still the winner.

He believed that he would not escape his control this time.

Guan Ping returned from Jiangling with a full load, walked on the Xia River and turned into the Han River, and met Lu Gong who had been fighting there near Xianshan.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Lu Yi's already dark face was sunburned evenly, and there was even a little reflection from a distance, which made Guan Ping laugh out loud.

Lu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"What are you laughing at? You don't have to worry about eating and drinking in Jiangling. It's really difficult for us to come here."

After the mainland negotiated to block the Xia River, Zhao Yan sent a navy army to fight them many times.

Although Lu Yi's army was far superior to the Northern Army in water combat skills, Zhao Yan's best was to appease the people. He actually organized a powerful Jingzhou naval army to listen to it. Lu Yi suffered a great loss. If he hadn't run fast, he would have been expelled from this area.

"Fortunately, the arrangements of the young general were of great use..." Liu Dun said with a smile, "Otherwise, we can only go to Xiakou to stand by now."

Previously, the soldiers under Liang Qi were "dead" and were arranged to live and renovate land in the land belonging to the Ma family in Xianshan.

Le Jin's soldiers entered the vicinity of Xianshan again to collect corvee and food and were immediately attacked by these people. The barbarians in the Jingxiang area also began to attack Le Jin's subordinates frequently due to insufficient grain storage in winter. Le Jin was forced to exert his food again due to shortage of food. Zhao Yan was forced to distribute his food to Le Jin. His Jingzhou army was not distributed enough food enough, so naturally he was unwilling to chase Lu Yi.

Guan Ping breathed a sigh of relief and told Lu Yi and Liu Dun the news he found from Jiangling.

Hearing that Cao Cao had begun to prepare for a decisive battle, Lu Yi nodded quickly:

"The matter is urgent, and it's a blessing that Mr. Liu is here. I will talk about this matter first."

"General Sun is nearby?" Guan Ping said curiously.

This is almost starting to fight. Zhou Yu's navy must have been gathering in large numbers. Why is Sun Quan still wandering around the Han River area?

Lu Yi showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, as if he didn't want to tell the embarrassing thing, but he hesitated for a moment and whispered:

"I will not hide it from you and my friend in life and death - the Supreme Lord doesn't know who heard of it. There is a place where God is known on this Han River, and I am still searching carefully.

Alas, this, this..."

Lu Yi naturally didn't believe this, and he shook his head slowly while saying it, with a look of helplessness.

Guan Ping widened his eyes and thought to himself that Sun Quan would not be able to go there, but it was not a peaceful world there. If something happened there, it would be over.

However, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. Guan Ping wisely shut up and made an appointment with Liu Dun to wait until he returns to Xiangyang before he pretends to fight a battle.

"This time I must act like it." Guan Ping couldn't help but feel scared when he remembered the last battle. "Le Jin and Xu Huang were all experienced many battles, and it was as difficult as last time he dealt with Liang Qi."

Liu Dun patted his chest confidently and promised that there would definitely be no problem this time.

At that time, both sides will shoot in a rain of arrows first, and then Liu Dun will be defeated. The matter will naturally be that Guan Ping will chase them all the way, and both sides will fight a clumsy battle. At that time, the Wu army will eliminate some Cao army soldiers, and Guan Ping will capture a few Wu army ships, so it will be easier to deceive the Cao army generals who do not understand water war.

"Then I will thank Mr. Liu first." Guan Ping smiled confidently.
