In Jiangling City, Cao Cao received a letter from Le Jin and felt a headache again.

The matter between the Northern Army and the Jingzhou Army has not been resolved yet, and Le Jin actually started a fuss with Zhao Yan again.

To be fair, Cao Cao still supports Zhao Yan very much. He has been preparing for this battle for so long, so he must be very cautious when the arrow is on the string.

"Even if Yunshan's troops are completely wiped out, it is not advisable to send troops rashly." Cao Cao murmured, "However, you still have to give Wen Qian some face. Gong Ren, if you write a letter for Gu, he will denounce Boran, he will naturally know what to do."

Dong Zhao nodded slowly, and Cao Cao turned his gaze to Chen Qun's face beside him.

"Longwen, Yunshan was driven by you before. How do you think this person is better than Guan Ping?"

"Ah? Ahhh..." Chen Qun was wandering in a daze, and when he heard Cao Cao ask, his hair was standing up all over his body.

He lied that he commanded Yunshan to counterattack Guan Ping that night, in order to cause less trouble for himself, but he did not expect that a lie would require more lies to fulfill, so he could only pretend to be familiar with Yunshan:

"Yunshan is young and has great courage. He has some tricks in water and foot battles, but he has less experience in his mind and character. He is not good at archery and horses and strategies, and is very embarrassing and embarrassing and useless."

Chen Qun is well aware of his speaking skills in front of Cao Cao.

He first talked about Yunshan's ability, saying that it was useless, so that he could appear to be good at scheduling, put useful people in suitable places, and also seemed selfless and did not try to praise his former subordinates.

Le Jin said that Yunshan was arrogant and brave enough to attack Xiakou. Now, it is almost impossible to kill the Sun and Liu coalition forces. His previous small problems will naturally not be exposed after he dies, and there is no need to waste spitting on this person.

If Chen Qun guessed, Cao Cao nodded repeatedly when he heard this and said with a smile:

"It's better to know people with long writing and wise eyes. If it were someone else, how could you find such a person from the person who escorted food and grass? Well, that's right, using those grains to make friends with this person is enough to show the long writing skills.

Alas, I have been eager to seek talented people over the years, and I only hope that the Lords can find some heroes from the grass. They must also be willing to put down their figure like long articles to share the worries of the court.”

All the staff bowed and said they were taught, and Chen Qun felt even more proud.

Yunshan is good at it, but he is too reckless. Although Cao Cao has been a ranger for several years, he looks down on such a person from the bottom of his heart.

He received the reward from Cao Cao, and he paid only some military rations. In the future, he could further explore "talents" in the name of Cao Cao's teachings and lead the "grasslander" who is kind to him into the court little by little. When everyone tastes the sweetness, they will naturally worship me.

Alas, Yunshan is really a noble person.

Seeing Chen Qun's proud look, Chen Lin felt unhappy.

He was the chief clerk of General He Jin many years ago. Later, due to well-known reasons and his Xuzhou native, he could only be an aide under Cao Cao's account and would not have much authority.

Seeing Chen Qunchun's proud look, he felt so unhappy and said casually:

"Why didn't the long article leave behind this young hero and recommend it to the Prime Minister?"

Chen Qun laughed:

"I want to leave this person under the tent to listen to it, but the young man is quite loyal and righteous. He said that he was recommended by Wen Qian and must go back to report the letter, and I will no longer force him."

Cao Cao frowned, and his expression suddenly became a little more lonely.

He had thought Yunshan was just a brave man, but now he heard from Chen Qun that this person is still a hero who values ​​righteousness and neglects death.

He remembered the arrogant and arrogant warrior who killed Yan Liang casually. He wanted to keep Guan Yu under his command, but money, official position and future prospects could not shake this man with a firm will. This made Cao Cao feel depressed and he kept thinking about him.

After all, people will often miss things that they cannot get.

"So, Yunshan is a talent." Cao Cao said, "Who was not young when he was not in a rogue situation, and he could learn archery and horses, and military strategies. When Zi Xiao and Zi Lian followed Gu, he was a lie in the village and did not understand military strategies at all. Gu compiled military books and ordered him to study them. After years of hard fighting, he was also a powerful general in the side.

Only this...this..."

All the generals of the Cao family were used to looting, and Cao Hong even had all five poisons, so he told Cao Cao that he could not change it.

I haven't had such a sincere teenager for a long time.

Everyone sighed for a moment.

Cao Cao came back to his senses from the past and began to ask everyone to report his current preparations for the Eastern Expedition to him.

Dong Zhao told Cao Cao with a frown that there were serious problems with the equipment of the navy. The fire had burned a lot of arrows before, but their speed of rushing to control was too slow, which had seriously affected the progress of the Eastern Expedition. Dong Zhao even pessimistically believed that it would take at least one month for them to collect 100,000 arrows, which was a bit embarrassing.

There is no difference between no bows and arrows in the water battle and Baisui. Cao Cao was very dissatisfied and asked about the current amount of arrows. Dong Zhao plucked up the courage to repay a million, but told Cao Cao that more than half of the arrows were in the hands of Cai Mao.

"Can't wait, gather all the craftsmen in the military camp and let... let Zhongde speed up the supervision. Whoever dares to slack off will definitely be killed."

"Do you want Cai Mao to hand over some of the arrows?"

"No need." Cao Cao said decisively, "I have to add some arrows to him. This water battle depends entirely on him, and I must not be separated from the Jingzhou army!"

Even though that was said, Cao Cao was still quite superior, and he murmured:

"It seems that we will delay the spring and flowers bloom before sending troops."

He was about to dismiss everyone, but Xu Chu came in to report to Cao Ren for advice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Ren pushed Xu Chu away impatiently and came in from outside.

Xu Chu frowned slightly, shouted rudely, and grabbed Cao Ren's right arm. His thick arm exerted force suddenly and pulled Cao Ren out of the room. Cao Ren was so angry that he screamed.

"Let me go, dog thing!"

Cao Ren cursed, but Cao Cao had no choice but to get up in person, walked to the door, and said in a cold voice:

"Zixiao, do you want to rebel?"

Cao Ren glanced at Xu Chu hatefully and said in a hoarse and slightly excited voice:

"Prime Minister, Wen Qian is here to send a letter!"

"So what's wrong?" Cao Cao began to have a headache again, thinking that he had just sent a letter to Zhao Yan before, but this time he did something.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was shocked to see that the short Le Jin was actually kneeling beside Cao Ren, looking at him with a eager face.

"Wen, Wen Qian, what happened?"

Cao Cao did not dare to neglect Le Jin to get here in Xiangyang. He quickly led Le Jin and Cao Ren into the house. All the strategists surrounded him, knowing that something big happened.

Le Jin was panting. When he saw Cao Cao, he had tears in his eyes and said:

"Prime Minister! Our powerful general Yunshan has already captured Shiyang and surrounded Xiakou. Zhao Yan refused to send troops. Le Jin is incompetent. Please ask the Prime Minister and ask the Prime Minister to send troops quickly. Don't miss the opportunity!"

Surrounding Xiakou?

Cao Cao was shocked and thought he had heard it wrong.

Le Jin choked and said, "Sun Quan wanted to attack Xiangyang while the Prime Minister's army was not there, but was intercepted by Tanzhi and Huang Hansheng. Our army fought bloody battles and repelled Sun Quan and pursued Shiyang. Tanzhi captured the fierce soldiers under Liu Bei's command Ren alive, Huang Zhong retreated to Guan Yu. Our army was extremely powerful and surrounded Xiakou. Liu Bei was in panic all day long, and all the reinforcements in Jiangdong were accused of."

"But that guy Zhao Yan said that this was Liu Bei's trick and should not be trusted easily and would never send troops to rescue him.

The last general is incompetent and can only ask the Prime Minister to send troops. If the Prime Minister refuses to send troops, the last general will kneel down and die here. Please ask the Prime Minister to order quickly!"

What a mountain of clouds!

Although Cao Cao had some expectations for Yunshan, he did not expect that he could actually capture Shiyang, capture Shiren, and besiege Xiakou.

This boy is passionate and has such a good skill and courage!

Cao Cao's ambition suddenly rose, and he slowly helped Le Jin up and said slowly:

"This is true?"

"Take it seriously! Zhao Yan arranged most of the spies in the army to escape to death, how can there be falsehood? Yunshan lacks soldiers and major generals. If Liu Bei breaks through the siege, he will ask the Prime Minister..."

"No need to say it." Cao Cao's face showed a rare look of perseverance. "Gong Ren, just said how long will our army be prepared?"

Dong Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "At least, at least one month."
