Cao Chong looked at the civil servants and military generals in the lower head, his mouth moved lightly, and he also said something.

"Everyone, Xiakou displays our army's 200,000 troops, and everything in the army is urgent. Do you have any plans to defeat the enemy?"

Cao Chong said that there were 200,000 troops stationed in Xiakou, but it was not a false report. In fact, the number of Cao troops stationed in Xiakou was not only 200,000, but also tens of thousands more than 200,000.

Of course, more than 100,000 of them were auxiliary soldiers and could not go to war. Most of these auxiliary soldiers were elderly, weak and disabled, and they actually did not play any role in fighting.

What's more, they also included the Jingzhou navy and the craftsmen who repaired these warships.

In terms of equipment, as early as the beginning of the year, Cao Cao began to cast large ships. The tower ship was three stories high. If this tower ship was sailing on the river, at a glance, those who didn't know would think it was a giant beast on the river!

There are only four or five tower ships in Jiangdong, while there are even fewer one on Cao Cao's side. In total, there are only three ships, one of which is in Xiakou and the other two are in Wulin.

It’s not that Cao Cao didn’t want to build more big ships. It’s really that these big ships are money-burning things. This three-story big ship requires thousands of gold. If only this money is enough, Cao Cao can still take it out. The key is that it also requires manpower and material resources, which is something that Cao Cao can’t take out.

There were many wars in the north, and starving people were everywhere, and the people were living in poverty. After Cao Cao basically unified the north, he was vigorously developing the economy and developing people's livelihood. Originally, Xuanwu Pond and Tongquetai consumed a lot of people's wealth. If it took too much people's strength to build a large ship, it was a situation that Cao Cao did not want to see, so there were only three large ships of Cao Cao, and there were many small ships. Of course, compared with Jiangdong, Cao Cao still had many disadvantages.

The most obvious point is that on the surface of Xiakou, most of the river sections are ships of the Jiangdong Navy, and the Jingzhou Navy's warships were even forced into the river port, which was very desolate and down.

After Cao Chong asked this, the person in the next head immediately started arguing.

At that time, a dark man more than seven feet tall took a step forward. The dark man was wearing Qu Wei's armor and strong Kongwu all over his body. He was a soldier under Zhang Liao's command.

This person is a powerful general from Xiliang. He is very popular among Zhang Liao's troops.

"I report to the General of the Central Army, and the General of the Last Army is willing to receive thousands of troops from the headquarters. General of the Central Army only needs to give me a few warships. I will definitely be able to make a way for General of the Central Army and for the General!"

The reckless man was getting more and more excited when he spoke, and his saliva exploded like a machine gun.

After hearing the words of the barbarian general, Cao Chong smiled on his face.

"Okay, okay, our army has such a strong soldier, why worry about not being able to defeat the Jiangdong child!"

The barbarian general naturally felt very happy when he heard Cao Chong praising him like this, and he looked a little satisfied on his face. He raised his head slightly and bowed to Cao Chong, "Since that's the case, let General Mo kill the head of Jiangdong's child for General Zhonglang. After the matter is over, General Mo will drink the blood of the enemy with General Zhonglang!"

After saying this, the barbarian general was about to go out, but Cao Chong shook his head.

"Zhang Kui Qu Wei, no need to worry. Jiangdong is now just the food on your plate. Now the food is hot, so we still have to let him get colder and do it again!"

Cao Chong's words directly belittled Jiangdong in nothing, and then he said that this time was not a good opportunity to send troops. There was nothing profound about this sentence, but there were some clever metaphors. Although Zhang Kui was confused, he still stretched his legs back.

"I am a rash man, I don't know when the opportunity will be. I'll ask the General of the Central Army to tell you one or two."

"I wonder what Zhang Quwei thought the Jiangdong Navy?"

Cao Chong did not answer Zhang Kui's words positively, but instead asked Zhang Kui a question.

Zhang Kui was stunned, thought for a while before he said it in carefree words.

"The Jiangdong Navy is very strong, with thousands of warships and three tower ships, which is really troublesome!"

Cao Chong nodded and asked again: "How does Quwei think of our navy?"

Zhang Kui glanced at Cai Mao, but said it out of his mouth.

"There are less than 500 warships in Jingzhou, and they have been disrepair for many years. They are really no match for the Jiangdong Navy."

Even though Cai Mao was fat enough, his face was still a little red as Zhang Kui said.

It’s great if you don’t tell the truth, I, Cai Mao, still want some face.

But Cai Mao's face was mostly ashamed and he did not mean to blame Zhang Kui. Especially after Zhang Kui said this, Zhang Liao also gave Cai Mao an apology look. With such a look, the anger in Cai Mao's heart was extinguished before it even started to ignite.

After hearing Zhang Kui's words, Cao Chong nodded again and said the next sentence.

"Since you know that the Jiangdong Navy is powerful, why do you still have to lead troops to hit the stone with eggs?"

Zhang Kui was stunned, but there was a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Although the navy of Jiangdong children is strong, my Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not a good person, so why are you afraid of it?"

Cao Chong shook his head in his heart, chuckled and said, "Children in Jiangdong, we naturally don't need to be afraid, but it is not a wise move to attack the other's strengths with our own weaknesses."

"What's a wise move?"

Cao Chong looked at Zhang Kui, then looked around and said, "In Xiakou, although our army's military strength is better than Jiangdong, the real strength of the war may not be their opponent. If he still wants to attack the strong with a weak attack, he will probably be a fool to step on Chaisang!"

Although Cao Chong's words hurt his morale, they are not unreasonable.

Although you have to despise Jiangdong strategically, if you also despise Jiangdong tactically, then the one who fails will definitely be you.

It is not that simple to capture Jiangdong. Not to mention that there is Zhou Yu in Xiakou and most of the military strength of the Jiangdong Navy. Even without Zhou Yu and most of the combat power of the Jiangdong Navy, it turns out that Huang Gai's tens of thousands of elite armors is enough for Cao's army to bear.

There are countless examples of using special terrain to defeat the strong with the weak!

Zhang Kui also wanted to argue with Cao Chong, but when Zhang Liao looked at him, he immediately turned into a big quail. He pulled his extended feet back and lowered his head and didn't dare to spit out a word.

"Does the young master have a plan in his mind?" Zhuge Liang spoke out.

Cao Chong glanced at Zhuge Liang, and the expression on his face could not tell what Cao Chong was thinking.

"Sir, are you very insightful?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Although the Jiangdong Navy is strong, if the young master can avoid the edge of the Jiangdong Navy, then it would be much easier to cross the Yangtze River?"

Cao Chong nodded, stared at Zhuge Liang, and asked softly: "How to avoid his sharp edge?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly turned cold and he said: "Destroy the Jiangdong Navy's warship, then will the so-called Jiangdong Navy become a toothless tiger?"

Destroy the warship?

There were many discussions in the main account, but in the words, they were not praises to Zhuge Liang, but mostly contempt.

If we had the ability to destroy Jiangdong's warships, we would have been afraid that Jiangdong Navy would have worked directly on it long ago.

Is this a strategy?

A method that a three-year-old child can think of!

Everyone was about to mock Zhuge Liang, but Cao Chong spoke aside.

"I am just thinking that, can you please let me know your plan?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Cao Chong with a strange look in his eyes, and quickly bent down and bowed to Cao Chong.
