"If there is, there is. We can arrange for our people to use their heads to collect money. If Sun Quan can go bankrupt, this method will be useless. However, one is too cruel, and the other is that Sun Quan must have a way to verify whether it is a soldier of our Cao army. We cannot kill people casually instead. If we wipe out the bandits and get the heads, there will be nowhere near. Once the army arrives, the bandits will have already run away."

"Then you can't kill your own people and get rewards."

"No, we protect the elites and let the old and weak kill those who want to get money. If we can sacrifice tens of thousands of people, Sun Quan's money may not be enough."

When Cao Cao thought that this method was good, which could eliminate the elderly and weak, reduce his logistical pressure, and did not affect his combat effectiveness. He said, "This method is good. If you find someone to make a secret arrangement, I have to see how much money Sun Quan has."

The black and white roads in the rivers and lakes began to run towards the Red Cliff. The woods near Cao's army were full of heroes in the rivers and lakes. The disappeared fishermen on the rivers also began to emerge slowly. However, the naval army is Cao Cao's treasure and has a tight natural defense. Therefore, many fishermen returned without success, and only a few were good at succeeding. Seeing that someone in the naval army died, Cao Cao strengthened the defense of the water village, and the lights of the water village remained extinguished all night at night, and the water villagers and the thieves began to lose their chances.

Everyone began to turn their targets to land together. If they could count these figures outside the Cao army, there would probably be thousands of people. If Cao Cao knew this data, he would probably lament that it would be better to have money.

At the beginning, everyone was waiting. Cao's army seemed to be more defensive than usual, but everyone was not stupid. They were afraid that there would be traps in it, so they didn't take action. However, on this day, a group of water thieves were already angry because many of their brothers were killed when they attacked the water thieves at night. They attacked a team of Cao's army directly. They found that they were very easy to succeed, and then they escaped without any casualties.

Now everyone rushed out one after another, and thousands of people attacked the camps outside the Cao army. These camps had been arranged by Cao Cao and Guo Jia, so they were easily captured. The rescue of Cao army did not arrive until these people in the martial arts world withdrew. Now about 6,000 heads were taken away.

Then everyone flocked to Sun Liu's camp to receive the bounty. After Sun Quan arranged for people to verify the heads, he gave everyone a bounty, a lot of money, and specially placed a lot of silver and gold coins on the platform, which made everyone look dazzling.

After getting the data of the heads for the bounty exchange, Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan: "Lord, there may be something wrong with this. These heads are all old and weak. I guess Cao Cao is planning to use these heads to spend all our money, so that our gold and silver coins will not be enough."

"This is a problem, is there any countermeasures?"

Xu Shu stood up and said, "Lord, commander-in-chief, I have a plan. We can arrange detailed information about walking in the Cao army that Cao Cao deliberately sacrificed the elderly and weak. In this way, the morale of the Cao army will be in chaos and Cao Cao's reputation will also be bad. It can also echo our previous plan to distract Cao's army from the gentry of Jingzhou. There are many soldiers in the Cao army now from Jingzhou."

Pang Tong continued: "We should be a little more ruthless. The content of the rumor is about the soldiers of Jingzhou. Cao Cao used the hands of the people in the martial arts world to clean up the army of Jingzhou, for fear that they would not obey the command. The rumor, anyway, is true or false, and it would be effective."

After hearing this, Sun Quan said happily: "Just do what you said." Then he asked Chen Nian to find Yang Ping to arrange the spies of the Jinyiwei to arrange this matter.

Thousands of people died the next day, but because Cao Cao had already arranged it, there was no unrest or rumors. Most people didn't know the news. However, at noon on the third day, when everyone was having dinner, the rumors of Cao Cao's sacrifice of the elderly and weak suddenly spread in the army. I don't know who was the first to spread it. Then someone said that Cao Cao just wanted to sacrifice the soldiers in Jingzhou, because he was afraid that they would rebel and not obey the command, so he sacrificed them.

The two news spread quickly, and the atmosphere of the Cao army began to become imprinted and strange. At this time, if someone stood up and shouted, the Cao army would have to blow up the camp. However, Guo Jia and Cao Cao soon received the news, knowing that this countermeasure had lost its effect, so they began to arrange people to appease the soldiers and began to explain to everyone. Cao Ren personally stood up and admitted that it was his own battalion that was not effective, which gave people from the world a chance, causing casualties to the soldiers. Then Cao Cao punished Cao Ren in public, and then the morale of the army was basically stabilized.

However, since then, the Cao army basically has little room to display its secret moves, but the overall strength of the Cao army is still there, so Cao Cao directly strengthened his defense. Although it was a little hard, many people in the martial arts world were killed or injured, and few people could obtain Cao army's heads. Gradually, everyone was no longer so active. After all, even if you have money, you have to have the life to make money. This made a fuss for half a month. Although Cao Cao lost, his overall strength had little impact.

However, the morale of Cao's army was quite impacted, so Cao Cao carried out a grand military service and wrote a famous short song. Now the morale of Cao's army rose again.

Pang Tong accompanied Sun Quan to watch the scenery by the river and said a little annoyed: "I didn't expect that Cao Cao understood now and directly used his powerful strength to smash our conspiracy. Next, it depends on whether the rumors about our walking in Jingzhou can take effect. It would be even better if Cai Mao and Zhang Yun could lose Cao Cao's trust."

"Cao Cao is a hero. He will not trust others easily, but he has the courage and mind, so he will use it as much as possible."

"Lord, even though that is said, if we are different, we will have room for operation. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to communicate carefully on the river. Should we send special forces to deal with him?"

"This is better, don't worry. Our special forces have not been used in other places except in Jiaozhou and southern Yizhou. Everyone who knows it is all from us, so we have to take it out at the critical moment. The key is that now do you think Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang can trust us? What if they insult us at that time?"

"Not in case, it will be certain, lord. If Liu Bei doesn't seize the opportunity now, then he will lose his last chance. If he cannot gain a foothold in this battle, even if he can find opportunities in the future, then his age will not be enough for him to struggle for a long time."

"That is the critical moment. Maybe the enemy we face is not only Cao's army, but Liu Bei. We still have to leave enough backup, otherwise it will be dangerous at the critical moment. We not only want to win this battle, but also must be able to preserve enough strength after the war, so that we can ensure that there are enough people to take Jingzhou and destroy Liu Bei. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the Jingxiang land falls into Liu Bei's hands."
