Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

Xudu.

"My lord, Zhang Xiu has come to flee!"

A soldier stepped forward to report.

And this news, as early as a day ago, Cao Yang has already revealed.

Zhang Xiu came to defect, and Cao Cao was not surprised.

Instead, he appreciated Cao Yang even more, looking at Cao Yang on the side and asking.

"Master, do you think we should accept this embroidery?

Cao Yang showed a small smile.

"Zhang Xiu is also a famous figure in the North, why didn't your lord accept it?"

He glanced at Cao Cao and thought to himself.

As long as Cao Cao does not accept Zhang Ji's widow, Zhang Xiu will never rebel.

It was because Cao Cao suffered heavy losses because of this.

But now Cao Cao, because of the existence of Cao Yang, seems to have no feelings for his biological mother, and no longer has any feelings for his wife.

Cao Yang naturally noticed this, but he was a little surprised.

At the beginning, his biological mother had such a great influence on Cao Cao.

Cao Yang didn't think much, and said lightly.

"My lord, let Zhang Xiu enter the city!

"After that, it can be handed over to Fengxiao to arrange, and I have another matter to discuss with the lord.

He took the initiative to come here, obviously there is something important for Cao Cao, the dark guard dormant in Jiangdong can be regarded as bringing him some exciting news.

Looking at Cao Yang's tone, he knew that this matter was probably no trivial matter.

Cao Cao opened his hands towards Cao Yang.

"Sir, please speak.

Cao Yang said with a faint smile without ink.

"I'm afraid Jiangdong has been restless recently. 99

As soon as this statement came out, Cao Cao's eyes were stunned. At this time, it should be Jingzhou.

Why did Jiang Dong suddenly get involved again? Could it be...

He blurted out immediately.

"Sun Ce is ready to rebel?"

Now that Liu Biao is dead, if Jiangdong is interested in Jingzhou, then it is not impossible to turn against Cao Cao in this battle.

And he did not expect to constrain Sun Ce in the condition he verbally stated to Sun Ce many years ago.

However, Cao Yang shook his head and said with a chuckle.

"How could Sun Bofu be against 10, but his good younger brother Sun Zhongmou may be!""

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao was slightly taken aback.

Sun Ce's younger brother made him feel extremely unfamiliar. Although he had heard of it, he did not pay much attention to it.

"Sun Zhongmou, Sun Zhongmou. 35

Cao Cao whispered the name softly, as if he wanted to recall what was special about this person.

However, there was no information about this person in his mind for a long time.

His younger brother, who is not as old as the weak crown, would have such an idea?

Cao Cao looked at Cao Yang and asked.

"This person, may it be against?

Cao Yang shook his head, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes, and said firmly.

"This person will definitely rebel!""

He knew Sun Quan very well and was very ambitious.

But Cao Cao still showed a trace of doubt.

"Then according to the counselor's words, how could Sun Ce be against him?"

But as soon as he said it, Cao Cao already understood.

"I understand, this Sun Quan has such ambitions?

Cao Cao laughed lightly.

"If this is the case, Sun Quan, the road is narrow."

"To push his brother to a dead end.

At this time, Cao Yang said with a smile.

"If Sun Ce goes to a dead end, who will benefit in the end?

As soon as this statement came out, Cao Cao's heart was shocked, this Sun Quan actually wanted to plot the entire Jiangdong?

At this time, a dark guard broke in directly.

"The counselor, the lord, a secret letter from the Jiangdong dark guard! 35

Cao Yang showed a confident smile and waved his hands.

"My lord may wish to take a look first."

Cao Cao nodded, glanced at Cao Yang, and took the secret letter in his hand.

Just for a moment, Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help wandering on Cao Yang's body.

What was written in this secret letter was Sun Quan's intention to attack Cao Jun.

This is exactly what Cao Yang guessed!

If he hadn't known Cao Yang's identity, Cao Cao would have thought he was a god.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and nodded.

"Sure enough, everything is as the military advisor said."

"Sun Quan has secretly formed an alliance with Lu Bu.

"As long as we enter Jingzhou, Jiangdong will take action. 35

His eyes were fixed on Cao Yang, now the power of Jiangdong, plus the soldiers of Liu Biao's old division in Jingzhou.

The strength is not inferior to Yuan Shao in his heyday!

A total of 300,000 troops can be taken out.

Now that Lu Bu is teaming up with Sun Quan, the battle may not be too smooth.

"Master, what do you think we should do?"

Of the seven counties in Jingzhou, Cao Cao obviously could not give up.

Jingzhou was originally the center of the world, a place where military strategists must compete, and the city defense here was better than any other place.

Important cities even have moats, carbine, crossbow towers and even urns!

It is really a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is reasonable and harmless to occupy this city!

With Cao Cao's current strength, there is absolutely no need to give up.

Now that Liu Biao died of illness, if it were any other time, he would have to pay twice as many troops.

These Cao Yang obviously knew that, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Little Jiangdong? Also want to make waves?

I saw Cao Yang bowed and said.

"Our original plan remains unchanged, since Sun Zhongmou wants Jiangdong, we might as well help him!

As soon as this statement came out, Cao Cao was slightly confused, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Master, what do you mean?

"Kill Sun Ce?"

Cao Yang shook his head and said with a light smile.

"Divergence!"

"Dividing Jiangdong's forces into two factions!"

"When the time comes, we don't need to take action, and they will naturally fight within each other.

Just a few words were enough for Cao Cao to understand what he meant.

It's just that the plan behind this is obviously not too simple.

Cao Cao nodded.

"Then it's going to trouble the sergeant.

"Half of the Youzhou dark guards are withdrawn and sent to Jiangdong."

Later, Cao Cao also left with the dark guard.

Cao Yang looked at Jiang Dong's direction and showed a smile.

This Sun Quan is a Yuan Shu who knows how to forbear, and has the intention of becoming an emperor in his heart.

He clearly knew the Yuxi, whose whereabouts were unknown at the beginning.

This jade seal fell into Sun Quan's hands, and even Sun Ce didn't know the news!

Sun Quan thought he had hidden everyone, but he didn't expect that, all this was under Cao Yang's eyes.

The next day, Jingzhou.

Sure enough, under the suggestion of Chen Gong, under the name of Liu Qi, he established Liu Qi as the prefectural shepherd of Jingzhou, and indeed recruited a lot of Liu Biao's former followers.

This directly strengthened Lu Bu's strength. Originally, Lu Bu had nearly 100,000 troops when he evacuated from Sizhou.

After absorbing the old Jingzhou clan, it instantly increased to more than 150,000 people.

Lu Bu, who was in the school field, looked at the soldiers in front of him with a smile.

Now that tens of thousands of soldiers fell from the sky and sent them to Lu Bu, and now Jiangdong Sun Quan came to the alliance.

As long as Cao Cao marched slowly, he might even be able to take all of Liu Biao's old troops in Jingzhou as his own.

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong on the side and said.

"Military advisor, what should we do if we descend on auspiciousness today?

Although Chen Gongsui was not a man of great plans, his foundation was not weak at all.

After thinking about it for the past few days, Chen Gong also saw the situation clearly.

"My lord, I suggest taking the initiative to attack Nanyang!

Lu Bu looked suspicious.

"Gongtai, didn't you ask us to take the initiative to withdraw from Nanyang before, why are you attacking now?"

Chen Gong took out the topographic map and exhaled.

"Nanyang is incomparably important, we will not be able to hold back when our weak Cao army invaded before.

"Now that we have accepted Liu Biao's former department, we must attack Nanyang.

"If you capture Nanyang, you will be able to stop Cao Cao's accumulation of troops!"

"The terrain of Jingzhou is uneven, and it is inconvenient to station the army. As long as they are driven out, they can only retreat to Sizhou!"

"And with the time we bought, we can fully integrate Liu Biao's old divisions in the seven counties of Jingzhou!

"When the time comes when Cao's army comes, we will hand in hand!

"Our goal has long been achieved!"

Since Liu Biao died of illness, Chen Gong has been thinking about it.

This tactic has already tended to be perfect in his heart, if he can win all of Liu Biao's old divisions in Jingzhou.

Lu Bu's strength could even surpass an army of 200,000!

At that time, with the strength of Lu Bu, he will be able to become one of the biggest princes of the Han Dynasty.

After listening to Chen Gong's eloquent remarks, Lu Bu also revealed a hint of ambition in his eyes.

"Okay, everything is according to the counselor's words, immediately dispatch a large army to attack Xinye!"

"Now that Xinye Cao Ren has only fifty thousand troops, how can he defend our attack?"

For this battle, Lu Bu showed incomparable confidence!

Without any hesitation, under the order of Lv Bu, they gathered troops from Nanjun and headed for Xinye on the same day!

Xinye, Nanyang County.

"General, Lu Bu has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanjun to come to us.

With such a mighty momentum, the scouts naturally saw all of them.

And Cao Ren showed a smile in his eyes.

A look that sure enough Lu Bu will come.

I saw a trace of fighting intent in his eyes, and said with a smile.

"Good come!"

"Everyone reorganizes the army and prepares to face Lu Bu!"

Cao Ren stared at the south, he wanted to see how powerful this Lu Bu was.

He wasn't stupid enough to fight Lu Bu alone.

To be able to have such confidence, of course, does not depend on oneself.

But it came from the military division, which gave him incomparable self-confidence. This battle had been anticipated when Cao Yang sent him to Nanyang.

Countless soldiers did not stick to the city, but instead left the city one after another.

All fifty thousand troops came out of the city, waiting for the arrival of this Lu Bu.

Similar to the time predicted by the scouts, Lu Bu's army of 100,000 people arrived here in just two hours.

This battle was led by Lu Bu himself, and even Chen Gong followed to supervise the battle.

This shows the importance of this battle to Lu Bu.

Cao Ren looked at the disappointed army of Lu Bu in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Everyone, form a formation!"

047 With Cao Ren's order, the drums of war and the horns were blown.

I saw an army of fifty thousand, revolving around Cao Ren.

The fifty thousand soldiers were divided into sixty-four groups, and countless dust was raised, while the sixty-four groups seemed to be separate but complementary.

Seen from a distance, this formation actually contains the meaning of Qimen Dunjia mutual generation and mutual restraint. It seems to be full of loopholes but it is impossible to start.

50,000 people were in front of Lu Bu, quietly waiting for Lu Bu's attack.

Looking at this scene, Lu Bu's expression changed slightly, although he was not good at forming an army, he could feel the unusualness of this formation.

Looking at this 50,000-strong army that gave up the city's defenses and was outside the city, Lu Bu, who was leading 100,000 soldiers, did not dare to send troops!

Lu Bu's eyes showed incomparable hesitation, and he looked at Chen Gong on the side.

"Gongtai, what kind of formation is this?"

For Lu Bu, his well-informed strategist should know this formation.

Chen Gong also showed a hint of shock. Although he had some strategies, leading troops to fight was also his blind spot.

He just deduced this formation, and he could already feel the strong murderous aura in this formation.

There are eight entrances revealed by the formation, and not every entrance is extremely dangerous.

Chen Gong naturally has seen a lot, but he has never seen this time.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he could only say so.

"This formation is extremely mysterious, I'm afraid it's not easy to break through!"

"The lord can send a thousand elite soldiers to enter from the southwest entrance and try. 35

Hearing Chen Gong even said so, Lu Bu's expression changed, even the military advisor had never heard of this formation?

When did Cao Ren have such ability?

Lu Bu said directly and loudly.

"Come here, send a thousand troops, and enter from the southwest entrance!

Cao Ren, who was in the array, showed a smile.

This formation is an eight-door golden lock formation. Although I have studied it in my early years, I have perfected it a lot with the help of my military advisor.

The Eight Gates Golden Lock Array is divided into eight gates: Xiumen, Shengmen, Wounded Gate, Dumen, Jingmen, Death Gate, Jingmen, and Open Gate.

And the gate that the thousand soldiers sent by Lü Bu walked through was Jingmen!

I saw that with the influx of Lv Bu's thousand soldiers, the eight-door golden lock formation spun, and Jingmen, which seemed to be incomparably weak, instantly changed its appearance.

The thousand soldiers lost their direction in an instant after they entered the battle, and they all perished in an instant.

It disappeared instantly in the eight golden lock formations, as if the thousand soldiers had never appeared before.

Chen Gong, who was staring at this scene, showed a trace of fear.

"This formation is absolutely unprecedented."
