The southern suburbs of Xudu, Cao Ying.

Cao Cao rode his horse through the camps, inspecting the assembly of his soldiers.

"My various departments have been secretly assembled, and there are 30,000 elite soldiers available for this crusade against Yuan Shu. "

"Meng De, you give an order, and in three days at the latest, we will be able to go south along Yingshui and go straight to Huainan. "

Cao Ren beside him played all the way.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and looked at Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, what's the situation in Huainan?"

"As we speculated in advance, Yuan Shuqin led an army of 50,000 to the north, intending to destroy Lü Bu, and the two armies were already at a stalemate on the front line. "

Yuan Shu only left his son Yuan Yao to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard Shouchun, and sent the general Qiao Rui to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to guard Longkang, in order to guard Yingkou and defend Shouchun. "

Xun Yu will bring the information obtained one by one.

Cao Ren frowned: "Yuan Shu, that stupid person, actually gave Long Kang more troops, he is guarding against us!".

"It's just a Qiao Rui. "

Cao Cao disdainful, "Just follow the battle of Xinye, send the red rabbit horse to gallop south, and the army will enter by water, and it will be able to break the dragon by surprise." "

Cao Ren's brows widened, and he nodded: "Meng De is reasonable, we have a red rabbit to ride, and it is not a problem to break a Qiao Rui." "

The voice fell.

Guo Jiace came on horse, his face was quite solemn.

"Sikong, Huainan just sent back the news. "

"After Qiao Rui was stationed in Longkang, more than ten beacon towers were built in the upper reaches of Yingshui overnight, and as long as our army was found, it could light the beacon fire to warn Longkang City. "

"We want to emulate the battle of Xinye, and with the speed of the red rabbit ride, we will surprise the dragon, but I am afraid it will not work. "

Guo Jia's tone was solemn and he gave the latest information.

"Beacon?".

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with curiosity, "Qiao Rui is mediocre, how can he come up with such a means?".

Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "According to our reports, this plan was offered by a young Confucian general named Zhou Yu under Yuan Shu. "

"Zhou Yu?".

"Lujiang Zhou, the son of Luoyang Ling Zhouyi?".

Zhou Yu came from a famous family, and Cao Cao immediately guessed his family background.

"It is the son of Zhou Yi. "

Guo Jia nodded.

Cao Cao's eyes swept up with a little appreciation, and he exclaimed: "It seems that Yuan Shu's command is not only full of wine bags and rice bags, but also such a talented man with extraordinary wisdom." "

"Sikong!".

Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "Then Zhou Yu's plan of the beacon tower has made our Red Rabbit Cavalry lose the usefulness of surprise attacks, but I am afraid that this battle of Shouchun will have to be considered in the long run." "

Cao Cao's face was clouded, and he raised his whip: "Let's go, go back to the big tent, and discuss it well." "

The chief minister and his party immediately returned to the big tent.

From noon to dusk, from dusk to evening, there was no perfect plan.

Cao Cao also knew that there would be no result today, so he broke up the military discussion.

The generals of the strategists retired.

Cao Cao walked out of the tent, looked at the moonlight above his head, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of amazement.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance soaked in his nose, which aroused Cao Cao's appetite.

He sniffed carefully, the smell seemed to have been smelled somewhere.

"Sikong, what kind of hot pot is it that Ziyou Gongzi eats!".

Behind him, Dian Wei reminded.

Cao Cao only then recalled that it seemed that this was indeed the smell.

Suddenly.

A gleam flashed in his eyes.

Borrowing a knife to kill people, driving wolves and devouring tigers, surprise attacks on Shouchun, fishermen profiting...

The pits dug for Yuan Shu were originally the masterpieces of his niece and son-in-law.

Xun Yu Guo Jia can't think of a countermeasure for the time being, and he may not be able to stop Cao Yuan!

"Let's go!".

A smile appeared on Cao Cao's face, and he immediately changed into his official uniform, and followed the fragrance all the way to Cao Yuan's camp.

The army was about to set out, and Cao Yuan, as a quartermaster, had to leave Wenrou Township and come to the army to report.

Yan Yunwei recognized Cao Cao, so he didn't step forward to stop him.

Cao Cao lifted the curtain, and sure enough, he saw Cao Yuan and Xiahou Juan in military uniforms, and the two husbands and wives were surrounding the hot pot and eating a large piece.

"You two, you're going to enjoy it. "

Cao Cao walked in with a smile.

"Uncle!".

Xiahou Juan saw that it was Cao Cao, so he was busy putting down the dishes and chopsticks and stepped forward to greet him.

Cao Yuan smiled and beckoned: "It's better to come early than to come early, your old man is blessed, come and come, try this mutton hot pot." "

Cao Cao has long been interested in this Cao Yuan's original, unheard of delicacy, but he was only talented when he had something to do before, so he couldn't feast on it.

Now that my stomach was empty, I simply sat down.

Xiahou Juan added a pair of chopsticks to Cao Cao.

Cao Yuan personally soaked a slice, dipped it in the secret sauce, and sent it to Cao Cao's bowl.

Cao Cao was full of curiosity, carefully put it into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and his eyes lit up.

"It's delicious, it's delicious!"

Cao Cao praised.

There was no need for Cao Yuan to make a move, so he was not polite, and he shook up one by one.

Dian Wei on the side, looking at his father-in-law, ate so with relish, but he couldn't bear it, so he could only swallow his saliva.

After soaking two catties of mutton in one go, Cao Cao put down the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction after burping.

"This hot pot is really a rare delicacy in the world!".

Cao Cao stroked his bulging belly and was full of praise.

"Uncle came to my tent this big night, not just to eat this hot pot, right?"

Cao Yuan handed over a cup of tea, and his smile was meaningful.

Cao Cao was aware of his thoughts, so he had to smile bitterly: "Uncle, I don't hide it from me, in fact, the situation in Huainan has changed, and Cao Gongqi's attack on Shouchun had an accident." "

Then, Cao Cao told Zhou Yu about the plan to offer the beacon tower, so that the red rabbit horse lost the advantage of the surprise attack, and told the information.

"Koto Mishuro?".

"Well, calculate the time, this person should still be under Yuan Shu, and he didn't go to Sun Ce...."

"It's no surprise that he has this resourcefulness. "

Cao Yuan muttered to himself, but there was no surprise on his face.

"So, uncle, I'm having a headache about this. "

Cao Cao began to lay the groundwork again.

"Uncle, you're not Cao Gong, what headache do you have?"

Cao Yuan had a look that didn't concern him, and he hung up high.

Cao Cao has bitterness in his heart, and he really wants to tell him that he is Cao Cao!

"Isn't Duke Cao my uncle my lord, my lord has a problem, I, as a courtier, shouldn't I share my worries for the lord. "

"I said, Ziyou, what tricks do you have to crack this beacon?"

Cao Cao beat around the bush for a long time, but finally asked.

A sneer crossed the corner of Cao Yuan's mouth.

I expected him to come to the door with nothing, and he would ask for something, but this was another discussion with himself, and he wanted to offer advice and invite merit.

"You said uncle, I calculated it carefully for you, and you also gave Cao Gong a lot of strategies back and forth, and you have contributed a lot. "

"But in the end, you are still a master bookkeeper, and Cao Gong neither promoted you nor made you his adviser. "

"You said that you are still in a hurry, and you want to offer advice and solve problems for Cao Gong, what are you trying to do?"

Cao Yuan was upset about Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's face was full of question marks when he was asked, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"In my opinion, our Cao Gong didn't want to reuse you uncle at all, so don't bother to plan for him anymore. "

"Uncle, you can be your master bookkeeper with peace of mind, isn't it good for us to make a fortune in a low-key manner. "

Cao Yuan was kind and tempting, and wanted to persuade Cao Cao to turn back in time.

Cao Cao was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

He had no choice but to sneer and say, "I forgot to tell Ziyou that Gong Cao has promised to promote me to be a strategist, as long as I help him solve the problem in front of him this time, it will be a certainty." "

Saying that, Cao Cao also gave Xiahou Juan a look.

Xiahou Juan understood, so he begged Cao Yuanyang: "Husband, you can help your uncle." "

Having said that, Cao Yuan is not easy to shirk.

After all, it is his own family, and if this uncle can really be Cao Cao's confidant and minister, he will have more power, and he will also have benefits.

"It's strange, Cao Gong is thirsty for talent, with the credit of your uncle and your many contributions, he should have used you as a strategist a long time ago, this doesn't seem to be his style of employing people...."

After Cao Yuan muttered, he had to sigh helplessly: "Since that's the case, then I'll think about it." "

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and he personally poured a cup of tea for Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan sipped tea, his thoughts racing, and he was silent in thought.

After a long time.

His eyes flashed: "I really thought of a plan, maybe I can break Zhou Yu's beacon." "

"What ploy?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened and he asked eagerly.

Cao Yuan was unhurried and slowly said four words:

"Crossing the river in white!".
