Three Kingdoms: Five-year-old Chibi offering poison, shocking Cao Cao

late at night.

Inside the main camp of Cao Jun.

Cao Cao sat in front of the document and looked at the secret letter that the scout had just presented.

Cao Rui, Cheng Yu, Xun You, and Jia Xu, who were sitting beside them, were observing the changes in Cao Cao's expression.

"This Cai family really has the heart to rebel!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said coldly after reading the contents of the secret letter:

"Wenyuan just arrived in Jiangling today."

"Just now, a secret report came from Jiangling that the 200 guards of the city have all been killed!"

Cheng Yu suddenly took a breath:

"It seems that the Cai family has long been disrespectful!"

Originally, Cheng Yu was also worried that Cao Rui's previous plan to kill people was good.

But what if the Cai family is not fooled and has not taken action.

If so, the subsequent layout will be completely destroyed.

But now it seems that there is absolutely no need to worry about it.

Thinking of this, Xun You hurriedly said.

"In that case, the Cai family can't stay any longer!"

"Might as well let the tigers and leopards ride their hands to calm the chaos tonight!"

Although Xun You is not a person who loves soldiers like a son.

But now, watching the two hundred soldiers die in vain, he was really heartbroken.

While Zhang Liao was heading to Jiangling, five thousand tigers and leopards had already hid outside Jiangling City late at night.

In the rest of the place, a total of 30,000 elite riders were placed.

Once started, the Cai family was destroyed in an instant.

However, at this moment, Cao Rui said solemnly:

"Father can't."

"I am waiting for this time not only to destroy the Cai clan, but also to eradicate its vassal forces."

"Wait for a while before these people are ready to move."

Xun You said in shock:

"If we wait a few more days, I'm afraid our army will add more casualties."

"After destroying the Cai family, Jingzhou has no leader, and the remaining forces are nothing to worry about. Why bother?"

"The battle at Chibi is the main thing right now, and the young master is still lacking in thought."

But Cao Rui looked at Xun You and asked in a deep voice:

"The strategist thought that destroying the Cai family was just to stabilize the rear?"

Hearing Cao Rui's rhetorical question, Xun You was stunned for a moment.

Is not it?

Even Cao Cao was stunned and turned his attention to Cao Rui:

"What does Rui'er mean by this?"

Cao Rui said:

"Securing the rear is just secondary."

"The real purpose should be forage."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned at first, but they didn't understand Cao Rui's meaning for a while.

But then, Cheng Yu said solemnly:

"What does the young master mean by suppressing the Cai family to confiscate food and grass?"

Cao Rui nodded, noncommittal.

This time, everyone suddenly realized.

Yes, grain!

Nowadays, the decisive battle of Chibi is difficult to carry out. Apart from the fact that the navy has not been trained, there is still not enough food and grass!

Even if the grain is transported from the north, it cannot quench the thirst of the near.

What's more, there is a drought in various places, and the food in the north is tight, and there is not much food that can be shipped.

If the grain was forcibly levied in Jingzhou, it would not be conducive to conquering the hearts of the people.

Taking advantage of the Cai family's rebellion to seize the food is the best choice!

"Little son, this is a brilliant plan!"

Rao is Xun You, who is known as the mastermind of Cao Jun. At this time, he can't help but gasp and praise.

This tactic is poisonous, but extremely effective.

He completely understood why he had to go to great lengths to pacify the rear before the war.

Even at the cost of sacrifice, the Cai family must be led out of the hole.

It turns out that the pacification of the rear is false, and the confiscated materials are true!

Jingzhou is a land of wealth.

The Cai family has been entrenched in Jingzhou for many years, plus many clinging forces under its command.

The amount of food that can be collected this time must be unimaginable!

"Young master is so clever, bold and careful, I can't wait!"

Jia Xu slowly stood up and said with emotion.

A group of wily counselors, at this moment, are willing to give in to a five-year-old child.

But they don't feel anything.

"Hahahaha, I have Rui'er, Gong Minggongjin is nothing to be afraid of!"

Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled happily.

...

At the same time, Jiangdong Camp.

Zhuge Liang and Lu Su stood at the ferry crossing, looking at the twenty or so boats on the river in front of them.

"Kong Ming, what are you doing?"

Lu Su looked at Zhuge Liang with a puzzled expression, and said inexplicably.

Zhuge Liang waved the goose feather fan lightly and said indifferently:

"The governor did not mention it today. Due to the spread of the epidemic, the craftsmen who made arrows fell one after another."

"Are there not enough arrows in the army right now?"

Hearing this, Lu Su said even more puzzled:

"It's true, but... what does this have to do with you wanting so many straw boats?"

Lu Su is now sad.

He knew in his heart that Zhou Yu did not trust Zhuge Liang very much.

Always beware of Zhuge Liang.

Now that Jiangdong is devastated by the epidemic, Zhuge Liang dares to send a boat out of the river at this juncture.

It is for this reason that Lu Su was specially sent by Zhou Yu to stare at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said:

"This trip is very dangerous, and Zijing is going to go with him?"

Lu Su nodded slightly, noncommittal.

"It seems that the Governor is still worried about being here."

Zhuge Liang waved the goose feather fan lightly and smiled.

Lu Su was suddenly dumbfounded:

"Kong Ming don't want to talk nonsense."

"The Governor is worried about your safety."

"Now that the two armies are about to go to war, if something happens to Kong Ming, it will be extremely detrimental to the Sun-Liu Union Army."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said:

"No need to worry."

"I'm waiting for this trip just to borrow something from Cao Jun."

Lu Su first nodded habitually, and then he reacted:

"what?!"

"Kong Ming, don't tell me, you want to borrow arrows from Cao Jun!"*
