I was the emperor in the Three Kingdoms

On the Wei side, Cao Cao also received news from people sent by Xiahou Dun. When he heard that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun had successfully attacked Sun Quan and burned almost all of Sun Quan's food and grass, he couldn't help but clap the table and applaud.

When he heard the following news, he felt distressed again. The 20,000 naval troops in Chao County are almost the only seedling of Wei State. Now this single seedling is almost dying, why can't we feel sad for it?

"I didn't expect Wu's navy to be so powerful."After hearing this, Cao Cao muttered to himself. Cao Cao was only following Sima Yi. Seeing that Sima Yi didn't say anything, he asked,"Zhongda, what do you think?"

"Returning to the King of Wei," Sima Yi said,"The Governor of Xiahou has obviously suffered a big loss."

Although Xiahou Dun successfully sent Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to sneak attack on Sun Quan's grain and grass, Sun Quan was not injured. Instead, he was chased and killed by Cheng Pu, causing heavy losses to the navy in Chao County.

Cao Cao nodded,"Yes, no. Wrong, Yuan let them suffer a big loss. This king didn’t think of it either. I didn’t expect Wu’s navy and Cheng Pu to be so powerful. Cheng Pu was obviously attacked by a sneak attack, but he could still lead his men in hot pursuit, fight all the way to Chao County, and severely damage my navy."

"So, Zhongda, what do you think this king should do now?"Cao Cao asked Sima Yi

"As King Wei said before, he was waiting for the Wu army to retreat and then gave them a disastrous defeat."Sima Yi said.

Cao Cao nodded, this is exactly what he has to do.

At this time, wait, wait for Wu Jun to show his flaws. Then deal with Wu Jun ruthlessly. Unlike Sun Quan of Wu State, Cao Cao is not afraid of waiting, and he does not have to worry about Sun Quan's sneak attack. Visiting him, there is no need to worry that the grain route will be threatened by Sun Quan.

At the same time, Hefei is here and the city is high and walled. Cao Cao can say that he has no worries in the end and can continue to consume Sun Quan here. The only regret is that Cao Cao has the money in his hands. There are much fewer soldiers and horses than Sun Quan's. Otherwise, Cao Cao could just attack by force and drive Sun Quan into Chao Lake for a swim.

"Zhongda, what do you think of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun?"How Cao Cao should deal with Sun Quan, he had already made up his mind. He asked Sima Yi mainly because he wanted to test Sima Yi. When

Sima Yi heard Cao Cao's question, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Sima Yi, who knew how to figure out his boss's thoughts, knew that Cao Cao would They began to value Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. After all, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were able to make Wu's navy suffer this time.

Moreover, Wei did not have very good naval talents. In the process of fighting for Chao Lake with Sun Quan, he has always been at a disadvantage.

Chao Lake is mostly occupied by Wu State, and Wei State can still move on Chao Lake.

It is entirely because of the existence of Chao County. If Chao County also fell into In his hands, Chaohu Lake can be declared to be the inner lake of Wu State, and there will be nothing to do with Wei State.

Now Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have impressed Cao Cao with their actions, letting Cao Cao know that they are not useless.

Therefore, Sima Yi After thinking for a while, he said,"When General Cai and General Zhang were in Jingzhou, they led the navy of Jingzhou to deal with Wu. The former Jingzhou Navy was also very strong, but they met Yongzhu, and now the two of them are following the King of Wei. Under the control of King Wei, they may be able to exert their due capabilities."

Sima Yi did not say whether Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were good or not, but said that under Cao Cao's control, they can exert their due abilities. As for their abilities, it depends on themselves. At the same time , Then he secretly flattered Cao Cao.

Cao Cao felt relieved after hearing this, wasn't he? Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were able to sneak attack the Wu army's food and grass, that is, because he sent them to Chaoxian to let them If this were not the case in training navy, how would we have achieved today's results?

It all depends on yourself.

After Cao Cao secretly felt proud in his heart, he said,"Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have made great contributions to the sneak attack on the Wu army's food and grass. They are each promoted to one level. level, with a bounty of five thousand. Because of his carelessness later, he was unlucky in the battle and was fined three months' salary."

Sima Yi heard what Cao Cao said. He knew that Cao Cao was going to reuse Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

Then Cao Cao sent someone to tell Xiahou Dun to expand the size of the navy and increase its troops.

Two days later, he I found that the Wu army on the opposite side seemed to show no signs of retreating.

"King Wei and King Sun Quan of Wu must have concealed the news of the attack on grain and grass."Sima Yi said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao smiled and snorted,"Do you think it's enough to hide it?"

Then Cao Cao sent people to Sun Quan's camp and loudly told the Wu Army soldiers the news.

Soon, the news that Sun Quan's food and grass were attacked spread, and the Wu Army soldiers all knew it.
