The army was stationed in the wilderness.

Cao Shuo's tent was guarded in the middle.

The handsome man was lit with an oil lamp in his tent.

Sima Yi and Pang Tong sat in the account, while Cao Shu sat facing them.

"Sun Ce had the intention to use troops, and the troops were divided into two groups." Cao Shu asked: "Which army do you think he wanted to use as a breakthrough?"

"Guangling." Pang Tong said without thinking: "It is Sun Quan who is about to attack Lujiang. Although he is Sun Ce's brother and is also a little capable. After all, he is still young, and Sun Ce cannot hand over the main attacker to him. On the contrary, Guangling, with Chen Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang as generals, and Zhou Yu as military advisors, is the enemy that our army really needs to deal with with with heart."

"What do Zhongda think?" Cao Shu asked Sima Yi.

"I think so too." Sima Yi said: "Sun Quan's troops have Lu Meng and Zhou Tai. Although Zhou Tai is a powerful general and has made many contributions to Jiangdong in the past, Lu Meng has no experience in the battlefield like Sun Quan. Perhaps it was because Sun Quan asked Sun Ce to fight, which made his brothers feel bad, so Sun Ce came up with this kind of distribution method."

"I have been to Jiangdong and have met Zhou Yu several times." Cao Shu said: "If Sun Ce is a brave man, Zhou Yu is his mind. I plan to let Zhongda deal with him, I wonder if Zhongda is sure?"

"I can't refuse even if I'm not sure about the appointment." Sima Yi said: "Besides, I don't have the possibility of winning against Zhou Yu."

"What I want is absolute victory." Cao Shuo said to Sima Yi: "Although Zhou Yu has some talent, he should be inferior to Zhongda."

"Young Master is too fond of me." Sima Yi said: "But since you can trust me, I will do my best to not disappoint you."

"You can't disappoint me." Cao Shuo said: "This time Jiangdong sent troops, they could afford to lose, but we couldn't afford to lose. If Jiangdong loses, at most they can retreat and rest for a few years and regain their strength. If we lose, the Jiangdong army will form a siege with the Yuan family against our Cao family. In less than two years, the Cao family will definitely be divided up by them."

"Don't worry, young master, even if I try my best, I will not let Zhou Yu make any more progress in Xuzhou!" Sima Yi stood up and said.

"Back in Shouchun, Shiyuan and Gongtai cooperate together to prevent the development of various places from stagnating because of the arrival of the Jiangdong Army." Cao Shu said: "I'll deal with Sun Quan's place."

"How many soldiers are you planning to lead?" Pang Tong asked.

Cao Shu said: "I only wear dragon patterns, flying bears, break the formation and climb the fourth battalion first."

Pang Tong and Sima Yi were both stunned.

Sima Yi said: "There are not many soldiers in the fourth battalion, and Sun Quan brought a lot of people."

"Only Sun Quan can stop using the less to fight with the more." Cao Shuo said: "This time we are facing the Jiangdong Army, we must not only let them lose, but also let them be afraid! Let them be frightened when they see our army in their dreams. If you want to achieve this effect, the best way is to win with the less to win with the more, so that they know that no matter how many people come, they can't do anything to us."

"That's true, but it's too risky." Sima Yi said: "Young master should bring more troops, even if you just let the army station a little further away, and watch the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion defeat the enemy."

"If that were the case, Sun Quan would definitely find a reason to convince him that he would be defeated after his defeat." Cao Shu said: "I just want him to not find an excuse for failure."

He looked at each other and Pang Tong said, "Although what the young master said is correct, I still think it's inappropriate."

"What do Shi Yuan think?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I think Zhongda is right. The young master brings more troops. If there is a mistake, he can come forward to support him at any time." Pang Tong said: "When the young master takes all the initiative, they can just wait and see. As long as the army does not come forward, even if Sun Quan wants to make excuses, there is no reason. Although the Sun family in Jiangdong was once in a downturn, Sun Ce and others even voted for Yuan Shu, they were also from a gentry and still wanted their face."

"Since you both say that, let Ji Ling lead the rear of the palace with 5,000 troops." Cao Shuo said: "I lead the troops to fight in person, and the opponent is Sun Quan again. It is very likely that he can only wait and see from behind and has no chance to go into battle."

"If that's the case, of course it's best." Pang Tong said: "We're just preparing in advance just to be on guard."

"It's not early, you two go back and rest. You have to set off tomorrow morning." Cao Shu said.

"The Jiangdong army is coming soon, why don't the young master order to hurry up?" Sima Yi said: "If you keep going like this, you will never reach Shouchun in just two days."

"Can't Zhongda see the intention of the young master?" Pang Tong said: "General Ju's family followed the army. We can go quickly, but his family can't go quickly. Do you want to leave them?"

"In this way, the army's itinerary was delayed." Sima Yi said: "When the young master returned to Shouchun, although the Jiangdong army could not have reached too much, he had less than one day of rest."

"It's only one day, it doesn't matter." Cao Shuo smiled generously and said to the two of them: "You two can see it, don't go out and talk nonsense."

The three of them were talking in the tent, but they didn't know that there was someone outside the tent.

During the day, someone urged Cao Shu to speed up the journey, and Cao Shu found a reason to make excuses.

Although Ju Yi didn't say anything at that time, the more he thought about it, the less he felt.

After camping, he planned to come to find Cao Shu and suggested that he escort his family to slow down behind him, and the army would return to Shouchun soon.

When he arrived outside the commander's tent, Ju Yi asked Cai Ji, who was guarding outside, “Is the young master here?”

"Here!" Cai Ji replied: "It's just that we are discussing military affairs with General Pang and General Sima."

Ju Yi nodded and was about to leave when Cao Shu and others in the tent mentioned this.

Cao Shu and others were not talking very loudly, and they were not listening very seriously outside the tent.

But Ju Yi heard what he said about not speeding up the march.

"Please report to the young master Cai, and say I have something to ask for my meeting." Ju Yi said to Cai Ji.

"The young master is discussing military affairs, and it may not be good to report it at this time," Cai Ji said with some embarrassment.

"Person Cai just needs to report it. I will take care of what you have," Ju Yi said.

Seeing that he looked like he would not give up until he succeeded, Cai Ji had to turn around and face the tent.

He looked back at Ju Yi.

Ju Yi nodded to him.

Cai Ji had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, General Ju asks for a meeting!"

In the tent, Cao Shu heard that Ju Yi was coming and said to Pang Tong and Sima Yi: "You two go first, I will meet General Ju before I talk about it."
