1560 , Cao Cao's Anxiety
Without Wang Yun's stopping, no one in Xu Duli could compete with Cao Cao and let Cao Cao do whatever he wanted.
Over the past period of time, Cao Cao's control over Xu Du has been strengthened again, and many small forces that had been swaying in the past were either forced to surrender to Cao Cao or destroyed by Cao Cao.
Smart people know that Cao Cao was preparing for his way south. After he went south, he would not allow chaos, otherwise it would have extremely adverse consequences for him.
After cleaning Xu Du for so long, Cao Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The anger after being attacked by someone finally felt much more relieved. The anger came out, and Xu Du was sorted out several times by himself. His control over Xu Du was strengthened, so Cao Cao's mood began to improve.
When Cao Cao got angry, Xu Du was equivalent to entering a cloudy day. Many people felt depressed and were in a heavy mood because they were afraid that when Cao Cao would vent that tone on them.
Now Cao Cao's mood has improved, and Xudu is just a sunny day, which makes many people feel relieved. After the rain, the days will be better again.
Xu Du people felt that life was better, but this feeling had not lasted for long. After the news of Liu Xin's fleet sailing reached Xu Du, Cao Cao's face changed again, and he became even more gloomy than before after being attacked by someone before.
His gloomy face was even more gloomy than Cao Cao's father died. The weather in Xudu suddenly entered a state of thunder and rainstorm.
Fuck! Many people cursed that they couldn't live this life.
The officials and servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion walked carefully and did their own work carefully.
Cao Cao was in a bad mood. Once he made a mistake, he was likely to be dealt with severely, or even lost his life.
"hateful!"
Cao Cao held the latest newspaper in Youzhou, clenched his teeth and squeezed out two people from his mouth.
The subordinates who were called down below all lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak nonsense.
This newspaper talks about the details of Liu Xin, Princess Ninghe of Youzhou, taking the fleet to march on the expedition. It has been nearly a month since Liu Xin went out to sea, and this newspaper is about ten days later than the information sent back by Cao Cao's spies in Youzhou.
More than ten days ago, Cao Cao's information sent back from the spies knew the size of Liu Xin's fleet, so he was in a bad mood and his face turned gloomy. Today, after reading the newspaper, Cao Cao's gloomy face aggravated a little more.
For nothing else, it was because of the huge fleet that made Cao Cao anxious.
Although Yang Xiu had said before that Liu Zhe built warships on a large scale and was beneficial to Cao Cao, when his spies sent the information back with adjectives such as countless soldiers and countless warships, and after knowing the huge scale of the fleet, Cao Cao still couldn't help but feel anxious because it was too terrible.
Since Liu Zhe has the money to build so many warships, does that mean that he also has so much money to build troops on land?
Are you still maintaining such a huge warship team and maintaining such a huge land army on land? The one million soldiers and horses in the past are real? Will it have expanded to two million or three million now?
Cao Cao was a suspicious person. The more he thought about it, the more scared he was. He even felt that Liu Zhe had millions of soldiers, or even tens of millions of soldiers. If there were so many, then he would be a big fuck.
The more Cao Cao thought that in addition to scaring himself in his heart, he also felt a little depressed. Is there any way to fight such an opponent?
Cao Cao didn't speak, and his face became less and less beautiful, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more depressing. Cao Cao's men did not dare to speak out, and no one dared to speak out.
But at this time, someone still spoke out.
"Master!" someone stood up and said.
When everyone saw that it was Yang Xiu.
However, Yang Xiu called out the lord, but Cao Cao did not respond and seemed to hear it.
"Master!" Yang Xiu could not do anything, so he could only shout again.
"Ah? Well, it's Dezuki, what's the matter?" Cao Cao was so immersed in his mind just now that he didn't hear Yang Xiu call him.
"Lord, are you worried about Liu Zhe?" Yang Xiu asked.
"Um."
Cao Cao did not hide and said directly: "Liu Zhe's fleet is huge. What do you think?"
"Why worry lord?"
Yang Xiudao: "My subordinates once said that if the warships cannot be on the shore, what's the use of Liu Zhe even if there are many warships? Could it be that he still wants to take a boat to Xudu?"
Yang Xiu is usually arrogant and looks at his colleagues with his eyes squinted, and everyone doesn't like him. But at this time, Yang Xiu's words made other colleagues in the hall nod and agree.
"Lord, Master Yang said it well."
Cheng Yu also spoke out: "No matter how many warships there are, they cannot get ashore."
"Yes, it's also a huge cost to build so many warships, which may be a good thing for us." Jiang Ji said.
"Yes, lord."
Man Chong also said: "Even if Youzhou is rich in the world, the cost of so many warships is huge. He, Taiwei Liu, did this, is a great honor. For you, isn't this a good thing?"
Seeing that everyone agreed with him, Yang Xiu felt proud. But he was unhappy about Man Chong's bragging about Youzhou.
"snort."
Yang Xiu disagreed with Man Chong's words and snorted coldly: "It's the most prosperous world? I think this is a boast? Isn't the lord also claiming to be hundreds of thousands of troops under his command? It's not a fool to others."
When Cao Cao heard this, his face turned dark. Yang Xiu's words were simply revealing his fig leaf. However, after hearing Yang Xiu's words, Cao Cao felt that what Yang Xiu said made sense.
The purpose of exaggerating one's own advantages is to bluff others.
Maybe Liu Zhe is the same? Cao Cao couldn't help thinking this way.
"Lord, don't worry."
Cao Hong came out and said, "Even if Liu Zhe has many troops, his subordinates will defeat them for the lord."
"Reckless man!"
Seeing Cao Hong coming out to speak, Yang Xiu couldn't help but whisper disdain next to him.
