Chapter 473: Cao Cao and Sun Jian Are a Headache, My Son Has the Potential to Be an Emperor

Cao Cao gently put the wine glass on the table. Looking at Sun Jian's solemn expression, Cao Cao knew that his initial goal had been achieved. The reason why he told Sun Jian this information for free was that he wanted to take the initiative in the next negotiation. Now looking at Sun Jian's expression, he did it himself.

"Since Bo Fu has been promoted to a legendary general, then you must know the rules and methods of promotion. Then I can tell you a more dangerous news."

"What?"

Sun Jian asked subconsciously, but he immediately realized that he was being led by Cao Cao. Sun Jian coughed twice, retracted his thoughts, sat up straight, looked at Cao Cao, and was no longer led by Cao Cao's words.

Cao Cao looked at Sun Jian and couldn't help but smile. Although talking to a smart person may gain less benefits, it will be much more refreshing to talk and do things.

"I can confirm that Zhang Fei has been promoted to a legendary general. During this trip to Xianbei, Zhang Fei was promoted after killing two famous generals. Moreover, Zhao Yun killed four people in the battle. I don't know their specific level, but I can confirm that Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Zhang He are at least at the level of famous generals. These are the information I risked my life to pass on while hiding under the command of Xianbei. There is absolutely no mistake."

It can only be said that these words shocked Sun Jian even more than the previous words. He never thought that Liu Bei had two legendary generals under his command, and there might even be three. This made Sun Jian, who originally had the heart to dominate the world, feel like he fell into an ice cave.

"Meng De, you didn't come here just to tell me this, right?"

Sun Jian calmed down his inner emotions and asked, and Cao Cao smiled heartily.

"Of course not. This time, I came here not only to bring you news about Liu Bei, but also to bring you a way to deal with Liu Bei."

"Oh? What method?"

Sun Jian became interested. Liu Bei is now so powerful, could Cao Cao have a plan to deal with him?

"This requires you and me, Wentai, to put aside our past grudges, so that we can survive in the cracks of Liu Bei's iron fist."

Cao Cao said, taking the wine glass and filling it for the two of them.

"Wentai, you should know that if the two of us cannot cooperate wholeheartedly, no matter who it is, facing Liu Bei alone, there is basically no chance of winning, and we can only wait to be defeated by Liu Bei one by one. Are you willing?"

Sun Jian was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, but it had nothing to do with Cao Cao's question.

"Cao Cao, I just want to ask you one question. What will happen after we two get rid of Liu Bei? Will we divide the territory and govern ourselves, or will we continue to fight?"

"Hahaha, Sun Jian, ah Sun Jian, I have seen too many stupid people, and now I am not used to talking to smart people."

Sun Jian frowned slightly, not quite understanding what Cao Cao meant, Cao Cao continued.

"Of course we will continue to fight, and fight until only one of us can survive. Maybe then, we can spare the life of the loser for the sake of our past cooperation, hahaha."

"In that case, we can continue to talk."

Hearing this, Cao Cao also put away his unruly smile, and he and Sun Jian sat up straight.

"As far as I know, Liu Bei now has many generals under his command. Not to mention the second-rate generals, even the first-rate generals can be called talented. We can easily find dozens of them. We know almost all the famous and legendary generals. Even if the two of us are added together, I am afraid there is only a small difference."

Cao Cao picked up the second glass of wine.

"Liu Zhang has recognized me as his leader. Now the Yizhou army can be used by me. Although the number of soldiers is sufficient, there is only one general."

"Shi Xie also recognized me as his leader. The Jiaozhou army is not even as good as the Yizhou army. There are only two first-class generals left. However, Shi Xie has a special unit under his command. They control the witchcraft and are best at surprise attacks when the two armies are against each other. They can play a role in winning by surprise. The clan leader should be a famous general."

After Cao Cao was frank, Sun Jian was the same. They knew in their hearts that if this was still a secret, they would probably be defeated by Liu Bei even if they joined forces.

"Very good, the first step of our talks is to stop hiding anything from each other. I believe that the cooperation in the future will be smoother."

Cao Cao had not yet drunk the second glass of wine he had been holding. Just as he was holding it, Sun Jian also raised the second glass of wine, and the two clinked glasses for the first time.

"Once the war begins, no matter who Liu Bei attacks, the other party must immediately join the war."

"Yes, but the reason why we didn't succeed in the previous cooperation is that Liu Bei has been clamping down on us in terms of information, which has caused a rift between us."

The two were silent at the same time. They have experienced Liu Bei's strength in stealing information and blocking communications, but there is no good solution for this.

"Let's not talk about this for now. There is another serious problem, that is the infiltration of Liu Bei's subordinates. Last time, I caught four in the baggage camp alone. Even so, I think there are still Liu Bei's spies in the baggage camp, not to mention other places."

Cao Cao said with some worry, rubbing his fingers gently on his temple. In order to prevent this situation, he has begun to divide and rule in the various barracks under his command. Every time there is a war, the orders issued by each barracks are different, for fear that they will have the opportunity to pass them out.

Sun Jian is also very troubled by this.

"I also caught a lot of them some time ago, but just like you said, I feel that there are still a lot of Liu Bei's spies in the barracks. As long as these spies can be rooted out, Liu Bei's news will not be as well-informed as before. With the increase and decrease of one, it may get better."

"Is there any way to catch them all together?"

Cao Cao tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and the two of them fell into thought at the same time.

"There is also the problem of Jingzhou. With Jingzhou lying between us, if we two unite, there will be a lot of trouble."

"Indeed, the problem of Jingzhou must be solved."

Then the two looked at each other, a little embarrassed. They had been raising questions, but they could not solve related problems, and the problems kept accumulating.

After a full afternoon, the two finally walked out of the tent. During the time they talked, Sun Ce and Dian Wei had been guarding outside the door. Not to mention that someone approached, even those snakes, rats, ants and insects did not dare to approach the tent after sensing the breath from the two legendary generals.

"Bofu, here is a letter. Go to the military town on the border of Yongchang County. The prime minister's son Ziwen is besieging the barbarian king Meng Huo there. Meng Huo is very powerful and a fierce general. Go and help Ziwen break the city and bring Meng Huo back."

Sun Jian waved to Sun Ce, and then handed over a letter that should have been written not long ago. The letter was written with strong pen power, and the ink stains soaked through the paper. There were several ink marks on the back of the letter.

"Follow my father's instructions."

Sun Ce saluted Sun Jian with his fists and took the letter.

After the instructions were given, Cao Cao, Dian Wei and Sun Ce, a group of three, left Jiaozhi County in the dark. No one knew what Cao Cao and Sun Jian were going to do.

This was the method they discussed to deal with Gu Rubing's internal response. Whoever should do something should only know it. As for the soldiers under their command, they didn't need to know too much. Although this trick couldn't catch Gu Rubing's spies under their command, it could effectively curb their information leakage.

As long as the relevant information cannot be passed on, it doesn't make much difference whether these spies exist or not.

When Sun Ce, Cao Cao and Dian Wei separated, Cao Cao suddenly took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Sun Ce. When Sun Ce got the jade pendant, his eyes suddenly condensed, because the jade pendant was his father's personal belongings. Not to mention outsiders, even he had seen it only a few times. It was precisely because of this that Sun Ce had a very deep memory of the jade pendant. He was sure that this was his father's piece.

Looking at the astonished Sun Ce, Cao Cao spoke before him.

"Don't worry, this is what your father gave me before he left, because he was afraid that you wouldn't believe what I said, so he gave me this jade pendant. If you still don't believe it, your father also asked me to bring you a message. He said that when you hear this message, you will definitely believe it."

"What is it?"

Sun Ce asked half-doubtfully, frowning and staring at Cao Cao with a little distrust, but he was not too wary, because since the jade pendant was already in Cao Cao's hands, it was enough to explain a lot of things.

"Wen Tai said that my son Bo Fu has the potential to be an emperor."

When these words came out, even Sun Ce, who had become a legendary general, blushed and nodded and saluted.

"Prime Minister Cao, if you have anything else, please tell me."

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao smiled slightly, and Dian Wei on the side also grinned. After all, this kind of words are really too embarrassing.

"Bofu, after you capture Meng Huo, send him to the Gu tribe, and help Miao Moqing suppress Meng Huo, you must not waste any time and leave immediately to Jiujiang County, and wait for your father's order in Jiujiang County."

Looking at Cao Cao's serious expression and the fact that he even knew the secrets of why he captured Meng Huo and what the leader of the Gu tribe was called, Sun Ce understood that he had reached a remarkable cooperation with his father, otherwise Cao Cao would never know this information.

"Prime Minister Cao, I understand."

Sun Ce clasped his fists towards Cao Cao, and Cao Cao and Dian Wei also clasped their fists in return. A shocking conspiracy had already begun when they left Jiaozhi County. At this moment, the live broadcast room could no longer be described as boiling, because Cao Cao and Sun Jian were about to have a meeting in the afternoon. For the first time, the popularity of their live broadcast rooms exceeded that of Gu Rubing's live broadcast room, and it was far beyond it.

As a result, a large number of Gu Rubing's fans left Gu Rubing's live broadcast room and came to the live broadcast room of the two people to watch how the two people found a way out under Gu Rubing's huge pressure.

Not only that, even the vote that was opened before, about who among the three people could finally unify the Han Dynasty, originally Gu Rubing was far ahead with 70% of the votes, but after this afternoon, Gu Rubing's 70% support rate has dropped to only 50%, and there is even a faint trend of continuing to decline. This trend is all due to the almost perfect policy of dealing with Gu Rubing that Cao Cao and Sun Jian discussed in an afternoon.

This incident directly dominated the headlines in the next few days. Everyone was discussing things related to this incident, and there were even experts who combined historical books to analyze whether they had a chance of winning and what their chances were.

Of course, these are all things outside the game, because the people in the game are racking their brains to make various improvements at this moment.

Yongchang County, outside the city wall, Cao Zhang and Meng Huo were fighting for the fifth time. The first four battles ended with Meng Huo's defeat, but Meng Huo became more and more courageous until the fifth battle.

The last time, the two seemed to be evenly matched, but in the final full-strength attack, Cao Zhang still had the upper hand. But this time, Cao Zhang actually had the illusion that he was defeated by Meng Huo, because he felt that every time he swung his halberd, it seemed that Meng Huo easily blocked it, and Meng Huo, holding the Pangu Axe, was able to defend against his attacks with ease, and could even counterattack from time to time.

Finally, in a fight, Cao Cao was hit by Meng Huo's sudden force, and an axe hit the outside of his thigh. A huge wound immediately appeared, and the iron armor was seen through, revealing the bright red flesh and blood inside.

"Hahaha, Cao thief, today I will take your life!"

Meng Huo laughed twice, picked up the axe and rushed. Cao Zhang used the halberd blade to cut a piece of cloth on the cloak on his back, and then tied it tightly to the wound on his leg to prevent the wound from continuing to crack and effectively stop bleeding.

When Cao Zhang finished all this, Meng Huo had already rushed to the close range, and started with his most proficient style of splitting mountains and rivers. This style is the most demanding attack method of force confrontation. Once the defensive force is weaker than the offensive force, the attack will cause the opponent's arms to become numb at the least, and the heavy blow will directly break the arms and kill on the spot.

However, while this attack method is effective, it also exposes his lower body completely, especially for generals like Meng Huo whose lower body is a weakness. This attack method is a taboo, but Meng Huo just likes this kind of attack method that can make the final decision.

This is also related to his martial arts training and military life in the first half of his life. He had never met an opponent, so he developed such a habit, using this move of splitting mountains and rivers as the starting or ending move.

Cao Zhang noticed this early, but he never attacked, waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to kill Meng Huo with one blow, so that Meng Huo could not escape again.

The second time, Cao Zhang had already noticed Meng Huo's strength increase, and the third time was directly confirmed. After Cao Zhang told Cao Cao, Cao Cao naturally guessed that Meng Huo should have some characteristics of improving his strength after failure, so he specifically instructed Cao Zhang to kill Meng Huo when he felt that he was about to be unable to suppress him, and no longer give him a chance, and no longer need to hone himself.
