Chapter 498
Xuchang city
Time passed minute by minute, in Cao Cao's study,
Everyone can't feel the passage of time, and everyone is concentrating on thinking.
Cao Cao didn't urge everyone, he understood that some things take time.
If this difficult problem that has troubled him for several days can be figured out too easily, Cao Cao will not be troubled.
If this problem is not solved, Cao Cao will probably have bigger problems if he wants to unify the whole country in the future.
"Prime Minister, I have a plan!"
"Maybe it can solve the prime minister's urgency. This strategy is called the strategy of borrowing the chicken to lay the egg!"
Finally, after a long wait, Cao Cao finally got the answer he wanted. Jia Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a solution.
"Wenhe, come quickly!"
"What is borrowing chickens to make money, and how to borrow?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of joy on his face. He pulled Jia Xu to sit down with joy, and stood in front of him in person, with kindness and longing in his eyes.
Cao Cao's emphasis on talents is obvious to all, and this is also the main reason why he was able to win over so many advisers.
"Prime Minister, it is natural to borrow the generals in Sun Quan's hands to train the navy for the prime minister!"
"This is a chicken-and-egg strategy!"
Jia Xu's language was not surprising and he said endlessly.
"what!"
"Use General Sun Quan's navy to help me train my troops??"
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao and the others almost bit their own tongues. This is simply too whimsical, if they don't know Jia Xu too well.
Cao Cao will definitely think that Jia Xu has lost his mind and gone crazy!
Sun Quan is not a fool, how could he lend you the navy general and help you train the navy?
"Wenhe, can you elaborate more?"
"The old man is a little confused by what you said!"
Xun Yu next to him also knew Cao Cao's confusion, so he pretended to be confused and asked.
Cao Cao also looked at Xun Yu appreciatively, and then looked at Jia Xu.
"My lord, it's actually a conspiracy!"
"Say it, it's not worth mentioning at all!"
"My lord, you can send someone to negotiate with Sun Quan. If Sun Quan is willing to help the prime minister train sailors and give him all he has learned, the prime minister can give him some benefits!"
"For example, when fighting Jiang Chen, send a navy to assist Sun Quan! Or after the decisive battle, Cao Cao promises not to attack Sun Quan first! Deal with Liu Bei first! In the future, if he surrenders, he promises to seal Jiangdong to Sun Quan!"
"In this way, Sun Quan, with many concerns, and the cooperation of those grassroots officials, bribed a lot of Jiangdong officials!"
"This can be done!"
Hearing Jia Xu's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their eyes lit up again.
This trick is really too extreme.
Especially not attacking Sun Quan first, for Sun Quan, it is simply in his heart.
Sun Quan's current territory directly borders Cao Cao. If Cao Cao wants to unify in the future, he will definitely be the first to attack him.
If Cao Cao was not the first to deal with him, Sun Quan would have more chips to fight for hegemony, and even surrender if it is really impossible.
He, Sun Quan, can still continue to take over the original Jiangdong area, which is already an additional option for Sun Quan.
Now, Sun Quan no longer has much confidence in the general situation of the world, especially the appearance of Jiang Chen directly crushed his self-confidence.
If Cao Cao left him a way out, then Sun Quan could put his heart in his stomach.
Anyway, even if he doesn't win the hegemony, he is still a prince.
"Prime Minister, I think Master Jia's plan is very clever!"
"Not only can it disintegrate Sun Quan's fighting spirit, but also make him unwilling to be an enemy of the prime minister!"
"In the future, maybe we can draw Sun Quan as an ally, and we will be more confident in dealing with Jiang Chen in the future. No matter what, it will be extremely beneficial to the Prime Minister!"
Xun Yu bowed his hands to Cao Cao and expressed his point of view.
"Of course!"
"Prime Minister, although this plan is a conspiracy!"
"But Sun Quan had to cooperate. To Sun Quan, this is beneficial and harmless!"
"Anyway, it's impossible for him to send out the best navy commander. He has the trump card in his hand, so he will definitely be very confident!"
Cheng Yu also nodded.
For Cao Cao and others, they don't care whether you send Lu Xun, the commander of the navy, what they care about is the training methods and the fighting habits of the southerners.
As long as you master these, you will be able to prescribe the right medicine and find ways to restrain yourself.
"The strategy of Wenhe is indeed a deep understanding of the art of war!"
"The truth is very satisfying!"
"Wen He is a talented person. In the future, he will definitely be able to serve as the prime minister of our dynasty like Wen Ruo!"
Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu appreciatively.
He was also very happy in his heart. He never thought that Jia Xu's mind was so flexible, and he came up with such a good idea all at once.
"Prime Minister, the old minister dare not take the credit!!"
"It's just that I don't know who should be sent to negotiate this matter!"
Jia Xu is unwilling to leave Xuchang, the center of power anyway. After all, there are countless people staring at her around her. If she doesn't watch them, who knows if they will make trouble secretly?
"Do you have any suggestions?"
Cao Cao nodded and looked at those present.
"Prime Minister, there should be no fanfare in this matter, after all there are countless spies in Xuchang!"
"If Liu Bei and Jiang Chen find out, it will not be good for Sun Quan!"
"He may refuse to cooperate with the prime minister out of pressure!"
"It must be handled carefully. It is best to send someone secretly. This person does not need to be too outstanding, but he needs to be distinguished!"
"In this way, what you say will have more weight, and you can gain Sun Quan's trust!"
Cheng Yu thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.
"It makes sense!"
"I don't know who is more appropriate to send, what's Wen Ruoke's idea?"
Cao Cao looked at his face and saw the way Xun Yu was holding the wisdom pearl, and immediately understood that Xun Yu must have thought of a good way.
"Prime Minister, I heard that the Prime Minister has a son who can make a poem in seven steps!"
"He has an amazing poetic talent and loves to play. Now, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful!"
"Why don't you let the young master take the beauty with you and travel to the south of the Yangtze River together??"
Hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this was his idea. His son Cao Zhi was not only talented, but also very capable of governing the country.
Cao Cao loved him very much. Cao Zhi liked to play around and write poems. Cao Cao also followed him and sent people to protect him to go to various places.
"Indeed!"
"Let the Ministry of Rites prepare for this matter!"
"Zhi'er happens to be very popular in poetry now, and wants to go to the south of the Yangtze River to enjoy the beautiful scenery!"
"As far as the truth is concerned, the beauty of Yangzhou is well known all over the world, why not let Zhi'er go to Yangzhou for fun!"
Cao Cao said with a smile.
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
