After meeting Pang Tong, Cao Cao asked people to take Pang Tong down to rest.
We have already got the man. It doesn't matter whether Pang Tong is willing to surrender or not. Just don't assist Liu Bei. Although the time of assistance is not very long and the man disappeared in Luofengpo, Pang Tong's ability is not weak. As long as he assists Liu Bei, he will be able to do anything. It can greatly enhance Liu Bei's strength and promote Liu Bei's development process.
Now that Liu Bei does not have Pang Tong, his development must have stagnated.
"Did Duzhi go visit Xu Shu just now?"
Cao Cao asked.
Chen Zhou nodded and said: "After reading it, Xu Shu's heart should be a little shaken, let him struggle for a while. In his opinion, Liu Bei is not a good person, so we are not a good person either, and neither party wants to join us. But don’t let Pang Tong and Xu Shu meet for the time being.”
Cao Cao said: "I know this. If they meet, there may be some bad results. In addition, the surrounding areas in the north have been calmed down. Next, we can guide the direction with swords."
Chen Zhou said: "We can fight in the south, but before fighting, we must make preparations in advance, such as sailors, warships, etc."
"The Lord has settled the area around the north and accepted many northerners who surrendered, especially the Wuhuan people."
Xun You reminded: "They fight on land and are extremely fierce. Not many people are their opponents. However, Jingzhou has a dense network of rivers and water battles are inevitable. In addition, it is easy to adapt to the acclimatization when suddenly moving from the north to the south."
As long as these cannot be overcome, it will be difficult for them to launch troops against the South.
If you insist on fighting, it's not impossible, but the result won't be very good.
Chen Zhou would not let the failure of the Battle of Red Cliff happen to Cao Cao again, but if he insisted on fighting, there might be another defeat similar to the Battle of Red Cliff, but it would not be called this name.
Regarding the navy, they had mentioned it when they were in the north.
"Yesterday, I gave the order to dig a lake called Xuanwu Lake, and troops will be trained on the lake in the future."
Cao Cao was also prepared.
Chen Zhou objected: "Training on the lake is of no use. The surface of the lake is calm, unlike the big rivers with rough waves. It is better to go directly to the Huaihe River to train, or to the north of Yangzhou or the Yangtze River in the north of the Yangtze River. It is better not to train in the lake." "
Guo Jia agreed: "My lord, I think what Du Zhi said is reasonable."
The surface of a lake is completely different from a large river.
The feeling of training on the lake is completely different from that of training on the river.
After hearing this, Cao Cao was silent for a long time and agreed: "Then we will do what Duzhi said, and we will also build warships. Does Duzhi have any other opinions?"
Chen Zhou shook his head and had no opinion for the time being.
He is not good at warships.
Within the land of China, water warfare has existed for many years. Various warships left by the ancients, such as tower ships, stern ships, etc., are still in use today and can be used directly.
"There is also the matter of being acclimatized."
Cao Cao saw that Chen Zhou had no other objections, so he built warships according to the conventional rules. Then he thought that the northerners would easily become acclimatized when they went south, so he continued: "Collect enough doctors and herbal medicines. If you can find Hua Tuo, take him as soon as possible." Get it back, Zixiu, you will be responsible for this."
As the eldest son, Cao Ang couldn't do nothing and had his own tasks. He nodded and said: "Okay!"
Chen Zhou added: "Gongda missed something just now. If we want to go south, the battle line will definitely be stretched. This is different from the previous situation when we fought in Liaodong. The battle line is also stretched. When we fight in Liaodong, we will gain Under the premise of all advantages, if you go south, the advantages are not yet clear, so you have to stock up on enough food and grass in advance."
This is also an important point. Cao Cao thought it was necessary and said: "Start preparing supplies now. When the navy and warships are ready, there will be enough time! In addition, I will let Cai Mao train the navy and supervise the war effort." Boat……"
He simply said everything he could think of.
Try your best to discuss everything today and then implement it.
In fact, there is not much that needs to be discussed.
Navy, warships, food, grass and medicine, once these are prepared, the problem will not be big.
Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi not only because he was too arrogant and too impatient, but also because he did not prepare things after the war and was eager to fight. After all, the strength that swept the Yuan family at that time could indeed be very large.
After the discussion, Chen Zhou left Cao's house.
He didn't bother to pay attention to Pang Tong and Xu Shu's affairs.
Pang Tong may be a little more difficult to deal with, but Xu Shu should be fine. The next step is to wait for their mentality to change.
arrive home.
Chen Zhou could see the ladies coming towards him. He went to hug Jing'er and then lay down with them at home. He had nothing else to do for the time being. He had to wait for a long time to go to war.
Before I knew it, two more days had passed.
"Husband."
Liu Ling suddenly came over and said softly: "I have a feeling that I want to vomit. It's the same as sister Shan'er at that time. Could it be that she is also pregnant?"
"real?"
Chen Zhou was pleasantly surprised after hearing this.
After hearing what Liu Ling said, the other ladies also came over and looked at Liu Ling's belly.
Liu Ling felt quite embarrassed, so she thought for a moment and said, "How about we ask the doctor to come back and take a look?"
Chen Zhou quickly said: "Come, please invite the best doctor in the city."
Not long after waiting, a doctor came to Chen's house.
"Congratulations, sir, so happy!"
After the doctor took Liu Ling's pulse, he solemnly put away his hand and the silk padding on his wrist, bowed his head and said in congratulations: "My pulse is slippery, I am so happy again."
Today's doctor is also the same person who examined Cao Shan last year.
"Really?"
Liu Ling was so happy that she almost jumped up.
But as soon as she jumped up, she was immediately pushed down by Zou and sat back on the couch.
"The princess is pregnant with a child now, so she can't move too much, let alone jump."
Although Zou has never given birth to a child, she has taken care of Cao Shan, so she has experience.
Liu Ling quickly sat down again, suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, and said with a smile: "I am just too happy, and I will never be like this again."
"Doctor, are you sure?"
Chen Zhou asked.
The doctor stroked his beard and said, "Of course I am sure. Congratulations, sir, and congratulations to the princess."
Chen Zhou laughed for a while, and then said: "Shan'er, give the doctor more consultation fees."
After sending the doctor away, Chen Zhou hugged Liu Ling.
"Husband, do you think it's a son or a daughter?"
Liu Ling had already begun to imagine what would happen to the child in her belly.
Chen Zhou smiled and said: "Both sons and daughters are fine, I like them all."
Liu Ling snuggled into Chen Zhou's arms and whispered, "My husband is so kind."
"Husband, what about us?"
Zhen Mi asked softly.
They asked again, also wanting children.
Chen Zhou has been working very hard recently, but getting pregnant is also a probability event.
However, when they saw that Liu Ling was pregnant, they were full of expectations for the child, eager to be pregnant themselves, and looked at Chen Zhou with fiery eyes.
"In the future, there will be."
Chen Zhou continued to use this reason to persuade them.
