Chapter 322, The Weakest Opponent

The joy in Cao Cao's heart was no less than that of the others, even more so, because he was a monarch and was really unwilling to starve to death in the sea.

But precisely because he is a monarch, no matter how happy he is, he cannot show it on his face, but shows a calm and calm posture, as if everything is expected and under control.

At this moment, he was still the invincible Emperor Wu of Wei.

In comparison, the straightforward Xu Chu had a completely different reaction. The smile from his heart was stronger than the first time he entered the bridal chamber in person.

"My lord, I will lead a group of people to find out the news and get some food on the way."

"No rush."

Cao Cao waved his hand, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Xu Chu was confused and looked at everyone.

Chen Gong smiled and said: "General, have you ever read the Art of War?"

"I've read it!"

"There is a saying in Sun Tzu's The Art of War, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be in danger of a hundred battles!"

At this moment, Chen Gongtai also regained his appearance of wearing feather fan and silk scarf, talking and laughing happily.

He fully agreed with his lord's decision. Although they found land, they could not log in rashly because they didn't know anything about this land.

For example, who is the ruler, how many troops there are, how equipped they are, and whether the city is strong.

If you rush to log in fully armed, you will definitely alert the enemy.

Cheng Yu also echoed: "Yes, we don't have much food and grass, so we can't move. Once we send out troops, we must gain a foothold in the shortest possible time."

Xu Chu was a little unconvinced and retorted: "Two military advisors, the last general is going to inquire about the news."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "You are too reckless. I sent you there. Maybe if you encounter some problems, you can start a fight with them."

"I"

Xu Chu wanted to speak, but found that he had nothing to say.

If a man is upright, how can he not fight back after being beaten?

Well, I'm really not fit to go.

Cao Cao walked towards Cao Ren and patted his shoulder: "Zixiao, you are the most stable among my Cao family's children. I can rest assured that you are doing things well!"

Cao Ren was about to take the initiative to ask for help. Hearing this, he immediately raised his hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will live up to my command."

"Promise me that no matter how humiliated you are, you will never act rashly. You must know that a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years!"

"You will eventually understand."

"Go and pick a dozen smart soldiers to go with you. Also, no one is allowed to wear armor."

Cao Cao knew very well that once they log in as regular troops, they will inevitably arouse the enemy's vigilance.

If the war reaches a stalemate, they will be unable to move due to food shortages and unfamiliarity with the terrain.

In short, if you don’t fight this first battle, it will be enough. If you fight, you will win.

"As you command!"

Afterwards, Cao Ren went to select a dozen of his own soldiers who were highly skilled in martial arts and calm-minded to accompany him.

As the group set off, Cao Ang suddenly stood up and said, "Father, I'm going with my uncle."

It turned out that he had quietly taken off his armor and put on civilian clothes. It was obvious that he had already made plans to go with him.

"No!"

Cao Cao shook his head. Although he was still prosperous in this life, the only ones who could satisfy him in terms of abilities were his eldest son Cao Ang and Cao Chong, who was still in his early childhood.

Perhaps it was due to the debt he had suffered in his previous life. Cao Cao had always felt guilty towards his eldest son, so he valued him even more in this life.

Cao Ang had long expected that his father would object, so he said what he had planned in advance, which was also what he felt in his heart.

"Father, if I have been living under your wings, how can I be on my own? Don't worry, I am not an impulsive and reckless person, nor is I a weak scholar who cannot lift a sword."

Cao Cao could see that he was determined, but he still warned: "We know nothing about the enemy, and this trip may be risky."

"If he dies like this, he is not worthy of being Cao Cao's son, so what's the use of living?"

Cao Cao was silent for a long time.

"Forget it, since you have already thought about it, go ahead."

"Father, wait a moment. I'll go and come back."

So, under the gaze of everyone, a group of more than a dozen people rushed to the land in a small boat and set foot on a foreign land.

Cao Cao's eyes were fixed on the backs of the group of people, and he still did not look back until they disappeared from sight.

Chen Gong, who was standing by, saw his sorrow and said in deep thought: "My lord, there is no need to worry. According to historical records of the Japanese country, this country was extremely backward. The weapons used at this time were very crude, and most of them were stone tools."

"Therefore, I believe that even if we only have tens of thousands of soldiers left to fight, it is not difficult to conquer this country as long as we handle it properly."

Cao Cao looked at Chen Gong and said with a smile: "Did Gongtai deliberately understand this country?"

"I just read a few words on the way. The Han Dynasty never paid attention to this small barbarian country, so there are few records."

"It seems we have a winning chance."

In fact, Cao Cao also tried to understand this country before setting off, but found that there were only a few records, making it difficult to truly understand this country.

However, just know that they are lagging behind in development.

If it weren't for the fact that after a long voyage, the soldiers of the three armies were not accustomed to the acclimatization and were unable to regain their combat strength for a while, Cao Cao would not even conduct a pre-war investigation and would just kill them all.

About a few hours later, in the evening, a soldier who followed Cao Ang and Cao Ren to inquire for information returned in a small boat.

"I would like to inform my lord, after the investigation by the eldest son and us, we found that there are only a few sparsely populated villages within a radius of ten miles. The eldest son and the general suggested that the lord can land on the spot and only need to send people to control these villages."

"Well, I understand, back off!"

Cao Cao nodded, then looked at Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun and others.

"Send the order, and the entire army will disembark in an orderly manner."

"Zhong Kang, Yuan Rang, you two each lead your own troops as vanguards. Anyone who finds traces of the army will be captured."

"Take your orders!"

The generals were granted a general amnesty, because if they didn't get ashore, they would vomit, and the bumps along the way would not be pleasant.

On the other side, Cao Ang and Cao Ren finally arrived at the first Japanese city after several hours of hurrying and slow driving.

Although it is said to be a city, it is actually just an earthen city. Even though it is crudely built, it is still very small. I am afraid it would be too high to put up a ladder.

"Is this the capital of Japan?"

Cao Ang subconsciously felt that he had been cheated, so he looked at the tied-up Japanese man next to him.

A city of this level was probably not comparable to even a county town of the Han Dynasty. The simple leather armor and stone gun heads of the soldiers at the gate made him unbelievable.

He didn't want to underestimate the enemy, but he had to admit that this time the enemy was the weakest in history.

"%%"

The man was explaining something in a gibbering voice, but Cao Ang couldn't understand the language and couldn't understand what the other person wanted to express, so he simply knocked him unconscious with a palm.

"Enter the city!"

"Master, how should we deal with this person?"

"Fix it yourself."
