Meeting across time and space was always a touching scene.
Fortunately, Cao Cao wasn't a commoner, so he quickly reined in his emotions. He only looked at Ouyang Shuo with a trace of familiarity, no longer as cold as before.
To Ouyang Shuo, this was enough.
"Why did you come to see me?" Cao Cao asked.
Ouyang Shuo cupped his hands together and bowed slightly. "I ask the Prime Minister not to retreat for the time being."
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes turned cold and the atmosphere instantly froze. After a while, he said word by word, "Do you know what you're saying?"
The burning of the Red Cliffs was the most glorious moment of Cao Cao's life, when he suddenly suffered a crushing defeat. Cao Cao was naturally unhappy with Ouyang Shuo bringing up the past again.
On the other hand, a glint flashed across Jia Xu's eyes.
"Prime Minister, please wait!" Ouyang Shuo remained unmoved. In terms of momentum, or rather, the aura of a tyrant, Ouyang Shuo did not lose to Cao Cao. It was just that he deliberately restrained it.
"Speak!"
"What the Prime Minister is worried about is the annihilation of the navy and the loss of control of the natural strongholds of the Han River and the Yangtze River. I'm not talented, but I've brought twenty thousand sailors with me, and they can be used by Prime Minister. "
"Only 20,000?" Cao Cao sneered.
"Although twenty thousand isn't a lot, their battle prowess is extraordinary. I can guarantee that no matter how strong the Sun and Liu Navy's allied armies are, they won't be able to break through the defense line of these twenty thousand sailors because the two sides aren't even on the same level. "
"How arrogant!" Cao Cao was furious and impatient.
"I wouldn't dare to lie in front of the Prime Minister. Why don't the Prime Minister go and take a look? After seeing it, I believe that the Prime Minister will change his mind. "
What one hears may be false, but seeing is believing.
The ocean fleets were one of the strongest fleets in the world at this stage. Regardless of whether it was their warships or equipment, they were far superior to the Han Dynasty's navy.
Everything else aside, just the cannons alone were enough to make Zhou Yu's navy suffer.
Cao Cao's expression flickered. For the sake of Xiahou Ying, he finally chose to compromise. "Sure, but if you can't satisfy me, you know the consequences."
"Please!"
Ouyang Shuo smiled and led the way.
Cao Cao was an ambitious and ruthless person. He was definitely not resigned to his defeat. Therefore, even though Ouyang Shuo's words sounded very mysterious, Cao Cao still did not arbitrarily refuse.
Just like that, the group left the city in a grandiose manner.
The Lord players along the way could only look on with envy.
"He's still the best. Even a big boss like Cao Cao has to show up!"
"That's right!"
"Hey, I say, don't flatter him. No matter how capable Wu Yi was, what could he do in such a situation? In the end, he had no choice but to retreat obediently. "
"That's right. If I had known this would happen, I would have chosen Sun Liu's camp."
"Hey, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's hurry up and see if we can get a mission to subdue a historical general. Being able to recruit a general from the three countries was a worthwhile trip. Don't think about anything else. "
The feudal lords of Cao Cao's camp no longer had any hope of winning the war. So, they turned their attention to Cao Cao's generals and strategists, hoping to reap some benefits before leaving.
When Ouyang Shuo heard this, he didn't say anything and brushed past him.
…
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed when he saw the three thousand Divine Guardians. He had been on the battlefield all his life and his eyes were sharp. He could tell that the Divine Martial Guards were not ordinary.
In comparison, even Commander Xu Chu's Night Guards could not compare.
To be able to nurture such elite troops, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo's mount, Xiao Qing, Cao Cao and the others were shocked. The tall and mighty Xiao Qing was a bit unconventional. It was impossible for it not to attract attention.
With just these two moves, Cao Cao no longer underestimated the Inhuman army and began to take them seriously. As for the navy that he was about to visit, he was looking forward to it.
Ouyang Shuo calmed down when he saw this.
Jiangling Ferry.
Zheng He's fleet appeared on the surface of the Han River using the Great Universal Shift. Such a strange event inevitably caused panic.
Fortunately, Zheng He had given them instructions and temporarily calmed their morale.
The Han River's surface was a bit narrow for the ships. It could only allow three to four warships to travel side by side. Among the fleet, three uniquely shaped sailing battleships stood out like cranes among chickens.
On the sailing battleship, a dozen or so British engineers stood on the deck, pointing at Jiangling City not far away. To them, this could be considered as a novel experience.
The Divine Martial Guards were discovered by the fleet's lookouts the moment they appeared on the horizon.
"The Lord has come up!" The soldiers were overjoyed.
The Divine Martial Guards' signature cloak was too eye-catching.
When Zheng He received the news, he immediately disembarked with a group of generals and went to the shore to welcome them.
"Greetings, Lord!"
With a swoosh, all the soldiers bowed in unison.
"Greetings, Lord!"
Then, the soldiers on each warship lined up neatly and bowed in unison.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by the soldiers' shouts, the cannons fired in unison.
Such a formation was truly shocking.
Ouyang Shuo nodded in satisfaction. "Rise!"
"Thank you, Lord!" Another wave of anger soared to the sky.
This scene shocked Cao Cao and the others.
Ouyang Shuo pretended not to notice Cao Cao's strange gaze. According to the rank of nobility, Ouyang Shuo's rank was higher than Cao Cao's.
Cao Cao didn't even dare to think of addressing him as Lord.
Cao Cao didn't expect that the ordinary mutant in the city lord's mansion would have such power and status. In front of the army, Ouyang Shuo was as immovable as a mountain, exuding an indescribable majesty.
Cao Cao had to rebirth to examine Ouyang Shuo, but he couldn't see through him. This young man seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, mysterious yet approachable.
"Heroes come from the young!" Cao Cao sighed.
Ouyang Shuo smiled without saying anything. The battle map had its own rules. He wouldn't challenge Cao Cao's position. He smiled and said, "Prime Minister, let's take a look at the warship!"
When Cao Cao and the others saw the five-story tall warship and the huge sail warship, their eyes widened in shock. Even the largest warship in Sun Quan's navy was only comparable to a warship of the Bi 'an.
Comparing the two, they weren't on the same level.
In the minds of Cao Cao and the others, the bigger the warship, the more powerful it would be.
Therefore, Cao Cao believed Ouyang Shuo's "bold words" at the city lord's mansion. However, Cao Cao was still Cao Cao. He was naturally paranoid and wouldn't come to a conclusion unless he personally experienced the power of an ocean fleet.
…
After boarding Dragon Head, Cao Cao had a different feeling.
Although Cao Cao couldn't swim, he had studied the navy before the Battle of Red Cliffs. None of the battleships had shocked him as much as the Dragon Head.
On the deck, Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "Commander-In-Chief Zheng, show the Prime Minister the fleet!"
"Yes!"
Zheng He nodded and took over the task of explaining.
Cao Cao was also a studious person. He pulled Zheng He along and asked all sorts of questions, full of interest. He was also an expert. Every time he asked a question, he would hit the nail on the head, which made Zheng He admire him greatly.
After all, the two were separated by several dynasties.
Ouyang Shuo stood to the side and smiled without saying a word. Suddenly, Ouyang Shuo saw Jia Xu standing on the side of the deck, looking into the distance. He casually leaned over and bowed. "Greetings, Mister!"
"I wouldn't dare!"
Jia Xu stepped aside. After witnessing Ouyang Shuo's "military parade," a smart person like Jia Xu wouldn't put on airs in front of Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo smiled. Jia Xu was obviously on guard against him. As expected of a Poison Warrior, Jia Xu's wariness wasn't ordinary. "I've long heard of Mister's name. It's my honor to meet you today! "
"Excuse me!"
Jia Xu's expression softened. No one could refuse praise. Words of praise coming from the mouth of a person of Ouyang Shuo's status were even more extraordinary.
"Mister should know the difference between this place and the Main Plane, right?" Ouyang Shuo continued to probe.
"I know a thing or two."
"It's not that I'm talking nonsense, but in the Main Plane, my territory is the number one under the heavens. My territory has an army of more than a million soldiers, a vast territory, and a large number of valiant generals and famous officials. Bai Qi, Han Xin, Huo Qubing, Xiao He, Fan Li, Wei Yang, and the others are all civil and military officials of my territory. "Ouyang Shuo casually introduced the situation of Shanhai City.
The more Jia Xu listened, the more shocked he became.
Jia Xu's intuition told him that this mutant in front of him wasn't lying.
"Mister, a genius!" Jia Xu echoed, still calm and collected.
Ouyang Shuo, on the other hand, became more and more fond of him. He continued to clarify the topic, "My territory has countless famous officials and valiant generals, but I lack a top-notch strategist to advise me."
"With your name, you should be able to find a strategist that suits you."
Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "Throughout the thousands of years, how many people can be called a top-notch strategist?" As he spoke, he inadvertently revealed a domineering aura that looked down on the world, causing Jia Xu's eyes to freeze.
Changing the topic, Ouyang Shuo continued, "Mister's talent is the talent of a king. Among all the strategists in history, there are only a few who can compare to Mister. "
"Mister, you flatter me!" Jia Xu was really able to keep his composure.
"Mister, are you really not going to consider it?" Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to make his words clear.
"Mister, you must be joking." Jia Xu avoided the topic.
Ouyang Shuo sighed in his heart. It was really difficult to subdue a historical figure. Even with Ouyang Shuo's current top-notch qualifications, no matter how much effort he put in, he still wouldn't bow down to Mister.
The legendary domineering aura of a king really couldn't be believed.
Ouyang Shuo wasn't discouraged, as long as he got to the point. "It won't be too late for Mister to decide when the battle ends. The doors of Shanhai City will always be open for Mister, even in the Main Plane. "
Saying this, Ouyang Shuo turned and left.
Looking at Ouyang Shuo's back, Jia Xu's expression was uncertain.
…
In the control room, Zheng He was already demonstrating the power of the cannons to Cao Cao.
"Rumble!" With a volley of cannons, the "warships" that were supposed to be the enemy sunk in two or three shots. Cao Cao's eyes widened when he saw this. He had never seen such a "divine weapon" before.
"Good, good, good!" Cao Cao laughed.
