"Two days is enough?" Sun Quan asked, "As soon as Cao Cao comes, will my king withdraw his troops? If the news spreads, won't it make the world think that I am afraid of him?"
"We have to block him here for ten days and a half." Sun Quan said, "As long as he continues to be a coward, and then I retreat, people will not laugh at me."
"King Wu," Lu Su said, "it will not be good for us to waste our money here."
Lu Su still didn¡¯t say a word. Cao Cao may have been playing coward. Cao Cao has not gone to war in the past two days, but it is because things have not been sorted out. When he is ready, you will not be able to retreat even if you want to.
"King Wu," Lu Su thought for a moment and decided to speak tactfully, "What if King Wei goes to war tomorrow?"
"He dares?" Sun Quan's tone suddenly increased a few times, "If he dares to come out, I will deal with him severely."
Lu Su looked at Sun Quan and was speechless again. Where did you get your confidence?
Even though Lu Su leaned towards his side, he knew very well that Cao Cao's Wei State was stronger than Wu State. On land, Wei State's soldiers were more or less stronger than Wu State's. Of course, if it was on the water, Lu Su believed that the soldiers on his side were very strong.
If Cao Cao goes to battle tomorrow, according to Sun Quan's intention, he will not be able to retreat during this period, and can only decide the outcome with Cao Cao here.
In a decisive battle with Cao Cao here, Sun Quan actually does not have any advantage. The right time, place, and people were not on Sun Quan's side.
"King Wu, what if you can't defeat King Wei?" Lu Su simply asked.
"Nonsense," Sun Quan was very dissatisfied with Lu Su's answer, "How can I not be his opponent, Cao Cao?"
Seeing Lu Su's serious expression, Sun Quan asked again, "How many troops does Cao Cao have now? How many troops does this king have now?"
Cao Cao only has 30,000 reinforcements, which Sun Quan has found out through spies, and Sun Quan now has at least nearly 50,000 troops.
Fifty thousand versus thirty thousand, Sun Quan believed that his side would not lose to Cao Cao.
Even if they are pigs, 50,000 pigs are enough to give Cao Cao's 30,000 people a headache.
Seeing Sun Quan¡¯s confident expression, Lu Su was speechless for a moment. Who was worried just now, and now he is so confident again.
Lu Su sighed inwardly. Although he was loyal to Sun Quan, he also knew Sun Quan's character and temper, and knew that if he continued to persuade him, he would only make Sun Quan more unhappy.
He is not Zhang Zhao or Zhang Hong, he does not have that kind of seniority, nor does he have the kind of character that is not afraid of Sun Quan's anger and can continue to persuade him.
Since Sun Quan has decided, it is useless for him to continue to persuade. Sun Quan will not listen anyway. So Lu Su wisely shut his mouth and didn't say much.
On the third day, Sun Quan thought that Cao Cao would continue to be a coward today, so he simply did not take the people out himself and asked Huang Gai to take some of the troops out to call for formation.
He stayed in the camp, but what he didn't expect was that not long after Huang Gai left, his men hurried back to report that Cao Cao led his troops out of the city to confront Huang Gai.
"Hey, won't he continue to be a coward?" Sun Quan expressed surprise at the news.
"King Wu, why don't you go out and have a look." Lu Su said from the side.
Huang Gai didn't have many men and horses, only two or three thousand, and Cao Cao went out of the city in person. His strength must have started with tens of thousands. If there was a fight, Lu Su was worried that Huang Gai would suffer.
"Haha, Zijing, you don't need to worry about this anymore." Sun Quan smiled upon hearing this and said, "General Huang is not a young boy. When he followed my father to the battlefield, I was not yet born."
"Let General Huang deal with Cao Cao, let him know that this king is not so easy to deal with, let alone see him whenever he wants." Sun Quan said.
Lu Su was speechless. How long has it been and you are still playing this little trick?
Lu Su understood what Sun Quan meant.
Cao Cao is the king of Wei and has a very high status. Logically speaking, only Sun Quan can be equal to Cao Cao. Now Sun Quan asked Huang Gai to deal with Cao Cao, which can be understood as contempt for Cao Cao.
This kind of little trick is completely unnecessary in Lu Su's opinion. Doing this may anger Cao Cao. But this is of no use at all. Provoking Cao Cao will only put Huang Gai in danger.
"King Wu, why don't you send someone to reinforce General Huang." Lu Su suggested again.
Lu Su is well aware of Huang Gai's character and temper. It goes without saying that Huang Gai is brave, but his character is too impatient. When encountering a military master like Cao Cao, if he is cheated by Cao Cao, failure is a trivial matter and he is not afraid.We only need to worry about the worst. If we are damaged here or captured, it will be a huge loss for the Wu State and a huge blow to morale.
By then, even if Sun Quan had 100,000 elite soldiers, he would not be able to defeat Cao Cao's 30,000 reinforcements.
"King Wu," Sun Quan seemed to have full confidence in Huang Gai, he said, "I believe that the old general, even if there are few others, will not be taken advantage of by Cao Cao."
