After hearing this, Sun Ce said to Cao Cao, "Oh? But he didn't know what Cao Sikong meant. Why is he so anxious? I have to say it today?"

Liu Bei also asked, "I don't know what Cao Sikong is important, and he has to do this?"

Cao Cao just smiled at what Sun and Liu asked. How could he say that today would have to take the initiative as Cheng Yu said, unless he didn't want to defeat the Liangzhou army, and as long as their Sun and Liu coalition forces could also listen to him, then he would be very sure of this matter.

-----------------------------------------------------

So at this time, I heard Cao Cao say, "General Sun, Xuande, I wonder what the two of you think is the difference between our coalition and the Liangzhou army?"

Sun Ce and Liu Bei were slightly stunned. They really didn't expect that Cao Cao asked them first. This really made them not have much preparation. Yes, Cao Cao could not infer according to common sense. However, although the two were not prepared for what Cao Cao asked, they already knew that Cao Cao was going to ask them, so they were just stunned for a moment and replied immediately.

And they were not caught off guard by this. It was just a question asked by Cao Cao, and it would definitely not have made the two people who had seen so many storms and waves flew around, which was absolutely impossible.

And Sun Ce said first: "What Cao Sikong asked, Ce will answer first! The biggest gap between our army and Liangzhou army is that Ce believes that the combat power of soldiers is still the war power of soldiers. If we talk about water wars, then our Jiangdong army will not be afraid of the Liangzhou army at all, but the current land war..."

Sun Ce knew the following words, and he didn't have to say anything else. Can he not know about Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande?

-----------------------------------------------------

Besides, I am really embarrassed to say that compared to the Yanzhou Army and his Liu Bei Army, the Jiangdong Army has the lowest combat power in land combat, so there is no need to say more about it, no one understands it.

Cao Cao didn't laugh anymore this time. After all, he naturally wouldn't not notice Sun Ce's embarrassing expression now, so if he laughed again, it would be easy to be misunderstood. Cao Cao was not afraid of anything, but if there was unnecessary trouble, then who would be willing to bear it? However, Cao Cao knew very well in his heart that if he had a deeper relationship with him, Sun Ce, then it must be something that Liu Bei would like to see very much. This was just like he especially wanted to see the deeper his resentment between him and Sun Bofu, which was correct.

Although Cao Cao didn't laugh, he still did not forget to give Sun Ce and Liu Bei some dirty things. At this time, he heard him say to Liu Bei: "I don't know what Xuande thinks about this?"

What does Cao Cao mean? As the person involved, Liu Bei was very clear about it. Similarly, Sun Ce also understood this very well. At this time, he saw Liu Bei look at him, and Sun Ce nodded slightly. In his opinion, Cao Cao asked this, of course Liu Bei could not not answer him, that would be bad.

-----------------------------------------------------

When Liu Bei saw Sun Ce's appearance, he certainly understood what Sun Ce meant. So at this time he said to Cao Cao: "Cao Sikong, Bei agreed with General Sun's words. Now our coalition soldiers are in combat power. Compared with the Liangzhou Army, they are indeed a little lacking! Looking at the damage to the two sides today, it is not difficult to find the problem. I wonder what Cao Sikong thinks?"

Before, Sun Ce was a little embarrassed because he was a little embarrassed. So he didn't say too much to Cao Cao. However, Liu Bei basically never knew what to do, so could he think about so many things? And even if he thought about it, with his thick-skinned Liu Xuande, there are a few things in the world that really make him embarrassed. It should be said that it is basically gone.

So Liu Bei and Sun Ce are different. Sun Ce didn't finish his words, but everyone knew what it meant. But Liu Bei was not like this. After he finished speaking, he agreed with Sun Ce and asked Cao Cao back.

In his opinion, he had a bad relationship with him, Cao Mengde. And now he is in the same group as Sun Ce, so naturally he will not give Cao Cao any good colors.

-----------------------------------------------------

Of course, the things on the surface must be maintained well. Does the fig leaf have to be covered? Everyone has to have a piece. But putting aside these others, it won’t be there.

Just like now Liu Bei seems to be in oppressing Cao Cao's army, he asked him back. Liu Bei naturally would not naively think that such a question would make Cao Cao unable to come to Taiwan. As for saying that he could not answer, it would be even more impossible. However, his intention was obvious, and this was just a signal to Sun Ce. The meaning was simple, that is, I was still standing on your side. Look, Cao Mengde and I have a dead grudge, not a deep grudge, but it was definitely a deep grudge, so I definitely couldn't help him.

As for Sun Ce on the other side, of course, he understood what Liu Bei meant. It can be said that the two have known each other for so long and the time they have been in contact cannot be said to be short, so Sun Ce still knows Liu Bei in many places and in many aspects. If it is true that Liu Bei’s heart, then Sun Ce doesn’t know, but he still knows some things on the surface.

Similarly, Liu Bei was the same with him, Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, and the two were each other.

-----------------------------------------------------

Not only Sun Ce, but Cao Cao also understood the same way, so when he heard Liu Bei's question, he laughed, "Hahahaha! Yes, Xuande agrees with General Sun's words, but Cao also agrees with what Xuande said!"

Cao Cao was smarter. He first said that Liu Bei agreed with Sun Ce, and then what the two said was the same. Then he said that he agreed with Liu Bei. This not only meant that he also agreed with Sun Ce, but also had been provoking the relationship between the two. From the beginning to now, it can be said that Cao Cao was silently provoking his plan. As for what it is useful, to be honest, it really didn't work, but Cao Cao never gave up on this.

However, Cao Cao said this, and in the ears of Sun Ce and Liu Bei, they also knew that Cao Cao had not finished speaking yet.

Sure enough, Cao Cao's words turned around and continued to say to the two: "But although Cao also thought so, Cao still had other ideas. I wonder if General Sun and Xuande want to hear it?"

-----------------------------------------------------

The two of them must not say that they don’t want to listen. Cao Cao still has enough face. This is inevitable. Who made him the most powerful among the princes in the world? Moreover, his overall strength is indeed stronger than his two, right?

So I saw Sun Ce saying, "Cao Sikong has something to say, please be in person. Ce and Xuandegong listen with politeness!"

Sun Ce still didn't forget to bring Liu Bei with him. In fact, he also announced to Cao Cao intentionally or unintentionally. That's the point, no matter how Cao Mengde provoked you, Liu Xuande, can only stand by me now!

As for Cao Cao, he didn't care about these things. He glanced at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei smiled at him. "Yes, General Sun's intention is exactly what Bei means!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought, "You Liu Xuande is definitely thick-skinned enough that no one can compare to you, nor can you compare to you! In response, Cao Cao just nodded and said nothing.

-----------------------------------------------------

But what Sun Ce said, Cao Cao had to continue to say, so he said to Sun Ce and Liu Bei again: "General Sun, Xuande, although our soldiers are indeed slightly inferior to the Liangzhou Army, Cao believes that this is not the most important reason. The most important reason is that Cao believes that the Liangzhou Army is the only one who takes charge of the Liangzhou Army, and I am the coalition army..."

I originally wanted Cao Cao and the other three to say in person that their soldiers were not as good as others in combat, but they would not say that. However, they did not have much estimates for this situation now, and there were only six people in the big tent. Besides, who doesn’t know the specific situation, so if you don’t say it, you can’t change the facts, so it’s better to be a bachelor.

And the three of them were a bit knowledgeable. They didn't say that they were inferior to the Liangzhou Army, but said that they were slightly inferior. That means that even if their soldiers were not as powerful as those of the Liangzhou Army, they were indeed not as powerful as those of the Liangzhou Army, but they were just a little worse, so...

When Sun Ce and Liu Bei heard Cao Cao’s words, they thought too much. That’s right, they had to do so!

-----------------------------------------------------

Because Cao Cao's words really touched the fragile nerves of both of them.

Judging from Cao Cao's meaning, it is that when compared with the soldiers of Liangzhou, our side is slightly inferior, but this is not the most important reason. The main reason is that the Liangzhou army has Ma Chao alone, so it is final. So let's look at our side, so there is no need to say more.

Yes, I am not the one who decides alone. Whether it is Sun Ce or Cao Cao, it can be said that they are the two of them. As for Liu Bei, he thought it was pretty good, but without that ability, who can listen to him?

Therefore, Sun Ce and Liu Bei had to think about it. When Sun Ce thought, Cao Mengde wanted to make the decision. After thinking about it carefully, it was really the case. You said that because of the retreat of their Yanzhou army, Cao Mengde temporarily surrendered once. He was humble and came to form an alliance with him. Then when Xiangyang arrived at his Yanzhou army, it changed. But these were all as expected. As long as Cao Mengde was not too much, he naturally would not say anything.

-----------------------------------------------------

But now when I look at it, Cao Mengde is absolutely unsatisfied. Yes, he is not satisfied with the status quo!

Because Liu Xuande is not strong enough, he has to be a dragon and a tiger, so it is naturally not worth worrying at the moment. But Cao Mengde is different. The power and strength of others are all there. Even if he is in Jingzhou now, there are not many soldiers in Yanzhou, but if he is transferred to his troops, his own advantage will be gone.

Originally, Sun Ce thought it was very good. The Yanzhou army was Cao Cao, and the Sun-Liu coalition army was the one who decided by himself, but it was not long before, Cao Cao stopped doing it. He was not saying that he was not very good before, and because he had already joined forces, he still discussed major issues. He didn't say that he didn't give him face, but now he likes to see, this is because Cao Mengde doesn't give him face.

Of course, Sun Ce also understood that Cao Cao's intention was not to make decisions for the Sun-Liu coalition, and he could not do that. It just meant that in terms of war, he would still listen to his orders and say this. But even so, he could not agree to this.

-----------------------------------------------------

In Sun Ce’s view, why do you have to obey your command? Why don’t you say that your Yanzhou army can obey my command?

So when he thought about this, Sun Ce could not agree even more. Of course, he had not thought so much about it. He did not think about Cao Cao's fundamental meaning. Cao Cao was to defeat the Liangzhou army, so he knew that he must argue with reason, but Sun Ce and Liu Bei and others obviously had not seen this yet.
