"This Cao Shuo... It really showed me a lot of tricks that I hadn't seen before! ”

In Liu Bei's military camp, Zhuge Liang sighed with a sad face.

As a military advisor, he thought of many ways to fool Cao Shuo, but in the end he failed.

Now Cao Jun is advancing meticulously, gradually compressing the activity space of Liu Bei's army, which makes Liu Bei even more miserable.

As long as it was a frontal battle, Liu Bei would be completely unable to resist.

And Cao Shuo still has two hundred artillery pieces in hand, which makes Liu Bei have no chance.

If it goes on like this, it will be really difficult for Liu Bei to resist Cao Shuo's advancement.

At this time, Liu Bei had retreated to Xinye, which was the last line of defense north of the Yangtze River.

And Cao Jun has already arrived at the city, looking like he will not give up.

Liu Bei is discussing with Zhuge Liang whether to continue to resist this time, or to retreat directly.

"What do we do now?" Liu Bei turned his head and asked Zhuge Liang, who was drinking tea.

Now Pang Tong is directly seriously injured, which also makes Liu Bei pay more attention to Zhuge Liang.

"In the last battle, we really suffered heavy casualties, and if we continue to attack now, it is estimated that we will only cause greater losses!" Zhuge Liang thought for a while, looked at the map for a long time, and said slowly:

"But now we can directly withdraw to the south of the Yangtze River and defend Xiangyang City, even if the Cao army has divine artillery in hand, there is nothing to do with the waterway!"

"It's... That's all it can be! ”

Liu Bei said with a sad sigh.

At this time, Liu Bei was very unwilling, and he couldn't bear to watch his carefully prepared plan come to naught.

But now there is only one way, which is to retreat to the area south of the Yangtze River to continue to develop its own power.

If you don't retreat and spend a while with Cao Jun, then it will be really a big trouble.

So, that night, Liu Bei took advantage of the night to quickly cross the river.

The next day, Cao Shuo and Cao Ang entered Xinye Castle and declared the battle basically victorious.

"Why don't we continue the pursuit now?" At this time, Cao Ang asked Cao Shuo again.

"Of course it's not necessary!"

Cao Shuo smiled slightly and continued: "The Yangtze River is their natural retreat barrier, and it is really not easy for us to fight through it now. ”

"I see..."

Cao Ang thought about it and said.

At this time, Cao Shuo continued to add:

"Our current warships are about to be manufactured, and when the time comes, as long as we can drive through, the entire Yangtze River will be ours, and then we will reach the south and hit them with artillery at will!"

"You're such a god!"

Cao Ang nodded and then said, "Then the other side is still fighting now, should we go over to support Dad?" ”

"I don't think so!"

Cao Shuo shook his head and then said: "Dad can get to this point, but it's not just because of me, Sun Quan has lost Liu Bei's flank attack now, and he is not qualified to confront Cao Jun head-on!" ”

There was nothing wrong with what Cao Shuo said, and not long after Liu Bei crossed the river, Sun Quan ran away.

Relying on Sun Quan's strength alone, he couldn't resist Cao Cao's attack.

After Sun Quan returned to Jiangdong, the pattern once again became a group of people developing across the Yangtze River.

To the south of the Yangtze River are Liu Bei and Sun Quan, while in the rest of the world, it is Cao Cao.

Cao Shuo and Cao Ang returned to Xuchang with the army and were warmly welcomed by the people at the gate!

The current people really support Cao Cao from the bottom of their hearts.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that so many of Cao Cao's measures are for the sake of the majority of civilians, if Cao Jun's army is really defeated, how can the people accept it?

In addition, there is another reason why Cao Jun was so cheered at this time.

This time it was Cao Ang who was in charge.

You must know that in the past month, Cao Ang's identity has changed dramatically!

Now Cao Ang is the first handsome guy in Xuchang, the prince charming in the hearts of all girls!

Especially Cao Shuo has now given him an all-round package again, and he is now Pan An wearing a prince's suit and riding on a white horse.

As soon as they passed by the city gate, countless enthusiastic girls screamed wildly in an instant, and there was still a burst of flowers and flying kisses on Cao Ang's body.

If Cao Shuo hadn't met him earlier and let his Flying Tigers personally come here to do security work, maybe Cao Ang would really be dragged away by these crazy girls.

Subsequently, Cao Shuo continued to make Cao Ang shine.

The next day's magazine featured an article with the following headlines:

Cao Ang Gongzi returned triumphantly yesterday, but he was ravaged by thousands of girls at the gate of the city, and now he is still in Gentle Township....

Subsequently, Cao Shuo returned directly to his home.

Although Cao Cao is now making a big fanfare to hold a celebration party for Cao Shuo and Cao Ang, Cao Shuo chose to hurry home to accompany his daughter-in-law first.

is mainly the occasion of the celebration party, Cao Shuo really doesn't like it very much, and it is contrary to the junior high school where he brushes up points.

For Cao Shuo, choosing a free life is the most important thing.

Next, it is time to prepare for the continued development of ships.

On this day, Cao Shuo had just returned from the shipyard when he saw a soldier rushing over with an anxious face:

"Cao Shuo's son... It's not a good thing, now Cao Chong's son he..."

"What?"

Hearing this, Cao Shuo's whole body suddenly tensed.

Cao Chong died young, as if it was at this age.

Could it be that he is now...

"Let's go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Cao Shuo directly dragged the soldiers and sprinted towards Cao Cao's mansion.

Now Cao Chong is still an adult, so he still lives with his mother, Mrs. Huan.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Cao Shuo did not hesitate at all, and directly kicked the door open and rushed in.

"Auntie, how is Cao Chong doing now?"

Cao Shuo asked anxiously.

"Cao Shuo, you can be regarded as here!"

Mrs. Huan's face was full of anxiety at this time, and when she saw Cao Shuo coming over at this time, she was also a little moved in her heart.

Usually, Cao Chong and Cao Shuo have a good relationship, and they also sent some things to Mrs. Huan by the way.

For example, glass mirrors, Cao Shuo sent a lot to Mrs. Huan before mass production.

This also made Mrs. Huan have a good impression of Cao Shuo.

"Now Doctor Hua Tuo is treating Cao Chong!"

Mrs. Huan choked up as she spoke: "But when I saw Dr. Hua Tuo's appearance just now, I felt that the situation was not good!" ”

"Don't worry, auntie!"

Cao Shuo hurriedly got up and comforted: "Hua Tuo Medical Saint has the ability to rejuvenate with wonderful hands, Cao Chong must have nothing to do!" ”

Then, Cao Shuo hurriedly came to the house, and happened to meet Hua Tuo walking out anxiously.

"Doctor Hua Tuo, how is Cao Chong's situation?"

Cao Shuo also hurriedly asked Hua Tuo.

"Now the situation of Cao Shuo Gongzi is not optimistic!" Hua Tuo said after bowing to Cao Shuo.

"How..."

When Cao Shuo heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

What kind of illness did this Cao Chong have that made Hua Tuo so anxious?
