Xu Ducheng, Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this time, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, who was short in stature and had white hair, was sitting cross-legged, holding a battle report in his palm, and was slowly reading it.

Take a look!

Cao Cao's face became more and more shocked, until the end, he was even more shocked, threw away the battle report, gasped, and hissed: "This... Guan Yunchang is so strong, and Jingzhou Sailor is also so strong? ”

"It's incredible!"

For a while, seeing Cao Cao showing such a shocked look, Cheng Yu, the old minister on the side, couldn't help but be suspicious, so he slowly stepped forward, picked up the battle report that had just been thrown away, and then watched.

After looking at it, Cheng Yu, who has always been as calm as water, and has no waves on his face, can't help but relax slightly.

"Zhongde, you said that this king listened to Dong Gongren's policy and let Guan Yunchang return to the mountain, would it be a wrong decision?"

At this time, Cao Cao couldn't help but raise his head suddenly, his eyes were firmly fixed on Cheng Yu's body from the side, and he said calmly.

Hearing this, Cheng Yu was stunned, then thought for a moment, and slowly arched his hand: "King Wei, in Yu's opinion, Dong Gongren is not to blame for this matter, and it has nothing to do with King Wei!" ”

"This is because we underestimated Guan Yu's strength and overestimated Wu Jun's strength."

"I thought that with the combat power of the Wu army's water division, a water battle on the river, not to mention destroying the Jingzhou army, but at least it was more than enough to drag it out and prevent Guan Yunchang from leading the main force back to help!"

"In this way, the war is also beneficial to our side, at least we can seize the opportunity, rest and recuperate, and wait for the day."

"But I didn't expect that the Wu army would be so vulnerable, Hanjin was defeated, the Wu general Gan Xingba was beheaded by Guan Yun's long formation, and the important town of Xiakou was lost."

A word.

Cheng Yu couldn't help but feel heartbroken, in the face of such a clumsy soldier Wu, he had no other way but to lament!

"Alas!"

At this moment, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh deeply, revealing a few points of jealousy.

Guan Yu is really too strong.

Originally, the reason why he agreed with Dong Zhao's strategy was that the Jingzhou army did not kill them all, and released Guan Yu back to the mountain.

All these factors are based on the strong combat strength of the Wu army's naval division, and Cao Cao and all the people under his command assert that it must not be a problem for the Wu army to block the Jingzhou army that is back to defense!

Because, in the Jianghuai defense line, Cao Cao also fought several battles with Sun Quan, and naturally saw the strength of the Wu army's naval division.

He also felt that with the combat power of the Wu Army's naval division, Guan Yu would definitely be powerless to fight on the river!

However, now, the defeat of Hanjin, the loss of Gan Ning, and the general battle report of the attack on Xiakou came, but he couldn't help but feel the slightest tricky.

Because, what Cao Cao wants to see is a situation in which Guan Yu and Wu Jun are facing each other and are unable to hold each other, rather than a situation in which one family is dominant.

However, judging from the development of the current situation, it is obvious that the aura of Guan Yu's army is too strong, and it has the ability to suppress the Wu army vaguely!

This is not what Cao Cao wants to see.

After all, the flooding of the Seventh Army is still vivid in his mind!

Guan Yu, in this life, he never wants him to have another chance to invade.

"Zhongde, if you knew this was the case, you shouldn't have done this in the first place, but you should have killed them all and completely eliminated the disaster."

"Now, if Guan Yu is released, I am afraid it should really be a return to the mountain."

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao looked calm, but there was a slight regret in his words, and he muttered.

The voice fell.

Cheng Yu, who was over seventy years old on the side, couldn't help but stroke his beard and comforted: "Actually, King Wei doesn't have to be so troubled!" ”

"Guan Yu, achieving this great victory is not a bad thing for our army, but a happy event."

"Where does the joy come from?"

"King Wei, think about it, now the Jingzhou army is so strong, defeated Lu Xun in Hanjin, and killed Wu general Gan Ning in the tributaries of Weiyang, and then Guan Yu took advantage of the situation to take the important town of Xiakou."

"Such a strong city, located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, in the downstream direction of Chibi, Chaisang, Lukou and other places overlooking each other, it is not an exaggeration to call it a bridgehead in Jiangdong!"

"With such a heavy land, how could Sun Quan let the Jingzhou army occupy it?"

After a pause, he couldn't help but think deeply and explained: "According to Yu's opinion, if the guess is correct, after Sun Quan receives the news of this defeat, he will definitely organize his troops again and march west to recapture Xiakou City. ”

"Moreover, for the sake of insurance, I am afraid that he will also send an envoy to the northern defense line of Jiangxia and ask General Wen Ping to lead his troops to crusade against Guan Yu together."

"King Wei is waiting with peace of mind, within ten days, General Wen's official document for instructions will definitely be sent to the case, waiting for your approval."

"Secondly, according to intelligence, the main force of Lu Meng's siege of Nanjun is now about tens of thousands."

"Who can win the battle for Jingzhou, especially knowing?"

A seat fell.

Cheng Yuxi smiled, smiled, and said slowly.

As soon as these words fell, Cao Cao, who had been explained, couldn't help but feel very smooth at this time, and showed a slight smile.

He, after receiving this battle report, is most worried about Guan Yu becoming bigger, completely suppressing the strength of Eastern Wu, and then breaking the Wu army, the threat will be several points stronger than before.

"Zhong Kang, Zhong Kang."

"Xu Chu is here, what does King Wei command?"

At this moment, with Cao Cao standing proudly, he roared loudly.

Xu Chu, who had been guarding outside the mansion gate, immediately rushed into the mansion when he heard the news, and then showed a resolute face and said loudly.

"Zhong Kang, quickly pass the order, and order Xu Huang and Xiahou Shang of Wancheng to let them keep an eye on the battle situation in Jiangnan."

"Once the Jingzhou army has a big advantage, they will take advantage of the freezing of the Han River to cross the river, attack Xiangyang, and force the Jingzhou army."

"No."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Chu's face remained unchanged, and he resolutely accepted the order, then turned around and left, and went to pass the order.

It is only said that since the Jingzhou army gave up the fight for Fancheng and returned to Jingzhou, Cao Cao took the opportunity to evacuate Cao Ren's headquarters, which had been fighting for several months, and let them return to Xudu with the army to recuperate.

As for the Jingxiang defense line, he ordered the general of the sect, Xiahou Shang, and the veteran Xu Huang, and other 20,000 troops to Yu Wan.

First, for point guards Wan and Luo.

Secondly, he also keeps an eye on the battle situation in Jiangnan and is ready to attack Jingzhou at any time.

Under the city of Gangneung, camp in the north of the city.

Now, the Metropolitan Governor Lü Meng is the closest to each other, so he naturally received the news of the defeat of Hanjin, the loss of Gan Ning, and the loss of Xiakou City.

Take a look at it.

Lu Meng couldn't help but feel a surge of blood in an instant, and shouted loudly: "This... How is this possible? ”

"Lu Boyan was defeated by Guan Yu, and even Gan Ning was killed!"

"When the Governor of Pontus asked him to make a surprise attack on Hanjin Port, he was given thousands of elite sailors."

"Lu Xun, why is it so clumsy?"

At this moment, Rao is Lu Meng's determination was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but be extremely shocked.

In the next second, he couldn't help but quickly run out of the tent, stride to a no-man's land, and then vomited violently.

For a while, pools of dirty blood could be seen everywhere, gushing out thickly.

Halfway through, he gradually stopped vomiting and looked up.

But his face was extremely pale as paper at this time, and his spirit suffered a major blow, and he was extremely powerless!

"Could it be that I really lost my eyes?"

"Lu Boyan is a genuine scholar, and he has no way to command the army at all?"

Slowly muttering for a while, Lu Meng couldn't help but stare at the sky tightly and muttered to himself.

He, since he returned to Wu from a fraudulent illness, he had secretly talked with Lu Xun, and he saw with his own eyes that Lu Xun talked extraordinarily, and he also had his own unique views on arranging troops and military strategies.

Thinking of his weak body, he couldn't help but make up his mind to do his best to cultivate Lu Xun's prestige in the army, so that he could take over himself in the future and protect the western front for Jiangdong.

It's just that today's Hanjin fiasco has made Lu Meng waver.

Is he looking away?
