Although it is true that I don't know the specific situation of the Yanzhou Army, it doesn't mean that Liao Hua doesn't think about anything.

But he also knew that it was useless for him to think about anything, and all he could do was to defend it to the death, so that the enemy army would not have a chance, then it would be better than anything else, wouldn't it.

Yu Ban led the Yanzhou soldiers, but he still failed to bring any big threat to the Yanzhou army. Cao Cao, who was watching the battle later, frowned at this time, and as for Sun Ce and Liu Bei in the future, although they were expressionless, they were very happy in their hearts. Both of them said in their hearts at this time, look, how about Cao Mengde, you can't do it like Yanzhou Army.

However, although they thought so in their hearts, on the surface, the two of them did not show it at all. Although they also knew that Cao Cao would not notice the two of them at this time, and because of the location, he couldn't see how the two of them were at all. But Sun Ce and Liu Bei also knew that it was indeed not good for Cao Cao to see how the two of them were at this time, and they were expressionless, that was the best, and the rest were all different-

Sun Ce said in his heart at this time, look, your Cao Mengde Yanzhou army can't break through Xiling in one day, look at the bet if you lose, what else do you have to say.

As for Liu Bei, he thought in his heart, Cao Mengde, you are going to lose this bet, and you may not show how to do it when the time comes, but you will still be happy in your heart, will you feel good? Hehehe. It's a real pleasure, hahaha.

Liu Bei basically never took advantage of the battle with Cao Cao. So he had something more than Sun Ce in his heart. In other words, he would prefer to see Cao Cao make a fool of himself and see Cao Cao lose to Sun Ce in a bet. Indeed, he values this more than Sun Ce in his heart, after all, many people are like this, the more he lacks something, of course the more he will want something. At least Liu Bei was not exempt from vulgarity.

At this time, Sun Ce said to Liu Bei: "Xuande Gong, it seems that our bet, hehe." It should be our victory! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly said modestly: "Until the last moment, you can't draw conclusions early!" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he just smiled. And then nothing more. What does Liu Bei mean? He still didn't know, but he just didn't say much.

Cao Cao really didn't go to see Sun Ce and Liu Bei, and he really didn't want to pay attention to them.

Because at this time, in Cao Cao's thoughts, all of them developed in the direction he expected. He really didn't think that his side would be able to take Xiling City with such a battle. At least judging from the number of battles between his Yanzhou army and the Liangzhou army before, he definitely didn't think that the Liangzhou army was a waste of firewood, which was absolutely nothing.

So Cao Cao did have other plans. It's just that he didn't talk to Sun Ce and Liu Bei. But he also knew that he didn't say anything to them at this time. But sooner or later, they had to say it, and by that time, the two of them would understand their intentions.

It didn't take long for Cao Cao to order his soldiers Ming Jin to collect his troops, "Ming Jin! ”

"No!" ――

Hearing the Yanzhou Army's Mingjin, Sun Ce and Liu Bei glanced at each other and smiled.

After the forbidden soldiers withdrew, he bowed his hand to his lord and said, "Lord, my subordinates have failed to complete the task!" ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said to the ban: "Wen Ze doesn't have to blame himself, I'll say it when the time comes, this time it's all expected by us, and it's not your reason, let's go!" ”

"No!"

When he met Sun Ce and Liu Bei, Sun Ce smiled at Cao Cao and said, "Cao Sikong, I agreed!" ”

Sun Ce's words made the generals of the Yanzhou Army indignant, and as soon as someone wanted to say something, they saw their lord waving his hand and said to Sun Ce with a smile: "I don't know General Sun, what do you mean by this?" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he said in his heart, "Are you Cao Mengde cheating? You Cao Mengde is a well-known figure in the world, but now you don't admit it? ――

If you want to talk about this, it's no wonder that Sun Ce thinks so, after all, Cao Cao's words really made Sun Ce, let alone him, even Liu Bei has such an idea. However, Liu Beixin said, this is not like Cao Cao's personality, even if he is a traitor, but he will never cheat, is there still a secret in this? Something little known?

Liu Bei thought a lot more than Sun Ce, after all, he thought that he still knew Cao Cao better. But after all, he is not a professional strategist, so what he thinks about is indeed not enough.

However, what Sun Ce and Liu Bei didn't think of didn't mean that their subordinates couldn't think of it. At least Zhou Yu and Xu Shu all thought of it, but at this time, they were all talking at the level of the lord, and they were really not good at saying anything. But they all gave their lords a secret look, so don't say it too hard.

As soon as Cao Cao saw Sun Ce's expression, he knew that Sun Ce still didn't understand what he meant. But Cao Cao is too, he is not ready to take the initiative to explain anything-

Or did Sun Ce speak first, "Cao Sikong didn't forget that the bet couldn't be made before?" ”

Cao Cao deliberately opened his mouth, and then said to Sun Ce: "Of course I remember, but can General Sun repeat it again, what is the gambling contract?" ”

Sun Ce frowned when he heard this, but he still said, "The gambling contract is." Is it one day to break Xiling, or two days to break Xiling. If it is the former, it is naturally Cao Sikong who wins. The latter is naturally our win, so what's wrong with this? ”

Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, "Hahaha! Yes, General Sun remembers, yes, he remembers too. But dare to ask General Sun. Has it been today? ”

As soon as Sun Ce heard it, he immediately understood what Cao Cao meant, and he had to say it before. He really didn't think about it. Yes, people say that they can break Xiling City in one day, but this day has not passed, and where is it today. There's nothing wrong with what people say.

And Liu Bei, who was next to Sun Ce, listened to Cao Cao's words. It was a sudden realization, and his heart said that sure enough, Cao Mengde still has a backhand, and people said that there was nothing wrong with it, and neither he nor himself could say that there was anything wrong with him Cao Mengde, alas.

Indeed, look at Sun Ce's temper at all now, don't you know. It's true, Sun Ce asked Cao Cao to ask no words. Oh, yes. He couldn't say anything at this time, but in the end, Sun Ce still stubbornly said: "Ah, yes, Cao Sikong's words are good, let's wait until today!" My coalition army is tired of attacking the city, but at this time, I don't say much to Cao Sikong, and I leave! ”

Cao Cao smiled at Sun Ce and Liu Bei, "Don't send it!" ”

Sun Ce waved his hand to his soldiers, "Let's go!" ”

But at this time, in his heart, it was really, he felt embarrassed, but who can be blamed for this, he can only say that he is not thoughtful, can this happen?

Seeing that Sun Ce and Liu Bei left a little gloomy, Cao Cao's side and the generals of the Yanzhou Army all smiled. The heart said that it had to be his own father-in-law, what Sun Bofu, what Liu Xuande, all of them were fighting on the sidelines. It is not easy to use the Sun and Liu coalition forces here on their own side. They are here with their own lord, isn't this still deflated, as for the final bet, it will still be their own win, and they are confident in it.

And Cao Cao saw that Sun Ce and Liu Bei left with their troops first, and he didn't slack off, just the same, he led the troops back to his own camp.

On the way back to the camp, Sun Ce asked Liu Bei: "Xuande Gong, I don't know what Xuande Gong thinks, what Cao Mengde thinks at this time?" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he thought for a while, and then said to Sun Ce: "General Sun, if the expectations are good, maybe Cao Mengde will attack Xiling tonight!" But I don't know what General Sun thinks? ”

Sun Ce glanced at Zhou Yu next to him, only to see Zhou Yu nodding slightly, obviously he thought the same. As for Liu Bei, he does still have a mind, even if it is Sun Ce, he is not stupid, he just makes sure again-

Sun Ce said to Liu Bei at this time: "'What the hero sees is slightly the same'! The strategy is the same as Xuande Gong's idea! ”

Liu Bei nodded, but he didn't say anything more, and the matter was tacitly understood. As long as Cao Cao fails tonight, then Sun Ce wins, and on the contrary, he loses. However, Liu Bei also knew in his heart that Sun Ce valued his face more than winning or losing.

As for talking about yourself, to be honest, it's really negligible. At least in the eyes of his Sun Bofu, and in the eyes of him Cao Mengde, it is basically not much different.

Liu Bei has long been accustomed to this, in his opinion, it is just for a while, sooner or later he will be ashamed, and he must not let them despise himself so much and not take himself seriously.

It didn't take long for the two of them to lead their troops back to the camp, which was not far away, so it was indeed a while. And Sun Ce and Liu Bei both knew that after resting for a while, they would have to go to the Chinese army tent between their own camp and the Yanzhou army camp again after a while, and meet Cao Mengde, which is the "old place" to see you-

After Sun Ce and Liu Bei rested for a while, they took Zhou Yu and Xu Shu to the "old place".

As for Cao Cao on the other side, he and his generals returned to the camp with their own soldiers. Everyone is advanced in his big tent of the Chinese army.

At this time, I heard Xu Chu say: "Lord, today is really relieved. After listening to the words of the lord, he didn't even let out a fart. Hahaha, that's fucking interesting! ”

After listening to Xu Chu's words, many people laughed, no way, it was indeed a relief, and Xu Chu said it was also interesting, they had to laugh.

And Cao Cao waved his hand at Xu Chu. Anyway, Xu Chu can scold, after all, this occasion. The tent is full of its own people. However, Cao Cao definitely couldn't let him continue to talk so unscrupulously, although Xu Chu had already finished talking at this time.

But he still has to say what he wants to say, after all, Cao Cao is the lord, and his majesty must be indispensable.

So at this time, Cao Cao said: "Okay." Zhongkang. There is no need to mention this matter again. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, our army will attack Xiling at night, and we will definitely take this city in one fell swoop, and there must be no mistake! ”

"No!"

Almost everyone was grinding their fists, waiting for the time to show their skills, and Cao Cao looked at the reaction of the generals, and he was also very satisfied. The heart says Liaohua? Hehe, the Liangzhou army is strong. Indeed, our army also has elite generals. Why be afraid of his Liangzhou army?

After Cao Cao instructed everyone, he, like Sun Ce and Liu Bei, went to the big tent of the Chinese army between the camps of the two sides, and went to meet with Sun Ce and Liu Bei. This is a must, whether you go early or late, you must get it, or set up such a big tent to do something-

The three of them gathered again in the big tent of the Chinese army between the camps of the two sides, and the person Cao Cao brought was not Xun You, but Cheng Yu.

Sun Ce and Liu Bei arrived one step ahead of Cao Cao, and after Cao Cao entered the big tent, when he saw that both of them were there, he said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that the two of you have already arrived, but it is too late, please forgive me!" ”

After seeing Cao Cao enter the big tent, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and Xu Shu stood up almost at the same time.

I heard Sun Ce say: "Cao Sikong is polite, and I and Xuande Gong are just one step early, but we haven't waited for a long time!" ”

said, glanced at Liu Bei, and said a few words about what it means.

Liu Bei understood and said to Cao Cao: "General Sun's words are good, that's right, but Cao Sikong doesn't have to be polite!" ”

Cao Cao didn't say much, and said directly to the two: "So, okay, let's sit down and talk!" ”

After that, several people sat down, and then began today's conversation. To be honest, it's not still today's war, and it must not be too detached from this, so several people are talking about this-

And whether it was Sun Ce or Liu Bei, it was as if they had discussed it, and they didn't ask Cao Cao what his plans were for the night. Even if they all thought that at night, Cao Cao's Yanzhou army would definitely take action, but to be honest, they also knew that it was really useless to ask Cao Cao or not.

In fact, the two of them have already determined that this is the case, so it doesn't make much sense to hear the words of certainty from Cao Cao's mouth. So when you have that time, it's really better to talk about other things, after all, there are still many things that need to be talked about.

The three of them had almost finished talking, then they all got up to say goodbye and went back to the camp.

"Two, it!"

Sun Ce smiled, "See you tomorrow!" ”

Liu Bei also said to Cao Cao: "Cao Sikong, see you tomorrow!" ”――

But when Cao Cao heard this, he said in his heart, hehe, see you tomorrow? We'll see you again tonight, hahaha! Hahahaha!

To say that Cao Cao has such self-confidence, this Sun Ce and Liu Bei don't think it, but Cao Cao really believes in his own Yanzhou army. One night, he thought that the night attack on Xiling must be able to break the city.

In the evening, when it was almost time, Cao Cao was already anxious about his subordinates, and he was ready to gather generals and attack Xiling at night. Whether he can win Sun Ce and Liu Bei or not, but it's up to him here. Whether he can occupy Xiling City or not depends on tonight's battle, so it is impossible for him not to pay attention to it.

And it is also about himself, his subordinates, including the face of all Yanzhou soldiers, so it is impossible for Cao Cao not to pay attention to it. It can be said that he attaches great importance to the issue of Cheng Dù's retreat before his own side.

When everyone arrived, Cao Cao said to everyone: "Everyone, whether you can take Xiling, and finally our army occupies Xiling, it depends on the battle tonight!" ”――

To tell the truth, there is no need for Cao Cao to say this, everyone understands it in their hearts.

So at this time, they said in unison: "I will live up to the expectations of the lord!" ”

Cao Cao smiled at everyone, and he seemed very satisfied in his heart. Don't say anything else, just talk about the attitude of his own soldiers, it can be said that he is very satisfied and recognized. (To be continued......)
