At this time, the surrounding Wu soldiers had already discovered that Zhou Tai had been killed by Dian Wei, and suddenly that blood was gone, and they fled in a panic. Dian Wei led the troops to kill, and the Zhou Tai army was routed and scattered. Seeing this, Cao Cao quickly ordered his soldiers and horses to attack and captured most of the men and horses of Zhou Tai's army. Pan Zhang escaped in a desperate battle and hurriedly retreated into the rear army. Dian Wei galloped and flew away, leading troops to help Zhang Jaw. Zhang Jaw was attacked by Gan Ning and Ling Tong in a hurry, and at this time, Dian Wei arrived, and the pressure was greatly reduced. Dian Wei was the enemy of Gan Ning, and Zhang Jaw was the enemy of Ling Tong. Seeing that the situation was in a hurry, Zhou Yu hurriedly ordered the sergeant to attack. Suddenly, Xiahou Yuan led the army to kill from behind. Wu Bingjun walked in a panic. Xiahou Yuan danced his gun into the crowd of Wu soldiers, rushed left and right, as if entering a no-man's land, came to catch Zhou Yu, saw it, and shouted loudly.

"Zhou Gongjin, you think you are very intelligent, but you didn't expect that my marquis would have already decided everything. You've been defeated again, why don't you get off your horse and surrender quickly!! ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, his anger surged, he was angry, he yelled, vomited blood and fainted. Seeing this, the generals hurriedly rescued and escorted Zhou Yu to flee suddenly. Xiahou Yuan led troops to pursue from behind, but Wu soldiers did not dare to fight, and were killed and embarrassed. Gan Ning and Ling Tong saw that the rear army was in chaos, and they were afraid that Zhou Yu would lose, so how could they dare to fight hard, so they pulled out their horses and led their troops to flee. Dian Wei and Zhang Jaw then covered up and killed, and the Wu soldiers lost their armor and lost their armor, and the defeat was like a landslide, with countless casualties. The Wei soldiers won a great victory, drove a long way, behind Cao Cao led the troops to meet the people and horses of all roads, chased and killed the Wu soldiers for more than ten miles, all the way down, the sky was dark, the screams were endless, the Wu soldiers were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.

Just a few months ago, Zhou Yu, who was full of spirit and intended to break through the Central Plains in one fell swoop, would not have expected that he would fall into such a tragic situation today. Cao Wei's first strategist, 'ghost talent' Guo Jia, planned to break the Wu army and annihilate more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. Coupled with the folds of the Wu soldiers before, in just these two formations, the Wu soldiers have lost 50,000 soldiers! Moreover, Zhou Tai, the first brave general of Eastern Wu, was killed by General Cao Wei in this battle.

It is said that the Wu soldiers were defeated for a while, and fled overnight, and when they returned to Chencheng, the Wei soldiers had already gone back. Sun Quan heard that his army was defeated, and the general Zhou Tai was killed by Dian Wei, and Zhou Yu was angry, losing nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses. Sun Quan was shocked when he heard the report, his face turned pale, he screamed miserably, and almost fainted in anger. Fortunately, Lu Meng was still able to keep calm, saying that the Wei soldiers were exhausted after a day of fierce fighting, so they could quickly send troops out of the city to collect the defeated army. Sun Quan responded and sent Lü Meng to lead troops out of the city to collect the remnants of the army, and more than thousands of soldiers returned to the city to heal their wounds.

The next day, Sun Quan scolded the generals in the palace and shouted angrily.

"You don't know the art of war, you only rely on the courage of flesh and blood, and you want to fight, resulting in this defeat and a lonely loss of a general. In the future, we must not act rashly, and if we do not comply with it, we will correct the military law!! ”

Everyone retreated in shame. At this time, the Wei army had a large number of dead, and countless horses and armor were abandoned. Sun Quan now only has 30,000 soldiers and horses left, while the Wei army is in full swing. Sun Quan was extremely worried, and Zhou Yu didn't wake up for a long time. Inside Chen Cheng, there seemed to be a lingering haze.

Suddenly, one day, someone came to report that a team of Wei soldiers sent Zhou Tai's body to the city, and then quickly left. It turned out that Cao Cao took pity on Zhou Tai's loyalty, so he sent his body back. Sun Quan quickly taught people to go out of the city to retrieve Zhou Tai's body, and cried when he saw it. Everyone who saw it was moved, and they all wanted to avenge Zhou Tai. All the generals have the will to die, and Wu Bing has become a mourning soldier. Ten days passed, the Wei army rested and recuperated, Cao Cao led troops to press, Sun Quan personally led troops, and Cao Cao refused for seven or eight days. The Wu army resisted the offensive of the Wei soldiers with the momentum of mourning soldiers.

Cao Cao saw that he couldn't win, Chen Cheng was anxious, and he was bored in his heart, so he summoned Guo Jia to see him. Guo Jia smiled indifferently and said calmly.

"Don't worry, lord. Now the Wu people are resisting with the momentum of mourning soldiers, and they are eager to attack it, which is naturally difficult to break. You can teach the sergeant to retreat from the village, and then send one person to make peace. At the moment, Pan Feng has abandoned Jingzhou, and Wu Bing has repeatedly lost his troops and lost his generals, knowing that it is difficult to get into trouble, and he is willing to make peace. Immediately, the lord can withdraw the army in detail, and so on. Sun Zhongmou, Zhou Gongjin and others can be caught!! ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, laughed endlessly, and then ordered the village to be pulled out and withdrawn according to Guo Jia's words. Wu Bing did not dare to be careless when he saw the Wei soldiers withdrawing, and after a few days, the Wei soldiers still did not move. Wu Bing's tense spirit gradually relaxed, and the blood and qi also faded. One day, the generals saw the Wei soldiers retreating and came to see Sun Quan. The generals said in unison.

"Cao Cao is powerful and cannot be taken. If you fight for a long time, you will lose a lot of soldiers. At the same time, Pan Wushuang has abandoned Jingzhou. If Cao Cao sends troops to cut off the rear road of our army, our army will besiege the important land of Wei, and I am afraid that everyone will die without a place to be buried. According to a certain point of view, why not seek harmony? ”

When Sun Quan heard this, his face tightened, and he was hesitant. Suddenly, Zhou Yu rushed into the hall and shouted.

"The lord can cut off the !! of those who speak"

As soon as Zhou Yu's words fell, everyone's faces suddenly changed. Sun Quan asked urgently. Zhou Yu snorted coldly, and said with hatred on his pale face.

"Now most of the land in Yuzhou has been attacked by our army. Although our army had a big loss of soldiers and horses in the previous round, Cao Cao fought everywhere, and his soldiers fought fiercely again and again, and they were all exhausted. The lord can divide Chencheng, Ruyin, Shouchun and other places, and each is guarded by heavy troops. Cao Cao was anxious and unbreakable, and wanted to appease the people of Jingzhou, so he retreated sooner or later. At that time, the lord can rest and raise soldiers and horses, and then send people to Jiangdong to gather soldiers and horses to respond, so as to wait for the opportunity, and then attack the Central Plains in one fell swoop, and become the emperor's industry, which is just around the corner. If peace is sued for this, all the land that the previous soldiers fought so hard to get will be returned to the Cao thief, so that the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country will not all die in vain!? ”

Zhou Yu drank loudly, and when he said emotionally, he didn't feel tears streaming down his face. This expedition to attack Wei lost nearly 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses, and Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Chen Wu and other soldiers were killed. When the generals heard this, they were all ashamed and did not dare to refute. The soldiers who died one by one suddenly flashed in Sun Quan's mind. Sun Quanru was shocked repeatedly, and let out a long sigh, as if he had exhausted all his strength. But he didn't agree with Zhou Yu's words, and his blue eyes were impressive, staring at Zhou Yudao.

"People should retreat in the face of difficulties, and endure when they see the situation. Blindly insisting on doing it will not end well. ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, his face was anxious, and he was about to open his mouth. Who knew that Sun Quan didn't wait for him to speak, and then said.

"Cao Cao has already won Jingzhou, and our army has penetrated deep into his hinterland, but there is no heavy army to rely on. 30,000 soldiers also fought for a long time. If the troops are divided everywhere, once Cao Cao rests and waits for recuperation, he will only be defeated by each of them. Soldiers are far away from toil, and it is advisable to be compassionate and compassionate to them. Now it's better to withdraw. ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, his heart was on fire, and his eyes were a little crazy, and he shouted anxiously.

"But even if the lord has the intention to withdraw the army, how can Cao Cao stop there! If an army is attacked, what should it do!? ”

Zhou Yu's voice just fell. Suddenly, someone came to report, and Cao Cao sent Liu Ye to see him. When Sun Quan heard this, he sighed.

"It seems that the old thief does not want to hold the war for a long time, Liu Ye is here, and he must ask for peace."

After Sun Quan finished speaking, he summoned Liu Ye to see him. Zhou Yu was anxious to persuade again, but Sun Quan's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he shot at Zhou Yu like a blade. Zhou Yu's expression changed, knowing that Sun Quan was angry, so he had to suppress his impatience first. After a while, Liu Ye entered the temple, finished worshipping, and then told Sun Quan.

"Now the two armies have been facing each other here in Chencheng for many days, and the battle between the two countries has caused countless casualties. Although Wu sent troops to attack Wei, the king of Wei expected that this was Zhuge Liang's plan and did not blame King Wu. I also hope that King Wu will withdraw his troops, return the territory of our Wei State, and pay tribute to the imperial court. Since then, the two countries have been at peace with each other, which is really a blessing for the people of the world. ”

As Sun Quan expected, Liu Yeguo came here to ask for peace. Zhou Yu's face was cold, and he shouted.

"The old thief is a minister of a chaotic country, and he uses the current saint as a puppet, and the saint cannot be the master of the court's affairs. I am dignified Soochow, why should I pay tribute to the national thief!? If Cao Cao has the heart to make peace, he will first withdraw his troops sixty miles away to show his sincerity. Otherwise, I will never want to make peace, and would rather die and fight!! ”

Zhou Yu's move naturally had a deep meaning, and he expected that Cao Cao did not sincerely seek peace, so he was naturally unwilling to withdraw his troops. At that time, Sun Quan also discovered Cao Cao's treachery, so he knew how to take precautions. Unexpectedly, Liu Ye replied briskly, and even ignored Zhou Yu's words about offending Cao Cao, and replied.

"The war between the two countries not only consumed the soldiers of the two countries, but also caused disaster to the people. The king of Wei is a king who loves the people, and naturally sincerely hopes to make a truce to pacify the people. What the Metropolitan Governor said was reasonable, and the King of Wei had already expected it, and he had already issued an order to surrender the generals. As long as the king of Wu should ask for peace, he should reply immediately, and our army will pull out of the village and leave tonight. When the king of Wu withdrew to Jiangdong, the king of Wei would let people go to the handover. Is this enough to show the sincerity of King Wei? ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, his face changed, and he quickly looked at Sun Quan, and even cast his eyes. Sun Quan ignored it, with a calm expression, and there was a great majesty of a king who was not angry but mighty. I saw that Sun Quan's eyes were like swords, looking at Liu Ye tightly, as if he wanted to see through what he was thinking. Liu Ye's face was calm, and he looked at Sun Quan. After a while, Sun Quan smiled.

"King Wei is worthy of being a capable minister who governs the country and loves the people earnestly, no wonder the saint is so favored. The hated lonely fell into Zhuge Liang's treacherous schemes, allied with Shu, and sent troops to commit crimes. Fortunately, King Wei was magnanimous and did not care about previous suspicions. Lone is really guilty, so he should deal with this matter, and has been cut off from Shu so far. It is hoped that from now on, Wei and Wu will reconcile and not invade each other. ”

When Liu Ye heard this, he shook his hands, bowed his hands, and said in a condensed voice.

"King Wu saw Zhuge Liang's trick and stopped the army, which is really a blessing for the two countries."

Liu Ye bowed to him. Sun Quan pretended to be lustful and stayed in the city to drink and feast. Liu Ye said that he had a heavy responsibility and did not dare to delay. Sun Quan did not force him to stay, so he revised the paperwork. Liu Ye took the paperwork, then retreated, and left Chen Cheng to report back to Cao Cao.

Liu Ye left not long ago. Zhou Yu hurriedly persuaded Sun Quan.

"The old thief has always been cunning, and he must not be easily believed in seeking peace. I hope the lord will think twice! ”

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu coldly, shook his hand and shouted.

"Lonely's mind has been decided, this matter must not be discussed again, and those who violate the order will be killed!!"

Sun Quan is not weak, but he knows that he cannot be violated. Now he has suffered a lot of losses in soldiers and horses, and he has lost Zhou Tai, a general, and the morale of the sergeants is low. Moreover, his soldiers and horses went deep into the hinterland of Wei, and if there was any case, he would be intercepted by the Wei army and return home, and he would definitely die without a place to be buried. Sun Quan is not Sun Ce, his temperament is calmer than Sun Ce, who is naturally impatient, and the more critical he is, the clearer his thoughts are. And what Zhou Yu said was not unreasonable, but Sun Quan found that since Zhou Yu knew that Cao Cao was coming to lead the army, he gradually lost his mind and went crazy desperately. A vengeful Zhou Yu, Sun Quan didn't dare to use it. But without Zhou Yu in charge, Sun Quan asked himself if it was difficult to resist Cao Cao, and after weighing, Sun Quan decided to make up his mind and ordered the withdrawal of the army.

As soon as Sun Quan's words fell, Zhou Yu staggered a few steps as if he had been shocked, almost upside down. He didn't complain about Sun Quan, he only complained that he had suffered repeated defeats before, so that his army suffered a great loss of troops, and a full 50,000 troops were killed or wounded. If it weren't for that, how would Sun Quan be willing to stop the army!

Zhou Yu's face became more and more pale, and a resentment surged up from his abdomen, and with a 'wow' sound, he vomited blood in his mouth and fainted to the ground. Everyone was shocked, and Sun Quan hurriedly called someone to help him into the inner hall. Zhou Yu was unconscious. Sun Quan urgently called the doctor to come for treatment, but Zhou Yu's condition still did not improve.

That night, everyone retreated. Only the unconscious Zhou Yu and Sun Quan were left in the room. Suddenly Zhou Yu opened his eyes, and Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu urgently.

"Gong Jin is in trouble!?"

Zhou Yu sighed, shook his head, and then said.

Since the defeat in the previous battle, Yu felt drowsy and difficult to control. Now I heard that the lord wanted to quit the army. Yu expects the old thief to be treacherous, and pretends to be a joke. The lord can do so and so. ”

Zhou Yu's face was pale and colorless, but his eyes were still shining, and he was teaching a plan at the moment. It turned out that Zhou Yu was not ill today, but did it on purpose. When Sun Quan came to look, he was anxious to hold Zhou Yu's hand, and Zhou Yu counted it lightly. Sun Quan seems to have a heart with Zhou Yu, and probably understands what he means. When the doctor came, he found that although Zhou Yu was qi weak, he was fine, and he would never faint because of this. The doctor was surprised, and Sun Quan gave him a look. The doctor understood it and told everyone that Zhou Yu's condition was very urgent and he should not move lightly within a month.

That night, after Sun Quan and Zhou Yu discussed, they secretly made arrangements according to their strategies.

Let's say that Zhou Yu has been bedridden since then. The generals are all worried. Ten days later, Cao Cao was surprised when he saw the withdrawal of Eastern Wu's troops, and sent Liu Ye to ask. Sun Quan then told him that Zhou Yu was seriously ill and should not move lightly for a month. Liu Ye was suspicious, and Sun Quan led Liu Ye to visit Zhou Yu. Liu Ye saw that Zhou Yu's face was like earth and his breath was weak, so he believed it, so he retreated. Liu Ye returned to see Cao Cao and held it one by one. Cao Cao listened to Liu Ye sincerely, and he was not impatient. The delay of Eastern Wu for time is beneficial and harmless for Cao Cao, which can just enable Jia Xu to have time, lead troops to cut off his way back, and lay a net of heaven and earth.

But Cao Cao didn't expect that Sun Quan had already secretly ordered the troops to be distributed and withdrawn. On the day Liu Ye came, most of the Wu army had already withdrawn.
