Sun Quan's army went north to attack Wei, and now the southerners suddenly attacked the north, which was absolutely unacceptable to the northerners, so when Zhou Yu's sailors suddenly appeared in Huaiyin, it was the northern families who really took on the defense of Huaiyin.

And Lu Su took 100,000 horses and horses, and killed Gaoyou by land, the same reason, he hit a hard nail again, in the land war, the southerners have a huge disadvantage, no matter in terms of height and physical strength, I can compare with the soldiers on the land of the Central Plains?

So Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's strategy, first easy and then difficult, led his army of more than 100,000 people, directly pounced on Huaiyin, and defeated Zhou Yu in a blink of an eye with a huge military advantage, so that Zhou Yu fled back to the sea in disgrace.

Since Huaiyin has not been taken, the strategic purpose of cutting off Gaoyou has failed, and in principle it should be retreated.

But Lu Su's request was rejected by Sun Quan, because this was the last rare opportunity, how could he give it up easily?

In fact, in terms of strategy, Sun Chuan is indeed not a qualified strategist, throughout his entire history, in fact, he has nothing outstanding, he is completely relying on the shadow of his father and brother to achieve things.

After Lu Su's request for withdrawal was rejected by Sun Quan, Lu Su could only lead 150,000 troops to advance and retreat under Gaoyou City.

At this time, Cao Cao, who solved Zhou Yu, took his army directly south, and completely defeated Lu Su with absolute strength, and when Lu Su retreated across the Yangtze River, he collected less than 10,000 men and horses.

And Zhou Yu's 30,000 sailors are not a few thousand.

In this big defeat, Sun Quan not only did not want to get the vast area north of the Yangtze River, but was completely injured by Cao Cao, and was entered by Cao **.

For a while, in the face of Cao Cao's army, Sun Quan's group was in chaos, and they were now at a loss, and they really didn't know how to block Cao Cao's attack.

At this time, Lu Su raised it and asked his ally Liu Bei for help.

As a result, a bad news flew over, and now Liu Bei is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, he has just been beaten by Sima Yi is a big defeat, and Zhuge Liang on the other road is also in a dilemma, where is the energy to help Sun Quan clean up the mess now.

So at this time, Zhang Zhao proposed a strategy of conditional surrender to Cao Cao.

This strategy is actually quite conservative, that is, Sun Quan wants Cao Cao to be a vassal, but he does not accept Cao Cao's management and does not accept Cao Cao's garrison, but he provides a certain amount of worship to the court every year, and still maintains Sun Quan's independence.

Of course, this suggestion was opposed by the people represented by Lu Su, Cao Cao, in the eyes of the scholars, is a national thief, rather than for the broken jade, not for the whole tile, this is the discipline that the scholars adhere to, when a person's reputation is broken, and then want to find it back, it is extremely difficult.

So the two factions competed with each other, each with their own reasoning, but among these people, none of them wanted to ask for help from Lu Peng, an ally and brother, or surrender to Lu Peng.

This argument immediately drew opposition from everyone, the most fierce of which was Sun Quan. Because everyone knows that what Lu Peng did was to unify the Central Plains, in his thoughts, there could be no warlord group within his sphere of influence, there was Han Sui in the front, Zhang Lu in the back, and then he simply forced Liu Zhang to death, according to Zhou Yu's advice to Sun Quan, or fight, even if he can't fight, surrender Cao Cao can't surrender Lu Peng, the reason is, surrender Cao Cao, there is still a prince to do, surrender Lu Peng, others can continue to be officials, only Sun Quan's best ending is to be a rich man, there is no other way out.

Therefore, with Sun Quan's character, how can he abandon his father and brother's inheritance?

But if you surrender to Cao Cao, life must be difficult, and you can't let go of your face. At this time, Zhuge Liang crossed the river in white clothes and rushed to Sun Quan Jianye.

Zhuge Liang never thought that it was originally a strong alliance between the two families, and it should be easy to deal with a Cao Cao, but the war was fought to such a point of erosion, his lord was careless for a while, and the army was defeated, and the result of this rout did not matter, driving the entire war situation to be completely erosive, Zhuge Liang led the army, and he could not do all the work in the face of Xin Cai, so he tried an empty city plan, bought an empty camp, and got a pair of Yaoqin, which frightened the imposing Sima Yi, and then the army withdrew to Jingzhou.

When he heard that Sun Chun was also defeated and lost, and lost worse than himself, of course he was shocked, and in the face of the fierce Cao Cao, Sun Chun must not surrender, so Zhuge Liang overrode public opinion in the court, gave up asking for help from Lu Peng, and went down to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan to continue to unite against Cao.

Everyone knows the ending later, Zhuge Liang used his three-inch incorruptible tongue to fight the Confucianism in Sun Quan's lobby, and finally persuaded Jiangdong to rectify the 30,000 naval army, Liu Bei went out of Jingzhou with 100,000 horses, and confronted Cao Cao's southbound army in Chibi.

This confrontation came to April of the following year, when Lu Peng returned to Youzhou and wanted to start a war.

With the current military intelligence report, Lu Peng really smiled bitterly and helplessly, his character was so bad, as his two allies, he would rather die together for warmth than ask for help from himself, of course, even if they ask for help from themselves, they will never agree, they are accustomed to falling into the well, where did they make a life-saving straw for others?

Now Cao Cao's entire army is all pressed along the Yangtze River in the south of the Yangtze River, and the confrontation with the Sun-Liu coalition army is actually the best time for Youzhou to send troops.

However, Lu Peng rejected the request of his subordinates: "The tripartite battle has not yet seen a real result, I don't need to make wedding clothes for others, the battle of Chibi, I absolutely believe that Cao Cao will be defeated and lost, and then it will be a good opportunity for us to really send troops." ”

Xu Shu was a little anxious: "Cao Cao is powerful, even if Sun Liu is united, in the original war, he has been greatly injured, and there is no capital to confront Cao Cao, if we don't go to rescue Sun Liu at this time, once Cao Cao defeats Sun Liu's coalition army, with Sun Quan's character, he will definitely surrender to Cao Cao, and once Cao Cao gets Jiangnan, he will obtain a huge wealth base in Jiangnan, and we will have to conquer him again, but we will have to pay a considerable price for this, so I and the cabinet studied and decided, Taking advantage of the confrontation between Cao Cao's army and Sun and Liu along the Yangtze River, we took advantage of the situation to go down, and after rescuing Sun and Liu's families, we could also unify the hinterland of the Central Plains. ”

Lu Peng argued on the basis of reason, resolutely disagreed with the current dispatch of troops, always wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, he firmly believed that Cao Cao would be defeated, and the cabinet also hardened this time, and resolutely fought against Lu Peng. After a difficult tug-of-war, Lü Peng finally had to make concessions, obey the spirit of the cabinet, and had to decide to start a resolute attack on Cao Cao in June.
