Chapter 545: The Wei State That Makes Matters Worse

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were able to see their own situation, which made Liu Feng greatly save his energy, so that he only needed to assign those minor generals in Jiangdong to other places, as for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's cronies, Liu Feng kept them by his side in Xiangyang, on the one hand, he could prevent some accidents.

On the other hand, according to his understanding, Guan Ping and the others are indeed figures who can be alone in Jiangdong, if there is no problem with their loyalty, they can undoubtedly play a key role in the future war against Wei, because his enemy at this time is only Cao Zhi of Wei, so Liu Feng is not worried that these generals under Zhuge Liang will turn against each other, and their hatred for Wei is deeper than himself.

After settling down the affairs here, it was already a passing time, Liu Feng immediately settled Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and others in Linxiang City to rest, and in just a few days, Jiangdong, an independent kingdom that had stood for decades, was finally annexed by Liu Feng, and Jingzhou and Yizhou became a family.

Although Liu Feng's movements were smooth and rapid, it was still difficult to completely quietly carry out the incorporation of Jiangdong soldiers and the replacement of generals overnight, so when the generals of Jiangdong left on a large scale and the generals of Jingzhou were stationed in Jianye on a large scale, Wei Guo's detailed work in Jiangdong finally got the news, and sent this very important news to the north overnight.

When this news was placed in front of Cao Zhi, the lord of Wei in Yecheng, Cao Zhi's already slightly melancholy face became even more serious.

A few days ago, the news of the defeat of Sima Yi and Cao Zhang reached Cao Zhi's ears before the army, which was a big blow to Cao Zhi, all along, in his heart, Sima Yi would not fail, even if he faced a fierce opponent like Liu Feng, he originally thought that Sima Yi would be able to occupy at least one or two important cities in Jingzhou anyway.

But in this way, not only did not get a trace of Jingzhou's land, but also lost more than 100,000 people, plus the losses caused by Yang Xiu's troops last time, this time Wei was really a little injured, and it was very difficult to organize an attack like these two times.

Not only that, but in this battle, the Wei army also lost their weapon thunderbolt at the bottom of the box, these thunderbolts have always been regarded by Cao Zhi as a secret weapon, if it weren't for Sima Yi and Cao Zhang, the two generals in the Cao army, Cao Zhi would not have agreed to use such a number of thunderbolts, and now it is certain that all the thunderbolts fell into the hands of Liu Feng, and his secret weapon became a weapon in the hands of the enemy, which really made Cao Zhi's heart full of bitterness.

Just three days ago, Cao Zhang and Sima Yi finally returned to Yecheng, for this defeat, the two did not evade responsibility at all, especially Cao Zhang, who was Cao Zhi's brother, personally took on a considerable part of the responsibility, and admitted to Cao Zhi that it was not good for them to capture Wancheng, so that they lost a great opportunity to strike at the hinterland of Jingzhou.

Although Sima Yi also has an unshirkable responsibility as the commander of this march, with Cao Zhang in front, Cao Zhi naturally can't be too harsh on Sima Yi, so the defeat in this battle can only be understated by Cao Zhi.

He did not impose any substantive punishment on Sima Yi and Cao Zhang, Cao Zhang, because he was unwilling in his heart, just stayed in Yecheng for two days and then led the army back to the north to continue to deter Wuhuan, maybe only there, Cao Zhang can gradually regain some of his lost confidence, for his behavior, Cao Zhi did not dissuade, he knew that Wei still needs Cao Zhang, so he can't force him to stay in Yecheng.

As for Sima Yi, Cao Zhi only made a few remarks in the court, and there was no other punishment, he knew that the current Wei State was the time to employ people, although Sima Yi lost the battle in Jingzhou this time, but if he was a bystander, the achievements he achieved were not as good as Sima Yi.

The only thing that made Cao Zhi feel some comfort in this battle was that according to Cao Zhang and Sima Yi's returns, although their losses exceeded 100,000, they also made Liu Feng pay the price of losing 50,000 or 60,000 people in Jingzhou.

According to Cao Zhi's previous estimates, it would take a short time for Liu Feng to recover to his previous level after losing fifty or sixty thousand elite soldiers, and it was almost impossible to inflict any losses on Wei during this period, so he ordered Sima Yi, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and others to conduct a detailed analysis of the reasons for this defeat, in order to achieve different results in the next battle against Jingzhou.

Although the two defeated Wei states are unlikely to attack Jingzhou again soon, but in the near future, the battle between him and Liu Feng will definitely continue.

In the past few days, Cao Zhi's mentality has just adjusted a little better from the haze of defeat, and today he received the Jiangdong incident, which is tantamount to making things worse for Cao Zhi.

In the Central Plains before, in addition to Liu Feng and Cao Zhi, there was also a Zhuge Liang, although the land of Jiangdong was weak, but because all of them were waterways and difficult to attack, neither Liu Feng nor Cao Zhi had the idea to hit Jiangdong.

The existence of Jiangdong is obviously more beneficial than disadvantageous for Wei at this time, because Jiangdong and Liu Feng's Jingzhou are only separated by a water, and Liu Feng has to station tens of thousands of his elite naval troops between Jiangdong and Jingzhou in case Zhuge Liang suddenly attacks, so this is a very big constraint for Liu Feng.

Now all of a sudden, this containment is gone for some reason, and there is no news of any major battle except for the news of such a small battle as Zhao Yun's attack on Jiangdong received two days ago, which shows that Liu Feng did not consume many troops to take Jiangdong, so that Liu Feng's strength can only be strengthened than before, not weakened.

Cao Zhi knew that after taking over the territory and sergeants of Jiangdong, Liu Feng not only made up for the loss of 50,000 or 60,000 horses that had resisted Sima Yi and Cao Zhang, but was even stronger than before. Under the advantages of the other, the distance between Wei Guo and Liu Feng's previous strength is rapidly shrinking...... Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
