Zheng Du's arrival seemed to be a bit fast, which was beyond the expectations of Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others. Originally, I thought that no matter how fast Liu Zhang was, it would take seven or eight days, but it was a bit too fast to arrive in more than four days, right? This disrupted the siege plan of Cao Cao and others, because it was a siege war, Cao Cao had already given all the cavalry to Cao Ang to attack Yuzhou. In order to prevent the possible existence of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, this time there is no cavalry mobility on his side.

"Lord Liu Zhang's reinforcements have arrived, and I believe that the large army will arrive soon. Now that the siege is impossible, let's withdraw our troops, my lord. Xun Yu hurriedly said, this time is really not suitable for attacking the city. If Liu Zhang's army arrived, none of them would be able to escape. Now it is the most important thing to quickly garrison Lujiang, otherwise you can only wait for death, and it is no longer realistic to attack the city.

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, he couldn't have imagined that Liu Zhang would come so quickly, but since then, Runan seems to have stabilized. Thinking of this, Cao Cao said to Cao Ren on the side: "Go and ask Bo Fu to come over and discuss...... "At this time, you have to discuss it with Sun Ce, otherwise it will be really difficult to deal with."

Soon Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who also had gloomy faces, walked in, to be honest, Sun Ce's heart was very cold, and he almost knew what Cao Cao invited him to do. Now it depends on what Cao Cao says, whether he, Sun Ce, can withstand Liu Zhang's next anger.

"Ming Gong, Liu Zhang's reinforcements have arrived today, presumably the army is also about to arrive, and now I am afraid that there is no chance to attack the city." Sun Ce already had a vague feeling that Cao Cao was going to run away.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Liu Zhang's army is coming too fast, if we attack the city, we will inevitably be wiped out by Liu Zhang." In that case, why don't we stick to it? At this time, how about Lujiang returning to Bofu and I want Jiujiang? Cao Cao gave up Lujiang, which meant that he did not want to lose this ally.

Sun Ce didn't speak yet, but Zhou Yu said, "Why does Duke Ming have to give up Lujiang? Lujiang is still Ming Gong's, and we are willing to join forces with Ming Gong and fight each other. "They can't hold it if they let out the Lujiang River, it is better to continue to let Cao Cao defend it, so as not to let Liu Zhang attack them with all his might, so that Cao Cao can also take the opportunity to attack Yuzhang.

Cao Cao couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yu a few more times, although he also had strategists around him, but he couldn't help but want to get to know this kind of strategist habitually. However, he thought that Liu Zhang's side didn't seem to have as many advisers as him, but others didn't live a very nourishing life?

"Bo Fu has a lot of talents?" Glancing at Zhou Yu, Cao Cao looked at Sun Ce with a smile.

Sun Ce arched his hand and said: "It's not as good as the strategists and generals under Ming Gong, in this case, let's wait to retreat from the army, and arrange defenses as soon as possible, so as not to take advantage of the situation for Liu Zhang." "Arrange it early, lest Liu Zhang directly capture Lujiang, and it will be really uncomfortable to hit Danyang in one go.

Then Cao Cao and Sun Ce began to withdraw their troops, Sun Ce withdrew to garrison near Anqing, and Cao Cao also retreated to Anhui. Compared with Liu Zhang's benevolence, Cao Cao's garrison began to observe the people, which was intended to pay taxes a year later. It's a pity that the people here have followed Liu Zhang too much......

Zheng Du and Huang Quan stood on the city wall, watching Cao Cao slowly withdraw his troops, Zheng Du chuckled: "Count them fast, otherwise they will definitely have no return." "Seriously, they can't chase after them, so they still have to train the sailors well and develop steadily.

Huang Quan asked a little hesitantly: "The lord just sent some cavalry, and those people must have thought that the lord's army was in the rear." "The reason for quitting the army must have been because of fear.

Zheng Du walked down the city wall and said: "The cavalry of the Cao army is gone, and the soldiers I have seen in the past few days are only tens of thousands, so it seems that Cao Cao must have an idea about Runan." The lord has already gone to Runan in advance, but I don't know if Cao Cao is fast or the lord is fast. "Zheng Du observed Cao Ying on the first day he came, and there were indeed a lot of soldiers here. Almost seventy or eighty thousand soldiers are gone, so it seems that Cao Cao really has an idea about Runan.

Huang Quan was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "Cao Cao doesn't have many soldiers here, can we fight back to recapture Lujiang and Jiujiang?" For the county that is already his own, he doesn't want to let go.

Zheng Du said helplessly: "Jiujiang and Lujiang are not very important, they are easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the momentary gains and losses are meaningless, it is better to develop the power and wait for the lord to free up his hands to solve Sun Ce." At this time, Liu Zhang was about to start because the Guandu War, but he didn't have the heart to clean up Sun Ce. Although Liu Zhang did not plan to participate in the battle of Guandu, he could not fail to accept the benefits he deserved.

"These soldiers will stay here, and I will go back to Jingzhou after a while." Zheng Du just came to the rescue, and then Liu Zhang still needed to let him come back to preside over things.

Cao Cao and his party retreated to the Lujiang River, leaving behind the soldiers and the generals who defended the city, and Cao Cao went directly to Runan. At this time, there was no point in Lujiang, and he wanted to see how the battle situation in Runan was. At this time, the battle has already begun, but I don't know if it is an advantage or a victory.

When Cao Cao was about to take people away, the battle report also came. After looking at it carefully for a while, Cao Cao was in a good mood: "Wen Ruo, Xiaolian is still doing well, Ruyin killed more than 4,000 people in Gao Shun, and now he has begun to attack Shangcai, and it is expected that the city can be broken in four or five days." It doesn't seem to be as solid as Chaisang's here, and with a large number of siege equipment, Xiaolian and they should be able to take Runan. At this moment, Cao Cao was in a good mood, the south occupied Jiujiang and Lujiang, and Yuzhou came back from the new. As for outsiders? He, Cao Cao, just find an excuse for the Son of Heaven to take it back.

Xun Yu's heart actually doesn't want to see Liu Zhang's repeated defeats, his dream is to support the Han family, Liu Zhang's current ability and power are already very good, there are so many people to assist Liu Zhang, it should still be possible to reach that position. For Cao Cao at this moment, Xun Yu didn't want to say too much to solve Liu Zhang.

What kind of human spirit is Cao Cao? From the first confrontation with Liu Zhang to the present, Xun Yu rarely spoke about Liu Zhang, and as for the reason, Cao Cao can also understand. As for why Xun Yu killed Liu Bei? It can only be said that Liu Bei still can't get into Xun Yu's eyes, but Liu Zhang seems to be different.

Cheng Yu on the side said: "Lord, let's hurry up, although Liu Zhang can't go, but Wu Yi from Wancheng will definitely come to the rescue, if we slow down, I'm afraid Wu Yi will arrive." Cheng Yu saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately stood up.

Without further ado, he directly ordered his troops to set off, and this time Cao Cao and the others marched quickly. Of course, Liu Zhang's side is also acting, but Cao Cao's distance is closer, it depends on whether Wen Ping is good or Cao Ang is better. After all, the attack on Shangcai has been going on for a few days.

At this time, there was a burst of shouting and killing outside Shangcai, and a large number of foot soldiers rushed directly towards the city wall with weapons on their shoulders. It's just that Shangcai has been operating for a long time, and this place was originally set up to prevent Cao Cao's attack, and there are naturally a lot of materials in the city, and the city defense will not be much worse than Chaisang.

"Lord Han Cao's army has been attacking for three days, when is General Wenping going to do it?" After Gao Shun came to Shangcai, after coming into contact with the soldiers here, he had more feelings. The soldiers here move fast, each squad works closely together, and each squad works together more conveniently.

Han Song looked at Cao Jun in the distance with a telescope, and said for a while: "Tomorrow we will have a weaker resistance and give Cao Jun a chance to rush up." The day after tomorrow, we will look at the situation and signal Wenpin, and at that time, we will talk about the situation. If General Gao also led the light cavalry to rush out at that time, under the attack of the two sides, most of the Cao army would definitely be annihilated. "The feeling of breaking the city will make Cao Jun do his best, and he will then kill on both sides, which will inevitably make Cao Jun retreat in time.

Gao Shun nodded to indicate that he knew, but he went back to prepare. Two of the people who followed him died, which made Gao Shun very angry with them. The cavalry in the city temporarily conserved their strength, waiting for the final lethal attack on Cao's army. At this time, Wu Yi of Wancheng had already ordered troops, and the importance of Shang Cai naturally went without saying, which must not be lost.

Liu Zhang has already rushed all the way from Xiangyang to Wancheng, and according to the time, there are still two days to arrive in Wancheng. Of course, Cao Ang also knew that Liu Zhang would come soon, so he attacked Shang Cai with all his might in the past few days, with the purpose of taking down Shang Cai when Liu Zhang arrived. It's a pity that this Shangcai is too difficult to attack, and several times his soldiers rushed to the city wall, but they are always a little bit behind......

"Sir, it's hard to attack Shangcai, we've been fighting for so many days, but I always feel that it's almost a little bit to break through." Cao Ang was also very anxious, it was really uncomfortable to drag on this day.

Guo Jia stood in front of the army and watched non-stop, to be honest, he had seen it in the past few days, and the Cai soldiers were not as many as Guo Jia thought. This was beyond Guo Jia's expectations, he originally thought that this place must be heavily garrisoned, but now it seems that it is much worse.

"Xiaolian doesn't need to be in a hurry, the city will definitely be broken in two or three days at most. In the past few days, it seems that Liu Zhang, even if it is fast, will take seven or eight days, and there is enough time left for us. "Guo Jia is not in a hurry, the battle here is very fierce, and there are not many people in the city, so it seems that the time to capture it is also very fast.

"Sir, do you have a plan to break the city?" Guo Jia's intelligence even amazed Cao Cao, so it seems that Guo Jia should have a way to break the city.

Guo Jia stroked his beard and said: "Don't be in a hurry, filial piety, the siege is a strong attack, and the enemy army is not afraid of us." What's more, Wancheng is very close to here, and they will inevitably defend it. Since then, we have no other way but to attack, and tomorrow Xiaolian can step up his urging. "Guo Jia can't help it, except for the onslaught or the onslaught.
