Cao Shuo occupied Wu County and sent several generals to lead his troops to continue to advance.

The army went all the way south, gradually encroaching on the territory that originally belonged to the Sun family in Jiangdong.

A few days after the occupation of Wu County, Cao Cao also crossed the Yangtze River.

personally led people to the river to greet him, and when he saw Cao Cao get off the boat, Cao Shuo hurriedly greeted him: "I've seen my father." โ€

"Good fight." Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder and said to him, "Now Jiangdong is our Cao family. โ€

"Not yet." Cao Shuo said: "The Jiangdong boundary is much more complicated than the Central Plains, and the attack here is only the beginning, and for a long time in the future, there will definitely be troubles." โ€

"Conquered Jiangdong, Yangzhou is your territory." Cao Cao said: "No matter how complicated it is here, you are responsible for the defense, and I don't care." โ€

"I'll take it." Cao Shuo responded: "I will definitely not let my father worry about Yangzhou." โ€

"I'm glad you have this responsibility." Cao Cao then asked, "I heard that you killed Huang Gai?" โ€

"I didn't kill him." Cao Shuo replied: "He came to deceive him, I just asked General Huang Hansheng to shoot a few arrows and set his boat on fire, and then ordered the catapult to throw some stones, but after the battle, I couldn't find the body, presumably dead." โ€

"Back then, he followed Sun Jian to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and I also had several encounters with him." Cao Cao sighed: "The people who used to beg for thieves together are now fighting to the death on the battlefield, which is ironic. โ€

"In troubled times, everyone wants to dominate the world." Cao Shuo said: "How can there be a permanent ally or a permanent enemy? I only married Shang Xiang the day before, and the next day I sent troops to attack Jiangdong, which is really ironic. โ€

"You have been convicted of the crime of forgetfulness in the vest." Cao Cao smiled and asked, "How do you want to wash it in the future?" โ€

"Since you want to carry it, then you can carry it." Cao Shuo grinned: "I don't care what the people in the world say, as long as I can follow my father to achieve great things, once the Cao family's major event is completed, who else dares to say that I am not half of it?" โ€

"I have so many sons, I didn't expect your temperament to be the most like me." Cao Cao asked, "After capturing Yangzhou, what are your plans?" โ€

"I estimate that Sun Quan will retreat to the Jiaozhou area." Cao Shuo said: "Most of the places there are wild places, and I am afraid that they will not be able to fight in a year or two." I plan to stabilize Yangzhou first, and then retire and return to Shouchun. Let the soldiers rest for a few days, and then lead the army to fight Sanhan and Liaodong. โ€

"I'm still thinking about Sanhan and Liaodong." Cao Cao said: "The Gongsun family of Liaodong is very well-behaved now, and you have no reason to beat them." โ€

"As long as I want to fight, as long as my father allows me to fight, there is no reason not to be found." Cao Shuo replied: "Even if I find the name to avenge Yuan Xianfu and Yuan Xianyi, I can take Liaodong." โ€

"It's up to you." Cao Cao asked, "How is Wu Jun?" โ€

"At first, many people fled, but after the army entered the city, there was no crime in the autumn, and the people saw that they would not worry about their lives, and many of them came back by themselves." Cao Shuo said: "In this crusade against Jiangdong, we have captured a lot of prisoners, and I want to implore my father to leave these prisoners to me to dispose of." โ€

Walking forward accompanied by Cao Shuo, Cao Cao asked, "How did Ziwen perform in this battle?" โ€

"Brave as always." Cao Shuo replied: "Killed twenty or thirty enemy soldiers. โ€

"Let him follow you in the future." Cao Cao said: "By your side, he can also learn more skills." โ€

"Don't worry, father, I will definitely teach him more practical things." Cao Shuo responded.

"Zihuan, you don't have to hold a grudge there." Cao Cao said: "I will leave him in Yecheng, and I will not make trouble with you in the future." Between brothers, a little higher and a little lower, it will pass when you raise your hand. โ€

"I see." Cao Shuo responded.

But he didn't think so at all.

Cao Pi tried to murder him for the sake of power, and he will never forget this incident.

If Cao Pi really doesn't mess with him anymore in the future, he doesn't mind raising his hand, but he will definitely not reuse it.

If Cao Pi still doesn't give up, then he can't blame the eldest brother's subordinates for being ruthless.

Cao Shuo's face was full of sincerity, and Cao Cao didn't see what he was thinking.

After breaking through the Yangtze River, Cao's troops pursued the Jiangdong rout in three ways.

Every time he pursued the soldiers, Cao Shuo arranged a strategist who was enough to win a thousand miles.

One of the routes was led by Sima Yi with 30,000 soldiers and horses, with Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, and Han Meng as deputy generals.

It was Zhou Yu who was chasing after this passer-by.

fled all the way, and the Jiangdong army still followed Zhou Yu was no more than a thousand.

In addition, the generals who stayed by his side were only Ling Tongren.

As he was galloping forward, Zhou Yu saw a group of people and horses appear in front of him.

He hurriedly reined in his mount.

Just as he was about to give the order to make a detour, the guard on the side shouted: "Metropolitan Governor, I think it's Captain Lu who is here." โ€

Hearing that it was Lu Xun who came, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's take a look." He shouted to the Jiangdong Army behind him.

The one who came in front was his own family, and the officers and men of the Jiangdong Army, who had completely lost their morale, suddenly became alive again.

They followed behind Zhou Yu and quickened their pace.

When Zhou Yu saw Lu Xun, Lu Xun also saw them.

Although he couldn't see who came, Lu Xun knew that it must be the Jiangdong Army that had fled.

The army is scattered, how much can be gathered, and only when enough soldiers and horses are gathered can they have the strength to block the further advance of Cao's army.

Welcoming Zhou Yu over, Lu Xun saw that it was him, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted.

Flying in front of Zhou Yu, Lu Xun saluted and asked, "Why is the Metropolitan Governor here now?" โ€

Following Lu Xun was the fierce general Gan Ning.

After Cao's army crossed the river, he also withdrew with the army, and only when he met Lu Xun on the way did he turn back to look for the defeated army.

"There were Cao Jun everywhere on the road, and he was chased all the way by Sima Yi." Zhou Yu said: "We took a bit of a detour, so it was late. โ€

Looking behind Lu Xun, Zhou Yu asked, "Bo Yan, how many people did you bring?" โ€

"Back to the Grand Governor, I only brought 300 men and horses, and I gathered a lot of rout troops along the way, and now there are more than 5,000 people." Lu Xun replied.

"Sima Yi led 30,000 Cao troops, and with this little manpower, he still couldn't fight them." Zhou Yu said: "Bo Yan might as well go with me first and find Wu Hou." โ€

"Since Sima Yi is chasing after him, I can't go first." Lu Xun said: "The Metropolitan Governor will go to find Wu Hou first, and I will stay here to break off." โ€

"I would like to break the queen with Bo Yan." Ling Tong clenched his fists and said to Zhou Yu.

"The last general is willing to stay." Gan Ning also said: "If I can resist for a while, the Metropolitan Governor will be able to go farther." โ€

Zhou Yu was a little hesitant, still hesitating whether to leave or not.

Lu Xun said: "The Metropolitan Governor must not hesitate any longer, if it is late, there will be changes, please leave quickly!" โ€

"In that case, then I'll go first, it's just that Sima Yi is not a good person." Zhou Yu reminded: "Bo Yan has to be careful. โ€
