Liu He felt that there was something strange in this, today was the last day of the battle, and when the sun set in the afternoon, all the soldiers of the three parties would withdraw from the battlefield, and the results of the first battle would also be revealed.

Even if Cao Cao and Sun Quan didn't listen to yesterday's battle report brought by the scouts, they should always witness the results with their own eyes, right?

After Liu He listened to the battle report of his scout, he immediately understood everything.

It's not a strange problem, it's a big problem.

In the battle the next day, Cao Cao's troops not only failed to recover their defeat in time, but were even more defeated, and were robbed of five jade stones by those Jianghu people.

Cao Cao's side is not mentioned for the time being, Sun Quan's side is even more weird, overnight, all the troops seem to have disappeared out of thin air, all the troops under Liu He have been looking for a whole day, but they haven't even seen the shadow of Sun Quan's troops.

The conclusion is obvious, if it weren't for the fact that a lot of energy was spent searching for Sun Quan's troops, those Jianghu people should have been able to take more jade from Cao Cao.

Liu He picked up a cup of tea on the table and fell into deep thought, until the cup of tea completely lost its heat, and it was still held tightly in his hand and did not move.

He stood up and slowly walked to the edge of the railing, a cup of herbal tea, and before he could swallow it, his mouth was full of bitterness.

The last thing he wanted to see finally came true.

Judging from the unilateral attrition of Cao Cao's troops, he and Sun Quan obviously did not form an alliance.

And the disappearance of Sun Quan's troops out of thin air can be said to cooperate with Cao Cao's actions to a large extent, and Liu He's troops will definitely be constrained at this time because they are wary of the surprise attack of Sun Quan's troops.

Sun Quan's intention is obvious, he is delaying time, but what Cao Cao wants to do, Liu He can't understand it.

According to the scout's report, Cao Cao's troops were also constantly wandering, refusing to engage in a head-on confrontation with Liu He's troops, and from this point on, Cao Cao also seemed to want to delay time.

But to delay time, there must always be a bottom line, four on the first day, five on the second day, and nine jade stones for two consecutive days, which is inevitably too great.

Liu He originally thought that Cao Cao and Sun Quan would choose to join forces with him after seeing the strength of those Jianghu people, but now it seems that not only Cao Cao has no intention of giving up, but even Sun Quan seems to be secretly brewing something.

At this moment, Liu He no longer cares about how Sun Quan's troops disappeared out of thin air, because within a radius of twenty miles, even if Sun Quan only has 800 people participating in the battle, it is impossible not to leave a trace, and the only explanation is that Cao Cao took the initiative to act as a shield for Sun Quan, blocking Sun Quan's troops from the field of vision of Liu He's troops.

This is not a deliberate alliance, but an instinctive reaction, in the eyes of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, the group of Jianghu people under Liu He at this time is like a group of fierce beasts in this dense forest, and they can only use all means to deal with it.

For the whole day, Liu He was alone, sitting on the viewing platform.

He didn't finish his rice, and the tea on the table was cold and changed, and it was cold again.

It wasn't until the sun reached the west mountain that Cao Cao and Sun Quan's carriages appeared outside the viewing platform at the same time.

Liu He looked at it quietly, from the faces of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, there was not the slightest clue, but from their two entourages, Liu He vaguely sensed something.

The young Amon, walking behind his lord with his head held high, was indescribably proud, as if this battle had been won.

And Xu Chu beside Cao Cao is even more different from the previous two days, he is already burly, but at this time he has changed into a military uniform, which gives people a feeling of strength and bravery.

Liu He looked at the big knife in Xu Chu's hand that did not lose to Guan Yu, and then called Fa Jie, and whispered a few words in his ear.

As soon as Fajie retreated, Cao Cao and Sun Quan had already come to Liu He's side and sat in their respective seats.

The scouts of the two of them had returned to the battlefield as early as the morning, and Liu He did not know whether they had left the information behind, and Cao Cao and Sun Quan did not even ask as if they didn't care.

The three characters who are calling for wind and rain today just sit silently like that, looking at a clearing under the sunny slope.

From beginning to end, there was no communication between the three of them, and they didn't even look at each other again, until a team of people appeared in the dense forest opposite.

This group of soldiers is holding the banner of which side, at such a distance, no one can see clearly, but from the different clothes on their bodies, it can be distinguished that this group of people is the group of Jianghu people under Liu He.

Liu He's heart was in ecstasy, for a whole day before, he was worried that although these Jianghu people's martial arts were far higher than Cao Cao and Sun Quan's troops, after all, they had not experienced three consecutive days of protracted battles, and what Liu He was most afraid of was that these Jianghu people were dragged down by the other party because they had no battlefield experience.

Now seeing their appearance, a big stone in Liu He's heart has finally fallen to the ground.

From those Jianghu people to the viewing platform, there is only less than a mile left, and there is only one river to cross in the middle, and the next is a horse and a flat river. As long as they arrived at the exit under the viewing platform, the nine pieces of jade, Liu He could put them in his pocket steadily.

However, it is this short period of road that makes those Jianghu people go through extremely difficult times.

A group of cavalry, with lightning speed, suddenly rushed into the battlefield from under the viewing platform, and the number of people greatly surprised Liu He.

After seeing the military uniforms worn by those cavalrymen, Liu He suddenly seemed to realize something, and turned his head suddenly, only to find that Xu Chu, who had been standing behind Cao Cao, had long since disappeared.

"When Mr. walked around Xuchang City, I lost 100,000 tigers and leopards, and now that I think about it, Cao still feels a little painful," Cao Cao took the initiative to introduce with a smug face, "The tiger and leopard riders that Mr. sees now have just been trained recently, compared to the previous one...... Forget it, ten soldiers were sent in, and only one survived in the end, and the gentleman was kind-hearted, so he probably didn't want to listen to it. ”

Liu He ignored Cao Cao, but stared at Xu Chu, the leading general in front of the cavalry.

There is no doubt that Xu Chu's target is the group of Jianghu people who have just come out of the dense forest.

And this tiger and leopard cavalry, which only entered the battlefield at this time, is also a chess piece that Cao Cao has been holding in his hand.

Liu He finally understood Cao Cao's intentions, he wanted to concentrate all his strength at the last moment, if those Jianghu people couldn't withstand the rush of this wave of tigers and leopards, not only Cao Cao's nine jades would be taken back, but even Liu He's own sixteen would be left.
