Cao Shuo took a warship to the shore of Jiangdong.

As soon as he rode ashore, Lu Bu rode over.

Behind Lu Bu was followed by more than a dozen soldiers.

The soldiers pushed a man to Cao Shuo.

"Childe, this person is very powerful." Lu Bu arched his hand to Cao Shuo: "Fight with me for a long time before I catch him." ”

Looking at General Jiangdong who was being held by the soldiers, Cao Shuo grinned: "Isn't this General Zhou?" Don't come unharmed? ”

Zhou Tai snorted coldly and turned his face to the side.

"General Zhou and I are also old friends." Cao Shuo smiled and said: "In the past, the general was polite and thoughtful, what happened today?" Do you not want to see me? ”

"Cao Zirong, we are defeated, you don't have to be so ridiculed." Zhou Tai said loudly: "If you want to kill, you can kill, if you want to kill, if you want to kill, why is there so much nonsense?" ”

"General Zhou really wants to die?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Kill quickly, don't keep me waiting too long." Zhou Tai said: "If you die earlier, you can save yourself from these pickles." ”

"General Zhou wants to die, but I am reluctant to let you die." Cao Shuo grinned and said to Zhou Tai: "You settle down in our army first, and when I capture Zhou Gongjin, let him persuade the general to surrender." ”

"Captured the Governor?" Looking at Cao Shuo, Zhou Tai sneered and said, "Cao Zirong, don't think that you can do anything if you cross the Yangtze River. Jiangdong has always been a warrior, how can you let your Cao family succeed. ”

"It's not General Zhou's words to succeed." Cao Shuo grinned at him: "Only with the army in your hands can you dominate the world." Now that I have an army of 830,000, what is Jiangdong? ”

"Cao Zirong ......" Zhou Tai glared at Cao Shuo, and he didn't know what to say when he said a word.

Cao Shuo instructed the soldiers: "Take General Zhou down, and don't untie him." He was fed when he ate, and he was undressed when he went to the toilet. General Zhou is not an ordinary person, if he is not careful, he will run away. ”

The soldiers pushed Zhou Tai away, and Cao Shuo said to Lu Bu: "Zhou Tai is a fierce general under Zhou Yu, and it is said that this person can kill a wild boar with one punch. Unexpectedly, General Lu actually captured him. ”

"Although it took some work to capture him, it was not too difficult." Lu Bu said: "He just has the strength to fight, and when he really fights, he relies not only on strength." ”

"That's what General Lu said." Cao Shuo responded with a smile, and then ordered the army: "Advance ten miles forward and choose a flat place to station." Keep a distance of ten steps between the barracks and the barracks, and send additional guards to guard against the Jiangdong army from robbing the camp. ”

Cao's mighty army advanced and set up camp just ten miles from the Yangtze River.

Cao Jun crossed the Yangtze River, and Sun Quan, who got the news, suddenly panicked in his heart.

He hurried to Mrs. Wu's residence and broke in without waiting for a greeting.

"What's so anxious?" Seeing Sun Quan's panicked appearance, Mrs. Wu asked, "Could it be that it is water?" ”

Sun Quan clasped his fists and bowed to Mrs. Wu and said, "Please mother hurry up and clean up, we are leaving Wu County." ”

"Why?" Not knowing that Cao Jun had crossed the Yangtze River, Mrs. Wu asked in surprise.

"Cao Zirong led the army across the Yangtze River." Sun Quan said: "The Cao family's army has advanced into Jiangdong, and Wu County will definitely not be able to hold it. ”

"I said earlier that I asked you not to provoke Zirong, but I just didn't listen." Hearing that the Cao family's army crossed the Yangtze River, Mrs. Wu said with annoyance: "It's good now, I couldn't stop the Cao army from crossing the river, but I lost Jiangdong." ”

"It's useless for Mother to say that now." Sun Quan said anxiously: "If you don't leave quickly, it's too late!" ”

Knowing that the stakes were high, Mrs. Wu instructed the maid: "Clean up some soft things, and we will follow Wu Hou." ”

The maid hurriedly ran to clean up the softness, and Mrs. Wu asked Sun Quan, "Where are you going?" ”

"Now it's only hopeful." Sun Quan said: "It's farther away from the Central Plains, and the Cao family shouldn't be chasing that far." If you give me time, I will be able to recapture Koto ......."

"I'll talk about it later if I take it back." Mrs. Wu said, "You should also prepare quickly and leave as soon as possible." ”

The Yangtze River was breached, and the people in Jiangdong were panicked.

Many people have also left their homes to places they believe are safe to avoid the war.

Jiangdong's staff and generals were busy following Sun Quan's evacuation.

Sun Quan was busy getting people to pack up, and a guard ran over: "Qi Wu Hou, Zhang Gong asks to see." ”

was upset, Sun Quan asked angrily, "Which Zhang Gong?" ”

"Zhang Zhao." The guard replied.

Zhang Zhao had previously persuaded Sun Quan to join the Cao family, but now that Jiangdong had been attacked, Sun Quan took it for granted that he had come to ridicule him.

Frowning, Sun Quan said, "No! ”

"Zhang Gong said that he has a strategy to retreat from the enemy." The guard did not retreat, but said to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was stunned, stared at the guard for a moment, and instructed him, "Please come over and talk." ”

The guard retreated, and after a while, he led Zhang Zhao to him.

Seeing Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan split his head and asked, "What is the way for Zhang Gong to retreat from the enemy?" ”

"Earlier, I asked Wu Hou to surrender to the Cao family, but Wu Hou refused." Zhang Zhao said: "Now that Cao Zirong has broken through the Yangtze River, our army is powerless to resist, and the only way is to let people see him." One is to surrender to the Cao family, but to persuade Cao Zirong to retreat. ”

"I have already fought Jiangdong, how can Cao Zirong withdraw from the army?" Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "Zhang Gong still don't think about it, let's retreat to Jiaozhi with me." ”

"Jiaozhi is a wild place, when Wu Hou arrives there, how can he have a chance to return to Jiangdong?" Zhang Zhao said: "I beg Wu Hou to allow me to see Cao Zirong, maybe I can convince him." ”

"Did Zhang Gong ever think that going to see Cao Zirong at this time is tantamount to going to death." Sun Quan asked.

"Even if it's to die, I'm going to go." Zhang Zhao said: "If there is a glimmer of hope, I will try my best to keep Jiangdong and the Bofu family business." ”

"In case a prince has three long and two short......," Sun Quan said, "How can I be at peace in my heart?" ”

"Wu Hou doesn't have to care." Zhang Zhao said: "But all human beings will eventually die." For the sake of Koto, I die without regrets! ”

Only in adversity can we see the truth, Zhang Zhao's true feelings were revealed, and Sun Quan sighed: "Since Zhang Gong is willing to go, I have a word of advice, and I ask Zhang Gong to keep it in mind." ”

"Wu Hou, please speak." Zhang Zhao replied.

"Cao Zirong is a talented person, if Zhang Gong convinces him, he will definitely persuade Zhang Gong to vote for the Cao family." Sun Quan said: "Once he proposes, Zhang Gong must not refuse, it is important to save his life." ”

"Wu Hou rest assured, I know what to do." Zhang Zhao responded, and then said to Sun Quan: "Please also ask Wu Hou to cherish it." ”

"Zhang Gong cherishes." Sun Quan clenched his fists and bowed to Zhang Zhao.
