With Sun Quan in charge, the soldiers in Jiangdong fought bravely one by one, and Cao Cao's ironclad army was beaten back one after another. Cao Cao didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly walked down the mountain, Sun Quan naturally led the army to intercept him, Cao Cao was in danger, but he still couldn't help pointing at Sun Quan, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou!" ”

Cao Cao, under the cover of everyone, finally retreated to the camp. Xu Huang and Zhang He also led an army of 50,000 to meet them, and the two sides fought fiercely for a day and a night, each losing nearly 10,000 people before they collected each other's troops.

Cao Cao did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly sent sentries to patrol the shore of the lake and the western checkpoint day and night, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. After Sun Quan launched a surprise attack, he quieted down and disappeared for many days.

Whether he should call him directly or not, Cao Cao didn't know in his heart. The main problem was that there was no advantage in water warfare, and although Cao Cao ordered people to deploy warships to come, they were intercepted by Sun Quan's army at the entrance to the Whisker Dock, and many warships were damaged.

Cao Cao summoned strategists to discuss how to break through the predicament, but everyone didn't come up with a good way for a while. Xun You's construction is that since there is no advantage in water warfare, then bypass from the west to attack Sun Quan, but everyone knows very well that Sun Quan must be well defended over there, and if he wants to break through, it is needless to say that he will lose his troops.

Yang Xiu didn't speak again, and next time he might not have the opportunity to join the army, he reluctantly said, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either, and then take corresponding measures depending on the opponent's actions.

That's the same as not saying it, isn't that what it's doing now? I don't know the depth of the other party, and the naval army does not have an advantage in combat, so it is naturally a passive waiting.

Cao Cao was originally dissatisfied with Xun Yu in the matter of sealing the Duke of Wei, but this time he brought him here to make him meritorious, which shows that Cao Cao is not small-minded. Seeing Xun Yu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Cao Cao changed his soft accent and took the initiative to ask, "Wen Ruo has something to say?" ”

Seeing this, Xun Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, the soldiers are fast, our army has been delaying for a long time, Sun Quan has already prepared, and it occupies the mouth of the water, cutting off our waterway, and it is difficult to attack." ”

"What does Wen Ruo mean?" Cao Cao frowned when he heard this.

"It's better to go back to Xudu first, and then make a good picture." Xun Yu plucked up his courage and said, and the cold sweat on his head was dense after speaking. Cao Cao was furious, but he didn't expect him to come up with such an idea of retreating, forcibly suppressing his anger, and said unhappily: "My 100,000 army rushed here, and when I encountered the blue-eyed boy's interception, I withdrew my troops from Xu Du, and gave up my beard to Sun Quan, so that he could laugh at the lonely coward?" ”

"The minister has no such intention, the prime minister is humble and open-minded, so he naturally does not take the public opinion of the world into his heart." Xun Yu first complimented him far-fetchedly, and then explained: "There are still soldiers and horses at the Heqi place that can be intercepted, and there are generals such as Zhang Liao to resist, so there is no mistake for the time being." ”

"If General Zhang Liao can hold on, does he still need the old man to come in person? Pedantic! Cao Cao said unceremoniously.

"Prime Minister!" Xun Yu was terrified, but he still argued with reason: "This is the minister's heartfelt words, if the strength of Heshu is not enough to fight against Sun Quan, you can send additional reinforcements!" ”

"It seems that he is confident, why didn't he remind Gu before leaving the school? When the enemy is talking about this bastard who retreats and evades, doesn't he have the intention to tease everyone? If the text is old, the words don't reach the meaning, go back and rest! Cao Cao loudly issued an order to evict the guests.

Xun Yu's face trembled slightly, and he couldn't say anything about his grievances, and he also understood in his heart that Cao Cao was deliberately looking for him to be awkward. Alas, who allowed himself to be too talkative at the beginning and prevented Cao Cao from being the Duke of Wei!

After everyone retreated, Cao Cao rubbed his head and asked Wang Baoyu: "Baoyu, since you are here, how about giving the old man another idea?" ”

"Lao Cao, my thoughts are also everyone's thoughts, and it is patience to fight a war. Since Sun Quan doesn't move, let's not move, wait and see what happens, Sun Quan can't bear it, there will definitely be the next step, maybe we will have a chance. Wang Baoyu said.

In fact, Wang Baoyu's inner thought was that it was best for the two families to reconcile and strike the army, no matter what, if there was a problem on either side, he didn't want to see it.

Cao Cao sighed, which means that he didn't say anything, his mood was very depressed, after Wang Baoyu left, Cao Cao drank two glasses of wine alone, stood outside the tent and looked at the sky for a while, returned to the tent, and turned his back to the tent door, and fell asleep in his clothes.

Cao Cao had a dream in which he saw that the waves in Chaohu Lake were turbulent, and the huge waves were monstrous, like thousands of horses galloping, and the momentum was very terrifying. At the same time, on the west shore of Chaohu Lake, a round of red sun rises, dazzling.

Just when Cao Cao was stunned, the red sun instantly rose into the sky, suddenly fell straight down, and landed at the foot of a mountain, the sound was like thunder, deafening.

There was even a firelight as high as several zhang splashing out, flying all over the sky, and it looked like it was about to fall on Cao Cao. Cao Cao hurriedly blocked it with his sleeve, but turned over and woke up, it turned out to be a dream.

Cao Cao got up and sat in front of the desk and couldn't help but be in a daze for a while, not understanding what the sunrise in the west meant, could it be that Sun Quan was the emperor's face?

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't figure it out, so Cao Cao called Wang Baoyu the next day and told the dream in detail. Cao Cao emphasized that he thought that this dream was related to Sun Quan, who might have the appearance of an emperor, and that he must be eradicated for the sake of the Han Dynasty!

It's just a dream, Wang Baoyu didn't know how to interpret the dream, and explained casually: "Lao Cao, this dream must be auspicious, as you said, this sun symbolizes Sun Quan, and the sun won't fall that day!" ”

"But the heat is splashing like it's going to hurt me?" Cao Cao asked uneasily.

"When the two armies face each other, there will inevitably be casualties. Lao Cao, you are blessed with all the sky, there will definitely be no problem. Wang Baoyu swore an oath.

Cao Cao was happy when he heard this, and said, "Since this is the case, I will not have any worries!" ”

Of course, Cao Cao's idea was very wrong, Sun Quan is currently on the south bank and has lived in Jiangdong for generations. And the sun in the dream came out from the west, how could it symbolize Sun Quan, but it was a coincidence that when Cao Cao had this dream, Liu Bei had already led the army into Jiameng Pass.

"This dream is very clear, and when I go to the place where the sunset is, I may find a good opportunity in wartime." Cao Cao said self-righteously.

I don't know if it's because I've been messing with Wang Baoyu for a long time, or if Cao Cao is getting older and older, anyway, he's becoming very superstitious now, Wang Baoyu persuaded: "Old Cao, if I were you, you definitely won't go, the place where the sun sets is just bordering Sun Quan's army, maybe there will be danger." ”

"It's okay, Sun Quan hasn't moved for a long time, he may not be able to take precautions, I'll go back when I go." Cao Cao said, took half of the Heavenly Sword out of the big tent, only took more than fifty guards, and followed the instructions in the dream, all the way to the southwest.

Wang Baoyu was also dragged by Cao Cao all the way, but he cautiously looked around, it was noon, and the surrounding scenery was exceptionally clear, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
