Chapter 467: Yuzhou misses

No matter whether Zhou Yu defeats Guo Jia in this battle, Sun Quan's strength in Yuzhou will inevitably be damaged, and it will be difficult to replenish the consumption of hundreds of millions of elites, and he will even have to give up Yuzhou if necessary.

In this way, Zhou Yu has failed.

"Hmph, failure is failure, I have another time." Zhou Yu's eyes lit up and he began to attack.

The sword in his hand was clenched, and he swung it out vigorously with both hands, and threw the sword out without looking.

"Whoosh." Under Zhou Yu's strength, the sword flew far away.

He even flew out of the city wall, and under the effect of the sacrifice, he flew forward until he knew that he could not see it.

At the same time, outside Xincheng City, all the suspended swords were like this, collectively rushing forward, and in front of them, it was the shadow army summoned by Guo Jia.

When the throwing sword collided with the shadow army, the two disappeared, and after a while, there was still a lot of sword throwing left, but the shadow army was gone.

Because Guo Jia's skills were terminated, Guo Jia's heavenly punishment also lost the object of punishment.

Looking at Guo Jia's side again, on his head, the Heavenly Punishment was shrunk several times Unwillingly, the silent roar spread, and waves of lightning barriers began to appear, and the next moment, the Zodiac Heavenly Punishment disappeared.

The blood dragon has shrunk dozens of times, and if there is a little more time, it is estimated that it will be wiped out by heavenly punishment, but it has already completed its task, turned into flying ashes and disappeared above Guo Jia's head, only a trace of dust fell, making Guo Jia touch the top of his head, hehe laughed.

"Hehe, it's a failure, but it's a good failure." Guo Jia said inexplicably, let the chariot return, and when he saw Cao Cao, he found that a celebration banquet had been arranged, as if he was waiting for him to go back.

"My lord, I've failed." The first thing Guo Jia said was to admit his failure.

None of the people present spoke sarcastically, because they knew that the meaning of Guo Jia's failure was to reduce Zhou Yu's influence in Yuzhou.

Originally, Zhou Yu's elite army was the existence of the main force to contain Cao Cao, as long as he was reduced to a certain extent, it would not be a threat to Cao Cao at all.

Guo Jia used hundreds of millions of ordinary troops to achieve this purpose, how powerful it is, no one can do this.

"Okay, don't be like this, let's be embarrassed, come on, it's the lord's permission today, you can drink." Cheng Yu heard Guo Jia's words and immediately said.

Listening to Cheng Yu's words, Guo Jia laughed, and didn't care about other people, came to the banquet, picked up a pot of wine and began to drink it, not caring about other people's feelings.

But it was precisely like this that no one bothered Guo Jia.

Only Cao Cao came to Guo Jia, handed him a pot of wine, and the two drank it.

Watching the skillful movements of the two of them, it has been like this a lot before.

"Uncle Zhongdeok, is this the case with both my father and Uncle Bonghyo?" Cao Zhang continued to drink and came to Cheng Yu to ask.

"Well, almost, Fengxiao is still so straightforward, but because of his straightforwardness, he has been able to get to this point, I am really envious." Cheng Yu thought about it for a long time before he revealed his heart.

Listening to Cheng Yu's words, Cao Zhang retreated, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Cao Cao's side started a celebration banquet, and Xincheng's side began to encircle and suppress.

Since the defeat of Guo Jia's shadow legion, the order to retreat has been issued.

Let the army north of Xincheng retreat, but Zhou Yu could let the meat in his hand run there, so he ordered the army to pursue at that time.

In the process of pursuit, the army that lost Guo Jia's blessing was Zhou Yu's elite opponent, and they were killed one by one, and of course, some lucky people escaped back.

By the time all Cao Cao's troops returned to the camp, it was already dark, and today's battle had ended, and they could finally rest after a day of fierce fighting.

As for Xincheng, they also fell into peace, as for what to do in the future, it was the duty of the commander, and their soldiers were only responsible for fighting.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Yu and several people worked in turn to discuss tomorrow's battle.

"Let's talk about the casualties of the army." Zhou Yu sat in the first place with a gray face, he used his skills many times today, and he was already tired, so he sat here and listened to the opinions of the audience.

"Well, the situation is very bad, now there are only 400 million left in the army, of which more than 100 million are still seriously injured, and 100 million are lightly injured, all of them are injured by Guo Jia's skills, he is too insidious." Gan Ning said angrily.

After a day of recuperation, serious injuries are no longer in the way, although they can't fight for a long time, but they are enough to fight a small battle.

"I see, is there any news from the lord?" Zhou Yu nodded and looked at Tai Shici.

"Governor, not for the time being, if there is, I will notify you as soon as possible." Tai Shi Ci shook his head.

"You two talk about it, tomorrow is to fight or to escape!" Hearing Tai Shici's answer, Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and asked again.

"What to flee from, we haven't lost yet, as long as we fight tomorrow, I don't believe they can stop us." Hearing this, Gan Ning stood up angrily, not very agreeing with Zhou Yu's desire to escape.

As for Tai Shici, he didn't speak, waiting for Zhou Yu's answer.

"Hehe, don't deceive yourself, you two go to war, don't the other party have the means to deal with it? Yesterday's raid, but the two of you hit one, although the opponent was hit hard, but what about you, it's almost the same, one seriously injured and one lightly injured, tomorrow you will fight, it will still be the same, and even the two of you will stay. Zhou Yu looked at Gan Ning with solemn eyes.

He was noncommittal when he saw it, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Indeed, in yesterday's battle, the two raided Dian Wei, which instantly caused Dian Wei's heavy damage, but at the same time, they were also attacked by Xu Chu and many generals, resulting in the current situation of the two.

But they must not be willing to run away like this.

"Isn't there anything that can be done? The Metropolitan Governor must have a way. Gan Ning looked at Zhou Yu expectantly, hoping to get good news from him.

"The gap is too big, unless the lord is dispatching two billion elites, there is no chance of winning at all, anyway, the other party has a top strategist who has not been used, my combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced now, and it will take at least a few days to fight if I want to fight, and tomorrow's battle will definitely not be able to catch up." Zhou Yu sighed and told Gan Ning the truth.

It turned out that in today's battle, he went all out, and in the end he left the altar under the protection of the guards, although it caused Guo Jia's entire army to be wiped out and won a small victory, but his physical strength was exhausted, and it was not a few days to recover.

And Guo Jia is about the same, maybe even worse than him, anyway, he had an advantage when he sacrificed, and he was not attacked by heavenly punishment, even if Guo Jia had defensive means, he would be affected, and he would not be able to participate in the battle for at least half a month, but Cao Cao's lineup also had the existence of Cheng Yu, with him, this advantage was a disadvantage.

Without his blessing, just with Gan Ning and Tai Shici, there is no chance of winning at all, and even the last elite has to catch up.

It would be nice if Cao Cao's army could be consumed more, Zhou Yu thought.

Not only him, but also Gan Ning and Tai Shici, recalling that Sun Quan said this to them on the expedition at that time.

"I don't expect you to defeat your opponents, I just want to weaken them, I will do my best to gather a large army in the rear and prepare for a decisive battle."

This is Sun Quan's words, which deeply made several people feel unhappy, and the generals and strategists cannot defeat their opponents, which is the biggest stain.

Even if there is a big gap between us and the enemy, it is not okay.

"But we ran away, and the whole of Yuzhou was handed over, which is a bit too embarrassing." Gan Ning gritted his teeth and said.

Listening to Gan Ning's words, Zhou Yu knew that he was going to compromise, but he was just looking for some excuse to make the last cover-up, and Gan Ning was still so good-looking.

"No, I originally planned to give Yuzhou to others, but I just wanted to consume more of the enemy's army, and by the way, give them an excuse to occupy Yuzhou openly, so that they can prepare for their division of troops, unless they don't capture the city of Yuzhou, but in that way, we can better consume their supplies, no matter which one it is, it is good." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

It's just that this smile is a little ugly, and even Tai Shici can't stand it anymore, but looking at Gan Ning's face, they both know that Gan Ning has decided to retreat.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao launched an attack on Xincheng as planned.

Because Guo Jia is still asleep now, the position of the military advisor was handed over to Cheng Yu, and the army that blessed Cheng Yu's skills rushed towards Xincheng like the wind, and took Xincheng in a few rounds of attacks, which made many generals who were preparing for a big war unhappy, especially Dian Wei, who was secretly attacked, was even more angry.

After some investigation, they learned that half an hour before the attack of the army, Zhou Yu ordered the whole army to retreat, and now it was thousands of miles away.

Looking at Xincheng at his fingertips, Cao Cao smiled knowingly, he knew that Zhou Yu would definitely retreat, and give him the entire Yuzhou, forcing him to divide his troops, and he would definitely divide his troops, otherwise the purpose of this battle would not be completed at all.

In the next month, Cao Cao was busy occupying Yuzhou, and there were several big battles in Jingzhou and Yizhou, because Cao Cao took away most of the strong people on his side, Cao Ang and Cao Pi were extremely difficult, if it weren't for too many ordinary troops, it was estimated that they would have failed.

In dozens of battles, the two have been well trained, from the beginning of defeat and no victory, to now more defeats and fewer victories, they have been fully trained, and they can even rely on the city for defense.

This is much better than Cao Zhang, on Cao Cao's side, his light is completely suppressed, whether it is his father or Guo Jia Chengyu, even Dian Wei and Xu Chu are much stronger than him, the definition here is just a herald, but even so, he has learned a lot, among the many strong people, learn from their experience.

It can be said that if he is given time, he will be stronger than the other two, because the two of them are just improving themselves, while Cao Zhang is learning from the successful experience, and when he turns the experience into his own, he will definitely make a big breakthrough. Even the promotion may not be assured.
