"In this battle, our side will lose." These words came out of Guo Jia's mouth, which made the scene chaotic at that time.

"How is it possible, our army has only failed once, and this time it will definitely succeed."

"Yes. This time our army will win, it will win. ”

The generals couldn't bear it, and they spoke one after another, even Guo Jia's words were covered up, not only the generals, but also the strategists, only a few of them were silent.

Listening to the opposing voices and looking at the opposing people, Guo Jia shook his head and used his skills.

"Be fair." Let the skill of quiet the mind be used, the angry people instantly shut up, and they were quiet, forgetting their anger, forgetting everything, just staring blankly ahead.

"Smack." Guo Jia clapped his hands lightly and canceled the skill.

The people who had lost their skills slowly woke up and looked at Guo Jia in puzzlement, not understanding why he did this.

"Listen to me go on to say, it was not the defeat of the enemy, but the defeat of our own initiative." This sentence made everyone even more puzzled.

What is not to be defeated by the enemy, but to fail by oneself, is there anyone who deliberately looks for failure?

Or is this Guo Jia's strategy, and the lord is also sure?

None of the people here are stupid, they guessed slightly, and they thought of this, and the smart people among them even thought of more, thinking of Li Yi in Youzhou, and thinking of the general trend of the world.

"Dare to ask sir, how did this battle fail?" After a long time, Sima Yi asked.

Hearing the question, Guo Jia looked over, and when he found out that it was Sima Yi, he nodded slightly, and then began to introduce.

"Because we want to deliberately defeat, and then attract the enemy to Xiangyang for a decisive battle, and then defeat it, of course, this defeat also has a purpose, that is, to let more people advance, only by becoming a top general or strategist, can we help the lord more, I say this, you all understand." Guo Jia used the simplest words to state the purpose of this battle.

That is to cultivate more strong people and use high-end combat power to win everything.

Guo Jia's words made everyone excited, who doesn't want to make themselves stronger, if they do according to Guo Jia's words, then they also have hope to advance, although it is only a few people, but it also makes them happy, at least much greater than their own hope of being promoted.

"I wonder who will be promoted this time?" Sima Yi asked again.

When Guo Jia heard this, he looked at Sima Yi again, he didn't expect this little guy to be so smart and so bold, didn't he know that this would put him on the cusp, was it on purpose, or did he have ulterior motives? I think it's mostly the latter.

"Zilian, Wen Qian, and you." Guo Jia named two people at the beginning, Cao Hong Lejin, and finally Sima Yi.

This made Sima Yi shocked, he didn't expect that there would be his name this time, whether it was qualifications or skills, there were many stronger than him, and he had just joined Cao Cao's camp, and his loyalty had not yet been recognized by Cao Cao and Guo Jia, could it be that they recognized me?

Sima Yi's face changed abruptly, not making everyone feel abrupt, but feeling that this kid was too lucky, he didn't expect to be valued by Lord Guo Jia, once he broke through the red grade, his status would rise directly.

"My lord, I've said everything I need to say, and it's time for you to speak." Guo Jia didn't wait for everyone's reaction, handed over the right to speak to Cao Cao, and asked Cao Cao to say the next thing.

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, Guo Jia finished speaking, and made everyone's interest high, worthy of filial piety.

"Very good, the location of this battle is Chibi, through the battle of Chibi, consume the enemy's troops, and then deliberately defeat, lure the enemy across the river, and kill ......him in a battle," Cao Cao said some details later.

Everyone listened fascinated, and they all secretly sighed at Cao Cao's decisiveness, which is rare in the world to be able to do this.

When the meeting was over, Cao Cao sat alone in the main hall, looking at the empty hall, his heart suddenly felt a little lonely, he didn't know if he could have the last laugh.

A few days later, Cao Cao summoned Cai Mao and others to discuss the expansion of the naval army, to kill the south of the Yangtze River in one go, and then kill Sun Quan's army on the other bank, taking advantage of the situation to take the entire Jingzhou.

Although Cai Mao and others strongly opposed it, they couldn't stand Cao Cao's insistence, as long as they went down and prepared.

At the same time, Cheng Yu began to blackmail, going through all the families in Jingzhou, if he wanted to live, he had to pay a fee as compensation for Cao Cao, who let them do nothing at the beginning, and now they want not to be regarded as spies, only that.

In this way, Cao Cao's shipbuilding money was available, and there was even a lot of leftover, and when he learned the news, Cao Cao laughed and praised Cheng Yu for his strength.

With money and people to build ships, hundreds of thousands of ships began to be built, and it took only two months to build them all, and when the ships went down the river, the spectacular scene could make everyone admire.

On August 20, Cao Cao directly ordered the army to attack and directly kill Fankou, the camp of the Sun-Liu coalition army.

Just when Cao Cao sent out his troops, there was a solemn atmosphere in the Fankou camp, listening to the news of the scouts.

"Cao Cao and August 19 began to assemble a large army, a total of two billion troops began to board the ship, after a day's rest, all the staff boarded the ship, set off from Jiangling, along the Yangtze River towards Wulin, is expected to arrive in Wulin in three days, from there to carry siege equipment, and then pass through Xiakou, go straight to Fankou to ......"

Listening to the scout's words, Liu Bei and Sun Quan looked at the scout in amazement, not understanding how he could find out so accurately, as if someone had deliberately told him, whether this was Cao Cao's strategy.

After the scout finished speaking, he took out a bamboo slip in his arms, handed it to the attendant, and then waited for the lord's order.

The attendant opened the bamboo slip, took out the letter inside, and then presented it to Sun Quan, but Sun Quan would read it alone.

"Read." Sun Quan's words eased the relationship between the Sun-Liu Alliance a lot, who let him do something wrong before and wanted to swallow Jingzhou alone, but now it's good, Cao Cao didn't run away, but they lost their troops and lost their generals.

"I am Cao Cao, the king of Wei, Cao Mengde, the king of Shu and the king of Wu, I am scheduled to fight a decisive battle at the end of this month, I don't know if I dare to fight, I should defeat Er and others on the river, ......" The following is what the scout said.

Listening to the words that were obviously a challenge book, the two of them were even more puzzled, not only them, but also Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and others.

Cao Cao knew that the water battle would not be won, so why did he still have a water war, listen to his tone, he wanted to fight a direct decisive battle and defeat the opponent in one battle.

For a while, everyone present was silent, guessing in their hearts what Cao Cao was going to do, but no matter what they thought, they couldn't guess Cao Cao's thoughts.

"Everyone, no matter what Cao Cao's strategy is, as long as we defeat him, I think Mr. Gong Jin's water battle is invincible, let Cao Cao taste Mr. Gongjin's power." Liu Bei's big shout woke everyone up.

Yes, no matter what Cao Cao's plans are, as long as he defeats him, those plans are nothing, as long as he is on the water, it is difficult for Zhou Yu to fail.

"Well, what the King of Shu said is right, Gongjin depends on you for this battle." Sun Quan also reacted, handed over the command of the battle to Zhou Yu, and asked Zhou Yu to go all out, don't show mercy to Cao Cao, if Cao Cao's army is completely annihilated in this battle, then he can even take the opportunity to take Jingzhou.

When Sun Quan said this, Zhuge Liang suddenly thought of something, and he didn't say it, but left his doubts in his heart, waited until the meeting was over, and unified himself with Pang to Liu Bei's room.

When he opened the door, Liu Bei saw that it was Zhuge Liang and the two, and directly welcomed the two in, and poured a cup of tea for the two by the way.

"Kong Ming, Shiyuan, why are you two here? Could it be that you have doubts about the meeting just now? Liu Bei's words opened the topic and let Zhuge Liang follow Liu Bei's words.

"Lord, I guess that Cao Cao will definitely lose this battle, not defeated by us, but deliberately looking for failure, although this conjecture is a bit unreasonable, but I think so." As soon as Zhuge Liang's words came out, Liu Bei was dumbfounded.

He didn't understand why Zhuge Liang's wisdom thought so, could it be that what he said was true? Or something I didn't think of.

Looking at Liu Bei's doubts, Zhuge Liang said again: "Lord, this is just my conjecture, it may not be true, but it must be unreasonable, combined with Cao Cao's challenge book, Cao Cao must be planning something, please prepare in advance, let the two generals Yun Chang protect the safety of the lord, even if there is a mistake, you can also protect the lord's thoughtfulness."

Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he understood what to do.

"I understand, thank you Kong Ming, if it weren't for you, there would definitely be an accident, even if it wasn't killed by Cao Cao, it would be killed by Sun Quan, it seems that not only should you be careful of Cao Cao, Sun Quan also agrees." Liu Bei said slowly.

From Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei sensed the danger, if Zhou Yu really annihilated Cao Cao on the water, then Sun Quan would definitely be arrogant, thinking that he could defeat Cao Cao alone and take the entire Jingzhou, of course, the fact is also like that, the entire Jingzhou's troops are on the water, once Sun Quan wins, he can take Jingzhou without much effort.

At that time, he became a person in the way, and he would inevitably take action against himself, if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were by his side, he would not be afraid of any crisis, and he could leave safely.

"Lord, if you really can't do it, let's not go to this battle, go and inform Sun Quan, let's attack Cao Cao in the rear, so that there is no danger." Compared with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong prefers to attack, and he is not very willing to defend.

Hearing Pang Tong's words, Liu Bei shook his head and told some things.

"Shi Yuan, it was the two of us who Cao Cao declared war, if I didn't catch up with the decisive battle, then how the world would see me, I would definitely appear in this battle, even if I didn't do anything, I would be stronger than the others." Liu Bei's words, Pang Tong was speechless.

After that, the three of them discussed and participated in this decisive battle on the premise of ensuring Liu Bei's safety.

Then Liu Bei, as usual, took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to wander around the city, and when he was fine, he asked Sun Quan to have a drink and wait for the decisive battle to begin.
