"Report! General Xiahoudun's headquarters was already on standby outside the camp. The herald ran into the camp like a gale, reporting.

"Mrs. Da Qiao, Mrs. Xiao Qiao, you can go out with Gu and have a look! I didn't expect that Yuan Rang would come so quickly. Cao Cao laughed, strode forward, and walked out of the tent first.

Big Joe and Little Joe glanced at each other, slowly moved, and followed him. The last bit of persistence in the past, at this point, is gone.

Outside the camp tent, the banners were hunting, and the soldiers were high-spirited.

"The last general will meet the prime minister." Xiahoudun turned over and dismounted, and saluted Cao Cao.

"Yuan Rang, don't be polite. These are extraordinary times, and etiquette at the court can be dispensed with. How many reinforcements did you bring this time? Cao Cao held up Xiahoudun with both hands and asked with a smile.

"Back to the Prime Minister, due to the limitation of the number of warships, I only led 30,000 people to cross the river this time. However, Li Dian, Xu Chu, Yu Ban and others are also crossing the river one after another. ”

"Good! Come, Lone will introduce you. These two are the world's celebrities, Big Qiao and Little Qiao. ”

Xiahoudun tilted his head and looked at it, and suddenly opened one eye. The beauty in front of her has skin like jade, slender waist, and beautiful face, like a fairy in the sky.

"The prime minister is amazing! Took these two down so quickly! He is a role model in our hearts! Xiahoudun didn't know why, he was preconceived, and his admiration for the prime minister in his heart went up to the floor.

"I've seen General Xiahou." Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao saluted Xiahoudun at the same time.

"Don't dare to be, please get up quickly." Xiahou clasped his fists and saluted them back.

"Two ladies, now that Gu's words have been verified, you can go back to Zhongmou to get your life back. Tell him that what he wants is submission, not in exchange for future separation. ”

Cao Cao's words made Xiahou stunned, how could this be? The plot shouldn't have developed like this! Doesn't the prime minister like women the most? Especially with such a stunner, how can he say that he will let it go?

"Prime Minister Xie. Our sisters will bring your word to the Lord. Leave! "It was Da Qiao who spoke, and Xiao Qiao obeyed Da Qiao's orders.

When they left, Cao Cao patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder and said, "Yuan Rang, did you misunderstand something?" Feeling puzzled? ”

"The prime minister is wise, but the last general is confused." Xiahoudun clenched his hands into fists and bent over sixty degrees.

"Nope! You're not confused. You're doing a great job. Next, you lead your headquarters to the west of Yangzhou City and camp there. No matter if you enter or exit, you are not allowed! ”

"No! The last general commands! Xiahoudun jumped in shape, rode on a war horse, led the men and horses of his headquarters, and galloped towards the west of Yangzhou City.

Binggui Shensu, Li Dian, Xu Chu, Yu Ban and others arrived one after another in the evening. Each of them had 30,000 horses.

According to Cao Cao's arrangement, the 30,000 horses led by Xu Chu were split into three divisions, each with 10,000 people. Two of the parts were allocated to Li Dian and Yu Ban, and the remaining part was allocated to Xiahoudun.

In this way, the northwest and south sides of Yangzhou City were each surrounded by 40,000 troops. In the east, where Cao Cao's headquarters is located, there are 50,000 soldiers and horses garrisoned.

After Cao Pi was stationed in Cao Cao, he was sent to command the battle on the river. No matter what method he uses, he must take the right to control the river, and there is no room for mistakes.

In Yangzhou City, in the hall of Sun Quan's palace, the atmosphere is quite depressing.

Previously, Shuangqiao had already reported all the news from Cao Cao's side and his words to Sun Quan. Later, the spies sent out reported the latest information. As soon as the two are combined, the needle drop can be heard in the main hall.

"Gong Jin, what should I do next?" Sun Quan remembered his brother's words, "Ask Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask Zhou Yu if you don't decide on foreign affairs." ”

Zhou Yu was sober, but his face was pale, and his spirit was obviously sluggish. However, at this time, he knew that Jiangdong was at a critical juncture, so he replied calmly: "Lord, we have two things to rely on now. One is the rush to the aid of the rest of Jiangdong, and the other is the rescue of the Shu army.

Yuanshui can't save the near fire, as long as we can hold on to the arrival of Jiangdong help, we will definitely be able to wait for the rescue of the Shu army.

The above is conventionally speaking, in addition to this, we also have a strange army, that is, a group of centaurs stationed in the water village. Although the number is small, only 10,000 people, they are all brave and good at fighting, and they are led by General Huang Gai.

As long as they can regain control of the Tianjiang River, the Cao army, like rootless water, will take the initiative to retreat to the other side of the river. In the meantime, the army in the city will come out with a great victory, and it will definitely be able to decide the battle in one battle! ”

Zhou Yu's words finally brought a little sunshine to the worsening situation. But whether his words can become a reality depends only on the evolution of the next battle situation.

As time passed, the people's grievances in Yangzhou City were boiling, and the war-weariness and dissatisfaction of the officers and soldiers were increasing day by day.

Outside the city, although there were voices of two armies fighting, as time passed, everyone understood. The troops who came to help were all beaten back or wiped out by Cao's army.

In the council hall, Sun Quan sat on the main seat, and Zhang Zhao stood in the center of the concert corridor.

"Zibu, do you know why I summoned you alone today?" Sun Quan's voice was low, and his face was tired.

"Lord, have you made a decision?" Zhang Zhao asked boldly.

"Yes, I did have a decision. But this decision made me very uncomfortable, made me feel that I had betrayed my father and brother, and I was sorry for the Soochow soldiers who fought with me. ”

"My lord, my subordinates know the bitterness in your heart. But the arms can't twist the thighs, and the wolf king can't fight the tiger king. Without the help of the wolves, the wolf king had to surrender to the tiger king! ”

"Hey! In this world, it was originally a pack of wolves serving the tiger, but the tiger grew bigger and became the king of the tiger step by step. And in the process of becoming the king of tigers, he continued to eat whales and swallow wolves.

Now, if my lonely wolf king surrenders to him, he should be able to turn a tiger into a dragon, only one step away from the real dragon! ”

"My lord, the situation is stronger than people. This may be providence, and if you had been born 20 years earlier, the situation might have been reversed. But in the same way, as long as you can carry the disaster in front of you, the future may not be incarnate as a dragon! ”

"Zibu, you know what? In fact, before the war, the idea of peace occupied my heart. But despite this, I made the decision to fight. Guess what, why am I going to make a decision that goes against my will? ”

"The subordinates are brave, let's guess. If we don't make peace, what should belong to us will be cut off, and what doesn't belong to us will never belong to us.

Now, however, sum. What should belong to us will not be cut off, and what we did not belong to will gradually belong to us in the future. ”

"Zibu, you are really my minister, I don't have to worry about internal affairs with you!" Sun Quan smiled lightly, as if he had unloaded the burden in his heart.
