In this battle, Cao's army was almost devastated.

The main force of Cao's army marching from Gangneung was scattered, except for Cai Mao's department, which slipped away before the battle, all the other troops suffered heavy casualties, and all the warships under their jurisdiction were either burned by the enemy or their own people, and they trekked hard in Wulin, and finally fled back to Gangneung.

Running all the way, Cao's army was hungry and tired, and most of the northern army barely kept up with the team by relying on the idea of returning to the north, otherwise they would have dispersed in a hurry when they were raided by Liu Beijun.

Since going south, Fu Xun and Chen Qun have surrendered to Liu Bei, and this battle has lost Xun You, Xu Chu, and Zhang Yun.

Jiangling is in sight, Chang Diao's previous road opening army finally knows to turn back, Cao Ren saw Chang Diao hugging his head and crying, Cao Jun couldn't help crying, only Cao Cao was still lying in the car, covering his face with a piece of plain silk.

Listening to the cry in his ears, his heart was troubled and desolate.

"Prime Minister." Cheng Yu cautiously reported: "Zilian sent someone to report that Liu Bei's daughter is missing!" ”

"Oh."

"Prime Minister, Cai Mao took a lot of military funds and fled back to Xiangyang."

"Hmm."

"Prime Minister, there are also many epidemics in the Boran army, this time...... This time, it was difficult for our army to advance eastward. ”

Cao Cao slowly got up and ripped off the plain silk covering his face, and Cheng Yu saw that the wrinkles on Cao Cao's face had crawled all over his forehead, and although the wound on his mouth was scabbed, it was still slowly oozing blood, which was extremely terrifying.

"What a wonderful man Boran is." Cao Cao muttered.

Zhao Yan should have known that the epidemic was raging, and the Seventh Army under him had almost lost its combat effectiveness, so he resolutely refused to send troops, and was even reluctant to go into the water, so as not to be seen by Sun Liu and become the target of the breakthrough.

He disobeyed Cao Cao's orders, although he preserved the power of his various armies and kept the back road of Cao's army, but it seriously affected the relationship with Le Jin and Xu Huang, plus Cai Mao had fled to Xiangyang, and Cao's army's situation in Jingzhou was even more dangerous.

He's got to figure out a way to do it.

"Zhongde, supervise the military ...... of Jingzhou with Wenqian May I? ”

Cheng Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"Wen Qian is only afraid of embarrassment."

Although Cao's army still controlled most of Jingzhou, they no longer had the strength and energy to stop Sun Liu's subsequent advance.

Cai Mao fled to Xiangyang, the nest, with his subordinates, and Le Jin may not be able to fight this person, if there is any mistake in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"The defeat in this battle has nothing to do with Deju, he is still the general of Jingzhou Mu and Zhennan, and he ordered him to go south to crusade against Sun Liu Jiangong.

Zixiao is stationed in Jiangling, Wenqian is stationed in Xiangyang, Berning is stationed in Dangyang, and Tanzhi! ”

Cao Cao said categorically:

"Tan Yi must still be alive! , let Wen Qian hurry up to inquire about his whereabouts, enter him as a thief general, let, let him occupy Jiangxia, and never let Sun Liu cross the river! ”

He clenched his fists and squeaked, and said with hatred:

"Lone must come back, Lone must come back for revenge! Liu Bei, Zhou Lang, Guan Ping, I want to kill you so that you don't have a piece of armor left! ”

Guan Ping woke up to find himself lying in a large military tent.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Liu Dan's surprised voice immediately came from his side:

"Wake up, wake up, little general wake up! Quick, the express and the generals know. ”

Guan Ping struggled to open his eyes, and felt a pang of unspeakable pain and exhaustion.

In addition to the pain all over his body, Guan Ping still couldn't believe the fact that he actually let Cao Cao go.

"How long have I slept and what happened to the others?" Guan Ping asked quickly.

Lu Yi's sigh came from his side, and the Jiangdong Confucian general helped Guan level the bedding and pillow, and said softly: "You slept for two days and two nights, Liu Yuanjun, Guan Gong, and Zhang Gong had been accompanying here, and they left this morning when the military situation was urgent.

General Huang, Wen Chang, and several sons and daughters who followed you to attack the Cao thief are all safe, and now they can eat and sleep, which is much better than you. ”

As he spoke, he said with envy: "Brother Fool really admires you, you dared to take such a few people to assassinate Cao Thief in front of the thief that day. If it weren't for Liu Zhijun's timely arrival, your life would have been lost.

However, Cao Thief was also frightened, and he would never dare to underestimate us in the future. ”

Guan Ping muttered, "So, the Cao thief ran away?" ”

"yes, I ran away!" Lu Yi said excitedly, "In this battle, you led the fireboat to take the lead, captured Zhang Yun, Xun You, and Xu Chu, and the Cao thief sailor was wiped out, and now Jiangling is hanging alone, our opportunity has come." ”

He patted Guan Ping's shoulder vigorously, his eyes full of sincerity:

"Tanzhi, Brother Fool really regrets not raiding the Cao thief with you in the past few days, that is, he died in the chaos of the army due to his poor martial arts, and it is worth it to be able to do such a feat. Uh, what's wrong with you? ”

Although Lu Yi's words were absolutely sincere from the heart, Guan Ping quickly wilted.

In history, he was the hero who killed Cao Cao in Huarong Dao, and now he let Cao Cao go for nothing, missing a great feat, and he didn't know how many more lives he had to pay, which made him have no joy of victory at all, as if his body was hollowed out.

Lu Yi thought that Guan Ping was not in good spirits after recovering from a serious injury, and it was inconvenient to disturb him, so he put fresh meat and pickles in front of Guan Ping's couch, and asked someone to take care of them, so he left abruptly.

Lu Yi let Guan Ping go, but it doesn't mean that others also let him go.

Hearing that Guan Ping woke up, Xu Shenghuan happily broke in with the wine jar and had to find Guan Ping to drink, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other Wu generals who had several friends with Guan Ping also broke in, praising Guan Ping's heroism, Wu Army General Jiang Qin also came to visit Guan Ping on behalf of Sun Quan, he sent rare fresh fruits and vegetables, and kept praising Guan Ping's heroes and good at fighting, and there was a lot of wooing in his words.

Guan Ping finally coaxed them away, the tent door opened again, this time it was Liu Bei and Zhou Yu who came, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Lu Su and others also visited together, and the narrow tent was suddenly crowded with people.

"Ah Ping, don't get up." Liu Bei walked over quickly to stop Guan Ping from getting up, he sat in front of Guan Ping's couch, and Liu Dian quickly dodged away like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding in the corner and shivering.

Liu Bei didn't notice Liu Dian's abnormality, he gently lifted the corner of the brocade quilt, checked Guan Ping's injury, and saw that Guan Ping's wound showed no signs of festering, and couldn't help but sigh for luck.

"The last general is incompetent, which makes the lord and uncles laugh." Guan Ping said weakly.

He raised his eyes with a little weakness, and saw that everyone behind Liu Bei, including his father Guan Yu, was smiling proudly, which was a little less cramped.

"If you are incompetent, will we not all be like pigs and dogs?" Liu Bei also looked proud, he looked at Guan Ping's rather weak appearance, and there was a trace of shame on his face.

"Ah Ping, it's said that my uncle is incompetent.

I have been defeated repeatedly by Cao Cao in my life, and when this fire broke out, I only hoped that I could drive Cao thief away and destroy his army.

I heard that you actually dared to go deep into the army to chase and kill Cao Cao, so I suddenly woke up and hurried away with Zilong, but unfortunately I was still a step slow to let Cao Cao escape, otherwise...... Otherwise......"

Liu Bei actually took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself - you must know that after the war, it was the time to grab credit and share benefits, and saying such things in front of the chief general of the Wu army was tantamount to offsetting part of his own credit in future negotiations. But Liu Bei still confessed his mistake in using troops, which made Guan Ping couldn't help but be moved.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also looked ashamed.

Although they were brave, they basically drove high and walked low since the battle with Cao Cao, and after a little victory, as long as Cao Cao came in person, they were immediately beaten away.

Although Cao's army was defeated this time, Cao Cao still had time to burn his own warship, which shows that their military appearance is quite neat.

At that time, neither Liu Bei nor Zhou Yu had the idea of pursuing and destroying Cao Cao, and Cao's navy was not good, but no one doubted the combat power of their infantry and cavalry.

It wasn't until he repelled Cao Cao that Liu Bei knew that the northern army had been attacked by the plague god and had lost most of its combat power, so he regretted it again and again, and felt that he had deeply failed Guan Ping's efforts.

"Big brother, don't say it, it's not right for me." Zhang Fei rarely started self-examination, "I, I am conceited and powerful, but I only care about fighting, I don't see where my eldest brother has gone, if I go, I will definitely be able to take Cao Cao's head." ”

Guan Yu also sighed heavily.

He has always been strict with his son, but father and son are heart-to-heart, looking at his son's knife-like scars, how can Guan Yu feel at ease. Especially in the night battle, his son led the crowd to raid the Cao army, but he leisurely drove the Jingzhou naval army that surrendered Cao's army on the edge of the battlefield.

If I'm ...... If I'm ......

Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked at each other, not knowing what Liu Beijun and others were doing.

In this battle, the Sun-Liu coalition army attacked with an absolutely inferior force, and brought the right time and place to the extreme, which defeated the strong with the weak and smashed Cao Cao's army.

As far as the results of the battle are concerned, their sweep of the Cao army and the navy is already a shocking victory, and Guan Ping's surprise attack captured Zhang Yun and Xun You, and killed the fierce general Xu Chu, no matter how you look at it, it is a shocking victory.

Why are these people acting like they were defeated?

Zhou Yu really couldn't stand it, so he had to cough in a low voice, and said warmly:

"Xiao Guan Gong's big victory over Huaxia is a shock, we have tolerance together, Yu came this time, one is to celebrate ......"

"My son is seriously injured and needs to rest, if the governor has anything to say, let's talk about it another day." Guan Yu was in an unhappy mood, and finally seized the opportunity to scare Zhou Yu, and he even pressed his hand on the handle of the knife on his waist, which made Zhou Yu's face suddenly cold.

"Father, the child is fine." Guan Ping sat up reluctantly, and said with a wry smile, "It's all the incompetence of the child that let Cao Cao get away." If the governor of Zhou still has state affairs, he will naturally focus on major matters. ”

Zhou Yu didn't expect Guan Ping Yijie Wufu to have such an awareness, and he nodded approvingly.

"This time the Cao thieves were defeated, and the naval army was gone, so we could only retreat to Jiangling in a hurry, which was a great opportunity for us to counterattack and recover Jingzhou.

I want to lead the army to attack Yiling with Xingba and surround the Cao army in Jiangling on all sides. It's just that there are still more than 10,000 Cao troops in Jiangling, and there are still strong cities to defend, and Xiao Guan Gong has attacked Jiangling several times, and he must know the truth and the truth.

Please also ask Xiao Guan Gong to teach me how to break through Gangneung! ”
