Chapter 135: The slap in the face came too quickly

In the afternoon, the sun shines and the water waves.

At this time, one after another warships waved their flags, one after another, slowly coming from west to east, which was particularly spectacular.

They were composed of the Jingzhou New Attached Naval Army and Cao Cao's New Naval Army.

It seems that this army is quite powerful, but it is not.

First of all, they are a tired army, and as soon as the situation in Jingbei is stabilized, they hurried from Jiangling to the battlefield!

Secondly, the outbreak of an epidemic in this army not long after the expedition, coupled with the fact that the weather was now bitterly cold and the army was severely short of forage, almost caused everyone in the army to panic.

Finally, the most critical logistical supply is even more difficult to replenish.

It can be said that the so-called time, place and people are favorable, and this army has almost never been occupied.

But for some reason, including Cao Cao, Zhu Ling, Zhang He, Feng Kai, Lu Zhao, Xu Chu...... Zhang Liao and others are actually very optimistic about the current situation.

"The lord used hundreds of thousands of troops in this battle, thinking that Liu Bei only had 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, and there would only be seven or eight people, how could he win?"

"After this battle, the world will definitely be the world!"

"Liu Bei actually wants to block the lord's footsteps with half Jiangxia, it can really be described as wishful thinking!"

"Winning ......"

While listening to the sound of sycophants, a strange look flashed on Cao Cao's face inexplicably.

"Alright."

Soon, however, he collected the strange look on his face and waved his hand with a smile on his face.

When the generals saw this, they all bowed their hands.

After such a scene, Cao Cao's mood seemed to get better, and then he looked at Kuai Yue with a spring breeze on his face: "I think it's ...... Is this battle winnable? ”

When the words fell, although Cao Cao still had a smile on his face, a strange color flashed in his eyes inexplicably.

As if expecting something.

It turned out that in addition to sweeping the southern Xinjiang, his purpose was ......

Unfortunately, I didn't know until now, and ...... I'm afraid many people haven't thought of it yet! ’

The moment he heard the inquiry, Kuai Yue was shocked, and suddenly understood many things.

However, although he understood, he would never show these emotions on his face, but gave his hand very solemnly.

"The prime minister swept the north and was invincible, and the general situation was in hand, and now he was pressed by a large army, but Liu Bei was only half of Jiangxia, and the soldiers were only twenty or thirty thousand, and the army was not attached...... Therefore, Cheng is quite a win! ”

That's right, he, like everyone else, slapped Cao Cao's ass.

Even if he already knew some bad calculations, at this time, he could only pretend not to know.

Otherwise, even if Cao Cao could spare him out of love, others would never let him go.

"Xenodegrees have said so, it can be seen that this battle is already a big victory, and now it is ......"

Cao Cao was in a better mood, and a smile even appeared on his face.

"Report!"

But unfortunately, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of a bulletin from outside.

"Come in!"

Although Cao Cao was in a very unhappy mood when he was interrupted half of the show-off, he would never get angry with the intelligence officers.

"What's the matter?"

"Qi Qi Prime Minister, most of the ships and fighting ships appeared in front of you...... The fleet is suspected of being an enemy army! ”

"Got it, let's go down."

Cao Cao waved his hand, and when the scout left, he fell silent.

During this period, all the generals did not dare to disturb, and they all stood silently aside, waiting for the coming orders.

"Road move!"

After a few moments, Cao Cao finally raised his head and began to give a series of orders.

"The last general!"

A burly figure walked out of the queue and hugged Cao Cao heavily.

"Ordered you to ......"

"Whoa!"

……

"Feng Kai!"

"The last general!"

"Ordered you to ......"

"Whoa!"

……

"Zhang He!"

"The last general!"

"Ordered you to ......"

"Whoa!"

……

"Xu Chu!"

After arranging the leader of the army, Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu beside him, and then without waiting for the latter to respond, he had already given the arrangement: "Order you to protect the Chinese warships in wartime." ”

"The last general obeys!"

Xu Chu walked out of the crowd, even though there were many burly generals standing beside him, but in front of his tower-like body, it still made him look a little outstanding.

Seeing Xu Chu like this, Cao Cao couldn't help but praise: "Zhongkang is mighty, I don't have to worry about it." ”

Xu Chu replied very straightforwardly: "Xu Chu only knows that the life of the prime minister is my Xu Chu's life!" ”

Cao Cao was speechless when he heard this, but the look on his face was obviously more relieved.

The generals have a lot of envy for the relationship between Cao Cao and Xu Chu, but they also know that the size and size are given by their parents, even if they are envious, it is useless, so they can only firmly suppress this envy in their hearts.

……

Half an hour later, the flames of war broke out on the Yangtze River.

"Kill!"

"Board, board, board!"

"Kill!"

"Win riches today!"

"If you can get rich, why die?"

"Kill!"

At this moment, except for the main general who can't rush casually, both the soldiers and the colonels are crazy.

They shouted and their men brandished their weapons vigorously, and from time to time they would bring up a burst of blood, causing the entire Yangtze River to turn red.

The scene can be described as chaos.

Of course, that's just what it seems.

In fact, due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, at the beginning, Wei Yan might still have a certain upper hand, but as the war gradually intensified, he began to slowly slide to the downside.

"The military advisor entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and now, am I about to lose?"

Wei Yan saw that the situation was becoming more and more urgent, and he was extremely unwilling, but he didn't know how to reverse the situation, and he felt a deep sense of powerlessness for a while.

At the same time, Cao Cao also saw that the balance of victory was gradually sliding in his favor.

"I also said how powerful Chen Ziji is, it turns out that it's just that."

As early as Dangyang, he suffered a little loss, and when he said to the people around him: "You can't learn from him so proudly, otherwise, ...... You deserve this defeat too! ”

"Yes."

The generals who followed Cao Cao all nodded yes.

"After all, if he wasn't so conceited and attacked himself, I wouldn't ......"

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and was about to continue to lecture his generals, but just as the word 'defeated' was about to exit, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly came from the opposite side.

"Kill!"

With the appearance of these shouts of killing, the morale of Wei Yan's command, which had sunk to the bottom, suddenly began to rise.

And that's just the beginning.

When they saw the banner of Zhao Zi, they were originally at a disadvantage, and they launched a counterattack even more frantically, as if they could successfully win as long as they fought hard.

From this point, it is not difficult to see how powerful Zhao Yun is.

But it's normal to say, after all, in the past, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan used the Moon Formation to block Cao Cao's tiger and leopard ride.

This alone was enough to give birth to infinite hope under Wei Yan's command.

What's more, if people see hope in times of despair, most of them will give birth to more hope or expectation.

For example, expecting more reinforcements to arrive, or assuming that more reinforcements will arrive......

This is the so-called desire to survive.

As a result, the situation has naturally taken a drastic turn.

But this is still because Zhao Yun has just appeared.

As he really intervened on the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield was even more rare to be one-sided.

"Block, can't stop!"

"General, I, we can't bear it!"

"What about our people? Why is there no one rushing to help? Come on! ”

"Are the people of the north going to abandon us?"

This group of troops who were forcefully rubbed together did not have much trust in each other after all, so the situation was only slightly uncontrollable, and a one-sided situation was formed.

"This is the elite sailor that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun said?"

Cao Cao, who was still teaching his command a lesson just now, was naturally in a bad mood after being slapped in the face so quickly.

"Humph!"

"So be it."

However, he didn't want to waste his troops like this, so although he was in a bad mood, he finally gave the order to withdraw after a cold snort.

"Pass the order down, let Feng Kai and Lu Zhao ...... Wait for the army to lead to the north shore! ”

"Bell-bell-"

The sound of gold rang out.

Those soldiers who didn't want to fight the battlefield immediately began to run frantically.

The chaotic situation was just pulled apart.

Some of them even abandoned the unoccupied ships and ran to some ships closer to the Chinese army.

"Chase!"

After learning the news, Wei Yan's eyes lit up, and he wanted to catch up and attack the enemy as soon as possible.

After all, if he can take down the Chinese army, he will make an immortal contribution.

It's a pity that before he could give the order, Zhao Yun's envoy arrived first.

"General Wei Yan, poor Kou Mo chase!"

The envoy came to Wei Yan panting, first saluted solemnly, and then said with a solemn face: "The military advisor has a life, as long as he repels Cao Cao, he must not chase more." ”

"The last general obeys!"

Although Wei Yan had dozens of manipulations in his heart, he was still honest after the envoy sacrificed Chen Feng.

……

Wei Yan stopped, and about half an hour later, Zhao Yun's ship approached.

"General Wei!"

"Moreover, although there were losses in this battle, in terms of prisoners alone, we captured nearly two thousand men, plus undamaged ships...... This battle is a big win! ”

Zhao Yun looked at Wei Yanshi, although his eyes were clear, he couldn't hide his excitement after all, and his tone was a little trembling.

"Finally, I can give an explanation to the military advisor......" Hearing this battle report, Wei Yan breathed a deep sigh of relief.

But after that, he suddenly stared at Zhao Yun firmly, and his eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

Wei Yan suddenly remembered.

Before this, Zhao Yun could obviously come earlier.

But he came so late that nearly a fifth of his men were damaged.

That's not a small amount.

The most important thing is that the ones under his command are all Jiangxia's elite...... Because of Liu Qi's concessions, it can be said that these are his own military powers.

Zhao Yun really didn't see it at first, but he was also smart, and it was only a moment later that he saw Wei Yan's thoughts.

Looking at the other party's gaze that had to be explained, Zhao Yun slowly approached Wei Yan, lowered his voice and said, "This is the arrangement of the military division." ”

Hearing Zhao Yun say this, the look of danger in Wei Yan's eyes disappeared almost instantly.
