Chapter 18: Attack on Jiangxia

Cao Pi saw that the city gate had been opened, so he entered the city.

"Fourth brother, it's okay."

Entering the city, Cao Pi looked at Cao Xuan and asked.

"It's fine, everything is going well...... But big brother, why did you suddenly come to Shouchun? ”

"My father received the news that you had been attacked here, and he was worried about your safety, so he sent me and Zhang Liao to rush here immediately."

Moshang said that he was worried about Cao Xuan's safety, but in fact, Cao Pike very much hoped that Tai Shici would capture Shouchun and destroy Cao Xuan.

"Big brother has a heart, if it weren't for the big brother this time, I'm afraid this Shouchun City would be lost!"

"With the fourth brother here, how can Shouchun be lost!"

Cao Pi smiled, just listen to the compliments.

"Hahaha...... The eldest brother is too polite, and it is also an honor for the younger brother to have the help of the eldest brother this time! ”

Cao Xuan smiled and arched his hand.

The two exchanged two words and walked towards Shouchun City.

At this time, the defenders in Shouchun City saw this and hurriedly greeted them.

"See the eldest son, see the fourth son!"

"No need to be polite!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Cao Pi waved his hand, signaled that he didn't need to be polite, and took a group of generals behind him and walked straight to the Shouchun City Lord's Mansion.

Shouchun City Lord's Mansion.

Sima Yi was sitting on a chair drinking tea, and Cao Pi walked in with a group of military generals.

When Cao Pi saw Sima Yi, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Who is this?"

Sima Yi hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Sima Yi see the eldest prince." ”

"Sima Yi?"

Cao Pi frowned slightly, where had he heard of this person.

"The small official position is humble, and the eldest prince naturally doesn't know me as a person."

Sima Yi smiled.

Cao Xuan also hurriedly played a round at this time.

"Stand down...... Big brother, I'm going to have a good drink with you today! ”

Sima Yi nodded again and again, turned around and left here.

……

Lujiang, inside Cao Ying.

Cao Cao also received the battle report, and when he learned of Tai Shici's defeat, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but shoot the case.

"Damn Sun Quan, you dare to play yin with me, notify the front line tomorrow and march into Soochow!"

Cao Cao said to Xu Chu.

"Whoa!"

Xu Chu replied and withdrew.

……

Soochow, Jianye.

Sun Quan also learned the news of Tai Shici's defeat, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Is Tai Shi Ci still alive?"

The people below nodded repeatedly.

"Back to the lord, he is still alive."

Sun Quan nodded.

"Expected."

Sun Quan muttered......

Following.

Early in the morning, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses went straight into the Yangtze River and approached Eastern Wu.

Looking at the menacing Cao army, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang also sent troops out.

……

Jiangxia, on the city wall, Zhou Yu watched Cao Jun's warship cross over, and his face became solemn.

"Huang Zhong, quickly, you lead your troops to meet the enemy, be sure to block Cao's army!"

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong made a promise and led the warship to meet Cao's army.

Looking at the oncoming Cao Jun, Huang Zhong's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.

"Hmph, Cao Cao, how do I see you resist?"

Huang Zhong shouted loudly and led the warship to meet him.

Zhou Tai, Cheng Pu, and Gan Ning led warships to attack Cao's army from the flank.

Sun Quan's army confronted Cao Cao in the south of Eastern Wu.

The two sides were at such a stalemate, and no one made the first move.

Although Sun Quan's army had the upper hand, Cao Cao also had a numerical advantage, and the soldiers under Cao Cao's command were well-trained, and their combat effectiveness was not much worse than that of Sun Quan's army.

So in this battle, the damage of the two armies was also very serious.

For a while, neither side could help anyone.

However, the impasse did not last long.

Cao's fleet met the ships of Dongwu in the waters west of Dongwu, and the two giant ships collided, Cao Cao's fleet suffered a loss, and the team was also scattered, divided into several waves, and marched towards Jiangxia from the southwest, northeast, and northwest respectively.

In the city of Lujiang.

Cao Wei's advisors were gathering in the lobby to discuss how to deal with the attack of Eastern Wu.

"Lord, Dongwu must have come prepared this time, and he also brought a huge army, if our army can't be prepared in time, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out!"

Xun Yu frowned and said to Cao Cao.

The rest of the people also nodded again and again, agreeing with Xun Yu's opinion.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "Xun Yuruo is right, Dongwu must be prepared this time, I'm afraid this time the matter is not simple, we must be fully prepared." ”

"So what do we need to do now?" Xun Yu asked again.

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu.

"What measures does Xun Yuruo think we should take?"

When Xun Yu heard this, he thought about it, clasped his fists and said: "Lord, now Sun Quan's soldiers and horses are blocked in Panyang, and they can't come back to help, if we can raid Panyang, I'm afraid it will have a miraculous effect!" ”

Cao Cao nodded.

"That's a good plan!"

"Then we will take advantage of Sun Quan's absence to strike first!"

"Pass the order, the whole army will set off and go to Panyang!"

"No!"

Xun Yu promised, then turned around and retreated.

......

To the west of Eastern Wu, Sun Quan was sitting in a big tent.

He looked at the map on the table, his expression quite solemn.

"Zijing, what means do you think Cao Cao will use to conquer our Shouchun this time?"

"Lord Qi, based on the old man's speculation, Cao Cao is very likely to send a large army to attack us from the north and south!"

Listening to Lu Su's words, Sun Quan couldn't help but shake his head.

"Cao Cao's move is too risky!"

"That's what my subordinates are worried about!" Lu Su sighed.

Although he didn't know what Cao Cao meant, he was very worried, worried that Cao Cao really did this, it would be bad!

"What do you think?" Sun Quan looked at Lu Su and asked.

"My lord, my subordinates think that since Cao Cao dares to do this, he will inevitably send a large army to Panyang and attack from Panyang's flank, so that we can't attack from the front, and can only choose to attack from the left and right." Lu Su replied.

"Zijing's thoughts are similar to mine, I think so too, since this is the case, then we only need to wait for Cao Cao's army to arrive now, and wait until their army enters my attack range, and then we will make a decision!"

Sun Quan groaned.

"No!"

Lu Su nodded.

......

Outside Jiangxia City, Cao Jun was marching towards Jiangxia.

"Report!"

At this moment, a fast horse galloped in.

"What?"

"Lord, the people we came to meet are the main force of Eastern Wu, and they are now in the southeast, please give the Lord's order."

A small colonel clenched his fists and said.

"Oh? They are all the main force of Soochow? When Cao Cao heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, these main forces of Eastern Wu have been stationed under Jiangxia City for more than half a month, and we have been testing their strength, but these people are very strong, we want to take them down, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it without a month."

"Well, I know, immediately order down, order all the sailors to prepare for the attack, and give another order to go down, so that the fleets of the sailors will sail immediately."

"No!"
