Chapter 21: Changes in the Tide of Battle

"Governor! Just now I got the news that Cao's army is heading south to Jiangling, and it seems that they are planning to attack us. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu's brows furrowed and said, "What? How did he get so many troops? ”

"Governor, I don't know the specific situation, but it must be very dangerous, you see...... Do you want to send a large army to the south to support? The scout asked.

"No need."

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said: "Although the battle situation in the south is very dangerous, we can't take care of it so much now, now, we just need to stabilize the battle situation in Jiangdong and not let Cao Cao's army take advantage of it." ”

"No!"

The scout agreed, and quickly turned away.

......

Shou Chun, Cao Xuan and Cao Pi are looking at the map.

Suddenly, a soldier rushed in and bowed to Cao Xuan and Cao Pi: "Two sons, there is intelligence!" ”

"Say!"

"No!"

The soldier hurriedly took out a piece of information, handed it to Cao Hong, and said, "Two sons, please take a look!" ”

Cao Pi reached out and took the information and read it carefully.

"Huh?"

When Cao Pi saw the above description, he immediately frowned, and said, "Someone saved my father?" ”

"That's right! Moreover, the identity of that person seems to be extraordinary! ”

"Really?" Cao Xuan looked at Cao Pi suspiciously.

However, the troops who saved Cao Cao were sent out by Cao Xuan, Sima Yi's strategy, and the order he issued.

He also wanted to see how Cao Pi would react.

he

he

"Who sent this information back?"

"Yes......"

The scout handed the information to Cao Pi and said, "This is from my own soldiers." ”

"Oh!"

Cao Pi took the information, read it carefully, a smile appeared on his face, looked at Cao Xuan, and said: "Fourth brother, this person, we must not stay, otherwise, it will be very unfavorable to us!" ”

"What do you mean?" Cao Xuan looked at Cao Pi suspiciously.

"Humph! I'm afraid this person will be a threat to us in the future! ”

Cao Pi snorted coldly and said, "The so-called, knowing yourself and knowing that you are invincible in a hundred battles, you should understand the fourth brother, right?" ”

Cao Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "What does the eldest brother mean, it is ......."

"That's right! Just like the fourth brother said, this person is very strong, I am afraid it should not be underestimated, we must get rid of this person, otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future! ”

"Good! Just follow the big brother! ”

"Hmm!"

The two exchanged ideas and made a quick decision.

Immediately, they sent soldiers to find out the details of the Assassin, and they sent a number of experts to investigate, hoping to find out the true identity of this person.

But Cao Xuan showed a hint of a smile.

This person is him, he doesn't understand, where Cao Pi is going to find someone.

......

Jiangxia.

Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang sat next to the desk, tasting wine while listening to the advice of their subordinates.

"So, what does the lord mean, let's send back help?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu suspiciously.

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "That's right, Cao Cao has already sent troops to attack Jianye City, I'm worried that Cao Cao will ambush us outside Jianye City, so we must return to Jianye immediately!" ”

"In that case, then I will lead the army back to help!" Zhuge Liang stood up as he spoke.

After the two said that, they left with their guards and went straight to Jianye.

In Jianye City, Zhou Tai was directing the soldiers to repair the house, and his subordinates were also helping to work, and it was a hot scene.

"General, what should we do now?"

A cronie walked up to Zhou Tai and asked cautiously.

Zhou Tai stopped what he was doing, raised his eyes and glanced at the cronie, and said, "Don't worry about Cao Cao, the most important thing now is to repair the city wall of Jianye, and when Cao Cao comes to attack, we will be able to defend the city!" ”

Hearing Zhou Tai's words, the cronie nodded, and then turned around and retreated.

Zhou Tai looked at the back of the departing cronie, revealing a strange look, and he muttered to himself, "Cao Mengde! When you get here, I'll send you on your way! ”

......

"Lord, what should I do now?"

Zhang Liao came to Cao Cao and asked.

At this moment, Cao Cao was standing at the top of a small hill, looking down on the Yangtze River in front of Lujiang City.

Cao Cao didn't speak immediately, but stood quietly for a long time before he slowly turned to look at Zhang Liao and said, "Tell me, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "I don't know what to do, but if it's somewhere else, I might be able to figure it out, but this is Jiangxia, I'm not sure, so let's ask the Lord to publicize it!" ”

"Good!" Cao Cao laughed and said, "You're right! This is Jiangxia, we really don't have any way, but you can rest assured, after we break through Jiangxia, we can directly capture Jingzhou, and the territory here is ours! ”

With that, Cao Cao laughed.

"Haha~~!"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Zhang Liao couldn't help laughing and said: "The lord is really a hero, after capturing Jingzhou in one fell swoop this time, we can pocket the entire Yuzhou, and we will have a lot of land." ”

"Haha~!"

"Of course, after we break through Xiangyang, we will be able to dominate the country! Ha ha~! ”

The two chatted happily for a while.

Immediately, Cao Cao turned to look at Zhang Liao and said, "Okay, now the time is almost up, pass on my order, all the land and water ships are ready, and we will set sail immediately." ”

"Oh~!"

......

Meanwhile.

In a small remote village in Jingzhou.

At the entrance of the village, a group of villagers gathered together and were discussing.

"Alas! Now it's troublesome, those officers and soldiers have already attacked, and we don't have enough food to eat, what should we do? ”

"That's right! What should I do now? ”

"Are we going to die? Whining~! ”

"Who are we recruiting, I'm still young!"

"I don't want to die! I want to go home! ”

The villagers said with sad faces, and some even cried silently.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look, who's that?" ”

Hearing this, everyone immediately turned their heads to look.

They saw a car in the distance, with a flag hanging on it, which was Cao Cao's banner.

Everyone was amazed, and quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Folks, don't be afraid, these Cao Cao troops are not trying to kill us, they are just resting for a while, and they will go back after a while! Everyone, hurry up! ”

The village woman stood up and shouted loudly.

Everyone got up and looked at Cao Cao's banner, and their faces were much better.

"These people are so hateful, they dare to bully us civilians!"
