"Oh?" Cao Cao turned his head to look at the person who came and asked, "What do you have to report?" ”

"Back to the lord, my subordinates learned that Zhuge Liang had retreated and did not dare to continue the pursuit, so please give the lord an order and let me continue the attack."

"Haha, good!" When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed.

He had long expected that the other party would definitely retreat.

"Someone, order all the soldiers and horses, and continue to move forward!"

"Whoa!"

......

On the other side, Zhuge Liang led the navy back to Jiangxia City, and his face was very gloomy.

He knew that if the war continued, then the navy would probably lose more than half.

How can he stand it?

After thinking about it, he ordered the withdrawal of troops.

As a result, all the sailors in Lujiang City retreated.

And in Cao's camp, Cao Cao looked at the empty city, and his heart was also very happy.

"Zhuge Liang, don't you want to fight me out? Hum! This time, I want you to know that I, Cao Mengde, am the real overlord! ”

Cao Cao thought coldly.

......

Xiangyang, on the city wall, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were discussing the matter of dealing with Cao Ying.

Liu Bei listened to Guan Yu's description of the situation in Cao Ying, his face was solemn, and he said to Guan Yu: "Big brother, our army has now occupied an isolated island, and if you want to break through Cao Ying, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, and we will also face Cao Cao's sneak attack, and our army's defense is probably much weaker!" ”

Hearing this, Guan Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Big brother, should our army evacuate Xiangyang now?" ”

"No!" Liu Bei shook his head, "Our army can't leave now, otherwise, once Cao Cao breaks through Xiangyang, then we will be in danger!" ”

"What is the big brother going to do?"

"Stabilize first, don't let Cao Cao succeed!" Liu Bei said coldly.

Then he turned his head and said to Guan Yu: "Big brother came to Xiangyang this time, in addition to helping Sun Quan, there is one more thing!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"You immediately lead the army north and capture Chen Liu and Yecheng, so that they will have a lot less pressure on the frontal battlefield!"

"...... this?" When Guan Yu heard this, he had some doubts in his heart.

It stands to reason that he should go to capture Chen Liucai, why would he be sent to the north?

"Big brother, isn't that appropriate?" Guan Yu asked suspiciously.

"There's nothing inappropriate, your task is to feint Chen Liu and Yecheng, and you can arrange the rest!" Liu Bei smiled slightly and explained.

When Guan Yu heard this, although he was puzzled, he didn't ask more.

He has been following Liu Bei for some years, and he knows that Liu Bei will not harm himself.

He nodded and said, "Then I'll go and prepare!" ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Bei nodded, and then watched Guan Yu leave.

When Guan Yu left, he called Zhao Yun again and asked, "How is the battle situation in the south now?" ”

"Tell my lord!"

Zhao Yun hurriedly bowed his hand and replied: "Cao Mengde led Cao Cao's army to the southwest and wanted to attack Jiangxia, but the military division and Zhou Yu defended it, and Cao Cao was finally defeated!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a strange light.

"My lord! Cao Cao's defeat this time is probably not only to capture Jiangxia, but also to delay time! ”

Zhao Yun analyzed.

"Won't it?" Liu Bei frowned and said, "Why is he delaying time?" ”

"His target is definitely Jianye!"

Zhao Yun guessed.

When Liu Bei heard this, he fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Liu Bei sighed and said, "It seems that we have to defend Jianye, otherwise once Cao Cao captures Jianye, it will be troublesome!" ”

"Yes!"

"Order, as long as there is a slight mistake, send troops to increase the number of troops."

"No!"

......

Cao Cao led Cao's army to continue to advance in the southeast direction, all the way to the east, constantly attacking cities and plundering land.

But Cao Cao was not impatient, but had a complacent expression.

"Hahaha! Sun Quan'er, now your navy has almost lost it, right? How can you bear with me? ”

Cao Cao said secretly in his heart.

He knew that although Zhuge Liang's navy was powerful, it lacked sufficient combat awareness, their goals were to rob property and conquer cities, and there were not many people like Cao Cao who attacked the city, so Sun Quan's navy couldn't stop Cao Cao at all.

Cao Cao's army soon reached Jiangxia.

"Prime Minister! Ahead is Jiangxia County! ”

"Hmm!"

Cao Cao responded, with some expectation in his heart, he really wanted to see with his own eyes what Jiangxia County, which he regarded as his strongest opponent, was like.

However, just when Cao Cao looked at the county seat of Jiangxia County, a bad meaning rose from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed a group of soldiers not far behind him.

He hurriedly waved the spear in his hand and shouted, "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

"Whew!"

As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao found that hundreds of arrows flew over.

"Bang bang bang!"

The spear in his hand blocked several arrows.

However, at this time, he found that several soldiers beside him were also shot.

"Not good!"

Cao Cao hurriedly dodged while brandishing the spear in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

Another rain of arrows came.

"Poof!"

He was shot through the shoulder, and blood poured out.

This pain made Cao Cao extremely angry, and he roared angrily: "Kill them for me!" ”

A Cao soldier beside him answered, drew his sword and rushed over.

Unfortunately, the archers were so cunning that as soon as his weapon was raised, the arrows came at him, knocking him to the ground one by one.

As soon as his weapon was raised, he didn't have time to attack, and the other archers around him also attacked him.

In an instant, he turned into a hedgehog.

When Cao Cao saw this, he was so frightened that his soul was about to fall.

These archers are so powerful.

Moreover, he found that the archers who shot arrows seemed to have spirits, and did not aim at his chest and abdomen at all, but at his head, constantly attacking.

If he is shot, it is absolutely certain death.

"Run!"

At this time, Cao Cao was finally scared.

He didn't bother to pick up the weapons on the ground, so he turned and ran.

"Boom!"

Just then, suddenly, he heard a noise.

He jerked his head back and saw a huge catapult appear.

"Run!"

He exclaimed, spread his legs and ran.

Unfortunately, it was already late.

I saw the huge catapult smash down beside him and under his feet.

A large tree fell directly and smashed on top of him.

Cao Cao was crushed in a dirt pit, motionless, life and death uncertain!

"Kill!"

At this moment, only an angry shout was heard, and immediately after, a group of men and horses rushed over on war horses.

There were about a few thousand men in this group, all of them galloping on horses, and behind them were five hundred soldiers riding horses to chase after them.

"It's Liu Bei's people!"

"Kill!"

Seeing this, Cao Cao's subordinates immediately panicked.
