Chapter 26 Liu Bei rescued in time
"Damn, I want you to pay!"
Sun Quan shouted loudly and launched a counterattack against Cao Cao.
"Hahaha...... Sun Quan, you think that with these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, you can still help me, it's really wishful thinking. ”
Cao Cao laughed, and commanded the army to go through the iron rope and rush towards Sun Quan's warship.
"Oh, no!"
Sun Quan was taken aback, but it was too late, and Cao Cao's army stormed into his warship and destroyed Sun Quan's warship.
Sun Quan's warship was destroyed, and Sun Quan's army suddenly lost its backbone and fled one after another, but was soon overtaken.
"Sun Quan, you must die today!"
Cao Cao's army pursued the remnants of Sun Quan while laughing.
Soon, Sun Quan was surrounded by Cao Cao's army, and his army was only a few hundred people left, but it was already surrounded by Cao Cao's army.
Looking at the surrounding situation, Sun Quan scolded loudly, wanting to make the army retreat.
"Kill!"
Cao Cao's army obeyed Sun Quan's orders and swarmed up.
Their soldiers rushed into the remnants of Sun Quan's army and began to fight, quickly slaughtering the remnants of Sun Quan.
Soon, Sun Quan's army was reduced to only a few dozen people.
At this time, Liu Bei led the warship to appear.
Seeing Liu Bei coming with a large army, Sun Quan showed a happy look on his face and shouted loudly, hoping that Liu Bei could come to save him.
Liu Bei's army also soon discovered Sun Quan's warship, and they all sped up to kill it, rushing towards Sun Quan's army, trying to rescue Sun Quan.
Seeing Liu Bei coming, Sun Quan showed a relieved look on his face.
He knew that Liu Bei had finally come, and Liu Bei had come to save him.
And Cao Cao was suddenly caught off guard by the Shu army that was raiding from the rear.
"The damned Shu army actually took advantage of the fire to rob, kill, and kill all the Shu army!"
Cao Cao was so angry that he hurriedly transferred his army and killed the Shu army.
"Kill!"
Cao Cao's army immediately slaughtered the Shu army.
At this time, Liu Bei's army had also rushed to the front and engaged in a fierce battle with Cao Cao's army.
"Kill!"
Liu Bei shouted loudly and led the army to launch a fierce counterattack against Cao Cao's army, defeating Cao Cao's army one after another, and the rout was getting farther and farther.
"Damn Liu Bei, you wait, one day I will take revenge."
Seeing that the situation was reversed, Cao Cao was very unwilling in his heart and roared angrily.
He didn't expect that he had just taken the advantage and had not killed Sun Quan yet, and the Shu army would kill him.
However, his army had been slaughtered, and he was powerless to stop Liu Bei's army.
"Withdraw!"
Seeing that Cao Cao's army could no longer stop his army, Cao Cao could only give up chasing Sun Quan and give the order to retreat.
Soon, Cao Cao's army withdrew and fled northwest.
Liu Bei's army chased after him, but instead of chasing Cao Cao's army, he continued to chase after Sun Quan's army, wanting to protect Sun Quan's safety.
Cao Cao's army retreated westward, until it reached the Lujiang River, and then stopped.
At this time, their soldiers sat down on their horses and rested, ready to recuperate and prepare to attack again.
"Lord, don't underestimate the enemy, there may be a trap here!"
At this time, Xu Shu admonished Cao Cao.
"Hmph, I knew that Liu Bei would never give up so easily."
Cao Cao snorted coldly.
"Liu Bei's strategy is very clear, even if we set a trap outside Lujiang City, he dares to come, there is no doubt about it."
Xu Shu said.
"It's hateful, if my plan can succeed, Liu Bei will definitely fail, but his strategy has only temporarily delayed us, and it can't change the overall situation at all."
Cao Cao said.
"Yes, we still need time, we still have a lot of grain and grass, and ordnance, as long as we hold on, Liu Bei will run out of food and grass and die, and we can also take advantage of the victory to pursue, destroy Sun Quan's tribe, occupy the entire Jiangdong, and even annex Wu."
Xu Shu also smiled.
"Well, your analysis is very correct, we just need to wait patiently for the opportunity now, and when the time comes, we can destroy Liu Bei and Sun Quan's army, and let them know who is the overlord of the world and who is the last king, not Sun Quan and Liu Bei."
Cao Cao laughed.
"Hmm."
Xu Shu nodded.
The two discussed ways to deal with Sun Quan and Liu Bei.
After Cao Cao and Xu Shu's discussion was over, they continued to stay here and continue to wait for the opportunity.
At this moment, Liu Bei rescued Sun Quan and went to Jianye with him.
Jian Ye City.
After Liu Bei and Sun Quan came to Jianye City, the two bowed their hands to each other.
"Thank you Uncle Liu Huang for your help, otherwise, I am afraid that we will be poisoned by Cao Cao's army today."
Liu Bei smiled.
"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do."
"Haha, since that's the case, then you're welcome."
"Hehe, Uncle Liu Huang doesn't have to be polite, if there is nothing else, I will leave first, I still have very important things to do."
Sun Quan hugged his fists.
"Okay, you can go quickly."
Liu Bei smiled, then turned around and left.
"Well, farewell."
Sun Quan also clenched his fists, then turned around and left.
Looking at Sun Quan's departing back, a trace of gloom flashed in Liu Bei's eyes.
"If it weren't for the fear that I wouldn't be able to deal with Cao Cao in the end...... Hehe! ”
Liu Bei muttered to himself.
Liu Bei returned to the main hall and sat down, he was very anxious now.
Liu Bei's heart was very worried, he didn't know what he would do with the matter in front of him in the end.
Cao Cao's army will definitely continue to move south and continue to deal with Sun Quan, and then Sun Quan will be in danger.
Now that Sun Quan has no army to resist Cao Cao, Cao Cao will definitely hit Sun Quan with his idea, and it will definitely be difficult for Sun Quan to resist Cao Cao's attack at that time.
The only thing Liu Bei can do now is to hurry back to Xuzhou, set up defenses in Xuzhou City, and then attack Chen Liu, bring Cao Cao's army back, and let Cao Cao rescue Chen Liu, so that Sun Quan can have a chance to breathe.
"Deliver the decree, convene the civil and military, I have something important to announce."
Liu Bei commanded.
"No."
A moment later, the hall was filled with officials.
"Strategist."
Liu Bei greeted.
"The minister is here."
Zhuge Liang stepped forward and bowed.
"Now Cao Cao's army is on the periphery of the Lujiang River, has suffered heavy losses, and is now heading south, I plan to send a large army to meet Cao Cao's army."
Liu Bei said.
Listening to Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly.
Now although Cao Cao's army has suffered heavy losses, it is still strong, if you send troops to meet Cao Cao's army, wouldn't it be death?
"Strategist, do you think it's inappropriate to send a large army to deal with Cao Cao's army?" Liu Bei asked.
"No, it's not that it's wrong, but our current strength is far too far behind Cao Cao, and if we send troops to meet Cao Cao's army, it will only be in vain."
