Cao Ren was about to commit suicide when Ma Zhong jumped out of the water, knocked him into the water, grabbed the belt of his robe and swam to the south bank.

At this moment, suddenly the dust on the north bank was flying, the sound of horses' hooves shook, and the Cao army brigade was killed, and the word "Xiahou" was erected on the current banner.

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, Ma Zhong knew that there was no hope of capturing Cao Ren alive, so he dragged him into the water, quickly swam back to the shore, and led the men and horses to retreat.

It was Xiahoudun who came, leading the troops to cross the bridge and scatter the Wu army, and at this time there was no time to chase the enemy, so he immediately sent people along the river to find Cao Ren.

On the other side, Cao Xiu has been nervously watching, and has already sent people into the water to rescue, thousands of Cao troops took action, and salvaged Cao Ren ashore, only to see black and blue, weak breath, and hurriedly found a military doctor for treatment.

Xiahoudun was as wide as a copper bell with one eye, and he was about to kill Shouchun to take revenge, but he was persuaded by Cao Xiu to return to Xuzhou with the remnants of the army and come to Pengcheng to see Cao Cao.

Cao Cao got the good news from the front, thought that he had made a plan, and was preparing to go to Shouchun to fight Zhou Yu in person, but before he set off, the defeated army returned, and saw that Cao Ren was seriously injured, so angry that he screamed, and his eyes were black and unconscious.

The doctor hurriedly treated, and the acupuncture and moxibustion were ineffective, Cao Chunyi gritted his teeth, ordered someone to rush the medicine, and fed it to Cao Cao to wake up.

Tasting the familiar taste between his lips and teeth, Cao Cao frowned and said, "Use five stones again?" ”

Cao Chun said helplessly: "The prime minister is unconscious, and the doctor is helpless, so he has to do it as a last resort." ”

"Alas!" Cao Cao sighed softly and fell silent.

Although Wushisan can cure headaches, and even has the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing yang, but after using it, the body is weak, and he has become thinner and thinner in the past six months, often dizzy, and Cao Cao loves and hates it.

But as long as the head disease attacked, other medicines were useless at all, and he would rather roll in pain than use more.

He also suspected that Zuo Ci had ulterior motives, but He Yan, Deng Yang, Xiahou Xuan and other young people were safe and sound, and they could only sigh that they were old and weak, and the heroes were in their twilight.

Cao Chunyan said: "The loss of Huainan endangers the Central Plains, so take precautions as soon as possible." ”

"Blue-eyed Ann dares to covet the Central Plains?" Cao Cao came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhou Lang's son is a big thing for me, quickly adjust the soldiers of Hebei, I want to set foot in Jiangdong, and take Xiao Qiao to hate Xuexue!" ”

Chen Jiao hurriedly persuaded: "The previous expedition to Jingzhou, the hearts of the people of Hebei are floating, and no more troops can be transferred at this time, I expect Zhou Yu to return to Jiangdong to recuperate, and the rest of the generals in Jiangdong are only on defense, Guan Yu is in Nanyang to look at the Central Plains, and this matter needs to be discussed in the long run." ”

Hearing Guan Yu's name, Cao Cao immediately calmed down and asked, "What are your best plans?" ”

Cao Xiuyan said: "If you don't take back Shouchun, the Central Plains will be difficult to settle, you can transfer troops from Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and first see who Sun Quan sends to guard Huainan, and then make a decision." ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, transferred some troops from all over the country, prepared a total of 30,000 horses to prepare for war, and ordered Chen Jiao to send people to inquire about the news of Huainan.

Everyone retreated, and instructed Cao Chun: "I have a head attack, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in military affairs, so quickly transfer Sima Yi to the front of the army to listen to it." ”

Cao Chun was stunned: "The prime minister said before that he should guard against this person, and he should not be asked to command the army, why ......?"

Cao Cao said coldly: "To deal with the Jiangdong rats, Sima Zhongda is the best candidate. ”

……

In Shouchun City, the Wu army was jubilant, from Sun Ce to Sun Quan, nearly ten years of pulling, they finally occupied Huainan, and since then Jiangdong has been stable.

Sun Quan listened to Zhou Yu's suggestion, transferred Lu Su to the north, worshiped the governor of Huainan, took Zhu Huan as the Taishou of Guangling, and Lu Xun as the military advisor, and concentrated all his efforts to defend Huainan.

The convoy returned to Jianye, Sun Quan led the civil and military forces to greet Zhou Yu in person, and the people greeted each other on the road, beating gongs and drums.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Sun Quan saw that Zhou Yu's face was pale and his lips were blue, so he hurriedly jumped on the wheel and pressed it into the car: "Du Du has worked hard, spared his life for Jiangdong, and drove the car for you alone!" ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "How dare you drive a car?" Torment me! ”

Sun Quan sighed angrily: "For this Huainan land, the eldest brother was killed, and Gongjin almost died, breaking my Jiangdong pillars, this triumphant return, not only for the governor, but also for the soul of the eldest brother in the sky!" ”

"Bo Fu ......" Zhou Yu's expression was complicated, and he remembered Da Qiao's words again, and the joy of victory dissipated instantly.

Sun Quan thought that Zhou Yu missed Sun Ce again, and comforted him: "Huainan is established, I will dredge the ditch and connect the Jianghuai, and the navy can enter Huai from Chaohu Lake, Sheyang Lake, and the East China Sea. ”

Zhou Yu gathered his mind and nodded: "Cao thief lost Shouchun, he will not give up, and Xuzhou is the place of the four wars, at this time, do not rush into the army, when the training of the army accumulates millet, watch the provocation and wait for the gap, wait for Liu Qi to send troops, before plotting the Central Plains." ”

Speaking of Liu Qi, Sun Quan frowned and sighed: "Liu Qi took Hanzhong, and now he has entered Shu, and his momentum has been achieved, and I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to Jiangdong in the future." ”

Zhou Yu didn't want to stay in Jianye for a long time, so he took the opportunity to say: "After meeting Guotai, I want to go back to Chaisang to recuperate, which can not only recuperate with peace of mind, but also guard against Jingzhou." If Liu Qi takes Yizhou, he must try to pass the Guanzhong, and if the time is ripe, he will take advantage of Jingzhou, and there is nothing wrong with it! ”

Sun Quan frowned for a while: "I just got married to Liu Qi, how to use soldiers?" ”

Zhou Yu's pale lips flashed a sneer: "Although Jiangdong has the solidity of the three rivers, it is more conservative and not enterprising enough. If one family is dominant, it will definitely threaten Jiangdong! Since ancient times, the king has been defeated, the lord does not seek Jingzhou, he Liu Qi will go down the river in the future, how can he miss the love of his in-laws? ”

Sun Quan's eyes were slightly cold when he heard this, and he said slowly after a while: "What Gong Jin said is extremely true. ”

Zhou Yu went to the city to rest for a while, and the doctor bandaged his wounds again, first went to the spirit to offer incense to Wu Guotai, and then went to the mansion to have a banquet and meet Mrs. Wu.

Hearing the good news from Huainan, the old lady was also extremely happy, her complexion was ruddy, and she praised Zhou Yu endlessly, and she wanted to treat him personally.

Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "It's just a flesh injury, why worry about it, how dare Lao Guotai do it himself?" I'm afraid that the cheap body will be broken and frighten Guotai. ”

Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "Gong Jin probably doesn't know, the old man likes to fiddle with herbs since he was a child, read medical books all over the world, and teach himself medical skills. Bo Fu's arrow wound was also healed by me, if it weren't for his violent temperament and anger that caused the gold sores to burst, you two would be able to ...... side by side."

Seeing Mrs. Wu's expression turn sad, Zhou Yu's heart trembled, and her heart was surging like a river, could it be that what Da Qiao said was really groundless?

Sun Quan saw Zhou Yu's face change slightly, and hurriedly persuaded: "The matter of the eldest brother, there is no need to mention it again, Guotai is indeed quite accomplished in medical skills, although you and I are not the same surname, but we are also brothers and sisters, Gongjin does not need to see outside." ”

Mrs. Wu took out a porcelain bottle and said: "This is an ointment made of whale gall bladder and fish oil in the South China Sea, which is the most effective for Jin Chuang's injury. ”

Zhou Yu had no choice but to untie his shirt and let the old lady wipe the medicinal wine, only to feel that the wound was cool, and the pain disappeared instantly.
