Everyone only felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

Since the battle against Huaxiong, they have suffered setbacks at every turn.

Ling Tong died tragically, tens of thousands of troops were killed in battle, and most of the ships of the naval division were also destroyed.

Could it be that Huaxiong is so invincible?

While the crowd was in despair, a messenger rode briskly to him.

When he was far away, he cried out,

"Huaxiong's soldiers and horses are already crossing the river, and the lord has an order, please lead the troops back to Jianye immediately!"

Zhou Yu's heart tightened, and he couldn't care about feeling sorry for himself, so he hurriedly shouted,

"Straighten out the army and follow me back to the city!"

Fortunately, the place where the Jiangdong army landed was not far from Jianye City.

After an hour or two of rapid marching, Zhou Yu led the team to the south gate of Jianye.

At this moment, the south gate of Jianye was wide open, and countless people with bags on their backs were fleeing from the city in fear.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu thought that Huaxiong had already attacked the city, so he hurriedly accelerated his march again.

Wuhou Mansion.

Zhou Yu went straight inside, and when he saw Sun Quan and the others discussing the military, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord, why do you want to open the south gate of the city, aren't you afraid that Huaxiong's people will blend into the city?"

Sun Quan smiled bitterly,

"Now that we are about to start a war with Huaxiong, leaving the people in the city will only increase casualties."

"Rather than let them go."

Liu Bei on the side nodded and said,

"Yes, this is exactly Wu Hou's compassion and kindness. As for the people who were worried about Huaxiong infiltrating the city, they were all worried. ”

"Now that people are fleeing out of the city, who wants to go into the city?"

Zhou Yu thought about it, but he was right.

At this juncture, if anyone enters the city, it will be too conspicuous.

Only then did he feel relieved.

"It's just the right time for Gong Jin to come back, we are just about to talk about business, you sit down."

Sun Quan greeted.

Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Huang Gai, Lu Su and others sat down one after another.

After listening to Lu Meng and Lu Xun's introduction of the battle situation, Zhou Yu's face instantly became ugly.

After Ganning's navy defeated the Jiangdong navy and ensured that Jiangdong was temporarily powerless to stop it, Huaxiong's men and horses had already begun to cross the river.

In addition to the 100,000 troops in Hefei, Huaxiong's Zhang Liao headquarters in Xuzhou has also gone to the battlefield.

By tomorrow morning, there will be 200,000 enemies outside the city!

Two hundred thousand!

Thinking about this number, Zhou Yu felt desperate!

At present, the total number of troops in Jianye City is less than 100,000.

Even if you add up all the people in Jiangdong, I'm afraid there is no number of 200,000!

Not to mention Huaxiong's troops in Liangzhou and Wancheng.

How can this battle be fought?

In the lobby, the atmosphere was exceptionally silent.

Sun Quan smiled bitterly,

"If you have any opinions, you can speak freely."

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said,

"My lord, the enemy is strong, we can't be defeated, we can only retreat."

Although everyone didn't speak, the expressions on their faces were deeply convinced.

Jianye City has no walls, and if it is defended here with a weak force, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

"Yes, what the Governor said makes sense, let's retreat to the south first and stretch Huaxiong's front."

"Exchange space for time, and then ask Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others to send troops, and there is still hope of winning the battle."

Lu Xun also nodded.

Sun Quan was silent for a long time, and then he sighed,

"You have a point, so do it."

Zhuge Liang on the side suddenly spoke,

"The problem is that now that Huaxiong's troops are in the city, if there is no army left, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the pursuit."

If the Jiangdong people fled in a hurry and were pursued by Huaxiong, they were afraid that they would be defeated in an instant.

Sun Quan knew the seriousness of the matter, and said with a serious face,

"I wonder which of you wants to stay behind and stop the enemy?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Who doesn't know that staying to stop the enemy at this moment is only defeated?

A moment later, a loud laugh rang out, but it was Cao Cao who stood up.

He laughed,

"Wuhou, I am willing to stay and block the enemy!"

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes were full of surprise when they looked at Cao Cao.

No one could have imagined that Cao Cao would take the initiative to stay and break the queen.

"Brother Mengde, you are ......"

Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao in surprise.

Cao Cao smiled and didn't speak.

Sun Quan took a deep look at Cao Cao, and said solemnly,

"Then thank you Cao Gong, I will leave another 5,000 men and horses for Cao Gong."

The order was quickly delivered, and the generals were in action.

Taking advantage of the gap, Liu Bei walked to Cao Cao's side and said blankly,

"Brother Mengde, why do you want to stay?"

He really couldn't figure it out.

Blocking the enemy's mission is tantamount to sending him to death.

And Cao Cao is not from Jiangdong, so why should he stay and die?

Cao Cao looked at the Yangtze River in the distance and said with a wry smile,

"Xuande, I'm not going to run away."

"For so many years, I have been chased by Hua Xiong and fled, and even the two brothers Yuan Rang and Miaocai fell into the hands of Hua Xiong."

"I'm really fed up, it's better to be vigorous than this!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then understood Cao Cao's thoughts.

Yes, over the years, they have been defeated repeatedly in the face of Huaxiong.

Even their respective bases have been lost.

It is not surprising that Cao Cao came up with such an idea.

He patted Cao Cao's shoulder and said in a deep voice,

"Brother Meng De, I can understand you, but I'm not reconciled to see Huaxiong so arrogant."

Liu Bei is a tenacious person who does not give up so easily.

"Brother for me, I hope you can succeed!"

Cao Cao laughed.

……

With Sun Quan's 5,000 men and horses, Cao Cao had a total of 15,000 people in his hands, plus Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other generals.

Before the sky darkened, Sun Quan took all his men and withdrew from Jianye City.

They didn't stop until it was dawn, and they rested on the side of the road.

Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others to find Sun Quan.

"Wu Hou, I plan to leave."

Sun Quan was stunned,

"Where is Xuan Degong going?"

"With the strength of you and me, I can't deal with Hua Xiong."

Liu Bei sighed,

"I plan to go to Jingzhou to persuade Liu Biao to use troops against Huaxiong, so that I can buy time for Wu Hou."

Sun Quan was silent for a long time, and then he said,

"Okay, then let's leave it at that."

The two said goodbye to each other.

Liu Bei led thousands of men and horses to the west.

Watching the backs of Liu Bei and the others disappear, Huang Gai on the side said hatefully,

"This big-eared thief, when he sees that the situation is not good, he slips away, it is really hateful!"

Although everyone was a little dissatisfied in their hearts, they didn't say anything.

After all, in this situation, it doesn't help whether Liu Bei stays or not.

Sun Quan's face was solemn and he shouted,

"Speed up the march and get to Wu County as soon as possible."

"Whoa!"

Everyone responded in unison, and just as they were about to disperse, a subordinate hurriedly ran over.

"Oh no, lord! Three Miss She, she's gone! ”

"What?"

Sun Quan was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said,

"Where did she go?"

"The third lady left a letter to the old lady, saying that she was going to kill Hua Xiong!"

"Huh?"

Sun Quan was dumbfounded.
