Guan Yu and Liu Bei and others did get a big victory in Huainan!

Cao Cao had many heroes who accompanied him to Huainan from Qiaoxian County and the Central Plains, plus he was in Jiangdong over the years, and Jianghuai also recruited a lot of heroes, so in terms of the configuration of generals, Cao Cao and Guan Yu and others can also make a match, and it can even be said that in terms of the overall quality of generals, Cao Cao is even stronger than the other party.

But the problem is that Guan Yu and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are too much stronger than Cao Cao.

First of all, not to mention anything else, just horses, equipment, and soldiers' combat power, these most basic things are incomparable to Cao Cao.

The Liaodong warriors led by Guan Yu, what they rode were the most majestic war horses in the north or on the grassland, these war horses were tall and long galloping, once they charged, the soldiers of Huainan and Jiangdong were a dish in front of them!

Over the years, Cao Cao has also raised tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Yangzhou, but most of these elite soldiers are foot soldiers, and the number of horse troops is no more than 5,000.

And the 5,000 cavalry in Jiangdong sounds like a lot, but the ones that can really go to the plain battlefield to kill are no more than 2,000, and the remaining 3,000 war horses are all used to make up the number of high-quality horses in Jiangnan.

The horses in Jiangdong have to have stamina but no stamina, they have to have a body without a body shape, and the speed of galloping is not very fast, the endurance is insufficient, and the strength is not very strong, and it is easy to be surrounded by infantry.

It can be said that the southern war horse and the northern war horse in this era are two species!

In terms of armor, the place where the Han Dynasty produced the most iron, and the place with the highest smelting technology, was Hebei controlled by Liu Jian!

Every year, Hebei provides countless blades and armor for the army under Liu Jian's command, and arms Liu Jian's army into a terrifying steel army!

When Liu Bei was just the pastor of Xuzhou, his newly established Xuzhou army in Xuzhou was not so high, and the combat power of Liu Bei's army in Xuzhou at that time was almost the same as Cao Cao's side, and the two sides had always been evenly matched.

On the surface, it is evenly matched, but in fact, with the iron weapons, war horses, and strong soldiers and excellent talents from the north entering Xuzhou, Liu Bei's strength is getting bigger day by day, and his hard power in all aspects is a grade higher than Cao's army every year.

After a few years of accumulation, this led to Liu Beijun's equipment and hard power becoming stronger and stronger than Cao's army, and the gap between the two armies was getting bigger and bigger.

There is no way to do this, and there is not a slight difference between the resources and supplements that the two sides can obtain.

The starting line is different!

At the beginning, Cao Cao's army and Guan Yu's army clashed in Huainan, and the main combat sites of the two sides were near Shouchun and Yinling, and the Cao Cao army on the plain had no ability to resist in addition to facing Guan Yu's iron cavalry, and in the remaining local battles, they were able to fight with Guan Yu, and even with the strategy of Cao Cao and Zhou Yu, they could also counter Guan Yu at some specific times!

Later, when the Xuzhou army arrived at the battlefield, the pressure on the Cao army suddenly increased a lot!

After Liu Bei and Guan Yu joined forces, the number of their troops first surpassed Cao's army, and the overall quality and equipment of the sergeants were far superior to Cao's army, which made their strength gap bigger and bigger.

And after Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Bing, the allocation of talents is really no less than Cao Cao.

First of all, Liu Bei and Guan Yu are now both top generals of the Han Dynasty, both of them are proficient in the use of soldiers and capable people who are good at warfare, and they are much stronger than them in the same period in history!

And under Liu Bei and Guan Yu, there are also Lu Su, Zhuge Liang, Chen Deng, these handsome characters!

There are also Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Tai Shici, Xu Sheng!

Although Cao Jun is also full of talents, he could not gain the upper hand in the face of such a luxurious configuration at that time.

Zhou Yu and Cao Cao were alone in Shouchun and Yin Ling, and the two of them planned to use the power of horns to support each other in order to achieve an invincible position.

But the problem is that Guan Yu and Liu Bei also acted separately!

Guan Yu still led the heavy troops, mainly attacking Cao Cao, and Lu Su was by his side to assist him.

And Liu Bei led Zhuge Liang and Chen Deng, two handsome figures, to deal with Zhou Yu in Yinling.

Liu Bei is indeed very skilled in using soldiers, and Zhou Yu knows this.

However, Zhou Yu is confident that he must be above Liu Bei in terms of design strategy!

If you can't beat it head-on, you can take a roundabout routine!

I don't believe you, Liu Xuande doesn't take the bait.

Zhou Yu thought it was quite beautiful, but the problem was that he didn't expect that Liu Bei was far beyond his imagination in terms of intrigue and trickery.

Taking Liu Bei to Yinling, Zhou Yu shrank all the soldiers and horses in the Yinling Tomb!

He wanted to take Liu Bei's soldiers and horses to attack him when he had just arrived in Yinling, and when his foothold was not stable!

Zhou Yu speculated that when Liu Bei led the army to Yinling, he would definitely feel that his soldiers and horses were very prosperous, and he did not dare to move easily, and mainly insisted on holding on, so that when the opponent's foothold was not stable, he could give them a dismount.

But in fact, Zhou Yu thought things a little wrong.

When he made a sneak attack on Liu Beijun, he was immediately met with a strong counterattack by Liu Beijun.

And one of the wise generals that Liu Bei now relies on in Xuzhou is Chen Deng!

As an important figure in the Xuzhou army, Chen Deng is not a vegetarian.

He once supported Liu Bei in history, helped Liu Bei to take Lu Bu, and defeated Sun Quan in one fell swoop when he was appointed as the Taishou of Guangling.

It can be said that in military affairs, Chen Deng is still quite talented.

At least one can abuse one hundred thousand grandchildren!

And Zhou Yu's design, this time did not escape Chen Deng's eyes, Chen Deng admonished Liu Bei, told Zhou Yu's deceitful plan, and then Liu Bei made a steady arrangement!

After this battle, Zhou Yu not only did not defeat Liu Bei's morale, but let Liu Bei defeat his morale.

And Liu Bei's morale was high because he won a game.

This incident made Zhou Yu feel depressed, but he still felt that this was his own impatience and underestimated Liu Bei.

So, Zhou Yu began to redesign.

Including various methods of luring the enemy, arrogance, ambush, and separation, Zhou Yu pondered and implemented a lot, but the result was that all of them were cracked by the other party one by one.

Zhou Yu never thought that Liu Bei would be so difficult!?

The other party is very good at using soldiers, and that's it, but he is so proficient in the way of deceit?

But Zhou Yu really didn't know that Liu Bei now not only has one more Chen Deng by his side, but also Zhuge Liang!

These two people are perfectly matched, and no matter how clever Zhou Yu comes up with, they can be cracked by the two of them.

As for Guan Yu's side, it's the same.

As Lu Su, who was in charge of Liu Bei's troops in Xuzhou, his Wen Taowu strategy is also among the top in the world, but compared to other generals, Lu Su's experience is not so rich.

But this time his luck was very good, he got Guan Yu's personal guidance, and it can be said that he has made great progress.

Who is Guan Yunchang? Across the borders of the Northland, he was the first general of the Han Dynasty, and how many alien races were wiped out in his hands.

How many aliens bowed their arrogant heads to the Han Dynasty under the power of his Guan Yunchang.

It can be said that in Guan Yu in Saibei, almost 360 of the 365 days a year are spent studying how to fight.

Military experience can be said to be much richer than that of anyone in the Han Dynasty.

Guan Yu and Lu Su complemented each other, so this battle will start.

No matter how many methods Cao Cao and his chief military advisor Xi Zhicai used, how they changed their strategies, and how they used all their means, there was no way to change the situation when they fought Guan Yu, Lu Su and others.

And Xi Zhicai was also fighting with Guan Yu and Lu Su several times, because he couldn't detect the flaws of the other party, which caused him to be very depressed, and he couldn't sleep all day long, and finally contracted the wind cold and couldn't afford to be sick in Shouchun.

After Cao Cao learned about Xi Zhicai's situation, he hurriedly went to check on his situation in person.

As the so-called illness comes like a mountain, Xi Zhicai at this time was lying on the bed, panting heavily.

Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai with a sickly face, and the expression on his face was very sad.

"Zhicai, I was fine a few days ago, why did it suddenly become like this?"

Xi Zhicai lay on the bed and shook his head at Cao Cao with a wry smile.

"My lord...... The general trend of the world, I am afraid that it has already been decided. ”

Xi Zhicai's personality has always been relatively calm.

It can be said that it is not easy for him to say such things to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao couldn't help but show a little helplessness on his face after hearing Xi Zhicai say such words.

"Zhicai, why are you still talking about this at this time?"

Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, we think about things a little simple. ”

"We thought that as long as we held the south of the Yangtze River, divided the southeast, and then united with the Yuan family, we could form a strong momentum with Liu Jian."

"But it turns out that Liu Jian has surpassed us too many southern forces."

"Lord, just Liu Bei and Guan Yu's two troops and horses have already overwhelmed us."

"If Liu Jian exterminated Yuan Shao or any of the roads left behind by Yuan."

"The only thing that awaits us is destruction."
