However, Cao Cao managed to deceive the account and ambushed him.

directly let 30,000 soldiers and horses occupy that area, but in exchange for it, it is just an empty city!

And Liu Bei knew that the weather had been very dry recently, so he used a ruthless trick.

The fire oil was smeared in the city, and after Cao Jun came in, he directly shot it with rockets, burning the entire city into ruins, and even Zhang Liao and other three generals were embarrassed and fled in all directions!

At this time, many residents of Jingzhou have done a lot of things, such as setting up some ditches for defense.

The armies on the southern side were generally so-called shield soldiers, and they were all soldiers who used heavy shields, unlike the cavalry, who could fight in the song and also used to stop the cavalry from breaking down the formation.

In this way, Cao Jun's marching speed became much slower!

The battle line has also been completely stretched.

Cao Cao's side also became a headache.

This battle with Jingzhou was directly pulled from Nanyang to Nanjun, and almost half of the area was in this state.

What is this called?

It can only be regarded as a war of attrition of generals, depending on who has more generals on their side, and the more people can win.

So Jinzhou has also become dangerous, and Cao Jun's side also has some advantages.

And on this day.

Jia Xu walked into the government office with the battle report, Xi Yu was waiting for the news of Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia, and after dealing with it, the relative and Qian Zhuang will also usher in more fierce investment.

At this time, they will also take a group of soldiers to Youzhou to solve the problems there.

And the scourge over there is mainly banditry.

Jia Xu's face was worried, and he said, "Lord! The battle report from the front, they have been stuck there for almost a year! ”

"Cao Gong has occupied Nanyang, and now, he is waving troops to Xiangyang!"

"So this can only mean one thing, Jingzhou is about to fall!"

Xi Yu was a little dazed: "Where did Liu Bei go?" ”

"This person is very cunning, with more than 10,000 soldiers under his command to escort Liu Biao to Jiangxia! Now that only some of Cai's female dependents and young children are presiding over Xiangyang, there is no suspense about the outcome of this battle! ”

Jia Xu's eyes were bitter, and then he said, "Lord, you said earlier that the Cao Guild had problems in Chibi?" This sentence should not make much sense! ”

"You don't have to jump to the conclusion so early."

Xi Yu laughed: "So far, the battle is not over yet!" Although there is a big problem in Jingzhou, there may still be various situations on our side! ”

"Jiangxia is here, Jiangdong is also there, and there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses!"

Xi Yu's expression was actually quite happy.

Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia made eye contact, and they both felt that Xi Yu seemed to be too optimistic.

"On the Jiangdong side, you can hold the foundation, but you can't expand your territory!"

Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to say: "And I have to tell you, in fact, Jiangdong is also good at water warfare, and there is no one on Cao Cao's side who can lead the water division!" ”

"However, Cao Cao's side can actually choose to take the land route, but there are also various natural hazards and checkpoints, and we may be able to see Cao Jun's side suffer heavy losses!"

Xi Yu shook his head and said: "He doesn't want to go by land, I'm sure that he will definitely choose to walk on the water!" ”

"Don't forget, how long did Liu Biao fight with Jiangdong? They are all fighting across the river! He still has a group of sailor talents under his hands! ”

Guo Jia had a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Then why do you think Jiangdong can win?" ”

Xi Yu is not very sure.

However, he felt that if Zhou Yu was there, there should be no problems.

This man is a man of great scheming, and he is also extremely powerful.

Regardless of the so-called romance, even in real history, Zhou Yu's performance on the red cliff is remarkable, and it can be regarded as invincible!

"How about we make a bet?"

The corners of Xi Yu's mouth hooked slightly.

Jia Xu also took a few deep breaths: "Why are you so optimistic? ”

"Make a bet! What are you going to do with the jackpot? ”

The three of them made eye contact, and everyone rubbed their chins, and then said:

"Of course it's okay, but we'll have to think about what to do!"

"But if Cao Gong wins, we will have a lot of fun here!"

"Actually, I think so too!" Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "Although I really want to be on your side, the key question is, we don't think there is any chance of victory on the Jiangdong side?" ”

"If the Koto side can really win!"

"It was a miracle!"

Xi Yu smiled and said, "You still have to have a heart that can believe in miracles!" ”

"There is no shortage of miracles in the world!"

Xi Yu's tone was a little dull again: "It's just that you have to be clear about one thing!" Cao Cao's side is actually facing a lot of dangers! Their warriors are also tired of fighting, and maybe there will be problems! ”

"To be honest, fighting a war for a long time can be regarded as an opportunity, and you can't communicate with your family, and you will feel broken down when you are in trouble!"

"But you have to know one thing, Liu Bei is taking the people with him!"

"He can also be regarded as the way of inheriting the sky!"

"And Liu Bei was originally a member of the royal family, and Liu Biao escaped with him, which can be regarded as having a destiny!"

"And the people of Jiangdong are good at water warfare, and they can be regarded as occupying the home field!"

"And there are also fierce generals such as Tai Shici and Zhou Yu in Jiangsu, as well as terrifying generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, which can be regarded as human!"

"Therefore, I can also conclude that Cao Cao will definitely not win!"

After hearing this, everyone also felt that it was indeed very reasonable.

Only people like Xi Yu who criticize from an objective position can think thoroughly.

If they are now in the same camp as Cao Cao, it is estimated that there is no way to make an accurate judgment.

It's impossible to see it so accurately!

The generals on the Jiangdong side are indeed good at fighting in the water, but in fact, they are not widely known!

Xi Yu can actually understand this, in fact, he already has a deep understanding of the situation in the world.

And Cao Jun didn't think Zhou Yu was a good talent, and even thought that Jiangdong was just some rats!

I don't look at them either!

Especially after Sun Ce was defeated in Hefei, they looked down on Jiangdong even more.

"If you look at it this way, it's really a bit troublesome!"

After Jia Xu and the others thought about it, they remembered something.

After a while, Guo Jia got up and bowed to Xi Yu: "I finally understand now, why are you so determined!" You are worthy of our lord! ”

"So at this stage, we should tell the design institute to get the design drawings of the dock out!"

"It's better to be able to park some large warships and warships!"

"As for what kind of war can go faster, we also have to put it on the research agenda, and it is not only Jiangdong, if we can fight at sea in the future, it is also a good choice!"

Xi Yu nodded.

In fact, what Guo Jia said is very reasonable, now their dock can only park some small merchant ships, and those large ships can't get in at all.

"Just do what you say! Let's keep an eye on the situation on the man's side, we also need to strengthen the drills, it's best not to let any accidents happen over there! ”

"Okay!"

Jia Xu and Guo Jia left, Xi Yu continued to sit at the table and looked at those official documents, and Zhuge Liang also helped Xi Yu deal with affairs.

Although he is resourceful, he is actually a relatively calm and introverted person, and he doesn't like to talk to others more at work.

Xi Yu is also happy to have a leisure.

To be honest, Lao Cao still doesn't know if he can come back from Jiangdong alive!

This matter is also very important to Xi Yu.

What is the real situation, Xi Yu wants to take a look again.

However, Xi Yu knew that in history, Cao Cao suffered a big defeat on the red cliff, and then returned to Xuchang with the desperate protection of the guards.

And at that time, everyone in Xuchang knew that he had lost, and Ma Teng of Xiliang even found someone to come over and assassinate Cao Cao.

To be honest, Guan Yu will not let Cao Cao go this time, and what kind of situation will happen at that time, Xi Yu is also very much looking forward to it.

The summer of this year.

Jingzhou surrendered.

Except for Jiangxia, all the land came under Cao Cao's command.

The Cai family was named a lady, and the Cai family can be regarded as continuing to become a noble scholar clan and continue to rule the entire Jingzhou.

And after Cao Cao entered Xiangyang, he stationed troops in the south, and at this time, he was a little relieved.

Although they didn't catch Liu Bei and Liu Biao, there was no threat in Cao Cao's eyes, and they didn't want to escape.

They also have only one place to escape.

That's Koto.

At this time, in the government office, Cao Cao invited all the soldiers to a banquet, and he was very happy, and even wrote a poem by the river.

The next day, Cao Cao not only rewarded everyone according to his merits, but even made a table to the Son of Heaven and performed an act of sacrificing to the heavens.

And he also asked his subordinate Xi Zhicai to write a letter of persuasion and asked him to hand it over to Dongwu.

Bang bang!

Somewhere in Jiangdong or something, Sun Ce directly smashed the book on the ground, pointed at the person who came and began to scold: "If I don't kill you today, I won't be surnamed Sun!" ”

"What did you say?"

Zhang Zhao's expression changed, if he really killed this person, then he really didn't have any room to toss.

Although it is indeed very pleasant, it is also very difficult.

The person who came was stunned at that time, and fell to his knees, his legs were weak, but he still held a breath of anger on his face: "If you dare to do such a thing!" Sooner or later, the house will be destroyed! ”

"Just take him over and cook him!"

Sun Ce shouted, and after the voice came, the scholars next to him trembled.

To be honest, everyone understands what Sun Ce did back then, killing the scholars in the territory is a human head.

So those people actually hate him very much, but they just can't do anything to him.

This messenger was literally cooked!

The bones floated down the water to Cao Jun's side, and at the same time carried the letter.

To be honest, everyone can understand what Sun Ce's thoughts are, and Cao Cao probably can't persuade him to surrender.

"What a disaster!"

Zhang Zhao is honestly one of the few scholars in Jiangdong today, and he was relatively fast in line back then, so he barely escaped.

Moreover, the Zhang family also has a lot of power in Jiangdong.

However, if Sun Ce was there, they would not be able to influence the movements of the Jiangdong regime.

Those princes are to the nobles what rats are to cats, with absolute power and control.

After Cao Cao found out about this situation, his expression changed, and he directly blew up all the food, and then angrily scolded Sun Ce.

"What a rat! Sun Ce, right? When I fought against his father, he was just a hairy boy! Do you dare to humiliate me now? What a bastard, bastard! ”

"Zhicai, arrange the affairs on the Jingzhou side, and then spend six months to build the warship, 300,000 sailors, 200,000 infantry, and 100,000 cavalry all send over!"

"I don't believe there are so many people together! Can't you take them down yet? ”

"Beyond that!"

"Inform the Shi clan over there in Jiangdong, if they are willing to surrender, they will definitely be benefited!"

"Yes!"

Xi Zhicai didn't think much about it, and walked straight down.

Cao Cao's idea is clearer and more purposeful, that is, he wants to use his fame and prestige to make their morale collapse first, and then force them to surrender, just like Xi Yu did at the beginning.

Once those warriors in Jiangdong collapse, the people will definitely come with them, and the situation will become more chaotic at that time, if Sun Ce continues to operate, the world will definitely become more depressed, and he will definitely be hung on the pillar of shame and spurned.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao chose to do this kind of thing, wanting to make Jiangdong's side suffer a greater crisis.

But really.

If Cao Cao continues to fight, he will actually face a big problem, and Xiliang's Ma Teng is still tossing over there, and he may "steal" at any time.

Moreover, since he went to Jingzhou, Cao Cao's troops lost much faster than he had thought, and those soldiers and horses in Jinzhou could not be gathered immediately and then put to use.

Because they didn't actually belong to the Cao family, even if they put in their efforts, they had to wait for a while before they could integrate into the Cao army.

So, they do have some trouble.

Xi Zhicai also thought a lot in his heart, but he didn't know how to do it.

But in fact, Cao Cao has now become the Duke of Wei, if there is no big credit, it will become very troublesome to want to be crowned king in the future!

And they won't do any good to take.

However, they have an advantage in numbers, and Cao Cao is one of the best well-known generals, and if he commands in person, he will definitely get some benefits, such as higher morale.

Cao Cao actually brought some veterans with small soldiers.

This situation can be described as a mixed formation, and it can also be used by some soldiers and generals in Jingzhou.

Cao Cao picked some people, such as Liu Pan, Wenpin Cai Zhong and Cai He!

These people are also a bit capable.

There was also a general named Xing Daorong, who was also recruited.

Xing Daorong's fame is very great, but there is nothing very attractive when he fights, it is not eye-catching, but he also has the strength of these handfuls and has quite powerful force, so Cao Cao made him a partial general, leading 10,000 soldiers first.

As for the others, they also received 30,000 soldiers each.

This method will definitely improve the combat effectiveness of the team, but to be honest, there are hidden dangers.

This has already deviated from Xi Yu's idea of making tiger and leopard riding and baggage camps.

These two teams are actually selected by the elite.

They are all the main forces on Cao Jun's side.

If you mix it, it can be problematic.

And it is indeed the case, within a month, Cao Cao and Liu Bei started a war in Jiangxia, and the soldiers on their side were also restrained.

When the infantry and cavalry fought each other, they suffered numerous casualties, and their cavalry would also be killed by the ambush shield array.

The number of casualties became very large, and the morale of the army fluctuated for a while.

After three days of fighting, Cao's army could not be harassed.

Zhang Liao, and even Li Dian, Cao Chun and others also acted as forwards.

Zhang Liao and Cao Hong actually suffered the most terrible losses, and the soldiers on their side were the more energetic ones, and they rushed to the front.

Hence the heavy losses.

They don't have any good way to solve the shield formation now, they can only walk as flat as possible.

However, in this way, Liu Bei's plan will be taken advantage of, and the soldiers and horses will be ambushed in the valley, so a set of things like a chain game will be formed.

And Zhang Feiyu Guan Yu was indeed a military general at that time, leading people to ambush and quickly rushing to kill, which was able to cause terrifying casualties in a very short time, and it didn't take long to eat all the nearly tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

To be honest, now that they have entered the stage of closing the net, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also considered to have left.

Zhang Liao, Cao Hong and others have to converge the remains of their compatriots, and they have to converge some weapons that can be used!

To be honest, their side has been very devastated, they have been attacked many times, and the people behind them have no way to rescue them.

But fortunately, there are no enemy troops in the rear, otherwise they will be outflanked by one left and right, what is the front and rear, then it will really be cold!

For example, there was a similar incident before, a cavalry and troops of about three or four hundred people were scattered, Zhang Fei took advantage of it, directly eliminated them all, and also captured a large number of baggage.

Cao Jun's baggage is much better than Zhang Fei's, and if they can study it carefully, they can also make technological breakthroughs and have a greater chance of victory!

It can be said that if they can really eliminate their own ordnance and replace it with new equipment in the future, they will have a chance to attack Xuchang!

As for before, one of Cao Hong's subordinates fought his way out of the encirclement, but he was covered in blood and was almost dead.

After he came to his senses, he found that Zhang Liao was about to withdraw, but Cao Chun was still fighting, Cao Hong was helping him, and the two sides were in full swing!

He was also very angry, his face was sad and painful, and he shouted in Qingzhou dialect: "If General Zhang doesn't treat us as comrades!" So why go to war again? Could it be that you are a lackey of the opera? Why did you choose to withdraw at this time? ”
