The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 257 Controversy in the World!Cao Jun, whose hearts are gradually falling apart!
But Cao Cao managed to trick him out of the account, and then ambushed him.

Directly let [-] soldiers and horses occupy that area, but what they got in exchange was nothing more than an empty city!

And Liu Bei knew that the weather was very dry recently, so he used a cruel trick.

He put kerosene on the city, and when Cao Jun came in, he shot it in with rockets, burning the whole city to ruins, and even Zhang Liao and other three generals were embarrassed by this and fled everywhere!

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

The army in the south is generally the so-called shield soldiers, and they all use that kind of heavy shield soldiers, unlike the cavalry, they can fight in the song, and they can also be used to prevent the cavalry from breaking the formation.

In this way, Cao Jun's marching speed became much slower!
The battle line has also been completely drawn out.

Cao Cao's side also became very headache.

This time the battle with Jingzhou was directly drawn 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 general attrition. Whoever has more generals will win.

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

And on this day.

Jia Xu walked into the government office with the battle report, and Xi Yu was waiting for news from Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia. After the deal was over, Relative and Qianzhuang would usher in more intense investment.

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

And that side is mainly the scourge of bandits.

Jia Xu looked worried, and said again: "Master! The battle report from the front line, they have been stalemate there for nearly a year!"

"Duke Cao has occupied Nanyang, and now, he is sending troops to Xiangyang!"

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

Xi Yu was at a loss: "Where did Liu Bei go?"

"This man is very cunning. He took more than [-] soldiers under his command to escort Liu Biao to Jiangxia! Now in Xiangyang, only some female relatives and young children of the Cai family are in charge. There is no suspense about the outcome of this battle!"

Jia Xu had a bitter look in his eyes, and then said: "My lord, you said earlier that Duke Cao would have problems in Chibi? There should be no reason for this sentence!"

"You don't have to draw conclusions so early."

Xi Yu laughed: "The battle is not over yet! Although there is a big problem in Jingzhou, there may still be various situations happening in our side!"

"Jiangxia is here, Jiangdong is here, and there are more than 20 troops!"

Xi Yu's expression was actually quite happy.

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

"On the Jiangdong side, the foundation can be maintained, but there is no way to expand the territory!"

Zhuge Liang took advantage of the situation and said: "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 navy!"

"However, Cao Cao can actually choose to go by land, but there are also various natural dangers and checkpoints. We may see that Cao Jun's side has suffered heavy losses!"

Xi Yu shook his head and said, "He didn't want to go by land. I can be sure that he will definitely choose to go by water!"

"Don't forget, how long did Liu Biao fight with Jiangdong? They also fought across the river! He still has a group of naval personnel under his command!"

Guo Jia's eyes were full of doubts: "Then why do you think Jiangdong can win?"

Xi Yu is not very sure.

But he felt that if Zhou Yu was there, nothing would go wrong.

This person is considered to be a person with a deep strategy, and he also has extraordinary force.

Regardless of the so-called romance novels, even in real history, Zhou Yu's performance on the Red Cliff is remarkable, and he can be regarded as invincible!
"How about we make a bet?"

The corners of Xi Yu's mouth curled up slightly.

Jia Xu also took several deep breaths: "Why are you so optimistic?"

"Let's make a bet! What are you going to take as a lottery?"

The three of them exchanged glances, rubbed their chins, and said:
"Of course it's possible, but we have to think about it, what to take as a prize!"

"But if Mr. Cao 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 Jiangdong has any chance of winning?"

"If Jiangdong can really win!"

"That was like a miracle!"

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

"The most indispensable thing in the world is a miracle!"

Xi Yu's tone became dull again: "Just, you have to be clear about one thing! Cao Cao is actually facing a lot of dangers! Their soldiers are also tired of fighting, maybe there will be problems!"

"To be honest, fighting for a long time is an opportunity, and I can't communicate with my family. If I encounter trouble, I will feel my heart collapse!"

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

"He can be regarded as the way to inherit the sky!"

"Furthermore, Liu Bei can be regarded as a member of the royal family. Liu Biao escaped with him, so it can be regarded as having a destiny!"

"And the people from Jiangdong are good at water battles, so it can be regarded as occupying the home court!"

"And Jiangsu also has great generals such as Tai Shici and Zhou Yu, as well as terrifying generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. This can be regarded as harmony!"

"So I can also conclude that Cao Cao will never win!"

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

Only someone like Xi Yu who criticizes from an objective position can think thoroughly.

If they are now in the same camp as Cao Cao, they probably have no way to make an accurate judgment.

It is impossible to see so accurately!

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

Xi Yu was able to understand this, in fact, he already had a deep understanding of the situation in the world.

Moreover, Cao Jun didn't think Zhou Yu was a good talent, and even thought Jiang Dong was just a bunch of idiots!
Don't take them seriously 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 troublesome!"

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

After a while, Guo Jia stood up and bowed to Xi Yu: "I finally understand why you are so sure! You are worthy of being our lord!"

"So at this stage we should ask the design institute to come up with the design drawings of the dock!"

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

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

Xi Yu nodded.

In fact, what Guo Jia said is very reasonable. Now their docks can only park some small merchant ships, and those large ships cannot enter at all.

"Just do as you said! Let's keep an eye on the situation on the man's side. We also need to strengthen our military drills. It's best not to let any accidents happen over there!"

"Ok!"

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

Although he is unparalleled in resourcefulness, he is actually a relatively calm and introverted person, and he doesn't like to chat with others when he is working.

Xi Yu was also happy to relax.

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 wanted to take a look again.

But Xi Yu knew that in history, Cao Cao encountered a big defeat on Chibi, and then returned to Xuchang only under the condition of guards desperately protecting him.

At that time, everyone in Xuchang knew that he had lost, and Ma Teng from Xiliang even asked someone to assassinate Cao Cao.

To be honest, Guan Yu will not let Cao Cao go this time, and Xi Yu is also very much looking forward to what will happen then.

This summer.

Jingzhou surrendered.

Except for Jiangxia, all lands belonged to Cao Cao.

The Cai family was conferred the title of wife, and the Cai family can be regarded as continuing to be a noble family and continue to rule the entire Jingzhou.

After Cao Cao entered Xiangyang, he stationed troops in the south, and at this time, he was relieved.

Although Liu Bei and Liu Biao were not caught, they were no longer threatening in Cao Cao's eyes, and they had no chance of escaping.

They also have only one place to escape.

That is Jiangdong.

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

The next day, Cao Cao not only rewarded the people according to their merits, but even presented a table to the emperor and performed an act of offering sacrifices to heaven.

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

Bang!
Somewhere in the Jiangdong government office, Sun Ce threw the slip on the ground, pointed at the person who came, and began to scold: "If I don't cook you today, my surname is not Sun!"

"What did you say?"

Zhang Zhao's expression changed. If he really killed this person, then he would really have no room for turning around.

Although it is indeed very satisfying, it is also very embarrassing.

The visitor was stunned at the time, kneeling down, his legs were weak, but his face was still full of anger: "If you dare to do such a thing! Sooner or later, you will destroy your family!"

"Take him directly and cook!"

Sun Ce shouted, and when the voice came, the scholars beside him trembled.

To be honest, everyone knows what Sun Ce did back then, killing the gentry in the territory would be a head roll.

So those people actually hated him very much, but they couldn't do anything to him.

This messenger was really cooked!
The bones floated along the water to Cao Jun's side, and they also carried the letter with them.

To be honest, everyone can understand what Sun Ce is thinking, and Cao Cao probably has no way to persuade him to surrender.

"What a disaster!"

To tell the truth, Zhang Zhao is one of the few gentry people in Jiangdong today, and he was relatively quick to stand in line back then, so he barely escaped the catastrophe.

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

But if Sun Ce is there, they can't influence the Jiangdong regime's movements.

Those princes have absolute power and control over the gentry, just like mice over cats.

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

"It's really a rat! Sun Ce, right? When I fought against his father, he was just a brat! Now he dares to humiliate me? What a bastard, bastard!"

"Zhicai, arrange the affairs in Jingzhou, and then spend six months to build the warship. 30 sailors, 20 infantry, and [-] cavalry are all sent there!"

"I don't believe so many people are here! Can't we take them down?"

"besides!"

"Notify the gentry on the Jiangdong side, if they are willing to surrender, it will definitely benefit them!"

"Yes!"

Xi Zhicai didn't think too much about it, and just walked on.

Cao Cao's idea was clearer and more purposeful. He wanted to use his fame and prestige to make their morale collapse first, and then force them to surrender, just like what Xi Yu had done back then.

Once the gentry in the Jiangdong territory collapse, the common people will definitely come along with them, and the situation will become more chaotic at that time. If Sun Ce continues to operate, he will definitely make the world even worse, and he will definitely be hung on the pillar of shame , was cast aside.

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

But seriously.

If Cao Cao continues to fight, he will actually face big problems. Ma Teng from Xiliang is still tossing around there, and may "steal his home" at any time.

Moreover, since going to Jingzhou, Cao Cao's troops have lost much faster than he thought before, and the soldiers and horses in Jinzhou can't be gathered immediately, and then come in handy.

Because they didn't actually belong to the Cao family, even if they worked hard, they would have to wait for a while before they could integrate into Cao's army.

So, they are indeed troublesome.

Xi Zhicai also had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't know what to do.

But in fact, Cao Cao has now become the Duke of Wei. If there is no great credit, it will become very troublesome to become king in the future!
And they won't do you any good.

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

Cao Cao actually brought some veterans and young soldiers with him.

Mixed compilation can be used to describe this situation, 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 can be regarded as somewhat capable.

Another general named Xing Daorong was also recruited.

Xing Daorong's reputation is very big, but there is nothing very attractive during the war, it is not eye-catching, but he also has the strength of these few, and has quite powerful force, so Cao Cao made him a side general, Lead ten thousand soldiers first.

As for the others, they each received [-] soldiers.

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

This has deviated from Xi Yu's idea of ​​creating tiger and leopard cavalry and the supply camp.

These two teams are actually selected by elites.

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

If mixed, there may be problems.

And it was indeed the case. Within a month, Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought in Jiangxia, and the soldiers on their side were all restrained.

When the infantry and cavalry fought, there were countless casualties, and their cavalry would also be trapped by the shield formation.

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 was overwhelmed.

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

In fact, Zhang Liao and Cao Hong suffered the most terrible losses. The soldiers on their side were more motivated and rushed to the front.

So the loss was heavy.

They also have no good way to solve the shield formation now, they can only walk as flat as possible.

But if this happens, Liu Bei will fall into Liu Bei's plan to ambush soldiers and horses in the valley, thus forming a set of serial games.

And Zhang Feiyu Guan Yu was indeed a general at that time. He led his people to ambush and rushed to kill quickly, which could cause terrible casualties in a very short period of time, and almost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were eaten in a short time.

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

Zhang Liao, Cao Hong and others went to collect the remains of their compatriots, and they had to collect some usable weapons!

To be honest, they are already very broken down here, they have been attacked many times, and the people behind can't rescue them.

But fortunately, there are no enemy troops in the rear. Otherwise, it would be really cool to be outflanked by the left and right.
For example, a similar incident happened once before. A cavalry force of about 400 people separated from the troops. Zhang Fei took advantage of it and directly dealt with them all, and seized a large amount of luggage.

Cao Jun's luggage is much better than Zhang Fei's. If they can study carefully, they can also achieve technological breakthroughs and have a greater chance of winning!
It can be said that if they can really eliminate their ordnance in the future and replace it with new equipment, they will have a chance to attack Xuchang!

As for before, one of Cao Hong's subordinates broke through the siege, but he was covered in blood, as if he was about to die.

After he woke up, 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 fighting like a raging fire!

He was also very angry, with sadness and pain on his face, and shouted in Qingzhou dialect: "If General Zhang doesn't treat us as comrades! Then why go to the battlefield again? Could it be that you are a lackey of an actor Why? Why did you choose to withdraw troops at this time?"
