Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 113 Zhou Yu was furious and said: Beat me hard!

"I didn't explain it before because I wanted to wait for news from Jingzhou. Now you know why I didn't send troops to attack, right?"

"Compared to Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, Jingzhou is definitely more important to our army. If we can recapture Jingzhou, how much more can Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu use, no matter how powerful they are?"

Everyone nodded and agreed with Cao Cao's words.

Although Zhuge Liang was powerful, after following Liu Bei, he was restricted by soldiers, horses, cities, etc., and could not display his talents.

Zhou Yu was also very powerful, but he only occupied the land east of Jiangdong and did not dare to easily compete with Cao's army.

Therefore, in Cao Cao's eyes, Jingzhou is much more important than Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and others.

Jia Xu stood up quickly and said respectfully: "The Prime Minister is far-sighted and far-sighted, which is beyond our reach. We were superficial before."

Cao Cao smiled and felt very comfortable.

"Haha, it's not that I'm great, but that great sage I mentioned is great. All the strategies were proposed by him. It's really eye-opening for me. This is the first time I've seen someone who can manipulate the enemy. A counselor in the palm of your hand!"

This time, both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were used as pawns.

Jia Xu also smiled and continued: "If Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu knew the whole story, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood. Zhou Yu had hidden diseases in his body before, maybe this time he would be really angry to death! "

Cao Cao also laughed and nodded: "Yes, if Zhou Yu can kill Zhuge Liang, it will be the best of both worlds!"

Xun You slowly calmed down the shock in his heart, walked out and raised his hands and said: "Prime Minister, now that Jingzhou's defense is empty, it is the time for us to send troops. This time we will definitely win in one battle and take back Jingzhou!"

Cheng Yu sighed and thought to himself: "Fortunately, such a powerful counselor is one of ours. If he were in the enemy camp, it would be a disaster."

He straightened his expression and stood up as well.

"Prime Minister, Jingzhou is at your fingertips. As long as Jiangxia tightens its defense, it will be safe. There is no need to delay in retaking Jingzhou. We need to send troops as soon as possible."

Chen Qun and others also spoke one after another. In addition to flattering Cao Cao, they also believed that they should send troops as soon as possible to capture Jingzhou.

Cao Cao nodded slowly, with a confident smile on his face.

"You are right. Jingzhou's defense is now empty. It is time to send troops to capture Jingzhou as soon as possible."

His eyes glanced back and forth among the generals.

The generals all seemed very excited. After all, this battle was very important, and victory was almost within sight.

"Prime Minister, let me go to conquer Jingzhou. I am willing to issue a military order. I will not turn back until Jingzhou is captured!"

Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Cao eagerly and spoke firmly.

Xia Houyuan also hurried forward to ask for a fight: "Prime Minister, I'd better go!"

The other generals also refused to fall behind and stood up one after another.

Seeing so many powerful generals under his command, Cao Cao was also very happy.

He smiled and said: "We don't need so many people to conquer Jingzhou. Let's leave this battle to Cao Hong."

"Cao Hong obeys the order!"

Cao Hong stood up immediately when his name was called, knelt on one knee on the ground, straightened his back, and said with an excited look: "I obey my orders!"

"I will give you 50,000 troops to take back Jingzhou!" Cao Cao said seriously.

"As ordered!"

Cao Hong received the military order and immediately stood up and left the tent. There was thick fog on the river surface. Although it was already past early morning, it was still thick and thick, and the river surface was still a mess.

Cheng Pu led the army to come to the rescue. From a distance, he heard the sound of war drums and the sound of arrows piercing the sky from the river.

"The battle is so fierce," Cheng Pu frowned, "Grand Governor, don't panic, Cheng Pu is here!"

In an instant, Cheng Pu led his army and charged directly towards them.

"Kill!"

Huge shouts of killing rang out, tens of thousands of people waving flags and shouting. For a moment, the sound even drowned out the rumbling drums, and the momentum surged in like an overwhelming force.

Zhou Yu, who was furious, was startled when he heard the sound.

"If Cao Cao's army is really attacking, who else can have such strength besides them?"

He turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from, his expression completely gloomy.

Before, Zhou Yu and others only heard the sound of war drums and arrows fired from the direction of Jiangxia, but now this sound clearly came from their side.

"Hmph, no wonder no one has attacked us for so long. It turns out that they used a roundabout way to get around us. It's just too much!"

Zhou Yu's chest rose and fell with anger, and his face turned the color of pig liver.

Huang Gai trotted over quickly, his face full of nervousness: "Grand Governor, you might as well retreat first. General Gan Ning has already gone to mobilize reinforcements. I believe they will arrive soon!"

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment and malice.

"Hmph, Zhuge Liang colluded with Cao Cao to defeat us in one battle and make us unable to resist their invasion of Jiangdong." A firm look suddenly flashed in his eyes: "In this case, I can't retreat even more! "

"They used Zhuge Liang as bait to lure me into an ambush. How about I serve as this bait? As long as we hold on until Gan Ning leads the army to rescue, we can launch a counterattack."

"By then, our army will definitely win a great victory, and maybe we can capture Jiangxia in one fell swoop!"

As the governor of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu was naturally unwilling to admit defeat. After discovering that he had been ambushed, he sent Gan Ning to mobilize reinforcements and prepare for a counterattack.

So he planned to fight to the death to buy time for Gan Ning.

"Send the order, don't worry about losses, just shoot arrows at Cao Jun and wait for the counterattack!"

With an order, tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers immediately bent their bows and arrows, and fired arrows fiercely in the direction where the shouts of killing came. Suddenly, a wave of arrows shot into the thick fog like a dark cloud.

Cheng Pu was leading his army forward. When he saw the arrow rain coming, the arrows had already reached their heads.

The soldiers hurriedly dodged, but many soldiers were still shot out of their bodies, and a series of screams were heard for a while.

"Hmph, it is indeed Cao Jun. Soldiers, shoot your arrows!"

Cheng Pu roared angrily and immediately launched a counterattack, shooting countless arrows.

Water battles are no better than those on land. Arrows are usually used to clear the way. When the arrows are almost used up, they will engage in hand-to-hand combat. The two sides have not seen each other yet, so they just use arrows to greet each other.

Rounds of arrows rained down, and the two sides fought fiercely. From time to time, someone would be hit by an arrow and fall down.

Cheng Pu came to the rescue with a full force of 30,000 men, which was more than half of Jingzhou's army, while Zhou Yu only brought 10,000 men with him, and his arrows were not very sufficient.

Moreover, Zhou Yu had previously fired arrows at Zhuge Liang and Cao Jun, but the number of arrows gradually became exhausted, and they quickly fell into a disadvantage.
