Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 186 Jiangdong retreats!

The generals who had been extremely brave before had completely realized in this battle that they were completely defeated by Cao's army, both in terms of intelligence and military strength.

Now they seem to be waiting for only the fate of destruction.

Lu Su sighed, feeling equally desperate.

"Now the clans in Jiangdong are clamoring to see the lord in order to persuade him to surrender to Cao Cao, but we can't have any more accidents here."

Any accident may be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

"My lord is also under tremendous pressure now. If he continues to resist to the end, he may still be completely defeated. But if he surrenders, he may be able to save his life."

"Whether we resist or surrender, it all depends on us, but in the end it still depends on us. If we give up completely, then there will really be no hope for Jiangdong!"

Gan Ning suddenly asked in surprise: "Sir, are you saying that we still have a chance?"

Lu Su nodded heavily: "Of course, our Jiangdong has a profound foundation. It is entirely possible to train another navy. The competition now is time."

"Cao Cao knew that if he entered Jiangdong, he would face a very difficult situation, so they did not attack, and this just gave us time."

Listening to Lu Su's analysis, the generals who had experienced a major defeat regained some confidence, but in the end they still lacked confidence and did not say anything about counterattacking Cao Cao.

"Sir, what should we do next? No matter what, I am not willing to surrender!" Gan Ning said fiercely.

When he thought about the battle in Chibi, his injuries ached.

Lu Su sighed and said slowly: "I think the most important thing for us now is to preserve our strength, so I decided to move the camp to the rear and shrink the front."

"At the same time, we must also send a message to the rear, asking them to continue recruiting soldiers. Only then can we have a chance of survival."

Everyone nodded and immediately went down to prepare.

……

Soon, the news that Jiangdong Water Village moved its camp to the rear reached Cao Cao's camp, which was equivalent to completely giving the land on the river to Cao Cao.

Not long after the rumors spread, such a result was obtained, which made Cao Cao very happy.

"Everyone, Jiangdong is clearly afraid of us when he moves his camp to the rear. What should we do next?"

Cao Ren stood up excitedly and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, of course I accept it unceremoniously. We should take the opportunity to send troops to advance and occupy the land east of Jiangdong!"

"If we don't accept what was given to us for free, wouldn't we be betraying Jiangdong's good intentions?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they all knew that Jiang Dong was showing weakness.

But sometimes showing weakness is not a good thing, but is brewing a bigger counterattack.

However, in the current situation, all the generals agreed to make progress and directly occupy the place Jiangdong gave up.

"Prime Minister, I also agree with the generals. This way our army is in Jiangdong and can put more pressure on Jiangdong. Maybe Sun Quan can't bear it anymore and will surrender to us."

Cao Cao did not decide easily, but looked at Ye Fan.

"Sir, what do you think?"

Ye Fan shook his head: "I don't think it's appropriate."

"Jiangdong is showing weakness because he is afraid that our sudden attack will mean that they really don't have the courage to fight anymore. The more this happens, the more I feel that we can ignore them and just take it step by step."

"The key for us now is Xiliang Ma Chao. It's not like Jiangdong has experienced a big defeat, but he has high morale."

"It is our biggest threat!"

……

Xiliang.

In the tent. Ma Chao is sitting at the top, while the first person on the left below is General Pound, and the one on the right is Ma Dai.

Next came Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others, all of whom were members of Ma Teng's lineage.

"Han Sui is certainly hateful, but Cao Cao is not a good person either. He is currently finishing the battle with Jiangdong, so his strength must be empty, and his rear defense line is even more useless."

"If we take the opportunity to attack Cao Cao's rear and capture the city, it will increase our power!"

Ma Chao looked at everyone with excitement.

Pang De sighed and said slowly: "General, Cao Cao cannot be easily provoked. This man is very powerful. If you provoke him, you will get burned. You need to make complete preparations."

Ma Chao snorted coldly: "This general has a hundred thousand cavalry, but he is afraid that Cao Cao will not succeed?!"

"Report!"

Outside Ma Chao's tent, a soldier suddenly shouted.

"what's up?"

Ma Dai stood up and asked.

"General, there is a man named Zhuge Liang outside who wants to see General Ma Chao."

The eyes of Pang De and others immediately fell on Ma Chao.

"Huh? Zhuge Liang? He dares to come alone, how courageous he is!" Ma Chao snorted coldly, with murderous intent shining in his eyes.

Pound frowned, stood up and said, "General, Zhuge Liang came suddenly. I'm afraid he has other motives. This man is eloquent and eloquent. Maybe he came to form an alliance."

"Alliance? Who are Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei?" Ma Chao sneered, "Besides, Sun and Liu once formed an alliance, and my father was killed by Jiang Dong's design. Liu Bei is also my enemy!"

"It's a pity that Liu Bei didn't come today, otherwise I would have avenged my father! But by killing Zhuge Liang, I can recover some interest."

Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie suddenly said with indignation: "The general is right, we should kill them for revenge!"

Although the Xiliang Ma family is brave, they are not good at strategy. Especially Ma Chao, he acts based on his own will and does whatever comes to his mind, regardless of the consequences.

"Ma Dai, go find a hundred axemen and ambush him in the tent. When I give the order, you will chop off Zhuge Liang's head!" Ma Chao ordered.

Ma Dai immediately held up his hands: "Yes!"

Soon, a hundred swordsmen and axemen were lying in ambush in the big tent, waiting for Ma Chao to give the order before they would come out in full force.

"Tell Zhuge Liang to come see me!"

Soon, Zhuge Liang came to the camp. Although he was alone in the enemy camp and saw the swordsmen and axemen on both sides, he did not panic at all, but looked calm.

"Liang, I have met the general."

He bowed slightly and held his hands.

Ma Chao smiled coldly: "Zhuge Liang, why did you come today?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "I came here today to help the general solve his problems!"

When Ma Chao heard this, he burst out laughing: "Zhuge Pifu, please stop here and confuse the people with your lies. I have a hundred thousand elite soldiers under my command, and we are running across Xiliang. What's the problem?"

"The general is already in danger," Zhuge Liang sighed and shook his head with a pity look, "If the general doesn't listen, a disaster will happen soon!"

Ma Dai stood aside and suddenly stared: "Zhuge Liang, if you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful of your head!"
