Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 396 Cao Zhen, a Steady Head Coach
Cao Zhen originally subconsciously wanted to go into battle, and he never expected that Xing Daorong only had a small number of soldiers and horses.

It was not until he met Yu Jin that he realized that he had rushed into the battle without actually getting the information.

This is not what the coach did!

Cao Zhen was shocked and felt that he was indeed frightened by Xing Daorong.

However, Cao Zhen didn't have the nerve to tell outsiders about this kind of thing!

My head suddenly went blank, but I knew I couldn't reveal a word!
His expression changed, and he said sternly, "How could Xing Daorong call a small army to challenge us directly? There must be a trick here, we must not send troops!"

Yu Jin sneered and said, "The Marshal is afraid. If the Marshal doesn't go, then I will go and find out the truth."

Naturally, Cao Zhen couldn't let Yu Jin go.

If Yu Jin really wants to go, wouldn't that be admitting that he is really afraid of Xing Daorong!

Thinking of this, Cao Zhen shouted sternly: "General Yu! Are you going to disobey military orders?"

Yu Jin saw that Cao Zhen did not seem to intend to send troops.

But he smiled and said, "So. If you miss the opportunity, don't blame me for not giving you advice."

Cao Zhen said: "I will naturally send scouts to find out the news, so you don't have to worry about it."

Although one of them has a blank expression while the other has a smiling face, in the final analysis, they are both focusing on a secret confrontation.

The others who heard this all shook their heads secretly.

The generals and commanders are not in harmony, which is a rare situation in Cao's army. If this is put on the table, how can the war be fought?

Everyone was worried and felt there was no hope.

For a moment, the atmosphere in Cao's camp became solemn.

The scouts sent by Cao Zhen soon brought back news that Xing Daorong brought very few troops this time!

Inside the big tent, Zhang He and Xu Huang who heard the noise also rushed over. Seeing that Cao Zhen and Yu Jin could not see each other and were silent, they could only shake their heads and did not try to persuade them any more.

Hearing the scout's report, Yu Jin burst into laughter again.

"It's rare that Xing Daorong is so confident, why not go?"

"It's good now. If we miss this opportunity, Xing Daorong might react and see the scouts and really ambush the troops!"

Good guy!
Yu Jin's words really left Cao Zhen no room for maneuver.

At this moment, it is not right to send troops, and it is not right not to send troops. No matter how you look at it, Yu Jin is right.

When Cao Zhen heard this, he cursed in his heart and called Yu Jin a piece of shit.

But he could not tear his face apart, so he just held back his anger and asked the scout with gritted teeth, "Can you see clearly? Does Xing Daorong really have no other soldiers around him?"

The soldier said, "I can see clearly around me. There are no soldiers or horses. But there seems to be dust rising in the distance. However, I dare not get too close to the Xing army, so I can't see it clearly!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Cao Zhen became excited!
But he cried out: "It seems that Xing Daorong really has an ambush behind him, intending to lure us out and then kill us halfway!"

"Fortunately, I was calm and composed, so I didn't rush to send out troops!"

This time, it was Yu Jin's turn to look grim.

But it sounded as if Xing Daorong really was trying to lure him out of the camp. Knowing he was in the wrong, he couldn't say anything.

Seeing that Yu Jin did not dare to speak, Cao Zhen felt that he had won and decided not to go into battle anymore.

But he said: "Now that we know that it was Xing Daorong who plotted this, we naturally cannot leave the city at will!"

"Even if we ask Xing Daorong to challenge us outside, we won't come out!"

Everyone heard Cao Zhen's plan and thought it was a good one. After all, it would not be wrong to defend the camp. As for how to deal with the Jiangdong army, they would find a chance later.

Xing Daorong saw that the gates of Cao's army were tightly closed, and he knew that Cao really intended to be a stable commander!

If the purpose of this attack is to break through Cao's camp, then Cao Zhen is so steady that it would be difficult to deal with him.

Just this
It’s not about attacking Cao’s camp first!

Seeing that Cao Zhen stayed indoors and did not come out, Xing Daorong became even more arrogant.

He even went as far as two or three miles away from the gate of Cao's camp, and kept calling the soldiers to the front of the camp and shouting and cursing.

But Cao Zhen was really able to endure it and did not move at all!
After four or five days, Xing Daorong went to the gate of Cao's camp every day, but no Cao's army came to fight, which was exactly as he expected!
And if that’s the case... then the whole plan has been accomplished!

Now it depends on whether Sun Quan can be the brave one!

...

Compared with Cao Zhen's "cowardly" behavior, Sun Quan was preparing for a final fight.

He knew very well that this was his last chance...

At this moment, on the top of the Hefei city wall, Sun Quan gathered Lu Fan, He Qi, and Xu Sheng together, while Cao Zhi stood beside them, watching with some cold eyes.

He had already discovered that Sun Quan's attitude towards him was extremely cold.

If Cao's army had not been so focused on attacking the city, Sun Quan would have handed himself over.

Cao Zhi could feel...

With this feeling, Cao Zhi was naturally indifferent to Sun Quan's affairs and watched coldly from the sidelines.

Sun Quan didn't care about Cao Zhi. He only treated Cao Zhi as a chess piece in his hand, and a chess piece that seemed to be useless at the moment.

No wonder.

After entering Hefei, Cao Zhi not only failed to help, but also caused trouble because of his identity. It was strange that Sun Quan could have any good face towards him.

At the moment, he just said to everyone: "We can't stay in Hefei for long. Xing Daorong and Cao's army are fighting to the death. I want to find an opportunity to sneak attack Xing Daorong's camp, seize his troops, and return to Jiangdong!"

Like Sun Quan, Lu Fan and others now have no way to retreat.

Although Sun Quan was actually driven out of Jiangdong by the people of Jiangdong and was not tolerated by the Jiangdong aristocratic families, it would naturally be best if he could return to Jiangdong.

Besides, Hefei is a place that we cannot defend for long. We had no other way to withdraw to Jiangdong, so we came here.

Now that there is a glimmer of hope, we must naturally give it a try.

Seeing everyone nodding, Sun Quan said, "Lu Xun has been leading his troops outside the city to suppress this side. I think Xing Daorong wants to fight Cao Zhen to the death before attacking Hefei."

"We have already tried the battle of Hefei. No matter whether Cao Zhen or Xing Daorong can win, we cannot defend Hefei if they attack it."

"Now we can only take advantage of the opportunity to attack them when they send out their troops!"

Lü Fan was a little worried and said, "I'm afraid that although Lu Xun is away, I don't know how many soldiers he has brought with him. We should send scouts to check."

Sun Quan heard this, but shook his head and said, "No way!"

"If we go as scouts and are seen by Lu Xun, he will naturally know that we are trying to break out."

"If Lu Xun is prepared, he will not be able to break through!"

"I guess that Xing Daorong's army is now dealing with Cao Zhen, so they must have left a small number of soldiers here to observe our movements."

As he spoke, Sun Quan hammered the city wall and said, "Now is the time to fight to the death! Everyone, put aside all your thoughts and break through with me!"
