371.Chapter 371 Sun Quan withdrew his troops back to Jiangdong


"Lord, the enemy army is guarded by the two generals Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, and there are many crossbowmen at the back end of the bridge in ambush, and it is difficult for our soldiers to break through for a while, and the losses are too heavy."

Seeing that the casualties of the army had been increasing, and the army had not been able to advance half a step, Le Jin, the general in charge of commanding the forward battle, couldn't help but report to Cao Cao."

Whew" Cao Cao couldn't help but take a deep breath, even if Le Jin didn't come to report, Cao Cao saw the battle situation in front of him clearly.Cao Cao couldn't help but recall the scene when he met Zhao Yu for the first time, the stunned young boy who was not afraid of the ground that day, and his debut alone took on Dong Zhuo's fierce generals Li Dao and Hua Xiong, and then joined forces with himself in various battles that were beautiful.Cao Cao was bent on recruiting Zhao Yu, even if it was at the cost of thousands of taels and several cities, Cao Cao was willing, but he knew that Zhao Yu was not in this shallow pool, and even more gold and silver could not trap this dragon and tiger.But what Cao Cao didn't expect was that this Zhao Yu was not only brave, but even the generals under his command were all brave and fierce generals, and the soldiers and horses under his command could also be described as victorious soldiers.There are not many people who Cao Cao admires in his heart in this life, there are only a handful of people with a long history, and there is no one who is alive, and he Zhao Yu is the only one who makes an exception.Cao Cao knew in his heart that if he failed to solve the tiger of Zhao Yu this time, then the tiger would become even more terrifying in the future."

Lord, look at what it is" Just as Cao Cao was pondering, a panic suddenly broke out in the crowd, and Cao Cao and the others hurriedly followed the prestige.I saw that at the head of the bridge, far behind the bridge, ghosts floated one after another, and the flags hanging on each ghost surprised everyone."

It's the enemy's warship, how can there be so many" As a sound of horror sounded, more and more voices of discussion and panic responded, and even some sergeants had already retreated from this battle in their hearts.In fact, it's no wonder that they are so unanimous, the three armies are united, and when they set up a secret from the world, all kinds of insidious and cunning strategies are carried out simultaneously, but they still let the king of Zhao escape from under his nose.Now the three armies have a total of one million troops, but they are blocked by a wooden bridge, and when they see that they cannot be attacked for a long time and are in a stalemate, a large number of enemy warships suddenly appeared, although it is not clear how many soldiers and horses the enemy ships are loaded, but judging from the flag of this warship, there are a hundred and ten ships.A small number of each large ship can carry about 300 people, and 100 ships are 30,000 people."

Hmph, a hundred warships are only 30,000 people, and even if a hundred ships are coming, there are only 60,000 people, and just by virtue of this, people want to fight against my army, it's really a fool's dream."

After seeing clearly that it was really an enemy warship coming from the opposite side, individual generals couldn't help but let out a hint of ridicule, and Xiahoudun said even more uncontrollably, after finishing speaking, the rest of the generals laughed one after another, but some of them couldn't laugh.I saw that Sima Yi couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that these warships are not here to support, but to attack the land of Jiangdong, a good Guo Fengxiao, a good time to encircle Wei to save Zhao." ”"I heard that Guo Fengxiao has the wisdom of ghosts, Zhong Da has never believed it, and Zhong Da can be regarded as a leader in today's confrontation.I didn't expect that King Zhao had such a god by his side, and if he wanted to defeat Zhao Yu, he had to solve this Guo Fengxiao first. ”Sima Yi sighed again.Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but say: "Why do the military divisions raise the morale of others to destroy their own prestige of the enemy's more than 100 warships, it does not have much impact on our million-strong army, head-to-head, our army only needs to send 50,000 elite divisions to annihilate them all." ”"The general's courage Zhongda naturally knows, but this time, I'm afraid that this Guo Fengxiao suddenly recruited more than 100 ships on the battlefield not to support this battlefield."

Sima Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly."

What, this Zhao Yu is too arrogant, with an unknown number of people, he dares to fight against my million army, and now a hundred and ten warships have finally come, not to support, is it to come to hang" Yu Ban on the side couldn't help but ask."

These tens of thousands of people joining this battlefield can't have any absolute impact, but it can split a lot of our army's strength and morale, such as these Jiangdong soldiers and horses, as long as the Jiangdong people withdraw, Uncle Liu's men and horses will also go."

Looking at the puzzled looks of the generals, Xun Yu on the side couldn't help but explain."

Hmph, what are those people in Jiangdong, even if you add a Liu Bei, it is less than one-fifth of our army's strength, without them to follow, the credit will be all ours, isn't it comfortable."

Xu Huang is full of non-cutting roads."

Gong Jin, this enemy army suddenly came with more than a hundred warships, don't you want to attack my Jiangdong" Just when the generals of the Cao army were discussing, the people in Jiangdong also noticed the uninvited guest, and Sun Quan was even more anxious.Zhou Yu sighed lightly: "The words of the lord are exactly what Gong Jin is worried about, according to Gong Jin, the more than 100 warships that suddenly appeared in King Zhao are probably intended to be for us, as long as we don't retreat, these more than 100 warships will sail directly to the hinterland of my Jiangdong."

According to Gong Jin's point of view, it is the best policy to quickly withdraw from the main battlefield and return to Jiangdong to defend the side at this moment, otherwise we really can't afford to gamble on this risk, our army sent a large force of the main force this time, and the remaining soldiers and horses could not fight against King Zhao's elite generals, so it was still "Okay, just listen to Gong Jin, and order the whole army to prepare to retreat." ”After listening to Zhou Yu's analysis, Sun Quan also knew how powerful it was, and handed over the retreat of the army to Huang Gai and others, while he led Zhou Yu and Zhou Tai to say goodbye to Cao Cao and Liu Bei.Coming to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Sun Quan bowed with both hands and said: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng, Uncle Liu Huang, Zhongmou led the children of Jiangdong to accompany the two to encircle and suppress King Zhao so far, it is really his best, and now that King Zhao uses the Yin soldiers to threaten my Jiangdong foundation, I can't join hands with the two to capture the tiger, and I leave." ”Knowing that these warships would threaten Jiangdong, Cao Cao didn't hold back too much, and smiled at him slightly: "Jiangdong you can lead the elite people to come to join us and others this time, and it is really hard for you."

I won't leave you here, after the end of this war, Cao will definitely report to the Son of Heaven to ask for merit for you in Jiangdong, and I won't send it this time. ”In this main battlefield, the evacuation of Jiangdong people did not play a big role, but it did give the Zhao army a little breather, especially Guo Jia, who was the military advisor of the Zhao army.In fact, for Guo Jia, the more than 100 warships arranged this time are actually a joint strategy between himself and Lu Xun, and the real purpose of the warships is not to support, and of course it is not really to invade Jiangdong.The reason is that these warships do have nearly 100 flags on the surface, and each warship is planted with multiple flags, which are used to confuse the enemy army, just to let the people and horses of Jiangdong evacuate, and each warship is only a few people, which is used to load the soldiers who have fought against the enemy in Jingzhou to evacuate.In addition, the arrival of these warships also gave a boost to all the soldiers fighting on the front line, and the morale of the soldiers in the front line rose sharply when the rear base was stabilized, and these warships also gave everyone hope for life.However, there is one thing that Guo Jia did not expect, after Guo Jia's strategy of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao caused Sun Quan's men to retreat, it also made Zhuge Liang and others in Liu Bei's camp nervous.Previously, it was because of the addition of Jiangdong Sun Quan's soldiers and horses that Zhuge Liang dared to let Liu Bei unite with him, and somewhat increase some bargaining chips with Cao Cao.But now Sun Quan's men and horses have withdrawn together, and only he and Cao Cao have gathered here to fight with King Zhao, which is equivalent to accompanying a tiger to hunt Zhao Yu's wolf, once this wolf is not hunted, then this tiger will eat itself at any time.And even if Cao Cao hunted Zhao Yu's wolf, it was very likely that he would solve his own side together to get rid of the troubles, and all kinds of uneasy thoughts germinated in the hearts of Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu.Even Liu Bei, an old fox, couldn't help but be a little vigilant, but it was difficult to ride a tiger right now, and there was no excuse to get out of it.As soon as Sun Quan's soldiers and horses had finished retreating, Zhuge Liang stared at the river and suddenly said to Liu Bei who was facing Cao Cao on the side: "My lord, now that the morale of the enemy army is like a rainbow, and the Jiangdong people and horses have also withdrawn from the main battlefield, it is probably impossible to destroy the enemy in a short time."

We can only make a surprise attack, according to the outpost, there will be a river diversion dozens of miles south along the river bank, where the river water is relatively shallow, we can let the prime minister lead a heavy army here to continue to attract Zhao Yu's soldiers and horses.Our army is responsible for going to the shallow water of the river and making a detour to the enemy's belly to carry out a sneak attack, forming a flanking attack to besiege the enemy. ”Although Liu Bei didn't know whether what Zhuge Liang said was true or false, he had already retreated in his heart when Sun Quan left, following Cao Cao, surrounded by his people, and he was already very timid in his heart, but he didn't know what to do.Now that the military advisor under his command suddenly came up with such a strategy, Liu Bei was of course overjoyed, but this joy could only be hidden in his heart.I saw Liu Bei hurriedly nodding at Cao Cao on the side and said: "What our military division said is not unreasonable, this time seeing that this Zhao army is in full swing, if the stalemate continues, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary casualties to our two armies."

Xuande has Prime Minister Lao Cao here to attract the main force of the enemy, and let Xuande go around to the enemy's side to carry out a surprise attack, let you and I capture this tiger here, I don't know what the prime minister wants" Cao Cao nodded slightly and said: "That's fine, I never thought that Zhao Yu's tiger is not only cunning but also so difficult to deal with, and the soldiers and horses are so difficult, even if we wave millions of troops, the other party just relies on this wooden bridge to block the way of you and me."

I'll leave it to me here, and I hope that Xuande will hurry forward and kill him from the side by surprise, and when the time comes, I will personally wave my army to launch a fierce attack, and you and I will form a fire tongs and severely damage the enemy's soldiers and horses. ”:
