The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the tears of heroes Cao Cao's face was pale, looking at the scene in front of him, his hand was deeply pinched on the wooden guardrail.
The so-called defeat is like a mountain, the moment Zhou Yu's plan succeeded, the morale of Cao Jun's army fell into a trough, and those who have no morale, don't expect them to be able to fight back, it is a good thing to be able to escape with a life.
A hundred warships poured in from the upstream, three in and three out of the Cao army warship group, the frightened Cao Jun did not want to entangle with the Jiangdong warship at all, in Zhou Tai's wild laughter and roar, countless Cao warships became a pile of useless wood, and the people on the warship either died on the spot or fell into the Yangtze River.
The Yangtze River is rolling, most of these Shandong men can't swim, fall into the Yangtze River, and end up being drowned, even if there are a few soldiers who can swim, they are also made up by the Jiangdong warships that caught up later, and the dead can't die.
Under the fugitive pursuit, Cao's army suffered heavy losses again.
Cao Cao sighed in his heart, knowing that the current Cao army, if it was not reorganized and rectified, it would be impossible for him to have the strength to fight again, so even if Cao Cao was no longer reconciled, he still waved his hand at Xun You and signaled the whole army to retreat.
If you don't withdraw now, won't you let your soldiers die in vain?
Cao Cao wanted the army to retreat, but Cheng Yu stepped forward.
"The lord must not retreat at this time."
Never retreat Cao Cao's face was full of gloom, but because he still had hole cards in his hand, and now he lost tens of thousands of people, he actually didn't hurt himself, so most of this gloom was frustrated, and it was not to the point of despair, so when he heard Cheng Yu say that he couldn't retreat, Cao Cao had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Could it be that the current situation of such erosion can be cleaned up?
So Cao Cao immediately asked Cheng Yu: "Could it be that Zhongde has a plan in his heart and can save the current situation."
Cheng Yu sighed, but shook his head.
A look of disappointment flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, but soon, this trace of disappointment also disappeared in Cao Cao's eyes, Cao Cao sorted out his thoughts and asked Cheng Yu: "Then why don't you withdraw, if you go on like this, won't our army still have to lose a large number of soldiers in vain, isn't this a senseless loss?"
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "If we continue to fight, our army will indeed continue to suffer losses, but if our army withdraws, although we can reduce some losses, it will not be too easy for Gongzi to attack Wulin from Xiakou, and what he is facing in front of him will be the main force of Jiangdong, and it will be Zhou Yu's personal command." ” "If I don't wait, I can at least contain Zhou Yu's 40,000 or 50,000 troops, without these 40,000 or 50,000 troops, Gongzi will face half of the main force in Jiangdong, with Gongzi's intelligence and the soldiers in his hands, the chance of victory will be greater."
After Cao Cao listened to Cheng Yu's words, he fell into silence, he looked at the tragic picture on the river, the boundless sea of fire, dyed the entire sky into blood red, and countless Cao soldiers were wailing.
The souls of countless Cao soldiers are howling unyieldingly.
On the battlefield of the Yangtze River near the shore, a hundred Jiangdong warships chased the Cao army warships twice their size, and from time to time they bit a few bites of meat on the Cao army's warship group, but the Cao army only cared about escaping, and there was no decent counterattack at all, and the losses were slowly expanding.
Retreating may reduce the losses of the soldiers on the river, but Cao Chong has no own strategy, and in the face of Zhou Yu's ghost scheme, the pressure will definitely become more than ten times greater.
If he does not retreat, his remaining forty or fifty thousand soldiers will also be exhausted, and at that time, there will only be some auxiliary troops left in Cao's army on Wulin's side.
Some auxiliary armies do not have much combat effectiveness.
Cao Cao's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what to choose for a while.
Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao's hesitant expression and knew that it was time for him to add another fire.
"Lord, if you pay an extra 10,000 people for a loss, you can wipe out Zhou Yu and the main force of Jiangdong in Wulin, so why not do it Once the Seventh Prince is defeated, the loss will be not only 10,000 or 20,000, but 70,000 or 80,000, plus the current good situation." call Cao Cao exhaled fiercely, and just wanted to make a decision, but Jia Xu behind him began to speak.
"Lord, Jia Xu feels that at this time, we must retreat, and our army can no longer have losses."
It is necessary to retreat There can be no more losses Cao Cao was stunned, he had already asked the army not to retreat, but he didn't expect Jia Xu to say that he would not retreat This Jia Xu should have his own thoughts, Cao Cao pondered for a while, waved his hand at Jia Xu, and asked: "Tell me why you want to withdraw at this time, didn't you hear what Zhong De said?"
Jia Xu's eyes flickered, he glanced at Cheng Yu deeply, and then said to Cao Cao: "Cheng Junshi's words are not unreasonable, but is the lord too worried about the seventh prince The seventh prince can defeat the Jiangdong army in Xiakou, which proves that the talent of the prince is not bad, even in the face of all the main forces of Jiangdong, I am afraid that it will not be much inferior, and if the number of soldiers in the lord's hands is small, are you not afraid of Liu Bei's ambush" Liu Bei Cao Cao's eyes are deep, although Liu Bei is now a lost dog, but it is still a big trouble in Cao Cao's mind, when he started a war with Jiangdong, Liu Bei has not shown his head, which is also the reason why Cao Cao's shot is not particularly decisive, so Cao Cao left 10,000 people by his side, just to guard against Liu Bei.
Now that Cao Cao heard Jia Xu's words, the vigilance in his heart rose again.
"Liu Bei is a dog who lost his family at this time, even if he comes, why am I afraid that I have countless strong soldiers and thousands of generals" Although Cao Cao was jealous of Liu Bei in his heart, his face did not show a little jealousy of Liu Bei, but there was disdain for Liu Bei in his words.
Jia Xu knew Cao Cao, and naturally knew that Cao Cao's current expression was just to cover up the external strength in his heart.
If Cao Cao was not afraid of Liu Bei, he would not say a word at this time, let alone deliberately belittle Liu Bei.
In Cao Cao's heart, Liu Bei is an enemy that cannot be ignored, no matter when, in fact, Cao Cao's intuition is very accurate, whenever the world is disappointed in Liu Bei, Liu Bei is always able to turn danger into a disaster, and after experiencing setbacks, he develops better and better every time.
Even now, Cao Cao still did not despise Liu Bei.
It's a latent dragon And this psychology is Jia Xu's opportunity, and it was taken advantage of by Jia Xu.
Cao Chong's recent momentum is really a little frightening, especially the prestige in the hearts of the generals in the army is better than one day, Jia Xu's jealousy of Cao Chong is unprecedentedly deep, and even exceeds the vigilance of Cao Zhi.
If he doesn't suppress his momentum now, how will Zhonglang be able to suppress Cao Chong in the future If you can't suppress Cao Chong, wouldn't it be that the old grudges in your heart can't be stretched This is the last thing Jia Xu wants to see, so he can't let Cao Chong pass too smoothly, if Cao Chong can die at the hands of Zhou Yu, it will be better.
Of course, even if Jia Xu had this idea in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, but he only constructed the threat of Cao Cao's heart disease, so that Cao Cao didn't dare to make a move.
If Cao Cao withdraws his troops, the pressure on Cao Chong will really be much greater.
As for whether Cao Chong is talented on the battlefield, but who knows But Cao Cao is not easy to fool, although he is very jealous of Liu Bei in his heart, Cao Chong is also his heart, and he will not let Cao Chong fall into danger.
So after thinking for a while, Cao Cao slowly spit out a sentence: "Mingjin collects the troops, and after an hour, he will send troops again":
