Chapter 257 The world is in strife! Cao Jun’s people are gradually losing their hearts!

However, Cao Cao found a way to deceive his account and then ambushed him.

They directly let 30,000 soldiers and horses occupy that area, but what they got in exchange was just an empty city!

Liu Bei knew that the weather had been very dry recently, so he used a cruel trick.

He spread kerosene on the city, and when Cao's army came in, he fired rockets directly into it, burning the entire city into ruins. Even Zhang Liao and three other generals were so embarrassed that they fled in all directions!

At this time, many residents in Jingzhou have done a lot of things, such as setting up some ditches for defense.

The armies in the south are generally so-called shield soldiers, and they are all soldiers who use heavy shields. They are not like cavalry. They can fight in songs, and can also be used to prevent cavalry from breaking down the formation.

In this way, Cao Jun's marching speed became much slower!

The battle front has also been completely stretched.

Cao Cao also became very troubled.

This time the battle with Jingzhou was directly involved from Nanyang to Nanjun, and almost half of the region was in this state.

What is this called?

It can only be regarded as a war of attrition among generals. Whoever has more generals will win.

Therefore, Jinzhou became more dangerous, and Cao Jun also gained some advantages.

And on this day.

Jia Xu walked into the government office with the battle report, and Xi Yu was waiting for news about Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia. After the deal was completed, the relative and bankers would receive more intense investment.

At this time, they will also bring a group of soldiers to Youzhou to solve the problems there.

The main problem over there is banditry.

Jia Xu looked worried and said: "My lord! According to the battle report from the front line, they have been locked in a stalemate there for nearly a year!"

"Gong Cao has occupied Nanyang and is now sending troops to Xiangyang!"

"So this can only mean one thing, Jingzhou is about to fall!"

Xi Yu was a little confused: "Where did Liu Bei go?"

"This man is very cunning. He led more than 10,000 soldiers under his command to escort Liu Biao to Jiangxia! Now in Xiangyang there are only some female relatives of the Cai family and young children in charge. There is no suspense about the outcome of this battle!"

Jia Xu's eyes were filled with bitterness, and then he said: "My lord, you said earlier that Guild Cao had a problem in Chibi? This statement probably doesn't make sense!"

"You don't have to make a conclusion so early."

Xi Yu laughed: "The battle is not over yet! Although there are big problems in Jingzhou, various situations may still happen on our side!"

"Jiangxia is here, Jiangdong is also there, and there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses!"

Xiyu's expression was actually quite happy.

Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia made eye contact, and both felt that Xi Yu seemed to be too optimistic.

"On the Jiangdong side, we can maintain our foundation, but we can't expand our territory!"

Zhuge Liang took advantage of the situation and said: "And I have to tell you, in fact, Jiangdong is also good at water warfare, and Cao Cao doesn't have anyone who can command the navy!"

"However, Cao Cao can actually choose to take the land route, but there are also various natural dangers and checkpoints. We may be able to see Cao Cao's army suffer heavy losses!"

Xi Yu shook his head and said: "He doesn't want to go by land. I can be sure that he will definitely choose to go by water!"

"Don't forget, how long did Liu Biao fight with Jiangdong? They fought across the river! He also has a group of naval talents under him!"

Guo Jia's eyes were filled with confusion: "Then why do you think Jiangdong can win?"

Xiyu is not very sure either.

But he felt that if Zhou Yu was there, nothing would go wrong.

This man can be regarded as a person with a profound strategy, and he also has extraordinary military power.

Regardless of the so-called romance novels, even in real history, Zhou Yu's performance in Red Cliff is remarkable and invincible!

"How about we make a bet?"

The corners of Xiyu's mouth curled up slightly.

Jia Xu also took a few deep breaths: "Why are you so optimistic?"

"Let's make a bet! What are you going to take as the prize?"

The three people made eye contact, rubbed their chins, and said:

"Of course it's possible, but we have to think carefully about what to use as a lottery ticket!"

"But if Mr. Cao wins, we will have great fun here!"

"Actually, I think so too!" Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "Although I really want to be on your side, the key question is, we don't think Jiangdong has any chance of winning?"

"If Jiangdong can really win!"

"That was like a miracle!"

Xi Yu chuckled and said, "You still have to have a heart that can believe in miracles!"

"The most indispensable thing in the world is miracles!"

Xi Yu's tone became duller again: "But, you have to be clear about one thing! Cao Cao is actually facing a lot of dangers! Their soldiers are also tired of fighting, and maybe there will be problems!"

"To be honest, fighting for a long time is just an opportunity. I can't communicate with my family. If I encounter trouble, I will feel heartbroken!"

"But you have to know one thing, Liu Bei is taking the people with him!"

"He can also be regarded as the way to inherit the sky!"

"And Liu Bei is originally a member of the royal family. Liu Biao escaped with him, so he can be regarded as having a destiny!"

"And the people from Jiangdong are good at water battles, so they can be considered as occupying the home court!"

"Moreover, Jiangsu also has powerful generals such as Taishi Ci and Zhou Yu, as well as terrifying generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. This can be regarded as a harmonious relationship!"

"So I can also conclude that Cao Cao will never win!"

After everyone heard this, they felt that it was indeed very reasonable.

Only people like Xi Yu who criticize from an objective position can think clearly.

If they were in the same camp as Cao Cao now, they probably wouldn't be able to make any accurate judgment.

It’s impossible to see it so accurately!

It is true that the generals on the Jiangdong side are good at fighting in the water, but it is not widely known!

Xi Yu can actually understand this, and he actually has a deep understanding of the world's situation.

Moreover, Cao Jun did not think Zhou Yu was a good talent, and even thought Jiang Dong was just a rat!

Don't take them seriously either!

Especially after Sun Ce was defeated in Hefei, they looked down upon Jiangdong even more.

"If you look at it this way, it's indeed a bit troublesome!"

After Jia Xu and others thought about it for a while, they remembered something again.

After a while, Guo Jia stood up and bowed to Xi Yu: "Now I finally understand why you are so sure! You are worthy of being our lord!"

"So at this stage we should ask the design institute to come up with the design drawings of the shipyard!"

"It would be best to be able to park some large warships!"

"As for what kind of war can advance faster, we have to put it on the research agenda, not only in Jiangdong. If we can fight at sea in the future, that is also a good choice!"

Xiyu nodded.

In fact, what Guo Jia said is very reasonable. Nowadays, their shipyard can only park some small merchant ships, and there is no way for those large ships to enter.

"Just do what you said! Let's keep an eye on the situation on the man's side. We also need to strengthen our military training. It's best not to let any accidents happen over there!"

"OK!"

Jia Xu and Guo Jia left. Xi Yu continued to sit at the table and read the official documents. Zhuge Liang also helped Xi Yu handle the affairs.

Although he is said to be extremely resourceful, he is actually a relatively calm and reserved person, and he does not like to chat too much with others while working.

Xiyu also enjoys some leisure time.

To be honest, Lao Cao still doesn’t know if he can come back from Jiangdong alive!

This matter is also very important to Xiyu.

What is the real situation? Xiyu wants to take a look.

However, Xi Yu knew that in history, Cao Cao suffered a huge defeat at Red Cliff, and then returned to Xuchang only after his guards fought desperately to protect him.

At that time, everyone in Xuchang knew that he had lost, and Ma Teng from Xiliang even hired someone to assassinate Cao Cao.
