To be honest, Guan Yu will not let Cao Cao go this time, and Xi Yu is also looking forward to what will happen by then.

This summer.

Jingzhou surrendered.

Except for Jiangxia, all the land came under Cao Cao's command.

The Cai family was granted the title of Madam, and the Cai family could be regarded as continuing to become a noble gentry and continuing to rule the entire Jingzhou.

After Cao Cao entered Xiangyang, he stationed troops in the south. At this time, he felt relieved.

Although Liu Bei and Liu Biao were not captured, they no longer had any threat in Cao Cao's eyes, and there was no way they could escape.

There is only one place for them to escape.

That is Jiangdong.

At this time, in the government office, Cao Cao hosted a banquet for all the soldiers. He was very happy and even composed a poem by the river.

The next day, Cao Cao not only rewarded everyone based on their merits, but even expressed his gratitude to the emperor and performed sacrifices to heaven.

Moreover, he also asked his subordinate Xi Zhicai to write a letter of persuasion to surrender and asked him to hand it over to Soochow.

A loud bang!

In a government office somewhere in Jiangdong, Sun Ce immediately smashed the slip on the ground, pointed at the visitor and started to curse: "If I don't cook you to death today, my surname will not be Sun!"

"What did you say?"

Zhang Zhao's expression changed. If he really killed this man, he would really have no room for escape.

Although it is indeed very satisfying, it also makes people feel very embarrassed.

The visitor was stunned at the time, and fell to his knees, his legs were weak, but he still had a breath of anger on his face: "If you dare to do such a thing, sooner or later your family will be destroyed!"

"Just take him over and cook him!"

Sun Ce shouted, and after the voice came, the soldiers next to him trembled.

To be honest, everyone knows what Sun Ce did back then, killing all the nobles in the territory was like a pile of heads.

So those people actually hated him very much, but they just couldn't take action against him.

This messenger was really cooked to death!

The bones floated along the water to Cao Jun, taking the letter with them.

To be honest, everyone can understand Sun Ce's thoughts, and Cao Cao probably can't persuade him to surrender.

"What a disaster!"

To be honest, Zhang Zhao is one of the few nobles in Jiangdong today. He was able to stand in line relatively quickly back then, so he barely escaped death.

Moreover, the Zhang family also has great influence in Jiangdong.

However, if Sun Ce is here, they will not be able to influence the trends of the Jiangdong regime.

Those princes have absolute power and control over the nobles just like mice over cats.

When Cao Cao found out about this, his expression changed, he blew up all the food, and then angrily scolded Sun Ce.

"You really are a rat! Sun Ce, right? When I fought with his father, he was just a young boy! Now he dares to humiliate me? What a bastard, bastard!"

"Zhicai, arrange things in Jingzhou, and then spend another six months building the warships. Send all 300,000 navy, 200,000 infantry, and 100,000 cavalry there!"

"I can't believe that so many people came together! Can't we take them down?"

"besides!"

"Inform the nobles on the Jiangdong side. If they are willing to surrender, we will definitely give them benefits!"

"yes!"

Xi Zhicai didn't think much and walked straight away.

Cao Cao's idea was clearer and more purposeful, which was to use his fame and prestige to collapse their morale and then force them to surrender, just like Xi Yu did.

Once the noble clans in Jiangdong fall apart, the common people will definitely follow, and the situation will become more chaotic by then. If Sun Ce continues to operate, the world will definitely become lower and he will definitely be hung on the pillar of shame.

, was cast aside.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao chose to do this kind of thing, wanting Jiangdong to endure a greater crisis.

But tell the truth.

If Cao Cao continues to go to war, he will actually face a big problem. Ma Teng from Xiliang is still struggling there and may "steal home" at any time.

Moreover, since he went to Jingzhou, Cao Cao's troops were lost much faster than he thought before, and the soldiers and horses in Jinzhou were not able to gather them immediately and put them to use.

Because they have not actually returned to the Cao family, even if they put in their efforts, it will take a while before they can integrate into the Cao army.

So, they are indeed in some trouble.

Xi Zhicai also thought a lot in his mind, but he didn't know what to do.

But in fact, Cao Cao has now become the Duke of Wei. If he has no great achievements, it will be very troublesome to be crowned king in the future!

And they won't get any benefits.

However, they have an advantage in terms of numbers, and Cao Cao is one of the best-known generals. If he takes command personally, he will definitely get some benefits, such as higher morale.

Cao Cao actually brought some veterans and small soldiers.

This situation can be described as mixed, and some soldiers and generals from Jingzhou can also be put to use.

Cao Cao selected some people, such as Liu Pan, Wenpin Cai Zhong and Cai He!

These people are also somewhat capable.

Another general named Xing Daorong was also recruited.

Xing Daorong's reputation is very great, but there is nothing very attractive about him during the war. He is not eye-catching, but he has a lot of strength and has quite powerful force, so Cao Cao made him a partial general.

First lead 10,000 soldiers.

As for the others, each of them also led 30,000 soldiers.

This method can definitely improve the team's combat effectiveness, but to be honest, it also has hidden dangers.

This is already somewhat different from Xi Yu's idea of ​​setting up the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the transport camp.

These two teams are actually selected from the elite.

They are all the main forces on Cao's side.

If you mix them, problems may arise.

And it was indeed like this. Within a month, Cao Cao and Liu Bei went to war in Jiangxia, and the soldiers on their side were also restrained.

When the infantry and cavalry fought hard, they suffered countless casualties, and their cavalry would also be trapped by the shield formation.

The number of casualties became very large, and the morale of the military also fluctuated.

After three days of fighting, Cao's army could no longer bear the intrusion.

Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Cao Chun and others also acted as vanguard.

Zhang Liao and Cao Hong actually suffered the most horrific losses. The soldiers on their side were the more motivated ones and rushed to the front.

As a result, heavy losses were incurred.

They don't have any good way to deal with the shield formation now, so they can only walk on as flat ground as possible.

However, if this happens, Liu Bei will fall into Liu Bei's trap and ambush soldiers and horses in the valley, thus forming a series of things.

And Zhang Feiyu and Guan Yu were indeed some of the best generals at that time. He led his men to ambush and then rushed to kill them quickly. He was able to cause horrific casualties in a very short period of time. It didn't take long for him to eat up nearly tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

To be honest, now that they have entered the closing stage, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are considered to have left.

Zhang Liao, Cao Hong and others went to collect the remains of their compatriots, and they also had to collect some usable weapons!

To be honest, they were very broken here. They were attacked many times, and the people behind them couldn't rescue them.

But luckily there are no enemy troops at the rear. Otherwise, it would be really difficult if we were surrounded from left to right and from front to back!

For example, a similar thing happened before. A cavalry group of about three to four hundred people got separated from the troops. Zhang Fei took advantage of it and killed them all, and also seized a large amount of baggage.

Cao Jun's baggage is much better than Zhang Fei's. If they can study it carefully, they can also achieve technological breakthroughs and have a greater chance of winning!

It can be said that if they can really eliminate their ordnance and replace it with new equipment in the future, they will have a chance to attack Xuchang!

As for before, one of Cao Hong's men broke out of the siege, but he was covered in blood and looked like he was almost dead.

When he woke up, he found that Zhang Liao was preparing to retreat, but Cao Chun was still fighting, and Cao Hong was helping him. The two sides were fighting in full swing!

He was also very angry, with sadness and pain on his face, and shouted in Qingzhou dialect: "If General Zhang doesn't treat us as colleagues! Then why go to the battlefield again? Could it be that you are the lackey of the dramatist?

? Why did you choose to withdraw your troops at this time?"
