"How can it be?!"
Yes, how is it possible!
Not only did Sun Quan not believe this, but no one in Jiangdong believed it. A few days ago, I saw that all the nine states in the world were at my fingertips. Just a few days later, the most powerful army in Jiangdong was defeated by a group of old, weak, sick and disabled right at the door of my home? !
"What on earth did Cao Cao do?!"
There is only Cao Cao who has been mobilizing troops and generals and acting strangely. If he can win the Battle of Guandu with less and win more, and he can also win the Battle of Chibi with less and win more, then he is like a god with his troops! No, it's not just that he can use his troops like a god. Sun Quan believes that even if Cao Cao is a time traveler, unless he knows some superpowers, he will not be able to win this war.
"Cao Cao did nothing."
Sun Quan: "Did nothing?"
"It's Liu Bei."
Sun Quan: "Liu Bei?"
What can Liu Bei have? Of course, Sun Quan also admitted that Liu Bei was able to stabilize the morale of the army. His army did not undergo changes like Cao Cao's, and he was indeed somewhat capable. But just that?
Cihang Jingzhai? It's not that powerful.
"It's Liu Bei, actually... the Grand Governor." The visitor hesitated, "This is a letter written by the Grand Governor to the lord."
As he spoke, he handed over a letter.
Sun Quan took it and looked at it instantly, his face became more and more gloomy.
"Where's the governor?"
"The Governor left this letter and went to the front line in person. Later I heard that he was injured on the battlefield and was evacuated by his personal guards. His life and death are still uncertain." The visitor looked sad.

Soon,
With the power of victory, Liu Bei started from Jiangxia, crossed the Yangtze River, and successively occupied Changsha and Guilin counties. Forcibly, a deep thorn was inserted into Jiangdong, a territory that runs east to west along the Yangtze River!
Jiangdong had no choice but to mobilize troops from various places and deploy troops to Changsha. Although everyone in Jiangdong was filled with indignation and wanted to immediately rush to take back the city and wash away the shame, soldiers asked Sun Quan for orders every day. But for some reason, Sun Quan kept his troops stationary and did nothing, as if he was allowing Liu Bei to gain a foothold in the two counties of Changsha and Guilin.

Jianye,
"The strongest cities are always broken from the inside." Zhuge Liang sighed, "Normally speaking, Cao Cao and Liu Bei combined are no match for Sun Quan. But no one expected that Cao Cao withdrew, and the weakest Liu Bei defeated Sun Quan instead. I'm afraid it will be a brilliant addition to the history books!"
"Cao Cao is the shrewdest here. Cao Cao knows that if he is here, Jiangdong does not dare to lose, and naturally he will not lose. But if he is not here, Jiangdong loses to Liu Bei, allowing Liu Bei, the weakest, to take some advantage, which is not good for the overall situation. It won't have much impact." Diao Chan said, not knowing whether to laugh or sigh, "The way of heaven has its own reincarnation! Sun Quan lost his righteousness and was not blessed by the way of heaven, and finally ended up like this."
"It's just senior sister, there is still one thing I still can't figure out: why did Zhou Yu rebel?" Zhuge Liang asked doubtfully.
"Did Zhou Yu rebel?" Diao Chan asked.
"If you didn't rebel, how could you pretend to be careless and deliberately lose Chibi?" Zhuge Liang said.
"If Zhou Yu rebelled, why didn't he directly lead his troops to defeat the traitor King Qin? Why is the banner of Soochow still hanging now?" Diao Chan said.
"This is what I don't understand." Zhuge Liang said.
"There is only one possibility for Zhou Yu to betray Sun Quan but not Dongwu - Sun Ce is not dead." Diao Chan replied, "Zhou Yu has always been loyal to Sun Ce. This time Sun Quan revealed his intention to proclaim himself emperor, which also means that he cannot return his power. and Sun Ce, thus Zhou Yu’s false defeat happened this time.”
Zhuge Liang nodded. He actually thought so too, but the conclusion that Sun Ce was not dead was so surprising that Zhuge Liang also came to Diao Chan to confirm.
"Then what's the point of Sun Ce pretending to die?" Zhuge Liang asked curiously.
Diao Chan shook her head,
"This is unknown. However, by some mistake, Cao Cao withdrew on his own initiative, and Zhou Yu deliberately left a line to isolate himself from Sun Quan in Jiangdong. This gave Liu Bei a chance to survive in the narrow gap." Diao Chan paused and said, "You come to me. Do you want to ask Sun Quan what he will do next?"
"That's right." Zhuge Liang nodded, "After all, the one who knows Sun Quan best is you, senior sister."
"The one who suffered the biggest loss this time was Sun Quan, but don't forget, the initiator was Cao Cao. With Cao Cao's shrewdness, the biggest benefit cannot fall on Liu Bei." Diao Chan reminded.
Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes.
"So Cao Cao actually wanted to transfer the elite troops from Chibi..."
"So, on the surface, Sun Quan must be going to threaten Cao Cao. After all, Cao Cao is also a fierce tiger." Diao Chan said.
These words made Zhuge Liang stunned.
"On the surface? Doesn't it mean that Sun Quan will still beat Liu Bei secretly?"
"No." Diao Chan shook her head, "Beat Liu Bei and reconnect things, then you have to face Zhou Yu. If you are not careful, brothers will fight each other, and brothers will fight. This should be something that Sun Quan and Sun Ce are not willing to see. Arrived. Therefore, nothing will happen to Liu Bei in a short period of time. Of course, it will be difficult to develop. No matter whether Liu Bei wants to go east or west, both sides will not let him go further. How to let Liu Bei come out is You should think about it." Diao Chan said to Zhuge Liang.
"So, what is Sun Quan's real plan?" Zhuge Liang asked.

north,
"My lord, you already knew that Sun Ce was not dead?" the subordinates asked Cao Cao excitedly.
Cao Cao smiled slightly and said,
"Although there are some clues, they have not been confirmed."
"Ah? Isn't that gambling?" The generals were shocked.
"Haha." Cao Cao burst into laughter, "Of course it's a gamble! Besides, even if he had known that Sun Ce was really not dead, it doesn't mean that Zhou Yu would have deliberately lost." Cao Cao said, "It is a last resort for soldiers to make dangerous moves. , but if the bet is right, it means that God is still on my side, Cao Cao, what kind of dragon is he, Sun Quan!"
"Yes! Let me just say, Sun Quan's dragon is definitely fake!"
"You're lying now, why did you go so early?"
"I always said it was fake, okay!"
"Hahaha!"
"Speaking of my lord, what if the bet is wrong?" one person asked.
"If the bet is wrong, then the next battle will be a last-ditch battle. We can only win but not lose. If we win, we can use the Yellow River as the boundary to build a defense line again. As for losing..." Cao Cao did not say any more. Everyone here knows what the consequences will be if they lose. For the people below them, surrendering to Sun Quan would be a big deal in exchange for a life. But for Cao Cao, after this incident, Sun Quan might not even give him the chance to surrender!
"Lord, don't worry! When Sun Quan made the Yellow Dragon come to the world, the world was shaken, and the morale of the army was shaken. We are not the only ones who are shaken. Now that the incident in Chibi has not spread to the north, the Yuan family will never expect that our elite has arrived in front of them. This battle will be won. !”
"This battle must be won!!!"
