Lu Xun couldn't see Cao Wu's expression, but Diao Chan beside Cao Wu could see it.
The south was already hot and humid, and Diao Chan was already covered in sweat, but in her eyes, Cao Wu was still smiling.
The big ship in the distance was getting closer and closer, but Cao Wu calmly clapped his hands and sat on the hillside again.
"Cao Lang..."
Diao Chan asked anxiously, and then advised: "Should we retreat? Once Jiangdong's reinforcements arrive, we will not be able to retreat."
"Reinforcements?"
Cao Wu shook his head.
"Look carefully!"
When Diao Chan heard this, she looked at the ships in surprise. She saw that there were no flags on the three ships, and she couldn't tell whose troops they belonged to.
But Cao Cao's army did not have sea-going ships. Not only did this team that went deep into Jiaozhou not have any, even the army at Cao Cao's base camp far in the north did not have ships that could go to sea.
There are only three separatist forces in the world that can build sea ships, one is Jiangdong, one is Jiaozhi, and the other is Liaodong.
These three families have been separated for ten or twenty years, and because of the crisscross sea routes, they each occupy a sea area. Besides, who else has sea ships?
But she looked at it carefully and felt that there was something wrong. Since it was Jiangdong's reinforcements, why didn't they just fly the Jiangdong flag openly?
After all, even if you don't fly the flag, who wouldn't know that you are a Jiangdong ship?
Diao Chan didn't know much about the standard of sea ships, so she boldly guessed: "Could it be a ship sent by Shi Xie from Jiaozhi?"
Cao Wu shook his head.
Diao Chan was confused again: "Then who is it?"
She looked around, and panic had begun to spread. Cao's troops on both sides of the Baiteng River were a little confused. The situation that was originally a sure victory had become confusing with the arrival of these three ships.
Cao Wu said leisurely: "In this era, talents are emerging in large numbers, and each of them is outstanding in the world and shocking the world."
Diao Chan frowned, wondering what Cao Wu was talking about at this time.
Although she is a woman, she grew up in Situ Wangyun's house. She received the education of poetry and rituals from an early age. She has read many books and understands the current events of these years.
But as Cao Wu said, in the past twenty years, there have been too many amazing and talented people who can still lead the way in the long history.
However, what does this have to do with reinforcements?
"Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin are strong, very strong. The battlefield is changing rapidly, but he can handle it with ease. In the battle of Bai Tengjiang alone, he set up as many as six ambushes, which can be called a step-by-step plan. It's a pity... it's a pity that he only has these men and horses, It's hard to make a meal without rice even if you move around in a flash."
"It's hard to make a meal without rice..."
Diao Chan repeated it, feeling that this description was very appropriate. If Zhou Yu was given Cao Cao's troops, he might really have a chance to conquer the Central Plains.
But having said that, Cao Cao's military strength was accumulated bit by bit by himself. Cao Cao and Sun Jian started the rebellion at almost the same time. Cao Cao accumulated it, but Jiangdong did not.
While Cao Cao was pacifying the Central Plains in the north, Jiangdong was calming down the civil strife and attacking Huang Zu. He missed the opportunity to sneak attack on the empty rear when Cao Cao was fighting Yuan Shao.
"Zhou Yu, he is too focused on the battlefield. He has strengths on the battlefield and in strategy, but in many other aspects, he is not considered superior."
Without waiting for Diao Chan to answer, Cao Wu continued: "But. In this era, there is a person who is better than the world in strategy and tactics, is stronger in domestic affairs than one party, and can compete with other scholars in foreign affairs. He is the strongest civil servant of the era. He..."
Cao Wu stretched out his hand and said, "Under my command."
Not far away, it seemed that Cao Jun's morale was declining and Jiangdong's morale was rising. The three large ships began to raise their flags.
Diao Chan grabbed Cao Wu's hand and looked at the big characters on the flag in disbelief.
All the generals participating in the battle, as many as a dozen famous generals on both sides, looked at the raised flag.
Although they were far away, the big characters fluttering in the wind shocked everyone's heart.
"The general of the Northern Prefecture of the Han Dynasty faked the holiday with Yue Cao"!
Lu Xun was surprised: "How is it possible? How could it be possible?"
Zhang Liao pondered: "How did he do it?"
Zhu Ran was desperate: "Why does Cao Jun have ships?"
Zhang He stood up and said, "My sons, follow me to kill the bandit army!"
The plummeting morale rose again with the three flags on the three ships.
Especially the three characters "Jiejieyue" made all Cao Jun generals feel at ease.
The festival is the emperor's staff. Cao Wuchu was just a general with no title at that time. Because of his achievements in turning the tide in the battle of Chibi, he got the right to open the government. During the Battle of Chibi, he also had a holiday, but he never mentioned the holiday from beginning to end, because Cao Cao was present at that time, and Cao Cao could decide who would take command.
Things are different now. Zhang Liao and others are not convinced by each other, but the words Jiajie Yue can make them obey orders.
In name, the presence of Emperor Jieyue is like the Emperor's personal presence.
The reinforcements are Cao's army, not Jiangdong's army, and the reinforcements are holding the Emperor's Festival Yue!
Anyone who understands some of its meaning will feel trembling all over.
"Kill the thief!"
Li Dian raised his sword high and chased after Pan Zhang. Pan Zhang was beaten so hard that he couldn't resist. Lu Fan came to rescue him, but both of them were defeated. The reinforcements that finally arrived were Cao's army. How could they still be there? Fighting spirit.
The frustrated two retreated together. During the retreat, Pan Zhang was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse. Li Dian rushed over and stabbed him to death.
He raised his sword and roared: "The thief chief Pan Zhang is dead, the rest must surrender quickly!"
Liu Xian followed behind, but he was quick to see the opportunity and urged the soldiers to shout together.
On the southern battlefield on the west bank, Cao Jun’s soldiers shouted in unison.
"Pan Zhang is dead! Jiangdong Army has been defeated!"
Before the ship arrived, Jiangdong's army on the southern front had already begun to collapse. Lu Fan's eyes were red, but he could not contain the defeated army.
He looked up to the sky and shouted: "Why, why is it not my Jiangdong Army who is coming! Why!"
No one answered, and no one among the Jiangdong rebel army even noticed that he was the deputy general of this army.
Once the southern battlefield was defeated, several other battlefields also began to falter.
Xu Sheng's hair was disheveled and he was being chased by Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard cavalry. He could no longer find his troops. Zhu Ran was unable to stand alone and wanted to retreat.
Huang Gai and Zhou Tai could hardly resist, because Huang Zhong actually used a bamboo raft to attack their ship.
Zhou Tai shouted angrily, turned around and said to Zhou Yu: "Commander, withdraw! They are not our reinforcements!"
But the independent figure on the bow seemed to stay there.
Zhou Yu, who calculated everything in the world, miscalculated.
From this distance, he could not only see the boats on the river, but also the figure of a woman in white standing on the first boat.
He had seen that woman.
Outside the Chibi Camp, she broke into the Jiangdong Military Camp every night and killed two people every night. Later, Zhou Yu also used this woman to rescue Huang Gai and used a trick.
But now, the appearance of this woman made his heart feel cold.
"Why is this happening?"
Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
