"How outrageous. We came here under the emperor's order to defeat the false emperor. You, the Sun family, actually killed our soldiers indiscriminately. You must be in the same party as those rebellious officials and traitors!"
"Brothers, kill me, kill all these rebellious officials and traitors!" Cao Chun looked at Meng Kai who refused to fall. Although he was laughing wildly in his heart, he looked sad on the surface and roared.
Just now, Huang Gai, a veteran with a tough personality, quickly killed Meng Kai even though he was injured, just because he was worried that someone would rescue Meng Kai. But he would never have thought that Cao Chun had given up on Meng Kai at that time.
"Brothers, kill them all and avenge our soldiers!" Cao Kerang, who had just killed Huang Chao, was the first to respond.
Things have developed to this point, and this time, Cao Cao's plan was basically successful.
In fact, this time Cheng Yu proposed a strategy to Cao Cao. On the surface, it aimed directly at Huang Chao, but its real purpose was to use the dead Sun Jian to do things. As Cheng Yu expected, his plan succeeded this time. From the moment Cheng Pu and Huang Gai took action, the plan had been successful.
Cheng Yu's plan was not just for the remaining half of Huang Chao's county. What they were really interested in was the three counties of the Sun family.
Why did Cao Cao nominally launch his army this time? He accepted the emperor's order to defeat the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu, and Huang Chao happened to be nominally a subordinate of the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu. It can even be said that this time, Cao Cao's army was the king's. division.
But now, the generals of the Sun clan are attacking Master Wang, which can be regarded as rebellion. Therefore, things will be easier to handle after that.
Next, Cao's army, which has been prepared for a long time, will launch a sudden attack on the Sun family's territory. One side had been planning for a long time, but the other side was unprepared. One side's neighbor Chi You was sending troops to other places at this time, while the other side still had to confront some of Yuan Shu's troops.
If this battle breaks out, it's easy to imagine who will win and who will lose in the end. The Sun family's big trouble is really coming.
This time, although all smart people can see the subtlety involved and know that the Sun family fell into Cao Cao's scheme, they can't say anything. Who makes the Sun family inferior in skills to others! Therefore, given Cao Cao's reason for sending troops this time, even Li Xiang would not be able to interfere openly.
As for Sun Jian's question, Cao Chun had already given the reason on the spot. They mistook him for Huang Chao's people.
On the Sun side, the leader of this battle, Zhou Yu, like Bai Qi, Han Xin, Li Jing and others, was the commander-in-chief who was sitting among the tens of thousands of troops and strategizing.
Therefore, when emergencies like this one occur at the front, to a large extent, the generals at the front rely on their own judgment and decision-making, but these commanders are unable to make a reasonable decision in the first time.
But this time, those who encountered such an unexpected situation happened to be the more impatient generals like Cheng Pu and Huang Gai. Coupled with their special relationship with Sun Jian, it was easy for them to fall into the enemy's scheme.
But if Cao Jun encounters a commander like Xue Rengui this time, who is always charging forward, then Xue Rengui may have to deal with such emergencies personally, and the chance of success in the calculation will be greatly reduced.
"You, the eunuch, are so shameless!" At this time, Cheng Pu also noticed something was wrong, and shouted angrily after flying away one of Cao's soldiers with a spear.
"Old man, beg for death!" Cao Kerang was about to take action, but several cold arrows from nowhere came quietly. Cao Kerang was so shocked that he immediately waved his gun to block.
"General Cheng, General Huang, don't panic, Wu Jie is here!"
"Thieves Cao, stop being so rampant, I'm here, Lu Xiong!"
Several angry shouts came in succession, but Cao Chun was shocked. More and more Sun troops gathered here.
"Zihe, General Tian ordered us to evacuate the city temporarily!" Cao Ding emerged from nowhere and quickly gave Tian Ji's instructions.
"Retreat, pass the order, retreat immediately!" Cao Chun said immediately.
Cao Chun is a man who knows the military, so he naturally knows the reason for Tian Ji's retreat at this time. The ten thousand of them are all cavalry, and the most suitable battlefield for the cavalry is plain terrain. They cannot launch an effective charge in the city. If we continue to fight, we will use our own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points.
Moreover, these 10,000 cavalrymen are basically 80% of Cao Cao's cavalry worth. Without enough sources of horses, the cavalry cannot be quickly replenished. Therefore, they need to avoid large-scale damage as much as possible.
Instead of consuming each other in the city, it is better to take a step back. As long as they leave the city, the high sea and wide sea will be the most advantageous battlefield for their cavalry. What's more, their goal has been achieved this time, and there is no need to worry about the gains and losses of this city and one pool.

"Gong Jin, how do you explain this matter to the lord!" After the battle, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai dragged their injured bodies and said in distress.
Before, if Wu Jie, Lu Xiong and others hadn't arrived in time with reinforcements, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai might not exist now.
"Hey, my lord is like this, so I can only hide it for now!" As for the old lord Sun Jian's matter, Zhou Yu did not dare to speak directly to Sun Ce at this time. With Sun Ce's current physical condition, it was time for him to rest. If he knew about this, the injury would probably happen again.
"What's going on with Cao's army now!" Zhou Yu asked, changing the subject.
Things have developed to this point. Zhou Yu carefully thought over his thoughts again. He had already guessed Cao Cao's intention of sending troops this time.
This Cao Cao's appetite is really big, and he actually wants to annex their entire Sun clan. Although the Sun family has suffered losses due to various reasons during this period, Cao Cao's previous losses were not low!
However, precisely because of this, he also understood the seriousness of the situation. If the Sun family does not handle it properly this time, I am afraid that this time they will really face the danger of collapse. After all, Cao Cao is not the only enemy they have always faced, and a large part of their Sun family's troops have always been involved by Xian Zhen.
Yuan Shu's intentions were quite vicious. From the time they dealt with Huang Chao, he asked Xian Zhen to send a troop of soldiers and horses to threaten them. Although the other side doesn't really fight, they still have to be on guard, which will inevitably contain a lot of their troops.
If it weren't for Yuan Shu who had been stumbling upon them behind the scenes, I'm afraid Cao Cao wouldn't have been so determined this time and prepared to deal with the Sun family with all his strength. If it weren't for Yuan Shu's presence, I'm afraid Cao Cao's target this time would really be only the half of Huang Chao's county, instead of the three counties of the Sun clan.
