"My Lord, Cao's army has not really evacuated. Ru Ling has set up camp eighty miles away from our army!" Cheng Pu said bitterly.
When they were in the city just now, they were able to force Cao Jun to retreat. But when the opponent leaves the city, there are no restrictions on the city shape. With the opponent's full cavalry deployment, the opponent can regain control of the initiative on the battlefield.
"That's all, let's send a message to the Grand Governor about the matter first. At this time, perhaps only the Grand Governor can come up with a solution! In addition, immediately send a message to various places, ordering them to strengthen their defenses. I'm afraid there will be a war next. !" Zhou Yu said distressedly.
He was not worried about Tian Ji's 10,000 cavalry, although the opponent would definitely be able to seize the initiative on the battlefield with their mobility. However, even if it is a big battle, even if he cannot win, Zhou Yu still has the confidence to remain undefeated. What's more, as long as they defend the city, the other party will not dare to act rashly.
What Zhou Yu is really worried about is Cao Cao's next move. Since the opponent has set up such a trap, I am afraid that they have already made preparations to attack them. Maybe, at this moment, the opponent has already taken action, and they have already lost half of the battle before it really begins.
The other party has been planning for a long time, and may send troops in the next moment, but they have only now discovered the other party's conspiracy. The other party has already made mental calculations and has no intention. They will not be able to fight the next battle.
Apart from this, Zhou Yu was more worried about Yuan Shu's actions. The two families had already become mortal enemies by this time. If they were fighting to the death with Cao Cao, Yuan Shu would most likely take advantage of them.
"This... the general understands!" Hearing that Zhou Yu wanted to ask Sun Wu to come up with a plan, although Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to agree.
With Sun Ce's current physical condition, they didn't dare to tell Sun Ce about this mess for the time being, so they could only let Sun Wu deal with it temporarily. What's more, if things really develop as Zhou Yu guessed, except for Sun Wu who has some opportunities, it is impossible for anyone else to turn the tide.
However, as veterans of the Sun family, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai still had some worries. Sun Wu's prestige in the army was too great. Moreover, most of the young generals in the army, such as Zhou Yu, Wu Jie, Zhou Fashang, and Wu Lin, were mentored by Sun Wu, and their relationship network was equally complex.
And above this point, if the situation continues to develop, even if these two people don't want to, Sun Wu and Sun Ce may inevitably have conflicts in the future.
Throughout the dynasties, many emperors had to deal with a group of heroes, not because they really couldn't tolerate these people, but because they had to do so. Once the prestige of these ministers has reached a level that may affect their position as lord, even if the lord knows that these ministers will not betray, in most cases he will have to deal with it ruthlessly. …………………………………………………………………………
"My lord, how's the war going?" Sun Ce sat up and said when he saw Zhou Yu walking into the military tent. Although the little bully Sun Ce looked very pale, his words were piercing and energetic, and he did not look like he was seriously injured at all.
If it hadn't been for being stimulated by Huang Chao, causing the wound to burst and the arrow wound to recur, the little overlord Sun Ce wouldn't have been recuperating here. The reason why Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others unanimously decided to hide the recent events from Sun Ce was because they all knew Sun Ce’s character. If they told them, the injuries that were already better might relapse. .
"Don't worry, Bo Ce, Suiyang has been destroyed, Huang Chao's traitors have been killed, and the old master's body has been collected and sent to Lu County by General Huang!" Zhou Yu explained patiently. Just from the surface, there is no hint of fakeness at all.
"Gongjin, I haven't seen my father yet, why did he send him back to Lu County in such a hurry...ahem..." Sun Ce asked excitedly. This excitement almost touched the wound again, and Zhou Yu was so shocked that he immediately helped Sun Ce lie down temporarily.
Even for his mortal enemy Huang Chao, Sun Ce didn't care at all at this time, but immediately asked about his father's situation. For his father, there is still no peace after death. As a son, Sun Ce has always hidden great guilt and self-blame.
"Bo Ce, look at your impatience, how dare I let you see my uncle at this time. What's more, after such a long delay, it's time for the old master to be laid to rest as soon as possible!" Zhou Yu had already thought of it. Good words eased Sun Ce's mood as much as possible.
"Gongjin, help me up. As a son of a man, how could I not see my father for the last time?" Sun Ce struggled to say.
"Bo Ce..." At this time, Zhou Yu could only rack his brains to exhort him. How dare they let Sun Ce see the miserable condition of Sun Jian's body at this time? If Sun Ce really saw it, with his stubborn temper, it would be a problem to save the injury, let alone heal it.
Fortunately, as a lord, Sun Ce is not the shrewd type. Especially when Zhou Yu is by his side, Sun Ce usually leaves all the troublesome matters to Zhou Yu. Therefore, after a series of nonsense, Zhou Yu successfully deceived Sun Ce.
Of course, although Sun Ce is not the shrewd type of lord, he is definitely not a fool. After all, he was the little overlord of Jiangdong who could build a foundation. Although Sun Ce's opponents in Jiangdong at that time were not very good, Sun Ce still had the most basic abilities. The reason why Sun Ce was so easily deceived by Zhou Yu was mainly due to Sun Ce's trust in Zhou Yu. This kind of trust made Sun Ce instinctively not doubt what Zhou Yu said. …………………………………………………………………………
At this time, Zhou Yu didn't know that this matter was going to be worse than he imagined.
Just when Zhou Yu was thinking about explaining the situation here to Sun Wu, Sun Wu would return to take charge of the overall situation against Cao Cao. In fact, at the same time, Cao Mengde had already decisively sent troops to take action.
As soon as Tian Ji's plan was successful, he sent Qingqi to change horses without changing people overnight to convey the news to Cao Cao.
After learning that the plan had been successful, Cao Cao did not rush to be happy, but instead issued the order for a full-scale attack as quickly as possible. After all, at this time, he had just completed the rhythm of the plan. His real goal was to annex Sun Ce's territory, and to achieve this goal, he still needed to go through a big battle. And before the final results are achieved, it's not time to be happy yet.
