When Cao Cao heard the entire battle with the partial army, his face fell into an extremely ferocious state.
The anger coming out of his eyes seemed to burn everything down!
Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang were two rising stars whom he valued and promoted personally.
This time, he completely slapped Cao Cao in the face, one to the left and one to the right, all at the same time!
Li Tong, who was extremely brave and never let Cao Cao down, had a huge problem this time.
Chen Ying, the hero of the pacification of Xuzhou, his father Chen Gui and his brother Chen Deng are not ordinary people, their intelligence is far beyond ordinary people!
Cao Cao originally thought that even if Chen Ying was not as good as his father and brother, he should still make more concessions.
Quite the opposite is true!
It's just that Chen Ying is not as good as his father and brother, but he is far different from his father and brother, and Cao Cao admits it.
But how could Cao Cao figure it out? Chen Yingzhen didn't have much ability, but he had a lot of intrigues!
The only person who made Cao Cao feel sorry was Zang Ba, the governor of Xuzhou.
It was better to let Zang Ba go to support him in the first place, and he wouldn't have fallen into Zhou Yu's trick!
Once Jiujiang County was lost, Sun Quan from Jiangdong completely established a foothold in Jiangbei.
The Yangtze River moat instantly changed from the only line of defense to the second line of defense.
If Cao Cao wants to attack Jiangdong in the future, he does not need to think about the Yangtze River first, he must first consider the Huaihe River!
When Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, the scene of Cao Cao's attack on Shouchun is still vivid in my mind.
With the support of Sun Ce's attack from Jiangdong, Shouchun was barely able to break through.
Now Jiangdong and Jianghuai are connected and become a monolith!
After the fall of Jianghuai, the structure of Yangzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou underwent a subversive reversal.
For Cao Cao, Guangling County became an isolated city and would be attacked from three sides by Danyang County, Wu County, and Jiujiang County at the same time.
Yuzhou and Xuzhou will be threatened at all times, and the troops that need to be deployed are at least twice as large as before!
For Sun Quan, he has successfully advanced his territory to the Jianghuai area, and can consider attacking Guangling!
After all, Guangling County is south of Huai River!
Now that Cao Jun was defeated, it was a great opportunity to completely drive Cao Jun out of Huai River.
Thanks to the conquest of Jiujiang County, Jiujiang, Lujiang, and Jiangxia were connected together, forming a land defense line north of the Huaihe River for Sun Quan.
From now on, Sun Quan's power will definitely skyrocket!
The impact of the fall of Jiujiang County cannot be compensated by simply occupying Nan County and Jiangxia County!
And currently, there is still a big question mark on whether Jiangxia County can change hands.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao covered his forehead with one hand and his chest with the other, full of pain.
I feel dizzy, my chest feels heavy, and my breathing becomes extremely difficult.
The generals hurriedly stepped forward to wait, and Xiahou Dun personally stepped forward to help Cao Cao.
"King Wei, are you okay?"
After a long time, Cao Cao took a few deep breaths and shook his head gently.
"Huh... I'm alone... It's okay!"
Fortunately, Zhou Yu's ambitions were temporarily stopped in Jiujiang. Sun Quan had just put down the civil strife and was temporarily unable to go north.
As long as you arrange it properly, things can turn around.
Moreover, Cao Cao also has a big killer weapon!
Five chain-locked battleships!
As long as the Chibi Water Fort is defeated and the Jiangdong Navy is completely destroyed, Cao Cao will take the initiative again.
Failure to dominate the Yangtze River means that the north bank of the Yangtze River will be cut off by Cao's army!
Isolated and helpless, even though Zhou Yu had extraordinary powers, it was of no avail.
Everything depends on the battle in three days!
"Yu Jin, Mao Jie, you two must break through the Chibi Water Village and defeat the Jiangdong Navy in one battle!"
"This battle is a matter of life and death for our army!"
Both Yu Jin and Mao Jie were not easy to deal with. Naturally, they understood the critical nature of the current situation and accepted the military order with confidence.
"Don't worry, King Wei! In three days, the Jiangdong Navy will definitely be destroyed!"
Cao Cao nodded, very satisfied with the confidence of the two.
Now that the situation has changed drastically, it is impossible to predict whether Lu Xun will still be willing to surrender.
The battle in three days will determine whether Cao Cao has one more great talent to help him, or one more great talent to serve as his enemy.
Cao Cao knew the difference between having one more helper and one more enemy!
Everything is bet on the iron chain warship!
"call..."
Cao Cao let out another breath and waved his hand gently, asking the generals to leave for now.
There was too much news today. Cao Cao wanted to be alone and digest it.
Seeing this, Xiahou Dun quickly warned him.
"King Wei, the envoy from Xuchang has not reported yet."
Cao Cao slapped his forehead suddenly and secretly sighed that he was so angry.
I actually forgot that there is an urgent report from Xuchang!
However, Cao Cao was not too worried about the urgent report from Xuchang.
With Guo Jia here, the situation will definitely be stable.
The so-called urgent report should also be to stabilize the morale of the military.
Besides, Guo Jia can mobilize the power of the school affairs office.
If Guo Jia can't solve it in Xuchang City, Cao Cao probably can't do anything.
"Tell me, what's the matter with Fengxiao?"
The soldier looked around and seemed hesitant to speak.
Cao Cao saw everything and issued military orders again.
"There are all Gu's confidants here, you just say it doesn't matter!"
With Cao Cao's approval, the soldiers no longer had any doubts.
"To report to the King of Wei, Military Advisor Guo asked me to tell the King of Wei that the chain of iron-locked warships was Lu Xun's conspiracy!"
"Advisor Guo asked me to send a message to King Wei as quickly as possible, and asked King Wei not to worry about anything else, burn all the warships quickly, and lead the army back to Xuchang!"
After Cao Cao heard this, he immediately fell into a daze.
He even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, so he asked repeatedly.
"You...what did you say?"
"Informing the King of Wei, Military Advisor Guo asked the King of Wei to quickly burn the warships and lead the army back to Xuchang!"
The soldier was so brave that he actually dared to repeat it again.
After saying this, Cao Cao finally knew that there was nothing wrong with his ears, and he didn't hear wrongly!
But Cao Cao had new doubts.
Is this soldier in front of me sent by Guo Jia?
Could it be a spy sent by Sun Quan?
Guo Jia asked him to burn the ship and then led his army back to Xuchang?
joke!
What a big joke!
How much did Cao Cao pay to build these five chain-locked warships?
Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were thrown into the Yangtze River, leading to today's situation!
He was about to collect the results of the battle and take down the Jiangdong navy in one fell swoop, but he was actually allowed to burn the ship himself?
Suddenly, Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he understood instantly.
"Come here, capture this thief!"
There was no need for soldiers at all. Xiahou Dun directly kicked the soldiers to the ground with a quick step.
Then he drew out his long sword and put it between the soldier's neck.
Taking his life is as easy as picking something out of a bag!
"Ah...! King Wei, spare your life!"
"The little one is innocent!"
The coldness from the long sword woke up the soldier from his confusion and cried to Cao Cao.
He ran day and night for so long, diligently completing the tasks assigned to him by Guo Jia.
It’s just that he didn’t get the reward, but he was actually killed!
Is this justified?
