"Lu Xun is so blind that he allowed a coward like you to pretend to be a lonely soldier!"
"How can such a simple plan be hidden from Gu's eyes!"
Cao Cao looked at the soldiers who were kneeling and begging for mercy, with a rare smile on his lips.
In just a moment, he understood it all.
Lu Xun must have regretted telling him about the iron chain chain warship.
Only then did the news come from within Jiangdong and Jiujiang County, so that he could make wrong judgments in a panic.
After burning the chain of warships, Lu Xun became invincible on the Yangtze River and could naturally resist Wang Shi.
"Hehehe..."
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing proudly.
Although this news shows that Lu Xun has no intention of surrendering to him again, it also proves that Lu Xun is also afraid of the chain warships!
"King Wei, please spare your life! The little one... The little one was really sent by Military Advisor Guo!"
The soldier was so frightened that his nose burst into tears and he kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy, regardless of the sword on his neck.
I thought that at most I would be thrown out by Xiahou Dun, but I didn't expect that my life would be in danger!
"Forget it, I'll give you a chance!"
"Since Fengxiao asked you to come, tell me why you should burn such an invincible warship on the Yangtze River?"
Cao Cao was not showing mercy, but was prepared to completely expose Lu Xun's conspiracy to boost morale.
After three days, use this spy as a sacrificial flag and kill Lu Xun!
"Thank you, King Wei! Thank you, King Wei!"
Xiaobing thanked God. Fortunately, Guo Jia told him the reason when he left.
Otherwise, today will be a waste of time!
"Commander Guo said that this series of warships was Lu Xun's trick!"
"It is true that the power of the warships is greatly increased when they are connected, but they are very afraid of the enemy's fire attack! Once the fire breaks out, the warships can only watch being burned when they are connected!"
"With the fire, the navy will definitely be in chaos, and Lu Xun will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack!"
silence. . .
The generals in the tent fell into a daze one after another, with reflections of flames constantly in their eyes, as if they saw a scene of a fire burning above the Yangtze River.
Cao Cao himself was stunned on the spot, his breathing stagnated, and his brain also lost the ability to think.
Fire attack?
After a long time, Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu.
"Zhongde...what's the current direction of the Yangtze River wind?"
Cheng Yu trembled first, and then the corners of his eyes twitched.
"King Wei...it seems...it seems like...the southeast wind..."
At this time, a gust of wind happened to blow, lifting the curtain of the handsome tent and blowing into Cao Cao's face.
For a moment, Cao Cao seemed to see the scene of the water village.
Immediately, there was a shock.
Isn’t this exactly the southeast wind?
From Chibi to Wulin Water Village, and then from Wulin Water Village to Wulin Camp!
"What...what should I do...?"
Cao Cao's eyes were dull, and he looked at Cheng Yu and let out a soul torture.
what to do?
Cheng Yu also wanted to ask Cao Cao!
Five hundred warships are nailed together, you ask me what to do?
Seeing that Cheng Yu was silent, Cao Cao turned to look at Yu Jin and Mao Jie.
"You two are naval commanders, what should we do?"
In Jin, Mao Jie lowered his head one after another, his mouth full of bitterness.
what to do?
We don’t know what to do either!
If conditions hadn't allowed it, even one of the five hundred warships would have been lost!
Now ask what to do, who knows what to do!
Just in time, another gust of wind blew and hit Cao Cao's face again.
Immediately, there was another shock.
Today the wind is from the southeast, which means that Cao Jun is in danger of being burned by fire!
The iron-chained warships changed from an invincible weapon in the Yangtze River to Cao Cao's life-threatening talisman in an instant!
Cao Cao felt more and more uncomfortable as he thought about it, and then he made a dull sound.
"Well..."
Then he collapsed to the ground with an extremely painful expression, and his facial features were tightly wrinkled together.
When he thought about wasting more than 100,000 lives to build a series of warships, he was actually being teased by Lu Xun!
Cao Cao had a splitting headache and felt as if a sledgehammer had hit his chest.
From this moment on, the new pillar of shame was taken over by Cao Cao.
Lu Xun faced off against Lu Xun with an army of nearly 200,000 men, but the other side used a trick, resulting in more than 150,000 casualties!
Except for the 20,000 to 30,000 people who died in battle, the rest were all willing, happy, and urged by Cao Cao to go and die!
The great reputation of King Wei was ruined in one day!
Cao Cao couldn't imagine what his subordinates would think of him after he returned like this.
Emperor Liu Xie was afraid that he would laugh to death in the palace.
The three states in Hebei have just been pacified. Will there be unrest due to huge casualties?
Will people from all over the Central Plains have strange thoughts towards the Cao family because of such a tragic defeat?
If they burn the boats and escape, not to mention Jiangxia County, Nan County will be able to hold on with great difficulty.
Instead of gaining a county, Jiujiang County was lost. . .
Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt like the world was spinning and he wanted to hit his head on the table and die.
The dignified King of Wei was fooled around by children and brats. What a shame and humiliation!
"I regret that I didn't listen to the words of filial piety, and that's why I ended up like this!"
Cao Cao was so distraught that he couldn't help but let out a long sigh looking up to the sky.
If we had listened to Guo Jia and retreated as soon as possible, would we have killed and injured more than 100,000 people in vain?
If I had listened to Guo Jia earlier and not launched the Southern Expedition, no one would have died!
All the efforts of the whole country were spent on food, grass and baggage, but the result was to sink corpses in the Yangtze River?
Cao Cao's army of 250,000 troops, 20,000 surrender troops, and 30,000 partial troops, totaled 300,000 troops.
Now there are only 70,000 casualties left.
Including the civilian casualties, the casualties in this battle exceeded 300,000!
Even Cao Cao, who has a great family and a great business, cannot bear this kind of loss.
This battle almost wiped out the elite of Cao's army.
In the next five years, self-protection will be a huge problem, not to mention expanding territory!
Cao Cao successfully experienced the situation Liu Zhang faced after capturing Guanzhong with his own stupidity.
At this time, Cao Cao fully understood Xu Shu's viciousness and Guo Jia's wisdom and foresight.
It became clearer that the Southern Expedition was completely a cunning plan and a trap dug by Liu Zhang for him!
"hateful...!"
Cao Cao cursed angrily, his voice full of unwillingness.
Until now, he still doesn't understand what prompted him to go further and further down the road of despair!
At this moment, another soldier suddenly broke in outside the tent.
"To report to the King of Wei, General Cao Ren sent a letter on horseback. It is said to be written by Pang Tong, the military advisor of Qin's Eastern Army, to the King of Wei!"
Another letter!
At this moment, Cao Cao's head was buzzing when he heard the word "xin".
But Pang Tong's letter cannot be ignored.
At this time, if Pang Tong launches an attack, it will be a disaster for Cao Cao!
"Yuan Rang, read!"
Xiahou Dun did not dare to hesitate and quickly took it from the soldier.
What a coincidence, it turned out to be a brocade silk too!
The different texture and feel are obviously stronger than the brocade silk used by Lu Xun.
After all, the land of Shu is rich in Shu Brocade.
Xiahou Dun fiddled with the brocade silk, which made Cao Cao very angry and scolded him immediately.
"hurry up!"
"Ah...yes!"
As soon as he opened it, Xiahou Dun was stunned and froze on the spot.
When Cao Cao saw this, he became even more anxious.
"Read it quickly!"
