Petty profit
In terms of war, in fact, Cao Cao's army was at a disadvantage due to various unfavorable factors.

If things go on like this, Cao Cao's army will definitely make mistakes in the battle of defending the city, which will lead to the loss of Wancheng.

In order to avoid this situation, Sun Quan could guess Cao Cao's thoughts in a certain sense.

Because if he succeeded in killing Chen Qing, then no matter how much advantage Sun Quan had on the Wancheng battlefield, he would have to face a terrifying man.

Zheng Rui!

No.1 in the world!
A man of God who can stand against an army of millions!
But now there are only so many Sun Quan's troops, a mere 40!

And among these 40 horses, how many can be used, this number is only half!
20 million!
Sun Quan, who had seen Zheng Rui's terrifying strength, knew how heaven-defying and terrifying Zheng Rui's strength was, and it was precisely because he had seen Zheng Rui's strength that he was so afraid.

After all, Cao Cao led 85 Cao Cao's troops southward before, but they came back defeated because of an encounter with Zheng Rui.

This is Cao Cao's shame, and it is also the recognition of Zheng Rui's strength.

His army of 85 was defeated when facing Zheng Rui, let alone his mere 20.

Sun Quan had an extremely accurate understanding of Zheng Rui's strength and his own. He knew that even if he put all his strength into action, the 40 troops could move, but he still couldn't defeat Zheng Rui.

But when they heard that Sun Quan asked them to give advice, all the civil and military ministers in Sun Quan's army fell into entanglement.

After all, although Sun Quan's army has not taken much advantage of Cao Cao's army, they have suppressed Cao Cao's army anyway. Although the suppression is small, it is enough to see that it only takes time to defeat Cao Cao's army and win the world. Opportunity.

Because everyone knows that as long as the defense line of Wancheng is broken, Sun Quan's army will have a chance to threaten Xuchang.

Xuchang is the heart of Cao Cao's army.

If Xuchang is breached, it will be a stab in the heart of Cao Cao's army, and it will be a fatal stab.

After this knife, Cao Cao's army will no longer have the ability to come back to life after losing the Battle of Chibi like before.

What is waiting for Cao Cao's army is to be gradually suppressed by Sun Quan's army and die.

Knowing these reasons, the civil and military personnel of Sun Quan's army are also struggling to give up the advantage they have in front of them temporarily, so as to protect Chen Qing who is now in Xinye with all his strength.

Because this choice is extremely important, to protect Chen Qing means that Sun Quan's army will have to bear the bitter fruit of the failure of the battle to attack Wancheng.

If he didn't protect Chen Qing, Sun Quan would have to bear the consequences of facing Zheng Rui.

Ok.

Both options are not so friendly to Sun Quanjun. After all, no matter which one you choose, it will be torture to Sun Quanjun.

But Sun Quan had no choice. If he didn't make a choice, it would be the worst thing for Sun Quan's army.

Because the primary and secondary are not clear, even the coach himself doesn't know what to do, let alone the soldiers below are even more confused.

And Zhou Yu said at this time: "My lord, in fact, we have to choose what to do. If we still don't know what to do next? What to do is the most detrimental thing to our Sun Quanjun, so I think our lord We should choose to protect Chen Qing, after all, as long as Chen Qing is fine, it is the most powerful thing for us, because the strength of Cao Cao's army depends on where it is, even if we don't attack Wancheng, Cao Cao will not dare to act rashly against us."

"It can be said that our Sun Quan army has now firmly controlled Jingzhou in our own hands, and Cao Cao has no such intentions to deal with us. What Cao Cao wants to do most now is to cease the war. Once the war ceases, it will not benefit him much. That said, the soldiers under his command have been fighting for so long. They are much more exhausted than us, at most, after this incident, our two armies just confronted each other in Wancheng, without any loss at all."

"What's more, we can send some troops to Wancheng to harass him at any time. As long as we continue to harass him, we can cause trouble to Cao Cao's army and reduce the strength of Cao Cao's army. So what I mean is, temporarily give up on Wan The attack on the city, so as not to give Cao Cao a chance to attack Chen Qing and finally let us take the blame and get into such a big trouble with Zheng Rui. Once Zheng Rui gets into trouble, it will be a disaster for our Sun Quan army. Now we We should not be entangled in a small amount of profit, but have a longer-term vision, so that our Sun Quan army can go further!"

Zhou Yu's analysis of the pros and cons in front of him is very thorough.

After considering all the factors, he opened his mouth to speak,

And what Zhou Yu meant was undoubtedly to give Sun Quan a reminder.

Yes!

The petty profit in front of me can be fought back in the future, so why must I hold on to it.

You must know that Zheng Rui is in greater trouble than Cao Cao's army.

If it is not handled well, it will be a big deal. Of course, Sun Quan can see this problem.

The other civil and military ministers of Sun Quan's army also showed their approval after hearing Zhou Yu's words.

At first they might not be willing to give up the advantage they have in the Wancheng battlefield, but after hearing what Zhou Yu said, it is true that if they continue to use this advantage, they will get into trouble like Zheng Rui, which is the most important thing. scary thing.

So these civil and military ministers also said loudly: "My lord, we agree with the governor's proposal, temporarily abandon the attack on Wancheng, and fully protect Chen Qing who lives in Xinye. After Chen Qing leaves our territory, we will continue to attack Wancheng." attack!"

With Zhou Yu's words, everyone knew what to do.

Sun Quan glanced at his brother gratefully, nodded and said: "Yes, what the governor said is very reasonable, and you have also told the soldiers under your command that we temporarily give up the attack on Wancheng, it is not us Afraid of Cao Cao's army, but Zheng Rui's follower of the family in Xinye, we have to guard against Cao Cao's attack on Zheng Rui's follower of the family, so as to plant the guy on us!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Everyone responded.

And when Sun Quanjun began to discuss how to protect Chen Qing, Cao Cao also received a report from a secret agent lurking in Xinye.

Cao Cao is a person who attaches great importance to intelligence work.

And the same is true of the princes of the whole world.

After all, if you don't know your opponent's situation, you can't be blind.

So before the war with Sun Quanjun, Cao Cao had already sent spies to infiltrate Xinye, Sun Quanjun's rear area, and began to collect intelligence.

But now that the two armies are already confronting each other, the intelligence collected is actually of no help to the war.

But today Cao Cao's dedication has paid off.

Because he knew a big thing, that is, Zheng Rui followed Chen Qing, the patriarch of the aristocratic family, not to mention appearing in Xinye, and even staying in Xinye.

This is something that is enough to make Cao Cao jump up happily.

From this incident, Cao Cao saw the positive side of Dudi.

Because he can take advantage of this incident and deal a serious blow to Sun Quanjun.

If you think about it, Chen Qing, who was Zheng Rui's follower of the patriarch of the family, was killed on Sun Quan's territory, would Zheng Rui be angry?
This is completely unnecessary to think about.

After all, Cao Cao knew Zheng Rui's protective personality very well. If there was someone who moved him, Zheng Rui would definitely come to him.
