After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Page 135

"A brilliant plan!" Cao Cao laughed, "Huang Gai couldn't have expected this move, and Zhou Yu couldn't have expected it!"

Liu Xian nodded with a smile: "The second step is to send troops to block Zhou Yu's retreat route from Sanjiangkou by land. You can order Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Xu Huang to go forward!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "In this way, Zhou Yu will be blocked from retreating both by water and by land!"

"That's right!" Liu Xian nodded, "The third step is to send troops from Jingnan to act ahead of time. When the Sanjiangkou is on fire, attack Chaisang City at night and take Sun Quan directly. Even if Zhou Yu retreats to Chaisang, he will still be in bad luck!"

"Crack!" Cao Cao slapped the table excitedly, "This is really the best strategy!"

Liu Xian also said: "From Jingnan to Sanjiangkou, it takes a few strong generals to adapt to the situation before we can win!"

Cao Cao said: "Sir, can someone choose?"

Liu Xiandao: "Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, Xu Chu's tiger guard battalion, Zhao Yun's white horse righteous follower, these three are all fierce generals, not many soldiers, but good soldiers!"

"Okay!" Cao Cao nodded, "With these three generals, Chaisang may be able to break through. I'm afraid Liu Bei will stop our army from moving forward again!"

Liu Xian bowed his hands: "If the Prime Minister does not give up, I am willing to accompany the three generals to attack Chaisang City at night as a supervisor and steal Sun Quan's lair!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Mr. is selfless, you must go here!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Liu Xian immediately waved his hands.

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and signaled: "Sir, take food, and drink, sir!"

Liu Xian also said politely: "Prime Minister drinks, and Prime Minister eats vegetables!"

"Hahaha!" Both of them laughed loudly.

In the middle of the night, Cao Cao returned to the tent of the Chinese army, and sent someone to invite Pang Tong again.

"I've seen the prime minister!" Pang Tong cupped his hands to signal.

Cao Cao patted the bed: "You are welcome, sir, lie down!"

Pang Tong tightened his back, and sat down on the bed carefully.

Cao Chadao: "Mr. has suggested that all the warships have been connected together. I want to use the first battle to test the results. What do you think?"

"Of course!" Pang Tong smiled: "It should be like this!"

"Okay!" Cao Cao nodded, "Then go to bed early, and follow me to order soldiers tomorrow!"

Pang Tong: "???"

"Come on!" Cao Cao said.

"Obey!" Pang Tong cupped his hands and lay helplessly beside Cao Cao.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao raised his account to discuss matters.

Civil servants and military generals are listed on the left and right sides.

Pang Tong is waiting by Cao Cao's side, with a detached position.

Civil servants and military generals looked around at each other, and found that the military adviser who had just taken office offered wine and didn't come to discuss matters.

This shows that he has been completely abandoned by the prime minister.

This is good news for everyone.

Cao Cao said bluntly: "Scholar Yuan offered the strategy of connecting iron chains, and our soldiers got rid of the problem of seasickness. I intend to fight Zhou Yu with the results of the small test. What do you think?"

Zhang Yun, the captain of the navy, was the first to stand up: "Prime Minister, brothers have been waiting for a long time to fight Zhou Yu, and we are waiting for your words!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed.

Ever since Cai Mao went to Xudu, this Zhang Yun has followed his advice.

Even the big and small matters in the military are actively delegated to Wenpin.

This also made Cao Cao extremely satisfied with Zhang Yun.

Cao Cao asked, "Who is willing to go?"

"Prime Minister, the two of us are willing to lead our troops there!"

At this time, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang stood up.

These two were originally Yuan Shang's former troops. Because they surrendered in time, they helped Cao Cao capture Handan City, and they can be regarded as heroes.

Cao Cao shook his head: "The two of you are all soldiers from the north, and both of you are soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River. Do you have a chance of winning?"

Lu Kuang said: "Prime Minister, since the confrontation, our army has got rid of illnesses and practiced day and night, and we are only short of a battle with Zhou Yu!"

Lu Xiang said, "Zhou Yu beat Cai Mao in a surprise attack at Sanjiangkou. The two of us don't need chained warships. We only need [-] fast boats to defeat the Jiangdong water army!"

"Okay!" Cao Cao said: "Your courage is commendable. You two should go back to the camp and order troops. I will watch the battle from the top of the mountain!"

"Obey!" The second general cupped his fists and quickly exited the big tent.

Cao Cao said again: "Wenpin listens to the order!"

"The end is here!" Wen Pin clasped his fists to signal.

Cao Cao said: "You lead Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan sends out a series of chain warships to meet them, just in case of accidents!"

"Obey!" Wen Pin clasped his fists and led Huang Zhong and Wei Yan out of the big tent.

Afterwards, Cao Cao followed Wenwu to the high platform and looked in the direction of Sanjiangkou.

An hour later, the war drums sounded.

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang led twenty fast boats out of the water village and headed straight for Sanjiangkou.

The Jiangdong Army has soldiers patrolling the river every day.

When the patrolling sailors saw Cao Jun attacking from the water village, they immediately reported to Sanjiangkou.

Zhou Yu immediately ordered Han Dang and Zhou Tai to go to the battle, bringing his own civil and military and other high mountains to watch the battle.

Zhou Tai and Han Dang each led ten warships out of Sanjiangkou for a water battle.

Not long after, he met two brothers, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang.

Han Dang and Zhou Tai ordered people to shoot arrows.

The Lu brothers blocked it with their shields.

Han Dang immediately led his men to detour behind Lu Kuang's warship, boarded the enemy ship quickly, and fought Lu Kuang at close range.

Lu Kuang threw away his shield and took out his spear to fight Han Dang.

The two fought for several rounds regardless of their superiority.

But at this time, the Jiangdong warship suddenly rammed obliquely.

Lu Kuang's feet were unstable, and he quickly fell back.

Han Dang seized the opportunity and shot Lu Kuang through the chest.

Han Dang led his troops to kill Lu Kuang's men and seized the warship.

Seeing that his brother was killed, Lu Xiang charged Han Dang in his boat.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Tai led his boat to block the way, and jumped onto the enemy boat to fight Lu Xiang decisively.

The two fought for only ten rounds before Lu Xiang was hacked to death by Zhou Tai.

Both generals died in the hands of the enemy, and Cao's soldiers retreated in fear.

Zhou Tai and Han Dang pursued the victory.

Seeing this, Wenpin immediately led a series of chain warships to attack.

Huang Zhong is on the left, Wei Yan is on the right, and Wen Pin is in the middle.

The warships are connected together, condescending.

As soon as Han Dang and Zhou Tai approached the battleship formation, they were mercilessly shot by bows and arrows.

The two will resist with shields.

Wenpin ordered to throw stones again.

The trebuchets on each warship played a role.

"Tom tom tom!"

Countless stones smashed into the Jiangdong boat one after another.

Ships were smashed and leaked, and soldiers were thrown into the water.

Han Dang and Zhou Tai had no choice but to retreat with their troops and recover Sanjiangkou all the way.

Seeing this, Wenpin did not continue to pursue, but ordered to withdraw his troops.

On the top of Jiangxia Mountain, seeing that his side had won, Cao Cao's civil servants and generals were all cheering.

Chapter 180 The final deployment of the two armies, planned by Liu Xian's army

"Congratulations, Prime Minister, congratulations, Prime Minister!"

"The formation of chained warships with iron chains is extremely powerful, and Jiangdong is irresistible!"

"With this iron chain warship formation, Jiangdong will be flattened in the future!"

Cao Cao smiled, "It's all due to Mr. Fengchu!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone turned their heads to flatter Pang Tong.

"Mr. is really a strange person!"

"Mister should have come to my Cao Ying long ago!"

"Zi Yi is right, the post of military officer offering sacrifices to wine will belong to Mr. sooner or later!"

Pang Tong, who was sought after by everyone, did not look very good at this time, and even felt a little guilty.

No one doesn't like to be flattered. The problem is that once the northwest wind dies, Cao Jun will be destroyed.

He was hesitating, should he tell Cao Cao?

Civil servants and military generals went down the mountain one after another.

Cheng Yu chased after Cao Cao.

"Is something wrong with Zhong De?" Cao Cao asked.

Cheng Yu said: "Prime Minister, although the iron chain formation is good, but this place is mostly northwest wind, if Zhou Yu attacks with fire, our army will undoubtedly be defeated!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Zhongde's worries are not unreasonable!"

Cheng Yu said: "Cheng quite immediately gave up the chain formation!"

Cao Cao shook his head: "Zhongde only knows one thing, but not the other, sir, he already has a countermeasure!"

"Oh?" Cheng Yu was shocked: "Which gentleman?"

"Guess?" Cao Cao smiled slightly, and walked away quickly, leaving behind Cheng Yu who was confused.

Sanjiangkou, Jiangdong Daying.

Han Dang and Zhou Tai knelt in front of Zhou Yu.

"Great Commander, the two of us are ineffective in fighting, and I ask the Commander-in-Chief to surrender!"

"Hahaha!" Zhou Yu laughed loudly: "Please, two generals, this battle is not only innocent but also meritorious!"

Han Dang and Zhou Tai looked at each other, a little confused.

If you lose a battle, what credit do you have?

Zhou Yu said: "One win and one loss is the strategy of our army!"
