Han Shimou

Early the next morning, Lu Su took the order and set off for Xiapi again, and told Zhou Yu to reply. () Cao Cao did not make things difficult, and agreed to Zhou Yu's request.

Lu Su just retreated.Jia Xu cast her eyes on Cao Cao silently and asked in a concentrated voice.

"Zhou Gongjin is superior to others, has unparalleled intelligence, uses soldiers like a god, and hates the king extremely. It is really a serious problem for the king's confidants. If the king let Zhou Gongjin go this time, it would be like letting a tiger go back to the mountain. Wait for him to develop strength, Zhou Gongjin will surely Lead the Jiangdong armies to make a comeback!!"

Cao Cao listened to the words, laughed but did not answer.Looking at the murderous smile on Cao Cao's mouth, Jia Xu's expression changed, and he asked Cao Cao anxiously.

"Could it be that the king has already made a decision!?"

Cao Cao's smile suddenly became bright, and he laughed.

"What kind of person Zhou Gongjin is, how can Gu not know. What happened before, Gu is just a play. Gu has never thought that Zhou Gongjin will be ordered to go back to Jiangdong!"

Jia Xu's heart trembled when he heard the words, his brain turned and he analyzed quickly.Suddenly, Jia Xu's eyes lit up, as if he had guessed some clues.

"If Jiangdong wants to withdraw, he must go to the Yangtze River. Zhou Gongjin is afraid that the king will break the contract, so he will not dare to exchange hostages in Xuzhou, so he must ask the king to exchange hostages on the bank of the Yangtze River. Could it be that the king has expected this, so he used the play Confused, wait for them to be unprepared, after exchanging hostages, raise your army to attack, force their army into the Yangtze River, and use the power of the Yangtze River to defeat the other army!!?"

Cao Cao narrowed his frightening eyes, smiled coldly, and said in a concentrated voice.

"That's right. Take advantage of his unpreparedness and attack him with all his strength, he will definitely kill the other army without leaving any armor, and capture and kill that Zhou Gongjin!"

"Your Majesty predicts things like a god, so it's not as good as the truth!"

When Jia Xu heard the words, she was astonished as a heavenly man, and she bowed in salute.

Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero in the world, his strategy is so high that even the advisers under his command are deceived by him.

Let's say that after Zhou Yu got the reply, he ordered the army to withdraw at the border of Xuzhou that night.Cao Ren received Cao Cao's order early, and he did not send troops to chase him down.Zhou Yu divided the army into three divisions. Zhou Tai and Han Dang were the front army, Zhou Yu and generals Ling Tong and Ding Feng led the central army, and Lu Meng and Lu Xun were the rear army to guard against Cao's attack.

Zhou Yu withdrew his troops cautiously along the way, and Lu Meng, who was in command of the rear army, sent many scouts along the road to scout in all directions, marching carefully.About seven or eight days later, Zhou Yu's army withdrew to the bank of the Yangtze River. Zhuge Jin received the order early and pulled 120 fast boats to meet on the bank.

On the bank of the Yangtze River, the raging waves beat the table, and the wind and sand rolled.Zhou Yu stood under the gate flag, Jiangdong's generals lined up, and behind him Jiangdong's troops formed a formation.

On the other side, Cao Cao personally led Cao Ren, Xiahou brothers, Zhang Jai, Yu Jin and other generals to stand under the gate flag. If there is any movement, the two armies will fight to the death. **

Zhuge Jin's heart was beating secretly, and his spirit was highly concentrated. On that day, he received Zhou Yu's order and learned that his master, Sun Bofu, was dead.The army was in an emergency situation, and Zhou Yu had temporarily made peace with Cao Jun, but Zhou Yu was afraid that Cao Cao would cheat, so he ordered Zhuge Jin to ambush as many police soldiers as possible in the boat when he came to meet him, just in case of accidents.Due to time constraints, and the previous Sun Ce transferred most of the soldiers, Zhuge Jin only raised more than [-] elite soldiers.At this time, all the more than ten thousand elite soldiers were in ambush inside the ship, waiting for orders.

Cao Cao was wearing a Jin Kai black robe, and he was domineering. He silently cast a look at Cao Ren behind him, and Cao Ren understood.Cao Cao then patted his horse and went out into battle, drew out the Yitian sword in one hand, and asked Zhou Yu to come out to answer.

Wearing red robe and silver armor, Zhou Yu was elegant, handsome and majestic, like a general in the sky, and immediately came out to answer the question.Zhou Yu suppressed his anger for a while, Jun's face was expressionless, and he saluted Cao Cao first.Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Yu secretly. Seeing that Zhou Yu was born handsome and unrestrained, with hidden secrets in his belly, and a heroic spirit, he praised him in his heart.

The two looked at each other for a while, Cao Cao laughed and spoke first.

"Haha. Everyone in the world says that Zhou Lang is the most wise man in the world. I saw him today, and it is true. If it weren't for the unfavorable situation in Xuzhou, Yuzhou must have fallen into Zhou Lang's hands at this time, approaching the Central Plains, catching Gu by surprise!"

Zhou Yu didn't feel happy when he heard the words, but felt that Cao Cao was secretly sarcastic.Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with cupped hands.

"The king of Wei praises it. Yu has a grudge that cannot be revenged. He is ashamed of his predecessor. He only hates bad luck. If Yu sent rescue troops at that time, he would have rushed to Xiapi one day earlier. It must be a different situation at this time. Lying in the coffin Maybe it's not my lord, but you, King Wei!"

As soon as Zhou Yu's words fell, the faces of the generals in Cao's army changed drastically. Xiahou Dun stared at him, pointed his gun at Zhou Yu, and shouted sharply.

"Zhou Gongjin, you are presumptuous!!!"

Cao Cao was not angry, and lightly raised his hand to signal that Xiahou Dun and the others would not do anything wrong.The smile on Cao Cao's face did not diminish, but he responded frankly.

"That's true. If Zhou Lang's rescue had arrived one day earlier, not only would he have saved Sun Bofu, but it would have been unexpected, and the army's morale would have been in turmoil, and they would have been defeated. At the moment, Zhou Lang, you and your master will gather together and divide the army to pursue and kill them. With your superb strategy, you may not be able to escape death alone, and you will be hated at the hands of Jiangdong Yingjie!

"However, the one standing in the world right now is the orphan. The one lying in the wooden coffin is your master. The matter is a foregone conclusion, this is the fate! Zhou Gongjin, Gu knows that you have hatred in your heart, after you return to Jiangdong , develop strength, if you want to make a comeback and avenge your Lord, I will accompany you at any time!"

Zhou Yu's handsome face twitched when he heard the words, and the anger and hatred in his stomach burned like fire.In the Jiangdong formation, Han Dang, Zhou Tai and the others almost gnawed their steel teeth to pieces, wishing they could rush to Cao Cao and chop him into a pulp.

"Hmph! The king of Wei is so majestic, I hope the king of Wei can guard the land of Xu and Henan for me in Jiangdong. I am a hero in Jiangdong, come and take it sooner or later! Come, bring Cao Zihe!"

Zhou Yu snorted coldly, and without waiting for Cao Cao's response, he gave an order, and the soldiers on the left and right escorted Cao Chun immediately.The Jiangdong army did not give robes and armor, and Cao Chun only wore thin clothes to cover his body.Cao Chun was full of shame and hatred, and was escorted to the front of the battle by two Jiangdong generals.Cao Chun stared fiercely and cursed at Zhou Yu.Zhou Yu ignored him and let Cao Chun insult him in every possible way.

"That's enough! Zihe! He was captured, so why use his tongue again!?"

Cao Chun's angry scolding made Cao Cao displeased.Cao Cao shouted, Cao Chun's mind was shaken, and he didn't dare to make another mistake.Seeing that Cao Chun was so wronged, Cao Zhang hurried out of the battle and said to Cao Cao.

"Father, uncle!"

"Nie Zi shut up!!"

Before Cao Zhang finished speaking, he was scolded by Cao Ao. Cao Zhang was so drunk that Cao Zhang seemed to be in a daze, and Nuonuo retreated into the formation.

Cao Cao's expression froze, and he looked at Zhou Yu, but actually he was secretly looking around at the scene.Cao Cao always felt that apart from the two armies, there was a murderous intent hidden somewhere around.

Just when Cao Caoyu wanted to find out the clue, Zhou Yu urged him.

"King Wei, I will escort Cao Chun here. Why haven't you seen my lord's coffin?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, then retracted his gaze. Right now, he had no choice but to shoot.Cao Cao then ordered the soldiers to move Sun Ce's coffin.With the sound of a drum, the two generals Zhou Tai and Han Dang came out of the battle slowly, looking at Cao Jun's horses and galloped away.Cao Chun was also escorted by two Jiangdong generals, and slowly looked towards Cao's army and left. <Shen Shi was highly concentrated, Yu Jin and Xia Houyuan secretly raised their bows and arrows, watching the two Jiangdong generals who were escorting Cao Chun, ready to shoot at any time.

The sound of the drum gradually became more and more rapid, Zhou Tai and Han Dang stepped forward with whips, and when they came to the place where the two armies faced each other, they saw that the coffin contained the corpse of Sun Ce.Han Dang was hurt by the scene, and his old eyes were crying, and he shouted loudly.

"My lord! Old minister, you go back to Jiangdong~!!!"

After Han Dang finished drinking, he dismounted hastily, Zhou Tai also gritted his teeth, dismounted and together with Han Dang carried Sun Ce's coffin, and rushed to the east of the river.At the same time, Zhou Yu not only did not relax, but became more nervous, staring at Cao Jun's formation.Zhou Tai and Han Dang were the two generals, and it seemed that Cao Jun's murderous spirit was rising suddenly. The two of them had a tacit understanding and ran wildly.

At this moment, Zhou Yu realized that Xia Houyuan and Yu Jin in Cao's formation were aiming at the two generals of his own army who were escorting Cao Chun, and shouted sharply.

"The old thief is cheating!!! All armies are preparing for war!!!"

Zhou Yu yelled, and Jiangdong's generals shouted excitedly. The soldiers of Jiangdong's army hurriedly grabbed their weapons and were ready to fight at any time.At the same time, the arrows on the bowstrings of Xia Houyuan and Yu Jin shot out almost at the same time, like two bright flashes of light, they flew towards the two Jiangdong generals who were guarding Cao Chun.

There were two bursts of '咻咻', and the two Jiangdong generals fell down in response.Cao Chun took advantage of the situation and ran away.Lu Meng and Lu Xun looked grim, and at the same time drew their bows and arrows, aimed at Cao Chun's vest, and shot them together.Two arrows soared into the sky, Cao Chun dodged one arrow, but was shot in the abdomen by the other arrow, and the arrow passed straight through his body.Cao Chun cried out in misery, and fell to the ground on the spot, bleeding profusely, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"uncle!!!!"

Cao Zhang saw that the corners of his eyes were cracked, as if the arrow had been shot at his heart, he let out a loud cry, and rushed towards Cao Chun like a wild beast out of control.Lu Xun and Lu Meng knew Cao Zhang's identity, and when they saw Cao Zhang go to rescue them, they quickly fired arrows, hoping that Cao Zhang would shoot away.Cao Zhang swung his sword and slashed, flew straight to Cao Chun, rescued him, and put him on his horse.Lu Meng and Lu Xun were watching eagerly, and they shot sniper arrows repeatedly. Cao Zhang only focused on Cao Chun. If Wang Yue hadn't arrived in time to pull the sniper arrows out for him, Cao Zhang would have been injured by the sniper arrows long ago.

At the same time, Cao Chun's life and death are uncertain, and his son is in danger.But Cao Cao didn't seem to be distracted by this at all, with a cold face, he swung his sword and shouted sharply.

"The army listened to the order and forced all these Jiangdong rats into the Yangtze River!!!"

Cao Cao gave orders together, the drums were beating loudly, and the sound of shouts of killing swept across the world. Xiahou Brothers, Zhang Jai, Yu Jin and other peerless generals clapped their horses and whipped their whips one after another, fighting to be the first, and rushed out.The horse infantry surged forward, and the soldiers were like bloodthirsty wolves looking forward to the Jiangdong army to kill them.Cao Ren, who was in the rear, waved the red flag, and the ambushes who were ambushing around the mountains and forests swarmed all over the mountains and plains.

For a moment, the entire earth seemed to be trampled and broken by Cao Jun. The earth-shattering shouts of killing, the sound of weapons shaking, and the sound of horseshoes trampling the ground shook the entire Yangtze River as if it was boiling, and the billowing raging waves turned up.

Facing the Cao Jun who was about to collapse, Zhou Yu's face was cold, and he drew his sword without any confusion in the face of danger.Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Ding Feng and others flew out on their horses, while Lu Su, Lu Xun and other advisers hurriedly ordered the troops to change positions.Zhou Tai and Han Dang carried Sun Ce's coffin into the formation, and Zhuge Jin quickly ordered the soldiers to carry it onto the boat and sail across the river first.Zhou Tai and Han Dang quickly got on their horses, shouted in unison, and looked at the battlefield to fly and kill them.

The two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan rushed side by side, and they were about to rush into the front of the Jiangdong formation.Lu Su sternly shouted, and the crossbowmen in the formation shot at random arrows. The Xiahou brothers hurriedly drew their weapons to resist, and pressed forward step by step.As soon as the arrow shot stopped, suddenly Ling Tong and Ding Feng came to kill together. Ling Tong's brows were erected, and Ding Feng's eyes were wide-eyed.Xiahou Dun met Ling Tong and stabbed Ling Tong in the heart with a shot. Ling Tong dodged it, shouted angrily, and swept Xiahou Dun's head with a whip, and Xiahou Dun's chest with a whip.Xiahou Dun leaned over to dodge, dodging the iron whip that was aimed at his head, and swiped with a single shot, blocking the iron whip that was aimed at his chest.Seeing that Ling Tong failed to succeed, he wanted to attack again. Xiahou Dun shot a ray of light from his single eye, swung the steel spear in his hand, and looked at Ling Tong to launch a violent stab.When the spear was like a thunderstorm and when it was raining, Ling was overwhelmed by Xiahou Dun at the same time, so he had to switch from attack to defense.And right next to the two, Xia Houyuan and Ding Feng were also fighting fiercely. Ding Feng's sword dance was swift, and the swords connected with each other without stopping.Xia Houyuan kept his face cold, blocking or dodging, and when Ding Feng's strength weakened a little, Xia Houyuan suddenly counterattacked, and without warning, he stabbed out with a gun, soaring straight to Ding Feng's throat.Ding Feng was startled, Xia Houyuan's spear was frighteningly fast, but fortunately he reacted at the critical moment and shook his head to avoid it.Xiahouyuan's gun flew away, Ding Feng hurriedly swung his knife to look at Xiahouyuan's head and chopped it off.Xia Houyuan quickly retracted his gun and swept away, and then only stayed on the defensive, allowing Ding Feng to attack fiercely, and then waited for an opportunity to counterattack.At first glance, it seems that Ding Feng has the upper hand in the battle between the two, but upon closer inspection, it is not the case. Every time Xia Houyuan makes a counterattack, it must be a fatal move. If Ding Feng is too late to react, he will be injured if he does not die!
