Chapter 445 Smile
...

Cao Cao, who was riding on his horse, looked at the retreating Ji Ling army in the distance with a smile on his face.

"Zhongde, look at Ji Ling's army. They no longer have the military discipline of the past. They can't even retreat in an orderly manner. Victory is within grasp, hahaha..." Cao Cao pointed the riding whip in his hand at Ji Ling's army and shouted unscrupulously. Laughed out loud.

After Cheng Yu heard this, he didn't think much about it. After a little observation of Ji Ling's army, he found that after they had truly retreated, he was ready to chase them down.

Under Cao Cao's laughter, the expressions of all the generals became a little brighter, and their morale also expanded.

Pursuing him now is equivalent to getting credit for free. How many chances are there for such a thing?
In this case, the generals quickly requested a battle, and their desire for battle was extremely strong.

Cao Cao looked at the generals under his command with such a mentality, and it became even more difficult to conceal the will in his heart.

He directly put down the riding crop in his hand, pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed the tip of the sword forward, and shouted loudly, "Generals, follow my orders and attack with me!"

Cao Cao, who was already excited and whose IQ had dropped, issued such an order without hesitation.

Under such an order, the morale of both generals and soldiers has been greatly improved.

Even the speed of chasing Ji Ling became faster.

Cheng Yu, who was on the side, did not stop Cao Cao from doing this.

In Cheng Yu's view, Cao Cao's behavior is more conducive to Cao Cao's prestige in the army and better command of the army.

Besides, Cao Cao is charging forward, how dare the other generals not fight tooth and nail?

What's more, chasing down the defeated army is simply a waste of effort, and there is no danger.

"Gong Jin, is it really useful for us to ambush here in advance?" Sun Ce held the spear in his hand, looked at the silent and deserted wilderness, and said with some worry.

Zhou Yu looked calmly at the sky and said calmly, "As long as General Ji passes here, it will be useful."

Sun Ce scratched his head, thought of the previous arrangement, and asked casually, "How should we pursue it under such a fire?"

"With the fire raging, why pursue it?" Zhou Yu asked rather casually.

Sun Ce opened his mouth, was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.

"The war has lasted long enough and must be stopped. Only in this way can both sides have a chance to recuperate." Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce and said calmly.

If there is no chance to recuperate, Sun Ce will always stay on the front line, just like an ordinary general, always serving Yuan Shu.

But this kind of behavior was not what Zhou Yu wanted to see. In order to legitimately retreat, he had to end the war and control the behavior of the war.

When the time comes, further restraint will be used to provoke a fight from the other side, and then Sun Ce will be moved over.

As long as he grasps it well, in just one year, he, Zhou Yu, can lead Sun Ce and sweep the entire Jiangdong. By then, even if he has a basic base of his own, he will be qualified to compete for the world.

Continuing to fight would have no other benefit except adding some battlefield experience to Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu didn't want to waste too much time here. After all, even if he defeated Cao Cao, Sun Ce wouldn't get anything.

Sun Ce nodded seriously and did not think deeply. Anyway, what his brother said was right, and his brother was far smarter than him. How could he use his brain in this situation?
It's so tiring to use your head. With his brother Zhou Yu here, it will be whatever Zhou Yu says. There is no need to use your head at all.Looking at Sun Ce's appearance, Zhou Yu could only sigh. This kind of behavior could be regarded as absolute trust in himself.It's understandable and acceptable.

Accompanied by torches along the way, Ji Ling's army appeared on the horizon under the bright moonlight, appearing somewhat chaotic and disorderly.

"When did General Ji bring the army to this point?" Sun Ce relied on his excellent physical fitness to see the chaos in Ji Ling's army at a glance, and said in disbelief.

As a general under Yuan Shu, Ji Ling had a relatively strong control over his troops. How could such a chaotic situation occur?

Zhou Yu then changed his gaze, looked at Ji Ling's army, then looked at the soldiers around him, and said calmly, "March at night, even if there are torches and bright moonlight, this situation is considered normal."

After all, the vast majority of soldiers cannot be seen at night. As for the reason, even Zhou Yu is not clear about it.

As for Sun Ce, that's even less clear.

The situations handed down from ancient times to the present reflect a situation where most people cannot see at night, which is a very normal situation.

Faced with this common problem, even Zhou Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with this situation.

After hearing this, Sun Ce simply nodded and said, "General Ji's army is coming. Cao Cao's army must be behind, so I have to prepare."

Seeing this, Zhou Yu did not stop him. He shook his head calmly and turned to look at the horizon. More and more torches gradually appeared in front of him.

Silently mobilize your energy to render this world, adjust the direction of the wind, and play its due role when necessary.

Cao Cao led the army and defeated the army left by Ji Ling to break up the rear, and completely entered a state of excitement.

He was even more convinced that Ji Ling's army was truly retreating, and its morale had already entered a state of turmoil.

In this case, facing the victory that was within reach, Cao Cao's generals were all excited.

Faced with such easy success, a few people can withstand the temptation.

Especially Ji Ling's behavior all verifies this authenticity.

What's more, the letter from Xun You also proves the authenticity of this matter.

Even if Ji Ling still has an army in his hands, he still has some combat effectiveness without food.

In this situation, Cao Cao no longer wanted to compete with his subordinates for credit, so he had to be generous when it was time to be generous.

Then he completely relaxed the restraints on his generals and allowed them to lead their own troops to hunt down Ji Ling.

Cao Cao himself, on the other hand, marched slowly, on the one hand to maintain Cao Cao's majesty, and on the other hand to provide information to the generals.

Even though Cao Cao, whose IQ has declined, made his choice instinctively.

Cao Cao, who was in an excited state, laughed loudly as he looked at the generals who were walking away.

"Hahahaha... Ji Ling is brave but without any strategy, how can he be my opponent?" Cao Cao said with a laugh.
