The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 274 One mountain is higher than the other
Zhang Liao was also standing by the river with his hands behind his back. He nodded to Gan Ning and said:
"This battle was brutal. How much damage did the enemy and we suffer?"

Gan Ning also quickly replied:

"General, Zhou Yu managed to escape from the siege last night."

"We ran into General Wen's troops halfway along the way."

"The number of Jiangdong rats who managed to escape south was only a dozen or so on the boat!"

"Although I don't know whether Zhou Yu is alive or dead."

"But five hundred ships came, and a dozen left."

"The elite troops of Jiangdong led by Zhou Yu were almost wiped out!"

"Although our army's camp was destroyed, the casualties were no more than 5,000."

"We also captured more than 10,000 enemy soldiers and hundreds of warships."

“This is such a resounding victory!”

"Good!" Zhang Liao couldn't help but applaud when he heard it.

Although Gan Ning is young, he is impulsive and warlike.

But he is still quite good at water battles.

Zhang Liao saw everything that happened last night.

Although they had a great advantage, the Jiangdong navy was very brave.

Even Zhang Liao couldn't help feeling a little frightened.

Zhou Gongjin can be said to be a rare talent among men.

In this fatal situation, he was able to remain calm and decisive and break out of the encirclement.

Facing such an opponent, Zhang Liao couldn't help but feel a little admiration!

You know, they rely on their military advantage.

This result was achieved because the enemy was tired and caught off guard.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao patted Gan Ning on the shoulder:

"Xingba has worked hard all night, take a short rest first."

"Report this battle to the Prime Minister after the battle."

"I will ask for a reward for your merits. You should be the first to win the merit in this battle."

When Gan Ning heard this, he was actually flattered for a moment.

Then there was a look of ecstasy!
Looking at the boy's changing expression, Zhang Liao couldn't help laughing.

But then, he looked at the river full of corpses.

Gan Ning couldn't help but sigh:

"Without the guidance of Sima Military Advisor."

"I'm afraid that after last night, Jingzhou will really be lost."

"Without the general's trust, how could I have accomplished this great feat?"

Having witnessed this great victory, Gan Ning admired Sima De.

It has also risen to a level that cannot be surpassed.

There were some things he couldn't understand before.

Now all of it was cleared up and appeared before him.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao nodded silently.

After what happened last night.

He now has great respect for the young military advisor.

It is said that those who do not plan for eternity are not worthy of planning for the present.

Those who do not plan for the overall situation cannot plan for one area.

At this time, in Zhang Liao's view, this wise man surpassed all the talents in the world.

That's really like turning one's hand to make clouds and one's hand to make rain.

He can make plans from thousands of miles away and destroy an army in the blink of an eye.

Those rumors that were circulating before.

What kind of ghost tiger can rule the country?

Zhang Liao was still a little skeptical, but after tonight, he believed it all.

"Sima Bada's six sons are the best."

"A genius like Mr. Sima."

"There is truly no one in the world who can match him!"

Zhang Liao also expressed his sincere emotion at this time.

……

On the other side, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are vast and mighty.

More than a dozen devastated ships floated downstream.

And every ship was carrying disabled and wounded soldiers.

They were all dejected and couldn't help crying.

Thirty thousand brothers went to the battle, but only less than eight thousand were left when they returned!
Those who died in battle and were thrown into the river.

They are not only their comrades-in-arms, but also their neighbors, fellow villagers, and even cousins...

At this time, Zhou Gongjin, who commanded the entire army, was sitting alone at the bow.

His hair was disheveled and his expression was sad.

The whole person seems to have lost his soul!
"Grand Commander!" The veteran Huang Gai couldn't bear it at this moment.

I couldn't help but step forward to comfort him: "General! Victory and defeat are common in the military."

"How can a man be so dejected?!"

Zhou Yu couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, and said with a sad smile:

"All the soldiers followed me to attack the enemy camp, but now we are on the verge of defeat."

"Thirty thousand soldiers left, and eight thousand remnants returned..."

"How can I, Zhou Gongjin, face the people of Jiangdong again?!"

By the end, the Jiangdong commander-in-chief could no longer hold back his tears.

Huang Gai also squatted down after hearing this, and said with some sighs:

"General, there is a master among Cao's troops."

"It can predict our actions in advance."

"We have tried our best, and this loss is not unfair."

At this point, Huang Gai paused and reminded:

"Has the Grand Commander forgotten the defeat of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was stunned!

Could it be that Liu Bei suffered heavy casualties and fled to Xinye in defeat?

And his disastrous defeat on the river today.

Are they all the work of Sima De alone?

If that's the case, then...

Isn't this person too scary?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but remember that comment.

Sima Kui is the most talented person in the world, and Zhou Lang of Jiangdong is only second to him.

Could it be that the famous Nanyang scholar Xu Shaocheng didn't deceive me? !

But Sima De had clearly left Jingzhou!

How could he have predicted that he would launch a surprise attack on Wu Lin from thousands of miles away? !

At this moment, a voice came from behind, interrupting Zhou Yu's thoughts.

"Grand Commander..." Zhou Yu looked in the direction of the voice.

It was Lu Meng who came over supporting Han Dang.

Han Dang also had a look on his face at this time, and said helplessly:
"General, our army had the same experience as Liu Bei last night!"

At this time, Lu Meng also echoed:
"A few years ago, Sima De was still under Liu Bei's command."

"This person was behind the battle between our army and Jiangxia Huang Zu."

"This person's tactics are cunning and unpredictable!"

“Always able to predict other people’s next move.”

"Then devise a clever countermeasure!"

"Now that I think about it, we have already fallen into the enemy's trap in the battle last night."

"Ever since General Huang pretended to surrender, he has been murderous at every step."

This Lu Meng was worthy of being the third Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

Even now I realize it belatedly, and I understand the whole story.

But Zhou Yu remained silent after hearing this.

They now all understood that they had really encountered a master in this battle.

Among all the heroes in the world, there is always someone better than you...

At this time, I looked back at the lonely fleet behind me.

Five hundred ships went out and fifteen returned, with nearly 80% of the troops lost!

This battle alone broke the backbone of Jiangdong.

If we want to take the initiative to send troops to Jingzhou again in the future, I don’t know how many years we will have to wait!
When Zhou Yu thought of this, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

He couldn't help but sighed to the sky, "Oh, great heaven, how could you be so unkind to me?!"

By noon, the fog on the river bank had dissipated.

Several warships also braved the wind and waves and returned to Jiangdong.

The leader was Cheng Pu, who was in charge of covering the retreat last night.

Cheng Pu is indeed a veteran on the battlefield.

Last night I took the initiative to fight with Wen Pin.

After achieving the purpose of covering Zhou Yu's retreat, he decisively jumped into the river, seized the boat and escaped.

But when Cheng Pu entered the Jiangdong Water Fort.

I immediately noticed that there were white prayer flags hanging at the camp gate and everyone was wearing mourning clothes.

Seeing this, Cheng Pu immediately realized that something was wrong!
Could it be that something happened to the Grand Commander?
After he hurriedly entered the central army camp.

Suddenly, he saw the Jiangdong soldiers, all of them looked dejected as if they had lost their parents.

Lu Su and Lu Meng looked solemn.

Then I saw Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang and others standing outside the central army tent with sad faces.

Cheng Pu also grabbed Xu Sheng's shoulders and asked:

"What the hell is going on?! What on earth is going on?"

"What the hell are you bastards crying about?!"
