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

Chapter 404: The Incompetent Brother and the Broken Her
As Yu Jin spoke, he pointed into the distance, where the outlines of enemy ships were vaguely visible in the mist.

"Three generations of Jiangdong have managed the country and made it prosperous!"

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh at this time.

"I think of Sun Quan being defeated by me, and all his main forces being annihilated."

"Jiangdong still has such a powerful navy?"

"In comparison, our navy is indeed insufficient."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said:
"Pass the order down, all troops on alert!"

"Lu Su is not a man with great ambitions and little talent like Sun Quan. We must be extremely cautious."

At the same time, Lu Su came along the river from Lujiang.

He also noticed that Cao's fleet was approaching.

As the distance between the two sides shortened, they saw that Cao's army was on high alert and had no intention of invading the south.

Lu Su couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Dong Xi and Ding Feng, tell the whole army to halt five miles away from Cao's army."

These five miles are a safe barrier for the Jiangdong navy upstream.

This is enough for Lu Su to respond to any actions of Cao’s army at any time.

But for Cao's army, these five miles were full of dangers.

After all, they are downstream, and if they want to launch a surprise attack they have to go upstream.

If the Jiangdong navy wants to counterattack, they can take advantage of the water current and the west wind.

Arrived in front of Cao's army in an instant.

Unless, the tactical miracle of the previous few days can be repeated.

God wanted to mess with the mentality of the people in Jiangdong, and suddenly a southeast wind blew.

Help Cao's army go upstream as if they were in an empty land.

Otherwise, 200,000 Cao troops would be defeated at once.

It is really difficult to defeat these 40,000 to 50,000 Jiangdong navy.

"Yes, sir!" The two generals immediately took the order and left.

Lu Su turned to his tribesman Lu Xun and said:

"Shuren, this letter is of great importance."

"You must land immediately with the letter and send it to the Lord of Jing County as soon as possible."

"Tell my lord that I will use all my strength to contain Cao's navy."

"Buy precious time to build the Jiangbei defense line for the lord."

"At this moment, we must not rush for battle."

"If the confrontation between the two families continues for a long time, Cao's army will naturally retreat."

Lu Xun accepted the order and left with the letter in his hand.

Half an hour later, the Jiangdong fleet stopped.

They confronted Cao's army across the turbulent Yangtze River.

At this time, Cao Cao also withdrew his gaze from the distance and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

"This Lu Zijing is truly a rare talent."

"Based on this Wuli Water Formation alone, although it is not as impressive as Zhou Gongjin in the past, it is also enough to be called a famous naval general."

Then he said to Cao Zhang:
"Ziwen, lead three thousand naval forces to challenge."

"Go test Lu Su's strength!"

"Yes, sir!" Cao Zhang agreed readily.

However, within two hours, he returned with a look of frustration on his face.

After all, no matter how he provokes.

The 45,000 Jiangdong warriors were under the command of Lu Su.

Responding with just a rain of arrows left Cao Zhang helpless and he had to return empty-handed.

Sima De, who was standing by, saw this and gradually became cautious.

This is the subtle state of mind when competing with a master.

If Zhou Yu were still alive at this time, he might be more troublesome than Lu Su!

In the historical Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao's army was said to have an army of 800,000.

In fact, there were about 200,000 soldiers capable of fighting, and the allied forces of Sun and Liu had about 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers.

At that time, both sides might have been feeling such indescribable anxiety.

Just as today they face Lu Su's rock-solid defense.

All the plans seemed to be thrown into a bottomless abyss, leaving only echoes but no ripples.

Thinking of this, Sima De also stepped forward.

Facing his father-in-law Cao Cao, he spoke in a serious tone:

"Father-in-law, look at the test just now in front of the battle."

"It can be seen that Nalu Zijing is indeed a steady person."

Cao Cao nodded upon hearing this and said:
"Yes, that's true."

Seeing this, Sima De continued, "When dealing with such a person, you must be extremely alert!"

"After all, once this person takes action, it will be a shocking move."

“Or it may catch people off guard.”

"So I have a plan, maybe we can take precautions for now!"

"That said, I am quite cautious."

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and waved his hand:
"Deception is acceptable in war, but knowing when to seize the opportunity is important for a general."

"Renda, why don't you tell me about it?"

After hearing this, Sima De continued to bow and said:

"You can send a dozen warships to stand between our army and Lu Su's navy."

"It serves as a mobile beacon on the Yangtze River to warn of enemy activity."

"We also set up checkpoints on both sides of the Yangtze River to prevent the enemy from launching surprise attacks."

When everyone present heard this, they all had different expressions.

This countermeasure is indeed a bit too cautious!
After all, they had just experienced a big victory.

And their military strength is several times that of the enemy!

This response is somewhat like a lion fighting a rabbit.

However, there is nothing wrong with Sima De's suggestion.

After all, Lu Su is not as good as Sun Quan.

The first thing is to proceed steadily and be prepared.

We have made up our minds to hold them back in the Yangtze River.

Don't give them any chance to go south.

They can only respond cautiously to this.

After all, the battle of Ruxu.

Although their side was victorious, they still suffered heavy losses.

Even with the captured Jiangdong ships included, the strength of the two fleets was still evenly matched.

Under these circumstances, if we engage in a head-on confrontation, even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory.

Especially considering that Cao's army was mostly infantry.

When the navy was fighting, everyone on shore could only watch anxiously and was almost powerless to intervene.

But if we divide our troops into two routes, it would be tantamount to seeking our own death!

After all, Cao's army came from afar, and if they insisted on ordering the infantry to move south.

Once Jiangdong chooses to fortify its defenses and clear the countryside, the navy will do its best to cut off their retreat.

Then all the victories achieved before may be lost.

Cao Cao himself was very clear about this.

As he was thinking about this, his brows were filled with heaviness.

Finally, he nodded and agreed to break: "In this case, we will do as Renda said."

"Take advantage of the opportunity when the whole army is resting to find a perfect plan."

"Defeat his navy along this route."

He immediately gave the order for the entire army to be on alert!
When night fell quietly, the navies of both sides confronted each other across the river.

The bright moon rises slowly, and its silver light spreads over the vast river.

The rising water vapor makes the moonlight even more hazy.

The lights between Cao's warships were dim, creating a unique scene at this time.

And in one of the cabins.

Sima De's eyes were wandering freely over the beauty.

It is like appreciating a unique piece of art in the world and admiring the beauty from Jiangdong in front of you.

At this time, Sun Shangxiang's hands were tied tightly with ropes, and there was hatred flashing in her eyes.

It also adds a sense of brokenness to this beauty.

Sima De showed no mercy to this woman.

For him, it means winning the heart of Princess Sun.

It is far less beneficial than a kiss!
Thinking of this, a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He put his arm around Sun Shangxiang's slender waist and said:

"Miss Sun, have you ever experienced the charm of leaning on the railing and listening to the wind?"

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. I'll let you see it for yourself!"

Having said that, he ignored the woman's trembling resistance.

Sima De pushed her to the window.

Then the beauty leaned against the window, and Sima De followed behind.

After such a reckless move, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but grit her teeth and moan.

The pain coming from my body was beyond words.
