Chapter 178
Cai Mao returned to the camp and immediately met Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister, you are really a god!" "
I led my troops to Sanjiangkou, and sure enough, I saw that Zhou Yu was not there
!" "Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed.
Cai Mao said again: "I will order the whole army to pursue Zhou Yu and bite his butt and not let go
!" "How is it?" Cao Cao asked: "How was the result of the battle?"
Cai Mao said: "I killed more than 5,000 Jiangdong troops of the Jiangdong Army, and their baggage was destroyed by me
!" "Good job!" Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.
Cai Mao smiled and said, "This Zhou Yu is not as powerful as he imagined!" Cao
Cao said: "People are made of meat
, and they will die!" "Yes, yes, yes!" Cai Mao nodded again and again: "What the prime minister said is true
!" Cao Cao said again: "Quickly return to the headquarters to rectify the soldiers and horses, and the army will go down the river and go to Chaisang City at dawn!"
"Obey!" Cai Mao clasped his hands into fists and signaled.
Early the next morning, hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops marched forward by land and water, heading straight for Jiangdong.
......
Jiangdong Army, Chaisang City, Wuhou Mansion.
Jiangdong civil and military gathered.
The lord Sun Quan sat in a high position.
But everyone present was depressed.
Sun Quan said: "Why don't you speak?" Zhou Yu took half a step forward: "Lord, both fronts are defeated, and the Cao army will definitely join forces to besiege Chaisang City!" Zhang
Zhao also said: "Lord, this Cao army has millions of people, our army is defeated at Sanjiangkou, and we are defeated at Weixukou, and we don't have the strength to fight with Cao Jun again!" "
What do you mean?" Sun Quan turned his head to look at Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, my lord, you misunderstood, I definitely didn't mean that, I just didn't want to rush into battle
!" "Hmm!" Sun Quan nodded: "If you don't fight, can you win by defending Chaisang City?"
At this time, Liu Bei stood up.
"Wu Hou, there is a strategy below, which can break Cao Cao!"
"What strategy?" Sun Quan's eyes immediately looked at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei said: "Although Cao Cao has many generals and generals, he is not good at water warfare, Chaisang City can be defended for a long time, but it can't be defended!" Sun
Quan said: "Let's talk about the point!" Liu Bei nodded: "I am willing to go to Jiaozhou, ask Shixie to send troops to help, all the way to the south of Jingzhou, attack the rear of Cao's army, and go all the way to Chaisang City to aid Jiangdong
!" Sun Quan was a little puzzled: "Will Shixie send troops?"
"Yes!" Zhang Zhao immediately said: "
This Jiangdong and Jingzhou are already deep hatreds, even so they can unite to resist Cao, let alone
Jiaozhou?" Sun Quan nodded, and asked Liu Bei: "Xuande is going, can you come back?"
Liu Bei said: "I live and die with Jiangdong, Wu Hou rest assured, Liu Qi Gongzi will not leave
!" "Okay!" Sun Quan nodded: "You go to Jiaozhou quickly, even if Shixie is unwilling to help, you have to borrow soldiers and horses to help
!" "Obey!" Liu Bei clenched his fists and immediately withdrew from the main hall with his subordinates.
Zhou Yu stood up again: "Lord, Lu Bu is attacking Danyang County, Stone Town is the front line, and it must not be lost
!" "Hmm!" Sun Quan nodded: "Who is willing to defend Stone City?" Cheng
Pu immediately fought out
: "Lord, I am willing to go to Stone City!" Han Dang also stood up: "I am also willing to go with
you!" Sun Quan nodded: "There are not many soldiers and horses in the city now, I can only give you 8,000 soldiers and horses
!" "That's enough!" Cheng Pudao.
"Okay!" Sun Quan said: "You two ordered 8,000 soldiers and horses overnight, and hurried to Stone City, and you must not let Lu Bu enter my Jiangdong." "
Obey!" Cheng Pu and Han Dang clasped their fists one after another.
As soon as the morning dawned, the two soldiers and horses left the city of Chaisang.
All the way was Liu Bei, who led his troops straight to Jiaozhou.
The other is Cheng Pu and Han Dang, who rushed to Stone Town.
That night, Cheng Pu and Han Dang entered Stone Town.
Tai Shou reported the situation.
Lu Bu had already broken through the small counties around Stone Town, which was less than a hundred meters away.
"It's coming so fast!" Han Dang sighed.
Cheng Pu said: "We came just right!" The
two strengthened the city, and overnight warned Xiangyong, and at the same time recruited defeated soldiers into the city to resist Cao's army.
Three days later, at night, Lu Bu led his troops to the outside of Stone City.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the civil and military gathered.
Liu Ye took the lead and said: "According to the news obtained by our army, there are more than 10,000 defenders in Stone City, and the generals Cheng Pu and Han Dang are all there
!" Chao Rui asked: "Stone City, how strong
is it?" Liu Ye said: "It is as solid as a rock, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through
!" Chao Rui said: "Then surround it first, and find a way to cut off the communication between Stone City and Chaisang City!"
"Obey!" The generals clasped their fists one after another.
After a few more days, hundreds of thousands of Cao troops slaughtered outside the city of Chaisang.
Cao Cao ordered the establishment of a waterway village.
All the grain and grass are supplied by Jingzhou in the rear.
The news reached the city of Chaisang.
Sun Quan fidgeted.
Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and Lu Su were invited overnight.
"Jiangdong's survival is in danger, I want to hear your opinions now!" Zhang
Zhao looked at Zhou Yu and Lu Su.
Neither Zhou Yu nor Lu Su spoke.
Zhang Zhao said: "Lord, now, we can only think of Cao Cao to seek peace!"
"Peace?" Sun Quan was puzzled.
Zhang Zhao hurriedly said: "Suing
for peace is not about surrendering, it is to keep the two families safe!" Sun Quan shook his head: "Cao Cao has just won, will he agree to sue for peace?"
"Yes!" Zhou Yu nodded: "Although our army has lost two battles, the combat strength of the naval army is still better than
Cao's army!" "That's right!" Lu Su nodded: "If our army can hold the Yangtze River, the Cao army will not be able to attack Chaisang City!"
Zhou Yu continued: " Once Cao Cao negotiates peace with our army, he can find an opportunity to break through Cao's camp and repel Cao Cao in a battle
!" "Okay!" Sun Quan nodded: "Then please ask Zibu to go to Cao Ying!"
"Obey!" Zhang Zhao clenched his fists and signaled.
Early the next morning, Zhang Zhao took a boat out of Chaisang City and went straight to Cao's camp.
Under the leadership of Cai Mao, Zhang Zhao came to Cao Cao's Chinese army tent.
"Under Zhang Zhao, the military advisor under the account of the Marquis of Wu in Jiangdong, I have seen the prime minister of the Han Dynasty
!" "Hahaha!" Cao Cao smiled: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, what is the important matter for Zibu to come here
?" Zhang Zhao: "Uh..."
Cao Cao immediately said: "I heard that Zibu is from Xuzhou and took refuge in Jiangdong, isn't it?"
"Yes!" Zhang Zhao nodded.
Cao Cao said again: "I also heard that you advocated Sun Quan to return to the imperial court before
!" "That's right, that's right!" Zhang Zhao nodded again and again.
Cao Cao said again: "If you say that you want to make peace, you don't have to speak!"
Zhang Zhao: "..."
, "What, is there anything else?" Cao Cao asked.
Zhang Zhao said: "I'm here to ask for a kiss!" "
Ask for a kiss?" Cao Cao was surprised.
"That's right!" Zhang Zhao nodded: "Wu Hou has a younger sister who is born like a fairy and looks like a peony, it is better to marry the son of the prime minister to form an alliance between the two families
!" "Joke!" Cai Mao said: "How many people want to marry the prime minister's son? When will it be the turn of an enemy?"
"Hahaha!" Cao Cao smiled: "I really don't have a suitable son under my knees, you tell Wu Hou, if you don't dislike it, marry his sister to my military advisor to sacrifice Jiu Chaorui!"
Zhang Zhao: "Yes, I'll go back and tell Wu Hou!"
