Three Kingdoms: Starting from zero, a wealthy party

Chapter 391 Confrontation
Cao Cao today can be said to be serious together, which is unprecedented. Even when he faced Yuan Shao's 70 army, he was not so serious. This time, Cao Cao really felt the pressure, and all the pressure came from Han. Positive.

There is no way, Han Yang's strength is too strong, far beyond what Yuan Shao can compare.

Although their advantages are still present, they are actually not that great. If they operate well, their advantages are still advantages, but if they continue to be careless, they will probably be defeated by Han Yang. .

When he came, he had a full army of 80, but now there are only less than 70 left. This kind of loss is something he has never experienced before.

On the Jiangdong side, after an attack by Liu Peng, Cao Jun on the Jiangdong side completely retreated to the shore to defend. Although they tried to enter the water more than once, they actually knew that even if they entered the water, they did not dare to go too deep.

Because during this period of time, the Jiangdong navy patrolled the river every day, watching them all the time, and as long as there was a slight movement, they would know immediately.

Their strength on the water is not as good as that of Jiangdong, so.They also just built some ships by the river to continue training, but they didn't dare to go deeper.

As for the disastrous defeat here, Cao Cao naturally knew about it, which also made him extremely surprised.

But even so, there is nothing he can do. You must know that even if there is any problem here, he cannot return to help.

If it was in the past, he would definitely send some troops back, but now, Cao Cao did not do this, but instead focused all his attention on Jingzhou.

He is also quite clear that they must have such a good city as their base here, because it seems that they will have a protracted war with Jiangdong and Liu Bei.

And as long as there is a protracted war, there must be a solid rear. Although his territory in Jizhou has been stabilized, no matter what, Jizhou is far away from here, he can't send all the food and grass here from Jizhou. .

There are too many uncertain factors like this. If something happens on a bad road, they will not be able to handle it.

Therefore, after thinking about this, Cao Cao decided to concentrate most of his troops to take Jingzhou.

As long as he wins Jingzhou, he will win half of the war this time, because as long as he has Jingzhou, he can have a solid rear and can provide him with a steady stream of supplies. It's okay to fight wars for more than ten years.

At this time, Cao Cao didn't dare to make a move, so he was confronting Jingzhou every day, and Cao Cao was persuading his subordinates in the camp every day.

He knows that for an army, morale is the most important.

Therefore, during this period of time, he may have tried his best to say something to the soldiers.

As time passed, many soldiers felt better, although the shadow of the previous fire was still there.But the impact is not that great.

In the entire camp, the morale of many people is slowly improving.

It's funny to say that when Cao Cao came, there were more than 80 soldiers and horses, and he actually vowed to take Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

But up to now, several months have passed, not only did he fail to win Jingzhou and Jiangdong, but he suffered a huge loss. So far, he has fallen into a defensive situation, which is ridiculous enough.

In Cao Cao's camp in the direction of Jingzhou, Cao Cao was discussing matters with his subordinate Xun Yu and others at this time, when a soldier rushed in scrambling.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, the Xiliang army is dispatched." The soldier came in and knelt on the ground to report.

"What!" Hearing these words, Cao Cao jumped up and looked at him in disbelief.

"Yes, Prime Minister, Guo Jia, the military advisor from Xiliang, is leading an army of 15 troops, with Ma Chao as the vanguard, heading towards Jingzhou." The soldier said again.

For a moment, Cao Cao seemed a little panicked.

But Xun Yu looked very calm.

"Prime Minister, don't panic, the army from Xiliang would not dare to come to us easily." Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao thought about it for a long time. Indeed, although the Xiliang army is very powerful, they actually dare not come here.

Han Yang and Guo Jia are both main figures in Xiliang. When they are gone, Xiliang will lose its principal.

Once they were too far away from Xiliang, Xiliang might be in danger.

When the Xiliang army arrived here, once Cao Cao sent a troop to detour back to Jizhou, and then attacked the rear of Xiliang, they would be in danger.

Of course, Jizhou is also very empty now. Once Cao Jun here and Jiangdong or Liubai start a large-scale fight, then the 15 Xiliang army will take advantage of the situation and go north to take their Jizhou.

It has to be said that Guo Jia's dispatch of troops this time directly pinched their vitals.

Let them not wantonly attack Jingzhou.

Otherwise, Jizhou would be over.

"My lord, I think they will be stationed not far from the north of Jingzhou, and we will be very passive."

"But as long as their army of 15 doesn't move, we're safe."

"And the 15 people are all because of our actions, so we still have the initiative. After all, it is Han Yang and Liu Bei who are trapped in Jingzhou now."

"Although the morale of the Jiangdong side has improved recently, they don't have many soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to make a big change in a short time."

I have to say that Xun Yu's analysis is very accurate, and it directly hits all of Lin Yang's thoughts.

Of course, one thing he didn't expect was the number of troops in Xiliang.

Although Guo Jia brought out 15 troops, you must know that Xiliang now has a total of nearly 60 troops.

Even if 15 are left now, there are still more than 40 in Xiliang, and all of them are elite soldiers.

And just like what Xun Yu said, although Xiliang still has a large number of troops, there are no major figures like Guo Jia and Han Yang in the formation, so the threat level is not too great.

For a while, the two sides entered a very anxious confrontation.

Cao Cao didn't dare to use troops against Jingzhou easily, and Jingzhou couldn't come out and do anything to them.

And the 15 Xiliang troops who came to support them did not dare to come to Jingzhou easily.

This is the state, the two sides have been deadlocked.

However, many people also understand very well that this kind of stalemate is not good for Jingzhou or Cao Cao.

The first is Jingzhou. As time goes on, the food and grass in the besieged city will be consumed rapidly. The most important thing is that there will be many uncertain factors.

In addition to Cao Jun's side, they are far away from their base camp, and it is also a problem of food and grass.
