Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, please answer the question!

If they unite together, they can still fight against Cao Jun one or two, but if they divide their troops, wouldn't Cao Jun beat them to death?

Zhuge Liang said: "Our thoughts are like this, so why not Cao Cao's thoughts?"

"They think that we will never separate, so they will be negligent. At that time, our soldiers on land and soldiers on the ship will attack from both sides."

"We can take down either side of the strait with lightning speed, and in this way, the dilemma can be solved."

This plan is extremely risky.

Otherwise, the entire army will be wiped out.

However, Zhou Yu also agrees with this strategy, because it is the most feasible method now.

The risk is high, but if you can win, you will control the entire battlefield.

"Just as Mr. Kong Ming said!"

Don't wait for me!

After the discussion, the three of Zhuge Liang entered the jungle with soldiers and horses.

And Zhou Yu began to arrange, they must not let Cao Cao find out that the fleet has only 3 people.

Sun Jian sat in command and began to dispatch the entire fleet, while Zhou Yu left some small gifts for Cao Cao's army.

……

the other side.

Cao Cao recruited Xun You and Cheng Yu.

"Gongda and Zhongde, what do you think of this matter?"

He told them about Pang Tong's plot.

Both of them didn't discover the mistakes and omissions of the chain link count at the beginning, because of the confidence brought by 20 to 5 people.

But after what Cao Cao said, they were all taken aback. The foreheads of the two top counselors were covered with beads of sweat.

The wind from outside the military tent blows in through the curtain.

It’s so cold!

"Please forgive me, Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister hadn't been aware of the details, the two of us might have made a big mistake."

They are counselors, and the role of counselors is to plan. Although Pang Tong came up with this plan, they have also seen it.

It is their dereliction of duty not to discover any errors or omissions.

In fact, Cao Cao himself never thought that the strategy was wrong.

Because they fell into a circle, they thought that as long as the problem of the instability of the soldiers on the ship was solved, then the Sun and Liu coalition forces could be easily taken down.

Cao Cao said, "I asked the two of you to come here not to plead guilty, but to plan this matter."

"Pang Tong's life is in my hands at this time, he dare not act recklessly."

Xun You and Cheng Yu nodded after hearing Pang Teng's plan: "This is a safe strategy. If the coalition forces want to defeat us, they must take risks."

Cao Cao asked: "How can a soldier be in danger?"

Xun You said: "If they are all trapped on the river, the food for 5 people can only last for a few days, and then they will have to retreat."

"The only way is to leave a part of the troops on the shore, and the warships will pretend to fight, and then send surprise soldiers to attack from behind, flanking back and forth, and our army will be defeated."

Cao Cao said: "As expected of Gongda, if they can take our army, then our siege will be broken, we have to guard against it!"

This conversation, until late at night!

……

Chapter 28 The battle begins!

next day!

Cao Cao orders troops.

"Xun You, lead the navy, sit on the surface of the water, mainly harassing, remember not to attack rashly!"

Xun You is Xun Yu's nephew, but his appearance is much worse than Xun Yu's. He looks a bit dull, but his mind is active, and his schemes are second only to Xun Yu's.

"Yes!" Xun You took the order.

"Le Jin and Xu Chu, you two will be the deputy generals of the Jingzhou navy, assist Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and follow the orders of General Cai and Zhang Yun."

Le Jin is no more than seven feet tall, and looks short and dainty.

Xu Chu next to him was more than eight feet long, his waist was ten girth wide, and his appearance was majestic.

Both answered: "Yes!"

As for Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, they dare not refuse.

They knew very well that Cao Cao didn't trust him yet.

Le Jin and Xu Chu boarded the ship to monitor them. If they can win this battle, they will be able to gain Cao Cao's trust.

Cao Cao glanced at the generals present.

"Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xu Huang, Zhao Yan... you and Zhong De lead an army of [-] to the south bank." He said loudly.

"The last will obey!"

Cao Cao trusted Cheng Yu's ability and let him take charge of the army alone.

"Man Chong, you take two thousand elites to cut off the food and grass of the coalition army."

"If you lose, retreat immediately!"

Man Chong has followed Cao Cao for many years, and Cao Cao was very relieved when he handed over this matter to Man Chong.

"No problem, Prime Minister!"

And Cao Cao himself led the army on the north bank in person.

He just needs to follow the coalition forces all the way and put pressure on them.

The reason why Cao Cao moved so quickly was that he wanted to catch Sun and Liu Lianjun by surprise.

If it can be done, the difficulty of this battle may be reduced a lot.

There are still many imperfections in Pang Tong's strategy, but they are all small loopholes. It is extremely difficult for Sun and Liu Lianjun to defeat any one of the three parties.

He attacked at this time, and the coalition forces had nowhere to hide.

"As long as they are left on the river, then they have only one way to go, and that is to return to Jiangxia!"

Cao Cao was full of confidence this time.

As long as the coalition forces retreat to Jiangxia and do not fight on the water, his army will be invincible.

He can take down Sun and Liu in an instant.

But half a day's work.

The [-] army led by Cheng Yu had already crossed the river bank.

They hurried towards the camp where Sun and Liu Lianjun were located.

They need to push the coalition forces to the river, so the coalition forces will have no choice but to fight back.

"For this sneak attack, we will mainly harass from a distance, just let the coalition forces panic!"

Although Cheng Yu thought well!

However, the high mountains and dense forests on both sides of the Red Cliff waste a lot of time.

When Cheng Yu arrived at the camp with 8 people, he found that the entire camp was empty and the boats had disappeared.

Sun and Liu have already run away!

"Although it is different from what we expected, the coalition forces have already reached the river, and the plan is considered complete!" Cheng Yu said.

From now on, they just have to follow the coalition ship and force them not to go ashore.

Originally, he thought it was easy, but when he didn't face it seriously, he realized that the mountain was steep, and trying to keep up with the boats in the river was like a dream come true.

"Sprinkle out the scouts and keep an eye on the coalition ships!" Cheng Yu arranged.

The fast-moving scouts could only keep up with them. If they found the enemy landing, they could rush over immediately.

Just when they thought there was no one here!

A soldier opened the tent, only to find that it was full of weeds.

Shocked and shouted: "The army tent is full of weeds!"

At this moment, hundreds of rockets were fired, and the entire camp was set on fire, and the sky was filled with raging flames, like purgatory.

"Be careful sir!"

Cao Hong took the lead, put Cheng Yu behind the horse, and led Cheng Yu out of the flames.

Surrounded by the fire, the 1000 army lost nearly 2000 people at once, and more than [-] people were burned.

Cheng Yu frowned, his face was ugly: "It seems that they figured out that we are going to come here, and made arrangements in advance."

"hateful!"

……

On the surface of the river.

Looking at the red flames in the sky and the smoke rising into the sky, the tense atmosphere on the ship was diluted a lot.

"Haha, it seems that Cao Mengde has received this great gift from me!" Sun Jian laughed loudly.

This is his first battle since his resurrection, and he feels very happy.

The entire barracks is full of thatch, and it has been sprinkled with kerosene to increase the burning speed.

A hundred archers are ready to go, and they will release their bows and arrows only when they find the right opportunity.

If you are lucky, this fire can kill thousands of soldiers.

Looking behind the boat, Zhou Yu saw densely packed dots appearing in the sky.

He said, "General Sun, the Jingzhou navy has caught up!"

Sun Jian suppressed his smile and said, "Well, let's follow the plan!"

Less than an hour.

Hundreds of large and small warships, some small warships have already rushed up here.

Take a bow and shoot an arrow!

Countless arrows rained down on the deck, and some soldiers who could not escape fell to the ground and died.

After Xun You saw this scene on the boat, he said, "Use rockets to make them panic!"

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun knew that this was a good opportunity for them to make contributions and gain trust.

"Mister, please allow the two of us to go and supervise the battle!" The two said.

"Yes!"

After receiving Xun You's reply, the two directly boarded the warship ahead and participated in the battle in person.

Le Jin folded his hands on his chest, and said with a sneer, "These two idiots are looking for death, how could any general charge forward?"

Xu Chu said, "It's not that they want to court death, but that they must gain the trust of the prime minister, and the prime minister doesn't need useless people!"

Le Jin didn't continue to answer the call.

He has followed Cao Cao for 20 years and knows that Cao Cao is a man who knows people and uses them well.

But if Cai Mao and Zhang Yun did nothing on the battlefield, Cao Cao would not hesitate to let them go.Or just cut it off!

"But it's against the order given to us by the Prime Minister!" Le Jin sighed.

Xun You said, "What's wrong? If the two of them die in battle, we will be able to take over the Jingzhou Navy as a matter of course."

"Although the Jingzhou navy now belongs to the prime minister, it is still under the control of Cai Mao and others."

Both Le Jin and Xu Chu felt awe-inspiring.
