On the chariot, Cao Cao drew his sword, slashed wildly, and finally roared and roared. The sound echoed in the surrounding fields, which shocked many Cao soldiers and looked around one after another.

All around, civil and military people are all savvy and silent.

All of them bowed their heads and didn't speak, the main reason was that they were just asking for trouble, and they had to wait for Cao Cao to calm down.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

Panting heavily, Cao Cao threw the Yitian sword onto the chariot, his eyes were cold and angry, he had tried his best to catch up with Shouchun, but he still couldn't catch up.

The key point was that he did not expect that Sun Ce's entire army was nearly annihilated by Chu Feng, or the entire army had already been annihilated, leaving only some stragglers.

Is this fucking human capable of beating?

"Sun Ce was defeated, his troops were lost, and his camp was pulled out by Chu Feng. What do you think our army should do now?" Cao Cao enraged and asked.

"My lord, Sun Ce is stupid and not worth mentioning. The last general is willing to be the vanguard and defeat the enemy!"

"My lord, the final general is willing to break through the city, and decapitate Chu Feng's head to the lord."

On both sides, many generals spoke.

All of them had fierce faces, but they were all sycophants. They just wanted to show their faces, not to mention that Cao Cao would not let them go.

Cao Cao was displeased. At this time, flattery is obviously a stupid behavior. He couldn't help looking at Guo Jia and Xun You, and asked:

"Gongda, Fengxiao, that Sun Ce was so stupid that his entire army was wiped out. What do you think this battle should be?"

Xun You and Guo Jia looked at each other, Guo Jia smiled wryly, with a bit of helplessness, he clasped his fists and said, "My lord already has a countermeasure in mind, so why ask us!"

"However, after the lord asked, Jia then expressed his humble opinion."

"Sun Ce's army was completely lost in this battle, and our army's momentum has been broken. And our army has only [-] soldiers and horses, and the Chu army is almost the same. Even if the army is approaching the city, how can we break through Shouchun?"

"What's more, it's early winter now, and the severe cold is approaching. Our army rushed to Xuzhou. The three armies lack something to keep out the cold. It would be unwise to hold on for a long time!"

Guo Jia heard about Sun Ce's timekeeping before, and was thinking of countermeasures, and now he is talking about it.

"Then what do you think?"

Cao Cao frowned, and asked unwillingly.

"I think that the troops should be withdrawn here, and the squadron will return to the court. First, the three armies have been fighting for years, and they are already exhausted, so they should take a rest. Second, they should recuperate, coordinate the affairs of the states and counties, and mobilize food, grass, and military equipment."

"Furthermore, according to my subordinates' speculation, Gongsun Zan will surely perish in the spring of next year at the latest. It is estimated that Yuan Shao will not go south for a long time. Our army should make preparations early in the morning!"

Guo Jia said something meaningful.

He knew that with Sun Ce's defeat, this battle could be declared over in advance, and it would be meaningless to Cao's army to continue the battle, and it would waste money and food, and even be ruined by Chu Feng's sleep.

Cao Cao pondered for a while, but still felt unwilling. He looked at Xun You and asked, "Gongda, what do you think?"

"My lord, what Feng Xiao said is the truth. Withdrawing the troops at this moment, one is resting and recuperating, waiting for the North-South War with Yuan Shao. Second, the stalemate is fruitless, and it is just a waste of money and food!"

"Yu also advises the lord to return to the court as a teacher."

"Besides, my lord's expedition has been going on for more than half a year. There may be an undercurrent in Xuchang, and the lord needs to be in charge. If the stalemate continues, I'm afraid."

Speaking of this, Xun You selectively closed his speech.

"Afraid of what?" Cao Cao asked.

"My lord, have you forgotten the tragic death of General Zhu Ling in the First Battle of Xuzhou? If my lord continues to fight, I'm afraid that all civil and military officials in the dynasty will worship under Yuan Shao and even Chu Feng."

"At that time, the world will have nothing to do with the lord, but he and the two will fight." Xun You's words hit his heart directly, making the corners of Cao Cao's eyes twitch instantly.

None of the previous words were as important as this one.

He knew the virtues of civil and martial arts, and now that Yuan Qiang was weak, someone had secretly informed him that if he didn't sit in charge of Xu Chu, there would be no guarantee that nothing would happen.

It happened once a few years ago.

Thinking about this clearly, Cao Cao frowned, looked at Cao Ren beside him, and said, "Cao Ren, go, order the three armies to prepare to cross the river and return to the court."

"No!" Cao Ren nodded immediately.

"My lord, where is Sun Ce?" Cao Zhen asked.

"My lord, this battle is not a bad thing for my lord. Previously, Sun Ce was attached to my lord, but his subordinates supported themselves. After this battle, he can only be used by my lord."

"Sun Ce is a brave man, a rare general, and Zhou Yu's military strategy is one of the best, he can be dispatched by the Lord." Guo Jia explained with a chuckle.

Although Sun Ce lost a lot, he was Jiangdong's soldier after all. After Sun Ce's defeat, he could only rely on Cao Cao to seek shelter or revenge.

"That's true. In this way, send someone to let them go back to Xuchang first, and say that I have a heavy responsibility to explain. Let's talk about it in Xuchang!" Cao Cao nodded approvingly.

"No!" The guard immediately responded.

----

-

Jian'an three years, early winter.

Chu Feng planned to wipe out Sun Ce's troops, and won a complete victory, which inspired the people of the world, and even made Cao Cao, who had vowed to go south, give up halfway.

The battle ended with the victory of the Chu army and the return of Cao's army to the court.

And after this battle, Chu Feng's ability and status were further established. No one dared to underestimate Chu Feng, who was only in one state, and even regarded him as the number one enemy.

Among them, Jingzhou is included.

----

Jian'an three years,

December, deep winter.

Jingzhou, the boundary of Nanyang.

At this moment, snowflakes are still floating in the sky, as if they are covering the wounds of this devastated land, and countless tragic scenes are covered under that layer of snow.

Thousands of miles were frozen, and once the fleeing people fell down, they never got up again.

At the same time, this heavy snow also cooled the temperature of the entire thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and the truce, although it indicated that it had subsided, it was more like the tranquility before the blizzard.

Because what is hidden behind this snowstorm is to recharge your batteries and prepare for the strategic deployment of the beginning of spring. No one knows how long this protracted war will last.

Nanyang, Wancheng.

In the general's mansion, Zhang Xiu was wearing animal skins. Looking at the letter in his hand, he couldn't get angry and shouted directly: "This Liu Bei is actually recruiting soldiers and recruiting refugees again!"

"And what does Liu Biao mean? Does he want Liu Bei to check and balance me? If so, why didn't he speak up?"

The more he talked, the angrier Zhang Xiu became.

He was outspoken and displeased with this.

In the hall, Jia Xu sipped tea and laughed lightly at this moment.

"Wenhe, what time is this? Are you still in the mood to laugh? Then Liu Biao asked Liu Bei to recruit troops in Xinye, so he made it clear that he didn't believe me!"

Zhang Xiu couldn't bear her temper and said.

"Hehe, does my lord still have feelings for Liu Biao?" Jia Xu put down the teacup slowly, and asked back with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Wenhe, what do you mean by that?" Zhang Xiu asked puzzled.

"My lord, don't you realize that this winter is colder than previous years?" Jia Xu said with a hint of a smile on his lips.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Xiu was still puzzled!

He was born as a martial artist in Xiliang, so he couldn't understand Jia Xu's way of hiding the beginning and the end.

Jia Xu shook her head helplessly, so she said bluntly: "Master, Jingzhou is about to be in chaos, oh no, it should be said that the world is about to be in chaos, and the pattern of the world should change again!"

"Hey, Wen He, can you explain clearly what's wrong with it?" Zhang Xiu scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.

"Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is in danger. I'm afraid he will be defeated in the early spring. At that time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will fight to the death. Although Cao Cao is not as good as Yuan Shao in terms of troops, horses and food,"

"However, he is respectful to the corporals, appoints people on their merits, and the soldiers under his command are also elites in all battles. On the other hand, Yuan Shaozhi's talents are sparse, and the outcome of this battle may be unpredictable."

"As for Jingzhou, Liu Biao is fighting fiercely with Zhang Xian. If my guess is correct, Chu Feng will also fight in the spring. He will definitely not miss this opportunity!"

Jia Xu stroked his beard, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although he lives in Nanyang, he has insight into the world's affairs, and he can predict everything with seven or eight percent accuracy.

"Chu Feng is going to make a move?" Zhang Xiu was surprised. He and Chu Feng had a pretty good relationship, they got along well, and it had been a while since we parted last time.

"It should be soon. If it weren't for the heavy snow, the messenger would have arrived in Nanyang." Jia Xu smiled and said confidently.

"His messenger came to Nanyang?" Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, "Does he want me to help?"

"Of course!" Jia Xu answered.

"My lord, perhaps my lord will become a crucial point in seizing Jingzhou this time. As for how to deploy it, I'm afraid Chu Feng is more thoughtful than I think."

Jia Xu laughed at himself.

During this period of time, he studied all of Chu Feng's military struggles. This man marched and fought perfectly interpreted the theory of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

This person is weaker than Cao Cao in the use of soldiers,

He is a soldier who almost relies on leading the charge to win with bravery, not an army formation.On the contrary, many victories were won by odds, and this was the case for many times against the Sun family.

"The most important point?" Zhang Xiu was stunned, and couldn't help muttering; "Why didn't I know that I was so powerful?" '

"So Wenhe, do you agree with me taking refuge in Chu Feng?" Zhang Xiu realized at this moment and asked.

"Hehe, why have I ever objected?"

"I just want to see more. Chu Feng has outstanding talent and ability. He is definitely capable of winning the world, especially in this battle when Cao Cao retreats!"

"I'm afraid Cao Cao will have a hard time in the coming year no matter whether he wins or loses!" Jia Xu chuckled lightly, implying that Cao Cao's situation is indeed embarrassing, Chu Feng's threat is too great.

The key can't be removed right now,

It depends on how Cao Cao prepares to deal with it.

Thinking that there are so many people with lofty ideals in Cao Jun, it is impossible that there is no way to deal with it.

"Oh, by the way, my lord still remembers the agreement between Chu Feng and Mrs. Zou. Now that Chu Feng is very capable, I will bring up this matter again when I have a chance."

"I've heard that Chu Feng has no heirs. If Madam can give Chu Feng a son and a half a heroine, she can gain a foothold in the Chu army."

"Even if Chu Feng is able to become Ninth Five Supreme One day, my lord, you can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, and it is not a problem to worship a general and a marquis."

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a light smile,

These are all profitable things, and he was not optimistic about Chu Feng before, but now he feels that Chu Feng is a Tianhu start,

If Cao Cao wants to defend against Yuan Shao, both of them will lose. Chu Feng can take the Central Plains if he advances, or he can take Jingzhou, and if he retreats, he can defend across the river. It is perfect.

Zhang Xiu didn't think too much about Zou's remarriage. After all, Zou wanted to, and Chu Feng could chat with him. The only thing that made him unhappy was,

I regard Chu Feng as my brother,

This guy actually wants to be his own father!

Grandma, the more she thinks about it, the angrier she gets. After all, Mrs. Zou is her aunt, so it's a big loss, and everyone will have to talk about it in the future!

"However, my lord, Liu Bei, you need to defend yourself. His second younger brother is the champion of the three armies, and he is the best general in the world. He himself is even more powerful."

"Whether Jingzhou can change hands or not depends on this person!" Jia Xu said solemnly.

He knows a thing or two about Liu Bei. This person may not be very capable, but his tough character is respected by the world, and many celebrities are willing to agree with him.

The only worry is Liu Bei's territory.

Jia Xu dared to assert that once Liu Bei had a territory like several counties in one state, there were not a few people who would rush to invest first. After all, the aristocratic family's investment was based on returns.

No one wants to accompany you from childhood!

"Hey, Liu Bei has just recruited hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers. Although I was ambushed in the surprise attack on Xuchang earlier, all the soldiers and horses under his command are the elite of Xiliang, and it is easy to break through!"

Zhang Xiu didn't take it seriously, and didn't take Liu Bei seriously.

Jia Xu didn't say anything. He still knew what kind of Xiliang soldiers were. After spending so long, he had already lost his fighting spirit. If Dong Zhuo was still there, he might have some fighting power.

Of course, no matter how weak the combat power is, it is better than recruits.

----

On the other side, on the official road.

Several war horses galloped through the heavy snow without their horseshoes,

And the leader was Liu Bei. When he learned that Sun Ce's army had been wiped out and Cao Cao's retreat, he led people to Xiangyang immediately.

"Brother, why are you in such a hurry, the heavy snow might as well wait for the snow to stop before coming back!" Guan Yu's already red face was reddened by the cold wind and snowflakes,
