Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Sun Quan's navy was completely wiped out. For this guy who was not used to naval battles, bullying him really had no skills at all.  His tactics are largely biased towards water warfare in inland lakes. This is actually because most of his naval generals were once water thieves in the Jiangnan area.  If the battle is fought somewhere like the Yangtze River or Dongting Lake, relying on the relatively narrow environment, Sun Quan's navy can restrict the enemy's movement by moving boats, and in conjunction with the boats and fierce fire oil, they will achieve great results.  "Only in a wide sea, ships can easily circumvent those gondolas by turning around. By then, as long as they take the opportunity to destroy both large ships and medium-sized warships, the remaining gondolas will not be able to make any waves.  Not to mention, most of Sun Quan's warships are traditional warships. There has been no progress in imitating Liu Ming's warships. The shipbuilding technology gap between the two sides is so great that even though Sun Quan has spent all his efforts to catch up, he still has not been able to do so.  Way to catch up easily.  As a result, using backward ships that are not suitable for turning on the sea to engage in naval battles with real sea ships is a pure act of suicide.  Gan Ning briefly supplied supplies in Yazhou, and then led the fleet towards the location of Wu Commandery. At the same time, Ma Chao and Ma Dai ended this stage of their guerrilla careers and returned to Liu Ming.  The tactics of Ma Chao and Ma Dai have been used by Lu Xun. In recent battles, there is almost no way to win under Lu Xun's calculations. Of course, it is not considered a failure. It can only be said that they relied on the fighting power of the two and the soldiers to defeat Sun Quan.  The resentment of the soldiers barely equaled Lu Xun's.  But this was obviously not the casualty rate Liu Ming needed, so the two naturally had no choice but to return to the rear. As soon as they came back, Guan Hai, Gao Lan and Cao Xing entered the territory under Sun Quan as the second batch of guerrillas.  Perhaps due to the change in fighting methods, Lu Xun could not help but suffer some losses when he first came into contact with him. However, Lu Xun was Lu Xun after all, so he minimized the loss of defeat. At the same time, he also understood that his enemy had changed again.  approved, so he had to start the deduction again.  During this period, compared to Sun Quan who was very anxious, Cao Cao could only be said to be extremely depressed.  Liu Ming's guerrilla troops and the main force guarding him did not intend to kill him, but precisely because of this, they did not take the initiative to attack but held on desperately. They would not specifically attack the vital points, but always came out to increase their presence.  The war mode makes people feel very unhappy.  "Have you found out the origin of that army?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Chen very dissatisfied.  "It's not from Liu Ming's side. Liu Ming is a good son-in-law. Time has proven everything. However, this group of people always cleverly attacks our vital points at our most critical moments. So far, more granaries have been captured."  Destroyed, food on the front line is in short supply" Xun Chen wiped the sweat from his head.  "I'm not interested in knowing how much we lost. What I need to know now is the origin of this army." Cao Cao stopped Xun Chen from speaking.  "Since it's not Liu Ming, then there are only Sun Quan and Liu Bei." Xun Chen smiled bitterly, he had been hinting at this before.  How did he know that Cao Cao had actually thought of this, and even thought that this army came from Liu Bei's command, but he needed someone to confirm his idea.  "That guy Liu Bei, he doesn't know that he is playing with fire." Cao Cao was very confused.  "According to the latest information we have received, Chengdu has been conquered by Liu Ming, but it is empty. But we don't know where Liu Bei moved the people. Now Liu Bei's territory is only the Nanzhong area and Jiaozhou.  Signs of defeat have appeared in this place." Xun You stepped forward to report.  "So, you want to drag us to death together." Cao Cao asked through gritted teeth.  "But it's unlikely. Pang Tong's layout will not be that simple. Besides, Liu Bei also has a mastermind named Xu Shu. This person's talent is not much worse than Pang Tong." Xun You immediately denied that statement.  "Forget it, let's not mention that guy. What I need to know now is that group of guys who always cause us trouble, how do we deal with them." Cao Cao simply got to the point.  If they don¡¯t deal with it, they will have to retreat, and the soldiers on the front line have begun to run out of food.  "Since Liu Bei can't rely on the alliance of the three families of Cao, Sun and Liu, why don't you ask Sun Quan for help? Anyway, it shouldn't be too difficult to get some supplies." Liu Ye put forward an opinion.  "Well, that's the same thing. Just arrange for people to ask for help immediately, but how should we deal with the problem of food and grass while the things are being transported back." Cao Cao nodded, and then asked again.  ¡°Most of the large families in the territory have grain and grass reserves, and you may be able to purchase some emergency supplies from them,¡± Xun Chen advised.    "It's okay to buy it, but where does the money come from?" Cao Cao was also very depressed.  "Just lend it to Hua Xia Bank. Didn't they say that they are a neutral bank for thousands of years? As long as we provide collateral, it shouldn't be a problem to get a certain loan from them." Liu Ye came out.  "It's also a way I didn't expect that in the end, we actually borrowed money from our enemies." Cao Cao said a little self-deprecatingly.  "Report." But at this time, some soldiers came in a hurry to report.  "What's wrong?" Cao Cao asked angrily.  "Suddenly an army came outside the city and has surrounded Changsha." The soldier said hurriedly.  "What's the matter?" Cao Cao stood up suddenly.  "It can be seen from the flag and armor that it is undoubtedly Liu Bei." The soldier quickly replied.  "Damn it, the enemy appeared here so openly, are all our scouts dead?" Cao Cao was really angry, and no one came to report such a big thing.  "It is true that the sentry posts in various places have not reported for nearly a day. Maybe the sentry has really been killed." Xiahou Dun recalled it carefully and then gave his own opinion.  According to Cao's army's mechanism, sentries in various places change their posts once a day. Therefore, if the soldiers who have not changed their shifts for more than one day return, the army will immediately be dispatched to be on guard.  But Liu Bei had calculated the time of the day accurately, and actually used the shortest time to rush to Changsha City and surrounded it.  Cao Cao also knew the mechanism of his army. Because he knew it, he couldn't help but sigh: They say that the army is unpredictable, and it is really easy for others to take advantage of such a rigid system.  But there is no use in complaining now. In desperation, Cao Cao could only lead everyone to the top of the wall.  "Liu Bei, what do you mean?" Cao Cao looked at the army below and cursed angrily.  "Old Cao, it's okay for you to give up your territory, but you came to my territory. Look at these four counties in Jingnan. Shouldn't they be my territory? No, I'm just taking my territory.  I just got my things back, I have to thank Liu Ming, he helped me a lot," Liu Bei said without blushing.  "Liu Bei, this is your goal." Cao Cao realized a certain possibility.  "Yes, with the desolate land of Bashu and the disabled Jingbei, it is difficult to unilaterally resist Liu Ming, but my alliance with you is not my territory after all. I can't believe it. Therefore,  Why can't I take advantage of Liu Ming's military power and take the opportunity to absorb the two of you into my own territory?" Liu Bei did not shy away and directly stated his purpose.  I have to say, this is indeed very cruel.  The original intention of the three alliances was to jointly resist the powerful Liu Ming. This was originally proposed by Liu Bei. After calculating the pros and cons, the two families agreed. Everyone knows that under the current situation where Liu Ming is in power, they can unilaterally resist his  Attacking is unwise.  When the war started, he and Sun Quan probably really tried their best to deal with Liu Ming. However, Liu Bei fought Liu Ming very perfunctorily. If not for the fact that many people were killed and many generals were captured, Cao Cao and Sun Quan might have  We really have to question Liu Bei's intentions.  Despite this, Liu Bei still took advantage of this alliance to minimize his ability to fight for a long time. Even if he wanted to recruit soldiers at this stage, the lack of food and grass would be enough to weaken the morale of the army.  "Old Cao, we are all acquainted after all. Don't worry, I will let you leave this world without pain." Liu Bei smiled and then waved his hand.  This was an order to attack. Almost at the same time, Liu Bei's soldiers began to attack the couch. More than fifty artillery pieces pulled by Yunnan horses at the rear were firing cannonballs at the city gates and walls.  "Fight." Cao Cao would not surrender, but he immediately fired the artillery soldiers on the city wall.  "Reporting to the Prime Minister, His Majesty was assassinated and passed away." But at this critical moment, a soldier hurriedly came forward to report.  At that moment, Cao Cao's mind went blank.  "Please tell me quickly what is going on." Xun You saw this and immediately ordered.  "Just a quarter of an hour ago, a palace maid passed by His Majesty's palace. Her original intention was to ask His Majesty to get up and eat, but she didn't want to see His Majesty lying on the bed, but his head was missing." The soldier reported with a cry.  "This" Xun You was shocked at first, and then he realized something.  It was Liu Bei, and only he, who would take the lead in assassinating the Han Emperor when he attacked Changsha. Only in this way, after taking over Cao Cao's territory, would he not feel depressed about the hot potato of the Han Emperor.   Looking at Cao Cao again, he still had not recovered from the blow. Xun You knew that this hero still had a little bit of loyalty in his heart. He was a Hanchen, a Hanchen who hoped to help your majesty revitalize the Han Dynasty.  , this is the last trace of persistence in Cao Cao's heart. This persistence will restrain him and he will not usurp the throne even if he dies.  He was indeed like this in another time and space. He did not usurp the throne until his death. He just became the king of Wei. He needed a prince to satisfy his last bit of vanity. As for usurping the throne, he left it to future generations. In fact,  After his death, Cao Pi usurped the throne.  Because of this persistence, Cao Cao really couldn't accept the fact at this moment. His Majesty, who was originally closely protected, and even mobilized the most elite soldiers to protect him, was actually assassinated.  I was just thinking about this problem, but I didn¡¯t want to feel a pain in my chest, and my eyes slowly moved down.  But he saw that the soldier had come to him, holding a dagger in his hand.  "You" Cao Cao looked at the soldier weakly.  "Let's go." The soldier pulled out his dagger and quickly ran away.  Yes, he is a disciple of the Natural Sect. Everything he did before was just a plan to assassinate Cao Cao. It is ironic to say that the anti-assassination treaty was signed some time ago, but now he is doing this again.  Liu Bei¡¯s fellow, as expected, perfectly elaborated on the phrase ¡®the existence of treaties is to be benefited¡¯.  "Mengde, Mengde." Xiahou Dun stepped forward immediately, but Cao Cao's eyes were already dull.  "Yuan Rang Bei" Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun with dull eyes and struggled to say three words.  Then, all consciousness finally dispersed and disappeared, and the hand that was intended to be stretched out also dropped.  "Meng De," Xiahou Dun looked up to the sky and roared.
