After Zhang Liao led the remaining tiger and leopard cavalry back to the other side, he couldn't hide his shame when he looked at the tiger and leopard cavalry who had lost hundreds of riders in the battle with the Baijie soldiers.

Ci does not command troops, and Zhang Liao does not care how many people are killed by tigers and leopards.

What Zhang Liao was concerned about was that he was still unable to capture the south bank for Cao Cao after losing hundreds of elite tigers and leopards.

Zhang Liao came to Cao Cao, bowed to him, and apologized, "I am incompetent and cannot contribute to the great king."

Facing Zhang Liao's request to fight, Cao Cao had no intention of punishing him.

Even for Cao Cao, he did not think that Zhang Liao had not made meritorious deeds.

Cao Cao looked at the tidal flat in front of him with a pair of bright eyes that had experienced the world. Because there was accumulated water on the tidal flat, there were still horse hoof prints on some of the ground.

He said to Zhang Liaoyan, "Wenyuan, you have already made meritorious service."

Hearing what Cao Cao said, Zhang Liao couldn't help but be surprised.

Seeing the confusion on Zhang Liao's face, Cao Cao rode his horse forward, came to the riverside, and said to the generals behind him: "Just now, Wenyuan, you have proved to me that the tidal flats of Zhouzhu in the river can support an army.

"

"If that's the case, how can it not be regarded as meritorious service?"

“As long as this is feasible, over time, more and more land will be exposed from the water.

By then, how can the enemy stop our army from seizing the south bank?"

The generals of Cao and Wei who were present felt depressed because of Zhang Liao's retreat.

But after Cao Cao's analysis, everyone's spirits were lifted again.

This is the charm of Wei King Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, who had outstanding military exploits and outstanding achievements, did not need to go out of his way to boost military morale through heavy rewards like Sun Quan did.

With him here, it only takes one word to boost military morale.

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao looked across at the general who had just arrived with his troops.

Times have changed, but the charm of our old friend remains the same.

But why do you have to be my enemy?

...

Guan Yu received news of the attack on Zhao Yun's troops in the camp, and he learned that it was Cao Cao's general Zhang Liao who personally led the tiger and leopard cavalry to attack.

Guan Yu was worried about Zhao Yun's safety and hurriedly brought thousands of troops from the camp to help.

By the time Guan Yu led his army to the battlefield, Zhang Liao and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had already retreated in time.

Guan Yu looked at the horses and the corpses left by the enemy soldiers in the river, and then looked at the corpses left by the Baijie soldiers on the river, and found that the number of people killed by the Baijie soldiers was one third more than the enemy's.

It's just that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is one of the best cavalry in the world. Under normal circumstances, the cavalry has an advantage when fighting against the infantry, so it is normal to have this kind of battle loss ratio.

The most important thing is that Zhao Yun held his position.

Otherwise, once the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Wei army rush ashore, Guan Yu can imagine how serious the consequences will be when he looks at the Wei army's infantry on the other side, which has been arranged neatly.

After Zhao Yun saw Guan Yu leading the army to come for reinforcements, he rode his horse to Guan Yu and said to him, "Yun Chang, as I expected, the enemy is already trying to find ways to break through our defense line from other places."

Guan Yu's face was heavy, and he said to Zhao Yun, "If it weren't for Zilong today, the enemy might have succeeded."

"It's just that if you keep it for a long time, you will lose it."

When Guan Yu said this, he stared at the many horse hoof prints in the river.

If Cao Cao could think of it, he would naturally not ignore it.

So what if you don't ignore it.

He has too few troops in his hands.

When he sent troops from Jiangling for the Northern Expedition, he only had 30,000 troops at his disposal.

Later, although he fought several enemy armies, most of them won by trickery, and the losses in his own troops and horses were not high.

However, after successive battles, the troops in his hands also suffered a certain loss.

In particular, Xu Huang had captured more than 10,000 elite soldiers before, so he had to dedicate 2,000 soldiers to escort them south to Jiangling.

So now he only has about 25,000 troops left in total.

In order to prevent Cao Cao's 100,000 troops from going south smoothly, he used to rely on the natural defense line of Han River outside Xiangyang City to resist the 100,000 Wei troops with more than 20,000 troops in hand.

But now, as the water volume of the Han River gradually decreases, the Han River defense line has gradually lost its effectiveness.

Zhao Yun followed Guan Yu's worried eyes and knew what Guan Yu was worried about.

But the timing of heaven cannot be reversed by human power.

At this time, Guan Yu saw a man wearing a crown watching him on the other side. Guan Yu rode his horse forward and came to the shore to look at him.

Thinking of all that happened back then, Guan Yu immediately bowed to Cao Cao.

Although they are in different camps now and are fighting on the battlefield, Cao Cao showed kindness and care for him at the beginning.

He has already repaid Cao Cao's kindness.

Now he can only repay this love with a distant bow.

From then on, there was no friendship between the two and they were just enemies.

When Cao Cao saw Guan Yu bowing to him, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This was the Guan Yunchang he had always wanted.

Gratitude and grudges should be clear, and loyalty should come first.

After laughing, Cao Cao took out an official seal from his arms, which he had originally awarded to Guan Yu.

When Guan Yu left him to look for Liu Bei, he placed this official seal at the door of his house.

And since that day, he has always carried this official seal with him.

Holding the official seal he had carefully carved for Guan Yu in his hand, and looking at the three characters "Pian General" engraved on it, Cao Cao's eyes turned from warm at first to cold.

He threw the official seal to the other side.

The official seal lost its power in mid-air and fell into the river, landing in front of Guan Yu.

At this moment, Cao Mengde, who had always been in love with Guan Yun but couldn't get it, was no longer there.

The only ones left were Wei King Cao Cao, who wanted to capture and kill the former Han general Guan Yu, and guard the Wei State.

After Cao Cao completed this move, he ordered the generals behind him to camp here, and then he himself returned to the camp under the protection of Xu Chu.

An old friend turning into an enemy is one of the most interesting things in the world.

After Cao Cao left, Guan Yu looked at Cao Cao's back. He turned his head resolutely and said to Zhao Yun, "In less than half a month, there will definitely be a fierce battle between our army and the Wei army."

"I want to report to the king urgently and ask him to lead the army to help as soon as possible."

...

In December of the 24th year of Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, Bajun, Yuwei County.

Liu Bei led his army to Yuwei County just yesterday night.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After arriving in Yuwei County, Liu Bei, who had not rested for an hour because he was worried about the military situation in Jingzhou, summoned the generals currently in Yuwei County to discuss matters.

Bajun is close to Jingzhou. When Liu Bei led his army to Yuwei County, he suddenly had more information about the war situation in Jingzhou.

At this time, in the meeting hall of the Yufu County Government, Liu Bei, the King of Hanzhong, was sitting at the top looking at the information in his hands.

The ministers from Chengdu he brought this time, as well as the generals who had been summoned by his king to come to Yuwei County first, were all gathered below him at this moment, waiting for his next king's order.

Because the police are further away from Yizhou, what Liu Bei is looking at now is the battle report of Mi Yang's victory over Sun Huan that was sent not long ago.

After reading Mi Yang's battle report, a smile finally appeared on Liu Bei's worried face.

He said to Xu Jingyan who was standing aside, "You really know people."

When he was outside Sheshan in Chengdu, Xu Jing once praised Mi Yang to Liu Bei: he was smart and changeable, and he knew everything he could do.

The battle report sent by Mi Yang now details the battle between him and Sun Huan.

In the eyes of a military expert like Liu Bei, Mi Yang was worthy of such praise from Xu Jing.

Now Liu Bei loves Mi Yang more and more.

He had been worried that Mi's family would decline after his death, so he took Mi Yang with him to train him since he was a child, hoping that he would make great achievements when he grew up.

But now Mi Yang has really achieved some results according to his expectations.

I feel that Liu Bei, who has personally cultivated a talented person, feels a sense of joy and satisfaction that others cannot understand.

At this time, a general in the hall came out and said to Liu Bei:

"Your Majesty, the ancients said that if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. This can inspire the people to conquer anything."

"The former General Secretary first had the merits of eradicating traitors in the police force, and later he had the merits of defeating Sun Huan. Such great achievements cannot go without reward."

The person who came out to advise Liu Bei to reward Mi Yang was Li Yan, the current general assisting the Han Dynasty.
