After Sun Quan and his troops retreated in large ships and returned to the border of Jiangdong.

The Battle of Hefei, which lasted for nearly half a month, also came to an end with Cao Jun's victory!

After this battle.

The various units of the Wu army suffered heavy losses to each other.

With the loss of troops and generals, military morale and fighting spirit were extremely low.

Zhang Liao's unstoppable deeds of attacking a 100,000-strong army formation with more than 800 men and advancing and retreating freely have also become a good story in various parts of Jiangbei.

It became a favorite story among scholars and people after dinner.

Zhang Liao also made everyone in Wuzhong feel unforgettable fear in this battle!

When this matter spread to the land of Jingxiang and even the border of Yizhou.

The soldiers and people in various states and counties could not help but show expressions of disbelief.

The capital is Gangneung.

When Guan Yu first received this letter, a look of confusion appeared on his rosy face.

"He led an army of 100,000 troops to attack Hefei, but was killed and lost all his troops and generals, and the morale of the army was completely lost?"

"How did this happen?"

Picking up the military report sent by the spy in his hand, Guan Yu felt a little unbelievable for a moment.

A hundred thousand people were defeated by a mere seven thousand people?

Guan Yu thought for a while, and it seemed that this matter was beyond his knowledge.

Can this be defeated?

Undeniable!

Hefei is indeed a fortified city and it is not easy to conquer.

But even if it can't be conquered.

It’s not like he was defeated one after another by thousands of defenders, right?

Guan Yu had some doubts about how he could organize his troops.

When continuing to read the military newspaper.

Only four words came to his mind to describe it: "I can't bear to look at it!"

It's impossible to judge the level of military command.

Immediately, his face became serious again and he began to consider the next battle situation.

Now the war situation in the east of Cao's army has been lifted.

Wu Jun's new defeat means that there is no room for progress in the short term.

Then Cao Jun would have extra military strength to dispatch.

He must be careful if he continues to stalemate with Cao's troops in northern Jing.

He pondered for a while.

He thought for a while before ordering all the troops to retreat slowly.

Considering the current situation.

It doesn't make much sense for him to continue sending troops to harass Cao's army in the hinterland.

It's better to go back and rest first.

Don’t make good plans!

Guan Yu was also a decisive person.

Having made the decision, he immediately ordered his son Guan Ping to go to the front line to deliver orders.

at the same time.

The commander-in-chief Lu Su, who was stationed at Lukou, naturally also received the news that his superior Sun Quan personally led a large number of people, claiming to have more than 100,000 people, to expedition to Hefei in the north and was defeated.

General Chen Wu died in battle.

I just got this military report.

Lu Su didn't show the slightest expression on his face.

Just bursts of silence.

Then, he walked out of the camp and stopped facing the endless river, silent for a long time.

He just let out a long sigh leisurely.

Although he didn't say anything, his face was already full of complex colors.

He knows.

Perhaps after this battle, given the character of the Lord Sun Quan, he might give up the idea of ​​the Northern Expedition and continue to focus on Jingzhou on the western front.

And the stability of the Sun-Liu Alliance is becoming increasingly precarious!

This was also after our own army was defeated.

The thing that worries Lu Su the most right now!

Why did he urge his leader to launch an expedition to the north, capture the important town of Hefei, and then advance into other places north of the Yangtze River?

Naturally, we want to maintain the Sun-Liu alliance.

He also understands that in troubled times there are no permanent allies, only eternal interests.

But even if the two families are falling out, now is not the time.

Probably because Cao Jun now monopolizes the northern states.

The power is still well-deservedly strong.

The two families can only work together to conquer.

Only then did we have the opportunity to defeat the strong with the weak.

If the two families are at odds now.

No matter which side invades Jingzhou.

It will be a lose-lose situation for both sides.

Our side can conquer the counties in Jingzhou even without any bloodshed.

You will also lose the ability to make progress.

"With the strength of Jiangdong, if we advance into the Jingxiang area, our inherent military strength will not be able to support a two-front battle."

"At that time, how can we make progress when we are alone under the defensive pressure from the east and west fronts?"

"If we can first seize the entire Jianghuai land and the Huaihe River Basin, we can advance, attack, retreat and defend!"

"If the time is right, we can send out a large army and attack Xuzhou along the waterway. We can also take Xudu directly, or we can attack Qiaojun, the ancestral land of the Cao family."

"Even if Cao's army adopts a defensive stance and marches south again, it will not be able to threaten the mainland of Jiangdong."

"At that time, the lord will turn against the Liu family and send troops to fight for the ownership of Jingxiang, and Su will not stop him."

At this moment, Lu Su's thoughts were racing, and various pictures kept flying into his mind.

A wry smile gradually appeared on his face.

He couldn't bear to see what happened next.

"well!"

Lu Su stopped for a long time, and then sighed: "I'm afraid that the Sun-Liu alliance is still not strong enough to join hands in severely damaging the Cao family, and the two families may have to fight against each other!"

When I think of this.

Lu Su's cheeks seemed to suddenly feel hesitant.

He was a little unwilling.

The Sun-Liu Alliance was built with his own efforts.

He doesn't want great things to go unfulfilled.

It's broken into pieces!

But now it seems that the alliance has reached its end.

The two families were as close as before and after Chibi.

The current two alliances are already full of crises.

All it takes is a hard push from outside and it will break.

With uneasiness in mind, Lu Su slowly returned to the camp.
