Chapter 120 The End of the Hero

Sun Quan's navy was wiped out. For this guy who was not used to naval battles, he really had no technical content at all.

His tactics are largely biased towards the water battles in inland lakes, but in fact, it is also because most of his naval generals were once water thieves in the Jiangnan area.

If you fight in the Yangtze River or Dongting Lake, with the relatively narrow environment, Sun Quan's naval army will use boats to restrict the movement of the enemy, and cooperate with the turret and hot turtle oil to achieve great achievements.

But in the vast sea, the ship's great circumference can easily bypass the boats. At that time, as long as you take the opportunity to destroy the big ships and medium warships, the remaining boats will not be able to overturn any waves.

Not to mention, most of the warships under Sun Quan were traditional warships, and there was no progress in imitating Liu Ming's warships. The difference in shipbuilding technology between the two sides was too big, so even though Sun Quan had spent his time catching up, he still couldn't catch up easily.

As a result, using a ship that is backward and not suitable for circling on the sea and fighting a real sea ship is completely a purely tragic act.

Gan Ning made some supplies in Yazhou and led his fleet to kill towards the Wujun location. At the same time, Ma Chao and Ma Dai ended this stage of guerrilla career and returned to Liu Ming's side.

The tactics of Ma Chao and Ma Dai have been used to by Lu Xun. In recent battles, there is almost no way to win under Lu Xun's calculations. Of course, it is not a failure. It can only be said that with the combat effectiveness of the two people and the resentment of the soldiers towards Sun Quan's soldiers, they barely tied with Lu Xun.

However, this was obviously not the casualty rate that Liu Ming needed, so the two of them naturally had to return to the rear. As soon as they returned, Guan Hai, Gao Lan and Cao Xing entered the territory under Sun Quan as the second batch of guerrilla troops.

Perhaps it was because of the change in combat methods, Lu Xun could not help but suffer a little loss when he first came into contact. However, Lu Xun was Lu Xun after all, and he reduced the loss of failure to the minimum. At the same time, he also understood that his enemies had changed a batch, so he had to deduce them again.

During this period, Cao Cao could only say that he was extremely depressed than Sun Quan's overwhelmed.

Liu Ming's guerrilla troops and the main force guarding did not mean to punish him to death, but because of this, this war mode that does not take the initiative but persists in his life, does not deliberately attack the key points, but always shows up to show his presence is very unhappy.

"Have you found out what the army is?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Chen with great dissatisfaction.

"It's not from Liu Ming's side. Liu Ming is a good son-in-law. Time has proved everything. But this group of people always cleverly attacked our key points at the most critical moment. So far, more granaries have been destroyed, and the food on the front line is in a hurry..." Xun Chen wiped the sweat from his head.

"I'm not interested in knowing how much we have lost. What I need to know now is what this army is from." Cao Cao stopped Xun Chen's words.

"Since it's not Liu Ming, then only Sun Quan and Liu Bei." Xun Chen smiled bitterly, he was hinting at this point before.

How could he know that Cao Cao had actually thought of this, and even thought that this army was under Liu Bei's command, but he needed someone to confirm his idea.

"He didn't know that guy Liu Bei was playing with fire." Cao Cao was very confused.

"According to the latest information we have obtained, Chengdu has been beaten down by Liu Ming, but it is empty. I don't know where Liu Bei migrated the people. Now Liu Bei's territory is only the Nanzhong area and Jiaozhou, and signs of defeat have appeared." Xun You stepped forward to report.

"So, we must drag us to death." Cao Cao asked gritted his teeth.

"But it is unlikely that Pang Tong's layout will not be that simple. Besides, Liu Bei has a scheming leader named Xu Shu, and this person's talent is not much worse than Pang Tong." Xun You immediately denied the statement.

"Forget it, it's better not to mention that guy. What I need to know now is how we deal with those guys who always cause trouble for us." Cao Cao simply got to the point.

If they didn't deal with it, they had to retreat, and the soldiers on the front line had already begun to lose food.

"Since Liu Bei can't count on the three alliances of Cao, Sun and Liu, why don't you want Sun Quan to ask for help? At least, it shouldn't be too difficult to get some supplies or something." Liu Ye put forward an opinion.

"Well, that's the case, and I'll arrange someone to ask for help immediately. However, during the time when the east and the west are transported back, how should we deal with the issue of food and grass?" Cao Cao nodded and asked again.

"Most wealthy families in the territory have food and grass reserves, and may buy some emergency responses with them." Xun Chen advised.

"It's okay to buy it, but where does the money come from?" Cao Cao was also very depressed.

"It is okay to lend money from China Merchants Bank. Didn't they say that they are a bank that is neutral for thousands of years? As long as we give the collateral, it should not be a problem to obtain a certain loan from them." Liu Ye took the list.

"It's also a solution... I didn't expect that in the end, we actually borrowed money from our enemies." Cao Cao said with a little ridiculousness.

"Report." But at this time, soldiers rushed to report.

"What's wrong?" Cao Cao asked angrily.

"A army suddenly came outside the city, which had surrounded Changsha." The soldiers said in a hurry.

"What's the way?" Cao Cao stood up suddenly.

"It can be seen from the flag armor that it is undoubtedly Liu Bei." The soldier replied quickly.

"Damn it, the enemy appears here so openly. Could it be that our scouts are dead?" Cao Cao was really angry, and no one has ever received any reward for such a major event.

"The sentry guards in various places have not been reported for nearly a day, and perhaps the sentry has really been killed." Xiahou Dun recalled carefully, and then gave his own opinion.

According to the mechanism of Cao's army, sentries from all over the country change posts once a day, so if soldiers who have not changed shifts return for more than a day, the army will immediately dispatch to guard.

However, Liu Bei calculated the time of this day and rushed to Changsha City in the shortest time and surrounded it.

Cao Cao also knew the mechanism of his army. Because he knew it, he couldn't help but sigh: It is said that soldiers are invincible, and too rigid systems are indeed easy to be exploited.

But what's the use of resentment now? In desperation, Cao Cao could only take everyone to the wall.

"Liu Bei, what do you mean?" Cao Cao looked at the army below and scolded angrily.

"Old Cao, it's fine if you give up your territory, but you came to my territory. Look at the four counties in Jingnan, shouldn't they be my territory? I'm just taking back what originally belonged to me. I have to thank Liu Ming, he can do me a big favor." Liu Bei said without blushing.

"Liu Bei, this is your purpose." Cao Cao realized a possibility.

"Yes, with my desolate land of Bashu, plus a broken Jingbei, it is difficult to resist Liu Ming unilaterally, but the alliance with you is not your own territory after all, I can't believe it. Therefore, why can't we take advantage of Liu Ming's military power to take the opportunity to absorb your two territory into our own name?" Liu Bei did not avoid it and directly expressed his purpose.

I have to say that this is indeed very cruel.

The three alliances were originally intended to jointly resist the powerful Liu Ming. This was originally proposed by Liu Bei. After the two families considered the pros and cons, they agreed. Everyone knew that in the current situation of Liu Ming becoming an adult, it would be unwise to unilaterally resist his attack.

When the war started, he and Sun Quan were probably really working hard to deal with Liu Ming. However, Liu Bei fought against Liu Ming very perfunctorily. If it weren't for the fact that many people had been killed and many generals were captured, Cao Cao and Sun Quan might really have to question Liu Bei's intentions.

Even so, Liu Bei still used this alliance to weaken his ability to fight for a long time. At this stage, even if he wanted to summon soldiers, the lack of food and grass would have enough to disintegrate the morale of the army.

"Old Cao, everyone has met each other at least. Please feel at ease. I will let you leave this world without pain." Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand.

This was an order for attack. Almost at the same time, the soldiers on Liu Bei's side began to attack Changsha. More than fifty artillery guns pulled by Dian horses in the rear were venting shells towards the city gate and the city wall.

"Fight." Cao Cao would not surrender, but he immediately only knew the artillery soldiers on the city wall to fire.

"Report to the Prime Minister, Your Majesty was assassinated and died." But at this critical moment, a soldier hurriedly stepped forward to report.

At that moment, Cao Cao's thinking turned blank.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly." Seeing this, Xun You immediately ordered.

"Just a quarter of an hour ago, a palace maid passed by His Majesty's bedroom. She originally wanted to ask His Majesty to get up and have dinner, but she didn't want to see His Majesty lying on the bed, but she was already in a different place." The soldier reported in a crying voice.

"This..." Xun You was shocked at first, and then he realized something.

It was Liu Bei, and only he would have taken the lead in assassinating the Emperor of Han when he attacked Changsha. Only in this way can he not feel depressed by the Emperor of Han after eating Cao Cao's territory.

Looking at Cao Cao again, he still did not recover from the attack at this moment. Xun You knew that the hero had such a little loyal minister in his heart. He was a Han minister and hoped to help His Majesty revive the Han minister. This was the last trace of persistence in Cao Cao's heart. This persistence would bind him, and he would not usurp the throne even if he died.

This is true in another time and space. He never usurped the throne until his death. He just became a king of Wei. He needed a title to satisfy his last little vanity. As for the usurpation of the throne, he left it to his descendants. In fact, Cao Pi usurped the throne after his death.

It is precisely because of this persistence that Cao Cao really couldn't accept this fact at this moment. His Majesty, who was originally strictly protected, and even his own mobilization of the most elite soldiers to protect him, was actually assassinated.

I was thinking about this problem, but I didn't expect my chest to hurt and my eyes slowly moved down.

But I saw that the soldier had come to him and held a dagger in his hand.

"You..." Cao Cao looked at the soldier weakly.

"Go away." The soldier pulled out his dagger and then quickly hid and fled away.

Yes, he is a disciple of the Natural Sect. Everything before was just for the assassination of Cao Cao. It is ironic to say that he signed the Treaty of Sarcasm a while ago, but now he is playing with this again.

Liu Bei really perfectly explained the saying "The existence of the treaty is for benefiting."

"Meng De, Meng De." Xiahou Dun immediately stepped forward, but Cao Cao's eyes were already dull.

"Yuan Rang...Bei..." Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun with his godless eyes and said three words with difficulty.

Then, all consciousness finally disappeared, and the hand that was intended to stretch out also dropped.

"Meng De,." Xiahou Dun whistled to the sky.
