"How outrageous. We came here under the emperor's order to crusade against the false emperor. You, the Sun family, actually killed our soldiers indiscriminately. You must be in the same party as those rebellious officials and traitors!"
"Brothers, kill me, kill all these rebellious officials and traitors!" Cao Chun looked at Meng Kai who refused to fall. Although he was laughing wildly in his heart, he looked sad on the surface and roared.
Just now, Huang Gai, a veteran with a tough personality, quickly killed Meng Kai even though he was injured, just because he was worried that someone would rescue Meng Kai. But he never thought that Cao Chun had already given up on Meng Kai at that time.
"Brothers, kill them all and avenge our soldiers!" Cao Kerang, who had just killed Huang Chao, was the first to respond.
Things have developed to this point, and this time, Cao Cao's plan was basically successful.
In fact, this time Cheng Yu proposed a strategy to Cao Cao. On the surface, it aimed directly at Huang Chao, but its real purpose was to use the dead Sun Jian to do something. As Cheng Yu expected, he succeeded in his plan this time.
From the moment Cheng Pu and Huang Gai took action, this plan had been successful.
Cheng Yu's plan was not just for the remaining half of Huang Chao's county. What they were really interested in was the three counties of the Sun family.
Why did Cao Cao nominally launch his army this time? He accepted the emperor's order to attack the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu, and Huang Chao happened to be nominally a subordinate of the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu. It can even be said that this time, Cao Cao's army was the king's.
division.
But now, the generals of the Sun clan are taking action against Master Wang, which can be regarded as rebellion. Therefore, things will be easier to handle after that.
Next, Cao's army, which has been prepared for a long time, will launch a sudden attack on the territory of the Sun family. One side has been planning for a long time, but the other side was unprepared. One side's neighbor Chi You is sending troops to other places at this time, and
At this time, the other side still had to confront some of Yuan Shu's troops.
If this battle breaks out, you can imagine who will win and who will lose in the end. The Sun family's big trouble is really coming.
This time, even though smart people can see the subtlety involved and know that the Sun family fell into Cao Cao's scheme, they can't say anything. Who makes the Sun family inferior in skill to others? Therefore, with
The reason why Cao Cao sent troops this time was not easy for Li Xiang to interfere with even if he openly stated it.
As for Sun Jian's question, Cao Chun had already given the reason on the spot. They mistook him for Huang Chao's people.
On the Sun side, the leader of this battle, Zhou Yu, like Bai Qi, Han Xin, Li Jing and others, was the commander-in-chief who was sitting among the tens of thousands of troops and strategizing.
Therefore, when emergencies like this one occur at the front, to a large extent, the generals at the front are relied upon to make their own judgments and decisions, but these commanders are unable to make reasonable decisions in the first time.
But this time, those who encountered such an unexpected situation happened to be generals like Cheng Pu and Huang Gai who were impatient. Coupled with their special relationship with Sun Jian, it was easy for them to fall into the enemy's scheme.
But if Cao Jun encountered a commander like Xue Rengui this time, who was always charging forward, then Xue Rengui might have dealt with this emergency personally, and the chance of success in the calculation would be greatly reduced.
"You, the eunuch, are so shameless!" At this time, Cheng Pu also noticed something was wrong, and shouted angrily after flying away one of Cao's soldiers with a spear.
"Old man, beg for death!" Cao Kerang was about to take action, but several cold arrows from nowhere came quietly. Cao Kerang was so shocked that he immediately waved his gun to block.
"General Cheng, General Huang, don't panic, Wu Jie is here!"
"Thieves Cao should stop being so arrogant. I'm here, Lu Xiong!"
Several angry shouts came in succession, but Cao Chun was shocked. More and more Sun troops gathered here.
"Zihe, General Tian ordered us to evacuate the city temporarily!" Cao Ding emerged from nowhere and quickly gave Tian Ji's instructions.
"Retreat, send the order, retreat immediately!" Cao Chun said immediately.
Cao Chun is a man who knows the military, so he naturally understands the reason for Tian Ji's retreat at this time. The ten thousand of them are all cavalry, and the most suitable battlefield for the cavalry is the plain terrain. They cannot launch an effective charge in the city. Fight again.
If you go down, you will use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points.
Moreover, these 10,000 cavalrymen are basically 80% of Cao Cao's cavalry worth. Without enough sources of horses, their cavalry cannot be quickly replenished. Therefore, they need to avoid large-scale damage as much as possible.
Instead of consuming each other in the city, it is better to take a step back. As long as they leave the city, the high sea and vast sea will be the most advantageous battlefield for their cavalry. What's more, their goal has been completed this time, so there is no need to worry about this city.
A pool of gains and losses.

"My lord, please explain this matter to me!" After the battle, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai dragged their injured bodies and said in distress.
Previously, if Wu Jie and Lu Xiong had not arrived with reinforcements in time, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai would probably no longer exist.
"Hey, my lord is like this, so I can only hide it for now!" Regarding the matter of the old lord Sun Jian, Zhou Yu did not dare to speak directly to Sun Ce at this time. With Sun Ce's current physical condition, it is the time when he needs to rest. If he
Knowing this, I'm afraid this injury will happen again.
"What's the current movement of Cao's army!" Zhou Yu asked, changing the subject.
Things had developed to the point where they were now. Zhou Yu thought through his thoughts carefully again, and he had almost guessed Cao Cao's intention of sending troops this time.
Cao Cao's appetite is really big, and he actually wants to annex the entire Sun clan. Although the Sun clan has suffered losses due to various reasons during this period, Cao Cao's previous losses were not low!
However, it is precisely because of this that he also understands the seriousness of the situation. If the Sun family does not respond appropriately this time, I am afraid that they will really face the danger of collapse this time. After all, they have always faced enemies.
Cao Cao is not the only one. A large part of the Sun family's troops have been tied up by Xian Zhen.
Yuan Shu's intentions were quite vicious. When they dealt with Huang Chao, he asked Xian Zhen to send out a troop of soldiers and horses to threaten them all the time. Although the other party did not really fight, they had to be on guard all the time, which required containment.
They have a lot of troops.
If it weren't for Yuan Shu who had been stumbling around behind their backs, I'm afraid Cao Cao wouldn't have been so determined this time and prepared to deal with the Sun family with all his strength. If it weren't for Yuan Shu's presence, I'm afraid Cao Cao's goal this time would really be just...
The half of the county of Huang Chao is now occupied, instead of the three counties of the Sun clan.
