As Sun Ce's reputation has improved a lot, Sun Ce's army's offensive has also become much stronger. The latest chapter of Summoning the Doomsday Heavenly Court has been widely circulated among the people. Because many people have spread the rumor that Sun Ce's army loves the people like his sons, and he will also take the initiative to give food and grass to the people. This made the people of Huainan very optimistic.
This is undoubtedly very bad news for Liu Jun. Liu Jun itself does not have many soldiers defending the city. With the common people, they can share the burden of blocking many Sun Ce's army's offensive. As Sun Ce's reputation gradually improved a lot, The common people rarely help Liu Jun defend the city.
For the common people, although Liu Bei has a good reputation, they cannot afford to lose their lives for Liu Bei. For the common people, as long as they have food to eat and land to grow, how can they think of giving up their lives?
Sun Ce's army also said that as long as they did not join Liu Jun and participated in Liu Jun's defense of the city, Sun Ce's soldiers would not harm the people at all. Therefore, as long as the people of Huainan did not act rashly, Sun Ce's army would guarantee their lives.
Moreover, some people kept advocating the benefits of Sun Ce's rule. Although Liu Jun's officers and soldiers took precautions against this, it was difficult to stop the messages that kept coming. As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, and the messages continued to spread in the ears of the people. Teleportation, even if it is false, becomes real.
Suffering from Yuan Shao's devastation, the people of Huainan yearned for Sun Ce's rule. Although the situation in Huainan was much better with Liu Bei in Huainan, the problem is that Liu Bei is not in Huainan now, and no one knows whether Liu Bei will come back. .
Not only the people of Huainan have lost confidence, but also the soldiers defending the city in Huainan have lost confidence in Liu Bei. Almost all of these defenders are soldiers recruited by Liu Jun and Liu Bei not long ago. At most, they have a little training. Naturally, the trained farmers would not be very loyal to Liu Bei.
Moreover, Sun Ce was very cruel to Liu Jun's soldiers, so this frightened Liu Jun's soldiers. After all, they did not want to lose their lives like this. Moreover, Sun Ce's treatment was pretty good. As long as Liu Jun chose to surrender, they would not Will use extreme measures to deal with surrendering soldiers.
With all kinds of news, Liu Jun finally could not resist the offensive of Sun Ce's army. The army was defeated like a mountain. Without the support of reinforcements, it was obvious that Liu Jun's officers and soldiers could not withstand Sun Ce's army's offensive. Especially after Zhou Yu's ingenious plan Under this circumstance, Liu Jun was no longer a match for Sun Ce's army.
However, Sun Ce's army's offensive can only stop here, because Cao Cao's army has approached Huainan. Although Sun Ce is not afraid of Cao Jun, now is not the time for a decisive battle with Cao Jun. Sun Ce now has to gather strength, otherwise he will not Instead of plundering the population, they conquered the city.
Under Zhou Yu's dissuasion, Sun Ce finally began to withdraw, taking many civilians and baggage with him. The marching speed of Sun Ce's army was naturally conceivable. However, the marching speed of Cao's army was not fast, and Zhou Yu's foresight made Sun Ce The army withdrew in an orderly manner.
Naturally, Sun Ce's robbery did not escape Cao Cao's ears, but when Zhao Fei and Sun Ce were compared, Cao Cao still chose Zhao Fei. Now that he and Sun Ce were across the river, it was not the time to fight Sun Ce.
Moreover, Cao Cao's military strength is now strong, so he does not attach great importance to Huainan. If it were not for this willingness, Cao Cao would not have left Liu Bei a chance to capture Huainan. Now, if Liu Bei had not taken the initiative to attack him, Cao Cao would not want to pay attention to him.
Of course, this is secondary. The most important thing is that Cao Cao knew that Zhao Fei was injured. After all, he couldn't hold on to his life. Although Zhao Fei tried his best to cover up the fact that he was injured, Zhao Fei finally Still need to face Cao Cao.
After learning that Zhao Fei was injured, Cao Cao was obviously a little angry. He was determined to win, but he didn't expect that Zhao Fei would be injured because of it. Although Zhao Fei's injuries were caused by trying to capture Guan Yu and Zhang Fei alive, Cao Cao still reprimanded him. Zhao Fei said something.
Cao Cao was obviously very happy to have captured Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but all his happiness was overshadowed by Zhao Fei's injury. He would rather kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but Cao Cao also hopes that Zhao Fei is not injured.
Although Zhao Fei only suffered some minor injuries, this also shocked Cao Cao. He didn't know what Zhao Fei's physical condition was, but he knew that Zhao Fei's body could not be easily injured. After all, Zhao Fei's body The condition is still very weak.
Although Zhao Fei kept telling Cao Cao that he was fine, Cao Cao was still worried. He wanted to order people to send Zhao Fei back to Xuchang several times, but he was afraid that Zhao Feizhou would be injured due to fatigue.
Due to the unstable factor of Zhao Fei, Cao Jun's marching speed was absolutely slow. It was precisely because of Zhao Fei's presence that Cao Jun returned to host Sun Ce and wreaked havoc in Huainan for so long.
The retreat of Sun Ce's army was undoubtedly a good thing for Liu Jun, but just after leaving the wolf's den and entering the tiger's mouth, as Sun Ce's army retreated, Cao Jun came again with great force. Presumably for Sun Ce, what Liu Jun feared the most was seeing Cao Jun.
There is no hatred between Sun Ce and Liu Jun. Although Sun Ce's methods are brutal, they are far behind compared with Cao Cao. Now that Liu Bei is taking the initiative to attack Cao Cao, one can imagine how much hatred Cao Cao has for Liu Bei.
You know, Liu Bei betrayed Cao Cao, and then took advantage of Cao Cao's unpreparedness to capture Huainan. Not to mention, after capturing Huainan, Liu Bei stabbed Cao Cao in the back, which was somewhat of a betrayal. .
When Lu Bu attacked Xu Shu secretly, it was Cao Cao who gave Liu Bei a place to stay. If it weren't for Cao Cao, God knows what Liu Bei's situation would be like. Therefore, Cao Cao would never let Liu Bei go easily.
In addition to this, Cao Cao appeared here but Liu Bei did not appear, which made Liu Jun's officers and soldiers couldn't help but speculate. Liu Bei was fighting Cao Jun. Now Cao Jun has appeared, but they did not see anyone from Liu Jun.
Even if Liu Bei was defeated, everyone could see a few Liu Jun retreating from the front line. But even these Liu Jun soldiers had not seen it, which made the Liu Jun soldiers not know what happened on the front line.
Sun Ce's offensive has made it difficult for Liu Jun to resist, let alone Cao Jun, whose combat effectiveness is more powerful than Sun Ce. Moreover, now that Cao Jun's army is attacking, the entire Cao Jun army numbers tens of thousands, while the number of Cao Jun soldiers defending the city is only a handful. The result of the battle can be imagined. All Liu Jun soldiers were confused.
If Liu Bei had just been defeated, he would still have a chance to withdraw. But now that Liu Bei has lost his whereabouts, Liu Jun's soldiers no longer think so. Moreover, even if Liu Bei comes back, he will have no ability to turn things around. After all, even if Even if a miracle occurs, it will be difficult for tens of thousands of Cao's troops to disappear.
Liu Jun, who lost any fighting spirit, was captured by Cao Jun in a very short period of time. Except for some Liu Bei's stubborn forces who escaped from the disaster with thousands of soldiers, most of the other Liu Jun soldiers surrendered to Cao Jun.
Cao Cao frowned deeply after taking Huainan easily. Today's Huainan is in a dilapidated state. Under Sun Ce's attack, many cities have become empty cities without any life inside.
Huainan was not favored by Cao Cao to begin with, and after this incident, Cao Cao hated this place even more. However, for Zhao Fei, Huainan was a good buffer point to buffer the relationship between Cao Jun and Sun Ce.
Sun Ce is a person, and Zhou Yu beside him is not an easy person to deal with. But apart from the two of them, the natural barrier of the Yangtze River that blocks the two forces is what Zhao Fei fears the most.
Cao Jun has no navy at all, and they will definitely not be Sun Ce's opponent. After all, they have been in the Yangtze River for a long time, and their experience in water warfare is much better than Cao Jun. Of course, there is also a very important point. Zhao Fei is still very good at the Battle of Chibi. Shadowed.
With him here, although Zhao Fei doesn't know whether the Battle of Chibi will happen, Zhao Fei still has to deal with it carefully. The Battle of Chibi will definitely be an arduous battle. Zhao Fei has no confidence to prevent it from happening, but he still has to deal with it. Make adequate preparations for the Battle of Chibi.
Under Zhao Fei's persuasion, Cao Cao finally decided to occupy Huainan. Of course, Zhao Fei's purpose was not to gain territory here, but to train his navy.
A man who has no long-term plans will always have short-term worries, so it will be too late to train the naval army until the Battle of Chibi. This is what Cao Cao did back then, but in the end he ushered in the most tragic failure.
In addition to training the navy, Zhao Fei's other purpose is to train a navy general, or take this opportunity to go to Jingzhou and Yangzhou and need a good navy general. You know, during the Battle of Chibi, none of Cao Fei's army could win The naval generals who took action included two surrendered generals, but they were killed by Zhou Yu's trick.
Without a navy general, even if Zhao Fei knew how to deal with Zhou Yu's plan, it would be difficult for Zhao Fei to defeat Sun Ce's troops on the Yangtze River.
After everything was arranged, Cao Cao led Cao's army to withdraw. This battle was not bad for Cao's army. Not only did they eliminate Liu Bei's forces, but they also captured Liu Bei's two sworn brothers.
Cao Cao never refuses talents. However, this time the talents did not give Cao Cao a good look. Cao Cao really wanted to recruit Guan Yu, but Guan Yu ignored Cao Cao at all.
However, Cao Cao did not give up at all. He had a perseverance spirit. He treated Guan Yu with small favors every day, but Guan Yu obviously still did not give Cao Cao a good look.
Cao Cao's actions made Zhao Fei feel funny. In his opinion, Cao Cao's efforts were in vain. Historically, Cao Cao also treated Guan Yu in the same way. He knew that Cao Cao gave the red rabbit and horse to Guan Yu, but Guan Yu finally left Cao Cao and then He traveled thousands of miles to join Liu Bei.
But now that Zhao Fei is here, he will never let this happen. If Cao Cao can't bear to kill Guan Yu, then Zhao Fei definitely plans to imprison Guan Yu for the rest of his life. He will not let the tiger go back to the mountain. He finally caught this tiger, how could he do it easily? Let go.
