Datang ancient martial arts system

Chapter 367
After fighting for several days, Cao Jun didn't take advantage of it, but lost troops and generals, which made Cao Cao feel heavy.

Not only that, but Jiangdong also has a catapult with a longer range, which also puzzled Cao Cao. He was the first to use the Thunderbolt catapult, so why is Jiangdong's better? It's top secret.

If it’s just that, that’s all. Using the sinews of the evil dragon to make fifty crossbows with three bows and eight bulls, Cao Cao has suffered a lot. The crossbows with thick arms not only bring damage, but also have a huge deterrent effect. , Increased Cao Jun's huge psychological pressure.

In terms of advisers, Cao Cao not only has top figures such as Guo Jia and Jia Xu, but also has a think tank of nearly a hundred people, but Jiangdong also has Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Lu Su, these three masters, and Situ Changfeng, a half-assed, and Lu Xun who just grew up.Not inferior to Cao Jun.

The two sides fought back and forth for more than half a month, and the terrain was undecided. Cao Jun lost nearly [-] soldiers, while Jiangdong only died [-], seriously injured [-], and slightly injured [-].Basically all the wounded soldiers in Jiangdong were treated, that is, there were only injuries, and not many died after injuries.

The accumulation of advantages bit by bit made Cao Cao lose his confidence, but he had no choice but to fire. Now he had no way out and could only find a way to defeat or repel Sun Ce.Because once retreating, not only will the morale be lost, but the morale of the army and the people will also be lost, and Sun Ce will inevitably take the opportunity to march, at least he will lose the land of Jingzhou. The nearby Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and maybe even directly face Jiangdong's soldiers. There are more places to defend that way.

Cao Cao wanted to defeat Sun Ce, but now Sun Ce was not in a hurry, and often began to take the initiative to avoid battles, and he focused on defense when he couldn't avoid it.

Years of bumper harvests have made Jiangdong's grain stocks very rich, so after further discussion, a policy of delay was decided, because it is difficult to achieve victory with ordinary combat tactics, and even if you can win by fighting hard, it is a tragic victory, which is impossible. Pick.

Delay is a conspiracy, Cao Cao must understand, but if he wants to break the trick, he has no choice but to attack by force.

"Despicable, shameless, Sun Wentai gave birth to a cowardly child!" Cao Cao walked up and down in the big tent, angrily shouting and cursing. Today, he attacked for a day, but he added [-] casualties, and made no progress. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

After cursing, Cao Cao couldn't help reaching out to press his forehead and rubbing it vigorously.

"My lord! Ahem!" Guo Jia looked worriedly at Cao Cao, who was having a headache.

"No problem!" Cao Cao frowned and waved his hands, then asked, "Feng Xiao, is there a way to break the situation?"

"My lord, there is nothing I can do unless there are reinforcements." Guo Jia smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Reinforcement? We still have reinforcements? Liu Bei occupied Xiliang, but the Ma family has a grudge against us. Brother Ma'er is now relying on him. How could he send troops to help?" Cao Cao frowned.

"My lord's so-called enmity and hatred are not worth mentioning in front of interests, not to mention that in order to fight for the world, all major hatreds can be put aside." Jia Xu interjected.

"What's Wen He's plan?" Cao Cao asked eagerly, his expression relaxed.

"After Liu Bei claimed to be King Jing of Zhongshan, the royal family was authentic. My lord can let His Majesty issue an order to crusade against Sun Ce. In Xu Yizhong's position, he will not be tempted if he is not ugly. Even if it is just a bluff, it can increase the pressure on Sun Ce.

Sun Ce darkened Shuzhong to control most of it. The lord can lobby Zhang Lu to attack it, which can also draw Jiangdong's energy. Only when the situation becomes chaotic can we win in chaos. "Jia Xu analyzed.

"That's right! Only when there is chaos can they be thrown into chaos." Cao Cao agreed.

Finally, a decent solution was found. Cao Cao felt more relaxed, his head didn't hurt anymore, he cheered up and started writing letters.

Han Sui in Liangzhou killed Ma Teng with the support of Cao Cao, but was defeated by Liu Bei and had to flee. He was placed in Guanzhong by Cao Cao to guard Chang'an, while Xiliang was occupied by Liu Bei. He not only got a piece of land, but also received Ma Chao brothers As a subordinate, it can be said that his strength has greatly increased.

Finally, he had a piece of territory that was not small and belonged to him, and it was not dangerous. Liu Bei was finally satisfied.

It's just that the good times didn't last long. Seeing Cao Cao and Sun Ce, each with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, looking at their 2 horses, they inevitably felt a little uncomfortable, and began to worry about their own safety.

"Your Majesty granted me the title of Shepherd of Liangzhou, the titles of my second brother as Prefect of Changsha, and third brother as Prefect of Jiangxia, and asked us to send troops to attack Sun Ce. What do you think of this matter?" Liu Bei put down the letter and asked happily.

"This is just Cao Cao's plan to drive away wolves and tigers. Now he and Sun Ce are fighting in Jingzhou, and they can't attack. This is how to lure them to benefit.

But Cao Cao's righteousness is in hand, we have to make concessions for it. "Zhuge Kongming, holding a feather fan, clasped his hands gracefully and analyzed.

"The military division means not to send troops?"

"No, sending troops is just for show, there is no need to actually fight. In this way, the face is also given, and the official position is justified. But Changsha, Jiang Xia doesn't have to think about it."

"So much is fine, let Zilong take five thousand cavalry for a trip." Liu Bei agreed.

"Zilong is careful and prudent. It is most suitable for him to go with his nephew and uncle," Zhuge Liang suggested.

"good!"

Xiangyang City! !

"Why has Cao Cao been so calm in the past half a month, and he is all feigning attacks? I don't know what kind of tricks he is trying to pull up?" Sun Ce said puzzled.

"As long as we don't mess ourselves up, Cao Cao certainly has nothing to do. Even if he has a plan, it's just a trick, so don't worry too much, my lord." Lu Su persuaded.

"Having said that, I'm still a little worried." Sun Strategy said slightly uneasy.

"If my subordinate guessed correctly, Cao Cao must have found reinforcements to disturb our morale." Zhou Yu said with certainty, eyes half-closed.

"It should be Liu Bei from Xiliang, and Zhang Lu from Hanzhong. It's just a team of cleanliness, so don't worry about it, my lord." Pang Tong continued.

"Well, since both Gongjin and the military adviser think so, I'm relieved, but I still need to think of a way to retreat from the enemy. There are too many variables to wait." See the two most trusted think tanks, both For one thing, Sun Ce felt relieved and asked again.

"This subordinate has no good solution, but Yihu has been busy recently, so he should think about it, why not ask him to talk about it." Pang Tong said with a smile.

"Oh!" Sun Ce couldn't help turning his head to look at Situ Changfeng when he heard that.

"The subordinate has thought of a stupid way, and I don't know if it will work."

"Say it, say it!" Sun Ce hurriedly urged.

"The subordinates have trained 2 people, 1 cavalry, and [-] infantry. The cavalry is [-] heavy cavalry dragon spearmen, [-] light cavalry crossbowmen, and [-] infantry are called Xuanshui armored soldiers. You can deploy Xuanshui armored soldiers. With [-] men, the subordinates are confident that they can defend against [-] cavalry or [-] infantry." Situ Changfeng explained.
