Chapter 223 Cao Cao’s vain hope

Translated by Gamerendlessfantasytranslationscom

“Milord, what happened!?” Guo Jia was puzzled Cao Cao was closing his eyes and was thinking for a long ti the report His face sometimes showed an expression of joy and sometimes also frowned What happened exactly?

Guo Jia did not care about his position and took the report fro the report, his face became like Cao Cao’s!

(TN: Sounds infectious, let’s stay away froence report said that Zhou Yu’s Navy was defeated at Jiangxia Over 5,000 soldiers were lost, only leaving behind over 20,000 soldiers out of the original 30,000 soldiers Zhou Yu’s navy could only avoid fighting out of desperation and Jiangxia was once again occupied by Liu Biao

Liu Biao was once pressured by Sun Ce to the extent that even Zhou Yu and his army of 30,000 navy soldiers was not afraid of Liu Biao’s navy of 70,000 However, Zhou Yu was now defeated The one that made the most contributions to the battle was Lu Bu’s neeapon It was not concealed any naval camp between Sun Ce’s Ar’s navy to be defeated and did not send any spies They never expected Gan Ning’s navy to win and co shame to Sun Ce which is why the Sun Ce’s Ar the ballistae and did not want to e This is why the spies did not obtain much inforzhou’s Liu Biao has finally defeated Zhou Yu’s navy Zhou Yu is one of the biggest figure in Jiangdong He was Jiangdong’s second best person! It can be said that there would not be a Jiangdong if Zhou Yu was not present Now this person has exia How could Liu Biao not publicize this incident?

This was Jingzhou’s first victory against Sun Ce ever since they have been pressured Although the Lu Bu’s Army may have helped a bit, it was still a victory! Besides that, although Zhou Yu did not lose xia This is still a big victory Liu Biao naturally wanted to tell all the other warlords that he is not a complete failure and to warn Cao Cao not to attack As a result, Cao Cao found out about the power of the ballista!

“300 paces away, able to shoot through the towered shi+ps, able to shoot five arrows!” Cao Cao was pleased because he finally obtained the information about the ballista However, he frowned because he does not have the ballista What is he to do if someone uses that weapon on hi and find Lu Bu! We want this weapon as well!” Cao Cao roared ier be threatened by Yuan Shao on the Huanghe River After sending theer need to fear Yuan Shao at all as he could directly block Yuan Shao’s troops at Hebei!

“Yes!” Guo Jia nodded He was also aht

“Feng Xiao If Lu Bu had this weapon, why did he not use this at Xuzhou!?” Cao Cao was puzzled If Lu Bu used this weapon at Xuzhou, his army would receive heavy casualties and victory would not be so certain

“I am also not sure!” Guo Jia shook his head “If it is like this, there are only two possibilities The first one is that the weapon is fake” This assumption is unlikely as Liu Biao has defeated Zhou Yu How could this information be fake? It is unlikely that the two allied each other to give out fake information “The second one is that Lu Bu only obtained this weapon after the battle at Xuzhou!” This assumption is more reasonable as Lu Bu would have already used it on Xuzhou if he had it then!

It was also possible with Chen Gong’s personality as he hated Cao Cao

“It could only be the second possibility!” Cao Cao also agreed that Lu Bu must have obtained the weapon after his defeat at Xuzhou!

“However, who gave this weapon to Lu Bu?” Cao Cao never stopped having his intelligence network around Lu Bu because he feared Lu Bu Lu Bu only had a few generals like Gao Shun, Zang Ba and Zhang Liao These 3 people were experts in war but weren’t scholars Asking the was already eliood at sche Zhong and Xu Sheng were also not the kind of person who could invent things

It could only be that person Guo Jia and Cao Cao finally said his na!” Cao Cao and Guo Jia could not think of anybody else He see Cao Cao He saved Lu Bu and even ale City He was not a scribe as he went out to fight as well However, he was also not a general as his martial arts is terrible
