Chapter 707 (1/2)
Cao Cao praised Zhou Yu so much. Cheng Yu nodded his head and agreed: ”the prime minister said it is true. I heard that sun CE had left a last word to his younger brother Sun Quan before he died, saying,” you can't ask Zhang Zhao about internal affairs, and you can't ask Zhou Yu about foreign affairs. ”
”I can't imagine that Zhou Yu is just a weak scholar, but he can fight so well.”
Dianwei beside Cao Cao scratched his head and did not dare to set up a channel.
”Ha ha, Zi man. Meng Ben and Xia Yu were both brave men, but they could not lead the army in the battle Cao Cao said with a smile.
”Well, I can't lead the war for the prime minister, but I will fight to protect the prime minister's safety.” Dianwei patted his chest.
Cao Zhen, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: ”prime minister, now that Zixiao uncle is trapped in the Jiangdong army, our army can send troops to meet Jiangdong soldiers. On the one hand, the trapped soldiers and horses are exhausted. Our army can rescue Zixiao uncle and our cavalry. Second, if we cooperate with Zixiao uncle inside and outside, it is not difficult to defeat Jiangdong army.”
Cao Cao nodded approvingly: ”Zidan said well, Wenlie, you should learn more from Zi Dan.”
Cao Xiu nodded solemnly: ”after the war, you must go back to read more about war.”
”Good.”
Cao Cao ordered: ”Zihe, rulingzi Dan and a thousand cavalry.”
”No Cao Chun and Cao Zhen agreed.
Cao Cao said: ”Wen Qian, you lead ten thousand soldiers as the vanguard and approach the Jiangdong army. Wen lie will act as your deputy general and study hard.”
Happy into Cao Xiu, they also agreed.
”Bear in mind that the infantry and cavalry should cooperate with each other to stabilize the situation. First, they should rescue Zixiao's headquarters, and then confront the Jiangdong army. If it is not for the Jiangdong army's attack or the prime minister's order, it is not allowed to engage the Jiangdong army.”
”No!”
Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and lejin agreed in unison, and then they led the army.
Cao Chun led a thousand steeds, which were tigers and leopards. However, as the horse armor was still being made, it was still only ”leopard riding” for the time being.
Instead of galloping, a thousand leopards marched in formation. At the same time, lejin also led the ten thousand Cao troops. One of the four big formations followed lejin and moved slowly towards the direction of Jiangdong army. The thousand leopard horses and the ten thousand Cao Army soldiers kept a steady rhythm and moved forward.
”Our army will follow suit.”
With a big wave of Cao Cao's hand, the remaining nearly 30000 troops of Cao also slowly formed up, following Cao Chun, lejin and others.
Step on it!
A total of 40000 troops of Cao troops formed and exhausted. The horses' hooves and feet trampled on the earth, making a roaring sound. It was like a giant beast in the classics of mountains and seas that suddenly appeared on the wilderness and stepped on the earth.
”Dudu, Cao's army is coming. How should our army deal with it?”
Tai Shici sent a sentry to ask Zhou Yu.
”Order Ziyi to release Cao Ren.” Zhou Yu ordered.
”Let it go?” Cheng Pu was surprised: ”isn't this a failure?”
”General Cheng, the five hundred cavalry of the Cao army and Cao Ren's internal and external cooperation just now nearly broke our army's formation. If tens of thousands of Cao's troops and Cao Ren's internal and external cooperation, our army can last for a long time?”
Zhou Yu ordered: ”order Ziyi to open a gap and let Cao Ren go. But don't do nothing. Send more archers to shoot and kill the enemy's cavalry. The more, the better.”
”No!”
”Order! After Cao Ren was released, the whole army gathered outside the north gate of Shu county to deal with Cao's army. ” Zhou Yu said again.
