Chapter 747 (1/2)
”General Xia Hou's expedition across the sea?”
”In this way, is our army in a position to win?”
The Chinese military generals in Cao's camp looked at each other with surprise.
Cao Ren, the commander of the general, stepped out and said, ”prime minister, since Wu county has been besieged by our regiment, it must have been known in Zhou Yu's army that the enemy's morale is in disorder. If our army takes advantage of this opportunity to attack, will it not be a complete victory?”
Cao Xiu also said with a high air: ”what uncle Zixiao said is very true. Since Zhou Yu's military heart is in disorder, why don't our army attack with force?”
”Yes, our army is besieging Wuxian county. The enemy must be in great disorder. This is a good time to attack.”
However, Cao Zhen put forward a different view.
”Zhou Yu's army has been quiet these days. I'm afraid it may not be affected.”
Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhen with approval.
”What Zi Dan said is true. It has been stated in his letter that although Sun Quan was besieged by him for a long time, he did not send a messenger to Zhou Yu for help.”
”The prime minister meant that Zhou Yu did not know that Wu County was under siege yet?” Cheng Yu asked.
Cao Cao nodded.
Cheng Yu said again: ”in this case, we just need to let Zhou Yu know about it?”
Cao Cao laughed: ”what Zhongde said coincides with the original appearance.”
After that, Cao Cao stood up and said generously, ”push out the prisoners of Jiangdong army sent by miaocai, and let them tell Zhou Yu the news in person!”
In recent days, Cao's army has not launched a large-scale offensive, so the Jiangdong army is much more relaxed. After all, ordinary soldiers are not war maniacs. Naturally, they don't want to fight. It is the most important to keep their lives.
Today, however, it seems a little different. The gate of the camp suddenly opens, and Jiang Dongbing on the head of the city trembles. Is it possible that Cao's army will attack the city again?
We can see that the number of Cao troops in the stronghold is not large, and there are only a few thousand in total. They do not carry large-scale siege weapons. It seems that they did not come to attack the city.
Today, Tai Shici is stationed at the north gate of the city. He is a marksman with amazing vision. Therefore, it is easy to see who the Cao army is escorting outside the city.
In front of the Cao army, there was a whole line of Jiangdong soldiers. Their hands were connected by ropes, and their heads were bowed down. Behind them were Cao's cavalry, which was in sharp contrast to the escorted Jiangdong soldiers.
Cao's cavalry drove Jiangdong soldiers forward until they were 100 steps away from the head of the city. In fact, the distance was a bit dangerous. The arrows of Jiangdong army shot down from the city head, which could kill Cao troops outside the city. However, these Cao troops were not worried. In front of them were Jiang Dongbing's captives as shields.
Cao Zhen, the leader of the army, did not make any move. Instead, he saw that the number of Jiangdong soldiers on the head of the city was gathering more and more. Then he ordered: ”let them shout!”
Cao Bing in the front row waved his horse whip without hesitation to the Jiangdong soldier in front of him. The sharp whip tip whipped on Jiang Dongbing's back, and immediately cut his thin clothes and revealed a bloodstain.
”Ah
”Shout to me, hurry up!” Cao Bing said coldly.
”We are soldiers of Wu County. Now Wu county has been besieged by Cao army!”
”Yes, Wu county is surrounded by Cao troops, which is true.”
”We didn't cheat you. Cao Jun really captured Wujun.”
Dozens of Jiangdong soldiers were whipped on their bodies by Cao's horse whip. One by one, they were in great pain. Therefore, the natural cry was huge and spread to the head of the city.
Hearing this, Jiang Dongbing's face was shocked.
”Wu County was captured by Cao army? How did they get there? ”
”Is that true? My hometown is Louxian county. ”
