Chapter 1008 (1/2)
Chaisang city.
”Wenlie, I have to thank you for this time, or my uncle will be buried in Jiangxia city.” Cao Ren said with a bitter smile.
”It's all a family. Why should uncle be polite?” ”The most important thing now is how to deal with the enemy.”
As soon as this was said, all Cao's generals inside and outside the hall were silent and did not know what to say, because the Xiliang army was so powerful that they felt powerless.
”If we stick to Chai sang, we will certainly engage in water warfare with him. Most of our navy divisions are new practitioners. Although most of them are southerners, they are accustomed to water warfare, but after all, they are inexperienced. If we confront the Xiliang water army head-on, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous.” Cao Xiu sighed.
When sun Chai was in the Yangtze River for a long time, he was in a special position to practice in the water area around the Yangtze River. If Cao Jun chose to stay in Chaisang, he would surely have to command the newly trained Navy and fight against Gao Chong's experienced Xiliang Navy, and the consequences are naturally imaginable.
Cao Ren nodded: ”Wenlie is right. In this south of the Yangtze River, the water army is indeed the most important. As the saying goes, the ship in the South and the horse in the north are really true.”
”If we don't stick to Chaisang, will we retreat to Jiangdong six counties? I'm afraid those gentry will not support us at that time. ” Cao Tai worried.
After Liu Biao died, his son Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao got Jingzhou and more than ten thousand water infantry troops without any reason. Naturally, he was covetous of Jiangdong. Naturally, Sun Quan was worried. He summoned his officials to discuss how to deal with the matter. As a result, apart from Lu Su and Zhou Yu, most of his officials, including Zhang Zhao, who were important officials, urged Sun Quan to submit himself.
These gentry had always been like this, and they were most important to their own interests. Therefore, they did not want Sun Quan and Cao Cao to fight a decisive battle to damage their own interests. We should know that since Sun CE swept Jiangdong, it has been nearly ten years since Sun CE ruled Jiangdong. These gentry still did not hesitate to betray Sun Quan. Now that Cao Cao occupied Jiangdong less than two years ago, these gentry could not support Cao Jun wholeheartedly.
Thinking of this, people are more silent and don't know how to deal with it.
At this time, a Cao soldier suddenly broke into the hall, shouting: ”generals, Huainan emergency military situation!”
”Bring it.”
Cao Renzhao waved, Cao Tai stepped forward and handed the intelligence results to Cao Ren.
Cao Ren opened a look, and immediately frowned.
”What's the matter, uncle?” Cao Xiu realized that something was wrong.
”It's over... It's over.”
Cao Ren's face was almost despairing. He said to Cao Xiu, ”Wen lie, Yuan rang was defeated again... Now almost all the land of Huainan is in the hands of Liu Bei. Our army and the prime minister... Are disconnected.”
Once this was said, Cao's face in the hall changed greatly. We should know that Huainan is the connection between the six counties in Jiangdong and Xuzhou. Once Huainan falls into the enemy's hands, the link between the Cao army in Jiangdong and the Cao army in Xuzhou will be completely broken...
”what should we do? What should our army do?”
”Each fighting for its own sake? It's over. There's no hope of fighting like this. ”
”We have to find a way to get in touch with the prime minister.”
No matter young and inexperienced young players or experienced veteran generals, they are all panicked because the situation is too unfavorable for them.
