Chapter 245: Change
The boiled duck flew, and Sun Quan was furious.
I don't understand why the Xuzhou army would rather throw water than surrender.
Sun Quan now wants to take Cao Ren with a knife, but he is worried that after attacking and killing Cao Ren, the situation will be difficult to alleviate, so that the Han army will pick up a big bargain for nothing.
Liu Bei seems to have taken too much advantage from himself, and he can't let Liu Bei take advantage of it anymore.
Just when Sun Quan suppressed his anger and was about to send Shang Shu's servant to shoot Shiyi to Cao Ren's camp to discuss a truce, Pan Jun made another organization and prepared to attack Cao Ren.
When Sun Quan heard the news, he was very puzzled: "Aiqing said in the twilight that in order to contain the Han army, Cao Ren could not be destroyed, why did it change again now?" If the general of the Cao Pi clan is beheaded, it is afraid that the Han army will benefit. β
"Your Majesty, this is the same time."
Pan Jun explained with peace of mind: "Zang Ba has been in charge of Qingxu for 30 years, capturing and beheading this person, our army's prestige will shake the four states of the Central Plains, Cao Ren, Xiahou Shang, Cao Xiu, and Cao Pi will be frightened, because they are worried about the offensive of the Han army, it is not difficult to negotiate peace with me." At that time, it was natural to ask for Wei land and conclude an anti-Han alliance, and the Wei people had little obstruction. β
"But now that Zang Ba has escaped, Cao Ren will never negotiate peace with me, Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu will try their best to rescue Cao Ren, defeat our army, and coerce our army to resist the Han army."
Sun Quan listened and nodded slowly, it is such a truth, Zang Ba was killed, and the Xuzhou army was destroyed...... Then, for the sake of the overall situation of the Central Plains to resist the Han Dynasty, Cao Ren had reason to seek peace and give up some unimportant land to ask the Wu army to participate in the war and jointly resist the Han army's Northern Expedition offensive.
Even if Cao Ren and Cao Pi gave barren land, it was a great victory for the Wu army, which meant that the national policy of coercing the Han to respect itself had room to play and could be successful.
Now Zang Ba escaped with the remnants of the Xuzhou army, Cao Ren can only fight, if he negotiates peace, he will be ridiculed by the Wei army, which will greatly affect the Wei army's enthusiasm for cooperation, as well as the morale of the warrior.
If Cao Ren negotiates peace now, and encounters something like Zang Ba next time, many generals will not be able to contribute, but will ruin the big things and form a vicious circle.
Since Cao Ren can't negotiate peace, what is he left to do?
Could it be that there was a decisive battle with Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu with a battlefield scale of more than 100,000?
"The king, Cao Ren was hit hard, and only then was his generation willing to face up to our army and divide the world with me."
Pan Jun's voice floated in the southeast wind blowing at night: "Destroy Cao Ren on the east bank of the river, and the hidden dangers will be eliminated." Although Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu reorganized their troops and horses, our army controlled and choked Huaishui, and they did nothing. β
"Our army is worried about the Han army's Northern Expedition, and the Wei army is even more afraid."
"After the destruction of Cao Ren, our army will hold on, and Wei will send envoys to negotiate peace."
"It took a long time, and the Han army took the opportunity to go on a northern expedition, and Zhang Liao could hardly resist Fengrui. But our army can do its best to Runan and Huainan! β
Pan Jun came to the map on the table, raised his hand and patted it on the area of Runan, which is currently rich in population, and made a crisp sound: "The king, with Cao Pi's temperament, the war is not going well, he will definitely abandon Runan, lead our army to fight with the Han army, this plan to kill three soldiers." β
He looked up at Sun Quan, whose eyes were shining with green light, and his voice was earnest: "Our army does not compete with the Han for an inch of land, but takes advantage of Rushui and Huaishui to move its people to enrich Jiangbei and Huainan. With such savings for five years, you can make a lot of money. β
"Wonderful! Love Qing Wonderful Theory! β
Sun Quan looked at the map carefully, as if he could reach out and get the population of Runan, not 50,000 households, but also 30,000 households.
He excitedly turned around in two circles on the spot and grabbed Pan Jun's hands: "Just Yi Aiqing!" β
The new army of Dawu has been successfully defeated, and Cao Ren is left with a lone army on the entire east bank, trapped in the camp, and there is no response on the left and right.
Knock knock! Knock knock!
In the sound of the offensive trumpet, Cao Ren suffered a new round of life tests.
This time, there was no full favor to motivate him and coax him to persevere.
After four or five more hours, Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu would be able to send reinforcements in place, but Cao Ren really couldn't hold it.
has nothing to do with will, in the face of strong winds and flames, if you can't hold it, you can't hold it.
The southeast wind blew in front of you, carrying choking smoke.
Cao Ren covered his face with wet wipes, and the whole line of sight was a burning reed bundle, and Wu Jun was in a group of three or five people, controlling a green bamboo six or seven zhang long, and using the green bamboo to provoke and push the reed bundle forward.
The wind fueled the fire, the fireworks whistled northward, and Cao Ren's camp was captured in a short time.
The Wu army was not in a hurry to fight in close quarters, but instead cleared the passage and organized the next round of fire attacks.
In the face of thick smoke and fire, the iron armor and morale of the Wei army, more than 1,000 healthy horsemen had no power to fight back.
The Wei army returned fire with bows and crossbows, and the Wu army counterattacked with more intensive stone throwing and bow crossbows, and the Wei army cried and called for his mother.
"Fire! Fire! Fire! β
The lieutenant of the new army, Huang Shan, cheered in front of the battle with a hook knife in his hand, his face turned red, and his subordinates were excited, scrambling to carry the grass bundles from the rear.
"Quick, herald the Shouchun defenders!"
When Pan Jun arrived at the periphery of the battlefield, he saw that the fire attacks were going well, and as long as the flames burned, the Wei army could only retreat.
He pointed to the north and shouted to the herald beside him: "Block the river, Hugh and leave Cao Ren!" Be sure to capture more than a thousand of his knights! β
LΓΌ Fan had already sent a number of guerrillas to cruise in the nearby rivers and rivers, and from time to time they launched rockets to harass the descendants of the Wei army.
Although there are no burning ships on the river here, it is even more unfriendly to the Wei army, and the Shouchun mobile phones of the river boat movement are much more dangerous than the quietly burning fire boats.
In the face of fire, all human resistance is in vain.
As a last resort, Cao Ren took the lead in setting fire to the books in the army, and when the flames rose, Cao Ren rode a vigorous horse and led more than 1,000 horsemen to swim across the Huaishui.
At this time, it was late at night, the Huaishui was turbulent and cold, and when Cao Ren broke through to the north bank of the Huaishui, he was only followed by more than 30 horsemen, and the rest of the knights were all lost, or the men and horses drowned in the river, or were washed downstream.
Unable to find his son Cao Tai, Cao Ren was soaked, looking at the burning camps on the south bank, and was speechless for a long time.
"Fire attack, with the help of the wind, will definitely burn that person to death!"
Zhuge Ke sat on the wheelbarrow, watching the battle from a distance, he stretched his neck to look at the battlefield seven or eight miles away, and the flames were already reflecting the red Bagong Mountain.
With the proper layout, the fire attack can definitely burn Tian Xin!
As long as it's still flesh and blood, you can be burned to death, you can!
The flames were reflected in Zhuge Ke's eyes, and his eyes were red in the dark night, and the flames burned in his eyes.
Not only him, the flame burned in the eyes of Wei Jun, but also in the eyes of Wu Jun.
One wails in pain under the scorching and edification of the fireworks, and the other screams wildly, heartily.
On the west bank of the river, Niu Jin had already led 2,000 horsemen to march north without authorization to rescue Cao Ren.
Zang Ba held a bowl of ginger tea soup and drank it from time to time, overlooking the battlefield from afar, and his mood calmed down.
Most of the Xuzhou army gathered around the fire to warm up and rest after eating, and only a few were still looking at the battlefield to the north, where the burning flames reflected not only the outline of Bagong Mountain, but also the clouds of the night sky.
The heart is balanced, from Zang Ba to the Xuzhou military officer, his mood is much calmer at the moment, and the anger he is holding has also dissipated, and he is so weak.
Cao Xiu observed the battlefield in the distance with red eyes, his expression was much calmer, he was holding a dinner plate, and in the plate was the minced meat porridge prepared by Fu Xun for him, and he didn't eat a bite.
Fu Xun's face was calm and he could see it thoroughly.
The defeat has already been lost, and there is no point in worrying about the war on the east coast.
Anyway, the Wu army did not dare to cross the river, and the Wei army did not have the strength to go to the east bank, and the war inevitably entered the stage of stalemate.
Now that you've seen it all, what are you worried about?
How to deal with the aftermath, how to negotiate, and how to adjust personnel after the war are things that Luoyang Cao Pi has to consider.
The battle has reached this point, and it has nothing to do with Cao Xiu.
If the Wu army dares to cross the river and fight again after victory...... Then it matters.
