When the outer camp fell into a sea of fire a few hours ago, Huo Jun had already realized that it was impossible for his side to hold on, so he sent a flying pigeon pass to Huang Gai.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Huang Gai, who received Sun Jian's latest order first, had already sent 300 large boats to sail towards the camp on the water more than ten miles away from the big camp.

Huo Jun received a reply about two hours later, and immediately began to arrange.

Huo Jun stood on the shore of the lake, looking back at the fiery red sky, looking depressed.

"General, it's time to get on board!" Wu Lan came to Huo Jun's side and hugged his fist.

Huo Jun nodded, and boarded a big boat with Wu Lan and the others, but at this moment, everyone suddenly felt the earth tremble slightly, and there seemed to be a thunderous sound in their ears.

Huo Jun's face changed: "Not good! It's the cavalry of the Wei army! ”

Everyone hurriedly looked towards the north where the sound came, and through the moonlight, they saw countless black shadows rushing towards this side.

The officers and men of Liu Jun who were boarding the ship couldn't help but panic, and the officers and men of Liu Jun who had not had time to board the ship rushed towards the boat desperately, and soldiers continued to stumble and fall into the water.

A moment later, the Xianbei cavalry led by Xiahoudun met with the 5,000 Liu army who was in charge of the break, and the Liu army, who had no fighting spirit, could not stop the Xianbei iron cavalry at all, and completely collapsed under the torrent of iron hooves in an instant.

Xiahoudun led the Xianbei cavalry to continue to rush forward, the iron hooves were rolling, the momentum was overwhelming, seeing this scene, many big ships ignored the Liu soldiers who were boarding the ship and hurriedly lifted anchor, and many Liu soldiers who were still on the pedal fell into the river when they boarded.

The big ships went out of the shore one after another, looking very panicked, and suddenly the two big ships collided together, and there was a burst of exclamation when they boarded, and many people fell into the water.

Huo Jun clenched his fists and stared at Xiahou Dun, who was running and killing on the shore and laughing. His face was full of unwilling anger.

Xiahoudun rushed to the shore of the lake, only to see thousands of Cao soldiers who had not had time to board the boat facing him in a panic, taking a few steps forward from his horse, and proudly raising his voice: "Those who lay down their weapons will not be killed!" ”

The soldiers of the Liu army looked at each other, and after a moment, one of the lieutenants laid down his weapon first. Immediately, thousands of soldiers laid down their weapons one after another.

Xiahoudun turned his head to King Youxian and said, "Escort them back." ”

Beating horses to the riverside, Xiahoudun looked into the river, only to see hundreds of big boats slowly heading towards the direction of the Yangtze River, Xiahoudun couldn't help but flick the horsewhip, scolded: "Hate our sailors are incompetent!" ”

Xiahoudun returned to the big tent, and Xu Shu immediately reported the general results of the battle to Xiahoudun, which annihilated more than 15,000 Liu troops, including about 10,000 prisoners, and less than 4,000 Wei troops were killed and wounded. Among them, the Xianbei cavalry lost nearly 3,000 people, but if the previous local army was added, the number of losses would be far more than that.

After listening to Xu Shu's report, Xiahoudun immediately ordered someone to send Cao Cao a flying pigeon to report on the battle situation.

"Strategist, do you have any definite information on Huang Gai?" Xiahoudun asked.

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

Xiahoudun couldn't help frowning and said, "Is this Huang Gai a loach that hid in the mud?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard Xiahoudun's funny results. Xu Shu said: "Only by waiting for the Qu side to send back a message can we make further judgments!" ”

Xiahoudun nodded. Asked, "What do you say we should do now?" ”

Xu Shu thought for a moment and replied: "The current situation is still unclear, it is best to stand still!" ”

Xiahoudun nodded: "Then let's hold on!" It's not bad to let the soldiers of the three armies rest and rest! ”

Xiahoudun glanced at the generals under his tent. Raised his voice: "Scatter the account!" ”

The generals saluted Xiahoudun and retreated outside the big tent, and Xu Shu also saluted Xiahoudun and retreated outside the tent.

In the middle of the night of the same day, the flying pigeon message sent by Xiahoudun flew to Chibi Dazhai, and the herald hurried to Cao Cao's big tent with the message.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Dian Wei called softly as he stood in front of Cao Cao's couch.

Cao Cao woke up and turned around to prop himself up. Turning his head to look at Dian Wei, he rubbed his forehead and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Dian Wei hugged his fists and reported: "There is General Xiahou's flying pigeon biography!" ”

Cao Cao immediately came to his senses, "Spread quickly!" ”

"No."

Dian Wei clenched his fists and stood up straight. Turning his head to the outside of the tent, he shouted, "Come in!" ”

The herald immediately entered the big tent and bowed: "My subordinates meet Your Majesty!" ”

At the same time, several guards set fire to the four lamps in the tent.

Cao Cao took the flying pigeon from the herald's hand and hurriedly opened it.

"Good! Yuan Rang is Yuan Rang in the end! Cao Cao laughed loudly.

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Dian Wei, and said, "Go and call Zixiao and Fengxiao." ”

Dian Wei promised and immediately ran out of the big tent.

After a while, Dian Wei led Cao Ren and Guo Jia to the big tent.

"Your Majesty, I heard that General Yuan Rang has broken through Huo Jun's camp?" Guo Jia couldn't wait to ask.

Cao Cao nodded happily, handed the flying pigeon biography in his hand to Guo Jia, read it carefully, Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, the situation in Chaohu Lake is very favorable to us now, and the only variable is Huang Gai's army of sailors!" ”

Cao Cao frowned slightly and nodded.

Cao Ren said: "Now the direction that Huang Gai may attack is Quah and Chaohu Dazhai. ”

Cao Cao set his eyes on Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, where do you think they will attack?" ”

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "It is difficult to make an accurate judgment based on the current intelligence, but there is a safest way. ”

Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but light up: "What way?" ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Actually, it's very simple, it is to divide the army in the hands of General Yuan Rang into two parts, one part will return to the Chaohu camp, and the other part will go to Quah." ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "This is indeed a good way." However, I am afraid that it will not be possible to annihilate Huang Gai or deal him a major blow! ”

Guo Jia nodded: "Indeed." However, doing so can make all the tricks of the other party impossible to perform! ”

Cao Cao walked to the sand table. Looking at the topography from Chaohu Lake to Qu'a on the sand table, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his face was thoughtful, Cao Ren and Guo Jia stood quietly beside Cao Cao.

After a while, Cao Cao stood up straight and said categorically: "No! Or go according to the original plan! ”

The original plan was that after Xiahoudun and Zhang He successfully defeated Huo Jun, they would not move, and after discovering Huang Gai's traces, they would concentrate all their strength on attacking Huang Gai in order to severely damage his strength.

Cao Ren and Guo Jia agreed in unison.

Cao Cao turned around and asked Guo Jiadao, "Fengxiao, do you think Zixiao can attack as originally planned?" ”

Guo Jia thought for a moment and said: "According to Weichen, now is the time to let General Zixiao attack from Wulin and Hanyang to Chibi and Xiakou at the same time. (To be continued.) )
