However, it was said that on the night when the fog was thick and You Hengqin retreated, Cao Pi, who had rested for a few days, once again drove the warship and launched a night attack on Xu Sheng on the opposite bank.

Fog also rose above the Yangtze River, but it was not as big as the seaside, hazy, but it was just right for a sneak attack. Cao Pi was full of confidence, lined up the warships into a policy, and rushed to the opposite shore in a mighty way.

"Xu Shengpifu, look at how you escaped today!"

However, as soon as the Wei army's warship passed through the central waters of the Yangtze River, the soldiers in charge of investigating the military situation in advance hurriedly reported that they were faintly visible in the fog, and the opposite bank was covered with Jiangdong soldiers, densely packed, and could not see the edge, and it was possible to visually inspect hundreds of thousands.

"Could it be that Xu Sheng expected that I would raise troops, or Wang Baoyu's gang would rush to help?" Cao Pi hesitated, for fear of falling into Jiangdong's trap, so he temporarily decided to take the army back again, and he was busy in vain.

There was no Xu Sheng's army on the river bank at all, but rows of straw men wearing soldiers' clothes, Xu Sheng was afraid that on the way to Ding Feng's help, Cao Pi would attack rashly, so he set up such a strategy.

Cao Pi rushed back to the camp, just as Sima Yi's army rushed over overnight, hearing what happened just now, Sima Yi shook his head and said: "The art of war is cloudy, but it is virtual, how can Xu Sheng line up troops on the riverbank at night, the saint will be tricked!" Missed opportunities. ”

Cao Pi choked on water before, infected with pneumonia, easy to get tired, and did not meet Sima Yi, the next morning, Sima Yi came to the tent, Cao Pi was holding a bowl of soup and medicine to drink, Sima Yi was concerned about the military situation, turned a blind eye to it, and bowed and said: "Saint, the land of Jiangdong, should take it as soon as possible, in case there is a change." ”

Cao Pi was a little displeased, put down the medicine bowl, and explained: "Aiqing's intention is the same as mine, the battle the day before yesterday was already won, but Wang Baoyu's house suddenly came out, but it made me in danger. ”

"Do you know where Wang Baoyu went?" Sima Yi was extremely sensitive to Wang Baoyu, and immediately asked anxiously.

"Xu went to Jianye Sun Quan's place, I still have doubts, Xu Sheng was on guard last night, and Wang Baoyu was on the other side." Cao Pi said and picked up the medicine bowl again, the temperature was almost over, and he drank it all with a frown.

The medicine is bitter, it is too bitter, Cao Pi was already sick to the stomach, his stomach was overturned, and he gritted his teeth so that he didn't spit out the medicine, and he was miserable.

"Holy!"

"It doesn't matter! It's just a small illness, and it will be recovered in a few days. ”

Cao Pi thought that Sima Yi was going to greet him, so he was overjoyed and hurriedly replied. It's just that this time he was still amorous, and Sima Yi opened his mouth and asked again: "How many soldiers and horses did Wang Baoyu bring?" ”

Cao Pi was a little impatient and said, "There are only five or six thousand soldiers and horses, but that warship has never been so big. ”

"Holy Lord, Wang Baoyu must go to the coast to intercept the Japanese army, and the minister heard that the queen of the Japanese kingdom, Himihu, had submitted to him, so the Japanese army will retreat without a fight." Sima Yi stomped his feet anxiously, if he was here a few days ago, he would have stopped Wang Baoyu desperately, and he would never let him go east.

After Sima Yi's reminder, Cao Pi also reacted, and said stiffly: "The Japanese country is already a subject country, and it may not be willing to listen to Wang Baoyu's arrangement, besides, how can the Japanese army of 100,000 people be afraid of a few thousand soldiers and horses." ”

"Saint, don't underestimate Wang Baoyu, quickly march to the south bank, if you hesitate, Jiangdong is not advisable!" Sima Yi said.

"I have my own decisions." Cao Pi was in a depressed mood, and waved his hand unceremoniously to push Sima Yi down.

But whoever achieves great things is not focused on doing things, and Sima Yi is the same, thinking about the overall situation, so he has been ignoring the bowl of soup medicine. The emperor is suspicious and sensitive, and it is inevitable that he will complain about it.

Cao Pi was born for half the weather, and his body became more and more uncomfortable, so he simply covered his head and slept like this, so he rested for two days, and then sent troops to the other side to investigate, and finally found that he fell for Xu Sheng's tricks, and they were all straw men.

Cao Pi was furious and ordered angrily: "Little Xu Sheng, he actually teased Yu Zhen like this, poured out a large army, and attacked the south bank!" ”

The army immediately reorganized and prepared to attack, but Sima Yi found Cao Pi again and said: "Shengshang, Xu Sheng set up a straw man before, but he was really afraid of Tianwei in his heart, and he must have a plan to go again this time." ”

"According to Aiqing's intentions, what should I do?" Cao Pi asked with a cold face.

"Jiangdong is difficult to take, Wang Baoyu leaves Yiling, it is better to return to the army to fight Jingzhou." Sima Yijian said.

"At the beginning, I couldn't capture a single Yiling, let alone Jingzhou?"

"At this time, the dragons in Jingzhou were leaderless, and there was a lot of consumption in recruiting troops and horses to appease the people. This time Wang Baoyu went out, with his temperament, it was inevitable to be extravagant, and his financial resources must have moved his roots. In addition, Liu Chan of Shu is weak, Sun Quan is flawlessly distracted, and he attacks it with all his might, then Jingzhou is desirable! ”

As soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, it is easy to say! Cao Pi was annoyed, feeling that Sima Yi was too cautious in doing things, so he had some bad ideas, and said coldly: "There are still Mo Qianxun and others in Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang is here to help. And since our army has come here, how can we retreat lightly and retreat, needless to say. ”

"Holy!"

At this time, there was a waiter who brought the decoction, Cao Pi brought it over and made a lot of effort on the table, the movement was very large, and a small half bowl was splashed, Sima Yi followed the prestige, and then realized that the emperor was sick, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Holy and take care of the dragon body!" ”

After speaking, Sima Yi retreated in a sneer, and there was a rift between the monarchs and ministers again because of a polite remark, and they didn't know whether it was worth it or not.

The warships of the Wei army were lined up in order, shouting loudly, and marched towards the south bank, Xu Sheng learned of this situation and immediately led his army to board the warships and prepare to meet them.

It was not until the Wei convoy crossed the center of the river that Xu Sheng launched the warship, and the two armies started a great battle less than two miles from the south bank.

The Wei army attacked Xu Sheng's warship with absolute superiority in strength and madness, and Xu Sheng's appearance was very tenacious, and he went all out to meet the enemy.

Cao Pi's dragon boat was destroyed, so he had to sit on a large warship, seeing that Xu Sheng was still the original force, he couldn't help laughing, and commanded the army to quickly form a fan, and surrounded Xu Sheng's army, wanting to annihilate this army.

There were not many naval troops under Sima Yi's jurisdiction, and they were not in a hurry to charge, but they were not far away, following behind, closely watching every move around them.

Although Xu Sheng tried his best to meet the enemy, he was outnumbered in the end, and he fought and retreated, revealing a posture of imminent defeat, at this moment, he suddenly heard a drum sound upstream, and in the reeds on the river bank, Ding Feng's hundreds of warships rushed out.

Cao Pi was shocked, he didn't expect that there was an army in ambush here, and hurriedly sent the warships on the left flank to meet him. Xu Sheng suddenly changed his strategy, commanded his warships, and chased after him from the rear.
