Chapter 764: The Last Splendor

Rumble! A huge column of water hundreds of meters high and thirty or forty meters in diameter burst out on the surface of the water, and although Xu Chu and the others successfully protected Cao Cao under Lu Bu's earth-shattering halberd, their flagship was undoubtedly split in half by a halberd.

The surging water column directly destroyed the flagship, and even Xu Chu and the others could only escape from the water with Cao Xiaozi. Seeing this, Cao Jun's morale plummeted, and Lu Bu became more courageous.

With light power floating on the water, those merchant ships that had only been slightly modified could not stop Lu Bu at all, and they were all smashed by him with one halberd.

Lu Bu's army at the head of Picheng shouted in surprise, only Jiang Zhuo knew that this was Lu Bu's curtain call. After he ascended to become a god, although Lu Bu occasionally made a move when the Divine City opened in the future, he never used all his strength again.

"Hey..."Jiang Zhuo sighed and turned his head to look at Ye Xiaowen, "Immediately take advantage of the chaos to drive our fleet over, and the gang and some of the disabled soldiers can teleport back from the post station first." ”

"Huh?" Ye Xiaowen's face was full of shock, Lu Bu was full of might, shouldn't he hurry up and make waves in this situation and reap a batch of war dividends?

However, Jiang Zhuo is not easy to explain, "The plot has inertia, in this situation, do you think Lu Bu is likely to win even if he is awesome?" Looking at his posture, I think Lu Bu wants to pull more people into the water before he dies, and he probably just has returned to the light..."

Ye Xiaowen couldn't agree with Jiang Zhuo's statement, but because Jiang Zhuo always had an advanced sense of the development of games and plots before, he still agreed to Jiang Zhuo's arrangement.

After all, even if this decision was wrong, for the [Lingyun Palace], it would only be missing some war dividends, and the loss would not be large.

But if Jiang Zhuo's decision is right, then arranging for people to teleport away in advance will not prevent a large number of people crowding next to the post station and unable to escape, which can definitely greatly reduce losses.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Ye Xiaowen left to make arrangements, although the gang didn't understand, but Jiang Zhuo took them to eat an unknown amount of sweetness these days, and they wouldn't resist too much of some seemingly unreasonable orders.

Later, Lu Su was also arranged by Jiang Zhuo to go to the east city wall, and when the fleet arrived, he immediately arranged for someone to board the ship quickly. Some materials should be taken away, and those that cannot be taken away are sold or destroyed on the spot.

And Jiang Zhuo went to Chen Gong's side, and when he saw Chen Gong looking at the majestic figure in the distance with a fanatical face, he knew that Chen Gong should have misunderstood something. Yes... Beautiful misunderstanding...

Jiang Zhuo didn't go to Chen Gong without being funny and said, your boss is about to soar, let's run...

In this case, Chen Gong may feel that Jiang Zhuo has a problem with his brain, and then even if he leaves with the boat in the end, he will not choose him as the lord.

"Let's get started... Taking advantage of the great power of Wen Hou and the chaos of Cao's army, we can find an opportunity to evacuate. Xia Pi City has become like this, and it is no longer suitable to be a base area.

With the flood turning into stagnant water, coupled with the ubiquitous corpses, once the plague breaks out, I am afraid that we will collapse before the Cao army kills us. Jiang Zhuo persuaded from another angle, and Chen Gong quickly came to his senses.

"That's right, that's right! Wen Hou has regained his strength, and I must choose a new place for him to build up. Chen Gong nodded, and his face was full of excitement to arrange the retreat.

The family members of the dozens of civil and military ministers under Lu Bu's command alone may add up to nearly a thousand. The more than 20,000 soldiers of the Lu Bu Army were also dependents, and Jiang Zhuo's fleet could only accommodate 30,000 people at most, and some of them had to be abandoned when evacuating, which needed to be arranged.

For example, Cao Bao, one of Lu Bu's fathers-in-law, as a member of the Xuzhou family, it is estimated that he would rather stay and surrender to Cao Cao than leave. There are also some local generals such as Qin Yilu, and whether they are willing to leave is also a question.

Chen Gong must judge the loyalty of these people, and he will not stop some who are willing to stay. And the military system of Lu Bu's forces is very immature, and the troops under the command of those generals can actually be regarded as their own. Once they choose to stay, the thousands of soldiers and horses under their command will naturally not leave.

In this way, the places for evacuation are freed up.

Of course, Chen Gong must also control the quantity. Otherwise, if more than half of the army chooses to stay, they will not have the capital to make a comeback.

Seeing Chen Gong leave in a hurry, Jiang Zhuo was also a lot more relieved.

If nothing else, Zang Ba will become the rightful governor of Qingxu after this battle, and will be in charge of the military and political power of Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Historically, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were tough in Yanzhou, and the eastern front was basically supported by Zang Ba alone, which shows Zang Ba's ability.

Zang Ba is definitely a state-level talent, even if it is Chen Gong, he may be stronger than Zang Ba in terms of civil governance, but his comprehensive military and political ability is definitely inferior to Zang Ba.

"Jiujiang County and Lujiang County north of the Yangtze River have fallen into Cao Cao's hands, and it is estimated that Guangling County will also be defeated by Cao's army after this battle... Well, let's store it with Cao Cao first...

It just so happens that I can secretly instruct Zang Ba to exert pressure behind Sun Ce's back, and when the battle of Guandu begins, my plan is successful, and I can start dealing with Sun Ce. ”

Jiang Zhuo was silently thinking in his heart, Sun Ce was about to move, why shouldn't he?

If it weren't for the incident of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor, Cao Cao captured Yuan Shu's capital Shouchun, repelled Yuan Shu's 150,000 army in Chen State, and unceremoniously swallowed all of Yuan Shu's territory, which would have been too strong. If Sun Ce hadn't felt Cao Cao's pressure and was worried that Cao Cao would invade Yangzhou when he launched an attack on Jiang Zhuo and Lu Kang, I am afraid that Sun Ce would have done it a long time ago.

But... This is the era when the princes rose together, you fight me, I fight you, because something is contained, and then there is a truce or even cooperation and so on. This kind of thing has been vividly interpreted in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

For example, if Cao Cao really left the battle of Guandu and wanted to fight across the south bank of the Yangtze River under the pretext of chasing and killing the remnants of Yuan Shu, Jiang Zhuo and Sun Ce would not hesitate to unite. After all, Cao Cao is now the second largest princely force in the whole service... And there is a historical reference, even Yuan Shao now knows that their so-called first prince's power is not good for Cao Cao.

Unlike the Battle of Guandu in history, at that time, even Cao Cao was not confident of winning.

After the war, he found that there were a large number of civil servants and military generals in his camp who wrote to Yuan Shao in advance to express their loyalty, and then Cao Cao said magnanimously, "When Yuan Shao was strong at that time, I doubted whether I could win, let alone those subordinates. ”

The last torch burned the letters, and the past was not to blame.
