And the war in the Yangtze River is still going on. Liu Rui's army has retreated, but there are still many warships in Liu Rui's army trapped in Cao Cao's army. Now Cao Cao is gathering all the men and horses, frantically besieging and suppressing these warships.

At this moment, Cao Cao laughed as he watched Liu Rui's retreating navy.From Gunzhou to the present, Cao Cao has been a disastrous defeat, and at this moment, he can finally raise his eyebrows.

After Liu Rui's remaining warships were all sunk, Cao Cao led the navy around the Yangtze River to show his might and might, and this was Shi Shiran's return to the Chibi camp.

960: Spying on Intelligence

At this moment, although Cao Cao had not returned to the Chibi camp, nor had he seen Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, his face was already red.

Since he came to Jiangdong to join forces with Sun Ce, the army of the princes has suffered successive defeats at the hands of Liu Rui.

It was so tragic that Cao Cao had completely lost hope, but now, Cao Cao forced Liu Rui to withdraw.

To know this decisive battle between Liu Rui and the princes, the water battle is a crucial part.

Once Liu Rui's navy is defeated, Jiangxia City and the southern part of Jingzhou will be completely cut off by the navy of the princes.

Even if Liu Rui transferred troops from Yizhou in Hanzhong, they did not come from the Yangtze River as quickly. What's more, if the princes were allowed to occupy Jiangxia and other places, Liu Rui's army would be in a passive state, and the entire coast of the Yangtze River would be destroyed. Threatened by the navy of the princes.

In this battle, although Cao Cao lost a lot of troops, it also made Liu Rui pay enough price. This alone is enough to make Cao Cao gloat.

"Zhicai, tell me how this Jia Wenhe's head grows? How can he think of such a clever trick?" Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.

Xi Zhicai next to him sighed softly. Although he did not agree with Jia Xu's strategies, he had to admit that the effects of such strategies were often surprisingly good.

At least until now, his play will not let Cao Cao take advantage of Liu Rui's hands, but Jia Xu has repeatedly caused Liu Rui a lot of threats.

If it weren't for the bad luck of Cao Cao and Jia Xu, I am afraid that Liu Rui would have suffered a big loss at the hands of these two people several times.

For example, driving away refugees in Nanyang, Jingzhou earlier, poisoning people in Gunzhou, forcing an army in Qingzhou, etc., although Xi Zhicai felt that it was against the sky, it gave Liu Rui a headache every time. .

Now hearing Cao Cao's praise of Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai also said with a smile, "Wen He's strategy is ingenious.

Hearing Xi Zhicai flattering, Cao Cao laughed even more, and couldn't help but said, "This is the credit of your advisors, how dare I, Cao Mengde, fight for it? When we return to Chibi, we must have a big banquet. From now on, Liu Rui's navy is abolished, as long as he dares to come out, then we will let them taste our power!"

Xi Zhicai nodded silently. In the current situation, unless Liu Rui has enough ability to crack Cao Cao's navy's life-threatening play, the wickedness of this strategy is that it cannot be cracked.

After all, the warships of the two sides always have to be on the water, and Cao Cao's warships, when they were built, deliberately increased the speed, and now the speed is on par with Liu Rui's warships, as long as the two sides are fighting, as long as Cao Cao was determined to use this poisonous tactic, so Liu Rui had no choice but to retreat.

Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "My lord, now that our navy is no longer afraid of Liu Rui's army, we might as well take the opportunity to do something more!"

Cao Cao nodded heavily and said with a sneer, "Our navy is responsible for the suicide charge, and Sun Ce's navy is responsible for the side battle. No matter if Liu Rui wants to use the flame catapult or fight close, we are all fearless! "

After a pause, Cao Cao said again: "It's getting late today, so I won't send troops anymore. After rewarding our sailors tonight, I'll let them take turns to call outside Liu Rui's water village tomorrow to see him. Does Liu Rui dare to attack!"

Xi Zhicai nodded heavily, and a few smiles appeared on his face. From the start of the war to the present, Xi Zhicai always felt the strength of Liu Rui's army. Now, he finally saw some people who could defeat the opponent. expected.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were discussing here, and Liu Rui, Mei Changsu Guojia and others were also discussing.

Under Mei Changsu's suggestion, Liu Rui was able to withdraw in time, but even so, he had to pay the price of dozens of ships.

You must know that Liu Rui has never been hit in such a way since the start of the war.The morale of the entire navy is now even lower.

When Liu Rui formed the navy, the entire navy had absolutely no way to compete with Sun Ce's Jiangdong navy.During the battle on the side, it was even more so that he couldn't lift his head under the pressure of the opponent's warship.

Thanks to Liu Rui's invention of the flame catapult, he was able to turn defeat into victory, and even in the naval battle, he defeated Zhou Yu's army in one fell swoop, making Jiangdong navy no longer the opponent of Liu Rui's navy.

But now, the whole situation has been turned upside down again.

"Fengxiao, Changsu, what do you think we should do in the current situation?" Liu Rui looked at Guo Jia and Mei Changsu, and asked with a frown.

Mei Changsu lowered his head in contemplation, while Guo Jia raised his head and smiled bitterly: "My lord, Cao Mengde is going to exchange his life with us!"

Liu Rui nodded. He and Mei Changsu had already seen this.

"However, we have suffered a big loss by doing this! The lord said earlier that Cao Mengde's navy is weak and weak, and I am afraid that many of the navy recruits have no combat experience at all, even when Cao Cao was forced to fight in Qingzhou. All the people who belonged to him were also charged into it!" Guo Jia said with a wry smile.

After a pause, he said again: "If we fight against each other, then Cao Cao will definitely use Cai Yong's method again. Cao Mengde's warships are all newly built, and in terms of speed, they are no less than our warships. Let, as long as the other party launches the fire boat, we must be unable to avoid it!"

Liu Rui nodded and sighed: "If it's just a fire ship and no one is controlling it, we can still avoid it, but these warships are all controlled by Cao Jun soldiers, even if they are on fire, they can still be found. Our warships perish together! I am afraid that this scheme is the ghost of that Jia Wenhe again!"

Having said this, Mei Changsu, who was next to him, raised his head fiercely and said, "My lord, why don't you first grab a few Cao Cao soldiers and ask them to see what Cao Cao is going to do, and we will have a good time there. deal with it!"

Hearing Mei Changsu's words, Liu Rui nodded heavily, and this was the one who looked at the guard next to him, and said, "I immediately ordered that General Chasing and General Qiao Feng take action, and be sure to give it to me from the enemy's warship. Get a few people here!"

The guard hurriedly took the order, and hurriedly went to find Qiao Feng who was chasing the order.

Chasing Ming and Qiao Feng did not dare to neglect at all. They found a small boat in the army, and they moved towards Cao Jun's camp.

961: How to deal with it

In the water battle, military generals such as Chasing Ming and Qiao Feng naturally lacked a lot of use.

It is precisely because of this that for a period of time, Chase and Qiao Feng have not had many tasks. Even if they want to do more things for Liu Rui every day, there is nothing they can do.

But at this moment, after hearing Liu Rui's order, Chasing and Qiao Feng were in a good mood, and while the night was shrouded, they moved towards Cao Jun's camp.

It is also a coincidence that after Cao Cao returned to the Chibi Camp, he was preparing a banquet non-stop, rewarding the three armies, and it was for this reason that the defense in the entire Chibi Camp was much more relaxed.

Chasing and Qiao Feng's skills were naturally very easy, sneaking into the Chibi camp, but within a quarter of an hour, the two of them each picked up two Cao soldiers who were knocked out and returned to Liu Rui's camp among.

After Liu Rui received the news, he rushed over in person and prepared to interrogate him to see what Cao Cao had planned.

When they arrived at the temporary prison in the camp, Chasing and Qiao Feng had woken up the captured prisoners and were constantly questioning them.

Seeing Liu Rui come in, the two of them hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"My lord, the commander has been asking for a long time, but these soldiers don't seem to know anything!" Chasing said with a headache.
