Chapter 539: Ordinary Three Days
After Zhou Yu returned to the camp, he ordered his troops to settle down and treat their injuries. At the same time, he wrote to Sun Ce, who was still on the road, and reported to him the situation of the battle.
In the letter, Zhou Yu took the initiative to place the blame on himself, admitting that he had underestimated the strength of Cao's army, which led to the danger of Han and Cheng Pu, leading to their death in battle.
After Sun Ce received the letter, although he was also very sorry and angry, he also knew that Zhou Yu could not be blamed for this incident.
After all, if he were at the scene, he would do the same thing as Zhou Yu.
After all, there was nothing wrong with sending people out to fight generals, but none of them expected that Cao Cao had so many powerful generals.
Afterwards, Zhou Yu also conducted an investigation into Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and found that these two men had been serving as personal guard commanders from the beginning, and had no impressive record.
Normally, although the position of commander of personal guards is important, in terms of personal strength, people with strong martial arts skills are generally not chosen.
After all, if you put a peerless general in the army and treat him as a personal soldier, he will be of great use.
In other words, the combat prowess of Xu Chu and Dian Wei can be compared with that of people like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. But treating them as personal soldiers is somewhat of a waste.
In addition, in this time and space, there was no such amazing record as the Wancheng Rebellion, where Dian Wei broke into the army alone and covered Boss Cao's retreat.
There was no incident of Xu Chu taking off his armor to fight, so in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Chu and Dian Wei were just two dark and strong soldiers.
Who would have thought that these two people are actually peerless tigers and can be compared with a powerful general like Zhang Fei?
Of course, this is just what outsiders think. As for Cao Jun, no one dares to think so.
After all, the two of them took turns beating up all the generals of Cao's army.
If Xu Chu and Dian Wei weren't really qualified to lead troops, Boss Cao had already assigned them to the army. How could they have stayed with him?
However, it seems good for Boss Cao to keep the two of them by his side.
Judging from the fighting power of the two of them, at least Boss Cao will not encounter any danger on the battlefield. In addition, when encountering a fighting general, the two of them can also be used.
In this way, it is equivalent to Boss Cao bringing two super thugs with him anytime and anywhere.
After Sun Ce understood the whole thing, he felt that Zhou Yu could not really be blamed for this incident, so he also wrote a letter to comfort Zhou Yu.
What is different from Jiang Dongjun's sadness is Boss Cao's side.
After he returned to the camp, he had a big banquet held to celebrate the meritorious service of Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Dun and others, and said that he would truthfully report their achievements to the emperor.
But at the banquet, Guo Jia was not very happy.
Because he knew what Boss Cao was thinking now, which was to defeat Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and others as soon as possible.
But today, he was observing Zhou Yu's immediate command from the rear, and he knew that Zhou Yu was a cautious person.
It's really difficult to defeat him.
If Zhou Yu cannot be defeated quickly, he is worried that the war here will drag on for a long time, and Yuan Shao will recover by then.
As a result, Cao's army will face successive hard battles, and the casualties will be very high. This is not in line with Boss Cao's original intention.
Boss Cao naturally saw that something was wrong with Guo Jia's state. After Guo Jia communicated with him, he also understood that Guo Jia's worries were real.
But there is nothing Boss Cao can do. After all, there is nothing Boss Cao can do when he encounters Zhou Yu.
In the end, the two people who really couldn't think of any good solution could only decide to continue calling the formation and try to see if they could force Jiangdong's troops out of the camp.
If they could be allowed to come out of the camp, Boss Cao felt that even if he suffered heavy casualties in the fight, he would still force Zhou Yu and Liu Bei to die outside Jianping City.
So, early the next morning, Boss Cao still went out to call for battle.
Boss Cao originally thought that if he sent Xu Chu out to call for battle, there would be people in Jiangdong who couldn't stand it. After all, Xu Chu had just killed two generals of the other side yesterday. As long as Jiangdong's army had a temper, they should go out to fight with him.
But it was obvious that Boss Cao underestimated Zhou Yu's endurance. Under his pressure, although the Jiangdong soldiers were extremely angry, no one dared to leave the camp.
And if Jiangdong's army doesn't come out, Liu Bei next to him will naturally not move. After all, he is not stupid enough to use his own troops to avenge Zhou Yu.
Therefore, the war in Jianping has entered a relatively stable confrontation again.
At this time, both sides are like skilled swordsmen, waiting for the other party to make a mistake so that they can go up and give him a fatal blow.
However, this calm only lasted for three days, because three days later, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, together with Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, arrived at Cao Jun's camp.
As the commander-in-chief of Cao's army, Boss Cao was naturally very generous to the four of them. For a while, the guests and hosts were very happy.
In particular, Boss Cao recognized Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang. After all, Boss Cao had met these two people before and left a deep impression on them.
When Zhao Yun was still under Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, as Gongsun Zan's fellow disciple, had a very good relationship with Gongsun Zan. At that time, Liu Bei was still serving as the magistrate of Pingyuan County. After receiving the request for help from Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong, Liu Bei felt that Pingyuan was too
I don't have many soldiers, so I want to change my base area.
So he asked Gongsun Zan for help and asked him to support some of his elite troops. Therefore, Gongsun Zan asked Zhao Yun to take Baima Yi to assist Liu Bei.
After helping Kong Rong defeat Guan Hai, Liu Bei originally wanted to stay in Beihai, but later he encountered Boss Cao's crusade against Xuzhou. Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, was defeated and asked Kong Rong for help.
Kong Rong, who had long wanted to drive away Liu Bei, naturally took this opportunity to send Liu Bei out. Only then did Zhao Yun follow Liu Bei to Xuzhou to prevent Cao Cao from attacking Xuzhou.
It can be said that Zhao Yun had just followed Liu Bei for a short time. Zhao Yun's impression of Liu Bei was actually not bad at first. It was only later that he followed Liu Xie that he realized Liu Bei's sinister intentions.
As for Liu Bei, he also longed for Zhao Yun, a powerful general who could equal his second and third brothers. However, Zhao Yun admired Liu Bei before, but was unwilling to follow Liu Bei.
Now Zhao Yun despises Liu Bei's villainous behavior from the bottom of his heart. He is even more unwilling to follow Liu Bei. After all, Zhao Yun is the emperor's trusted general, why should he fight with you, a rebel?
As for Zhuge Liang, Boss Cao also had a memory. He knew that Zhuge Liang was a popular figure around the emperor. The winner of the first civil and military competition was said to have amazing intelligence.
