Cao Ren looked outside Jiangling City.

I saw a busy scene outside the city. After yesterday's small defeat, Jiangdong's soldiers began to become stricter.

Cao Ren believed that yesterday's battle was definitely an insult to Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu had to bear the insult before him.

Now if Zhou Yu wanted to take revenge, he had to attack the city step by step, clearing away the antlers of the deer, pulling out the horses, laying the treads, tearing down the wall of sheep and horses, and finally setting up a ladder to attack the city.

But Cao Ren is not afraid of this.

Liu Biao used Jiangling City as his back-up force and stored a large amount of weapons and food.

He can fight a protracted battle in a multiplayer sport, but he can't fight Zhou Yu outside the city.

Cao Ren was still ordering the craftsmen in the city to make arrows, and the Jiangdong soldiers outside the city were preparing to build a mountain of earth.

Comparing the two, Cao Ren did not think that his subordinates could shoot more accurately than Jiang Dong in terms of archery.

Wen Lie, who watched the battle yesterday, said that the cavalry led by Guan Ping did not move at all and had no intention of stepping forward to help stop them.

Come to think of it, the Sun and Liu families are really at odds with each other, and what the Prime Minister said is indeed true.

As long as we are dragged on in Jiangling City, the first people to suffer will be the Sun and Liu families.

The only pity is that the prime minister's troops are insufficient. Otherwise, taking advantage of Jiangdong's emptiness, he could have united with the families who wanted to surrender to the prime minister to rebel.

I heard that Shanyue in Jiangdong has rebelled. This is a good thing for our side, but it is not a good thing.

"General, the Jiangdong soldiers outside the city are afraid that they will pile up mountains of earth to attack the city!" Cao Xiu also finished patrolling the other half of the circle and stepped forward to salute.

"What are you afraid of? They don't have a thunderbolt car. I can't make it even if they try to do it."

Cao Ren waved his hand casually, he had already made preparations for the attack on the city.

"Now Jiangdong Zhou Yu has fallen into my trap."

Cao Ren has always maintained an attitude of not being able to escape. Even if you come to attack, you still act like you don't care about Yiling City. You only want to protect Jiangling City.

Yesterday's unexpected small victory not only boosted the morale of our own soldiers, but also attracted Zhou Yu's full attention, making him determined to attack the city.

At this time, it was time for him to send his soldiers to attack Yiling City.

The spies in Yiling City have sent back the news that Jiangdong General Gan Ning is leading several hundred men to garrison Yiling City, and his strength, including the newly surrendered troops, can reach a thousand.

Cao Ren didn't take this Jinfan thief seriously.

Gan Ning failed in the rebellion in Yizhou and fled to Jingzhou. He did not want to be welcomed by Liu Biao and Huang Zu, so he led a group of Jinfan thieves and fled to Jiangdong.

Cao Ren thought that the successful capture of Yiling City this time was entirely a trick, and it was indeed a trick.

"General, what do you want me to do?" Cao Xiu bowed and asked.

"My original intention was to let Zi Lian and Wen Lie command 6,000 soldiers together to march to Yiling City, kill Gan Ning, and take Yiling City back into our hands."

Cao Ren clenched his fists and said, "Before the Sun and Liu families get back together, I will definitely make Zhou Yu and his family ignore each other."

"Here."

Cao Xiu bowed in agreement, then raised his head and said, "May I ask, General, when will we set off?"

"When will we set off?" Cao Ren stroked his messy beard, thought for a while and said:

"In the past two days, you first select the soldiers with good legs and feet in the camp. As for the cavalry, you can take away nine hundred. Then you will deploy more than a hundred of your tiger and leopard cavalry. In this way, you will be able to capture Yiling City."

"Here."

Cao Xiu's face was filled with joy, he was finally in charge of an army. Even though he was in charge of an army together with his uncle, his uncle would follow his advice most of the time.

Cao Ren pointed to the oar in the distance outside the city and said, "Wen Lie, do you think Zhou Yu will be up there?"

"Zhou Yu?"

Cao Xiu had also discovered the oar a long time ago, but there were not many soldiers guarding it. It would be feasible to send tiger and leopard cavalry to overthrow the oar.

"General, why don't I lead my troops to test it out? The soldiers from Jiangdong will definitely not be able to support you in time.

Regardless of whether you are Zhou Yu or not, you must not miss such an opportunity."

"No need, just let him see. If no one is on guard, it won't be Zhou Yu.

As long as you don't see us mobilizing our soldiers at night, Zhou Yu is actually more anxious than us." Cao Ren stroked his beard and thought again:

"By the way, if you want to take Yiling City, you have to hide it from Zhou Yu for a few days and order the craftsmen to make more elephant figures and set them up on the city wall at night to avoid Zhou Yu's suspicion."

"Here."

Cao Xiu quickly agreed and put the elephant man on the city wall to act as a suspect.

Anyway, it was dark, so I could only see the silhouette of someone on the city wall. As for whether it was a real person or a fake, who outside the city knew whether it was true or not.

In this way, the soldiers in the city can take more time to recuperate, so as not to be nervous and unable to rest after the siege begins.

Cao Ren looked at Jiangdong's soldiers digging trenches outside the city, and saw that the sling of the oar had been lowered, and he had no intention of sending soldiers to attack it.

He wanted to keep this thing, encourage Zhou Yu to attack the city, and use human lives to fill up the defense arrangements under the city.

Lu Su's feet landed on the ground, and his heart suddenly felt like he was back to his peak.

This oar is really too high!

As for the treatment method mentioned by Guan Ping just now, when I heard him say that he was a veterinarian, it felt even more unreasonable.

"Young General." Guard Wang Xi let Guan Ping use his strength to jump out.

Guan Ping glanced at Lu Su and said with a smile: "Mr. Zijing, you can try the method I just mentioned.

Although I am a veterinarian, I can also heal people. If you don’t believe me, just ask my personal guard Wang Xi.”

Wang Xi raised his chest and raised his head, and said proudly:

"My life was saved by the young general's medical skills. Mr. Zijing, you can trust my young general, he will not harm you."

Lu Su smiled and nodded. As a veterinarian, you are probably a veterinarian. Don't think that you are a veterinarian because you have delivered babies to war horses.

As for what the personal guard Wang Xi said, Lu Su even disagreed.

The personal guards around the general are willing to die for the general. It is extremely ordinary to echo these words.

"Hey, Mr. Zijing, you still don't believe me!"

Guan Ping didn't care. Anyway, the idea was given to him. As for whether he believed it or not, it was all up to him.

"Dingguo is telling the truth. If you said it seriously, I would believe it, but you just said it."

"Mr. Zijing, you can really try this method. It doesn't cost any money anyway. It won't do you any harm to have some faith."

Guan Ping paused and smiled again: "If you don't believe me when I ask you for the medical fee, do you think this is true?"

"Hahaha, I can't say it, I can't say it to you." Lu Su stroked his beard and thought for a while: "What Dingguo said is reasonable. I have to believe it."

"Report, Major General. Military Advisor Kong Ming has invited me. He is waiting by the river and has come specifically to ask me to find the Major General."

Xing Daorong rode directly to report.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Guan Ping responded, then clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Zijing, my military advisor called me, I will go and ask a question first."

"General Guan Xiao, please."

Guan Ping took the war horse from his bodyguard and then followed Xing Daorong to beat the horse and leave.

"Major General, Military Advisor Zhuge said that the matter is not urgent. I will notify you after you finish the work."

"Yes, I understand." Guan Ping pulled the reins and said, "Go and take the soldiers under your command to ride the horse and get familiar with it, so as not to encounter Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry in the future and we will suffer a loss."

"Here."

Xing Daorong rode away.

On the Jingzhou River, a small boat docked on the shore.

Zhuge Liang wore a bamboo hat on his head and sat on the shore fishing with a simple fishing rod, with freshly brewed tea beside him.

"Dingguo should step more lightly to scare away the fish that wants to take the bait. I won't do that."

"Commander Zhuge is very elegant."

Guan Ping sat on the marching horse that had been prepared for him long ago, and also picked up the advanced bamboo pole beside him.

"It's just a break while busy." Zhuge Liang kept staring at the float in the water.

Guan Ping really didn't expect that this kind of fishing rod now has pulleys and keeps spinning. Guan Ping thought that Zhuge Liang was a senior fishing friend.

After finishing planting the land, would he go to the river to catch fish and relax? If the world is peaceful, would he often go fishing?

When Guan Ping hung up the bait and threw it into the river, Zhuge Liang asked:

"Dingguo, did Cao's army in Jiangling City go out to fight in the field yesterday?"

"Yeah, it's funny to say that yesterday more than 3,000 Jiangdong soldiers could not stop Cao Ren's dozens of elite cavalry.

The funniest thing is that Cao Ren returned to the city unscathed. This battle greatly increased the prestige of Cao's army and no one dared to underestimate it."

"Are you laughing at Jiangdong?"
