Cao Cao frowned. In the process of attacking the city, he realized the power of Zhou Yu's methods. No matter what kind of siege method Cao Jun adopted, he could see through Zhou Yu. At first, Cao Cao contacted the family in the city and prepared to fight against Zhou Yu. It was seen through by Zhou Yu.
The night raid attacked the city, but did not have the expected effect.
For this battle, Jiangdong Army obviously made adequate preparations. The two-month siege did not exhaust the enemy's arrows and other materials. This situation did make Cao Cao a little anxious.
After the situation on the Yizhou battlefield reached Cao Cao's ears, it gave Cao Cao a sense of urgency. The city of Chengdu was breached, and even Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had captured Lu Bu alive. In this case, there would be no more on the Yizhou battlefield. People can block the strength of the Chang'an Army. As for the southern counties and counties will resist when they face the Chang'an Army. In Cao Cao's view, he only needs to send generals of the army to the southern counties and counties to calm the southern counties.
Lu Bu got Yizhou, and he was still attacking the city on the battlefield of Jingzhou. If the Chang'an army returned from the battlefield of Yizhou, it would definitely have a certain impact on the safety of Xudu.
The situation in the world has reached such a point, he does not believe that Lu Bu will not send troops to help Jiangdong because of the covenant with him.
The war in Jingzhou made the relationship between Cao Cao and Sun Quan extremely bad, and after Lv Bu and Sun Quan joined forces, they could pose a greater threat to Cao Cao, thus achieving Lv Bu's goal of making distant and close attacks.
Cao Cao was between Sun Quan and Lu Bu at this time. If the Jiangdong Army could not be cleaned up on the battlefield in Jingzhou, there would be more trouble if the Jiangdong Army suddenly attacked during the future battle against Lu Bu.
"Gongda, this is news from Yizhou." Cao Cao said.
After Xun You took the letter and read it carefully, his brows frowned, "Lord, if this is the case, then the king of Jin will not be far away from Ding Yizhou."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "That's right, if our army can't break through Xiling and drive the Jiangdong army out of Jingzhou, once Lu Bu returns to Chang'an, it will be even more difficult to succeed."
"Master, the Jiangdong Army is firmly guarding the city and is extremely tough. Now other counties and counties in Jingzhou have fallen into the hands of our army." Cheng Yu said.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "After the enemy has been completely driven out of Jingzhou, Ben Hou can be at ease."
He naturally understood the meaning of Cheng Yu's words. Jingzhou now only has Jiang Xia in the hands of the Jiangdong Army. Even if it is his own retreat, the Jiangdong Army will not be able to do much. However, Cao Cao does not agree with this matter. Only by completely eliminating the enemy from the battlefield, can we be more assured, leaving the enemy on the battlefield is bound to be a great disaster.
In Jingzhou, Cao Cao is inevitable, and also needs a relatively stable Jingzhou. The situation of the world determines that Cao Jun will inevitably have a battle with the Chang'an Army. This is the battle that will affect the general situation of the world and defeat the Jiangdong Army. You can persuade Sun Quan.
Cao Cao believed that Sun Quan must have seen the threat posed by the Chang'an Army. If troops were sent from Yizhou, it could also affect the safety of Jingzhou and Jiangdong.
If Sun Quan agreed to join forces, he would have a greater chance of winning against Lu Bu, otherwise Jiang Dong would not get any good results if Cao Jun failed.
During this period of time, it is of great significance to hold Jingzhou firmly in your hands. Jingzhou is rich and can provide a lot of food and grass for the army, so that Cao Jun has the strength to fight the enemy on the battlefield, while also being able to contain it. Jiangdong Army, can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
If Jingzhou had the strength of the Jiangdong Army, the situation would have changed tremendously. After seeing the opportunity, Sun Quan would certainly not sit back and watch the opportunity slip, and it is very likely that he would unite with Lu Bu again.
Jiangdong and Lu Bu's rule are not close, and may not feel the threat from Lu Bu, but Cao Cao knows how terrifying the Chang'an Army is. Now the number of Lu Bu's army is not much different than the number of his army.
And the strength that L Bu showed on the Yizhou battlefield shocked Cao Cao. Even the Ballista, the Crossbow Army, and the Thunderbolt had such a great effect in the hands of L Bu, even if he and Liu Bei were swapped. , He also did not have enough confidence to be able to fight against the Chang'an Army on the battlefield.
Cao Cao was slightly surprised when he learned that the Yizhou Army had more powerful crossbow carts. The Chang'an Army has always been ahead of other princes in terms of equipment. It is indeed not easy for the Yizhou Army to suppress Lu Bu on the crossbow carts. Unfortunately, these ballistas did not play a big role on the battlefield.
Cao Cao coveted the Repeater. If he can get the method of building the Repeater, it means that his army will have a greater chance of winning when facing Lu Bu in the future.
"The lieutenant generals of the Chuaning Army, digging the city day and night, can't attack the city head-on, so I asked the generals in the army to dig the city down." Cao Cao said solemnly.
"Here." The generals and counsellors in the tent said in unison ~www.mtlnovel.com~ From Cao Cao's orders, they could feel that Cao Cao's certainty for Jingzhou, leaving no hope for Jiangdong Army at all.
"Lord, this is news from Xu Du." After receiving the news, Cheng Yu stepped forward regardless of the surprised gazes of the military generals and counsellors.
All along, Cheng Yu's performance to them has been relatively steady.
After Cao Cao listened, he laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I will reward Sun Gan and Ma Dai heavily to ensure the safety of the two in the city. After Benhou returns to Xudu, there will be rewards."
Everyone saw that Cao Cao behaved strangely, and Cao Cao didn't say anything clearly, so it was difficult to ask questions, but Cao Cao had such a mood, and it made the generals in the army a lot of comfort.
"The order is full of pets, and the craftsman's workshop makes every effort to build this thing. No one can approach the craftsman's workshop without an order, otherwise it will be treated in detail." Cao Cao ordered that the matter of the ballista is important.
Through the battlefield in Yizhou, Cao Cao can feel that the continuous ballistas in the Chang'an Army are not as good as the continuous ballistas in the Yizhou Army. Once Cao Jun owns these continuous ballistas, they will be on the battlefield in the future. Great help, and can even affect future wars.
"Here." Cheng Yu handed his hands. He was also a little excited. He knew the significance of the ballista to the army.
The army of the princes has always been suppressed by the Chang'an Army in equipment, but now Cao Jun has the opportunity to surpass the Chang'an Army.
It turned out that Sun Gan rushed to Xudu overnight and saw the holy sage as he wished. He spoke of the changes in Yizhou. The officials in the middle of the dynasty also felt in their hearts. The court of Yizhou and the court of Xudu were still the court of the Han Dynasty. Today, Yizhou is The Chang'an Army broke through, and they inevitably felt a little emotion in their hearts.
