Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1516: Dismissing soldiers and making peace

Sun Ce nodded slightly. On the battlefield, he realized the strength of Cao's army, which also strengthened Sun Ce's idea of ​​training an elite cavalry. Previously, the Jiangdong Army relied more on the navy to compete with the Jingzhou Army. For the cavalry,

Although the strength of Cao Cao is valued, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is much inferior to that of Cao Jun. After Cao Cao takes Xiangyang, he will inevitably become a formidable enemy of Jiangdong Army. If he cannot suppress Cao Jun with cavalry, he will inevitably be defeated in future wars.

To be in a weak position.

"Why is there so much noise outside the camp?" Sun Ce couldn't help but ask when he heard the shouts outside the camp.

Zhou Yu said: "Without him, it's just the soldiers in the army training."

At this moment, a general walked in with a hurried look: "Cao Ren led the heavy cavalry to fight outside the camp, saying that there was no one in the Jiangdong army."

Sun Ce was furious after hearing this, and was about to lead his army there, but Zhou Yu stopped him.

"My lord, the top priority now is to withdraw the troops. If my lord leads the army to retreat..." After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Sun Ce's eyes lit up.

"The generals of the ordering army are not allowed to fight." Sun Ce ordered.

The Jiangdong Army could not move out, so Cao Ren ordered the heavy cavalry to continuously scold the formation outside the camp. In terms of scolding the formation, Cao Jun was far inferior to Lu Bu's army. The officers and soldiers of the Jiangdong Army even scolded Cao Jun above the camp.

Cao Ren could only lead his cavalry back to the army.

The next day, Jiangdong's army retreated in a hurry. Judging from the news from Jiangdong's army, it was Sun Ce who was so angry that he suffered an arrow wound after learning that Cao's army was fighting outside the camp yesterday.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I didn't expect Sun Ce to be such a narrow-minded person. He ordered Cao Ren to lead the heavy cavalry to pursue Jiangdong Army."

Xun You advised: "My lord, there are wise men like Zhou Yu in the Jiangdong Army. We should be careful of the Jiangdong Army's deception in this trip."

"Heavy cavalry is fine." Cao Cao waved his hand indifferently.

The ability of the heavy cavalry was already demonstrated during the confrontation with the Jiangdong Army. Besides, Cao Ren was a well-known general in the army. If he led the heavy cavalry in pursuit, there would definitely not be a big problem. Even if it was the Jiangdong Army's strategy, relying on the heavy cavalry

With his strength, he can escape easily.

Cao Ren led a thousand heavy cavalry to pursue Jiangdong Army. On the way, Jiangdong Army soldiers suddenly came out. When facing Jiangdong soldiers, the heavy cavalry would naturally not be timid. However, there was a bed crossbow among the enemy.

Such sharp weapons show how much effort Zhou Yu put into dealing with Cao Jun's pursuers.

Facing the crossbows, even though Cao Ren had heavy cavalry in his hands, he did not dare to make any effort. Just one volley of crossbow arrows caused the heavy cavalry to lose more than twenty people.

Seeing that Jiangdong's army had an ambush and was so shameless, Cao Ren could only lead his heavy cavalry to retreat. However, Jiangdong's army laid many ambushes along the way, which made Cao's army extremely troubled. However, Cao Ren was helpless in the face of such enemy troops.

Cao's army's heavy cavalry was elite, but Jiangdong's army won by surprise. If it were a confrontation on the frontal battlefield, Cao's army's heavy cavalry would not have the slightest fear of Jiangdong's army.

After Cao Ren led his troops back to Cao's army, he lost hundreds of heavy cavalry. This situation made Cao Ren ashamed.

After Cao Cao heard what happened, he immediately ordered Cao Chun to lead a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to continue pursuing Jiangdong's army.

Many counselors and generals in the tent looked puzzled. Our own army had just been repulsed by Jiangdong Army. How could we achieve results if we sent cavalry again?

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Sun Ce deliberately retreated to lure our army to pursue. After repelling our cavalry, he must have neglected to take precautions and sent cavalry again to pursue us. This will definitely have an unexpected effect."

"My lord is wise." Everyone in the tent said one after another.

Cao Cao smoothed his beard and showed a satisfied smile. If possible, Cao Cao would like to lead troops to attack the three counties occupied by the Jiangdong Army in Jingnan. Sun Ce's injury would be a great opportunity for his side.

However, the current situation of Cao's army is not suitable for launching another large-scale battle. The soldiers are exhausted from successive battles and need time to recuperate. What's more, Cao's army also has neighbors like Lu Bu. Although when Cao's army attacked Jingzhou, Chang'an's army did not

Just because Lu Bu didn't take action doesn't mean that he would sit back and watch Cao Jun drive Sun Ce's forces out of Jingzhou.

As expected, as Cao Cao expected, when Cao Chun led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to catch up, Jiangdong Army did not take precautions after the victory. Cao Chun led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to pursue and kill them for several miles, obtaining fifty crossbows and hundreds of prisoners.

The people and the military counselors were once again impressed by Cao Cao's skill.

After Jiangdong's army returned to Jiangxia, Sun Ce followed Zhou Yu's advice and sent an envoy to Cao's army to make peace. However, Cao Cao originally intended to cease the war and went along with the flow, and the two sides temporarily stopped fighting.

On the battlefield in Jingzhou, the one who suffered the most serious losses was Liu Bei. After having Yizhou and Jingzhou, Liu Bei's strength instantly increased and was even stronger than Sun Ce's. However, this situation was only short-lived. After capturing Yizhou

, resulting in the weakness of Jingzhou, Cao's army suddenly returned to attack Jingzhou, causing the Jingzhou army to retreat steadily.

Half a month later, Cao Cao chose an auspicious day, built an altar to worship heaven outside Xiangyang City, proclaimed to the world, supported Liu Cong as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and issued an edict to enumerate Liu Bei's crimes.

The rank of cavalry general was directly deprived of him.

The dignity of the Han Dynasty, which was about to cease to exist, was once again shaken by such actions.

Although the royal family in Jingzhou did not have much influence on the princes before, many people still considered themselves to be the subjects of the Han Dynasty. However, the emergence of two emperors made the people confused when choosing. Liu Cong succeeded the Han Dynasty.

Tong, becoming the new emperor of the Han Dynasty, was a great encouragement to the officials of the Jingzhou Army.

Cao Cao conferred the title of Taiwei for Liu Cong and took over the military power under his rule. In fact, no matter what position Cao Cao was in, it did not have much influence on his current influence in Jingzhou. Cao Cao has the final say in matters in Jingzhou now.

Some officials in Jingzhou also acquiesced. The more they experienced turmoil, the more they understood what kind of status the dignity of the imperial court held in the hearts of the princes.

However, in terms of appearance, Cao Cao was more thorough than Liu Bei. At least he would seek Liu Cong's opinions on some matters. Although Liu Cong was still young, he allowed the officials in the court to learn from Cao Cao's experience.

Come to sincerity.

After Liu Bei learned about this, he naturally refused to be outdone, declared the world, denounced Cao Cao, and even deprived Cao Cao of his post as Taiwei. Jingzhou and Yizhou once again became places that attracted everyone's attention.

The country has no two days, and the people have no two masters. Such behavior can only completely dissipate the last trace of the Han Dynasty.
