Compared with Cao Cao's anger, Xi Zhicai and Kuai Yue beside him were more calm.

They knew how much Sun Jian's support helped Jiangling City at this moment.

It can be said that with the help of Sun Jian, it became very difficult for Cao Cao to take Jiangling City.

"My lord, now that our army is newly defeated and the casualties are not small, we need to regroup our troops to continue to attack Jiangling City. Kuaiyue said softly.

There was concern in his tone.

What worries him more is Sun Jian's attitude. Now Sun Jian is flourishing in the south. If he wants to stand on Liu Bian's side, then Cao Cao needs to face a double-sided battle.

Even if they took Jiangling City, they still had to deal with Sun Jian.

This is not something that can be done in a month or two.

After Cao Cao's initial anger, his mood gradually calmed down.

After all, he is a smart person, and he is more aware that he needs to remain calm in order to make the most correct judgment.

"Zhicai, what do you think of Sun Jian?"

"This person has really taken refuge with Liu Bian?

Xi Zhicai has been silent since hearing the news from Cao Ren's mouth, and now he heard Cao Cao's question.

Only then did he open his mouth: "My lord, it is too early to draw conclusions at this time. Now that the world is in chaos, as long as there are people who have the ability, there is no one who does not want to dominate the world."

"Even if he has no ambition to unify the world, he is willing to stick to one side and become a hegemon."9

"Sun Jian is brave and determined, and he is a tiger general. When he attacked Dong Zhuo, he did everything to show himself, and he also fought against Liu Bian with the coalition forces."

"If it is said that he has taken refuge with Liu Bian, I do not quite believe it.

"It's just that his shot this time exceeded our expectations.

"Maybe he has a private relationship with Liu Bian.

Although Xi Zhicai (cdbi) did not express his views on Sun Jian, but his words revealed that Sun Jian was unlikely to take the initiative to surrender.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment: "I have been in contact with X Wentai, and this person is also ambitious. I don't think he can go to Liu Bian, especially when the world is not clear. 35

"Will he want to take Jiangling by himself? To expand his strength? If so, although we cannot take Jiangling, we can eliminate the nails in it. As for the rest, we can deal with it later."

Xi Zhicai shook his head: "This subordinate thinks it's impossible, Jiangling is a place of right and wrong, especially in winter, he shouldn't take the initiative to attack."

"The situation is like a mess now, maybe in two days, everything will be clear."9

Cao Cao nodded: "The order goes on, the whole army rests!

Cao Cao's rest in place was naturally Cao Cao's choice in desperation.

However, Cao Cao didn't know at this moment that several people were rushing towards his camp several dozen miles away.

The sky gradually dimmed.

Cao Jun's camp was full of light, perhaps because of Sun Jian's reinforcements, they didn't dare to relax too much tonight.

At the gate of the camp, a few Cao soldiers saw the horses galloping in the distance, and instantly became alert.

"Who, stop it!!

The horses stopped abruptly, and the people sitting on the horses shouted loudly: "We are the messengers of the Grand Administrator of Changsha, Sun Sun, and we have a very important matter. We have come to meet Duke Cao!

His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and Cao Bing at the door did not dare to act directly.

"Anyone from Changsha?"

The leader of the team murmured a few words, and his face was a little ugly.

You must know that during the day, Sun Jian was fighting with them just now.

Now that there are still messengers coming, is this a demonstration?

Thinking of this, his eyes were a little bad, but he didn't dare to do it lightly.

Cao Cao's military is very strict, if he doesn't even report, if he handles it directly, I'm afraid he will be bad luck later!

Thinking of this, although I really wanted to do it in my heart, I didn't dare at all.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and report it!!""

Cao Cao's handsome account.

It was getting late, but he still didn't sleep.

He simply invited Kuaiyue and Xi Zhicai to discuss the next plan.

But after all, there is always no conclusion.

The most important reason for this was that Sun Jian intervened, which made things extremely complicated.

"Ugh…"

Cao Cao sighed heavily, and at this moment he even felt that killing Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry was a mistake.

If he was here by himself, how could there be a big defeat?

Not to mention their joint attack, I am afraid that Huang Zhong was too frightened to leave the city.

"..."

"There are messengers who claim to be sent by Master Sun of Changsha."

Cao Cao and the three were stunned by the announcement of the soldiers outside.

They never thought that Sun Jian would send someone here at this time.

Just fought during the day and come at night?

What exactly does that mean?

He was puzzled and turned his eyes to Xi Zhicai and Kuai Yue.

Xi Zhicai and Kuai Yue looked at each other: "My lord, since they dare to come, it means that everything is not as bad as we thought.

"We should meet and see what medicine is being sold in Sun Ce's gourd.

Cao Cao nodded: "Bring people up, remember that you must be polite.

"Here!

The soldier heard the order to hurry down, needless to say,
