Sun Jian and Lu Su exchanged a hint of dismay, and Lu Su clasped his fists and said, "The General is unknown. The Grand Commander suffered heavy injuries under the ambush of Cao's army. He is still in a coma and cannot tell us the situation at all." Ai Lang couldn't help but feel complicated in his heart when he heard that Zhou Yu was injured.

Xu Shu said: "Even if the Grand Governor is injured, there should be other officers and soldiers who have fled, right? What do they say?" Lu Su frowned and shook his head and said: "They are all vague. What is the situation? It's hard to explain clearly."

Sun Jian hurriedly said: "Nothing is important now. What is important is to send troops to pick up Ying Ce'er and the others back!"

Before he finished speaking, an officer rushed in outside and reported urgently: "Lord, no! The Major General's troops have retreated!" Sun Jian was shocked, suddenly stood up, and asked anxiously: "Where is Ce'er? Where is Ce'er?" The officer shook his head and said: "I don't know! But some of the defeated soldiers retreated, but they didn't know where the Major General is!" Sun Jian said angrily: "It's really unforgivable to leave the Lord General and flee without authorization!" The officer was shocked and did not dare to speak.

Ailang hurriedly rushed to the officer, "They can't tell where Sun Ce is, and they always know how he was defeated, right?" The officer hurriedly said, "The villain still has time to ask!" Sun Jian shouted angrily, "You won't go and call a few officers in!" The officer Ying Nuo ran down quickly. Not long after, two officers with very embarrassed appearances were brought in by the officer. When the two officers saw Sun Jian, they hurriedly bowed: "The villain greets the lord!"

Sun Jian snorted and asked, "What's going on? How did you lose?" The two officers looked at each other, and the officer on the left said, "We, we were suddenly ambushed by Cao's army near Changbanpo. The Cao's cavalry seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. As soon as our army arrived at Changbanpo, the enemy army broke out from all directions, and their cavalry suddenly disrupted our army. Although the major general led us to fight to the death, they were outnumbered. Not long after, the army was destroyed by them. We tried our best to break south and finally escaped, but the figure of the major general disappeared!..." The officer on the right nodded, indicating that this was the situation.

Sun Jian paced back and forth on the tent, looking extremely anxious, and shouted: "What's going on? What's going on? Why did Cao Cao set up an ambush on Changbanpo in advance?"

At this moment, the officer who had come to report the news ran in again, clasped his fists and said anxiously: "Report to the lord, General Cheng Pu has retreated from the defeat of Nanjun!" Sun Jian was shocked and stopped quickly to look at the door. He saw Cheng Pu, who was covered in blood and helmets, limping in with the help of an officer. Sun Jian was shocked. Seeing Cheng Pu like this, he had already guessed what the situation of the war was like without asking!

Cheng Pu knelt down on the ground with a pounce, and said in resentment and confusion: "Lord, our army was ambushed by Cao's army as soon as we arrived in Nanjun, and our army was almost wiped out!" Sun Jian shook his body for a moment, and he had no idea what to do.

Lu Su frowned and said, "Every direction was carefully planned by Cao's army! What's going on?"

Xu Shu thought, "The possibility of leaking the news is very low. Even our allies don't know your attack plan. How can Cao Cao know? I think all attack plans should be Cao Cao, no, it should be Guo Jia's information, so the Cao army can arrange everything in a targeted manner and wait for you to jump in!" Sun Jian and Lu Su's faces became very ugly. Xu Shu continued, "Based on the current situation, I'm afraid that Liu Bei's army will be in danger!" Sun Jian and Lu Su did not care about the victory or defeat of Liu Bei, but when they thought that Liu Bei's army was also defeated, they couldn't help but feel sad that they were sympathetic.

Later that day, Sun Ce finally led 30,000 defeated soldiers and retreated back to Jiangnan. Almost at the same time, news that Liu Bei's two armies had suffered a crushing defeat. The 20,000 elite troops led by Guan Yu were almost wiped out, leaving only Guan Yu and two thousand people who fled back to the east coast of the Han River. The army led by Liu Bei also suffered ambushing near Xiangyang and lost more than half of the defeated soldiers and defeated soldiers and escaped back to the east coast of the Han River. At this point, the coalition forces carefully planned a large-scale counterattack ended in a complete failure, and all the armies were defeated by the Cao army!

Sun Jian and others gathered the remaining soldiers in the Red Cliff Camp, and the ten pavilions had already been broken to the seven pavilions.

The news of the defeat soon spread throughout Jiangdong. The officers, soldiers and the people were extremely frightened. Many civil officials began to make suggestions to Sun Jian, proposing to surrender to Cao Cao to protect the lives of Jiangdong.

In the Lu Bu army tent, Ai Lang paced back and forth with a distressed look on his face, saying, "Cao Cao just sent an envoy to send a letter of persuasion to Sun Jian. I heard that most civil officials advocate surrender! If Sun Jian surrenders, I will be in trouble!" Huang Yueying smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. Sun Jian is known as the tiger in Jiangdong. When Dong Zhuo was in trouble, he was determined to surrender to Sun Jian?" Ai Lang shook his head and said, "That's not sure! His navy was almost wiped out, and the army also suffered heavy losses! Maybe he surrendered to Cao Cao in a disheartened way!"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "The subordinates' views are the same as those of his wife. However, if the lord is not at ease, he is willing to go to the Jiangdong Army's tent to lobby Sun Jian. The subordinates can ensure that Sun Jian will never surrender to Cao Cao, but will fight him to the end!"

Ailang nodded, "Okay, it's time for Lao Xu." Xu Shu bowed to Ailang, then turned around and left the tent.

After defeating the Jiangdong Army and Liu Bei Army, Cao's army rebuilt a larger water and land village next to the destroyed water and land village. The infantry and cavalry army were stationed in the water and land village. The water and land village stretched for dozens of miles. From a distance, it was far beyond the city and the scene was spectacular. After this battle not long ago, Cao's army was even more powerful, and the momentum soared into the sky seemed to crush the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River!

That morning, Cao Cao was accompanied by Guo Jia and strolled on the shore of the Dazhai Village on the Land. At this time, the shouts of the training of the Cao army's water and land army echoed over the Yangtze River one after another.

Cao Cao said, "The envoy I sent to Sun Jian to persuade the surrender was killed by Sun Jian. Do you know?" Guo Jia nodded and said, "This incident is not surprising. Sun Jian is known as the tiger in Jiangdong. He has extremely fierce personality and has long had the ambition of an emperor. Such a person is afraid that it is impossible for such a person to surrender!" Cao Cao smiled and said, "If you don't surrender, don't surrender! Now their coalition forces have suffered heavy damage, especially the Jiangdong naval army destroyed by me. Resistance is just a desperate attempt! This is good, the victory won by war is the most reliable!" Then he said, "The army has been resting for a few days, with high morale and fighting spirit! I don't want to delay any more

To postpone it, I will report to the big river early tomorrow morning!" Guo Jia nodded thinking and said with a smile: "My wise lord!" Cao Cao waved his hand with a smile, "Others can say this, but you, Guo Jia, cannot! My Cao, is far inferior to yours! If it weren't for you, I would not only kill Cai Mao by mistake, but also not beware of their coalition forces launching a surprise attack on the night of the east wind! I am afraid that they will not be defeated but me! Fengxiao, you are really my Jiang Ziya!" Guo Jia smiled and clasped his fists and said, "The Prime Minister has been awarded too much." Cao Cao patted Guo Jia's shoulder heavily and laughed.

That night, Cao Cao set up a banquet in the military camp to reward the three armies, preparing to fight across the Yangtze River in one go the next day. Cao Cao was very excited and sang loudly at the banquet. After a while, the soldiers and advisers also sang loudly. For a while, the huge singing like a sea tide echoed on both sides of the river, making people feel the relaxed mood of Cao's army and the confidence to win. The strong southeast wind blew the Cao army's flag and made a strong sound, which further added to the momentum of Cao's army.

On the contrary, in the Jiangdong Military Camp opposite the Chibi Camp, there was a dead atmosphere. The officers and soldiers were silent around the bonfire, and everyone's eyes were filled with confusion and worry.

At this time, an officer rushed into the Jiangdong Army's tent and saw Sun Jian who was drinking. He clasped his fists and said, "Lord, Mr. Xu Shu under General Lu Bu is here, please see him." When Sun Jian heard Xu Shu coming, his sleepy drunk eyes were shocked and hurriedly said, "Please!" The officer Ying Nuo ran down. After a while, Lu Su walked into the tent and bowed to Sun Jian, "General Sun!"

Sun Jian quickly got up and walked quickly to Xu Shu, and asked with hope, "Sir, do you have good news to tell me?"

Xu Shu smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "My lord has gathered a large army at the Sanjiang Port and is ready to launch a battle to cross the river!" Sun Jian looked surprised, but then said with a worried look: "Now that my navy is completely wiped out. Although Brother Feng Xian has the intention to fight back, it is probably just in vain?" Xu Shu smiled and said, "My general has his own tricks, General Sun doesn't have to worry. Liu Bei has been prepared for a counterattack. I wonder what General Sun said?"

Sun Jian said decisively: "Since the sir has said that, what else can I do? I will gather troops and prepare to attack!" Xu Shu clasped his fists and said, "Then please let General Sun see the fire. When he saw the fire in Cao, he immediately attacked!" Sun Jian said in confusion: "Cao Camp is on fire? How do you want to set fire?" Xu Shu smiled and said, "General Sun will know soon." Then he clasped his fists and said, "If there is no problem with General Sun, he will say goodbye!" After that, he quickly walked away.

Sun Jian thought for a while, then called his own soldiers to call for the drums to gather the generals.

Soon after, Sun Jian assembled all the 50,000 troops he could gather at the shore to wait for news. However, as time went by, Cao's camp continued singing and there was no abnormality. Sun Jian and others were anxious, and Cheng Pu couldn't help but say, "Lu Bu has no navy, how should he fight back? He can't be talking nonsense, right?" The generals were also talking. Sun Jian became even more anxious and paced back and forth in the same place.
