The longest way in the game is Gaia's routine.

No one expected that at the beginning of the battle, the most exciting "burning of Red Cliffs" in the Battle of Red Cliffs had ended.

In a moment, the lords of Cao Cao's camp caught off guard.

What kind of scene was the burning of Red Cliff? Let’s recall it.

When Chibi was defeated, Cao Cao ordered a fire to burn off the supplies and warships of Wulin Camp. He then led the remaining troops to rush to Yunmengze to retreat westward, and lost the road on the way.

Cao Cao returned on the road leading to Huarong. At that time, the road was muddy and the sky was blowing strong wind. Cao Cao ordered the weak soldiers to pave the road with weeds, and the cavalry could pass. The weak soldiers were trampled by the retreating people and were trampled to death.

I have to say that Cao Cao's heart is really cruel.

In the Romance of the Romance, Zhuge Liang made a brilliant plan and arranged for Guan Yu to guard Huarong Road in advance. Guan Yu let Cao Cao go because of his friendship, etc., which were naturally fictional. Even so, the Cao army was very difficult along the way.

At the same time, Zhou Yu and Liu Bei's army advanced along the river and land, and took advantage of the victory to pursue.

Zhou Yu's army followed Cao Cao's withdrawal and pursued Jiangling. The navy went upstream and rushed forward.

Liu Bei and Huang Gai's navy entered Dongting Lake. Huang Gai's army entered Yuanjiang and seized the capital of Wuling County, Linyuan, and was appointed as the prefect of Wuling by Sun Quan.

Liu Bei rebelled against the Xiangjiang River to attack Linxiang, where Changsha was under the jurisdiction of Linxiang. Han Xuan surrendered to Liu Bei without resisting. At the same time, Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao sent troops eastward, attacking Hefei and Dangtu.

After Cao Cao fled back to Jiangling, he left Cao Ren, Man Chong, Wen Pin to guard all the places and ordered his troops to return to the north.

In addition to the troops lost in Chibi and Wulin, Cao Cao decisively abandoned the weak soldiers during his retreat. He hurriedly retreated without taking away any supplies. A large number of soldiers were starved to death. The result of the entire war was that most of the Cao army headquarters was killed and injured.

The army of one hundred thousand people in our unit finally fled back to Jiangling.

The elite troops under Cao Cao, led by Xu Chu, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun and others, had the strongest adaptability. The cavalry ran all over China, running faster than anyone else, and the losses were not big. The biggest loss was the navy, which was almost wiped out, thus losing control of the Han River and the Yangtze River.

Another army of Cao's army, Zhao Yan and the seventh army, were not affected by the main battlefield of Chibi, and they successfully retreated to Jiangling without direct losses.

Strictly speaking, although Cao Cao's main force did not suffer much loss.

It was just because of the loss of the navy and the low morale in the army that Cao Cao had no intention of a great war and had to withdraw to the north. He made a long-term plan and allowed Sun and Liu to continue to grow bigger, which led to the subsequent Three Kingdoms.

Therefore, the first task before the lord of Cao Cao's camp was to dissuade Cao Cao from going back, but to have a head-on battle with Sun Liu's army based on Jiangling.

Otherwise, everything will be empty.

...

Just as the lords were making trouble, the announcement of the battle sounded on time.

"Battle Announcement: A total of forty lords participated in the Battle of Red Cliff, with a total force of 620,000. Cao Cao's camp had a total force of 15 lords with a total force of 270,000. Sun and Liu's camp had a total force of 25 lords with a total force of 350,000."

There were fifty qualifications to participate in the war in China, and only forty people finally participated in the war.

The later the battle, the more giants the world. Ordinary lords no longer have the confidence to participate in such a competition. If they are not lucky, the contribution they have gained in the battle will not be enough even the resurrection and the dead army will be killed.

The entire [Yanhuang League] joined the Sun and Liu camp.

First, with the intelligence ability of Di Chen and others, it is not difficult to speculate that Shanhaicheng would choose Cao Cao's camp. Second, the temptations of Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others are themselves stronger than those of the generals and counselors under Cao Cao.

If there is no "betrayal" of siege lions and searching for dragons to point acupoints, the two camps should be evenly matched.

Now, the sides are slightly tilted.

Thinking of this, Bai Hua and others' expressions became even more ugly.

"Battle Announcement: Because Cao Cao's camp has weaker troops than Sun and Liu's camp, according to the battle rules, Cao Cao's camp will automatically obtain a gain bonus of 25% increase in troops' defense."

...

"Battle Announcement: According to the test results of title and merit value, Cao Cao's camp's Yiren is the representative of Wuyi, Duke. Sun Liu's camp's Yiren is the representative of Di Chen and the second-class marquis."

...

Whether it is Cao Cao's camp or Sun Liu's camp, the Yi Ren Legion's troops exceeds the camp army. Therefore, in this battle, the Yi Ren Legion will play a more critical role.

The weight represented by Yi Ren is also extremely important.

On the Cao Cao's camp, Shanhai City, Lingxi City, Luofeng City and Wanshi City have a total of 150,000, which has exceeded half of the Yi Ren Legion.

Coupled with the prestige of Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo seemed to have no problem in commanding the Yi Ren Legion.

Ouyang Shuo was not so optimistic.

It was just because in his own camp that Ouyang Shuo met Qin Feng from [Yunnan City State], Ruan Ping from [Lingnan City State], and Caiyun South of [South Hunan City State].

With these three existences, Cao Cao's camp will not be peaceful.

Ouyang Shuo had no idea whether the three of them chose Cao Cao's camp by coincidence or intentionally. Thinking of the upcoming Battle of Southern Xinjiang, this battle became more and more interesting.

As Di Chen and others occupied a province, the number of lords in China dropped sharply. The four major city-states became the backbone of the lord group.

In this battle, there were only eight lords from the four major city-states. They also enjoyed a certain right to speak in the Inhuman Legion, and were not controlled by Ouyang Shuo.

No matter what, Ouyang Shuo’s first thing to do is to go and meet Cao Cao.

***************

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Shuo brought three thousand Shenwu Guards and brought Xiahou Ying to Jiangling City.

It wasn't Ouyang Shuo's big fanfare, nor was it his show-off. It was because there were too many people in Cao Cao's camp who had ulterior motives. Ouyang Shuo had to be cautious, and what he was guarding against was someone taking risks.

If Ouyang Shuo is assassinated, the fun will be great.

In the military camp, the city guard army led by Eilai was the same route; Bai Hua, Feng Zihuang and Bai Meng had a total of 50,000 troops, and was led by Zhou Bo, the general of Luofeng City.

The two armies began to work together in the military camp, and they were also the army that monitored Ruan Ping and others.

Before the war began, the alien army in Cao Cao's camp planted the seeds of distrust and was wary of each other.

...

In the 13th year of Jian'an, when the Red Cliff was burned, Sun Zhongmou was 26 years old, Zhuge Kongming was 27 years old, Zhou Yu Gongjin was 33 years old, Liu Xuande was 47 years old, and Cao Mengde was 53 years old.

Cao Cao was the oldest, over fifty years old, and he was already at the age of knowing destiny.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand Cao Cao's urgency. After defeating Liu Bei, he wanted to attack and continue Sun Quan, and attempt to complete the hegemony of unifying the world when he was not prepared enough.

"I'm not waiting for time!"

It is no wonder that Cao Cao would chant such a lamenting tune as "Short Songs" in Chibi.

When drinking and singing, how much life is!

It’s like morning dew, and the past is full of suffering.

I should be generous with my heart, and I will never forget my worries.

How to relieve worries? Only Du Kang.

...

It’s as bright as the moon, when can it be picked?

Worry comes from it and cannot be stopped.

The strange and the fields are everywhere, and the mutual use is in vain.

...

The mountains are never tired of high and the sea is never tired of deep.

Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the whole world returned to his heart.

...

At that time, Cao Cao was in a very complicated mood. He had the ambition of sweeping the north and leading his army to fight south, and the feeling of being over fifty years old and not being able to achieve hegemony.

The Cao Cao that Ouyang Shuo met in the city lord's mansion was different.

The Red Cliff was defeated, the hegemony was gone, the army was retreating in a mess, and the morale of the army was disintegrated. Even if Cao Cao was optimistic, his expression could not hide his frustration.

Although Cao Cao's voice was still generous, he could not hide his disheartened and lazy feeling.

In the reception room, Cao Cao sat upright on top, and there was an old man dressed as a scholar sitting at the bottom. The generals under his command, even the "bodyguard" Xu Chu, did not appear here.

After the great defeat, the generals were probably busy reorganizing the army at this time.

When he saw the old man, Ouyang Shuo's eyes narrowed. The images of historical figures in the game were not fabricated by Gaia. Some portraits were passed down, and the portraits were used as models; those without portraits were used as references.

Therefore, if the lord uses a little more effort, he will probably recognize historical figures.

Ouyang Shuo has put a lot of effort into historical materials. Combined with the information about the Battle of Chibi, he immediately concluded that the old man in front of him was Jia Xu, an important adviser under Cao Cao.

Jia Xu was a famous strategist and famous tactician of the Wei Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. He was called "poisonous warrior" at that time. He had many strange plans and had no choice but to make plans. Jia Xu was extremely wise and good at protecting himself. He was known as the representative of strategist's self-scheming.

When he died, Jia Xu was 77 years old and was a rare man of good deeds during the Three Kingdoms period.

Among the real Three Kingdoms, Jia Xu can definitely rank among the top three in the list of strategists. As for Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Sima Yi and others, strictly speaking, they cannot be considered pure strategists.

In the Wei camp, it is probably only Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Xun You who can compare with Jia Xu.

Before the Battle of Chibi, Jia Xu suggested that the people should be appeased rather than mobilize the troops to fight against Jiangdong. Unfortunately, Cao Cao endured it for two months, but in the end he could not help but send troops to Jiangdong and was defeated.

In this way, Cao Cao naturally attached more importance to Jia Xu.

I have to say that Cao Cao's generous pride in employed people is worth learning from too many lords.

"How could a strange man say he has no clothes? I pay homage to the Prime Minister!" Ouyang Shuo bowed and bowed.

Xiahou Ying, who was following Ouyang Shuo, looked at Cao Cao with a complicated expression, but did not salute.

"Who are you? How dare you be rude to the Prime Minister?" Jia Xu saw this and came forward to rebuke.

When Xiahou Ying heard this, he smiled slightly and looked at Cao Cao, "Do you recognize me?"

In fact, as soon as Xiahou Ying came in, Cao Cao's eyes froze and he was a little confused. When Xiahou Ying spoke, he basically concluded his guess.

"Dare you ask, is Mr. Teng's ancestor?"

There is a portrait of Xiahou Ying hanging in the ancestral hall of the Xiahou clan.

"That's right." Xiahou Ying nodded.

"Ah!" Jia Xu was shocked.
Chapter completed!
