Chapter 1131 Sun Quan's Withdrawal

At this time, Wu Bing had found that Zhou Tai had been killed by Dian Wei. Suddenly, the blood was gone and he fled in a panic. Dian Wei led troops to kill, and Zhou Tai's army collapsed and dispersed. Seeing this, Cao Cao quickly ordered the soldiers and horses to attack and capture most of Zhou Tai's army. Pan Zhang escaped from the death and hurriedly retreated to the rear army. Dian Wei rushed to the horse and led soldiers to help Zhang Ao. Zhang Jian was attacked by Gan Ning and Ling Tong. At this time, Dian Wei arrived, and the pressure suddenly decreased greatly. Dian Wei was against Gan Ning, and Zhang was against Ling Tong. Seeing the urgency, Zhou Yu urgently ordered the sergeant to attack. Suddenly, Xiahou Yuan led the army to kill from behind. Wu Bingjun walked away in panic. Xia Houyuan danced and shot into the crowd of Wu soldiers. He rushed left and right, as if he had entered no man's land. He came to catch Zhou Yu. He saw it and shouted loudly.

"Zhou Gongjin, you think you are very talented, but you didn't expect that my chastity had already been expected. You have been defeated for a while. Why don't you get off the horse and surrender quickly!!"

When Zhou Yu heard this, his anger surged up, and his anger attacked his heart. He roared and vomited blood and fainted. Seeing this, the generals quickly rescued him and protected Zhou Yu to escape. Xia Houyuan led troops to pursue him. Wu Bing did not dare to fight. He was killed and rushed with his head in a mouse. He was embarrassed. Gan Ning and Ling Tong saw the chaos of the rear army. They were afraid that Zhou Yu would lose. How could they dare to fight a hard battle again? They pulled out their horses and led the troops to escape. Dian Wei and Zhang Zhao then covered up, and Wu Bing threw away his armor and was defeated like a landslide, with countless casualties. The Wei soldiers won, and the long drive advanced greatly. Behind him, Cao Cao led the troops to meet the passers-by and chased Wu soldiers for dozens of miles. Along the way, the sky was dark and the earth were endlessly screaming. The Wu soldiers were all over the field and the blood flowed into a river.

Just a few months ago, Zhou Yu, who was in high spirits and intended to break through the Central Plains in one fell swoop, would not expect such a tragic situation today. Cao Wei's first counselor, Guo Jia, a 'ghost', used a plan to defeat the Wu army and annihilate more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. In addition to the previous Wu soldiers, in these two arrays, Wu soldiers have lost 50,000 soldiers! Moreover, Zhou Tai, the first brave general of Eastern Wu, was killed by General Cao Wei in this battle.

It is said that Wu Bing was defeated for a while and fled overnight. When he returned to Chen Cheng, Wei Bing had gone back by himself. Sun Quan heard that his army was defeated. General Zhou Tai was killed by Dian Wei. Zhou Yu was angry and lost nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses. Sun Quan was shocked when he heard the news, his face turned pale, and he shouted sadly. He was almost so angry that he fainted. Fortunately, Lv Mengshang was able to keep calm. He said that the Wei soldiers were exhausted after a day of fierce fighting, and they could quickly send troops out of the city to gather the defeated army. Sun Quan responded and sent Lv Meng out of the city to gather the remnants. He got thousands of soldiers and returned to the city to heal his wounds.

The next day, Sun Quan scolded the generals in the hall and shouted angrily.

"You don't know the art of war. You only rely on the courage of blood and strength to fight, resulting in this defeat, which makes you lose a great general. In the future, don't act rashly, and if you don't obey, you will be determined to correct the military law!!"

Everyone retreated with shame. In this period of time, there were a lot of dead in the Wei army, and countless horses and armors were abandoned. Sun Quan now has only 30,000 soldiers and horses left, and the Wei army is vigorous. Sun Quan was extremely worried, and Zhou Yu didn't wake up for a long time. Inside Chen Cheng, there seems to be a lingering haze.

Suddenly, one day, someone came to report that a team of Wei soldiers sent Zhou Tai's body to the city and quickly left. It turned out that Cao Cao had pity on Zhou Taizhonglie, so he sent his body back. Sun Quan quickly taught people to go out of the city to retrieve Zhou Tai's body and cry when he saw it. Those who saw it were moved and wanted to take revenge for Zhou Tai. All the generals have the will to die, and Wu Bing becomes a mourning soldier. After ten days passed, the Wei army rested and gathered momentum. Cao Cao led the troops to suppress them. Sun Quan personally led the troops and refused Cao Cao for seven or eight days. The Wu army resisted the offensive of the Wei soldiers with the momentum of mourning.

Seeing that Cao Cao could not win, Chen Cheng was eager to break, and his heart was just annoyed, so he called Guo Jia to see him. Guo Jia smiled indifferently and said calmly.

"Don't worry, my lord. Nowadays, the Wu people are fighting with the momentum of mourning troops, and they are eager to attack, which is naturally difficult to break. You can teach the sergeant to withdraw from the village, and then send one person to make peace. At present, Pan Feng has abandoned Jingzhou, and Wu Bing has repeatedly lost troops. He knows that it is difficult to make things, and he is willing to make peace. Immediately, the lord can withdraw his troops in detail, and again. Sun Zhongmou, Zhou Gongjin and others can be captured!!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed and laughed endlessly, so he ordered Guo Jia's words to pull out the village and withdraw. When Wu Bing saw that Wei Bing had retreated, he did not dare to be careless. Later, after a few days, Wei Bing still did not move. Wu Bing's tense spirit gradually loosened, and the blood gas also faded. One day, the generals saw Wei soldiers retreat and came to see Sun Quan. The generals said together.

"Cao Cao is powerful and unreliable. If you fight for a long time, you will lose a lot of soldiers. Pan Wushuang has abandoned Jingzhou. If Cao Cao sends troops to cut off the back road of our army, our army will besiege the heavy land of the State of Wei, and I'm afraid that everyone will die without a place to be buried. In someone's opinion, don't you want to seek peace?"

Hearing this, Sun Quan's face tightened, and he was hesitating. Suddenly, Zhou Yu rushed into the hall and shouted in a quick voice.

"The lord can kill all the people who speak!!!"

As soon as Zhou Yu said this, everyone's faces suddenly changed greatly. Sun Quan asked urgently. Zhou Yu snorted coldly, and his pale face was full of hatred.

"Now most of the land in Yuzhou is attacked by our army. Although our army had a lot of troops in front of us, Cao Cao fought everywhere, and his soldiers fought viciously, all of whom were tired. The lord can divide Chencheng, Ruyin, Shouchun and other places, and guard them with heavy troops. Cao Cao was eager to break, and he wanted to appease the people of Jingzhou and retreat sooner or later. Immediately, the lord can rest and raise the soldiers and horses, and then send people to Jiangdong to summon the soldiers and horses to pick them up, wait for the opportunity, and then attack the Central Plains and conquer the emperor's business, which is just around the corner. If you ask for peace, the land that the former sergeant fought desperately to get will be returned to the thief. In this way, won't those martyrs who died for the country all die in vain!!?"

Zhou Yu shouted harshly. When he was emotional, he didn't realize that he was in tears. In this expedition against Wei, nearly 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses were damaged, and Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Chen Wu and other soldiers were killed as a result. Hearing this, all the generals were ashamed and did not dare to refute. The dead soldiers suddenly flashed in Sun Quan's mind. Sun Quanru was subjected to electric shocks and a long sigh, as if he had exhausted all his strength. But he didn't agree with Zhou Yu's words. He had a pair of blue eyes and stared at Zhou Yu.

"People should retreat when they know the difficulties, and endure when they see the situation. If you insist on doing it, there is no good end.

When Zhou Yu heard this, his face was anxious and he was about to open his mouth. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan didn't wait for him to speak, and then said.

"Cao Cao has won Jingzhou, and our army has gone deep into the hinterland, but there is no heavy army to base. Thirty thousand soldiers have been fighting for a long time. If the troops are divided everywhere, once Cao Cao rests and sends troops to attack, he will only be defeated by each. Soldiers are far away from work, and it is appropriate to save money. It's better to withdraw now.

When Zhou Yu heard this, he was very angry. A pair of bright eyes shouted with a little crazy color.

"But even if the lord has the intention to withdraw his troops, how will Cao Cao stop here? If an army is attacked, what should it be!?"

Zhou Yu's voice has just fallen. Suddenly, someone came to report, and Cao Cao sent Liu Ye to see him. Sun Quan heard this and sighed.

"It seems that the old thief doesn't want to fight for a long time. Liu Ye will come here and make peace."

After Sun Quan finished speaking, he called Liu Ye to see him. Zhou Yu was eager to persuade him again, but Sun Quan suddenly had sharp eyes and shot at Zhou Yu like a blade. Zhou Yu's expression changed. Knowing that Sun Quan was angry, he had to suppress his impatience first. In a moment, Liu Ye entered the hall, finished worshipping, and told Sun Quan.

"Now the two armies have been facing each other in Chencheng for many days. In the battle between the two countries, there have been countless deaths and injuries. Although Wu sent troops to attack Wei, the king of Wei expected that this was Zhuge Liang's plan, and he did not blame the king of Wu. He also hoped that the king of Wu would withdraw his troops and return the territory of Wei, and pay tribute to the imperial court. Since then, the two countries have been at peace, which is actually a blessing for the people of the world.

Liu Yeguo, as Sun Quan expected, came here to make peace. Zhou Yu looked cold and shouted with a sigh.

"The old thief is the minister of the troubled country. He takes the current emperor as a puppet, and the great affairs of the imperial court cannot be the master. I am in Dongwu, why do I have to pay tribute to the national thief!? If Cao Cao is willing to make peace, he will withdraw his troops 60 miles away first to show his sincerity. Otherwise, I, Dongwu, would never want to be at peace, and I would rather fight to death!!"

Zhou Yu's move naturally had a deep meaning. He expected that Cao Cao did not sincerely seek peace, and naturally he did not want to withdraw his troops. At that time, Sun Quan also found that Cao Cao was treacherous, so he knew how to be prepared. Unexpectedly, Liu Ye answered cheerfully. He turned a deaf ear to Zhou Yu's words that offended Cao Cao and nod his head.

"The battle between the two countries not only depleted the soldiers of the two countries, but also harmed the people. The king of Wei is the king who loves the people. Naturally, he sincerely hopes to have a truce to calm the people. What the governor said was reasonable, and the king of Wei had expected it and issued an order for a long time. As long as the king of Wu responds to the matter of seeking peace, someone will reply immediately, and our army will leave tonight. When the King of Wu withdraws to Jiangdong, the King of Wei will make people go to the handover. Is it enough to show the sincerity of the king of Wei?

When Zhou Yu heard the words, his face changed. He quickly looked at Sun Quan and winced. Sun Quan turned a blind eye to him, with a calm look and a kind of king's majesty without anger. Sun Quan's eyes were as light as a knife, and he looked closely at Liu Ye, as if he wanted to see through what he was thinking. Liu Ye looked calm and looked at Sun Quan. After a while, Sun Quan laughed.

"The king of Wei is worthy of being a capable minister who governs the country and loves the people. No wonder the emperor is so favored. He hated Zhuge Liang's treachery, allied with Shu, and sent troops to invade. Fortunately, the king of Wei was magnanimous and did not care about the past. I was really guilty. I responded to this matter and broke up with Shu. I hope that from now on, the two countries of Wei and Wu will repair each other and not invade each other.

When Liu Ye heard the words, he bowed his hands, bowed his hands, and said in a condensed voice.

"Wu Wang Ming observed Qiu Hao and saw Zhuge Liang's trick. It's really a blessing for the two countries to stop the army."

Liu Ye Bai Bi. Sun Quan pretended to be lustful and stayed in the city for a banquet. However, Liu Ye said that he had a heavy responsibility and did not dare to delay. Sun Quan did not force him to stay, so he repaired the document. Liu Ye took over the document, so he left and left Chen Cheng to repay Cao Cao.

Liu Ye left not long ago. Zhou Yu hurriedly persuaded Sun Quan.

"The old thief has always had many tricks, and it is not easy to believe in seeking peace. I hope you think twice!"

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu coldly and shook his hand and shouted.

"The one-hearted decision has been made, and this matter cannot be discussed again. Those who violate the order will be killed!!"

Sun Quan is not weak, but self-serving. Now he has lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and he has defeated Zhou Tai, a general, and his morale is low. Moreover, his soldiers and horses went deep into the hinterland of the State of Wei. In case he was intercepted by the Wei army, he would have no place to die. Sun Quan is not Sun Ce. His temperament is calmer than Sun Ce, who is naturally impatient. The more critical he is, the clearer his thoughts are. What Zhou Yu said was not unreasonable, but Sun Quan found that since Zhou Yu knew that Cao Cao came to unify the army, he gradually lost his mind and was desperate crazy. A revengeful Zhou Yu, Sun Quan did not dare to use it. But without Zhou Yu, Sun Quan asked himself that it was difficult to resist Cao Cao. Under the balance, Sun Quan decided to withdraw his troops.

As soon as Sun Quan's words fell, Zhou Yu staggered a few steps like an electric shock, almost upside down. He did not blame Sun Quan. He only complained that he had been defeated repeatedly before, so that his army lost a lot of troops and killed and injured a full of 50,000 troops. If not, Sun Quan would not be willing to stop the army!

Zhou Yu's face became more and more pale, and a sense of resentment surged up from his abdomen. With a 'wow' sound, he spit blood in his mouth and fainted. Everyone was shocked, and Sun Quan urgently asked someone to help him into the inner hall. Zhou Yu was unconscious. Sun Quan urgently called the doctor for medical treatment, but Zhou Yu's condition still did not improve.

That night, everyone retreated. The only thing left in the room is the unconscious Zhou Yu and Sun Quan. Suddenly, Zhou Yu opened his eyes, and Sun Quan hurriedly asked Zhou Yu.

"What's wrong with Gongjin!?"

Zhou Yu sighed, shook his head, and then said.

"Since the defeat in the previous battle, Yu feels dizzy and difficult to take care of. Now I heard that the lord wants to strike. Yu is an old thief who is treacherous and pretends to be a joke. The Lord can be like this."

Zhou Yu's face is pale and colorless, but his eyes are still shining brightly. Now he has a trick. It turned out that Zhou Yu did not fall ill today, but did it intentionally. When Sun Quan came to see him, he was in a hurry to hold Zhou Yu's hand, and Zhou Yu counted it gently. Sun Quan seems to have a good heart with Zhou Yu, and he probably understands his meaning. When the doctor came, he found that although Zhou Yu was weak, he was fine and would never faint. The doctor was surprised, and Sun Quan cast a winking. The doctor understood and told everyone that Zhou Yu was very sick and could not move lightly within a month.

That night, after Sun Quan and Zhou Yu discussed it, they secretly made arrangements according to their strategies.

It is said that Zhou Yu has been sick and bedridden since then. All the generals are worried. Ten days later, Cao Cao did not see the withdrawal of Eastern Wu's troops. He was surprised and sent Liu Ye to ask. Sun Quan told him that Zhou Yu was seriously ill and could not move lightly within a month. Liu Ye was suspicious, so Sun Quan led Liu Ye to visit Zhou Yu. When Liu Ye saw that Zhou Yu's face was like earth and his breath was weak, he believed it and retreated. Liu Ye came back to see Cao Cao and made it one by one. Cao Cao listened to Liu Ye's real words and was not impatient. The delay of the Eastern Wu Dynasty was beneficial and harmless for Cao Cao, which was just the right time for Jia Xu to lead the troops to cut off his way back, so as to make a trap.

But Cao Cao didn't expect that Sun Quan had already secretly ordered the troops to withdraw. On the day Liu Ye came, most of the Wu army's troops and horses had been withdrawn.
