After Cao Ren returned to Yuyang, Cao Mengde had been waiting with Sima Yi for a long time.

Cao Ren said breathlessly, "Prime Minister, Military Advisor... Why are you here?"

Cao Mengde glanced at Cao Ren and said expressionlessly, "Is he defeated?"

"Well... But I caught the culprit Zhou Yu. It was this boy who caused us to be surrounded." Cao Ren quickly pulled Zhou Yu off the horse. Zhou Yu knelt on the ground, in a very embarrassed manner. He looked up timidly at Cao Mengde and Sima Yi. "Prime Minister, Military Advisor, I am innocent..."

"I believe you are innocent because you have been plotted against you. In fact, they have known for a long time that what you did is just a trick and borrow our hands to get rid of you." Sima Yi said.

As soon as these words came out, Cao Ren looked at Sima Yi in shock, "Military advisor, is that really that true?"

"Of course, think about it, Zhou Yu is so greedy and afraid of death, how could he use himself as bait? He was sold, too young and still..." Sima Yi said.

Cao Ren said inconsolably, "The military advisor is planning..."

"Now that the enemy has obtained your 100,000 troops, I must have thought we would temporarily return to defend Beihai and deal with Lu Bu, but we have to go the other way. As far as I know, Li Bolong is very good at using troops. After the war, he asked Han Shizhong to continue attacking Zhang Lu and distributed Jiangdong to the Sun clan. He thought that this would calm the hearts of the people and seek development? Humph, he may not be too underestimated. If we now launch a 500,000 army to attack Jingzhou, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!" Sima Yi said.

Zhou Yu quickly said, "It's not a loss for the military advisor. Such a magical strategy for a strange weapon is simply amazing!"

"Stop flattering. Since you are abandoned by Jingzhou now, they don't want you, I want you." Sima Yi said.

When Zhou Yu heard this, his face turned red, "This is not very good."

"What are you thinking? I mean, I need your efforts. You are very familiar with Jingzhou and will definitely be useful. Are you willing to take revenge?" Sima Yi said.

Zhou Yu clenched his fists tightly, "Of course I want to, I dream of it. Military advisor, please give me instructions. I am willing to go through fire and water, and I will never refuse!"

"Okay!" Sima Yi laughed and turned to Cao Mengde and said, "Lord, we can start..."

...

Li Hugo's side was having a celebration banquet because he received 100,000 troops, but Pang Tong was frowning. Li Hugo said, "I don't know why the military advisor is so bored?"

"I thought about it, something was wrong. Lord, those 100,000 soldiers were all old, weak and disabled soldiers. Why did Cao Mengde send 100,000 soldiers and disabled soldiers to attack Jingzhou?" Pang Tong said, "In fact, these 100,000 soldiers and horses are still a burden for us. Think about it, 100,000 soldiers and horses will consume a lot of food in a day, and their combat capabilities are not enough. They are all 100,000 infantrymen. They are all old, how can they still fight?" Pang Tong said.

After Pang Tong said this, Li Yuguo became confused. He thought that this battle was really successful. With Cao Mengde's command of so many powerful generals, why did he send Cao Ren over?

Just imagine that after Cao Mengde conquered the north, the north was a place of outstanding people and powerful people, and there were quite a lot of talents. But now in such a large place in Jingzhou, how could he send only one Cao Ren?

Thinking of this, Li Huguo stopped chopsticks. At this time, Sun Ce said, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Could you have something to worry about?"

"I don't know, I have a bad premonition in my heart. After today's dinner, you will quickly go to Jiangdong with your troops, taking Jianye as your capital, and only seeking the way to develop. Don't worry about anything else." Li Hugo said.

Originally, Sun Ce wanted to ask back, but when he saw that Li Hugo looked very serious, he stopped asking.

Diao Chan, who was beside Li Hugo, said, "Have you not had a good rest recently? I see that you have been busy with military affairs and have never slept for a stable sleep. Otherwise, I would have a rest earlier today and I will ask someone to prepare a herbal soup bath for you to relieve your fatigue?"

"No." Li Hugo looked into the distance, "Immediately send three scouts to patrol the major checkpoints in Jingzhou to see if there is anything suspicious."

"Okay, after all, it's a turbulent time now." Lu Qiling said, "I'm worried about my father's safety now. Although my father occupied the Beihai, the Beihai is also 600 miles away from us. If any of us is in danger, although we are allies now, the rescue may not be able to be timely."

Li Hugo thought about it, he looked at Xu Shu, and he said, "Xu Shu, if you are Cao Mengde, do you know what your first thing is to do to take down Beihai? Do you want to attack Lu Bu?"

"No, I will take advantage of the distance between Lu Bu and the lord to widen, and then attack the throat land in one fell swoop, taking Xuzhou or Jingzhou. In this way, although I am an ally, the two are separated from each other and cannot join forces to support me." Xu Shu said.

Li Huguo stood up when she heard this, "No, come here! Quickly order the three armies to prepare for the battle!"

Li Hugo's scream shocked everyone around him, but no one cares about the celebration banquet and takes their own duties and returns to their posts. In the originally lively yard, there were only a few servants and Li Hugo's family left.

"My husband, I'll go with you." Lu Qiling also came over and said.

Li Yuguo thought that Lu Qiling was very skilled in martial arts and would definitely be able to help, so she agreed. Diao Chan asked someone to clean the yard quickly without giving Li Yuguo any worries. It was a pity that the good dishes on this table had just started, and the dishes were still being stewed and had not come up.

As expected, Cao Mengde tampered with Cao Ren's army as a cannon fodder team, which reduced Li Hugo's vigilance. However, the real army was divided into seven groups, with the seven generals of the Yang family leading the troops and attacking Jingzhou in seven groups. Except for the side of the surrounding water, the exits of other routes were actually surrounded.

At this time, seven troops and horses attacked the city at the same time. The sudden ambush scared the defenders of Jingzhou. In addition, Li Yuguo's troops were hoarded in Jiangxia for the generation, and only the 100,000 old and weak soldiers were left in Jingzhou.

"It's really far-scheming, treacherous and despicable!" Pang Tong said, "The strategy of dividing troops and joining Zong's plan. Sima Yi is so strange about getting along with him. Lord... we probably have to make a choice."

Li Hugo looked at the army at the city, his face turned pale, "What choice?"

"Defend to the death or abandon the city." Pang Tong said word by word.

Upon hearing this, Li Hugo clenched his fists and said, "Is there any other choice?"

"No more, the enemy's troops were divided into seven routes, and each route had 100,000 people. This time, Cao Mengde's army was 700,000 and headed straight for Jingzhou. Our large army was in Jiangxia. General Han Shizhong and General Han went to Hanzhong. His ally Lu Bu was in Beihai and could not come back for a while. We only had 100,000 old, weak and remnants, and we probably couldn't hold on for three days!" Pang Tong analyzed.
