Chapter 28 Joint Attack on Xiling City (Continued)
Although I really don’t know the specific situation of the Yanzhou Army, it does not mean that Liao Hua doesn’t think about anything.
But he also knew that nothing he wanted was of great use, and all he could do was to guard against and prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity, which was better than anything else, right?
Yu Jin led the soldiers of Yanzhou, but still failed to pose any major threat to the Yanzhou army. Cao Cao, who was watching the battle later, frowned at this time. As for Sun Ce and Liu Bei who were later, although they looked expressionless, they were extremely happy. Both of them were saying in their hearts, "Look, what about Cao Mengde, you are like Yanzhou army."
However, although he had such thoughts in his mind, the two of them did not reveal anything on the surface. Although they knew that Cao Cao would not notice the two at all at this time, and because of his position, he could not see clearly how the two were. But Sun Ce and Liu Bei also knew that it was indeed difficult for Cao Cao to see the two of them at this time, and he would have no expression on his face. That was the best thing, and everything else was unique.
-----------------------------------------------------
Sun Ce thought to himself, look, your Yanzhou army will not be able to break through Xiling in one day, see if the bet is lost, what else do you have to say?
As for Liu Bei, he thought to himself, Cao Mengde, you will lose this bet. You may not show any of it at that time, but you will still be happy. Will you feel good? Hahaha. It's so satisfying, hahaha.
Because Liu Bei had basically never gained any advantage in the fight with Cao Cao. So he wanted something more than Sun Ce. In other words, he wanted to see Cao Cao make a fool of himself and see Cao Cao lose to Sun Ce for a bet. Indeed, he valued this more than Sun Ce. After all, many people are like this. The more he lacks something, the more he wants. At least Liu Bei was unable to avoid the common people.
At this time, Sun Ce said to Liu Bei: "Duke Xuande, it seems that our bet is, haha. It should be our winner!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly said modestly: "It's not until the last moment, but you can't draw a conclusion early!"
When Sun Ce heard this, he just smiled and didn't say more. What does Liu Bei mean? He still didn't know, but he just didn't say much.
-----------------------------------------------------
Cao Cao did not go to see Sun Ce and Liu Bei, and he did not want to pay attention to how they were.
Because at this time, everything was developed in the direction he expected. He did not think that his side could take down Xiling City in such a battle. At least judging from the previous battles between his Yanzhou Army and Liangzhou Army, he absolutely did not think that the Liangzhou Army was useless, which was absolutely not possible.
So Cao Cao did have other plans. He just didn't say anything to Sun Ce and Liu Bei. But he also knew that he didn't say anything to them at this time. But sooner or later he wanted to say it, and at that time, both of them understood what they meant.
-----------------------------------------------------
When Liu Bei next to Sun Ce heard Cao Cao's words, he suddenly realized it and thought that Cao Mengde had a backup plan. People said that there was nothing wrong with him. Sun Bofu and himself could not say that there was anything wrong with Cao Mengde, alas.
Indeed, looking at Sun Ce's temper now, wouldn't you know? It's true that Sun Ce asked Cao Cao to ask without saying anything. Yes. He couldn't say anything at this time, but in the end, Sun Ce still gritted his teeth and said, "Ah, it's not bad, Cao Sikong's words are good, let's wait until today! My coalition forces were tired of siege, but at this time they didn't say much to Cao Sikong, say goodbye!"
Cao Cao smiled at Sun Ce and Liu Bei, "I won't give it to you!"
Sun Ce waved his hands to his soldiers, "Let's go!"
But at this moment, he felt really embarrassing, but who could blame him for this? It can only be said that he was not considerate enough. Could this happen?
-----------------------------------------------------
Seeing that Sun Ce and Liu Bei left in shame, Cao Cao and the generals of the Yanzhou army all smiled knowingly. They thought they had to be their lords, Sun Bofu, and Liu Xuande, all of them were fighting aside. The Sun and Liu coalition forces were not easy to work with. They were still defeated by their lords. As for the final bet, they would still win by their own side, and they were confident in this.
Seeing that Sun Ce and Liu Bei led their troops away first, Cao Cao did not neglect. He also led his troops back to his camp.
On the way back to the camp, Sun Ce asked Liu Bei, "Duke Xuande, don't know what Duke Xuande thinks Cao Mengde thought at this time?"
When Liu Bei heard this, he thought for a while, and then said to Sun Ce: "General Sun, if the expected one is good, maybe Cao Mengde will attack Xiling tonight! But he wondered what General Sun thought?"
Sun Ce glanced at Zhou Yu next to him and saw that Zhou Yu nodded slightly. Obviously he thought so. As for Liu Bei, he still has a mind. Even Sun Ce was not stupid, he just made sure it again.
-----------------------------------------------------
Sun Ce said to Liu Bei at this time: "'Heroes' views are similar'! Ce and Xuandegong's ideas are the same!"
Liu Bei nodded, but said nothing more, and he was confused. As long as Cao Cao failed to succeed tonight, then Sun Ce would win. On the contrary, he would lose. However, Liu Bei knew in his heart that Sun Ce valued more his face than winning or losing.
As for talking about himself, to be honest, it is indeed negligible. At least in his eyes, Sun Bofu's eyes, and in his eyes, Cao Mengde's eyes, it is basically not much different.
Liu Bei had long been used to this. In his opinion, it was just a moment. Sooner or later, he would have to avenge his previous shame. He would definitely not let them look down on themselves so much and not take themselves seriously.
Not long after, the two of them led their troops back to the camp, which was not far away, so they did arrive in a while. Sun Ce and Liu Bei knew that after a while, they had to go to the central army tent between their camp and the Yanzhou camp to meet Cao Mengde, which was the "old place".
-----------------------------------------------------
After resting for a while, Sun Ce and Liu Bei took Zhou Yu and Xu Shu to the "old place".
As for Cao Cao on the other side, after he and the generals brought their soldiers back to the camp, everyone entered his central army tent first.
At this time, I heard Xu Chu say, "Lord, I feel so relieved today. After hearing his lord's words, Sun Bofu didn't even make a fart. Hahaha, it's so damn interesting!"
After hearing Xu Chu's words, many people laughed. There was no way, it was really a relief. Moreover, Xu Chu's words were interesting, so they had to laugh.
Cao Cao waved his hand to Xu Chu. No matter what, Xu Chu could scold him. After all, in this occasion, there were all his own people in the big tent. However, Cao Cao must not let him continue talking unscrupulously, although Xu Chu had finished speaking at this time.
But he had to say what he wanted to say. After all, Cao Cao was his lord, and his majesty was definitely indispensable.
-----------------------------------------------------
So at this time, Cao Cao said, "Okay, Zhongkang. There is no need to mention this matter. Everyone, our army will attack Xiling at night tonight, and we will definitely take down this city in one fell swoop, and there must be no mistakes!"
"promise!"
Almost everyone was rubbing their fists and waiting to show their skills. Cao Cao looked at the reactions of the generals, and he was very satisfied. He thought to himself Liao Hua? Haha, the Liangzhou army is strong. Indeed, our army also has elite soldiers and generals. Why are you afraid of his Liangzhou army?
After Cao Cao had instructed everyone, he went to the central army tent between the camps of both sides, just like Sun Ce and Liu Bei, and went to meet with Sun Ce and Liu Bei. This is a must. Whether it is going early or late, it will definitely be obtained. Otherwise, such a big tent will be set up for anything.
-----------------------------------------------------
The three of them gathered again in the central army tent between the camps of both sides, and the person Cao Cao brought was not Xun You, but Cheng Yu.
Sun Ce and Liu Bei arrived first before Cao Cao. After Cao Cao entered the tent, he saw that both of them were there, and he smiled and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that the two have arrived long ago, but Cao Cao is late. Please forgive me!"
After seeing Cao Cao walk into the tent, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and Xu Shu stood up almost at the same time.
Then Sun Ce said, "Cao Sikong is polite. My husband and I have only arrived one step earlier, but we haven't been waiting for a long time!"
As he said that, he glanced at Liu Bei, and you can say a few words that meant.
Liu Bei understood and said to Cao Cao: "General Sun's words are good, and that's true, Cao Sikong doesn't have to be polite!"
Cao Cao didn't say much and said to the two directly: "That's right, let's sit down and chat!"
After saying that, the few people sat down and started today's conversation. To be honest, it's still the war today, so we must not be too far away from this, so the few people talked about this.
-----------------------------------------------------
Whether it was Sun Ce or Liu Bei, it seemed as if it had been discussed and did not ask Cao Cao what he had planned at night. Even though they all thought that Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army would take action at night, to be honest, they knew that it would be useless to ask Cao Cao or not.
In fact, both of them have already confirmed that this is the case. So it doesn’t make much sense to hear certain things from Cao Cao. So it’s better to talk about other things with that time. After all, there are still many things besides this, which need to be talked about carefully.
The three of them had almost finished chatting, so they all stood up and said goodbye, and each returned to the camp.
"Two, let's say goodbye!"
Sun Ce smiled, "See you tomorrow!"
Liu Bei also said to Cao Cao: "See you tomorrow!"
-----------------------------------------------------
But Cao Cao thought to himself when he heard this, hehe, see you tomorrow? We will meet again tonight, hahaha! Hahaha!
If Cao Cao had such confidence, Sun Ce and Liu Bei didn't think so, but Cao Cao really believed in his own Yanzhou army. One night, he believed that attacking Xiling at night would definitely lead to the city being destroyed.
At night, when it was almost time for Hai, Cao Cao was already anxious about his subordinates. He was preparing to gather generals to attack Xiling at night. Whether he could defeat Sun Ce and Liu Bei was here. Whether he could occupy Xiling City depends on the battle tonight, so it was impossible for him not to pay attention to it.
It also concerns himself, his subordinates, including all the soldiers in Yanzhou, so it is impossible for Cao Cao not to pay attention to it. It can be said that he attached great importance to it, and his attention was second only to his previous retreat.
When everyone arrived, Cao Cao said to everyone: "Everyone, whether we can take down Xiling? In the end, our army will take over Xiling depends on the battle tonight!"
-----------------------------------------------------
To be honest, there is no need for Cao Cao to say this, everyone understands it.
So at this time they said in unison: "I will live up to the lord's expectations!"
Chapter completed!
