Chapter 1597 Cao Cao has a headache

The Central Army of the Eastern Wu was pressed down, and the number of troops siege increased greatly. Liu Jun, as the defensive side, became under great pressure.

"Tube oil! Mu Mu! Use it all for me! Archers, what are you doing? Have you seen the group of infantry carrying the bumps of wood? Shoot them for me!" Song Xian kept wandering, shouting with a dry mouth.

The siege is extremely tragic! No matter which side, as long as you can't persist, it means failure.

The Liu army in Jianye City worked the most. Although there were troops to replenish them, these unhealed Liu soldiers could not help much.

The number of soldiers from the Eastern Wu was too large, like a tide, attacking one after another.

By now, Song Xian has repelled two waves of attacks, but then he ushered in the third wave of attacks from Eastern Wu.

The Liu army soldiers who were defending the city were already desperate and would never want to be attacked by Eastern Wu into Jianye City.

Sun Ce kept watching the battle situation and became nervous.

Jianye City has not been taken down for a long time. If it is dragged down, once Liu Jun’s reinforcements arrive, Jianye City will not be taken down.

You should know that Jianye City has already lit up wolf smoke, even on the other side of the Yangtze River, it can be seen.

Thinking from the perspective of others, if Sun Ce was the general of Liu's army, he would definitely send reinforcements to support him when he saw a wolf smoke ignited in Jianye City. In this regard, it was not what Sun Ce was most worried about. What Sun Ce was most worried about was that Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others did not fall into the trap, but instead found the wolf smoke and returned. Then Sun Ce would face a fierce battle.

"Prevent problems before they happen! If you can't take over Jianye City, you must be prepared." Sun Ce began to feel a little worried and thought about preventing things.

"He Qi!" Sun Ce shouted to a general not far away.

He Qi heard the call and immediately rode a war horse to Sun Ce and said respectfully: "What are the instructions for lord?"

Sun Ce touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "You will immediately lead two thousand soldiers and horses to investigate in the direction of Jurong. If you find the traces of Lu Bu and others, report them immediately!"

Before, Sun Ce sent a lot of scouts in the rear, but now he feels it is still unsafe. More people are allowed to avoid being caught off guard by Liu Jun.

"Yes!" He Qi bowed and then led two thousand soldiers to the rear.

If Lu Bu was just a general leading Liu Jun, Sun Ce would not have to be so careful. However, Liu Jun had three generals in his troops. He could fight Sun Ce alone with any general, and he would still win safely. It would be strange if Sun Ce could be at peace in his heart.

All Sun Ce thoughts were true.

The smoke from Jianye City has long been discovered by Liu Jun on the other side of the Yangtze River. However, due to the lack of warships, Liu Jun couldn't help but want to support him.

Liu Jun reported the current situation layer by layer and finally delivered it to Cao Cao.

After learning that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had woken up, Cao Cao adopted a strategy of planning and then acting.

However, Sun Ce's actions were too fast, and various unfavorable reports of Liu Jun's battle with Eastern Wu were constantly sent to Cao Cao. Cao Cao had to come out of Shouchun.

Cao Cao couldn't sit still!

Shouchun is still a logistics base, and Cao Cao brought 50,000 troops this time. Cao Cao did not dare to guarantee whether Sun Ce would come to attack Shouchun again, so he left a lot of troops in Shouchun as an emergency need.

When Jianye's information was delivered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao stood up and said in surprise: "So that's it! Sun Ce is so smart!"

Cao Cao made such a shocking voice because he combined all the information. Cao Cao also knew the information about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei entering Jianye City. What Cao Cao hated the most was the general who acted privately. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not act according to his orders and rashly crossed the Yangtze River, which simply ignored Cao Cao's military power. But now that things have come to this point, Cao Cao had to wait for the future if he wanted to set off.

Cao Cao could not understand Sun Ce's plan before, but the wolf smoke in Jianye City made Cao Cao understand Sun Ce's intention.

Not only Cao Cao understood, but even Xun Yu, who was following Cao Cao, had an epiphany.

"Lord! Sun Ce wants to take down Jianye City, with his various arrangements, he wants to strangle all the troops of Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang who attacked the Eastern Wu! What a big appetite!" Xun Yu's face was not very good.

It has been smooth sailing before, but Sun Ce and Zhou Yu immediately designed such a big plan as soon as they woke up. Cao Cao's face was a little unfair.

Because if Cao Cao had adopted a comprehensive crossing of the river and devoted all his troops to the territory of Eastern Wu, then this would not be the case now. However, Cao Cao took into account the issue of Liu's crossing of the river and would face the problem of disagreement in the land and water. The previous situation of Lu Bu's troops in Jianye City's large-scale unacceptable areas also confirmed Cao Cao's concerns.

Cao Cao strode to the edge of the map, squinted his eyes, and looked at the entire situation in a gloomy manner.

Xun Yu followed Cao Cao obediently.

"Sun Ce made a desperate bet and used all the troops of Eastern Wu, with the purpose of strangling our army's troops in Eastern Wu. Most of our navy is around Chaisang City and cannot support the downstream!" Cao Cao wanted to support Jianye, and what was placed in front of him was whether there were warships transporting the troops over.

The Liu army's naval forces were all in Chaisang. In order to curb Liu's naval forces, the main force of the Eastern Wu naval forces had been hovering in Poyang Lake. Once the Liu army's naval forces were in motion, the Eastern Wu immediately came out to intercept them. This happened frequently in previous battles. The Eastern Wu defended this point tightly, which led to the weak force of the Liu army's naval forces in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The only part of the navy was transported to Jianye City by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The naval warships seized by Ganning were also taken by Cao Cao to use for a strange plan. Now, Cao Cao has no more troop transport ships, and can only watch the situation in Jianye City cannot be supported. With only a large army, he can only stand on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Cao Cao's anger is burning!

But Cao Cao himself has to bear a lot of responsibility. It was not Cao Cao who had such a courage to take risks. If Cao Cao scolded Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and asked them to strictly guard the Wujiang River. In that case, how could Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have the courage to cross the Yangtze River?

"Lord, for the sake of the present, I can only use a small boat to transport troops across the river." Xun Yu proposed a solution that was not a solution.

A small boat can transport about ten soldiers at most. If you rescue Jianye, you must have at least 10,000 troops. In short, you need to use a thousand small boats. Not to mention that when war is now, even in peacetime, the entire Yangtze River does not know if there are so many small boats.
