In this battle, Cao's army suffered an almost devastating blow.

The main force of the Cao army marched from Jiangling was scattered. Except for Cai Mao's troops who ran away before the war, all other troops suffered heavy casualties. All the warships under their jurisdiction were either burned by the enemy or burned by their own people. They also traveled hard in Wulin and finally fled back to Jiangling.

After running away, Cao's army was hungry and tired. Most of the Northern Army had to force their support to return to the north, otherwise they would have dispersed when they were raided by Liu Bei's army.

Since going south, Fu Xun and Chen Qun have surrendered to Liu Bei one after another, and this battle has lost Xun You, Xu Chu, Zhang Yun, and Cao Cao's last defeat was dated back to when he was raided by Zhang Xiu. At that time, he was able to concentrate his troops and quickly come to avenge him. But when will this defeat be fought back?

Jiangling was watching, and the army before Chang Diao finally knew to turn around and respond. When Cao Ren saw Chang Diao, he hugged his head and cried bitterly. The Cao army couldn't help but cry loudly. Only Cao Cao was still lying in the car and covering his face with a piece of plain silk.

Listening to the crying in his ears, he felt both upset and desolate.

"Prime Minister." Cheng Yu reported carefully: "Zi Lian sent someone to report the news that Liu Bei's daughter was gone!"

"oh."

"Prime Minister, Cai Mao brought a lot of military resources and fled back to Xiangyang."

"Um."

"Prime Minister, there are many major epidemics in Boran's army. This time... it will be difficult for our army to advance eastward again."

Cao Cao slowly stood up and pulled off the plain silk covering his face. Only then did Cheng Yu see that the wrinkles on Cao Cao's face had crawled all over his forehead. Although the wound on his mouth was scabbed, it was still slowly oozing blood, which was extremely terrifying.

"Boran is such a wonderful person." Cao Cao murmured.

Zhao Yan should have known that the epidemic has occurred for a long time, and his seven armies have almost lost their combat effectiveness, so he firmly refused to send troops and even refused to go into the water, so as not to see the flaws by Sun and Liu and become the target of priority breakthrough.

He violated Cao Cao's orders, and although he preserved the power of his subordinates and also saved the Cao army's retreat, he seriously affected his relationship with Le Jin and Xu Huang. In addition, Cai Mao had fled to Xiangyang, Cao's situation in Jingzhou was even more dangerous.

He must think of a solution quickly.

"Zhongde, can I supervise the military affairs of Jingzhou with Wen Qian...?"

Cheng Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"Wen Qian is just afraid of being embarrassed."

Although the Cao army still controls most of the land in Jingzhou, they no longer have the strength or energy to stop Sun and Liu from advancing later.

Cai Mao and his subordinates fled to Xiangyang's nest. Le Jin may not be able to fight this person. If there are any mistakes in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"The failure of this battle has nothing to do with Degui. He is still the governor of Jingzhou and the general of Zhennan, and ordered him to go south to attack Sun Liu and Jiang Gong.

Zixiao was stationed in Jiangling, Wenqian was stationed in Xiangyang, Boning was stationed in Dangyang, and Tanzhi was stationed in Tanzhi!"

Cao Cao said firmly:

"Tanzhi must be alive! Let Wenqian quickly find out his whereabouts, join him as the general of the thief, let him occupy Jiangxia, and never let Sun Liu cross the river!"

He clenched his fists and squeaked, and said with regret:

"Gou will definitely come back, Gu must come back to take revenge! Liu Bei, Zhou Lang, Guan Ping, Gu will kill you so that you will not be left with a piece of armor!"

When Guan Ping woke up, he found himself lying in a generous military tent.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Liu Dun's surprise voice immediately came from beside him:

"Wake up, wake up, the young general, wake up! Hurry up, let me know with all the generals."

Guan Ping opened his eyes with great effort and felt unspeakable pain and fatigue.

Apart from the pain, Guan Ping still couldn't believe the fact that he actually let Cao Cao go.

"How long have I slept, and what have happened to the others?" Guan Ping asked quickly.

Lu Yi's sigh came from beside him. The Jiangdong Ru general helped Guan flatten the bedding and pillow, and said softly: "You slept for two days and two nights. Liu Jun, Guan Gong and Zhang Gong were always here for accommodating him, but he left this morning in an emergency.

General Huang, Wen Chang and several children who followed you to attack Cao Zhe were safe and sound. Now they can eat and sleep, which is much better than you."

As he said that, he said enviously: "Brother Yu really admires you. The war was in chaos that day, and you dared to take such a few people to attack Cao's thief and assassinate him. If Envoy Liu had not arrived in time, you would have really lost your life.

However, Cao Zhe was also scared and would never dare to underestimate us in the future."

Guan Ping murmured: "So, Cao Zhe ran away?"

"Yes, I ran away!" Lu Yi said excitedly, "In this battle, you led the fire ship first, captured Zhang Yun, Xun You, and killed Xu Chu in the formation. The Cao thief navy was wiped out. Now Jiangling is alone, our opportunity is here."

He patted Guan Ping on the shoulder with a sincere look:

"Tanzhi, Brother Yu really regrets not raiding Cao Thief with you these days. Even if he is not good at martial arts, he will die in the chaos. It is worth it to be able to do such a good deed. Uh, what's wrong with you?"

Although Lu Yi's words were definitely sincere from the bottom of his heart, Guan Ping quickly became weak.

In history, I was a hero who killed Cao Cao in Huarong Road. Now I have let Cao Cao go for nothing, missing a great achievement, and I don’t know how many more people will be sacrificed. This makes him completely devoid of the joy of victory and as if his body has been hollowed out.

Lu Yi thought that Guan Ping was seriously injured and was not in good spirits, so he was not inconvenient to disturb him. He placed fresh meat and pickled vegetables in front of Guan Ping's bed and asked someone to take care of him carefully. Then he left.

Lu Yi let Guan Ping go, but it doesn’t mean that others have let him go too.

When he heard that Guan Ping woke up, Xu Shenghuan broke in happily with the wine jar and insisted on drinking with Guan Ping. Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other Wu generals who had a few encounters with Guan Ping also broke in, praising Guan Ping's heroic spirit. Wu army general Jiang Qin also came to visit Guan Ping on behalf of Sun Quan. He gave him rare fresh fruits and vegetables, and kept praising Guan Ping's heroic good at fighting, and his words were quite appealing.

Guan Ping finally coaxed them away, and the door of the tent opened again. This time, Liu Bei, Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Lu Su and others also visited each other. The small tent was immediately filled with heads.

"Aping, don't get up." Liu Bei quickly walked over to stop Guan Ping from getting up. He sat in front of Guan Ping's couch. Liu Dun quickly dodged like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding in the corner and shivering.

Liu Bei did not notice Liu Dun's abnormality. He gently lifted a corner of the brocade quilt and checked Guan Ping's injuries. Seeing that Guan Ping's wound showed no sign of festering, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The last general is incompetent, so I will make my lord and my uncles laugh." Guan Ping said weakly.

He looked up with guilt, and saw that everyone behind Liu Bei, including his father Guan Yu, smiled proudly, and this was a little less cramped.

"If you are incompetent, aren't we all like pigs and dogs?" Liu Bei also looked proud. He looked at Guan Ping's weak appearance and felt a little more ashamed on his face.

"Aping, it's because my uncle is incompetent.

I have been defeated by Cao Cao many times in my life. When this time the fire broke out, I only hoped to drive the thieves away and destroy all the navy.

I heard that you dared to go deep into the army to chase Cao Cao, and I realized that I quickly took Zilong to the road. Unfortunately, I was still one step slower to let Cao Cao escape, otherwise... or...

Liu Bei actually took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself - you should know that after the war it was time to seize credit and share the benefits. He said this in front of the chief general of the Wu army to offset some of his contributions in future negotiations. However, Liu Bei still confessed his mistakes in military use, which moved Guan Ping.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also looked ashamed.

Although they were brave, they had basically started high and closed low since the battle with Cao Cao. After a little victory, they were beaten away immediately as long as Cao Cao arrived in person.

Although Cao Cao defeated the Cao army this time, Cao Cao still had time to prevent fire and burn his own warships, which shows that their military appearance was quite strict.

At that time, Liu Bei and Zhou Yu had no intention of pursuing Cao Cao. The navy of Cao's army was not good, but no one doubted the combat power of their infantry and cavalry.

It was not until he repelled Cao Cao that Liu Bei realized that the Northern Army had been attacked by the plague god and had mostly lost its combat power. He regretted and felt deeply disappointed Guan Ping's efforts.

"Brother, stop talking, it's me wrong." Zhang Fei rarely started self-examination. "I am so proud of myself, but I only care about fighting and didn't see where my brother went. If I go, I will definitely take Cao Cao's head."

Guan Yu also sighed a few heavy sounds.

He has always been strict with his son, but the father and son are in love. Seeing his son's scars as carved as swords, Guan Yu could not feel at ease. Especially when the battle that night, his son led his men to raid the Cao army, but he leisurely drove away the Jingzhou navy in Cao's army on the edge of the battlefield.

If I were...If I were...

Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked at each other, not knowing what Liu Beijun and others were doing.

In this battle, the Sun and Liu coalition forces attacked with absolute disadvantages, giving full play to the right time, place, and people to the extreme, and then defeating the strong with the weak and shattering Cao Cao's army.

In terms of the results of the battle, it was already a shocking victory for them to wipe out the Cao army's naval army. Guan Ping's raid captured Zhang Yun, Xun You, and killed the powerful general Xu Chu. It was a shocking victory no matter how you look at it.

Why do these people get defeated?

Zhou Yu couldn't stand it, so he had to cough in a low voice and said warmly:

"Little Guan Gong's victory over China this time is shocking. We are tolerant. Yu comes here to celebrate..."

"My son is seriously injured and needs rest. If the governor has anything to say, please say something another day." Guan Yu was in a bad mood and finally seized the opportunity to criticize Zhou Yu. He even pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife around his waist, which made Zhou Yu's face suddenly cold.

"Father, the child is fine." Guan Ping reluctantly sat up and said with a wry smile, "It was the child who was incompetent that allowed Cao Cao to escape. If the governor of Zhou still had state affairs, he would naturally put major matters first."

Zhou Yu didn't expect that Guan Ping Yijie's martial wife would be so enlightened, so he nodded in approvingly.

"This time, the Cao bandits were defeated, and the navy was gone, so they could only retreat in a hurry to Jiangling. This was a great opportunity for us to counterattack and recover Jingzhou.

I wanted to lead the army to attack Yiling with Xingba and surround the Jiangling Cao army. However, there were more than 10,000 Cao army in Jiangling, and there were still strong cities to defend. Xiao Guan Gong attacked Jiangling several times, and he knew the truth and reality.
