Chapter 729: The Battle of Linxiang City Continues (End)
If someone who really understands or is familiar with Cao Ren, he will definitely know what he looks like at this moment, and Guo Huai is just that. After all, he and Cao Ren are indeed quite familiar with him, and he really knows him better. After all, he has been under Cao Ren for so long, so with Guo Huai's ability, if he doesn't understand Cao Ren, it's not him anymore. So Guo Huai knew in his heart that his general was indeed quite proud at this time.
However, Cao Ren was still, he was just proud and happy, but he didn't look at Sun Ce and the others, so he naturally wouldn't provoke them. After all, in his opinion, even if he showed up now, even if he didn't show off, could he and Sun Bofu and others still not see it? So Cao Ren thought that what is awesome and low-key is! That is the most awesome show off, right? So Cao Ren did not show off to Sun Ce and the others. In his opinion, Sun Ce naturally had already seen it.
So whether he shows off or not is actually in front of him. If he is too high-profile, it will obviously make people think that he is a villain. Even if Sun Bofu doesn't think so, it is difficult to guarantee that his subordinates will not have such ideas, right?
-----------------------------------------------------
Sun Ce didn't think about what Cao Ren was thinking. After seeing Cao Zhen as the first to reach the city, he was indeed a little surprised. But obviously, this was definitely not because Cao Zhen was the first to arrive in Linxiang. This is indeed impossible. Sun Ce was also because of Cao Zhen's speed. At first he thought about it. Could it be that Cao Zhen, Cao Zidan, the Yanzhou Army, really became so strong? But after thinking about it again, Sun Ce understood that it was obvious that this matter was actually "can be encountered but not found", so...
Not long after the city was at the head of Linxiang, not long after Cao Zhen stepped onto Linxiang, he directly forced the Liangzhou army at the head of the city to retreat. Speaking of which, this was as expected by Sun Ce, and it was not beyond Cao Ren's expectations. So Cao Ren was quite disappointed afterwards, and this was true. After all, he really hoped that Cao Zhen was not just fighting for his own face. It was so simple to show his face. If he persisted at the head of the city for a while, he would be more relieved. But in the end, it was not beyond his expectations.
In response to this, Cao Renxin said that fortunately, he had not shown up to Sun Ce and Jiang Dongjun before. Otherwise, if this was the case, he would definitely not show up today, but rather embarrassing himself. He would embarrass himself and embarrass his lord.
-----------------------------------------------------
But obviously, although Cao Zhen was forced to retreat, it was as expected by Cao Ren, and he did not show off anything to Sun Ce and the others. Therefore, although Cao Ren was disappointed, he also felt a little proud in his heart. It was considered a make-up.
So even though Cao Zhen was forced to retreat, Cao Ren was disappointed. But his mood was not that bad. After all, everything was in his own control, and there was no big deal. Although Cao Ren did not have the high-level realm of "not being happy with things and not being sad with himself", how to say it, this was definitely good. Even if he had a little pride, a little joy, or even wanted to show off, it was actually fleeting, and it was really not wrong. Afterwards, Cao Ren did indeed.
It is almost the same as the state of being neither sad nor happy. At least at this moment, he is no longer what he had just done. The speed of Cao Ren's transformation can be said to be really good, but this is quite good. At this time, Sun Yi had already killed the city, and he could be said to be happy and became Sun Ce and Jiangdong Army. Speaking of which, they all knew that in fact, Zhang Liao had to be more skilled in siege. But how to say that, Huang Zhong was really his strong enemy in the current situation.
It’s not OK to admit it. It’s true that Zhang Liao is powerful, and he even surpasses Sun Yi, but his opponent is Huang Zhong, so now...
-----------------------------------------------------
In fact, it was not beyond everyone's expectations. If Sun Yi was facing Huang Zhong, he would definitely not be able to get up at this time, but Zhang Liao would come up first. That's it. So Zhang Liao is like this, and everyone in the Jiangdong Army knows that it is definitely not that he is not capable, but that is because Huang Zhong is too strong, that's just that. As for Sun Yi, obviously his opponent is not capable, and he is indeed good at it, so he naturally went up early in the end, and Zhang Liao was still fighting fiercely with Huang Zhong at this time.
Sun Yi thought to himself, he was not stronger than that Cao Zhen? He was forced back by the enemy after less than five rounds. But he was more than him on the top of the city than him! Sun Yi thought that he was better than Cao Zhen. Before, he didn't look at the other party coming up first and the speed was very fast, but compared to the time he was persisting on the ground, Cao Zhen was not enough to see him! This is what Sun Yi thought at this moment. Indeed, he was still afraid of comparison. If he didn't have any questions, then there was nothing.
To be compared, it is true that Sun Yi must leave Cao Zhen far away. Needless to say, this is the fact that everyone saw it. Sun Yi is indeed better than Cao Zhen. Even if Cao Zhen himself would not admit it, he thought so in his heart.
-----------------------------------------------------
The result was not unexpected to everyone. Although Sun Yi had lasted longer than Cao Zhen, this was right, but he was forced to retreat like Cao Zhen in the end. It was impossible to say that he would not be forced to retreat. The soldiers of Liangzhou Army fought desperately against Sun Yi and the little pitiful Jiangdong Army that came up, so they were indeed no match for the Liangzhou Army. The siege, at least in these battlefields, is said to be a protracted war. That is a little good. It has been more than a month in every place, but
It's the result. Isn't it not satisfactory? At Sili Hangu Pass, the Yanzhou army led by Cao Cao is not bad now. At least the balance of victory has begun to tilt towards them. Even if the troops guarding Hangu Pass are true, they will definitely be lost over time. Of course, Linxiang City is actually like this now. However, there is indeed a big difference here and Hangu Pass. After all, Cao Cao and Yanzhou army are there at Hangu Pass. This is obviously not the case in Linxiang.
That was when the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army joined forces. Although Sun Ce brought troops a few days ago, although this was beneficial, that was, the strength of the coalition forces had increased sharply. But the bad things also came out, that was, Cao Ren was unhappy because of Sun Ce.
-----------------------------------------------------
After all, Sun Ce is the lord of Jiangdong, and his status was not equal, and the other party directly brought in 50,000 troops. Although it was true that the strength of the two armies was increased, it was the same, which broke the previous balance, so Cao Ren was already unhappy.
Indeed, in the previous situation, although it was true that Lu Su led the troops of Jiangdong Army, Cao Ren was not afraid of him, nor was it afraid of Jiangdong Army. And if we really counted it, the strength of Jiangdong Army in Linxiang may not be as good as our own side, and the Yanzhou Army in our own side has the advantage. So even if Cao Ren knew that Lu Su was the best in the world, the Jiangdong Army was the best in the world, but because of the strength of the two sides in Linxiang, he was confident that he could get a piece of cake in Linxiang. It is true that Lu Su was a first-class strategist, but
He is not a vegetarian. So Cao Ren thought so at that time, so even though he often had to ask Lu Su a few words to see the other party's opinion, he knew that he was taking the initiative and that he was the one who spoke. And he also knew that Lu Su knew better about the status of their Jiangdong Army, so he could definitely understand that after the Linxiang ended up seizing, their Jiangdong Army would not take much advantage of them. This impossible benefit was
It's theirs, is this possible? But because of Sun Ce's arrival, he brought 50,000 troops to Linxiang, and the status of Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army suddenly fell. Cao Ren had no idea at all, that's really, too fake and impossible.
-----------------------------------------------------
But no matter how impossible it is, Cao Ren is not happy, but he still accepts the final fact. Because Cao Ren also knew in his heart that whether he accepted it or not, the final result would be the same. And now the fact is in front of him. Unless his lord brings more people to Linxiang, he can finally get a advantage in front of him, Sun Bofu. Otherwise, just by himself, just by his own people, he is really not Sun Ce's opponent, Zhou Yu, Lu Su,...
Even though Cao Ren didn't want to admit it, he had to think so in his heart. Now he didn't even have a decent strategist, that is, Guo Huai was a little smart, but he was just a little smart. That's all. Cao Zhen was better than an average general, but he was not even as good as Zhang Liao, that was, he could be better than Sun Yi. After all, Sun Yi was not very good. Of course, what Cao Ren thought was not very good is not anything else, but in strategy and in mind.
As for military affairs, especially in leading troops to fight, he obviously saw that Sun Yi was not bad. Maybe he was not as good as Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, but he definitely surpassed Cao Zhen. He didn't doubt anything about this, Cao Zhen was indeed not as good as others.
-----------------------------------------------------
At this time, Niu Jin and Zhang Liao were defeated by Huang Zhong, Niu Jin took the opportunity to come. He took the opportunity to come to the scene when Mi Fang was distracted. After all, Mi Fang did not always focus on his attention. He was not that way. At least just now, he was stunned for a while, but Niu Jin took the opportunity to come to the scene. After all, Niu Jin is not a waste, and he led troops to attack the city is a person who is even more powerful than Cao Zhen. Whether it is his martial arts or his land combat level.
Cao Zhen was still climbing on the cloud ladder at this time, and Sun Yi was the same. Zhang Liao was just repelled from the cloud ladder by Huang Zhong. Now, at this moment, only Niu Jin has come up. Unfortunately, he didn't catch up with the good times. This time, because Zhang Liao had not climbed the cloud ladder, Huang Zhong immediately made a free move, and Niu Jin could only admit that he was unlucky. When he saw Huang Zhong running towards him, he had the idea of jumping down directly. From this, it can be seen how long has Huang Zhong been the nightmare of Niu Jin?
It’s not that Niu Jin was afraid of him, but Huang Zhong was too strong. If Huang Zhong was not that strong, then Niu Jin wouldn’t think so. After all, facing such an opponent, he was not what he liked. How many people are like like Huo Jun?
-----------------------------------------------------
Niu Jin gritted his teeth this time and took Huang Zhong's move. Not to mention that he barely blocked the ring-headed sword. But even so, he took two steps back. Even though Huang Zhong was not young, his strength was indeed greater than himself and his martial arts was higher than himself! At this time, he thought to himself. But Niu Jin's courage to face Huang Zhong directly made Cao Ren, who was watching the battle in the back, nodded secretly. He thought to himself that a strong enemy, it doesn't matter if you meet it, after all, you cannot always meet an opponent weaker than you.
If that is true, wouldn’t life be boring? But if you don’t even have the courage to fight in the face of a strong enemy, then you might as well not go out to fight. The first one is you can be afraid, cringe, or even run and retreat. But when you face the same opponent again, do you really wish you were still like that? As long as you have the courage to face it, you have made progress. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
