Chapter 963

Zhang Yu controlled the Poyang Lake area and the world was shaking.

Cao Cao was helpless and angry.

Undoubtedly, he was also cheated by Zhang Yu.

When Cao Cao attacked Poyang Lake area in Jiangdong, he summoned several of his staff.

"Zhang Yu is a brilliant player. He has made a lot of great achievements in Youzhou and attracted everyone's attention, but he has won the Poyang Lake area in Jiangdong by thunderous means."

Cao Cao sighed and said: "we have no time to react with sun CE. Zhang Yu is too smart. He would rather pay a big price, but also pursue speed."

Zhang Yu fought hard with the enemy. No matter how much he lost, he lost a lot of money. He occupied the territory first so that you didn't have time to react.

Cao Cao put all his strength into the north and prepared to fight Zhang Yu in Jizhou.

Zhang Yu did come and fought a tough battle with them. The loss was not small.

But Zhang Yu's goals have also been achieved.

When several counsellors arrived, they all felt that Zhang Yu was too clever.

"Lu'an City and Shouchun city can no longer fall into Zhang Yu's hands. This is the place where our three sides check and balance. These two cities are in sun CE's hands, which can help us block the danger of the next side." Said Cao Cao.

Guo Jia has sent troops to Ma Wei to force Liu'an city, which is also in danger.

Cheng Yu said: "Lord, although sun CE lost hundreds of thousands of troops and huanggai died in the war, Lu'an City is solid and there is absolutely no problem in a short time. Sun CE has enough reaction time, so we should not intervene too deeply."

If he intervenes too deeply, he is afraid that Zhang Yu will suddenly launch an attack in the north, and then he will be in a dilemma.

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "maybe Zhang Yu just wants to restrain us in the south, maybe he will do things in the north."

In this way, Cao Cao is extremely difficult to make decisions.

If they don't know Zhang Yu's intention, their decision-making is very low-level. Among other things, Zhang Yu's sudden attack on Poyang Lake is the proof.

At this time, Xun Yu said: "Lord, we can attack the middle of Zhang Yu and try to cut off the connection between the north and the south. At least let him have more consideration and dare not attack easily."

Xun Yu's strategy was immediately adopted by Cao Cao, who sent more than 100000 troops to attack Xuzhou.

To attack Xuzhou, Cao Cao did not ask to occupy much territory, but only occupied some places and cut off the North-South ties.

Cao Cao sent more than 100000 troops to attack Xuzhou, and the whole East was in chaos.

When the three princes in the East were fighting fiercely, sun CE quickly mobilized a large army to support the East.

On the contrary, no one paid attention to the yuan family and secretly developed their strength there.

Zhang Yu was in Jizhou. Five days after the war, Zhang Yu called several generals and said, "it's impossible to achieve more results in this war. There's no chance for the north. Let's withdraw. The army is out for one day. It's too expensive."

The generals have no opinion. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Yu lost a lot in this battle. He gained hundreds of thousands of people in more than two counties. However, the army lost tens of thousands of people and did not occupy an inch of land.

But Zhang Yu's view is different from theirs. They have a large population under their rule. It doesn't matter, because many refugees can't be arranged. Who will go to other places to rob the common people.

There are no refugees under Zhang Yu's rule. The common people are the strength. If there are more common people, there will be more strength.

When Zhang Yu withdrew his troops, Cao Cao withdrew his troops and did not dare to fight with Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu's army retreated to Bohai Prefecture.

In Bohai Prefecture, Zhang Yu asked several Jun troops to rest here, supplement here and train here.

Here became their base, the general directly arranged in the front, so Youzhou is more secure.

As for Jiangdong, Guo Jia surrounded Lu'an City and began to attack it to help the north.

However, this time, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and asked Zhang Yu to withdraw.

Sun CE hastily mobilized the army to support him, and he did not dare to lose the two cities here.

Zhao Yun ambushed their vanguard on the way, killed more than 10000 troops, and then withdrew safely.

Sun CE was furious when he knew about it. At this time, he was in a bad mood.

His important territory was robbed by Zhang Yu, and his soldiers were also damaged. Huang Gai's death, in particular, dealt a great blow to the sun CE group.

Huang Gai is an old minister who follows Sun Jian. He has high ability. But now he died in battle, how can they not be sad.

When sun CE's army came to support, Guo Jia retreated. There was no need to fight without a chance.

The three princes stopped fighting again, and the whole of China seemed to be quiet.

Sun CE sent a large army, but not a lot, just over 100000.

Poyang Lake has been lost, and he dare not send a large army to come here. If Cai Mao attacks the back road, it will not be worth the loss.

Sun CE came fiercely, and Guo Jia retreated to defend the city. Sun CE's army was insufficient and had no attack ability, so they could only defend.

Sun CE lost his temper in Shouchun city.

"Bofu, it's already like this. It's irreparable. We'd better go back to Changsha as soon as possible. Someone must take charge of the overall situation." Zhou Yu advised.

Sun CE was in a bad mood. As soon as he was advised by Zhou Yu, he slowly calmed down.

"Jingzhou must be solved, otherwise we will only be attacked on both sides. What can Gongjin do?"

Sun CE concluded that they would be attacked because of the threat of Jingzhou, otherwise they could have more troops in the Poyang Lake area, and he and Zhou Yu would have at least one person in the area.

If not, they may not be lost.

If this is still the case in the future, they will still face the situation of being attacked on both sides.

After some analysis, if sun CE wants to solve this problem, he has to solve Jingzhou.

Today's Jingzhou is dominated by Cai Mao. Cai Mao controls more and more places, and his strength is also increasing.

Now Cai Mao is still training the army. He has recruited more than 300000 troops. With the water army, most of the troops in Jingzhou are under his control.

After a moment's silence, Zhou Yu said, "if you don't get rid of CAI Mao, Jingzhou will be the only city in the world. When he continues to expand, I'm afraid he will begin to expand."

If Cai Mao expanded, it would be a disaster for sun CE.

"It's a pity that Liu Biao is also a mortal enemy to us. With the death of my father, there is absolutely no possibility of mutual trust between us." Sun CE said.

If you want to get rid of CAI Mao, only Liu Biao is possible in Jingzhou.

"Liu Bei has been very active recently." Zhou Yu said.

Sun CE shook his head, then said: "Liu Bei has hundreds of soldiers and horses in his hands, plus two generals, what can he do?"

Although Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou for a long time and has won over a group of people, so what? The whole Jingzhou has no voice.

"If he takes Liu Biao's power, it can be used." Zhou Yu said.

Sun CE was puzzled. Could Liu Bei have this ability?

"It's up to people, Bofu. We have to operate it. If we can't, it will arouse the contradiction between Liu Biao and Cai Mao." Zhou Yu said.
