Everyone was stunned by Xu Chu's words.
He stood there and kept nodding. It was obvious that he agreed with what everyone said.
It seemed like what they said made sense.
Our army is ten times stronger than the enemy, and the enemy is still Liu Bei's army that has been defeated like stray dogs for decades.
How could he lose?
However, he recalled Pang Shiyuan's words.
Xu Chu shook his head violently.
"No, we can't win this battle!”
"This area is covered in dense forests. With just a fire, it will be a destructive blow.”
Fire?
As soon as he said this.
Everyone present frowned.
Indeed.
The dense forest gave people the first reaction of a fire attack.
If it was really as Xu Chu said…
Even if you have thousands of troops, I only need to set this forest on fire. Even if it's a heavenly army, they will all be wiped out.
Thinking of this…
"It's raining heavily outside," Cao Cao said loudly,"It has been raining for many days. How can we use fire?" This is absolutely impossible!"
When Xu Chu heard this, he felt a little smug for some reason.
Look, my lord and I have the same thoughts.
I also think that it's impossible to use fire to attack.
Eh, that's not right. Then how did I trust Sir?
It was strange.
Xu Chu's eyes were filled with confusion.
At this moment, Xun You smiled and said,"
"Zhongkang, you don't know that it has been raining heavily for several days in Xuchang.”
"Although the withered grass is everywhere, it's soaked in the heavy rain. I'm afraid the fire won't be able to ignite.”
Xun You smiled as he finished speaking. The worries in everyone's hearts instantly dissipated.
Just like Xun You said.
The heavy rain continued for several days.
How could they use fire attacks in this state?
I'm afraid that even if you exhaust all your effort, you will only be able to burn an inch of land before extinguishing.
It wasn't as if they hadn't considered this problem when they were planning their strategy.
However, the continuous downpour made them automatically ignore this problem.
Xu Chu recovered from his daze and immediately became anxious.
Sir had said it.
This rain must stop!
He did not know when it started.
Xu Chu's trust in Pang Shiyuan had reached a blind point.
"When the two sides fight, the rain will definitely stop!”
Xu Chu repeated what Sir had said to him.
Of course, no one believed these words.
The heavens did not belong to him.
It couldn't be stopped just because you said so, right?
However, Xu Chu reminded him.
Everyone was on high alert.
It was just as Xu Chu had said.
If the rain really stopped and the other party set fire to it, the outcome would be unimaginable.
Xun You frowned and said,"
"If that's the case, General Yuan Rang has been in battle for many years and is very experienced. His ability to adapt to circumstances…"
Before he finished speaking.
A soldier drenched in blood barged in from outside the door.
"Urgent battle report from the front line!"
After handing the battle report to Xu Chu, the soldier fainted.
Clearly, this person had rushed back with 800 Li.
There was definitely no rest along the way.
This tragic scene was like a plague that instantly spread throughout the hall.
Xu Chu had a bad feeling.
He passed the battle report to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao frowned and dismissed the dancers in the hall.
Then, he opened the battle report in his hand and couldn't wait to read it.
Everyone's eyes were on Cao Cao.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely oppressive. No one dared to breathe too loudly.
After a long time.
Cao Cao threw the battle report on the table and returned to his seat.
Then, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up the food in front of her.
Everyone was puzzled.
However, when they saw Cao Cao's expressionless face, they knew that things were not good.
As expected.
Cao Cao's hands began to tremble.
Then, he let out a furious roar and overturned the table in front of him.
"Liu Xuande! Liu Xuande, what a great guy!"
The sudden outburst surprised everyone.
They couldn't remember how many years it had been.
Cao Cao had lost his composure in front of them.
In the past, no matter how big a setback he encountered, he would not have much of a reaction.
What was going on now?
Liu Xuande?
Could it be?
The civil and military officials looked at Xu Chu in surprise again.
Xu Chu was a little confused.
His simple brain prevented him from realizing what these people were looking at him for.
Among the civil officials, Xun Yu, as the head of the civil officials, cupped his fists and asked,"
"My lord, what happened?”
He asked the question that those who could not guess what had happened wanted to ask.
After Cao Cao vented his anger, he took a deep breath to calm himself down and sat back down.
Then, he slowly said,
"As Zhongkang said, Yuan Rang was defeated! The 100,000-strong army will be reduced to ashes!"
Hiss!
Hiss!
A series of gasps sounded from the hall.
Even those who had already guessed what had happened gasped.
How could he lose?
This was the first thought that came to everyone's mind.
This thought was not rootless duckweed, but it was reasonable.
After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, his strength increased greatly.
He had hundreds of thousands of troops under him, and they were all elites.
What did Liu Bei have?
From the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was basically no battle record to show.
On the surface, it was a page of red defeat.
Relying on Jingzhou Liu Biao's support, they finally gathered more than ten thousand people.
How could they defeat the Cao army just like that?
Fire attack?
This was the second thought that rose in everyone's mind.
Was it really as Xu Chu said, that the rain would stop when the two sides fought?
According to the current information, there was nothing wrong with what Xu Chu said.
Everyone looked at Xu Chu in shock.
If this matter was said by any of the civil officials.
Then, they probably wouldn't be so surprised.
However, these words came from a guy with muscles in his head.
This was a little unbelievable and illogical.
He felt all kinds of gazes from everyone.
Even Xu Chu felt a little uncomfortable.
……
For Cao Cao to be able to accomplish this, his mental quality must have passed the test.
The defeat this time had come too suddenly, which was why he had lost his composure in a moment of anger.
After a while, he came back to his senses.
Since he had already lost, there was no point in being angry.
A true lord could afford to lose. Even if he failed, he could stand up again!
Obviously, Cao Cao was such a person.
After putting aside this thought, he began to look at Xu Chu with interest.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, but Zhongkang is actually familiar with astronomy!”
