Fancheng, the prefect's mansion.
Even though the sun was already high up in the sky, Boss Cao was still sleeping soundly.
He didn't know what had happened last night.
He also didn't know that outside his residence, the strategists and battle generals were anxious like ants on a hot pan.
" Has the lord not woken up yet?!" Xun You couldn't hold it in any longer and insisted on rushing in.
Bang!
Two halberds blocked the way. The guard said,"The Prime Minister has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him!”
"Sir, please wait a little longer!"
"Cao Aman! Cao Aman!" Xun You couldn't help but shout loudly, calling Cao Cao's nickname.
However, he had barely shouted two sentences when the guards forcefully dragged him out.
"Sir, how is it?" Xiahou Yuan helped Xun You over and asked anxiously.
Xun You shook his head helplessly and pointed at the generals outside.""The world hasn't been pacified yet! Look at all of you getting carried away!”
"All night long, feasting for days! Have you forgotten how you survived all these years?!”
"If you're not careful, you'll die!”
"Yangzhou and Jiangdong have yet to be pacified. The Jinfan bandits have penetrated deep into Jingzhou, the Poyang Lake water stronghold has been burned, and the 3,000 navy has been annihilated! Jiangdong has declared war on us!"
"Is there only Sun Quan from River East in the world?!”
"There's also Liu Zhang of Ba Shu and Zhang Lu of Han Zhong!”
"There's also Shi Xie from Jiaozhou!"
"We haven't even recovered the Western Regions!"
After a round of passionate speech, the battle generals lowered their heads and no longer spoke.
Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe also lowered their heads, their faces flushed red from Xun You's words…
……
In the bedroom.
Perhaps it was because of Xun You's shout just now, Boss Cao turned over and seemed to be about to wake up.
"Zhongkang, Zhongkang, where is my Tiger Marquis…"
There were two ravings, but no one answered.
Shua!
Cao Aman opened his eyes abruptly. Where did Xu Chu go?
Where did Xu Zhongkang, his bodyguard who had been like this for ten years, go?
In the next moment, Cao Aman's pupils constricted.
The events from last night's banquet surfaced in his mind.
" The northern army has gone south. Jingzhou has been lost!"
" The lips are gone, the teeth are cold. Sun Quan of River East can see what Prime Minister Cao wants. They won't sit still and wait for death…"
"Jiang Xia! Not only did they control the Yangtze River, but they also had more than half of Jingzhou's rations and armaments!”
"Wenpin is good at fighting and defending. He can take on a great responsibility, but Jiangxia only has 10,000 soldiers!”
"A clever housewife can't cook without rice. Wenpin's lone army is guarding an important town. It's dangerous and dangerous…"
"The Jiangdong army is probably already on their way to Jiangxia!”
"My lord, even a lion needs to use all its strength to catch a rabbit!!”
Boom!
Boss Cao broke out in a cold sweat and felt like his head was about to explode…
"Drinking will cause trouble, drinking will cause trouble!"
Boss Cao was annoyed and hurriedly got out of bed."I was drunk last night. The matter that Zhongkang reported was so important, but I didn't take it to heart!”
"You're really drunk!"
"Zhongkang, where is Zhongkang?"
"Xu Chu!"
Boss Cao knew that he had missed the important military event, so he didn't bother to wash up. He called out as he walked out.
Bang!
The moment he pushed open the door, he saw many strategists and battle generals gathered outside the courtyard…
An ominous premonition welled up in his heart. Something must have happened in such a situation!
"Prime Minister!"
"My lord!"
"My lord is finally awake!"
When the ministers saw Cao Cao, they all rushed forward.
"Don't panic! Tell me what happened!" Boss Cao tried his best to suppress his panic.
Xun You stepped forward." My lord, Gan Ning of Jiangdong led the Jinfan bandits deep into Jingzhou. The Poyang Lake water stronghold was burned, and a large number of ships and timber were burned. The 3,000 navy troops were completely annihilated!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Boss Cao's heart skipped a beat.
The Poyang Lake water village was meticulously built by him, but it was burned to the ground before it could even take shape…
Boats, wood, and the entire water stronghold were burned.
And the Poyang Lake water stronghold that he had painstakingly nurtured, hoping to use to balance the Jing State Navy in the future, all three thousand navy troops were gone…
Gan Ning had led the Jinfan Bandits deep into Jing State and burned down the Poyang Lake water stronghold not far from Fan City?
This, this was really preposterous!
Why didn't they just attack Fan City and kill Cao Aman?!
"It's tolerable, but what can't be tolerated!"
"Jiang Dong brat, you've bullied me too much!!”
Rage burned in Cao Cao's chest.""My army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers is stationed for dozens of li! The army had not even set out from River East, and they actually dared to attack first. They really did not know what death was!!”
"My lord!" Jia Xu stepped forward." My lord, Jiang Dong attacked our Poyang Lake water stronghold first. Although there were losses, it did not damage our army's vitality!”
"Since we have already torn apart the alliance in River East, what we need to do now is to reorganize our military and mobilize our troops to prepare for the conquest of River East!”
Chen Qun also rushed forward.”
"Prime Minister, don't be so angry. This is your chance to flatten River East and unify China!”
Xiahou Yuan: " If Jiangdong is pacified, the world will be settled!”
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Cao Cao pondered for a moment before saying,""Jiang Dong scoundrel, so what if he attacked my Poyang Lake water stronghold?”
"Just in Jingzhou alone, I have 100,000 navy troops, 150,000 infantry troops, and more than 7,000 ships, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of northern troops!”
"Just Jiangxia City alone has enough rations for our army for a year!”
After Boss Cao measured the strength of both sides, he spoke confidently. The strategists and battle generals did not dare to nod.
In a game of chess, the one who placed a piece first was often at a disadvantage and had no choice but to strike first…
However, at this moment, a scout suddenly rushed in.
"Report!"
"Report!"
"Jiang Xia has been attacked!"
" Jiang Xia has been attacked!!"
"Eastern Capital's Governor Zhou Yu, attacked Jiang Xia City at night!”
Boss Cao, who had just calmed down, was once again shocked by this urgent report.
Recently, he had only been drinking and having fun, and he had never thought about…
Overnight, urgent reports came one after another!
"Did you manage to defend Jiangxia? How about General Wenpin?" Cao Cao hurriedly asked.
The scout was equally terrified, but he could only bite the bullet and report,""Reporting to the Prime Minister, last night, Governor Huang Zhong, Lu Meng, and the other Tiger Generals of Jiangdong led ten thousand elite soldiers and five hundred turreted ships to attack Jiangxia City.”
" Jiangxia's garrison was not strong enough to begin with. They were unable to guard against it in time and were directly attacked from the water gate…"
" The garrison in the city was almost completely annihilated. General Wen Pin, the Governor of Jiangxia, was severely injured and fainted. He has yet to wake up…"
Cao Aman felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Xiahou Yuan hurriedly went forward to support him. Cao Cao took a deep breath and continued,"Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, each of you lead 20,000 infantry and quickly take back Jiangxia City!”
"Jiangxia is an important town in the Yangtze River!"
"Jiang Xia City also has enough equipment, rations, and more than a thousand ships for hundreds of thousands of our troops to use for a year. We must not let them fall into the hands of Jiang Dong!”
Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were about to step forward to receive the order when the scout suddenly said, Prime Minister, I, I haven't finished reporting…Generals, you don't have to lead troops to Jiangxia…"
Everyone was shocked.
There was no need to go to Jiangxia. Could it be that Jiangxia City had been recovered?
"Tell me in detail!" Cao Aman said anxiously.
The scout said," Zhou Yu took away half of Jiangxia City's rations, weapons, and more than a thousand ships.”
" Another fire was set. River Summer City has already been burned to the ground…"
Boom!
When they heard this news, the strategists and battle generals all paled.
Jiangxia was an important town that could not be lost.
Among them, the massive reserves and the thousand ships were the most important!
However, all of them were gone now. The massive amount of grain and armaments were gone, and more than a thousand reserve ships were gone. Even Jiang Xia was burned to the ground.
Nothing.
There was nothing left.
Jiang Xia was burned!
All the money and food were plundered by Zhou Yu. All the Jing State Navy ships stationed in Jiangxia were plundered by Zhou Yu. Everything that could not be taken away was burned by Zhou Yu...
"River East rat!" Cao Cao roared, wishing he could bring millions of troops to the south and flatten Jiangdong!
In a moment of absent-mindedness, Boss Cao once again remembered Xu Chu's advice at the banquet last night.
" The lips are gone, the teeth are cold. Sun Quan of River East can see what Prime Minister Cao wants. They won't sit still and wait for death…"
"Jiang Xia! Not only did they control the Yangtze River, but they also had more than half of Jingzhou's rations and armaments!”
"Wenpin is good at fighting and defending. He can take on a great responsibility, but Jiangxia only has 10,000 soldiers!”
"A clever housewife can't cook without rice. Wenpin's lone army is guarding an important town. It's dangerous and dangerous…"
"The Jiangdong army is probably already on their way to Jiangxia!”
"My lord, even a lion needs to use all its strength to catch a rabbit!!”
……
Boss Cao slapped his forehead and complained endlessly. Only he knew the pain in his heart.
"Aiyaya!"
"It's really wine that makes one muddle-headed! He regretted listening to Zhongkang's words, regretted only drinking and getting carried away, and suffered such a disaster!”
"I shouldn't drink that wine!"
"Pity my Poyang Lake 3,000 soldiers, pity my Jiangxia 8,000 soldiers!”
Zhang Liao was also frightened. It was all because of drinking. Moreover, the person who took the lead to toast Boss Cao last night was none other than Zhang Wenyuan!
"Prime Minister, Zhang Liao is guilty! Please punish me!"
Immediately, a large group of generals stood up to plead for forgiveness.
Even Jia Xu walked out…
With all the generals bearing the blame together, Boss Cao would not lose too much face.
However, Cao Cao shook his head with a worried expression,""It was all You Gu's mistake that caused such a tragedy. It has nothing to do with the generals!”
"I regret it! I regret that I shouldn't only know how to drink wine, regret that I shouldn't stop listening to Zhongkang's words!!”
Boss Cao sat on the steps, complaining endlessly and feeling extremely vexed.
Jiang Dong's two punches really hurt Boss Cao!
Regret, regret!
Or regret? Endless regret filled Boss Cao's heart.
If he had listened to her last night, or if he had drunk less, this would not have happened!
Xu Chu's advice came true.
Suddenly Boss Cao was startled, he stood up and looked at the battle generals: "Where is Tiger Marquis?"
"Where did Xu Chu go? Why isn't he here?”
