After listening to Lin Yi's analysis, Cao Cao calmed down.
His originally furious expression gradually froze.
Cao Cao was a smart person, and he was extremely smart. After Lin Yi pointed it out, he understood something.
However, he was just short of a window paper to pierce through him.
Seeing that the time had come, Lin Yi continued with the second question.
"Ding…candidates, please listen to the questions."
What was the reason for Cao Cao's defeat in the Battle of Red Cliff?
1. Jiang Gan was deceived by Zhou Yu and brought back a fake letter. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were framed and Cao Cao killed them. Cao Cao's army lost its navy general and lacked experience.
2. Zhou Yu sent Huang Gai to pretend to surrender to Cao Cao and set fire to Cao Cao's warship.
3. Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from the straw boat to replenish the arrows of the Sun Liu Alliance.
4. Pang Tong suggested to Cao Cao that the battleships should be chained together, causing the fire to burn. The battleships could not escape and could only be burned together.
Note: Multiple choices are allowed for this question.
The words appeared in the answer space again.
Cao Cao looked at these words. He had already believed them, so he began to read the questions seriously.
The Battle of Red Cliff was probably referring to the battle between him and Sun Liu's alliance.
Then, what was the reason for his defeat?
Cao Cao really wanted to find out why he had lost, so he looked at the options seriously.
The first option was that Jiang Gan was tricked by Zhou Yu and brought back a fake letter to lure him into killing Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, causing the Cao army to lose their navy general and suffer a great defeat due to their lack of experience.
When he saw the first option, Cao Cao's expression turned cold.
"Is this a counter-plot?" Cao Cao was shocked.
He had never thought that he would encounter such a change in the middle of the battle.
Zhou Yu deliberately used a counter-plot to create a rift between him and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, causing him to kill them in the end?
Cao Cao thought about it and understood.
The accuracy of this matter was about 80%, because he did not trust Cai Mao and Zhang Yun very much. Moreover, he also knew that he had a suspicious personality. Under Zhou Yu's counter-plot, it was very likely that he had killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun!
Currently, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were the Jing State Navy, the only two generals in his 800,000 strong army.
If these two died, then the Cao army, who had no understanding of naval warfare, would indeed be easily defeated.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao broke out in a cold sweat."This Zhou Yu actually used such a vicious trick!"
Cao Cao didn't reject the first option and kept it.
Next was the second option.
Cao Cao looked at the second option and was shocked once again!
Zhou Yu sent Huang Gai to feign surrender? Eventually, it caused the Cao army's warship to be burned?
Huang Gai had always been his favorite general. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a talent. If Huang Gai really surrendered to him, he would probably be very happy.
However, he would never have thought that Huang Gai had actually faked his surrender, causing Huang Gai to set fire to the Cao army's warship.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao broke out in cold sweat.
This answer was most likely correct.
No wonder the 800,000 strong army couldn't break through the 100,000 strong alliance army. It turned out that these schemes were too vicious.
Even the current him felt that it was a little difficult to win.
Next was the third option.
"Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from a straw boat?" Cao Cao muttered.
Although the Sun Liu Alliance had fewer arrows, even if they borrowed many arrows, it was not the most important reason for this battle.
Because Cao Cao saw in the second option that Huang Gai had pretended to surrender, causing the Cao warships to be set on fire.
Since fire was used, the arrows would not be of much use.
Therefore, the straw boat borrowing arrows shouldn't be the main reason!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao rejected the third option.
Next was the fourth option.
"Pang Tong wants me to connect all Cao Cao's warships with iron chains?”When Cao Cao read out these words, his face changed completely!
When he saw the last answer, he seemed to have a sudden realization. All the mysteries were solved at this moment!
His face was filled with disbelief. At the same time, he was filled with deep fear.
It turned out that this was a series of schemes. First, they used a counter-plot to let him kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, causing him to be ignorant of water conservancy.
After that, Pang Tong came to offer his advice and told him to use iron chains to connect the warships. Without Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's reminder, he had no idea what dangers there would be in connecting the warships.
Finally, he would feign surrender and let Huang Gai feign his surrender to set the ship on fire.
Because of Pang Tong's plan, all the Cao Cao ships were tied together. If one of the ships was burned, would the other ships be lucky?
No wonder, no wonder this battle was called the Battle of Red Cliff!
No wonder it was called burning the camp.
This was going to burn Cao Cao's entire background to the ground.
What a chain of schemes. He really didn't expect the Sun Liu Alliance to be so meticulous.
At this moment, Cao Cao was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. He realized how meticulous this series of plans was and why he had lost.
This defeat was not an injustice.
Fortunately, the tragedy had not happened yet, and he had learned about these things in advance.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. He felt his body relax and said,""I choose the first, second, and fourth answers.”
This was a multiple choice question, and Cao Cao chose three answers.
These three answers were naturally the correct answers.
"Ding…Congratulations to the candidate for answering correctly. The reward has been given.”
When Cao Cao heard the system notification, his heart skipped a beat.
So that was the correct answer.
Cao Cao asked himself if he could escape from Sun Liu's scheme.
It would probably be very difficult to escape.
Fortunately, he knew about it in advance. This was a great blessing.
While rejoicing, Cao Cao quickly looked at Lin Yi and cupped his hands,""Sir, I understand why our army was defeated.”
"It's good that you understand." Lin Yi smiled.”
As long as he understood, he would not make any mistakes.
"Thank you for informing me in advance, sir. If it weren't for you, I would have…" Cao Cao said gratefully.
At this point, Cao Cao almost gritted his teeth in hatred.
The Sun Liu Alliance actually used such despicable methods. When he returned, he would definitely destroy them one by one!
When Huang Gai came, he would make sure he never returned!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt much better and a smile appeared on his face.
"Next is the third question. Listen carefully.”Lin Yixiao smiled and reminded Cao Cao.
Cao Cao nodded, his tone filled with admiration towards Lin Yi.""Sir, please set the questions."
The third question soon appeared.
Since he knew that the 800,000-strong army would be defeated, how could he turn the tables and conquer Jiangdong and unify the world?
