Chapter 411 Flash of Sun Ce
In the end, Chen Dao still led the white soldiers to catch up. What if he really caught up? After all, everyone in Li Yan’s troops was injured, and few were uninjured. Fortunately, if we can catch up, it will also reduce some of the pressure on the next battle.
However, Chen Dao still underestimated Li Yan's will, insisting on holding on to his legion talent until he entered the army formation. It is no wonder that Li Yan was able to defeat Li Yan with just the strength he had just broken through. In a short period of time, he was able to compete with Chen Dao and Cheng Yu without falling behind. With this kind of will, it is not surprising that Li Yan, Chen Dao, and Cheng Yu are like this.
Yang Ji found a place to camp on the south bank of the Yangtze River opposite Zhou Yu's camp. There was a wide plain area between the two army camps, which was where the next battlefield was.
Cheng Yu took off his blood-stained armor, put on regular clothes, and returned to his loyal Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao was following Yang Ji to help Yang Ji and command the soldiers to set up camp. This The scene seems a bit abstract.
However, for the person involved, Cao Cao, whether this scene is abstract or not is someone else's business. What he cares about is whether he can fulfill Yang Ji's requirements. It took him and Yang Ji a long time to get this job from Yang Ji. Yes, if you do this well, you will have more powerful proof when you go to Liu Bei in the future.
What Cao Cao did was to be overbearing, but now even if Cao Cao is overbearing, he can only live under Liu Bei's kingly way. Everything can only be under the rules re-established by Chen Xi, Liu Bei and Yang Ji. Act, this is the price the loser should bear.
After arriving at Cao Cao, Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao with a rather strange look. He really did not misjudge Cao Cao. Even if Cao Cao was driven by others at this time, he could not hide his unscrupulous side. How else could Cao Cao get the task of commanding the army to set up camp from Yang Ji?
Suddenly, Cheng Yu felt that Cao Cao was not unable to seek common ground while reserving differences, but now Cao Cao was not the one seeking common ground, but the one whose differences were put aside by others.
Or you can turn it upside down. After all, letting Cao Cao seek the similarities between himself and Liu Bei, and then tolerate the differences between Liu Bei and himself is also an explanation, isn't it?
Cheng Yu shook his head and threw away the strange thoughts in his mind. This was the lord he recognized, so he couldn't arrange it like this. But if you think about it like this occasionally, it seems quite exciting. Why don't you find a few people to expand your ideas together in the future? ——Such an idea suddenly flashed through Cheng Yu’s smart mind, and it quickly took root and could not be eradicated.
"Zhongde, are you injured?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu strangely, who had been wandering around in the world since he arrived here. For some reason, after Cheng Yu came to his side, Cao Cao felt that someone was orchestrating him behind his back. The suspicious Cao Cao looked around for no one, and finally set his target on Cheng Yu.
After all, Yang Ji had no interest in arranging him behind his back. Even if he wanted to do it, Yang Ji would do it in front of him. Chen Qun was discussing something with Yang Ji at the moment, so he probably couldn't spare the time to arrange it for him. What's more, Chen Qun is a gentleman. How could he arrange it for others behind their backs? He had to do it in front of others no matter what. .
After counting, it seems that Cheng Yu is the only one left in front of him. After all, at his level, it seems that only people of the same level can do this by scheming behind his back.
And after Cheng Yu came to Cao Cao, Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao with a strange look. It was difficult not to make Cao Cao suspicious, otherwise his title of suspicious little prince would not have been in vain.
It's not that Cheng Yu has any bad thoughts towards him. After all, among so many civil servants and generals, Cheng Yu can be said to be in the same league as him. Xi Zhicai is a fellow, and he can do bad things together with Cheng Yu. People are still very different.
As for the other people, Cao Cao is somewhat difficult to evaluate. It is hard to say why they gathered under his command and were driven by him. But after thinking about it, apart from the benefits, there seemed to be nothing worthy of those people investing in him.
The situation on Liu Bei's side is fundamentally different from the situation here. The senior officials who united around Liu Bei basically gathered around Liu Bei because of their ideals, or Liu Bei's initial A group of team members basically gathered around Liu Bei because of their ideals.
Although ideals will turn into benefits in the end, after all, ideals will also change with the changes in the surrounding environment and human beings themselves, until the ideals become nothingness. Although interests will undergo countless changes, they cannot escape the word interest after all.
“How could Li Yan’s weak sword skills hurt my hardened body!” Cheng Yu raised his hand to hammer his chest, which didn’t seem to be very prominent, and raised his hand to beat his chest and sleeves. As he was scrolling up, Cao Cao saw the strong muscles on Cheng Yu's arms.
The muffled sound of Cheng Yu's fist hitting his chest made Cao Cao's mouth twitch. Although he had known that Cheng Yu was a muscular monster for a long time, he still felt very divided every time he saw it. What was the end of Cheng Yu, a wise man who had awakened his spiritual talent? For what reason did you think of training your body to this level?
"Huh? Oh, well, you're fine." Cao Cao said perfunctorily after coming back to his senses. He began to doubt whether taking the internal airway was the right thing to do.
Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao with a guilty conscience. Looking at Cao Cao's current behavior, could he have sensed his orchestration behind his back? After all, Cao Cao has awakened the talent of the monarch. In addition to those skills, there will always be some mysterious magic.
"Hey, Brother Zhongde is back. How did you feel about this battle with Li Yan?" Yang Ji, who had finished talking to Chen Qun, came over and asked Cheng Yu.
"Except for the final arrow blow, Li Zhengfang's physical fitness and internal energy are at normal levels." Cheng Yu curled his lips. He thought that Li Zhengfang was at the critical point of both internal energy and mental strength. Yan Hui was so powerful, but in the end he couldn't even compare to Li Tiao.
Obviously, Cheng Yu didn't know what was special about Li Tiao, otherwise he wouldn't have compared Li Tiao with Li Yan. Maybe Cheng Yu couldn't beat Li Tiao even if he broke through.
"Being able to reach the critical point of mental power means that he has spent a lot of energy on it." Yang Ji said with a smile, everyone has the same time, Li Yan spent his time In terms of mental strength, martial arts consumes less energy.
"If Li Zhengfang could have made the right decision earlier, his strength would not be so balanced until now." Cao Cao commented so sharply on Li Yan, balance in many cases only means one thing The thing is, there is no outstanding point.
"Then, how long do you have to wait, Boss Cao, before you can make the right decision?" Yang Ji looked at Cao Cao. This guy asked him for the task of building a camp, but ended up chatting with people here. Come on, isn't this dereliction of duty?
"Huh?" Cao Cao was a little confused at first. What choice did Yang Ji want him to make?
"..." Cao Cao suddenly realized what Yang Ji was talking about, and subconsciously said to Yang Ji: "I can make a decision now." After saying that, he left here directly. It was so miserable. The boss found out. ...
In the daze, Zhou Yu heard a harsh voice saying to himself: [Gong Jin, Jiangdong has fallen, even Shouchun has been captured by us, and even Sun Bofu We have already captured them all, do you really want to continue to resist? 】
Hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly opened his eyes, then jumped up from the bed, and then heard a voice that was engraved into his soul: "Gongjin, you finally woke up~" It can be heard, This voice was very excited, even a little crying.
In confusion, Zhou Yu felt someone holding his hand. He didn't know why. He should have pushed the guy holding him away, but he didn't have that idea. Instead, it was natural. He held the man's hand with his backhand.
"Bo Fu?" Zhou Yu realized who this person was and called out a name in an extremely hoarse voice. Zhou Yu, who finally focused his eyes, saw Sun Ce with slightly red eyes.
"Gong Jin, it's me." Although Zhou Yu's voice was very low, Sun Ce still heard Zhou Yu's call and immediately gave his own response.
"..." Looking at Sun Ce, Zhou Yu moved his mouth to speak, but nothing came out, as if something was blocking his throat.
At the same time, Zhou Yu also felt bursts of tingling pain coming from his spiritual sea. This was caused by the injection of new spiritual power into the spiritual sea after the spiritual power was exhausted. It seemed that he could not use his spiritual power for a while. , otherwise it will really cause irreparable damage to his spiritual sea.
Zhou Yu really wanted to tell Sun Ce to give him a bowl of water to moisten his throat, but unfortunately, he couldn't say a word at all now, while Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu with his mouth open but could not speak. He was so anxious there that he never thought that Zhou Yu wanted to drink water. It seemed that the tacit understanding between him and Zhou Yu was in vain.
"Lord, this is the water that the governor wants." Fortunately, there is a military doctor in Zhou Yu's camp who can hear what Zhou Yu is going to say, otherwise Zhou Yu would have to drag his painful head to find water. Drink.
"Ah?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on with Zhou Yu. He quickly took the bowl handed over by the military doctor and put the bowl to Zhou Yu's mouth, as if he wanted to forcefully force it into Zhou Yu's mouth.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yu didn’t want to be so strong-armed by Sun Ce, so he reached out and grabbed the bowl from Sun Ce’s hand, then raised his head and drank all the water in the bowl. He took the kettle handed over by the military doctor and faced it. The mouth of the pot started blowing, and he drank all the water in the kettle with a few blows. Sun Ce was left staring at Zhou Yu who raised his head to blow the pot.
"Huh - I'm finally alive." Zhou Yu took a long breath. Although his voice was still hoarse, he was finally able to speak.
“How many days has it been since I was unconscious?” Zhou Yu didn’t pay attention to Sun Ce who was right in front of him. Instead, he turned to the military doctor and asked him why Sun Ce appeared here. He no longer wanted to ask. That's all. The bond between him and Sun Ce cannot be blocked by space.
"Reporting to the Governor, it has been three days since you excessively consumed your mental energy." The military doctor replied respectfully, ignoring Sun Ce's glare at him. The military doctor finally understood what those people were talking about about the Lord. What did Gongsun Ce's expression mean at that time? It's a shame that the governor could persist in not making a move against his lord until now.
"It's been three days..." Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, handed the kettle to the military doctor, and motioned for him to fetch another kettle of water. I don't know why he is still very thirsty now.
"How is the situation over there at Gongyi?" Zhou Yu did not immediately ask Sun Ce about the situation of the army. Instead, he took the lead in asking about the Jiangxia Navy. With Li Tong and others here, he must still be able to Those who blocked Yang Ji's attack, even Yang Ji, had to take a rest after forcibly crossing the river before continuing to attack Zhou Yu's army.
After all, this place in the south of the Yangtze River is separated from Yang Ji's camp, but across the Yangtze River. Moreover, Yang Ji brought all 60,000 troops across the river, which required a lot of food and grass. When crossing the river, did Yang Ji's army really bring enough food and grass? Zhou Yu was very suspicious of this.
However, the navy side is very worrying. Jiang Qin is not Gan Ning’s opponent. The Jiangxia navy may not be afraid of the Qingzhou fleet with the foundation accumulated over the past century, but the commander-in-chief between the two armies pulls The distance between them is widened. The little background of Jiangxia Navy cannot fill the gap between the commanders.
"Alas." Sun Ce sighed and said: "Gong Yi was seriously injured by Gan Ning. If the bodyguards around him hadn't saved him desperately, he probably wouldn't have come back this time. Jiangxia navy is three points Two of the warships were sunk, and the remaining warships were also damaged to varying degrees. The Jiangxia navy was seriously disabled. "
"Where are the sailors?" Zhou Yu was silent for a long time and asked in his still hoarse voice. Two-thirds of the battleships were sunk, and it was not known how many of the sailors on board could survive.
"Some of them were captured by the Qingzhou fleet, some were picked up by our people, and some swam back by themselves. The remaining part..." Sun Ce did not say what the situation was. , but Zhou Yu already understood what was going on.
The military doctor quietly walked out of Zhou Yu's camp. It was not suitable for him to stay here anymore, and since Zhou Yu had woken up, as long as he stopped using his mental power for a while, there would basically be no problem.
After a long time, Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and pressed his temples, sighed deeply, cheered up and continued to ask Sun Ce: "How is the situation outside now?" With Jiang Xia After the navy's precedent, what Zhou Yu feared most was that the army would also suffer heavy losses.
"Although the army's losses are a bit heavy, the basic combat effectiveness can still be guaranteed." Sun Ce shook his head and said, but what he did not tell Zhou Yu was that if he did not arrive in time, the battle would probably be Yang Ji has already finished his work.
