This result made Cao Hong furious and the morale of his soldiers plummeted. Finally, under Zhou Yu's persuasion, they retreated back to the camp without fighting with Liu Xin.

After coming back, Zhou Yu frowned, while Cao Hong roared beside him. Today's results were so frustrating that he was filled with anger. He had nowhere to vent his anger but roared in the camp.

After he roared for a long time and vented his anger, he saw Zhou Yu frowning and couldn't help but ask,"But what's the problem?"

Zhou Yu said,"This is more difficult than imagined. Princess Ninghe should not be underestimated if she has these generals. It will not be easy for our people to defeat them."

When Zhou Yu said this, Cao Hong's face became more gloomy and uglier. His lieutenants were lost one after another today. Several of them, these are the backbone of his army. Today, they can't even defeat the gang of brats in Liu Xin's army. If a few of Liu Zhe's generals come here, it will be a waste.

Cao Hong asked,"Then, Commander-in-Chief, do you have any way to defeat them?"

Zhou Yu said,"We can only outwit them, but we cannot defeat them. We also have fewer people than they do. If we fight head-on, the situation will be unfavorable to us."."

Cao Hong nodded and asked,"Can you think of any clever plan to destroy them?"

Zhou Yu said,"It's not that simple. We have to look again."

Then at night they received news that there was a rebellion in Yan's army. The fire was attacked by a sneak attack. Cao Hong hurriedly came out to take a look, and sure enough he saw flames shooting into the sky in the distance in the direction of the Yan Army camp, illuminating the dark night sky.

Cao Hong was in high spirits. He asked his men to prepare troops and horses, ready to follow him out and take advantage of the opportunity to clean up the Yan army, but Zhou Yu came to stop him.

Zhou Yu said to Cao Hong,"

There must be a fraud in this. Don't be impulsive." Cao Hong said,"What's the fraud? Didn't you see the fire was so big? The people in Pengcheng must have seen us coming and came out to fight with us." We should work together inside and outside to deal with them, we can't delay here, we have to rush to support them."

Zhou Yu said,"How could things be such a coincidence? We just came out to face the Yan army today, and then the Yan army was attacked by a sneak attack at night? The people in Pengcheng have long known that we are coming. Why didn't they come out to attack us a few days ago instead of waiting until today?"

Zhou Yu said that it was the enemy's conspiracy. Cao Hong asked,"What if you are wrong in your judgment? What should we do with the people? If this is the case, our people will have sacrificed in vain. They will definitely not be the opponents of the Yan army. Even if they steal and catch the Yan army by surprise, once the Yan army reacts , How can they withstand the Yan army's counterattack?"

There are not many defenders in Pengcheng, and there are certainly not many people who can come out for a sneak attack.

Zhou Yu said,"I am sure that this is a conspiracy of the Yan army. They have set up an ambush and are waiting for General Cao to lead people to rescue. Once you go, you will definitely fall into their ambush.""

"What if you make a mistake?"

Zhou Yu said,"Then the governor will bear this responsibility."

"But, damn it."

Zhou Yu said so confidently that Cao Hong gritted his teeth and finally decided to believe Zhou Yu, but when he looked at the burning fire in the sky, he felt uncomfortable.

One night passed quickly in the eyes of others, but In Cao Hong's opinion, it was very painful.

After finally making it to daytime, the fire gradually extinguished, and Cao Hong quickly sent someone to inquire.

However, the news that came back from the inquiry made Cao Hong frightened. The matter was really as Zhou Yu guessed. , all this was a conspiracy directed and acted by Yan Jun.

The fire was set off by Yan Jun, and the shouts of killing were deliberately made by Yan Jun. Everything was done to deceive him.

After knowing that it was Yan Jun's conspiracy, Cao Hong felt that Fortunately, it was lucky that Zhang Zhou Yu stopped him, and that he chose to believe Zhou Yu. Otherwise, he would definitely have fallen into the enemy's conspiracy and fell into an ambush. He didn't have many people under his command. If he had fallen into an ambush, he would have lost more. With less manpower, it would be even more difficult to reinforce Pengcheng.

So Cao Hong approached Zhou Yu and said,"The Commander-in-Chief is wise. Fortunately, I listened to your words, otherwise I would have been fooled."
