Chapter 126: Jiangdong of the Counteroffensive
Jiang Dong's envoy came at this time, which really surprised everyone's expectations, but Cao Cao was slightly stunned.
"Please come in!" Although Cao Cao didn't know what Jiangdong was here for, he still had the bearing and etiquette he should have.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a thin body but excellent spirit and extraordinary bearing walked in.
"Jiangdong Kan Ze, I've seen King Wei!" Kan Ze is a native Confucian in Jiangdong, although the identity of this great Confucian cannot be recognized by the Central Plains, but his knowledge and character are still very profound.
In addition, Kan Ze, as known as the Yang Xiong of Gaishu and the Kan Ze of Zhongshu today, is also one of Sun Quan's henchmen, and travels all over the world as a messenger all year round.
"What are you doing here? Could it be that Huang Gai was beaten again? When Cao Cao, the king of Wei, saw Kan Ze, he couldn't help but sneer, remembering some not-so-good memories.
When he was in Chibi, it was this guy who came to him with Huang Gai's blood book, and in a flicker, he opened the camp to welcome Huang Gai, who was full of things that caused fire.
Although Huang Gai was shot into the Yangtze River by his own love, Zhang Liao was shot into the Yangtze River with an arrow, and he almost avenged himself, but this Kan Ze is still alive and well, and I heard that he is getting more and more important to Sun Quan.
Kan Ze also knew that King Wei didn't have a good impression of him, so he couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, "King Wei said that he was joking, General Huang had already been shrouded in horse leather and died on the battlefield, so why should King Wei make his jokes again." β
"Humph!" Cao Cao also knew that he had just lost his temper, and when he got old, Cao Cao found that he was slowly becoming a little willful, which was also a big reason why he slowly put down all his power, as Cao Cao, he could be willful, as the king of Wei, he could not be willful.
"Derun is here, what's the matter?"
Remember to read a book for a second https://mm
"Back to the King of Wei, my lord Sun Quan sent a certain family here, mainly to join forces with the King of Wei to fight against Liu Bei in Yizhou!"
"Hahaha!" This sentence made everyone in the side hall burst into laughter, and Jiang Ji stood up directly and said angrily at Kan Ze, "You thief, you are really cunning enough!" β
Kan Ze was not annoyed, and said to Jiang Ji, "I don't know what Mr. Zitong has to say?" β
"Who in the world doesn't know that you Jiangdong is Liu Bei's ally, and Chibi was ..... back then. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, you and Liu Bei were in cahoots to block our heavenly army in Chibi, but at this time, they came here and pretended to say something to unite us and fight against Liu Bei, don't you feel ashamed! β
Kan Ze was knocked down by Jiang Ji's mouth, but his face did not change at all, but he said lightly, "Jingzhou was in the hands of King Wei at that time, and now Jingzhou is in charge of Guan Yu!" β
Kan Ze was completely embarrassed at this time, Jingxiang nine counties, Jingbei is Jiangxia, Nanjun, Nanyang, Nanxiang, Zhangling five counties, and Jingnan Changsha, Guiyang, Lingling, Wuling four counties.
Now Guan Yu has only one Nanjun and one Lingling in his hands, and the remaining three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Wuling have been snatched back by Sun Quan, and the four in Jingbei except for Nanjun are in the hands of the Cao family, Kan Ze has become Guan Yu occupying Jingzhou in a word, if Guan Yu knows, he may discuss with him, why can people be so shameless.
Although Jiang Ji also knew that Kan Ze had just lost his face, he could still know what Kan Ze meant, it was you who were more dangerous now, not Jiangdong, after all, Guan Yu's army was approaching the front line of Xiangfan, and if Fancheng was broken, then the matter would be too big.
"Even if Guan Yu is in charge, so what!" Jiang Ji snorted coldly, "Don't you dare to send troops to Hefei?" If we really get to that point, all we have lost is a Jingzhou, Runan and other places can still be in action step by step, and Yongliang in Guanzhong may not be fine, but you Jiangdong will be dangerous! β
Jiang Ji's meaning is also very clear, you Jiangdong threaten us with Guan Yu, then Guan Yu is not a threat to your Jiangdong, a single navy will make Cao Jun miserable, if they get on the boat and enter the Yangtze River, then it will be Jiangdong who is uncomfortable.
"Mr. Zitong laughed, the navy is not so easy to practice, it was the Cai family back then, and it was not my Jiangdong's opponent, let alone Guan Yu?" Kan Ze looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about Guan Yu's threat at all, "But my lord Sun Quan is worried about Your Majesty's safety, and the villain is here, hoping to discuss with King Wei and do his best for Your Majesty's safety!" β
Speaking of which, Kan Ze can be said to have overwhelmed his identity very low, but at this time, these people in the side hall did not think about letting Kan Ze go easily, as if they had forgotten that they were still thinking about sending someone to Jiangdong to unite Sun Quan just now.
After Kan Ze finished saying those words, Sima Yi, who had planned to send an envoy to Jiangdong, stood up, smiled at Kan Ze, and bowed, "I have seen Mr. Kan Ze, Sima Yi is polite." β
Kan Ze also returned a salute to Sima Yi, "The name of Sima Bada is really like thunder, Kan Ze is polite." β
"Mr. Kan Ze just said that he wants to protect His Majesty, I don't know if it's sincere?" Sima Yi looked smiling, and he couldn't see the hideousness he faced Cheng Yu before, and he looked like a handsome son.
"Naturally, it's true, my lord Sun Quan is the Xuzhou Mu of the Han Dynasty, the general of the chariot and cavalry!" Kan Ze said loudly, "But it was Liu Bei, a chaotic minister and thief, who asked the court for his life, although my lord was appointed by the court, but he has always been deeply ashamed!" β
"Then I don't know what Kan Ze's intentions are?"
"It's not a matter of what a certain family is trying to do! That's my lord's willingness to marry King Wei! Kan Ze finally threw out the purpose of this trip at this time, "Before, Du Wei Xu Shen came to the Central Plains, hoping to rebuild the old friendship with the King of Wei and become in-laws with each other, although the King of Wei agreed and sent the envoy back, but the matter of this in-law has not been decided!" β
"Hehe, Sun Quan's appetite is not small." Sima Yi sneered, "The front foot made Lu Meng and Gan Ning the generals, not to mention sending troops to break through Anhui City, but also captured my Lujiang Taishou Zhu Guang, plundered the population of Huainan by tens of thousands, and was defeated by General Zhang Liao on the back foot, and actually wanted to reconcile, but it is really realistic!" β
"Anhui City is the throat of my Jiangdong, the sage once said, the side of the couch is not allowed to let others sleep, no matter what, Anhui City is the important place of my Jiangdong, must be obtained, this has nothing to do with others, it is a matter of life!"
"Then please ask your lord Sun Quan to return all the people of Anhui City to me?"
"The people of Huainan are afraid because of the strategy of the king of Wei to move north, so they voluntarily enter our Jiangdong, if they are forced to return, they may cause resentment, it will not be good for both sides!" Kan Ze replied lightly, "But my lord is willing to resume tribute to the imperial court in Jing and Yang from now on, and send the treasures of the two places to the imperial court to show Jiangdong's respect." β
Sima Yi was actually satisfied when he heard this, but when he saw King Wei who was silent on the main throne, his eyes shrank slightly, knowing that he was still not good enough.
"I just heard from Mr. Kan Ze that your lord Sun Quan is not very satisfied with his current position as the pastor of Xuzhou and the position of general of the chariot cavalry?" Sima Yi gritted his teeth slightly, wanting to get something out of Jiang Dong's mouth to satisfy his lord.
"What Mr. Sima said is exact!" Kan Ze smiled slightly, "Xuzhou is the place where Zang Ba, the generals under the command of King Wei, are stationed, how dare we watch!" β
At this time, Cao Cao, who had not spoken again, suddenly said, "Then what does Sun Quan want!" β
"King Qiqi, my lord is willing to return Lujiang Taishou Zhu Guang and others to the Central Plains, and only ask for the position of Jingzhou pastor!"
Jingzhou Mu, although Jingzhou is now divided by three families, but Jingzhou Mu has always been hanging with Liu Bei, in other words, in the official court, Guan Yu is the most authentic, even if he occupies the least place.
And then even if he canonizes another Hu Xiu as the assassin of Jingzhou, Liu Bei can not recognize it, this is the teacher is famous, and now Sun Quan wants the teacher to be famous!
"Jingzhou Mu?" Cao Cao sneered, "Sun Quan's appetite is very big!" Does he want to monopolize Jingzhou? β
"King Wei, forgive me, we will never dare to have such an idea!" Kan Ze said respectfully, "However, the three counties of Jingzhou are also in the hands of my lord Sun Quan, in order to prevent Liu Bei's family from asking for it in the future, I just want a justifiable one!" β
Although Kan Ze said so, as long as the people here are not stupid, they know what Sun Quan's idea is, but although they know, this is not something that their courtiers can accept.
Cao Cao, the king of Wei, looked at the respectful Kan Ze and sneered, "Jingzhou Mu, it's not impossible, but it depends on what step Sun Quan can do!" Don't forget, what Yun Chang is carrying at this time is just Jingzhou's naval army, and what Jiangling left behind is not something that Jiangdong can watch! β
Kan Ze did not help Sun Quan get the "Jingzhou Mu", but he was not disappointed in the slightest, but saluted Cao Cao and retired.
Until Kan Ze left, Cao Cao and the others didn't fully understand what Kan Ze was going to do today.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Kan Ze's intention just now?" Cao Cao looked at Kan Ze, who had really left, and really didn't understand that if the envoys of Pingsuri didn't spend ten days and half a month here, and didn't swear to achieve their goals, where would they be the same as today, I don't know how long they traveled to Xuchang, and they left after saying that they didn't have half a day.
Don't say Cao Cao, it's Jiang Ji and others, and now it's also in the clouds, just now Kan Ze said it here, and then everyone felt that they had said a lot, but they felt like they hadn't said anything....
"Back to King Wei, I'll wait.... Ignorance! Chen Qun could only look embarrassed at this time, and to be honest, he had no idea.
Cao Cao looked at the people who began to bow their heads and be silent again, waved his hand helplessly, and felt a headache in his head again.
"Let's all go down, all go down!"
"I'll retire!" The crowd bowed and withdrew from the side hall.
After everyone left, the last ones were Cheng Yu, who was old, and Jia Xu, who was not young at all but had better spirits than Cheng Yu.
"Zhongde, do you see that?" Jia Xu also walked slowly, following Cheng Yu's side, and whispered this in his mouth.
"See what?" Cheng Yu glanced at Jia Xu slightly, "Do you see that the family has been planning here for a long time, and then being tricked by the three families?" β
"It's not three, it's just two people!" Jia Xu also smiled, "But Jiangdong's action.... The old man was a little confused. β
"There's nothing I can't understand, it's just that Mei Zhoulang has a successor!" Cheng Yu raised his head and looked at the bright sky above his head, "Liu Bei is now in the middle of the day, Jiangdong also has a successor, and even the families in the Central Plains are full of talents, so..."
Cheng Yu's words didn't come out, but Jia Xu knew what it meant.
Although Cao Cao, the king of Wei, is now a genius, his heirs.... Intrigue is far better than strategy, and now King Wei is constantly suppressing those talented young juniors before he dies, for fear that after he dies, the prince Cao Pi will not be able to suppress them.
Not to mention anything else, Cao Chong should be the most valued descendant of King Wei back then, King Wei has said countless times that he saw what he looked like when he was young from Cao Chong's body, and even for him, he did not hesitate to find Zhou Budo, the first prodigy in Jingzhou, to accompany him.
It's a pity that Cao Chongfu was thin and died before he could grow up, and Cao Cao's personality has changed greatly since then.
The angry Cao Gong disappeared, and he became a man who was always afraid that after his death, his son would not be able to control the situation, and the most famous thing was to hand over power.
was afraid that Cao Pi would not be able to control the situation, so he took over the power early, but he was also afraid that Cao Pi would be ruthless and attack his brother, and repeatedly changed his appointment.
Cao Cao over the years, first beheaded Zhou Budo, Hanzhong sent troops to die slowly, Xiahou Yuan died, when he returned to the army, Luoyang had not yet arrived, Han Hao, his favorite back, also died, followed by reinforcements, changed Cao Pi's order, and changed the commander from Cao Zhi to Yu Ban.
As a result, Yu Ban and Pang De fell and died, which almost hurt Zhongyuan's vitality.
King Wei's thoughts, in fact, whether Cheng Yu or Jia Xu, they can understand, even understand, the Cao family and the Xiahou family are flourishing, among the juniors, Yan Linghou Cao Zhang's courage is extraordinary, and Cao Zhina, who has always been regarded as a great enemy by Cao Pishi, is even the best among the literati.
Several children of the Xiahou family are excellent, among which Xiahou Cheng and Xiahou Shang can be said to be the seedlings of famous generals, and Cao Xiu in the side line of the Cao family is also known as the Cao family's Qianli Horse.
In addition, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, also has the habit of accepting righteous sons, Cao Zhen and Qin Lang were both taught by the Cao family themselves, and their abilities are not weak at all.
In contrast, the sons of Guo Jia and Dian Wei were basically raised by Cao Cao.
"That's it!" Cheng Yu now feels a headache when he thinks about the current situation, "The old man is old, and he can't move anymore, so leave the world to those young people!" β
After finishing speaking, he stopped paying attention to Jia Xu beside him, stepped on his own ox cart, and went back.
"Hey, that's old!" Jia Xu also shook his head, and then walked in the direction of his home in the face of the slowly setting sunset.
On the pipeline outside Xudu, several war horses were galloping, among which Kan Ze, who had just been arguing with Cao Cao, the king of Wei, was among them.
"Quick!" Kan Ze whipped his war horse and asked his relatives around him, "How is General LΓΌ Meng's preparations?" β
A personal entourage heard Kan Ze's words and hurriedly ran forward, "Don't worry, Lord Lu Meng has already claimed that he is sick half a month ago, and the army is now temporarily in charge of Mr. Lu!" β
"Where is the army stationed now?"
"Wuling County and the edge of the Lingling Army have been on standby for a long time!"
"Good!" Kan Ze shouted hello, and then clamped the horse's belly again, "Hurry up, take advantage of the inseparability between the Central Plains and Guan Yu now, and return to Jiangdong as soon as possible, whether our army can rise in a battle depends on this time!" β
"Roar! Roar! Roar! β
A group of relatives from Jiangdong are also full of wildness at this time, full of yearning for the future, and even the speed is three points faster.
And just as Kan Ze was on the way back to Jiangdong, the order of Cao Cao, the king of Wei, also spread all over the Quartet, which was the simplest sentence, and did his best to stop Guan Yu!
And Guan Yu finally roared after chatting with Cao Ren, and the Jingzhou Navy launched a charge against Fancheng, and for a while, the war broke out, and Fancheng was in danger.
"General!" A general ran in front of Cao Ren, covered in blood, "General, I really can't stop it, the Jingzhou army under Guan Yu is dead, the warship rushed up directly, and the first attack on them rushed to the city wall, I and the brothers almost missed, the water is too big, I really can't bear it!" β
"If you can't stop it, you have to block it!" Cao Ren drew his long sword and glared at the general, "Unless all the people in Fancheng are dead, they must stop me here!"
After finishing speaking, Cao Ren personally rushed forward with his own soldiers, for many years, Cao Ren was firmly in the rear to command the army, and rarely rushed into battle in person, and today under the threat of Guan Yu, he finally picked up his sword again and rushed to the forefront.
In the other direction, Man Zhong stabbed his mount white horse to death with a sword, "Today's death battle, either I wait for Gu to die, or Guan Yu dies!" β
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
Guan Yu's Jingzhou army, riding a warship, rushed to the city wall again and again with swords and shields in hand, and the few remaining Fancheng guards under Cao Ren also fought with their lives to resist them, at this time it was no longer a war, this was an emotionless slaughterhouse, slaughtering the sergeants of the two armies.
Guan Yu looked up at the slowly darkening sky, and said to Zhou Cang, "When it's dark, Ming Jin will withdraw his troops!" β
"No!" Zhou Cang took the order and left, and at the same time brought Guan Yu the latest battle report.
"Jun Hou, just now the scout came to report, Jiangxia's Wenpin and Xu Huang on the border of Yuzhou are a little ready to move!"
"Very good..."Guan Yu nodded, "Have the dead soldiers who asked for help already been sent?" β
"Back to Junhou, the dead man has already set off, and he will probably be able to go to Jiang Xia and Xu Huang tonight!"
"Their families, be kind!"
"No!" Zhou Cang took the order and left, leaving Guan Yu alone to look at Fancheng, who was constantly fighting, thinking about what he was going to do next.
"Xuchang should have started at this time, the old man gave you such a good opportunity, Meng De, Sun Quan Xiao'er, you must not let the old man down!" Looking at the rolling Han River, Guan Yu muttered.
"Let Guan use this stigma in exchange for a future for you!"
