Chapter 279: Wind and Cloud Will Swim in Shallow Water
Kuai Yue Mansion.
Since Cao Cao attacked Fancheng, Kuai Yue ordered his eldest son Kuai Ming to close the door of the mansion and only open the side door to let the subordinates in and out.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun sent people to ask for a plan several times, but Kuai Yue never opened the door.
Until now, Cao Cao entered the city and personally came to Kuaiyue Mansion. Kuai Yue opened the middle door and greeted Cao Cao in front of the door with his sons.
"Prime Minister." Kuai Yue led the sons to meet the Tao.
"Xenomorph, please get up." Cao Cao hurriedly got out of the carriage and personally helped Kuai Yue, which was completely different from his attitude towards Cai Mao and others.
"Mr. Jiuwen's name, I can see it today, it's really new." Cao Cao said again.
"It is also an honor to meet the prime minister." Kuai Yue also said calmly.
"Hahahaha." Cao Cao laughed, very refreshing. After that, Cao Cao and Kuai Yue entered the Kuai Yue Mansion together, merged into the lobby and sat down, accompanied by Cheng Yu, Xun You, Xu Chu and others, as well as a team of soldiers.
After sitting down, Cao Cao said bluntly to Kuai Yue: "Sir is a wise man. I want to worship Mr. for the history of Jingzhou, to raise the town of Jingzhou, to raise grain and grass, and to train sailors to build warships. Not only trapped Guan Yu, but also went east to crusade against Sun Quan, what does Mr. think? ”
"If the prime minister has a life, I dare not disobey. But it is extremely difficult to Fujingzhou. Kuai Yue is still calm.
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, Xun Yu's face remained unchanged, and Cao Cao sighed: "I also know that it is extremely difficult, the navy, the warship, how can it be done in one day?" And the Jiangdong Navy is the world's leader. Jiangxia Zhuge Liang also has a water army. But if I don't give it a try, I'm very unwilling. ”
Kuai Yue groaned for a moment when he heard this, and said: "I don't know about Huang Zu and Wang Wei of Jiangxia Xiling, but the prime minister sent someone to compensate him?" ”
"Man Boning has already gone, as for whether the two can be stabilized, I don't dare to guarantee." Cao Cao said.
"If there are these two, the odds are better." Kuai Yue nodded and said.
"What about General Wenpin?" Kuai Yue asked again.
"I'll send someone to ask for it." Cao Cao clapped his hands, summoned a small official, and asked the little official to ask for a clerk.
"There are still 10,000 sailors in Xiangyang, and if you let Wen Ping train, you can be powerful within a year. If you hire this general, you can increase your chances of winning. ”
Kuai Yue said.
"That's what I planned." Cao Cao laughed.
"There is a Pang Degong on the mountain outside the city, who is highly respected. If you can politely dispel this person, you can stabilize the hearts of many scholars. Pang Tong in the city, the word Shiyuan, there is intelligence, and he is known as the crown of Nanzhou Shi. If you can get this person, it will be very different. These two people need to be invited by the prime minister. ”
Kuai Yue is planning again.
"Okay." Cao Cao responded quickly.
Immediately, Cao Cao officially sealed Kuai Yue as the history of Jingzhou, and took Han Song as a special driver to get an overview of the hearts of the people of Jingzhou. Soon after, Wen Pin came.
"I've seen Prime Minister Cao." Wen Ping came in from outside, neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed his hand.
Cao Cao has heard of the name of Wenpin for a long time, and today he was impressed when he saw Wenpin's appearance and bearing. Cao Cao stepped forward to help Wen Ping, and then asked, "Why is the general late?" ”
Wen Ping couldn't help but feel sad when he heard this, and cried: "In the past, I couldn't assist Liu Jingzhou to serve the country, and then Liu Jingzhou died of illness. I also plan to defend Hanchuan and protect the territory. Life is not lonely and weak (Liu Cong), and death is worthy of the underground. Now that Jingzhou is lost, I am really ashamed, so I have no shame to come to see it. ”
Although Wen Ping said that Jingzhou was no longer defensible, it was because Fancheng was breached, and when he defended Fancheng, Wen Ping was still confident and tried his best to fight.
If you are upright, you will be righteous.
If you are loyal, you will be emotional.
Now Wen Ping burst into tears, he is really a loyal minister. Cao Cao was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then sighed: "The general is really loyal to his ministers." ”
Immediately, Cao Cao appeased Wen Ping, and ordered Wen Ping to be a general and command 10,000 naval troops. Let Wen Ping be in the north of Xiangyang City and set up a water village.
So far, Kuai Yue, the civil servants have all surrendered.
Jingzhou has a history of thorns, don't drive, general. Then Cao Cao personally went to Xiangyang City to see Pang Tong, but learned that Pang Tong was missing.
went to Da Xian Mountain again, planning to invite Pang Degong out of the mountain, but Pang Degong was nowhere to be found.
On the mountain, in front of the former residence of Pang Degong. Cao Cao ordered someone to find a stool to sit down, and Kuai Yue, Han Song, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others sat on both sides.
"Jingzhou people's hearts are really not in me." Cao Qianran had long known that the thorns in Jingzhou were not convinced by him, but at this point, he was also sighing.
I wanted to use people, but people ran away.
What can I do about it?
Kuai Yue also felt that Pang Degong and Pang Tong's gang had gone too far, and they had run out.
Kuai Yue pondered for a long time and said: "Please ask the prime minister to find the clansmen of the Jingzhou clan who are still in Jingzhou, choose a famous person, and be the official of Jingzhou." ”
"Okay." Cao Cao is as good as a stream. After that, Cao Cao watched on the mountain for a day, and only in the evening did he lead the people back to Xiangyang.
Prime Minister Cao Cheng will not leave for the time being, running Jingzhou.
If you can't beat Shinno, it's okay.
Let's not go, with Jingzhou soldiers and horses, fight Jiangdong, and trap Guan Yu.
But is it that easy?
However, it was said that Cao Cao's side sent two people south, one was full of favors and went to Jiangxia Xiling to find Wang Wei and Huang Zu.
The first is to send Wang Ji to recruit the county guards of the four counties of Jingnan.
Full of pets first, fast horses day and night, and finally crossed the Yangtze River to Jiangxia County, Xiling County.
At present, Huang Zu and Wang Wei are leading 30,000 horses to garrison Jiangxia and confront Zhou Yu. Among them, Huang Zu is the county guard, and there are many leading generals under his command, controlling 20,000 soldiers and horses, 10,000 sailors, and 10,000 infantry troops.
In fact, Huang Zu used to have more men and horses, but in the battle with Sun Quan, the men and horses were lost a lot, and some of the 20,000 troops were newly recruited.
It was attacked by Sun Quan several times, and his morale was very low.
At present, the essence of Jiangxia lies in Wang Wei's 10,000 people.
Huang Zu was stationed in Xiling City, while Wang Wei set up a water village in the north of the city, and the two did not belong to each other.
Cao Cao attacked Xiangyang, and the Liu family perished. Of course, no one told Huang Zu the news. Huang Zu is still quite worried in Xiling City.
Worried about how to stop Zhou Yu.
Suddenly, I heard that Manpet was coming, and Cao Cao had broken through Xiangyang. Huang Zu almost fainted with fright, and then hurriedly invited Man Pet to sit down in the lobby.
"Dare to ask sir, how does the prime minister want to treat me?" Huang Zu was extremely apprehensive, but also extremely humble, and asked carefully.
"The prime minister wants to run Jingzhou. A general like Huang Taishou is rare, so he naturally guards Jiangxia as usual to block Sun Wu's soldiers and horses. ”
When Man Zhong saw Huang Zu's attitude, he had already settled down in his heart, calmly rushed to the north, and then said.
"I will do my best to repay the prime minister for his kindness." Huang Zu hurriedly said.
It is Cao Cao who is the time of the day, the time of the day is in Jingzhou, and the tiger looks at the world. Those who do not surrender are hard bones. Huang Zu is naturally a soft bone.
The two talked for a while, and Man Zhong asked, "I don't know General Wang Wei?" ”
Full Pet naturally knows who is Meiyu and who is the mud.
"I'll send someone to ask General Wang." Huang Zu hurriedly said, and then sent someone to invite Wang Wei. After a while, Man Zhong asked, "Can Huang Taishou know Wang Wei's intentions?" Will he follow suit?"
Huang Zu was a little surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself, now that Cao Cao is so powerful, a fool has to resist. But Huang Zu pondered it carefully, but he also found a problem.
Wang Wei is strong.
Not necessarily convinced.
When Man Zhong saw Huang Zu's expression, he knew. He said in a low voice: "I'll ask General Wang later, if General Wang hesitates a little." Then you send troops to hold General Wang hostage, and then send men to command his troops. ”
"Okay." Huang Zu agreed, and sent people to ambush the knife and axe men around. And agreed to drop the cup as the number.
Soon after, the soldiers reported that Wang Wei had come. Huang Zu hurriedly went out to greet him and brought Wang Wei to the lobby.
"Who is this?" Wang Wei didn't know about this, and he didn't know Manzhong, but he suddenly saw Manzhong and wondered.
"This is under the account of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, full of favors, full of Boning. Prime Minister Cao Cheng has broken through Xiangyang, and Liu Jingzhou has been annexed. The prime minister ordered us and the other two to guard Jiangxia and guard against Zhou Yu. I don't know what General Wang thinks? ”
Huang Zu said tentatively.
Wang Wei's face changed when he heard this, and then he immediately said: "Since Liu Jingzhou has been attached, we and the ministers of the fallen country naturally have to obey the mandate of heaven." I am willing to guard Jiangxia for the prime minister and guard against Zhou Yu. ”
"Hahaha." Huang Zu laughed, and Man Pet also smiled.
Then, Huang Zu set up a banquet to entertain Wang Wei, full of favors, singing and dancing, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. After the banquet, Wang Wei got up to say goodbye.
Huang Zu sent Wang Wei to the door, and then asked Man Pet to stay.
Wang Wei rode out of Xiling City with his own soldiers and went straight to the northern water village. The bottom of this water village is very good, the camp is strong, and the warships on the water float, as far as the eye can see.
After Wang Wei entered the water village, he came to the big tent of the Chinese army. After pondering for a moment, he said to his own soldiers: "Go and invite Wang Sima." ”
"No." The soldiers promised and hurriedly went down. Not long after, Wang Yan, the battalion commander, walked in from outside and said, "General." ”
"Sit." Wang Wei said to Wang Yan, and then the two of them entered and sat down. Wang Wei said: "Xiangyang has been breached, Cao Cao's envoys have arrived in Jiangxia, and Huang Zu has been attached. ”
"What does the general mean?" Wang Yan was taken aback, and after a long time, he asked tentatively.
But I know that if Wang Wei also chooses to be attached, I am afraid that he will not deliberately talk to him secretly.
"If the Lord is here, I will never do the opposite. But now the lord is gone. We are just ghosts, and we need to serve one person. It's not wrong to defect to Cao Cao, but Huang Zu and I, I'm afraid we can't beat Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang together. And Jingzhou Yangtze River, Han River, river crisscross. I am afraid that Cao Cao may not be able to defend Jingzhou. ”
Wang Wei said in a low voice.
"We defected to Zhou Yu?" Wang Yan also said in a low voice.
"Nope. Jiangdong has its own water army, and it is insignificant for me to defect to it. But Zhuge Liang has few water troops. It's better to cross the river and go to Zhuge Liang. ”
Wang Wei said.
"Okay."
Wang Yan thought about it, nodded and said.
Then Wang Wei first sent his henchmen to Lu County, the county under the rule of Nanjun, to pick up his and Wang Yan's families. This Lu County is close to the Yangtze River, and it is really convenient for boats to come and go.
This is also Wang Wei's confidence not to defect to Cao Cao. The family is safe, there are soldiers and ships, and you can go to whoever you want.
After staying until night, he gave up the water village and crossed the river to the north.
