Chapter 120: Cai Mao's plan
Shi Yue and Liao Hua returned from Longzhong to Xiangyang, and on the way they learned that Liu Bei had gone to Tunzha Xinye, so they changed routes.
Shinno
"The lord is like this, if you agree, you will personally go to Longzhong to invite this Mr. Wolong out of the mountain." Shi Yue came back and conveyed what Kong Ming said to Liu Bei.
Zhang Fei on the side was furious, bared his teeth, and Zhang Fei said: "This is a demon, and he wants to trap his eldest brother in injustice!" I went and set fire to his house. ”
Liu Bei looked at Shi Yue, "This person is really as legendary as the military advisor said." ”
"In the land of Jingzhou, there is a saying that Fulong and phoenix chicks can settle the world. This Fulong is Mr. Wolong, Zhuge Kongming. This person is 10,000 times stronger than me, has insight into the world, and is unpredictable. Just like Jiang Taigong is alive, Zhang Liang and Han Xin are alive. ”
Liu Bei listened to it, and he was able to get such an evaluation, if there is, the world will not worry. "I'll meet you in person."
Zhang Fei muttered with a displeased face: "Nonsense......"
Shi Yue thought back to Kong Ming, and still felt terrible, Zhong Da was playing dark, and this was playing bright. He has been lying prone for many years is the day he came out of the mountain, and now the Ming Lord will definitely not let it go, Liu Datou went to say it in person, it can be regarded as sincerity.
Liu Bei said: "Prepare for the heavy gift, I will go to Longzhong." ”
Xiangyang
Cai Mao summoned Han Song and others to the mansion to discuss matters.
"Cao Cao has already begun to send troops over there in Xudu, and today I received a book, which is to persuade us to surrender. You and I are all gay people, so that's why I'm just calling you today. ”
"The soldiers of Jingzhou are not defeated by Cao Cao's army, if there is a war, it will be ruined, we had better dissuade the lord and surrender, what Cao Cao did is to pacify the world, Jingzhou is the land of the Han family, and now it is back to reason, but the lord is bent on going his own way, neither willing to fight nor willing to surrender, it will definitely lead us into the quagmire."
Cai Mao said what he said to everyone, and everyone said the same thing after listening to it.
Xuan Yue said: "The lord will definitely not surrender, and there is Liu Bei here, Liu Bei is this person who spies on my Jingzhou land, and then he will definitely instigate the lord to fight openly, if you want to surrender, you must first deal with Liu Bei." ”
Cai Mao said: "I have a plan, we can let the lord invite Liu Bei to the city for a banquet, and we will ambush the soldiers outside the city, and wait for him to go out of the city after the banquet and execute him." ”
"Good! Let's just say so. ”
Cai Mao said: "However, now is not the time, I heard that Liu Bei left Xinye, and he has not returned yet, and he will not start until he returns." ”
"Not in Shinno? Where did this person go? He asked puzzled.
"It's said that I went to Longzhong."
Shinno
Shi Yue didn't go with him, so he stayed here, and there was a surprise at home recently, the money-losing goods were born.
Jian Yongxi said: "The lord has a son today, and he is very happy, but unfortunately the lord is not here today." ”
Sun Qianyan said: "It's okay, the lord came back just to give a surprise." ”
"Strategist, why do you look unhappy?" Sun Qian looked over and asked puzzled.
"Ahh No, I'm worried about Xiangyang, what Cai Mao and the others will do next may not happen to us. Shi Yue responded.
Jian Yong said: "The military advisor is really different from our peers, everything he thinks is a big deal, and the constitution is respectful. ”
Shi Yue casually said a few words to fool the past, and then thought of a point, people can be cultivated......
Xiangyang
Soon, Cai Mao learned that Liu Bei had returned to Xinye, so he and everyone looked for Liu Biao. "In recent years, he has gathered all the officials in Xiangyang to show his intention of appeasing and persuading, and he also invited the lord and his party."
Liu Biaoyan: "Recently, I have been ill, and I can't do it, so let the second son replace him and be the master of hospitality." ”
Cai Mao said: "The son is still young, and I am afraid that he has lost his etiquette." ”
"Then go to Xinye and ask Xuande to entertain you."
Cai Mao was secretly happy, and happened to fall into his own plan, and then sent someone to Xinye to invite Xuande to Xiangyang.
After Xuande returned to Xinye from Longzhong, he did not bring back Wolong, Liu Bei said to Shi Yue: "Mr. Kong Ming said, now is not the time, when the time comes, he will definitely come in person." ”
Shi Yue was confused, "What this person is planning, he must have something to think about, he is willing to help, and he will not break his word." ”
Xuande smiled, "Wolong is really as the military advisor said, he is really a talent in the world, and he hates to see each other late." I didn't come in person, but I was recommended by someone, so I went to look for it, so I came back very late. He will be here in the near future. ”
Not long after, the person recommended by Kong Ming led another person to the house, and Liu Biao's invitation also came that day.
"Liu Biao asked the lord to preside, I'm afraid it's more than that, it is estimated that Cai Mao and others plotted, I am afraid that something will happen to you, and the lord will think twice." Sun Qian reminded.
Liu Bei said: "I will go, if I don't go, I will be used by Cai Mao to play the problem, and it will be even more difficult to deal with it." ”
"The lord can go, I have a plan to deal with it." The person he said was the person recommended by Kong Ming, Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi.
Liu Bei Xizhi, "Then listen to Yuan Zhi's words, I can go with peace of mind." ”
Xu Shu looked at the other person he brought, this person was tall, black-faced and bearded, he came from Guanxi, he had been a Yellow Turban Army before, and recently got the book of Kong Ming, and came to Jingzhou, went to Xu Shu, and came together today.
"Zhou Cang, you can lead the three hundred horse infantry to go with you, and you can rest assured." Xu Shu said to him.
When Shi Yue began to know about Zhou Cang, the person brought by Xu Shu, his brain was already confused, Zhou Cang is Kong Ming, your person, this person is in the north, what kind of world is this? There are always some slight discrepancies.
The next day, Xuande rode Lu to Xiangyang, and Xu Shu and Zhou Cang led the troops to follow.
Cai Mao greeted Guo Xiang, "Uncle Huang is here to help, I thank him for the lord, the lord can't travel because of illness, and it's no wonder that he can't travel." Cai Mao is modest in words and deeds, changing her usual attitude.
Liu Bei replied, "I don't know that Brother Jingsheng is sick, I want to go and visit." ”
Cai Mao said: "The lord is fine, if you want to see it, the son will follow." ”
Later, the sons Liu Qi and Liu Cong led a group of officials out to greet them. Liu Bei and his second son went to see Liu Biao.
Liu Biao was really as he said, and it was inconvenient to move, so Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward, "Brother Jingsheng is okay?" ”
Liu Biao smiled, "I'm old, that's it, so I'm bothering my brother to come." ”
Liu Bei said: "Brother Jingsheng can find me for anything, and Xuande will definitely do his best." ”
The two talked for a long time, and then Liu Bei lived in the city building. Zhou Cang and others led the troops to guard.
Gongzi Liu Qi came to see Liu Bei, "Uncle Huang, you have also seen what my father is doing today, and I hope that Uncle Huang will help and entertain guests." Liu Bei said: "Jingsheng has difficulties, so I will naturally help him." ”
Liu Qi said worriedly: "Now that Mrs. Cai frequently slanders me in my father's ear, I am afraid that my father will abolish the growth and establish the young, what should I do?" ”
Liu Beiyan: "Don't worry, why bother with the slander of others, Brother Jingsheng is a wise person, he has his own measure, Childe doesn't have to worry, even if there are changes in the future, I am also on Childe's side." ”
Liu Qi was grateful, and then retreated.
After Liu Qi retreated, Xu Shu came in, and Liu Bei asked, "How is Yuan Zhiru's plan?" ”
Xu Shu said: "You can rest assured. Now Cai Mao and others really can't hold back, after I enter the city, I have already acted, there is a military guard at the east gate of Da Xian Mountain, there is a military patrol outside the south gate, and there are soldiers at the north gate, but there is no one at the west gate, and there is a Tanxi barrier at the west gate, so no one guards it, and the lord can go out from the west gate when he arrives, and Cai Mao must lead the army to chase after him. I'll do it later. ”
