Less than ten days after Liu Cong ascended the throne, he reported to Xiangyang, and Cao Cao led 200,000 troops to attack Jingzhou.

Liu Cong was shocked and immediately convened a group of people to discuss.

Many strategists advocated that Liu Cong should sacrifice Jingzhou and surrender to Cao Cao in order to preserve his position. It's too much of a deception! Jingzhou is the foundation of the father, if this is really the case, I am afraid it will make people laugh! ”

Kuai Yue said: "How is Gongzi and Cao Cao?"

Liu Cong said: "It's better too!"

"Since it is not as good, it has to be like this, in the past, Cao Cao was not strong, Yuan Shao was not an opponent, today, all the princes are dead, Cao Mengde is not peaceful, only Jingzhou, Jiangdong Er!"

"At this time, I don't know how to advance or retreat, so I have to wait for the sky to add to the body!"

Liu Cong was taken aback, and was intimidated by this speaker.

said: "If I am not willing to surrender, with the cause of the ancestors, let others, I will be laughed at and generous by the world!"

Cai Mao said: "What the officials say is reasonable, between the world and life, there is only one choice, is it life or death?"

"What's more, even if Cao Cao doesn't come, Liu Xuande and Liu Qi won't let you sit in this position."

Cao Mengde's soldiers arrived in Wancheng, and within a few days, they received a letter of surrender written by Liu Cong, Cao Mengde was overjoyed, and only said to the messenger: "You go back and tell Liu Cong that I still make him the lord of Jingzhou."

The strategist admonished, I'm afraid this is a strategy, and the prime minister can't be tricked!

Cao Mengde stroked his sword and laughed, and said: "Even if it is really a plan, it is really like a tiger's den in Longtan, I have 200,000 horses, which is enough to sweep Jingzhou."

When the envoy returned to see Liu Cong, he was caught by Liu Bei's patrolling of the river, and under questioning, he said that Liu Cong had dedicated the nine counties of Jingzhou.

Suddenly, Liu Xuande hugged his head and cried, and said, "Could it be that the heavens are absolutely against my Liu family?"

Yi Yuan was shocked, "Where does the king know?" ”

Liu Xuande Guyan got the news of the messenger, and Yi said: "In this case, the king can go to Jingzhou in the name of condolences, lure Liu Cong out of the city, and then destroy his wings, and then Jingzhou will return to the envoy!"

Liu Xuande said: "You know that everyone rebelled, why didn't you report me early, and it is a fact that you sacrificed Jingzhou."

Liu Xuande was depressed, and the son Liu Qi sent Yi to come, Liu Xuande saw Yi and said: "You only know that the Cai family has sole power, and you don't know that Liu Cong has handed over Jingzhou to Cao Cao!"

Yi Ji was shocked, "If this is the case, you can go to Jingzhou in the name of condolences, lure Liu Cong to greet him, and destroy his henchmen, the lord of Jingzhou is yours." ”

Liu Xuande said: "The same blood of the Liu family, why is it too anxious to fry each other? Though you die, you will not do such an ungrateful thing! ”

After sending away the Yi nationality, it was reported that Cao Cao's army was getting closer and closer to Xinye, and Liu Xuande urgently summoned Zhuge to discuss.

Zhuge Jun said: "Last time, Xiahoudun came here, a fire, burned Bowang, Xiahoudun lost thousands of troops and horses, and now Cao Cao personally led troops here, and he will not give up!"

Liu Xuande said: "Cao Mengde is a heroic figure after all, not comparable to Yuan Shao, now most of the princes have died, and the only people left are Jiangdong Sun Quan, Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, and my ......."

"Liu Biao died, his son Liu Cong sacrificed Jingzhou, and there are fewer and fewer people who are enemies of Cao Cao!"

Zhuge Jun said: "The lord doesn't have to be sad, I have a plan to retreat!" Now I have to unite with Jiangdong Sun Quan to resist the enemy! Cao Mengde once said that there are only envoys and Cao Cao in the world, which shows that Cao Cao is afraid of you. ”

Liu Xuande said: "The same is the case, what should I do?"

Zhuge Jun said: "Xinye is definitely not a place to stay for a long time, it is better to plan early!"

In order to buy people's hearts and show his love for the people, he instructed the soldiers, beat gongs and drums, and let everyone follow him!

"Cao Cao's people are approaching, regardless of men, women and children, those who are willing to follow, you can go to Fancheng with me today to take refuge, spread the word, and don't make mistakes!"

On the one hand, he quickly ordered everyone to prepare boats and prepare to choose a time to cross the river, and the people rushed to tell each other, and there were only a hundred people with them.

The rest were secretly killed by Liu Bei and spread rumors, which Cao Cao did.

Cao Cao's 100,000 soldiers in the forward army were opened by Cao Hong and Cao Zhen, and Li Dian was ordered to lead 30,000 ironclad troops first!

When it was dark, I saw that on the top of the mountain, Liu Xuande and Zhuge were sitting opposite each other and drinking, Xu Zhu and others were furious, rushed up the mountain, and the wooden boulders on the mountain rolled down, and Cao Jun was seriously injured.

Cao Ren led the troops to arrive, and the soldiers were sleepy and tired, so they ordered to take Xinye to rest temporarily. Killed into the city gate, there was no one in the city, only many people who were killed, Cao Hong laughed: "Liu Xuande's original form is revealed, he wants to frame the prime minister with murder, and those who follow him will avoid death, and those who do not follow him will only die!"

And ordered to report back to the prime minister, while burying the pot to make rice, the night three watches, the wind was raging, the city gates suddenly caught fire, Zhuge Jun repeated the old tricks, came out, the plan to burn the city, the fire soared into the sky, more lively than before!

Repeated defeats, which made Cao Mengde furious, seemed to be helping Liu Xuande even day long, is it really to the point of exhaustion!

Cao Ren led the men and horses to escape from Xinye, his face was covered with blood in several places, and his mouth was hungry and thirsty, and when he arrived at the White River, the soldiers went into the water, and the horses neighed!

Guan Yunchang was exiled and drowned Cao Jun more than 10,000, Cao Ren was about to leave, and behind his back, Zhang Fei led his troops to kill him.

Cao Ren brought only 70,000 people back to see Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was furious and ordered Cao Ren to be killed.

The generals will intercede and spare him the death penalty!

He shouted: "Zhuge villager, you deceive people too much!"

Xun Yu admonished: "Xu Yuanzhi said that Zhuge Jun's brother Zhuge Liang also has the talent to go through heaven and earth, why don't you go to seek advice?"

Cao Cao said: "I've been there a few times, this person is mostly prevaricated, if I kill Kong Ming, the world will laugh at me for not knowing talents!"

"Liu Xuande deceived people too much, killed many people, and pushed the murder charge away, it's really infuriating!"

Liu Xuande crossed the river with the people, the heavy rain continued that day, the mud was difficult to walk, and after crossing the river, it was also miserable!

Seeing that the people were suffering from this calamity, Liu Xuande wanted to die quickly, but was stopped by Zhuge Jun!

Cao Cao wanted to pacify Fancheng, but he was afraid of making people laugh at it, saying that it was intolerable.

Liu Ye admonished and said: "When the prime minister first came here, the foundation was unstable, he should buy the hearts of the people first, let people go to Liu Bei first, if Liu Bei does not surrender, it can also be seen that the prime minister loves the people, if he surrenders, Jingzhou will decide without a fight!"

Cao Mengde said: "Who can be the messenger?"

Liu Ye admonished: "Xu Shu has a good relationship with the Zhuge family, which can make him move forward."

Cao Mengde said: "Since I got Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi has not offered me any useful schemes, and he will not do his best to go here!"

"Whether he does his best or not, the prime minister has decided to capture Jingzhou, why do you care about this."

If you don't care about that, what can you do?
