316. Huang Zu died
As soon as the five tiger generals came out, the world was shaken. Although Liu Bei's side did not make a big publicity, the existing forces in the world quickly got the news. Shocked that there were so many fierce generals under Liu Bei's command, he was deeply vigilant. Imagine if his side fought with Liu Bei, would he be able to withstand the attack of so many fierce generals.
Among them, Cao Cao was the most worried, Cao Cao was too close to Liu Bei. As soon as the five tiger generals on Liu Bei's side were announced, Cao Cao secretly sent a lot of additional soldiers and horses to Dongjun and other places. At the same time, it was strictly ordered to pay close attention to the movements of Liu Bei's side at the time of the ban.
And the failure of the last assassination of Han Fei caused almost all the hidden stakes under Cao Cao to be sent to Liu Bei to be destroyed. Since then, many plans had to be re-planned, and during this period, Cao Cao's secret and Xi Zhi discussed it for a long time, and then Xi Zhi left Xuchang and disappeared. Obviously, he was planning to deal with Liu Bei's big thing.
The influence of the Five Tiger Generals on Liu Bei's side has not been eliminated, and another incident has happened! The situation in the world has changed again. This is Sun Quan's surprise attack on Jiangxia, his general Zhou Taizhen beheaded Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, Huang Zu's general Su Fei wanted to avenge the old master, but was killed by Ling Tong, who followed later.
This time, the Jiangxia army was in chaos, and was defeated by Sun Quanjun's army, and Jiang Xia was about to change hands. At the critical moment, Liu Pan brought people to help, and his general Huang Zhongli fought against the generals under Sun Quan without defeat, and Liu Pan led people to integrate Jiangxia's defeated troops, which made Jiangxia City stable.
Sun Quan saw that he couldn't take advantage, so he ordered the troops to be withdrawn. took Huang Zu's head to pay tribute to his deceased father Sun Jian. After Sun Quan's army retreated, Liu Pan hurriedly wrote to his uncle Liu Biao, who was seriously ill at the moment and fainted after hearing the emergency report. Fortunately, he was rescued after a while, so he ordered Liu Pan to take over Jiangxia Taishou, and ordered him to guard Jiangxia well and not let Sun Quan take advantage of it.
After Liu Pan received the order, he took his men and horses to station in Jiangxia. At this time, the eldest prince Liu Qi was still defending Cao Cao in the north in Fancheng, and Liu Biao, the governor of Xiangyang City, had not many soldiers available. Cai Mao felt that the time had come, so he began to secretly send people to Xuchang to contact Cao Cao, wanting to forcibly force a confession and surrender Cao Cao with the nine counties of Jingxiang.
When Cao Cao learned the news, he was overjoyed. So he summoned his henchmen to discuss countermeasures. Cheng Yu was the first to speak: "My lord, this is a God-given opportunity, I am changing the lord to take the land of Jingzhou, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has rarely affected Jingzhou, and then the soldiers are full of food." If the lord can obtain Jingzhou, the military strength of our army will definitely increase greatly, and then he will not be afraid of Liu Bei. ”
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this: "What Zhongde said is exactly what I want, but this Jingzhou person is outstanding, I am afraid that I will not be able to make meritorious contributions!" ”
"Alas, the lord has no need to worry about it! That Liu Qi'er is just a sour scholar, and he has some skills to hire him, but if he wants to stop my majestic master in the land of Fancheng, it is tantamount to blocking the car with a mantis arm and not being able to do it! It was Chen Jiao who spoke. Cao Cao's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he nodded with a smile. Obviously, he recognized Chen Jiao's words.
At this time, Xun Yu said: "At this time, it is the middle of winter, not to mention the cold weather, and the soldiers are also looking forward to the New Year, they will be war-weary!" It's better to wait for the spring to bloom and then use troops before the main attack! ”
Although Cao Cao knew that Xun Yu was right, he was full of pride at the moment, and he didn't want to listen to the remarks that poured cold water, so he suddenly said unhappily: "If Wen should pay more attention to the logistics after the people's livelihood, you won't have to worry about when to march!" ”
This is quite unkind, and the meaning is obvious. It's good that you Xun Yu pays attention to people's livelihood and logistics, and don't care about anything else. Xun Yu sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, if he didn't know why Cao Cao was angry. It's just that everyone has their own insistence in their hearts, but they are excluded by Cao Cao, and they don't want to change their position.
Guo Jia on the side couldn't bear to see Xun Yu who looked lonely, he was just about to speak, but someone spoke again at this time. "My lord, since the Cai family intends to surrender, there must be a letter of nomination. The head of the Liu table, the lid of the box is dedicated to the lord! It was Sima Yi who spoke.
After the battle of Julu City, Sima Yi finally showed his head and feet, and at this moment he was also cultivated by Cao Cao as a confidant. At this moment, he was in a hurry to perform, and opening his mouth was a poisonous plan. When Cao Cao heard this, he looked directly at Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda, if I entrust this matter to you, how long will it take to make a contribution?" ”
Sima Yi hugged his fists and said: "If the lord is in charge of this matter, there will be a response for more than a month." ”
"Okay, tomorrow you will set off, and when you arrive in Xiangyang City, someone will receive you, if you make a contribution this time, I will not hesitate to reward!" Cao Cao slapped the table and said.
Sima Yi said excitedly: "I will live up to the trust of the lord." As soon as everyone saw that Cao Cao had decided not to speak at the moment, Guo Jia's words came to his lips and he took them back. At this moment, Cao Cao has been the prime minister for a long time, and his majesty is becoming more and more unconsciously strong. There is no room for the slightest objection, that is, Guo Jia's words he can still listen to. But in general, Guo Jia didn't want to disobey him.
Shan said that Sima Yi returned home to pack his bags and prepare to go to Jingzhou early tomorrow morning. At this time, there was a soft knock on the door. Sima Yi asked, "Who?" ”
"The third brother is me!"
"Oh, why is my brother here?" Sima Yi hurriedly opened the door and saw that it was his eldest brother Sima Lang. Sima Lang also served under Cao Cao and is now the Taishou of Hanoi. But how could he come to Xuchang quietly?
"I happened to come to Xuchang to report on my work, and then I will go to Luoyang to be a taishou." As if he was gossiping, and as if he was answering Sima Yi's question, he walked into the house while talking. Sima Yi knew that his eldest brother must have something to do here, so he hurriedly closed the door and came to sit down beside his eldest brother.
At this time, Sima Lang spoke: "Third brother, I just heard that you volunteered to go to Jingzhou, but is there such a thing?" ”
"But there is such a thing, but ......"
Before Sima Yi finished speaking, Sima Lang waved his hand and said, "I don't have to know the reason." I just want to remind you that you don't forget that you are from the Sima family. You naturally know the identity of my ancestor, and I won't say more. This time, if you go to Jingzhou, you will be trapped in death, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of death! At that time, how will you fulfill my Sima family's mission? ”
Sima Yi was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "I want to help the Cao family first, and then replace them." It will take three generations of hard work to succeed in a plane crash close to my generation. For today's business, it is to straighten out the Cao family first. If the Cao family is not strong, my plan will not be implemented. ”
"It's good that you have an arrangement in mind, and pay more attention to safety when you go to Jingzhou. You hold this sign, my Sima family still has some hands over there, and someone will contact you when you get there. Remember that the surname left behind has a chance to turn around. Sima Lang handed an iron plate to Sima Yi and left. Sima Yi clutched the iron card in his hand, unable to calm down for a long time.
Ask for a ticket.
