Chapter 334 Cai Deqi was in chaos, and Zhou Gongjin went out of the mountain again

Let's say that Liu Bei went to Jingzhou in person, and there is another purpose.

That is to use the investigation of the cause of Liu Biao's death to get rid of the Jingzhou Cai family gate!

If Cai's gate valve is not removed, Jingzhou will be unstable in the end!

Don't underestimate the land of Jingzhou!

The scope of this jurisdiction is very wide, and it is comparable to the Jiangdong Wu Kingdom! South to Jiaozhou Cangwu, Jiuzhen, north to Jiangling, nearly ten counties of territory.

In recent years, the development of Cai's gate valve in Jingzhou has been deeply rooted, far beyond the influence of Liu Biao and other gate valves. Therefore, when Liu Qi rises strongly, Cai Mao will want to suppress Liu Qi at all costs.

Because she was betting on Liu Cong at the beginning, Cai Mao had no choice but to support it!

In the face of Liu Qi, the only thing he can do is to fight!

When Liu Qi was appreciated by Liu Bei, Cai Mao had already decided to take a road of hegemony!

He would definitely not take refuge under Liu Bei's command, because he couldn't be sure if Liu Bei would give the Cai clan the benefits of the era of Liu Jingsheng!

In other words, he didn't believe that Liu Bei would give him the power and power he expected, but that Soochow would be able to give him these during this period!

Therefore, he chose to take refuge in Sun Quan.

In fact, he asked Liu Cong to take refuge in Sun Quan, but he was just looking for a collaborator! It's just that this cooperative relationship is a bit like Shi Jingjiao's willingness to call the Khitan emperor in later generations!

In his cognition, it would take at least a year for Liu Bei to wipe out Cao Cao's power in Sanfu.

However, Liu Bei took less than half a year to collect all the three auxiliary lands!

So cognitively, he still lacks a lot of strength in Liu Bei!

This also doomed him to failure later!

When the news of Liu Bei's recovery of Sanfu came, he was shocked!

The wealthy families in Jingzhou were shocked!

Kuai Yue and his brother Kuai Liang hurriedly came to the door and asked him: "De Jue, Liu Xuande has collected all the three auxiliaries, and Cao Mengde and the little emperor have retreated into Hanzhong. ”

Kuai Liang also asked worriedly: "The lord betrayed Liu Xuande with great fanfare, will it become Liu Xuande's next target?" ”

Cai Mao is not sure about this matter!

He was stunned, and said quite unconfidently: "Fighting for Sanfu, will he have such a background behind him?" ”

He's right!

After years of low-key expansion, Liu Bei ruled the six states, which can be described as the people's livelihood and the wealth of the treasury!

The loss of the three auxiliaries is indeed very large!

This time he sent troops to Jingzhou, in Liu Bei's heart, he may not have thought of using force at all, maybe it was just ......

However, what does Liu Bei think?

Do you want to do anything about Jingzhou?

Cai Mao doesn't care for sure! The only thing he can be sure of is that Liu Bei came to Jingzhou for the play he directed before and joined forces with Dongwu!

Therefore, now he must get in touch with Soochow as soon as possible.

When he thought of Soochow, the envoy of Soochow had already arrived outside the city.

That's really fast!

Cai Mao glanced at the Kuai brothers and asked, "Could it be that Sun Quan also got the news?" Couldn't you send someone to inquire? ”

"Perhaps!" Kuai Yue said with a pandering attitude.

In the future, people were invited to the house, and Cai Mao was overjoyed when she saw it.

Who's coming?

is not an outsider, it is Jiangdong Zhou Lang, Zhou Yu, and Zhou Gongjin who came to talk about the union.

"Gong Jin, don't come to harm?"

"All well!"

"What do you mean by being here?"

"Jiangdong was suddenly attacked by the army of Yan Liang, the general of Liu Xuande, and the two armies fought in the waters near Pengze! My lord wanted to send someone to ask Dejun to send troops to help. However, Yu heard that Liu Xuande's army of more than 100,000 people had entered Jingzhou, and Wen Chou and Zhuge Liang accompanied him, lest they be unfavorable to Jiangling. Therefore, a certain person invited Wang Yu to come to Jiangling to help his brother Tai before he went to King Wu! Zhou Yu said.

What the?

Liu Bei actually sent Yan Liang to attack Jiangdong?

Hearing these news, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Kuai Conscience were even more shocked.

Cai Mao hurriedly asked, "Gong Jin! I only have more than 20,000 defenders in Gangneung City? Even with Liu Qi in Xiangyang, the department is not enough! ”

"Don't worry! Why don't you summon soldiers from all counties to help? Zhou Yu preached to Cai Mao.

Also, the five counties of Changsha, Luling, Guiyang, Cangwu, and Jiuzhen together have 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses, which is enough to fight against Liu Bei's army. If it weren't for Jiangxia's navy to beware of the sneak attack of Yan Liang's navy, the 30,000 sailors would be transferred, which would be more than 100,000 troops!

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Cai Mao realized that she was in a hurry, and she was a little flustered!

He hurriedly passed down the conscription order and transferred the generals of the five counties to help with all the soldiers and horses of their own counties.

Zhou Yu also offered him a plan: "Wuling is in the south of Jiangling City, if Jin Xuan leads a large army to attack, the general will be attacked from both sides, and it will be unfavorable to the battle!" ”

"Please also ask Gongjin for advice!" Cai Mao hurriedly asked Zhou Yu for advice.

Zhou Yu said: "The public can make the soldiers and horses of Changsha and Lingling counties besiege Wuling City. Wuling Taishou Liu Du will definitely send someone to ask Liu Qi for help! When the time came, Liu Qi sent troops to Wuling, why didn't the public take the opportunity to take Xiangyang and Lingling first? ”

"Brilliant plan! Coup! Cai Mao was overjoyed when she heard this.

Two days later, in Wuling City, Taishou Liu Du listened to Tanma's report, and hurriedly discussed with Duwei Xing Daorong: "At this time, Wang Wei and Song Zhong led troops to attack Wuling, could it be that there is some conspiracy in it?" ”

Xing Daorong was also very puzzled and asked, "Yes! His Majesty's army will arrive in Xiangyang in a few days, Cai Deqi didn't say that he would mobilize troops and horses to go to Jiangling, why did he send them to lead nearly 40,000 troops to fight us? ”

Gongzi Liu Xian suddenly came in from the outside and said with a smile: "Father and uncle care about it, it's messy!" How can Cai Deqi rest assured that there is my Wuling City in the rear? ”

"I see!" After listening to this, Liu Du and Xing Daorong looked at each other and smiled, and asked Liu Xian again: "Xian'er, how should you deal with this battle?" ”

"Stick to the city first, and then send a letter to Yiling, telling Jin Taishou not to act rashly! Yiling will become an outpost of His Majesty's attack on Gangneung! Therefore, as soon as Your Majesty's soldiers and horses arrive, the enemy army outside our Wuling City will no longer be threatened! At that time, His Majesty will naturally send someone to rescue us! Liu Xian said lightly.

Sticking to the city is still completely possible for Liu Du!

There are more than 15,000 or 6,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and it should be enough to block the attack of less than 40,000 soldiers and horses according to the Wuling Tomb with thick walls in the city!

Liu Xian said to the two of them again: "If Cai Zhong and Song Zhong can be eliminated, maybe the two generals Wang Wei and Chen Ying may still be able to return to obedience!" ”

"Why do you think so?" Liu Du asked puzzled.

"The reason why Cai Zhong is in Wang Wei's army is that Cai Mao has always distrusted General Wang Wei. Therefore, the child thinks that once Cai Zhong is eliminated, General Wang Wei will easily submit to His Majesty! As for General Chen Ying, he has always been at odds with Song Zhong, and he has repeatedly asked Cai Mao to transfer him to no avail! Many people in the Cai Valve looked down on General Chen Ying, but they didn't know that this person's influence in the Lingling Army far exceeded that of Song Zhong! Liu Xian explained.

"However, if you want to get rid of Cai Zhong and Song Zhong, how easy is it?" Xing Daorong said.

Everyone in the Jingzhou army knows the virtues of these two people!

It's completely greedy for life and afraid of death to the extreme, but he's so happy and greedy for fame!

Don't look at the two of them daring to go to the front of the two armies, they came to compete for military merits! If they were to fight the enemy in front of the two armies, they would not find anyone!

After the victory, they ran faster than anyone else, appeared in the most conspicuous place early, and occupied the first share.

Liu Xian smiled and said, "Mountain people have their own tricks!" Let's get your soldiers ready! When they arrive in the future, they have their own way! After saying that, he said goodbye to his father and Xing Daorong, and turned to leave.

Looking at his son's departure, Liu Du asked, "Dao Rong, what Xian'er said......"

"My lord, I thought Childe must have already taken a countermeasure! I still listen to my son, and I'll go to the city to arrange for soldiers to be armed! Xing Daorong is very optimistic about Liu Xian.

Since returning from Jiangling last time, Liu Du has seen that Xing Daorong's attitude towards his son Liu Xian has changed a lot. Although he asked many times, he only got Xing Daorong's praise for his son, but he didn't mention anything about the incident at that time.

The next day, Wang Wei and Cai Zhong's soldiers and horses arrived outside Wuling City.

Liu Xian came to see his father Liu Du and said: "Father, the child is willing to lead thousands of troops out of the city and invite Cai Zhong to fight!" ”

"What?" Liu Duhao was frightened by his son's words, and looked at him in a daze.

Xing Daorong was also shocked, and asked in disbelief: "Childe, you, are you telling the truth?" ”

Liu Xian smiled: "What? Can't I go into battle and kill the enemy as soon as I am a scholar? ”

"But you can't do it, how can you ......," Liu Du asked worriedly.

Liu Xian interrupted his father and said with a smile: "Ban Chao is in charge of writing, why can't the child?" Furthermore, if Captain Xing personally commanded the troops, Cai Zhongfu would not have time to hide, how could he go to war? ”

Hearing Liu Xian say this, Liu Du and Xing Daorong also smiled helplessly.

Liu Xian didn't even change his armor, he was still dressed as a scribe, dressed in cloth, wearing a scarf, a sword hanging from his waist, and sat on a yellow-maned horse. Behind him was a troop of soldiers and horses, and the leader of the army Sima followed closely behind him.

Coming to the front of the two armies, Liu Xian asked the military Sima to shout in front of the formation.

"The brothers in Changsha are very good! My son-in-law made an appointment to meet General Cai Zhong and invited General Cai Zhong to come and meet! Jun Sima shouted loudly.

When the guard heard that the other party was looking for Cai Zhong, he hurriedly ran inside to deliver the letter.

Cai Zhongzheng and Wang Wei quarreled to send troops to attack the city.

Suddenly, hearing the soldiers coming to report, Cai Zhong said to Wang Wei even more arrogantly: "See! Liu Du's son-in-law came to me personally! ”

After speaking, he ignored Wang Wei, walked out with a swagger, sorted out his armor, lit up two thousand soldiers and horses, and rushed out of the gate with a high spirit, and came to the front of the two armies.

He rode out and pointed at Liu Xian on the opposite side: "Ziyixian's nephew, don't come to harm?" ”

"General Cai is polite! I don't know what happened to General Cai's invasion of the border for no reason? Liu Xian asked.

Cai Zhong laughed, but I don't know what he said, and look at the next book to talk about it in detail!
