Chapter 745: Each has a reward
Seeing Xiangyang City not far away, Zhao Fei nodded with satisfaction, Xiangyang is worthy of being the seat of Jingzhou, but looking at the magnificent city gate and the towering city wall, you can see how rich Jingzhou is. Without strong economic power, it is clear that there would be no such achievements.
Looking at the towering walls of Xiangyang City, Zhao Fei's heart gave birth to a lot of emotion. If it wasn't Liu Biao who commanded Jingzhou, then Jingzhou would definitely be the most difficult enemy for Cao's army to deal with. After all, there are so many famous people in Jingzhou, and there are also many generals who have excellent martial arts and are good at commanding troops. If there is a man of great talent and strategy, then Jingzhou's toughness will definitely shock the people of the world, but fortunately, the ruling layer of Jingzhou does not have such a person.
Cai Mao surrendered, and Cao's army occupied Xiangyang City without much effort. The towering city wall is terrifying, such a magnificent city, even if the Jingzhou army defending the city has low combat effectiveness, if the Cao army wants to take Xiangyang, it must have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources. The walls alone are not easy to conquer.
But for now, none of this has to be worried. Because Xiangyang City has opened its gates, just wait for Cao Jun to enter the city. However, looking at Xiangyang City not far away, Zhao Fei's face slowly changed a little, Xiangyang City was taken as he wished, and he was afraid that the battle of Chibi would be held next.
Today's trend is not far from history, Cao's army attacked Jingzhou, and Cai Mao and his party surrendered. With more than 100,000 soldiers in Jingzhou, Cao's army became even more powerful. After stabilizing the situation in Jingzhou, Cao's army will inevitably march out and head straight to Jiangdong. When the time comes, whether the historical practice of burning Chibi will still occur, Zhao Fei is obviously not sure. Although he has changed a lot of history, he is still very powerless in the face of the general trend, take Liu Bei as an example.
However, Zhao Fei obviously will not give up easily, as the so-called matter is man-made, Zhao Fei will definitely prevent the Battle of Chibi from happening. He had a foresight, and he already knew the strategy of the Sun and Liu coalition forces. As long as the arrangements are properly made, it is obviously quite difficult to set fire to Chibi.
Outside Xiangyang City, Liu Cong led a group of officials of Xiangyang who were waiting for the arrival of Cao's army. On horseback, Liu Cong's heart was somewhat apprehensive. Although Kuai Liang came with good news, saying that Prime Minister Cao promised him that he would canonize himself as a assassin and even a marquis. But Liu Cong was still very worried, and it was difficult for his heart to settle down.
Looking at the dust raised in the distance, Liu Cong knew that Cao Cao's army was not far from Xiangyang City. As Cao's army approached, Liu Cong's heart was obviously even more worried. Cao Cao's army was still some distance away from him, but Liu Cong could already feel a trace of coldness from Cao Jun's body.
This is the real elite of a hundred battles, behind Liu Cong, Cai Mao couldn't help but sigh. Cai Mao is an excellent general, and he can naturally distinguish the difference between elite and ordinary soldiers. Cao Cao's army brought unparalleled pressure, which even a battle-hardened general could hardly bear.
At this time, Cai Mao felt very lucky, thanks to the fact that he chose to surrender, otherwise he would definitely be beaten by such an elite soldier without any temper. Unless he has ten times as many soldiers as Cao Jun under his command, otherwise, Cai Mao will definitely not choose to fight hard with Cao Jun.
Just when Cai Mao sighed, Cao Cao's army was already under the city. The forward of the Cao army stopped, and then Cai Mao saw countless soldiers of the Cao army arranging their troops. But obviously he didn't panic, after all, if it was himself, he wouldn't let down his vigilance easily.
However, Liu Cong obviously couldn't understand, and seeing that Cao Jun who was close at hand was preparing to attack, Liu Cong's face immediately turned pale. Obviously, he didn't know that he had already decided to surrender, but why did Cao's army prepare to attack. Liu Cong hurriedly turned his head to look at Cai Mao, he obviously didn't want to stay here anymore. Cao Jun is really terrible, and he puts a lot of pressure on himself from afar, and now that Cao Jun is so close, Liu Cong is even more at a loss.
"Cong'er doesn't need to worry, Cao Jun's move is also just in case, we surrender sincerely, Prime Minister Cao Cheng will definitely not embarrass me!" When Cai Mao saw Liu Cong's expression, she immediately knew what her nephew wanted to say. So before Liu Cong could speak, Cai Mao spoke first to comfort Liu Chong. And when Liu Cong heard Cai Mao say this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, looking at Liu Cong's pale face, it was obvious that he was frightened by Cao Jun. Seeing her nephew behaving like this, Cai Mao couldn't help but shake her head secretly. Seeing Liu Cong's courage, before he could do anything, he was already pale with fright. If Cao Jun really attacks, I'm afraid that Liu Cong will turn around and run.
Cao Jun was silent, and some of them had a penetrating murderous atmosphere. Looking at Cao Jun not far away, the faces of Jingzhou's big and small officials changed slightly. When had they ever seen such a murderous soldier in Xiangyang City. Looking at the majestic soldiers of the Cao Army, and thinking about the fact that they had tried to be the enemy of them, all the Jingzhou officials were emotional. Cao Jun is really strong, and if he is an enemy, he is afraid that he will become Cao Jun's prisoner. When that time really comes, what will happen to you......
Just when the big and small officials in Jingzhou were rejoicing, the Cao Jun camp on the opposite side suddenly changed a little. Cao Cao, Zhao Fei and others rode their horses to the front of the formation and looked towards Jingzhou City, which was not far away, Cao Cao and Zhao Fei immediately stepped forward and headed towards Jingzhou City. Behind Cao Cao and the others, Xu Chu Dianwei and the others took Cao Cao and Zhao Fei's guards to protect them. The more they arrived at this time, the more they were heartily careful, because neither knew what would happen in the future.
Zhao Fei and Cao Cao Ce immediately stepped forward, and Cai Mao hurriedly reminded Liu Cong and asked him to step forward. Although Liu Cong was a little afraid in his heart, he obviously knew his situation. Nodding, Liu Cong, Cai Mao, Kuailiang and the others greeted Cao Cao and Zhao Fei. However, compared with Cao Cao, Liu Cong and Cai Mao did not bring escorts.
When the two parties met, Liu Cong, Cai Mao and others immediately turned over and bowed to Cao Cao, Zhao Fei and others. Cao Cao accepted it with a smile on his face, while Zhao Fei looked at Cai Mao at this time. After all, Cai Mao is also a rare talent, and he is also a naval talent that Cao Jun is extremely lacking.
Cai Mao obviously felt Zhao Fei's gaze, and looked at Zhao Fei with a slightly humble look. Cai Mao obviously knows who this person is, and he can be only half a body wrong with Cao Cao, this person must be Cao Cao's confidant and strategist, and Zhao Fei, the current captain of the Han Dynasty, is also.
For Zhao Fei, Cai Mao seemed to have a different idea in her heart. Not for anything else, just because his surname is Cai, and Zhao Fei's wife is also surnamed Cai. Although the two have the same surname, they are very different. But it cannot be denied that the Cai family in Jingzhou does have a relationship with Cai Zhen, although this relative is a little distant.
Zhao Fei looked Cai Mao up and down, but didn't find anything unusual, and then withdrew his eyes. And Cai Mao obviously knew that this was not the time to recognize relatives, so he didn't rush forward to talk to Zhao Fei. Now he still needs to deal with Cao Cao, and he still needs to look at Liu Cong a little more.
However, judging from the situation just now, Liu Cong's performance is basically satisfactory to Cai Mao. After all, these have already been practiced, and for fear that Liu Cong will have any accidents, Cai Mao has already started training Liu Cong. Seeing the atmosphere in front of her, Cai Mao was still very satisfied with her foresight.
Accompanied by Liu Cong and Cai Mao, Cao Cao and Zhao Fei entered Xiangyang City. Liu Cong and Cai Mao followed behind Cao Cao and Zhao Fei, and next to them, Dian Wei and Xu Chu rode horses side by side. Dian Wei and Cai Mao are very close, as long as there is an emergency, Dian Wei and Xu Chu can capture Cai Mao and Liu Cong as soon as possible.
Looking at Dian Wei beside him, Cai Mao felt a little chill down his spine. Cao Jun is really able to produce many people, Dian Wei Xu Chu's majestic body contains power, I am afraid that if someone moves his fingers, his life will end up here. Taking a deep breath, Cai Mao controlled herself not to look at Dian Wei.
Cai Mao is like this, so Liu Cong is even more unbearable. But fortunately, Liu Cong was on horseback. If it was underground, Liu Cong was afraid that his feet would be weak and he would sit on the ground at this moment.
In this way, Cao Cao and Zhao Fei finally came to Jingzhou Mu's mansion. Looking at the very glorious Jingzhou Pastoral Mansion, Zhao Fei had to sigh here, Jingzhou is really rich. A Jingzhou Mu's mansion is so luxuriously decorated, if it is changed to the Cai family's house, I am afraid it will be even more amazing.
Entering the Jingzhou Mu Mansion, Cao Cao naturally sat on the main seat. Zhao Fei was in the second seat, while Liu Cong and Cai Mao no one dared to sit. The two of them were on top of the main hall, waiting anxiously for Cao Cao's arrangement for themselves.
"As the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, you wait for the surrender of the city, which is naturally a great achievement. I, Cao Cao, am not that stingy person, if you make such a great contribution, I will naturally have a reward! After a moment of silence, Cao Cao said loudly.
"What I promised, of course, will not be untrue. Liu Cong stepped forward to stop the seal, and I will seal you as the assassin of Jingzhou and the marquis! Cao Cao stared at Liu Cong and said. And Liu Cong was obviously overjoyed, he stepped forward, knelt on the ground and thanked him loudly: "Thank you Prime Minister for your appreciation!" ”
Cao Cao nodded and motioned for Liu Cong to get up. Then Cao Cao turned his head to look at Cai Mao, muttered for a moment, and then said: "I know the method of cultivating and training the navy, and if our army wants to take Jiangdong in the south, the navy is naturally indispensable. In this way, I will appoint you as the governor of the Zhennan Hou Water Army, and take charge of the water army for me. In a few days, our army will go south to Jiangdong, and then we will see you Deju! ”
Cai Mao is obviously very pleased, although there is a difference between the metropolitan governor and the naval governor, his status is obviously quite prominent. Since he had to fight against the Jiangdong Naval Army, his importance was naturally reflected. It can be said that Cao Cao is very satisfied with his reward Cai Mao.
Cai Mao hurriedly bowed down and bowed, and then said loudly: "Thank you Prime Minister for your appreciation, the Prime Minister treats me so kindly, I will do my best to help the Prime Minister train a good navy!" ”
