Chapter 741: Cai Mao's plan

Just when Cai Mao had a headache for Liu Biao's affairs, Zhao Fei and Cao Cao finally got together. As for what the Jingzhou army did, Cao Cao was somewhat confused. It stands to reason that the Cao army is attacking in a big way, and the Jingzhou army should do its best to resist the Cao army. But now, the hundreds of thousands of steps in Jingzhou actually did not have any symbolic resistance. Although Jingzhou's hundreds of thousands of steps have already been assembled and ready to standby, if the Cao army goes further, the Jingzhou army will take two steps back, and they obviously don't want to fight the Cao army.

And Zhao Fei obviously had some epiphany, the reason why the Jingzhou Army was like this was probably Cai Mao's attention. In history, after Liu Biao died, Cai Mao was in power in Jingzhou, and after Liu Biao died. Facing the tyrannical Cao Jun. Cai Mao finally chose to surrender, and all the hundreds of thousands of Jingzhou troops returned to Cao.

Zhao Fei was naturally very happy with such a result, the steps of the Jingzhou army were dispensable for Cao Jun, but the naval army of Jingzhou Army was particularly important to Cao Jun. Although Cao Jun had his own trained navy, he was a soldier who had never been on the battlefield. Moreover, the Cao army does not have excellent naval generals, neither has been on the battlefield, nor does it have excellent naval generals, how can such an army have combat effectiveness.

Due to the influence of the elite in Cao's army, Cao Cao's eyes were very nourished. He can't look down on ordinary combat effectiveness, how much combat effectiveness can a group of recruits who have not been baptized in battle have, with these soldiers, there is obviously no way to fight. For his own water army, Cao Cao didn't look down on it at all.

Cao Cao didn't look down on it, so Zhao Fei obviously didn't take Cao Jun's navy seriously. I still blame myself for this, although Cao Jun's sailors have been training, but they have not been baptized in actual combat, they are still new soldiers. There is a considerable gap between the navy and the army, for the foot, ordinary training can allow the soldiers to enter the battle, but for the navy is not so simple, there are many more things in it than in the infantry.

With such a naval army, not to mention defeating the elite Jiangdong Sun Clan's naval army, even against the Shangjingzhou naval army, Cao's army has no hope of victory. Therefore, the Jingzhou Navy is still very desirable, and the Jingzhou Navy is rich, with all kinds of large and small warships. And Cai Mao is a rare general of the navy, he has been dealing with the Jiangdong Sun clan for so many years, if he didn't have real skills, Jingzhou would have been annexed by the Jiangdong Sun clan a long time ago.

Moreover, what is particularly important is that if Cai Mao has no level, why should Zhou Yu try to get rid of him. The more threatening the person, the more important it is to get rid of it as soon as possible, and if this matter is replaced by Zhao Fei, Zhao Fei will do the same. Without Cai Mao and other Jingzhou generals, can Zhou Yu rest assured?

However, all of this is just Zhao Fei's conjecture, and it has not yet been confirmed that Cai Mao has the idea of defecting to Cao Jun, so Zhao Fei still does not dare to take it lightly. If this was just a trick by the Jingzhou army to lure the enemy, then if it was taken lightly, the Cao army would inevitably suffer a great defeat.

War is cruel, and before the war is over, no one knows what will happen to him. Although Cai Mao in history surrendered, due to his own intervention, today's history is plausible. Zhao Fei resolutely did not dare to take it lightly, for fear that the boat would capsize in the gutter.

Zhao Fei's caution obviously surprised Cao Jun's other strategists, and Guo Jia alone couldn't understand it if others didn't say it. Cai Mao's actions were very obvious, he didn't want to fight with Cao Jun, and wanted to make a good impression in front of Cao Cao. This is enough to prove that this person has the heart to vote.

According to the news from the spies, in Jingzhou, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao was terminally ill. At this time, Liu Biao only had one breath, he didn't even have the strength to get out of bed, and he had the ability to command the soldiers to fight. It can be said that as long as Liu Biao dies, then Cai Mao will inevitably be the only one in Jingzhou.

As for Liu Biao's son Liu Cong, he is nothing more than a meaningless victim in Guo Jia's eyes. Even if he really became the pastor of Jingzhou, he was just a puppet, and the real power was still in the hands of Cai Mao. In all fairness, Liu Biao is just a relatively independent puppet. And his son is obviously not even comparable to him, if Liu Cong really ascends the throne, his status will obviously not be much better than Emperor Xian in Xudu.

If Cai Mao wants to surrender, this is definitely good news for Cao Jun. easily occupied the rich land of Jingzhou, so Cao Jun's domination of the world was no longer empty words. Jingzhou is rich and has abundant grain and grass. With the support of these grains and grasses, Cao Jun has the ability to occupy the world in one fell swoop.

Cao Jun's soldiers are extremely elite, such elite soldiers, who can be defeated in the world. Looking at the remaining princes in the world, none of them are the opponents of Cao's army. Of course, this is talking about footsteps, if it is about the water army, Cao Jun obviously does not have an advantage congenitally. Whoever made the north all land, without many rivers.

Speaking of the water army, Guo Jia couldn't help but think of the Jiangdong Sun family, and Guo Jia was both shocked and regretful about the rise of the Sun family. Of course, there is some relief. To his astonishment, Sun Ce only relied on those thousands of soldiers and horses to conquer a huge Jiangdong. It is a pity that Sun Ce died of his injuries at a young age. And happily, Sun Ce died in the end, and he died young.

Sun Ce deserves the name of the hero, if the Sun family is still alive now, then he is definitely the biggest enemy of the lord to seize the world. There is an evenly matched enemy, and life will not feel more or less lonely. But if you really want to dominate the world, such an enemy should try not to appear.

However, although Sun Ce is dead, there is still a Sun Quan in Jiangdong today. Now I just don't know what kind of person this Sun Quan is. But I want this Jiangdong Sun family, father Sun Jian, Jiangdong Tiger! Brother Sun Ce, the little overlord! With these two people here, presumably Sun Quan will definitely be difficult to deal with.

If this is the case, then Cao Jun and Jiangdong Sun will inevitably meet each other. If he really fought with the Jiangdong Sun clan, Cao Jun's hundreds of thousands of elite feet would be useless. After all, the Jiangdong water system is developed, and the Sun family still has an extremely elite water army.

As for how to lead the naval army to fight, Guo Jia felt that his head was big. Although Guo Jia can lead the army to fight, Guo Jia obviously doesn't know anything about commanding the navy. Not to mention commanding the three armies, even if you board the warship, Guo Jia will feel top-heavy, let alone command the soldiers to fight.

Cao Jun continued to approach Xiangyang City in an orderly manner, and Cai Mao in Xiangyang City was obviously a little unable to sit still. He is the governor of Jingzhou, commanding more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou to resist Cao's army, and he has an unshirkable responsibility. But these days, he has been shrinking his line of defense and avoiding a fight.

This kind of move has caused dissatisfaction among most of the people in Jingzhou, if he continues like this, even if he has more than 100,000 Jingzhou soldiers, even if he is in power in Jingzhou, Cai Mao still needs the support of the people of Jingzhou, without the support of the people of Jingzhou, Cai Mao will not be able to move an inch.

However, if you send troops to fight with the Cao army, then how can you still surrender to the Cao army. Cao Jun is quite hostile to the family, if it is an ordinary general, Cai Mao can surrender. But he is the patriarch of the Cai clan, how can Cao Jun easily bypass himself and bypass the Cai family.

What is hateful is that Liu Biao has not yet swallowed his breath. As soon as she thought of this, Cai Mao's heart was faintly angry, if Liu Biao was angry at this moment, he would definitely not have these troubles again. At this moment, Cai Mao has decided to use some extreme measures.

Of course, you can't do it yourself at this time. As the saying goes, you just can't hold the fire, even if you are careful and cautious, but it is inevitable that someone will notice. However, Cai Mao already has an excellent candidate, this person is none other than Liu Biao's second son, Liu Cong.

Liu Cong has been in the excitement these days, and he has not paid any attention to his father's serious illness. In Liu Cong's view, Liu Biao's serious illness is his own opportunity. As long as Liu Biao dies, then Jingzhou will be his own territory. I don't have to be looked at by others anymore.

But the idea is indeed beautiful, but the reality is very cruel. Liu Biao has been lying on the bed for a long time, his body is getting weaker and weaker, but he still has not died. Every time he thought of this, Liu Cong felt a little hatred for Liu Biao. After all, if he had given the order earlier, he wouldn't have to.

Just when Liu Cong was helplessly sighing, his uncle's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Hearing that his uncle was coming, Liu Cong hurriedly won. He is not a fool, and he knows that if he wants to stabilize the position of this Jingzhou pastor, he needs the strong support of his uncle.

As long as he has the support of his uncle, then after he is really the lord of Jingzhou, he will definitely kill those who don't know what to do. If it weren't for them, he would have already sat on the status of the lord of Jingzhou.

Liu Cong welcomed Cai Mao into the house, and Liu Cong respected Cai Mao very much. Seeing Liu Cong's performance, Cai Mao showed a slightly disdainful expression. I think that Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao is also a prince, and he has some ability. It is said that the tiger father has no dogs, but looking at the present, in Liu Cong's place, Cai Mao can't see a glimmer of hope. If Jingzhou is really handed over to this person, I am afraid that it will not be long before the enemy army will still come to the city.

Therefore, it was quite a correct choice to decide to surrender to Cao Jun.

"I wonder why my uncle is here?" After Cai Mao sat down, Liu Cong asked.

Cai Mao looked at Liu Cong, and then said in a deep voice: "Why, I immediately became a pastor of Jingzhou, and I don't recognize my relatives." What else can I do here, of course, I came to see you! ”

Listening to Cai Mao's words, Liu Cong's heart was obviously a little happy. The original Cai Mao is high. But looking at it now, he used to have a time to keep his voice down.
