Chapter 27: Layout (2)
Shi said that since Cao Cao entered Jingzhou, the transfer of power to the wealthy families in Jingzhou has almost been the Deng team... The world was turned upside down, and many officials who originally relied on Liu Biao's power were demoted one after another, and most of them were replaced by people trusted by Cao Cao, and only some insignificant officials survived.
Of course, it is impossible for Cao Cao to demote all the officials in the center of power, such as the Cai family and the Jing family, not so much that Cao Cao values their strength, but their reputation in Jingzhou, and wants to keep them for the time being, appease Jingzhou, as for the future."
Isn't there a saying, Ming Shengbei is secretly degraded, and after a few years, the famous Cai family and Jing family have gone through a series of "promotions." After that, it is not impossible to lie in one place and wait for death in vain.
Therefore, after the change in Jingzhou, Cai Mao immediately showed favor to Jiang Zhe and threw himself into Jiang Zhe through family affection; On the other hand, Fang Yue was not as arrogant as his brother, and Jiang Zhe "signaled" a little at the beginning. After that, he advocated moving closer to Jiang Zhe.
After hearing that Cai Mao was actually related to Jiang Zhe's nephew and uncle, therefore, when he visited, he regarded himself as a student, who said that Cao Cao had not yet arrived in Jingzhou at that time, and Jiang Zhe dominated the power of life and death?
In order to prevent the Ke family from gradually falling outside the center of power, the Cai family is dominant.
Let's not say whether it works for the time being, but Jiang Zhe did reuse Jing Yue and Fang Liang, and asked them to take charge of Jingzhou's government affairs.
At the same time, Jiang Zhe naturally couldn't forget Cai Mao, the "nephew" reused Cai Mao to control the water army on the one hand, and asked the Cai family to supervise the side family and take a balanced way.
After all, Jia Xu believes that even if the two families joined forces to join forces to join forces at the beginning, the affection can be described as not shallow, but at the moment, the two may no longer be able to join forces.
Although it is the Fang family and the Cai family who are jointly managing the affairs of Jingzhou at the moment, who can see that the side family does not have the slightest military power in their hands, and it is Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, Cai He and other Cai family members who are in charge of military power.
stone
It's not on the same line, so how can the two join forces? I'm afraid that most of what the Cai family thinks about is slowly overheading Jing Liang and Side Yue, so that the family is dominant, right?
Now that the mustard has been born, how can the two families reconcile as before?
This was Jia Xu's suggestion to Jiang Zhe at the beginning.
After clearly explaining to Jiang Zhe, Jiang Zhe was still a little worried, in his mind, even if he had great power now, how could Cai Mao fight against Jing Liang and the two brothers?
In this regard, Jia Xu smiled and said, "That's not likely! ”
Indeed, Jiang Zhe underestimated Cai Mao, after all, in history, Cai Mao was killed by Zhou Yu with a divisive strategy before he voted for Cao Cao, but what happened?
Speaking of Cai Mao's ability, he is just good at commanding the navy, but among the huge Jingzhou, how can no one compare to him? But in Liu Biao's heart. Cai Mao is one of the people he trusts the most.
Cai Mao is sleek, good at speculation and flattery.
I have to say that this speculation and flattery is also a university question."
Two or three months ago, Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, died of illness, and Cao Ren, the commander of the Cao army, commanded 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xinye, and Liu Bei of Xinye asked Cai Mao for help, and at this time. Officials and generals in Jingzhou advocated resistance to Cao, and even Fang Yue was the same.
At the beginning, Cai Mao only had the military power of 80,000 sailors in his hands, and his brother Cai Zhong and Cai He combined the military power in their hands, only 20,000 or 30,000, that is to say, there were still nearly half of the troops, in the hands of the generals who advocated resisting Cao, among them, Jing Liang, the brother of Fang Yue. He also had 20,000 or 30,000 troops in his hands.
After calculating the gains and losses, Cai Mao first went to Jing's house to persuade Jing Liang and Fang Yue, and asked the two to join him in Cao.
After all, since the confrontation between Yuan and Cao, whether it is Jingzhou or Jiangdong, it is almost just to sit back and watch Cao Cao's defeat and Yuan Shao's success, who would have expected that it would be Cao Cao who won in the end?
"If you don't win, it's better not to fight!" This is Cai Mao's original words to persuade Jing Yue and Fang Liang.
When Jing Liang and Fang Yue hesitated, Cai Mao lied to the two and said: This time the Cao army is coming, although it is rumored that Cao Ren is in charge of the army. Actually, it's Jiang Zhe!
When Jing Liang and Fang Yue heard this, they were even more hesitant in their hearts.
As early as two years ago, Jiang Zhe sent troops to Wancheng, Liu Biao led more than 100,000 out of Xiangyang, after several battles, but not a single victory, you know, in the hands of Jiang Zhe, only 30,000 or 40,000.
With an abundance of 30,000 or 40,000 enemies, he still can't win, let alone Jiang Zhe's 200,000 troops? Don't look at the disdain for Jiang Zhe in his mouth, but in his heart, he is deeply jealous, who told him to lose both battles in Jiang Zhe's hands?
As a result, the Jing family followed Cai Mao's meaning, and the side family followed, and the rest was naturally much simpler.
Under the pretext of defending Jingxiang, Cai Mao gathered Jingzhou soldiers and horses and stationed in Xiangyang, many generals were invited by Cai Mao to drink in their own mansion after entering Xiangyang.
In the early days, there were many disobedient generals in Jingzhou, but when I heard that within a few days, Cao Cao broke through Xinye and fought "Jiang." When the banner besieged Greedy City, they obeyed Cai Mao one by one.
Therefore, Cai Mao has more than 100,000 troops and 100,000 sailors in Jingzhou!
Jiang Zhe did take Jingzhou without blood, but in the end, it was Cai Mao who was secretly "contributing"
Flattery, I'm afraid this is a not very pretty. However, there are many people in Jingzhou who put this on Cai Mao's head.
can pick up the truth, Cai Mao is a little "wronged", he didn't give Jiang Zhe a gift or anything.
Cai Mao is very smart, well, it should be said that he is very cunning, as soon as he saw Jiang Zhe, he understood that the person in front of him was obviously not something that could be bought with money, and he went to give gifts, but would disgust this person.
Therefore, Cai Mao only dialed a not luxurious mansion called Jiang Zhe to live, and it was not a gift during the period, and other families in Jingzhou secretly stuffed money with money, and visited the "Jiang Mansion" in Xiangyang City, when Cai Mao played the family card, while explaining to Jiang Zhe the reason for Cai Yi and the Cai family in Jingzhou, while calling his sister Mrs. Cai, selected some jewelry, and personally wrote a letter to the second lady of Xudu Situ Jiangfu, Cai Yan, and the selected jewelry is not to choose the precious texture, but to choose the rare, exquisite handmade.
After Jiang Zhe learned about this, it was not good to ask Cai Mao to return the person who sent the letter, after all, it was not given to him, so he only gave him a verbal warning, but afterwards, after Jia Xu learned about it, he secretly paid attention to Cai Mao.
"Although Cai Mao is a villain, she is clever and sleek, and she is a talent!" This is Jia Xu's evaluation of Cai Mao.
In the matter of casting Cao, it can almost be said that Cai Mao took advantage of Fang Yue and Fang Liang, and in the end, he almost kicked the two of them down, in this matter, it was Fang Liang who suffered, and the 20,000 or 30,000 troops in his hands were eliminated, on the other hand, Cai Mao was justifiably in charge of more than 100,000 water troops, and he sat on the position of the governor of the water army.
In the final analysis, Cai Mao is not a brave and unscrupulous horseman, and Cai Mao is much smarter than his two brothers......
On that day, Cai Mao and his brother Cai Zhong Cai He were discussing how to improve their tactics against Zhou Yu. But suddenly he heard a report from outside the tent, saying that someone outside the camp was asking to see the governor.
Because people from the Cai family often come to report the situation in Xiangyang, Cai Mao didn't care, after all, compared to Jing Liang, Cai Mao wanted his brother Shabu Yue, and now his brother is leading the army, so it's not good for the Shabu family to make some small moves in secret, Cai Mao is very scared of this.
With a wave of his hand, he called the soldiers outside the tent to summon people in, and Cai Mao continued to discuss with his brother and several other confidant generals.
However, as soon as the incense was burned, the guards outside the tent led the people who asked to see them in, three.
At a glance, Cai Mao was a little surprised, he obviously felt that these three people were too blind, and they didn't seem to be from his Cai family, frowning, Cai Mao asked intently, "Why are you waiting?" ”
I saw the three of them dressed as ordinary domestic servants, and the leader looked left and right, and saw that there were many people in the tent, and said in a low voice, The little one has something important to tell the governor, and he also retreated left and right,"
"Du Du" Cai Mao's eyes immediately lit up, and he suddenly wondered in his heart, the person who came actually called himself the Du Du, I'm afraid it's not his Cai family, is it the Shabu family?
The left and right generals didn't know where to go, and when they saw this situation, they all clasped their fists and laughed, "Since the governor has something, the last general will wait for the time being..."
Puzzled, Cai Mao shook her head and said, "You are all people Cai Mao trusts, why bother so much." As he spoke, he raised his hand to the three men and said, "What the hell is the matter, come!" ”
"This" I saw that the leading man hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Governor, this matter is very important, or"
"Tsk!" Cai Mao was a little impatient, and was about to speak, but saw that the generals in the tent said with a smile, "Don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed, since it's an important matter, we should be forced to retreat."
"This" is okay, you will be outside the tent later, second brother, you wait for me to say hello! ”
"Yes, brother!" Cai Zhong beckoned the generals to retreat.
Seeing that the rest of the people had withdrawn from the tent, Cai Mao glanced at the three people, and there was only the third brother Cai He beside him.
"What the hell, let's not come one by one!"
"No!" I saw the leader clenching his fists, suddenly took out a letter from his arms, and said in a low voice, "Governor, this matter is written on this letter one by one, and the governor will know it when you see it!" ”
Cai Mao glanced at the third brother Cai He, Cai He understood, stepped forward to take the letter and took a rough look, but saw that there was no indication on the envelope, and he secretly felt strange in his heart, but he didn't care much, turned around and handed the letter to his brother.
When the three saw that the letter was in Cai Mao's hands, they immediately left.
Seeing that these people seemed to be a little urgent, Cai Mao was very surprised in her heart, waved her hand and allowed them, telling them to retreat while opening the letter.
Tearing open the seal and pulling out the letter, Cai Mao only glanced at it a few times, but his eyes were full of doubts, but looking at it, he seemed to suddenly think of something, his face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed, "Third brother." Hurry up and call the people outside the tent to enter! ”
"Huh?" Cai He was stunned and said with a puzzled expression. "Who is the person who sent the letter to the eldest brother like this?"
"Hugh wants to ask, go quickly!" Cai Mao drank heavily.
Seeing Cai Mao angry, Cai He didn't dare to delay. Immediately rushed out of the tent, and asked the generals who remained outside the tent to enter.
When the generals walked into the tent with a puzzled face, Cai Mao immediately passed the letter to everyone, and he faintly felt that he seemed to be being calculated.
Really......
It was only half a cup of tea before and after, Cai Mao and the others suddenly heard a commotion in the camp, Cai He was stunned, walked out of the tent and asked the patrol sergeant, "What's the noise in the camp?" ”
"It seems that General Li (Dian) captured several Koto Hosaku"
Cai He was still turning the corner, and was about to ask again, when suddenly a question came from behind him, "How do you know that it is Jiangdong Xizuo?" It turned out that Cai Mao was faintly uneasy and chased out of the account.
The three people seemed to be surrounded by General Li, knowing that it was difficult to escape for their lives, and committed suicide by taking poison, General Li took out three sharp blades from the three people, which were engraved with the words "Zhou, personal guard." The three words "this, the small one is also what I have just heard, if the governor wants to ask the truth, it is better to ask General Li" The uncle replied uncertainly.
"Bad" Cai Mao's face turned pale and pale, and he waved his hand to ask the team of soldiers to continue patrolling, and he returned to the tent.
The generals in the tent saw that Cai Mao's face was not good, and they didn't know what was going on, so they wanted to get up and leave, but Cai Mao shouted to stop them. work
"Don't go, you will have to work for Cai to testify!"
"Proven?" The generals looked at each other for a while.
Yes, witness!
Cai Mao casually placed the letter in a conspicuous place on the desk, sat down, and couldn't help but ooze beads of sweat on her head.
If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid it is,"
Touching a cup of tea, there was silence in the tent, and suddenly, there was a slight commotion outside the tent, or someone called. "I'll see my lord!"
Lord? Cai Mao was shocked, immediately got up, ran to the tent, and caught a glimpse of a person striding towards him out of the corner of his eye. hurriedly shouted, "The last general, Cai Mao, have seen the lord!" ”
Someone came, sure enough, it was Cao Cao, but when he heard Cai Mao's call, he was stunned, slowed down, and said with a smile, "How do you know that I want to go?" ”
I don't understand what Cao Cao is thinking at this moment, Cai Mao naturally didn't dare to reply nonsense, secretly glanced at the person behind Cao Cao, and saw that Jiang Zhe was still among them, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and reluctantly said, "Where, the last general also heard the voice outside the tent, and then I knew, lord, please!" ”
"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded, strode into the tent, and when he saw the generals in the tent, the suspicion in his eyes flashed.
"The last general has seen the lord!" The tent will clasp their fists and salute.
Compare. ten thousand
"No need to be polite" Cao Cao smiled, slowly walked to the main seat and sat down, waved his hand and said, "I am also idle, I want to discuss with General Cai" As he was speaking, Cao Cao suddenly glanced at the letter on the table, his eyes narrowed, and he raised his head and said with a smile, "Why, you are all here?" ”
"That's right, lord," Cai Mao walked quickly. Holding his fists and saying, "I was tricked by Zhou Yu to win a battle today, so I will wait here to discuss and think about what kind of strategy I can use to deal with the Jiangdong Navy."
"Oh" Cao Cao smiled noncommittally and said lightly, "So, what did you discuss?" ”
Immediately, Cai Mao's face showed a little embarrassment, and he said, "This,"
Perverse! With a light snort, Cao Cao beckoned to Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia, and Xun You who were standing at the mouth of the tent, and said with a smile, "Shouyi, filial piety, and Gongda, sit, and listen to the opinions of my naval generals."
Guo Jia smiled and stepped forward with Xun You, but saw Jiang Zhe standing in place and said with a smile, "In this matter, it is reasonable to avoid suspicion."
"What did Shouyi say," Cao Cao laughed. Suddenly restrained his smile, looked at Cai Mao Zhengse and said, "Dejia, Fang Cai Mancheng captured three Jiangdong Xiaozuo in the camp, and the camp trained and cooperated, these two people are old from your account, what is your justification for this." ,
Really!
I saw Cai Mao's heart startled, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Lord Qiqi, these three people don't know each other." Originally, I said that I was from the Cai family, but I didn't expect it."
"I didn't expect it to be Koto Hosaku, right? What did they do when they come to your tent? Cao Cao smiled faintly, and suddenly looked at Jiang Zhe at the mouth of the tent and said helplessly, "Shouyi, sit and sit!" ”
Shaking his head, Jiang Zhe stepped forward, sat down with Guo Jia and Xun You, and glanced up at Cai Mao.
It's very strange, being looked at by Jiang Zhe, Cai Mao settled down, thought about it slightly, and said respectfully with his fists, "Lord Qiqi, those three people came to deliver the letter, and it was the one on the case."
"Oh?. Cao Cao reached out and took the letter. After a rough look, his brows furrowed, and he said with a smile, "Who sent a letter to you, who was so careless." Sent a draft? ”
"Lord Qi" Cai Mao hugged his fists and saluted, and said with a straight face, "This letter will not be deleted at the end. In this matter, everyone in the account can make a voucher! ”
seems to understand Cai Mao's sentence: "I will work later, and the generals will be a witness for Cai." The meaning of the generals, the generals said, "Lord, this matter is very true, although we are out of the account, but only half a cup of tea, General Cai asked us to enter the account, the letter is transmitted, and at the same time also ask us to wait for the ink in the letter, obviously not just modified, I hope the Lord will see it!" ”
"Oh? How could this be? Cao Cao glanced up at Cai Mao, and was surprised in his heart, and Jiang Zhe on the side also secretly praised, well done!
However, just as Cai Mao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly a sneer came from the tent.
"You are Cai Mao's henchmen, who knows if you are deliberately covering up."
Cai Mao turned back suddenly, but saw Mi Heng standing there, sneering, obviously to avenge the original arrow.
"The lord is clear, the eldest brother is extremely loyal to the lord,"
"Lord, if we have a false word, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"
"Lord Mingjian!"
As soon as Mi Heng said that, Cai Zhong, Cai He and the generals in the tent were anxious and opened their mouths to defend themselves.
"Hahaha". Cao Cao laughed, and said with a smile, "They are all the generals of our army, shouting and shouting, what kind of system is it?" I know about this, except for the frog, you wait and retreat! ”
"This" is! Including Cai He and Cai He, the generals in the tent hesitated to retreat, leaving only Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Jiang Zhe, Xun You, and Cai Mao in the tent, as well as Jia Xu, Mi Heng, and Sima Yi standing at the mouth of the tent.
Glancing at Cai Mao, Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, he actually lit the letter on the lamp, only to see the slowly burning letterhead, and said with a light smile, "It seems that whether I underestimate you, even that Zhou Yu." It's you, too! As he spoke, he threw away the burning letter in his hand.
Secretly swallowed his saliva, Cai Mao didn't know the meaning of Cao Cao's words, so he didn't dare to deal with it indiscriminately, and clasped his fists and whispered, "The last general is loyal, heaven and earth can be learned, and I hope the lord will see it clearly!" ”
"You don't have to be so restrained" Cao Cao smiled brightly, beckoned Cai Mao to take a seat, and then said with a sneer, "Then Zhou Yu wanted to make a divisive plan, but he underestimated you." Interesting! Saying that, Cao Cao looked at Jiang Zhe, and asked in a little surprise, "Shouyi, you seem to be related to Dejia, why didn't you defend him?"
I saw Jiang Zhe shaking his head and said lightly, "This matter is obvious, why bother to defend it?"
"That's right!" Cao Cao laughed, seeing that Cai Mao was still a little worried, he said with a smile. "Don't worry, with your relationship with righteousness here, how can I be suspicious of you? Hum! I don't want Zhou Yu'er to use such a shallow plan to hurt the general of our army, if it is hateful! ”
I looked left and right. Xun Yu said, "My lord." According to the following opinion, for General Cai, I am afraid that Zhou Gongjin was also very jealous. Therefore, the design is divided, and according to the following opinion, you may wish to calculate it
"Will it be calculated?" Cao Cao stroked his beard as if he had gained something, but he saw Guo Jia in the tent and said with a smile. "What does Gongda mean is that he obeyed Zhou Yu's wishes and cut General Cai?"
Although it was explained that knowing was a plan, Cai Mao's heart still skipped a beat, and she secretly glanced at Jiang Zhe and saw that he was comforting herself with his eyes. sighed in my heart: If it weren't for some family affection with this person, I'm afraid"
Indeed, in history, Cai Mao was a person who had no Cao Cao's trust to intercede for him, and was killed by Zhou Yu's design. And right now, even if Cao Cao is deceived by Zhou Yu for a while, he must take Jiang Zhe into account, besides, Cao Cao himself is not a scheming person, after a few thoughts, where can he not understand?
"However, if it's such a simple plan, I'm afraid I can't hide it from Zhou Yu, right?" Sima Yi interjected, and Mi Heng beside him also sneered and said, "If Zhou Yu is so unwise, how can he be the governor of the capital?" ”
"Ahem!" Jia Xun coughed, frowned and looked at Mi Heng, and said. "In my opinion, it is better to use the excuse of the war letter, send a person as an envoy, and go to the camp of Zhou Yu in Chibi, I think Zhou Yu must have a follow-up move, and when I pretend to be in the middle of the plan, I will behead Cai Dudu on the charge of collaborating with the enemy to show the public, and I heard about it. Zhou Yu must be very happy to use soldiers, and when he is negligent, I will wait,"
"Brilliant plan!" Guo Jia glanced at Cai Mao, who was sweating profusely, and said with a smile, "What Jia Changshi said is deeply in line with my wishes, since Zhou Yu wants to use the discord strategy, I might as well push the boat down the river." He handful".
In addition to Cai Mao's laughter, everyone in the tent praised him one after another, and was about to discuss who would be the envoy, but he heard Mi Heng say coldly, "Why don't you call me an envoy!" ”
"You're an envoy?" Sima Yi's eyes widened, and he seized the opportunity to mock and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go back!" ”
"Humph!" Mi Heng snorted coldly. Xun Yu pondered for a long time, and suddenly turned his head to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, according to my opinion, there is one person who is suitable!" ”
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and asked in a condensed voice, "Who?"
Compare. ten thousand
"Jiang Ziyi!" work
Jiang Ziyi? Why is it so familiar? Jiang Zhe looked at Xun Yu with a little surprise, but saw him and said eloquently, "It is rumored that this person has some friendship with Zhou Yu, and he used to call each other friends in the past, so the lord might as well use an excuse to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender and let him go to Zhou Yu's camp in Chibi." I think Zhou Yu will inevitably be".
Cao Cao thought slightly, stroked his palm and said, "Good! That's it! ”
Convince Zhou Yu to surrender? Jiang Ziyi? Could it be Jiang Gan?
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly in his heart.
Speaking of Jiang Gan, Jiang Zhe also had a relationship in the past, this person is famous for his eloquence, and he is not a fool who does not learn and has no skills, but is very knowledgeable.
It is rumored that this person and Zhou Yu have been classmates since childhood, and they are omnipotent in piano, chess, and calligraphy, and they are already familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics.
In terms of courage, this person took the initiative to ask Ying when the two armies faced off and Zhou Yu killed Cao Cao's envoy, and drove a Ye Bian boat to say that the governor of Eastern Wu, who had surrendered tens of thousands of troops.
However, in the end, he can also be a fool and have an empty stomach of learning. But I didn't use the idea at all, and I did everything I could to give pillows for others to doze off... In general, he finally buried Cao Wei's 800,000 soldiers and horses
But right now, this person is extremely suitable, as soon as this confused fool is gone, then Zhou Yu will be overjoyed!
That night, in Cai Mao's tent, Cao Cao consulted with everyone, and the next day he sent an order to Jingzhou to transfer Jiang Gan.
After Cao Cao's order, Jiang Gan was naturally overjoyed, and he took a boy to drive a small boat to look at Chibi without knowing it, where would he know that at the same time as Zhou Yu began to lay out, Cao Cao and others also began to lay out,
,
Indeed, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun made Zhou Yu very jealous!
Although Cao Cao's strategists, Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia, Xun You and others are all strategists who are unique in a hundred miles. But on top of the water war, the three of them are not very good, even if the resourcefulness is high, so what?
Guo Jia, who was well-known far and near, led 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jiangdong from the east, but asked Gan Ning to drive only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to block the Yangtze River, and he could not advance an inch.
Jiang Zhe, who is famous all over the world, although he has 400,000 soldiers and horses, he can't cross the river even a single step.
In Zhou Yu's eyes, in terms of threats, no matter how famous Jiang Zhe and Guo Jia are, I am afraid that they are not as good as Cai Mao and Zhang Yun at the moment.
As long as these two people can be removed, Zhou Yu is eighty percent sure that he can defeat Cao Jun!
However, Zhou Yu didn't know that Cai Mao and Jiang Zhe were related, counting that Cao Cao was deceived for a while, he would also look at Jiang Zhe's face and leave Cai Mao's life, at least, Cao Cao would give Jiang Zhe an explanation.
Pity. Zhou Yu didn't know,,
At the beginning of September, the four Jian'an seemed to be similar to the history, Jiang Gan led a boy and drove a small boat to Zhou Yu's camp, one was to give Zhou Yu a war letter, and the other was to say that Zhou Yu was surrendered.
After hearing that Jiang Gan was coming, Zhou Yu was really overjoyed, and even if he discussed with the generals to borrow Jiang Gan's mouth, Cai Mao's suspicion of collaborating with the enemy was confirmed.
After all, only by a vague letter. Zhou Yu also didn't believe that Cao Cao would be tricked to kill Cai Mao.
Sure enough, Jiang Gan really fell for the plan, carrying a letter from "Cai Mao, written by Zhou Yu, escaped from the Chibi military camp at night and returned to Hanyang to tell Cao Cao."
On September 6, when Jiang Gan informed Cao Cao of Cai Mao's collaboration with the enemy, Cao Cao was "furious" and immediately ordered Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, Cai He, and Zhang Yun to be "beheaded." Hanging above the gate, as for the water army, Cao Cao called Yu Ban and Xiahou Dun to command.
Hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and then began to deal with Cao Jun's affairs, how would he know that at the moment, Cai Mao and others were sitting in Jiang Zhe's tent drinking alive."
In this era when information dissemination is not easy, Zhou Yu can only rely on meticulous work and scouts, how can those meticulous works and scouts dare to approach Cao Ying? In this way, the authenticity of the head hanging on the gate is naturally unknown.
On the other hand, Cao Cao, Jiang Zhe and others were also extremely cautious in handling this matter.
Cao Cao did order the whole camp to "Cai Mao." One of them was beheaded, this was suggested by Jiang Zhe, after all, if you want to deceive Zhou Yu, you must first deceive your own people.
In addition to Guo Jia, Xun You, Jia Xu and other strategists, I am afraid that only Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, Cao Hong and other confidants who were born and died beside Cao Cao learned about this, other than that. There are only Cai Mao's henchmen.
As for Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, Cai He and others, they temporarily acted as Jiang Zhe's personal guards, put on a suit of armor, and did not come out of Jiang Zhe's side for a long time, where did outsiders still recognize Cai Mao and others?
From mid-September to the end of October, Cao's army was uncharacteristically unconventional and could not be held.
During this period, Zhou Yu led the water army to Hanyang Cao army outside the water plug to fight, Xiahou and Yu Ban obeyed Cao Cao's orders and led the water army to fight, and they were defeated by Zhou Yu in one face.
Also, Xiahoudun and Yu Ban are both cavalry generals, where will the navy be dispatched?
The commands that were passed on were almost full of loopholes. Therefore, Zhou Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly ordered to slow down the offensive, pretended to be invincible, and fought with Xiahoudun without a victory or defeat, and ended hastily.
"Cao Cao used Xiahoudun and Yu Ban to command the two horses, and he will definitely lose his 400,000 soldiers and horses!" After returning to Chibi, Zhou Yu laughed with Jiang Qin, Ling Cao and other generals.
Subsequently, Zhou Yu began to calculate Zhuge Liang, no, it should be said that he was calculating Liu Bei!
Liu Bei, who was stationed on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and Liu Gou, who was stationed in Xiakou, had soldiers and horses under their command together, and there were still 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Zhou Yu was the governor of Eastern Wu. Naturally, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace and seek war as early as possible.
After all, if Cao Cao is defeated in this battle, Jingzhou may be at his fingertips, but Liu Bei has a lot of fame in Jingzhou, not to mention that Liu Yan is the son of Liu Biao, and the soldiers and civilians of Jingzhou naturally have a heart for the two.
can
Where is Dump Yu willing to marry someone else?
According to his scheme, it is best for Liu Bei and Liu Yan to die together in the war against Cao, which is beneficial to Jiangdong!
How can one mountain accommodate two tigers?
I have to say that Zhou Yu was thinking a little too far,"
Yes, it's too far, Cao Cao, and he won't necessarily be defeated!
,
"Cai Mao. waited for the heads of others to hang in Cao Junyuanmen for more than a month, just because Cao Cao, Jiang Zhe and others were afraid that Zhou Yu would not know about it. work
Not to mention anything else, every time Cai Mao sees those air-dried heads, she feels cold behind her, Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, Cai He and others, all of them are like this.
When Cao Cao ordered those heads to be removed, Cai Mao and the others really breathed a sigh of relief,
Thanks to Zhou Yu, Cai Mao has been Jiang Zhe's personal guard for more than a month, and he has become closer and closer to Jiang Zhe.
And Jiang Zhe gradually understood that Cai Mao is indeed a "good subordinate", who is good at observing words and feelings, and judging the situation. It can be said that he is brave and strategic, compared to some generals in Cao's army, he is not at all bad, but he is not the insignificant villain in history.
Zhang Yun is the same, this person is now pretending to be Xiahou Xuan's personal guard, Ming is Xiahou Xuan's order, secretly, it is Zhang Yun, under the condition that Zhou Yu does not know, secretly practicing the navy.
Cao Cao handed over the matter of Cao Jun's serial ships to Jiang Zhe and Xun You, but it was not an easy task to connect the warships of 400,000 people with iron cables, not to mention that Jiang Zhe had other plans.
One day, Jiang Zhe took Cai Mao and Zhao Yun to supervise the process."
After seeing the so-called serial ship, Cai Mao persuaded in a low voice, "Uncle, although this method is conducive to the soldiers of our army in the north to board the ship to fight, it really has great drawbacks."
"I know you're worried" Looking into the distance, Jiang Zhe frowned and said, "Are you afraid that Jiangdong will use fire?" ”
"Exactly!" Cai Mao nodded, pointed to the warships in the distance and said solemnly, "Thousands of warships are connected to one place, if Jiangdong attacks with fire, I'm afraid it will be out of control,"
"I know about it." Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, suddenly seemed to see something, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and concentrated
"Since Zhou Yu doesn't need to offer "serial boats", wouldn't he be sorry for him? Hum! Wait for me to call him and Zhuge Kongming to see, what is a serial boat! ”
Zhao Yun, who was beside him, naturally caught a glimpse of what Jiang Zhe had drawn on the paper in his hand, and smiled slightly.
At the same time, Sima Yi was quite idle to patrol the camp,
It is said that it is quite leisurely, but in fact, it is just self-deception, and the current Sima Yi can almost be said to be useless.
The strategy for dealing with the combined forces of Sun and Liu has been formulated, that is to say, Sima Yi and Mi Heng are no longer needed, of course, Jia Xu naturally has something to do, after all, he is Jiang Zhe's most trusted subordinate civil official.
And as Jia Xu's trusted Mi Heng, there are more or less things to do, but Sima Yi, I'm sorry, Jia Xu is always guarding against this person, and Jia Xu never asked Sima Yi to handle important matters. And Sima Yi disdains to do those trivial things.
Over time, looking at the generals in the camp, down to the soldiers, everyone was busy with the war, and Sima Yi felt very uncomfortable.
Whether it is Jiang Zhe who holds the book of heaven in his hand. is still the scheming Jia Xu, which makes Sima Yi very jealous in his heart.
Although in Cao Cao's eyes, Sima Yi is no longer an insignificant little person, but compared to Jia Xu, he is still a step behind, not to mention Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia, Xun You and other Cao Cao's confidants.
"This battle. I'm afraid it's nine times out of ten, but I "alas! ”
Shaking his head, Sima Yi walked in the camp carelessly, only feeling depressed in his heart.
Knowing this, he might as well fight him, and when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought, he handed over the blood edict to Liu Biao or Liu Bei, so that Cao Cao was defeated.
Hey! If Cao Cao died in this battle, it would be greater."
If Cao Cao dies, Yizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Chongzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou "will be in chaos, even if his son Cao Ang succeeds to his throne, he only needs to spread a little rumor, Jiang Zhe, who has a high merit and shocks the master, will inevitably retire to avoid suspicion.
The rest are only Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Li Xian,
Li Xian is the same as Jia Xu, but by virtue of Jiang Zhe's power, Guo Jia is rumored to have a hidden disease, although Xun Yu and Xun Yu are talented. However, his family background is too huge, if Cao Cao dies, then the Xun family will not be able to escape, "Well, maybe Jiang Zhe will come forward,,
As for Cheng Yu, this person is ruthless. but a fierce enemy,
Alas! What do you want to do with these, this battle is nine out of ten, so how can Cao Cao die?
After Cao Cao defeated Zhou Yu and took Jiangdong, the only ones left were Zhang Baiqi and Liu Barrier.
Liu Barrier is not worthy of his name, but he is just a mediocre person!
Zhang Bai rides, hey! This senior brother has taken the entire territory of Hanzhong in just two months, and I am afraid that he will use witchcraft in vain, and his life will not be long.
Even if he stays alive for a while, I'm afraid he won't be Jiang Zhe's opponent, after Cao Cao's umbrella went down to Jiangdong, he led the victorious army and divided the troops into two routes, calling Jiang Zhe to take Hanzhong and Guo Jia to take Shu, so that the two could not join forces......
If it is a long year, or a few months, Cao Cao can win the world!
When is the time to make your own debut?
Thinking of this, Sima Yi couldn't help but sigh again and again.
It's not that he didn't want to continue to forbear, and endure until Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others died of old age, but you must know that Sima Yi is not a few years younger than Jiang Zhe, and it can be said that he will wait until Cao Cao dies of old age. Do you want to wait until Jiang Zhe dies?
Thinking about it, Sima Yi only felt that the future was bleak, and shook his head and walked.
Walking and walking, he passed by a Cao soldier standing in the camp, but Sima Yi saw that the Cao soldier was trembling. Surprised, he stepped forward and asked, "What?" Is it cold? ”
I saw that Cao Bing shook his head tremblingly, and said in a low voice, "Lord Qiyu, cold"
"Huh?" Sima Yi looked at the thin clothes on his body, and then at the leather armor on the soldier's body. Secretly surprised, I wondered in my heart and said, it's just about November, even if it's a little cold, I'm afraid it hasn't reached this point, right?
It seemed that he would be mistaken, and Cao Bing held the gun in his hand and said with a forced smile, "The small one is not in the way." It'll be fine in a while, and I'm afraid it will feel hot again."
"Feeling hot?" Sima Yi raised his eyebrows, and seemed to have something in his heart.
"Yes, yes," the Cao soldier nodded, and said reluctantly, "Maybe there are some people who are not used to the soil, and many brothers in the camp are like this
"A lot of people?" Sima Yi gradually felt that there was something strange about this matter.
"yes!"
Frowning and looking at the soldier, Sima Yi said in a low voice, "In addition to this matter, are there any other discomforts?" ”
"This," Cao Bing pondered. "In addition to being cold and sometimes hot, I sometimes feel a slight headache, but many of the brothers in the camp still feel soreness in their limbs and eyes."
Staring intently at the soldier in front of him, Sima Yi asked solemnly, "But there are still times when you feel your throat dry and dizzy and vomiting?" ”
"Huh?" was asked by Sima Yi like this, then Cao Bing said suspiciously, "Your Excellency knows this? Could it be that adults are also unaccustomed to the water and soil? ”
"Ah, yes" Sima Yi smiled faintly, patted Cao Bing on the shoulder and said, "The water and soil are not adaptable, but you have to be cautious, the weather has gradually turned cold recently, wait for me to go back and inform Situ, let him dial some thick cotton clothes down, so that you can avoid the pain of freezing!" ”
Hearing Sima Yi say this, the Cao Bing looked grateful, clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”
"No thanks!" Sima Yi smiled playfully, nodded to Cao Bing beside him, and walked into the distance, sneering secretly in his heart.
It seems that it is still unknown who will die in this battle!
As he walked, he heard someone shouting not far away, "Sima Zhongda, that Lord Jiang has something to call you!" ”
Listen to "Sima Zhongda." and "that Lord Jiang" Sima Yi understood that person must be weighed undoubtedly, and at a glance, it was indeed so.
When Sima Yi approached, Mi Heng said suspiciously, "What did you say to the soldiers?" ”
"It's not a big deal" Sima Yi shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "It's just that I saw that the weather was getting colder, so I just asked a little bit about it, and I will see Situ later." I want to mention this matter, and ask Situ to take some thick cotton clothes down, and call the soldiers Du Mu..."
"I really can't see it" Mi Heng looked Sima Yi up and down and sneered, and suddenly asked, "Seeing that you have been wandering around the camp since noon, have you seen anything unusual?" ”
"What you said, where am I wandering, it's clear that I'm patrolling the whole camp!" Slightly dissatisfied, Sima Yi showed a little smile on his face and said lightly.
"Nothing happens in the camp, everything is normal!" )
