In the Dingfengjin battalion, scouts who closely monitored Cao's movements found that the general Xu Chu led a group of men and horses to hurry towards the Lujiang River, and immediately reported this information to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was taken aback when he received the report, and said in a deep voice: "It's not good, it's not good!" Cao Pi is going to attack Cai Mao and Zhang Yun! Immediately called the messenger who contacted Cao Pi, and ordered him to immediately disguise himself and cross the river to warn Cai Mao: Cao Pi wants to kill him, and he will do something immediately!

The messenger took Zhuge Liang's handwritten letter, put on disguise, and set out on the road. crossed directly to the past, and came to the water village to see Cai Mao before Xu Chu's people arrived. After saying Zhuge Liang's words, he immediately presented Zhuge Liang's book. Cai Mao read the book, but did not immediately express his position, turned around and went back to the top to do it, and said with a smile: "I already know what will happen to General Xu Chu in the future." As far as I know, General Xu Chu was here to confer my title on behalf of the Prime Minister. Picked up Zhuge Liang's book and raised it, "I don't know where Kong Ming heard this?" ”

Seeing that Cai Mao didn't believe it, the envoy hurriedly said: "The general should know that my military division is resourceful and can pinch and calculate, and since following the general, there has never been a mistake in the things he speculated and judged!" ”

Cai Mao smiled, "Not bad, not bad." So why did Mr. Kong Ming, who was so resourceful, say such ridiculous words? ”

The envoy heard what Cai Mao meant, and he clearly suspected that the military advisor had ulterior motives for being alarmist! The envoy frowned, "It seems that the general is suspicious of my family's military advisor's intentions!" Why do my military advisors need to use this method? Cai Mao just sneered.

Seeing that it really didn't make sense, the envoy said, "Even if the general doesn't believe the words of my military advisor and is unwilling to raise the banner of rebellion immediately, he should be prepared for what happens, right?" If it is unfortunately said by my military advisor, and the general is not prepared, wouldn't he be killed without a place to be buried? ”

Cai Mao couldn't help but feel a little moved, glanced at the messenger, and said lightly: "I will naturally consider this, and I don't need to be respectful." ”

The envoy had nothing to say, so he clasped his fists and said, "The general is good to do it himself, and take his leave." "No."

The messenger left the water village and hurriedly boarded the boat and headed for the other side.

After the envoy left, Cai Zhong said to Cai Mao with some uneasiness: "Big brother, it's not good for us to do this, okay?" In case Zhuge Liang gets angry, won't it block us a way out? ”

Cai Mao stood up and said angrily: "What do you know?" Zhuge Liang is playing tricks with us, he wants to use lies to force us to surrender to them immediately, I am not a three-year-old child, how can I be fooled? ”

Cai Zhong said: "But, but I think what the messenger said doesn't seem to be all nonsense!" ”

Cai Mao laughed, "Do you think Xu Chu is really here to kill us?" That's impossible! Unless Cao Pi doesn't want anyone to help him lead the sailors! We also have an inside line in Xuchang, according to the news he came, it is clear that Cao Pi has not had many rewards in view of our hard work, so he will send Xu Chu to confer the title of meritorious knight, and even the name of the title has been told to me, Lujiang Pavilion Marquis, haha, where is Zhuge Liang said! He is clearly alarmist and intends to earn us and so on! ”

Cai Zhong nodded, "What the eldest brother said is extremely true!" ”

Cai Mao pondered: "But the messenger's words are also right, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, we should also make preparations in case." Then he said to Cai Zhong: "You go and select hundreds of strong warriors, and then ambush around my big tent." If there's a case, watch me toss the cup. Cai Zhong clenched his fists and hurriedly left the big tent.

……

The envoy returned to the camp of the Dingfeng Jin Lu Bu Army, saw Zhuge Liang, and explained Cai Mao's reaction in detail. Zhuge Liang sneered: "What a Cai Mao, you don't use your brain when you should use your brain, and you don't have a lot of brains when you shouldn't!" Actually suspected that I was going to earn him! ”

frowned and thought about it. Immediately called Xu Huang and ordered him to gather the soldiers of the Leopard Tao Guard Infantry Army who were training in water warfare to assemble and prepare to attack.

At this moment, the scout who was in charge of monitoring the movements of Xu Chu and his party came with another report: Xu Chu and his party have entered Cai Mao's water village!

Zhuge Liang rushed to the river and saw that more than 100 rafts had gathered on the river, and two or three thousand soldiers were dressed in soft warfare, with black scarves on their heads, bows and arrows on their backs, and spears on their backs, all of which were ready. Xu Huang saw Zhuge Liang coming, and hurriedly greeted him, hugged his fists and said: "The military advisor, everything is ready, I don't know what the military advisor wants us to do?" ”

Zhuge Liang took a feather fan and set up a pergola on his eyes to look at the Cao Jun Water Village opposite, and when he saw that he was calm, he muttered: "I hope Cai Mao will not be defenseless!" He turned his head to Xu Huang and said, "General Xu Huang, you will personally lead the army over later." Xu Huang still didn't know what he wanted him to do, but when he heard Zhuge Liang's words, he agreed without hesitation!

Cai Mao heard that Xu Chu and his family were coming, so he hurriedly led people out of the account to greet him in person. Connect Xu Chu to the big tent and ask Xu Chu to take a seat. Xu Chu strode to the top, and he didn't just do it, turned around, took out Cao Pi's warrant and raised it high, and said loudly: "Prime Minister Jun's will!" ”

Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, Cai He and all the generals knelt down together, waiting for Jun's order.

Xu Chu opened the warrant and read it aloud: "Heaven and earth have a way, people have permanence, heaven and earth have no way, everything will fall, and if people are impermanent, the world will be in chaos." Today, Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, and Cai He's generations should bear the worries of the king, but they collude with outsiders to eat inside and outside, and they are really disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous people. ”

Cai Mao and the three of them were shocked when they heard this, and they all stood up.

Xu Chu asked coldly: "Do you three want me to do it, or do you kneel and be bound by yourself?" ”

Cai Mao smiled coldly, "I didn't expect Cao Pi Xiao'er to really dare to cross the river and tear down the bridge!" ”

"Bold! How dare you call the name of the lord! Do you know that this is a great sin of disrespect? ”

Cai Mao sneered: "I don't know what the crime of disrespect is, I only know that you Xu Chu is here to die today!" Yuluo suddenly jumped one step away and yelled, "Do it!" ”

The hundreds of elite soldiers who had been ambushed around immediately shouted and poured into the big tent, surrounding Xu Chu and several people.

Xu Chu glanced at the sergeants, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Do you want to rebel with Cai Mao?" The sergeants were stunned. Xu Chu suddenly made a move, only to see him pull out his sword suddenly, roared, like a brown bear fiercely crashed into the middle of the army, swung his sword and killed, only to see blood flying all over the sky, screaming loudly, and in a blink of an eye, he was cut down by the fierce Xu Chu. rushed to Cai Zhong and Cai He, and the two were so frightened that they didn't know how to respond.

Xu Chu swung his sword violently, and the two heads were held up by two blood springs and rose to the sky. Xu Chu kicked away Cai Zhong's headless corpse and strode forward in front of Cai Mao. Cai Mao turned around and ran first, but Xu Chu grabbed her collar and lifted it up, just like a grizzly bear lifting a fox.
