Chapter 586: The inside should be combined with the outside
Li Kai got Cao Ren's letter and waited in the tavern for He Kui to appear again. A few days later, He Kui came again, this time alone.
Li Kai waited for him to drink a few glasses of wine and then went over to talk to him. The two of them sat at a table, drinking and chatting. After three rounds of drinking, He Kui's words became more, and words began to complain about Lu Bu. Li Kai was persuaded at first, and later echoed He Kui's words. Unconsciously, He Kui regarded Li Kai as a confidant and talked to him about everything, but He Kui obviously maintained a trace of vigilance, although he expressed his dissatisfaction with Lu Bu, he still controlled it within a certain range, and he was not out of line.
Li Kai saw that the heat was almost over, so he simply picked it out and revealed his true identity.
He Kui was shocked and fell into deep thought.
Li Kai began to plot against He Kui. "General, what you are eating is the anger of the Cao family, and the two generations of lords of the Cao family have never treated you badly, why do you want to turn your back on the Cao family? In the world of life, faith and righteousness come first, and the general must not be the person who has no faith and no righteousness...""The general is not reused under Lu Bu, and he is quite unhappy, why not just do it anyway and assist General Cao Ren to make great achievements in the world, high-ranking officials are not in the bag, far better than sending people under the fence now........."
Li opened his tongue and bloomed lotus, and He Kui was gradually moved by him. He hugged his fist towards Li Kai, "It's not a secret, in fact, I have long wanted to do it anyway, but I don't have a chance... It's really a stroke of luck to meet Mr. today..."
When Li Kai heard this, he was overjoyed, looked around, and said: "This place is not a place for detailed discussions, if the general is interested, come to my residence, and we will discuss in detail at that time." He Kui nodded.
Li Kai said where he lived, and He Kui wrote it down. Li Kai called Xiao Er, settled his own account, and also settled the account for He Kui. stood up, hugged his fist at He Kui, and whispered: "Wait for the general, come over as much as you can, don't mistake yourself." He Kui nodded. Li Kai left in a hurry.
Later that day, He Kui came to the address Li Kai said. Knocking on the door, Li Kai looked behind He Kui, and without any abnormality, he kissed He Kui in.
When the two came to the hall, Li Kai persuaded He Kui to take a seat, but He Kui insisted on refusing, so the two sat down on the left and right sides of the hall. One of the servants offered tea and withdrew.
He Kui took a sip of tea, and then said eagerly: "Since Mr. is an undercover agent sent by General Cao, I am worried that Mr. gave me a letter, so that I can go to see General Cao..."
Li Kai laughed and said: "I can send a letter to the general, but the general is embarrassed to go to General Cao like this?" β
He Kui asked with a blank face, "What do you have in mind?" β
Li Kaidao: "I heard that although the general's position is not high, he has an army of 50,000? β
He Kui nodded, "Zhuge Ruoxue, appoint our five generals to command the army, each commanding an army of 50,000. β
Li Kai hurriedly said: "The general has not thought about it, and he will take Jingzhou with the army in control of the army in his hand and the general inside and outside..." Each of us has a deputy by his side, nominally to assist us in managing the army, but in fact he is monitoring us........." Li Kai said: "This is easy, just replace that deputy into the big tent before the incident, or capture or kill." Then the action began. After glancing at the departure, he squinted and said, "Unless the general's heart is not resolute anyway..."
He Kui hurriedly swore to the sky, and then said, "Just listen to Mr..."
Li Kai was overjoyed, "In this way, Jingzhou is basically already in our pocket...", and then asked: "I wonder if there are any people who can persuade those generals who are with the generals?" β
He Kui said: "Li Gui, Qiu Jiu, are friends with me, and they are all dissatisfied with Lu Bu and the current situation..."
Li Kai hurriedly said, "Can the general invite these two people over for a while?" If the two of them help each other, great things can be accomplished, and great achievements can be expected..."He Kui said: "It is easy to invite the two of them to come over, but I just have to think of a rhetoric so that I can prevaricate others to inquire." Li Kai said: "This is easy to do, you just say that you invite them out to drink, I don't think anyone will doubt it." β
He Kui nodded.
That night, He Kui led Li Gui and Qiu Jiu to the place where they left under the pretext of inviting them to drink.
β¦β¦
While Cao Ren was waiting for news from Li Kai, he was actively preparing to march into Jingzhou. At noon that day, as soon as Cao Ren returned home, Li Dian hurriedly greeted him, and said with a happy face: "Good news..."
Cao Ren hurriedly asked, "Did Li Kai send a letter?" β
Li Dian nodded and handed a roll of bamboo slips to Cao Ren. Cao Ren snatched it, shook it open, and looked at it quickly, his face showed extreme excitement, and he closed the bamboo slip, "Okay... That's great... Anyway, these three people are not at their fingertips in Jingzhou..."
Li Dian nodded approvingly, and asked, "How should Li Kai reply to the time for the action?" β
Cao Ren thought for a moment, "Our land and water soldiers are all ready. Without further ado, the action will begin tomorrow. Tell them that as long as they hear the news that our army is attacking Nanjun, they will have 150,000 soldiers and horses, and if they are in the city, they will take the city, and if they come to the aid of Nanjun, they will attack Nanjun with me in front and back. Li Dian responded and hurried down.
Cao Ren looked at the sky in the distance, opened his eyes, and muttered excitedly: "In this battle, our army will reverse the unfavorable situation..."
Early the next morning, the more than 200,000 waterway troops that had already been prepared left Jiangxia and headed for Nanjun. Crossing the general, he launched a fierce attack on the two riverside fortresses of Hanyang and Shiyang on the north bank of the river. The land and water army attacked day and night, with a posture of not giving up until the fortress was taken; The five thousand defenders of each of the two fortresses resisted with all their might, and the battle was fierce, and the battle situation was very unfavorable to Lu Bu's army.
The Tiger Wing Army of Nanjun received an urgent military report and immediately dispatched 20,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the aid of Hanyang and Shiyang fortresses respectively; Zhang Lang gathered an army of 250,000 under Zhuge Ruoxue in Jingzhou, left Jingzhou, and rushed to the aid of Nanjun.
β¦β¦
Li Kai was so excited that he paced back and forth at home, and in his mind, Jingzhou was already theirs.
Bang Bang Bang ...... There was a sudden knock on the door. Li Kai stopped, looked out the door, and muttered strangely, "Who will come at this time?" β
β¦β¦
Cao Ren and Li Dian stormed the two forts for five or six consecutive days, and the enemy resisted quite resolutely, and the Cao army paid a great price but could not make the slightest progress.
At this moment, the scouts of Cao's army found that the LΓΌ Bu army in the two camps was in chaos, and then rushed out of the camp in a chaotic manner and fled north along the Xiangjiang River.
When Cao Ren got the report, he immediately said with great joy: "It must be He Kui and they have captured Nanjun... At this moment, a guard rushed in and knelt down and said, "General, there is a person who looks like a common man outside, saying that it is General He Kui..."
