On August 10, the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Cong, the lord of Jingzhou, obeyed Cai Mao, and Kuai Yuezhi led the people to surrender to the lord of the north, Cao Cao.

Three days later, the morning was sunny and breezy.

Liu Cong in Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and other ministers came to Fancheng north of the Han River, a few days ago, Fancheng was captured by Xu Chu, the vanguard of the Cao army, a steady stream of Cao soldiers settled in Fancheng, including Cao Cao -

At this moment, outside Fancheng City, there were many armored soldiers, and the cold light of the spears and swords flashed coldly, and the soldiers of the Cao army all looked at the arrival of Liu Cong's group of lambs with fierce eyes.

And Cao Cao, who was named as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, also came to Fancheng in person to greet Liu Cong and his party.

Liu Cong was used to being pampered, and when he saw such a scene there, he immediately felt that his legs and stomach were trembling, his eyes flew over those heroic soldiers, and his heart was both scared and sad.

"Why don't I have such elite soldiers in Jingzhou?"

Liu Cong's eyes wandered on a short and swarthy man in front of a group of brocade-clad civil and military people, although this man did not look very good-looking, but there was a majesty on his body that was not angry and majestic, and there was a domineering spirit of heaven and earth between his hands and feet.

Looking at the flattering and frightened Cao Jun on his side, Liu Cong knew in his heart that this was the majestic Cao Cao.

Liu Cong immediately walked a few steps quickly, and when he was still a few feet away from Cao Cao, he had to stop and kneel on his knees: "The criminal minister Liu Cong heard the prime minister's heavenly might, and he didn't dare to offend, and now he led his ministers to come here and surrender, and I hope the prime minister will accept it——"

"Haha, nephew is polite, polite—"

Cao Cao walked out at the moment, and a pair of steady and powerful arms helped Liu Cong up, haha smiled, "Virtuous nephew, since you have surrendered to Lonely, Lone will not let the virtuous nephew suffer the slightest grievance——"

After that, Cao Cao chuckled again: "Lone has asked Bixia to play, Feng Xian's nephew is the history of Qingzhou Thorn, leading the Pavilion Marquis of Anyang, sending Xu Du and Bixia to reunite, and talking about family affection——"

Liu Cong heard Cao Cao's arrangement, and his heart was slightly relieved, as for going to Xu Du or something, Liu Cong was no longer thinking about it, as long as he could live, Liu Cong sighed in his heart.

Cao Cao already saw Liu Cong's every move in his eyes, looking at Liu Cong's relieved expression, Cao Cao snorted coldly in his heart, and disdained him even more, and gave Liu Cong a reward, and then he was going to give Cai Mao and Kuai Yue a few people.

Cao Cao looked at Cai Mao with a smile on his face, Kuai Yue and the others, and said with a smile: "De Jue, you have merit in persuading you to surrender, Lone has already asked Bixia Fenger to be the prince, the governor of the navy, and Lone can hope that Er will train a strong navy for Lone——"

"Thank you, Prime Minister-" Cai Mao heard that he was also a marquis, and his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly agreed.

Cao Cao smiled and bowed his head, and then looked at the silent Kuai Yue, and chuckled: "I don't like this Jingzhou, but I am happy to be different-"

Then Cao Cao, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao joined hands to enter Xiangyang, and ordered Cao Ren, Xu Chu and others to enter Xiangyang to receive the defense, as well as to organize the army...... Cao Cao also rewarded Jingzhou's civil and military forces

It was night, the state minister's mansion, and Cao Cao unceremoniously took it for a while.

"Prime Minister"

Cao Cao's eyes wandered over the huge map, and when he heard the soft shout, he turned around, but it was his mastermind Xun You, Cao Cao chuckled and said, "Gongda, you are here." ”

"Gongda, you say it's ridiculous, we have been preparing carefully for so long, just for this battle, but we never expected that Liu Cong's kid surrendered when we went south."

"Prime Minister-" Xun You frowned lightly and said, "We only have 50,000 troops beside us, if it is-"

"Hey, Gongda knows what you're worried about." Cao Cao waved his hand suddenly, and then said in a very domineering tone: "If Liu Biao is not dead, Lone will not dare to enter so lightly, but now, hehe, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and both of them don't have the courage to worry——"

"Then Prime Minister, why are you like this-" Xun You frowned, and then seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "The Prime Minister is worried about Liu Bei?" ”

"Yes, it's Liu Bei who is alone." Cao Cao made no secret of his jealousy of Liu Bei: "Although the big-eared thief has been defeated many times in the lonely hands, he has been able to escape repeatedly-"

"If you let him run away and flee to Jiangxia today, I'm afraid it will be an endless disaster." Cao Cao's eyes flashed fiercely: "Lone must destroy Liu Bei before he arrives in Jiangxia......"

At this moment, Cai Mao was called outside the door to ask to see him, Cao Cao frowned slightly, and then waved his hand: "Order them to come in-"

From time to time, Cai Mao walked into the hall, and Cao Cao saw it and chuckled: "What is the so-called matter when De Jue came late at night?" ”

"Report to the prime minister, Mao came to do two things, one is Liu Bei, and the other is Jiangling." Cai Mao hurriedly clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Liu Bei's guy has already led the army and the people to Jiangxia by land at the end of July. ”

"But Liu Bei will definitely not be able to go far with the people, and if the prime minister is determined to be able to catch up at this time." Cai Mao's eyes were shining: "The second is Jiangling, although Jiangling is guarded by 20,000 sailors led by my brother Cai Zhan, but Mao is still a little unsure, and he also asks the Prime Minister Heavenly Army to go——"

After finishing speaking, he came to report outside the door again, and Kuai Yue had something to ask to see. Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and he had a premonition of unhappiness in his heart, "Biography-"

Then, Kuai Yue walked in with a sad face, and said in a heavy tone: "Prime Minister, Jiangling has been lost—"

"What?"

"How is that possible-"

Cao Cao's expression changed slightly, and then his face was like frost and said, "Xeno, let's talk about it in detail——"

"Whoa!" Kuai Yue calmed down, and said in a calm tone: "Changsha Liu Hu, Xu Shu marched from Baqiu, joined forces with Guan Yu's naval army, and in the joint Jiangling City, Fu Xun, and the deputy general Han Xi broke Jiangling in one fell swoop, and General Cai Zan was killed——"

"Damn—"

Cai Mao's eyes suddenly widened and his expression was pale, and Cao Cao's face was also gloomy, especially when he heard Xu Shu, his eyelids jumped, and Cao Cao whispered: "So, the materials in Jiangling were obtained by Liu Bei?" ”

"Yes."

Cao Cao exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, his eyes were cold, and after a long time, he smiled heartily: "Haha, why worry about some small things......" He immediately looked at Cai Mao and said in a low voice: "De Jue, the lonely expedition to Jiangxia must rely on the water army, and the water army will rely on you De Jue——"

"The prime minister can rest assured, and he will do his best to serve the prime minister." Cai Mao immediately said in a deep voice: "There are five places in the Jingzhou Navy, one is Xiangyang, the second is Nanjun, the third is Zhangling, the fourth is Shangyong, and the fifth is Jingling - there are 90,000 people in the navy, and Jiangling was broken before, and there are still 70,000 of them......"

"Huh?" Cao Cao saw that Cai Mao knew so well about the navy, and he couldn't help but feel at ease, waved his hand and smiled heartily: "There is a general of the navy like Dejing, breaking Jiangxia and destroying Jiangdong is not within reach-" After saying that, he seemed to think of something, and looked at Cai Mao and said: "Deqi, Liu Bei is a scourge, and he wants to get rid of it-"

"You sent a general to accompany Gu, and Gu Yao personally led the tiger and leopard cavalry to destroy Liu Bei"

"Yes, Prime Minister—"

The next day, Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Chun immediately led five thousand iron cavalry under the guidance of Wang Wei, the general of Jingzhou, and roared away, leaving Xiangyang like a torrent and sweeping down, the cavalry's foot was already extremely fast, Cao Chun got Cao Cao's death order, and its speed was more than doubled, running all the way non-stop, and every day was above a hundred miles.

…………

At the same time, Liu Bei was dragging and dragging with a group of people, and he had to stop and rest after walking more than ten miles every day, and at dusk this day, he finally arrived at the Dangyang River near Dangyang County-

Dangyang River is a tributary of the Han River in Dangyang County, the river is ten zhang wide, its depth is not, there is only one Dangyang Bridge within a radius of ten miles to cross, Liu Bei and his party pass through the Dangyang Bridge mightily.

Because there were too many people, Liu Beijun's soldiers all rested outside the woods by the bridge.

At this point, the number of people beside Liu Bei has increased to more than 100,000 one after another, which makes Liu Xuan, who was following Liu Bei, speechless and helpless again. Facing the daily snail-like marching speed, Liu Xuan's heart burned like fire.

At this time, suddenly a horse rushed forward and hurriedly handed over two letters, Liu Bei looked at it with a glance, and then looked up to the sky and smiled, Liu Xuan's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked: "Father, but Jiangling is broken?" ”

"Yes, Yan Hao, Yun Chang sent a letter, two days ago, Yuan Zhi designed a joint public ladder and they broke Jiangling together, killed Cai Zhan, the younger brother of Cai Mao, and incorporated more than 15,000 people from the Jingzhou naval army. At this moment, Yun Chang and the others are transporting the materials and armaments from the Jiangling Mansion Treasury to Xiakou. ”

"Another Kong Ming has collected nearly 5,000 Jingzhou naval troops who are unwilling to surrender to Cao Cao, and now Hanjin is camped and waiting for us, and Yun Chang also ordered Tan Zhi to lead a partial division to help ......"

Liu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart after hearing this, this place is not very far from Hanjin, only about twenty miles away, if you speed up the journey, I am afraid that you can reach it tomorrow afternoon.

As soon as this news came out, Liu Beijun's soldiers and many ordinary people were shocked, but happy times are always easy to pass, how to say it, happiness is sad......

Not long after, a cavalry galloped from the north, Liu Xuan stared at it, but it was Meng Guang, the commander of the Tiger and Wolf Army, Liu Xuan's heart sank, Meng Guang was the scout he arranged to guard the Cao army in the north, and now ......

Sure enough, Liu Xuan guessed, Meng Guang made a beautiful dismount and said excitedly to Liu Xuan: "Lord, son, there is an iron horse chasing from the north...... Looking at it, it seems to be the Cao Jun's ace elite tiger and leopard ride that Gongzi once said——"
