Chapter 44: Jingzhou!

"Lord, the body of the old lord has been buried." On the main hall of the Chinese army on the Taishou Mansion in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Kuai Yue sent Liu Biao's sacrificial message to the newly appointed Jingzhou pastor Liu Qi. After the civil strife in Jingzhou, Liu Biao's condition became more and more serious, and finally he couldn't afford to fall ill and died in his own house. Liu Qi hurriedly took over as the Jingzhou pastor, a sad Jingzhou pastor.

"The military advisor doesn't need to be called the lord, just call him Qi Gongzi. Have you written a statement for Cao Jun? The people of Jingzhou can no longer be harmed by the scourge of war, so I can be regarded as my Liu family doing something for the people of Jingzhou. Liu Qi leaned weakly on the main seat, waved his hand to Kuai Yue, and signaled that Kuai Yue could retreat if he had nothing to do.

"Don't worry, the subordinates have already made arrangements, and as for the matter of surrendering to Cao Jun, the subordinates will definitely strive for the greatest interests of the lord."

"There's a labor division!"

"The subordinates retired."

After Kuai Yue left, Liu Qi thought of Liu Biao's dying words.

"Qi'er, people from the Jingzhou family can't be trusted. Cai Mao is not credible, Kuai Yue is not credible, only General Wenpin can entrust one or two. Qi'er must remember that in Cao Ying, you have to swallow your anger, and only enjoy peace and happiness can you escape the assassination of the Cao family. I'm out of energy, don't do any more useless struggles. ”

Liu Qi thought of Liu Biao's last words, and knew that he was powerless to resist. Cai Mao's anti-water incident is no longer important, the important thing is that Jingzhou is already in chaos, and he can't join forces to resist Cao Cao, and the result of resistance is just more casualties. I am the last hope to maintain the Liu family in Jingzhou, I am weak and sick, I hope Cao Cao will let him go!

The day after Liu Qi took over as the pastor of Jingzhou. He delivered the letter and letter to Cao Ang outside the city. Cao Ang looked at the text and couldn't believe it. In the end, it is still full of experience and experience. Offered Cao Ang a temptation. After confirming the sincerity of Jingzhou's surrender, Cao Ang entered Xiangyang City with a large army, and three days after Cao Ang entered the city, the 200,000 troops led by Cao Cao also arrived at Xiangyang City in the south.

In the Jingzhou Taishou Mansion, Cao Ang had already led everyone to live in the Taishou Mansion, and Liu Qi was arranged in a manor of the Liu family.

"Master Hou got up really early today, the more polite he is." Early in the morning, Kuai Yue came to Lu Rui's yard. Asking Lu Rui for peace, saying that it was asking for peace, was actually testing Lu Rui's tone, after all, Cao Cao was going to enter Xiangyang City at noon, and it was difficult to say whether he would see him at that time, Lu Rui was a good introducer.

"You're welcome, the Prime Minister is coming today, and the credit of the Anodus is a lot, and Rui will definitely show the Prime Minister the merits of the Other." Lu Rui smiled slightly. Kuai Yue's mind Lu Rui knows, doesn't he just want to get some credit. Cao Cao will definitely give a satisfactory answer.

"Master Xie!"

"Well, by the way, what's the situation over there?" Lu Rui looked at Kuai Yue and remembered Cai Mao in Wulin, Cai Mao's kid still had 50,000 sailors in his hands and had not been damaged at all, and now Liu Qi had issued a letter of surrender to the Cao family to all parts of Jingzhou, but Cai Mao in Wulin did not move, which made Lu Rui quite worried.

If Cao Cao wants to take advantage of the situation to attack Sun Quan, he must rely on a powerful naval army, and the naval army trained by Jiangdong Lu Dai is a new army, which cannot confront Zhou Yu's Poyang Lake naval army at all, and only Cai Mao's Jingzhou naval army has the strength to fight.

"Master Hou, Cai Mao's army has not made any changes, although he has not said that he will serve our army, but he will not take the initiative to attack our army, depending on the idea below, Cai Mao just wants a step." Kuai Yue is a veteran family in Jingzhou, and he knows the temperament of Cai Mao in Jingzhou very well, and wants to protect the interests of the family.

Cai Mao's dream of being the first family in Jingzhou is shattered, after Cao Cao enters Jingzhou, he will not let any family become big, and only by containing each other can Cao Cao rule Jingzhou. Since he can't be the first family, Cai Mao also wants to be the head of a family with real power, and the 50,000 navy army is Cai Mao's capital, and Cai Mao also knows that this is the 50,000 army that Cao Cao is afraid of, so Cai Mao has not moved.

"So it's a step?" Lu Rui touched his chin, and Kuai Yue's words reminded him that Cai Mao was now in a dilemma. It is impossible to make Cai Mao give up military power, what does it mean for a governor who once commanded tens of thousands of troops to lose military power, this is something that fools know. But it was Cao Cao's heart disease to let the rebellious generals continue to hold military power, and Cao Cao's suspicions were undoubtedly revealed here.

The five good generals of Wei, Xu Huang, Zhang He, and Zhang Liao, were all generals who surrendered to Cheng, and their treatment was far less than that of the generals who followed Cao Cao's army. Xu Huang followed Cao Cao all over his body, conquering the south and the north, and in fact, there was almost no chance of leading the army alone.

Zhang Liao, known as the ancient summoning tiger by Cao Pi, was stationed in Hefei and Le Jin, and Li Dian and the two were used as containment, which was Cao Cao's surveillance strategy.

Zhang He, one of the longest-lived generals of the Five Sons, was arbitrarily sent by Cao Wei to resist Eastern Wu and Western Shu. In the end, I have to listen to the command of Sima Yi, a junior, which shows Cao Wei's attitude towards the generals who surrender to Cheng.

Lao Cao's heart is sick! In the face of the suspicious Cao Cao, Lu Rui is also helpless, you can't run to Lao Cao and say that you are crossing, know who is loyal and who is traitorous! What's more, everything in the world is changing, and the human heart is the most uncertain.

"Xenodu, do you have any good plan to let Cai Mao lift his suspicion of our army and serve the prime minister? If Xenodu makes this feat, the prime minister will definitely look at it differently. Lu Rui threw the question to Kuai Yue, this strategist who made Cao Cao admire, should not let himself down.

"This?" Kuai Yue looked at Lu Rui, but as if there was something unspeakable, he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.

"Xeno, if you have anything to say, don't hide it, Ben Hou won't blame you."

"Well, Master Hou, there is a plan to let Cai Mao let down his guard, and at the same time let the Prime Minister use Cai Mao to deal with Sun Quan's army, but this strategy involves private matters in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is not easy to grasp it in the future, please Master Hou Ming."

"The Prime Minister's private affairs?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, why did Kuai Yue hesitate, just say anything, since it is a private matter, Lu Rui, the adopted son and part-time son-in-law, will definitely be able to give advice.

"Xenomorph, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Master Hou, in fact, there is no plan for Xenodu, it's just a plan to get close to each other. As for this pro. Hou Ye. I don't need to say it in the next section. ”

Inseparable? Let Cao Cao and Cai Mao become relatives?

"There are still women in the Cai family who can marry the children of the Cao family?" Lu Rui looked at Kuai Yue, it seemed that Cai Mao did not have a daughter, nor did Cai Zhong Cai He, Cai Mao had a niece, but she was married to Liu Qi, and she had not heard that Cai had other young women.

"Hou Ye misunderstood, Yue meant Cai Mao's sister, the wife of the former Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao." Kuai Yue smiled slightly. glanced at Lu Rui and lowered his head.

"Cai's?" When Lu Rui heard this, he was startled and stood up from his seat. Kuai Yue, this person is really a top strategist, and he actually paid attention to Cai's head.

If Cai Mao's sister follows Lao Cao, Cai Mao and Cao Cao's mustard will be reduced by at least half. It is a good strategy in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, where there are many families, because the marriage of the two families not only represents the marriage of the husband and wife, but also the various resources of the more important family will be tied together. It is the point where both prosperity and loss are lost.

Liu Biao can ride Jingzhou alone. The marriage of the Cai family is also very important. Liu Biao and Cai's have no heirs, so it is still very possible for his wife Cao to accept Cai's, after all, if you accept a woman, you can get 50,000 troops, and anyone will calculate this account.

"It's just that Liu Jingsheng is quite famous in Jingzhou, if the prime minister does this?" I didn't expect Kuai Yue to be the same as Cao Anmin, and he had the potential to be a bustard, but Liu Biao's wife should pay special attention during this sensitive period.

Cao Cao has just pacified Jingzhou, and Liu Biao's bones are not cold, so you went to collect someone's wife, which is morally unjustifiable. And Liu Biao is a lord of the city, and his prestige and reputation in Jingzhou are still good, so if he does it in this way, Cao Cao's reputation is not very good, after all, Cao Cao is now the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and he has to be able to get by in terms of face.

"Master Hou, you are wrong, if you care about your reputation and consume 50,000 troops, this is not the act of the master, and the matter of marriage, you and I are willing, Liu Biao has passed away, Cai's is just a widow, and the etiquette is in line with the reason for remarriage. The prime minister is a major minister of the Han Dynasty, as for the funeral, it can be simple, why be too pedantic? Kuai Yue pointed out Lu Rui's hesitation rhetorically, Cao Cao's face is very important, but the 50,000 army is even more important, and Lu Rui can't forget his public affairs for personal reasons.

Grandma's heterogeneity, even snatching other people's wives is so eloquent, as if not marrying Cai's is a big crime. Liu Biao is probably so angry that he vomits blood in the underworld, Kuai Yue betrayed himself, not to say, his bones are not cold, and his wife is about to give it away, although Kuai Yue's resourcefulness is high, but doing so is too unkind to Liu Biao.

"Please think twice!"

"Well, you can arrange this matter, if the prime minister is to blame at that time, Ben Hou will bear it for you!" Although Lu Rui despises Kuai Yue's approach a little, but considering the overall situation, Kuai Yue still makes a lot of sense, a woman can't decide her fate in troubled times, if Cao Cao sacrifices a woman and gets 50,000 sailors, this is a job that makes sure that you don't lose money, and your wife Cao, your wife Cao, if you don't have a wife, you won't be Cao Cao.

"Hou Ye is wise, the more he will arrange it immediately!" After Kuai Yue got Lu Rui's affirmation, he happily left Lu Rui's courtyard to arrange the affairs of Cai's and Cao Cao.

At this time, in Wulin Harbor east of Xiangyang, Cai Mao and Cai Zhong Cai He were discussing the future whereabouts of the Cai family.

After Cai Mao listened to Cai Zhong and Cai He's report, she also vaguely felt the strangeness of Lu Rui's entry into Xiangyang City. Now it seems that it is very likely that he fell for the trick and fought with Liu Biao's army, which greatly reduced the military strength of Xiangyang City, but gave Cao Cao a chance.

It's just that Cai Mao has these things in his heart, if he tells Cai Zhong and Cai He and the two stupid people, maybe he will do something on the spur of the moment. The Cai family's foundation in Jingzhou is damaged, but whether they can regain control of Jingzhou in the future depends on two things, after all, the affairs of the family have to be planned for hundreds of years, not a generation can compete for a victory!

"Big brother, Liu Qi's little cub actually let the counties of Jingzhou surrender to Cao Cao, what do you say our Cai family should do?" Cai He angrily asked Cai Mao, Liu Qi's kid actually joined Cao Cao so quickly, what should he do with the Cai family's land in Jingzhou, what should he do with his property in Jingzhou, will it belong to Cao Cao like this?

"Big brother, I think we might as well surrender to Cao Cao, anyway, as long as the family's things are kept, why worry about not having wealth in the future?"

"No, no, we have suggested in front of Liu Biao many times to attack Cao Cao, how could Cao Cao let us go so easily? Big brother, it's better for us to serve Sun Quan, maybe there will be a wealth and wealth. ”

"Sun Quan? I think you are looking for death, how did Sun Jian die? Could it be that a Huang Zu can appease the hatred in Sun Quan's heart? ”

Looking at the quarrel between Cai Zhong and Cai He, Cai Mao was upset, Cai Mao didn't want to surrender to Cao Cao. He and Cao Cao were originally friends, and surrendering Cao Cao would at least save his life, but he must not surrender Cao Cao easily, otherwise he would have no room for bargaining.

"Report! , Governor Dadu, the big thing is not good, there is a naval army in the direction of Chaisang, and the number is not less than 10,000 people! "Just when the Cai Mao brothers were arguing about the way to go, the spies came to report that Chaisang had taken action and sent a navy to come.

"Big brother?" Cai Zhong and Cai He were stunned for a moment, could it be that Sun Quan's guy wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and attack Wulin Port?

Sun quan? Cai Mao touched his chin, Chai Sang's intention to dispatch the navy at this time Cai Mao will not care, the most important thing is that Cai Mao has already made up his mind in his heart, he can't leave Jingzhou, he definitely can't leave Jingzhou!

"Second brother, third brother, no matter what Sun Quan's intention is, he can't leave Jingzhou for his brother's decision, our clansmen and family are in Jingzhou, Sun Quan must have bad intentions towards my Jingzhou when he came this time, I decided to send troops to fight!" Cai Mao pulled out his long sword and made an important decision, since Liu Qi had joined Cao Cao, he didn't need to be loyal to Liu Biao, Sun Quan had always been eyeing Jingzhou, and Sun Quan must not be allowed to succeed.

"Obey the orders of the eldest brother!" Cai Zhong and Cai He glanced at each other, Cai Mao was right, Jingzhou has always been his home, and the family cannot give it up!

"Okay, my Jingzhou Navy has not been able to deal with Cao Jun, so let Sun Quan see the power of my Jingzhou Navy Army!" Cai Mao waved his long sleeves and walked out of the barracks with Cai and Cai Zhong. (To be continued......)
