Chapter 844: Uncle Guo
'Kill, kill, kill!' "The Yizhou army in the rear actually took the initiative to start a war. Pang Shiyuan's army seemed to have a tacit understanding with the Yizhou army, and generally began to attack.
Under the internal and external attacks, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's 50,000 troops were miserable, but fortunately, most of these soldiers and horses were elite, not only that, but they were also veterans of the Cai family, and there would be no incident of roaring camp.
"Resist, resist!" The soldiers and horses of the Cai family were attacked on both sides, and if it weren't for the camp built at zero hour, I am afraid they would have been surrounded and annihilated long ago.
"General, if it goes on like this, this Cai Mao and Kuai Yue will die!" The leading figure in the Yizhou army was in the big camp and watched the soldiers who were constantly attacking the enemy camp, and an adjutant general on the side said triumphantly.
"Huh?" The person in command of the Yizhou Army didn't say much, but looked at the soldiers on both sides who were fighting bloodily on the battlefield, and couldn't help frowning.
"Zhang Beijia, worthy of a generation of celebrities, knowing that this Jingzhou army is inherently discordant, sending troops like this, first breaking Cai Mao Kuaiyue, and then breaking Pang Shiyuan's army, I Yizhou is worry-free!" Some people said that taking advantage of the discord of the Jingzhou army to attack inside and outside, it is difficult for anyone to resist, which is called driving the wolf and devouring the tiger.
And the person who came up with this strategy was Yizhou Don't Drive Zhang Song.
"If it weren't for the fact that our general Luo Fengpo killed the Jingzhou military division Huang Shot in a battle, how could he provoke the Jingzhou army to fight? Zhang Beijia is just following the trend! Someone over there was unconvinced.
"Yes, yes, it's the same as General Zhang Ren, and it's also indispensable!"
That's right, this person who came with an army of 30,000 was none other than Zhang Ren, who shot Huang Shot on the top of Luofeng Slope in the Yizhou Army. After killing Huang Shot, the merits were offset, and he even went one step further and became such a general of the unified army.
Zhang Ren doesn't have these lieutenants now. The mentality of the musicians of each school.
The more he looked at Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's camp over there. This heart is getting more and more gloomy.
He was able to shoot the yellow shot. It has nothing to do with one of the people in this Yizhou army, or if it wasn't that person who sold the yellow shot, he wouldn't have been able to ambush the yellow shot so easily.
After killing Huang Jie, Zhang Song suggested that Liu Zhang send troops, saying that the Jingzhou army was inherently discordant, and the dragons had no leader, so they could attack it.
The idea is good, but it's a bit too much of a coincidence.
looked at the waves of Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's soldiers and horses who were retreating one after another. Zhang Ren's brows furrowed even deeper.
I wish I was just thinking too much.
"Pass the order and continue the onslaught!" Zhang Ren shook his head, let's start fighting first, whether it is Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's soldiers and horses or Pang Shiyuan's soldiers and horses over there, it is a disaster for Yizhou, and it is the right way to eradicate it as soon as possible.
"Yes!"
The siege continued, and Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's soldiers and horses could only retreat and shrink their defensive lines.
"Jingzhou returns to Yangzhou?" Cai Mao's eyes widened, looking at Kuai Yue on the side, as if he didn't believe that the person in front of him was an old friend he had known for decades.
"That's right!" Kuai Yue nodded, "Brother Desi, Jingzhou has the Yangtze River as a natural risk, plus the abundant land. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Central Plains has been chaotic. The people of the Shi clan all took refuge in Jingzhou. It's only been a few decades, and today's Jingzhou is several times larger than the Jingzhou we waited for before, and the people are also millions, grain, grass, and money are everywhere! It is not an exaggeration to say that Jingzhou is the richest state and county in the world! Kuai Yue said to Cai Mao.
"Jingzhou is here, if it falls into the hands of the master, with the land of Jingzhou, it can be vertical and horizontal, if it falls into the hands of mediocrity, you can also sit and enjoy its success, enjoy it for several years, but it is inevitable that it will not be coveted!" Kuai Yue analyzed them one by one.
"Jiangdong Sun Ce wants it, Huang Shot thinks about it, Cao Cao is greedy, even the current Liu Bei is also coveted, and it is really a place for soldiers to fight!"
At that time, Sun Ce wanted to fight in Jingzhou, and gave up the Central Plains, not because he was blinded by hatred, but only by taking Jingzhou, he Sun Ce could have a large amount of wealth, a large amount of money and food to support him Sun Ce to continue his great cause.
Taking Jingzhou can be said to be a great benefit, so why not do it? Millions of people, countless grain warehouses, and the savings of those scholars, this is the foundation of Jingzhou!
Cai Mao understood that this Yangzhou Liu Mang also fell in love with Jingzhou.
However, Cai Mao's wariness of Liu Mang is no less than that of Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's killing of Liu Zong made him angry, but Liu Mang had killed so many scholars, not to mention that all the land taken by Yangzhou soldiers and horses belonged to the government.
He Cai Mao is the largest landlord in Jingzhou, and his entire net worth will shrink by half at this time. "Why, can't we take refuge in Cao Cao!" Cai Mao is still unwilling, half of the huge family business is about to be lost in vain, how can he be willing. "Brother Desi, you are confused!" Kuai Yue shook his head with a wry smile. "Brother De Si, how much is your 10,000 acres of fertile land worth?" Kuai Yue couldn't know that Cai Mao was worried about the status of their Cai family and those lands.
"At least 10,000 gold!" Cai Mao said to Kuai Yue.
Ten thousand gold is still sold cheaply, if you really think about it, it will be at least about 30,000 to 50,000 gold.
From here, it can be seen that the Cai family is wealthy, and the average family is 50,000 gold, which is simply an astronomical amount, but for the Cai family, this is only the value of their family's title deed in Jingzhou.
"Wanjin? Hehe, if it is, Brother Desi, if you really pity those fields, you should even more surrender to His Royal Highness the King of Han! Kuai Yue said to Cai Mao with a smile.
"What do you mean by that?" Cai Mao asked with a frown.
"Brother Desi, do you still remember that when Liu Biao did not enter this Jingzhou, you and I had two family affairs?" Kuai Yue on the side said to Cai Mao.
Cai Mao nodded, of course he remembered that Liu Biao had not yet come to Jingzhou, and although he Cai Mao and Kuai Yue Liangjia were scholars, they were just two small scholars.
There is still prestige among the counties, but it is not good in the whole of Jingzhou.
Later, the reason why he Cai Mao's Cai family, Kuai Yue's Kuai family, and the Huang family of Huang Zu at the beginning were able to become the three largest families in Jingzhou.
It was because they invested right, helped Liu Biao win Jingzhou, and finally rewarded them for their merits.
"Huh. You're Cai Desi. Able to do this position of military advisor. Did you choose the right person? Kuai Yue continued to ask with a smile.
Cai Mao stopped talking, the Cai family, the Huang family, and the three families couldn't tell who slept big or small.
But there is a difference slowly, it is not Cai Mao who is capable, compared to the above article, Cai Mao does not have Kuai Yue's strategy, compared to marching and fighting, Cai Mao only knows how to fight water warfare. is not as brave and good at fighting as Huang Zu.
But in the end, Cai Mao's Cai family became the largest family in Jingzhou. Got the position of the biggest fat shortage military division.
This is also the reason why Cai Mao was able to pull out these 30,000 elite Jingzhou sailors later.
And the reason for this qiē is that Cai Mao and Liu Biao have an in-law relationship. Relying on this link, Liu Biao was able to give him power.
"She! But there is no light! Cai Mao said that she in Cai Mao's mouth is his sister Mrs. Cai, and now Mrs. Cai is no longer Liu Biao's wife, but Liu Mang, the king of Han.
But Liu Mang couldn't be tongue-in-cheek, so Mrs. Cai's identity has never been revealed.
Cai Mao is scrupled, maybe Liu Mang is still greedy for Mrs. Cai's body now, but what about ten or eight years later? Mrs. Cai is almost thirty years old and is a half-aged.
After all, there will be a day when he is old and frail, will His Royal Highness the King of Han still like Mrs. Cai at that time? How could their Cai family rely on Mrs. Cai to ascend to the throne.
"Huh. Madame may be old and frail, but ah. Brother Desi, haven't you forgotten, but Boren has grown up! Kuai Yue spoke to Cai Mao.
"Boren?" Cai Mao was stunned for a moment. I didn't get it.
Kuai Yue only then remembered that Cai Mao might not know this news.
"Madame gave birth to a son, the little prince, and the word Boren!" Kuai Yue said to Cai Mao.
"Brother Desi, although His Royal Highness the King of Han is young and promising, but so far, he is only one heir, if His Royal Highness the King of Han has a great career in the future, the little prince will not be the prince! And you are the uncle of the Han Dynasty! Kuai Yue's words finally moved Cai Mao's heart.
Although Mrs. Cai is no longer in her prime, she gave birth to her only son for Liu Mang, the king of Han.
Now the identity of their mother and son may be very embarrassing, but if Cai Mao joins the Yangzhou Army, whether Liu Mang is for Jingzhou or for Jingzhou, or in order to appease the scholars in Jingzhou, he must also give this name.
Then at that time, Mrs. Cai became one of Liu Mang's princesses.
The little prince is the eldest son. With the help of his uncle Cai Mao, he can really get the right to inherit.
Cai Mao was furious with Liu Bei, not only because he killed Liu Zong, but also because Liu Bei had destroyed Cai Mao's hope.
If it weren't for the events that happened in the next two years and three years, then Liu Zong would be sitting in the position of the lord of Jingzhou now, and he Cai Mao would be the one who replaced Liu Zong to govern Jingzhou.
If you take refuge in Yangzhou, according to Yangzhou's current strength, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jiangdong, plus Jingzhou, that is the land of five continents. It's okay to be the king and the hegemon.
They have a little prince in the Cai family, are they afraid that they will not have great wealth!
Cai Mao's eyes became brighter and brighter, like a hungry wolf.
Kuai Yue smiled slightly on the side, he knew that Cai Mao was about to take the bait.
"Brother Xenodu, how to do it, you can tell me!" Cai Mao said directly to Kuai Yue, and he was even ready to call out the tiger talisman in his hand, this thing, Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan have coveted it for a long time.
"Brother Desi, you don't need a tiger talisman, I believe that at this time, His Royal Highness the King of Han is already in action, let's just wait, but when the time comes, I hope that Brother Desi can obey the order!" Kuai sent out the letter as soon as possible. That's why he asked Cai Mao to defend passively and preserve his strength. "Brother Xeno, so you?" Cai Mao would really be a fool if he didn't understand it now.
This Kuai Yue Kuo Heterogeneity is probably a person from Liu Mang in Yangzhou for a long time.
"Brother Xenodu, you and I have said that we will advance and retreat together, what do you mean by this?" Cai Mao was a little stunned, but he had been kept in the dark by Kuai Yue.
At the beginning, the two of them formed an alliance in order to squeeze out the Huang family, and they advanced and retreated together, but now Kuai Yue deceived him.
"Brother Desi, you misunderstood! If I really lied to you, how could I come to this Yizhou with you? Kuai Yue explained that Cai Mao was needed to send troops alone.
"If you didn't say it that day, it wasn't because you were afraid of Brother De Si, did you blame His Royal Highness the King of Han!" Kuai Yue continued to explain that at that time, Cai Mao couldn't wait to kill Liu Mang.
It was Liu Mang who harmed his sister and their Cai family.
Do you think he can not be angry, and finally let Cai Mao close the door to thank the guests, put him under house arrest, and was almost killed by Liu Biao.
In the end, he left Xiangyang by the secret passage.
"It's not too late to tell Brother De Si now!" Kuai Yue explained to Cai Mao. "I still want to tie up with you, Brother Desi, you are the uncle of the country in the future, and you must carry our Kuai family!"
"Hmph," Cai Mao snorted coldly, "Isn't your family the sworn brother of His Royal Highness the King of Han!" On the surface, she was very unhappy, but Cai Mao was still very proud in her heart.
Who made you Kuai Yue have no sister?
"Hey!" Looking at Cai Mao's proud appearance, Kuai Yue smiled and shook his head, as long as Cai Mao can agree, it will not be in vain for him to come to Kuai Yue at the risk of death.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's soldiers and horses further shrank the defensive line, although Pang Shiyuan and Yizhou soldiers and horses combined had Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's double soldiers and horses, and they were still flanking from front to back.
But Shu Dao is not a plain after all, all the soldiers and horses can't be used, plus Cai Mao and Kuai Yue compressed the defense line, and they actually held it up with huge casualties.
In Yizhou, Chengdu is also surging.
Fa Zheng looked at the letter in his hand, and looked at it at a glance, but the more he looked at it, his eyes became more and more confused.
"What kind of person is this messenger?" Fa Zheng asked the porter who got the letter.
"It's a ragged person with many scars on his body, and he seems to have just returned from Shu Dao!" The porter on the side said.
"Shu Dao?" Fa Zheng thought for a while, and then asked, "Can you hear clearly, his accent?" ”
"Nope!" The porter shook his head, "The little one grew up in Chengdu Mansion since he was a child, and I can't hear what his accent is!" “
These gatehouses are ordinary people, ordinary people make a living, eating is the most important, rarely travel like a scholar, generally a place is a lifetime, at most is to run around the two counties to run relatives, how can you tell where the accent is.
"However, it's not our Chengdu accent!"
"Take me to him!" Hearing this, Fa Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and said to the porter.
"Yes!" Soon the porter took Fa Zheng to find the messenger.
"Fa, Lord Fazheng, you are Lord Fazheng? Quick, save our generals and don't drive! The person who delivered the letter didn't seem to have recovered yet, and shouted anxiously as soon as he saw Fa Zheng. (To be continued......)
