On the Yangtze River east of Wulin Harbor, Sun Quan's fleet was slowly heading towards Wulin.

After Sun Quan retreated to Chaisang, he has been paying attention to the changes in Jingzhou, and Sun Quan had already sent Liu Biao a letter of joint resistance to Cao, but it was very strange that Liu Biao had not given a reply.

In fact, Liu Biao had already received Sun Quan's letter, but Liu Biao knew very well what Sun Quan was planning to do. Their time is running out, Liu Qi and Liu Cong are not Sun Quan and Cao Cao's opponents in any respect, and uniting Sun Quan to resist Cao Cao may be able to repel Cao Cao for a while, but after Cao Cao is defeated, Jingzhou is probably Sun Quan, for the sake of the people of Jingzhou, Liu Biao finally did not agree to Sun Quan's joint strategy.

The abacus in Liu Biao's heart, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao were very clear, but Sun Quan was not clear, after hearing that there was a change in Xiangyang City in Jingzhou, Sun Quan hurriedly raised troops and rushed to Wulin Port. If you want to fish in troubled waters, take the opportunity to get some benefits.

"Lord!" On Sun Quan's commanding battleship, Lu Su walked to the deck.

"Zijing? How did you get out? ”

"Lord, please think twice about going to Wulin." Ever since Sun Quan decided to go to Wulin, Lu Su was very worried. Lu Su can see that Jingzhou is the people's desire for the people, Jingzhou is the only comfortable state and county in the Han Dynasty after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and has not experienced any war, the attitude of the family is to defend the top, Cao Cao's army went south, and pacifying Jingzhou is just around the corner, Sun Quan really has no need to wade into troubled waters.

"Zijing also thinks that General Ben is wrong? Could it be that this general, with more than 100,000 men with armor, is going to submit to a grand governor? Sun Quan looked at Lu Su with an angry face, sending troops to Jingzhou was not only to reap benefits, but also to control his own military and political power.

"My lord?" Lu Su glanced at Sun Quan. I can't go on. The contradiction between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu is getting bigger and bigger. He didn't dare to pick it out in the open, but he fought fiercely in the dark.

This time, Sun Quan insisted on leading troops to Jingzhou, just to be angry with Zhou Yu. For the first time, the beliefs of the two men collided.

"Zijing, is Bofu's foundation going to be destroyed in the hands of Zhongmou?" Before leaving, Lu Su went to meet Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu's words made Lu Su feel helpless.

Sun Jian became the Marquis of Wucheng from a commoner, and he made a lot of meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty and deserved the title. But on the other hand, it is also the grace of the Han family to know the Sun family. Without the Great Han, there would be no Sun.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu inherited Sun Jian's loyalty to the Han Dynasty, and devoted themselves to supporting the Han family, without two hearts. But the situation is changing, and Cao Cao, who only wanted to be the general of the expedition to the north, is now also in control of the government and has the heart to replace. The traitor of the troubled times and the capable minister of the world are the true portrayal of the heroes created by the times.

Sun Quan is different from Sun Ce, Sun Quan is an ambitious person, and it is also because of this ambition that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are getting farther and farther apart.

Sun Quan wants to dominate one side. Be the founder of the country. Zhou Yu wanted to support the Han family and be a famous minister through the ages. The clash of two beliefs. Let the Sun Group make matters worse.

"Gong Jin, the Tao is not the same, I am just repaying the kindness of the Sun family." In the end, Lu Su could only answer Zhou Yu with a helpless word, Sun's defeat may have been decided, but as a courtier, he had to fight his loyalty.

"Report! Lord, the vanguard of the front and the Jingzhou naval army are at war. Just as Lu Su was leaving his mind, the spies of the vanguard came to report that the Jingzhou Navy suddenly attacked Sun's vanguard ship, and many soldiers fell into the water and died.

"What? Didn't you make it clear that we are Chaisan's army? Are you here to rescue Jingzhou? Sun Quan listened to the spies' report and was taken aback, what happened to the Jingzhou Navy, he hadn't identified himself yet, and the Jingzhou Navy's army had started.

"My lord, we have already made it clear that we are coming, but the Jingzhou Navy is still attacking our army, they still said."

"Say what?"

"Cao Jun is a wolf, Sun Jun is a tiger, the wolves go south to devour the tiger, and those who know the times are Junjie!" The soldier told Sun Quan the words of the Jingzhou army, Sun Quan's face changed, and he knew in his heart that Jingzhou Cai Mao was going to fight to the death with himself.

Cao Jun is a wolf, but Cai Mao would rather serve Cao Cao than be with Sun Quan. Gobbling it up? It seems that Cai Mao also regards himself as a hungry wolf and wants to devour Sun Quan's tiger.

Sun Quan's face was like a pig's liver, he didn't expect Cai Mao to be like this, and he called without even saying a word.

Cai Mao ordered people to attack Sun Quan's water army, firstly, to give Cao Cao an obvious hint, and secondly, it was a secret in Cai Mao's heart, Liu Biao wanted to use Sun Jian to contain Cai Mao, but Cai Mao secretly provoked the relationship between Liu Biao and Sun Jian, and finally led to Sun Jian's death in Jingzhou, how could Cai Mao serve Sun Quan?

"Lord, the vanguard of our army is invincible, it seems that the Jingzhou Navy has been prepared for a long time, Cai Mao has always had a grudge against our army, and this persuasion is still the best." Lu Su is not a stupid person, he has long guessed that Sun Jian's death is related to Cai Mao in Jingzhou, but this problem cannot be clarified, even Sun Quan may have guessed the clue, for the sake of the overall situation, there is only forbearance. After all, uniting the princes of the world to resist Cao is the only way out for Sun Quan.

"Retreat!" Sun Quan saw that the vanguard in front of him was defeated as soon as he came into contact with Cai Mao's army, and he was very angry in his heart, the water army he trained was actually inferior to the Jingzhou water army, but the strength was there, and Sun Quan had no choice but to retreat for now.

Cai Mao had just defeated Sun Quan's army, and in Xiangyang City, Cao Cao had arrived at the main hall of the Chinese army, and Lu Rui came to meet Cao Cao with the civil and military forces of Jingzhou. On the second day after entering Xiangyang, Cao Ang led an army of 50,000 to the four counties in the south of Jingzhou and surrendered the Taishou in various places. Although there is a piece of paper from Liu Qi, Cao Cao still has to use some force to completely take over these places.

"This extraordinary performance won my heart, and after returning to Xudu, this appearance has its own reward." Sitting on the seat, Cao Cao looked at Lu Rui with satisfaction, he was able to use counter-tactics to make Jingzhou infighting, and Lu Rui's wisdom was becoming more and more mature.

"Prime Minister Xie!"

"Well, Xenodu, the prime minister heard about your wisdom in Xudu, today our army is stationed in Jingzhou, I don't know what good strategy the xenodu has to appease Jingzhou for the prime minister?" Cao Cao looked at Kuai Yue, how much level does this Jingzhou No. 1 strategist have?

"Prime Minister. The more you offer the Ten Strategies of Pingjing. I hope the prime minister will point out and criticize. Under Lu Rui's reminder. Kuai Yue had already prepared to offer Cao Cao strategies that would allow Cao Cao to appease Jingzhou quickly.

"Oh? It turns out that Xenomorph has a good plan for a long time, and he will present it to this Xiangguo. ”

"No!"

Subsequently, Kuai Yue presented Cao Cao with ten strategies to pacify Jingzhou. The main content is to use Cao's kindness to influence the barbarians in Jingzhou and use the barbarians for Cao Cao's use, so that Cao's foundation in Jingzhou will be stable. At the same time, Kuai Yue said in the table that the family in Jingzhou would fully support Cao Cao.

"Not bad, not bad. Xenomorph really won my heart, and when Benxiang decided to return north, he brought Xenodu back to Xudu to meet His Majesty. Cao Cao was very satisfied with Kuai Yue's performance, especially Kuai Yue's suggestion, using Cao's kindness to influence Jingzhou barbarians, not using Han family kindness to influence barbarians, the two words are different, showing Kuai Yue's loyalty, Kuai Yue is a retainer of the Cao family. Not a retainer of the Liu family.

"Prime Minister Xie!" After Kuai Yue was affirmed by Cao Cao, he was also very happy in his heart. Returning to Xudu, there are people in the Kuo family in the capital, and his eldest brother stays in Jingzhou, and the day of the rise of the Kuai family is not far off.

"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded and looked at Lu Rui with both eyes.

"The prime minister has been tired of traveling for many days, it is better to rest early, Rui has prepared singing, dancing and dinner for the prime minister, please eat." Lu Rui saw that Cao Cao's eyes were different, and he already understood what Cao Cao was thinking, Lao Cao was out of the house, there was no woman by his side, and women were addicted.

"Well, what you say is reasonable, you all stand down." Cao Cao smiled slightly, signaling everyone to retreat.

"Xeno, you've arranged everything?" Walking out of the main hall of the Chinese army, Lu Rui glanced at Kuai Yue.

"Please rest assured, Mrs. also understands the situation of the Cai family, and the Prime Minister was a hero at that time, and he will not insult Mrs."

"Okay, we'll know tomorrow, you're a celebrity to prepare for the wedding." If Lao Cao really gave Cai's to that, Lu Rui would push the boat down the river and win over Cai Mao.

"Wedding things?"

"Xeno, if the wedding is not grand, Cai Mao may still have a grudge, if that is the case, this information will be meaningless." What Lu Rui is holding in his hand is the information that Cai Mao is attacking Sun Quan, it seems that Cai Mao's hint is obvious, it depends on what Cao Cao does.

"The more you understand, Hou Ye is wise!" After speaking, Kuai Yue arched his hand and left.

The next day, early in the morning, Lu Rui and Kuai Yue were called to Cao Cao's study.

In the study, Cao Cao was slightly angry, looking at Lu Rui and Kuai Yue, what happened last night made him embarrassed. I thought it was Lu Rui who arranged a singer for himself to enjoy, but I didn't expect it to be Liu Biao's widow and Cai Mao's sister!

Cao Cao was very unhappy in his heart, and his reputation was even worse this time. You just took over someone else's state and county and went to occupy someone else's wife, Cao Mengde, the fame of the wife Cao resounded again.

"Bufan, you arranged this at the time, right?" Cao Cao glanced at Lu Rui, without Lu Rui's approval, a person who surrendered in Kuai Yue would not have the courage.

"Prime Minister, Rui is for the sake of the overall situation, your Excellency accepts Cai's family, you can get tens of thousands of sailors in Jingzhou, a woman is not enough to worry about, the Prime Minister has always liked to do his own thing, so why bother to look at the color of the world?" Lu Rui was not afraid of Cao Cao, but "fought with reason".

"Of course you know this, but why don't you know it?" Seeing Lu Rui calling himself the Prime Minister, Cao Cao knew that Lu Rui was talking about business, indeed, a woman has nothing, and the army of Jingzhou is a treasure. But Lu Rui's concealment made Cao Cao angry in his heart, and he had a feeling of being calculated.

"Prime Minister, Rui is also afraid that the adults will not be able to make up their minds, so they made this decision, this plan is Rui's plan, and the future infamy will be borne by Rui." Lu Rui replied cautiously to Cao Cao. Externally, it must be Cao Cao who forcibly married Cai, but internally, Lu Rui is going to block it for Cao Cao, this matter is not about the prime minister, it is Lu Rui's strategy.

"You." Cao Cao pointed at Lu Rui with his finger, this adopted son and son-in-law is too pampered, and he is unscrupulous to do this kind of thing, which makes Lao Cao feel helpless.

"Prime Minister, the more I think this matter is not to blame Hou Ye, if the Prime Minister wants to do royal things, I am afraid this is also a clever move, throw stones and ask for directions!" Kuai Yue saw that although Cao Cao's face was angry, he didn't blame Lu Rui, so he had a bottom line in his heart and proposed another plan to Cao Cao.

What a great quartilla! As soon as Lu Rui heard Kuai Yue's words, he cast a look of admiration, the first strategist in Jingzhou was really extraordinary. Changing Lu Rui's strategy a little has become a clever plan again.

Who was Cai's deceased husband? Former Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, a relative of the Han Dynasty, an imperial uncle, and a prince of the Han Dynasty, his throne is only under the emperor and the princes. One step further is the Son of Heaven. Cao Cao's desire to replace the Han family was already obvious, but to test the opinions of the ministers, he needed a clever move, and Kuai Yue borrowed Lu Rui's strategy to present a clever move.

Throw stones and ask for directions! Cao Cao's marriage will definitely be on the court, and if it is on the court, there will definitely be people who support it and someone who opposes it, and the person who opposes it is Cao Cao's resistance to the Han Dynasty. This move is not high, even Lu Rui didn't think of it for a while.

Cao Cao listened to Kuai Yue's words, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted to the magic of this strategy, Cao Cao smiled slightly, showing a smug expression.

"What's going on over there?" Cao Cao saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and Lu Rui also admitted his mistake, so he directly asked Cai Mao about the situation. Lu Rui, you made a plan to let Lao Cao drill into it, if Cai Mao didn't appreciate it, wouldn't Lao Cao lose his wife and lose his soldiers?

"Prime Minister rest assured, this is yesterday's battle report, the Prime Minister is tired from the journey, and he is afraid of disturbing the Prime Minister, so he did not submit it, now please take a look at the Prime Minister." Lu Rui smiled and presented the information of Cai Mao's attack on Sun Quan's army, and Cai Mao's hints were understood by fools.

"Oh?" Cao Cao took the information, looked at it again, and only then did he understand why Lu Rui did this, which not only counted Cao Cao, but also Cai Mao. This is also right, I think that when De Jue competed with himself for beauty, he was also a number one, and he was in charge of the Jingzhou Navy for many years, and he was also a hero, since he was a hero, he had to give others a step down.

"It turns out that Extraordinary has a plan! Since De Jue has such a mind, he will set off tomorrow and go to Wulin, tell De Jue about his true appearance, and at the same time invite De Jue to come to Xiangyang to attend the wedding, Cai's father is no longer there, the eldest brother is the father, you tell De Jue like this! Cao Cao waved his hand and signaled that Lu Rui and Kuai Yue could retreat.

Lu Rui and Kuai Yue glanced at each other, and then stepped back to arrange a marriage for Cao Cao.

The next day, Lü Rui took Cao Cao's letter to the Wulinshui military camp and proposed to Cai Mao.

Cai Mao saw Cao Cao's statement and heard the words that the eldest brother is his father. Cai Mao's heart blossomed. What does it mean for the eldest brother to be a father, Cai Mao is very clear, if nothing else, just worship the high hall above the church, Cai Mao will sit on the main seat and let Cao Cao kneel and worship, thinking of this, Cai Mao felt very excited.

It is certainly happy to let Cao Cao lose face, but the marriage between the Cao family and the Cai family means that the Cai family's status in Jingzhou can be kept, which is the happiest thing as the head of the family.

Cai Zhong and Cai He, the two idiots, did not have the same high consciousness as Cai Mao, but they felt very happy to climb the big tree of Lao Cao, and immediately persuaded Cai Mao to lead the troops to surrender.

Cai Mao glared at the two of them, two wastes, so quickly softened. Then Cai Mao said some big truths, he surrendered to Cao Cao for the happiness of the people of Jingzhou or his sister, Lu Rui didn't take it seriously, and responded a few words along with Cai Mao's words, asking others to have tens of thousands of sailors, and saying a few more good words.

After a period of greetings, Cai Mao led the army back to Xiangyang with Lu Rui and officially surrendered to Cao Cao. (To be continued......)
