1001 Prepare for Xiangyang
Everyone in the world knew that Cao Chong was dead, and now standing in front of him like this, Cao Bing was shocked. There are many older soldiers in the army who have seen Cao Chong, although many years have passed, but the appearance of his childhood is still vaguely recognizable, Cao soldiers finally expressed their willingness to sincerely submit, anyway, they are all members of the Cao family, and they have sworn to serve the king of Hanxing.
Subsequently, these people all changed into Yiling's military uniforms and officially merged into the Yiling army, and there were no second thoughts.
Wang Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and not many days later, Mo Qianxun came again, frowned and said, "Baoyu, Yiling City is small, it's really not good to feed so many troops." ”
Cut, come to act again, let Cao Chong come out of the head It's you, and now it's still you who are crying bitterly, Wang Baoyu said disdainfully: "Qianxun, beating around the bush is not your specialty, you must have thought about where to place the soldiers and horses in your heart, right?" ”
Mo Qianxun smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed west, and said, "There are also Xiangyang and Fancheng." ”
"You mean, let's go to Xiangyang and Fancheng?" Wang Baoyu understood and was a little surprised.
"Cao Cao is dead, Cao Chong has come out, there is no friendship at all, and now he has become hostile to Cao Pi. Now I have 40,000 troops, and I can attack Xiangyang, one is to garrison troops, and the other is to reject Cao Pi in the north. Mo Qianxun saw that Wang Baoyu didn't speak, gave a deep salute, and said sincerely: "Baoyu, Cao Pisu is at odds with you, and Xiahoudun's defeat has increased his anger. ”
Wang Baoyu was silent for a moment and asked, "How many soldiers and horses does Cao Ren have?" ”
"As far as I know, plus the remnants of Xiahoudun, there should be 60,000." Mo Qianxun said.
"Alas, if you didn't say it earlier, then you should let the army of Jiangdong stay, take Xiangyang and leave." Wang Baoyu thought about it and said with a little complaint.
"Jiangdong must not be allowed to help in this matter, once the coalition forces take Xiangyang, how should it be distributed with Jiangdong?" Mo Qianxun asked rhetorically.
"Well, you are still thoughtful, but our army of 40,000 can beat Cao Ren? This person was very tenacious in the battle, and the second brother Guan had more troops than us back then, and he didn't even fight a small Fancheng. We can't play with the lives of the soldiers. Wang Baoyu was still a little worried.
"I'm not afraid that you will be angry, Guan Yu is stubborn and self-serving, and his courage is expected, and failure is expected. Although our troops are insufficient, we will definitely be able to take Xiangyang. Mo Qianxun said confidently.
Cao Pi has turned his face, it is not clear when Liu Bei turned his back, and Sun Quan has intended Yiling, Wang Baoyu can be described as a group of wolves looking around, from the current form, only Yiling is a place, not only can not develop and grow, but also can not resist powerful foreign enemies.
"Good! Then we will send troops to Xiangyang and drive Cao Ren away. Wang Baoyu clapped.
Mo Qianxun's heart was full of joy, waiting for Wang Baoyu's words, and he began to arrange it all the time.
Fan Jinqiang and the others, who had just won the battle, were even more confident when they learned the news, and immediately began to train the newly surrendered soldiers, and at the same time build more guns and crossbows and unicorn beasts.
Going back to the fascinated Niu Jin, when he woke up, he was already in the cell of Yiling, his body was still tied, but the medicine on his legs had obviously been changed, and the medicine was not bad, and the sores were rapidly scabbing and healing.
Niu Jin scolded, saying that he was not martial or anything like that, but he just scolded his throat, except for the one who changed the medicine and delivered the meal, no one listened to his nonsense.
originally thought that Wang Baoyu would be like other heroes, in order to subdue the general, he took the initiative to come over to loosen his ties, sincerely persuaded him, shed a few tears, and then entertained him at a banquet.
But for several days, I didn't even see a shadow of Wang Baoyu, and Niu Jin's face was a little unbearable. At the beginning, they were bent on dying and refused to eat anything, so the jailers pried open their mouths and poured rice soup into them, choking so much that they sprayed rice grains in their golden noses, and they were miserable, and they couldn't die anyway.
After a full week, Niu Jin's strong will gradually collapsed, and the whole person became sluggish. At this time, someone finally came, it was Wang Baoyu's military advisor Mo Qianxun.
"Hmph, Hugh wants to be a lobbyist for Wang Baoyu!" Niu Jin said it first, in fact, there is still a period of hope in his heart, but he doesn't want to admit it.
However, Mo Qianxun ignored him, but asked him to put him in a car and take him around Yiling City without saying a word.
I have long heard that Yiling is prosperous, and when Niu Jin saw it today, it was really true. The buildings are new and towering, the flow of people is bustling, the cries of selling come and go, the men are neatly dressed and polite, and the beautiful women often hang out and dress luxuriously.
After a round trip, Niu Jin was sent back to the cell, and Mo Qianxun was about to leave.
Niu Jin couldn't hold it anymore, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why should Master Mo pretend to cherish words like gold, it's really unpleasant!" ”
Mo Qianxun smiled slightly, then turned around and asked, "General Niu, there is something unclear about Qianxun, why are the soldiers fighting?" ”
Hmph, Niu Jin turned his head and didn't speak, Mo Qianxun said: "The conquest is only for the people to be safe, the people of Li are rich, the road hears the sound of reading, and the night can not be closed, and the Yi Tomb built by King Hanxing has already done this." To surrender or not to surrender, please think twice about the general. ”
"I'd rather die ......"
"Think again!"
Mo Qianxun repeated it again, said that, turned around and left, and ordered someone to loosen Niu Jin's ties and send wine and meat.
Niu Jin looked at the wine and meat in front of him, whether to eat or not, and seemed very hesitant. If you eat it, it will taste like surrender, if you don't eat it, the food is tempting, it is mouthwatering, and besides, his current body will not be able to escape at all.
In the end, Niu Jin still ate the things in front of him cleanly, and he was still a little unsatisfied, thinking that it would be the last good meal, and he would go on the road when he was full.
At that moment, a boy of eight or nine years old appeared outside the cell, looking ugly, with small eyes and smiling at him.
"Little doll, what are you doing?" Niu Jin asked.
"I'm in charge, you brute bull, I don't know life and death!" Pipe Pipe.
"Could it be that this wine and food are poisonous?" Niu Jin was taken aback at first, then sat down with his buttocks, and said stiffly: "The husband has a life and death, and he can't be dishonored!" ”
"If you die on the battlefield, you can achieve fame, but if you are unjustly killed, then it is a different matter." The little pipe nodded.
"You are also sharp when you arrive, you must have obtained the true inheritance of Wang Baoyu."
"Hehe, General Niu's big head can also be seen clearly." Guan Zhen first lost a sentence, and then said: "King Hanxing is by no means a villain, of course there is no poison in the wine and food, you can rest assured." ”
"What are you doing here to see me?" Niu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You were born in the low-lying part of the Han River, you were born in the water, you were almost washed away, and then your parents died, and you grew up in a neighbor's house, and you bravely injured your neighbor's partner to escape the government's looting along the Han River." Pipe Pipe.
"How do you know such a secret?" Niu Jin was stunned.
