Chapter 418: The Cai Family Fights for Merit
Listening to his younger brother's sycophancy, Cai's chuckled again, and his ***** trembled into a cloud of ripples.
"You go to Kunyang this time, if you have the chance, you will kill Shen Wansan, Cao Fang said, as long as you offer Shen Wansan's head, you are willing to sacrifice five thousand catties of gold."
Cai Mao patted the hilt of the sword on his waist, "An unarmed man, beheading him is like slaughtering a dog's ear." ”
"Brother can't be careless, transfer Liu Qi away and then start, and then return to Xiangyang immediately after the negotiation is completed, it doesn't matter if Cao Fang has a little benefit, as long as Cao Fang settles down and no longer harasses Jingzhou, in time, Jingzhou will be the world of my Cai family, and when the time comes, the wealth will naturally be ours."
Cai Mao gently helped her sister beat her back, "What my sister said is extremely true, as long as Liu Qi is suppressed, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang will experience harm again, and it will be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." ”
Cai Shi enjoyed the warmth between his sister and brother, and narrowed his peach blossom eyes, "So, Cao Mengde's side can help, and what we have to deal with seriously is these Jingzhou officials, as for the other princes, they are just some wild dogs, give more bones, that's it." ”
"Measure the material resources of Jingzhou and the favor of the princes." Cai Mao laughed, "Brother, I completely understand!" ”
……
The war-torn states of Jing, Henan, and Yanzhou suddenly calmed down with the changes in the battle situation in Puyang, Kunyang, and Luyang.
Liu Wei did not move, and Liu Qi sent a messenger to negotiate with Cao Cao.
The battle reports from all parties were also gathered, and after Liu Wei finished understanding the war reports, he suggested that Liu Qi convene a meeting to unify his thinking.
"In the north, Zihu and Cao Ren fought fiercely near Fengqiu, and the battle situation could not be seen for the time being, and in the west, although Cao's army captured Luyang, it did not cause Jingzhou to shake, General Zhongye led the army to attack Luyang, and encountered an ambush halfway, although there were some losses, but successfully retreated to Nanyang, holding on to the ...... for reinforcements"
Yi Yi was talking about the overall battle situation, and Liu Qi shook his head and listened with relish.
"On the eastern front, our army stabilized the situation in Kunyang, although the Cao army came from all directions, but our army was well fed and the morale was available, and there was no problem in fishing the Cao army here, while in the south, the Cao army on the Shangcai line and Sun Wentai were at a standstill."
"In this way, Cao Cao didn't take much advantage, the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, but that's it!" Liu Qi made a concluding speech.
With a smile on his face, he nodded yes.
Wei Yangong is very famous, and he has not been reused under the Wenhe account, so he couldn't help but clench his fists and said: "The eldest prince, I hope that this negotiation will break down, let's work hard to fight a beautiful battle, once Cao Cao is defeated, except for the princes Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shu, who will dare to compete with Gongzi?" ”
"General Wenchang has made great contributions, and Qi will not forget each other." Liu Qi turned his head and looked at Wei Yan, his eyes full of encouragement.
Regarding Wei Yan, Liu Wei privately talked to Liu Qi in detail, and asked him to take Wei Yan under his command, although this person's loyalty is limited, but as long as he is entrusted with important tasks, his ability is not weaker than that of Wenpin, Liu Wei through this period of observation, completely gave up Wenpin, the first general of Jingxiang.
With Wei Yan and Huang Zhong in Jingzhou, Liu Wei has achieved his strategic goal, and no matter how the situation changes, it is impossible for the Cai family to cover the sky with one hand.
"General Zhongye's loss of Luyang, the eldest prince can be used to make an article, according to Shen's opinion, General Zhongye is too soft, has too many thoughts, and in many cases he has gone astray, General Wenchang is resolute and brave, and can be of great use."
When Liu Qi heard this, he nodded yes, and Yi Yi also stroked his beard and agreed, and inserted his henchmen in the key link through a victory, which is the best result.
……
Hanoi County, Liang County.
Tian Peng looked at the two thousand Cao soldiers under the city, and smiled at the person on the left: "Yu Ban and Xiahou Yuan, after the successful sneak attack on Luyang, they attacked everywhere, like a clown jumping Liang, they couldn't take Nanyang, and they came to Liang County again, there is Gongming here, they are in vain." “
Xu Huang didn't have any expression on his face, and after looking at it for a long time, he said: "Xiahou Miaocai is eager for revenge, you can use his psychology to frustrate their sharpness and increase the prestige of our Hanoi." ”
……
The beacon fires everywhere seemed to be poured silently by the rain god in the sky, and the lively scene was suddenly very quiet.
Xu Rong and Cao Ren broke away from contact, led the cavalry to leave Fengqiu, and went north to join Guo Jia, Cao Ren led troops to fetch it, and after breaking with Xu Rong, the troops exchanged fire, and both sides did not take advantage of it, and each collected its troops.
Yu Ban and Xiahou Yuan originally wanted to march into Nanyang and continue to intimidate Liu Biao, but Wen Ping was stationed in Nanyang, and Cao Jun's soldiers were weak in attacking the city, so after hearing the news of the negotiation, they led their troops to take Liang County, wanting to take advantage of Luo Yuan's absence, but they were lured into the city by Xu Huang for a burst of arrows, and they fled in defeat, and finally quieted down after retreating to Luyang.
Many princes who watched the battle were secretly surprised, He Feng, who was in Lunu City, got the news of Bao Xin's death, and was still fighting cocks and lackeys in the city, holding Huang Qingcang, unmoved by the battle situation at all......
……
Yuzhou, Kunyang City.
Cao Cao was led by Xiahoudun and camped outside the city with 3,000 men and horses.
The two sides set up temporary military tents under the city, and agreed to send ten men each to participate in the negotiations.
"President, Qi has never participated in such an action." Liu Qi knew that his father was very jealous of Cao Cao in Jingzhou, and now he went to negotiate with him, feeling a little dazed, and after everyone left, he left Liu Wei alone to ask for advice.
Liu Wei wanted Liu Qi, a stunned young man, to deal with Cao Apu, which was difficult for him, but Liu Qi was nominally the coach here, so he could only find an excuse to resign.
"Fraud, it's the easiest." Liu Wei made a suggestion without blushing, "Let Mr. Yi go for you." ”
"Report ...... Don't drive Liu Xian and Cai Mao to participate in the negotiations on behalf of Jingzhou, and they are about to arrive in Kunyang. ”
After listening to Tanma's report, Liu Qi's face darkened, "It seems that my father is preparing to use these two people to replace Qi and negotiate with Cao Mengde." ”
Liu Wei smiled, "Qi Shao might as well push the boat and let these two people go on a trip for you." ”
"Nope." Liu Qi's voice carried a hint of anger, "This battle is fought by us, why let the Cai family infiltrate when picking up the fruits of victory?" ”
Looking at Liu Qi's dark face, Liu Wei patted him on the shoulder and lowered his voice a little, "Of course there is no such good thing in the world, Qi Shao might as well ......be like this."
……
Cai Mao has a fire burning in his heart, in just a few days, his two capable brothers have died, and the prestige of the Cai family has fallen to the bottom after the battle between Wutong Mountain and Luyang.
The Cai family had to go into battle naked, and used all the tricks on the couch to maintain the prestige of the Cai family.
Liu Biao agreed to let Cai Mao negotiate on behalf of Jingzhou, but asked Liu Xian to go with him.
Liu Xian, as a special driver in Jingzhou, is the first person outside of Liu Biao, so the status of the negotiation is not low.
