Only then did Liu Qi see the stunned two, and pointed his long sword at Cai Mao with a "swish", "Where are you left and right, tie up Deju!" ”

Before Cai Mao could react, he saw a group of guards hugging him, kicked him in the knee, and immediately knocked him to the ground, and several people pressed him to the ground and couldn't move.

"Big ...... Big...... Grand Prince. Liu Xian felt as if he had a dream, where was this to see Liu Qi, it was clearly to see Uncle Hades.

"Don't drive your lord, please sit down on the side, this Cai He lost Luyang, so that our army fell into passivity, although it is dead, but the Cai family can't get out of it, tie up Deju, wait for Qi and don't drive to finish talking, and then discuss with the generals how to deal with the Cai family."

After that, he pulled Liu Xian, didn't look at Cai Mao again, and led a few generals into the back hall, Cai Mao was about to speak, but was stuffed into his mouth by a rag, except for "uh-huh" twice, he couldn't say a word.

Several guards dragged Cai Mao out of the lobby, tied a stake next to the big ding in the backyard, the fire burned bigger and bigger, and after a while, Cai Mao was sweating all over his body, and several soldiers didn't look at him, tidied up their outfits and left the backyard.

"Big ...... Eldest Prince, you ...... How do you treat General Cai like this? As soon as Liu Xian entered the inner room, he hurriedly pleaded for Cai Mao.

"Smack!"

Liu Qi slapped the table, his face was full of anger, "This Cai He lost the fighter plane and trapped my army in danger, Qi treated their Cai family like this, it was already in the face of his father, can't my sword drink blood?" ”

Liu Xian "sighed" in his heart, and did not dare to persuade him anymore, for fear that the eldest prince would be angry, and threw Cai Mao into the Dading Cooking, how to go back to Xiangyang to explain to the lord and Cai.

"Don't drive just right, this negotiation, Qi disagrees, Cao Agui lost Luyang and Xiping, and the army's morale is already in turmoil, now don't drive to explain our conditions on behalf of Jingzhou, let Dongjun out, and take out another 5,000 catties of gold to Qi Huahua."

Liu Xian's mouth opened wide, but he heard Liu Qi continue: "If he still wants to fight, you tell him that Qi will accompany him at any time, and his head will be tied to the horse by Qi at any time." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xian was dumbfounded, and kept asking himself in his heart, "Is this Liu Qi?" Is this the eldest son of Liu? ”

……

Under the city of Kunyang, Cao's army marched.

"Drink this cup to your heart's content."

Cao Cao held a banquet in the military tent and was in a very happy mood.

"Gong Cao, how is the situation in Dongjun now?"

Before the negotiation, Cao Cao's bottom line was to exchange Puyang and Luyang for Kunyang, but Jingzhou didn't talk about these at all, and exchanged Luyang for Kunyang alone, and Cai Mao easily agreed.

"Cao Gong accurately took advantage of the internal contradictions in Jingzhou, so that with the strategic location of Dongjun, our side has taken the lead in both Yanzhou and Hanoi, and even Jizhou will have a certain impact."

The speaker was Liu Fu, who had just persuaded Yuan Shu's generals Qi Ji and Qin Yi to surrender from Huainan, and had just been appointed as Cao Cao's subordinate and had won his trust.

Cao Cao and the generals all laughed loudly, looking very happy, and seeing that Mao Jue's face did not show much appreciation, he couldn't help asking: "Xiaoxian has something to say." ”

Mao Jue nodded, and shook his head again, "Jue always feels that it is too smooth, and it is too simple, and his heart is always unsteady." ”

Cao Cao walked over and sat beside Mao Jue, "Xiaoxian, of course I can understand your feelings, but the contradiction between Cai Mao and Liu Qi, they make no secret of it, we are called a fisherman." ”

"He Feng is still spending time drinking?" There was something strange in Mao Jue's voice.

"The scout came to report that He Feng was holding a large-scale lantern festival in Wangducheng, saying that it was going to be the most grand one of the Han Dynasty.

"This ......" Mao Jue was speechless for a while, just shook his head.

"Xiaoxian, Yuan Benchu and Gongsun Zan fought at the boundary bridge, there is no difference between victory and defeat at present, after we finish talking with Jingzhou, we should talk to Sun Wentai, I believe Zhichang will not let us down." Cao made a gesture, drank a glass with Mao Jue, and then placed the wine glass on the table.

"Cao knows that Xiaoxian is worried about He Feng, after all, his performance this year is very amazing, but now Zhongshan County is stable, I heard that he has reached an alliance with Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army, and now he is firmly on his feet, young and frivolous, it is normal to indulge in a little indulgence, let's just use this time to make a big deal."

Mao Jue raised his glass and toasted Cao Cao, "Cao Gong's current major events, Jue thinks there are two points. ”

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Mao Jue said softly: "First, after taking Dongjun, don't stimulate Yanzhou again, the yellow scarves in Qing and Xu Erzhou are overflowing, let's focus on these two states, if He Feng really sinks, Yanzhou will be chaotic in less than two years, and then we will easily clean up the mess." ”

"What Xiaoxian said is extremely true, I don't know what the second point is?"

In terms of intelligence and talent, Mao Jie is not as good as Xun Yu and Xi Zhong, but in terms of strategic vision, Mao Jie is firmly the first person in Cao Jun, Cao Cao saw this very clearly, and asked softly.

"Second, let's continue to nominally respect Yuan Shao as the master, if necessary, we can also help, Gongsun Chan is strong south, if Yuan Benchu loses, Jizhou will be Gongsun Chan in the bag, now Yuzhou is deadlocked, Jingzhou is not available for the time being, Qing and Xu Erzhou are our next focus, and we must not let people take the lead."

This strategy Mao Jue came one by one, and Cao Cao and the generals were amazed.

"Now wait for Miaocai and Wen Ze to return with their troops, and Zixiao and Wen Ze to hold Dongjun and Chenliu, so that we can shift our focus to the east." Liu Fu stroked his beard and said.

"Luo Yuan in Hanoi, who helped Shen Wansan this time, is really a big trouble." As soon as Cao Cao said this, Liu Fu said with a smile: "The land of Hanoi, between Si, Jing, Henan, Hebei, and these five states, there will not be much to do, and you can slowly figure it out." ”

"Report ...... Luyang and Xiping War Report. ”

When the two defeats came, no matter how deep Ren Cao Cao's city was in, his face was also pale.

"In the middle of the plan, Liu Qi asked Cai Mao and Liu Xian to stabilize us, but he led his troops to attack Luyang and Xiping, and the battle situation took a sharp turn, which ...... This...... What can I do about it? ”

There was a dead silence in the tent, no one expected Liu Qi to come to such a place, I thought that he had taken a big advantage, especially to take Dongjun, Gunzhou was not in danger, and Hanoi couldn't move, but now it was like a dream of Huang Liang, but the reality after waking up was bloody.

"Cao Gong."

Xiahoudun wiped away his tears and shouted for battle, "Now there is only a desperate battle to defeat Kunyang, otherwise the grain channel of the military division has been cut off, and I am afraid it will ......."

Although Kunyang was also surrounded by Cao's army, the city was high and there was a lot of grain, and there was no problem in holding on for a while, if Sun Wentai took the opportunity to storm Runan, Cao Cao shuddered when he thought of this.
