Ma Liang came to Cao Cao with Kuai Yue's letter of surrender, and said: "The scholars of Jingzhou are all admirers of Wanghua, and they are willing to surrender to the prime minister together to destroy Wu Kou!" When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly happy and nodded slightly.

The absolute number of Jingzhou's main faction is greater than that of the main battle faction, which Cao Cao knows, in the past, Xun sent an envoy to Xiangyang, and when he came back, he also reported the relevant internal information to Cao Cao. Originally, when he led the army south, he even had a trace of fantasy: maybe he didn't have to really move the troops, Liu Biao would be cowardly, and under the persuasion of the main surrenderers, he took the initiative to unload his armor and surrender.

The reason is very simple, one is in Liu Biao, this person is just a Confucian scholar, and in his twilight years, he is not a hero who would rather die than submit to others, plus even if he surrenders, he can be ranked as a minister with his old prestige, and his life is safe after all, so it is very likely to take the initiative to admit defeat; Second, Jingzhou is different from Jiangdong, and Cai Mao, Huang Zu and other leading generals also have many intentions.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly frowned, ah, I still have several Jiangdong strategists here, and I almost forgot about them...... The biggest problem in Jiangdong is that all the ministers want to surrender, but they have no soldiers at hand, unlike Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and other generals, who can influence Sun Quan's decision-making. According to Cao Cao's original idea, he wanted to find an opportunity to win a big victory, destroy the southern army, and then put Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong back, or he could move Sun Quan to bow down in one fell swoop - that's why he kept detaining those people. But now, it seems that the situation is not as easy as I first thought. Why not take advantage of Zhou Yu's stumbling in Jingzhou to release those people back to Jiangdong? Or it can be said that Sun Quan was moved and Zhou Yu was summoned back to his teacher. Zhou Yu is gone. Do the people of Jingzhou still have the courage to continue to resist themselves?

Cao Mengde's train of thought drifted away in an instant, and then he hurriedly came back, so he asked Ma Liang: "What will you do if you want to descend?" "Actually, it's not just Kuai Yue, you Jingzhou scholars who don't want to continue to fight, what are you going to do next? Your original plan was just to persuade Liu Biao to admit defeat, but now Liu Biao has been imprisoned by Zhou Yu and others. Even if you persuade you, it's useless after all, so do you want to raise your hands and line up to come to me? Is it still possible to open the gates of Gangneung......

Ma Liang shook his head slightly. With a little regret, he said: "Jiangling may be difficult to take...... We also want to open the city gate directly to welcome you into the city, but it is a pity that now the military power is in the hands of Zhou Yu, and this person is well guarded. I managed to get out of town. Kuai Gong and the others don't have soldiers and horses in hand, so they can't offer you the city. However, "Jiangling is difficult to take, but Xiling is easy to obtain, the prime minister can send troops eastward, and Kuai Gong and others can buy Huang Zu's subordinates and give them a response." If you get Xiling and build a fortress along the river, you will not be afraid of the southern army advancing north. The prime minister can go all out to attack Gangneung. ”

The generals in Jiangling City were all replaced by people that Zhou Yu could trust. We can't mix sand into it, but Xiling in Jiangxia is different, although Huang Zu is temporarily the same as Zhou Yu, his subordinates are all from Jingzhou, and the possibility of us exerting influence is very great. You might as well attack Xiling first, but you can break one of Zhou Yu's arms.

Cao Cao said okay, I can send an army to attack Xiling first, and then how to contact the problem? Ma Liang replied: "Kuai Gong has sent Han Degao and Liu Shizong to Jiangxia, and the secret arrangement is arranged, and when the prime minister's army arrives, he will see him." ”

Han Degao is Han Song, and Liu Shizong is Liu Xian, and they are also Liu Biao's confidants and advisers, and they are in charge of confidential information. Interestingly, these two were once ordered to envoy to Xu Du, Han Song had a very happy conversation with Cao Cao, and after he went back, he said good things about the court in front of Liu Biao, and almost let Liu Biao be slaughtered; Liu Xian bumped into Cao Cao in the court, refuted the rumors that Jingzhou wanted to rebel, and tried his best to wash the floor for Liu Biao, but Cao Cao did not blame him, but praised him: "This pure minister is also." ”

In the original history, these two later followed Kuai Yue to surrender to Cao, Han Song was immediately worshiped by Da Honglu, and Liu Xian was always a high-ranking official in the Wei Dynasty.

So Ma Liang said, Han Song and Liu Xian have a very high prestige in Jingzhou and are also resourceful, and Kuai Gong secretly sent these two to Xiling, just wait for the imperial army to arrive, and they can take things from it - please rest assured.

This is basically the end of the business, Cao Cao soothed Ma Liang with kind words, and asked him if he would like to stay and go out? Ma Liang said: "Liang came on the order of Kuai Gong, and he should go back and forth, if he stays there, I am afraid that Zhou Yu will find out about it, and he will harm Kuai Gongye." And when Jingzhou is decided, he is willing to serve the imperial court. "While it's getting dark, I'm going to go back at once.

Cao Cao personally sent Ma Liang out of the camp, and then returned to continue the meeting. Yang Xiu expressed his skepticism: "Ma Ji often rushes away, and the Tao can be corresponding, but he does not make an appointment, so there is no deception?" Cao Cao didn't answer his question first, but turned his head slightly and looked at Xun You: "Is this fruit a different degree of handwriting?" ”

Xun You spread his hands and said that I had a relationship with Kuai Yue, and that was many years ago, although I had an impression of his handwriting, I didn't remember it very well, besides-"Anzhi Jiangnan has no Dong Gongrenye?" "Maybe there is anyone else like Dong Zhao, who is good at imitating other people's handwriting, and I'm not an expert in forensics, so I can't see it.

Cao Cao stroked his long beard lightly, and then replied to Yang Xiu: "Ma Liang refuses to stay for a long time, for fear that Zhou Yu will find out, which is also reasonable." The person who made the appointment is not in person, far away in Jiangxia, my soldiers have not moved, why is it regular? Dezu is too worried. Although he said this, his tone was clearly still a little hesitant.

Cheng Yujin said: "I watch Ma Ji often deal with the prime minister, and his color is indomitable, and he seems to be sincere. Then there are seven truths and three deceptions in this matter...... "At least seven points of the image are true-" Now I am trying to seek Xiling, but I can use it. However, the truth of the other is unknown, there will be many changes, and those who are not resourceful cannot make a decision on the spot. "Aren't we discussing going to Xiling? If what Ma Liang said was true, he would just take the opportunity to seize Jiangxia; I'm afraid that it is actually a trick to deceive and surrender, and the generals who are not intelligent enough will lead the troops forward, but they are easy to be deceived.

Cao Cao nodded, and immediately said: "I should go to myself." ”

So it was decided that the city of Jiangling still fluffed Cao Cao's banner, and at the same time asked Cao Ren to change his appearance to Cao Cao, and go to each camp to inspect the next day to paralyze the defenders in the city. Cao Cao himself personally led 40,000 horses three days later to falsely beat Cao Ren's banner. Divide the way and go to Xiling.

It is said that Cao Cao once talked about historical events with Shi Xun and talked about the Battle of Changping. Shi Xun asked Cao Cao: "I don't know something, the lord taught me." Cao Cao said, but it doesn't hurt to ask. It was Xun Nai who said: "Ma Fuzi is in Changping, and I don't know that the person in front of him is Bai Qi, and he is mistaken for Wang Yu, and even lost." If they know, what are the odds of winning? Qin won this battle, and the victory was in the fighting soldiers. Is it better to use Mouye? ”

Shi Xun has always thought that Zhao Kuo is not as unbearable as the traditional believes, and he is still "talking on paper", as if he can't do anything but brag. As a result, he suffered a crushing defeat in Changping. One reason lies in itself, as his father Zhao Hao said: "Soldiers, death, and easy to say." "It's overconfidence. The use of troops was not prudent enough. The second reason is that the Qin people have done a good job of secrecy. Zhao Kuo didn't suddenly realize until after being besieged that the enemy general in front of him was not Wang Ji, but Bai Qi, who was powerful in the world.

So Shi Xun asked, if Zhao Kuo had already known that the enemy would be Bai Qi, would he be more serious? Will there be a chance of winning?

Cao Cao smiled slightly: "The general will change slightly due to the enemy's situation, if you know that it is, Zhao Kuo may dare not to advance." However, his people were light and did not encounter setbacks. Even if the enemy starts with white, there is no luck. "Look at the problem from two sides. The first is that Zhao Kuo will inevitably adopt different strategies because of the face of different opponents, and the second is that even if he changes his strategy, he is still not an opponent for nothing, and he may not lose so badly, but he can't win ironclad.

Shi Xun thanked Cao Cao, and concluded that "it is a well-known general, and it is unpredictable, and it will be high." "He originally wanted to remind Cao Cao, don't despise Zhou Yu and the others just because they are not famous, then you will definitely suffer in the future. However, the meaning that Cao Cao understood from this was: if you hide my general, you can break the enemy - concealing the identity and position of your true general is also a strategy to win.

You see, Yuan Shao was in Xiuren that day, didn't he almost deceive me? This is a lesson to be learned.

So Cao Cao deliberately played with a flower today and exchanged the flags of himself and Cao Ren.

As soon as the discussion was completed, he was about to launch, but suddenly, the inspection of the military academy captured another person, an ordinary Jingzhou sergeant. This person claimed to be a dead soldier of the Cai family, and he came with Cai Mao's secret book on an adventure, and when he presented the secret book, Cao Cao unfolded it and took a look, and couldn't help but lock his eyebrows.

The words in the letter were concise, but the words were very clear, Jiangling City had now been accused of being in the hands of Zhou Yu, Liu Qi, Liu Pan and others, and he had been imprisoned, so he was willing to surrender to Cao. However, although he wanted to surrender Cao, he couldn't do anything at this time, so he could only make a list and report to Cao Cao that anyone in Jiangling City was not in the same party as Zhou Yu, and he could use it during the war, and he should stay in office after the war.

Of course, for the sake of safety, this list did not fall on the pen, but ordered the dead to memorize it and recite it to Cao Cao in person - including Kuai Yue, Han Song, Liu Xian, Fu Xun and other seventeen people from Jingzhou, but there is no name of Ma Liang.

In the end, Cai Mao also said that although he was imprisoned, there were still some old subordinates in the army, and he was occasionally able to communicate with him, and he heard that Zhou Yu had recently moved his troops to Jiangxia, and he was afraid that he would defend the west and attack the east, and launch a round of counterattack in Jiangxia, so please pay attention to Cao Cao.

According to the old rules, Cao Cao handed over the letter to Xun Yu after reading it, and then passed it back by Xun Gongda, looking at the generals. Then he asked the dead man, "Where is the heterogeneity?" The dead man said: "He is also imprisoned by the eldest prince, and he is not allowed to communicate with the outside world." ”

Wang Cang was shocked on the spot: "In this way, what Xi Ma Liang ......" was glared at by Cao Cao and blocked the words back. Immediately, Cao Cao ordered someone to take the dead man out of the big tent so that he could be entertained, and he took out the letter sent by Ma Liang the day before yesterday, and placed it in one place with the letter of Cai Mao handed back by Xun You and others, repeatedly compared, and was silent.

Yang Xiu said: "There must be a fraud!" Anyway, he had already suspected the letter sent by Ma Liang the day before yesterday, so he followed this line of thought and analyzed it in detail: "Hou Shuyun is a prisoner, and he is not allowed to communicate with the outside world, so I am afraid that he will not be able to send Ma Ji to submit the book." Ma Ji is often a celebrity in Jingzhou, although he has no position, he should also be guarded by Zhou Yu, and An can be sent out lightly? Now it is common sense to send the dead. ”

It is impossible for Zhou Yu not to beware of the Jingzhou surrender faction in the city and Cao Cao's secret communication, so anyone who is a little famous, he must firmly watch it, and the chance of Ma Liang being able to escape is very small. As for Cai Mao's small soldiers sneaking out of the city, it will be difficult to guard against. So the latter letter is true, there must be a trap there in Jiangxia - "The prime minister can't go in person!"
