Do benefits really matter?

It's really important, for the vast majority of people.

Cao Cao's current ambition is like an elephant hiding behind an ant, but for the great interests of the Yingchuan clan, they all chose to pretend not to know, and they all chose to believe that Cao Cao must be a great Han Chunchen who revived the Han Dynasty.

They did not dissuade Cao Cao from killing, torture, and all kinds of means for this path, and when the status of celebrities and scholars gradually became a status symbol and the cornerstone of promotion, it became much easier to break their will.

It's like who doesn't have a flexible moral bottom line.

Zhao Yan and Ma Liang hit it off, and of course Guan Ping would not continue to sue in front of Lejin, and also said that he was willing to make peace with Zhao Yan for the sake of Dahan's face, and everyone would work together to build a better situation in the future of Dahan.

Guan Ping has already said that he has received those armors, and the armor raised by Zhao Yan has naturally officially become his private property, and this "heavy bribe" has also greatly weakened Zhao Yan's ability to make things happen in the future.

They agreed to do business together in the future and build Jingzhou into a better place.

Zhao Yan couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only nod silently and accept the bribe.

·

After settling the matter of Zhao Yan, the troops who were stationed in Jiangbei before also began to evacuate one after another to recuperate.

The military forces in Jingzhou were nominally commanded by Cao Ren, but now that Cao Ren was guarding Jiangling, Dangyang's full favor could not help much, and the heavy responsibility of supervising grain and grass and crusading against the rebels in Jingzhou was handed over to Le Jin and Xu Huang.

"Frankly, what do you think is the solution to the battle of Gangneung?" Lejin attaches great importance to Guan Ping's opinion, and seeing that Guan Ping's injury has not healed, he and Xu Huang simply discussed in front of Guan Ping's bed, and Ma Liang summarized the situation one by one, and then handed it over to Cao Cao for review.

Guan Ping has been half better recently, but he still pretends to be weak:

"Our army has been defeated, and there is no food, grass, ordnance, morale, and warships, so we can't rush to rescue Gangneung.

It is better to take advantage of this time to plant grain in Xiangyang Tuntian, heal the wounded, and train the navy.

When Sun Liu's attack on Jiangling is in full swing, we will wait for the opportunity to recapture Shiyang and threaten Xiakou, Sun Liu will divide his troops to rescue, so as to help General Cao share some of the thief forces. ”

Xu Huang even shook his head:

"Frank is insightful, yes, that's how it should be.

Zhonglu, Linfu, Yicheng and other places are barbarian and chaotic, and there are rebels who have their hearts towards Liu Bei, and they will definitely die and die. ”

Le Jin also nodded and said: "Yes, the group of thieves before was really rampant, I led the army with Gongming to fight, and I will definitely kill them without leaving a single piece of armor." ”

Guan Ping shook his head and said:

"No, the two generals are both pillars of Jingzhou, how can they move lightly?

If the general personally recruits, one will increase the popularity of the thief, the second will give Cai Zhijun a chance, the third will inevitably encounter the plague god, and the fourth will be afraid that General Cao will dislike the general and refuse to work hard, so please think twice. ”

Guan Ping's word "Jingzhou Pillar Stone" made Xu Huang and Le Jin feel extremely comfortable.

To be honest, it's really a bit difficult for the two of them to obey Cao Ren, but there is no way, whoever makes Cao Ren Cao Cao's relatives, they still have to listen to his command.

Now more than 40,000 elite soldiers under Cai Mao are entrenched in the waterways of Caizhou, but the palm-sized place in Caizhou does not look like it can line up 40,000 people, and it is not clear that the surrounding rebels were originally made by Cai Mao.

Xu Huang and Le Jin are not afraid of Cai Mao on the flat ground, but if they go to the complex mountain area and encounter Cai Mao's surprise attack, it will be really dead and no one will collect the body.

So......

"Ji Chang." Guan Ping turned to Ma Liang on the side and said bitterly, "Zhao Yan was in a dilemma with me before, but now he has left." The two generals didn't bother us. Now is the time to unite to defeat the traitors, and we must work together to achieve great things. ”

Ma Liang showed a hint of hesitation on his face and sighed:

"Good. I'm not for the sake of glory and wealth, but for the sake of being a comrade with Tanzhi - just fighting with that thief, and I need to act cheaply, I don't know what the two generals think? ”

Xu Huang said solemnly:

"Of course, no one can hinder the matter of begging for thieves, how is Ji Chang prepared?"

Ma Liang Road:

"The thieves are either bewitched by Cai Mao, or they are not on good terms with the Northern Army. I ask you to use more gold beads and money to marry the Yi chieftain, and ask where the rebel is, General Yun led his elite troops to conquer, beheaded the thief first, and the rest were punished as the slaves of the Yi chief, and the Yi chief must fight hard, and the traitor did not want to be the slave of the Yi chieftain so he could only go out of the mountain and surrender.

More than a year, less than a few months, the land of Xiangyang and Fancheng is flat, and our army can have no worries! ”

Xu Huang and Le Jin were overjoyed.

The area around Xiangyang is mountainous, the barbarians have always refused to obey the king, and the natives of Jingzhou have a very poor relationship with the northerners, and their power is not wide, and it is difficult to collect grain money and levy labor. After Cai Mao arrived, the barbarians in Xiangyang only recognized Cai Mao and ignored Cao Jun completely, but Cai Mao also hung Cao Jun's brand, so that Lejin Xu Huang could not attack him.

Although Ma Liang is greedy, he is very righteous, and with him joining Yunshan, he can have a good fight with Cai Mao. It's a big deal to let the Ma family occupy more benefits, as long as it can disgust Cai Mao, Xu Huang and Le Jin both raised their hands in approval.

"Then it's all up to Ji Chang."

Le Jin said, and took out the copper seal thrown by Ma Liang from his arms, but Ma Liang still waved his hand and refused to take the seal.

"If you don't want to hear about it, please take back this seal."

"Without a seal, how can Ji Chang lead the troops?"

Ma Liang was silent for a long time:

"Yin Shiliang threw it away by himself, and if he took it back, he was afraid of being laughed at.

If the general is promoted, I am willing to serve as a subordinate to the general and help the general take care of all affairs in Jingzhou? ”

Le Jin couldn't close his mouth in surprise - Ma Liang himself led the army to the emperor far away, and if he really wanted to eat empty salaries and sell military funds, Lejin couldn't do anything with him, and when the time came, he could even report to the court alone. Ke Lejin's subordinates, all the credit must be given to Lejin, and under Lejin's nose, it is inconvenient to do many things that violate the law.

Le Jin hurriedly grabbed Ma Liang's palm and said in surprise:

"If Ji Chang can afford to be a martial artist with Lejin, Jin will hand over all the military and political affairs here to Ji Chang as the acting officer."

Guan Ping also got up from the couch and said in a loud voice:

"Ji Chang is willing to fight for the country, and he doesn't want to linger on the sickbed. Please ask the general for help these days, I want to use troops to recapture Jiangxia! ”

"Tanzhi's injury?"

"A few minor injuries are not a big deal. I received the great favor of the prime minister, and I lived in the position of Jiangxia Taishou, if I don't recapture this place, how can I have the face to receive the great favor of the general? I also asked the general to help the soldiers and horses, and this time it will definitely succeed. ”

Yunshan reported that the entire army was wiped out, and only less than ten people escaped, and Xu Huang had checked, these people were all scarred, obviously they had experienced bloody fighting, which showed the tragic situation of the day.

Cao Cao promoted Yunshan to Jiangxia Taishou, but did not grant soldiers and horses, Xu Huang and Le Jin discussed and decided to transfer all the 2,000 soldiers and horses he recruited from Jingzhou to Yunshan - anyway, these people don't listen to the command very much, if they can play some role under Yunshan, it would be great.

Of course, Yunshan is now short of ships, ordnance and all supplies, and in order to support him in the battle, Xu Huang and Le Jin can only cut down on food and clothing and try to make up for him.

At this time, Le Jin and Xu Huang finally felt how stretched Cao Jun, who was once accustomed to crowd tactics, was now overstretched.

After transferring another 2,000 people to Yunshan, the standing army of the two had dropped to less than 20,000, and Ma Liang had to mobilize most of the troops under Lejin to destroy the rebels and deal with Cai Mao, and the two could not spare the manpower to support Cao Ren again.

"Sun Liu will definitely block it on the river, let Ji Chang open up the land first, and Tanzhi open up the water, this is also the right way to the art of war, and the prime minister will not blame us and others.

Zixiao is brave and good at fighting, and he uses his troops well, plus Boning's soldiers and horses in Dangyang, it is not difficult to hold Jiangling. ”

Well, it shouldn't be that hard......

·

Cao Ren didn't know what Le Jin and Xu Huang were doing, and in this era of underdeveloped communications, he could only keep issuing warrants, and only God knows how many could be delivered to Le Jin and Xu Huang. Cao's army was defeated too quickly, and Jiangling's supplies were still abundant and could support it for more than a year, but the problem Cao Ren had to face now could not be solved by food-

Cao's morale had collapsed, and the Jingzhou army in the city looked down on the defeated Northern Army, and the Northern Army thought that Cao Cao had abandoned them.

There are robberies in the city every day, and Cao Ren doesn't dare to stop them - speaking of which, robbery is the only way to improve the morale of the army in these years, Cao Jun has not robbed for a long time, and he has been holding back his evil spirit, if he still forcibly stops it, he is afraid that these soldiers will come to rebel.

"Giant eagle, the country's affairs are difficult, and it all depends on you."

Before, Chang Diao led the guards around Cao Ren to take the lead bravely, although they stumbled along the way, they did not suffer any damage, and five hundred people returned to Jiangling safely, and now they are the pillar stones of Cao Ren's side.

Chang Diao didn't expect that when he escaped, Cao Jun's military appearance was quite neat, how could he go back to Jiangling and be beaten like this, Xu Chu died, Xun You was missing, and what Chang Diao didn't expect was that when he first returned to Jiangling, he was stunned to find that Cao Hong, who stayed in Jiangling, was seriously injured again.

Cao Hong was beaten by Huang Zhong before and couldn't get off the house, and after resting for a while, he finally improved slightly, but as soon as Cao Jun's army left, his house was broken by a group of hardcover warriors, who carried Cao Hong and ordered him to hand over Liu Bei's two daughters, and beat Cao Hong violently without talking about martial arts - the most speechless thing is that the group of men wanted to kill Cao Hong treacherously, but the leader actually unabashedly said that Cao Hong was greedy and rude, and it was beneficial to keep him, so everyone didn't kill Cao Hong because of this.

Cao Hong experienced this physical and mental double blow, feeling that his body was hollowed out, and he borrowed wine every day to drown his sorrows without saying a word.

Knowing this, Chang Diao might as well directly close the gate of Jiangling, cut off Cao Cao's return road and surrender to Jiangdong, so that the glory and wealth are really countless.

Now that Cao Ren is back, he naturally doesn't have the courage to rebel again, so he can only think about how to escape from Jiangling.

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu's army has begun to pour towards Jiangling, and the soldiers under their command have begun to cut down trees on the edge of Jiangling City to make siege equipment.

What should I do, I don't want to die here.

Hey, by the way, Mr. Yuanzhi doesn't seem to be leaving.

The trick last time was so effective, and I asked him this time.
