Chapter 517: Kan Ze dedicates a book
That night, Shouchun spread the news that this time Liu Qi turned the danger into a disaster, it was the light and the secret help, the heavens descended justice, and the sandstorm was rolled up by the divine dragon, just like the battle of Kunyang that year, the meteorite broke the reckless army.
Although the Wu soldiers suffered a crushing defeat, such a miracle greatly increased the morale of the whole army, although Lu Fan and other generals knew the truth, but when they saw Liu Qi in front of the battle, they were all impressed by him, secretly accumulating strength, and preparing to regroup and shame.
Liu Qi was able to break more than 300,000 Cao's army in Nanyang, and now the Wei army is only 100,000, can't they win Jiangdong people?
After returning to the city, Ma Liang sent a letter from Pang Tong, who had successfully taken over Lujiang, and was imprisoning all the Wei troops in the city, not allowing the news to leak out, and asking about the next plan.
Liu Qi said: "After losing the battle today, Cao Thief must have thought that the Wu army was demoralized and resented me, so he could just ask Kan Ze to offer a letter of surrender. I can counter it in this way: General Zhang received a letter from the thief Cao, and he didn't have to come to Huainan to help in the war, but after taking the Wei army directly from the stone road, he attacked Pengcheng, cut off the thief's back road, and broke Cao in a battle. ”
"My lord!" Ma Liang thought so, and asked: "What is the deployment of the unknown naval army camp?" ”
Liu Qi said with a smile: "When I came, I made a plan with Bo Yan, and Kan Ze returned from Cao Ying, so I can act according to the plan!" ”
In the dead of night, Kan Ze quietly came to the mansion, met Liu Qi secretly, and discussed the matter of offering a letter of surrender to Cao Cao, until the sky was about to dawn, and then quietly left.
……
Although the battle of Bagong Mountain was a great victory, Cao Cao had a head attack after returning to the camp and was sick in bed.
I planned to fight a quick battle and return to the Central Plains as soon as possible, but people are not as good as heaven, the surprise attack on Liu Qi failed, the plan fell through, and the two armies will fall into a confrontation again.
The news of the divine dragon descending from the sky swept Huainan like the wind, and it happened that Cao Chunzheng used this as an excuse to cover up the defeat, and the Wei army also believed it, and there was no longer the joy of victory, who would dare to confront justice?
The generals of the Wei army were suspicious, and went to ask Cao Chun, Cao Chun could only admit the matter head-on, and everyone did not dare to report the news to Cao Cao, if Cao Cao was compared to Wang Mang, I am afraid that he would be angry on the spot.
In desperation, it was only strictly forbidden to discuss in the army, but in this way, the Wei army became more and more suspicious, and people were panicked for a while.
In order to make up for the guilt in his heart, Cao Chun took the initiative to ask for an order to patrol the camp in the past few days, and also to prevent some people in the army from suspecting this matter.
Now the war on both sides of the Huai River is in full swing, there are more warships patrolling back and forth on the water, the people have long since fled, and some people dare to fish in the Huai River, which is only a mile away from the big camp, and ordinary fishermen do not have such great courage.
Cao Chun led his troops forward, surrounded the fisherman and shouted, "Who is so bold as to dare to spy on my camp? ”
The fisherman turned his head, glanced at the murderous cavalry, stroked his beard and laughed: "I have heard for a long time that Prime Minister Cao Cheng is like a god with soldiers, and sure enough, the sentinel is timely, admire, admire!" ”
Cao Chun pressed his sword and shouted: "Who are you, report your name quickly!" ”
The man threw away the fishing net, took off the hat, and saw that his eyes were deep, his appearance was elegant, and he hugged his fists unhurriedly and said: "It is also in Kanze in the east of the lower river!" ”
"Kan Ze?" Cao Chun was taken aback, and immediately stepped forward and said sharply: "You are here alone, could it be that you are here to investigate the military situation?" ”
Kan Ze sneered: "How can you do such a detailed investigation of the military situation? I have something important to see the prime minister, why don't you take me to the camp quickly? ”
Although Cao Chun had doubts, since he took the initiative to ask for arrest, he was in the middle of it, and ordered someone to tie him up and bring him back to the camp for interrogation first.
When the group entered the village, Cao Chun did not go directly to see Cao Cao, but first took Kan Ze to his tent and interrogated: "Since you claim to be a famous person in Jiangdong, do you have a certificate?" ”
Kan Zeyan said: "There is a letter in the mezzanine of the hat, and you will know it when you send it to the prime minister. ”
Cao Chun ordered someone to take off the hat, and sure enough, he found a letter, and when he saw that there was no signature on it, he frowned slightly: "What does the letter say?" ”
Kan Ze saw that Cao Chun not only did not untie the bindings, but was also so aggressive, twisted his body, and snorted coldly: "I don't hesitate to risk death to meet the prime minister, is this the way of hospitality?" The contents of the letter are beyond your knowledge! ”
"You ......" Cao Chun was furious, but he was also afraid of delaying the big event, so he ordered someone to guard Kan Ze and come to see Cao Cao quickly.
The account was reported: "Prime Minister, the defenders saw a fisherman outside the camp with suspicious appearance, and arrested him, and the person who came claimed to be Kan Ze of Jiangdong had a letter to see the prime minister. ”
"Kan Ze?" Cao Cao opened his eyes on the bed, suddenly sat up suddenly, threw away the towel on his head and laughed at the sky.
Cao Chun was surprised: "Why is the prime minister laughing? ”
"Kan Derun and Huang Gai have a good relationship, this must be Liu Qi who scolded Huang Gai, was dissatisfied, and came to surrender." Cao Cao suddenly felt refreshed, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and ordered: "Invite Kan Ze quickly." ”
It turned out that the letter was written by Huang Gai, saying that he was an old minister of Jiangdong III, but he was oppressed by Liu Qi and a foreign son, and he was humiliated.
Although the battle of Bagongshan failed to get rid of Liu Qi, it was a big victory after all, Liu Qi's prestige must have plummeted, and if a veteran like Huang Gai rebelled, he would definitely respond to all calls, and pacifying Huainan was just around the corner.
"There is no such thing as an endless road!" Cao Cao was full of joy, got out of bed and was about to put on his shoes, but the cold touch on the ground made him suddenly calm down, and he turned back to the bed and lay down in the quilt.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and Cao Chun came in with Kan Ze, hugged his fists and said: "Prime Minister, Mr. Kan Ze ......"
When I looked up and saw Cao Cao lying on the bed again, I couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that the prime minister's condition had worsened?
"Oh, sure enough, Mr. is here, and he is far away!" Cao Cao reluctantly got up from the bed, looking pained, and hurriedly got out of bed to greet him, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes: "My subordinates have offended, I hope you forgive me!" ”
Kan Ze was shocked, and hurriedly returned the salute: "The unknown prime minister is sick, and he takes the liberty to disturb him, which is also a mistake in the future!" ”
Cao Cao stepped forward and pulled Kan Ze's arm: "Recently, I have been feeling unwell and hurriedly welcoming guests, I am really out of shape, sir, please take a seat." ”
"I have heard for a long time that Corporal Lixian, when I saw it today, it was really the case, Huang Gongfu entrusted him to be a non-person, and it was not in vain that he took the risk to come."
Kan Ze was flattered, gave a deep salute, and then sat aside, looking very moved.
Cao Cao instructed Cao Chun to prepare a banquet, and when there was no one in the tent, he said: "When Mr. comes, there must be advice, and Cao will listen attentively." ”
Kan Zeyan said: "Liu Qi is young and vigorous, noisy and dominant, and wants to blame the old minister for standing up, it is really too much to deceive people, not only the old general Huang and us are dissatisfied, but the general of the navy Zhou Tai is also full of resentment, and he is waiting and seeing. ”
Cao Cao was pleasantly surprised: "Zhou Tai also has the intention of surrendering? ”
Kan Ze sneered: "Liu Qi takes Lu Xun as the governor of the navy, and the generals are ashamed of him, Zhou Tai has a great relationship with Wu Hou, as long as he moves a little with affection, he will be able to succeed." ”
"Mr. Zhenwu's Chen Pingye!" Cao Cao stroked his palms and laughed: "If Zhou Youping is lonely, why worry about the unfavorable water war?" ”
