Xiangyang City, Prefecture Mufu.
Cao Cao was sitting in his seat with a spring breeze on his face. Since leading the army to the south, the momentum has been overwhelming and it has been very smooth.
He used to think that Jingzhou had 100,000 soldiers in armor and tens of dollars in warriors. In addition, there were many scribes taking refuge here, so it might take some effort. But he didn't expect that Liu Jingsheng's son, like a dog and pig, surrendered without a fight.
Although he was a little unhappy that he escaped from Liu Bei, where could Liu Bei escape to? Currently stationing troops in Jiangxia, including Liu Qi's troops, there are only 20,000 troops. How can they be the opponent of his more than 300,000 troops?
"And Jiangdong Sun Quan, compared with him, also has a small number of soldiers. He can destroy him in one battle. It's a pity that once Sun Bofu died, there was really no opponent in the south, and the world was immediately peaceful.
Think about it, it has been twenty-four years since he raised his own army during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Now he has a cloud of advisers and a rain of generals, dominating the world. Who can defeat him?
"Cai Hao, Zhang Yun, how is the naval training going?" Cao Cao looked at the generals and asked.
Cao Cao did not like the surrendered generals Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and Cao Cao at all, but the good generals under his command, Zhang Liao, Zhang Jia, Li Dian, Yue Jin, Yu Jin, Xu Huang and others, although they were famous generals in the world, they did not know the water. There is no other way to fight, but to use the two of them.
"Reporting to my lord, although it is not as good as the Jiangdong navy, it can still fight!"
"Huh? It has been so long, and the soldiers are all selected from the Jingzhou Navy. Why are they not as good as the Jiangdong Navy now? Could it be that you two deliberately responded passively and missed the opportunity to fight!"
When Cao Cao became angry, the atmosphere in the entire hall became very tense. Cai Hao and Zhang Yun trembled all over and quickly fell to their knees.
"My lord, forgive me, we have been practicing day and night, but the strength of the Jiangdong Navy has always been higher than that of the Jingzhou Navy!"
"My lord, the Jiangdong navy has had strong combat power since the time of Sun Wentai, while Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou has long valued civil service over military power. Therefore, the combat power of the two armies is very different. This is not Cai Mao. Zhang Yun responded passively on purpose and missed the opportunity to fight. "Xun You stepped out to relieve Cai Hao and Zhang Yun.
"Since Gongda has interceded for you two, I won't pursue it any further, but you must seize the time to practice. In a month's time, the troops will be sent to Xiakou, seize Jiangdong in one fell swoop, wipe out Sun Quan, and at the same time eliminate Liu Bei, who is a thorn in his heart. "
"No!" Cai Hao and Zhang Yun quickly retreated, both of them breaking into a cold sweat.
"Lord, our army is marching south to Jingzhou, and Liu Cong is at a loss. I think people in Jiangdong must be panicking at this time, because Jiangdong's strength is not much stronger than Jingzhou. Many important officials dare not fight with our army, let alone fight with our army. My lord, Why not write a letter to show the prestige of our army, and at the same time disrupt their military morale and weaken their momentum. If it can defeat others without fighting, that would be the best strategy!" Cheng Yu went out and said to Cao Cao .
"What Zhong De said makes sense, I will write a letter and wait for you with pen and ink!"
Soon, the servant brought pen and ink and unfolded a piece of brocade silk.
Cao Cao took out his pen, thought for a moment, and then started writing "shushuashushuashu", finishing it in one go. Then he looked at it again and nodded with satisfaction, "Zhongde, please read it and let everyone listen. Is it appropriate?" ?¡±
"No!"
Cheng Yu stepped forward, took the brocade silk, and read loudly:
"The recent ones have been ordered to attack the criminals. Jing Hui points south, Liu Cong restrains his hands, and now he has 800,000 naval troops under his control. Then he will join the general to hunt in Wu!"
After Cheng Yu finished reading, the entire hall was silent. After a while, everyone couldn't help but admire it.
"Okay! My lord's literary talent is unparalleled in the world!"
"As soon as this letter comes out, all the ministers in Jiangdong will have no peace!"
"I think Sun Quan won't be able to sleep!"
"If he wants to sleep, Sun Quan has no choice but to surrender like Liu Cong!"
Indeed, Cao Cao¡¯s letter was written in a very domineering manner!
"Man Boning, please send someone to send this letter to Jiangdong quickly!"
"No!" Man Chong stepped forward and took the letter from Cheng Yu.
"After all the generals go down, they should intensify their training. If Jiangdong does not surrender, we will send troops immediately to destroy them!"
"No!"
After everyone left, Xun You stayed.
"What else can Gongda do?"
"My lord, the ten tiger and leopard cavalry sent out some time ago and the soldiers escorting Liu Cong have been found!"
"Why didn't they come back in time?" Cao Cao was a little angry.
"They were all killed. The ghost soldiers only found their bodies in the mountains about thirty miles outside Yicheng."? was the fine production camp founded by Guo Jia. After Guo Jia's death, Xun You took charge of it.
"What about Liu Cong?"
"There is no Liu Cong in the body, nor is there Liu Cong's mother Cai."
"You mean someone rescued Liu Cong?"
"Yes, otherwise it would be impossible to find their bodies!"
"Who is so bold and dares to go against us?"
"My subordinates asked the ghost soldiers to check carefully. There are no clues, which means that there are not many soldiers who rescued them. They should be some of Liu Biao's former confidants."
"Where does Gongda think they will flee to?"
"There is a feud between Jiangdong and Jingzhou, so it is impossible to go, and it is impossible to go to Liu Bei in Jiangxia, because the eldest son Liu Qi is there, and other places are far away, so my subordinates thought that they should go to Shangyong!"
"Shangyong?"
"Yes, that's the only place where you can escape the eyes of the ghost soldiers. My lord should let Shangyong's Shen Danshenyi capture and kill Liu Cong!"
Cao Cao thought for a while and shook his head, "Shen Dan and Shen Yi are from a wealthy family in Shangyong. Last time they asked me for the post of Shangyong Prefect, but I haven't agreed yet. If they are allowed to do this, wouldn't it be a big deal? Are you asking me for conditions again? Liu Cong is nothing to be afraid of. There is no difference between him alive and dead. As long as we defeat Jiangdong, the world will be unified. By then, where can he go?"
"Lord"
"Don't worry, Gongda. The main focus of the ghost soldiers is on Jiangdong. If you spread the news, say that Liu Cong died of illness in Xiangyang, and hold another funeral for him."
"No!"
Jiangxia, the prefect¡¯s mansion.
Liu Bei was sitting in front of the map, secretly dazed, when Jian Yong came in in a hurry.
"My lord, the news just came that Liu Cong died of illness and Cao Cao is going to be buried in Xiangyang with the rites of a state pastor. What should we do? Should we send someone to attend?"
"Liu Cong died of illness?" Liu Bei frowned, "Xianhe, is it true?"
¡°That¡¯s what the people in Xiangyang are saying!¡±
"Come here, please quickly invite Kong Ming to come to the Prefect's Mansion to discuss matters!"
"No!"
Soon, Zhuge Liang came to the prefect¡¯s mansion.
"My lord called me here, but it's about the second son Liu Cong?" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan gently and asked with a smile.
"Kong Ming already knows?"
¡°I just found out!¡±
"Then Kong Ming thinks that this matter"
"Cao Cao wanted to kill the second young master Liu Cong to avoid future troubles. Unfortunately, the second young master should not have been killed, but he escaped, so Cao Cao came up with this strategy." (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
