Chapter 407 Dejingzhou Exploration
In three days, Cao Cao's army occupied all the cities in the northern part of Jingzhou, and the process was to win without fighting, without losing a single soldier. The surprisingly smoothness in the early stage of the war made Cao Cao extremely happy: in advance, Cao Cao's senior management thought of the best result, but the fact was still beyond their expectation. This explains: The previous high-level power struggle for power and profit in Jingzhou and the later Fan family's high-pressure policy made Jingzhou local tyrants extremely disgusted, so that they refused to implement the orders of the Fan family and Liu Brown and tried their best to resist the invasion of the Cao army. As long as the Cao army came to the city, they would raise their hands and surrender...
Like Runan City, Cao Cao did not infringe on the interests of the local people and dignitaries. He only asked them to voluntarily offer geisha or their female relatives to enter the relationship between Cao Jun and the local area through marriage.
For the local army, Cao Cao also dealt with it with a lot of tolerance: those who asked to be unarmored and returned to the field were entangled; those who continued to serve, they were immediately included in the formation of the Cao army and followed the action of the Cao army. Of course, in order to maintain the stability of the city and prevent the occurrence of civil theft and looting, Cao's army also left a battalion to guard the city.
On this day, Jia Xu came to the post station under the protection of Hu Wei. At this time, the post station was overcrowded, and there were beautiful women worshipped by powerful people everywhere. When the beautiful woman stood in line, Jia Xu began to look carefully.
Some of these beautiful women are followed by maids, which shows that these beauties are direct relatives of the powerful: either daughters or nieces. Jia Xu knew that those who could give their immediate family members to Cao Jun showed that these dignitaries wanted to get along with Cao Cao. If you vote for a peach and repay it with Li, Cao Cao will naturally not treat them badly.
Jia Xu came here specially to select beautiful women for Cao Cao and Xu Zhu. Of course, he also needed them himself. Nearly a hundred beautiful women, just like a hundred different delicate flowers, some are calm, some are crying; some are lively and cheerful, and some frown...
In Miss Qianjin's team, Jia Xu selected a dignified and virtuous beauty for Xu Zhu, the leader of the Huwei Camp; and then he selected several lively and cheerful beauties for Cao Cao and himself in the geisha team. Finally, Jia Xu ordered a battalion of soldiers to escort these beauties back to Luoyang City and stationed in Tongquetai. After Cao Jun completely occupied Jingzhou, he talked about the reward of meritorious deeds and betrothed the beautiful woman to a single and meritorious general.
For the generals with outstanding achievements, Cao Cao has always been stingy and extremely generous. Of course, Cao Cao's execution of military discipline is also extremely strict: rewards and penalties are clear, and it is forbidden! In front of military aircraft, everyone is equal.
When Jia Xu led the three carefully selected beautiful women to Cao Cao's military camp, the two well-trained geisha quickly entered the role and carefully served Cao Cao and Jia Xu, while the lady sat leisurely in the VIP seat. Of course, the two maids behind her have been in a state of fear. Cao Cao took a look at the roster and knew the name of the young lady: her name is Zhang Yu, from the Zhang clan in Runan City. He is twenty-eight years old and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
When Xu Zhu entered the camp, Cao Cao arranged Zhang Yu to Xu Zhu in public. At present, the nine-foot man turned red and embarrassed. Zhang Yu herself heard that Cao Cao betrothed himself to Cao Cao's close bodyguard, and the man was masculine and brave, which was exactly the type she liked. Therefore, Zhang Yu blushed with shame and lowered her head.
When Cao Cao saw such a scene, he hit the iron while it was hot and said, "Miss Zhang, although Xu Zhu is not good at words, he is the first well-deserved fierce general under my command... Miss Zhang, when our army wins and returns to the court, I will personally preside over your marriage! Of course, I will also inform your family immediately... Well, Miss Zhang, marching and fighting, the situation is special, you can live with Xu Zhu for the time being..."
When Zhang Yu heard the words, she nod silently, while Xu Zhu's face was black and purple, and she didn't know what to do. Finally, Cao Cao ordered Xu Zhu to understand Zhang Yu and the two maids of his camp, and Xu Zhu was relieved to lead the three beautiful women to leave Cao Cao's Chinese barracks.
Cao Cao and Jia Xu watched the four people walk out of the tent. After they looked at each other, they laughed cheerfully: in the eyes of other men, it is as difficult as Yu Gong moving mountains! In front of the beautiful woman, Xu Zhu is like a docile sheep. On the battlefield, Xu Zhu is a tiger going down the mountain. Such a sharp contrast, why don't Cao Cao and Jia Xu laugh?!
In the afternoon of this day, Cao Cao led 50,000 troops to continue to march towards Xiangyang City, Jingzhou Prefecture. On the way, a secret report was sent to Cao Cao. According to the secret report, Liu Bei did have two super counselors to assist him at this time: one was Pang Tong, known as Feng Zhuo, and the other was Xu Shu, known as Xuanwu.
In the luxurious and spacious Cuiluan car, Cao Cao finished reading the secret newspaper and casually handed it to Jia Xu in front of him. Cao Cao looked into the distance and said leisurely, "In the future, there will be five super counselors in the world. Now, Jiangdong Sun Group has Youlin Zhou Yu, I... Well, now Liu Bei has two super counselors, Feng Chi and Xuanwu. If I don't take the opportunity to completely destroy Liu Bei at this time, there will be endless trouble in the future..."
Jia Xu heard the words and nodded heavily. At this time, he knew that in Cao Cao's heart, the elimination of Liu Bei had been operated as a top priority, far more than the predetermined goal of occupying Jingzhou... However, now they don't have any information about Liu Bei. Since Liu Bei led his army to leave Runan City, it has been as if it has evaporated in the air.
Since yesterday, Jia Xu ordered the scout battalion to change the direction of the search and took half of the scouts to the north of Runan City to explore the traces of Liu Bei's army. This is the reverse thinking of the super counselor: Jia Xu believes that maybe after Liu Bei led his army to leave Runan City, he did not go south, but turned back to the north. The north is the big rear of Cao's army. At this time, Cao Cao's big rear is insufficient. The more dangerous the place is, the safer it is...
Jia Xu put the secret newspaper on the table, and then looked at Cao Cao and said, "King of Wei, since I heard the reputation of the five counselors, I have planned how to win more of them for the king of Wei. After a detailed exploration, my subordinates have grasped the whereabouts of the families of Fengzhu Pang Tong and Xuanwu Xu Shu, and the Wolong is still so mysterious. My subordinates have inquired, but there is still no whereabouts... Yesterday, there was a detailed return: Fengzhu Pang Tong's family has left their original residence, and now the whereabouts are unknown; and Xuanwu Xu Shu's family He is still in Cangzhou. In order to facilitate dealing with Xu Shu in the future, his subordinates have ordered Cangzhou officials to secretly monitor Xu Shu's family and not let him leave Cangzhou City for half a step!"
"Well, that's so good!" Cao Cao's eyes flashed and nodded approvingly to Jia Xu, "A super counselor like Xu Shu, even if he is unwilling to work for me, I will control him so that he can't work for other princes... Such a talent is as powerful as a legion!"
Then, the two of them talked about other matters.
A day later, 200 miles away from Jingzhou City, Cao Cao received a surrender form from Liu Tan, the herdsman of Jingzhou. When Cao Cao reported the news to the soldiers of the whole army, 50,000 soldiers roared with magnificent mountains and rivers. Who is not happy to win without fighting?
When Cao Cao led 50,000 troops to the north gate of Jingzhou City, he looked at the white chess erected on the gate building and the open gate. The two sides of the gate were full of civilian generals and local gentry, as well as the Jingzhou high-rise standing in front of the moat suspension bridge. He was full of joy.
Under the protection of Xu Zhu and other tiger guards, Cao Cao walked to the suspension bridge with yellow and purple electric paws. Liu Brown. Fan Shi, Zhang Mao and others knelt down to the majestic Cao Cao, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Palm held the state pastoral seal and lowered the table in both hands.
Cao Cao, dressed in purple gold armor and purple gold helmet, was like a general, while Liu Palm and others looked gloomy, like a defeated rooster.
Cao Cao majestically made Liu Yang and others stand up. When Cao Cao deliberately searched for Fan in the crowd, a half-old beautiful woman threw a wink at him. At that moment, Cao Cao's body immediately reacted and there was a current all over his body.
When Liu Tan and others led the way, Cao Cao and his forward army followed him into the city. After entering the city, Cao's army quickly controlled the four gates and controlled the unarmed 50,000 Jingzhou soldiers in the barracks.
Cao Cao and his confidant civil servants discussed specific matters with Liu Palm and others. His army advanced methodically in the city and gradually occupied the main road of the city.
Of course, Cao Cao asked Liu Brown about the whereabouts of his enemy Zhang Wei. Liu Brown could only answer truthfully: After Zhang Wei got the news that Cao Cao was going to arrest him, he quickly left the state city... Cao Cao then asked who reported the news to Zhang Kui and let him escape.
In the face of Cao Cao's hatred, Liu Brown did not dare to hide anything. He replied to Cao Cao with a chill, "It's back to the king of Wei that it was the state official Kuai Yue who passed the secret of the news to Zhang Kai..."
"Kou Yue?!" Cao Cao's eyes flashed coldly and said in a muffled voice, "Liu Mu, where is Ke Yue at this time?"
"King of Wei, Kai Yue has absconded in fear of crime..." Liu Tan responded with a sad face.
When Cao Cao heard the words, he shook his head helplessly. So far, Cao Cao has won, but this victory is only formal, and in terms of content, Cao Cao has achieved nothing. The angry Cao Cao is full of evil thoughts at this time. His fiery eyes went back and forth on Fan's disaster relief.
After some discussion, Liu Brown and Fan had to accept Cao Cao's suggestion: Cao ordered all the Liu royal family to migrate back to Luoyang City. Without Cao Cao's order, the Liu royal family was not allowed to leave the capital at will. After all, Liu Brown's ancestral house is still in Luoyang City.
In front of everyone, Cao Cao specially invited Cui Dan, the state document, to the scene. Cui Dan is nearly 40 years old. Although he is full of talent, he has been suppressed and squeezed out by his colleagues and superiors. Now, Cao Cao promoted him to the top minister of the Ministry of Public Affairs in public. From a state official to Jiuqing, Cui Dan can really go to heaven in one step. At that moment, Cui Dan had the will to dig his heart to Cao Cao.
A woman is the one who pleases herself, and a scholar is a confidant who dies. From ancient times, this is the way.
After everyone said goodbye one after another, Cao Cao deliberately left Fan behind. The two of them are both masters of Fengyue. They just exchanged eyes and entered the state in an instant. Therefore, the dry fire was caught in the fire, and the two did not return to the inner hall. They fought hand-to-hand in the state government hall for hundreds of rounds.
In the first confrontation, the two were evenly matched: Cao Cao felt that Fan was really a rare beauty. He was not only good at skill, but also good at accurately grasping the state of the other party through breathing and movements. And Fan felt that Cao Cao was indeed a general who could fight well. Although he was nearly 50 years old, he was not old and energetic...
