Chapter 325 Planning
"Brother, Liu Qi is really so rampant that he dares to threaten the eldest brother."
In Shangyong City, Cao Chun's face was full of anger, and the messenger sent by Liu Qi just now left.
Cao Ren's face beside him was also extremely gloomy. Didn't Liu Qi pay attention to the two brothers in his eyes? Although Cao Chun's behavior was indeed deliberately indulgent, Liu Qi was too rampant.
"Changwen, you see..." He was angry, but Cao Ren did not lose his mind.
"Well, Liu Qi is sure that the master will not turn against Jingzhou, and also sure that Zixiao will not lose his mind and cut off Jingzhou's grain road."
Sitting opposite Cao Ren is a middle-aged man in his thirties. It was Chen Qun, whom Cao Cao sent to Shangyong to assist Cao Ren. Seeing Cao Ren's inquiry, Chen Qun sighed.
At this time, the situation in the world is unfavorable to Cao Cao from any aspect. At this time, whether Cao Ren is willing or not, he has to be patient.
"Is it possible to let Liu Qi be so arrogant and wantonly to transport grain and grass from mediocrity?" Cao Chun looked at Chen Qun unwillingly.
Even Cao Ren looked unwilling. Chen Qun shook his head and said, "The day before yesterday, Jiangdong Sun Ce has led 50,000 troops to attack Jiujiang. Zixiao should know that if he starts a war with Jingzhou at this time, how long can he last with us soldiers and horses? Most importantly, if the master is distracted by mediocre things, then we will be blamed for it.
Cao Ren's face changed, Sun Ce attacked Jiujiang, and Jiujiang didn't know whether he could defend it. Although Cao Cao has occupied Jiujiang for a long time, Russia is not long. Jiujiang was originally under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou. Sun Ce fought against Jiujiang as Yangzhou herdsman. No one can make mistakes. If Jiujiang is really lost, the Jiangdong army can attack Bingzhou and other places with Jiujiang as the foundation, and Cao Cao's situation will be even worse. It is.
"Changwen, is there really nothing you can do? The land of Hanzhong is really too important. The lord has failed to attack Hanzhong several times over the years. Does Liu Qi really want to attack Hanzhong under the eyes of others?"
Cao Ren took a deep breath and suppressed his unwillingness. At this time, fighting with Jingzhou was undoubtedly digging his own grave.
"Zi Xiao, don't worry, it is not easy for Liu Qi to attack Hanzhong. Although it is much more likely to collect Hanzhong, there are hundreds of prisons in the south of Hanzhong and Yangping Pass in the north, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is really a dream that Liu Qi wants to attack Hanzhong in a short time. Although Xiaoxiao can't break his face with Jingzhou, But it can be secretly obstructed." Chen Qun pondered for a moment.
"Oh, how to secretly obstruct it? Jingzhou's attack on Hanzhong's defense against mediocre is extremely strict. If the mediocre soldiers and horses move a little, Jingzhou will definitely know." Cao Ren frowned and his eyes were full of doubts.
"Ha ha, isn't Jingzhou going to attack Hanzhong in two ways? If Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, does not want Jingzhou soldiers and horses to appear in Yizhou, what will happen to Jingzhou?" Chen Qun smiled and said.
"Didn't Liu Zhang lend the way to Jingzhou? How to stop it?" Cao Chun was puzzled.
"Ha ha, it's not difficult for Liu Zhang to deal with. He just wants to take back Hanzhong with the help of Jingzhou. If the master can send someone to Yizhou secretly, move it with reason, and then give Liu Zhang a certain benefit, Liu Zhang will definitely turn around and obstruct the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou in every way." Chen Qun smiled like a flower, and his eyes were full of self-confidence.
"Okay, I'll send someone to Xudu." Cao Ren immediately stood up.
"Ha ha, the lord is no longer allowed to do it at this time. You just need to say on the spy that I have secretly gone to Yizhou to discuss this matter with Liu Zhang, and please don't blame the lord."
Chen Qun smiled. If he really didn't dare to leave Shangyong without permission and persuade Liu Zhang as a lobbyist for Cao Cao, but at this time, Cao Ren and Cao Chun again, Cao Cao would not be suspicious and suspicious.
"Okay, I'm going to write a spy. Changwen, don't worry, you can do everything cheaply when you go to Yizhou, except for the two of us."
Cao Ren said as soon as he moved his heart and said, although Cao Cao has great trust in the generals under his command, he also has a lot of precautions. If Chen Qun makes the decision for Cao Cao privately, even if he can get some credit, I'm afraid it will make Cao Cao not happy, but in addition, his brothers are different. Although Cao Cao has a guard against his generals. Fan, but he has great trust in the people of the Cao family.
"Ha ha, with the general's words, I'm relieved. I'm leaving for Yizhou and definitely persuade Liu Zhang to prevent Jingzhou soldiers from entering Hanzhong. However, in this mediocre place, I still hope that the two generals can be patient for the time being. Although the relationship between the master and Jingzhou is very bad, it is not the time to tear his face. I don't think Jingzhou will take the initiative to tear his face with the master at this time.
Chen Qun confessed to Cao Ren and turned around and left.
"Big brother..." Cao Chun stood up and looked at Cao Ren.
"You rush back to Fancheng immediately. According to what Changwen said, don't move for the time being and wait for the opportunity." Cao Ren shook his head. He knew what Cao Chun was going to say. Although Cao Cao trusted the Cao family, he was not unprepared at all. However, Cao Ren can't take care of so much at this time.
.......................................................................................
In Hanzhong, when he learned that Zhang Lu directly turned Jingzhou's messenger away, Yan Hu immediately put down his hand and rushed back to Nanzheng.
"Lord, the reason why Jingzhou sent an envoy to Hanzhong is to anger the lord, so that Jingzhou can become famous. It's really inappropriate for the lord to do so." Yanpu in the Taishou Mansion said helplessly.
"Well, according to what you said, does the master still want to welcome the messenger of Jingzhou with great fanfare? Liu Qi's thoughts are well known all over the world. If he doesn't do so, won't the people in the world be afraid of Liu Qi because of the lord?"
As soon as Yanpu finished speaking, Yang Song, who was beside him, stood up and said with an angry face.
"What do you know? Invite Jingzhou's envoys into Hanzhong and find an excuse to drive us out. Just put the blame on Jingzhou. Even if Jingzhou sends troops to attack Hanzhong again, it is just shame and angry in the eyes of the people in the world. Now everyone in the world knows that it is the pioneers to drive Jingzhou's messengers, which is really borrowed by Jingzhou. Mouth."
He turned his head and looked at Yang Song, and the disgust in Yanpu's eyes flashed away. Yang Song's clever words made him extremely unhappy. If it hadn't been for Zhang Lu's protection, he would have kicked this person out of Hanzhong.
Yang Song sneered and said rudely: "Since you know that Jingzhou will attack Hanzhong no matter what, what's the difference between Jingzhou's excuse? Is it possible that since you know that Jingzhou is going to be unfavorable to the lord, the lord has to swallow his anger and talk and laugh with Jingzhou's messengers?"
"Enough!"
Yan Pu heard a low voice when he had said it earlier. He could only stare at Yang Song fiercely and stopped talking.
Zhang Lu at the top also stared at Yang Song at this time, motioned Yang Song to shut up, and then looked at Yan Pu: "It's true that I'm a little unconsidered at this time, but now that this matter is a fore, it's time to consider how to resist the Jingzhou army. I don't know what good strategy General Yan can do?"
I have great trust in Yanpu and Zhang Lu. Although I think Yang Song is very easy to use, I still have to rely on Yanpu in terms of strategic skills.
Seeing Zhang Lu like this, Yanpu's anger subsided: "Lord, now the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou have arrived in Wancheng. Although the soldiers are divided into two roads, the population of Hanzhong is more than 100,000 households. The land is fertile and rich in products. The most important thing is that the land in Hanzhong is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The lord only needs to send the general to guard Yangping Pass and Hundreds of prisons can block Jingzhou soldiers and horses from Hanzhong, and Jingzhou soldiers and horses will naturally retreat after a long time.
"However, Jingzhou is only one Shangyong from Hanzhong. The lord still needs to send people to go to Shangyong to join forces with Cao Ren, the general of Shangyong, to jointly resist the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou. Then Cao Ren will naturally attack Liu Qi when he sees Liu Qi's defeat."
Yan Pu thought for a moment and said that although Cao Cao would not turn against Jingzhou at this time, if Jingzhou failed to attack Hanzhong and morale was low, Cao Ren would certainly not miss this opportunity to defeat Liu Qi's soldiers and horses. If he was lucky enough to kill Liu Qi, it could not only relieve Cao Cao's pressure, but also deter his hostility to Cao Cao. The princes. If Liu Qi can't be killed, Jingzhou can also fall into a short period of chaos.
Yang Song, who was beside him, looked at Zhang Lu and hurried forward and said, "Yan Gong and Cao's words are indeed the best way at present."
Although Yang Song fought with Yanpu all day long, he could not stand up against him at this time. Although Zhang Lu spoiled him, Zhang Lu's heart was as bright as a mirror. If he couldn't find an excuse to try to target Yanpu, he could only make Zhang Lu disgusted.
Zhang Lu nodded and looked at Yanpu and said, "In this case, then order Zhang Ying to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Yangping Pass. From today, Yangping Pass will be closed and prohibit anyone from coming and going until the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou retreat. He ordered Yang Ang to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the Baibao Pass, and ordered Zhang Wei to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to wait and be ready to support at any time.
"No." Yanpu should bow down.
"You two will stay with me in Nanzheng." Zhang Lu looked at Yanpu and Yang Songda again.
"Master, it's nothing to have a sword pavilion outside the Bai prison pass, but there are still people in Hanzhong outside Yangping Pass. If the lord takes the opportunity to move them into Yangping Pass, it will definitely be difficult for Liu Qi to walk in Hanzhong." Yanpu suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Zhang Lu's heart was moved. Although he thought this method was feasible, it was really troublesome to move the people outside Yangping Pass into Yangping Pass.
"Lord, this method is not appropriate. It is extremely difficult to walk in other places. It is impossible to estimate the manpower and material resources to move the people outside the customs. Moreover, the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou have rushed to Wancheng, and it is too late." Yang Song hurried forward in his heart. If Yanpu was really allowed to do this, his prestige in Hanzhong would definitely increase again. Even if he and his brother joined hands, he would not be Yanpu's opponent.
"This matter can be discussed later." Zhang Lu shook his head. It was a little late to move the people into Yangping Pass.
"No." Yanpu sighed in his heart and bowed.
