Chapter 52 Liu Biao died and lost Jingzhou Cao Liu Sunnan Battle Red Cliff 4
Liu Biaozhong was shocked to hear that there was support for Liu Qi's succession. Everyone looked at it, and the person who spoke was Li Ji.
Cai Mao said angrily when he heard the words, "Your little official dares to disobey the master's will, why don't you retreat!"
Li Hui scolded, "Who can you deceive by conspirating with Cai? Now the long and young, Jingxiang's nine counties are sent to the Cai family. The Lord has a spirit in heaven, and you can't wait to die!"
Cai Mao was even more angry when he heard Li Hui's blunt words about his own obscene things. He shouted and ordered him to behead him. Li Hui cursed to his death. Cai Mao killed Li Hui and saw that no one dared to oppose him, so he appointed Liucong as the master. The Cai clan divided the soldiers of Jingzhou and ordered Deng Yi and Liu Xian to guard Jingzhou to prevent Liu Qi and Liu Bei, but did not inform them of Liu Biao's death.
After the funeral in Jingzhou, they gathered together to discuss how to deal with Cao Bing. Liu cong was young, and everything was decided by Mrs. Cai and Cai Mao. The key is that these two are inside and outside. It's okay for them to grab the class and seize power. Cao Cao can't fight, so they can only brainstorm.
Fu Xun said, "Now, in addition to Cao Cao, there are also the eldest son of Jiangxia, Liu Xuande of Xinye. If these two men plead guilty and don't wait for Cao Cao's troops to arrive, Jing Xiang will be in danger. I have a plan to make Jingxiang's people as safe as Mount Tai and protect the lord's name.
Cai Maoxi said, "I don't know what to do?"
Fu Xun said, "It's better to present the nine counties of Jingxiang to Cao Cao. Cao Cao will treat the lord well."
Although Liu Cong is young, he is also smart and sensible, otherwise he will not be liked by Liu Biao. After listening to Fu Xun's words, he couldn't help interrupting, "What's this? I just inherited my father's foundation, and I haven't sat down yet. What's the reason for you to give to others?
Of course, the young Liu Cong did not know Fu Xun's plan, but Cai Mao, Kai Yue and others understood Fu Xun's thoughts. Even if Liu Biao is alive and Liu Bei's joint efforts may not be able to stop Cao Cao's army. Now that Liu cong has succeeded to the throne, Liu Bei and Liu Qi are staring at each other, and there is no hope that Cao Cao is better than Cao. Since he knows that he will be defeated, it is better to surrender early. It doesn't matter whether Cao Cao treats Liu cong well or not. The important thing is that Cao Cao will definitely be kind to these generals who propose surrender.
Kui Yue said, "That's what Fu Gongqi said! There is a way to be reverse and smooth, and there is a general situation, and the strong and weak have a fixed situation. Cao Cao waved his troops south in the name of the court, but the lord refused to resist the court, and his name was not good. And the lord is newly established, and there are external troubles and internal worries. Cao Cao is powerful. Can he win? It's better to surrender to the city than to be defeated and captured.
Liu Cong, a child, can't argue no matter how smart he is, can only hesitate: "What the public says is very good! Isn't it funny to just give up your father's foundation to others?
As soon as the words fell, I saw a little general stand up and make his debut: "I have a plan to stop Cao Bing!"
When everyone heard the words, it seemed that this young general had red lips and white teeth and beautiful eyebrows. Although he was handsome as a man, he was not inferior to a woman. Cai Mao knew that this person was Lu Xun, a young general under the command of Liu Biao. His grandfather was Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, who died because Lujiang was captured by Sun Ce. After Lu Kang's death, the Lu family left Lujiang to live in seclusion. It was not until last year that Lu Xun learned something that he became an official. It was because Liu Biao had a grudge against Sun Quan. Liu Biao saw that Lu Xun was handsome and talented, so he stayed under his command as a general.
When Cai Mao heard that Lu Xun had a plan to break Cao, he asked, "What do you have?"
Lu Xun said, "The forefather had a grudge against the Jiangdong Sun family, but he made friends with Jiaozhou Guanghua National Division. Now that Cao Cao is waving his troops south, why don't he turn to the national division? If the national division sent troops to help, why would Cao Cao be afraid?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. They just thought that the enemies in front of them were Cao, Liu Bei and Liu Qi, but they forgot that they still had foreign aid. At this time, they heard Lu Xun talking about it one after another and felt that this plan was indeed feasible.
Fu Xun proposed to surrender Cao. At this time, he was naturally unhappy to hear that Lu Xun had different opinions with himself, so he said, "The national teacher may resist Cao Cao, but the national teacher has always not liked to compete with others. How can he send troops to fight against Cao for Jingzhou?"
Lu Xun smiled and said, "Mr. Fu's words are bad! Who said that national teachers don't like to compete with others? If the national teacher does not like to fight, who will be calm down by Zhang Jiao, Dong Zhuo, Li Wei, Yuan Shao and others? Why was the national master appointed as a general? It's just that the national teacher is benevolent and righteous, and never has no sense of justice.
Fu Xun grasped the loophole in Lu Xun's words and said, "Cao Cao was ordered by the court to march south, and his name was right. The national teacher has a good relationship with Cao Cao. Even if he sent troops, he can only help Cao Cao. How can he help us wait?
Lu Xun said calmly: "Cao's narrow emperor ordered the princes to be called Han Xiang. In fact, he is a Han thief. The emperor once asked for it with a blood edict. Is he a righteous teacher? The national master once saved Cao Cao's father, but Cao Cao killed the national master's father-in-law General Ma Teng. How can he repay such kindness? If the lord agrees, I would like to be a messenger and ask the national division to send troops against Cao with a three-inch tongue. After saying that, he looked at Liu cong.
Liucong psychologically supported Lu Xun's proposal, but he did not dare to make his own decision, but looked at his mother Mrs. Cai next to him. Mrs. Cai looked at Cai Mao. Cai Mao thought for a moment and felt that Lu Xun was young and unknown, and I was afraid it would be difficult to invite Nan Ye. So he shook his head and said, "This matter is related to the survival of the people of Jingzhou. How can it be put on you? If the national teacher doesn't come, won't Jingzhou be in danger? I think it's better to surrender Cao.
When Lu Xun saw Cai Mao despised himself, he said loudly, "If you want to fall, it's better to drop the national teacher. If the national teacher surrenders, the national teacher will come to rescue, which is one of them. Second, Cao Cao is the enemy, and the national teacher is a friend. It is better to surrender to the enemy than to surrender to a friend. Third, Xiliang Han surrendered Cao and was imprisoned Xuchang, and Dong surrendered the national teacher and was still the lord of a county. Cao Cao is cunning and the national teacher is kind. Why don't you surrender to the national teacher?
No one thought that there would be such a way out, and there was a lot of discussion. This time, they were much more enthusiastic than the discussion just now. As Lu Xun said, once Jingzhou is dedicated to Nanye, Nanye will send troops to fight against Cao. At this time, they are not discussing the question of surrendering Cao and resisting Cao, but the question of which side to surrender. The generals were divided into two factions, supporting the surrender of Cao and the surrender of the south at the same time. They quarreled happily.
Lu Xun looked around coldly and smiled secretly, feeling that the generals under Liu Biao were all a group of backbone surrenderers except Li Jue, who had just died. The resistance against Cao was not active, but the surrender was quite positive.
Cai Mao saw that everyone was noisy and their ears hurt, so he shouted, "Sht up!"
When everyone saw Cai Mao angry, his voice gradually stopped. Cai Mao looked at Kuai Yue and asked, "What do you think of Mr. Yidu?"
Kua Yue looked at Lu Xun with a look of approval, and then said, "What Bo Yan said is a wonderful strategy, which also makes me wait for another choice. However, in my opinion, it's better to surrender to Cao.
When everyone heard the words, they looked at Kui Yue at the same time, and Lu Xun's eyes flashed with a cold light. Cai Mao heard the words and said, "I hope Mr. Wen will have a good opinion."
Kua Yue said: "As Bo Yan said, there are indeed some benefits to surrender to the national division, but the risk is also not small. If we surrender to Cao Cao, the national division will not attack. If we surrender to the national master, Cao Cao and the national master will definitely have a war. The battle is not small. The battlefield is set in Jingzhou. If the national division wins, we will inevitably lose soldiers and generals. If Cao Cao wins, we will die without a place to die. This is one of them. The second is that Jiaozhou is far away. If the national teacher comes to save us, we will block Cao Cao first. This is difficult. In my opinion, surrendering Cao or surrendering to the south is not the benevolence or treachery of the two, but in which of them can win. Cao Cao has eight prefectures, with strong soldiers and generals, which is obviously better, so it's better to surrender to the south than to surrender to Cao. What do you think?"
Lu Xun saw Kui Yue look into his mind and thought quickly, and then arched his hand to Kui Yue and said, "Mr. Yidu has seen a long way, and what he said is extremely true! It's not as good as the younger generation!"
Kui Yue smiled and said, "Bo Yan can think that the national teacher is already superior to everyone in the hall!"
At this time, Mrs. Cai said, "Since the public, the difference and the words are the same, we will follow the plan. I don't know who would like to go to Cao Ying to present a book? Who wants to inform the counties?
Song Zhong went out of the class and said, "I would like to send books to Cao Ying!"
When the generals saw that Song Zhong was so active, they realized that it was not a shame to send down the book, but a good thing. In addition to being familiar with the future lord Cao Cao, rewards are also indispensable. Unfortunately, he was robbed by Song Zhong. As for notifying the counties, it is an individual work. It is necessary to run all the way, and there is no benefit, and everyone will not argue.
When Lu Xun saw that everyone did not go, he took the lead and said, "I would like to inform the counties!"
Cai Mao nodded and agreed when he saw that both of the two errands were answered. At this time, another general left the class and said, "Jingxiang's nine counties are far away, and the last general is willing to send letters with Bo Yan to avoid mistakes."
Everyone saw that this person was eight feet long and his face was like a heavy date. He was Wei Yan, a native of Yiyang, and his character was long. Cai Mao thought that Wei Yan's words were reasonable, so he asked him to go with Lu Xun. Lu Xun and Wei Yan looked at each other and smiled, and then took the order out. Song Zhong also took the surrender letter to Cao Ying.
Before Cao Cao arrived at the boundary of Jingzhou, he received a letter from Song Zhong and rewarded Song Zhong. And ask Song Zhong to reply to Liu Cong. If he can welcome him in the city, he will be ordered to be the lord of Jingzhou forever in the future.
Song Zhong was very happy to get the reward. After suffrecating Cao Cao, he returned to Jingzhou to summon him. Halfway, suddenly a man in front of him stopped the road. It was Guan Yu who led the army to patrol. Song Zhong could not avoid being called by Guan Yu to ask about Jingzhou. At first, Song Zhong wanted to hide it. When Guan Yu saw him talking, he forced him to ask again and again. Song Zhong had no choice but to tell the truth.
Guan Yu heard that Liu Biao was dead. Liu cong surrendered to Cao and was shocked at that time and caught Song Zhong to repay Liu Bei. Liu Bei was still waiting for Liu Biao to pass the throne and Liu Qi himself to assist the government. As a result, after listening to Song Zhong, he cried at that time. As for Liu Biao's death or Jingzhou returned to Cao Cao, it was unknown.
Zhang Fei said angrily, "At this point, you can kill Song Zhong first, cross the river and capture Xiangyang, kill Cai and Liu cong, and then fight with Cao Cao."
Liu Bei also wanted to be happy as Zhang Fei said, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, all because of the word benevolence and righteousness. He stopped Zhang Fei and said, "Stop talking. I'll think about it." After saying that, he said to Song Zhong, "Why didn't you come to report me early for such a big event? It won't help to kill you now. You can go quickly."
Song Zhong heard the words and rushed away with his head in his arms. Liu Bei was worried and was about to recruit Zhuge Liang to discuss countermeasures, but a subordinate came to report: "Mr. Liu Qi sent Yi Ji as an envoy to tell him something important."
