Chapter 52 Liu Biao lost his body in Jingzhou Cao Liu Sunnan fought against Chibi 8

Lu Xun and Wei Yan were shocked to hear Nan Ye's order to return to Jingzhou to continue to play infernal Affairs. They finally found an excuse to escape. Naturally, they wanted to fight side by side with Nan Ye and did not want to return to Jingzhou to play for Liu Cong, so they couldn't help asking the reason.

Pang Tong laughed and said, "If Wen Chang and Bo Yan want to make great achievements, go back quickly, and then..."

After listening to Pang Unification's explanation, Lu Xun and Wei Yan suddenly understood that they all took the order and left. Pang Tong said to Nanye again, "The national master is here to unite Liu Xuande and Sun Zhongmou to fight against Cao Cao. There is no need to bring more soldiers. It's better to station the generals in Jingnan and wait for Cao Cao to unify Jingzhou."

Nan Ye nodded and said, "According to Shiyuan's plan, Shi Yuan and Ziyu have been removed. I only took my relatives and guards to accompany me, and the camp and the generals stayed here to assist Wen Yuan and Wen He."

As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao suddenly said, "I also asked the national teacher to take me there. In this battle, I will kill Cao Thieves to avenge my father."

Nan Ye nodded and said, "That's good! Meng Qi can hand over his soldiers and horses to command Ming and Bo Zhan to go with me.

The distribution of the people has been determined, and Nanye led Pang Tong, Zhuge Jin, Ma Chao and 300 relatives to the north, accompanied by Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Zhang Baiqi, Ma Yunqi and Hua Bei. The rest of Huang Zhong, Pang De, Zhao Yun, Yang Xiong, Gao Shun and other generals stayed in Jingnan to assist Zhang Liao and Jia Xu in leading the army.

Lu Xun and Wei Yan resigned from Nanye and defected to Xiangyang to see Liu Cheng and said, "The lord's affairs are not good. Liu Du, the governor of Lingling, Zhao Fan, the governor of Guiyang, Jin Xuan, and Han Xuan, the governor of Changsha, all of them did not join Cao Cheng. Instead, they defected to Nanye's national division. Now the army of Jiaozhou has entered, and the four counties have returned to the division."

"What are you going to say?" Cai Mao became angry at that time. Jingxiang's nine counties went halfway. Seeing Nan Ye's soldiers coming to the city, how could he not be in a hurry?

When Kaiyue heard this, he asked doubtfully, "Since all four counties have surrendered to Nanye, how can you escape back?"

Lu Xun said, "The national teacher knows that we are just messengers, and it is not difficult for us to tell our lord. It is said that Jiaozhou and Jingzhou are connected, and the former master is on good with the national teacher, and the national teacher has no intention of attacking each other. It's just that four counties come to surrender, and the national division must protect each other in case Cao Cao comes to attack the people.

Cai Mao was relieved to hear the words and said, "So Nanye has no intention of crusade against my Jingzhou?"

Wei Yan said, "That's exactly what happened! The national division also said that as long as Cao Bing did not come to attack, he would not take the initiative to send troops. The lord dedicated the land of Jingbei to Prime Minister Cao, and the national teacher did not ask.

How can Cai Maojiu not know that the four counties in Jingnan are vast and sparsely populated, and the five counties in Jingbei are densely populated? Jingzhou's main economic and military forces are concentrated in Jingbei, and even if the four counties of Jingnan invest in Nanye, the overall strength loss of Jingzhou is not as exaggerated as four-ninths. As long as Nan Ye did not mean to annex Jingzhou, Cai Mao didn't have to worry too much and said, "Luckily! Fortunately!"

When he heard the words, he frowned and said, "The soldier is so gimmorical! Although Nanye's national teacher will not attack on the front, we can't prevent it. When sent troops to guard Nan County, prevent Nan Ye from attacking.

Cai Mao said when he heard the words, "What the strangeness said is extremely true! I don't know who wants to go?"

Lu Xun and Wei Yan looked at each other and said, "We are willing to lead the troops. If Nanye comes back to attack, we will be the Lord."

When Cai Mao heard the words, he ordered the two of them to lead 20,000 troops to defend Nan County, and then said to Kuai Yue, "Before, Zhong Zi (the character of Song Zhong) had already offered a letter of surrender. Now if Cao Cheng knows that the four counties were obtained by Nan Ye, won't he blame me?"

Kui Yue said, "Liu Xuande abandoned Xinye and went to Fancheng, and was defeated by Prime Minister Cao. Now that Prime Minister Cao is in Fancheng, the general had better explain it himself.

When Cai Mao heard the words, he went to Fancheng with Zhang Yun and visited Cao Cao to plead guilty. He told the four counties about their turn to Nanye again, and then knelt down and waited for Cao Cao to fall.

Cao Cao frowned when he heard the words. Jingxiang's nine counties and four counties threw himself into Nanye, and Jiang Xia was in Liu Qi's hands, which was equivalent to Cao Cao's only half of Jingzhou, which made Cao very unhappy. However, on second thought, it didn't cost a single soldier to get half of Jingzhou for Cai Mao, a fool, and somehow he made money. So he smiled and comforted Cai Mao and said, "This is not General Cai's fault. What's the general's fault? I don't know how many soldiers and horses in Jingzhou have now?

Cai Mao was relieved to see that Cao did not blame himself and flattered: "Now there are 20,000 horse troops, 80,000 foot soldiers, 80,000 water troops, a total of 180,000 horses in Jingzhou. Most of the money and grain are in Jiangling, which is enough for a large army for two years. The rest of the food and fodder are enough for the defenders for a whole life.

Due to Nanye's immigration policy, people from all over the country gathered in Jiaozhou, and the strength of the princes in the world has also weakened a lot. Cao Cao recruited more than half of the people and horses to get 300,000 soldiers this time. Unexpectedly, there were 180,000 people and horses in Jingzhou, which made Cao very happy and then asked with a smile, "How many warships are there in Jingzhou? Who is in charge of it?"

Cai Mao said, "There are more than 5,000 large and small warships, which were originally under the control of the two of us."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "You two have contributed to the city, and I will reward you very much." After saying that, Cai Mao was appointed as the Marquis of Zhennan and the governor of the navy. Zhang Yun helped Shunhou and the deputy governor of the navy.

The two of them were very happy to thank him, and Cao Cao said, "Liu Jingsheng is dead, and his son is obedient to me. I will serve as the Son of Heaven and order him to be the Lord of Jingzhou forever.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were overjoyed to hear the words. They all knew that Liu Cong was just a puppet, and Cao Cao gave them military power. I'm afraid Jingzhou will be the one who will forget it in the future. The two of them bowed and retreated happily.

Cao's generals were disappropriate when they saw that the two had made an inch of achievements. Xiahou said, "Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are treacherous people who betrayed the master. Why did the lord make them so distinguished?"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I don't know that they are young people, but we and the people in the north are not used to water warfare, so we will use these two for the time being. After it's done, don't pay attention to it.

Cao Ren said, "Nan Ye boldly occupied four counties. Since the lord got Jingbei, why not take advantage of the situation to go south to get the land?"

"Lord, you can't!" As soon as Cao Ren's voice fell, Xun You said, "Now Liu Bei is still flat, Liu Qi is not destroyed, and Jiang Dong Sun Quan is staring at him. If the lord waved his army and went south to fight with Nanye, once the war was stalemate, Liu Bei and others attacked me and cut off my way back, and it was too late to repent. Nanye has not sent troops to attack, so we don't have to provoke them. When we sweep down the two states of Jing and Yang, and then go south, the first battle can be handed over to the state.

Cao Cao naturally knew the truth of attacking from far and near. It was obviously not a good idea to fight Nan Ye, whose strength was second only to him, without fighting with Liu Bei, Liu Qi and Sun Quan under his eyes. Once the war was glued as Xun You said, Cao Cao guessed that as long as Nan Ye climbed high, Liu Bei and Sun Quan would rise up to respond. At that time, he would be very passive. Nowadays, the best way is to encroach on the princes in the south one by one. Nan Ye is the best not to send troops. Let's destroy Liu Bei and Sun Quan first.

With a plan in his heart, Cao Cao nodded and said, "What Gongda said is extremely true! I will enter Xiangyang first and then chase the big-eared thief Liu Bei. As long as some more soldiers and horses are added to Nan County, even if Nanye attacks, it will not be available for a while.

However, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun said when they saw Liu cong and said, "Cao Prime Minister Bao Gongyong Town Jingzhou. The lord can meet the prime minister as soon as possible.

Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong were overjoyed to hear the words. The next day, they held the Jingzhou seal and personally crossed the river to welcome Cao Cao. Cao Cao comforted him and led the army to station outside Xiangyang City.

After Cao entered the city, he received the generals at the state pastoral government, and specially summoned the ancient Yue to comfort him and said, "I'm not happy to get Jingzhou, and I'm so happy." After saying that, Kuai Yue was appointed as the Marquis of Fancheng, the governor of Jiangling, and Fu Xun was the Marquis of Guannei. He also named Liu Hong as the governor of Qingzhou and ordered him to leave immediately.

Mrs. Cai and Liu cong were shocked when they heard the words. Mrs. Cai asked, "Didn't the Prime Minister promise to let my son be the lord of Jingzhou forever?"

Cao Cao stared at Mrs. Cai and said, "I will discuss military and state affairs with the generals. How can you be interrupted by a woman?" Come on, call me out."

Mrs. Cai's face turned pale when she heard the words, and Liu cong also kept her mother tremble. Seeing this, Cai Mao hurried forward and pleaded, "My sister bumped into the Prime Minister and asked the Prime Minister to calm his anger!"

When Cao saw Cai Mao begging for mercy, Cao said slowly, "It turns out that this woman is the sister of Governor Cai. In the face of Governor Cai, I was exempt from her. Previously, I said that I made Liu cong the lord of Qingzhou, not Jingzhou. General Cai heard it wrong!"

How dare Cai Mao refute Cao Cao at this time? He hurriedly said, "It's Qingzhou! It's Qingzhou! I heard it wrong. Don't be surprised by the Prime Minister. After saying that, Mrs. Lacai was pulled.

Mrs Cai also saw that I was a fish at this time, so she shut up and didn't dare to say anything more. Liu cong hugged Mrs. Cai and said, "I don't want to go to Qingzhou as an official. I would like to stay at home to accompany my mother."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Qingzhou is close to the imperial capital, so you can avoid being harmed in Jingxiang as an official with the dynasty. Besides, if a man is determined to be in all directions, how can he keep his parents at home all the time?

Liu cong cried when he heard the words. Cao Cao frowned and made their mother and son retreat to Qingzhou together. Mrs. Cai didn't expect that the surrender of Cao would end, and she regretted not surrendering Nanye at the beginning. What Mrs. Cai didn't expect was that in order to show their loyalty to Cao Cao, no one in Jingzhou was willing to escort them along the way, so they only followed Wang Wei. At this time, Cai Fu knew who was loyal, but unfortunately it was too late.

When Cao Cao saw that Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong had left, he secretly told Xia Houyuan, "You can lead a light horse to chase Liu Cong's mother and son to eliminate future trouble."

After Xiahou Yuan got the order, he led the leopard in the tiger and leopard and then chased it. When he saw Liu Cong driving, he shouted, "I'm ordered by the Prime Minister to kill you! But you can give the first level to be a clear ghost!"

Mrs. Cai hugged Liu cong and cried when she heard the words, and Xia Houyuan led the tiger and leopard to surround him. Wang Wei was furious and tried his best to protect the Lord, but others were alone. How could he ride a tiger and leopard? The cavalry rushed up and chopped Wang Wei and his subordinates into meat sauce. Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong also died in the chaotic army.

Xiahouyuan killed the mother and son and raised their heads to return to Cao Cao. After Cao's reward, Cao ordered Xiahouyuan to go to Longzhong to catch Zhuge Liang's family, but at this time, Zhuge had already been instructed by Zhuge Liang to move out of Longzhong.

Cao Cao's visit to Zhuge Liang's family was fruitless, so he ordered 5,000 tigers and leopards under his command to be the vanguard and went in to chase Liu Bei before the starry night. After Cao led the army himself, he vowed to catch Liu Bei before he arrived in Jiangxia.
