Chapter 53 Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and became the three kings. Nanye sent troops to Xiliang 1

When Nan Ye saw Ma Chao, Cao Cao had already died for a long time. Ma Chao cut off Cao Cao's head to pay tribute to Ma Teng, and finally failed to leave the whole body for Cao Cao. Although Cao Hong fought desperately, he couldn't beat Pound and Ma Dai, not to mention Xun You, Cheng Yu and other literary ministers, all of whom died under the iron hooves.

Ma Chao's fourth general looked at Nan Ye and then hurried forward to salute. Ma Chaohu bowed to Nan Ye with tears in his eyes and said, "Today, my father's revenge is to repay the whole national teacher. We will repay this great kindness to the death."

Nan Ye helped Ma Chao and said, "It's also my job to avenge the old general. Meng Qi doesn't have to be polite."

After Ma Chao got up, he asked Nan Ye, "The thief Cao is dead. How should we transfer the soldiers?"

Nan Ye thought for a moment and said, "There are Wei Wenchang and Lu Boyan as internal responders in Nanjun, and there are still Jingzhou soldiers in Xiangyang that are not easy to attack. Meng Qi can order the soldiers to disguise themselves as Cao Cao's defeated soldiers and cheat Nanyang County. After I get the South County, I can transfer my superiors to Chang'an.

Ma Chao took the order to capture Nanyang County with Pound and Ma Dai, while Ma Yunqi returned with Nan Ye and went in the direction of Nan County.

Let's say that Zhou Yu won a great victory in Chibi, and the army will declare their merits to Sun Quan, and then reward the three armies. In this battle, Zhou Yu captured Cao Jun's grain, grass, cars and boats, and more than 100,000 soldiers. It can be said that he won a complete victory, but Zhou Yu was not satisfied. Naturally, the contribution to the capture of the flag is not small, but it is not as great as the contribution of expanding the territory. So after Zhou Yu's army, he negotiated to attack Jingzhou.

The four counties in the south of Jingzhou have returned to Nanye. Jiangxia is in the hands of Liu Bei and Liu Qi, so Zhou Yu can only choose one from Nan County, Nanyang County, Xiangyang County and Zhangling County. Among these four counties, there are many soldiers in Xiangyang and Zhangling. Nanyang County is far away. Only Nan County is the closest to Chibi, so Zhou Yu decided to enter Nan County.

When Zhou Yu was discussing entering the army, his subordinates came to report: "Liu Xuande's envoy Sun Qian came to congratulate the governor on the victory of Chibi."

Zhou Yu ordered Sun Qian to be invited in. Sun Qian said, "My lord prepared a small gift and thanked the governor for withdrawing Cao Dade."

Zhou Yu also asked politely, "Where is Xuande Gong now?"

Sun Qian replied, "After the main division of the soldiers killed Cao Cao, he moved troops to the mouth of the Youjiang River."

Zhou Yu was shocked to hear the words and asked, "Guanghua Guoshi and Kong Ming can be in Youjiang?"

Sun Qian said, "The military division and the lord are in the oil river. The national teacher intercepted Cao Cao. I don't know where he is now.

Zhou Yu nodded when he heard the words and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Sir, you can go back first, and then I will go to thank you in person."

Sun Qian saw that Zhou Yu had received the gift and left. Lu Su asked Zhou Yu, "Why is the governor surprised?"

Zhou Yu said, "Liu Bei must want to take the South County. I spent a lot of military horses and spent a lot of money and food. At present, Nanjun is at his fingertips. Liu Bei is not kind and wants to make it ready, so he needs to pass me first!"

Lu Su asked in shock, "If it's really like this, what's the plan to retreat?"

Zhou Yu said, "I'll discuss it with him first. If it's not good, I'll end up with Liu Bei and bring Jiang Xia."

Now that Cao Cao has been defeated, Lu Su does not blindly defend the Sun Liu alliance. Hearing that Zhou Yu was going to compete with Liu Bei for Jingzhou, Lu Su was very much in favor of it: "I would like to discuss with the governor."

The two agreed, and then led 3,000 light horses to the mouth of the Youjiang River. After Sun Qian returned to see Liu Bei, he returned Zhou Yu's request to thank Liu Bei. Liu Bei didn't know Zhou Yu's intention and asked Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "How can Zhou Gongjin reward him with his own gift?" This is for the matter of South County.

Liu Bei has been taking advantage of Liu Qi's land to settle down in Jiangxia, and now Cao Cao is trying to take advantage of the chaos to take Jingbei as a place to settle down. Hearing that Zhou Yu wanted to take Nan County, he said urgently, "Zhou Gongjin will not let me send troops if he wants to take Nan County. How should I answer?"

Zhuge Liang said, "Master, you don't need to worry too much, just answer correctly..."

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei's men and horses also went outside the camp, and Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to welcome him. Zhou Yu saw that Liu Bei's army was majestic and morale was high, and he was even more uneasy and regarded Liu Bei as the number one enemy.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su went to the camp gate, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang went out to welcome the account, and then held a banquet. During the banquet, Liu Bei just kept raising his glass to thank Zhou Yu for the soldiers in Chibi, and did not mention Nan County.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Yu saw that Liu Bei was still pretending to be stupid and couldn't help asking directly, "Is Liu Yuzhou moving troops here? Does it mean to take Nan County?"

Liu Bei followed Zhuge Liang's instructions: "I heard that the governor wants to take Nanjun to help. If the governor doesn't take it, I will take it."

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "I have defeated Cao Cao's army. Now Nanjun is in the palm of his hand. Why don't you take it?"

Liu Bei said: "The outcome is not scheduled. Cao Cao has arranged people in the southern county to defend the national division. I'm afraid that the governor can't win.

Zhou Yu said, "I don't need the help of my uncle. If I can't take it, I will let my uncle take it at that time."

Liu Bei said, "Zijing and Kong Ming are here as proof. Don't regret it."

Lu Su heard that Liu Bei had the intention of being a fierce general and couldn't help looking at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu didn't care, "If a man has said a word, why do you regret it?"

Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to interrupt: "The governor's words are very fair. You might as well let the governor take it first. If you can't win the lord, you can take it again.

As soon as the words fell, there was a humane outside the account: "If Gongjin and Xuande can't take it, I don't know if I can take it?"

Liu Bei and Zhou Yu were shocked to hear the sound. When everyone in the account looked out of the account, they saw Nan Ye picking up the curtain and entering. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei had a deep friendship with Nan Ye, and the three families joined forces to resist Cao, so Nan Ye did not need to be notified when he entered the camp and directly entered the coach's account.

After Nanye intercepted Cao Cao, he wanted to take Nanjun directly, but halfway, he remembered that Zhou Yu and Liu Bei were also thinking about Nanjun. In order for the three soldiers and horses not to fight, Nan Ye said hello to Liu Bei's camp first, but Zhou Yu happened to be there.

When Zhuge Liang saw Nan Ye, he couldn't help asking, "The national teacher is here. I don't know how Cao Cao's life is?"

Everyone in the account couldn't help but prick their ears when they heard Zhuge Liang ask about Cao Cao. The last news they got was that Guan Yu let Cao Cao go, and no one knew the result of Nan Ye's final interception of Cao Cao.

Nan Ye knew that the news of Cao Cao's death would inevitably shock the world. In order to ensure that the bodyguard bureau and Qianzhuang in Cao Cao's territory could safely evacuate, Nan Ye did not plan to spread the news of Cao Cao's death now. So he said, "I failed to kill Cao Mengde in Huarong Road, but Meng Qi has followed him, and I don't know what the result will be."

Zhou Yu knew that Cao Cao had a lot of sons, and even if Cao died, there would be others to succeed to the throne. Therefore, he did not care about Cao Cao's life or death, but more concerned about the South County in front of him. Zhou Yu frowned and asked, "The national teacher has always guarded the land peacefully. Why did he take the land of the southern county?"

Nan Ye smiled and said, "After this war, I and Cao Mengde are the same. If I don't take the opportunity to take the land, will Nanjun be left to him to recruit soldiers to gather grass and grain in Dongshan again?"
