Chapter 138
Inside the city of Xiangyang.
Rumors about Liu Biao appearing outside the city alive but being shot by Cai Mao's order soon spread.
For a time, the city was full of wind and rain, and rumors were spreading.
within the state capital.
Cai Mao met with Kuai Yue and told the truth about the cause and effect.
"De Jue, you are too impulsive, you have fallen for that Xiao Yuan's poisonous scheme!"
Kuai Yue stumbled and complained.
Cai Mao was stunned, her eyes were puzzled.
"Xiangyang City is not monolithic, and many people are dissatisfied with you and my clan and their control of Jingzhou's military and political power. "
"You shot Liu Jingsheng in public like this, didn't you just give those people the truth, and drove them to secretly collude with Liu Bei?"
"This is exactly what Xiao Yuan is for. "
Kuai Yue broke the mystery with a helpless face.
Cai Mao suddenly realized and exclaimed: "According to what you mean, then Xiao Yuan calculated that I would attack Liu Biao, so he deliberately persuaded Liu Biao to surrender?"
Kuai Yue nodded heavily, and sighed again.
"That Xiao Yuan, it's really treacherous and vicious~~"
Cai Mao gritted her teeth and scolded.
After that, he said helplessly: "But what can I do, if I don't shoot Liu Biao at that time, the army's heart will be shaken, and they will really open the city gate and surrender to the big-eared thief." "
Kuai Yue was right to think about it, so he had to sigh:
"This Xiao Yuan, every step of the way, every step of ours is in his calculations!"
The two sighed and sighed.
Then.
Liu Cong, who was dressed in filial piety, came to the main hall.
Cai Kuai and the two exchanged glances and stood up to salute.
"Uncle Deju, I heard that my father is still alive and appeared outside the city today, and you actually ordered an arrow to be shot?"
Liu Cong asked straightforwardly, with a hint of resentment hidden in his words.
"Those are all rumors, and the Lord must not be gullible to believe them. "
"In fact, it was the big-eared thief who made people pretend to be the first prince of Jingsheng, wanting to lure down the officers and soldiers of our army and shake the hearts of our army. "
"I saw through the tricks of the big-eared thief at a glance, so I decisively ordered to shoot the impostor!"
Cai Mao's righteous and stern explanation, there was no trace of a thief's heart on his face.
"Is that really the case?"
Liu Cong was skeptical.
"The first prince of Jingsheng is as kind to me as a mountain, if he is really alive, I will fight my life to get out of the city and save him, how can I shoot him?"
"Who am I, Cai Mao, don't the lord understand, how can I do that kind of thing to kill the lord!"
"I would like to swear to the heavens, if there is half a word of lying, my Cai Mao will be broken into thousands of pieces, and I will not die well!"
Cai Mao pointed to the sky and solemnly swore a poisonous oath.
Liu Cong's face was suspicious, and then he put it away, and said busily:
"Uncle doesn't have to make this poisonous oath, I just asked casually, how can I not believe my uncle"
Cai Mao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's just that Liu Bei's army is coming to the city, and the morale of our army and people is low and the people are panicking. "
"I want to ask the two of you, do we really have the ability to hold on to Xiangyang and guard until Yuan Shao goes south?"
Liu Cong's face was full of sadness.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's bodies were shocked.
Chaisang, Haguchi, Gangneung...
Which one is not a strong city in the world?
But in the end, none of them could stop Liu Bei's soldiers.
Will Xiangyang be an exception?
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue asked themselves, and couldn't help but feel a little weak.
"The lord is worried. "
"If we only hold the city, we have nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, sufficient food and grass, and the walls have been thickened, but it is not impossible to defend it. "
"But the big-eared thief has that Xiao Yuan. "
"I'm afraid that kid will come up with some clever plan for Liu Bei, which will make us unable to guard against it. "
Cai Mao, who has suffered a lot, is deeply jealous of Xiao Yuan.
"Indeed, this Xiao Yuan is indeed tricky..."
Kuai Yue muttered to himself, his thoughts racing.
Suddenly, a light flashed in front of his eyes.
"My lord, we have only one way to go. "
"Which way?"
Kuai Yue pointed north: "Return to Cao Mengde!"
Liu Cong was taken aback.
I thought Kuai Yue had come up with some clever plan, but I didn't expect him to surrender to Cao Cao!
What kind of bad idea is this?
Liu Cong's face sank: "Kuai Yidu, your so-called clever plan is to let me give the inheritance left by my father to Cao Cao?"
"Inheritance?"
Kuai Yue smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically: "What the first prince of Jingsheng left to the lord, apart from the corner of Xiangyang, is there any inheritance?"
Liu Cong was speechless.
"In this situation, it is very likely that we will not be able to wait for Yuan Shao to go south, and Xiangyang City will be attacked by big-eared thieves. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"At that time, the lord was only afraid that he would not be able to escape the poisonous hands of the big-eared thief. "
"All of us have to die under that Liu Bei's butcher's knife. "
"Instead of sitting and waiting for death, why don't you go to Xiangyang and dedicate it to Cao Gong?"
"In this way, the lord is still credited to Cao Gong and the court, and with Cao Gong's courage, he will definitely give the lord a rich and noble life. "
"Isn't this the best way out for you, my lord?"
Kuai Yue's clever tongue is like a spring, weaving a bright future for Liu Cong.
Cai Mao's eyes rolled, and she immediately understood the deep meaning of Kuai Yue.
Liu Cong descended to Cao, and the best outcome was to become a mascot and get rich for the rest of his life.
They demoted Cao Cao, but they were able to continue to be officials in Cao Ying.
As for Yuan Shao's southward movement in the future, Cao Cao will be defeated and destroyed, and they will be able to surrender to Yuan again.
No matter who is the titular lord of Jingzhou, the status of their Cai Kuai clan in Jingzhou will be unshakable.
"Xenomorph has a point. "
"My lord, it is indeed the only choice to descend Cao. "
Cai Mao immediately made a decision, immediately joined Kuai Yue, and persuaded Liu Cong.
Liu Cong was silent and hesitated.
"Lord, if there are constant opportunities, you will be in trouble. "
"Time is pressing, if the lord hesitates, once Xiangyang City is broken, everything will be over!"
Kuai Yue said bitterly.
"Please don't hesitate any longer, make a decision quickly!"
Cai Mao also persecuted.
Liu Cong's face was helpless, so he had to sigh bitterly: "That's it, it's up to the two of you, and I will descend to Cao." "
Cai Maoyue looked at each other secretly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up and smiled.
On the same day, a rider holding Liu Cong's descending book, crossed the Han River to the north, and went straight to Xudu.
...
Guanzhong, Chencang.
A celebration banquet is being held in the palace.
After a fierce battle in January, Cao Cao inflicted heavy losses on the princes of Xiliang, and pursued all the way from martial arts to Chencang.
Ma Teng, Yang Qiu, Liang Xing and other seven generals surrendered to Cao, and Han Sui only led less than 1,000 horsemen to flee to Longxi.
At the end of this battle, the generals of Liangzhou were no longer angry.
Cao Cao set up a banquet to appease Ma Teng and other Liangzhou generals.
"'As Feng Xiao expected, I have defeated the generals of Liangzhou, but Yuan Benchu was only gathering troops and horses. "
"You commented that he was scheming and indecisive, and he hit the nail on the head. "
Cao Cao raised his glass and smiled at Guo Jia, and his eyebrows did not hide sarcasm.
Guo Jia raised his glass and said with a smile: "The lord will take another month at most, and he will be able to clear Longyou, destroy Han Sui and other remnants, and then he will be able to return to Xudu, and calmly face Yuan Shao south." "
Cao Cao laughed and raised his glass to drink.
"Newspaper~~"
Xun Lingjun sent an urgent report from Xu Du. "
The guards hurried in and presented a silk book.
Cao Cao took it casually, just glanced at it, and suddenly changed color.
"Liu Bei captured Jiangling, Liu Biao died!"
"Liu Cong wants to surrender to me?"
Cao Cao blurted out Xun Yu's urgent report.
Guo Jia and other military generals were all shocked.
Cao Cao sat up, with a solemn face, carefully studying Xun Yu's urgent report.
In the urgent report, Liu Bei used a plan (Wang's) to persuade Huang Zhong to surrender, cut off the northern road, and forced Liu Biao to abandon the city and retreat north.
Then Tai Shici seized Dangyang Bridge, cut off Liu Biao's way back, and captured him alive.
Later, Liu Bei's soldiers came to Xiangyang, and Liu Cong, who succeeded to the throne, knew that he was invincible, so he chose to ask him to surrender...
So everything is clearly written.
"Jiangling is such an important town, it was actually snapped by that Xiao Yuan, and he asked Liu Bei to take it without spending a single soldier. "
"Liu Biao sat on Jiang Han, and there were 100,000 men with armor under his command, but they were destroyed by Liu Bei in this way. "
"Liu Bei has this Xiao Yuan, it is really a hidden dragon meets the east wind, soaring into the sky, unstoppable..."
Cao Cao sighed with emotion, and there was both jealousy and envy in his words.
As he spoke, he showed Xun Yu's urgent report to Guo Jia and others.
In the palace, there was an immediate uproar.
"This Xiao Yuan's clever plan is really as unpredictable as ever. "
"Liu Biao was destroyed by Liu Bei, but I expected it, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. "
Guo Jia also roared with emotion.
Then, a gleam appeared in his eyes.
However, Liu Cong's invitation to surrender was an unexpected joy. "
"Sikong, without further ado, please return to the east and go straight to Xiangyang!"
