Cao Ren couldn't figure it out, on the one hand, because Cao Ren himself could not be considered a person of wisdom. He had no problem with the decision and tactical choices in the battle formation, but when it involved medium- and long-term, or even high-level strategies, he was a little confused.
Although Cao Zhen is slightly better than Cao Ren and has more ideas about strategy, he is still young after all and lacks experience, so he cannot accurately predict Fei Qian's strategy.
As a result, all the civil and military officials in Jingzhou were summoned to discuss and discuss the meaning of this military operation of the Sichuan and Shu army.
The leaders at all levels of the meeting...uh, they have been flirting with each other. No matter whether they are crooked or decent officials, as long as they can rank, they will all come.
For most Jingzhou natives, their emotions for Fei Qian are quite complicated. Because Fei Qian is still half of the Jingzhou gentry. Sometimes, these Jingzhou natives may not have thought about what happened in the middle of the night, and then they would have some regrets, annoyance, regret, hatred, etc., and tossing and turning, unable to sleep, but after dawn the next day, they still have to face the life in front of them again.
Therefore, when I heard that when the cavalry of Sichuan and Shu built the Qianjin River Village on Yidao, whether it was news early or what I just heard, it became a little subtle.
Cai Mao narrowed his eyes slightly and stroked his beard, as if he was very calm. In fact, his heart was like boiling water, and all kinds of thoughts were bubbled. The cooperation between Cai and Fei Qian was relatively in a relatively secret stage, and the matter of shipbuilding could not be built in one or two days. So in Jingzhou, Cai only found a relatively secret place in Yunmengze, and then secretly sent someone to deliver goods there. At the same time, he had to be careful of being discovered by Cao's army, so he could not get faster. So this time, the cavalry of Sichuan and Shu came to Yidao, was it necessary to cover himself?
Cai Mao was thinking in his heart, but he heard Kuai Yue saying in a deep voice: "If the cavalry built a water camp, it would be a great threat if it was time to go. The road of the barbarians would be rushing, the two waters would gather together, and the road would be divided into three parts. Jiangling could be controlled above and Jiangxia below. Within three days, the troops could reach the city directly! If Jiangling was not protected, Xiangyang would inevitably be shaking! Therefore, in my opinion, it is advisable to send troops to block it to avoid Xiangyang's mistakes."
Cai Mao glanced at Kuai Yue and sneered in his heart.
What else is talking about Xiangyang? Kuai Yue himself is afraid that Jiangling is in danger!
The people present basically know what the Yidao has become, so even if the cavalry and horses build a water camp there, it is not to say that the cultivation can be done well in a short time. However, if you want to speed up the construction speed, then it is natural to increase manpower. One is transported from Sichuan and Sichuan, the other is...
Of course, the local area collects manpower, and where is the closest place to Yidao and there are really some people?
Jiangling.
Jiangling was also in a terrible state before.
First, they were captured by Jiangdong, and then the plague spread. The Cao army treated the bargaining chips as exchange chips and sent them to Guanzhong. So in Jiangling, not to mention the tender leeks, even the roots of the leeks were completely digged. Although most of the Kuai brothers and the children of the Jiangling gentry fled to Xiangyang before the risk came, their lives were saved, but the roots of the leeks in the field were broken!
When the troops retreated, the plague also subsided. After these gentry children of Jiangling, especially the Kuai family, whom they had been longing for, returned to Jiangling, and they were in a state of silence. They were all in tears. Although the children of the gentry looked down on those ordinary people in their daily lives, they would show that they were low-legged muggles and other muggies. But without these working-employed Qianshou, the children of the gentry would have a problem with eating and drinking!
So Kuai had to lower his face, followed Cao Ren's butt for a long time, and bowed his head to Cai Mao again. Only then did he receive some population allocation and material support, and gradually restore Jiangling to some vitality.
Therefore, the most nervous thing about the Yidao Water Village is naturally the Kuai family. When Cao Ren asked, Kuai Yue spoke anxiously and didn't care about being disliked. Anyway, he had no face, and it didn't matter if he was sneered. As long as he could care about the leeks on his own plate, it wouldn't be a big deal even if he needed to add a few more Cao Ren's backdrops!
If Jiangling City is destroyed again, Kuai's family will have the desire to die!
Well, as for whether the water will be too cold, it's a different story.
So, Kuai Yue was almost trying to ask Cao Ren to send troops. Then if he really sent troops, where could the soldiers go? He had to station in Jiangling, and wouldn't Jiangling be more secure?
When Cao Ren heard this, he neither said it was OK nor said anything wrong. Instead, he turned to Wenpin and asked: "General Wen, what do you think?"
Is Wenpin a person quite interesting? If you discuss the strategy of Wenpin, Wenpin is not bad, but the only thing that makes Cao Cao feel a little regretful is that Wenpin is unwilling to leave his hometown. Before Liu Cong surrendered, Wenpin was powerless to turn things around. In desperation, he returned to his hometown and stayed away. Cao Cao sent someone to recruit people. As a result, Wenpin said that he was a woodcutter in the mountains and fields, and could not defend his homeland, nor was he particularly talented, so ashamed to see others and reject Cao Cao's recruitment.
After hearing this, Cao Cao was very moved. He went to Wenpin in person before leaving Jingzhou, which was considered to have gained Wenpin. However, Wenpin also said that he was only willing to become an official in Jingzhou. Cao Cao finally nodded in agreement, so he served as a deputy under Cao Ren. He was responsible for training new recruits and the navy commander, mainly for the defense and guarding of Jiangdong.
Wen Pin bowed and said, "There are more than a hundred ships of all sizes now. If you want to fight in the barbarians, it's okay, but... if it's too much, it's afraid it's difficult to defend against the Jiangdong Navy." Wen Pin's words are true.
The Cao family was actually not very relieved about Cai Mao. So the navy in Jingzhou was on the surface, Cai Mao and Wen Pin were in charge, but in fact, most of them were Wen Pin. There is no way. Who made the Cai family and the Pang family marry? If the navy was really handed over to Cai Mao, Cao family would not sleep well, right?
South of Jiangling, the waterway is complex and the Yunmeng Lake is vast. Not to mention more than a hundred ships, even if it is two or three times more, it will be inconspicuous in this water area. Therefore, it can only focus on defense. Combining points and lines, it is impossible to spread the surface. Therefore, if the war is really started on the Yidao and the ships are lost, it will inevitably lead to loopholes in the original defensive front. If Jiangdong has some thoughts at that time, it may not be able to defend.
Cao Ren nodded again and asked Cai Mao, "General Cai, what are the plans?"
When Cai Mao heard Cao Ren's inquiry, he slowly bowed to Cao Ren before saying slowly: "I have felt a little cold recently and stayed in my door and didn't come out, so I didn't know the change... I dare to ask the general, is there any movement in the Wuguan area of ​​the cavalry in the Guanzhong?"
After hearing Cai Mao's question, Cao Ren's heart moved and then said in a deep voice: "Nothing has changed yet."
Cai Mao nodded and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates are average and have the importance of the Prime Minister. I feel that there is no way to repay them. Not to mention that the cavalry attacked, it was the arrival of Jiangdong Qi. For the prime minister's great cause, the elders of Jingzhou should fight to the death! However, before the troops and horses were moved, the current spring plowing matters..."
Cao Ren slapped his hands suddenly, "It's still Degui's words that are pertinent!"
Cao Ren immediately ordered to send small-scale boats as water surface surveillances to check the movements of the Sichuan and Shu army and the Jiangdong army. The rest of the people were responsible for the spring farming work in Jingzhou first. They must not affect the cultivation of Zhuanghe in Jingzhou due to changes in the wild path. Such an order certainly made Kuai Yue very dissatisfied, but he had no way to oppose anything. He could only prick Cai Mao with his eyes resentment.
Cai Mao might not see it, or maybe he saw it, but he was unmoved.
Cao Ren watched everyone leave slowly, and then laughed and scolded, "This old slippery guy..."
Cao Zhen was puzzled, "General, you are... what General Cai said just now, is there something wrong with it?"
Cao Ren shook his head, "What Degui said is nothing wrong."
If the Cavalry wanted to build Jingzhou, then they would not only send troops to Yidao. At least in Wuguan, the Guanzhong area would have to hoard troops, and then advance in water and land, and attack from north to south. Then since the Cavalry had no additional actions, it could be regarded as having no intention of attacking Jingzhou. Naturally, there would be no need to be particularly nervous, and even do not make too big moves, so as not to attract the attention of the Cavalry, suspected that the Cao army wanted to attack with the Jiangdong troops, which would cause more trouble. Therefore, although it seemed like a slow plan to make Cao Ren pay attention to the spring farming matter and was inconsistent with the Yidao, it was indeed a wonderful strategy.
On the one hand, Jingzhou used this action to express a relatively neutral attitude. Regardless of whether the Cavalry believed it or not, at least there was no large-scale military movement in Jingzhou. The main force of the Cao army did not leave the area around Xiangyang and Jingbei, and it was not so easy for the Cavalry to attack Jingzhou.
On the other hand, although Yidao is building a water camp, it is just a vanguard of the Sichuan and Shu part of the naval army. What if it is dispatched to win? Just like a light piece on Go, Sichuan and Shu only made a move. As a result, the Cao army in Jingzhou had to take four hands to raise it, and the cost was not equal. As a result, Cao army itself could not continue to stay in Yidao. After all, Yidao has nothing. If you want to stay in Yidao, you will have to further allocate food, grass and various materials. If you don’t stay in Yidao, then the Sichuan and Shu army will send some soldiers to come. Will the Cao army respond or not?
As for Jingnan, it’s all bad anyway. Except for Kuai’s family, who would care more?
"Since that's the case, how can the general say that Cai Degui is sloppy?" Cao Zhen asked.
Cao Ren smiled and said, "This Kuai Yidu claims to be the lord of Jiangling, so he does not want Jiangling to be affected by disaster... But Cai Degui, his family's land is in Jingbei..."
Cao Zhen suddenly realized and then said angrily: "The enemy is facing him, and he is actually intestinal! It's really hateful!"
Cao Ren waved his hand, "You can know this matter... You should be more careful in the place where Wuguan is Yongwan City... Send more people more people, and if there is any news, report it immediately!"
Cao Zhen took the order and took his leave, but Cao Ren was still sitting in the hall and pondered for a long time. For him, this discussion only solved a small part of the problem, and there was still a half of the doubts, like a thick fog, making Cao Ren unable to know what was hidden behind the fog...
When Cao Ren from Xiangyang was still full of doubts, Cao Cao in Xu County was also in a similar mood... Well, suspicion was rippling.
Hey, or the spring heart is rippling.
Sun Quan stated:
"I was ordered to be in the Han Dynasty, and the land was in Yang, and later spread to Jiangdong for many years. Because Xiliang was a disaster, Dong's evil was a disaster, and the imperial sect was unwilling to help the rebels, so I went to the school to inherit and protect the territory and gather in peace. Now the Prime Minister's Talk is in the desert, the land flows to China, and the Central Plains are conquered. The merits are great, so I admire him and want to return to the right rank, hoping to get the sun and the moon, and the punishment is very wide."
"I am now aware that Xian Yan is harming the thief of Fei, and wants to raise an army to relieve this irreconcilable hatred of the sky. I secretly remember that the Prime Minister is magnanimous and has the same friendship with Xian Yan. I beg the Prime Minister to be as polite as the earth and as the sky. On the day when the great hatred is repaid, they will be held back to the Prime Minister, which will be for the rest of his life and be blessed to protect his family. So that Xian Yan's spirit will no longer contain hatred and will be eliminated. My mother's house will still have some place to ask for peace."
"My minister is very careful to lead the civil and military officials in Jiangdong, and hereby submit a letter to surrender."
Although the words are not very gorgeous and there is a rhythm of Han Dynasty, for Cao Cao, these are not important. What is important is to figure out how sincere this is to give up, and how false it is?
Sun Quan delivered the surrender form without mentioning the emperor at all, which made Cao Cao very satisfied, but also made Cao Cao a little suspicious. After all, this was not a serious surrender form, nor was it delivered to the emperor, but it was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although this showed Sun Quan's importance to Cao Cao, he did not follow the formal process and was somewhat lacking.
But if he really left the Emperor Liu Xie's side, Cao Cao might not be happy. After all, if Sun Quan really surrendered, wouldn't he give Liu Xie such a big advantage in vain?
OK, let’s not talk about who to give it to. The key is whether Sun Quan’s demotion is true or false…
Those who have some understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms basically know the adjective of the thick black science written by Master Li. Cao Cao was shiny and Liu Bei was as thick as the city wall. Then the small power was neither as dark as Cao Cao nor as thick as Liu Bei, but he was both good, black and thick, so the world was three parts.
Liu Bei did not take surrender seriously, nor did he feel that it was embarrassing to rely on others. He lowered his head under the roof of others, without any ambiguity at all. Xiao Quan also had a lot of common words with Liu Bei on this point. Sun Quan not only deceived Cao Cao, but also deceived Cao Pi, and also deceived Cao Xiu. Not only did Sun Quan pretend to surrender alone, but his subordinates, from Huang Gai to Zhou Jue, and then Zhang Bu, took it as his responsibility to defraud him, and was honored to deceive him. He could knock on the ground with a bang in front of him, and immediately pulled out a knife behind him and stab him.
It’s a pity that Cao Cao doesn’t know these things right now...
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard, and looked around for a while, "What do you think this is true?"
Liu Ye took the lead and said: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister! If Jiangdong comes to surrender, the north and south will be connected together, the fertile land can be increased by a thousand miles, and the army can be increased by a million!"
Of course, millions of soldiers were a bit exaggerated, but at this time, no one would jump out to correct the exaggerated statements without opening their eyes, and they would congratulate Cao Cao one after another.
Cao Cao looked at Liu Ye deeply, then smiled and waved his hand and said, "If Sun's true intention is to surrender, it will be the emperor's blessings and blessings, and the kindness of the world will be the one who can only be used to carry an axe and axe... However, how true is this Sun's son who wants to enter Sichuan and Sichuan to avenge his father's grudge?
"Sun Wentai did die in Jingxiang..." Dong Zhao bowed and said, "I said before that Liu Jingsheng killed him, but later there were rumors that the cavalry set up an ambush and burned him to death... If Jiangdong now knows the reason and advances westward, it would be a great thing. However, I think the meaning of Jiangdong is mostly because I am afraid that I will be attacked on both sides. The above statement is to avoid danger in Jiangdong, and the other is to hope that I will receive the help of the lord."
Cao Cao nodded and nodded.
He could understand this. After all, did Cao Cao take advantage of his own father when he died? As for how angry or hatred he was, the moment he heard the news, Cao Cao also believed that Sun Quan would have some more or less, but after anger and hatred, he was more considering the overall situation.
Just like Jiangdong only now knows that it was Fei who killed Sun Jian?
Or maybe in the current chaos, after who killed whom, could Chengdu take revenge?
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, are there few people dead? If you really have to settle one by one, when will you calculate it?
Therefore, Cao Cao also felt that this was just an excuse for Sun Quan.
Cheng Yu said in a deep voice: "The benefits of Sun's war will outweigh the disadvantages."
Cheng Yu has always been a practical person, so he doesn't care whether Sun Quan is deceiving it. He thinks that Sun Quan can really send troops to Sichuan and Shu, at least it is better than making trouble in Jingnan and Jiangbei every day. This is a real benefit. There is no need to know whether Sun Quan is truly surrendering. It is just that Sun Quan really sends troops to attack Sichuan and Shu, and then he can take some of Fei Qian's steps.
Cao Cao nodded.
There is nothing wrong with this.
Now that Cao Cao faces increasing pressure in Guanzhong, he really hopes that someone can share some of his burdens. So he is so happy when he is surrendered by Sun Quan. After all, no one wants a naughty child to make trouble with him every day, but if that naughty child goes to Feiqian to make trouble, it will be fine.
"Wenruo, what do you think?" Cao Cao saw that Xun Yu had not spoken, so he turned around and asked.
Xun Yu was silent for a while, then slowly said: "You can conquer Sun Zhongmou's younger brother, Sun Shubi, to Xu County, and be appointed as the prefect of Qinghe."
