Chapter 1,221 Do the opposite
After hearing what Xu Fu said was so dangerous, Cai Hao immediately became anxious and asked Xu Fu what to do next.
"Actually, all this is just Huang Wan's wishful thinking. Even if he can really stop Master Dong Zhao and wants to fight His Majesty, when the time comes we will take advantage of the situation and turn against him, and we will definitely be able to help His Majesty turn defeat into victory."
Xu Fu looked at the anxious Cai Hao, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. In his opinion, if Huang Wan and the others wanted to steal the chicken, they might not be able to steal it, and the most likely thing would be to steal the chicken without losing the rice.
"Should we do nothing now?"
Now Cai Mao also understood what Xu Fu meant, but did he really do nothing now?
"Of course we have to do it. Now send someone to leave at night and go to Zhonglu to report to Lord Dong Zhao and ask him to be careful.
If possible, send troops to advance forward first, occupy favorable terrain, and then counter-snipe. Although this is a bit impossible, it is not without hope.
Even if they can't defeat Xiang Lang, let them change their route around Yingjian Mountain in advance and try to arrive when His Majesty has a decisive battle with Huang Wan.
Then cooperate with us to sneak attack on the enemy's rear team. In this case, General Zang Ba of Nanjun may not be needed, and Huang Wan and the others will collapse immediately.
In addition, we sent someone to inform His Majesty, asking him to make preparations in advance so as not to suffer Huang Wan's losses."
Xu Fu glanced at Cai Mao. Naturally, they couldn't do nothing now. The only thing they could do now was to send someone to hurry up and notify Dong Zhao and Yuan Shu, asking them to make preparations in advance.
"Well, I'll arrange for someone to report the news right now."
Now that Xu Fu had already thought about it, Cai Hao had nothing to say and got up directly to arrange for his personal guards to report to both sides while they were patrolling outside.
Now is not the past. Although there are many soldiers and informants here, the soldiers and horses are mixed, and there are even private fights between the parties. This means that missing a few people here is not a problem at all.
Two groups of messengers, one heading east and the other heading west, each rushed to their destination.
Xiang Lang led 20,000 soldiers all the way to the west. Although he also wanted to advance as fast as possible, the speed of 10,000 soldiers could not be increased at all. He could only run towards Yingjian Mountain like herding sheep.
Fortunately, this place is not far from Xiangyang. Even at their speed, they can definitely get there in three days, and the layout can definitely be completed before they arrive.
The scouts who set out from Xiangyang rushed day and night, and in two days and one night they met Dong Zhao and Wang Lang's troops.
But unfortunately, they were immediately pinned down by Dong Zhao's scouts who were wandering outside. After some friction, no one among the three was spared. They were all unarmed and tied up.
"We are the personal guards of Governor Cai Mao. We have something important to report to Dong Zhao and Lord Wang Lang."
When they heard that the other party was Cai Mao's personal guard, the scouts became even more embarrassed, and just gave them a slap in the face. They were all Chinese soldiers, and they hated the rebels the most, and Cai Mao's people were the most hated among them. hatred.
"Okay, stop fighting and take them to see the adults. If something happens, we can't afford it."
After punishing the other party, the commander in charge of the scout stopped them in time, and then escorted the three prisoners to reply to Dong Zhao and the others.
"My lord, we have captured three prisoners. They claim to be Cai Mao's personal guards and they want to see something important."
Dong Zhao was also stunned when he heard what the village chief said.
"Whose person?
Cai Mao’s personal guard?”
Dong Zhao glanced at the village chief and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, they claim to be Cai Mao's personal guards."
The village chief nodded firmly to Dong Zhao.
"Brother Jingxing, what do you think?"
Dong Zhao glanced at Wang Lang and asked him what to do.
"Brother Gongren, from my point of view, let's take a look. If Cai Mao comes to surrender, it will also be a direction for us to dismantle the puppets. After all, he has 50,000 elite naval forces in his hands, all of which belong to China.
It would be a bit bad to lose the elite."
Wang Lang smiled slightly and spoke to Dong Zhao.
"Okay, let's meet."
Dong Zhao nodded to Wang Lang, and then ordered the soldiers to bring Cai Mao's personal guards over for a meeting.
Soon Cai Mao's three personal guards were thrown directly into Dong Zhao's tent.
"Go down."
Dong Zhao waved to the soldiers.
Soon there were only three Cai Mao guards and Dong Zhao and Wang Lang left in the big tent.
"Tell me, why did Cai Mao ask you to come here? Are you trying to change your mind and prepare to surrender?"
Dong Zhao looked at the blood-covered prisoner with a trace of teasing in his eyes.
"Two adults, it is not up to us soldiers to decide whether to surrender or not. We are here just to help Governor Cai Mao pass a message to you.
Huang Wan has sent Xiang Lang to send 20,000 troops to ambush Yingjian Mountain, and it is very likely that he will choose to burn the mountain directly in order to prevent you from supporting His Majesty in the Battle of Xiangyang.
So what my commander-in-chief means is that if it is possible to send people to Yingjian Mountain in advance to counter-snipe Xiang Lang, if it is not possible, he will bypass Yingjian Mountain in advance.
It is a big deal to support His Majesty, and I hope you will accept it."
The guards looked at the two adults in front of them and directly told them what Cai Hao had told them.
"I understand, please take the person under custody."
Wang Lang frowned and directly arranged for people to take the three captive guards down.
"Mirong Ren, what do you think?"
After the guards left, Wang Lang looked directly at Dong Zhao beside him.
"Why can't I see the current situation clearly?
Who is this Cai Mao?"
Dong Zhao shook his head. He couldn't understand. This information was very important. If what Cai Hao said was true, then if he didn't check it, he would probably be ambushed by Xiang Lang. Even if he wasn't ambushed, he would be burned.
stop,
Now Yuan Shu has gone south. If he cannot arrive, he may put Yuan Shu in danger.
"I don't know which side Cai Mao belongs to, but from the current point of view, he should be loyal to China, and his information is indeed the best choice Xiangyang can make now. Send a small group of troops to
Yingjian Mountain sniped at us, and then sent the main force to fight His Majesty."
Wang Lang shook his head slightly. Given the current situation, the news brought by Cai Mao really had to be taken seriously by them.
"Aren't you afraid that this is the enemy's plan?
Yingjian Mountain is the only way for us to pass through. If the enemy does not send troops to ambush here, but we have to bypass Yingjian Mountain, it will definitely slow down our return with His Majesty."
Although what Wang Lang said made sense, it would not take a day or two to get around Yingjian Mountain. This would still delay their round with Yuan Shu.
"So now is the time for us to make a decision. Either we can forcefully pass through Yingjian Mountain, or we must send people to kill it first and try to occupy it in front of Xiang Lang.
Or we can make a decisive decision and bypass Yingjian Mountain. Although it will take a little time, the most important thing is safety."
Wang Lang naturally knew this situation and directly laid out the current situation for Dong Zhao to judge.
"Do you think we have a chance to get ahead of Xiang Lang and the others?"
Dong Zhao also looked at Wang Lang. To be honest, he still preferred the first option, but he was afraid that if the information was true and he couldn't get ahead of the other party, then he would be in trouble.
"I find it difficult. We are not close to Xiangyang, and Yingjian Mountain is close to Xiangyang. Even if we travel day and night, we may not be able to catch up with each other's progress.
So I think it’s better to go around Yingjian Mountain. I believe that as long as we travel day and night, we won’t delay the round with His Majesty.”
Wang Lang shook his head slightly. It was simply impossible to reach Yingjian Mountain before Cai Mao's people. In the spirit of trusting the truth rather than trusting the truth, he decided to take a detour.
"Then let's do this. Let's go around Yingjian Mountain day and night to meet with His Majesty."
Dong Zhao also heard what Wang Lang meant. Although he clearly meant it as a suggestion, he actually had already made a decision in his heart.
"Well, that's exactly what it should be."
Wang Lang nodded, this was exactly what he thought.
"Then after we bypassed Yingjian Mountain, we just let Xiang Lang's 20,000 people go?"
Although he had decided to bypass Yingjian Mountain, he did not want to let go of Xiang Lang's 20,000 troops. After all, these were rebels. If the hypocrites in Xiangyang were destroyed, they would probably flee directly. After all, they would be an unstable factor.
"Haha, let them go?
Of course it's impossible. When we get around Yingjian Mountain, we'll send a troop of troops to snipe in the opposite direction. Don't they want to set the mountain on fire?
Then let’s help them set a fire and burn them to their knees.”
