Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 31: The Battle of Jiangbei (7) Cai Lin tried to lure Cao Shuang into taking the bait?
Chapter 31: The Battle of Jiangbei (7) Cai Lin tried to lure Cao Shuang into taking the bait?
Cai Lin held up his hands and said with tears: "General, my lord has been criticized by Sun Quan recently. He was implicated in the loss of 30,000 troops by Zhu Ji's son. My lord was dismissed from the rank of general.
With a hundred sticks, he would not be able to get out of bed and walk normally in a few months. However, he still wrote two letters to the general and Wang Sikong.
My lord has always been loyal to Sun Quan, helping him conquer the mountains for three years, stabilizing the rear, and assisting the prince. However, Sun Quan actually humiliated my lord for the fault of a child.
Without any regard for the achievements of the past and the love between monarch and minister, I have beaten my lord to death and demoted him to the position of governor of Nanjun. It is really unbearable.
This is intolerable. I feel that it is not worth it for my master to work for such an unkind and unjust person!
Fortunately, my lord is a man of great wisdom. On his way to Jingzhou, while sailing on the Changjiang River, he looked at the setting sun.
Finally, he came to his senses and felt that serving Sun Quan was not worth it, so he endured the pain and got up and wrote these letters angrily.
Let the villain and Ding Fengshuo meet with the generals, Wang Sikong, and Xiangyang Governor Hu Lie to express to the generals their sincerity in surrendering to the Wei State, and are willing to lead the 30,000 Nanjun garrison to surrender to the Wei State.
I hope General Wang Sikong can accept my lord’s surrender to Wei! Since Sun Quan is unkind, don’t blame my lord for being unjust!”
Wang Ling said with emotion: "I never thought that General Yuan Xun, who had overwhelming power in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, would be dismissed from the post of general because of his defeat.
Demoted to the land of Jingzhou far away from Jianye, the Lord of Wu is old and dim. He does not know people well and cannot distinguish between loyal and treacherous people. This is a good opportunity for the Wei Dynasty to destroy Soochow!"
Cai Lin saw that although Wei Sikong and Wang Ling were moved by such a great achievement, Cao Shuang sat on the main seat with an indifferent expression, started to pick up the teapot next to him, and started to pour himself a drink.
Then he added another fire and hurriedly raised the fire to persuade: "Please also ask the general, Wang Si Kong, to make a quick decision and send a large army to meet my lord. If it is too late, my lord's life may not be saved, and the Wei Dynasty will destroy Soochow."
Good opportunities will be fleeting,
Even if my protagonist's life and death have nothing to do with the two generals, he can live or die, but if the Wei Dynasty destroys Wu, it will look for good opportunities again. If you wait for several years, or even decades, you may not be able to wait until today.
Such a great opportunity!"
At this time, Wang Ling was impatient to accomplish this great feat of destroying the country that would go down in history. Seeing that Cao Shuang was still unmoved and still sipping the tea in the cup, he hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhao! General Yuan Xun is here.
So sincere,
I'll just go and pick him up and surrender to the Wei Dynasty. In this way, the Wei Dynasty will have one more general who can be both civil and military, and we can get the land of Nanjun and one county without any effort.
He obtained 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the people of Nanjun. In addition, Yuan Xun was a general of Soochow before, and his father Zhuge Jin was also a general of Soochow during his lifetime. He had many disciples and former officials under his command.
Nowadays, most of them are governors and generals from the counties in Jiangdong. With the help of General Gongxun, our Wei Dynasty will be better than us with an army of 200,000!"
Cai Lin also echoed: "General, what Wang Sikong said is absolutely true. My lord has many connections in Jiangdong.
After two generations of hard work by my lord and his father, we have a deep foundation in Jiangdong. As long as my lord holds high the flag of righteousness, all the counties in Jiangdong will be able to capture him!"
Cao Shuang had just finished a cup of tea at this moment, put down the tea cup, and said with a calm smile: "General Cai, since your lord has such a solid reputation in Jiangdong, why not directly rebel against that unkind and unjust Biyan'er?
/p>
Hold high the banner of righteousness and establish your own branch. With the great talent of your lord, and having generals like Cai and Ding under his command, you can not be restrained by others, and be happy to be a free overlord in the land of Jingzhou!"<
/p>
Cai Lin looked sad again and said: "To be honest, General, my lord also had the intention to establish his own family before, but then he thought about it carefully and found that the world is now divided into three parts.
It is no longer like the situation in the late Han Dynasty where the world was divided by dozens of heroes. If my lord proclaims himself king again, then Wei, Shu, and Wu in this world will not tolerate my lord.
At that time, my lord will have no place in this world, so my lord gave up on this idea. After thinking about it,
I just felt that the Wei side was the strongest in the world. It happened that the general sent troops to Jiangbei, so he personally wrote a letter and asked the villain to send it directly to the general. Wang Sikong, since he was a surrendered general,
If you have no merit, how can you safely stand in the Wei court in the future? First, you can make a great contribution to Wei to destroy the country, and how can my lord gain a foothold in the Wei temple in the future!"
Wang Ling stroked his beard and said with a smile: "General Gongxun knows the current affairs of the generals and is a hero. He is truly a true hero of Jiangdong! General, please allow Gongxun to surrender to Wei. General Gongxun's surrender to Wei will be of no benefit to us, the Wei Dynasty."
One harm will cause endless harm to Soochow!"
Cao Shuang drank another cup of tea and said with a smile: "Since General Gongxun has such an insight into the general trend of the world, doesn't he know that surrendering to Shu will be more beneficial than surrendering to Wei?"
Before Cai Lin could speak and continue to add fuel to the fire, Wang Ling hurriedly asked curiously: "Uncle Zhao, I wonder how General Gongxun who surrendered to the arrogant Shu Han could do more to strengthen Wei Deli than surrendering to my troops and powerful horses?"
Cao Shuang smiled and said: "Does Wang Sikong not know that Prime Minister Zhuge of the former Shu Han Dynasty was the uncle of General Gongxun, and General Gongxun's father Zhuge Jin was Prime Minister Zhuge's eldest brother?
The empress of the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Liuchan, could even worship rebellious ministers and traitors like Sima Yi as Taifu, let alone General Gongxun.
With such a relative, if he goes to Shu Han, wouldn't he be more favored by Liu Adou than if he went to Wei Dynasty? It is impossible for the latter to see Prime Minister Zhuge as the uncle of General Gongxun and let him inherit his uncle's great cause, and make him Prime Minister of Shu Han.
You know!"
Cai Lin's face turned red and he said: "Why is the general so malicious in speculating on my lord's sincere heart to vote for Wei? If my lord is not allowed to vote for Wei,"
With my lord’s talent and talents, there is no place for me to stay here. My lord follows the general’s advice and surrenders to the Shu Han! This will leave the Shu Han to do the great work of destroying the country!”
After Cai Lin said that, he pretended to leave. Cai Lin acted like this, and Cao Shuang knew in his heart that this person must be playing hard to get, and it is impossible to say that Soochow is repeating its old tricks, the tactic of suffering, and the plan of false surrender.
If one person jumps in, the whole army will be annihilated.
Wang Ling said eagerly: "Uncle Zhao! Don't hesitate any longer, this opportunity cannot be missed!"
Cao Shuang thought that he might as well use his plan and see who would win in the decisive battle in Jiangbei!
Cao Shuang hurriedly smiled and said: "General Cai, please stay. I have offended you a lot just now. But if you don't test it like this, how can you know the sincerity of General Gongxun? Since General Gongxun is so sincere, your lord please surrender."
, I, Da Wei, am sure!"
Wang Ling breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Cao Shuang would make another mistake and give such great achievements to the Shu Han.
When Ding Feng went to Hu Lie in Xiangyang to "please surrender", it was extremely smooth. Ding Feng spoke with great emotion and personally entrusted Zhuge Ke's request for surrender. After Hu Lie read it, he immediately agreed to Zhuge Ke's request.
