Cai Mao led his troops back and met Zhuge Liang on the way.
Although Cai Hao fought back aggressively, he finally chose to surrender.
In the face of the Cai family's family interests, Cai Mao could not and did not dare to fight Zhuge Liang. Unfortunately, Cai Mao did not submit to Liu Bei because he looked down on Liu Bei.
In the end, Cai Mao was sent back to Cai's house by Zhuge Liang and was taken into custody.
Zhuge Liang took control of the army, easily controlled the situation, and welcomed Liu Bei into the city.
The city gates were wide open, and Liu Bei entered the city wearing sackcloth and mourning to express his condolences to Liu Biao. Although he was cheering in his heart, his face showed a heavy and sad expression, as if he was really sad after Liu Biao passed away.
After the army entered the city, Liu Bei paid homage to Liu Biao and then officially ascended the throne.
There were still many officials in the hall, because most of them had taken refuge with Liu Bei and were unwilling to die with Liu Biao. However, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao and Liu Xian were missing in the hall.
After the court meeting, go to the side hall.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sat down. Liu Bei said worriedly: "Sir, we occupied Xiangyang and captured the city to the north of Xiangyang. However, Jiangxia Governor Huang Zu is not easy to deal with, as well as Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan and nephew Zhang Yun.
, these people are stationed outside and must be dealt with, why can you teach me, sir?"
Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "My lord, Liu Pan, Zhang Yun and others are all suffering from skin diseases, so there is nothing to worry about. Now that Cao Cao and Sun Jian are rushing to Jingzhou, this is the biggest danger. We need to use help
The forces of Cao and Sun have defeated the Shu army, but we have to let the two armies retreat to give the lord time to sweep all parts of Jingzhou. This is the top priority and the top priority."
Liu Bei nodded and agreed with Zhuge Liang.
The overall situation is like this. If Sun Jian and Cao Cao cannot retreat, it will be a bit difficult. In the main hall, the two of them were constantly discussing the next arrangements.
…
The Wu army's camp and the Chinese army's tent.
Sun Jian sat on the main seat, and below him sat Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Jin, Lu Su, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others. Sun Jian said loudly: "The sentry in front sent back news that Liu Biao and his son are dead, and Liu Bei has entered
Lord Xiangyang, occupied Jingzhou. Now that Chu no longer exists, the situation in Jingzhou has changed drastically, what should we do?"
Sun Jian spoke with full force and loud voice, making him appear mighty and domineering.
Sitting in the big tent, he had a grand and domineering aura.
This was not only the momentum that Sun Jian developed on the battlefield, but also the demeanor of a king that Sun Jian gradually developed after holding high positions for many years. Every move he made was full of momentum.
The civil and military officials below browsed the news sent back. Cheng Pu took the lead and said: "My lord, this Liu Bei is really a tyrant. He lost Yangzhou and Yuzhou not long ago, and now he has taken Jingzhou from Liu Biao. The humble official believed that Liu Biao's death was because of Liu Bei.
Not Wang Can, this person is ruthless and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."
Huang Gai snorted: "Isn't it just to seize Liu Biao's Xiangyang? What's so powerful? If Liu Bei occupies Xiangyang, will the other feudal officials obey Liu Bei? I think Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, will not obey Liu Bei first.
Maybe they will be able to stand on their own? And there are many other county magistrates and governors who are far away from Xiangyang and may not be willing to obey Liu Bei. These are beyond Liu Bei's reach, and Liu Bei doesn't have enough time to conquer them."
Sun Jian nodded and said: "You are right, but Liu Bei is a great man of his generation and cannot be ignored. However, with Liu Biao's death, our covenant with Liu Biao will be invalidated. Gong Jin, what do you think?"
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Lord, the purpose of our sending troops is to carve up the territory of Chu State and capture the southern territory of Chu State. Now Liu Biao has been killed, Liu Bei has captured Xiangyang, and Chu State no longer exists. Such a chaotic situation is best.
. Taking this opportunity, we took the opportunity to attack Jiangxia, forcing Huang Zu to surrender, and then gradually moved northward, encroaching on Jingzhou's territory bit by bit. By then, we would occupy the north and south banks of the Yangtze River and cut off the river mouth, which would be of great benefit to the navy.
.”
Zhuge Jin said: "Gong Jin, if my lord doesn't rescue Liu Bei, won't Wang Can take Xiangyang?"
Lu Su said: "Liu Bei's occupation of the fortified city can hold him back for a while."
Zhou Yu agreed and said: "Zijing's words are reasonable. We don't need to care about the gains and losses of a city or a place in the north of Chu State. This is not something we can consider. Our country of Wu is backed by the Yangtze River. As long as we capture Jiangxia, we can occupy both sides of the Yangtze River.
, this is the foundation of our Wu Kingdom. Hehe, as for Liu Bei, with Cao Cao helping him, why do we care about doing this?"
Zhou Yu chuckled, with a thief expression on his face. Liu Bei defended Xiangyang and fought with Wang Can, and he would definitely be able to last for a long time. This is what Zhou Yu hopes to see.
Two dogs fight, play off.
Sun Jian touched his palm and said, "Okay, let's go back and capture Jiangxia County first."
…
Cao's army camp and the Chinese army's tent.
This time Cao Cao sent troops, Chen Qun and Liu Ye accompanied them, and Sima Lang also appeared in Cao Cao's army. After the news of Xiangyang came out, Cao Cao immediately summoned Chen Qun, Liu Ye and Sima Lang, and also sent Li Dian, Yu Jin and others
People came to discuss matters.
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Liu Bei captured Xiangyang to establish himself, and designed to kill Liu Biao and his son. This man is too cruel. Liu Biao died unjustly. I am ready to avenge Liu Biao and attack Liu Bei." When he spoke, his black hair
His bright eyes looked extremely lively, and his face showed an intriguing expression.
Because of what Cao Cao said, the civil and military officials below felt strange.
What does it mean when Cao Cao avenges Liu Biao?
Cao Cao has always looked down upon Liu Biao, so how could he possibly avenge him by sending troops?
After hearing this, Liu Ye rolled his eyes and understood what Cao Cao meant. This was obviously under the banner of revenge for Liu Biao, taking the opportunity to seize Liu Biao's original territory and carve up Jingzhou.
Liu Ye cupped his hands and said: "My lord, since you want to avenge Liu Biao, it seems that you have to take over Liu Biao's area. I think you should order the governor of Runan to send troops to take down Yiyang, Zaoyang, Pingchun and other places close to Runan."
.The army is gradually moving south to capture the territory north of Jingzhou. Only in this way can we accumulate strength and avenge Liu Biao."
"Okay, Ziyang understands my heart very well. He is reasonable and what he said makes sense."
Cao Cao laughed and glanced at Liu Ye appreciatively.
His purpose was to recruit Liu Biao's old troops under the banner of Liu Biao, and then take over the area north of Jingzhou, thus carving up Jingzhou.
Liu Biao was gone, and Cao Cao had nothing to care about.
If Liu Biao was alive, Cao Cao would still have to take Liu Biao's strength into consideration. But once Liu Biao died, all officials would be leaderless, and Chu would be in chaos, unable to gather strength, so Cao Cao could carry out raids unscrupulously.
…
Hero Building, in the backyard.
Wang Can sat cross-legged, with Shi A, Wu Huang, Dian Wei and others sitting below him.
After the city gate of Xiangyang was opened, Wang Can and his party all dispersed and sneaked into the city in batches. Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, and Cai Mao were all detained, while Liu Bei was busy recruiting talents and dealing with the legacy of Xiangyang.
There was no time to deal with Wang Can, so Wang Can and his party easily sneaked into the city.
Wang Can asked; "What is the situation of Wu Huang, Ma family, Xi family and Xiang family?"
Wang Can sneaked into Xiangyang, accompanied by only dozens of soldiers from the Langya Camp and some swordsmen trained by the Hero Building. The rest were the connections of the Hero Building. However, these powers were not enough for Wang Can to overthrow Liu Bei, and it was difficult for Wang Can to overthrow Liu Bei.
Kill Liu Bei. Therefore, Wang Can must rely on the power of the Ma family, the Xiang family, and the Xi family, and then win over the other families, in order to succeed.
For now, the situation of these three companies is crucial.
Wu Huang said; "My lord, these three major families, like the Kuai family and the Cai family, have not defected to Liu Bei and continue to maintain a neutral posture. However, they have secretly accumulated strength and have attracted many small families. Their power cannot be ignored. If they are united together,
Together, they are comparable to a big family like the Kuai family."
Wang Can nodded and said: "With the power of the three major families, we can move around the city with ease, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward. Next, I plan to meet with Cai Mao for a while to convince him. Only with Cai Mao can we leverage Liu Biao's power.
Soldier, with the help of this force, you can handle this matter."
"promise!"
Wu Huang replied and nodded in agreement.
Ps: The fifth update is completed. Finally, the five-day outbreak is over. I am so tired that I can finally rest. Starting from tomorrow, I will resume the third update and prepare for the Chinese New Year. Thank you for your support. Thank you.
