Chapter 937: An excuse to use troops against Jingzhou
When Wang Can heard that Cai Mao had rescued Liu Bei, he was very angry.
He and Cai Mao had reached an agreement, but Cai Mao ostensibly agreed, but now he suddenly came out to rescue Liu Bei, betrayed his promise, and was obviously preparing to go to war with Wang Can.
The original alliance between Jingzhou and Yizhou has broken down.
Guo Jia saw Wang Can getting angry, but with a faint smile on his face, he said unhurriedly: "My lord, I think that Liu Bei being rescued by Cai Hao is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing."
Wang Can asked: "Fengxiao, what do you think?"
Guo Jia explained: "Yizhou and Jingzhou are bordering each other, and Jingzhou, as the gateway to the east of Yizhou, is very important. Once the lord is ready to use troops against the Central Plains, he must capture Jingzhou. Sooner or later, there will be a battle between us and Jingzhou.
There is a war, and now Cai Mao takes the initiative to rescue Liu Bei, violating the agreement reached by both parties, and regardless of the alliance between Jingzhou and Yizhou, which just gives the lord an excuse to attack Jingzhou, so I think it is a good thing."
Lu Meng smiled and said: "In this way, it is really a good thing!"
Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's true!"
Dian Wei looked like he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and shouted loudly: "My lord, Fengxiao has said so, let's attack Jingzhou! Give your order, we will kill Liu Biao, and then kill Liu Bei and seize it."
Jingzhou."
Wang Can shook his head and said: "There is no rush now, we have to finish the problem in Nanyang County."
Lu Meng thought for a moment and then asked: "My lord, after we defeated Liu Bei, should we take advantage of the situation to attack Runan?"
Wang Can still shook his head and said: "Runan is Liu Bei's home base. It has strong military strength and the support of the people, so it is not easy to attack. Besides, when Liu Bei returns to Runan with the remaining defeated generals, he can immediately recruit soldiers to resist, so it is difficult to win.
Let’s stabilize the situation in Nanyang County first, work steadily and slowly, and expand outward slowly. We can’t be in a hurry.”
Guo Jia nodded in agreement and said solemnly: "My lord, what you said makes sense. Our current problem is not Runan, but Jingzhou. Runan, the place where the Fourth War was fought, connects Luoyang and Yanzhou to the north, and borders Jingzhou to the south.
It's the enemy. If we capture Runan, the front line will be too long and the pressure we will bear will be too great, so the current strategy is to capture Jingzhou first, and then deal with other issues after the matter in Jingzhou is resolved."
After listening to Guo Jia's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.
Wang Can is based in Yizhou and radiates in all directions.
Jingzhou and Nanyang are areas close to Yizhou, which Wang Can must solve. However, Yuzhou Runan and Yangzhou Shouchun cross from east to west, cutting off north-south traffic. Both the north and south of these two places are enemies.
, even if Wang Can wins Yangzhou and Yuzhou, he will be under tremendous pressure and may not be able to bear it.
The current plan is to stabilize Nanyang County.
Zhou Cang suddenly asked: "Lord, Cai Mao attacks us, what should we do with the Chu soldiers in the camp?"
Wang Can raised his eyebrows, stood up immediately, and said loudly: "Zhou Cang, if you didn't talk about the Chu soldiers, I almost forgot. Although I said Cai Mao would kill them if he violated the agreement, that was just to scare the Chu soldiers.
That's it, it's impossible to kill so many people. You immediately summon all the Chu soldiers and take them to the school grounds inside the city. I have something to say to them."
"promise!"
Zhou Cang answered with cupped fists, then turned and left.
After Zhou Cang left the hall, Wang Can ordered: "Let's go to the school grounds immediately!"
A group of people left the Sheriff's Mansion and ran towards the school grounds.
Guo Jia followed Wang Can and said loudly: "My lord, when you call all the Chu soldiers this time, do you plan to put all the Chu soldiers back?"
Wang Can said: "It's useless for the soldiers of the Chu army to stay, but they can be of some use if they are put back."
Guo Jia glanced at Wang Can thoughtfully, then smiled brightly.
In the school grounds, Wang Can stood on a temporary high platform.
He stood with his hands behind his hands, his expression serious, and he looked at the soldiers who were gradually gathering. There was no smile on his face. This situation made the Chu soldiers feel bad.
Wang Can coughed lightly and shouted loudly: "Soldiers of the Chu army, I have bad news for you today. Your commander Cai Mao rushed to Wancheng with his army, fought with our army, and finally robbed
Liu Bei and Cai Mao openly tore up the agreement. Do you know what this means? It means that your commander Cai Mao gave up your lives and asked you to die!"
After the words fell, the Chu army was in an uproar.
The soldiers of the Chu army all knew about the agreement between Wang Can and Cai Mao, and they knew clearly that they were the hostages left by Cai Mao when he retreated. If Cai Mao invaded, Wang Can would definitely kill them.
Now that Cai Mao is really here, doesn't it mean that Wang Can is going to wield the butcher's knife?
For a time, the Chu soldiers were uneasy.
Wang Can glanced at the Chu soldiers below and continued to yell: "My king and Liu Biao have become allies and support each other. This is something that the people of Jingzhou know. But Liu Biao tore up the alliance and sent soldiers to attack my king.
Now Cai Mao is even more concerned about your lives and sending troops brazenly. Does he think this king is easy to bully?"
"kill!"
Suddenly, Dian Wei pulled out his iron halberd and roared loudly.
"Kill! Kill!..."
Immediately afterwards, the Shu soldiers in the school grounds also roared as loud as they could.
Thunder-like roars rang out one after another in the school grounds, causing all the Chu soldiers to change their expressions. Some Chu soldiers even clenched their fists, ready to fight desperately.
If Wang Can really wants to kill everyone with his sword, they will definitely resist desperately.
No one wants to be killed!
At this time, Wang Can raised his hand and pressed it down slightly, and the school grounds suddenly became quiet.
Just listen to Wang Can continue to shout: "Soldiers of the Chu Army, I know that you are innocent. You just acted according to orders without any mistakes. Don't worry, I will not kill any Chu Army soldiers. But I told you
I also ask you to tell each other something when you return to Jingzhou. From today on, Shu and Chu are no longer allies, and Shu and Chu are not at odds with each other."
What he said was very resounding.
However, the Chu soldiers in the school grounds breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Can waved his hand and shouted: "Open the school grounds, give dry food to the Chu soldiers, and let them leave."
After Wang Can finished speaking, some of the Chu soldiers who had some knowledge became nervous. Because Shu and Chu were not at odds with each other, which meant that Shu and Chu were no longer allies, and a war was likely to begin.
After they returned to Jingzhou, life was probably not going to be easy either.
But surviving is always the best.
Wang Can walked down the high platform and ordered his soldiers to let the Chu soldiers leave. After receiving enough dry food, these Chu soldiers quickly left the school grounds and left Wancheng. In this way, although Wang Can was not caught
Liu Bei, however, took this opportunity to draw a clear line with Liu Biao and had a reason to attack Jingzhou.
…
After Liu Bei fled Wancheng, although he was chased by Lu Meng, he was eventually rescued by Cai Mao.
He cupped his fists and said, "General Cai, thank you very much."
Cai Hao shook his head and said: "Mao is just following orders, and the King of Han does not have to do this." Although he said this, the expression on Cai Hao's face was very solemn. Because he tore up the agreement with Wang Can and did not consider the fate of nearly 10,000 Chu soldiers.
Life, this makes Cai Mao unhappy no matter what.
He is an enemy of Wang Can. I wonder what is the situation of the Chu soldiers in the Shu camp?
If it weren't for Liu Biao's insistence, Cai Mao would definitely not be willing to send troops.
Immediately, Cai Hao asked again: "King Han, Wancheng is defeated, what are your plans next?"
Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "I will wait for the news of my third brother first, then send people to find out the news of Chen Gong and others, and then prepare to lead the troops back to Runan to accumulate strength and prepare for revenge."
Cai Mao didn't want to get along with Liu Bei, so he immediately said: "In that case, Mao takes leave."
Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "Please!"
Cai Mao didn't say much and left directly with the soldiers. As soon as Cai Mao saw Liu Bei's face, he immediately thought of the nearly 10,000 Chu soldiers in Wang Can's camp and felt very uncomfortable.
After Liu Bei watched Cai Mao leave, he also left with a few white soldiers and sent soldiers to find out the news.
One day later, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei met.
But Liu Bei also learned about Chen Gong, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang and knew that they had been caught.
After Liu Bei got the news, he was stunned for a long time. However, Liu Bei had no way to rescue the three people, so he could only gather the Han soldiers who had escaped from Wancheng and return to Runan.
The hatred between him and Wang Can can only be settled later.
