Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the Yangtze River east of Wulin Port, Sun Quan's fleet was slowly sailing towards Wulin.  After Sun Quan retreated to Chaisang, he has been paying attention to the changes in Jingzhou. Originally, Sun Quan had sent Liu Biao a petition to unite against Cao Cao, but strangely, Liu Biao never responded.  In fact, Liu Biao had already received Sun Quan¡¯s letter, but Liu Biao knew Sun Quan¡¯s plan very well.  Their time is running out. Liu Qi and Liu Cong are not the opponents of Sun Quan and Cao Cao in any aspect. They may be able to defeat Cao Cao temporarily by uniting with Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao, but after Cao Cao is defeated, Jingzhou will probably belong to Sun Quan.  For the sake of the people of Jingzhou, Liu Biao ultimately did not agree to Sun Quan's alliance strategy.  Kuai Yue and Cai Mao were very clear about Liu Biao's plans, but Sun Quan didn't. After hearing about the changes in Xiangyang City in Jingzhou, Sun Quan quickly raised troops and rushed to Wulin Port.  If you want to fish in troubled waters, take the opportunity to get some benefits.  "Lord!" Lu Su walked onto the deck of Sun Quan's battleship.  "Zijing? Why did you come out?" "My lord, please think twice about going to Wulin." Lu Su had been very worried since Sun Quan decided to go to Wulin.  Lu Su could see what the people in Jingzhou wanted. Jingzhou was the only comfortable state and county in the Han Dynasty after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It had not experienced any wars. The attitude of the aristocratic families was to defend the country. Cao Cao's army went south, and the pacification of Jingzhou was just around the corner. Sun Quan  There is really no need to wade into muddy waters.  "Zijing also thinks that this general is wrong? Does it mean that this general, who has more than 100,000 armored men, must submit to a governor?" Sun Quan looked at Lu Su angrily. He sent troops to Jingzhou not just to gain benefits.  , and there is also his own plan to control military and political power.  "My lord?" Lu Su glanced at Sun Quan and couldn't go on. The conflict between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu was getting bigger and bigger.  They didn't dare to show off openly, but they fought fiercely secretly.  This time Sun Quan insisted on leading troops to Jingzhou just to vent his anger with Zhou Yu.  The two people's beliefs collided for the first time.  "Zijing, is Bo Fu's foundation going to be destroyed in Zhongmou's hands?" Before leaving, Lu Su went to meet Zhou Yu.  Zhou Yu's words made Lu Su feel helpless.  Sun Jian became Marquis of Wucheng from a commoner. He made many meritorious deeds for the Han Dynasty and deserved the title. But on the other hand, it was also the Han Dynasty's kindness to the Sun family.  Without Han, there would be no Sun family.  Sun Ce and Zhou Yu inherited Sun Jian's loyalty to the Han Dynasty.  He is dedicated to helping the Han Dynasty and has no second thoughts.  But the situation has changed. Cao Cao, who only wanted to be a general in the northern expedition, now controls the government and wants to replace him.  The traitor in troubled times and the capable minister in governing the world are the true portrayal of the heroes created by the times.  Sun Quan is different from Sun Ce. Sun Quan is an ambitious person.  It was also because of this ambition that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu became farther and farther apart.  Sun Quan wanted to dominate a country and be the founding king.  Zhou Yu wanted to help the Han Dynasty and become a famous official through the ages.  The conflict between the two beliefs made the Sun Group even worse.  "Gong Jin, we don't agree with each other. I'm just repaying the favor of the Sun family." In the end, Lu Su could only answer Zhou Yu with a helpless word, and the Sun family's defeat may have been decided.  But as a minister, I can only do my best to be loyal.  "Report! My lord, the vanguard in the front is fighting with the Jingzhou navy." Just when Lu Su was distracted, the spies from the vanguard came to report that the Jingzhou navy suddenly attacked Sun's vanguard, and many soldiers fell into the water and died.  "What? Didn't you make it clear that we are Chai Sang's army? Are we here to rescue Jingzhou?" Sun Quan was shocked when he heard the spies' report. What happened to the Jingzhou Navy? The Jingzhou Navy took action before he could identify himself.  .  "Lord We have already expressed our intention to come. But the Jingzhou navy still attacked our army fiercely. They also said" "What did you say?" "Cao Jun is a wolf.  Sun Quan's army is like a tiger, and a pack of wolves goes south to devour the tiger. Those who know the current situation are heroes!" The soldiers told Sun Quan what the Jingzhou army had said.  Sun Quan's expression changed, and he knew in his heart that Jingzhou Cai Mao was going to fight to the death with him.  Cao Jun is a wolf, but Cai Mao would rather surrender to Cao Cao than join forces with Sun Quan.  A pack of wolves devouring tigers?  It seems that Cai Mao also regarded himself as a hungry wolf, trying to devour the tiger Sun Quan.  Sun Quan¡¯s face was as pale as pig liver. He didn¡¯t expect Cai Mao to be like this. He didn¡¯t even say a word to him before he called him.  Cai Mao ordered people to attack Sun Quan's navy. Firstly, it was an obvious hint to Cao Cao. Secondly, it was a secret in Cai Hao's heart. Liu Biao wanted to use Sun Jian to contain Cai Hao, but Cai Hao secretly instigated the relationship between Liu Biao and Sun Jian. In the end,  As a result, Sun Jian died in Jingzhou. How could Cai Mao surrender to Sun Quan?  "My lord, the vanguard of our army is defeated. It seems that the Jingzhou navy has been prepared for a long time. Cai Mao has always had a grudge against our army. It is best to give up on persuading us to surrender this time." Lu Su is not a fool.It turns out that Sun Jian's death is related to Jingzhou Cai Mao, but this issue cannot be clarified. Even Sun Quan may have guessed the clues. For the sake of the overall situation, he can only tolerate it.  After all, uniting the princes of the world to fight against Cao is Sun Quan's only way out.  "Retreat!" Sun Quan saw that the vanguard in front was defeated as soon as it came into contact with Cai Mao's navy. He was very angry. The navy he trained was actually not as good as the Jingzhou navy, but his strength was there. Sun Quan had no choice but to plan for now.  Only retreat.  Cai Mao had just defeated Sun Quan's naval army. In Xiangyang City, Cao Cao had arrived at the main hall of the Chinese Army. Lu Rui brought the civil and military personnel from Jingzhou to pay homage to Cao Cao.  The day after Cao Ang entered Xiangyang, he led 50,000 troops to the four counties in the south of Jingzhou to recruit the governors from various places.  Although there is a piece of paper from Liu Qi, Cao Cao still has to use some force if he wants to completely take over these places.  "Bufan's performance has won my heart. After returning to Xudu, I will be rewarded." Sitting on his seat, Cao Cao looked at Lu Rui with satisfaction. Lu Rui was able to use counterintuitive tactics to cause internal strife in Jingzhou. Lu Rui's resourcefulness was beyond compare.  Getting more mature.  "Thank you, Prime Minister!" "Well, Yidu, I have heard about your wisdom in Xudu. Today our army is stationed in Jingzhou. I wonder if Yidu has any good strategies to appease Jingzhou for me?" Cao Cao looked at Kuai Yue and asked,  How good is this number one counselor in Jingzhou?  "Prime Minister, the more you offer me the ten strategies to level the Jing Dynasty, I hope the Prime Minister will give you some advice and criticism." At Lu Rui's reminder.  Kuai Yue had already prepared strategies for Cao Cao, which would allow Cao Cao to quickly appease Jingzhou.  "Oh? It turns out that Yidu has a good strategy for a long time, and he presented it to the Prime Minister." "No!" Afterwards, Kuai Yue presented Cao Cao with ten strategies to pacify Jingzhou.  The main content is to use the kindness of the Cao family to influence the barbarians in Jingzhou and make the barbarians be used by Cao Cao.  In this way, the Cao family's foundation in Jingzhou was solidified.  At the same time, Kuai Yue stated in his statement that the aristocratic families in Jingzhou would fully support Cao Cao.  "Yes, yes, Yidu really won my heart. I decided to bring Yidu back to Xudu when I return to the north. I will meet His Majesty." Cao Cao was very satisfied with Kuai Yue's performance, especially Kuai Yue's suggestion.  Using the kindness of the Cao family to influence the barbarians in Jingzhou is not the same as using the kindness of the Han Dynasty to influence the barbarians. The two words are different, showing Kuai Yue's loyalty.  Kuai Yue was a retainer of the Cao family, not a retainer of the Liu family.  "Thank you, Prime Minister!" After Kuai Yue received Cao Cao's approval, he was very happy. When he returned to Xudu, the Kuai family had people in the capital. His eldest brother stayed in Jingzhou, and the day when the Kuai family would rise was not far away.  "Yes!" Cao Cao nodded.  He looked at Lu Rui with his eyes.  "Prime Minister, you have been tired from traveling for many days, so it would be better to rest early. Rui has prepared songs, dances and dinner for you, Prime Minister. Please enjoy your meal." Lu Rui saw the strange look in Cao Cao's eyes and already understood what Cao Cao was thinking. Old Cao went out  Outside, there are no women around, and I am addicted to women.  "Well, what Bufan said makes sense, you all should stand down." Cao Cao smiled slightly.  He signaled to everyone that they could leave.  "Xiandu, have you made all arrangements?" After walking out of the main hall of the Chinese Army, Lu Rui glanced at Kuai Yue.  "Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, Madam also understands the situation of the Cai family very well, and the Prime Minister was a hero at that time. He will not humiliate Madam." "Okay, we will find out tomorrow, and you, Master, go prepare the wedding gifts."  If Lao Cao really gave up the Cai family to that one, Lu Rui would go with the flow and try to win over Cai Mao.  "Wedding thing?" "Xiandu, if the wedding is not grander, Cai Mao may still have a grudge. If so, this information will be meaningless." What Lu Rui held in his hand was the information about Cai Mao's attack on Sun Quan.  It seems that Cai Mao's hint is very obvious, it depends on what Cao Cao does.  "The more I understand, the Marquis is wise!" After saying that, Kuai Yue cupped his hands and left.  The next day, early in the morning, Lu Rui and Kuai Yue were called to Cao Cao's study.  In the study, Cao Cao was slightly angry and looked at Lu Rui and Kuai Yue. What happened last night made him embarrassed.  He originally thought that Lu Rui had arranged for a singer to enjoy for himself, but he didn't expect that it was Liu Biao's widow and Cai Mao's sister!  Cao Cao felt very unhappy, and his reputation was even worse this time.  You just took over other people's states and counties, and then you took over other people's wives, Cao Mengde, and the reputation of wife Cao once again spread throughout the Han Dynasty.  "Bufan, you arranged this, right?" Cao Cao glanced at Lu Rui. Without Lu Rui's approval, Kuai Yue would not have the courage to surrender.  "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Rui is thinking about the overall situation. Your Majesty, if you accept the Cai family, you will get tens of thousands of soldiers in Jingzhou. The reputation of a woman is not worth mentioning. Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, always likes to go her own way, so why should she look at the colors of the people in the world?" Lu Rui was not afraid of Cao Cao.  , but "fight based on reason".  "Of course we know the truth, but why?Don¡¯t you know the truth?  "Seeing Lu Rui calling himself Prime Minister, Cao Cao knew that Lu Rui was talking about business. Indeed, a woman is nothing, and Jingzhou's army is a treasure. But Lu Rui's concealment made Cao Cao angry, and he felt like he was being plotted against.  "Prime Minister, Rui was also afraid that the Lord would not be able to make up his mind, so he made this decision. This plan was made by Rui, and he will be responsible for the infamy in the future.  Lu Rui answered Cao Cao cautiously. Externally, Cao Cao must have forced Cai to marry him, but internally, Lu Rui had to stand in the way of Cao Cao. This matter had nothing to do with the prime minister, it was Lu Rui's plan.  "You  "Cao Cao pointed at Lu Rui with his finger. He loved this adopted son and son-in-law so much that he did this kind of thing unscrupulously. This wantonness made Lao Cao feel helpless. "Prime Minister, the more I think this matter is not to blame the Marquis, the Prime Minister Ruo  If you want to do the king's business, I'm afraid this can be regarded as a clever move, throwing stones to ask for directions!  "Kuai Yue saw that although Cao Cao's face was angry, but he had no intention of blaming Lu Rui, he had a good idea in his heart and proposed another strategy to Cao Cao. "What a powerful Kuai Yidu! When Lu Rui heard what Kuai Yue said, he threw it  With a glance of admiration, Jingzhou's number one counselor was indeed extraordinary. He slightly changed Lu Rui's strategy and turned it into a clever plan. Who was Cai's deceased husband?  The throne is only lower than that of the emperor and the princes. The next step is the emperor. It is obvious that Cao Cao wants to replace the Han Dynasty, but to test the opinions of the ministers, he needs a clever move. Kuai Yue borrows Lu Rui's strategy.  , presented a clever move. Cao Cao's marriage will definitely be brought to the court. If it is brought to the court, there will definitely be support and opposition. The resistance of Cao Cao to the Han Dynasty is not high.  It was Lu Rui. He didn't expect it for a moment. After hearing what Kuai Yue said, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and then immediately realized the effectiveness of this strategy. Cao Cao smiled slightly and showed a proud expression. "What's going on over there with Cai Mao"  ?  "Cao Cao saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion and that Lu Rui had admitted his mistake, so he directly asked about Cai Mao's situation. Lu Rui, you made a plan to let Lao Cao get in. If Cai Mao doesn't appreciate it, then Lao Cao will lose his wife again.  "Don't worry, Prime Minister, this is yesterday's battle report. The Prime Minister was tired from traveling, and Rui was afraid of disturbing the Prime Minister, so he didn't submit it. Now, please take a look at it."  "Lu Rui smiled and presented the information about Cai Mao's attack on Sun Quan's navy. Even a fool would understand Cai Mao's hint. "Oh?  "Cao Cao took the information and read it over. Only then did he understand why Lu Rui did what he did. This was not only accurate for Cao Cao, but also accurate for Cai Hao. This is right, thinking back to when De Gui competed with him for beauty.  He is also a famous figure. He has been in charge of the Jingzhou Navy for many years and can be considered a hero. Since he is a hero, he must give others a step forward. "It turns out that Bufan had planned it for a long time!  Since De Gui has such intention, Bufan will set off tomorrow to Wulin, tell De Gui the truth, and at the same time invite De Gui to come to Xiangyang to attend the wedding. Cai's father is no longer here, and the eldest brother is the father, so you are like this  Tell Degui!  "Cao Cao waved his hand, indicating that Lu Rui and Kuai Yue could retreat. Lu Rui and Kuai Yue looked at each other, and then retreated to arrange the marriage for Cao Cao. The next day, Lu Rui took Cao Cao's letter to Wulin  In Shuijun camp, Cai Hao proposed marriage to Cao Cao and heard the words that his eldest brother was a father. Cai Hao knew very well what it meant for his eldest brother to be a father.  For no other reason than to worship in the high worship hall, Cai Hao would sit on the throne and let Cao Cao kneel down. Thinking of this, Cai Hao felt very excited. It was certainly happy to make Cao Cao lose face, but the Cao family and Cao Cao were very happy.  Cai's marriage means that the Cai family's status in Jingzhou can be maintained, which is the happiest thing for the family head. Cai Zhong and Cai He are two idiots who are not as high-minded as Cai Mao. They just feel that they have climbed the big tree of Lao Cao.  He was very happy and immediately persuaded Cai Hao to lead the troops to surrender. Cai Hao glared at the two of them, who had surrendered so quickly. Then Cai Hao said some truth, whether he surrendered to Cao Cao for the sake of the people of Jingzhou or the happiness of his sister.  Yes, Lu Rui didn't take it seriously. He followed Cai Mao's words and responded a few words. If you want tens of thousands of sailors, you have to say a few more good words. After a while of greetings, Cai Mao led the army back to Xiangyang with Lu Rui and formally surrendered.  Cao Cao. PS: Thank you for your great support!
