Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 142
Han Song said solemnly: "It's not for me to pour cold water. After Yuan Xi defeated Cao Cao, the general situation of the world has become clear. It is really unwise to confront him at this time."

Liu Biao narrowed his eyes and didn't speak.

Cai Mao said angrily, "Han Song, what do you mean by that?"

Han Song said calmly: "Nevertheless, the emperor is in Yecheng. Whether we fight or not is against righteousness. What's more, the opponent is not strong. I have an army of [-] in Jingzhou. How can I be Yuan Xi's opponent? "

"You want to surrender?" Cai Mao was furious and got up and drew his sword.

Han Song also got up, and said seriously: "You guys have to think about it, what will happen to us if we fail? Knowing that we are invincible, but being the enemy is not the act of a wise man!"

He looked at Liu Biao, "I also hope that my lord will consider the overall situation and the people of Jingzhou."

Liu Biao couldn't help feeling sad when he saw that except for Cai Mao who was filled with righteous indignation, no one else spoke.

The pressure Yuan Xi put on was too great, everyone present wanted to surrender, but he had already known it.

I just didn't expect Han Song to jump out to persuade him to surrender after expressing his attitude today.

"What do you think?"

Liu Biao was angry, but he couldn't let it out.

These people are the pillars for him to control Jingzhou, he can't get angry, and he can't get angry.

Still no one spoke, and everyone fell into silence.

Liu Biao became more and more annoyed, and snorted, "Are you all dumb? I have [-] armored soldiers in Jingzhou, and there are natural dangers blocking me. Why don't I even have the courage to fight?"

Zhang Yun hesitated for a while, and said: "My lord, it's not that I'm timid, it's that Yuan Xi is too powerful. I'm afraid an army of millions can level the river. It's okay to lose this battle. If you win What can I do?"

"Zhang Yun!"

Cai Mao yelled, Zhang Yun is Liu Bei's nephew, and he is also in-laws with him, he did not expect Zhang Yun to say such unpromising words, openly singing against him.

This made Cai Mao feel very shameless.

Zhang Yun didn't look at Cai Mao's face, but just lowered his head.

Liu Biao was also displeased. He frowned and said, "According to you, it's better to win than to lose? What's the reason?"

Only then did Zhang Yun raise his head, and said with a flattering smile: "My lord, please think about it, our own strength is not as good as that of Yuan Jun, isn't it?"

Liu Biao snorted, but did not refute.

Zhang Yun continued: "If you are lucky enough to win a few battles, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to surrender in the end, so it's okay to lose, but it's not a good thing to win."

Liu Biao was furious, "Zhang Yun, do you underestimate my Jingzhou soldiers?"

Zhang Yun shook his head, and said: "I underestimated him, but I really can't beat him. Except for Yuan Xi, everyone in the world belongs to the master with strong soldiers and strong horses, but the gap is too big. Openly resisting is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg."

"Yes, my lord, Yuan Jun's army of millions, how can I, Jingzhou, stop it?"

Some people began to support Zhang Yun and said one after another.

"To shut up."

Liu Biao was really angry. He usually gave these people food and drink, and gave them what they wanted. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, each of them wanted to surrender.

He said with a cold face: "Listen to me, all the personnel cooperate with Degui's actions, if there are any people who surrender lightly, don't blame the old man for being rude!"

After running Jingzhou for decades, how could Liu Biao give it up so easily!

It is said that he, Liu Jingsheng, is a conservative man with no enterprising spirit. If he doesn't even defend himself today, how can he live up to his reputation?
"only!"

Liu Biao became angry, but no one dared to disobey him.

"Zhang Yun!"

After the crowd dispersed, before Cai Hao could go far, he yelled loudly and scolded, "Are you a brat? My lord treats you well, you"

The sound of the heated argument between the two faded away, and Liu Biao's wife, Cai Yu, came out with ginseng tea.

"Husband, drink some tea to calm down."

Liu Biao looked up at the young and beautiful Cai Yu. He was in a better mood, but he was still angry. He said angrily, "A bunch of bastards are usually better than anyone else. They really want to surrender when they encounter things. This old man is really blind." eyes."

Cai Yuyu stretched her arms slightly, stuffed the teacup into Liu Biao's hand, and comforted, "Don't get angry now, what they think is their own idea, and it's not you, husband, who makes the final decision?"

"Hey."

Liu Biao took the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

"Cough cough cough."

He drank too much, choked his throat, and Liu Biao coughed heavily.

Cai Yu was sprayed with ginseng tea, and the silk clothes on her chest were wet. She was slender and moved like a rabbit. She was so frightened that she took a few steps back, the disgust in her eyes flashed, she raised her head, her mouth was full of coquettishness. Said: "Husband~"

"Sorry, sorry, let me wipe it for you."

Liu Biao subconsciously reached out to help Cai Yu wipe the tea, Cai Yu avoided it, took out a silk scarf from his cuff, wiped it casually, and said softly: "Husband, let's think about how to repel Yuan Jun. I heard that there are many of them. , is more than ten times that of our Jingzhou soldiers and horses."

"so what?"

Liu Biao's old face was filled with displeasure, "My Jingzhou navy is invincible! No matter how good Yuan Jun is, how can he be our opponent?"

"Yes, yes," said Cai Yufu, how could people understand these things, and said with relief after hearing the words, "I wish my husband the victory of the banner and the great defeat of Yuan Jun."

"Ah."

Liu Biao was old, in poor health, and lacked energy. After drinking ginseng tea, he fell asleep after a few words.

Cai Yu originally wanted to say a few more words, but when she saw this, she sighed in disappointment, and ordered the servant girl to help Liu Biao into the room to rest.

"Zhang Yun, what do you mean?"

Cai Mao chased and scolded Zhang Yun all the way to Zhang Yun's yard.

Zhang Yun occasionally returned to him for two rounds along the way, and when he returned to the yard, he said seriously: "What can I mean, I just feel that I can't beat him. Those who know the current affairs are heroes and want to surrender."

Cai Mao frowned, "You are also the lord's nephew, if you stand up before anyone else speaks, you will lose your face?"

"Why is the face so important?"

Zhang Yun said as it should be: "I think my lord is planning to fight to the end. If I don't show my attitude earlier, we will be really defeated. What if Yuan Xi kills us all?"

Seeing that Cai Mao fell silent, Zhang Yun persuaded him earnestly: "I already knew the result, so why bother to hit the stone with an egg and do nothing to resist? While the world is still uncertain, there is still some capital to surrender as soon as possible. Maybe I will be a waiter."

Cai Mao said: "My Jingzhou navy is not bad."

Zhang Yundao: "So what? The Yuan family ruled the world as a powerful force. If it doesn't conform to the current situation today, what will your Cai family do in the future?"

Cai Mao sighed, "You kid said that in front of everyone today, if you repel Yuan Jun this time, you won't be much better off."

"Wealth and wealth are in danger." Zhang Yun waved his hand and said, "I was the first to ask for surrender. After the Yuan family unified the world, I will have a great contribution. As for defeating Yuan Jun, I didn't think so much."

Cai Mao said with emotion: "The lord has a nephew like you, it's really bad luck for eight lifetimes."

Zhang Yun said with a smile: "You can't blame me for this. Besides, I surrendered earlier today. After surrendering together in the future, I can still help and speak for his old Liu family."

Looking around, Zhang Yun said in a low voice: "Don't dream of defeating Yuan Jun. The lord is old and in poor health, and the young lord is weak. If you don't surrender now, when will you wait?"

"Go back and think about it carefully." Zhang Yundao, "Anyway, I have shown my attitude."

Cai Mao said with emotion: "The lord has a nephew like you, it's really bad luck for eight lifetimes."

"It's endless, anyway, I'll show my attitude, and I won't do anything else, and I can't do it."

Zhang Yun left after speaking.

Cai Mao shook his head and followed suit.

Yuan Xi led an army of one million, and the whole journey was like a broken bamboo, hardly encountering any effective resistance.

It is close to Xiangyang.

Liu Biao was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly called everyone to discuss.

It's just that this time no one dared to speak anymore, Liu Biao vomited blood angrily, and finally Cai Mao stepped forward in due time, saying that he had already trained his soldiers and horses, and it was absolutely impossible for Yuan Jun to conquer Xiangyang.

Liu Biao was in a better mood and ordered Cai Mao to lead his troops into battle.

At the same time, Liu Qi, the eldest son who is far away in Jiangling, is ordered to lead the troops to rescue.

As for Huang Zu, who was guarding against the Sun family in Jiangxia, he did not dare to provoke him in the end.

That night.

Cai Mao called all the generals together in the tent.

"The Yuan family's army is unstoppable, and it arrived in a blink of an eye. What do you think?"

Cai Mao glanced at everyone present, observing their expressions.

All the generals looked at each other in blank dismay, and one of the young generals said, "Naturally, I want to protect Jingzhou and fight with Yuan Jun."

"it is good!"

Cai Mao exclaimed: "Then let you be the pioneer, how about it?"

The young general was stunned.

Cai Mao ignored it, turned around and asked, "Who else is willing to go with him?"

All the generals bowed their heads.

Cai Mao looked at the young general again and asked, "Are you willing to be a pioneer?"

The young general turned pale with fright, and stammered: "The last general is average in martial arts, I'm afraid I won't be able to take on this important task."

"Then do you have someone to recommend?"

The young general looked at Wenpin subconsciously, but Wenpin didn't look at him.

The young general glanced at everyone one by one, and said helplessly: "The last general has no one to recommend."

Cai Mao slammed the table and said angrily, "You said you were fighting Yuan Jun, but you didn't dare to fight. You're insulting this general?"

Before the young general could speak, Cai Mao ordered the young general to be pulled out and chopped.

"Any more?"

Cai Mao stared at everyone.

In the big tent, the iron needles could be heard falling to the ground, only the sound of breathing remained.

At this time, the door of the camp tent opened, and a person entered boldly, and said loudly, "Why don't you come down, all generals?"

The generals were in an uproar. Looking back, he was from Gaoping, Shanyang. His surname was Wang and his name was charming.

He is also a famous official in Jingzhou.

"Wang Zhongxuan, what do you mean?" Cai Mao shouted loudly.

Wang Can smiled slightly, and said loudly: "My lords only have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, can they stop Yuan's army of one million?"

No one spoke.

Wang Can looked at Cai Mao, "Dare to ask General Cai, how is it better than Cao A?"

Cai Mao's complexion changed slightly, but he said: "I'm not as good as that!"

"Cao A concealed Zhang Xiu's defeat, defeated Lu Bu, and defeated Yuan Shao several times, but finally fell to Wuchao. In the hands of Yuan Xianyi, what does General Cai think of Yuan Xianyi's abilities?"

Cai Hao's face turned pale and blue, and finally sighed: "I'm not as good as that."

"Isn't that what it is?"

Wang Can spread his hands, "It's not as good as others, so why fight?"

Wenpin had always been at odds with him, and upon hearing the words, he disdainfully said: "According to your words, can you only surrender when encountering the enemy?"

Wang Can laughed loudly and said, "There is a difference between what the general said. When encountering an enemy, first look at the level of the generals on both sides. If the level of the general is not good, don't you just teach the soldiers to die?"

Those words made everyone present speechless.

Jingzhou has always been peaceful, and no matter whether it is generals or soldiers, they can't compare with Yuan Jun's sergeant in terms of being good at fighting.

"Vote." Wang Can said calmly, "The common people don't want to fight, and the soldiers don't want to fight. How can we disregard the wishes of the world for our own self-interest?"

Cai Hao's beard moved slightly, with a disheartened look on his face, he murmured: "A question to the king is better than ten years of reading. I don't care about this battle. Yuan Jun came here with the general trend. How can we wait?" Block it?"

Wang Can praised: "General Cai is truly a hero! The people of Jingzhou will definitely remember the general's achievements."

"Ashamed."

Cai Mao looked at the generals, "I want to surrender to Yuan Jun, what objections do the generals have?"

The officials in Jingzhou are all local wealthy families, and when faced with an unwinnable war, no one wants to fight.

Therefore, when Cai Mao mentioned surrender, even if a small number of generals were unwilling, how could they stop everyone's wishes?
Cai Mao immediately decided that the celebrity should surrender.

After the crowd dispersed, Cai Mao grabbed Wang Can's arm and laughed loudly, "Thanks to Zhongxuan for saving me, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to get down the stairs today."

Wang Can waved his hands and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands. Besides, I think surrendering is appropriate. It's just that when the general meets the general in the future, he should say a few good words for him."

"sure."

"The soldiers and horses led by Cai Mao?"

In Yuan Jun's camp, he heard it and made a detailed report. Yuan Xi smiled and said: "This man is capricious. The first thing is to attack the heart, and the second is to attack the city. Who is willing to send an envoy to Cai Ying tomorrow to persuade him to surrender?"

Just as Guo Tu was about to go forward, suddenly one of them took the lead and said, "A certain person is willing to go."

Yuan Xi looked at him, but saw an unfamiliar face. Just as he was about to ask him who he was, he heard outside: "General, the envoy Cai Mao outside the tent is asking to see you."

Yuan Xi laughed loudly and said, "This must be for the surrender."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering why Yuan Xi was so confident.

"The villain Song Zhong pays his respects to the general."

Song Zhong handed over the surrender letter with both hands, his attitude was almost flattering.

Guo Tu took it and sent it to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi didn't look at it, and waved his hand to let Guo Tu read it out. It was indeed Cai Mao's letter of surrender.

Everyone was overjoyed, but they also had some doubts, so Cai Mao led the army to surrender at night.

It wasn't until they saw Cai Mao himself that he controlled tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Xiangyang that everyone believed that Cai Mao had really surrendered.

Cai Mao cautiously accompanied Yuan Xi, and said softly, "There are very few troops defending Xiangyang, I would like to lead an army to win Xiangyang for the general."

"Go, general, be careful."

Cai Mao was overjoyed and led the army away.

When he walked away, Xu Chu cursed, and everyone showed contempt.

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Although Cai Mao is a snake and a mouse, no matter what, he can be regarded as doing some strength for our army. Otherwise, if we really fight, I'm afraid our army will lose a lot, so he has some credit."

It was night, and Cai Mao led the troops into the city in a hurry.

He first went to Liu Biao's place and called out his younger sister Cai Yu.

"Brother, why are you calling me late at night?"

Cai Yu's eyes were sleepy, apparently he had just woken up not long ago.

"Go back to Cai's house first."
