The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 15 Military Advisor Cai Mao
After Zhang Wu integrated Jiangxia's army, although he had nearly 2 troops, Huang Zu, the "transportation captain", lost a lot of warships because of his terrible defeat. Therefore, when Zhang Wu saw Cai Mao led The tall and well-organized warships in the Xiangyang navy are very greedy, and they are determined to get them here, and they cannot be ruined by this idiot Cai Mao.

After Liu Biao was named General of Zhennan by the imperial court, Cai Mao served as a military adviser. He was the second in command in the army and personally controlled the Xiangyang Navy. At the same time, he was also Liu Biao's brother-in-law, and he was a very powerful man in Jingzhou.

"Xiaguan Zhang Wu, deputy general of Jiangxia City, paid a visit to the army division. Thanks to the army division for leading the army to support him. He scared off the Jiangdong army and saved the people of Jiangxia from being slaughtered. The civil and military people of Jiangxia City are very grateful!" He poured some ecstasy soup.

"General Zhang is exempt from courtesy. General Zhang led the army to resist Sun Quan's invasion and defended Jiangxia. It is a great achievement. I will definitely report to Lord Zhou and reward General Zhang." Cai Mao said politely at the beginning. We are all people in the officialdom. People in bridal sedan chairs carry people, so let's flatter each other first.

"Thank you for the great kindness of the military division. This time I was able to repel Sun Quan and defend Jiangxia. It all depends on the concerted efforts of the civil and military officials of Jiangxia City and the people to fight together. Take credit!"

"Hahahaha... General Zhang is too polite. If General Zhang hadn't organized resistance, Jiangxia City might have been taken by Jiangdong. By the way, I don't know where Huang Taishou is now?" , but Jiangxia City is very important, I can't give you a general, I have to cause you some trouble.

"Reporting to the military division, Taishou Huang lost the battle with the Jiangdong Army and was captured by Sun Quan." Zhang Wu saw that although Cai Hao spoke politely, he didn't like himself in his heart. Gathered together to occupy Xiangyang, and indeed did a lot of bad things, and Cai Mao is from Xiangyang.This time I asked knowingly, and it seemed that I was looking for trouble.

"Oh? Huang Taishou was actually captured by Sun Quan. As Jiang Xia's deputy general, the main general was captured. Why didn't you go to rescue him?"

Sure enough, Zhang Wu didn't panic, and replied: "The military master doesn't know something. When Huang Taishou went out, he ordered the last general to defend the city, so he was not on the front line. After the soldiers who escaped brought back the news, Jiangdong The water army has advanced to the vicinity of Jiangxia. The situation was very critical at that time, and the general had the responsibility of defending the city, so he had to organize the army and civilians to defend the city first. Fortunately, the military division came to support in time and scared off the Jiangdong army. Now the Jiangxia city army has been integrated. The main force of the Xiangyang navy is here, so please lead us to pursue Sun Quan and rescue Huang Taishou!"

Zhang Wu started to set Cai Mao up, don't think you are Liu Biao's brother-in-law, brother is afraid of you, and wants to trouble me, so I'll dig a hole for you first, as long as you dare to chase Sun Quan, brother can trap you in.

Before Cai Mao could speak, Huang She, who was beside him, knelt eagerly in front of Cai Mao, crying, "Please send troops quickly to rescue my father!"

Beautiful, this assist brother called 666 for you!
Although Cai Mao was a military adviser of the Jingzhou Army, his military ability was not much better than Huang Zu's. How dare he go after Sun Quan, unless Huang Zu didn't save him and went in by himself.

"Although Sun Quan retreated temporarily, he knew it was not a tactic to lure the enemy. If he was caught in an ambush and lost troops, Jiangxia City would be in danger. My nephew, get up quickly. Of course, I will not ignore my friendship with Huang Taishou for many years. , I’ll go back and report to Master State Shepherd, and discuss with Sun Quan about redeeming your father.”

There are precedents for such things.

When Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang, he borrowed 20 grain from Liu Biao, but Liu Biao refused, so Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to attack Liu Biao.Liu Biao sent Huang Zu to fight against the vanguard. Sun Jian performed "borrowing arrows from a straw boat" and tricked Huang Zu into tens of thousands of arrows. Then Sun Jian ordered the soldiers to release arrows along with the wind.

Huang Zu couldn't resist, so he had to retreat. Cheng Pu and Huang Gai split into two groups and went straight to Huang Zu's camp. Behind them, Han Dang drove his troops forward.

Under attack from three sides, Huang Zu was defeated, and Sun Jian pursued all the way, especially his son Sun Ce, who frightened Huang Zu and threw away his helmet and armor.

Huang Zu fled back and met Liu Biao, saying that Sun Jian was too powerful and we really couldn't beat him.Liu Biao also panicked, he had just settled down in Jingzhou not long ago, don't be snatched away by Sun Jian, he hurriedly asked Kuai Liang what to do.

Kuai Liang said: "Now that we have just lost the battle, the army has no morale, so we can only dig deep ditches and build high walls instead of fighting with Sun Jian, and then send someone to ask Yuan Shao for help."

Cai Hao just took over the military power and felt that he should be the kind of military genius born in the world, who can win as soon as he goes out, so he insisted on leading troops to fight against Sun Jian, but was killed by Sun Jian, and his corpses were scattered all over the field. He never dared to mention the war again. thing.

Kuai Liang said that Cai Mao didn't listen to the good strategy, resulting in a big defeat, and he should be executed according to the military law, but Liu Biao refused to punish Cai Mao because he just married Cai Mao's sister.

Sun Jian then surrounded Xiangyang and attacked from all sides. As a result, he was shot to death by random arrows when chasing the troops sent by Liu Biao for help.Seeing that Sun Jian was dead, Huang Zu and others felt that there was something to be gained, so they led their troops to fight out. Huang Zu was happy to kill, but they happened to meet Huang Gai.

Although they were all surnamed Huang, Huang Zu and Huang Gai were captured alive by Huang Gai in less than two rounds.

Sun Ce learned that his father was shot to death by random arrows and Liu Biao's body was carried into the city, so he sent Heng Jie to negotiate with Liu Biao and exchanged Huang Zu for Sun Jian's body.

Kuai Liang didn't agree at that time, and persuaded Liu Biao to take advantage of Sun Jian's death and Sun Ce and others to attack Jiangdong when they were young. "

But Liu Biao said: "Huang Zu is my old man, how can I ignore him?" In fact, Liu Biao wanted to balance his subordinates and not allow his family to dominate. What is your intention?Since you want to kill Cai Mao, but also ignore Huang Zu's life and death, is this Jingzhou exclusive to your Kuai family?
Therefore, Cai Mao and Huang Zu also had deep opinions on the Kuai family, and because of the previous example, Cai Mao wanted Liu Biao to try to discuss with Sun Quan, whether he could return to Huang Zu.

Zhang Wu held a banquet for Cai Mao and his generals in Jiangxia City, and took the opportunity to introduce his two brothers to Cai Mao.

"Military division, I was able to defend Jiangxia City this time because of my two brothers, especially my third brother Gan Ning, who led the Jiangxia navy and Jiangdong navy to circle the river, making it impossible for the Jiangdong army to cut off Jiangxia City from the outside world. contact."

Cai Hao originally looked down on these three people who were born as thieves, but he was a little surprised to see that most of the Jiangxia Army officers were very obedient to these three brothers, especially the generals of the Jiangxia Navy respected Gan Ning. To control Jiang Xia's army to such an extent.
