Surprisingly, the seemingly weak Jiangdong Group dared to take the initiative to send troops to the west to fight against the huge Caoying Group, and even attacked Danjiangkou, an important food and grass area, causing huge losses!

This was unexpected by Cao Cao, and it also proved one thing, Sun Quan's extraordinary talent, Zhou Yu's heroic appearance, and the vigorous Jiangdong Group are not comparable to the decadent Jingzhou Group. In trouble!

Happily, Zhou Gongjin took great pains to travel up the Yangtze River, traveling hundreds of miles, and ended up losing troops and fleeing in embarrassment, and the food and grass in the rear were also saved!

And the one who defeated this famous Jiangdong general turned out to be a group of children from hundreds of families, who had never been in battle before. Wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?

In the end, the face sank like water, and it was also because the disciples of hundreds of families, who concurrently served as the "Grand Master of the Academy", actually only had a false name, arguing that the school's affairs, big and small, were all handled by Xiao Yi, and the thousands of students in it also respectfully called it "" Master Xiao! '

The three young men who have done meritorious service this time, Guo Yi is Xiao Yi's brother-in-law, Deng Ai and Hao Zhao are his direct disciples, they are the absolute best buddies of the Xiao family!

Xiao Yi is both civil and military, high in position and weight, and it is already difficult to restrain him. With the help of three young heroes, wouldn't it be even more powerful?

What is even more depressing is that the Xiao family is flourishing and full of talents, but the Cao family is in decline.

Also, during the Battle of Changbanpo, the general Cao Ren fell from the horse with an arrow and injured his left lung. He vomited blood every day. The doctor in charge of the treatment said:

The arrow wound was serious, and life and death were unpredictable. Even if he managed to save his life, he would be plagued by illness in the future. Let alone riding a horse, it would be difficult to catch his breath. In other words, Cao Ren was completely useless!

Generals Cao and Xiahou are either gradually getting old, or injured and disabled, and the younger generation is not up to date, and there is a situation of being out of succession. In another 20 years, I am afraid that they will be replaced by others!

Besides, the current battle situation is not all smooth sailing. After several months of bloody fighting and loss of countless soldiers, horses, money and food, Cao Jun has already occupied seven of the nine counties of Jingzhou, and the two important towns of Xiangyang and Jiangling have also been captured!

However, Liu Bei and Liu Qi retreated to Jiangxia County, still stubbornly resisting, and there is a tendency to form an alliance with Jiangdong, people are very worried, and Changsha County in the south is also unwilling to accept appeasement!

Liu Pan, the prefect of Changsha, is Liu Biao's nephew. He is well-read in poetry and books, and is good at comforting the people, but he can't lead troops to fight. The fire dragon colt has the courage of all men!

General Cao Hong went to the conquest, but suffered a crushing defeat, losing more than 1 horses. He was shot in the waist by an arrow. Fortunately, he was protected by a double layer of heavy armor, so he saved his life, but he had to recuperate for a few months!

Although Changsha County is small, it guards the south bank of the Yangtze River. If it is not conquered and the worries of the future are eradicated, how can I rest assured and attack the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes turned and fell on Xiao Yi beside him. Huang Zhong is brave and good at fighting. Although Cao Ying has many generals, no one is his opponent. Only by asking Xiao Yi to come out can he be safe!

But when the words came to his lips, he really couldn't say it. He had promised before that 'the one with the most achievements in conquering the south will be the lord of Jingzhou', and then he broke his promise and became fat, and took away the Jingzhou shepherd who belonged to Xiao Yi!

Now that we have encountered a tough battle, if I want to send Xiao Yi to lead the troops, I am afraid they will not agree, and I am not easy to force it, but the generals I send are not sure of victory, and I can't do it myself for the sake of a county. Shall we go across the river?

"As the saying goes: Horses are always in love, people are always homesick, the old man seems really old. Since he sent his master to the south, he has missed his relatives day and night, Zihuan, Zijian, Ziwen... and Jieer, and two A little grandson!

Green fruit and red fruit come from the same branch. As the eldest son, Xuan'er can inherit the title, mansion, and the fiefdom of Youzhou. For the grandfather, how do you feel at ease?

Changsha County has a large population and affluent places, and it is also an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. The old man deliberately used it as Huang'er's fiefdom, what does my son-in-law think? "

In order for Xiao Yi to lead the army to go out, Cao Cao really put his mind to it. He played the two big cards of family affection and temptation in succession. Jingzhou can't hand it over, but a county is no problem!

In addition, the two sons of the Xiao family, one is sealed in Youzhou and the other is sealed in Jingzhou, so that when they grow up, it is difficult to see each other, which is equivalent to dismantling the Xiao family's power in disguise, which is also a good thing!

"The Prime Minister cares about Quanzi so much, Wuchou is really grateful, but Huang'er is too young and has no merits for the country. I am afraid that people in the world will not accept the sudden conferment of a county!"

Xiao Yi is naturally willing to get a piece of land for his son, but after learning the lesson from last time, he can't easily nod his head, lest he will be cheated again, he must not see the rabbits or stalk the eagles!

So the answer was very tactful, only saying that people in the world were dissatisfied, not saying that I didn't want it, but telling Cao Cao that I want to send troops to Changsha, you are serious!

"Since the army marched south, Xiao Lang has killed countless enemies. He has made great contributions to the community. Father and son are one, so rewarding Huang'er with a piece of land is nothing. This matter is up to the old man. Let's see who dares to criticize it!"

Cao Cao was treacherous, so he naturally understood the meaning. He immediately picked up the Langhao pen, wrote a reward order, and stamped the golden seal of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and the matter was settled!

"The Prime Minister is so kind, the Xiao family is grateful, and they can only do their best to repay the great kindness. It just so happens that Changsha County refuses to submit, and the general is willing to lead the army to conquer and capture the enemy's leader as a gift to the Prime Minister!

However, the Yangtze River is wide and the current is turbulent. The last general is full of soldiers and cavalry. Without the help of navy ships, it may be difficult to go south? "

In fact, Xiao Yi would send troops without a county award, because in Changsha County across the river, there are two people who are bound to win by themselves, one is Huang Zhong and the other is the little queen!

The former is a peerless general, whose skills are not inferior to those of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. If he gets it, he can add help. The latter is a peerless beauty, who can relieve the pain of lovesickness. How can he not go?

"It doesn't matter, after Cai Mao and Zhang Yun escaped from Xiangyang, they led an army of [-] sailors, with thousands of warships, large and small, stationed in Dongting Lake!

The two sent envoys, willing to submit to the old man's command, in order to get a high official and generous salary, Xiao Yi can go to Dongting Lake, canonize the two officials and titles, and with the help of their navy, cross the Yangtze River and go straight to Changsha County! "

While speaking, Cao Cao waved his hand back, and someone fetched two gold seals, armor, sword, documents for awards...and a lot of gold, silver and jewels!

Since Cao Jun went south, the shortcoming is the navy, so Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were generously rewarded for surrendering, so that they could take it for their own use, lest they take the fleet and go to the Sun family in the east!

"In this way, I will make some preparations and go to Dongting Lake tomorrow to accept the [-] sailors and attack Changsha County!"

Xiao Yi acted swiftly and resolutely, took the things immediately, saluted and left, and took the Xuanjia army, the trapped camp, and Danyang soldiers to Dongting Lake to receive [-] sailors!

Looking at the back of Yingwei who left, Cao Cao felt a sense of powerlessness. As time went by, he couldn't suppress Xiao Yi more and more. He had to support a few talents and try to contain this greedy wolf!

But among the civil and military officials, it is rare to have someone who can be of great use. The chief secretary, Sima Yi-Eagle Watching Wolf Gu, who is both civil and military, must be a powerful character in the future, but the city is too deep, and he may not be obedient in the future!

In addition, although Sima Yi is talented, he is still not Xiao Yi's opponent. He must choose another talent, and the two of them will work together to contain this greedy wolf, so that nothing will go wrong!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly envied Liu Bei. The big-eared thief ran around in a panic, but Wen was assisted by Kong Ming and Xu Shu, and Wu Guanyu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were all assisted by Wang Zuo's talents!

I heard from the local gentry that there are two great talents in Jingzhou, "Fulong and Fengchu, if they get one, they can make the world safe." Own……

"Pass down the order and send more people to scout around to find Mr. Feng Chu's whereabouts. This man has the talents of all over the world, and the old man must be recruited under his command!"

"promise!"

Chapter 1250 Yunmeng Daze, recruiting the navy

The matter of recruiting was not easy, otherwise Cao Cao would have sent his confidants there, how could it be Xiao Yi's turn, so after preparations were made, Xiao Yi led the Xuanjia Army, the Siege Camp, the Danyang Army, the Evil Ghost Camp... a total of 8 or [-] horses marched eastward along the river bank, and soon arrived at Yunmengze!

Yunmengze, also known as "Yunmeng Daze", is the general name of the lakes in the Jiang and Han areas. The north of the Jiangxi is called "Yunze", and the south of the Yangtze River is called "Mengze". Sima Xiangru's "Zixu Fu" records: a radius of nine hundred Here, there are mountains... different places and different types, rare and strange birds and beasts, filled with thousands of scales and scales, it is impossible to remember!

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the population in the Jianghan area has multiplied, the vegetation has been severely damaged, and the rivers have been silted up, so that the cloud in the north has been weakening and moving eastward, and has become a large wetland. Carrying horses and chariots, the road is extremely difficult!

On the contrary, the terrain of Mengze in the south is relatively low, and a large amount of water from the Yangtze River is poured into it. It also accepts the four rivers of Hunan, Zi, Yuan, and Li. The water area continues to expand and becomes Dongting Lake, which is the second largest freshwater lake in China. , second only to Poyang Lake!

Yunze and Mengze were originally sisters, one was gradually dying out, and the other was thriving. People can't help feeling the words "vicissitudes of life". After Cai Mao and Zhang Yun fled Xiangyang, they led Jingzhou's [-] navy and thousands of ships. Warships are stationed in Dongting Lake!

The people and horses came to the north bank of the river and chose a place with higher terrain, surrounded by mountains and rivers to camp, and the camp was built extremely large, with flags planted all over the day, and more bonfires at night, known as the "20 army" to the outside world, to intimidate people's hearts!

Next, Xiao Yi sent a messenger to cross the Yangtze River in a small boat, and went to Dongting Lake Water Village to meet with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun and deliver the news of consolation.

At the same time, Jia Xu, Feng Ji, Mi Heng, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, and the Four Beasts of Hell... Dozens of confidants, civil and military, were called together to discuss the matter of recruiting and how to proceed!

"I'll see Da Sima - Invincible, invincible!"

"Free!--Sit!"

After a while, all the people came to the tent of the Chinese army. After saluting with fists clasped, and seated one by one, they either looked sad, or lowered their heads in thought. None of them spoke easily, because everyone knew in their hearts that appeasement was too difficult!

Xiao Yi has been fighting for more than ten years, and he has done a lot of things. The Battle of Yanzhou - recruited hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, the Battle of Shouchun - annexed the soldiers and horses of the big-eared bandits, the Battle of Guandu - surrendered hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops... the method Simple and works:

The brigade drove over, surrounded inside and outside three times, and then disarmed, selected, disrupted, and incorporated... Whoever dared to disobey the order would immediately slash him with a knife and kill until he dared not resist. It's the first time for the navy!
