Cao Ying's water army - few people, small boats, poor training, can only transport grain and grass in the river, never fought on the big river, what is even more depressing is that the first crusade against Changsha County, Cao Hong brought 2 horses, Carrying navy ships across the Yangtze River, the result was a crushing defeat!

Not to mention that I was injured by the arrow and lost most of the troops, the navy also let others take it. The warships and sailors were captured in all likelihood, and only a few small boats escaped back. They were not even enough to transport food. Don't talk about crossing the river with people and horses for the second time!

In other words, if the Jingzhou navy does not surrender, Xiao Yi will not be able to annex it by force. Although there are elite soldiers and generals under his command, they will not be able to cross the Yangtze River for thousands of miles, let alone enter Dongting Lake. When a tiger reaches the land of water, it is far inferior to a crocodile ah!

The safest way is to call Cai Hao and Zhang Yun to Jiangbei, and negotiate in the Xuanjia army camp. Given their timid character, I am afraid they dare not take a step out of the water village, let alone cross the river!

For the current plan, the only way is to send a special envoy with full authority to enter the water village of Dongting Lake. With his sharp teeth and sharp tongue, he can persuade Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to lead an army of [-] sailors to cross the river and surrender!

Convincing the other party to surrender requires both kindness and force, and it is easy to talk about kindness, but there is no deterrence. Therefore, lobbying is quite difficult. Among all the civil and military confidantes, who can take on this important task?

"I was born in Xiliang, and I have seen the grasslands in northern Saibei, the snow in Liaodong, the rivers and mountains in the Central Plains... but I have never seen the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. Now that I have a good opportunity, how can I let it go easily?

If Da Sima trusts me, I am willing to take a trip. With my sharp tongue, I will definitely persuade Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to surrender, help the army cross the Yangtze River, and wipe out the rebellion in Changsha County! "

Jia Xu was the first to stand up and expressed his willingness to be a special envoy. Although he said it easily, his slightly clenched fists proved that the poisoner did not have much confidence!

Both Cai Hao and Zhang Yun are greedy and contemptible people, and they have an army of [-] in their hands. They will definitely use their own strength and set prices on the ground. Without the threat of strong force, it is difficult to convince them with just a dexterous tongue!

"Since he went south with the army, Mr. Wenhe has been unaccustomed to the climate and his body has been very weak. How can he go deep into the Dongting water village? Let's go down there!"

"The two gentlemen are both great talents, and they should be able to plan strategies and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. This kind of trickery is my forte!"

"The last generals are willing to go. If Cai Hao and Zhang Yun do not submit, we will unscrew their heads and kick them as balls!"

....................................

Generals Feng Ji, Mi Heng, Gao Shun, and Dian Wei stepped forward to ask for orders one after another. They all wanted to serve as envoys with full powers to appease the Jingzhou Navy, but Xiao Yi glanced several times, but he still didn't agree!

There are a lot of talents in the tent, some are full of ideas, some are eloquent, and some are brave champions. They are all first-class talents, but there is no suitable candidate for the Dongting Lake Water Village!

Jia Xu is resourceful and resourceful, but her personality is too dark. She always likes to hide behind the scenes. Although she has done a lot of great things, she has no prestige. In addition, she is indifferent to fame and wealth, and her official position is pitifully low.

Sending a long history across the river will not only fail to deter the Jingzhou navy, but will also arouse contempt. Big loss!

Feng Ji is quite famous, but he is good at strategy and short on eloquence, and his personality is too strong. If he is asked to persuade the Jingzhou navy, there will be a fierce quarrel in a few words, so he is not the right person!

Mi Heng is good at eloquence, but unfortunately his teeth are sore and his breath is bad. It’s okay to scold the enemy in battle, but it’s not good to persuade people to surrender. In the original history, he offended the generals of Jingzhou with his words, and he was killed and buried in Yingwu Island. Yes, the tragedy should not repeat itself!

Gao Shun, Dian Wei, and Four Beasts are even more unthinkable, otherwise a good recruiting will turn into a battle!

"As for the matter of appeasement, I have already made a conclusion, so there is no need for you to argue. As long as this person comes out, he must speak a few words to convince the Jingzhou navy!"

"Someone has been selected for the Great Sima, who in the battalion has this talent?"

"Could it be that he just came out of the mountain? I heard that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is around Jingzhou!"

..............................

Recruiting is extremely difficult, and only a person with prestige, rank, means, and scheming can be successful. Therefore, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, secretly guessing, who fell into Da Sima's eyes?

Xiao Yi showed a smirk on his face, raised a finger mischievously, twirled a few times in mid-air, and finally pointed at... himself, who else can caress me?

Only when the ghost-faced Xiao Lang goes there, can Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and the [-] Jingzhou navy be deterred!

Only when the ghost-faced Xiao Lang goes there can he show his sincerity in appeasement and win the hearts of Jingzhou sailors!

Only when the ghost-faced Xiao Lang goes there, can he surprise the other party, and then take the initiative in the negotiation, so that the matter can be smoothly facilitated!

........................

"Elder Sima, don't...Elder Sima, think twice...Elder Sima, don't take risks!"

"I have made up my mind, please don't persuade me!"

Hearing that Da Sima was going to go there in person, the civil and military officials immediately panicked and tried their best to dissuade him, but Xiao Yi waved his hand slightly, and there was instant silence in the big tent!

People knew in their hearts that the decision made by Da Sima would never change. Since he wanted to go to Dongting Lake in person, it was useless to be persuaded by others!

Since persuasion is useless, the only option is to strengthen protection. Everyone once again suggested to Xiao Yi to bring more bodyguards in case something unexpected happens. Gao Shun even volunteered to bring the entire "trapped camp" to escort Da Sima across the river to appease him!

Xiao Yi was very grateful for everyone's kindness, but he didn't accept it. He just picked fifty soldiers and let Dian Wei be in charge of leading the team, and he didn't need any of the rest!

Xiao Yi understands very well that this trip to Dongting Lake water village to appease the 50 sailors in Jingzhou is tantamount to going deep into the caves of dragons and tigers. No matter if you bring 500 people, 5000 people, or [-] people... it will not change the "people are swords, I am fish" Reality!

That being the case, why not just bring 50 people and take care of the daily life personally, and let the Jingzhou navy take a good look at the courage and courage of the ghost face Xiao Lang, which is even more shocking!

Taking a step back, if there is an accident in recruiting, when it is really dangerous, it is much easier for fifty people to escape than five hundred or five thousand people!

Of course, Xiao Yi is not stupid. Knowing that this trip is full of dangers, how can he be unprepared? He asked everyone to retreat first, leaving only Jia Xu and Feng Ji whispering in the back tent, and confessed a few things , to help him recruit successfully!

"Report! - The messenger has returned, bringing a fleet of Jingzhou ships, saying that they are to welcome the special envoy across the river and discuss matters of appeasement!"

After the arrangement was completed, the other party also responded. After discussing with Cai Hao and Zhang Yun, they did not dare to come to the north bank of the river. Instead, they sent [-] fast boats and [-] sailors to invite the special envoy of Cao Ying to go, and the leader of the army was Cai Zhong, Cai He!

"Congratulations to Da Sima--successfully recruited and returned in triumph!"

"Everyone sit in the camp, and I will return in three days!"

Chapter 1251 Yunmeng Daze, recruiting the navy

Good river wind, rush this light boat,

Overturning the waves, adding a bit of ambition and pride,

There is nothing to be afraid of in the dragon's den and the tiger's lair, the swords and halberds are fighting for a long time,

It's not that Xiao Lang despises the heroes, a "Spring and Autumn" remembers-peace wars and chaos, and bring peace to the common people!

..............................

On the broad water surface of the Yangtze River, with the help of the strong northwest wind, a fleet of ships is advancing rapidly - overcoming obstacles and choppy waves. The first is a three-storey ship, which is seven feet long and three feet wide, and can carry hundreds of people. , and both offensive and defensive, like a water fortress!

On the podium on the third floor, Xiao Yi was wearing a black battle robe and a red cloak. Looking at the surging river from a distance, and watching the fish swimming in groups up close, he sang the famous tune with great emotion... His voice was rich and melodious, like an iron horse and gold Ge!

Originating from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau - the Tanggula Mountains, the Yangtze River flows through the three prefectures of Yi, Jing and Yang, and dozens of counties and counties. Along the way, it gathers more than 700 tributaries, with a total length of more than 1 miles, and finally flows into the East China Sea. !

On both banks of the Yangtze River - the land is fertile and the irrigation is convenient. There is a "Land of Abundance" in the upper reaches and a "Land of Fish and Rice" in the middle reaches. Countless people have been raised and countless stories have been left behind. It can be said that the Chinese nation originated from the Yellow River. Prosperous in the Yangtze River!

Xiao Yi was born in the imperial capital and grew up in the north in his previous life. He has seen countless mountains, hills, and grasslands, but he never had the chance to swim thousands of miles along the Yangtze River. Now that he has a good opportunity, he will naturally feast his eyes!

Xiao Yi ascended the heights to face the wind and enjoy the scenery of the river, and the people on and off the building and boats all stretched their necks and widened their eyes, staring at this 'No.1 general in the world, and also the number one killer in the world! '

Cai Zhong and Cai He were also on the podium, but they took seven or eight steps back, arched their waists, bowed their heads, glanced up from time to time, and then quickly moved their eyes away, for fear that they would suffer from heart pain if they watched too much. Can't jump out!

Regarding the matter of appeasement, several meetings were held within the Jingzhou navy to guess who would be the special envoy to come to Dongting Lake water village, and what method should be used to strive for the greatest benefit!

Some people speculated that it was Jiang Gan and Mi Heng, who were eloquent debaters, some speculated that it was Wenpin and Fu Zhuan who surrendered from Jingzhou, and some people speculated that Cao Cao would send a clan general, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, etc., to show The sincerity of appeasement!
