Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

"Soldiers, let's hold on, I will take you out!"

Cao Ang hurriedly asked: "Mr. Feng Xiao, what should we do, the water level has receded, and the opponent does not intend to surrender, should we attack hard?"

"Hard work?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Just now when the soldiers came to report that the [-] troops from Zushui blocked the river, they were dispersed by the opponent's cavalry. The opponent must have blocked the river."

"If we send another army to open the river..."

Guo Jia looked at Cao Ang and smiled, Cao Ang couldn't help shivering, who is the general in command, isn't he helping himself.

Cao Ang looked at Xia Houde and said, "Brother, lightly light up [-] cavalrymen to destroy that Yuan army, and then open the river."

"promise!"

After Xia Houde left, Guo Jia asked his soldiers to start to retreat. As long as the water level rises again, it will be the end of Yan Liang.

"General, look at them withdrew!"

Yan Liang's soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the fireboat just now cost them 2000 people, overall, these losses were nothing, and there were not many people washed away by the water.

Just as the water level receded by half, suddenly, there was another rumbling sound.

When Yan Liang saw the turbulent river in the south, his heart was completely cold.

"Quick, go back!"

Yan Liang's army was besieged in the water for two days, during which they were burned to death by Cao Jun's fire boats.

On the third day, of Yan Liang's 8000 to [-] troops, there were only more than [-] left. Fortunately, the river blocked downstream was overwhelmed and was directly washed away.

After the water level receded again, Yan Liang looked at his soldiers with tired faces. The limited space on the hill did not allow them to lie down and sleep.

Xiahoudun shouted: "Yan Liang, your soldiers have lost their fighting power. Stop fighting trapped beasts. Putting down your weapons is your best choice."

Yan Liang sighed, looked at Guo Tu and asked, "Sir, you and I are sorry for the great trust of the lord!"

Guo Tu said dejectedly: "It's up to man to make things happen. You and I have done our best. I think my lord will understand us."

"lay down your weapon!"

Yan Liang shouted loudly, and the soldiers under his command dropped their weapons one after another. They sat down on the ground, and some even lay down in the mud and fell asleep.

Having not closed their eyes for two days made them already exhausted, their weapons had already been thrown away, so they just let themselves sleep for a while, they would never carry themselves to the city.

Zang Ba smiled and said: "General Yan, the food in our country of Wei is still delicious!"

Guo Jia ordered: "Prepare some food for these soldiers!"

Chapter 363 Yuan Liusun attempted to form an alliance against Cao

Xiangyang City, Jingzhou, above Liu Biao's palace.

Kuai Liang said cautiously: "Your Majesty, envoys from Yuan Shu and Sun Ce are asking to see you!"

"Ok?"

Liu Biao looked at Kuai Liang weakly, why did the envoys of Yuan Shu and Sun Ce come to him, and they still came together.

Kuai Yue said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the two sent envoys here is mostly for the merger of Cao Shuo and Cao Cao. They cannot face Cao Shuo's army alone, and they may want to join our army."

Liu Biao said out of breath: "Among the princes in the world, there are not many who can compete with Cao Shuo. Although we are sitting in the land of Jingxiang and have the natural danger of the Yangtze River, Cao Shuo will be able to break through the blockade of the Yangtze River sooner or later. It is not impossible for people to unite.”

After a while, Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu's envoy, and Yan Qian, Sun Ce's envoy, walked in together.

Liu Biao asked, "What are the two envoys talking about here?"

The two looked at each other, and Yan Xiang said: "My family, King Chen, heard that you and Liu Yan will inherit the Han Dynasty together, and sent me to support you. Then Liu Yan has not asked about the Central Plains in Yizhou, so he has no right to inherit the Han Dynasty. .”

Liu Biao was overjoyed and asked, "Yuan Gonglu wants to attach himself to me?"

Yan Xiang rolled his eyes, what the hell are you thinking, we are just in solidarity, do you not understand what solidarity means?

If you want us to be attached to you, we don't want to see if you have that ability. Our strength is not weaker than yours at all, okay?

"That's not the case, we just want to cooperate with Han, not to seek refuge!"

Liu Biao looked at Yan Xiang with disappointment, and was very happy. He thought Yuan Shu was going to take refuge in him.

Cai Mao asked, "Since this is the case, what benefits can we get?"

Yan Xiang was speechless, have you never seen the world, or have you stayed in this place of Jingxiang for too long, and feel that you are superior to others.

He felt that it was necessary to make some serious news in order to let the other party understand their situation.

"The good thing is that if Cao Shuo dies for a few more years, we can still steal Wei's land."

"What did you say?" Liu Biao's veins popped out of anger, is this bastard cursing himself to die early?

Yan Xiang explained coldly: "Cao Shuo is now sitting in the four big prefectures of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou. If we don't join forces to fight, I'm afraid we will be defeated one by one, even if Jingzhou is far away from Cao Shuo. , that won’t last for a few years.”

Cai Mao said with a sneer: "Our Han army is strong and strong, and the navy..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Yan on the side interrupted him, and said with a sneer: "If you don't recognize your own strength, you will suffer a loss sooner or later. Previously, Wenpin's [-] army was defeated by Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was kicked out by Cao Cao." You are like a bereaved dog, and you dare not pant loudly when you see Cao Shuo, with your strength, how dare you say that the army is strong and horses are strong?"

Cai Mao said angrily: "Bastard, throw him out!"

I didn't expect that someone would dare to contradict him in public in the Han Dynasty, and I was really impatient.

Kuai Yue dissuaded him and said: "General, don't be angry. Although Yan Jian's words are harsh, they are all true. Our army is indeed not as strong as Cao Shuo. We must pay attention to this point."

Kuai Yue cursed Cai Mao thousands of times in his heart, there must be a limit to his arrogance, Cao Shuo is definitely not one of them who can fight alone, they must unite to survive.

Han Song reminded: "Yin Kui of Zhen's Chamber of Commerce has cooperated with our army many times and brought us many war horses. If we turn against Cao Shuo, what should we do with the war horse business in the future?"

Yan Jian said: "There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Our army ignores past suspicions and is willing to cooperate with Han. Why can't Han cooperate with Qin regardless of past suspicions?"

Cooperate with Qin?

Liu Biao's face turned black, and he stole the world of our surname Liu, and he still expects us to cooperate?

Cai Mao sneered and said, "Dong Zhuo killed His Majesty the Han Dynasty, how can we cooperate with such villains?"

Yan Yan glanced at Cai Mao disdainfully, and said, "Dong Zhuo stole the country and made Jing Sheng the emperor. You should thank Dong Zhuo. Now that you are hypocritical, will it be useful when you face Cao Shuo's army?"

Cai Hao just wanted to defend himself, but Yan Yan said again: "You listened to the slander and mistakenly thought that the father of King Wu got the jade seal and killed him in the land of Jingxiang. Our army did not come to avenge you. How can a Dong Zhuo be counted?" what happened."

Cai Mao said: "Sun Ce personally led an army of tens of thousands to attack Kuaiji. Unexpectedly, he was beaten by Tang Mao's subordinate Huang Zhong, who lost his helmet and armor, and lost his troops and generals. Huang Zhong was just a small Zhonglang general in Jingzhou. , dare to attack me, Jing Xiang, with such strength?"

The battle of Kuaiji became a black spot that Sun Ce couldn't erase. He lost two generals, even lost his uncle in Kuaiji, and pretended to be the little overlord of Jiangdong.

Yan Jian was not angry, and explained calmly: "Huang Zhong is a powerful general in the world. For some reason, he took refuge in Cao Shuo?"

Cai Mao said disdainfully: "Hmph, what a powerful general in the world is just an unknown person with a high self-esteem."

Yan Jian said: "I am here today to promote an alliance, not to bicker, whether I am a fierce general in the world or an unknown person, General Cai, you should ask General Wenpin, the number one fierce general in the Han Dynasty, instead of questioning me. .”

"you……"

Cai Mao's face turned pale with anger, when Huang Zhong went to Jizhou, Liu Biao sent Wen Pin and Gan Ning to intercept him, but he didn't expect Wen Pin to be beaten up by Huang Zhong's inconspicuous man, who was powerless to fight back.

"That's enough, Cao Shuo can't be defeated by bickering."

Chapter 364 Liu Bei is also a villain, we have to beware

Yan Xiang said: "Our great enemy is Cao Shuo, internal fighting will only make us perish faster, let's discuss how to send troops to deal with Cao Shuo and Cao Cao."

The conflict between Liu Biao and the Sun family has not lasted for a day or two. Since Sun Jian was the prefect of Changsha, the two have had many conflicts.

They, Chen Guoke, are still in crisis, how can they play tricks here, they have to persuade Liu Biao to send troops.

Kuai Yue looked at Yan Xiang and said, "It's not impossible for us to send troops, but Yuan Shu's situation is critical now, if there is no benefit, we will not send troops so easily."

Yan Xiang narrowed his eyes, this old fox actually blatantly wanted to take advantage of them, but there was no way.

"We are willing to provide 100 million shi of grain and grass, of which 50 shi is your thank you for sending troops to attack Runan from Jiangxia, and the other 50 shi of grain and grass. We want Liu Bei to attack Yingchuan from Nanyang County to contain Cao Cao."

Liu Biao looked horrified, so much?

Of course, his worth is not for himself, but for Liu Bei.

The 100 million stones are divided equally between them, why should Liu Bei be divided equally?How can he share with himself equally.

Liu Biao's heart was extremely unbalanced, and Liu Biao's ministers were also very unbalanced, dividing the yarn equally.

General Cai Hao said: "Then you can transport all the food and grass to us. Some time ago, we had some unpleasantness with Liu Bei. It happened that we borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to ease the conflict between the two sides."

Yan Xiang thought about it, and thought it was right, after all, they were all alliances, not to mention that Liu Bei was in Nanyang, and their food and grass could not be transported there.

It’s okay to help them. After all, the time for cooperation is still long in the future. Liu Biao doesn’t have any great generals under him. Liu Bei is a big help. Liu Biao should be able to distinguish which is more important.

Yan Jian said: "In order to show the sincerity of the alliance, we decided to withdraw the troops who entered Changsha. In addition, we heard that Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao, is attacking Xuzhou. We are willing to send troops to Guangling County in Xuzhou to attack Cao Cao's rear."

After the three families discussed, Liu Biao sent the two envoys away to discuss with the ministers how to attack Runan County.

Cai Mao suggested: "Your Majesty, the reliability of the alliance needs to be tested. We should enter the army after receiving the food and grass."

Yuan Shu is not a person who keeps promises, and he is afraid that after they send troops, Yuan Shu will use various excuses to fail to fulfill their promises, making it hard for them to get off.

Kuai Liang agreed: "The general is right. We must see the food and grass before we can act. When Yuan Shu participated in the [-]th princes' bid for Dong, he used various excuses to not distribute food and grass to the princes. We must not go to I was fooled by Yuan Gonglu."

Liu Biao nodded and said, "Then if Yuan Shu brings the grain and grass, who should we send to attack Runan County?"

Huang Zu was directly ignored by him, because his ability is not enough to fight against Cao Cao's generals, and if he goes, he will die, and he still has to choose from among the generals under his command.

Fu Xun suggested: "Your Majesty, I think General Wenpin is suitable. We will send troops together with Liu Bei. There is no need to be wary for the time being. General Wenpin is useless staying in the camp in the south of the Yangtze River."

"No!" Kuai Liang hurriedly stopped him: "Liu Bei is a villain, we have to be careful."

Cai Mao said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu Pan is brave and good at fighting, and his valor is extraordinary. He will definitely be qualified for this task. Let Deng Xi and Wang Wei assist you, and Master Zirou will provide advice and advice. Runan is nothing to worry about."

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue's faces turned livid, but there was nothing they could do. Liu Biao's subordinates were the only ones who could give advice.

Kuai Yue suggested: "Cao Cao has a lot of strong generals under his command. I'm afraid the three generals may not be able to resist. It's better to let Cai Zhong, Cai He and the two generals go together."

Cai Zhong and Cai He scolded the eighteenth generation of Kuai Yue's ancestors in their hearts, this bastard is really hateful.

"Your Majesty, I'll wait..."

Before Cai Zhong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Biao, "Cai Zhong, Cai and you must work together with Pan'er to share my worries."

"This……"

The two looked at Cai Mao begging for help, but Cai Mao didn't seem to see it. He had already tied Liu Pan and Kuai Liang to the chariot. If he pleaded for his brother, it would be a bit unjustifiable.

Liu Biao saw that the two looked embarrassed, and he didn't intend to comfort him. He looked at Liu Pan and said, "Pan'er, it's no problem to give you [-] soldiers and horses. There are many rivers and lakes in Jingxiang, and horses are not very useful. There are fifteen thousand cavalry, you take them all away."

Liu Biao was very satisfied with Liu Pan as his adoptive son. He didn't want Liu Qi to be so cowardly, but it was a pity that he was not his own son. Otherwise, he would feel at ease if the country of Han was entrusted to him.

Liu Pan said solemnly: "Thank you, my father, my son will be able to take down Runan within half a month, and fulfill my father's great trust."

"Okay, with my son's words, I feel relieved!"

Cai Mao glanced at Liu Pan disdainfully. Sooner or later, my nephew Liu Cong will own the country of Han. If you try to snatch it from our Cai family, you will die miserably.

Liu Qi was addicted to wine and sex, and his health was not much better than Liu Biao's. Mrs. Cai's son was extremely important.

Despite his young age, he still has a chance.

As long as the Cai family controls the army, no one can take away the future position of the dragon chair.

Chapter 365 Food fell from the sky, Liu Bei was overjoyed

"Report!"

"Your Majesty sent [-] shi of food and grass, saying that he wants to reconcile with the lord and send troops to deal with Cao Cao."

Liu Bei was stunned, what is the situation.

As soon as Wenpin was cleaned up, Liu Biao sent someone to bring food and grass. Is it so bad to clean up?

Du Xi analyzed: "My lord, I think Liu Biao wants to take advantage of Cao Cao's crusade against Yuan Shu, Runan has no heavy guards, and wants to take advantage of the opportunity, and he has no generals under his command, so he wants to let the lord go with him." .”

Liu Bei said with a depressed face, "Then do we agree or disagree?"

Du Xi thought for a while and said, "Of course we must agree. There is no reason why the grain and grass are not delivered. We can completely fool Liu Biao."

"Military division made it clearer." Liu Bei looked at Du Xi in puzzlement.

"In the letter, Liu Biao said that we should send troops to Yingchuan to contain Lu Qian and Mao Jie in Yingchuan. We can completely let Wei Yan send troops to Wuyang, and then stop the advance on the grounds of insufficient troops."

"The military master's plan is very suitable for me!"
