[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

Tonight, with the stars fading and the moon in the sky, a gray pigeon flying back from Yizhou, thousands of miles away, spread its wings under the moonlight, and finally landed on the slender hand by the tent window.He took out the note from the small wooden tube on the pigeon's leg.

Waving the pigeons to leave, he walked up to Cao Cao and handed the note to Cao Cao:

"Pang Tong is dead."

"Feng Xiao once told Gu that when Pang Tong decided to stay under Liu Bei's tent, the outcome was settled. Liu Zhang was afraid that he would become Lu Bu and Yuan Shao, so he dared not do nothing." Cao Cao put the note on the candle, and the orange The flames followed the trend and devoured the note in an instant, "But Gu is very curious, why Feng Xiao is sure that Pang Shiyuan knew it was a situation, and would willingly die."

"Because this is a conspiracy." Guo Jia's eyes darkened with a smile, "The two incidents of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei being killed by the enemy are more or less related to Kong Ming. From Pang Shiyuan's point of view, although Liu Bei is still rational and will not anger Kong Ming because of the death of his brother, but when Liu Bei establishes a firm foothold in Yizhou in the future, he may not bring up the old matter again. He is so considerate of Kong Ming Liu Bei must firmly remember that Liu Xuande also owes Kong Ming something at this moment..." At this point, he saw Cao Cao's unretractable finger being flicked by the fire, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and his voice paused.

"What's wrong?" Cao Cao asked.

"Cough, it's okay." Guo Jia coughed lightly, sat down and continued, "In short, Pang Tong is a person who knows the intention of the monarch and his ministers to deceive each other. If there is no debt, there will be no friendship, and if there is no friendship, there will be no monarch and minister; If there is a debt, there must be resentment on one side, and the only way to owe each other is the best strategy."

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help sighing: "Pang Shiyuan offered advice to Gu on that day, and Gu only thought he had the heart to make contributions. I didn't expect him to have such a deep friendship with Zhuge Liang. Those who value love and righteousness will eventually die for love and righteousness. The fate of the time also."

However, after seeing a lot of life and death, Cao Cao couldn't say how sad he was after sighing.He scanned the bamboo slips on the case with his fingers, and finally stopped at the two scrolls on the far left, picked them up and put them in front of Guo Jia, "Guess Feng Xiao, what is written here?"

Guo Jia thought about it for a few seconds, then said with a broken face, "It must be someone who knows the current affairs and surrendered to Ming Gong."

"That's right." Cao Cao nodded.It was expected with Guo Jia's intelligence, but rather than telling Guo Jia directly, he just likes to see Guo Jia's cunning appearance, like a treasure, "Zhang Lu has occupied Hanzhong for many years, and the Wudou Rice Cult he founded has many believers. , the people under the rule can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment, so they have the confidence to attack Yizhou. But in terms of prosperity, Hanzhong and Yizhou are only close to each other, and Liu Zhang has more helpers like Liu Bei. It is expected that Zhang Lu will be uneasy and surrender to Gu.

What is interesting is this document sent from Yizhou.Liu Zhang also surrendered to Gu, and was willing to donate soldiers from the three eastern counties of Yizhou to fight against Zhang Lu. "

If Liu Bei had already led troops into Yizhou in order to fight against Zhang Lu, why bother to borrow troops from Cao Cao.Even if Cao Cao is willing to borrow, the land of Sichuan and Shu is full of natural dangers, and when the soldiers arrive, we don't know when it will be.I'm afraid that Liu Zhang's move was false by borrowing troops, but it was true to use Cao Cao's hand to deter Liu Bei.Only by letting Liu Bei always remember that without Liu Zhang's protection, he would have died under Cao Cao's sword, can he use it smoothly.As for the current rival Zhang Lu, this letter can also be used to make Cao Cao hesitate. If he hesitates, he may remain neutral. In this way, Zhang Lu without foreign aid cannot last for many days.

Those who come up with this plan must have an exquisite mind.It seems that incompetent Liu Zhang also has talented people under his command, so he should check it out.

"Jia thinks, it is better for both parties to agree, Duke Ming." Guo Jia said, "For Zhang Lu, Duke Ming can send soldiers who are currently farming in Guanzhong to help. As for Liu Zhang... just agree, and don't need to send troops."

"Guzheng has this intention." Cao Cao said, "However, if Gu just let Liu Bei go like this, is it letting the tiger go back to the mountain again?"

Guo Jia asked back: "Duke Ming and Jia have wasted so much thought these days, isn't it just to let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed at the same time, their hearts were all connected.

Compared with Liu Zhang, who was huddled behind the natural dangers of Sichuan and Shu, Liu Bei, who is still aiming at the world, is more worth looking forward to

I hope that he will die in a cocoon by virtue of Yizhou Tianfu.

The two documents were finished quickly, Cao Cao called soldiers, and rushed to send the documents to Hanzhong and Yizhou respectively.After dealing with the business, Cao Cao remembered that there are other things that have been haunting his mind for a few days, and he wanted to ask Guo Jia:

"Feng Xiao, is that fan still on you?"

Guo Jia blinked and asked, "There are too many fans in Jia's hands, which one did Ming Gong ask?"

"The only one who knows Gu's will is Feng Xiaoer. Feng Xiao knows which one Gu is talking about."

When Cao Cao said this, the phoenix's eyes were smiling as always towards the closest person, but Guo Jia felt terrified.Escaping Cao Cao's eyes, Guo Jia seemed to suddenly realize: "Oh, what Minggong said was about the inscription, why did Minggong suddenly ask about that fan?"

"Because as far as Gu knows, Feng Xiao will never leave his body without that fan." At this time, Cao Cao's hand has already touched Guo Jia's slender neck, the palm is warm, and the calloused fingertips slipped over the place. Leaving an inch of numbness, "However, when I undressed Fengxiao to take a bath alone, I didn't see it in Fengxiao's clothes."

Undress?take a bath?

Guo Jia suddenly thought of this, and secretly thought that he had miscalculated.When chasing Liu Bei that day, he was soaked by the heavy rain. After returning to the camp, he had a fever as expected, and his whole body was weak. Clothes to take a bath, he hooked Cao Cao's neck in a hurry out of instinct...

After waiting until later, he was so exhausted that he didn't have the energy to cover up the fan.

Coveting beauty is indeed a mistake!

"Jia... gave it away."

"Who did you send it to?"

"Kong...cough, Zhuge Kongming."

"I just remember, that fan should be given to my sweetheart." Sensing Guo Jia's intention to back off, Cao Cao took the other hand to wrap around Guo Jia's waist, and his eyes became even more playful, "What I don't remember is When did Feng Xiao and Zhuge Kongming have such a deep affection?"

Seeing that the escape route was also blocked by Cao Cao's powerful arm, Guo Jia felt more and more like a prey that had fallen into the tiger's mouth. The tiger eats and wipes itself dry, nothing else.

Since there is no way to retreat, then there is no retreat.

"Minggong."

Guo Jia suddenly made a sound, which made Cao Cao stunned for a moment.He had heard Guo Jia say this title countless times, either with respect or closeness, but at this time, he was full of charming luster.When the clear voice was deliberately lowered, even if it was just two words, Cao Cao's mind was hooked the moment it was read by thin lips.And in the next second, the prey who was driven into a desperate situation turned his back on the guest, took the initiative to untie his hairband, and bullied him.

He gave a low laugh:

"Are you jealous?"

After the first stone was cast on the calm lake, the ripples spread round and round, intensified, and finally turned into a flame sweeping across the water.Just as Cao Cao wanted to stop the fire, Guo Jia pressed closer, leaned down, raised his head and kissed Cao Cao's neck.

The soul-stirring whispers continued to sound:

"If it's because of jealousy, now is the time of the day, Mr. Ming, you still have a lot of time to punish Jia."

When Guo Jia's white teeth nibbled on Cao Cao's Adam's apple, the string called reason finally broke completely.The original intention of Xingshi to inquire about the crime has long been burned to ashes, and Cao Cao himself willingly entered the fire.

It's really a mistake to be greedy for beauty.

However, I have traveled all over the mountains, rivers and rivers, seen the bright moon and stars, admired the blooming and withering of flowers, and eaten coarse tea and delicacies.Life is full of vicissitudes, time flies, looking back and looking at the bridge, there are thousands of scenery, and the pride and gentleness of the only one are the most touching.

What is human nature?

Only food and sex.

The joy of fish and water stops at the curtain, and the world is still full of wind and clouds.

Cao Zhang, the third son who Cao Cao placed high hopes on, really did not disappoint everyone. Until Cao Cao led the troops back to the camp, Jiangdong's army could not move forward, and even lost soldiers and horses repeatedly.The reasons are as follows: First, Cao Zhangzhi is brave and good at fighting, and he is not inferior to any fierce general. In addition, Xun You is assisting in the strategy, and the ordinary tricks have been seen before they are laid out; second, compared with Jiangdong, Cao Jun is on the defensive. In Shouyi, Xun You transferred the navy and frequently led Jiangdong across the river to fight on land. The Jiangdong army, which had lost its advantage, faced the experienced army.

In the Jiangdong camp, Sun Quan sat behind the chief seat, his eyes were full of exhaustion, he could tell he hadn't had a good rest for many days.He lowered his head and rubbed between his brows, and Lu Su's voice sounded in his ear:

"Since Cao Cao has already returned to camp, our army has just turned from attack to defense, and is waiting for action. Cao Cao will not be able to hold back when he breaks Liu Bei, and it will not be too late for our army to defeat Cao Cao by virtue of our superiority." , he looked at Sun Quan, and said in a gentle voice, "So don't worry too much, my lord, your body is important."

Sun Quan raised his head and smiled wearily at Lu Su, signaling him to rest assured, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.It was a pity that he failed to take this opportunity to defeat Cao Jun, but he didn't worry too much. Just as Lu Su said, as long as there is a natural moat in the Yangtze River, it will not be easy for Cao Jun to attack Jiangling County.What really gave him such a headache was the recent rumors in the military:

If the rebellious general and the great governor were here, they would definitely not lose consecutive battles.

When he first heard these words, he was embarrassed, followed by anger, but in the end, only a wry smile remained.

Yes, if the elder brother was here, not to mention losing, it would not be difficult for Cao Jun to flee in embarrassment like Chibi did in the past few years.Ever since he was a child, he has never met anyone more talented than his eldest brother. Even in a desperate situation, his eldest brother has the ability to fight against the odds to survive.The brightest brilliance, the most proud achievements, and the most amazing elegance in this world seem to be the luck that the eldest brother was born with, which is beyond the reach of others.

For Sun Ce, Sun Quan looks up to, envies, respects, and even... envies.

But in Sun Quan's city, he would neither express this emotion, nor would he take the initiative to do stupid things like fighting against the wall according to the enemy's wishes.Now that the news that his brother was not killed has already spread to everyone, he might as well make a decision before making a move and see how his brother will choose.

In this matter, he should switch from offense to defense, wait for action, and learn how to overcome Duan Yuyan like Zheng Zhuanggong.

Sun Quan lowered his brows and eyes, and when he raised them again, all the gloom had disappeared.Anyone who looks at it will only regard this as a refined and humble young man:

"Don't worry, Zijing, I'm clear about my lonely body. It's just that I haven't slept for a few hours recently, so it doesn't matter. It's a war..." He sighed softly, "If it is true as Zijing said, it will be fine."

As soon as the words came alive, Lu Meng strode into the tent and saluted with fists together:

"My lord, Cao Jun sent someone to send a letter of war!"

"This is really what you said. Cao Jun really couldn't hold back and sent troops first." Sun Quan said happily, "Zijing, how do you think Gu should deal with it now?"

Lu Su held his chin and pondered for a few seconds: "Whether Cao Jun will really go to war is not yet known, and whether it is a strategy to lure the enemy is also unknown. But as long as it is a water battle, our army does not need to worry...My lord, why not send generals to fight , to explore the truth."

"Okay." Sun Quan said, turning his head back to Lu Meng, "Since this is the case, Zi Ming, I will send you to lead the soldiers to board the boat and cross the river to find out the truth. If there is an enemy situation, you can only deal with it, not love to fight, and send people back immediately Camp report!"

"The last general takes orders!"

After ordering some details, Lu Meng took the order to leave, and Lu Su also? Brown charm? Muscle?br>

"Bo Yan, what's wrong?"

"It's not a problem, it's just..." Lu Xun moved his gaze outside the tent, his brows gradually furrowed

"On the river, it seems to be foggy."

There was indeed fog on the river, but for the Jiangdong Army, it was the right time.

At this time, the place where Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army confronted each other was in the area of ​​Santai Lake.There are many water systems here, with lakes, swamps, and turbulent currents scattered all over the place. Unless someone is very familiar with the water environment, it is not easy to cross the river and attack the other side.Cao Jun was able to take the initiative to fight this time, presumably because he had already recruited local sailors from Jingzhou, but when the fog came together, Cao Jun was beaten back to a disadvantage in an instant.

Only the Jiangdong army can pass through this road safely when the fog rises.

"Last time, it was Yunmeng's heavy fog that helped the general cut Guan Yu off his horse. It seems that this time, the heavy fog will help the general to make a contribution again."

The lieutenant general's jokes reached Lu Meng's ears. He smiled slightly and shook his head: "The two attacks are in different situations. My lord has already instructed Meng to focus on investigation in every possible way, not to love to fight, and Mengzi not to leave for meritorious service."

Compared with fighting, he is thinking more now, and it is more practical: the fog on the river, Jiangdong can rely on many years of experience to run wild, but Cao Jun is absolutely impossible. Under this obvious disadvantage, Cao Jun will continue to fight as stated in the war book. Do you mean aggressive?

Although even if Cao Jun retreated timidly, it would do no harm to them.But it was impossible to run this trip in vain without feeling a little depressed in my heart.

In the next few hours, Jiangdong's ships moved along the waterway, breaking through the layers of white mist on the river, but from the beginning to the end, except for a few scattered boats, they did not encounter any other aliens.

"Sure enough, what the general expected was true. With such a heavy fog, Cao Jun must have been scared out of his wits. He huddled in his tent and dared not come out!"

What the deputy general said made the soldiers laugh out loud, even Lu Meng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.It seems that although there was no real victory in this trip, it had the effect of boosting the morale of the army and boosting the morale.

"Notify the whole army, turn the bow and return to the camp!"

After giving the order, Lu Meng read Sun Quan's instructions, and sent small boats to follow the army to scout the enemy's situation in case Cao Jun made a sneak attack.It wasn't until the army returned to camp safely that he was completely relieved. He was convinced that Cao Jun really failed to steal the chicken and wrote down the gauntlet, but he didn't dare to send troops. A cowardice was defeated.

When Lu Su heard that Lu Meng had returned to the camp, he rushed to the big tent again, and after listening to Lu Meng's report with Sun Quan, he asked:

"The general went here, although he didn't meet Cao Jun, do you think there is anything wrong?"

Lu Meng thought for a while and said: "When Meng returned to the camp to count the soldiers, he did not see a few small boats following the large army ship. There were about two hundred people on board. I wonder if this is considered inappropriate?"

The fog on the river was thick, and the small boat was set up to guard against the enemy. It was not surprising that they could not catch up with the army and return to the camp in time, so when Lu Meng answered, his voice was not sure.After hearing this, Lu Su vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why. After thinking about it, he finally gave up and turned to Sun Quan and said what he thought was more important at the moment:

"My lord, Su just went back and thought about it carefully. Since our army has decided to wait for the attack with the defense and use the movement to control the static, it is better to be more thorough in terms of strategic arrangements. If Cao Jun sends another letter of war in the future, our army will only set up defenses on the river bank. If it is not a last resort, I will never send soldiers to attack like today, so that Cao Jun will have no chance to take advantage of it. What do you think, my lord?"

Nothing to take advantage of is nothing to take advantage of, but if you want to rely on a big victory to establish your prestige, there is still no way to take advantage of it.

There were thousands of twists and turns in his heart, but on the surface, Sun Quan just nodded and agreed in a gentle voice:

"Okay, just as Yi Zijing said."

The man in green shirt stood at the bow of the boat and threw a stone into the river.As far as he could see, several small boats in Jiangdong were surrounded by boats, unable to advance or retreat.

Sun Quan is a lord who accepts advice with an open mind, Lu Su is a cautious and considerate adviser, and Lu Meng is not a warlike and reckless man. With these three people, it is not easy to seize the flaws.Whenever something goes wrong, Jiangdong's army will retract all their hands and feet into the shell like a tortoise. No matter how strong the external force is, there is nothing they can do against the hard shell.

"Unfortunately, it's too late."
