Three Kingdoms: The Crown Prince of Wei, betrothed to Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Fan Cheng.

The city gate was wide open, and the defenders did not have any intention of struggling, and after the tiger and leopard horse arrived, they directly opened the city gate and surrendered.

The guards can't help, regardless of other things, just talking about the strength of the troops in the city, it is only to maintain public order, and there is no confidence in guarding at all.

The Jingzhou army was partially eliminated by Jiangdong, and part of it was taken away by Liu Qi, and the remaining small part was still in Xiangyang, where could Fan Cheng make up the defenders?

Cao Chong sat on the back of his horse, looked condescendingly at the subordinate general in front of him, and asked, "What about Liu Beiren?" "

"Go back to Gongzi and flee to Jiangxia."

"!" Cao Chun scolded, "Why don't you detain Liu Bei? "

"The general forgives the sin, the last general deserves to die!" The keeper can only ask for sin.

Liu Bei had a good reputation, and General Fan Chengshou did not want to be embarrassed, but on the contrary, he still gave Liu Bei some help within his ability.

"That's it." Cao Chong did not reprimand the guards and continued to ask, "Is surrender what you mean?" Or whose order? "

"Hui Gongzi, there are not enough troops in the city, and the last general has no ability to resist." The guard immediately said: "Earlier, Cai Yao also sent an order to lead the people of Jingzhou to surrender to the prime minister..."

"Huh? That's a great thing! Cao Chun's face showed surprise, and then he was worried: "Will there be fraud?" Jingzhou voted so quickly? "

"Don't worry, Jingzhou is really surrendering." Cao Chong was very determined.

Cao Chun was immediately at ease when he heard this, and he didn't even ask for any reason.

Since the eldest nephew said that he was sincere, it must be sincere, and at present, Cao Chun has reached the point of unconditional trust in Cao Chong.

"Send a message to the rear, our results will stop here, and Jingzhou will definitely not surrender until we see Awen." Cao Chong said.

If you want to vote for the big brother, Cao Cao is the first choice of the other party, and there is no reason to surrender others.

"Enough! That's enough! Cao Chun said with satisfaction: "Break the enemy by 10,000, take Xinye and Fancheng, and bring back the good news of surrender, our vanguard is almost the main force!" "

"This trip to Jingzhou, the military merit is all "097" ours! Run all white in the back. "

Cao Chun is right in saying this, Cai Yao directly surrendered to Cao Cao, and the military generals in the rear definitely did not have any military merits, even if they ran with nothing, they did not play any role, and naturally they could not talk about military merit.

All the credit for this battle was pocketed by the vanguard army.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Cao Chong shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm going to be jealous again." "

Cao Chun smiled and did not choose to answer, because he understood who Cao Chong was talking about, and he was not good at interjecting about this.

"Into town." Cao Chong directly ordered, "Bring the people of Xinye to Fancheng to settle down, and then wait for the prime minister to lead the main force to come." "

Xu Du.

Compared to the vanguard army that arrived in Fancheng, the speed of the large army was much slower, and it was still in the territory of Yuzhou at the moment.

"Hahaha~~~" A burst of maniacal laughter came out, as if the roof was about to be lifted.

After receiving the notice, Zhong Wenwu rushed to see Cao Cao sitting on the main throne, laughing all the time.

"Master, what happy event has this been?" Guo Jia couldn't help asking.

Hearing Guo Jia's inquiry, Cao Cao stopped.

After looking around the hall and finding that everyone had almost arrived, he said, "Good news! "

"The vanguard army has just returned with good news, Yu Xinye broke Liu Bei's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and occupied Xinye and Fancheng."

"Hey!"

"That's great news."

"Win the victory and win the opening for the army."

For a time, everyone was talking about it, and they couldn't hide their joy.

Of course, there is an exception to a small group of people, naturally Cao Pi and the others.

Seeing Cao Chong win the battle was more uncomfortable than losing the battle themselves.

"Gongzi doesn't have to worry." Sima Yi persuaded in a low voice: "It's just a small victory, Jingzhou still has six county territory, there is a chance for us to make meritorious achievements, and the water battle is the most important thing." "

"Zhongda is right." Cao Pi nodded slightly, feeling a little more comfortable in his heart.

"Gongzi and rest assured." Yu Ban on the side also whispered: "After the water battle, it will definitely not be a shame for Gongzi." "

"I naturally believed in the general." A smile appeared on Cao Pi's face.

However, when everyone quieted down, Cao Cao threw out another shocking news.

"It's not over yet." The corners of Cao Cao's mouth were harder to suppress than AK, and he said excitedly: "Cangshu also came with news that Liu Biao is dead, his youngest son Liu Jun has taken the throne, Cai Yao has monopolized power, and wants to surrender to us, hahaha~"

As Cao Cao spoke, he couldn't help but start laughing maniacally again, and the joy in his heart was indescribable.

This is a state!

A whole Jingzhou wants to surrender en masse, which is not to mention how refreshing.

Cao Cao has fought for so many years, and he has never encountered it.

In the past, at most one or a few cities surrendered, and a state surrendered en masse, which was indeed the first time.

Like pie in the sky, feeding Cao Cao directly into his mouth, can Cao Cao not grin?

"Buzz..."

As Cao Cao's words fell, everyone below directly fried the pan.

"Heavens! Actually surrendered? "

"Really fake?"

"All Jingzhou surrendered?!"

The crowd was first in disbelief, followed by surprise.

The army had just arrived in Xudu, and the entire Jingzhou war was about to end, which was incredible.

Cao Pi's expression was stiff and he looked very strange.

Jingzhou surrendered, which was undoubtedly a good thing, and Cao Pi should naturally laugh.

But he really couldn't laugh, and the expression on his face was very distorted.

Just now, I was still talking about what water war is the most important thing, and there are opportunities to make meritorious contributions.

Snap ~ It's all over, there's nothing.

Cao Chong led the vanguard army and did everything he could.

Now wait for Cao Cao to pass, and then easily take over Jingzhou, this southern expedition will be over.

Cao Pi was enthusiastic to go out with the army, and also took Yu Ban under his command, and prepared to do a big job, and he wanted to make military merits and compete with Cao Chong.

Now there is no need to compare, Cao Chong led the vanguard army to complete victory, and did not even give Cao Pi a chance to make meritorious achievements, which is equivalent to Cao Pi running upside down and not getting any benefits.

"Summons." Cao Cao's loud voice sounded, "The army is rushing to Jingzhou quickly. "

Cao Cao did not intend to withdraw the army, but still insisted on pressing the army, after all, Cao Cao could not go to Jingzhou alone to accept the surrender, which was undoubtedly looking for death.

The reason why the other side would surrender was because they were afraid of Cao Cao's powerful force.

If he gave up his force and went to Jingzhou, Cai Yao might have a different mind.

"Obey!"

The discussion dispersed, and everyone began to get busy and ready to go.

Cao Pi left with a heavy face, and the group quickly followed, returning to the residence to hold a small council.

The entire territory of Jingzhou surrendered, and this sudden situation caught the entire small group by surprise.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, this time Cao Zhi did not come.

In addition, there were Cao Pi's four friends, plus one Yu Ban, and nine people gathered together.

"It's not good." Yu Ban worriedly spoke, "Jingzhou surrenders, the water army is not useless." "

At present, Yu Ban's interests highly overlapped with Cao Pi.

As the leader of the water army, when there is a water war situation, Yu Ban's right to speak will be infinitely amplified.

Now that Jingzhou has surrendered, the trained water army is useless, and Yu Forbidden is not used, and there is not even a chance to make meritorious achievements.

From the excavation of the Xuanwu Pool to the expedition, he was full of ambition and worked hard for so long, but in the end it became an empty battle, and no one would be willing.

"So what to do?" Cao Pi was a little embarrassed, "You can't help but surrender, right?" "

The small group was helpless, and in the end, everyone's eyes fell on Sima Yi, who was the absolute wisdom of this group.

When Sima Yi saw everyone coming over, he did not immediately speak, but fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, everyone did not urge, and patiently waited for Sima Yi to think of countermeasures.

After a long while, Sima Yi spoke faintly and said, "It's not completely out of chance. "

"Zhongda really has a way, talk quickly!" Cao Pi couldn't help but urge.

"Although Jingzhou has surrendered, there are other places that have not yet been captured." Sima Yi said slowly: "The water army is not useless, on the contrary, there is still a place to use it later. "

"Zhongda means... Koto! Yu Ban was the first to react.

"That's right." Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "The army is dispatched, although it does not cost a single soldier to take Jingzhou, but it is all coming, and there are enough food and grass troops, why not attack Jiangdong with the trend?" (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

"Prime Minister Cheng is determined to be in the world, and Jingzhou is upstream, if you persuade Prime Minister Cheng to attack Jiangdong, there must be a great opportunity!"

"In this way, Gongzi still has a chance, and General Yu Ban can also lead the water army to fight."

"Zhongda is right!" Cao Pi clapped his hands excitedly, "Against Jiangdong, it must be a water battle first, and the tiger and leopard rider has no chance to play." "

"Then how do you convince the prime minister?" Yu Ban couldn't help but ask, "Whether or not to attack Jiangdong depends entirely on the attitude of Prime Minister Cheng. "

"Simple." Sima Yi spoke: "This time the main army has not achieved a single inch, and the generals accompanying them must be unwilling and eager to make meritorious achievements. "

"General Yu Ban is responsible for persuading military generals with foreign surnames."

"Ziwen and Zidan, a few generals, go and chat with the Zongmuro martial generals."

"The intention doesn't need to be too obvious, just stop there." Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "At that time, all the generals want to attack Jiangdong, and the attitude of the prime minister will also be influenced. "

Taking advantage of the generals' earnest mentality, so as to make the generals reach an agreement, and then influence Cao Cao's mind, Sima Yi's strategy was very ingenious.

"That's it!" Cao Pi said in a deep voice, "I will definitely let my father go to Jiangdong." "

With Cao Chong once again making great achievements, Cao Pi could not be said to be completely unable to sit still.

If Jingzhou is taken and the army is withdrawn and Yecheng is restored, the year will almost pass again.

By then, Cao Cao would be one year older, while Cao Chong would be another year stronger.

After this year, Cao Chong will be fourteen years old and fifteen years old.

With Cao Chong's childlike performance, skipping the hair bundle and directly reaching the crown is not impossible, which means that Cao Chong is officially an adult.

At that time, even if Cao Cao has no idea for the time being, I am afraid that the ministers will advise Cao Cao to establish an heir first to avoid any accidents.

In case Cao Cao suddenly gags one day, he will not be caught off guard, after all, Cao Cao's age is here.

Thinking about Cao Chong's outstanding battle exploits, and then look at his own mediocrity.

Cao Pi is useless except for the identity of the eldest son.

Therefore, Cao Pi is now very eager for battle merits, and does not seek to surpass Cao Chong, at least he cannot be pulled too far away, lest the battle of heirs lose suspense.

Cao Pi was more eager to start a war against Jiangdong than anyone, and only by fighting Jiangdong would he have the opportunity to make a contribution.

The army set out from Xudu and quickly headed towards Jingzhou.........

At the same time, Yu Ban, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhen and others also looked for opportunities to chat with other military generals during the march, intentionally or unintentionally mentioning Jiangdong.

Natsukou.

"Uncle! Uncle! "

After Liu Qi saw Liu Bei, he stepped forward excitedly, knelt down in front of Liu Bei and cried bitterly.

"Gongzi hurry up." Liu Bei also quickly knelt down.

"Uncle~" Liu Qi burst into tears, "My father is critically ill, and my nephew returned to Xiangyang to visit, then Cai Yao didn't let me enter the city and drove me back to Jiangxia, I don't know how my father is now..."

"Alas~" Liu Bei sighed, "Brother Jing Sheng has... has passed away, Gongzi still asks for mourning. "

"Huh...?" Liu Qi suddenly heard the bad news, and his expression was stunned, obviously unable to accept it.

"Gongzi, that Cai Yao does not allow you to enter the city, it must be worried that you will inherit the family business." Zhuge Liang said on the side: "Now Cai Yao has paid your brother to take the throne, and he wants to surrender Cao Thief with the entire Jingzhou. "

"Cai Yao dog thief!" Liu Qi gritted his teeth and cursed, "My father treated him well, but he didn't expect that just after he passed away, Cai Yao would surrender, how dare he?!" "

"This is not the place to talk, let's go into the city and talk about it." Zhuge Liang suggested.

With that, the group returned to the city.

"Dare to ask Gongzi, what is the situation on Jiangxia's side, and how many troops do you still have?"

After everyone took their seats, Zhuge Liang went straight to the topic and asked questions.

"Only Xiakou is still in the hands of Jiangxia's side, and the Jiangdong side has not withdrawn." Liu Qi continued: "But after the news of Cao Cao's southern expedition, it was convenient to stop attacking, as if waiting for something. "

"As for the strength I have in my hands, there are still 20,000 Jingzhou sailors and 500 warships."

"What about grain and grass?" Zhuge Liang asked again.

"It can last for a year."

Everyone was relieved when they heard this, Liu Qi's side was still very powerful.

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang sent Liu Qi to Jiangxia, originally thinking that he would take advantage of the emptiness of Xiangyang and let Liu Bei take the opportunity to seize Jingzhou.

However, Liu Bei did not want to, and now he could only watch Jingzhou fall into Cao Cao's hands in vain.

However, with this previous step of planning, Liu Qi is quite powerful, and it can be regarded as a retreat for Liu Bei in advance.

Without this arrangement, Liu Qi would still be in Xiangyang, and I am afraid that he would already be in a different place.

Jiang Xia will fall into the hands of Jiangdong, and Liu Bei and the others will not even have a place to stay.

"Kong Ming, how should I deal with it now?" Liu Bei said worriedly: "After Cao Cao arrives in Jingzhou, he will definitely not let Jiang Xia go, and he will definitely come to attack." "

"At that time, Cao Cao in front of him and Sun Quan behind him, we will be in a dilemma."

For a while, everyone's mood sank to the bottom.

The current situation is no different from a desperate situation, and there is no hope in sight.

Even if it was Guan Zhang Zhao and the three, they did not have the confidence to protect Xia Kou from loss under the attack of the strong enemies of the two sides.

"Master, do you remember the strategy I told you when I was in Longzhong?" Zhuge Liang asked abruptly.

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, then reacted and blurted out: "United Jiangdong? "

"Exactly." Zhuge Liang bowed his head slightly.

"But Jiangdong and Jingzhou had a feud for killing their father, and Sun Jian died in Jingzhou." Liu Qi interjected: "Moreover, the Cao Sun family is still in-laws, and there was a holy decree to announce to the world. "

"How can Jiang Dong unite with me and wait for the enemy Cao Cao?"

Jiangdong and Jingzhou are enemies, enemies of killing their fathers.

Jiang Dong and Cao Cao are 5.8 people, and their children are in-laws.

No matter how you look at it, Jiang Dong can only be close to Cao Cao, and it is impossible to unite with this side.

"It depends on whether Sun Quan has great ambitions and whether Jiangdong has a long-term vision." Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "If Sun Quan has no big ambitions, if Jiangdong is a rat with a bright eye, then it is indeed impossible to reach an alliance." "

"On the contrary, maybe we still have a chance!"

"So what now?" Liu Bei asked, "How should we act?" "

"Wait!"

"Wait?"

"That's right, wait for Jiangdong to take the initiative to contact us." Zhuge Liang continued: "If Jiang Dong takes the initiative to send someone here, it means that cooperation can be reached!" "

Jiang Xia.

"Liu Bei is defeated." Sun Quan frowned and looked at the military newspaper, "Before Cao Cao's army came, Liu Bei was defeated so completely, it was really vulnerable. "

Liu Bei's people have arrived at Xiakou, and it is not surprising that the results of the Battle of Xinye reached Jiangxia.

After all, for the war in Jingzhou, Jiangdong is still very concerned.

"Why hasn't this Liu Qi left yet?" Zhou Yu was also very depressed, "The pioneer of the Cao army has arrived in Fancheng, and crossing the river can threaten Xiangyang, and he still doesn't go back to rescue?" "

The abacus on the Jiangdong side is very good, thinking of waiting for Liu Qi to rescue Xiangyang, and then they will take over Xiakou without bloodshed, occupy the entire territory of Jiangxia, and control the throat of the Yangtze River.

But Liu Qi just didn't leave, and Jiang Dong didn't dare to attack, for fear of angering Cao Cao.

And Xiakou is not so good to fight, Liu Qi made up his mind that he couldn't hold on, and Jiang Dong couldn't gnaw it in a short time.

"Waiting like this is not the way." Lu Su suggested, "Master, why don't I cross the river and go to explore the truth?" "

"It's too dangerous." Sun Quan hesitated.

"I didn't identify myself in the past, it's better to be an ordinary person and see what the situation is over there than to sit and wait now." Lu Su was resolute.

"That... Well, Zijing must be careful. "

"Whoosh!!".
