King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 936 Cai Mao’s surrender has been decided
"Sir, don't worry too much!" Hearing Cai Hao's words, Cai Zhong, the clan brother beside him, also interjected, "I am Cai Zhong, and I captured... ah no! The person who offended Mr. is unfortunately my confidant. If you offend me, I hope you will forgive me a lot!" After finishing speaking, seeing that Guo Tu still had doubts in his eyes, he hurriedly said to his brother: "Brother, this is not a place to discuss in detail, why don't you please return to the mansion to investigate in detail ?”

"Good! Good!" Cai Mao immediately understood, raised his hand and said, "Sir, please!"

"Please!" Guo Tu arched his hands and strode out of the cell. He didn't want to stay in this ghostly place for a moment.After walking outside the prison, Cai Mao had already prepared the carriage, and the three of them rode to Cai Mao's mansion.After getting out of the car and looking at the huge Cai Mansion, Guo Tu finally confirmed Cai Mao's identity.

The three of them came to a secret room and ordered the servants to serve tea, Cai Mao drank back and said with a smile: "Now sir, don't you have to doubt Cai's identity anymore?"

"Offended! Offended!" Guo Tugong cupped his hands and said with a chuckle: "This matter is of great importance. A certain person came here at the order of King Liao. A group of soldiers are sent to jail as secret agents, really ashamed, ashamed!"

"Hahaha!" Cai Hao waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. was shocked, and Cai will apologize to Mr. again!"

frightened?Guo Tu secretly laughed, if I didn't take the initiative to step forward, how could the Jingzhou soldiers catch me?Find the letters in my arms?Instead of waiting for the city gate to open and asking around Cai Mao's mansion to arouse suspicion, how about being caught as a spy and find the letter in his arms, anyway, the lord has never written anything ulterior.It's just an ordinary letter, but now looking at the appearance of Cai Mao and that Cai Zhong, hehe!It is almost certain that Cai Mao took refuge in the heart of China!Right now Cai Mao controls Xiangyang, as the most important city defense, Bian is his confidant, the only thing that is missing is the Xiangyang Prison, damn it!too disgusting!The old man who killed me will suffer!

"How dare you! How dare you!" Thinking this way in his heart, Guo Tu could still have a pleasant expression on his face, and said humbly to Cai Mao.

Looking Guo Tu up and down, Cai Mao asked suspiciously: "Cai has the guts to ask, what is your job?"

"Hey!" Guo Tu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's just a small position. It used to be Qingzhou Biejia, but now it's just joining the army next to King Liao!"

Cai Mao was moved by this, it is enough to leave Qingzhou alone, but it is quite different to come here to join the army beside the King of Liao, which shows that this person must be the confidant of the King of Liao!But it's also nonsense, if not a confidant, how could he send himself to Xiangyang?
Think about it this way.Cai Mao was even more respectful, and said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Cai really didn't dare to flirt with Liao Wang's tiger beard. Although he still fought with...hehe! He fought against Liao Wang's army, but he never had the chance to meet Liao Wang. !"

"Hehe!" Seeing what Cai Mao said.Guo Tu was even more certain in his heart. He raised his hand and smiled and said, "The King of Liao also understands the general's intentions. Don't talk about what happened just now. The King of Liao and the general are all thinking about the common people in the world. Now the King of Liao heard that the King of Chu died of illness. , and although General Cai Mao took up the task of Jingzhou, there are still countless small troubles around him, so he sent someone to tell General Cai Mao that the king of Liao came to help the general calm down all the unrest in Jingzhou, so as to calm the hearts of the people of Jingzhou. To reassure the hearts of the people in the world!"

"This..." Sure enough, Guo Tu's high-sounding words made Cai Mao and Cai Zhong stunned. They looked at each other, and Cai Mao said in his heart that he should let Kuai Yue come over to deal with such a person. It's all his own fault. He wanted to show off in front of Li Lin, so he brought Li Lin's envoy to his house alone, and said so many useless things, what did Li Lin mean?

"Heh!" With a chuckle, Guo Tu of course could see what these two big bastards meant. When talking to generals, he should say something affordable. Zong Ke succeeds the King of Chu, the King of Liao absolutely supports him, and General Cai Mao will be the commander of the navy. After the general in charge of Jingzhou eliminates Xiaoxiao, he will help the King of Liao to lead the army to the east of the Yangtze River and calm down the world.

Do you understand this? Giving these affordable things is what Cai Mao wants most. Hearing Guo Tu's words, Cai Mao was overjoyed. He licked his lips and showed a greedy look, but then he said to Guo Tu in surprise : "The king of Liao wants to send troops to Jiangdong?"

"Exactly!" Guo Tu nodded and said, "However, our army is not good at water warfare. If we want to take Jiangdong, we have to rely on the general!"

"How dare you! How dare you!" Cai Mao clasped his fists, turned around and said to his younger brother, "Second brother, why don't you quickly order the servants to prepare the banquet and welcome the wind for Mr.?"

"Don't worry, brother!" Cai Zhong was also delighted, his elder brother was made a marquis and a general, so how could he have paid off?Immediately retreated with fists folded and went to prepare the banquet.

"No hurry! No hurry!" Calling Cai Zhong, Guo Tu said seriously: "General Cai, there is one more matter, which was ordered by King Liao himself to speak to the general!"

Cai Mao straightened his face, cupped his fists and said, "Please show me, sir!"

Looking at the tea in the cup with his fingers, Guo Tu drew a few times on the table and said in a low voice: "The general must also know that the king of Liao led his army to besiege Fancheng. It is to take care of the people in the city! Liu Bei, the Liao king has long wanted to pursue him, and this time he was able to surround him in Fancheng, so..."

"Yeah!" Without finishing speaking, Cai Mao knew what Li Lin meant, nodded quickly, and said in agreement: "Liu Bei is hypocritical and ambitious, and Cai has been wanting to do it for a long time. Liu Pan, the guard of Fancheng, took the opportunity to kill Liu Bei, but it is a pity that Liu Pan disobeyed the order and did not obey, what orders does the King of Liao have?"

"It's enough for the general if he wants to. Liu Bei's intention is to go south to Jiangling to meet the eldest son Liu Qi. If Liu Bei and Liu Qi join forces, it may be detrimental to the general's career! Therefore, the king of Liao has sent thousands of light cavalry to patrol the Xiangjiang River. Stop Liu Bei from going south by water. That’s the reason. If Liu Bei wants to go to Jiangling, he has to go by land, and this land must pass through Xiangyang!” Guo Tu’s words were unreasonable, making it sound like Li Lin was about to leave Liu Bei, in fact, is helping Cai Mao clear the obstacles......

"The king of Liao meant..." Cai Mao understood, and said, "Ask the last general to send an army to hunt him down?"

"No, no, no!" Guo Tu shook his head and said seriously, "The general only needs to be like this..."

"That's all right? Okay, I understand!" Cai Mao's face showed doubts when he heard it, but seeing Guo Tu's appearance, of course he couldn't be lying, so he nodded...

After a day like this, there was still no movement in Fancheng, and he was anxious in Li Lin's heart, thinking whether he was trying to attack the city, but he heard a report from Qingqi that there were many people heading south at the south gate of Fancheng. migrate.

When Li Lin heard this, he scoffed at this, and said without hesitation: "Is it still necessary to do this in the end? I am so disappointed, Liu Xuande!" Then Li Lin asked: "Have you ever seen Liu Bei's soldiers!"

The sentry rider shook his head and said respectfully: "No, they are all common people!"

"En!" Li Lin nodded, thought for a moment, frowned and said, "Explore again! You have to order General Zhao Yun to send someone to report the situation in Fancheng to me every half an hour. If you see Liu Bei and his party, you don't have to Report, kill!"

"No!" Qingqi retreated respectfully.

"Hey!" Li Lin shook his head, turned around and said to the smiling and silent Pang Tong, "Shi Yuan is not beyond your expectations!"

"Ashamed, ashamed!" Pang Tong smiled humbly, cupped his hands and said, "Liu Bei has to escape from such a situation, but he can only encourage the people to move south, so he can get mixed up in it. My lord is kind and considerate of the people, so I don't think he will put the people's safety at risk. Send troops to cover up the killing wantonly, so Liu Bei will naturally take advantage of the opportunity to leave..."

"Yes!" Li Lin responded lightly, without praise or blame, and was silent for a while, then frowned and said: "Our army has been fighting for more than ten years. Although we have never had a good reputation, we have always dealt with soldiers who disturb the people strictly. I don’t know how Liu Bei could say that the people of Fancheng moved south? If it wasn’t for coercion? Hmm... coercion, I’m afraid it won’t happen!”

"Hehe" Pang Tong smiled slightly, and then asked, "Does my lord believe in ghosts and gods?"

"Ghosts and gods?" Although he didn't understand why Pang Tong mentioned this matter, Li Lin still answered truthfully, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods!" Although he said he didn't believe it, of course, Li Lin Lin has always been an atheist, but why is he here?And what kind of demon technique of Zhang Baiqi, Zhuge Liang's heavenly technique, and the way of heaven that old man Zuo Ci told himself, what kind of jokes are these?Li Lin has a big head when he thinks about it...

"My lord is wise!" Pang Tong arched his hands and said with a smile: "People in the world are accustomed to attribute incomprehensible things to ghosts and gods. In the same way, our army has conquered the world. However, we have never taken over Jingzhou. Although the people of Jingzhou have heard of our army's name, But I have never seen it before. Now that my army is besieging Fancheng, the people of Fancheng are terrified and unable to speak. As long as Liu Bei encourages them a little, the people are terrified, and naturally abandon the city and flee. Didn’t my lord also say that the people are most happy to follow, as long as there is someone If one person has the thought of moving south, there will be hundreds or even thousands of people following him!"

"That's reasonable!" It turned out that what Pang Tong meant, Li Lin nodded immediately, and asked suddenly: "In Shi Yuan's opinion, when will Liu Bei escape from Fancheng? Before the common people? After the common people? Or Is it mixed among many people?"

Pang Tong thought about it, and said in a concentrated voice: "In my opinion, Liu Bei will not choose to escape from Fancheng before the common people. Outside Fancheng, our army has thousands of light cavalry. Liu Bei is just seeking his own death by doing this! Liu Bei will not choose to follow the people, he knows that our army wants to take Fancheng, and when the people withdraw to nine out of ten, our army will definitely take Fancheng, if Liu Bei breaks out again at this moment, it will be too late! Eighty percent of Liu Bei mixed with the common people and went south with the flow of people. There are 30 or 30 people in panic. If we want to find Liu Bei and his party among them, I am afraid..." Fancheng was originally the gateway to Xiangyang, with many people, and Li Lin was in Nanyang Once the war broke out, all the people went into Fancheng. Nanyang is one of the largest counties in the world, so the [-] to [-] people mentioned by Pang Tong is not a random guess, and there may even be more...

"Tsk!" Li Lin frowned, and said in a low voice: "Shiyuan has a clever plan to block Liu Bei before Xiangjiang, intercept and kill him?"

Pang Tong chuckled, and said playfully: "There is no good strategy, but there is a good strategy, so I don't know whether the Lord will use it or not?"

"Oh?" Looking at Pang Tong suspiciously, Li Lin frowned and said, "Let's listen to Shi Yuan!"

"Promise!" Pang Tong straightened his face, and said in a low voice: "Take Fancheng first, cut off Liu Bei's return, and then send troops to cover up and kill, so that the people will return to Fancheng, and those who don't follow! Kill!"

"You want to stir up a civil uprising, don't you?" Li Lin pouted, rolled his eyes at Pang Tong, and said speechlessly: "The reason why I don't want to attack Fancheng by force is, firstly, that the soldiers under my command would suffer too many casualties; If Liu Bei wants to fight to the death with Liu Bei, if Liu Bei is determined to defend Fancheng with his people, even if our army takes this city, it will not be a happy thing!"

It may be because he hasn't fought for a long time. Li Lin is a little tired of killing too much. Originally, war is not a matter for the common people. If too many common people are affected, Li Lin will feel uncomfortable, especially now After leaving the old man Zuo Ci, he would tell himself about heaven and earth in his dreams every night, which made Li Lin even more headache, so when Li Lin went south to Jingzhou, he wanted to kill as few people as possible, especially the common people, but for Liu Bei and the others , even if they unexpectedly surrendered to Li Lin, Li Lin would find a way to kill them!

"My lord, Gao Yi!" Pang Tong smiled and cupped his hands, jokingly said, "If that's the case, then our army will have to follow the common people from afar, and the common people are unbearable to travel far. If they can't travel more than thirty miles a day, Liu Bei is afraid that the lord's army will arrive. You must flee in a hurry, not only sixty or seventy miles a day? It only takes half a day, even if the lord does not deliberately look for Liu Bei, Liu Bei will probably show his feet. Moreover, there are 20 heavy troops in Xiangyang, and the people of Fancheng will not know it. Peace of mind, the people will naturally go to Xiangyang, the lord has already made arrangements for this? You just need to ask Cai Mao to gather the people of Fancheng, Liu Bei, the time of death is coming!"

"Huh?" Hearing what Pang Tong said, Li Lin thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "Telling Cai Mao to gather the people of Fancheng is just a last resort. If possible, it would be best before Liu Bei crosses the Xiangjiang River!"
