three kings

Chapter 168

The next thing becomes simple and clear.

It was the greatest misfortune in life for Liu Biao to receive courtiers like Cai Mao.

Cai Mao, who was dazzled by the benefits, was even more convinced of Liu Yi's strategy after seeing that he easily defeated the "famous" "Rangqi".

I am also full of confidence in the victory of this battle.He said in his heart: "Go back and reward Mr. Liu well, and keep him. I'm also giving him a docile BMW. We can't let what happened today happen again."

It turned out that when Cai Mao was attacking, Liu Yi fell off his horse because he was "not good at" riding a horse, "broken" his leg, and could not travel far.

Cai Mao had no choice but to keep him in the big tent and send someone to take care of him.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a report from Tan Ma, "My lord, the battle between Sun Can and Liu Bei is ahead. Shall I stop and collect the remaining supplies? Or continue to pursue."

Cai Maoyang whipped his hand, and said angrily: "Stupid, these supplies can be obtained at any time, but if this opportunity is lost, how can there be a second time for us to hunt down Sun Can's army?... Pass on the order, The whole army hastened to pursue Sun Can's troops. If anyone picks up money without authorization, he will be executed."

If, at this time, Cai Mao was confused by the little profit in front of him, maybe he would not lose so badly.But at this moment, what he was thinking about was the power of Jingzhou, how could he be tempted by such a small benefit?
Not long after he gave the order to advance at full speed, he heard the sound of a cannon. The soldiers lurking around, not the soldiers basking in the sun, got up one by one, waved their weapons, and killed Cai Mao's army.

Cai Maojun was stunned immediately, the brave dared to face the enemy, the cowardly and superstitious ones yelled "Fake Corpse!" and fled without a trace.

Enemies from all directions surrounded him, Xu Huang and Fan Wu also turned around and came to kill Cai Mao.

Seeing Xu Huang rushing towards him viciously wielding a big axe, Cai Mao was terrified, turned around and fled.

At this point, the battle was meaningless. When the slogan that the survivors will not be killed sounded, Cai Maojun, who had lost his general, abandoned his weapons and surrendered.

Sun Can immediately ordered the whole army to stop, and led the tens of thousands of strong men to walk towards Fancheng beamingly.

In fact, his purpose of fighting this battle is for these tens of thousands of strong men.As for why not hunt down Cai Mao, the reason is very simple.

If there is Cai Mao in Jingzhou, it will die within a year; if there is no Cai Mao in Jingzhou, it can still support for three to five years.

Why did Sun Can go after Cai Mao so thanklessly?

How could Sun Can have the heart to kill such a useful talent as Sun Canjun.

Just like what Liu Hua said in his strategy, after the defenders of Fancheng learned that Liu Bei's army had been defeated, they lost the meaning of resistance.

The reason why Fancheng can exist today is all because of Liu Bei's strict defense to survive until today.Now that even Liu Bei has been defeated, do they still have the ability to resist?

of course not.

Therefore, when Sun Can came to the city of Fancheng again, the guard offered Fancheng wisely.

Sun Can obtained Fancheng as he wished. Standing on the south wall of Fancheng and looking at the Xiangjiang River in the distance, he said proudly, "In the near future, Can will definitely go out of Xiangjiang and unify Jingzhou in one fell swoop."

Jia Xu smiled flatteringly and said, "My lord, now that I have captured part of the land in Jingzhou, the gates of Xiangfan have been opened. With the strength of our army, we can certainly capture Jingzhou just around the corner."

"Ha...ha...ha" Sun Can laughed three times: "Wenhe's mouth is still the sweetest."

Jia Xu also laughed and said: "Jia Xu is just telling the truth. Liu Biao, if he is in a peaceful and grand event, is a talent of the three lords; but born in a troubled world, he will not see things change, he is suspicious, indecisive, and incompetent. He is hesitant about matters of position, how can he compete with the lord."

"Yes!" Sun Can supported the city wall with both hands, and said, "Jingzhou and Yingchuan have always been famous for their talents. Now, Yingchuan's Wenruo, Fengxiao, Changwen, and Meng De's Xizhi Cai, Xun You and others are all top strategists. But now, the people Liu Biao uses are Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others who are not successful enough but have more than failed. It really shames Jingzhou, which has a lot of talents. "

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly, Zhao Yun came galloping, saying that the envoy of Shouchun had something urgent to report and was waiting in the government office.

Sun Can suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurried back to the government office.

The envoy of Shouchun handed the letter to Sun Can. After comparing the handwriting and handwriting to confirm that it was written by Xun Yu himself, he read: "My minister, Xun Yu, is a low-level planner, and he missed Lu Bu's strategy to confuse the enemy. Originally, Yu thought that Lu Bu had just won the letter. The people in Xuzhou are unstable and eager to start a war. There must be not much food.

The minister adopted the strategy of delay, intending to trap Lu Bu, so that he would retreat without food, and retreat without fighting hard.

But recently Lv Bu not only did not fall into a situation of food shortage, but also saw through Yu's strategy.Almost all the soldiers in the whole state came to invade Wujiang port.Fortunately, Gong Jin found out before the battle and had the opportunity to rescue Wujiang Port, which saved Wujiang Port from the danger of falling.

A few days ago, in the area of ​​Jiangdong, there was a sudden rumor that the lord wanted to seize the land of Jiangdong. Yangzhou Inspector Liu Yao, Xue Li, and Ruo Rong also conspired frequently.

Yu invites the lord to come back and don't be the district office.Liu Biao's disease of ringworm and scabies is nothing to worry about.Look at the class teacher early, don't miss a big deal! "

Sun Can was a little flustered when he read the book, Shouchun had very few soldiers, and only five thousand were able to fight well. Although the "Jianghuai Water Army" has [-] people, they are all water troops.The training of the navy is different from that of the army, and they can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in just one year.

In history, it took nearly ten years for Zhou Yu, the Jiangdong navy, to achieve the reputation of being invincible.

The current "Jianghuai Navy" has only been established for about two years. Among them, it took more than a year to recruit skilled craftsmen, build docks, ships, recruit soldiers, and screen. The fighting power is still not strong enough.

The Huainan soldiers are quite tight against Lu Bu's Hundred Wars Division. If Liu Yao's [-] troops come to join in the fun, Huainan will be in danger.

Sun Can said angrily: "How could Lu Bu have food? Wen Ruo's plan has been hidden from Lu Bu for such a long time, so why was Lu Bu seen through at this critical moment. And that bastard Liu Yao, I am here to fight Jingzhou, why? Maybe they are going to fetch Jiangdong? It was that bastard who planned all of this."

A person appeared in Liu Hua's mind, that is, "Cao Cao" known as the traitor. Without the help of the two virtuous ministers, Xun Yu and Guo Jia, Sun Can would be slower in terms of territory and economy. .Now that things happened one after another, it was obvious that someone was plotting secretly. Apart from Cao Cao, he really couldn't think of anyone else.

Especially Lu Bu's food.It is a well-recognized fact that Lu Bu has no food, and this should not be his own guess.Wizards such as Sun Can, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Lu Su have all said that Lu Bu has no food.

It was also because of this that Sun Can attacked Jingzhou with confidence.

He guessed wrong by himself, so it can be said that he is confused, but it is impossible for Sun Can, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Lu Su to make him more confused at the same time, right?
Today, only Cao Cao who has a long-term vision and does not consider immediate gains and losses has the courage to secretly support Lu Bu.

However, he didn't say that it's not yet time for Cao Cao to turn his face, and besides, he doesn't have that evidence.After all, it is well known that Lu Bu and Cao Cao are enemies.

He said: "Chan'er, don't worry, according to the current situation, returning to the army is imminent, there is no room for hesitation."

"I know." Sun Can said: "Boy, it's not that I'm in a hurry, but that I'm a little unwilling. Xiangfan is almost at the hands of our army, so I'm really unwilling to give up like this." Although he was a little reluctant, the priority of the matter He can still tell the difference.Immediately issued an order: "The generals listen to the order, everyone has rectified the army and horses of the headquarters, and is ready to withdraw to Shouchun."

The generals led the way.

Then, he stopped Xu Huang and said, "Gongming, all the generals in Jingzhou are afraid of you like a tiger, so you stay and guard Fancheng. Although Liu Biao was seriously injured in the previous battle, he will no longer have the strength to threaten Fancheng, but don't be careless." underestimate the enemy."

Xu Huang clasped his fists and said, "The general understands, my lord can rest assured. The city is alive, and the city is dead, and the people are dead."

Guo Jia came out of the shift and said, "My lord, returning to Shouchun at this time may not be a bad thing. According to rumors, Liu Biao's health is getting worse day by day, and his life will not be long.

Now Liu Biao's successor has not been determined, power is competing, and each has its own party.The Lord ordered Liu Yi to divorce the relationship between Cai Mao and Liu Qi the day before yesterday, which must have been effective.

As long as we fan the flames from the sidelines, I believe that these two people will be at odds again and attack each other, and our army can also take advantage of the fisherman's strength.Then hit it, it can be decided in one fell swoop. "

Sun Can nodded, and said: "Following Xiao's words is very reasonable. Can also thought about it, but there is a variable in it, we must guard against it."

Jia Xu walked out and said, "Is the variable in the Lord's mouth 'Liu Bei'?"

Sun Can nodded again and said: "That's right, Liu Bei should not be underestimated. He wins without arrogance, fails without flinching, and has the style of a great ancestor. With Xu Shu's assistant, he is like a tiger with wings. Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Liu Qi, Liu Pan and others, He is no match for him at all. If Jingzhou is acquired by him, he may feed a tiger."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "My lord is not unreasonable to be worried. However, I have a way to get the best of both worlds. If my lord does not give up, I can let Xu stay in Fancheng. It may not be Xu's opponent.

The lord can secretly support Cai Mao, while Xu assists Cai Mao in Fancheng.Even if Liu Bei is powerful, he will not be able to gain benefits in Jingzhou. What's more, we still have Liu Bei's Achilles' heel. "

Liu Hua and Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and they said in unison: "Zhang Yan!"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Liu Bei can't use common sense to judge this person, but he attaches great importance to the loyalty between brothers. As long as Zhang Yan is used well, Liu Bei will never get any benefits in Xiangfan."
