Cao Cao had been paying attention to the battle to capture the dragon. The scouts would report to him every half an hour. When he heard that there were only five people in Long Fei, Cao Cao was overjoyed. The joy in his heart was meaningless, and he smiled at everyone.
Even when a servant accidentally spilled water on him, Cao Cao just smiled and waved for him to retreat.
"Report! Lord, a large number of Jingzhou troops have been discovered!"
"Ah! What!" Cao Cao, who was in high spirits, was severely shocked by the news: "Where did it come from?"
Dong Zhao hurriedly said: "My lord, immediately send a large army to encircle him. Not only can we capture Long Fei, but we can also take this opportunity to eliminate Jingzhou's soldiers and horses!"
Liu Ye waved his hands quickly: "No, no, this must be Long Fei's plan again, using himself as bait to mobilize our army. As long as he makes a move, the Jiangdong navy will definitely rush over! And our navy has not yet been trained. In a battle,
The losses are heavy and the gains are not worth the losses. Now it is better to find Cao Chun and others immediately and guard the stronghold, then Long Fei's plan of luring the enemy will be defeated!"
"Confused!" Dong Zhao stamped his feet anxiously: "Long Fei has obviously become a turtle in the urn, but you think this is a trick to lure the enemy! My lord, this opportunity must not be missed and never come back!"
Cao Cao remembered that many times in the past, it was because he did not listen to Dong Zhao's words that his army got into trouble. So this time, was Dong Zhao right or Liu Ye was right? Cao Cao was a little undecided.
Cheng Yu said: "My Lord, you can send more reinforcements. It is important to capture Long Fei, but we cannot lose our stronghold."
Cao Cao immediately ordered to let Yu Jin and Mao Jie guard the water stronghold to prevent sneak attacks from the opposite side, and then sent Man Pang and 10,000 infantry to reinforce.
With the help of Zhao Yun and others, Long Fei and the five men rose up and killed Cao Jun who was unable to fight back. Whether it was the tiger and leopard cavalry or the infantry, under the siege of these people, Cao had no room to fight back.
Chun commanded the troops and horses in an attempt to entangle Long Fei. Long Fei immediately ordered Zhao Yun to open the way in front, Huang Zhong to protect the two wings, and Gao Shun to lead the infantry to cut off the rear. He just forced his way out of Cao's army and ran away.
Gan Ning had already prepared a boat by the river, and everyone got on board. Huang Zhong directed the archers of the Shesheng Battalion, and a shower of arrows hit Cao Jun. Cao Jun turned around and ran away. No matter how Cao Chun gathered him, it had no effect. Standing still
On the river bank, they could only watch as Long Fei and others took a boat towards the other side of the river. Le Jin and Li Dian sighed sadly, turned around and looked at the corpses along the road, from the hillside to the river bank.
Just four or five miles. Just in this four or five miles long area, they are all the corpses of Cao's army.
Man Pang led his army galloping all the way. The speed was not bad, but it was still too late. The only good thing was that the navy did not suffer any attack, and even the shadow of the Jiangdong navy was not seen. Cao Cao began to regret again, regretting that he had not
He listened to Dong Zhao's words, but he didn't show it.
Cao Cao sighed slightly: "Long Fei should have seen us clearly when he came to visit the camp this time, but we still don't know the arrangements of the Long and Sun families. I intend to send a spy there. I don't know who it is.
Want to go?"
Everyone fell into silence for an instant. It would definitely not be easy for this spy to gain a foothold under Long Fei's nose. Otherwise, he might not even think about coming back. Cao Cao glanced at the crowd, and when he looked at someone, that person hurriedly lowered his
Head, don't look at Cao Cao.
"Liu Ye!"
Liu Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he kept making judgments in his mind: Why did Cao Cao call him? Why was he the first to be called? What method should he use to deal with it? Liu Ye stood up in a hurry and knelt down in front of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao said: "Xu Shao once said that Zi Yang has the talent to help the world. Can you tell me, among them, who is the most suitable to spy on the military situation of the Long Army?"
"This..." Liu Ye was a little embarrassed. Cao Cao threw this hot potato in front of him and made himself the bad guy. If anything happened, blame it all on him, Liu Ye, because he was recommended by Liu Ye.
Naturally, he felt relieved because he had a good relationship with Liu Ye, but he was always upset when he had a estrangement with Liu Ye. Liu Ye said "uh" for a long time and scanned everyone's face: "Let's go to Long Feida
Ying had a near-death experience, and it would be inappropriate if he didn’t have martial arts skills, so..."
Before Liu Ye finished speaking, behind the crowd, a well-mannered young man suddenly stood up. This man had a handsome face and looked talented. He was wearing a green robe and his hair was neatly combed. Liu Ye let out a sigh of relief, and everyone also
He turned his head and looked at the man. The young man took two steps forward and raised his hands to Cao Cao: "If you can trust me, I am willing to go to Jiangdong."
Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Okay! Yang Dezu is very clever and quick, so it should be fine! I will order you to go to Jiangdong for a trip. Regardless of success or failure, I will report back as soon as possible."
Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu were the sons of the former Taiwei Yang Biao. When Dong Zhuo moved officials to Chang'an, Yang Xiu suggested that his father Yang Biao escape. However, Yang Biao was afraid of Dong Zhuo's cruelty and could not bear to abandon the emperor and stay.
After leaving Yang Xiu, he took his whole family to Chang'an. Yang Xiu did not stay in Luoyang for long. He went to Guandong and told Cao Cao that he should gather the princes to attack Dong Zhuo. From then on, he stayed with Cao Cao. Yang Xiu was only sixteen years old.
age.
Yang Xiu came to Sanjiangkou as Cao Cao's envoy and asked to see Long Fei by name. Long Fei heard Yang Xiu's name and wanted to see this so-called talented man, so he met him in his Chinese army tent. Yang Xiu was
Lord Cao Cao was Bo, whose father was once a high-ranking official, and he always spoke and acted with the tone of an official. After entering the tent, he stood up and refused to bow, which made everyone look angry.
Long Fei looked Yang Xiu up and down. Regardless of his appearance or manners, although he still had the temperament of a young master, he had obviously matured a lot after so many years of training. Long Fei said, "Tell me! Why did Cao Cao send you here?"
Yang Xiudao: "A major event in the world!"
"Oh? Tell me!"
Yang Xiu flicked his sleeves, glanced at everyone and said: "Since the founding of the Han Dynasty by Emperor Taizu, it has gone through two dynasties, the East and the West, for more than four hundred years. The people of the world have surrendered. However, the spirit of Huan rose, the world was shaken, and swords were everywhere. My lord
I have been ordered by His Majesty to pacify the disobedient people in the country. The general is the Great Han Zhennan General. Why don’t you know the current affairs and send troops to stop me? Is it possible that you want to destroy the Han Dynasty?"
"Hahaha!" Long Fei laughed loudly: "You are so sharp-tongued, and your ability to confuse right and wrong is really powerful! In just a few words, Cao Cao was described as the hero who saved the Han Dynasty!"
"Things are like this, why bother turning them upside down!"
Long Fei nodded: "In that case, let me ask you, did Cao Cao have an order from His Majesty when he stationed troops in the four states of Hebei? Did he have an order from His Majesty when Cao Cao became general? This time, Cao Cao led his troops south to seize Jingzhou, which is controlled by Your Majesty.
Is there an edict from His Majesty in Yangzhou?"
"My lord is a general and commands the world's troops. Why do you need your Majesty's edict to put an end to the disaster?" Yang Xiu was not afraid at all: "Hebei Yuan Shao, relying on the name of the Fourth and Third Duke, wants to act on his own initiative. My lord sends troops.
There is no need for an edict! Sun Quan in Jiangdong used force to conquer various places and gathered troops and horses to achieve self-reliance. There is no need for an edict to conquer it! As for you, the general, I don’t say that everyone should be clear about detaining the emperor and forcibly occupying the entire territory of Jingzhou.
He secretly revised the laws of the Han Dynasty, and his words and deeds are no longer suitable for being a minister of the Han Dynasty! My lord sent troops in response to His Majesty’s secret edict, and it is just and true!"
"What a justifiable statement!" Xu Shu immediately retorted: "There are only virtuous people in the world. How could Cao Cao be so virtuous and call himself a general? Don't say we are dissatisfied, even His Majesty will not agree!"
Yang Xiu shook his head: "Sir, what you said is good, only the virtuous will live in the world. My lord, this general, is supported by the people, not self-proclaimed. The Han Dynasty has been bloody and bloody for decades, and the people are suffering. General Long, can you listen to me? Both sides have stopped fighting.
Let’s work together to help the great Han Dynasty! Restore the glory of our great Han Dynasty!” As he spoke, Yang Xiuxian became visibly excited.
Guo Jia shook his feather fan lightly: "May I ask, sir, from this perspective, Cao Cao should be what the people want, and the people should flock to him like a bird. If this is the case, why don't you return the power to your majesty? Why is it so late to see Cao Cao take action?"
Yang Xiudao: "Return to power, Your Majesty? Where is Your Majesty? Does Your Majesty still have the power to govern?"
Yang Xiu's eloquence was by no means inferior to Jiang Qian's. What he said immediately raised Cao Cao's status a lot, and Yan Ran became the savior of the Han Dynasty. Jiangdong and Jingzhou lost this contest. Long Fei immediately interrupted Yang
Xiu's words: "Then what should we do, sir?"
Yang Xiudao: "For the current plan, General Long should immediately surrender to my lord and work with my lord to restore the country of Han Dynasty, lest those with ulterior motives profit from it!" Yang Xiu glanced at the people in Jiangdong.
Kan Ze stood up immediately: "You are so bold, Yang Xiu, how dare you sow discord here. If I hadn't seen you as Cao Cao's envoy, I would have killed you!"
Yang Xiu laughed loudly: "Since I came here, I have put life and death aside. If you kill me, my lord's army will arrive soon! I will annihilate you and others in one fell swoop!"
"Hmph!" Kan Ze was furious and waved his hand to greet the soldiers who came in: "You are so shameless, come on! Push out the people who are stirring up dissension and kill them!"
"Wait!" Long Fei quickly stopped and looked at Lu Su next to him. After Zhou Yu became seriously ill, all Jiangdong affairs were handed over to Lu Su. Long Fei said to Lu Su: "Master Lu, are you watching? What's wrong with Yang Xiu?
It is said that he is also Cao Cao's envoy. If the two armies are fighting and the envoy is not killed, it will not be a big deal to Cao Cao's army if we kill him. But it will also arouse the anger of Cao Cao's army. I'm afraid...!"
Kan Ze said quickly: "My lords, this man is very sharp-tongued, constantly confusing right and wrong, and trying to sow discord between our coalition forces. Such an insidious guy, if he is not killed, the people will not be angry. No matter how powerful Cao Cao is, he will not be able to cross the river. Kill him."
What can this person do?"
Lu Su took a deep breath: "This makes some sense!"
Kan Ze immediately turned around and ordered: "Master Junjun has orders, push them out and kill them!"
"Slow down!" Long Fei organized for the second time and looked at Kan Ze: "Mr. Kan, why do you have to kill Yang Xiu?"
"This man is bold, and I want to vent my anger on behalf of the general!" Kan Ze said without changing his expression: "Our two families are united, so we must share the same enemy. The envoy of Cao's army made rude remarks and was disrespectful to the general. He should be killed according to the law!"
"Really?" Long Fei smiled slightly, staring at Kan Ze's eyes with a smile on his face.
