Chapter eight hundred and eighty seventh world difference
After tidying up, Cai Mao was completely different from the previous desolation. This Cai Mao had broad shoulders and narrow waist, a face as solemn and determined as a knife, and his depressed eyes had regained a bit of life at this time.
At this time, Cai Mao was considered a top-notch talent.
After Cao Zhi entered the tent and greeted Cai Mao, he invited him to have a meal in Cao Ren's handsome tent.
Cai Mao did not agree, but smiled bitterly and said to Cao Ren: "General Cao will be famous all over the world in this battle. I, Cai Mao, am completely convinced of his defeat."
Cao Ren laughed, glanced at Cao Zhi and said: "Everyone has his own master, and everyone is helpless in this battle. But when it comes to the planner of this battle, you admire the wrong person. This entire plan was planned by my master.
!”
Cai Mao was shocked and turned to look at Cao Zhi. His eyes were wrong. After staring at Cao Zhi for a while, he sighed: "I only heard that Cao Zhi is a traitor, but I forgot that everyone in the Cao family is a general. Cao Zhi, you
What we have achieved today was achieved through hard work. Alas! I was too rash and I deserve to lose!"
"Haha..." Cao Zhi was not angry because Cai Mao disrespectfully called him a traitor. On the contrary, he burst into laughter.
At this time, Cai Mao's voice came up again, and he asked Cao Zhi: "General Cao, when did you make the same battle plan as Wenpin?"
Cao Zhi was stunned when he heard this, said "Oh", and asked without answering: "Does General Wen have the same battle plan as me?"
Cai Mao did not shy away and said: "Yes, it's basically the same. If I hadn't followed Wenpin's plan, I wouldn't have failed so miserably..." When Cai Mao said this, he started to sigh, and then said:
Suddenly he knelt down to Cao Zhi and said: "General Cao, I know we have been defeated. Zhang Yun alone may not be able to defend Fancheng. Cai Mao asked for nothing before he died, but please don't make things difficult for my subordinates after General Cao enters the city."
And the people in Fancheng!"
Cao Zhi was stunned again when he heard this. Guo Jia promptly reminded Cai Mao that he was worried that Cao Zhi would follow his brother's example and massacre the city after taking Fancheng.
Cao Zhi thought to himself: "The reputation that my eldest brother left me is not that great. It seems that my eldest brother has always been described as a coffin that is difficult to determine in later generations. This is very well-founded!"
Cao Cao is the person with the absolute most outstanding achievements in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but throughout the history of the Three Kingdoms, there has never been a person with an image as complex as Cao Cao's, so distorted and yet so purely controversial.
"Haha...Brother Cai will sleep here tonight and ride back to Fancheng tomorrow morning. With the current situation, we have to pursue the victory. As for the massacre of the city, Brother Cai can rest assured that Cao Zhi has not done this yet.
Even if you think about it, you will never have this hobby!"
Cai Hao didn't notice anything from Cao Zhi's deliberate change of title, or was surprised by Cao Zhi's promise not to massacre the city. When he heard that Cao Zhi wanted to let him go, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in surprise: "Cao Zhi
The general wants to let me, the enemy general, go free, this...this..."
When Cai Mao didn't know what words to use to describe Cao Zhi's generosity, Cao Zhi casually called in the attendants, put down the wine and food, and said sincerely: "Brother Cai still has so much to deal with at this time. To be honest, Brother Cai thinks
Did I really send troops to Jingzhou to conquer the city? Alas... I will return Brother Cai's bodyguards and bodyguards to Brother Cai. Come, Brother Cai drinks this bowl with me and leaves as soon as possible. Maybe tomorrow we will
See you on the battlefield again!"
Cai Hao was no longer a little surprised at this time, but extremely surprised. When he saw Cao Zhi making a friendly "please sit down" gesture to him, he came to Cao Zhi without any struggle and sat down next to Cao Zhi at the same table.
"Before Cai Mao's trip, everyone in Jingzhou did some analysis of General Cao's sudden dispatch of troops to Jingzhou... I think General Cao's move is nothing more than to intimidate Jingzhou and General Cao into an alliance to deal with Sun Ce..." Cai Mao said this
Yu Fei imposed the conclusion of the discussion upstairs on himself and tentatively stated Cao Zhi's purpose of sending troops to Jingzhou. After saying this, he also held the wine bowl and did not drink it, but just waited for Cao Zhi's answer.
"Brother Cai knows me. Sun Ce's son has gone too far to bully others. In view of our sworn friendship, when his late father lost power, I not only took him in, but also gave him control. I never thought that his wings would grow hard."
, just rebelled against me, killed my subordinates, and seized my territory. I can't swallow this breath!" Cao Zhi, who followed Cai Mao and put down his wine bowl, while confirming Cai Mao's temptation, began to vomit bitterness to Cai Mao.
Cai Mao had no deep hatred for Cao Zhi, but when he got Cao Zhi's affirmation of the purpose of going to Jingzhou, he regretted not being able to support Han Song that day, and persuaded Liu Biao to agree to form an alliance with Cao Zhi as soon as possible. How could he have suffered such a disastrous defeat today?
.
Just when Cai Mao was lamenting, Cao Zhi, who saw Cai Mao's expression, continued to complain intentionally or unintentionally, "The most irritating moment is that Sun Ce knows very much about the weapons I arranged to manufacture and store in Yuzhang.
Not only did he use this to sow discord between me and Liu Zhoumu, but he also intercepted a large amount of money in one fell swoop... Oh, let’s not talk about it anymore, Brother Cai was drinking..."
Although Cao Zhi's words were hesitant, the emphasis on "a large number of interceptions" was enough for Cai Mao to understand the true meaning and intention of Cao Zhi. How could Cai Mao not know that Sun Ce intercepted a large number of Cao Zhi's words?
He also knew that Sun Ce's troops had already used these weapons on their Jingzhou troops. These weapons were indeed sharp. No wonder Cao Zhi wanted to change his strategy and must join forces with Liu Biao. Because
With these weapons, Sun Ce is no longer what he used to be, and his overall strength has reached a higher level.
Cai Mao did not shirk Cao Zhi's toast this time. When Cao Zhi raised the wine bowl in his hand with infinite sorrow, he also raised the wine bowl in front of him. After clinking the bowl with Cao Zhi, he took a sip of wine and
After pouring it into his stomach, a burning heat rose from his lower abdomen, as if a ball of fire was burning in his stomach. Cai Mao, who was also good at drinking, couldn't help shouting: "Good wine, Beidi wine is really strong!"
"
So, driven by Cai Mao's arrogance, several people at the table burst into laughter, and all hostility was swept away.
After filling Cai Hao's bowl with wine again, Cao Zhi changed his eloquent tone and became taciturn. He acted like a battlefield brother who is not afraid of death in a real war, and drank with Cai Hao one after another.
After touching the bowl, he poured wine into his stomach.
Cao Zhi is actually not very good at drinking, but at this time he must show off his fearless spirit to risk his life to accompany the gentleman. Cao Zhi knows that Cai Mao in history will submit to Cao Cao, but it may be a little early now, but
Cao Zhi must pry him early in order to avoid unnecessary casualties. It is always beneficial to Cao Zhi's side to avoid losing less blood.
The other people in the tent who understood Cao Zhi's intention looked at Cao Ren next to them. This drunkard who always drank to death on weekdays also restrained himself and sat next to Cai Mao. After taking the opportunity to drink a bowl of Cai Mao, he reached out to pat him.
He patted Cai Mao and said, "Take it easy, brother."
Although Cai Mao was excited at Cao Ren's affectionate address, he said without raising his head: "Although I rarely drink strong wine from the North, I am famous in Jingzhou for not getting drunk after a thousand cups. This little wine is nothing."
!”
Because of Cai Mao's bold words, several people in the tent started laughing again.
After listening to Cai Mao's words, Guo Jia nodded and said: "General Cai really should have a good drinker. Come, in order that we can have the honor to have a drink together today, I offer you a bowl."
After saying that, Guo Jia drank a large bowl of wine in one breath, and his face became red. Probably due to the rising alcoholism, Guo Jia, a frail scholar, seemed much more bold and unrestrained than usual.
.
Cai Mao was still drunk at this time, so he naturally understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words. Today, he was given a life by Cao Zhi, so he was very grateful, but tomorrow both sides would turn back their own troops, and they would be hostile again. Now Cai Mao understands everything
After understanding Cao Zhi's original intention of sending troops to Jingzhou, he was unwilling to fight this stupid war again, but he could not think of any solution at this time. He just said: "I will leave tonight, alas! Cao Situzhen
Friends enough, Mao will remember this kindness today, come and do it..."
"Dry!"
That night, Cao Zhi, Cai Mao, Cao Ren, Guo Jia and others drank heartily and talked about everything. However, no one on Cao Zhi's side said a word about Cai Mao's submission or strike. This is art.
, to persuade others to follow one's own ideas and intentions, but not to directly point them out, but to guide them step by step towards their preset goals.
They drank and chatted, and when they got excited, Cao Ren sang shirtless: "The empire has fought for a hundred years, and warriors guarded the four sides. Three thousand iron cavalry trampled the hills of bones. Eight thousand heroes were invincible, and their blood covered the sea. I wish to reach for the stars to transform the courage of heroes, and dance
The spear is my iron backbone. If I dare to fight on the battlefield, I will never fall. In a bloody battle, the world will be red, and the orchids will scare me in my dreams. The picturesque mountains and rivers of 40,000 miles will all return to my land. The river east of 30,000 miles will reach the sea...
That night, they were all drunk, very drunk. After Cao Zhi fell asleep in a daze, Cao Ren sent Cai Mao and nearly a thousand of his guards away that night. It was not until the next morning that Cao Ren reported the situation.
Sober Cao Zhi.
Cao Zhi rubbed his temples, smiled, and then told Cao Ren to take the next step. Then while Cao Ren sent the prisoners to the rear of Xinye, he once again ordered the entire army to cross the river and prepare to enter Fancheng.
######Just when Yuanfan City, four hundred miles away from Xiangyang, was about to undergo major changes, hundreds of miles away in Xiangyang City, Liu Biao's face was flushed and he was in a happy mood. After experiencing the Huangzu Jiangxia
After the defeat, Cao Zhi advanced on three sides to encircle Jingzhou, but he felt that he was unable to do what he wanted, and he felt a sense of constant panic.
But now Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have led their troops to the west to stop the enemy, and Sun Ce has also stopped attacking Jiangxia at this time. What Liu Biao is most looking forward to at this time is that Yuan Shao has sent people again. It is precisely because of this
Liu Biao was treated as a distinguished guest by a man who looked like a giant monkey, which made Liu Biao, who had been hesitating for many days, sweep away his worries and his face became red.
