Just when Cai Mao was having a headache about Liu Biao's matter, Zhao Fei and Cao Cao finally got together. Cao Cao was somewhat confused about what the Jingzhou Army did. It stands to reason that Cao Cao's army attacked the Jingzhou Army in large numbers. They should do their best to resist Cao Jun, but now there is no symbolic resistance from Jingzhou's hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers. Although Jingzhou's hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers have been assembled and ready, if Cao Jun takes another step, Jingzhou Army will take two steps back. They obviously don't want to fight Cao Jun.
And Zhao Fei obviously had some epiphany. The reason why the Jingzhou army was so afraid was Cai Mao's attention. Historically, after Liu Biao's death, Cai Mao had the most power in Jingzhou. After Liu Biao's death, facing the tyrannical Cao army, Cai Mao finally chose to surrender more than 100,000 yuan. All the Jingzhou army returned to Cao Cao
Zhao Fei is naturally very happy to have such a result. The footwork of the Jingzhou Army is acceptable to Cao Jun, but the navy of the Jingzhou Army is particularly important to Cao Jun. Although Cao Jun has his own navy, it is These soldiers have never been on the battlefield, and Cao's army does not have excellent naval generals. How can such an army have combat effectiveness? They have neither been on the battlefield nor have excellent naval generals.
Due to the influence of the elites in Cao's army, Cao Cao's eyes were raised to have very ordinary combat effectiveness. He could not see how much combat effectiveness a group of recruits who had not been baptized in combat could have. With these soldiers, it was obvious that they would not be able to fight. Cao Cao, the navy commander, doesn't look down on him at all
Cao "Cao" looked down upon Zhao Fei, and he obviously didn't take Cao Jun's navy seriously. This was partly his fault. Although Cao Jun's navy had been training, they had not been baptized by actual combat. They were still new recruits. There is a huge gap between the navy and the army. For the infantry, ordinary training can prepare the soldiers to go into battle. But for the navy, it is not so simple. There are many more things in it than in the infantry [
With such a navy, let alone defeating the elite Jiangdong Sun Navy or Cao's Jingzhou Navy, there is no hope of victory. Therefore, the Jingzhou Navy still has great merits, and the Jingzhou Navy is rich and has all kinds of large and small warships. Moreover, Cai Mao is a rare navy general. He has been dealing with the Sun family of Jiangdong for so many years. If he didn't have real skills, Jingzhou would have been annexed by the Sun family of Jiangdong long ago.
And the most important point is that if Cai Mao is not good at Zhou Yu, why should he try every means to get rid of him? The more threatening the person, the more he must get rid of him as soon as possible. If this matter were replaced by Zhao Fei, Zhao Fei would also do the same and be unable to escape. Cai Mao and other naval generals from the Jingzhou faction, Zhou Yu, can feel at ease
However, all of this is just Zhao Fei's conjecture. It has not yet been confirmed that Cai Mao has the idea of taking refuge with Cao Jun, so Zhao Fei still dare not take it lightly. If this is just a trick of the Jingzhou Army to lure the enemy, then Cao Jun will definitely encounter a big disaster if he takes it lightly. defeat
War is cruel. No one knows what will happen to him before the war is over. Although Cai Mao surrendered in history, due to his intervention, today's history has become specious. Zhao Fei definitely dare not take it lightly for fear of capsizing in the gutter.
Zhao Fei's caution obviously surprised Cao Jun's other advisers. Guo Jia alone could not understand Cai Mao's actions. It was obvious that he did not want to fight with Cao Jun and wanted to leave a good impression in front of Cao Cao. This is enough to prove This person has the intention to surrender to Cao Cao
According to the news from the spies, Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, was already seriously ill. At this time, Liu Biao could only breathe. He did not even have the strength to get out of bed. He had the ability to command the soldiers in battle. It can be said that as long as Liu Biao died, Cai Mao would be the only one in Jingzhou. big
As for Liu Biao's son Liu Cong, he is just a victim of meaning in Guo Jia's eyes. Even if he really becomes Jingzhou Mu, he is just a puppet. The real power is still in the hands of Cai Mao. To be fair, Liu Biao is just a relatively powerful person. An independent puppet, and his son is obviously not as good as him. If Liu Cong really takes the throne, his status will obviously not be any better than that of Emperor Xian in Xudu.
If Cai Mao wants to surrender, this is definitely good news for Cao Jun. He can easily occupy the wealthy land of Jingzhou. Then Cao Jun's domination of the world will no longer be empty talk. Jingzhou is rich in food and grass. With the support of this food and grass, Cao Jun will be able to conquer the country in one fell swoop. Occupy the world
Cao Jun's soldiers are more elite than others. With such elite soldiers, who in the world can rival him? Looking at the remaining princes in the world, no one is Cao Jun's opponent. Of course, this is talking about footwork. If we talk about the navy, Cao Jun obviously does not have an advantage innately. No one in the north can win. It’s land and there aren’t many rivers
Speaking of the navy Guo Jia, he couldn't help but think of the Sun family in Jiangdong. Guo Jia was both shocked and regretful about the rise of the Sun family. Of course, he was also somewhat relieved. What was shocking was that Sun Ce defeated a huge army with only thousands of soldiers and horses. What Jiang Dong regrets is that Sun Ce died of serious injuries at a young age. But he is happy that Sun Ce died in the end and died young.
Sun Ce is worthy of the name of a hero. If the Sun family is still alive today, he will definitely be the Lord's biggest enemy to conquer the world. Having an evenly matched enemy will not make you feel lonely in life. But if you really want to dominate the world, you should try not to have such an enemy appear.
However, although Sun Ce is dead, there is still a Sun Quan in Jiangdong today. I just don’t know what kind of person this Sun Quan is. But I think Sun Jian, the father of the Sun family in Jiangdong, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, must have these two people. Difficult to deal with
If this is really the case, then Cao Jun and the Sun clan in Jiangdong are bound to fight each other. If they really fight against the Sun clan in Jiangdong, Cao Jun's hundreds of thousands of elite foot soldiers will be of no use. After all, the river system in Jiangdong is developed, and the Sun clan has more water than elites. military
Guo Jia felt that he was top-heavy when it came to how to lead the navy in combat. Although Guo Jia could lead troops in combat, Guo Jia obviously had no idea how to lead the navy. Let alone commanding the three armies, which meant boarding a warship. Guo Jia felt top-heavy, let alone this. He said he was going to command the soldiers in battle.
Cao Jun was approaching Xiangyang City in an orderly manner. Cai Mao in Xiangyang City was obviously unable to sit still. He was the governor of Jingzhou and commanded more than 100,000 troops in Jingzhou to resist Cao Jun. He was responsible for it, but he had been shrinking these days. Avoid the line of defense without fighting
Such a move has caused dissatisfaction among most people in Jingzhou. If he continues like this, even if he has hundreds of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers, even if he holds great power in Jingzhou, Cai Mao still needs the support of the people of Jingzhou. Without the support of the people of Jingzhou, Cai Mao will be unable to move forward.
But if he sends troops to form a battle array with Cao Jun, then there is no possibility of surrendering to Cao Jun. Cao Jun is quite hostile to the family. If Cai Mao, an ordinary general, can surrender, but he is the head of the Cai clan, how can Cao Jun easily bypass it? Bypass the Cai family by yourself
What's hateful is that Liu Biao hasn't died yet. Cai Hao felt a little angry when he thought of this. If Liu Biao died now, he would definitely not have these troubles anymore. At this moment, Cai Hao has decided to use some extreme measures.
Of course, you absolutely can't do it by yourself at this time. As the saying goes, you just can't hold on to the fire. Even if you do it carefully, someone will inevitably notice it, but Cai Mao already has an excellent candidate. This person is none other than Liu Cong, the second son of Liu Biao. [
Liu Cong has been in a state of excitement these days. He doesn't take his father's serious illness seriously at all. In Liu Cong's view, Liu Biao's serious illness is his opportunity. As long as Liu Biao dies, Jingzhou will be his territory and he will no longer have to suffer. Other people’s eyes changed
But the idea is indeed beautiful, but the reality is very cruel. Liu Biao has been lying on the bed for a long time. It is true that his body is getting weaker, but he is still not dead. Every time he thinks of this, Liu Cong feels a little hatred towards Liu Biao. After all, if he is If you had given the order earlier, you would have done the same.
Just when Liu Cong was sighing, his uncle's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Hearing his uncle, Liu Cong hurriedly won over. He was not a fool. He knew that if he wanted to stabilize the status of Jingzhou Mu, he would need his uncle's strong support.
As long as I have the support of my uncle, I will definitely kill those ungrateful people if I am truly the Lord of Jingzhou at that time. If not for them, I would have been the Lord of Jingzhou long ago.
Liu Cong welcomed Cai Mao into the house. Liu Cong respected Cai Mao very much. Seeing Liu Cong's performance, Cai Mao showed a slightly disdainful expression. He thought that Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, was also considered a prince with some ability. He said that the father of a tiger was the son of a dog. But looking at Liu Cong now, Cai Mao can't see a glimmer of hope. If Jingzhou is really handed over to this person, it won't be long before the enemy troops still come to the city.
Therefore, my decision to surrender to Cao Jun was quite the right choice.
"I wonder what uncle is doing here," Liu Cong asked after Cai Mao sat down.
Cai Mao looked at Liu Cong and then said in a deep voice: "Why did you become a Jingzhou shepherd right away? Then you don't recognize your relatives. What else can you do now? Of course I'm looking at you."
After listening to Cai Mao's words, Liu Cong was obviously a little happy. Cai Mao was originally aloof, but now he is also groveling.
