Seven hundred and fortieth chapters each has a reward
Seeing Xiangyang City not far away, Zhao Fei nodded with satisfaction. Xiangyang is indeed the seat of Jingzhou, but looking at the magnificent city gates and towering walls, you can see how wealthy Jingzhou is. Strong economic strength will obviously not lead to such achievements.
Looking at the towering walls of Xiangyang City, Zhao Fei felt a lot of emotion in his heart. If Jingzhou was not led by Liu Biao, then Jingzhou would definitely be the most difficult enemy for Cao Jun to deal with. After all, there are so many famous people in Jingzhou, and they also have many long-lasting martial arts skills. If a general who is outstanding and good at commanding troops is led by a talented and strategic person, then the power of Jingzhou will definitely shock the world. But fortunately, there is no such person in the leadership of Jingzhou.
Cai Mao surrendered, and Cao Jun occupied Xiangyang City without any effort. The towering city walls are intimidating. For such a magnificent city, even if the Jingzhou Army defending the city has low combat effectiveness, if Cao Jun wants to capture Xiangyang, it must have spent a lot of manpower and material resources. , this built city wall alone cannot be easily conquered.
But for now, there is no need to worry about all this, because the gate of Xiangyang City has been opened, waiting for Cao Jun to enter the city. However, looking at Xiangyang City not far away, Zhao Fei's expression slowly changed. Xiangyang City was captured as expected, and the Battle of Chibi will probably follow.
Today's trend is not far from history. Cao Jun attacked Jingzhou. Cai Mao and his party surrendered in the hope of the wind and collected hundreds of thousands of Jingzhou's soldiers. Cao Jun's momentum became more powerful. After stabilizing the situation in Jingzhou, Cao Jun was bound to launch a large army, pointing directly to the east of the Yangtze River. Zhao Fei is obviously not sure whether the historical practice of burning Red Cliff will still happen. Although he has changed a lot of history, he is still very powerless in the face of the general trend. Take Liu Bei as an example. Just an example.[
However, Zhao Fei obviously will not give up easily. As the saying goes, everything depends on human effort. Zhao Fei will definitely prevent the Battle of Chibi from happening. He has foresight and knows the strategy of the Sun and Liu coalition forces. As long as the arrangements are proper, he can burn Chibi. , which is obviously quite difficult.
Outside Xiangyang City, Liu Cong led a group of Xiangyang officials, large and small, waiting for the arrival of Cao Jun. On horseback, Liu Cong felt somewhat uneasy, although Kuai Liang had sent good news, saying that Prime Minister Cao had promised him, He would confer the title of governor and even a title of lord, but Liu Cong was still very uneasy and it was difficult for him to calm down.
Looking at the dust rising in the distance, Liu Cong knew that Cao Cao's army was not far away from Xiangyang City. As Cao Cao's army approached, Liu Cong's heart became obviously more uneasy. Cao Cao's army was still some distance away from him, but Liu Cong could already feel a hint of coldness from Cao Jun's body.
These are the real elites of hundreds of battles. Behind Liu Cong, Cai Hao couldn't help but sigh. Cai Hao is an excellent general. He can naturally distinguish the difference between elites and ordinary soldiers. Cao Cao's army brought unparalleled pressure. This It is something that even a battle-hardened general cannot easily bear.
At this time, Cai Hao felt very lucky. Thanks to his choice to surrender, otherwise he would have been beaten to the point of losing his temper by such an elite group of soldiers. Unless he had ten times as many soldiers as Cao's army, Cai Hao would have lost his temper. I would never choose to fight head-on with Cao Jun.
Just when Cai Mao was sighing, Cao Cao's army had already arrived at the city. Cao Cao's forwards stopped, and then Cai Hao saw countless Cao Jun soldiers arranging their troops, but he obviously did not panic. After all, if it were him, he would not Easily let down your guard.
However, Liu Cong obviously couldn't understand. Seeing that Cao Jun was preparing to attack so close, Liu Cong's face immediately turned pale. Obviously, he didn't know that he had already decided to surrender, but why was Cao Jun still preparing to attack? Liu Cong hurriedly turned to look at Cai Hao. He obviously didn't want to stay here any longer. Cao Jun was really terrifying, and it put a lot of pressure on him from a distance. Now that Cao Jun was so close, Liu Cong was even more adaptable. .
"Cong'er needs to worry. Cao Jun's move is just in case. We sincerely surrender, and Prime Minister Cao will definitely not make things difficult for us." When Cai Mao saw Liu Cong's expression, he immediately knew what his nephew wanted to say. What, so before Liu Cong could speak, Cai Mao spoke to comfort Liu Chong. When Liu Cong heard what Cai Mao said, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at Liu Cong's pale face, it was obvious that he was frightened by Cao Jun. Not lightly, but seeing his nephew's behavior like this, Cai Mao couldn't help but shook his head secretly. Seeing Liu Cong's courage, his face was already pale with fright. If Cao Jun really attacked, Liu Cong would probably turn around and run away.
Cao's army was silent, and there was a murderous aura that penetrated people. Looking at Cao's army not far away, the faces of Jingzhou officials changed slightly. When in Xiangyang City, had they ever seen soldiers with such murderous intent? The majestic officers and soldiers of Cao's army, thinking about their attempts to become enemies again, all Jingzhou officials sighed. Cao's army is indeed powerful. If they forcefully attack them, they may become prisoners of Cao's army. If that time comes, , my own fate...
Just when officials of all sizes in Jingzhou were rejoicing, a sudden change occurred in the camp of Cao Jun on the opposite side. Cao Cao, Zhao Fei and others rode their horses to the front of the formation and looked towards the nearby Jingzhou City. Cao Cao and Zhao Feice immediately In front, heading towards Jingzhou City, behind Cao Cao and others, Xu Chudianwei and Cao Cao and Zhao Fei's guards were closely protecting them. The more this time came, the more cautious they became, because who I don't know what will happen in the future.
Zhao Fei and Cao Cao immediately stepped forward. Cai Mao hurriedly reminded Liu Cong to come forward. Although Liu Cong was a little scared, he obviously knew his situation and nodded. Liu Cong, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and others The people rushed towards Cao Cao and Zhao Fei, but compared to Cao Cao, Liu Cong and Cai Mao did not have any guards.
When the two parties met, Liu Cong, Cai Hao and others immediately turned over and saluted Cao Cao, Zhao Fei and others. Cao Cao accepted it with a smile, while Zhao Fei looked at Cai Hao at this time. After all, Cai Hao is also rare to see. Talents, and also naval talents that Cao Jun was extremely lacking.
Cai Hao obviously felt Zhao Fei's gaze, and looked at Zhao Fei with a hint of humility. Cai Hao obviously knew who this person was. If he could compete with someone who was only half the size of Cao Cao, this person must be Cao Cao's. The most trusted advisor is the current Han Dynasty Lieutenant Zhao Fei.
Regarding Zhao Fei, Cai Mao seems to have different thoughts in his heart. If not for any other reason, it is because his surname is Cai, and Zhao Fei's wife is also surnamed Cai. Although the two have the same surname, they are very different, but it cannot be denied. Yes, the Cai family in Jingzhou is indeed related to Cai Ba, although this relative is somewhat distant.
Zhao Fei looked Cai Hao up and down, but found nothing strange, and then withdrew his eyes. Cai Hao obviously knew that this was not the time to recognize relatives, so he did not rush forward to talk to Zhao Fei. Talking, now we still need to deal with Cao Cao, and we need to watch Liu Cong more.
However, judging from the situation just now, Liu Cong's performance is basically satisfactory to Cai Mao. After all, these have been practiced for a long time. For fear of something unexpected happening to Liu Cong, Cai Mao started training Liu Cong early. Seeing the atmosphere in front of him, Cai Mao was still very satisfied with his foresight.
Accompanied by Liu Cong and Cai Hao, Cao Cao and Zhao Fei entered Xiangyang City. Liu Cong and Cai Hao followed behind Cao Cao and Zhao Fei. Beside them, Dian Wei and Xu Chu rode horses to ride alongside them. However, Dian Wei and Cai Hao were very close to each other. As long as an emergency occurred, Dian Wei and Xu Chu would be able to capture Cai Hao and Liu Cong immediately.
Looking at Dian Wei next to him, Cai Mao felt a chill running down his spine. There were indeed many talented people in Cao's army. Dian Wei and Xu Chu's stalwart body contained power. He was afraid that if he moved a finger, his life would be ended. Here, taking a deep breath, Cai Mao controlled himself not to look at Dian Wei.
If Cai Mao is like this, then Liu Cong will be even more unbearable, but fortunately Liu Cong is on horseback. If he were underground, Liu Cong would probably have weak legs and collapse on the ground.[
In this way, Cao Cao and Zhao Fei finally arrived at Jingzhou Mu's mansion. Looking at the splendid Jingzhou Mu's mansion, Zhao Fei had to sigh with emotion. Jingzhou is really rich. A Jingzhou Mu's mansion is decorated so luxuriously. If it were replaced by I'm afraid it will be even more extraordinary if we enter the Cai family's house and the Kuai family's house.
Entering the Jingzhou Mu Mansion, Cao Cao naturally sat on the main seat, Zhao Fei took the second seat, and no one dared to sit on Liu Cong and Cai Mao. The two of them were above the main hall in terms of fighting power, and they were waiting anxiously for Cao Cao to show his face. own arrangements.
"As the saying goes, those who understand the current affairs are heroes. If you surrender the city, it will be a great achievement. I, Cao Cao, am not a stingy person. If you have accomplished such a great achievement, I will naturally have a reward." After pondering for a moment, Cao Cao said loudly. .
"I will naturally not keep my promise. If Liu Cong steps forward to stop the seal, I will make you the governor of Jingzhou and a lord." Cao Cao stared at Liu Cong and said, and Liu Cong was obviously overjoyed. He took a step forward. , knelt down on the ground and thanked loudly: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your appreciation."
Cao Cao nodded and signaled Liu Cong to rise. Then Cao Cao turned to look at Cai Mao. He pondered for a moment, and then said: "I know how to raise and train a navy army with profound virtue, and our army wants to take the east of the Yangtze River from the south. The army is naturally indispensable, so I will make you the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of Zhennanhou and take charge of the navy for me. Soon, our army will go south to the east of the Yangtze River, and then we will have to look at you."
Cai Mao was obviously very happy. Although there was a difference between the Commander-in-Chief and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, his status was obviously quite prominent. Since he had to fight against the Jiangdong Navy, his own importance was naturally reflected. It can be said that Cao Cao's influence on Cai Mao was very satisfied with his reward.
Cai Mao hurriedly knelt down and knelt down, and then said loudly: "Thank you Prime Minister for your appreciation. The Prime Minister treats me so kindly. I will do my best to help the Prime Minister train the navy well."
