Xiaoguangong

Chapter 29 Rebellion
Cao Cao's life in Jiangling was quite comfortable.

As the weather was getting colder, he put on a fox fur. He drank with Cai Mao or discussed poetry with Chen Lin every day. It seemed that he didn't pay attention to the war at all.

But Cai Hao was not as peaceful and stable as he showed. Based on his understanding of Cao Cao, this old friend was holding back an unprecedented evil fire, and even lost his mind.

From the time when he was a student, Cao Cao liked to do everything by himself.

Things that offend people have to be done personally, and women have to be robbed by themselves. Whether or not Cao Cao is in the army under his command are two completely different armies. Stationed in Jiangling, that is to say, in the eyes of the suspicious Cao Cao, everyone in Jingzhou has temporarily surpassed his old opponent Liu Bei and became his main threat.

Cai Mao visited Cao Cao every day with the great gift of meeting the emperor, showing his flattery and awe as much as possible, and even not allowing anyone in his family to leave Jiangling to show his absolute obedience to Cao Cao.

But at the same time, he also secretly made some arrangements.

"Did you send the winter clothes to Mr. Yuan Zhi?"

"Send it, send it, and send extra wine, meat and some silk." His butler trembled.

"Hmm... hiss, on such a cold day, Mr. Yuanzhi doesn't have a caring family member to serve him, why are you so careless?"

"..."

Cai Mao's butler hadn't seen the head of the family lose his composure for a long time. He had a vague premonition that something big was about to happen, so he could only persuade with a wry smile:

"Master, why is this necessary? Xu Shu offended Prime Minister Cao, and others avoided him. Why did the master still associate with him? Zhang Dudu led the army to march eastward. Even if Liu Bei formed an alliance with Jiangdong, it would be no more than [-] to [-] sailors at most. The prime minister's army is dead, why bother..."

"What nonsense!" Cai Mao shook his long sleeves, "I, Cai Mao, have read the books of sages and sages. How can I be a follower of power? Liu Bei, cough, Xuande and I used to be friends, and I drank a lot with Yuanzhi. Offend the prime minister and just ignore it?"

The butler nodded silently, having basically figured out the master's train of thought.

"The old slave understands. By the way, the old slave asked where are the two daughters of Duke Xuande?"

"Why are you inquiring about this? But I can't stop you if you have to inquire about it. It's up to you."

After the butler left, Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief, showing a slight sneer.

"Meng De doesn't trust me, and I don't trust you either."

·
In the night of early winter, there was no moon and no stars, the dark river kept beating against the embankment, and the icy river wind made the Cao soldiers on the riverside tremble all over, and no one wanted to spend the night on the boat.

In the middle of the night, the tens of thousands of Cao troops in Jiangling were looking for houses to keep warm. Only those who surrendered to the Jingzhou navy were still forced to

Patrolling the river to watch the night, he was staggered by the cold wind.

"I really don't know what to see!"

A Qu Chang was shivering uncontrollably from the cold wind, and viciously threw the wine jug in his hand on the boat, and shouted angrily with a bit of drunkenness:
"You, you, you! It's all of you! At that time I said to follow Liu Xuande, but you just didn't listen! If you follow the old thief, it's..."

"Brother, don't say a few words! You want to die and we don't want to die!" The people around him rushed up and covered the man's mouth with all hands and feet. The man got drunk and threw everyone on their backs.

"Don't say it? I'll say it! I'll say it! I want to see who dares to kill me!" The man jumped up and down, cursing even more vigorously, "Look at you! Coming out of Yiyang Mountain is not to make a living, but to make the world look up to us.

In the past, those powerful families in Jingzhou despised us, Yiyang poor, and bullied us every day. Well, you said that it would be good if Cao Jun came, but Cao Jun came and bullied us.Patrol the camp, patrol the river, I will patrol your mother! "

The man kept yelling, his voice was earth-shattering, like a dog barking in the middle of the night, a group of Jingzhou soldiers really looked down on people from a poor place like Yiyang, but this time the Jingzhou army surrendered without a fight, Cao Jun looked down on them deeply, let these Jingzhou soldiers It is true that they have suffered all kinds of humiliation, coupled with the traditional hobbies passed down from Cao Cao by Cao Jun, recently many female family members in Jiangling City have suffered, and these Jingzhou soldiers can't hold their heads up when they are angry.

Hey, so what?

Cao's army is so powerful that no one in the world dares to compete with it.

Liu Bei and the Jiangdong Alliance can only piece together a maximum of 4 to [-] people, and they will definitely not be able to fight the hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops.

Sooner or later, Jingzhou will become the same as Xuzhou and Jizhou. Even if some people resist sporadically, they will end up being wiped out by the army's backhand.

There is no one who upholds justice in this world, most people are just trying to survive.

That Qu Zhang poured a lot of wine into his mouth again, and with the strength of the wine, he began to yell loudly again, which finally attracted the attention of Cao Jun on the shore.

A group of Cao Jun soldiers came slowly, and one of the leaders, Cao Jun Cavalry Governor, stood on the bank and shouted loudly at the river:
"Who is making noise? Come ashore for me!"

The song leader snorted, wiped his mouth vigorously, and cursed:

"If you let me go ashore, I will go ashore? No, no!"

The cavalry inspector let out a hey, lightly raised the whip in his hand, and said very easily:
"Catch him, if you don't capture this person, you will be punished for rebellion!"

The man's voice seemed light and weak, but the Jingzhou soldiers on the shore saw that he was Liehou Jiaochu, and their hearts shuddered.

Jiao Chu betrayed the Yuan family and joined Cao Cao, cleared the obstacles for Cao Cao in the north, and was later named a lieutenant. Now he is in charge of commanding the Jingzhou navy to patrol the river—you must know that after Liu Cong surrendered, he was also named a lieutenant. Jiao Touch's position in Cao's army.

He didn't pay attention to this group of noisy Jingzhou troops at all. He was a surrender himself, and he knew the mentality of the surrender best.

As long as you promise not to blame everyone and get rid of the person who stands out, the rest will be solved.

Most people have just had a mouthful, who would dare to really rebel.

Then, his eyes cast on the face of that Qu Chang.

"Kill him, and I won't pursue the others. Otherwise, I can only sue the prime minister, saying that Jingzhou people want to rebel."

Everyone in Jingzhou was silent, and they turned their eyes to the head of the song in unison. Helplessness, grief and sympathy were written all over their faces.

"Surrender, don't, don't make unnecessary struggles."

That chief Qu threw the jug into the river, held the steel knife in his hand, and said with a sneer:

"Don't let me struggle anymore? Just struggle, just struggle! It's better to fight than to be a dog for you people!"

Jiao Touch's heart shuddered, knowing that he had run into a reckless man this time.

That being the case, kill him to stand up.

But right here, he clearly saw a boat going upstream in the distance, and the speed of the boat was obviously very fast, and it turned out to be heading straight for the river bank.

Although the atmosphere of war here in Jiangling is not strong, it is a bit too much for a ship to collide so straight. Jiao Touch subconsciously wanted to ask someone to stop him, but he thought that if it was Cao Ren's ship, it would not be outrageous. .

Soon, with the dim light, he saw the silhouette of the coming ship.

That is obviously not the figure of Cao Ren's warship, it is clearly four or five civilian ships...

Where did the civilian boat come from, why did it drive so fast in the middle of the night.

The patrol boats on Cao Junjiang still carried out their missions faithfully.

When they saw these civilian ships approaching quickly, they all moved closer together, and the soldiers on board shouted loudly:

"Who is coming?"

Cao Jun also knew about arranging patrol boats on the river. This was the accumulation of experience given to them by land warfare.

Everyone stared nervously at the civilian ships, waiting for the people on board to answer.

But the boat suddenly opened its sails and quickly fled the shore along the current with the wind, which surprised everyone in Cao Jun.

What, what is this?
"Enemy attack?" Jiao Touch's subordinates immediately prepared to report.

Jiao Touch hurriedly waved his hand to stop it—there were four or five strange ships coming. If an enemy attack alarm was issued, it would make people laugh out loud.

He hesitated for a while. He didn't want to chase at first, but he never expected that those ships would temporarily lower their sails, and the sailors on the boats would turn back again!

"Looking for death!" Jiao Touch felt that he had been insulted, and immediately shouted loudly: "Hurry up, chase after him, if the thief leaves, I'll ask you."
