Chapter 39 The Great Conspiracist Zhang Zhao!

Both Jia Xu's battle report and Lu Yi's report were slightly exaggerated.

In fact, Cao Ren was beaten terribly, but after a few days, more than 8000 people returned to Jiangling one after another.

Among them were some Jingzhou people who were unwilling to mix with Liu Beijun after being captured, such as the loyal Zhang Yun.

After Zhang Yun went ashore, he hugged Cai Hao and cried loudly, telling that he was unyielding after being captured, and fought to the end with Liu Beijun, and finally took advantage of the dark and windy night of a month to secretly snatch a boat and then fled back. Prime Minister Cao has done a good job in his loyalty.

Cai Mao comforted Zhang Yun, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and couldn't help sneering in his heart. He thought that Zhang Yun was really stupid, it would be fine if he didn't come back, but if he came back, it would embarrass everyone. him.

Cao Ren, who came back two days earlier than Zhang Yun, took off his jacket, carried a bundle of firewood on his back, and went to plead guilty to Cao Cao.

He told Cao Cao that, just like what Lu Ji said before, Zhang Yun was actually a spy of Liu Bei's army and Zhuge Liang's biggest spy in Cao's army.

This person commanded blindly in the battle of Xiakou, and let Guan Ping ambush halfway, which led to the complete destruction of the navy commanded by Cao Ren, and countless people rebelled and fled.

After talking about a lot of Zhang Yun's problems, Cao Ren made a self-reflection, saying that he was impatient and assertive in his work, had a single study of water warfare theory, did not go deep into ordinary soldiers enough, and did not give enough guidance to soldiers in battle. There is still a lack of pioneering and comprehensive and in-depth innovation, so I ask Cao Cao to punish him.

Cao Cao was furious. He grabbed the firewood and beat Cao Ren severely.

Cao Cao is not stupid, if Zhang Yun is really an undercover agent, forget about the time he went out with Cao Chun, but this time he went out with Cao Ren, he could have directly led 3 people to Liu Bei, and handed over Cao Ren to receive the reward. All smart people can guess that if Cao Cao followed Cao Ren's example and put all the blame on Zhang Yun, he would be so stupid, so stupid.

Chang Diao carried the dying Cao Ren back with trepidation, beating drums in his heart, for fear that Cao Cao would put Cao Ren in prison in a rage, and cut off all the guards around him to vent his anger.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ren, who was dying, could not stop laughing all the way. Chang Diao thought he had been hit on the head with a stick just now, making him stupid.

"Is the general all right?"

"Hmph, don't worry, some flesh wounds." Cao Ren sneered, "Giant Eagle, just keep your heart in your stomach. If the prime minister is willing to hit me, it means he has forgiven me.

If the prime minister really wants to deal with me, heh, then it's not like beating me up in public.Don't worry, if there is a reward in the future, I will never forget your life-saving. "

Cao Cao beat Cao Ren violently in public, and before that he dealt with Cao Hong severely, in order to prove to everyone that he had no doubts about Jingzhou people.

Now Jiangling rumors are everywhere, saying that Cao Cao's southern expedition is to use the hands of Sun Quan and Liu Bei to kill all Jingzhou people in order to achieve the effect of stabilizing Jingzhou.

In addition, there are rumors that most of the clans in Jingzhou have turned to Liu Bei. As long as Cao Jun sends troops, he will die inexplicably and tragically. Cao Chun and Jiao Touch are the best examples. dying.

People with a little intelligence do not believe these rumors, but as we all know, most people are fond of conspiracy theories. This news began to spread quickly, and it was constantly added. It became more and more discerning, which made the Jingzhou army more and more alienated from the Cao army. The past few days have continued to erupt There have been at least five major conflicts, and even more minor conflicts between them.

When Cai Mao practiced the Northern Army's water battle, some Northern Army soldiers would vomit due to seasickness, and soldiers of the Northern Army would jump out and accuse Cai Mao of sending someone to poison the food.

According to the military law, Cao Cao should kill the person who spread the rumors, but that person was Cao Hong's personal guard. Cao Hong directly hid him in his big tent, where he lived and boarded together, so Cao Cao had no choice.

This hero has been fighting fiercely for many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a scene. For the first time, he deeply realized that the team is not easy to lead when people lose their hearts.

The Jingzhou navy has a total of more than 7 people, and they lost more than [-] people in this battle.

Although Zhang Yun is not from the Jingzhou family, he still has a lot of prestige in the Jingzhou army.

As soon as he came back, all the lies that Cao Ren had made up before would be self-defeating.Although Zhang Yun didn't dare to criticize Cao Ren, the soldiers who escaped had their backs and accused Cao Ren of blindly commanding and ignoring Xu Shu's advice. They slapped Cao Ren's face so hard that Cao Ren's face was slapped. It's swollen, I can't wait to tie up Zhang Yun and give it to Cheng Yu.

·
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Cao Cao had no choice but to summon his staff, and called General Fenwu Cheng Yu who hurried back to Jiangling to discuss the future advance and retreat of Cao Jun.

Cao Cao unfolded the "destroyed" letter from Lu Ji and put it on the table for Cheng Yu to read first. Cheng Yu frowned and looked at it for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"Does the prime minister trust Xu Yuanzhi?"

Xu Shu tried his best to protect Zhang Yun as a loyal minister before, but when Cao Ren just came back, everyone shouted at him.

But now that Zhang Yun has fled back, he has been dubbed "Jiangshang Suwu" by the Jingzhou army, Xu Shu's reputation has also risen greatly, and the faces of those who scolded Xu Shu before are all swollen.

Cheng Yu put together Xu Shu's earnest words of advice and Lu Ji's tearful confession. Cao Cao looked at it horizontally and vertically, and felt that his face was hot, so he could only shake his head slowly, and said frankly:

"I don't believe it. At that time, I didn't believe that this letter was written by Lu Ji. Looking at it now, hey, it really is."

They are all his staff, so Cao Cao naturally has no need to tell lies.

Xu Shu is not Zhang Xi, he must do his best to deal with some documents that are not painful or itchy, but he will never be able to deal with his old master's affairs after surrendering.

He admitted that his weakness of character was caught by the enemy, whether it was Xu Shu or the so-called Lu Ji, they used this point to make trouble repeatedly, causing disastrous consequences, which greatly affected the unity of Cao Jun.

Cheng Yu shook his head and smiled:
"Why wasn't it written by Lu Ji? Sailors who came back said that Guan Ping fought side by side with a young general named Lu Yi, who was Lu Ji's nephew.

I just received news from Jiangdong that Guan Ping went to Jiangdong after the Changbanpo battle and was immediately summoned by Zhang Zhao. "

"Zhang Zhao!"

Cao Cao jumped up against the crime, his cloudy eyes were full of murderous intent.

"What did you say? Zhang Zhao!"

Cheng Yu nodded slowly: "Yes, I don't know what they talked about, but Guan Ping did go to the banquet alone and did not bring Zhuge Liang with him! Well, that person can testify!"

Zhang Zhao's reputation in Jiangdong is very strong, and the people he usually associates with are refined literati and people of high morals. It would make sense if he met Guan Ping by the way when he received Zhuge Liang, but how could it be possible to invite a distraught warrior who had just been beaten to dinner alone!

Chen Lin also exclaimed in surprise:

"I've heard rumors that Zhang Zibu intends to take refuge in the imperial court. Are they all fake?"

Cheng Yu's sad eyes fell on Chen Lin's face, and he smiled and said:

"Naturally it's fake."

"Now I finally understand one thing. Why does Zhang Zhaoming often say that he has a heart for the imperial court? He hasn't made any achievements for so many years, and he frequently sabotages the prime minister's good deeds."

"He did everything he did with Zhou Yu before, and he is the leader of the Jiangdong rebels!

After Sun Ce died that year, they had already started to plan secretly.Prime Minister, we need to change our plans and stop believing in Zhang Zhao's nonsense! "
