Xiaoguangong

Chapter 75 Everything is ready
Xu Shu's recent work is very dedicated.

Every day, he had to deal with a large amount of documents, allocate food, grass and military equipment, coordinate the deployment of various armies, and then write some military summary for Cao Jun's frontline generals.At the beginning, Cao Jun's generals were quite wary of this scribe, but after a long time, they were surprised to find that Xu Shu handled everything in an orderly manner, and the scheduling was extremely fair, and there was no deduction of any materials from him.

Gradually, everyone came to Xu Shu for coordination when they had problems.

Xu Shu used to be a ranger, and traveled all over the world. He was able to discuss martial arts with northerners, and he could also discuss southern witchcraft with southerners. Now that the army is about to be dispatched, more and more people come to ask Xu Shu for advice. It took a whole morning to finally wait for the crowd to disperse, and quickly sneaked into Xu Shu's house with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Yuanzhi, being humble is..."

"It's a giant eagle, please sit down. I'm a son of the Shan family (from a poor family), so I don't need to be polite."

Unexpectedly, Xu Shu recognized Chang Diao's identity, which flattered Chang Diao.Xu Shu used to be an important adviser under Liu Bei, and Chang Diao was just a trusted warrior under Cao Ren's command. Xu Shu actually used the word "please", which really made Chang Diao feel light.

He put two pieces of bacon in front of Xu Shu, and said with a silly smile:

"Chang took the liberty to come to the door to ask Mr. to make a suggestion for a certain. This...hehe, it's not a respect, it's not a respect."

Xu Shu smiled and said:
"The giant eagle called me Yuanzhi. I don't know what to do, but I want to ask about the expedition?"

Chang Diao quickly nodded and looked at Xu Shu expectantly.

Xu Shu sat upright, and said calmly: "Duke Cao will be defeated in this Eastern Expedition. It is better to lead the army back to Xiangyang as soon as possible, so as to have a chance of victory!"

"Ah!" Chang Diao's face turned pale with fright, "Sir, be careful, sir, I... I... I also ask you to advise me, what should I do?"

Chang Diao doesn't know how to swim, and if he loses in a water battle, he may not have a chance of being captured.But he is Cao Ren's personal bodyguard, and he must be the main force in this battle. He can't advance or retreat, so what to do.

Xu Shu smiled lightly, took a pen and ink, and dragged a piece of plain silk to write some words on, put it in a kit, and handed it to Chang Diao calmly.

"When the army is defeated, if you open this kit, you will be able to keep the general safe. But after going out, Xu will never admit that this is what Xu did..."

"I understand, I understand!" Chang Diao couldn't help nodding, and said with a silly smile: "Thank you, Mr. Yuan Zhi, I don't know how I can repay Mr.

Xu Shu's smile was quite calm, and he helped his hat:
"It's easy too."

·
Cai Hao had the absolute upper hand in the wrestling with Cao Cao. He now has an army of [-], which is already the majority of Cao Jun's navy, and it is the key to Cao Jun's victory in this battle.

Cao Cao not only did not pursue Cai Mao's previous behavior of beating Cao Hong, but also directly appointed Cai Mao as the governor, Jingzhou Mu, and Zhennan General-Jingzhou Mu and Zhennan General Liu Biao's previous official positions, which shows that Cao Cao is really too lazy to stay in Jingzhou for a long time.Regardless of the outcome of this battle, Cao Cao will hand over all Jingzhou to Cai Mao's jurisdiction, and he will have far more power than Liu Biao back then.

Satisfied, Cai Mao decided to perform well in this battle.

This was not because he wanted to work hard for Cao Cao, but because Sun Quan had already opened the east gate of Jingzhou by killing Huang Zu.What's more, Cai Mao's taking over as Jingzhou Mu is tantamount to selling the old master Liu Cong directly. He has to make some achievements to prove to the Jingzhou family that he is capable and worth relying on.

Cao Cao sent a large amount of information he had harvested to Cai Mao's army. Of course, Cai Mao also saw the news on the desk that Nanyang young general Yunshan was surrounded by Xiakou and Zhao Yan refused to support him.

Knowing that Yunshan was Guan Ping's pseudonym, he sneered in his heart.

This kid Guan Ping is really daring, he really has a big appetite.Hmph, okay, it's a pity, nephew, that you blocked my way this time, so don't blame me for being rude.

"Liu Bei is useless." He murmured and sighed, and told a samurai in armor next to him, "How much 'loss' in our own army is, and all of it will be counted on Guan Ping. I will tell his identity to Meng De .”

The armored warrior was in his mid-thirties, with a pair of thick eyebrows full of solemnity, and sighed after hearing this:

"General, why should I fight Liu Gong? With Liu Gong here, the Cao thief will always use the general, and when Ping is here, the general can have both sides, always..."

Cai Hao waved his hand:

"Zhong Miao, why don't I want to raise a thief to be self-respecting? But Liu Bei is a hero, and he is quite popular. If I raise a thief, I raise a tiger. This is very wrong.

I have helped Meng De a lot by eliminating Sun Liu this time.Tell me about the collusion between Guan Ping and Chen Qun. With Meng De's suspicion, he will be divorced from the Yingchuan scholars in the future, so that I, a Jingzhou scholar, can gradually stand firm in the court.You have a bright future, and I am doing this for your own good. "

The armored warrior bit his lip and shook his head silently, expressing that he didn't want to do such a thing.

Cai Hao didn't make things difficult for him, but stretched slowly:
"You see, you also have your heart for Liu Bei, so how can I raise the tiger with peace of mind. This time, I will lead the army to the Yangtze River to hold Zhou Yu, and Zhao Yan will go to the Han River again. First capture Guan Ping, and Xiakou will be broken.

At that time, Zhou Yu's back was cut off, where else could he go?Hey, they can't even beat Huang Zu for so many years, can they still beat me, Cai Mao?In less than a month, I can behead Liu Bei. "

He called his housekeeper, and was going to let him go to Cao Junzhong, but seeing the face of the housekeeper was full of shock, he couldn't help frowning:
"There are no outsiders, just speak up."

The steward looked at the armored warriors around him in horror, and said in a low voice:
"An accident happened to Xu Shu! The head of the guard around Cao Ren went to Xu Shu's home to ask for advice. It is said that Xu Shu spoke rudely, saying that the battle was about to be lost, but Chang Diao was so hot-tempered that he beat Xu Shu seriously! Master, this..."

Cai Hao was surprised at first, then his face turned livid:
"Is Xu Shu cheating?"

"Impossible. The prime minister has already sent a military doctor to investigate. I heard that Xu Shu's tendons and bones were broken and he couldn't get up. He can't recover in three or five months!"

The armored warrior looked shocked, not knowing what was going on, Cai Mao circled his hands behind his back a few times, his face became more and more serious: "Prepare the car! No, Zhong Miao, you will go and see Mr. Xu for me, and then go Prime Minister's Mansion, please prime minister to arrest Chang Diao and hold him accountable!"

With his hands behind his back, he kept turning around in the room. It was cold in the middle of winter, but the sweat on Cai Mao's face kept rolling out, obviously he was very entangled in his heart.

After a long time, he turned around abruptly and said loudly, "Zhong Miao!"

The armored warrior smiled bitterly and said:

"Uncle Shi, I haven't left yet!"

Cai Mao took a piece of plain silk from the housekeeper, and gently wiped the sweat off his face.When he took away the plain silk, a gentle and quite upright look appeared on his face, which made the armored warrior take two steps back in fright.

"Zhong Miao, cough, I heard that there is a great epidemic in our army, and many sons have fallen ill?"

The warrior shook his head and said:

"It's because everyone in the Northern Army fell ill because of dissatisfaction. Our army..."

Seeing Cai Mao shaking his head quickly like a rattle, he was a little dazed for a while.

"Let's not talk about this—" Cai Mao cast his eyes on the butler standing beside him, "I heard that you asked where Brother Liu's daughter is before?"

The butler nodded:
"Returning to the master, the old slave had many things before, so I made some inquiries on my own initiative. I heard that the two daughters of Duke Xuande were imprisoned in Cao Chun's army before. Duke Cao wanted to marry them to the nephew of the Cao family, but Cao Chun died later. stop.

Now Cao Hong guards Jiangling, but he doesn't know where to transfer the two daughters. "

Cai Mao nodded and said:
"Hey, Xuande and I are life-and-death friends. Although each is the master, his two daughters are young and trapped in the army. How can I, as an uncle, feel at ease? Zhong Miao, when our army is dispatched, what do you find?" In the dead of night, go ask where Cao Hong's second daughter is."

"Why do you want to find a time when the night is quiet?"

"Of course... I'm afraid that Zilian's recovery will be delayed. As the saying goes, he has been injured for a hundred days, and he just walked on the ground for more than a month. He must have hidden diseases in the future. Your Huo family's bone-setting skills are not easy to spread, so find someone Use it in the dead of night."

"Uh..." The samurai became more and more at a loss, "I, my family, have no medical skills."

"Impossible, Brother Ling used to be a good player in this way." Cai Mao pulled out his long sword from his waist, and slammed it heavily on the pen holder in front of him. With a chilling muffled sound, the wooden pen holder immediately shattered into two pieces. .

"Remember? If you dare to do it, you are a famous doctor! Not only can heal the body, but he can also heal the country."
