Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!
Chapter 92 Cao Cao: Fengxiao, if Fengxiao was still there, how could it be like this?How could it be
Chapter 92 Cao Cao: Fengxiao, if Fengxiao was still there, how could it be like this?How could it be so?
Xiangyang City, outside the prefect’s mansion;
Zhang Fei, with a leopard's head and ringed eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, strode forward like a galloping horse!
Zhang Fei was still angry after being whipped in the military camp just now.
However, Uncle Liu Huang and the military advisor had a plan, and Zhang Fei was reluctant but did not dare not to come.
"Big brother!"
"military adviser!"
"I'm here!"
Zhang Fei already had a rough voice, but no one in the prefect's mansion could hear his voice.
The concierge knew Zhang Fei and did not dare to stop him.
He just hurriedly sent someone inside to report to the lord and the military advisor.
"Get out of the way!"
"Where are my elder brother and military advisor!?"
The clerk in the prefect's mansion was grabbed by Zhang Fei's collar. He turned pale for a moment and said in a trembling voice: "In reply to General Zhang, my lord and the military advisor are waiting in the hall."
As he spoke, the clerk raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the inner hall.
Zhang Fei then loosened his collar and let the clerk slip to the ground.
Dragon and tiger steps, running towards the inner hall of the prefect's mansion!
It's February and the weather is getting warmer.
Although the clothes on his body have not yet begun to fade, the heater originally placed in the center of the hall has been removed.
Instead, there are four unique and elegant bronze four-corner incense burners.
In the main hall, sandalwood overflows, making people feel relaxed and happy.
At the front desk of the hall, chess pieces are displayed on the slips.
Liu Xuande, with his hands above his knees, long ears and broad face, was sitting upright in a warm yellow robe with wide sleeves.
With his right hand, he twisted the black hair, and with his left hand, he stretched out his two fingers and tapped lightly on the document.
Quite melodic.
Sitting facing him was Liu Bei's chief military advisor;
——Zhuge Wende!
Zhuge Ming, who was holding a white piece, was also sitting upright, dressed in white clothes and a turban, and gently shaking his feather fan.
Talent is not stained by dust, and the sleeves are full of fairy wind.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a man from heaven descending to earth, with a heroic appearance!
Elegant temperament and suave.
The counselor Jian Yong stood on one side and watched the chess without saying a word.
Zhuge Ming picked up a white coin between his slender fingers and stretched out his long sleeves with a warm smile.
Hey!
The white piece landed crisply on the chessboard.
Liu Bei's fingers tapping on the document suddenly stopped, and the corners of his mouth opened slightly.
Looking at the situation on the chessboard, I couldn't help but gasp.
"Crash!"
Uncle Liu Huang picked up several black stones and landed them in the corner of the chessboard.
With a bit of shame on his face, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "A great military strategist should be prepared to be ashamed of himself."
"Currently, Heizi's vitality has been reduced. The remaining routes are still being planned by the military advisor."
"Bei had no choice but to abandon his son and surrender."
Zhuge Ming stood up with a smile and supported Liu Bei.
"My lord is a handsome man and a general."
"The art of war and strategy are naturally not his strengths."
"Those who are known to be talented generals can lead troops."
"That's why we can gain something on the chessboard."
The two stood up hand in hand. Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Ming, who was as graceful as an immortal in front of him, and felt in a trance.
"I'm so lucky to have Brother Wen De as my assistant!"
"If Brother Wende is willing, the position prepared can be handed over to Brother Wende at any time."
"I believe that as soon as Brother Wende is here, we can kill Cao's thieves and restore the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Bei held Zhuge Ming's hands tightly, his expression was sincere and his words were sonorous.
"My lord is so frank with each other, I don't dare to hide anything anymore!"
Zhuge Ming looked at ease and said slowly: "My ambition is not in the temple, but in the common people."
"When I was willing to follow my lord out of the mountains, I didn't want to see tens of thousands of Xinye people die tragically under Cao's sword."
"I will help my lord restore the Han Dynasty tomorrow. I just want to return to Wolonggang, Nanyang."
"Live the leisurely life of a mountain villager."
When Uncle Liu Huang heard this, his eyes turned red, "Brother Wen De has the world in his heart, I admire you greatly!"
"It's ridiculous that thief Cao still wants to use poisonous tactics to drive a wedge between you and me. Does he know that our friendship is as strong as a mountain?"
"Thief Cao's plan is not to alienate the lord and Ming."
Zhuge Ming slowly shook his head and said confidently: "My lord, I have great trust in Ming."
"All major military and aircraft matters are left in the hands of one man, Ming."
"How could Thief Cao not know this kind of trust?"
"Oh?"
"Brother Wen De, what do you mean by this?"
Zhuge Ming explained: "Cao Cao's plan is not to alienate the lord and Ming, but to alienate the generals."
"It causes the superiors and subordinates to be separated from each other, and the ruler and his ministers are detached from their virtue."
"If this is the case, it means Ming has a careful plan and strategizing. If the soldiers are separated, they will not be able to resist Cao Cao."
Uncle Liu Huang looked troubled and said worriedly: "What should we do!?"
"Don't worry, my lord, this plan has been broken!"
Zhuge Ming smiled and shook his feather fan lightly, "The so-called Yi De army is to defeat Cao Cao's treacherous plan!"
"I'm afraid that at this moment, the counselors beside Cao Cao will be furious when they learn that the carefully arranged alienation plan was unintentionally broken by Yide."
Liu Bei saw that Zhuge Ming was confident and felt very at ease at the moment.
"I didn't expect that Yide had no intention of inserting himself into the enemy, but he defeated Cao Cao's treacherous plan!"
"When he comes here later, I have to give him a good compliment!"
The monarch and his ministers sat facing each other, chatting and laughing.
When Liu Bei received Zhuge Wen's virtue, he could make Mount Tai collapse in front of him without changing his appearance, and make the elk thrive on the left without blinking his eyes.
Cao Cao allowed him to send an army of 56 troops to the south, and Zhuge's military advisor was stationed in Xiangyang.
Jingzhou is solid!
"Big brother!"
"military adviser!"
Bang!
Zhang Fei strode into the main hall and pushed open the door.
The leopard's head looks around at the tiger, its beard and hair spread out!
"Brother! Military advisor!"
"You are in a hurry to recruit me, but there is a battle to be fought!?"
Zhang Fei grasped it in the air. If he had the eight-foot-long snake spear in his hand, he could not wait to kill the enemy right away!
Zhuge Ming and Liu Bei looked at each other, and then looked at Zhang Yide in the hall, with smiles on their faces.
"Our Yide is really a wise general. Cao Cao's plan was discovered by Yide!"
Zhuge Ming shook his feather fan lightly and laughed.
Liu Bei, who was sitting beside him, also laughed and added fuel to the fire: "Second brother, this time you have made such a grand duke, tell me, what reward do you want?"
"What's the plot!?"
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei and Zhuge Ming who were laughing tremblingly, and some monks Zhang Er were confused.
"What is Thief Cao going to do again!?"
In the main hall, Liu Bei and Zhuge Ming looked at each other and smiled, but did not explain.
The anxious audience member Zhang Fei scratched his ears and cheeks, and his round face that was already dark and rosy now looked even more rosy.
"Brother, military advisor!"
"What the hell are you two talking about? Tell me quickly."
"You guys are making me, Lao Zhang, so anxious!"
Zhang Fei kicked his feet anxiously. As for the strategy, he didn't use all his strength to make a move.
It seemed like there were thousands of ants crawling all over me.
In the end, Jian Yong stood aside and couldn't stand it anymore, and asked the military advisor for instructions.
He took a step forward, narrowed his eyes and smiled and explained: "General Yide, this is a rumor spread by Cao Cao and a tactic to alienate people."
After saying that, Jian Yong gave Zhang Fei a thumbs up and praised him profusely: "Who knew that our General Yide was so wise and courageous that he defeated Cao Cao's treacherous plan."
After hearing Jian Yong's explanation, Zhang Fei's eyes rolled as he stood there.
It took a long time to sort out the matter.
Zhang Fei's broad hands were at a loss to straighten his hair, and his round face was dark and red.
Enjoying the admiring glances from Zhuge Ming and others, he said happily: "Ah, hahaha!"
"Hey, I did it on purpose!"
"I have actually known for a long time that traitor Cao would have such a treacherous plan!"
After finally getting a chance to show off his prestige, Zhang Fei was naturally not willing to let it go.
Zhang Fei took advantage of this east wind to continue to add gold to his face.
In fact, he failed this plan by accident.
He really didn't know about Cao Cao's plan.
Above the main seat in the inner hall;
Liu Bei and Zhuge Ming remained silent, smiling at Zhang Fei's naive face.
clang! ——
The noon clock rings!
Liu Bei stood up, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Since Yide has made such a great contribution, how about setting up a celebration banquet for the second brother here?"
Zhang Fei looked excited, widened his eyes and said, "Really big brother?"
"Then can I drink?"
Liu Bei smiled and looked at Zhuge Ming, who shook his feather fan lightly.
He nodded and said, "It's okay to drink, but you have to limit it."
"Don't get drunk!"
"The relationship is good too!"
Zhang Fei grinned;
As soon as he opened his mouth, saliva began to flow from the corners of his mouth.
It would be quite naive if he didn't mention the eight-foot-long snake spear.
Since Cao Cao was preparing to march his army south, Zhuge Ming issued a ban on alcohol in the army.
If there is any violation, the first violation will be punished by fifty rods, and the second violation will be punished on the spot!
The ban controls the entire army, from the lord Liu Bei to the military cooks, regardless of official position!
If there is any violation, it will be dealt with!
Because of this ban, Zhang Fei, who was addicted to alcohol, started to rebel long ago.
I will be happy to drink wine today.
Under Jian Yong's arrangement, a simple banquet was quickly set up.
The only people present at the table were Liu Bei, Zhuge Ming, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong.
Although it was an accident, Zhang Fei did succeed in defeating Cao Cao's plot this time.
Therefore, Zhuge Ming made an exception for Zhang Fei and placed a small jar of fine wine in front of Zhang Fei alone.
Others still have to comply with the ban and are not allowed to drink alcohol.
Ever since the small jar of fine wine was served, Zhang Fei's eyes never wandered away.
The tan collar was already wet with the saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Although the lord Liu Bei was present, Zhuge Ming always sat in the main seat.
"Yide, I won't trouble you anymore."
"Eat and drink!"
"You are the hero today!"
Zhuge Ming was suave and composed.
Only after the military advisor spoke, Zhang Fei dared to move the table.
"Thank you, strategist! Thank you, big brother!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei grabbed the jar of fine wine, raised his neck and drank heartily.
He was so naive that some of the people present were suppressing laughter.
"My lord, now that Cao Cao has used this plan, even though Yide has defeated it, this matter cannot be let go."
Zhuge Ming picks up vegetables and cooks rice, and his gestures are extremely elegant.
Compared to Zhang Fei's delicious meal, his face was full of rice grains and meat foam.
It's like heaven and earth.
When Liu Bei heard this, he stopped picking up the food and looked happy.
"Does the military advisor have a countermeasure?"
"Not bad!"
Zhuge Ming picked up a piece of venison and said calmly: "Since Cao Cao is trying to alienate us, we might as well return the favor!"
Uncle Liu Huang's eyes flashed with light, and he asked with great expectation: "What's the plan!?"
"Let's use the trick and give him a counter-intuitive plan!"
Zhuge Ming put the venison in his chopsticks into his rice bowl and continued to explain: "We can use spies to send false information to Cao Cao!"
"This is a great plan!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately understood what Zhuge Ming meant.
He directly put down the bowl and chopsticks, clapped his hands together, and exclaimed: "Destrange Jia Xu!?"
"Exactly!"
Zhuge Ming nodded slightly, already confident about the progress of this matter.
"Since Cao Cao is stationed in Wancheng, let him see things and miss people!"
Zhuge Ming and Liu Bei already communicated with each other in just a few words.
Zhang Fei, who was drinking heavily and eating meat, naturally did not understand the plan of his elder brother and the military advisor.
He just buried his head in feasting to satisfy his gluttony.
When Jian Yong, who was sitting at the last table, heard the word "Wancheng", he understood the plan of his lord and the military advisor.
After reacting, I couldn't help but sigh.
"The military advisor is truly a genius!"
The Battle of Wancheng will always be an indelible shadow in Cao Cao's heart.
I am not afraid that Cao Cao will see through this simple counterintuitive plan, but given Cao Cao's suspicious character.
It is inevitable to be suspicious of Jia Xu!
At the beginning, Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Xuchang, thus gaining a huge advantage in using the emperor to control the princes.
However, Cao Cao's situation at that time was not very optimistic.
Because at that time Cao Cao faced threats from princes such as Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao.
To break the deadlock, Cao Cao must make some decisions and actions.
Especially after Lu Bu captured Xuzhou, the conflict between Cao Cao and Lu Bu also escalated.
Under such a sharp contradiction, Wancheng, where Zhang Xiu was located, became the target that Cao Cao wanted to attack.
Although Zhang Xiu was not as powerful as Cao Cao at that time, his subordinates Jia Xu and others were quite powerful. Therefore, Zhang Xiu also posed a considerable threat to Cao Cao during the Battle of Wancheng.
In the first month of the following year, Cao Cao led his army to Feishui in the north of Wancheng and launched an attack.
For Zhang Xiu, the overall military strength of Wancheng was too different from that of Cao Cao. In addition, Cao Cao had a huge moral advantage by holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.
Therefore, Zhang Xiu chose Kaicheng to surrender.
Originally, things should have ended successfully like this, but unfortunately during the process of Zhang Xiu's surrender, Prime Minister Cao's old habit relapsed.
He occupied Zhang Ji's widow, Mrs. Zou.
Just as Cao Cao was happily preparing to return to Xuchang, Zhang Xiu's men set an ambush.
Dian Wei!
Cao Cao and his close-knit general were lured to Wancheng by Zhang Xiu's plan and stole the two halberds.
To protect the Prime Minister, he died of exhaustion!
Dian Wei was not only Cao Cao's right-hand man, but also an outstanding general. He also saved Cao Cao's life in danger many times.
As the world knows, Dian Wei will not die, and Xu Chu will not come out.If Dian Wei had not died, Tiger Marquis Xu Chu would not be in the position he is today.
Dian Wei's sacrifice was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Cao Cao!
After Dian Wei died, Cao Cao was forced to lead his troops to evacuate Wancheng.
During this extremely embarrassing escape, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin accompanied him.
Cao Cao's war horse was killed by Zhang Xiu's troops on the way, and Cao Cao was in danger.
At this critical moment, Cao Ang did not hesitate to donate his war horse to his father Cao Cao to help him get rid of his pursuers.However, Cao Ang and Cao Anmin both died in this war!
In the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao lost his beloved general Dian Wei, his eldest son Cao Ang, and his nephew Cao Anmin!
The sacrifices of these important figures dealt an extremely heavy blow to Cao Cao.
It also made him cast a lingering shadow on Wancheng.
As the most important counselor under Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu followed Cao Cao after the Battle of Wancheng.
Although the Battle of Wancheng has passed, Cao Cao has not completely let down his guard against Jia Xu deep in his heart.
Now that Cao Cao is stationed in Wancheng, it is inevitable that he will not recall what happened back then.
Because of this, Zhuge Ming came up with this plan!
Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, so let him see things and think about people at this time, and don't be afraid that he will not mess up!
After briefly discussing the specific matters with Zhuge Ming, Liu Bei immediately called for paper and pen.
I immediately started writing a letter.
The letter was deliberately omitted and altered.Due to the new plan, except for Zhang Fei who still enjoyed the lunch, the other three were a little absent-minded.
Uncle Liu Huang had something on his mind. After hastily finishing the dinner, he personally took the letter to the prison.
Xiangyang City, inside the prison!
Zazaza——
The heavy door was slowly opened by the jailer.
There was no sunlight entering the prison, and only oil lamps and candles hung on the walls provided lighting.
Dark and damp!
From time to time there would be a sound of water dripping.
As Liu Bei entered, rats and insects hiding in the corner began to scurry all over the floor.
Under the leadership of the jailer, Liu Bei walked into the innermost cell.
Dim lights illuminated the cell.
Mi Fang was wearing a prison uniform, with heavy shackles on her hands and feet.
At this time, he was huddled in the corner, half dead.
"Mi Fang!"
Liu Bei looked reserved, with his hands behind his back.
Mi Fang, who was huddled in the corner, trembled when she heard this.
He almost rolled over and crawled over, saying in a crying voice: "Brother, I am the unjust one!"
"I did those things just to leave a way out for you, brother!"
"Big brother!"
"okay!"
Liu Bei suddenly fluttered his sleeves, a bit of anger appearing on his face.
"Mi Fang, for having an affair with Cao Cao's thief, should have been punished by death!"
"Commander Zhuge still has a use for thinking about you, and I will give you a chance to redeem yourself and make meritorious service!"
With that said, Liu Bei raised the letter he had just written in his hand.
"I want you to deliver this letter to the spies!"
"If you do this, you won't even have a chance to survive!"
"Would you like to?"
Mi Fang knelt on the ground and raised her hands high to take the letter.
Crying bitterly, she said: "Brother is willing to give me a chance, how dare Mi Fang refuse..."
……
Wancheng, Prime Minister's Mansion.
After the divorce plan was given, the scribes in the army immediately wrote many rumors.
Even the highly popular country nursery rhymes are filled with rumors!
Nothing goes wrong this time, just waiting for the good news to come from Jingzhou.
"Report! Letter from Jingzhou!"
The scout sent a secret report, and Cao Cao became energetic.
He immediately summoned five counselors including Xun You and Jia Xu.
I want to witness with them the moment when the divorce plan succeeds.
In the palace, the prime minister was held high, and the five military advisors gradually took their seats.
On the table beside the prime minister, there was a secret letter sent by the scout.
The five military advisors also had some speculations about this summons.
Thinking about it, the news must have come back from Jingzhou.
Before opening the secret envelope, Zhong Yao stood up and said with a smile:
"Congratulations, Prime Minister! Congratulations, Prime Minister! The plan of alienation is successful. Liu Bei and his ministers are separated from each other. If you don't attack, you will fail!"
When Cao Cao heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He opened the confidential envelope again and read the contents of the letter with great anticipation.
After reading the contents of the letter clearly, the smile on Cao Cao's face completely froze.
He stood up suddenly, frowning and glaring with anger!
Cao Cao threw the secret letter to the ground and cursed angrily:
"Trash! A bunch of trash!"
The prime minister was so angry that an ominous premonition emerged in the hearts of the five counselors.
Could it be that……
Zhong Yao couldn't believe it.
This plan is perfect and there is absolutely no possibility of cracking it.
Unless Zhuge Wende has the extraordinary ability to silence the people of Xiangyang.
Otherwise, the alienation plan will definitely succeed!
"Look, take a good look! Look at your plan!"
Cao Cao pointed at the secret letter on the ground and scolded him sternly.
Zhong Yao stepped forward quickly and picked up the secret letter.
In the secret letter, it is recorded that Zhang Fei whipped the cloth in public and cleverly resolved the dispute.
After reading the contents of the letter, Zhong Yao was completely stunned.
He couldn't believe his eyes.
Zhang Fei...
Zhang Fei!
It turned out to be that rough, arrogant and reckless man with thick eyebrows and big eyes!
The brilliant plan thought up by the collective efforts of five people was easily resolved by a reckless man with brute strength!
If you can't beat him with a whip, you'll kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!
This is not only a statement of intention, but also a set of rules!
This is telling the whole world that Zhuge Wende, the shepherd of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei’s group are united and there is no objection!
Anyone who disobeys will be whipped!
Zhuge Wende's Jingzhou shepherd has been given an upright position, and no one is allowed to make arbitrary comments!
I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!
The seemingly impeccable alienation plan actually has such a reckless method.
Zhong Yao staggered back several steps and fell on the chair.
His eyes were blank, and his whole person looked much older.
Zhong Yao's appearance aroused the curiosity of the other four people.
What exactly was written in the secret letter?Is it so powerful?
What ingenious method did Zhuge Wende use to defeat their alienation plan?
The four of them stepped forward and carefully read the contents of the letter.
But after reading it, the four of them looked at each other in shock and didn't say a word for a long time!
"This……"
Cheng Yu was furious, a mouthful of blood surged into his throat, and he swallowed it hard!
Chen Qun's face turned pale.
He originally thought that the person who could break the divorce plan would be Zhuge Wende.
If Zhuge Wende could really defeat this alienation plot, he would be convinced of the defeat.
But who could have expected it.
The five people worked hard to create a poisonous plan tailored for Zhuge Wende.
He didn't even get a chance to meet Zhuge Wende.
It was broken by Zhang Fei!
Chen Qun was confused and asked anxiously:
"Why Zhang Fei?"
"Could it be that this is also Zhuge Wende's plan?"
"Deliberately designed Zhang Fei to disgust us? To destroy our military morale?"
Jia Xu shook his head when he heard this, and Xun You also shook his head.
The two looked at each other, and then Xun You sighed and said:
"If Zhuge Wende broke his plan, he would never beat around the bush like this."
"This is what Zhang Fei did!"
"All our plans were ruined by Zhang Fei, a reckless man!"
There was reluctance and frustration in Xun You's tone!
Because he firmly believes that if Zhang Fei, a fool, hadn't interfered, the alienation plan would have been impossible to break!
A plan that was bound to work would go awry in the most unexpected place.
Who can be convinced by this?
Hearing the unwillingness of several counselors, Cao Cao became even more angry.
He pointed at the secret letter on the desk and scolded:
"Zhang Fei has no brains! He actually announced this in public! Then he whipped his subordinates for this!"
"One thoughtless person and one reckless act dispelled your rumors?"
"Didn't you ever consider this when you were coming up with your plan?"
"What do you do for food?!"
The five people who were still unwilling at first felt their faces burning after hearing Cao Cao's reprimand!
Unexpectedly, wise men like them would lose to Zhang Fei!
Looking at the five people who lowered their eyebrows and said nothing, Cao Cao felt a headache.
He raised his hand to his forehead and stumbled back to his seat.
Seeing this, Xun You and others were hurriedly concerned:
"Prime Minister!"
"Prime Minister!"
Cao Cao shook his head, waved his hands, and said with disappointment:
"Go down, all go down, let Guqing be pure and clean."
The Prime Minister is like this, Xun You and others feel like their faces are on fire!
Chang Ping's defeat to Zhuge Wende can be said to be due to a single move.
But... But this time, it was all given to a reckless man...
Hey... How can this be said in the past?
The five of them pondered for a moment, and finally left without saying a word.
It’s not that I don’t know what to say.
But, I have no shame to say it!
After the five people left, Cao Cao leaned back on the chair.
He closed his eyes and held his forehead, sighing:
"Fengxiao, if Fengxiao was still there, how could it be like this? How could it be like this..."
……
Night falls;
Lights gradually lit up in Wancheng.
There was no moon this night, and thick clouds shrouded the sky above Wancheng.
A sense of chilling and depression quietly surged into the hearts of the people in Wancheng.
After many years, Cao Cao returned to this place that he couldn't bear to look back on.
Going south to Jingzhou, Wancheng is the most important strategic buffer.
Cao Cao's temporary Chinese army tent was also set up here.
Above the city, the cold wind howled, and the soldiers on duty did not dare to take it lightly.
In the dark night, a dark shadow entered the city from the side gate!
Wancheng Nei
Zhang Xiu's former residence is now temporarily requisitioned as the prime minister's residence.
When Wancheng surrendered, no brutal siege broke out.
Although there were some changes later, the damage to the city was minimal.
Therefore, in Wancheng today, the buildings in the city are relatively well preserved.
If possible, Cao Cao would not want to camp in Wancheng.
But the strategic location here is extremely important, and it has to be so after weighing the pros and cons.
In the main hall
Cao Cao, wearing a gilded robe, sat upright in front of the case, holding a candle and thinking deeply.
Don't be angry!
On the table, there are several chess pieces.
Each chess piece represents its corresponding deployment of troops.
Under the chess pieces, there is a detailed map of the nine counties of Jingzhou.
The location of Xiangyang City is explained by eye-catching vermilion ink.
If you want to capture the nine counties of Jingzhou, you must defeat Xiangyang!
Looking at the strategic deployment in front of him, Cao Cao kept deducing it in his mind.
Without the assistance of Shence Zhuge, they could completely rely on their military superiority to crush them all the way.
What can Liu Bei do with the mere 30 Jingzhou troops he just took over to resist the 56 elite army?
It's just that now that Zhuge has Shence, he has an absolute advantage in military strength.
Cao Cao didn't dare to entrust him easily!
At this moment, a sound outside the house disturbed Cao Cao's thoughts.
"Prime Minister, there is news from Jingzhou!"
A guard stood outside the door and announced softly.
Cao Cao suddenly raised his head, his eyes deep and sharp.
"Let him in!"
"Here!"
Tatata!
The door was opened cautiously, and the spy from Cao Ying, still wearing night clothes, entered respectfully.
After meeting with Prime Minister Cao, he immediately handed over the letter in his hand.
Cao Cao took the letter and waved the visitor away.
Then he pulled the lamp on the side closer, turned on the kerosene light, and carefully read the contents of the letter.
However, after reading this letter several times, Cao Cao still felt a little confused.
What does this letter mean?
Liu Bei wrote to Jia Xu?
Cao Cao looked at the deliberately omitted and altered content in the letter and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Is this a counter-intentional plan? Do you want to do this in front of me?"
"Liu Bei is so stupid! He thought that I, Cao Cao, would be capable of such childish tactics!"
"It's absurd!"
After a while of banter, Cao Cao pressed the letter under the lamp holder.
Continue to meditate on the situation in Jingzhou.
After turning on the lamp several times, the situation in Jingzhou was still trying to figure out a way to break the situation, and sleepiness had already welled up in his mind.
Cao Cao stood up and took the lamp with him.
Escorted by several maids, he walked out of the main hall.
Woohoo—
As soon as I stepped out of the main hall, a night breeze with a bit of spring chill blew in my face.
Cao Cao subconsciously tightened his clothes and looked up.
The sky was gray and there were no stars.
This gust of cold wind suddenly sobered up my originally groggy mind.
Standing in the courtyard, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of many past events.
The defeat of Wancheng seems like just yesterday!
The haze that seemed to be gradually dissipating enveloped Cao Cao's mind again.
Under the dim candlelight, Cao Cao's face was ashen!
He thought of Cao Ang, Dian Wei, and Cao Anmin who died in the battle!
These three extremely important people in Cao Cao's life all died in Wancheng.
Then the night wind blew by again, blowing Cao Cao's hair and beard randomly.
But at this time, Cao Cao was lost in his thoughts and was unaware of the outside world.
Cao Cao paused for a long time, and a maid beside him reminded him softly: "Prime Minister, it's late at night, it's time to go back and rest."
"There's a strong stroke in the hospital, and I'm worried about catching a cold."
After regaining consciousness, Cao Cao pressed his temples with both hands. When the cold wind blew, his headache began to attack again.
In the end, he could only return to the dormitory with the help of his maid.
Cao Cao, who was lying on the couch, had a splitting headache and couldn't sleep.
It was not until late at night that the headache improved slightly.
Half asleep and half awake, Cao Cao suddenly recalled the Battle of Wancheng in his mind!
It seems that I saw Cao Ang, Dian Wei and Cao Anmin again!
When planning this moment, the culprit who led to the tragic deaths of the three beloved generals was none other than Zhang Xiu!
Zhang Xiu!
Wasn't Jia Xu the first counselor in Zhang Xiu's hands?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly sat up in shock!
"Jia Xu!"
The people on duty outside the house heard Cao Cao's screams and lit their lamps one after another and went inside.
"Prime Minister!?"
"go out!"
"Get out!"
Cao Cao held onto the bed with one hand and his head with the other.
In his excitement, Cao Cao began to suffer from migraines again.
After the soldiers on duty retreated in fear, Cao Cao lay down on his bed again.
For a moment, he began to feel doubtful again.
What kind of correspondence did Jia Xu and Liu Bei have?
Cao Cao, who broke out in a cold sweat, couldn't sleep.
He knew that this was Liu Bei's treacherous plan, but even though he knew it was a divorce plan, he still had doubts about Jia Xu.
If Jia Xu only wanted to avenge Zhang Xiu and others...
If the Battle of Wancheng happened again...
impossible!Absolutely impossible!
At this time, Cao Cao had begun to doubt Jia Xu.
I would rather let the world fail me than let the world fail me!
This is Cao Cao's wise saying!
What's more, Jia Xu was still Zhang Xiu's old subordinate.
Both in terms of emotion and reason, Cao Cao had to have reservations about Jia Xu!
(End of this chapter)
Xiangyang City, outside the prefect’s mansion;
Zhang Fei, with a leopard's head and ringed eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, strode forward like a galloping horse!
Zhang Fei was still angry after being whipped in the military camp just now.
However, Uncle Liu Huang and the military advisor had a plan, and Zhang Fei was reluctant but did not dare not to come.
"Big brother!"
"military adviser!"
"I'm here!"
Zhang Fei already had a rough voice, but no one in the prefect's mansion could hear his voice.
The concierge knew Zhang Fei and did not dare to stop him.
He just hurriedly sent someone inside to report to the lord and the military advisor.
"Get out of the way!"
"Where are my elder brother and military advisor!?"
The clerk in the prefect's mansion was grabbed by Zhang Fei's collar. He turned pale for a moment and said in a trembling voice: "In reply to General Zhang, my lord and the military advisor are waiting in the hall."
As he spoke, the clerk raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the inner hall.
Zhang Fei then loosened his collar and let the clerk slip to the ground.
Dragon and tiger steps, running towards the inner hall of the prefect's mansion!
It's February and the weather is getting warmer.
Although the clothes on his body have not yet begun to fade, the heater originally placed in the center of the hall has been removed.
Instead, there are four unique and elegant bronze four-corner incense burners.
In the main hall, sandalwood overflows, making people feel relaxed and happy.
At the front desk of the hall, chess pieces are displayed on the slips.
Liu Xuande, with his hands above his knees, long ears and broad face, was sitting upright in a warm yellow robe with wide sleeves.
With his right hand, he twisted the black hair, and with his left hand, he stretched out his two fingers and tapped lightly on the document.
Quite melodic.
Sitting facing him was Liu Bei's chief military advisor;
——Zhuge Wende!
Zhuge Ming, who was holding a white piece, was also sitting upright, dressed in white clothes and a turban, and gently shaking his feather fan.
Talent is not stained by dust, and the sleeves are full of fairy wind.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a man from heaven descending to earth, with a heroic appearance!
Elegant temperament and suave.
The counselor Jian Yong stood on one side and watched the chess without saying a word.
Zhuge Ming picked up a white coin between his slender fingers and stretched out his long sleeves with a warm smile.
Hey!
The white piece landed crisply on the chessboard.
Liu Bei's fingers tapping on the document suddenly stopped, and the corners of his mouth opened slightly.
Looking at the situation on the chessboard, I couldn't help but gasp.
"Crash!"
Uncle Liu Huang picked up several black stones and landed them in the corner of the chessboard.
With a bit of shame on his face, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "A great military strategist should be prepared to be ashamed of himself."
"Currently, Heizi's vitality has been reduced. The remaining routes are still being planned by the military advisor."
"Bei had no choice but to abandon his son and surrender."
Zhuge Ming stood up with a smile and supported Liu Bei.
"My lord is a handsome man and a general."
"The art of war and strategy are naturally not his strengths."
"Those who are known to be talented generals can lead troops."
"That's why we can gain something on the chessboard."
The two stood up hand in hand. Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Ming, who was as graceful as an immortal in front of him, and felt in a trance.
"I'm so lucky to have Brother Wen De as my assistant!"
"If Brother Wende is willing, the position prepared can be handed over to Brother Wende at any time."
"I believe that as soon as Brother Wende is here, we can kill Cao's thieves and restore the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Bei held Zhuge Ming's hands tightly, his expression was sincere and his words were sonorous.
"My lord is so frank with each other, I don't dare to hide anything anymore!"
Zhuge Ming looked at ease and said slowly: "My ambition is not in the temple, but in the common people."
"When I was willing to follow my lord out of the mountains, I didn't want to see tens of thousands of Xinye people die tragically under Cao's sword."
"I will help my lord restore the Han Dynasty tomorrow. I just want to return to Wolonggang, Nanyang."
"Live the leisurely life of a mountain villager."
When Uncle Liu Huang heard this, his eyes turned red, "Brother Wen De has the world in his heart, I admire you greatly!"
"It's ridiculous that thief Cao still wants to use poisonous tactics to drive a wedge between you and me. Does he know that our friendship is as strong as a mountain?"
"Thief Cao's plan is not to alienate the lord and Ming."
Zhuge Ming slowly shook his head and said confidently: "My lord, I have great trust in Ming."
"All major military and aircraft matters are left in the hands of one man, Ming."
"How could Thief Cao not know this kind of trust?"
"Oh?"
"Brother Wen De, what do you mean by this?"
Zhuge Ming explained: "Cao Cao's plan is not to alienate the lord and Ming, but to alienate the generals."
"It causes the superiors and subordinates to be separated from each other, and the ruler and his ministers are detached from their virtue."
"If this is the case, it means Ming has a careful plan and strategizing. If the soldiers are separated, they will not be able to resist Cao Cao."
Uncle Liu Huang looked troubled and said worriedly: "What should we do!?"
"Don't worry, my lord, this plan has been broken!"
Zhuge Ming smiled and shook his feather fan lightly, "The so-called Yi De army is to defeat Cao Cao's treacherous plan!"
"I'm afraid that at this moment, the counselors beside Cao Cao will be furious when they learn that the carefully arranged alienation plan was unintentionally broken by Yide."
Liu Bei saw that Zhuge Ming was confident and felt very at ease at the moment.
"I didn't expect that Yide had no intention of inserting himself into the enemy, but he defeated Cao Cao's treacherous plan!"
"When he comes here later, I have to give him a good compliment!"
The monarch and his ministers sat facing each other, chatting and laughing.
When Liu Bei received Zhuge Wen's virtue, he could make Mount Tai collapse in front of him without changing his appearance, and make the elk thrive on the left without blinking his eyes.
Cao Cao allowed him to send an army of 56 troops to the south, and Zhuge's military advisor was stationed in Xiangyang.
Jingzhou is solid!
"Big brother!"
"military adviser!"
Bang!
Zhang Fei strode into the main hall and pushed open the door.
The leopard's head looks around at the tiger, its beard and hair spread out!
"Brother! Military advisor!"
"You are in a hurry to recruit me, but there is a battle to be fought!?"
Zhang Fei grasped it in the air. If he had the eight-foot-long snake spear in his hand, he could not wait to kill the enemy right away!
Zhuge Ming and Liu Bei looked at each other, and then looked at Zhang Yide in the hall, with smiles on their faces.
"Our Yide is really a wise general. Cao Cao's plan was discovered by Yide!"
Zhuge Ming shook his feather fan lightly and laughed.
Liu Bei, who was sitting beside him, also laughed and added fuel to the fire: "Second brother, this time you have made such a grand duke, tell me, what reward do you want?"
"What's the plot!?"
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei and Zhuge Ming who were laughing tremblingly, and some monks Zhang Er were confused.
"What is Thief Cao going to do again!?"
In the main hall, Liu Bei and Zhuge Ming looked at each other and smiled, but did not explain.
The anxious audience member Zhang Fei scratched his ears and cheeks, and his round face that was already dark and rosy now looked even more rosy.
"Brother, military advisor!"
"What the hell are you two talking about? Tell me quickly."
"You guys are making me, Lao Zhang, so anxious!"
Zhang Fei kicked his feet anxiously. As for the strategy, he didn't use all his strength to make a move.
It seemed like there were thousands of ants crawling all over me.
In the end, Jian Yong stood aside and couldn't stand it anymore, and asked the military advisor for instructions.
He took a step forward, narrowed his eyes and smiled and explained: "General Yide, this is a rumor spread by Cao Cao and a tactic to alienate people."
After saying that, Jian Yong gave Zhang Fei a thumbs up and praised him profusely: "Who knew that our General Yide was so wise and courageous that he defeated Cao Cao's treacherous plan."
After hearing Jian Yong's explanation, Zhang Fei's eyes rolled as he stood there.
It took a long time to sort out the matter.
Zhang Fei's broad hands were at a loss to straighten his hair, and his round face was dark and red.
Enjoying the admiring glances from Zhuge Ming and others, he said happily: "Ah, hahaha!"
"Hey, I did it on purpose!"
"I have actually known for a long time that traitor Cao would have such a treacherous plan!"
After finally getting a chance to show off his prestige, Zhang Fei was naturally not willing to let it go.
Zhang Fei took advantage of this east wind to continue to add gold to his face.
In fact, he failed this plan by accident.
He really didn't know about Cao Cao's plan.
Above the main seat in the inner hall;
Liu Bei and Zhuge Ming remained silent, smiling at Zhang Fei's naive face.
clang! ——
The noon clock rings!
Liu Bei stood up, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Since Yide has made such a great contribution, how about setting up a celebration banquet for the second brother here?"
Zhang Fei looked excited, widened his eyes and said, "Really big brother?"
"Then can I drink?"
Liu Bei smiled and looked at Zhuge Ming, who shook his feather fan lightly.
He nodded and said, "It's okay to drink, but you have to limit it."
"Don't get drunk!"
"The relationship is good too!"
Zhang Fei grinned;
As soon as he opened his mouth, saliva began to flow from the corners of his mouth.
It would be quite naive if he didn't mention the eight-foot-long snake spear.
Since Cao Cao was preparing to march his army south, Zhuge Ming issued a ban on alcohol in the army.
If there is any violation, the first violation will be punished by fifty rods, and the second violation will be punished on the spot!
The ban controls the entire army, from the lord Liu Bei to the military cooks, regardless of official position!
If there is any violation, it will be dealt with!
Because of this ban, Zhang Fei, who was addicted to alcohol, started to rebel long ago.
I will be happy to drink wine today.
Under Jian Yong's arrangement, a simple banquet was quickly set up.
The only people present at the table were Liu Bei, Zhuge Ming, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong.
Although it was an accident, Zhang Fei did succeed in defeating Cao Cao's plot this time.
Therefore, Zhuge Ming made an exception for Zhang Fei and placed a small jar of fine wine in front of Zhang Fei alone.
Others still have to comply with the ban and are not allowed to drink alcohol.
Ever since the small jar of fine wine was served, Zhang Fei's eyes never wandered away.
The tan collar was already wet with the saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Although the lord Liu Bei was present, Zhuge Ming always sat in the main seat.
"Yide, I won't trouble you anymore."
"Eat and drink!"
"You are the hero today!"
Zhuge Ming was suave and composed.
Only after the military advisor spoke, Zhang Fei dared to move the table.
"Thank you, strategist! Thank you, big brother!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei grabbed the jar of fine wine, raised his neck and drank heartily.
He was so naive that some of the people present were suppressing laughter.
"My lord, now that Cao Cao has used this plan, even though Yide has defeated it, this matter cannot be let go."
Zhuge Ming picks up vegetables and cooks rice, and his gestures are extremely elegant.
Compared to Zhang Fei's delicious meal, his face was full of rice grains and meat foam.
It's like heaven and earth.
When Liu Bei heard this, he stopped picking up the food and looked happy.
"Does the military advisor have a countermeasure?"
"Not bad!"
Zhuge Ming picked up a piece of venison and said calmly: "Since Cao Cao is trying to alienate us, we might as well return the favor!"
Uncle Liu Huang's eyes flashed with light, and he asked with great expectation: "What's the plan!?"
"Let's use the trick and give him a counter-intuitive plan!"
Zhuge Ming put the venison in his chopsticks into his rice bowl and continued to explain: "We can use spies to send false information to Cao Cao!"
"This is a great plan!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately understood what Zhuge Ming meant.
He directly put down the bowl and chopsticks, clapped his hands together, and exclaimed: "Destrange Jia Xu!?"
"Exactly!"
Zhuge Ming nodded slightly, already confident about the progress of this matter.
"Since Cao Cao is stationed in Wancheng, let him see things and miss people!"
Zhuge Ming and Liu Bei already communicated with each other in just a few words.
Zhang Fei, who was drinking heavily and eating meat, naturally did not understand the plan of his elder brother and the military advisor.
He just buried his head in feasting to satisfy his gluttony.
When Jian Yong, who was sitting at the last table, heard the word "Wancheng", he understood the plan of his lord and the military advisor.
After reacting, I couldn't help but sigh.
"The military advisor is truly a genius!"
The Battle of Wancheng will always be an indelible shadow in Cao Cao's heart.
I am not afraid that Cao Cao will see through this simple counterintuitive plan, but given Cao Cao's suspicious character.
It is inevitable to be suspicious of Jia Xu!
At the beginning, Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Xuchang, thus gaining a huge advantage in using the emperor to control the princes.
However, Cao Cao's situation at that time was not very optimistic.
Because at that time Cao Cao faced threats from princes such as Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao.
To break the deadlock, Cao Cao must make some decisions and actions.
Especially after Lu Bu captured Xuzhou, the conflict between Cao Cao and Lu Bu also escalated.
Under such a sharp contradiction, Wancheng, where Zhang Xiu was located, became the target that Cao Cao wanted to attack.
Although Zhang Xiu was not as powerful as Cao Cao at that time, his subordinates Jia Xu and others were quite powerful. Therefore, Zhang Xiu also posed a considerable threat to Cao Cao during the Battle of Wancheng.
In the first month of the following year, Cao Cao led his army to Feishui in the north of Wancheng and launched an attack.
For Zhang Xiu, the overall military strength of Wancheng was too different from that of Cao Cao. In addition, Cao Cao had a huge moral advantage by holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.
Therefore, Zhang Xiu chose Kaicheng to surrender.
Originally, things should have ended successfully like this, but unfortunately during the process of Zhang Xiu's surrender, Prime Minister Cao's old habit relapsed.
He occupied Zhang Ji's widow, Mrs. Zou.
Just as Cao Cao was happily preparing to return to Xuchang, Zhang Xiu's men set an ambush.
Dian Wei!
Cao Cao and his close-knit general were lured to Wancheng by Zhang Xiu's plan and stole the two halberds.
To protect the Prime Minister, he died of exhaustion!
Dian Wei was not only Cao Cao's right-hand man, but also an outstanding general. He also saved Cao Cao's life in danger many times.
As the world knows, Dian Wei will not die, and Xu Chu will not come out.If Dian Wei had not died, Tiger Marquis Xu Chu would not be in the position he is today.
Dian Wei's sacrifice was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Cao Cao!
After Dian Wei died, Cao Cao was forced to lead his troops to evacuate Wancheng.
During this extremely embarrassing escape, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin accompanied him.
Cao Cao's war horse was killed by Zhang Xiu's troops on the way, and Cao Cao was in danger.
At this critical moment, Cao Ang did not hesitate to donate his war horse to his father Cao Cao to help him get rid of his pursuers.However, Cao Ang and Cao Anmin both died in this war!
In the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao lost his beloved general Dian Wei, his eldest son Cao Ang, and his nephew Cao Anmin!
The sacrifices of these important figures dealt an extremely heavy blow to Cao Cao.
It also made him cast a lingering shadow on Wancheng.
As the most important counselor under Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu followed Cao Cao after the Battle of Wancheng.
Although the Battle of Wancheng has passed, Cao Cao has not completely let down his guard against Jia Xu deep in his heart.
Now that Cao Cao is stationed in Wancheng, it is inevitable that he will not recall what happened back then.
Because of this, Zhuge Ming came up with this plan!
Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, so let him see things and think about people at this time, and don't be afraid that he will not mess up!
After briefly discussing the specific matters with Zhuge Ming, Liu Bei immediately called for paper and pen.
I immediately started writing a letter.
The letter was deliberately omitted and altered.Due to the new plan, except for Zhang Fei who still enjoyed the lunch, the other three were a little absent-minded.
Uncle Liu Huang had something on his mind. After hastily finishing the dinner, he personally took the letter to the prison.
Xiangyang City, inside the prison!
Zazaza——
The heavy door was slowly opened by the jailer.
There was no sunlight entering the prison, and only oil lamps and candles hung on the walls provided lighting.
Dark and damp!
From time to time there would be a sound of water dripping.
As Liu Bei entered, rats and insects hiding in the corner began to scurry all over the floor.
Under the leadership of the jailer, Liu Bei walked into the innermost cell.
Dim lights illuminated the cell.
Mi Fang was wearing a prison uniform, with heavy shackles on her hands and feet.
At this time, he was huddled in the corner, half dead.
"Mi Fang!"
Liu Bei looked reserved, with his hands behind his back.
Mi Fang, who was huddled in the corner, trembled when she heard this.
He almost rolled over and crawled over, saying in a crying voice: "Brother, I am the unjust one!"
"I did those things just to leave a way out for you, brother!"
"Big brother!"
"okay!"
Liu Bei suddenly fluttered his sleeves, a bit of anger appearing on his face.
"Mi Fang, for having an affair with Cao Cao's thief, should have been punished by death!"
"Commander Zhuge still has a use for thinking about you, and I will give you a chance to redeem yourself and make meritorious service!"
With that said, Liu Bei raised the letter he had just written in his hand.
"I want you to deliver this letter to the spies!"
"If you do this, you won't even have a chance to survive!"
"Would you like to?"
Mi Fang knelt on the ground and raised her hands high to take the letter.
Crying bitterly, she said: "Brother is willing to give me a chance, how dare Mi Fang refuse..."
……
Wancheng, Prime Minister's Mansion.
After the divorce plan was given, the scribes in the army immediately wrote many rumors.
Even the highly popular country nursery rhymes are filled with rumors!
Nothing goes wrong this time, just waiting for the good news to come from Jingzhou.
"Report! Letter from Jingzhou!"
The scout sent a secret report, and Cao Cao became energetic.
He immediately summoned five counselors including Xun You and Jia Xu.
I want to witness with them the moment when the divorce plan succeeds.
In the palace, the prime minister was held high, and the five military advisors gradually took their seats.
On the table beside the prime minister, there was a secret letter sent by the scout.
The five military advisors also had some speculations about this summons.
Thinking about it, the news must have come back from Jingzhou.
Before opening the secret envelope, Zhong Yao stood up and said with a smile:
"Congratulations, Prime Minister! Congratulations, Prime Minister! The plan of alienation is successful. Liu Bei and his ministers are separated from each other. If you don't attack, you will fail!"
When Cao Cao heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He opened the confidential envelope again and read the contents of the letter with great anticipation.
After reading the contents of the letter clearly, the smile on Cao Cao's face completely froze.
He stood up suddenly, frowning and glaring with anger!
Cao Cao threw the secret letter to the ground and cursed angrily:
"Trash! A bunch of trash!"
The prime minister was so angry that an ominous premonition emerged in the hearts of the five counselors.
Could it be that……
Zhong Yao couldn't believe it.
This plan is perfect and there is absolutely no possibility of cracking it.
Unless Zhuge Wende has the extraordinary ability to silence the people of Xiangyang.
Otherwise, the alienation plan will definitely succeed!
"Look, take a good look! Look at your plan!"
Cao Cao pointed at the secret letter on the ground and scolded him sternly.
Zhong Yao stepped forward quickly and picked up the secret letter.
In the secret letter, it is recorded that Zhang Fei whipped the cloth in public and cleverly resolved the dispute.
After reading the contents of the letter, Zhong Yao was completely stunned.
He couldn't believe his eyes.
Zhang Fei...
Zhang Fei!
It turned out to be that rough, arrogant and reckless man with thick eyebrows and big eyes!
The brilliant plan thought up by the collective efforts of five people was easily resolved by a reckless man with brute strength!
If you can't beat him with a whip, you'll kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!
This is not only a statement of intention, but also a set of rules!
This is telling the whole world that Zhuge Wende, the shepherd of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei’s group are united and there is no objection!
Anyone who disobeys will be whipped!
Zhuge Wende's Jingzhou shepherd has been given an upright position, and no one is allowed to make arbitrary comments!
I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!
The seemingly impeccable alienation plan actually has such a reckless method.
Zhong Yao staggered back several steps and fell on the chair.
His eyes were blank, and his whole person looked much older.
Zhong Yao's appearance aroused the curiosity of the other four people.
What exactly was written in the secret letter?Is it so powerful?
What ingenious method did Zhuge Wende use to defeat their alienation plan?
The four of them stepped forward and carefully read the contents of the letter.
But after reading it, the four of them looked at each other in shock and didn't say a word for a long time!
"This……"
Cheng Yu was furious, a mouthful of blood surged into his throat, and he swallowed it hard!
Chen Qun's face turned pale.
He originally thought that the person who could break the divorce plan would be Zhuge Wende.
If Zhuge Wende could really defeat this alienation plot, he would be convinced of the defeat.
But who could have expected it.
The five people worked hard to create a poisonous plan tailored for Zhuge Wende.
He didn't even get a chance to meet Zhuge Wende.
It was broken by Zhang Fei!
Chen Qun was confused and asked anxiously:
"Why Zhang Fei?"
"Could it be that this is also Zhuge Wende's plan?"
"Deliberately designed Zhang Fei to disgust us? To destroy our military morale?"
Jia Xu shook his head when he heard this, and Xun You also shook his head.
The two looked at each other, and then Xun You sighed and said:
"If Zhuge Wende broke his plan, he would never beat around the bush like this."
"This is what Zhang Fei did!"
"All our plans were ruined by Zhang Fei, a reckless man!"
There was reluctance and frustration in Xun You's tone!
Because he firmly believes that if Zhang Fei, a fool, hadn't interfered, the alienation plan would have been impossible to break!
A plan that was bound to work would go awry in the most unexpected place.
Who can be convinced by this?
Hearing the unwillingness of several counselors, Cao Cao became even more angry.
He pointed at the secret letter on the desk and scolded:
"Zhang Fei has no brains! He actually announced this in public! Then he whipped his subordinates for this!"
"One thoughtless person and one reckless act dispelled your rumors?"
"Didn't you ever consider this when you were coming up with your plan?"
"What do you do for food?!"
The five people who were still unwilling at first felt their faces burning after hearing Cao Cao's reprimand!
Unexpectedly, wise men like them would lose to Zhang Fei!
Looking at the five people who lowered their eyebrows and said nothing, Cao Cao felt a headache.
He raised his hand to his forehead and stumbled back to his seat.
Seeing this, Xun You and others were hurriedly concerned:
"Prime Minister!"
"Prime Minister!"
Cao Cao shook his head, waved his hands, and said with disappointment:
"Go down, all go down, let Guqing be pure and clean."
The Prime Minister is like this, Xun You and others feel like their faces are on fire!
Chang Ping's defeat to Zhuge Wende can be said to be due to a single move.
But... But this time, it was all given to a reckless man...
Hey... How can this be said in the past?
The five of them pondered for a moment, and finally left without saying a word.
It’s not that I don’t know what to say.
But, I have no shame to say it!
After the five people left, Cao Cao leaned back on the chair.
He closed his eyes and held his forehead, sighing:
"Fengxiao, if Fengxiao was still there, how could it be like this? How could it be like this..."
……
Night falls;
Lights gradually lit up in Wancheng.
There was no moon this night, and thick clouds shrouded the sky above Wancheng.
A sense of chilling and depression quietly surged into the hearts of the people in Wancheng.
After many years, Cao Cao returned to this place that he couldn't bear to look back on.
Going south to Jingzhou, Wancheng is the most important strategic buffer.
Cao Cao's temporary Chinese army tent was also set up here.
Above the city, the cold wind howled, and the soldiers on duty did not dare to take it lightly.
In the dark night, a dark shadow entered the city from the side gate!
Wancheng Nei
Zhang Xiu's former residence is now temporarily requisitioned as the prime minister's residence.
When Wancheng surrendered, no brutal siege broke out.
Although there were some changes later, the damage to the city was minimal.
Therefore, in Wancheng today, the buildings in the city are relatively well preserved.
If possible, Cao Cao would not want to camp in Wancheng.
But the strategic location here is extremely important, and it has to be so after weighing the pros and cons.
In the main hall
Cao Cao, wearing a gilded robe, sat upright in front of the case, holding a candle and thinking deeply.
Don't be angry!
On the table, there are several chess pieces.
Each chess piece represents its corresponding deployment of troops.
Under the chess pieces, there is a detailed map of the nine counties of Jingzhou.
The location of Xiangyang City is explained by eye-catching vermilion ink.
If you want to capture the nine counties of Jingzhou, you must defeat Xiangyang!
Looking at the strategic deployment in front of him, Cao Cao kept deducing it in his mind.
Without the assistance of Shence Zhuge, they could completely rely on their military superiority to crush them all the way.
What can Liu Bei do with the mere 30 Jingzhou troops he just took over to resist the 56 elite army?
It's just that now that Zhuge has Shence, he has an absolute advantage in military strength.
Cao Cao didn't dare to entrust him easily!
At this moment, a sound outside the house disturbed Cao Cao's thoughts.
"Prime Minister, there is news from Jingzhou!"
A guard stood outside the door and announced softly.
Cao Cao suddenly raised his head, his eyes deep and sharp.
"Let him in!"
"Here!"
Tatata!
The door was opened cautiously, and the spy from Cao Ying, still wearing night clothes, entered respectfully.
After meeting with Prime Minister Cao, he immediately handed over the letter in his hand.
Cao Cao took the letter and waved the visitor away.
Then he pulled the lamp on the side closer, turned on the kerosene light, and carefully read the contents of the letter.
However, after reading this letter several times, Cao Cao still felt a little confused.
What does this letter mean?
Liu Bei wrote to Jia Xu?
Cao Cao looked at the deliberately omitted and altered content in the letter and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Is this a counter-intentional plan? Do you want to do this in front of me?"
"Liu Bei is so stupid! He thought that I, Cao Cao, would be capable of such childish tactics!"
"It's absurd!"
After a while of banter, Cao Cao pressed the letter under the lamp holder.
Continue to meditate on the situation in Jingzhou.
After turning on the lamp several times, the situation in Jingzhou was still trying to figure out a way to break the situation, and sleepiness had already welled up in his mind.
Cao Cao stood up and took the lamp with him.
Escorted by several maids, he walked out of the main hall.
Woohoo—
As soon as I stepped out of the main hall, a night breeze with a bit of spring chill blew in my face.
Cao Cao subconsciously tightened his clothes and looked up.
The sky was gray and there were no stars.
This gust of cold wind suddenly sobered up my originally groggy mind.
Standing in the courtyard, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of many past events.
The defeat of Wancheng seems like just yesterday!
The haze that seemed to be gradually dissipating enveloped Cao Cao's mind again.
Under the dim candlelight, Cao Cao's face was ashen!
He thought of Cao Ang, Dian Wei, and Cao Anmin who died in the battle!
These three extremely important people in Cao Cao's life all died in Wancheng.
Then the night wind blew by again, blowing Cao Cao's hair and beard randomly.
But at this time, Cao Cao was lost in his thoughts and was unaware of the outside world.
Cao Cao paused for a long time, and a maid beside him reminded him softly: "Prime Minister, it's late at night, it's time to go back and rest."
"There's a strong stroke in the hospital, and I'm worried about catching a cold."
After regaining consciousness, Cao Cao pressed his temples with both hands. When the cold wind blew, his headache began to attack again.
In the end, he could only return to the dormitory with the help of his maid.
Cao Cao, who was lying on the couch, had a splitting headache and couldn't sleep.
It was not until late at night that the headache improved slightly.
Half asleep and half awake, Cao Cao suddenly recalled the Battle of Wancheng in his mind!
It seems that I saw Cao Ang, Dian Wei and Cao Anmin again!
When planning this moment, the culprit who led to the tragic deaths of the three beloved generals was none other than Zhang Xiu!
Zhang Xiu!
Wasn't Jia Xu the first counselor in Zhang Xiu's hands?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly sat up in shock!
"Jia Xu!"
The people on duty outside the house heard Cao Cao's screams and lit their lamps one after another and went inside.
"Prime Minister!?"
"go out!"
"Get out!"
Cao Cao held onto the bed with one hand and his head with the other.
In his excitement, Cao Cao began to suffer from migraines again.
After the soldiers on duty retreated in fear, Cao Cao lay down on his bed again.
For a moment, he began to feel doubtful again.
What kind of correspondence did Jia Xu and Liu Bei have?
Cao Cao, who broke out in a cold sweat, couldn't sleep.
He knew that this was Liu Bei's treacherous plan, but even though he knew it was a divorce plan, he still had doubts about Jia Xu.
If Jia Xu only wanted to avenge Zhang Xiu and others...
If the Battle of Wancheng happened again...
impossible!Absolutely impossible!
At this time, Cao Cao had begun to doubt Jia Xu.
I would rather let the world fail me than let the world fail me!
This is Cao Cao's wise saying!
What's more, Jia Xu was still Zhang Xiu's old subordinate.
Both in terms of emotion and reason, Cao Cao had to have reservations about Jia Xu!
