Liu Qi, the eldest son of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 79 The War Caused by Two Letters

() In late September in Jian'an, Liu Qi and Zhou Yu had been at each other for more than half a month.During the period, there were only some small battles between the scouts of the two armies.There is no change in the general trend.

It was dark and the moon was thick.Liu Qi was lighting up the lamp to read a letter from his cheap father-in-law Cao Cao.The letter began with some greetings.In a few words, he went straight to the topic and asked Liu Qi how the battle was going at this time.Next, I wrote a large article eloquently in the tone of an elder, and mentioned my own opinions.Cao Cao's talent is really not something to boast about. Few people in the world can match his military insights.Some places made Liu Qi suddenly enlightened.

Liu Qi watched it three times over and over again, but still couldn't get enough of it.Cao Cao is not only a political strategist, but also a talented poet. His sons Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were influenced by him and became brilliant talents.As for why he wrote the letter, I'm afraid Cao Cao couldn't hold on anymore. He wrote to Xun Yu of Xudu at the same time as he wrote to Liu Qi, just to find some comfort.

The step trainer at the side quietly accompanied Liu Qi to read a book.Liu Qi tried to persuade her a few times, but he didn't agree, so he let her go.The step trainer was acquired by Liu Qi less than three days after he got to know him.The beauty knew in her heart that she was sent to Liu Qi, there would be a day, at least Liu Qi looked good, it looked.

Liu Qi was too idle in Daying, and after serving in the army for three years, he was as good as Diaochan as a sow.Seeing such a beautiful woman like a flower and jade, plus it is completely his own, and he doesn't care about any military camp, so he "ate" the company division on the third night.

Cao Cao mentioned in the letter that the war is not in his favor now, and the military rations are running out, so he hopes Liu Qi can provide some support.Liu Qi thought for a while while reading.Although Cao Cao has Liu Qi's food and grass support, the situation has eased somewhat.But it is still not as good as Yuan Shao. Now Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have more troops than in history. Cao Cao took out the troops of Cao Hongmanchong and others, and went to the front line of Guandu. Yuan Shao's son also sent people to help in the battle in advance.Therefore, the food consumption of both sides also increased sharply, but Cao Cao had less food and grass, so he couldn't hold on at first.So at this time, Cao Cao couldn't hold on anymore.

Yuan Shao, Guandu, Liangcao.

As Liu Qi read, he slapped his thigh and knew where his weakness was.Like Yuan Shao, his own military rations are also hoarded in one place. Although Liu Qi's base camp also has them, it is only [-] days' worth of military rations.Although the defender Liu Pan is brave and loyal, he may not be able to resist the insidious tricks of Zhou Yu and others.If the stored grain was burned, Liu Qi's army would surely be defeated.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi's heart skipped a beat.Secretly asked the soldiers to call Wei Yan, and ordered him to quickly lead 5000 troops to support Liu Pan, and be careful.At the same time, they sent people to wake up all the counselors and generals, and went to the main account of the Chinese army to discuss matters.

Liu Qi kissed the smooth forehead of the pro trainer, and said gently: "You rest first, I won't sleep with you tonight."

"Um".The step trainer was very obedient, knowledgeable and reasonable, and hummed lightly.

After staying with the beautiful woman for a while, Liu Qi didn't miss it. He strode forward and hurried to his tent of the governor.Looking at the people who had just been awakened by him, they were still sleepy.Especially Pang Tong dozed off on his desk.The saliva was drooling, it was disgusting.

"Crack", Liu Qi slapped Pang Tong on the head, and Pang Tong immediately jumped up and shouted: "Who, who, who dares to hit me?" Liu Qi's face was full of black lines, and he said, "It's me! You guys, I didn't wake you up to put you to sleep."

Liu Qi looked around and saw that almost everyone had come, and said: "Well, everyone is here, so I'll just say it straight. I was reading Cao Mengde's letter just now, and suddenly realized something, and remembered the weakness of our army."

"Oh, what is it?" Everyone became interested and asked together.

"Food and grass, especially the place where our army's grain is stored. If Zhou Yu knows where our army's grain is stored, and sends someone to raid the small road to surprise our army's grain store, then all the food and grass will fall into Zhou Yu's hands. Our army It's going to be a big defeat."

Thinking of how powerful this place is, the air-conditioning sound resounded in the barracks.But it is Jingzhou's weakness. If Zhou Yu puts all his eggs in one basket, the victory or defeat depends on it.I am afraid that Jingzhou's nearly [-] troops will be depleted.Thinking of the horror, everyone was shocked.

But this is only a possibility. After all, the place where grain is stored is very secret, and it is difficult for Zhou Yu to find out.What's more, if you want to be able to succeed in the sneak attack, you must be the elite of thousands of people. If you are accidentally discovered by the Jingzhou army, it will be exactly the opposite.For Zhou Yujun, it would be a devastating blow.

It was Zhuge Liang who stood up and said: "Although that is the case, this plan is not easy to succeed. There are three difficulties in this plan: the place where our army stores food is secret, and it is difficult for others to know. How Zhou Yu knows this is the first difficulty: let one be It is even more difficult for the Jiangdong army to smuggle out more than [-] soldiers under the noses of our Jingzhou army. This is a dilemma; The day cannot be captured, and by then we have received news that if we send thousands of Qingqi to break through from behind, Zhou Yu will still be defeated, and he will be able to capture Tunliang City in just a few days, which is a trilemma." Zhuge Liang added One sentence: "Such a risky move, anyway, I, Kong Ming, will definitely not do it."

Liu Qi listened carefully to Zhuge Liang's analysis, laughed, and said, "With your steady character, Kong Ming, you certainly wouldn't do it. Zhou Yu might not know how to do it."

Liu Qi paused for a moment, and then threw a blockbuster, which instantly stunned everyone: "What if we have spies in Jingzhou?"

There was no sound in the camp, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Spy or traitor, to people in ancient times whose reputation was more important than their lives, these words were more terrifying than death, and they were even taboo words.

After a long silence, Pang Tong, who had the best relationship with Liu Qi, said in a low voice, "I don't know what my lord will do if this happens." He didn't ask who it was, and no one showed any doubts.In fact, everyone is well aware of who the most likely person is, but they are unwilling to say it out, for fear of embarrassment for the protagonist Liu Qi.

The person everyone suspects the most is Liu Qi's father-in-law, Liu Biao's brother-in-law, Cai Mao, the deputy commander of the Navy.

The time was adjusted ten days earlier, and the location was changed to Xiangyang.Cai Mao was alone in his study reading Jiang Dong Zhou Yu's letter.Zhou Yu first greeted hypocritically, and then began to discuss the topic.For Liu Qi's seizure of power, ungrateful rebuke, and admiration and sympathy for Cai Mao.Then, the subject changed, and he directly asked Cai Mao if he would like to sneak attack Liu Qi with him, Zhou Yu, when Liu Qi would die.Once Liu Qi died, Liu Biao was old and incompetent, and Liu Cong was a dude.Jingzhou must fall into the hands of his Cai family.At that time, Jiangdong and Jingzhou turned the boundary of Lujiang River into a line and did not invade each other.

According to the strategy mentioned in Zhou Yu's letter, it is indeed feasible. If it is really successful, Liu Qi will die without a place to bury him.That Jingzhou fell into the hands of Cai Mao.I thought about the years of friendship with Liu Biao's chief minister, the feelings of my daughter Cai Yu, and the distrust of Liu Qi now, the glory after successfully mastering Jingzhou and the misery after failure.Greed grows bigger and bigger, and finally fills his whole heart. Cai Mao resists the temptation and finally makes up his mind to form an alliance with Zhou Yu and attack Liu Qi.
