Soldiers come to the world

"Humble post does not say that a military adviser cannot be the post of governor, but the post of governor should be appointed by the state pastor in public, and not announced by the military adviser himself. This is a bit..."

"Can't help but something?"

Cai Mao interrupted Wenpin's words, and shouted angrily, "You mean that I'm falsely passing on the order of the state pastor, is that so?"

Wenpin did not back down, and said coldly: "I didn't say that, it was said by the military advisor himself, I just wanted to say that the military advisor should avoid suspicion."

Cai Mao was extremely annoyed, pointed at Wenpin and scolded: "You are clearly implying that I, Cai Mao, falsely passed on the order of the state pastor. You have been against me for many years, and you must oppose everything I propose, and today is no exception, Wenpin! What's on your mind?"

Next to him, Kuai Yue smoothed things over and said: "Mr. Cai doesn't need to be angry. Since the state priest has an appointment, we will naturally support it. General Wen will also obey the dispatch of the military division. However, whether Uncle Liu Huang and Mr. Jing agree with this plan, we have to discuss it with them. The enemy is at present, I hope Army Division Cai and General Wen regard peace as the most important thing, and don't mess up your own position first."

Liu Jing was a little surprised. He heard that Kuai Yue's tone was actually a little bit helping Cai Mao. At this critical moment, it should be a confrontation without ambiguity. Peace is the most important thing, isn't it just to let Wenpin accept Cai Mao as the leader? Governor?

Liu Jing glanced at Kuai Yue, thinking of what Kuai Yue said to himself just now, it seems that after he failed to compete for Liu Qi, his temper changed a bit, and he began to accept a little favor from Cai Mao. Could it be that Kuai Yue has returned to the pro-Cao faction? ?

Liu Jing knew that in history, Kuai Yue was pro-Cao faction and persuaded Liu Cong to surrender to Cao. However, since he appeared, influenced by various interests, especially after fully supporting Liu Qi as his son, Kuai Yue gradually turned to the anti-Cao faction. But after Liu Qi was taken away by Liu Bei, Kuai Yue's attitude began to change again.

Liu Jing originally thought that with Kuai Yue around, he didn't need to speak out about many things, and Kuai Yue would resist for him, but now it seems that Kuai Yue's attitude has begun to be ambiguous, and he is no longer reliable.

Liu Jing was no longer silent, got up and said: "General Wen is right, this matter is of great importance, it is hard to believe just based on the order of the state shepherd, and the state shepherd has been lying in bed for a long time, and he may not understand the situation, so it is better for me Let me propose a plan. Our three armies will set up a coordination command post, and we can send one person from each to participate. If the three armies need to cooperate in combat, the command post can coordinate. I wonder what Cai Junshi and Liu Huangshu think?"

Liu Jing's attitude is very clear, that is, he opposes the establishment of a military office and the establishment of a general governor of the three armies. He even opposes going to Liu Biao to ask for evidence.

Liu Bei originally wanted him to take the lead, and he would be the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but considering the current situation, it is impossible for Cai Mao to agree, so it is better to remain independent, at least he can gain some prestige in the end.

Liu Bei also nodded, "I agree with Mr. Jing's plan to establish a coordination command post for the three armed forces."

Cai Mao's face became extremely ugly, he stared at Liu Jing and said viciously: "This is the order of the state shepherd, is it true that Mr. Jing no longer recognizes the state shepherd as the lord of Jingzhou?"

Liu Jing was also unceremonious, and confronted each other: "Of course I admit that Zhou Mu is the lord of Jingzhou, but Jingzhou and Jiang Xia have reached an agreement. Jingzhou can ask Jiang Xia's army to support, but it cannot seize the command of Jiang Xia's army. There is a big seal on it, and Junshi Cai also signed it, so doesn't Junshi Cai admit it now?"

Cai Mao was rendered speechless by Liu Jing's words, he turned his head and looked at Liu Bei again, "Why doesn't the emperor agree?"

Liu Bei said indifferently: "I am in command of the Xinye Army, which has nothing to do with Jingzhou. As for the extra army, Mr. Qi entrusted me to command it. If Junshi Cai wants to take it back, he should go to Mr. Qi, and it has nothing to do with me."

If Liu Jing's answer was tit-for-tat, then Liu Bei's answer was a needle hidden in the cotton, which sounded soft, but pierced Cai Mao so hard that he couldn't say a word.

. . . . . . . . . .

"Bastard!"

In the room, Cai Mao smashed the teacup on the ground. The teacup burst and the fragments splashed everywhere. He was so angry that he cursed, "Shame on me, are you playing me, Cai Mao, like a monkey? One day, he will make them kneel like dogs. Beg me on the ground!"

Zhang Yun and Cai He are standing next to him, and Li Gui, the prefect of Xiangyang, is also sitting beside him. The reason why Li Gui and Cai Mao came together is because he is also a pro-Cao faction. In Liu Biao's later faction standing in line, he finally chose Liu Biao Cong became Cai Mao's confidant.

What's interesting is that when Liu Biao dealt with Zhang Yun, he was one of the active supporters and promoters, but now he stands with Zhang Yun and makes suggestions for their own faction interests.

Or this is politics, there are no permanent enemies and allies, only constant interests.

Li Gui didn't persuade Cai Mao either, he patiently waited for Cai Mao's anger to end, he knew that Cai Mao had a stomach full of anger, and he would calm down when he let out the anger.

Cai Hao yelled at Liu Jing and Liu Bei, and finally calmed down. In fact, he also knew that it was not realistic to take Liu Jing and Liu Bei's army under his command, but Liu Jing and Liu Bei smashed his army in front of so many people. The anticipation made him lose face and became angry from embarrassment.

"Say, what should we do now?" Cai Mao calmed down and asked everyone.

But his eyes were fixed on Li Gui, he was not interested in Zhang Yun and Cai He, the two of them couldn't give any useful advice, but this Li Gui, usually silent, was actually very knowledgeable.

This time, he planned to convene everyone to discuss the establishment of the military office. Although it failed, it was not his problem, but the plan was well done. At least his prestige as the convener came out.

Li Gui knew that Cai Mao was asking himself, so he said calmly: "Now there are two completely different plans, and the military division can choose by itself."

"You say, I listen."

"The first plan is to wait coldly. We stand still and let Jiang Xia's army and Nanjun's army go north to fight against Cao. The advantage of this is that we can maintain our strength. After they have lost both sides, we will come to take advantage of the fisherman. It is also very disadvantageous. Obviously, this will damage the military division's reputation in Jingzhou."

Cai Mao thought for a while, but did not express his opinion in a hurry, and asked again: "What about the second strategy?"

"The second plan is to attack urgently. Before the two armies of Jiangxia and Nanjun have time to mobilize, immediately send troops to the north to recover Fancheng, and then let the two armies go north together. The three armies will fight separately to see who can defeat the Cao army in the end. Doing so can seize the first place. In particular, the recovery of Fancheng will greatly increase the military division's reputation in Jingzhou, if it is properly publicized, this is a good move."

"What about the downside?"

"The downside is that we will become the focus of Cao Jun's attack, and may end up with the heaviest casualties. Can the military division afford it?"

Cai Mao walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. He had to weigh the pros and cons. Frankly speaking, he didn't consider the first option, which would have too much impact on his reputation, especially when he wanted to seek Jingzhou pastor, Jingzhou's reputation was the most important.

He is quite tempted by the second plan, recovering Fancheng, which is indeed a very favorable result, just as Li Gui said, as long as it is widely publicized, Cai Mao's reputation in Jingzhou will flourish, isn't this what he dreams of?

It's just that if Cao Jun counterattacked, the casualties would be heavy, and the gain would not be worth the loss, which made Cai Mao a little embarrassed.

At this time, Zhang Yun said coldly: "Is it in their interest for Cao Jun to fight back against us?"

One sentence reminded Cai Mao, yes!Why did Cao Jun fight back against himself and wiped out the pro-Cao faction, what good did it do them?How could I forget this crucial point.

As soon as he thought of this, Cai Mao suddenly became excited, and he immediately said to Zhang Yun: "This opportunity is not lost, you can immediately gather the army and cross the river in the north of the city, and I will personally go to recover Fancheng!"

. . . . . . . . .

An hour later, [-] Jingzhou troops quickly assembled outside the north city of Xiangyang, and began to board more than [-] ferries that had been waiting on the shore one after another, and the ferries sailed to the north bank one after another.

The last army of Cao Jun was withdrawn before dawn, and the guards of Fancheng were handed over to [-] young and strong peasants recruited in Fancheng. Hundreds of ferries appeared on the river.

They didn't know what kind of punishment they would receive when the Jingzhou army arrived, so soldiers kept slipping away. When the first Jingzhou army arrived, there were less than 30 people left on the wall.

Cai Hao took the lead and personally led more than a thousand soldiers to the city. A soldier shouted from the bottom of the city: "Open the gate at the top of the city!"

The gate of the city finally opened slowly, and dozens of civilian husbands came out of the city and knelt down, shouting: "Military Master, we are innocent, and were arrested by Cao Jun to guard the city."

Cai Maoyue immediately stepped forward, brandishing his whip and asked loudly, "Is there Cao Jun in the city?"

"Reporting to the military division, there is no Cao army in the city, and all of them have evacuated."

Cai Mao was overjoyed, and shouted to the soldiers: "Go to the city!"

A thousand soldiers marched into the city gate, and the Jingzhou flag was flying over the top of Fancheng again. As the Jingzhou army entered the city, the [-] people in Fancheng erupted, helping the old and the young to take to the streets to welcome the Jingzhou army into the city.

At this time, [-] Jingzhou troops had arrived in Fancheng. Cai Mao specially held a grand recovery ceremony. Soldiers lined up to enter Fancheng and received the support of the people on both sides of the street. Hundreds of thousands of people welcomed the Jingzhou army to recover Fancheng.

Cai Hao rode on the tall steed, enjoying the glory of this moment very proudly, the atmosphere of the support of all people made him a little elated, as if he had taken another step away from the position of Jingzhou Mu.

He kept waving to the shouting crowd on both sides, and more than a dozen ancient and rare old people stopped the road and kowtowed, pushing the ceremony of entering the city to a climax. Cai Mao hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and there was a burst of cheers like a tsunami.

"Long live! Long live the Jingzhou Army!" Shouts resounded inside and outside Fancheng.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

At the same time that the 200 Jingzhou troops were holding the ceremony of entering the city, the Fancheng wharf one mile away became deserted, with only a hundred bored soldiers guarding more than [-] ferries.

A hundred paces to the east of Fancheng Wharf is the Tourist Payment Office, and in front of the Tourist Payment Office is a sand wall about three or four miles long. Cao Jun once hid behind this sand wall and confronted Jiangxia Army warships.

Walking more than [-] steps eastward from the tour payment office is a bamboo forest covering an area of ​​nearly [-] mu. There is also a low hill in the bamboo forest. This bamboo forest is one of the famous scenic spots in Fancheng.

But at this time there were no tourists in the bamboo forest, but there were more than [-] Cao cavalry and hundreds of Cao infantry hidden in the bamboo forest, commanded by general Li Dian.

This is Jia Xu's tactic, using the harassment of grain roads as an excuse, Cao Jun withdrew from Fancheng, and lured the Jingzhou army into the trap.

Xiangyang, on the other side of the Han River, must be the first to get the news. With Cai Mao's overjoyed nature, he will definitely regain Fancheng before Liu Jing and Liu Bei. In this way, Cao Jun will have a chance to seize their ferry.

Li Dian stared coldly at the pier hundreds of steps away. The opportunity had come. He was not in a hurry to send cavalry to charge, but sent hundreds of infantry to hide behind the sand wall and slowly approach the pier.

Cao Jun soldiers were getting closer and closer to the pier, only fifty steps away, hundreds of Cao Jun soldiers suddenly burst into a cry, jumped up from behind the sand wall, and killed more than a hundred Jingzhou soldiers on the pier.
