The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 382 Chapter 381
When Sima Yi saw Han Song looking at him with a pair of hot eyes, his eyes were so serious, he knew that his answer would depend on whether he could turn Han Song into the eldest son's confidant, so he must answer carefully.

After a moment of silence, Sima Yi said, "To be honest, this is my own idea!"

Han Song laughed suddenly: "Hahaha... I knew that the eldest son was always suspicious, so why would he come to me so easily? If you say that the eldest son asked you to come, I will drive you out immediately. Because you are not honest enough to me, you can’t get my sincerity. Sima Yi, I don’t care how you met the eldest son and why the eldest son trusts you so much, but since you can think about the eldest son, sincerely Doing things for the eldest son means that you have already regarded the eldest son as a confidant. You know the current situation of the eldest son, but you still have to bite the bullet and come to help the eldest son. It shows that you are courageous. You are young and have Such courage really impresses the old man. Don't worry, my heart has always been with the eldest son, as long as the eldest son has anything to do, just give orders, Han Song will definitely go through fire and water for the eldest son, and will not hesitate!"

"With Han Changshi's words, Zhongda is relieved. I hope that what the eldest son and Zhongda did wrong in the future, I hope Han Changshi can clearly point it out, lest we accidentally fall into the abyss of calamity Among them." Sima Yi bowed.

Han Song stroked his beard and said slowly: "It's easy to say, I must do my best for the eldest son. However, if the eldest son wants to achieve a career, it is not enough to rely on the old man and you alone. Yes, there are some talented people in Jiangxia County. Liu Xian, Prime Minister of Xiling, and Deng Xi, Gongcao, are all outstanding talents in Jingzhou. It's just that the opportunity has not come. Zhongda might as well pay a visit to Lord Liu Xian and Deng Xi. Tell Liu Xian and Deng Xi about the eldest son's affairs, Liu Xian and Deng Xi will definitely attach themselves to the eldest son and be driven by the eldest son!"

Sima Yi said: "I'm new here, and I've never met Liu Xian and Deng Xi. Will it be a bit abrupt to go here?"

Han Song thought for a while, and felt that what Sima Yi said was very reasonable, so he immediately repaired two letters, handed them to Sima Yi, and said, "Zhongda, take these two letters to see Liu Xian and Deng Xi. My letter will fully understand everything."

Sima Yi took the two letters and paid homage again: "Thank you Han Changshi, after the matter is completed, the eldest son will definitely reward you a lot!"

"I don't ask for any rewards, I just hope that the eldest son can grow up as soon as possible, and Liu Jingzhou's high hopes for him will not be in vain!" When Han Song said this, he suddenly realized that he had slipped his tongue, and immediately changed the topic. He said: "It's getting late, go early, go back early, don't make the eldest son wait in a hurry!"

What kind of person is Sima Yi? Although he is not well-known yet, he is extremely smart. How could he fail to understand the meaning of Han Song's words?In addition, he could guess the meaning of Han Song's words by observing his words and expressions.

However, Sima Yi didn't say anything, didn't say anything, just bowed to Han Song, and then left Han Song's mansion straight away.

Sima Yi took the two letters from Han Song and visited Liu Xian and Deng Xi one after another. Once he entered the homes of Liu Xian and Deng Xi, he immediately revealed his identities, and then handed over Han Song's letter. There were not too many words, and there were no polite words. After Liu Xian and Deng Xi both read Han Song's letters, they both expressed their willingness to go through fire and water for the eldest son.

Therefore, Sima Yi quickly completed the task, quickly returned to the prefect's mansion, and reported the results to the prefect Liu Qi.

When Liu Qi knew that Han Song, Liu Xian, and Deng Xi were all persuaded by Sima Yi, he was overjoyed and insisted on rewarding Sima Yi to express his gratitude.

Sima Yi hurriedly withdrew the reward, and told Liu Qi that the reason why Liu Xian and Deng Xi were easily persuaded was not because of him, but because of Han Song, and he hoped that the reward would be given to Han Song.

Liu Qi was very surprised, because he always felt that Han Song was sent to monitor him, so he didn't trust Han Song.

Hearing what Sima Yi said at this moment, he realized that he had misunderstood Han Song.

Then, Sima Yi suggested to Liu Qi, asking Liu Qi to visit Han Song, Liu Xian, and Deng Xi in person, and told him that this is called Lixian Corporal, which will make Han Song, Liu Xian, and Deng Xi more loyal to him.

After Liu Qi heard this, he nodded his head like pounding garlic, and followed Sima Yi's suggestion, which really moved Han Song, Liu Xian, and Deng Xi very much.

After Han Song, Liu Xian, and Deng Xi were dealt with, Sima Yi then said to Liu Qi: "My lord, we already have our own confidantes, but if we want to gain a firm foothold in Jiangxia, and even Jingzhou as a whole, we must hold Military power. Although the eldest son is the prefect of Jiangxia in name, he is ordered to take charge of the [-] sailors stationed in Jiangxia territory, but he has no actual power, because the [-] sailors are all part of Cai Mao's party. Therefore, the eldest son must think about it. The best way is to get all the [-] sailors into your own hands, and hold them tightly."

Liu Qi said unconfidently: "This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, right? These [-] sailors are all under Cai Mao's subordinates, how can they listen to me?"

Sima Yi chuckled and said, "Young Master, you don't have to worry, it's up to you. Although the [-] sailors are Cai Mao's subordinates, that was in the past. Now, they are the eldest son's subordinates. And among the [-] sailors, I don't believe it." All of them are Cai Mao's confidantes. In my opinion, among the [-] sailors, there must be many who are dissatisfied with Cai Mao's one-handed overshadowing of the sky and forming cliques for private interests. We can find an opportunity to suppress Cai's confidantes and generals, and return to the army. Select some people with prestige to be officers, and take charge of the [-] sailors for the eldest son!"

Liu Qi said: "Zhongda, do you have any good ideas?"

Sima Yi nodded, then whispered something into Liu Qi's ear, and after Liu Qi heard it, a smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "Zhongda, your plan is really wonderful. , let's implement it quickly!"

"No hurry! There are still some basic things to do before starting to use the plan. Eldest Young Master, I want to take five days off. After five days, Eldest Young Master can follow the plan I said. The [-] sailors , and will naturally become the eldest son's subordinate!" Sima Yi said.

Liu Qi said excitedly: "Okay, I'll listen to you. But, where are you going for these five days?"

"Well, it's a secret. Anyway, after five days, the Eldest Young Master will meet me again. By then, the Eldest Young Master will be the commander of the [-] sailors!" Sima Yi said arrogantly.

Liu Qi didn't ask any more questions. The arrival of Sima Yi was a very lucky thing for him. He never imagined that God would favor him so much. At the most embarrassing time in his life, he would bring Sima Yi to his home. around.

That night, Sima Yi packed up his luggage and went to the navy camp on the bank of the Yangtze River alone.

The Jingzhou Navy has a total of 8 people. They are all elite troops in Jingzhou's hundreds of battles. They were originally under the control of the governor Cai Mao, and the Hanshui generation stationed in Xiangyang was used to defend Xiangyang.But since Huang Zu's death in battle, the army has almost been wiped out, and Jiangxia is the gateway to the east of Jingzhou, so it has to rely on heavy troops to defend.

After Sun Ce captured Chaisang, Liu Biao paid more attention to Jiangxia's defense, fearing that Sun Ce would avenge his father, and led his army to take advantage of the vacancy and kill Jiangxia.

Therefore, when Liu Biao appointed Liu Qi as the prefect of Jiangxia, he mobilized [-] naval troops to station in Jiangxia.

Cai Mao was naturally very clear about Liu Biao's actions, so he specially dispatched his clan brothers Cai Qing and Cai Zhu to be the commanders-in-chief of the [-] army, and all the officers above the middle level were Cai Mao's henchmen, in order to prevent Liu Qi from attacking Liu Biao. Usurped the command of the [-] troops.

Cai Qing and Cai Zhu are Cai Mao's cousins, who served as General Fubo and General Louchuan respectively. The two led the army to station in Zhu County, where they relied on the original camp of Huang Zu's navy and expanded it. This is how it is today. The water army camp.

The Water Army Camp stretches for several miles from the river to the land. Hundreds of large and small warships are moored in the fence surrounded by the Water Army Camp, connecting with the land, forming a crescent shape, so Cai Qing named it For Crescent Lake.

In the water army camp of Crescent Lake, Cai Qing and Cai Zhu are hosting a banquet for military officers at all levels. Since they were stationed here, they basically have a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days. They only train for an hour in the Yangtze River every day. Training, in fact, is to go out on a boat and wander around and then come back, just to put on a show.

Relying on Cai Mao's power, the two brothers Cai Qing and Cai Zhu formed cliques in the army for personal gain, and set up clever schemes to defraud food and military pay.It is said to be an army of 2, but in fact it is full of money. This army has only 1 people, of which about 1 people are empty places, and the empty salary of these [-] people is divided up by Cai Qing, Cai Zhu and other officers. up.

Officers at all levels have benefited, so naturally they won't say anything, but it's a pity that the lowest-ranking officers and soldiers suffer. Not only do they have to do hard work for Cai Qing and Cai Zhu for free, but they also face the danger of having their salaries deducted.

The invincible and powerful Jingzhou navy in the past has long since ceased to exist. Under the leadership of the governor Cai Mao, the 5-strong navy would be great if it had [-] people.

It's a pity that Cai Hao's power is huge, and Liu Biao is high above him, so the basic situation in the navy cannot be conveyed to Liu Biao at all.Even if Liu Biao wanted to inspect it, it was arranged by Cai Mao early in the morning. The Cai family ate empty pay, enslaved soldiers, withheld military pay, and embezzled military rations. It has long been a common problem. This Jingzhou navy has long been reduced to the Cai family to make money. Tool of.

While Cai Qing, Cai Zhu and other officers were drinking happily in the camp, Sima Yi was alone, disguised as a soldier, slipped into the navy camp, and began to secretly investigate some people in the navy camp Everyone knows the "secret" that outsiders don't know!
