Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 271 The Change of Xiangyang
Xiangyang City.It was just getting dark.

Cai Mao hugged the concubine in his arms, cheerfully took the wine glass that the concubine handed over, and took a sip.

Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly appeared outside the door, and then flew into the hall like lightning, standing in front of Cai Mao.

This man was dressed in black, his face was covered with a black cloth, he was very tall and burly, even Liu Pan was not as tall as the man in front of him.Leshi happened, such a tall man was as fast as lightning!

Cai Mao was shocked. Although the guards in his mansion cannot be said to be unable to fly in, it is not so easy for such a big person to come in. Such a person must be a master!People with this kind of skill disdain to do things that are sneaky, presumably this master must be working for a certain big force or a big family!
After all, Cai Mao is a general in charge of the army. When encountering such a situation, Cai Hao calmed down instead.I saw Cai Hao put on guard, pushed away the frightened concubine beside him, stared at the man in front of him, and asked: "This strong man, I don't know why you came to find me?"

The masked man lifted his mask, and Cai Mao saw that this man was recognized by himself, it was Cao Cao's general Dian Wei!
In the past few years, Dian Wei followed Cao Cao to fight in the south and north, and his photogenic rate was very high. Several famous generals in the universe were lost in Dian Wei's hands.Therefore, Dian Wei's appearance has long been transformed into portraits, which have been spread to various places and are well known to all princes.

Dian Wei took out a letter from his pocket, handed it up, and said in a low voice, "My lord has a letter for you!" After speaking, he turned around and left.

Cai Mao opened the letter stupidly. After reading it, he hesitated for a while, then put the letter on the lamp and burned it.Then he turned his head to look at the concubine hiding in the corner, and sighed.

Suddenly, Cai Mao pulled out the sword from the shelf next to it, and a cold light flashed across, and the concubine fell into a pool of blood...

Cai Mao looked at the little concubine and confirmed that she was dead, and said with some regret: "Hey... the less you know about this matter, the better, I can only wrong you!"

……

Wancheng.

Cao Cao was anxiously waiting for Dian Wei's reply.Speaking of which, Cao Cao didn't want to send Dian Wei there, but besides Dian Wei, he couldn't find anyone around him who could sneak into Cai Mao's mansion in Xiangyang silently.

Finally, Cao Cao was still worried, and turned his head to a fat man behind him and said, "Zhongkang, take the 'Tiger Guards' to Xiangyang to meet Dianwei!"

"Reporting to my lord, I'm sorry, but General Dian told me when he left that the last general should protect the lord and not leave even a single step! Wherever the lord goes, Xu Chu will go there!" the fat man said solemnly.

Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu with a serious face, and shook his head helplessly.

Xu Chu, a native of Qiaoxian County, Yanzhou, was recommended by Dianwei to Cao Cao with superb martial arts skills and boundless strength.

Dian Wei used to be a knight-errant when he was young. When he was passing through Qiao County, he met Xu Chu and fought against Xu Chu, so Dian Wei knew Xu Chu's skills.

This time Dian Wei received a mission to go to Xiangyang, and Cao Cao didn't have a decent master around him, so Dian Wei recommended Xu Chu to Cao Cao.

Xu Chu has a single mind, and Dian Wei asked Xu Chu to protect Cao Cao personally, and Xu Chu really protected Cao Cao personally, even when Cao Cao went to the toilet, Xu Chu followed Cao Cao.

Fortunately, when Cao Cao was going to bed, Xu Zhou would stay outside the door. Otherwise, just imagine, Cao Cao was sleeping with his wife, and there was a big fat man listening to the bed by the bed, what a terrible thing it would be.

……

For a whole day, Cai Mao's mind was filled with the letter from Cao Cao.There were not many words on the letter, just a few big words: "I have Jingzhou, you are the governor", but only these few big words were shocking enough for Cai Mao.

Cai Hao and Cao Cao have known each other for a long time.Cai Mao and Cao Cao were old acquaintances when Cao Cao was in command of Luoyang. At that time, both of them were young people, and both of them had a common hobby, that is, they liked beautiful women. When they were free, they often went to brothels together .

Today, Cao Cao is a vassal and the prime minister of the court, and Cai Mao is also the governor of the navy in Jingzhou, with a prominent position. The unbearable history of those years is indeed a bit disgraceful in the present.

Cai Mao knew Cao Cao very well, and Cao Cao was a trustworthy person, at least Cao Cao never lied to himself.

To be honest, Cai Mao really wanted to be the governor of Jingzhou.There are many aristocratic families in Jingzhou, and the Cai family is the most powerful. The Cai family and the other two major families in Jingzhou, the Huang family and the Wang family, have in-laws who care about them.In order to check and balance the Cai family, Liu Biao specially supported the Kuai family, and the two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue of the Kuai family were not ordinary people. Compared with them, the descendants of the Cai family were far behind.

Maybe, I really should agree to Cao Cao.

……

Jiangxia.

Since Liu Qi gained a firm foothold in Jiangxia, he found that he had the power in his hands.Liu Qi lost his sense of crisis, and started a life of drunkenness, indulging in sex and wine every day.All the power of Jiang Xia was handed over to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang quickly showed his talents. In Jiangxia City, there were both army and navy troops, while Zhuge Liang was proficient in all kinds of chariot, horse, road, and water battles.And the training formation is even more unique.

Jiangxia has no generals, and Liu Qi has only four under his command, Huo Jun, Wang Wei, Liao Hua, and Ding Feng. Huo Jun and Wang Wei were formerly Liu Biao's generals. Liao Hua and Ding Feng were Liu Qi's followers after he arrived in Jiangxia.The abilities of these four people are definitely not super-class generals, so Zhuge Liang only showed his hand a little, and he calmed down the four of them.

When the results of the battle at Guandu came, Zhuge Liang had a premonition that something was wrong.Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed in a blink of an eye. Zhang De occupied Jizhou and Youzhou, while Cao Cao only got the barren Bingzhou.On the surface, Zhang De gained the most benefits, but Zhang De consumed a lot of troops in this battle, and had to deal with the Beihai Kingdom of Karasuma, Xianbei, Fuyu and Gongsundu in the north.

As for Cao Cao, although he only got Bingzhou, Yuan Shao's army all fell into Cao Cao's hands.Then, news of a good harvest in Huainan came, and Zhuge Liang was even more certain that Cao Cao's next step would be to attack Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang immediately asked Liu Qi to write a letter to Liu Biao, telling Liu Biao to be careful about Cao Cao.But it didn't attract Liu Biao's attention.

……

At the beginning of the seventh year of Jian'an, Cao Cao assembled an army of 25 in Wancheng, and his intention to attack Jingzhou was very obvious.

In the face of Cao Cao's army, Liu Biao did not express his position, but said that he would not be ill. With Liu Biao's illness, the dragons in Jingzhou had no leader, and the whole Jingzhou was divided into two factions-the main combat faction and the main descendant faction.
