Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 323 The Role of the Cai Brothers

In Li Song's army camp in Jiangbei, Li Song and the generals were discussing matters in the camp. Yang Xiu reported to Li Song about the government affairs and the information about Xiliang from Xuchang.

Although Li Song led a million-strong army to march south, he always paid attention to Xiliang's movements. After all, the Ma family in Xiliang had rebellious blood flowing in their bones, so they had to guard against it. Although the transfer of Ma Teng and his son to Xuchang It is expedient!
After Yang Xiu finished his report, Li Song turned his head to Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda! We can find out what the Cai clan is doing these days."

"Prime Minister! I already have some eyebrows, but I just don't understand, and I still need the Prime Minister to clarify my doubts." Sima Yi cupped his hands.

"Oh! Why don't you understand! Tell me the truth!" Li Song said.

"All the puzzles are in this bamboo slip, please take a look at it." Sima Yi took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, bowed and raised it over his head, Li Song motioned Xu Chu to bring it.

Xu Chu took the bamboo slips, turned around and handed them to Li Song, and continued to stand aside. Li Song opened the bamboo slips, his pupils shrank involuntarily when he saw the content inside, closed the bamboo slips, put them aside, and couldn't help but take another look at Sima Yi.

It seems that Sima Yi knows something, Sima Yi is really not simple, but how did he know, will Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang of Jiang Zuo know?Can your plan be implemented smoothly?

"This matter! After the meeting is over, the truth will clarify your doubts, so you step aside for now." Li Song said.

"No!" Sima Yi cupped his hands and retreated to the side. Everyone was reporting something, and after discussing, everyone retreated, leaving Sima Yi alone.

"Zhongkang! Retire too! I'll have a good chat with Zhongda." Li Song said to Xu Chu who was beside him.

"Prime Minister! This..."

"Okay! Back off!" Li Song interrupted Xu Chu's words, needless to say, Li Song also understood Xu Chu's meaning, and asked him to back off.

"No!" Xu Chu clasped his fists in salute, and withdrew from the big tent, leaving the big tent to Li Song and Sima Yi.

"Zhongda! Sit down! Tell me what you know?" Li Song pointed at the bed next to him and said.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Sima Yi thanked him, and after taking his seat, he said, "Don't lie to the Prime Minister! I just became suspicious of why Cai Zhong and Cai He suddenly rebelled. From what I know about them, They don't have the guts, and they don't dare to instigate the Jingzhou army to rebel, even if he has the guts, it's impossible for him to hide from the shadow's surveillance."

"What's more, the Cai family was transferred to another place without anyone noticing. Cai Zhong and Cai He didn't have the ability at all. The matter itself can already explain everything."

After hearing this, Li Song asked Sima Yi some questions, and found that he only knew that there was a problem with Cai Zhong and Cai He, and he didn't know about other things. The reason why the Cai brothers had such a problem was that Sima Yi treated him learn.

In this way, Sima Yi didn't know all his plans, and Jiang Zuo had no reason to know. Li Song couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Zhongda, come here with your ears! I will tell you the whole story." Li Song waved at Sima Yi, and Sima Yi got up and approached Li Song.

Li Song told Sima Yi all his plans in Sima Yi's ear, and Sima Yi was shocked!He never expected that things were beyond his imagination.

After hearing this, Sima Yi pondered for a while, but Li Song didn't bother him, letting him digest it.

Sima Yi bowed his hands and said, "Prime Minister! Why don't you let Cai Zhong, Cai He, and Huang Gai come into contact with each other to reveal their identities?"

"Isn't this revealing their identities?" Li Song said.

"That's right! If they don't expose it, how can Zhou Yu pass false news back through the Cai brothers, and how can we use them to pass false news to Jiang Zuo, so that we can better hide them." Sima Yi said.

Li Song felt that what Sima Yi said was right. He originally sent the Cai brothers to Jiangzuo, but he didn't intend to rely on them for anything, but he forgot that Jiangzuo could rely on them to deliver false news, and he could also use them to give Jiangzuo a wrong message. mislead them.

It's just that this seems simple, but it's not so easy to operate. After all, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, etc. are not fools.

"Zhongda! What did you say to be able to deceive Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, etc. They are not simple people." Li Song looked up at Sima and asked.

Sima Yi said in Li Song's ear, so and so, so and so.

"Zhongda! You are very good! Very good!" Li Song said, "I will write a letter to the Cai Brothers and ask them to do it."

"Share the prime minister's worries! This is what the minister should do. If the prime minister has no orders, the minister will leave." Sima Yi cupped his hands in salute, Li Song waved his hand, and Sima Yi bowed and retreated.

Li Song immediately repaired a letter and asked the spies to send it to the Soochow Camp in Jiangzuo, and hand it over to Cai Zhong and Cai He, and let them follow the plan.

"Does the Prime Minister have any other orders?" Cai He observed the movement outside through the cracks in the camp tent, so as not to be discovered. Cai Zhong received Li Song's secret order from the spy and asked.

"The prime minister only told you to act according to the secret order, and nothing else!" The spy said!He bowed his fists and left.

After the spies left, Cai He hurried over, Cai Zhong opened the secret order, the two of them read it, Cai Zhong crumpled the secret order into a ball, and swallowed it with fine wine.

"Brother, when shall we act?" Cai He asked Cai Zhongdao.

"No hurry! It's not easy to act now, it's not too late to act at night!" Cai Zhong said, Cai He nodded, and decided to act together with Cai Zhong tonight.

When there were no stars in the night sky and the surroundings were pitch black, it was the night when the wind was high and the moon was black. Under the cover of this night, the assassination was carried out. cover.

Under the cover of darkness, Cai Zhong and Cai He quietly touched Huang Gai's tent. After the two of them looked around, Cai Zhong stuck to the tent and called out softly: "General Huang! General Huang!" !"

"Who?" When Cai Zhong and Cai He came to the camp, Huang Gai had already spotted them and didn't disturb them. He just wanted to see who they were and what they wanted to do.
"Old General Huang! We, Cai Zhong and Cai He, will discuss with each other if necessary." Cai He continued to be vigilant, and Cai Zhong replied to Huang Gai.

It seems that the Cai brothers are really spies. Let them come in to see what they want to do?Thinking of this, Huang Gai hurried out to welcome the Cai brothers into the camp.

In the tent, Huang Gai didn't give the Cai brothers any good looks, and said calmly: "You guys came to find me, what is it?"

"Dare to ask General Huang! But you want to surrender to the prime minister?" Cai Zhong asked.

As soon as Cai Zhong said this, Huang Gai knew that these two were indeed spies sent by Li Song, he sneered in his heart, and finally couldn't help showing his feet.
