Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 336 Seeking Jiangdong
In Jiangxia City, Li Songduan sat on the prefect position. After the Battle of Sanjiangkou in Chibi, Li Song moved to Jiangxia.

In the battle of Chibi, the situation is excellent!Captured Zhao Yun and others alive, beheaded Huang Gai and his ilk, Li Song's army advanced triumphantly, while the Sun Cao Alliance retreated steadily.

Even Liu Biao's eldest son, son Liu Qi was captured alive by Chen Qingzhi and imprisoned in a big prison. This treatment was far worse than his younger brother Liu Cong. Soon after being captured, Liu Qi fell seriously ill and died in Jian'an for 14 years. He died of illness in prison.

After the Battle of Chibi, Li Song received a system notification that the task was completed. Li Song glanced at it, clicked to confirm, and then ignored it. The most urgent task was Sun Quan who escaped, which was related to the difficulty of capturing Jiangdong.

In this Battle of Chibi, in addition to sick and sick soldiers, more than [-] soldiers died in other places, and the more critical food and grass consumption was huge. It would be easier to capture Jiangdong, and there is no need to consume too much.

Now Ma Teng and his son in Kansai are officials in Xuchang. Although Ma Chao did not follow him in the southern expedition, he let him stay in Xuchang. It is my own family. Over the years, with my support, it has the strength to compete with Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is still cultivating immortals in Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang in Shu is singing and dancing to make peace. These people are not a threat at all, and naturally the problem in Jiangdong must be solved first.

"Is there no news of Sun Quan yet?" Li Song asked, since he got the news of Sun Quan, he immediately ordered a comprehensive search.

Only by catching Sun Quan can we take down the six counties of Jiangdong without bloodshed. If Sun Quan is allowed to flee back to Jiangdong, judging from the Sun family's control over Jiangdong, they will definitely resist to the death and refuse to surrender. few.

"Prime Minister! I have ordered people to search with all their strength, and even sent people to dig three feet in the direction of Hefei, but they still haven't found anything." Xue Rengui said.

Li Song fell into deep thought, wondering if Sun Quan might have returned to Jiangdong, but everyone didn't know, if he really returned to Jiangdong, why didn't the spies send any news back.

"What is Zhou Yu doing recently?" Li Song asked again. Zhou Yu could also rely on the slightest clue to determine whether Sun Quan had gone back.

"Prime Minister! Since the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu retreated to Chaisang with the remaining Jiangdong troops." Xue Rengui said.

"Then what? Didn't he send someone to look for Sun Quan?" Li Song asked. If Zhou Yu really ignored Sun Quan, Jiang Dong's veteran would never let him go.

"Prime Minister! After Zhou Yu returned to Chaisang, he appeased the army and civilians in Jiangdong, assembled a large army, and dispatched men to cross the river to look for Sun Quan's whereabouts. Our army has already captured several batches," Xue Rengui said.

It seems that Sun Quan should not have returned to Jiangdong. Otherwise, Zhou Yu would not be so anxious to find Sun Quan's whereabouts. Zhou Yu's life now is probably not easy.

"Send more people to search for Sun Quan's whereabouts. I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death! No matter what, I can't let him return to Jiangdong safe and sound. Otherwise, relying on Sun's prestige in Jiangdong, if he wants to seize Jiangdong It's very difficult, and I don't know how many soldiers will die in other places." Li Song said.

"Prime Minister's benevolence and righteousness are indeed the blessings of the soldiers of the armed forces and the people of the world!" Xue Rengui clasped his fists and saluted.

"Now that the Sun-Cao alliance has been broken, where did Cao Ang and others go? Are they still in the border of Jiangdong?" Li Song asked.

"Prime Minister! According to the report from the spies! Cao Ang and others left Jiangdong. Judging from the direction they set out from, they should have gone to Yizhou. Presumably, they intend to attach themselves to Liu Zhang and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback." Xue Rengui said.

"Even if they go to Yizhou, they may not have a chance to make a comeback! Even if Liu Zhang can tolerate him, Liu Zhang's Xichuan Four Generals will not tolerate Cao Ang and others." Li Song said.

At this time, Cao Ang and others wanted to gain a firm foothold in Yizhou, and then plotting Yizhou was much more difficult than Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi and occupied one-third of Jingzhou. , and his subordinates are all strong generals.

On the other hand, Cao Ang said that he didn't have any territory to rely on, and there were probably three or two kittens under his command. Zhao Yun, who was really capable of fighting, was captured alive. It would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Yizhou. Can't make any climate.

After learning that Cao Ang might seek refuge with Liu Zhang, he ignored it and let Liu Zhang and Cao Ang fight each other!If they don't give five or six years, they won't be able to tell the winner. When the time comes, Jiangdong has already been decided, and they are afraid that they will turn upside down.

After discussing with Xue Rengui, Li Song and Xue Rengui decided to use troops against the remaining four counties of Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling in Jingzhou. In this way, all Jingzhou became Li Song's territory, and Jingzhou was used as a base for crusade against Jiangdong. .

But before that, Cai Hao and his family need to be appeased. After all, Cai Zhong and Cai He were sent to Zhou Yu's side as spies, and Zhou Yu beheaded him to sacrifice the flag. If he didn't give an explanation, he couldn't justify it. In the future, how can Cai Mao be so determined to destroy Soochow for himself.

Of course, even if he didn't give an explanation, Cai Hao didn't dare to have any objections. Thunder, rain and dew are all God's blessings. If he doesn't give an explanation, his reputation will be affected. This is the key.

"Come here! Call Cai Mao to come see me!" Xue Rengui bid farewell and left, Li Song hurriedly ordered someone to call Cai Mao.

Not long after, Cai Mao rushed over and saw Li Song knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted, "The last general, Cai Mao, has met the prime minister!"

"Cai Mao, do you know why I asked you to come here?" Li Song looked at Cai Mao and said.

"I don't know the final general, so please tell the prime minister clearly!" Cai Mao said, his eyes rolled around, thinking about the purpose of the prime minister calling him here.

Li Song was also thinking about the words in his mind, and there was a sudden silence. After a while, Li Song said: "Cai Zhong and Cai He were beheaded by Zhou Yu, it was my negligence! It was my negligence that brought them into trouble." ! I decided to reward you and your family."

Li Song took out a bamboo slip that had already been prepared from the table, and asked Xu Chu to hand it to Cai Mao. On it was written the rewards for the Cai family, and the posthumous titles for Cai Zhong, Cai He and the others.

There are more imaginary than real, even so!It was also more than promised to Cai Mao. Cai Mao was overjoyed when he saw the above content. Among them, what made him most happy was that he, Cai Mao, was granted the title of Chehou, which is the highest rank among the titles.

"I don't know if you still have any dissatisfaction! If you have something, you might as well tell it." Li Song laughed.

Dissatisfaction, Cai Mao is actually not. The death of Cai Zhong and Cai He is actually nothing to Cai Mao. He can use them in exchange for the glory of the family. It is a good thing that so many benefits can be exchanged for the death of the children of the two families.
