Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 778

In order to compete for property, the two Shan Yue soldiers had already aroused a real fire, and even drew their swords to each other before the battle.

Not just this pair of Shanyue soldiers, there are not a few Shanyue soldiers who catch and fight in front of the battle. They fight for the gold and silver properties on the ground.

Peng Hu couldn't help being furious when he saw this scene: "You idiots, you just know how to looting property and let go of the Jiangdong Army?"

Although Peng Hu repeatedly gave orders, the Shanyue soldiers were still vying for property and could not care about anything else. They couldn't catch up with the Jiangdong Army for a while, so they could only sit and watch the Jiangdong Army head west.

"Humph!"

Cao Cao watched the Shanyue Army's forward stop from a distance, scrambling for the gold and silver properties abandoned on the ground, and couldn't help but frown.

"Shan Yue soldiers can't bear to use them, huh!"

Cheng Yu also shook his head: "Wait for Jiangdong to be pacified in the future, take these Shanyue soldiers for their own use, and train them. Then it will be easy to say."

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Order the whole army to step up and pursue Jiangdong Army and not let Sun Quan go."

"Here!"

Cao Jun pursued all the way forward, biting Jiangdong Army firmly. The Jiangdong Army was familiar with the terrain, and those who had turned around were nowhere to be seen, and many Jiangdong soldiers died in battle, so naturally they also provided help for the main force to escape.

Cao Ren led the cavalry to retreat and returned, rushing dozens of steps in front of Cao Cao, only then stood still.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Sun Quan, who failed to capture, will be ashamed." Cao Ren reported to Cao Cao.

"No matter, first appease the counties such as Kuaiji. Now Sun Quan is nothing but a rootless Ping. Without the counties in Jiangdong, he wouldn't be able to make any waves." Cao Cao waved his hand.

Cheng Yu's eyeballs, all kinds of tactics suddenly rushed to his heart.

"The prime minister, there is a strategy at the bottom. It does not require our army to take action, so that people can hand over Sun Quan's head."

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, as if thinking of something, he smiled and said, "Just listen to the strategy in your heart."

Cheng Yu smiled and said: "In the past, Sun Jianzhong died under the inkstone mountain. Jingzhou Liu Biao and Jiangdong Sun’s family were mortal enemies. Now Sun Quan has fallen into trouble. After Liu Biao learns about this, he will naturally not let Sun Quan go. I still need me. Does the army take action?"

Cao Cao laughed: "Zhong De's words are very true. Who do you think should be sent as an envoy?"

"Mao Xiao can take on this role first." Cheng Yu replied after a little thought.

"Well, I'll send Mao Jie as an envoy to Xiangyang and his party." Cao Cao nodded.

...

Amidst a mountain road, thousands of Jiangdong troops were walking in it, but they were all down. They had just lost the battle, and their morale was naturally low. To make matters worse, the family members of some soldiers were still in Wu County and Huiji County, so many soldiers fled together on the road. The army of more than 20,000 in the past now has less than 8,000 people left. It is really vital. Badly hurt.

Proud as Tai Shi Ci, calm as Zhou Yu, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel gloomy, riding quietly on the horse, and going all the way.

"Zi Yi, how far is it from Chai Sang?" Zhou Yu asked.

"The governor, he arrived in less than eighty miles." Tai Shici said solemnly.

"You send someone to remove the armor and go to investigate. If the defense is weak, you will take down Chaisang City in one go and seize a shelter for our army, understand?" Zhou Yu ordered.

"Here!"

Tai Shi Ci led dozens of rides, removed his armor and headed for Chaisang City. Chaisang City is located in Yuzhang County. Sun Fu was in charge of guarding Yuzhang County on that day, but he defected to Cao Cao and took away thousands of Yuzhang troops. Therefore, the defense of Yuzhang County today is empty.

The gate of Chaisang City was wide open, and Tai Shi Ci was bold. Seeing this situation, he led the cavalry into the south gate abruptly without saying a word. The defense in the city was weak, and there were not many guards. It was quickly captured.

Then Tai Shici sent someone to invite Sun Quan and the Jiangdong army to welcome Sun Quan and the army of Jiangdong into the city of Chaisang, and cleaned out the cityshou mansion, and invited Sun Quan to move into it.

In the city guard mansion, a maid served wine and food, but Sun Quan didn't think about tea and rice, and had a poor appetite. After eating a few chopsticks casually, he ordered the withdrawal.

At this moment, a soldier walked in: "Lord, the chief governor asks for you."

"Well, please come in." Sun Quan said weakly.

The soldier retired and Zhou Yu walked in.

"Zhou Yu pays respects to the lord."

"Well, please start the Governor, but I don't know why the Governor is here?"

Sun Quan said lazily.

"Yu has something to apply for the lord."

"what is the matter?"

"The lord, please send an envoy to invite Liu Biao as an ally."

"what?"

As soon as Zhou Yu said this, Sun Quan was shocked: "Inviting the old thief Liu Biao as an ally, did the general governor play tricks on me?"

The Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army can be described as a **** feud. Sun Quan’s father, Sun Jian, died in the hands of the Jingzhou Army. After that, the two armies fought repeatedly and wanted to annex each other. Now the Jiangdong Army’s power is greatly reduced. How could it be possible to form an ally with Jiangdong Army?

Zhou Yu's face remained as usual: "Lord, think about it, how is the relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Biao now?"

"They are allies, are the governors confused?" Sun Quan asked strangely.

"Hehe, he may have been an ally before, but not anymore."

Zhou Yu said solemnly: "Now Cao Cao is dominating the east, with hundreds of thousands of armours under his command, and his power is far better than Liu Biao. It may not have annexed the heart of Jingzhou. And my Jiangdong army is weak, Liu Biao would not put it in his eyes. The army is willing to be a vassal of the Jingzhou army and resist Cao Cao for Liu Biao. Does the lord think Liu Biao will agree?"

Sun Quan thought slightly, frowning and said: "The governor of the city has some truth, but even if Liu Biao is willing, his generals and ministers may want to stop him."

The Jingzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army had a deep grievance. There were several attacks and killings between the two armies, and many soldiers died. Even if Liu Biao agreed, his ministers of civil and military affairs would probably stop them.

"It's okay, you can send Lu Zijing there. Zijing is beautiful in his heart, and is unparalleled in debate. He is the only one, I am afraid that no one will refuse the Jingzhou army." Zhou Yu suggested.

"Um...well, then send Zijing to Xiangyang and his party."

Sun Quan obeyed Zhou Yu's suggestion and dispatched Lu Su, a military officer, to Xiangyang.

For a while, both Cao Cao and Sun Quan's envoys were sent to Xiangyang, but they did not know who could convince Liu Biao that the Jingzhou Army would eventually become an ally.

Xiangyang City, the middle of the prefecture and animal husbandry.

"Zhou Mu, Prime Minister Cao's envoy Mao Jie has arrived at the post house and asked to see Zhou Mu." Kuai Yue arched his hands to Liu Biao.

"Cao Mengde's messenger?"

Liu Biao nodded: "Okay, let him..."

"Zhou Mu! Lu Su, the messenger of Sun Quan of the Jiangdong Army, also went to the post house and asked to see the Zhou Mu." Kuai Liang also said to Liu Biao.
