Rebirth God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1455: War Emergency (Part 2)

"The safety of Xiangyang City is related to the safety of the soldiers and civilians in the city. I hope that all the families can use their private soldiers to resist the attack of Cao Jun. I will plead for your credit in front of the Holy One." Zhuge Liang said.

Only then did the family understand Zhuge Liang's true intentions. The price of rice was to beat the family in the city and let them hand over their private soldiers. This was the ultimate goal. The importance of private soldiers to the family is self-evident. No one is willing to hand over the private soldiers completely.

The existence of private soldiers is a symbol of the strength of the family, and it is an important force to protect the family. If all the private soldiers are in Zhuge Liang's hands, they will become Zhuge Liang's playthings.

"Military Master, although the battle is urgent, there are not many private soldiers in the family. All the families have supported thousands of people before, but now the city is not safe. If the family has no private soldiers, how can the safety of the family be guaranteed?"

Zhuge Liang glanced at this person coldly and said: "Come here, get the people of the Qin family under control. I suspect that the people of the Qin family have an affair with Cao Jun outside the city. Jian Yong is in charge of investigating this matter."

After hearing these words, all the aristocratic families in the arena gasped. Zhuge Liang's words directly pushed the Qin family to a corner. It can be seen that Zhuge Liang has reached the point where he must control the private soldiers in the hands of the aristocratic family.

Whether Liu Bei occupies Jingzhou or Cao Cao occupies Jingzhou, in the eyes of the aristocratic family, there is not much difference, and Cao Cao's strength is stronger. Even if Cao Cao broke Jingzhou, he would not dare to wipe out the court of Jingzhou. The court, and what Cao Cao is most likely to do is to continue to support the Holy Majesty and crusade against non-officials. Liu Bei did the same, but Liu Bei's strength is much worse than Cao Cao, otherwise Jingzhou would not fall into the current situation.

Moreover, before Cao Cao attacked Xiangyang, he secretly sent people to spread the news in the city. After Xiangyang was captured, the interests of the family would not be touched, and even those who opened the city gate to welcome Cao's army into the city would be rewarded generously. Waiting and watching, what happened to the Kuai family made the aristocratic family more vigilant, and dared not have the slightest involvement with Cao Jun, both openly and secretly.

However, judging from the war during this period, they have lost more and more confidence in Zhuge Liang. The Jingzhou navy suffered heavy losses on the way to support Xiangyang. The Jingzhou navy is an important force for Jingzhou to deal with Jiangdong. They even foresee that when Sun Ce gets After knowing the news that the Jingzhou army suffered heavy losses, will they take the opportunity to send troops to attack Jingzhou?

Compared with Sun Ce, the family still has some good feelings for Cao Cao.

"I am willing to obey the orders of the military adviser." The family expressed their opinions one after another. No one wants to be angry with Zhuge Liang before this time. The family of the Qin family has already stated that Zhuge Liang will not be soft when dealing with me.

After leaving the General's Mansion, the patriarch of the family had different moods. Naturally, the family would not be willing to hand over the private soldiers. They also wanted to rely on the private soldiers in their hands to preserve the strength of the family in this battle.

Otherwise, once the Cao army breaks through Xiangyang, the city will definitely be chaotic, and the family's private soldiers have played a great role at this moment. Otherwise, facing the enemy, the family can only watch the family's assets being plundered by others.

Even after suffering such a loss, the aristocratic family did not dare to cry to Cao Cao. Every aristocratic family has private soldiers. Cao Cao must have known this situation. After Cao Jun broke the city, the private soldiers in the hands of the aristocratic family disappeared. How could Cao Cao have no idea where these private soldiers went.

The Patriarch of the Li family winked at the Patriarchs of the Huang and Wu families beside him.

The two nodded knowingly, and left the General's Mansion calmly.

Outside Xiangyang City, Cao Cao has absolute confidence in breaking Xiangyang, especially after hearing the news from Xizuo, Cao Cao is full of confidence. When it is most critical for his side to attack the city, Zhuge Liang will take away all the private soldiers in the hands of the family , will definitely make the family panic. The significance of private soldiers to the family is how important it is when the war starts.

"My lord, it seems that Zhuge Liang has no other choice." Xun You laughed.

"Zhuge Liang is just a villager. He dared to be so arrogant in front of this Marquis because of his resourcefulness. Little did he know that the aristocratic families in the city had already regarded Zhuge Liang as a thorn in their side." Cao Cao said.

"My lord, there is news from Jiangdong that Sun Ce has the intention of sending troops to attack Jingzhou, and now Jiangdong's troops are gathering." Cheng Yu said.

Xun You heard the words and said in a low voice: "Master, this is the opportunity for our army."

"What do you mean?" Cao Cao asked.

"There is a deep hatred between Jingzhou and Jiangdong. Naturally, the Jingzhou family will not have a good impression of Sun Ce, and the Jingzhou navy suffered heavy losses in our army's attack on Xiangyang. Once the Jiangdong army invades, the Jingzhou navy will definitely be difficult to stop. However, my subordinates heard that Liu Bei promoted many of the generals who belonged to him in the navy in order to control the navy. After the aristocratic families in the city were worried about the war in the navy, and there was Zhuge Liang's apparent fight for private soldiers in the hands of the aristocratic families, It will definitely make the family extremely dissatisfied with Liu Bei, as long as the lord sends someone secretly to the city to appease the family, the family will definitely abandon Zhuge Liang and support the lord." Xun You said slowly.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he nodded slightly.

"My lord, if you follow Master Xun's words, you will not be able to make Liu He emperor after defeating Jingzhou," Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao frowned slightly. How could he not understand the meaning of Cheng Yu's words? In fact, in Cao Cao's eyes, establishing Liu He as emperor is not much different from supporting Liu Qi to become the emperor of the Han Dynasty. It is easy to win the support of the Jingzhou family, but what Cao Cao needs is the name of the Han Dynasty.

"My lord, my subordinates speculate that if Zhuge Liang loses, he will definitely take Liu Qi away from Jingzhou. In this way, my lord can use the excuse that Liu Qi's succession to the Datong name is not justified, and after re-electing the emperor, the prestige of my lord will be reduced. No one can match it." Xun You said.

Cao Cao's heart moved. Assisting the emperor to ascend the throne is definitely a great prestige for a courtier. After Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, why did he choose to change the emperor? Even the emperor dared to change, not to mention other things, but Dong Zhuo ignored the power of the gentry. When the gentry was angry, that kind of anger was enough to defeat Dong Zhuo. Now the situation is very different. To be honest, the aristocratic families of other princes are for the benefit of their respective families. The majesty of the great Han clan has been weakened a lot in the turmoil.

"The most important thing now is to capture Xiangyang." Cao Cao said. The online service of the real lady, help you find books to chat with you, please wechat/message/search/search popular web articles or rdww444 waiting for you~
