Three Kingdoms: The Crown Prince of Wei, betrothed to Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

The room was filled with the unpleasant smell of medicine, and a group of people gathered around the hospital bed.

Liu Biao, who was sixty-six years old, was lying on the bed weakly, as if he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

"Lord, Cao Cao sent an army of 150,000 troops to the south to conquer Jingzhou, how should he deal with it now?"

"Ten... Ten... Fifty thousand...? Liu Biao's eyes were terrified, and his body was like a sieve.

Originally, the breath was like a gossamer, but after hearing the attack of Cao Cao's army, his chest rose and fell rapidly like an old bellows.

"Hoo-hoo-hoo..."

"Lord calm down! Lord calm down! "

"Hurry up and pass on the doctor." Mrs. Cai hurriedly urged.

However, before the doctor arrived, Liu Biao's eyes were blank, and he exerted more qi and entered less qi.

After the doctor arrived, he said, "Gentlemen, you can prepare for the aftermath." "

Liu Biao was cautious all his life, occupying the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but he never dared to fight Jiangdong.

The position was behind Cao Cao, but he missed the opportunity to sneak up on Xu Du several times.

It is understandable that he missed it once, saying that he failed to catch the fighter.

But missed many times, it can only be said that it is Liu Biao's own problem, too timid to send troops.

Now hearing that Cao Cao led the army to press the realm, Liu Biao, who was already terminally ill, even kicked his legs and directly gagged.

The one Liu Biao left was called a dashing, leaving Jingzhou Wen Wu dumbfounded.

At this juncture, the lord died violently, and the dragons were leaderless.

"This... What should we do? "

"I don't know."

"Let Madame take the idea."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Mrs. Cai.

Mrs. Cai said helplessly: "Concubine is a female stream..." In the end, she could only look at her younger brother Cai Yao.

"This way." Cai Yao stood up and said, "The Cao army is coming, the lord has passed away, once the news comes out, the whole of Jingzhou will inevitably be panicked, I suggest that if you don't lose your life, just treat it as if nothing happened." "

"After you go back later, you will also think about countermeasures, where should Jingzhou go."

Everyone looked at each other, but Cai Yao's suggestion was indeed good, especially now that it is not easy to stand up for someone who has an idea.

The courtiers dispersed one after another, leaving the bodies of Cai Yao, Mrs. Cai, and Liu Biao in the room.

"De Jue, the second sister can only rely on you now." Mrs. Cai spoke up and asked, "What is your idea?" "

"Second sister, I intend to surrender to Cao Cao." Cai Yao said slowly: "Whether the owner of Jingzhou is Liu Biao or Cao Cao, the Cai family is still the Cai family, and it has no impact on us." "

"In the early years of Luoyang, I was friends with Cao Cao." Cai Yao continued, "If I take the lead in leading Jingzhou to surrender, Cao Cao will definitely not treat me and the Cai family badly. "

"Surrender..." Mrs. Cai hesitated for a moment.

"What else does the second sister hesitate?" Cai Yao persuaded: "Anyway, Liu Qi and Liu Qi are not the children of the second sister, and there is nothing worth nostalgic for." "

Influenced by the speech, people often recognized 827 as Liu Jun as the son of Lady Cai.

In fact, the reason why Mrs. Cai favored Liu Jun was because Liu Jun married the daughter of the Cai family.

In terms of blood, Mrs. Cai has nothing to do with Liu Jun, and she is completely a stepmother.

Seeing that Mrs. Cai was still hesitating, Cai Yao continued to persuade: "Second sister, if you don't surrender, then there is only one way to die!" "

"Cao Cao's 150,000-strong army is coming, and we don't have many soldiers at hand, even if we want to resist, we are powerless." Cai Yao said helplessly: "Huang Zu was killed, and most of the Jingzhou water army was killed and injured. "

"After that, Liu Qi went to support Jiang Xia and took some of his troops with him." Cai Yao said eagerly: "Right now, Xiangyang has ten thousand people, can it be blocked?" "

Before Jiangdong attacked Jiangxia, Huangzu was killed, and the Jingzhou water army was naturally defeated, and the losses were very heavy.

A large area of Jiangxia was occupied by Jiangdong, and only Xiakou remained in the hands of Jingzhou.

Liu Qi obeyed Zhuge Liang's words, avoided the trouble, went out, and asked himself to guard Xiakou and go to defend Jiangdong.

Liu Qi couldn't go alone, so naturally he had to bring the army.

One wave of death, Liu Qi took away a wave, Jingzhou is just a land of one state, how many troops can there be? At present, there are only some troops left in Xiangyang.

Although Mrs. Cai did not understand military affairs, she heard that 150,000 to 10,000, the gap was so large, there was no hesitation in her heart.

He immediately said, "Well, everything is according to what Deke said, so what should we do next?" "

"At the moment, the dragons in Jingzhou are leaderless, and our sisters and brothers still don't have enough weight to talk." Cai Yao said in a deep voice: "First support Liu Jun to become the lord of Jingzhou, and then the second sister will let Liu Jun surrender." "

"Sacrifice the land of Jingzhou, the Cai family still does not lose the family family, and the children of the clan do not lose the position of marquis."

Anyway, Liu Biao died, and Cai Yao surrendered without any psychological burden.

For this kind of family, the preservation of the family is the most important.

After the discussion, the two siblings went their separate ways, Mrs. Cai went to brainwash Liu Jun, and Cai Yao went to lobby other families to gain support.

Jiang Xia.

Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others got together and were discussing countermeasures.

"Cao Cao sent troops... 150,000! Sun Quan swallowed his spit.

Sun Quan had the "good name" of Sun 100,000 in later generations, and he could always take out 100,000 troops every time he fought.

But that was the time period of the third division of the world, and the strength accumulated by Eastern Wu for many years of development.

For now, Sun Quan will definitely not be able to shell out an army of 100,000.

In this time period, it is definitely a big daddy to be able to take out an army of 150,000.

You know, 100,000 is not all of Cao Cao's troops, there are defenders on the northern border, left-behind troops in Yecheng, and there are also early warning teams in the west.

Not to mention that Cao Pi led the troops before, and he lost 20,000 troops in the first battle.

All in all, Cao Cao's forces have far exceeded the original Yuan Shao.

"It's a pity." Zhou Yu said helplessly: "The time is too short, let alone take Jingzhou, we haven't even been able to take all of Jiangxia." "

The throat of the Yangtze River is in Jiangxia, and the throat of Jiangxia is at the mouth of Xia.

Because Liu Qi led troops to the rescue, the most important Xiakou could not be occupied.

"Now that Cao Cao is attacking and marching south to Jingzhou, if we attack again, it will be tantamount to taking food from the mouth of the tiger." Sun Quan said worriedly, "Where should we go?" "

Not to mention that he was right with Cao Cao, when he heard that Cao Cao was coming, Sun Quan did not dare to continue to attack Xiakou, for fear that Cao Cao would misunderstand that Jiangdong wanted to seize territory.

"Lord, the subordinates suggest that the soldiers do not move." Lu Su spoke: "It is no longer possible to occupy Jingzhou, we will definitely not be able to rob Cao Cao, but it is still possible to occupy Jiangxia." "

"What does Zijing mean?" Sun Quan asked.

"Lord Wang, Cao Cao's army is pressing the realm, and Jingzhou still dares to put heavy troops in Jiangxia?"

Sun Quan's eyes lit up and said, "Zijing is saying that the Jingzhou army will withdraw!" "

"Absolutely." Lu Su analyzed: "No matter how important Jiangxia is, it is not as important as Xiangyang. "

"As long as Cao Cao's troops arrive in Jingzhou, Jiang Xia's forces will definitely withdraw to Xiangyang, and then we can easily receive Jiang Xia without spending a single soldier."

"Although it has not been able to fully control the Yangtze River, Jiangxia is the throat of the Yangtze River, and it has fallen into our hands, and it is always not so passive."

Sun Quan nodded again and again when he heard this, "Zi Jing's words are reasonable, what does the brother think?" "

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said, "Zijing's plan is indeed safe, it is indeed better for us to wait and see." "

"After all, Cao Cao may not be able to defeat Jingzhou."

"Oh?" Sun Quan was shocked: "Brother means that Cao Cao will lose?" "

"Victory and defeat are commonplace, and no one can be undefeated forever." Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "This is the first time Cao Cao has set foot in the south, and water warfare is completely different from land warfare, and it is possible that Cao Cao will break his halberd here." "

"If Cao Cao fails to defeat Jingzhou in the end, after he withdraws, it will be the time for us to attack."

"By then, Xiakou has already fallen into our hands, the gate of Jingzhou is wide open, and our army can directly pound the yellow dragon."

Listening to the analysis of Zhou Yu and Lu Su, Sun Quan suddenly felt enlightened and found that Cao Cao's southern expedition was not entirely a bad thing for Jiangdong.

"Okay, then let's sit in Xia Mountain and watch the tiger fight."

Whether it is Sun Quan or Zhou Yu and Lu Su, they have no intention of alliance with Jingzhou, and there is no possibility at all.

First, Jiang Dong was afraid of offending Cao Cao.

Second, Jingzhou and Jiangdong have mortal enemies, and there is no basis for trust at all, so what is the alliance?

Even if the alliance is mutual suspicion, it is better not to be an alliance, so no one mentions this stubble at all.

Yanzhou.

The main force of the Cao army had just crossed the Yellow River and was stationed here today, and the cavalry had long since disappeared.

In the military tent, Cao Pi was discussing with the people around him.

That's right, Cao Pi, who had just suffered a crushing defeat, once again chose to go with the army. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

No way, Cao Chong has been putting pressure, Cao Pi naturally can't hold back, and he also wants to come to the battlefield to prove it.

A trip without merit is at least hard work, which is better than staying in Yecheng and waiting to die.

"Cao Chong is the vanguard of the army, and he is still bringing elite cavalry, will he make great achievements first?" Cao Pi was worried.

Jun did not see, Cao Chong went to Liaodong at the beginning, and when he came back, he directly became the Marquis of Ye.

Cao Pi was really afraid, in case Cao Chong made great achievements again, when Cao Chong triumphed again, would he directly become an heir.

"Gongzi, don't worry." Sima Yi advised (chah): "Although the tiger and leopard cavalry is elite, the cavalry is not good at attacking cities, and if you dismount and fight, it is only five thousand people." "

"With such a small number of troops, it is difficult to break through Xiangyang, and at most make some small merits." Sima Yi immediately said: "The real highlight of the Southern Expedition is all on the water battle, and the prince can rest assured. "

"The highlight of this expedition is all on the forbidden general."

When the words fell, everyone couldn't help but look at one person, and Yu Ban was proudly listed.

After Cao Pi threw an olive branch to the ban, Yu Ban decisively joined the ranks.

In fact, Yu Ban is also a subordinate general, seeing that Zhang Liao and Xu Huang have backers, thoughts also flooded his heart.

Just then, Cao Pi threw an olive branch at the right time, and Yu Ban accepted it gladly.

Between Cao Pi and Cao Chong, Yu Ban was actually quite optimistic about Cao Pi, believing that Cao Pisheng was older and had the title of eldest son.

Although Cao Cao clearly favored Cao Chong, there were many ministers who supported Cao Pi.

The last time he stood in line with Tongquetai, Cao Pi was supported by almost all the ministers.

Seeing that everyone cast their gaze, Yu Ban immediately expressed his position.

"Zhongda said well, Gongzi can rest assured, this water battle is the main thing, and the tiger and leopard ride is just to explore the way for us."

Since the water army was trained by Yu Forbidden, this southern expedition, once it involves water battles, Yu Ban will definitely have a lot of say.

"With the general's words, I am completely relieved!" Cao Pi was full of ambition, and his heart said that this southern expedition would definitely overwhelm Cao Chong.

Tan County.

Five thousand tigers and leopards roared here, and the local prefectural commander and taishou were already waiting here.

"Go home." Cao Chun was in a good mood, "But Cangshu definitely doesn't have this mood." "

"Indeed." Cao Chong said truthfully: "After all, I didn't grow up here. "

Tan County is the hometown of the Cao and Xiahou ethnic groups.

Including the Ding family from Mrs. Ding, these three families are the existence of the earth snake in Yu County.

Cao Cao and the martial generals of the sect grew up here when they were children, and their feelings for Yu County were naturally different.

However, the second generation of children did not feel anything, but grew up in other places.

"Respectfully general, prince and driver." The prefectural order and the taishou immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Prepare to treat the army, the army rests here for a night." Cao Chun sat on horseback and ordered casually.

"Oh."

"When entering the city, it is strictly forbidden to disturb the people, and those who violate military law are engaged!" Cao Chun flicked his horsewhip and went straight inside.

Other places can not care about the people's hearts, but as a starting place, Guan County naturally needs to be treated with caution.

As soon as Cao Cao had free time, he would come to Guan County to give the people cattle and money, and build medical halls and schools.

After entering the city, Cao Chong spoke, "Uncle, I'm going to visit the elders." "

"Hmm." Cao Chun naturally knew who the elder was, and nodded and agreed.

Cao Chong didn't talk nonsense anymore, took Dianman, Xu Yi, and his personal soldiers to buy gifts in the city first.

The little agent Sun Shangxiang had already informed Cao Chong of Mrs. Ding's preferences, so he didn't have to worry about buying the wrong thing.

Not long after, Cao Chong came to a mansion.

Although she lived in Tan County, Mrs. Dante did not live in her mother's house, but was widowed alone.

"Tuk tuk..." Cao Chong knocked on the door of the mansion.

"Squeak~" The door opened in response, and a maid came out.

Since he didn't know Cao Chong, he asked, "Who is your guest?" What's going on? "

"Cao Chong, come to visit the elders."

Xu Yi stepped forward and handed Cao Chong's name post.

For this visit, Cao Chong attached great importance to it, and the etiquette was also very formal.

"Gongzi wait." The maid took the post and returned to the house.

After the tea, the maid went and returned, "Gongzi, please come in, Madame is waiting for you in the main hall." "

"Hmm." Cao Chong stepped into the mansion and explained to the behind: "Don't come in the two eldest brothers, the elders are inconvenient to see outsiders." "

"Oh." Dianman and Xu Yi were like door gods, guarding in front of the mansion.

After entering the courtyard, Cao Chong looked around, a very simple small mansion.

It can be seen that the owner is pure and has a low degree of material demand, like a state of "monastic seclusion".

Cao Chong walked into the main hall with the gift, and saw a half-old sitting on the main throne, naturally Mrs. Ding.

"Cao Chong has seen adults." Cao Chong rules and rules salute.

Adult, an honorific title for elders such as parents and uncles.

It is definitely not appropriate to call Grandma, Cao Chong can only be called an adult.

"You are Cangshu? Xiang'er's husband who didn't visit the church? Mrs. Ding slowly spoke, and commented to herself: "The appearance is still Zhou Zheng, and I didn't follow that negative man." "

Cao Chong was embarrassed when he heard this, and his father still wanted to let himself greet on his behalf, I am afraid that Mrs. Ding will definitely not appreciate it.

"Lord Hui, the young man is Xiang'er's husband-in-law, and I came to visit you by this expedition."

"Hmm." Mrs. Ding said: "It's good if you come, you don't have to bring anything." "

"These are all Xiang'er selections, let's do a little filial piety for the elders, adults don't have to dislike it."

Hearing Sun Shangxiang, Mrs. Ding's face finally showed some smiles, and said with a bow: "I have a heart." "

At this point, the topic is considered to be dead.

Mrs. Ding's attitude was average, and Cao Chong was also difficult to answer, all of them were polite words.

This obviously can't work, this time it is to pull the relationship, so the performance is too "general." "

"How have you been doing in recent years?"

"What do you say?" Mrs. Ding asked rhetorically, "Do you think I'm doing well?" "

"I think it's okay."

Mrs. Ding's face sank, and Cao Chong's answer made her feel displeased.

How can a widowed woman whose son paid with his life for her husband's stupidity be called good? Saying that Shang Ke is suspected of cursing.

"Compared with my husband's experience, it is not an exaggeration to say that the adult's life is fair."

Mrs. Ding is a widow, while Cai Yan is in the grassland...

Mrs. Ding died her son, separated by yin and yang; And Cai Yan's son is far away in the grassland, and although he is alive, he has no chance to meet again in this life.

Mrs. Ding at least has relatives around, if not for the reunion with Cai Zhenji, Cai Yan would be alone, and there would not even be a blood relative around her.

In such a comparison, Cao Chong's evaluation is not excessive.

"Sir can survive such a hard day, why should the adult keep being angry?" Cao Chong continued, "When the child of the Evening Generation and Xiang'er is born in the future, you will be able to become the eldest mother. "

Mrs. Ding's face slowed when she heard this, and she unconsciously began to think that Sun Shangxiang would come to visit her with her child in her arms in the future.

Looking at Cao Chong's eyes and a pleasant face, he was not as indifferent as at the beginning, and spoke: "Sit, don't stand all the time." "

"Lord Xie gives me a seat."

Then he instructed the maid, "Look at the tea." "

"Oh."

Cao Chong sat down on his chest, took a symbolic sip, and put down the tea.

Just when she was worried about what topic to find, Mrs. Ding took the initiative to speak and asked:

"What do you think about Zi Xuan's death in battle?"
