Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 415 Opportunists, Cai Mao

Cai Zhong came back after a while and pushed open the curtain.

Behind the curtain, a person came out, and this person was Sima Zhao.

It turned out that from the beginning, the land of Hanzhong and Jingzhou had already fallen into Sima Yi's arrangements.

At this time, the change of seizing the throne has not yet been resolved.

The compromise between Sima Yi, Queen Mother Ding and others was to get rid of Cao Peng in Sichuan.

Sima Yi's two sons are both extremely talented, so they were sent out by him.

But what the old thief miscalculated is that Master Sima is dead!

"General Cai, I have just received news that Brother Xiahou in Hanzhong has joined Cao Peng!" Sima Zhao said hastily.

Cai Hao said with a smile: "Master Sima's news is still a bit late, then Xia Houdun came to Liangzhou again, took advantage of the feigned surrender, at this time he captured Li Dian and Le Jin without bloodshed, Liangzhou has actually belonged to Commander Cao Peng. "

"Impossible. The tigers and leopards in Liangzhou are not vegetarians, and Zhang Liao is also a man who has experienced many battles. Could it be that he also joined Cao Peng?" Sima Zhao said with a face full of disbelief.

Cai Mao laughed and said, "Your Excellency is really right, that Zhang Liao has already taken refuge in Cao Peng at this time."

Understanding the current situation, Sima Zhao's expression was no longer as calm as before.

He cupped his hands and said, "General, the current situation is in dire straits. The expansion of the rebel forces is in full swing. General, don't hesitate any longer. You are the country's number one loyal minister by sending troops to quell the chaos."

Cai Mao sighed and said, "Why do I not want to serve the country? This is because I am old, and Cao Peng is so powerful. It is the limit for me to protect Jinxiang for the imperial court."

"By the way, there is another piece of unfortunate news. I want to tell my lord that your elder brother, Sima Shi, seems to have been killed by the enemy's hunting knife!"

Sima Zhao's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't feel much grief for his elder brother's death.

What he thought in his mind was that no one would compete with him for the big position in the future.

The war is not over yet, but Sima Zhao has already thought about what will happen after the war.

Everything about Cao Wei has been regarded by his Sima family as the palm of his hand.

The only thing that surprised him was Cao Peng's invasion, so fast, if the land of Jingzhou couldn't stop him and let him pass over here, he would really enter the sky.

"General, I have told you a lot of truths before, the imperial court is using people for their strategy, the general should not delay..." Sima Zhao continued to persuade Cai Mao to send troops.

Just now, Sima Zhao was just letting Sima Zhao out and complaining, but in fact sending troops was inevitable.

"Lord Sima, I'm just a reckless man. What should we do? Please tell us clearly at the camp!" Cai Mao asked with a smile.

Sima Zhao knew that it was Cai Mao who was asking, and he was not ambiguous about it, so he said immediately:
"We just need to fight steadily and step by step, and we won't give our opponents any chance!

However, it is difficult to transport food along the Shu Road, and if the stalemate continues for a long time, they will inevitably retreat! "

"Hehe, good, this is really a clever plan, if you use this plan, Jingzhou will be safe!" Cai Mao laughed.

Cai Mao is not stupid, he doesn't want to fight to the death with the opponent, if this is the case, he will not say that he will lose his army, but let him stick to his old book.

Sima Zhao's steady strategy is exactly what he wants.

Seeing that Cai Mao had been persuaded, Sima Zhao hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"After the Cao Peng rebellion is put down, the general can take advantage of the situation and go down to Xichuan. At that time, the imperial court will definitely give the general a king and a marquis!"

In the beautiful fantasy described by Sima Zhao, Cai Mao said with a smile:

"In this case, we have to rely on Lord Sima."

He is not a fool, he naturally knows that if he wants to get promoted and make a fortune, he must rely on Sima Yi.

It's a mutually beneficial relationship where we're all in the same boat.

He stroked his long beard with a high-spirited feeling.

What he didn't notice was that the corner of Sima Zhao's mouth curled into a sneer.

He laughed, Cai Mao is really a fool.

I have already boarded the thief ship of Sima's family, but I still don't know it.

"By the way, you said that you want to marry the Sima family's daughter to me, but can you still do something about it?" Cai Mao asked suddenly.

Sima Zhao was taken aback, this...

I didn't expect Cai Mao to be the kind of person who climbs up the ladder.

"Of course, don't worry, general!" Sima Zhao said.

"You can't convince me with your empty teeth, go back quickly and bring me your heart!
Otherwise, I will never send troops! "Cai Mao laughed.

"Hey, General Cai, to tell you the truth, we are also very anxious about this matter, but it is difficult to choose an auspicious day..."

Sima Zhao prevaricated hesitantly.

His attitude made Cai Mao dissatisfied immediately.

"Hehe, you actually thought that it would be difficult to choose an auspicious day with such an excuse?" Cai Mao said coldly.

Sima Zhao frowned, he knew that if he continued to prevaricate, this guy might turn his back on him.

"Hey, General, the difficulty in this is really..."

Cai Mao's face turned cold, and he said directly: "Actually, if your Sima family despises me, just say so, why beat around the bush."

Sima Zhao hastily denied, "General, you really misunderstood..."

At the moment of stalemate, it was the spies who broke the situation.

"Report, Zhang Liao's tiger and leopard cavalry, traveling southward in the starry night, are now on the verge of Xiangyang!"

This news made Sima Zhao frowned.

Cai Mao on the side smiled and said, "My lord, did you hear that? So things are changing rapidly, so it's not optimistic!"

The situation is really stronger than people, Sima Zhao has no choice.

In his opinion, he can only let his sister come over first,
"Okay, so please give me a fast horse, I'll go back to Xudu immediately and bring my sister down!" Sima Zhao gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, I believe that my lord is a man of his word, then I will set up the army first."

After receiving Sima Zhao's compromise, Cai Mao immediately called people over as if pretending to be there, and arranged the next march mission.

Sima Zhao reminded: "Cao Peng is deceitful, and there are tiger and wolf troops under his command. The general must be careful not to advance rashly. The best policy is to grasp and fight steadily."

Cai Mao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I understand all these things in my heart!"

……

Cao Peng was not aware of the gangsters in Jingzhou.

He is sitting in a carriage, traveling all the way.

In this battle, he personally led the army and guarded the Chinese army.

Zhang Liao had already returned to his command, and the tiger and leopard cavalry were guarding his side at this moment.

Accompanying him in the carriage was Huang Yueying, a beautiful woman who had now become Cao Peng's wife.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, after seizing Jingzhou, the land of the Central Plains is already in our hands."

Huang Yueying's mood was a bit complicated, but the emotion in his words was perceived by Cao Peng.

Cao Peng stroked her face lightly, and said with a smile, "Ah Yue, are you thinking that Jingzhou still has Yuezhang and Huang's family?"
