Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 589 Conspiracy in Xiangyang
Cao Cao was captured, and Deng Ai took him back to Runan City quickly. When Yuan Tan saw Cao Cao, the first meeting between the two was really embarrassing.

Cao Cao's face was full of unwillingness, if it wasn't for the appearance of Yuan Tan, he would have entered the north in the battle of Guandu that day, how could Yuan Shao be his opponent.

Only Tianxiang Yuan Tan, since Guandu, has been targeting him everywhere, and he has been eaten away by him step by step, and now he is captured here.

For Yuan Tan, Cao Cao only had hatred in his heart.

Although Yuan Tan didn't see Cao Cao's thoughts, he could see the hatred in Cao Cao's eyes. It seems that today's affairs can't be bettered.

Immediately, he ordered Cao Cao to be dragged out and beheaded. At this point, Cao Cao walked out of the battlefield of the late Han Dynasty where the princes were in chaos.

Jingzhou was extremely sad when Cao Cao was defeated and killed, and finally held a funeral for him, and supported Cao Pi to ascend to Cao Cao's position.

Cao Pi also vowed to avenge Cao Cao on the day he took office, and decided to take Yuan Tan's head as a memorial to his father.

However, the Cao family did not have a firm foothold in Jingzhou, and Cao Cao took most of his soldiers out of Xiangyang City. Now Cao Pi only has 3 people in his hands.

Now, his situation is very worrying.

In Runan City, just a few days after the end of the war, Yuan Tan will continue to lead troops to Jingzhou to wipe out the remnants of Cao Cao.

Everyone dissuaded, although Cao Cao died, Jingzhou should not be underestimated.

There are also nearly 4 soldiers in Jingzhou, but now Runan can only gather [-] people for Yuan Tan, and if they are all taken away, Runan will be empty. If there is another sneak attack from other forces, I am afraid It is very difficult to defend, and Runan is an important communication point between Jing and Yu. If it is captured, it will cut off Yuan Tan's back road. This march is too dangerous.

But Yuan Tan knew that when he went to Jingzhou this time, he had taken over Xiangyang City in the past, and he didn't want to fight.

Immediately, he ruled out all opinions, and took Deng Ai and his five thousand iron stupas to Jingzhou.

In Xiangyang City, the Cai family was suppressed in every possible way after Cao Cao entered Jingzhou, and the generals who were in charge of the Jingzhou military power before were also surrendered secretly and seized the military power.

Now only Cai's younger brother Cai Mao still has some military power, and this is because he has taken a fancy to his ability to train the navy, so he has not completely taken it away.

That's it, in military and political discussions, he is like an outsider, he can't get in a word, even if he says a word, he is ignored.

Cai Mao is also respectful and cautious in Xiangyang City now, walking on thin ice.

I thought that recruiting Cao Cao into Jingzhou would help them drive away the tiger Liu Bei, but who knew that Cao Cao was another hungry wolf.

But these days, Cai Mao is very happy.

Cao Cao is dead, and now the old Jingzhou Ministry has other thoughts, and there has been an endless stream of people looking for him in private these days.

Even Cai Hao thought about it a little bit, but when he thought of taking refuge in Yuan Tan, it reminded him of his humble appearance when he was caught by Yuan Tan before, and he felt ashamed.

At that time, he had no choice but to survive, but now it is different, he also has the capital, so Yuan Tan should beg him.

Thinking of this, Cai Mao puffed up his chest and walked towards a restaurant. Someone invited him to dinner today.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, he immediately saw that the person who invited him today was Zhang Yun.

After Cao Cao entered Jingzhou, Zhang Yun joined Cao Cao together with Cai Mao, because he was also good at water warfare, so he was also one of the only people who had not been cut off.

"Why did General Zhang invite me here today?" Cai Mao pretended to be upright.

Zhang Yun and Cai Mao are relatives. Seeing Cai Mao's pretentiousness this time, he felt a little angry, but at the moment he had no choice but to smile and said: "General Cai is often busy with military affairs, and I have never been able to invite him to drink. A glass of water and wine, seeing the general recently, I have time, so I just want to have a little get-together, a little get-together."

Cai Mao found this very useful, so he followed Zhang Yun's guidance and sat down: "Why does General Zhang need to be like this, you and I don't have to be so polite."

Zhang Yun also sat down afterwards, firstly they drank a few cups with each other, exchanged a few words of pleasantries, then Zhang Yun took advantage of the situation and asked: "General Cai, Prime Minister Cao was defeated and killed, Cao Pi is in power, how should we deal with each other? "

Cai Mao heard this and said with a smile: "This is the time for us to serve. The Cao family is short of soldiers and generals, and we have [-] soldiers in Jingzhou. If we can make military exploits, we will definitely pay attention to them. We will be able to do so soon." Prosperity."

Zhang Yun smiled wryly and said: "General Cai is probably thinking a little too simple. Looking at when the military power of the Cao family fell into the hands of people with a different surname, the reason why I left the two of us this time is nothing more than the hope that I will wait in the Jingzhou army." The prestige to appease the sergeant, if after a while, the Cao family assimilates him, will the Jingzhou sergeant know the two of us?"

When Cai Mao heard this, his heart was also touched, but this time he had no choice but to ask, "I wonder if General Zhang has any good strategies?"

Zhang Yun looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he whispered to Cai Mao: "I think the Yuan family is a man who can achieve great things. On the other hand, the Cao family will be happy to join Li Dian's generation. With Yuan Tan, who is not here now?" In an important position, if I also go to surrender, even the one hundred thousand soldiers in Jingzhou will not be inferior to them. '

When Cai Mao heard that it was Yuan Tan, he felt lingering fears. He had never had any face at Yuan Tan's place that day, so he couldn't hold back: "General Zhang, let's stop now, don't talk about it again."

Zhang Yun saw that although Cai Mao was moved, he did not behave like this at the moment, so he stopped talking and just continued to drink with Cai Mao.

The two of them were both concerned at the moment, they couldn't drink the wine after a long time, so the two ended hastily, bid farewell and went home.

Cai Mao also returned to his mansion with a lot of thoughts in his heart. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his sister Cai sobbing in the room.

Seeing Cai Mao's return, Mrs. Cai rushed forward anxiously, crying, "Degui, please save my son."

Cai Hao was also surprised, and asked: "Sister, don't cry anymore, what's wrong with Cong'er? Take your time."

Mrs. Cai also wiped away the tears from her face, and said to Cai Mao: "Cao Cao imprisoned Cong'er in the city mansion that day, and called him the Lord of Jingzhou. Having won the position of Jingzhou Shepherd, he forced Cong'er to give way to him many times. Cong'er is still a child, how can he endure such hardships? If Cao Pi loses patience after a while, his life may be in jeopardy. "

When Cai Mao asked, he also said angrily, "How dare Mrs. Cao treat me like this."

I think it was he who proposed to lure Cao Cao to Jingzhou that day, and now it has indeed brought disaster. Not only did Liu Cong's Jingzhou shepherd not be kept, but now his life is in danger.

Cai Mao made up his mind at this moment. Once Cai was reassured, he sent someone to send her away, and then rushed to Zhang Yun's residence alone.
