Three Kingdoms: before lying flat, dragging Zhao Yun to defect to Cao

Hearing this, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then two lights suddenly shot out from their eyes.

Zhong Yao is indeed a treasure, although the imperial edict played a certain role.

However, there must have been inextricable connections between Zhong Yao and the small princes of Guanzhong and Fan Chou.

If you want to persuade the small princes in Guanzhong to surrender, Zhong Yao can just open his mouth!

After listening, Cao Cao expressed his deep appreciation to Zhong Yao.

"What Yuan Chang proposed is approved!"

Soon, Zhong Yao left Xuchang again, took the emperor's edict and a team of tiger and leopard riders, and headed towards Chang'an.

The same is true of the Guanzhong Pingding War in history. Zhong Yao, under the order of Cao Cao, called on the small princes of Guanzhong to attack Li Jue and Guo Si.

In the end, Li Jue was defeated and died in Huangbai City, Guo Bang was killed by his subordinates, and the Xiliang Army was on the verge of destruction.

At this time, what is very different from the history is that Fan Chou is still alive!

In history, in order to eliminate dissidents, Li Jue and Guo Si killed Fan Choufu at a banquet and let him out in advance.

But now, in the face of Zhang Xiu's threat, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou temporarily united as one, and Fan Chou naturally lived until now.

But what Li Jue and Guo Si didn't expect was that Fan Chou was still secretly colluding with Zhong Yao in an attempt to submit to the court.

However, when they knew it, it was already too late.

Of course, that's something for later, Zhong Yao is still on his way west for the time being.

……

Outside Xuchang City

A few days after Zhong Yao left, a team of envoys from Xiangyang arrived in Xuchang.

Looking at the huge city in front of him, Kuai Yue was filled with shock.

Among the cities of the Han Dynasty, Xiangyang can already be regarded as one of the top five existences.

However, compared with Xuchang City, Xiangyang City is not worth mentioning at all.

As a local family in Jingzhou, Kuai Yue saw the majestic Xuchang City under Cao Cao's rule at this time, and was envious for a while.

"General Wen, if the Jingzhou army attacks this city of Xuchang, do you have the confidence to take it?"

Kuai Yue turned his head and asked Wen Pin beside him.

5.1 Hearing this, Wenpin couldn't help shaking his head.

"Mr. Kuai, even if our Jingzhou army were to attack this Xuchang city, I am afraid that it will not be able to take it in ten days and a half months, and it is still under the condition that the enemy's defense force is extremely weak."

Although he really didn't want to tell about the fact that the Jingzhou army was stretching his hips, Wenpin had to admit it at this time.

In the Battle of Baihe, the Jingzhou army was completely humiliated under the command of Cai Mao.

In order to improve the force of the army, Liu Biao specially recruited some Jingxiang heavy infantry.

Later, after the formation of the whole army, Liu Biao handed over the so-called Jingxiang heavy infantry to Cai Mao's command.

In the Battle of Baihe, the Jingxiang heavy armored infantry was completely wiped out, basically nothing was left.

Looking at Cao Jun again, from the scale of Xuchang City, we can see how strong Cao Cao's financial resources have become.

Then start with the army.

Cao Jun has many special forces such as tiger and leopard cavalry, Danyang elite soldiers, tiger guards, Qingzhou heavy armored infantry, and Xiandeng dead soldiers.

After the Battle of Runan, Gao Shun also officially joined the Cao camp with soldiers from the trapped camp.

Cao Cao now has military strength, financial resources, and political influence.

Kuai Yue smiled wryly and shook his head. Fortunately, he and his elder brother Kuai Liang proposed to go to Xuchang in time.

If not, once the decisive battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is decided, then Jingzhou will be in danger!

Looking at the thick city gate and the densely packed city defenses, Kuai Yue and Wenpin smiled wryly.

From this point of view, the Jingzhou soldiers were indeed a little bit of a frog in a well before.

"Let's go, General Wen, let's meet Cao Mengde, Tong Changping, and the civil servants and advisers in Cao Ying."

Kuai Yue sighed.

.......

Chapter 158 I, Cao Mengde, like vulgar things the most, won't Jing Sheng express it?

Zuixian Tower in Xuchang City

Hearing that there are many literati and poets in Jingxiang, Cao Cao deliberately chose the reception place as the private room of Zuixianlou.

This Zuixian building is extraordinary, it is Tong Fei's property, and it sells two great artifacts, Erguotou and Fengxiaowan.

In order to show enough importance to Liu Biao, Cao Cao brought Tong Fei, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai to meet Kuai Yue.

As for Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Xun You, they were not here because of their busy schedules.

Since this Zuixian building is Tong Fei's property, there are naturally some things in it that only veteran cadres have.

Just like now, there are ten beautiful maids standing beside Wenpin and Kuaiyue respectively.

For a moment, the two of them didn't know where to put their eyes.

On the other hand, Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others seemed much calmer at this moment.

This kind of occasion that only veteran cadres have, they usually see it a lot, so it's not surprising.

Seeing the appearance of Wenpin and Kuai Yue, Guo Jia couldn't help showing a trace of contempt on his face.

Afterwards, I only heard him say in a tone that was neither salty nor dull:

"I have always heard that there are many outstanding figures in Jingxiang. Mr. Yidu (the character of Kuai Yue) and General Zhongye (the character of Wenpin) are both dragons and phoenixes. Why do they show such expressions in front of the maid today?"

"Could it be that you two haven't seen such a scene?"

Hearing Guo Jia's ridicule, Kuai Yue really wanted to criticize him.

But the ten beautiful maids in front of him were so dizzying and shocking that Kuai Yue was speechless for a while to fight back.

As for Wenpin, he was a military commander, so he was naturally very clumsy in his words.

After much deliberation, Kuai Yue replied:

"Xuchang is worthy of being under the emperor's feet, I will see it later!"

[What knowledge do you have?Isn't it just you literati and poets in Jingxiang who like to pretend to be noble, but in fact, don't you have any points in your mind about what each LSP is like? 】

[Also, do you think that when Guo Jia came to this Zuixian Tower for the first time before, didn't he feel discouraged when he saw such a scene?He was just someone who came here to laugh at Mengxin. 】

[Look at Boss Cao again, how calm and calm he is now, no matter how the beautiful maids make their heads and poses, anyway, the veteran cadres are not moved. 】

【Hey~~ It's 20, I think he's high~】

Seeing this, Tong Fei couldn't help complaining.

This voice naturally drifted into Cao Cao's mind.

He could see clearly that Tong Fei obviously wanted to spit on Kuai Yue, but actually he wanted to spit on Cao Mengde.

But thinking of this, Cao Cao also looked at Kuai Yue with contempt.

It has to be said that Jingxiang's literati and poets are still not determined.

Unlike our veteran cadres in Xuchang City, all of them are "upright" people!

At this opening, the Jingzhou envoy group led by Kuai Yue and Wenpin fell into a disadvantage, and was defeated by the Cao Ying envoy group.

Fortunately, Kuai Yue is also a very thick-skinned person, he paused for a moment, and decided to get the business out of the way first.

Although the occasion of Zuixianlou doesn't look like a place to talk about serious business.

But Cao Cao is the host, so he can arrange whatever he wants.

Besides, both Kuai Yue and Wenpin liked this special arrangement.

I only heard Kuai Yue say:

"Lord Sikong, my lord is deeply sorry for the misunderstanding with Cao Jun before."

"……Misunderstand?"

"You Kuai Yue will really put gold on Liu Biao's face."

"Then the misunderstanding is too big, it has already hit Nanyang, Yuzhou, which is under the rule of the imperial court. Is this still a misunderstanding?"

"I think this is a blatant confrontation with the imperial court, and you want to betray the Han court, right?"

Under the hints of Cao Cao and Tong Fei, Guo Jia turned into a mouthpiece and took the lead in criticizing Kuai Yue's white lotus behavior.

"Mr. Fengxian, aren't your words too much?"

Kuai Yue fell silent, Wen Pin's veins popped up, and he said angrily.

"Excessive?"

"Then it's not too much to wait for your Jingzhou army to hit the Xuchang emperor's feet?"

Guo Jia smiled coldly.

Immediately, as if he suddenly remembered something, he added:

"I'm sorry I forgot just now. Your Jingzhou army's combat effectiveness is really not good enough. You won't even be able to get out of Jingbei soon, let alone Xuchang's feet."

"boom!"

Like a blow to the head, Kuai Yue and Wenpin were so ashamed that they almost wanted to find a hole in the ground.

This guy Guo Jia is really full of bad water. He is extremely hateful, and he can't open any pot.

What's worse is that they have no way to refute this matter.

In the Battle of Baihe, under the command of Cai Mao's "wise and martial arts", the Jingzhou army "won a complete defeat" and was chased south by Cao Jun, shocking the world.

Now facing Guo Jia's evaluation of the Jingzhou Army, Wen Pin was so angry that he couldn't help it.

He did not participate in the Battle of Baihe, so he did not have any right to speak.

Cai Hao, who has the right to speak, has also been scared out of his wits, and he probably will not dare to go north to attack Cao Jun in his lifetime.

"Mr. Fengxian, our army did have some misunderstandings with your army before, but those were Yuan Gonglu's instigation."

"Now, my lord has realized his mistake and wants to restore the old relationship with Lord Sikong."

Kuai Yue clasped his fists respectfully and said.

However, Cao Ying counselors can give up such a good opportunity to criticize?

Seeing that Xi Zhi stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Mr. Yidu, I'm not talking about you. We probably know what's going on in Jingzhou."

"The battle of Baihe was completely blamed by Cai Mao, but now you want your Kuai family to clean up the mess for him, do you think it makes sense?"

"Hey, we are both in Jingzhou, what is reasonable or unreasonable?"

Kuai Yue replied subconsciously.

However, as soon as he said it, he immediately regretted it.

No matter how much the Jingzhou aristocratic family fights, it is considered a civil war, and outsiders like Cao Ying should not know about it.

Sure enough, when they heard what Kuai Yue said, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others all showed a look of "so it is so".

Seeing that it was impossible to take back these words, Kuai Yue had no choice but to change the topic:

"My lord has always been supportive of Xuchang's imperial court. From the beginning to the end, this point has never changed."

"In this regard, I, Jingzhou, are willing to make a promise. From now on, regardless of the political affairs in the north, if Cao Sikong needs it, he can also speak to our Jingzhou army."

"As long as it is reasonable, our army will give us full assistance."

Kuai Yue said with "righteous words" on his face.

However, upon hearing this, all the counselors in Cao Ying showed contempt on their faces.

[Speaking is better than singing, the shit is reasonable and helpful. 】
