Chapter 144
Cao Cao is here!
There was a lot of discussion in the hall.
"Isn't Cao Cao in Guanzhong, fighting fiercely with the generals of Liangzhou, how could he come all the way to Jingzhou?"
Liu Bei was a little puzzled, and looked at Xiao Yuan.
"If my guess is correct, it should be Cai Mao Kuaiyue who sold Liu Cong and fooled him into surrendering to Cao Cao. "
"Such a big stuffed rice fell from the sky, and we, Cao Sikong, naturally came in the dust and wanted to snatch Xiangyang from our bowl. "
Xiao Yuan's words pierced Cao Cao's motives.
"Xiao Junshi is really like a god. "
"Tong did hear the rumors, Liu Cong has sent someone to ask Cao Cao to surrender. "
"Xiangyang is very close to Xudu, Cao Cao is afraid that the lord will betray the alliance, and when he and Yuan Shao are in a decisive battle, he will go north from Xiangyang to attack Xudu. "
In this way, it is reasonable for him to ignore the unsettled Liangzhou and hurried back to compete with the lord for Xiangyang. "
Pang Tong also corroborated Xiao Yuan's speculation.
Liu Bei suddenly realized and sighed: "Cao Mengde underestimated me Liu Bei, I am not only allied with him, but also the kind of person who is treacherous and stabbed in the back." "
"On the side of the couch, let others sleep soundly. "
Cao Cao's worries are understandable. "
Xiao Yuan was not surprised.
Liu Bei nodded slightly, and then asked: "Cao Cao has come to Fancheng, I am afraid that he will not be willing to let Xiangyang fall into my hands, what do we think we should do next?"
"Cao Cao wants to spend it in Fancheng, so let him spend it. "
"He doesn't have a boat of 637, even if he has an army of millions, how can he cross the Han River?"
"Swim here?"
Xiao Yuan said disapprerovingly.
As soon as he reminded him, Liu Bei immediately relieved his heart.
"Since this is the case, then I will transfer all the sailors to Xiangyang, cut off the Han River, and do not ask Cao Cao to sail down the river. "
"Cao Cao wants to spend as long as he wants, and I will consume it with him. "
"I want to see if when Yuan Shao's army goes south, what confidence he has to spend it with me. "
At that moment, Liu Bei ordered that all the water armies be transferred to Xiangyang to cut off the Han River.
Then, according to Pang Tong's recommendation, he was appointed as an official, and took over the vacant official position after Cai Kuai's extermination.
At the same time, they also confiscated and counted the land properties of Cai Kuai and the two clans, and promoted the government military system and the Juntian system in the seven counties of Jingzhou as quickly as possible.
...
North bank of Han River, Fancheng.
Cao Cao climbed the tower of the south gate and looked down on the Han River from a high vantage point.
I saw that on the river, more than 100 warships patrolled and swam on the river, and the "Liu" flag was waving all over the river, as if they were showing off their might to him.
"Hurry up, hurry up, after all, it's still a step slower. "
"Liu Jingsheng's son, he is really a dog, and he can't even hold it for ten days!"
Cao Cao looked at Jiang and sighed, and his words were extremely contemptuous of Liu Cong.
Guo Jia sighed: "It's not (adbj) that Liu Cong is incompetent, it's that Xiao Yuan is as wise as a god, and even Sun Ce is not an opponent, let alone Liu Cong." "
"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan..."
"It's a pity that such a rare genius in the world can't be used by me!"
Cao Cao sighed and sighed, his eyebrows full of regret.
Cao Hong said angrily: "Even if we take a step late, we will fight the Han River and take Xiangyang from Liu Bei!"
Cao Cao shook his head and smiled bitterly, but remained silent.
"General Zilian, if you want to fight the Han River, you must first have a naval army. "
"We are a bunch of landlubbers, how did we hit the Han water, don't we want to swim over?"
Guo Jia expressed his helplessness for Cao Cao.
Cao Hong was speechless, and only then did he come to his senses.
Then he clenched his fists and said unwillingly: "Then what should I do, do you just sit back and watch Liu Bei capture Xiangyang and take Jingzhou?"
Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and he turned his head to look at Guo Jia.
"The capture of Xiangyang and Liu Bei's capture of Jingzhou is a foregone conclusion. "
"Since it is impossible for us to fight Hanshui, there is no need to betray the alliance and have a meaningless conflict with Liu Bei, but delay the battle against Yuan Shao. "
"What's more, although we didn't take Xiangyang, we managed to grab Xinye and Fancheng, and suppressed Liu Bei south of Hanshui. "
"This situation, although not perfect, is barely acceptable. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Guo Jia analyzed the pros and cons.
"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable. "
Cao Cao nodded and said, "After pacifying Fancheng Xinye, we will return to the north and prepare to fight Yuan Shao to the south." "
Cao Hong understood Cao Cao's distress, and could only shake his head and sigh.
At the head of the city, there was silence for a while.
"Father, my son thinks that there is one more thing we need to do before we return to the north. "
A young man behind him suddenly spoke.
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he said with interest: "Pi'er, what do you think, let your father hear it." "
The young son is the second son Cao Pi.
Since the eldest son Cao Ang died in Wancheng, Cao Pi was promoted to become the eldest son of the Cao family.
Cao Cao also intended to train Cao Pi, conquer Guanzhong, and take the army with him when he went south to Jingzhou.
"On both sides of the Han River, in the area of Fancheng in Xiangyang, there are many wealthy families in Jingzhou. "
"If my father wants to pacify Fancheng Xinye, he is bound to get the support and support of these wealthy families. "
Therefore, the son thinks that his father should be gracious and kind to these wealthy families. "
Cao Pi was clear and expressed his opinions.
Cao Cao nodded approvingly: "To be able to say such an opinion, Pi'er, your knowledge has indeed improved a lot." "
"What Pi Gongzi said is extremely true. "
"Kuai Huang Pang Cai Jingzhou four surnames, Liu Bei has destroyed Cai Kuai and the two clans, and the Pang clan has attached Liu Bei. "
"With the appeal of the Pang family, there will be a large number of wealthy families in Jingzhou, who will be attached to Liu Bei. "
"Therefore, if we want to compete with Liu Bei for the support of the Jingzhou clan, we must first win the support of the Huang family among the four surnames. "
"If the Huang family can openly take refuge in Sikong, with its influence, it will definitely be able to drive many wealthy celebrities to switch to Sikong. "
"In this way, we can compete with Liu Bei to win back some people's hearts and ensure the stability of Fancheng Xinye. "
Guo Jia echoed Cao Pi's proposal and analyzed it further.
"What Feng Xiao said is extremely true, the family in Jingzhou is strong, and it must not all fall to Liu Bei!"
Cao Cao thought so, so he asked: "Then Feng Xiao thinks, how should I envelop the Huang family." "
Guo Jia's eyes rolled and he thought about it.
"The Huang family is a first-class family in Jingzhou, and Huang Chengyan is a famous person in the world, who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and has refused to go out of Liu Biao several times. "
"So the lord wants to rely on official sealing and other means, but he is afraid that he will not be able to get Huang Chengyan, so he can only find another way. "
Guo Jia's eyes gradually became playful.
"Going off the beaten track?"
"What's the other way?"
Cao Cao's eyes were full of curiosity.
"Marriage!"
Guo Jia raised two fingers.
"Jia heard that Huang Chengyan has a daughter under his knees, known as the first talented woman in Jingzhou. "
"And Pi Gongzi has not yet married, and the daughter of the Huang family is also unmarried, and the two are a good match. "
"Why don't Sikong take the title of Pi Gongzi, propose marriage to Huang Chengyan, marry his daughter, and the two families will form a good relationship between Qin and Jin. "
If this is the case, Huang Chengyan and the Huang family will naturally turn to Sikong and fully support it. "
"With the support of the Huang family, Sikong's control of Xinye Fancheng will be foolproof. "
Guo Jia smiled and said the plan.
When Cao Pi heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he was a little excited.
"Fengxiao's plan is very good, and it's time for Pi'er to marry a wife!"
"The first talented woman in Jingzhou is also worthy of my Cao Cao's son!"
Cao Cao laughed and said happily: "I'll go to the Huang family now, give that Huang Chengyan enough face, and ask for this family affair for Pi'er!"
Cao Pi rubbed his fists secretly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of joy.
