Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Among them, Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, was the most thorough and the one with the highest official position so far.

Han Xuan is quick-tempered, less interested in killing, greedy for money and lustful, facing the offensive of money and beautiful women from the shadow guards, he was quickly defeated and completely fell into Cao Cao's arms.

This time, the shadow guard provided Cai Mao with a transport ship from Changsha through Han Xuan, otherwise Cai Mao would have to spend a lot of effort to go north.

Dongting Lake is connected to the Yangtze River.

Now that the Jingzhou Navy is almost disabled, Cai Mao and others should be able to avoid Jingzhou's eyes and ears and reach Deng County as long as they are careful and stay out at night.

When he arrived in Deng County, Cai Mao would directly join Cao Cao.

After that, he can, as an officer of the Han Dynasty, avenge his deep hatred of being kicked out of his homeland by Liu Qi and Pang Tong!

Chapter 5 and Nine

In the winter of the ninth year of Jian'an, there was heavy snowfall in the sky.

This year's winter is still very cold, but in the Central Plains and Hebei, the people no longer have to worry about survival.

In Fancheng City, Cao Ren, who was warming himself by the fire, suddenly heard a report from a soldier: Dozens of transport ships had arrived at the port.

After Cao Ren heard this, he didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly put on his cloak, called his lieutenant Niu Jin, and took a hundred or so personal guards with him, and rushed towards the port.

When he arrived at the port, Cao Ren was shocked by the scene in front of him, and couldn't help sighing: "Good guy!"

In front of me, there are more than 1000 young and middle-aged men who look like beggars. They are ragged, unkempt, skinny, and many of them are covered with blood-oozing bandages... They are shivering in the cold wind, It seems that if he is two hours late, this group of people might have to explain it here...

I don't know how they got here...

But judging from the clothes of the leaders, although the armor on their bodies was tattered, it could be seen from the style of the armor that they were indeed high-ranking generals.

Seeing hundreds of Cao Jun coming on horseback, although Cai Mao didn't know Cao Ren, judging from Cao Ren's bearing and Jia Wei, he should be the city guard.

Cai Mao endured the hunger that he hadn't eaten for three days, and waited until Cao Ren and the others approached, then he cupped his fists and bowed in salute: "General Cai Mao in Xiajingzhou, I have seen the general!"

Cao Ren didn't hesitate at all, he quickly turned over and jumped off his horse, helped Cai Mao up and said, "Hahaha! I have heard about General Cai's name for a long time, seeing him today is enough to comfort my life!"

"Eh..." Cai Mao was a little confused by Cao Ren's reaction, why does this tone sound weird?

"Oh! I was so happy to see General Cai that I forgot to introduce myself!" Seeing that Cai Mao was a bit puzzled, Cao Ren slapped his forehead and said, "I am General Jianzhong Cao Ren, who is now the guard of Fancheng."

"It turned out to be General Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao!" Cai Mao was stunned and thought, then there is no problem.

Cao Ren's flattery just now is indeed a bit strange for someone with little fame and status.

But who is Cao Ren?That is Cao Cao's closest and most valued clan brother!To a certain extent, his attitude can actually be regarded as Cao Cao's attitude.

When these words came out of Cao Ren's mouth, it immediately appeared that he had given Cai Mao and others a lot of face.

Cao Ren glanced at many Jingzhou soldiers who were not fully clothed, and hurriedly said to the guards beside him, "Hurry up, take General Cai's subordinates to the barracks, and serve them with good wine and good food! Also, go and get two thousand cotton-padded clothes, Two thousand quilts, we must not let the brothers who came from afar starve and suffer cold!"

After arranging Cai Mao's subordinates, Cao Ren took Cai Mao's arm and said, "Several generals will follow me into the city, and I will hold a banquet to wash away the dust for them!"

Cao Ren's arrangement was not bad, but it was precisely because it was so good that Cai Mao felt a little uncomfortable.

He secretly glanced at the subordinates who were so grateful to Cao Ren, and smiled wryly in his heart: "This Cao Ren is really powerful... Just with some wine, food and clothes, he has established a good impression among our army..."

But after thinking about it, his Cai Mao brothers are determined to serve Boss Cao, and the more than 1000 soldiers are actually not that important.

Cai Mao immediately felt open-minded, clasped his fists together and thanked: "So, thank you General Cao for your hospitality!"

"Please!"

......

Cai Mao is not as useless as he appears in the novel.

On the contrary, as the head of the Cai family, he has huge contacts and resources in Jingzhou; moreover, he is also a very capable naval officer.He led the navy to fight Jiangdong back and forth, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Now Cao Cao has no shortage of wise generals or fierce generals under his command, but the only thing he lacks is naval generals.

Although there are Gan Ning and Su Fei now, if the navy wants to expand, it must have more generals who understand water warfare.

In fact, in the past few months, Cao Cao had received many letters from the officials and gentry sent by the chief general of Jingzhou, and they had secretly sent letters expressing their willingness to surrender.

Now the news of Cai Maolai's vote has spread to Xuchang again, which makes Cao Cao and others see the hope of taking Jingzhou without bloodshed.

If you can directly persuade to surrender, no one will be willing to fight.

Cai Mao is a person who has no great wisdom, but he does not lack little cleverness.As early as when Pang Tong drove him to flee everywhere, he had already decided to join Cao Cao.

In the early years, the Shadow Guard had many connections with the Cai family, and even when Liu Cong intended to seize the position of Lord of Jingzhou, the Shadow Guard even provided some secret assistance.

It's a pity that because of Zhuge Jin and Pang Tong's quick cuts, Cai Mao and others were given a firm foothold by Pang Tong and Liu Qi before they could react.

Cai Mao was so angry that he didn't listen to the advice of the shadow guards to leave Jingzhou and go to Boss Cao. Instead, he tried to gather troops to attack Xiangyang... But he was defeated by Pang Tong, and he was chased and killed in a big circle on the map.

Cai Mao had already thought about choosing to surrender to Cao Cao.

Compared with Soochow, Cao Cao has almost no naval forces under his command. Cai Maolai's vote is like sending charcoal in a timely manner, and he will definitely have a chance to show his fists; and if he seeks refuge in Jiangdong, he may only be able to guard the shipyard...

Cai Mao's arrival made Cao Cao very happy, and even hosted a banquet for his three brothers in the prime minister's mansion.

During the banquet, Cao Cao also called Lu Yan, Gan Ning, and Su Fei over, saying that they were both navy generals, and asked them to get acquainted first.

However, Gan Ning, Su Fei, and Cai Mao were a little embarrassed when they met. After all, Gan Ning and Su Fei used to be a member of the navy of the Jingzhou Army, but now they are all sitting in the prime minister's residence of the deadly enemy Cao Cao.

Really... Where in life do we not meet each other!

The most embarrassing thing for Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, and Cai He is that Gan Ning and Su Fei, who were despised and neglected by them in the past, have now become the commanders of Cao Jun's navy. above.

Now this meeting, how can we not make the three brothers Cai Mao feel a lot of embarrassment and embarrassment.

Fortunately, Gan Ning and Su Fei are "open-minded" people, and they didn't care about the contempt of the Cai brothers back then.

During the banquet, Gan Ning and Su Fei took turns drinking with the Cai family brothers, until the three of them drank under the table before giving up.

Seeing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Actually, even if Cai Mao and others join, your status will not be shaken. Why are you so narrow-minded?"

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "But our warships and cannons are not owned by others, so why are these guys so cheap?"

It turns out that you are not reconciled to sharing your baby with others? !

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing and said, "Of course not! The navy is also divided into units. You are the most elite unit of the Han Navy, and only you can afford these most advanced weapons!"

Cao Cao and Lu Yan would not be so stupid, they would hand over the most high-end weapons to those who surrendered to Cai Mao.Moreover, the equipment and maintenance of these things are very costly, and it is not easy to equip them if you want to equip them.

Seeing that both Lu Yan and Cao Cao had expressed their views, Gan Ning finally laughed and said, "With your words, my old Gan can rest assured! Hahaha!"

5 ten chapters of human heart, the most unpredictable

The arrival of Cai Mao not only brought Cao Cao contacts in Jingzhou and the commander of the navy, he also brought another good news to Cao Cao.

After Cao Ren sent someone to send Cai Mao to Xuchang,

Cai Mao cried to the emperor Liu Xie in the court hall: Liu Jingzhou was called a sudden illness, but in fact he was secretly poisoned by Liu Qi, Zhuge Jin, Pang Tong and others.He also implored Liu Xie to send troops to attack Jingzhou and seek justice for the dead Liu Biao.

The Chinese nation has always paid attention to the famous teachers. The arrival of Cai Mao and the crying to the emperor in the court, isn't this just a good excuse for Cao Cao to send troops?

......

In the tenth year of Jian'an, in February, Cao Jun reorganized his army and prepared for war, pointing his sword at Jingzhou!

During this period, Lu Yan found time to go to Xuchang's cell, where Ling Tong, Zhu Ran and Dong Xi, three Jiangdong generals captured from Jingzhou, were imprisoned.

The Xuchang Prison is divided into three areas, the last one is the one where death row inmates are held, which is dirty and smelly without seeing the light of day.

However, the three Jiangdong generals, Lu Yan, are still of great use, so naturally he will not treat them too badly.

Attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom.

Although it is not the time to attack Jiangdong, Lu Yan is still going to use these three people to drive a nail of disharmony in Jiangdong's interior!

The best cell is where Ling Tong, Zhu Ran, and Dong Xi live.

The place is not only spacious, clean, and bright, but also has tables and quilts; the food also includes meat and vegetables; even the jailers can provide some books for the prisoners to pass the boring time.

In the aisle of the prison, Lu Yan sat on a stool leisurely, looking at the three prisoners with different expressions in the three cells in front of him.

Ling Tong had the most staunch temper. Although he didn't know Lu Yan's identity, seeing that even Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun were standing behind him, he naturally knew that the scribe in front of him had an extraordinary identity.

Thinking a little more about the people Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were following, Zhu Ran, who had the most active mind, immediately guessed the true identity of this "weak" scribe in front of him.

Seeing that Lu Yan hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhu Ran couldn't help coming to the railing at last, and asked first, "My lord, Zhu Ran, if you dare to ask your Excellency, is it Lu Yan, Lu Changsheng, the general of Hussars?"

Zhu Ran lived in the middle of the three cells.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ling Tong and Dong Xi, who were locked up in the next two cells, immediately came to the railing and stared at Lu Yan with hostility.

Lu Yan nodded slightly, and replied with a smile: "It's Lu."

After getting Lu Yan's confirmation, Ling Tong immediately roared angrily: "Lu Yan! I, Ling Tong, will definitely tear you to pieces with my own hands!"

"Lu Yan! I...I can't beat you..." Dong Xi originally wanted to scold you to XXX or something, but when he thought that Lu Yan is one of the few masters today, he immediately beat him like frost The eggplant was average and wilted.

After hearing Ling Tong's words, Xia Houlan sneered and said with disdain: "It's up to you? Let's talk about it after you defeat me first, and then Ziyi, Dianwei, Han Sheng, Zilong and others."

After Dong Xi heard the names of these people, he couldn't help swallowing, and didn't dare to stare at Lu Yan again.

Although Ling Tong was still angry, with the names of these people in front of him, the anger in his heart could not help but quickly diminish until it was extinguished.

People are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and now even I am in prison, so how can I talk about revenge, how can I talk about killing Lu Yan?What's more, Xia Houlan seemed to be unable to defeat any of those people Xia Houlan mentioned... Alas, sadness.

Lu Yan didn't get angry at all, but watched the three people's reactions with interest.

Zhu Ran is worthy of being a character with both civil and military skills. He has always behaved calmly and is a good seedling.

Ling Tong is extremely brave, bold and righteous, and has the style of a national scholar, but he is too young and easy to get too excited.

Dong Xi is a general, but only a little above average.

Even if he wanted to persuade these three people to surrender, he didn't need Lu Yan to come in person.He came here for his other plans.

Suddenly, Lu Yan asked suddenly: "You tell me, how much money is Sun Quan willing to spend to redeem you?"

"?"

The three of them were startled when they heard Lu Yan's words.

Surrender is impossible. They all thought that even if they would not lose their lives, they would probably have to spend the rest of their lives in prison, but they didn't expect that Lu Yan would suddenly raise such a question?

The three of them are considered the mainstay of Jiangdong. How could Lu Yan put them back for money and food?

Is it really short of money and food, or are you joking or humiliating them?

Not knowing how true or false Lu Yan's words were, the three of Zhu Ran naturally chose to remain silent.

Those three people ignored Lu Yan's question, Xia Houlan couldn't stand it any longer, "Sir, are you all deaf?!"

After a while, Zhu Ran tentatively asked: "Lu Hussar's question...is it serious?"

He even questioned Lu Yan?

Now Zhao Yun couldn't bear it any longer, and he replied for Lu Yan: "Sir, you always say what you say, and say what you say! Since he asked this question, naturally he won't play tricks on you, you can tell us what you want!"

With Zhao Yun's guarantee, Zhu Ran believed six or seven points.

But how much is Sun Quan willing to pay to redeem them?Zhu Ran is really not too clear.

"Tell me, how much food do you think you are worth?" Lu Yan asked, pointing his chin slightly at Dong Xi.

"Me?" Dong Xi was suddenly called by Lu Yan, and suddenly felt uneasy, a bit like when he was absent from class and suddenly called by the teacher to answer questions.

"I... that... uh..." Dong Xi faltered for a long time, and then said a number, "Two thousand gold?"

Two thousand gold... This is too cheap!

Not to mention Lu Yan, even Xia Houlan couldn't help shaking her head.

Lu Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Could it be that you are only worth thousands of gold in Sun Quan's eyes?"

But the problem is, in the eyes of Dong Xi and others, two thousand gold is already a lot!You know, you can buy [-] to [-] stones of grain and grass in Jiangdong for a thousand gold!Two thousand gold, isn't it seventy or eighty thousand stones of grain and grass!

But looking at Lu Yan's appearance, he clearly disliked them for underestimating himself...

Zhu Ran instinctively felt that Lu Yan's words were a trap, but before he could speak again, Lu Yan had lost his patience and made a final decision: "Zhu Ran's [-] gold, Ling Tong's [-] gold, and your Dong Xi's [-] gold, we will give you [-] gold." Such a happy decision!"

Zhu Ran, Ling Tong, and Dong Xi looked at Lu Yan in astonishment, Er immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible, this asking price is too outrageous!"

"Of course, I didn't say that I can't bargain... As for the final result, it depends on how much weight you have in Sun Quan's heart!"

After Lu Yan finished speaking, he stood up and said: "At the latest half a month, there will be a reply from Jiangdong... I hope you can all occupy more weight in Sun Quan's heart."

After speaking, Lu Yan left.
