What Cao Cao was most worried about was that his subordinates would not work hard, and he was afraid of Guan Yu's power and refused to rescue Jiangling.

But he received a military newspaper from Le Jin, saying that Cai Mao had dispatched troops and issued a military order to protect Jiangling's safety, so that Jiangling would penetrate firmly into the heartland of Jingnan like a nail, so that Sun and Liu would never be able to live in peace.

This made Cao Cao stunned. He couldn't help but walk out of the mansion. He looked at the sun was indeed east and pulled his beard again. Then he couldn't help but shake his head.

"How strange, how strange. It's really strange. Cai Mao is not at the end of his life. Why is this?"

Wang Bi smiled bitterly:

"Oh, Cai Maoding felt that if Liu Bei had made great efforts, he would not let him go. Therefore, he surrendered in advance, so he was so attentive.

This person…hey, hey, he deserves to die.”

As for the king, the Jiangnan part of Jingzhou is now necessary to defend it.

Just leave Xiangyang as the fulcrum for the south and the barrier for the north, and withdraw it from Jiangbei everywhere, so as to minimize the losses of soldiers. Cao Cao also knew that such a method of using troops was more in line with the right way of military strategy and was very suitable for the current situation.

But he is now the most powerful minister and uses the emperor to command the princes, which is essentially completely in conflict with the emperor.

The so-called "when sailing against the current, you will retreat." If you cannot go further in the position of the prime minister, when he dies, the Cao family will always have unvirtuous descendants. The Han Han will definitely settle his current sins. Even if it is not the emperor's order, those loyal to the Han Han will take action.

Going further requires sufficient merit.

Since the unification of the First Emperor, the concept of great unification has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If Cao Cao could not even eliminate the Six Hebei and Eight Desolations, what would he do to replace the Han Dynasty that had been standing for four hundred years?

Now that Sun Quan has not been able to attack Hefei for a long time, Liu Bei is still far from becoming a climax. The most critical Xiangyang in Jingzhou and Jiangling are still in the hands of Cao's army. As long as he recovers his vitality and takes another step, he can still directly throw the army into the battlefield of Jingzhou through Xiangyang and Jiangling, and once again attack Sun Liu, who is more tenacious than any enemy before, with a stubborn attitude of Mount Tai.

This made him reluctant to give up.

Very reluctant.

"Let's see how Cai Mao first.

If he can really do something, he will be rewarded without hesitation.

Jingzhou...Jingzhou..."

Cao Cao's eyes were quite hot, and he didn't know how to describe this hot land for a while.

I hope Cai Mao did not lie to him this time.

·

Le Jin was worried that Cai Mao would play tricks at first, but he never expected that Cai Mao was really careful and took out the elite naval army he had treasured.

The Jingzhou naval army was competing for thousands of sails, and the army went down the Han River. I saw it and was quite jealous and wanted to board the ship to participate in the battle together.

But he was still pulled by Ma Liang.

Ma Liang said that Le Jin was the lord of Jingzhou and should not be moved without action, as it would be dangerous if it was moved without action.

As a very educated martial artist, what Le Jin should do now is to play chess, drink, and talk with famous scholars in the city every day in Xiangyang. We must not be too obsessed with war. This will make people feel that Le Jin is unfathomable and takes heavy weights as if they are light.

Le Jin was good at following the flow of good deeds, and expressed his acceptance of Ma Liang's advice, everything depends on Cai Mao's performance.

Dangyang is north of Jiangling and is not near the river. At that time, Liu Bei was defeated at Changbanpo outside Dangyang and fled east all night before he ran to the riverside.

Guan Yu has been cruising around Jingcheng on the riverside, preventing Cao's reinforcements from coming ashore from the Han River. The governor of Jingzhou in the Han Dynasty and the general of Zhennan Cai Mao made a quick decision and personally led the army, governor Yunshan, and Cao Pi and his troops led their troops down the Han River and rushed to the Jingcheng area with great momentum. It depends on whether Guan Yu dared to fight against him.

It is said that Guan Yu has tens of thousands of men, but they only have a few hundred ships. They really cannot fight and cannot perform their battles, and they have a great disadvantage.

Seeing that Cai Mao actually led tens of thousands of naval troops, Guan Yu's army saw that the water flow was not in good condition and could not launch a fire attack, so they could only fight and retreat.

Cai Mao laughed loudly. He waved the order flag, and his subordinates shook the sky, Yunshan, and Huo Jun each led a large ship to surround him and acted as if they wanted to eat the entire Guan Yu army. Guan Yu had no choice but to order the generals to run quickly towards Xiakou and give up the defense in the Jingcheng area.

With one move, Cai Mao easily defeated Guan Yu from Juebei Province!

This made the Cao army cheer and thunderous. Guan Ping and Huo Jun and others shouted at General Wan Sheng. Cai Mao was so proud that he looked glorious and his face was full of glory. Although Cao Pi and Cao Zhi didn't like Cai Mao, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I dare to ask the general, why don't we chase him?" Cao Pi felt a little anxious when he saw Guan Yu fleeing far away, so he quickly asked Cai Mao.

Cai Mao said yelling: "General Yun said chasing him or not."

Guan Ping smiled and said:

"General Cai is the governor of Jingzhou, why should I ask me about this? In my opinion, it is okay to pursue it or not.

If General Cai pursues us, we will lead the navy to Xiakou to fight with Guan Yu. If we do not pursue us, we will save Dangyang and meet with Man Boning.

Mr. Zihuan is well versed in military strategies, so I wonder what to teach me?"

The old and the young said nothing, and gently kicked the ball back to Cao Pi's feet, but Cao Pi seemed to be unaware of it, and a hint of complacent appeared on his face.

If it is as Zhongda said.

As long as I can command the army, even Cai Mao, Le Jin has to obediently listen to my orders. I will decide the contribution of this battle.

However, when it was really time to make a decision, Cao Pi was a little hesitant.

If he didn't chase him, he would definitely come again the next day. At that time, he would still harass the rear baggage and cut off the Han River. Moreover, the credit for this report is no greater than that of Zijian's previous report to repel Guan Yu.

If you chase...

Guan Yu had tens of thousands of people under his command, and the Xiakou area was their base camp. There might also be Sun Quan's reinforcements. It seemed difficult to deal with it without a large army. Before, 30,000 sons and uncles went to attack Xiakou, but they suffered a great loss, and were almost wiped out by the entire army.

He had been struggling for a long time, but still gritted his teeth with hatred:

"How about we split the troops?"

Guan Ping raised his thick eyebrows and praised:

"Young Master is indeed very smart. I think this method of dividing troops is excellent."

Cai Mao's face also showed a sudden enlightenment and said in a timely manner:

"What do you think is the best way to do this method?"

Guan Pingdao:

"Young Master Zihuan must have wanted me to lead my troops to chase Guan Yu closely to prevent Guan Yu from returning.

The prince and the envoy Cai entered Xiangyang and joined General Man to suppress the thieves in Jiangling.

This method has a moderate approach to advance and retreat, and it has the aura of a general. It is really powerful!"

Cai Mao also suddenly realized and praised:

"Yes, Guan Yu's men are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, but General Yun's elite soldiers in Shiyang are also quite good.

If Guan Yu dares to lead the crowd to fight hard, his more than 10,000 people will probably lose most of the money. If he doesn't dare to fight hard, how can he cut off the North Road?"

"When the Jiangling thieves heard that our army had arrived, they would inevitably be frightened. By then, the siege of Jiangling will naturally be lifted.

Mr. Zihuan…Uh, Mr. Zihuan should think so, right?"

Cai Mao and Guan Ping stared at Cao Pi's face with curious eyes.

Cao Pi was stunned for a while and slapped his thighs suddenly.

"The two generals are deeply loved by me! They are worthy of being the leader of the Han Dynasty and the pillars of our army!"

Everyone laughed, and Cai Mao immediately ordered the generals to go ashore, leaving only Yunshan, Huo Jun and others continued to search along the river to warn Guan Yu.

When he got ashore, Guan Ping suddenly had an idea:

"Yes, why not ask Mr. Zihuan to write a military newspaper in person."

"Oh? Why is this?" Cai Mao said with a proper support.

"Previously, Mr. Zijian only reported the results of the battle, and the Prime Minister and the Dukes in the court may not believe it.

Mr. Zihuan wrote down the original design method and submitted it first, first to make the Prime Minister feel at ease, and secondly, to let the Prime Minister see the Master's talent in leading the army. When the news of our army's rescue spread, the Prime Minister must applaud the Prince - the Master should think so, right?"

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment and slapped his thighs again. Although he grinned in pain, his face still showed a look of fanaticism:

"Not bad, not bad! That's what it should be!"

Cao Pi had a broad mind and could maintain a good relationship with Chen Lin, who scolded his father, and Jia Xu, who killed his elder brother, so he naturally would not feel bad about Cai Mao. At this moment, he looked horizontally and vertically, and no matter how he looked, he felt that Cai Mao and Yunshan were beautiful and handsome. It was indeed a loyal and kind-hearted Cao family, and he was better than those famous scholars who talked about it every day.

They had clearly expressed their loyalty to me, and it seemed that the battle would be extremely smooth.

Soon after, I will defeat Guan Yu, pacify Jingzhou, and rescue Zixiao’s uncle. Even if my father likes Zijian, he will have to...hum!

"By the way, there is another thing." Cai Mao said, "Youchang is Ji Chang's younger brother. If you are in Tanzhi's army, outsiders may say that Youchang's credit was Tanzhi's intentional distribution of money to him.

It’s better to experience it under the command of Mr. Cao, so that he can learn how to fight and serve the prime minister in the future.”

Guan Yu smiled and said:

"I was just thinking that I often read military books in my childhood, but I just lacked an opportunity to train.

Mr. Cao has been fighting since he was a child, and his military skills are quite old-fashioned. If he advances with young people, it should be a happy event!"

"Cha?" Cao Pi was very happy today, and now he laughed loudly, and he was overjoyed, and then slapped hard on his thighs a few times.

"Okay, okay, okay, with two generals together, why worry about not eliminating the thief, why worry about not being able to accomplish a big thing!"

Cao Pi was excitedly dancing and actually turned his head to look for Ma Su.

Seeing that Cao Pi's temperament was so interesting, Guan Ping couldn't help but shake his head and said softly:

"Young Master Zihuan is also a person of duty. Isn't it good for me to design this way?"

Cai Mao snorted:

"We are also helping him, and he has to thank us!"

Cao Zhi looked at his brother's excited dancing from afar, and suddenly thought of himself not long ago.

When he first came to Jingzhou, he also felt that the heroes in the world were just like this. At that time, he should be the same as Cao Pi now.

The so-called attitude of a famous scholar and the so-called romantic temperament are actually so ridiculous and ignorant in the eyes of outsiders.

Although he didn't know what Cao Pi would face, a thought suddenly arose in Cao Zhi's mind.

This battle is probably not going so smoothly.

Cao Pi will soon follow in his footsteps.
