Chapter 143 Pull people
"I heard that Cao Cao was defeated in Sanjiangkou before? Who is the Cao army leading the troops?" It was already early November, and Liu Yi had nothing else to do recently. Twenty siege warships had been made, which was enough to use. Liu Bei asked Chen Dao to secretly choose a hidden water between Fankou and Xiakou to familiarize himself with the operation. Liu Yi mostly spent time in the workshop to build equipment armor. Today he had a rare relaxation and rest, but was attracted by Liu Bei for a meeting. When he heard that Cao's army was defeated on the water, Liu Yi was not too surprised, but he was curious about who Cao Cao sent to fight.
"The Cao bandits named Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and other surrendered generals as the front. In this battle, the Jiangdong Navy defeated the majority with few defeats. Before Cao Cao led the rear, the front was defeated by the Jiangdong Navy at Sanjiangkou. If it weren't for fear of Cao's army's many soldiers, the result of this battle would be even worse." Zhao Yun said with a smile.
"Zilong is right. Zhou Lang is indeed capable. Cao's army went down the river, but Zhou Yu beaten to lose his troops." Zhang Fei nodded.
"This water battle is better than a land battle. Cao's army is not accustomed to water battles. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are usually pampered in Jingzhou. How could they be Zhou Yu's opponent?" Liu Yi was not surprised by this result, but just shook his head and said, "It's just a pity that the Jingxiang surrendered troops."
Zhang Fei frowned and said, "What a pity for those who are asking for honor for their lords?"
"Although these Jingzhou soldiers surrendered to Cao Cao under the leadership of Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, their military morale was not supported. If Cao's army was defeated in the future, they could quickly take these people and horses into their own use in the name of the emperor's uncle and prince." Liu Yi shook his head and said.
"What's the point of being a group of mobs?" Zhang Fei said disdainfully, fighting with more and fleeing with less, and being killed by others. Such soldiers are also a waste of food if they come.
"The morale of the army has not been attached, and Cao Cao regards these people as the front line. I think he must be resentful. In addition, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are incompetent, so he was defeated. If this battle is to blame, he can only blame the generals for being incompetent and exhaust the three armies. If the soldiers of Jingzhou are really so incompetent, how can they block the attack of Jiangdong over the years? Jingzhou will not have a place for us." Liu Yi continued to shake his head. Before this, Cai Mao had always been Liu Biao's military advisor, and he was not the source of the war. As for Zhang Yun... Liu Yi had never heard of his achievements.
"Bo Yuan's statement is indeed reasonable, but Cao Cao cannot trust those Jingxiang soldiers now. Whenever there is a war, he will use Jingxiang soldiers as the front line. What if he does?" Guan Yu frowned slightly and looked at Liu Yi and said.
"This is a dead end. Those Jingxiang generals have surrendered Cao Cao. It is difficult for us to incite these Jingxiang soldiers to rebel. It is just that I don't know if the emperor's uncle has anyone familiar with the Jingxiang army, or can contact him secretly. If he can persuade him to surrender, he will benefit our army." Liu Yi looked at Liu Bei. This is the time to show off Liu Bei's personality charm.
Liu Bei smiled bitterly when he heard this, "The soldiers in Jingzhou are mostly Cai Mao, Zhang Yun's generals, and the Jingxiang clans, and they often join Cao Cao. With these people here, how easy is it to instigate the rebellion?"
"It's always okay, it's always good to try." Liu Yi didn't know Jing Xiang's complicated connections, but he couldn't become the 100,000 troops in Jingzhou. He was all in one mind. If this was the case, he wouldn't be rubbed by Zhou Yu in Sanjiangkou.
As if I had thought of something, Liu Yi looked at everyone and said, "When I was in Xiangyang, I met a general in the mansion of Duke Jingsheng, named Wang Wei. I think this person is quite righteous, I don't know if he can..."
When Liu Bei heard this, he looked at Jian Yong and others, but then shook his head and sighed.
What does shaking your head mean? No?
"That king's power has been killed by the thief Cao." Guan Yu shook his head and said.
"Why is this?" Liu Yi said in surprise.
"On the same day, Cao Cao entered Xiangyang and submitted Liu Cong as the governor of Qingzhou. He ordered people to send Liu Cong and his son to Xuchang, but after they left the city, he ordered people to intercept and kill him. Wang Wei protected Liu Cong and his son at that time." Zhao Yun sighed, "It's indeed a loyal and brave general, but unfortunately..."
When Liu Yi heard this, he mourned Wang Wei for three seconds. The two sides said that there was not much friendship, but Liu Yi felt that this person was a real soldier. It would be a pity for such a person to die.
"Jingzhou general, I only know one. If you think there is any possibility to win over the rest, let's try it. If we have nothing to do now, we have to find something to do." Liu Yi was still a little unwilling to give up. If the Battle of Red Cliffs in the Romance of the True Ruyi and the history of the history ended in a fire, those who were burned to death were basically the soldiers of Jingzhou. If Liu Bei wanted to win Jingzhou in the future, Liu Bei would probably share the resentment, and it would be best to minimize this negative impact.
"Uncle, everyone." Seeing that Liu Bei and others were still hesitating, Liu Yi smiled and said, "It is their business to plan things and to accomplish things. Whether they are willing to come or not is their business. Whether we do it or not is our business. Don't focus on those generals. Even if only three or five hundred people are brought together, it will weaken Cao's army and strengthen us. Even if no one is willing to come, we have made efforts. I don't believe that the generals will refuse to come. The military marquis, army Sima, generals and even team leaders under their command, no one is willing to come. Even if a soldier is brought together, it will be a profit for us. Our army will have more strength, gathering sand into towers and water into trickles. Since we will not suffer any losses, why worry?"
Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard this, nodded and smiled, "What Bo Yuan said is right, so he will do it according to Bo Yuan's wishes."
"Then how should I do this?" Zhang Fei scratched his head and looked at Liu Yi and said.
"Arrow book, the army finds people who are familiar with Cao's army to find opportunities to contact us. The Cao army will use detailed works, and it is not difficult for our army to use it. In addition, the emperor's uncle can help Mr. Qi. When Liu Cong died, he was orthodox in Jingzhou. In his name, he may not be willing to surrender. But one thing is, don't make a big fuss and be careful to attract Cao's army." Finally, Liu Yi instructed that he did not want Jiangxia to become a battlefield. He came here after seeing that Liu Bei's side was stable, and he did not want to backfire.
"Do you want to know Jiangdong?" Liu Bei asked. After all, both sides are all ally, and their actions should be open to each other.
"This..." Liu Yi hesitated and said, "Tell Kong Ming about this, let me see what he said?"
He was not sure whether his plan would disrupt Zhuge Liang's layout. In terms of comprehensive thinking, he was definitely not as good as Zhuge Liang. He still had this self-knowledge.
As for Jiangdong, there is no need. Allies are just because they have common enemies at the moment. Who knows in the future? Moreover, this kind of thing is beneficial to Liu Bei, but for Jiangdong, it has no practical benefits. It is really heart-to-heart... there is no need to mess around.
Liu Bei likes Liu Yi and will give advice, but he will not be blindly confident, nor will he brag about his own power. After all, compared to Liu Yi, Liu Bei trusts Zhuge Liang more in this regard.
"As Bo Yuan said, I will send someone to Chaisang to ask Kong Ming first. All the generals should prepare for each other." Liu Bei looked at the generals and said with a smile.
"Here!" Everyone stood up, bowed to Liu Bei, and then retreated one after another.
"Hi, Bo Yuan, where is it?" Zhang Fei saw Liu Yi running to the workshop again, and quickly stopped him.
"A workshop." Liu Yi turned his head and looked at Zhang Fei.
"Aren't you going to talk about surrender?" Zhang Fei said curiously.
"My acquaintances in Jingzhou, except for the people from Mocheng, are all here. Who do you ask me to lobby?" Liu Yi said with a funny look.
That's right.
Zhang Fei thought about it and felt it made sense. Seeing that Liu Yi was about to leave, he hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Boyuan, do you have the kind of thing that allows others to follow you as soon as you speak?"
Liu Yi's eyes widened and looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Brother Yide, what do you think of me?"
"It's pretty good." Zhang Fei was puzzled.
"I mean, do you think I look like a god?" Liu Yi asked.
"It's not very similar, it's more similar to Kong Ming." Zhang Fei replied honestly.
"Yes, I'm not a god. If I really had that ability, I would have gone to heaven long ago. I'm still thinking about how to deal with Cao Cao every day with you?" Liu Yi said angrily.
Attributes are not omnipotent. If he really has this ability, why should he surrender to Liu Bei? Let's just do it alone. First persuade Liu Bei to surrender, then convince Jiangdong, and then sit with Boss Cao to discuss the world, fool Boss Cao into his own hands, and then the world is unified, the Three Kingdoms end, and his own glorious era is coming, and living a life like a god, how can you suffer this crime?
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to go to the workshop to check out. Liu Bei's two swords must be careful and not broken.
"Wait!" Zhang Fei grabbed Liu Yi, his face was less than a foot away from Liu Yi's face.
"Brother Fei, you step back first. I can't stand your beauty." Liu Yi was afraid that his beard like a steel needle would stab him.
Zhang Fei didn't care whether Brother Fei or Brother Fei. It was not strange that Liu Yi had some new words popping up in his mouth. He grabbed Liu Yi and said, "How is Brother's sword done?"
Liu Yi was stunned by this twist, and then realized that Zhang Fei was pulling himself to accomplish what task, and he was just thinking about the new weapon.
"It's still three days away." Liu Yi said helplessly: "If there is really no war, you will send your snake spear. How about I help you temper it?"
"I still have a piece of meteorite here." Zhang Fei sneaked Liu Yi aside and whispered: "There are still some irons. Can you help me recast a weapon like a dragon?"
Since Zhao Yun got the Glass Finishing Spike, during the past few days of competition, Zhang Fei could clearly feel that the pressure was much greater than before. A good weapon is really important for a general who is known for his bravery. Zhang Fei really wanted one, so he was shameless and endured his heartache to take out a piece of meteorite he had treasured. As for the iron, although it is also expensive, it is still relatively easy to get.
"If you have enough time, you can." Liu Yi did not refuse. The one who has the strongest relationship with him in Liu Bei's camp is probably Changfei. If he can help, he is naturally willing to help. Moreover, the experience he gained is a hundred times higher than that of ordinary weapons.
"Enough!" Zhang Fei grinned and slapped Liu Yi hard and said, "I'll send it to you later."
