Chapter 87

.Standing in front of the Han Village of Cao Jun, which stretched for hundreds of miles, I looked at the rolling water of the Yangtze River from afar. I saw that there were vast smoke and waves above the river, and there were warships under the Red Cliff. The water villages lined up dozens of miles along the river were majestic, with more than a thousand ships of varying sizes covering the river.

After seeing Zhao Yun off that day, I offered suggestions not to continue chasing them. I first gathered the scattered people together, and after pacifying, some people were sent to escort these people north. Of course, the destination was not the place where they used to live, but Bingzhou thousands of miles away. This migration was just the first step, and a larger migration would happen when people unexpectedly in the future.

The Cao army did not chase Liu Bei, and the black-faced man who was squatting alone on Changban Bridge naturally had no chance to make a brilliant feat of scaring away tens of thousands of Cao troops with one shout.

After the army set up camp on the Yangtze River, the shortcomings of the Cao army were revealed. Most of the soldiers in the north were landslides, and even those who could water were just by the river and could slap in the pond. In addition, the unacceptable land and land situation caused the soldiers to lose non-combat troops, forcing Cao Cao, who wanted to rush across the Yangtze River and eliminate Sun Quan's power, had to station troops on the riverside for a while.

Soon after, news came from a detailed report that Sun Quan, who was unwilling to surrender, and Liu Bei, who fled to Jiangxia, quickly reached an agreement to jointly fight against Cao. Zhuge Liang went to Jiangdong for Liu Bei's plenipotentiary representative and hostages.

The early morning air with the warm and humid smell of the river water makes people feel energetic. The classic battle of Chibi that had made many people dream of in his previous life was about to start. I also did it to help Cao Cao fight this battle and do two things and he will retire. When I thought of using my half-baked historical knowledge to bully Zhuge Liang, my idol in my previous life, I couldn't help but laugh lewdly.

Other people's officials are getting bigger and bigger, while my officials are getting smaller and smaller. The deputy prime minister who gave him was rejected by the free prime minister, and the leisurely prime minister stopped sacrificing wine. After several years in the Ministry of Works, he automatically applied for resignation when the industrial form in the north was in great condition. Then he asked for a famous naval commander's office to live in Xudu remotely command the naval affairs on the beach of Qingzhou.

I have made a lot of money in recent years, but... my life is hard-earned! In addition to paying a lot of taxes to the treasury, I have subsidized the rest for the construction of large sea ships. I said that I borrowed the navy army to me in a few years... Alas! This navy army was clearly made bit by bit by bit by bit myself!

Just as I was sighing, Jia Xu came to me with an unpleasant look on his face and said bluntly: "I finally found you, the prodigal son!"

After Liu Cong, the son of Liu Biao, surrendered, Cao Cao left Jia Xu in Xiangyang to calm the hearts of the people. It made me feel very strange that he appeared here. After throwing a small stone he picked up by the river just now into the water, I asked, "Brother Wenhe is not in Xiangyang, why are you going to the army to do? Could it be that Brother Wenhe still wants to go into battle and not fight?"

Jia Xu was very angry when he saw that I was indifferent. He stepped in front of me and pointed at my nose and asked, "You are in vain and you promised to do everything you can! Didn't you realize that the Prime Minister is in danger?" After that, he stomped his feet hard! Jia Xu is not like this usually, it seems that he is really anxious.

I reached out and took off the feather fan inserted on the collar of my clothes. I used the fan to push Jia Xu's hand away and pointed at the water village that was invisible and said, "There is a great form now! Why should Wenhe exclaim? "

"I'm exaggerating!" Jia Xu said angrily: "How did you answer me when you pursue Liu Bei?"

I pretended to be confused and said, "What's the reply to you?"

Jia Xu said, "I said to the lord that day: Ming Gong once defeated Yuan's family, and now he is famous in the south of Han. His military power is great. If you take advantage of the old Chu to enjoy the officials and soldiers, comfort the people, and make peace and prosperity for the people, you will not be able to work hard and Jiangdong will be subdued."

I nodded repeatedly and said, "It's like this for a while! But the lord just got Jingzhou without bloodshed, and his momentum was in full swing and did not listen to Wenhe's dissuasion."

Jia Xu clenched his fists and said, "Although the lord did not listen to my dissuasion at that time, he never said that he had to cross the Yangtze River. You also said that my strategy was the best strategy! It made Jia think you would make an opportunity to make suggestions. But not only did you not dissuasion, but also encouraged your lord to hold troops here. Why? Don't you know that our army is not superior to military strength?"

I said in confusion: "Although half of our elite troops stayed in the north to fight against the Xiongnu, the Prime Minister has recruited the city defense forces of Qing, Xu and Yan as a supplement, with a total of more than 400,000 troops. This time, more than 200,000 Jingzhou soldiers were responsible for their success, and they are known as one million people. However, the Sun family's water and land armies in Jiangdong only have 200,000. The natural danger of the Yangtze River they rely on is no longer afraid. How can we say that the troops are not superior?"

Jia Xu said: "Do you really don't know or are you pretending to be confused about me? Our army's elite equipment is the soldiers from the north. There are many people who are unacceptable to the local conditions when they first came here. The army is full of diseases, but the most headache is the surrendered 200,000 Jingzhou soldiers. Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou for many years and has spread the kindness in the village. Although he is lost, his remaining power is still there. Now we have killed Liu Cong again. The soldiers in Jingzhou are not only unable to help, but they are afraid that they will change if there is any slight disturbance... In this way, we have to restrain our army..."

"Stop...stop...stop!" I widened my eyes and said, "Killing Liu Cong is the idea Wen and you have given for the Prime Minister! How can you blame me now?"

Jia Xu was also stunned. After I said this, I remembered that killing Liu Cong was really his suggestion, but I remembered that Jia Xu was even more inspiring. He shouted: "For many years, although the Prime Minister liked to use strange weapons when using troops, he always had a steady and steady strategy. If it were in the past, after conquering Jingzhou, he would definitely take two to three years to regain the hearts of the people and rectify the local internal affairs and military affairs. If Liu Cong was not killed, it would inevitably cause trouble for the lord! ... I would think that the Prime Minister would suddenly change his previous practice after he got Jingzhou and attack Jiangdong in a hurry?! If he knew that the lord wanted to attack Jiangdong! It would be justified to escort Liu Cong to Xudu for house arrest, then he would have taken his life in such a hurry!"

He showed off a look of how you could do me, and I said, "I should have killed you if you shouldn't have killed you, and I should have beaten you if you shouldn't have hit you! It's all right!"

"Leave it to the will?" Jia Xu shook his head and said, "If it were left to the will, you, I, and the Prime Minister, would probably die here!"

Jia Xu said this and reminded me. I smiled and said, "Wenhe, why should I pretend to be so anxious? Do you think you can hide it from me? If you are in danger of death, will you run here from a safe place in the rear to die?"

"I know I can't hide it from you!" Jia Xu chuckled when he saw me so easily: "I just wondered how could I not see through this victory with Fengxiao's talent and defeat more. So I found an excuse to talk to you in person."

I said, "What do you want to talk about by Brother Wen?"

Pointing at the listless Jingzhou soldiers who happened to pass by not far away, Jia Xu said: "The 200,000 soldiers in Jingzhou are mostly those who care about the Han Dynasty under the influence of Liu Biao. They should try to take some precautions. Otherwise, even if this battle is not unexpected, if... if it is the lord who replaces it... there will inevitably be changes!"

I nodded and said, "I have mentioned this to my lord, but it depends on my lord's meaning that I have made a decision."

"There is another thing!" Jia Xu said: "I want to talk to Fengxiao about Cai Mao and Zhang Yun!"

"Oh! What's wrong with them?"

Jia Xu said: "After Liu Cong's death, these two were led by the old ministers in Jingzhou, and they also had more than 100,000 naval troops in Jingzhou. Nowadays, many of our soldiers were infected with diseases and their combat power was sharply reduced. It was no longer enough to intimidate them. It would be better to remove them as soon as possible. So I would like to ask Fengxiao to imitate Xu You that day. Find an excuse to remove them!"

Still use me as a bad guy? The battle the day before yesterday was unfavorable. Yesterday, Jiang Gan had already taken a lot of money to cross the river to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender. The letter placed in Zhou Yu's tent should have now reached Jiang Gan's arms.

Looking at Jia Xu's serious expression, I couldn't help but want to buy it and said, "Wenhe Ke knows why the Prime Minister gathered in the house yesterday to discuss the matter?"

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "I heard that the first battle the day before yesterday was unfavorable. Yesterday's discussion must be about how to break through Zhou Yu's army on the other side."

I smiled and said, "Although I was hit, I didn't hit it all!"

Jia Xu said: "I heard it details!"

I pointed to the Dishui Village on the shore and said, "Wenhe see how this water camp is?"

Jia Xu said: "Although I don't have water battles, I can also see that this water village has both offensive and defense, with large ships living outside as cities. Small ships living inside can lead to travel. Even if foreign wars are not conducive to being attacked by people, they can be annihilated in the camp."

I said, "This village comes from Cai and Zhang!"

Jia Xu said: "These two have some tricks."

I sneered: "It's a pity that these two people have only these methods!"

"Oh? Did the Prime Minister of the Deliberate attack them yesterday?"

I said half-truely: "Although the lord didn't blame them yesterday, I think Cai Mao and Zhang Yun won't live long. As for excuses, there is no need to make excuses. In less than half a day, someone will naturally provide a great excuse to the Prime Minister!"

Jia Xu looked at me in confusion and didn't ask much. He thought he was already used to my tricks.

I said, "It's rare to have half a day of leisure. How about fishing by the river?"

Jia Xu mocked, "You still have to take a break, and who in the world doesn't know that you are a leisurely person? For this matter, Chen Qun repeatedly told the lord, but you didn't know how to restrain yourself."

"Let him sue it! It's not good if no one complains to me in front of his lord. I'm begging for Chen Qun to do this!" He put two small stools on the river and then took the fishing rod. I put the bait on the hook and said, "I've been suffocated to death after I let me be serious! Besides... Isn't this the same effect as Wenhe and not interacting with others at home?"

Jia Xu held a fishing rod and said, "I am different from Fengxiao! Although you and I were born in troubled times, Fengxiao was just a mess! And Jia's hometown is Wuwei in the remote Xiliang. Not only are robbers rampant, but natural disasters are constantly coming. There are often robbers. There are no guarantees of human life and property, let alone benevolence, morality. If a person wants to survive, he must learn to protect himself. The first thing Jia learned since childhood is how to protect himself without worries about his life. Moreover, for the prime minister, I am a surrendered minister. Although the lord does not abandon his entrusted important tasks, people must have the reputation of knowing themselves. Since I am not willing to waste my talents and learn to participate in this game of chess that dominate the world, then just do your own thing. As for interacting with others!... How many people in this world are worthy of Jia's interactions with him?"

After hearing Jia Xu's conceited words, I couldn't help laughing: "It's a pity that Brother Wenhe's strategy is just to focus on how to survive! But it is precisely because Brother Wenhe always regards the survival of himself and the people around him as the first priority. There are no other so-called ritual constraints, which allows Wenhe to show his strategic talent. It is in this freedom that Wenhe's strategy can reach the ultimate state of conservative change. It is comparable to those of extraordinary people!"

Jia Xu shook his head and sighed: "Jia Xu was guilty of the world for his own selfishness. A small number of Han Dynasty's rulers for hundreds of years have been ruined in my hands! Alas... I'm afraid I will bear the eternal infamy in the future!"

"The infamous name for all ages! Haha!" I laughed loudly, "Brother Wen and I look down on myself too highly! You and me are just a topic of entertainment for future generations after dinner after a thousand years! Even if someone stands up and curses a few words, someone will come out to justify what we have done."

Jia Xu looked at the fish floats on the river, which was undulating with the river, silently, as if he was thinking, and as if he was dazed.

Suddenly, a light boat came along the coast, and someone shouted on the boat: "Is the person on the shore Mr. Guo Jia and Guo?"

Gao Shun greeted him and shouted, "That's right!"

"The lord has an order! Please come to the Central Army to discuss matters."

I said to Jia Xu, "Hey! I'm so busy! I've come to you before I catch a fish, and you're here to find it. Do you still dare to say that I'm the lazyest person in the world?"

I didn't catch a fish, but the reason was not that the time was too short, but that my fishing level was really bad enough. After the fish bit the hook, it was either lifting the rod too early or too late... So Jia Xu was stunned.
