Sima Yi narrowed his eyes, his heart was overjoyed, and secretly said that this Yang Xiu was indeed a person who could be used.

He knows Yang Xiu quite well, this person is extremely smart, but unfortunately he is too conceited after being in a high position, so it is a pity that he died, thinking that Yang Xiu was young and talented, but he was killed by Cao Mengde in his early years, people say that Yang Xiu's death is three things, one is the story of the camp password "chicken ribs", one is the story of "a box of crisps", and the other is the story of "movable type" on the door.

Sima Yi knew that in fact, this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was the issue of political and metallurgical standing. The essence of this team is Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's struggle for power, that is, ten years later, Cao Mengde in order to solve the problem of his heir, issued a crown prince order, which made it clear that Cao Pi, who was the military attache at the time, was the crown prince, and this order was really a few joys and a few sorrows, which meant that Cao Zhi and Cao Pi's multi-year prince dispute came to an end temporarily, Cao Zhi heard this like a bolt from the blue, Cao Zhi knew that he had lost not only the inheritance of the problem, he himself and those who supported him would be persecuted, Yang Xiu was in the list of those who supported Cao Zhi。

Of course, in such a situation, until the end, no one will give up, people fighting for power are always on the road, as the saying goes, the palms of the hands are meat, Cao Mengde in order to comfort Cao Zhi, to him to increase the number of food by 5,000 households, in addition to the previous Cao Zhi owned 5,000 households, equivalent to 10,000 households, but Cao Zhi is at a loss on the issue of fighting for power, often use alcohol to buy drunk to express their emotions, one day he and Yang Xiu drove on the special road that the Son of Heaven and the King of Wei can drive, and also opened a Sima Gate that ordinary people can not pass, these two points caused Cao Mengde to be very dissatisfied。

There is also Yang Xiu's identity, when Yuan Shao and Cao Mengde were friends, Cao Mengde had a good relationship with Yang Xiu, and even planned to reuse Yang Xiu, this is also because of a secret, this Yang Xiu is the nephew of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu!

Later, Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao, and now Yuan Shao's nephew is in his son's camp, and he doesn't know what kind of fame he can make between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, and eliminate the hidden dangers in politics and metallurgy, Cao Mengde chose to kill, Yang Xiu became a victim of politics and metallurgy, and Yang Xiu was not the only victim, and Xun Yun, Kong Jia and other people in Cao Zhi's camp were dealt with later, and Chen Qun and Sima Yi in Cao Pi's camp were promoted and reused.

Such a talent is very ambitious, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself, so Sima Yi planned to take advantage of Yang Xiu, so he invited Yang Xiu to come to the house to drink.

Sima Yi has a wife named Zhang Chunhua, this is a martial arts girl, her strength is superb, very powerful, she let a group of maids play, and Sima Yi said to Yang Xiu: "Now Guo Jia is a big celebrity next to the prime minister, in this case, if you and I want to get ahead, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky......

"What's even more hateful is that Dr. Cheng Yucheng doesn't even approve of me, I worship under him, but he doesn't say a word for me, I have an empty stomach, but I can't vent, it's really sad for me!"

"Alas, it would be good if there was no filial piety, you and I will definitely have smooth sailing......" Sima Yi pretended to be drunk and glanced at Yang Xiu.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Yang Xiu's eyes appeared with a strong color, and Yang Xiu said: "Zhongda, you wake up the person in the dream with a word...... Come on, come on, I'll give you a drink!"

The two of them raised their glasses and drank until the sun set, and when they left, Yang Xiu was already very drunk, and even the jade pendant he was carrying fell on Sima Mansion, Sima Yi picked up the jade pendant, and a poisonous plan immediately came to mind.

......

And in the south, Li Hugo came to Jingzhou with soldiers and horses, at this time Liu Biao learned that Li Hugo was coming, and immediately went out of the city thirty miles to greet him, which can be said to be very affectionate, Liu Bei and his party came to Jingzhou City, soldiers and horses hoarded outside the city, Liu Biao sent 15 days of food, relieved Li Hugo's urgent need.

At this time, in the Jingzhou Hall, Liu Biao sighed and said: "Virtuous nephew, I heard that your father Lu Zhi Cao was beheaded, I deeply sympathize with it, and I am sad and sad, but I didn't expect that my minister of the Han Dynasty would be treated like this......

Li Hugo sighed: "My father's enmity will be rewarded with blood! I only hate my soldiers for being few and women, and I have lost my soldiers along the way." ”

"Lord, in my opinion, this Li Hugo and that Cao Mengde are enemies of life and death, Li Hugo's wife and father were killed by Cao Mengde, and Cao Mengde's confidant died at the hands of Li Hugo, the two have a deep blood feud, I am afraid it cannot be resolved, and now Li Hugo has come to us, he wants to lure Cao Thief to our side, plot against us, and make our Jingzhou the target of Cao Thief's revenge!" Cai Mao stepped forward and said.

For Cai Mao, Li Hugo had long been on guard, and discussed the deal with the military advisor Xun Yu in advance.

It must be known that in the end, Jingzhou was given to Cao Mengde by Cai Mao, and this Cai Mao is famous, and he is the son of Cai Wei, a famous family in Jingzhou.

When Cai Mao surrendered, Cao Mengde asked the Jingzhou army how much money and grain there was today, but he learned that the horse army was 50,000, the infantry army was 150,000, and the naval army was 80,000, a total of 28, the grain and grass were enough for several years, and there were 7,000 warships.

Cai Mao's surrender to Cao Mengde, in fact, was mainly because of the military threat and sense of oppression, Cao Mengde successively broke Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zhan, unified the north that was the core at that time, the strength increased greatly, and the momentum of the soldiers was also booming, Cai Mao and others thought that they couldn't fight, so it was better to surrender.

Secondly, Cao Mengde has slaughtered the city many times, I believe that Cai Mao is still afraid of death, dare not fight, plus Jingzhou has been peaceful for decades, the soldiers have not fought anymore, lack of actual combat experience, and the training in peacetime is also insufficient, and the experienced Cao Mengde army, and the momentum is vigorous, and he knows that there is basically no chance of winning, so it is better to surrender to find a good result.

In terms of pattern, at that time, Cao Mengde welcomed the Son of Heaven and ordered not to be subordinate, which was a banner of justice in morality, Cao Mengde was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and he sent troops to Jingzhou on the order of the Son of Heaven, so nominally, Cai Mao was also a big shorter, and what was the loss of surrendering.

Therefore, Cai Mao is not an ordinary person, he is very wary of Li Hugo at this time, Liu Biao has been sick for many years, I am afraid he will not last long, if Li Hugo usurps the throne at this time, Liu Biao will have no resistance.

At this time, Xun Yu smiled slightly, and Xun Yu came up and said, "General Cai's words are wrong!"
