Chapter 979: Success or failure is all in one fell swoop

"Third brother, Liu Jingzhou is seriously ill, I need to go back to Xiangyang."

Liu Bei didn't expect that Liu Biaohui would lie down now.

When he left last time, although Liu Biao was weak, he still had several years to live.

If it really doesn't work, how can Liu Bei come back to Xinye, even if Xiangyang is dangerous, he has to find a reason to stay.

I thought that I could operate in Xinye for a few years, infiltrate other counties in Jingzhou, win over the Jingzhou family, and recruit some strategists and generals. Grow your wings.

Liu is seriously ill and may die at any time, and Liu Bei must rush back.

As for whether it is dangerous to go to Xiangyang, Liu Bei must go.

Liu Biao's last words, he must be present.

It's about who in Jingzhou will be in charge in the future.

Jingzhou will be Liu Bei's foothold in the future, and Liu Bei must pay attention to it.

If all the rights are held by Cai Mao, if he wants to control Jingzhou in the future, it will take time and energy, and he may not be able to succeed.

"Send someone to inform Liu Qi."

Liu Biao was seriously ill, bedridden, and delirious, although the person who came was Liu Biao's messenger, but this was definitely not from Liu Biao's meaning.

Although he hasn't had much contact with Cai Mao, in the original plan with Liu Biao, Cai Mao was a part of the plan to get rid of.

And the news that Liu Bei is in Jingzhou was revealed by Cai Mao.

Although the two have not met, in their hearts, they have long regarded each other as enemies.

On the day Liu Bei received the news, he immediately left Xinye with Zhang Fei.

In addition, in Puyang, Zhao Hui also received the news. and Cao Cao, who was in Xudu, also received a secret letter from Zhong Xuan.

Compared with what Zhao Hui received, it was only that Liu Biao was seriously ill, and the news received by Cao Cao was more detailed.

Zhong Miao sorted out his conversations with Cai Mao and sent them to Cao Cao together.

So Cao Cao knew that Liu Biao was poisoned by Cai Mao.

Since it was Zhong Xuan's ploy for Cai Mao, it is obvious that Liu Biao is poisoned now, which is more beneficial to Cao Cao.

When Cai Mao killed Liu Bei, if Cai Mao was disobedient, Zhong Miao would shake out this matter and make Cai Mao lose people's hearts.

As soon as Liu Bei died, Jingzhou would fall into Cao Cao's hands.

Cai Mao thought that he had thought so much in the past few days, and it was already foolproof.

didn't know that in fact, everything was already under Zhong Xuan's control.

Zhong Xuan was Cao Cao's person, but he used the strategy that Zhong Xuan gave him.

Even if Zhong Miao only mentioned a few words, the search for and poisoning of the poison in the back were carried out by Cai Mao himself.

If Liu Biao doesn't die, Cai Mao must listen to Zhong Xuan.

Because Zhong Xuan can tell Liu Biao about the matter at any time.

If Liu Biao dies and Cai Mao takes over Jingzhou, then Cai Mao will also be subject to him in the future.

Otherwise, as long as he made the matter of Cai Mao's poisoning of Liu Biao public, Cai Mao would not be able to mix up in Jingzhou.

How will Liu Cong deal with his uncle when the time comes?

Cai Mao was poisoned, and there were several results, Zhong Miao thought more clearly than Cai Mao himself.

In any case, Cao Cao earned it.

Jingzhou, Cai Mao is very calm.

In order to convince Liu Bei, he also sent someone to Jiangxia to inform Liu Qi after two days.

It was a few days later than Liu Bei's side, and when Liu Qi returned to Xiangyang, Liu Bei had already been killed by him, and there was only one Liu Qi left, just send him to Jiangxia casually.

In the future, I am looking for an opportunity to kill Liu Qi to prevent future troubles.

In Cai Mao's thinking, everything is perfect.

He didn't believe it, so Liu Bei wouldn't die.

Although Zhao Hui guessed that Liu Bei would be in danger when he went to Xiangyang, he would not send someone to remind Liu Bei.

Everything in Jingzhou is now developing in a direction that is favorable to Cao Cao.

But for Zhao Huilai, it's not a bad thing.

If Liu Bei died, it would be easier for Zhao Hui to capture Jingzhou in the future.

His eyes are still on Xu Du now.

However, Zhao Hui didn't think that Cai Mao could kill Liu Bei.

Xu Chu and Cao Chun were also unwilling to surrender, and now they have been escorted to Yecheng and imprisoned with Guan Yu and Chen.

"Feng Xiao Zilong, how long will they come back?"

"It'll be there in five days." Jia Xu said.

After all, 80,000 stone of grain and grass were to be sent, and the marching speed was relatively slow.

Zhao Hui said: "Two days later, the army set off. ”

"Lord, aren't you waiting for Feng Xiaozilong to come back?" Xu Shu said.

"No, they arrived in Puyang and asked them to transport the grain and grass to the people."

It has been repaired in Puyang for half a month.

The army had to set off as soon as possible in order to put pressure on Cao Cao.

Continuing to stay in Puyang is just empty of grain and grass.

Although Jingzhou has not yet achieved results, the possibility of joining forces with Cao Cao is already very low.

Even if they join forces, in the case of Liu Biao's serious illness or even death, it is impossible for Jingzhou to send troops to help Cao Cao.

"Okay, I'll go get ready." Xu Shu said.

Now for Zhao Hui, there is only pressure on the transportation of grain and grass.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei were already difficult to threaten Zhao Hui anymore.

It's almost like a mantis arm as a car, and the corner is stubbornly resistant.

As long as Zhao Hui's army reached Xudu, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses would be wiped out in an instant.

……

"Cao Gong, Zhao Hui's army has moved."

"What should come is still coming."

Cheng Yu said: "Gong Cao, then Lu Bu's grain and grass are also about to arrive, do you want to send someone to attack?" ”

Guo Jia and Zhao Yun went to Xuzhou to borrow grain, and they had already been inquired by Cao Cao's people.

It's just that the distance is far away, and there are not many people in Cao Cao's hands now.

But now, the grain and grass that Lu Bu lent to Zhao Hui is almost there, and Zhao Hui has already raised troops again, and it is not with the grain and grass in the rear.

This gives them a chance.

"We are strong and clear, and Zhao Hui's army is already short of food, if we can successfully burn the grain and grass lent to him by Lu Bu this time, the Zhao army will be defeated without a fight." Cheng Yu said.

"Cao Gong, we don't have much time."

Zhao Hui has already sent troops again, and the army will be able to reach Xudu in ten days.

At that time, even if Liu Bei died in Jingzhou, Jingzhou would not have time to send troops to help Cao Cao resist Zhao Hui.

Cao Cao now has to make a decision.

"Where are those grain and grass from Lu Bu now?"

"Back to Cao Gong, he is already in Chenliu." Cheng Yu said.

"Okay, I'll personally lead a team of people this time." Cao Cao said.

"Just send a general to go, why should Cao Gong go in person?" Cheng Yu said worriedly.

Cao Cao said: "Success or failure is all in this move, if you let others go, I will not be willing to lose." ”

"Say no more, if I die, you will come down."

"Cao Gong, we'd rather die than surrender."

"Let's wait for Cao Gong to return victoriously, and then drink and compose poems together."

"Okay." Cao Cao said loudly.

"Everyone, drink this cup with me."

Everyone will fill their glasses and drink them all.

In this prime minister's mansion, they are all Cao Cao's descendants.

This glass of wine is likely to be the last cup they drank with Cao Cao.
