Chapter 54 Yunmeng Daze, Recruiting the Water Army (Middle)
It is not easy to appease him, otherwise Cao Cao would have sent his henchmen to go there earlier, how could it be Xiao Yi's turn to go out, so after making proper preparations, Xiao Yi commanded the Xuanjia Army, the trapping camp, the Danyang soldiers, and the evil ghost battalion...... A total of seventy or eighty thousand horses advanced eastward along the river bank and soon reached Yunmengze!
Yunmengze, also known as 'Yunmeng Daze', is the general name of the lakes in the Jiang and Han areas, the north of the river is 'Yunze', the south of the Yangtze River is 'Mengze', Sima Xiangru's "Zixu Fu" records: a radius of 900 miles, among which there are mountains...... Strange species, rare birds and beasts, thousands of scales are full of them, and they are unforgettable!
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the population of the Jianghan region has multiplied, the vegetation has been seriously damaged, and the sediment in the river has been silted, so that the Yunze in the north has been constantly weakening and moving eastward, turning into a large wetland, which is not deep for boats and boats, shallow for cars and horses, and the road is extremely difficult to travel!
On the contrary, Mengze in the south has a low terrain, and the water of the Yangtze River is poured into a large amount, and it accepts four rivers of Hunan, Zi, Yuan and Li, and the water area continues to expand, becoming an 800-mile Dongting Lake, which is also the second largest freshwater lake in China, second only to Poyang Lake!
Yun Ze and Meng Ze were originally sisters, one gradually died out, and the other prospered, and people couldn't help but sigh with the words 'vicissitudes of life', and after Cai Mao and Zhang Yun escaped from Xiangyang, they led Jingzhou's 80,000 sailors and thousands of warships to be stationed in Dongting Lake!
The people and horses came to the north bank of the river, chose the higher terrain, camped by the mountains and rivers, and the camp was very large, the flags were planted all over the day, and the bonfires were more at night, known as the '200,000 army' to the outside world, which was used to deter people's hearts!
Next, Xiao Yi sent a messenger to cross the Yangtze River in a small boat, and entered the Dongting Lake Water Village to meet Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to deliver the news of appeasement.
On the one hand, the four beasts of Jia Xu, Feng Ji, Mi Heng, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, and Hell were summoned...... Dozens of confidants, civil and military, discussed the matter of appeasement, how to proceed!
"I'll see Da Sima - invincible, invincible!"
"Excuse me! --Sit! ”
After a while, everyone came to the Zhongjun tent, and after saluting with fists and sitting down in turn, they either looked sad or bowed their heads in contemplation, and none of them spoke easily, because everyone knew in their hearts that it was too difficult to appease them!
Xiao Yi has been fighting for more than ten years, and he has done a lot of things to ambush, the Battle of Yanzhou - the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, the Battle of Shouchun - the annexation of the soldiers and horses of the big-eared thief, the Battle of Guandu - the surrender of hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops...... It's simple, but it works:
The brigade drove over, surrounded inside and outside, and then disarmed, selected, disrupted, and absorbed...... Who dares to disobey the order, immediately swing the knife and slash it, and kill until he does not dare to resist, he can be dominant, and it is the first time to incorporate the naval army!
Cao Ying's naval army - few people, small boats, poor training, can only transport grain and grass in the river, has never fought on the river, even more depressed, the first crusade against Changsha County, Cao Hong led 20,000 horses, carrying the navy ships across the Yangtze River, the result is a complete defeat!
Not to mention that he was wounded by an arrow and lost most of his men and horses, the navy also let others take it, and the warships and sailors were captured, and only a few small boats escaped, and even the food was not enough, let alone the second manned horse crossing the river!
In other words, if the Jingzhou Navy does not return to obedience, Xiao Yi will not be able to annex it by force, although there are elite soldiers and fierce generals under his command, but he can't cross the Yangtze River, let alone kill Dongting Lake, and the tiger will not be able to reach the land of Shuize, which is far less than a crocodile!
The safest way is to call Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to Jiangbei and negotiate in the Xuanjia Army camp, but with the timid character of the two, I am afraid that they will not dare to take a step out of the water village, let alone cross the river!
For today's plan, the only way to do this is to send a plenipotentiary envoy into the Dongting Lake Water Village, and persuade Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to lead 80,000 sailors to take the initiative to cross the river and return to Shun!
To persuade the other party to submit, it takes both grace and power, and it is easy to say and deterrent, so the matter of lobbying is quite difficult, and among the civil and military henchmen, who can take on this great task?
"The old man was born in Xiliang, and he has seen the grasslands of Saibei, the east wind and snow of Liaodong, and the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains...... I have never seen the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and now that I have a good opportunity, how can I let it go easily?
If Da Sima trusts, the old man is willing to take a trip, and with his incorruptible tongue, he will definitely persuade Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to come to Shun, help the army cross the Yangtze River, and sweep away the rebellion of Changsha County! ”
Jia Xu was the first to stand up and expressed his willingness to be an envoy, don't look at what he said very easily, but the slightly clenched fists proved that the poisoner was not very sure!
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are both greedy villains, and they have 80,000 sailors in their hands, they will definitely use their own soldiers to respect themselves, sit on the ground and raise prices, there is no threat of strong force, and it is difficult to convince the two with only a dexterous tongue!
"Since the army went south, Mr. Wenhe has not adapted to the water and soil, and his body has been very weak, how can he go deep into the Dongting Water Village, or go down and take a trip!"
"Both gentlemen are talented, and they should be strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, this kind of tongue-trickery is what they are good at!"
"The last generals are willing to go, if Cai Mao and Zhang Yun don't return to obedience, they will screw off their heads and kick them as balls!"
………………………………
Feng Ji, Mi Heng, Gao Shun, and Dian Wei have stood up and asked for orders, all of which are to be used as plenipotentiary envoys to appease the Jingzhou naval army, but Xiao Yi's eyes swept several times, and he didn't agree!
There are many talents in the account, some of them are exhausted, some of them are like a river, and some of them are all first-class talents, but there is no suitable candidate for the Dongting Lake Water Village!
Jia Xu is resourceful, but his personality is too dark, he has always liked to hide behind the scenes, although he has done a lot of great things, he has no prestige, plus he is indifferent to fame and fortune, and his official position is also low.
If you send a long history to cross the river, not only will it not be able to deter the Jingzhou navy, but it will cause contempt, and if the appeasement fails, it will be a small matter, in case the other party kills people and kills Liwei, and throws the poison into Dongting Lake to feed the fish, it will be a big loss!
Feng Ji is quite famous, but he is good at strategy, short on eloquence, and his personality is too strong, let him persuade the Jingzhou Navy Army, I'm afraid that between three words, there will be a fierce quarrel, and he is not a suitable candidate!
Mi Heng is a talent for tongue debate, but unfortunately he is used to sore teeth and bad breath, it is no problem to go into battle and scold the enemy, and it is not okay to persuade people to submit, in the original history, he offended the generals of Jingzhou with his words, and let people kill and bury them in Parrot Island, the tragedy should not be repeated!
Gao Shun, Dian Wei, and the four beasts are even more unthinkable, otherwise the matter of appeasement will become a battle!
"Regarding the matter of appeasement, this great Sima has already made a conclusion, you don't have to argue, as long as this person comes out - he must persuade the Jingzhou Navy in a few words!"
"Da Sima has been chosen, who in the camp has this talent?"
"Could it be that I just came out of the mountain, I heard that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Jingzhou area!"
…………………………
It is extremely difficult to appease people, and there must be a person with prestige, officials, means, and scheming to have the possibility of success, so everyone looks at each other, and they are secretly guessing, who has entered the eyes of Da Sima?
I saw Xiao Yi smiling evilly, naughtily raising a finger, turning around in mid-air a few times, and finally pointing...... On my own body, who else can I be careased?
Only the ghost-faced Xiao Lang can deter Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and the 80,000 Jingzhou naval army!
Only when the ghost-faced Xiao Lang goes can he reflect the sincerity of the appeasement and win the hearts of the Jingzhou Navy Army!
Only when the ghost-faced Xiao Lang goes can he surprise the other party, and then grasp the initiative in the negotiation and smoothly promote this matter!
……………………
"Da Sima can't ...... Da Sima thought twice...... Don't take any chances! ”
"I have made up my mind, don't persuade you!"
Hearing that Da Sima was going to go in person, the civil and military officials suddenly set up a nest, and they all tried their best to dissuade them, but Xiao Yi waved his hand slightly, and the big tent was instantly silent!
People know in their hearts that Da Sima is true to his word, and the decisions he makes will never change, since he wants to go to Dongting Lake in person, it is useless to persuade others!
Since it is useless to dissuade, only to strengthen protection, everyone once again suggested that Xiao Yi should bring more personal guards in case something unexpected, Gao Shun even volunteered to take the entire 'trapped camp' to escort Da Sima across the river to appease!
For everyone's kindness, Xiao Yi was very useful, but he didn't accept it, he just selected fifty personal soldiers and let Dian Wei be responsible for leading the team, and the rest were not used!
Xiao Yi understands very well that going to Dongting Lake Water Village and appeasing the 80,000 water troops in Jingzhou this time is tantamount to going deep into the tiger's den in Longtan, whether it is taking 50 people, 500 people, or 5,000 people...... can't change the reality of 'people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat'!
In this case, it is better to only bring fifty people and take care of daily life closely, so that the Jingzhou Navy can take a good look, how is the courage and courage of the ghost-faced Xiao Lang, but it can be more intimidating!
Taking a step back, if there is an accident in the appeasement, when it is really dangerous, it is much easier for fifty people to escape than for five hundred or five thousand!
Of course, Xiao Yi is not stupid, knowing that this trip is dangerous, how can he not be prepared at all, he asked everyone to retreat first, leaving only Jia Xu and Feng Ji to whisper in the back account, and explain a few things to help him succeed!
"Report! - The messenger returned, with a Jingzhou fleet, saying that it was to welcome the envoy across the river and discuss the matter of appeasement! ”
After the matter was arranged, the other party also responded, and after Cai Mao and Zhang Yun discussed, they really didn't dare to come to the north bank of the river, but sent twenty clippers and five hundred sailors to invite Cao Ying's envoy to go, and the leaders were Cai Zhong and Cai He!
"Congratulations to Da Sima - smooth appeasement and triumphant return!"
"Sit down in the camp, and I'll be back in three days!"
