Chapter 202: Prologue to the Southern Expedition
After continuing to pay attention to the changes in the earth and stars, Chen Xuan retracted his mind, he was already all clear, and at a glance, he showed a trace of disdain, although the power of faith is mysterious, but it is not good at using it, or blindly using it, it is also a major drawback, in Chinese mythology, the power of faith is the power of incense, and incense is poisonous, once used, it will be subject to it for life.
Let them try it themselves, anyway, on the earth and stars, they can't get there, on the land of the Central Plains, there are still many hidden people, the previous blood demon thing, is just one of them, and there are all kinds of others, just see who is more powerful.
Turning back and leaving the small world of the birdman, he looked at the small world of the so-called Olympus gods, in fact, it is almost the same, the body cannot appear in the outside world, otherwise it will inevitably cause the obliteration of the earth star space, don't forget, when he created the earth star, he also laid down the ten star space-time lost array, once he fell into it, he would forever sink into the time and space rebellion, and constantly wear out.
As for the west of the earth star, that is another matter, and it is not intended to interfere with the will of the earth star, if China is not self-reliant, it is also powerless, * with their self-improvement, it can be regarded as a helpless measure, and the meaning is naturally very different.
After thinking about it, he didn't stay long, he turned back to Xiao Qin Village, he still has a lot of things, there is not so much work to accompany them to mess around, even if it is the human race on the earth star, it also needs to rely on its own ability to survive, it is the general trend of heaven and earth, think about the human race on the desolate land at the beginning, it is not the same as relying on his own hands and feet to come out, the current earth star is much safer than at the beginning, all kinds of things are restricted, can ensure the safety of mortals, if it doesn't work again, there is nothing to say.
The northern conquest is also getting faster and faster, after eliminating Yuan Shao's main force, but the non-stop expedition, and Yuan Shao fled back, died in Yecheng the following year, although the foundation was left to the young son Yuan Shang, but it is also a bad species, plus the discord between several brothers, it is not able to form a unification at all, so in just a few years, the foundation has been defeated again and again.
Especially when Cao * attacked Yuan Tan, when he went to the rescue, he was even more defeated, and it can be said that he suffered heavy losses and did not dare to make a move.
In this way, immediately afterwards, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou were successively pacified by Cao *, and then Karasuma was broken, and then the remnants of Yuan Shao's forces were eliminated, and the entire north was unified, and the strength can be said to be the strongest existence among the princes.
It is also the result that Cao * dreamed of, how can he not be happy, and now he has begun to prepare for the southern attack.
And in Xuchang, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the prime minister of the official title of Cao*, announced the matter of the southern expedition, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty naturally agreed.
So the entire northern army began to stir up, the south is a large number of water systems, it needs to be a water army, and it needs to have people who train the water army, and although Cao * knows that someone has been ready for a long time, but in order to show his strength, he doesn't want to use it for the time being, and it is also where he is conceited, as Chen Xuan said, his character has determined success or failure, but what is the result?
In the south, it is now a scene of chaos, as if I want to see the coming of the Hell, and there is no peace at all.
In Xiangyang City, in the Cai family, Cai and Cai Zhong are now meeting in secret, knowing in their hearts that once Cao's army comes, Xiangyang City will definitely not be protected, even if there is a naval army, at least it is not good here, so it is natural to have the meaning of surrender.
"What do you say to do now, Cao's million army is coming, we can't stop it at all, do we want to die here?"
"No, naturally not, since you can't stop it, why not surrender, you must know that Cao's army is a northerner, not accustomed to the water nature of the south, and we just take advantage of this and take it for our own use, which can help Cao's army go south, in this way, we are still glorious and rich, and we don't have to worry about the lack at all, who are you right, it's just this risk, do you say it's worth it?"
"Value, now there is only one way, Liu Biao is about to finish, where is the kung fu to take care of our affairs, but just in case, we still need to be cautious, not careless, right, if you let the people of other families know, it will definitely not give us a chance, especially the people of the shed family, you must not let them know, you should understand what I mean." ”
"This is natural, you must not let them know, you can rest assured, I will do a good job in this matter, and I will definitely not let you down. ”
After the two conspired again, they began to secretly prepare to contact Cao*, wanting to see what the outcome was.
Cao * soon received the Cai family's intention to surrender, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, it seems that even if he doesn't use that trick of dark chess, it should be able to work, but he won't show this meaning, after all, it is also his subordinate soldiers and horses, which have been lurking for a long time, and the role is still huge, and there are many water systems in the south, and he understands in his heart that it will be used sooner or later, so he no longer worries, and he is in a hurry to come.
Although Qin Hai is a sacrificial wine, he is also among the strategists, when he got the news, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, the Taoist chief is really powerful, and he already knows everything, no wonder Gan Ning is lurking, it seems that the intention is here, and his face remains unchanged.
Seeing this, Cao * thought in his heart that he wouldn't be angry, so he comforted and said, "Yourong, what do you think about this?"
"Lord, it is naturally best for the Cai family to take the initiative to surrender, it saves a lot of trouble, but whether it is true or false is to be investigated, even so, we must pay attention to the intrigues and tricks of some people in the south to avoid any secret tricks. Qin Hai told the truth, he didn't bring it up for Gan Ning's matter, and he also acted according to what the Taoist chief said in his heart, and he didn't care about any gain or loss.
When Cao * heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, it was best to think like this, so he said: "This matter, the prime minister will pay attention to it, I believe you will not let me down, okay, now go and prepare, the matter of the southern expedition is very important, and you must not be sloppy." ”
"Yes, Prime Minister. "Everyone else has no objections, it's best to be able to attack, and if you can't attack, you can drag it out.
Liu Biao is still seriously ill, and soon after that, he will die, even if he has a son to inherit, but unfortunately he is also a bad seed.
And Liu Bei took the opportunity to obtain most of the troops, although it appeared that he was taking refuge in Liu Cong, in fact, he had secretly prepared his own way, which can be said to be exhausted, and the most important thing was to invite Zhuge Liang to give him advice, which can be described as extraordinary, thinking that he had gained the general trend and could definitely make a career, but unfortunately the timing was not right, and the people he met were not right.
As Cao*'s army moved south, not far from Xiangyang, the Cai family surrendered to Xiangyang and dedicated Xiangyang City to Cao*, which made everyone in the south scold, but unfortunately it was useless, so they could only move south, and Liu Bei naturally went to Jiangxia.
"Prime Minister, now that the situation is strong against us, it is better to take advantage of the situation to pursue it, and we will definitely be able to defeat Jingzhou. ”
"No, I didn't expect Liu Bei to be so insidious, worthy of being the person who was favored by the prime minister at the beginning, but so what, under such a general trend, it is impossible to leave, Cai He, Cai Zhong, how are you prepared?"
When Cai and Cai Zhong heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Prime Minister Qiqi, we have prepared a naval army, and we can go south at any time to rule the world for the Prime Minister." ”
When Cao * heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, but still said: "As for whether you can occupy the south, it depends on your ability, as long as you can capture the south, this prime minister will never break his word, high-ranking officials are generous, and there is no less, but once you are wrong, you should know." ”
"Yes, Prime Minister, we know in our hearts that we will never mess around and bring the entire family to death. The two said in unison, and their hearts were shocked and completely fell to Cao*, wanting to protect their glory and wealth.
"Very good, then go, use your naval army to attack the prime minister, you need to attack, you must not be soft. ”
After the two of them received the order, they quickly went down and got ready, this is a meritorious performance, how can you not be happy?
As for the others, they are quietly waiting for the prime minister's orders, but they don't dare to act privately.
"Okay, you guys go down too, take a good look at the situation in the south, and then find out the flaws, so as to reduce casualties, this prime minister doesn't want to see it, even if it wins, it will be a miserable victory, I believe you are all smart people, understand what I mean, go down." ”
After hearing this, everyone retreated, wondering how to behave in their hearts, so that they could make themselves more important in the hearts of the lord, but they really couldn't think of any way, so they could only discuss it in private.
Qin Hai was also brought by Cao * this time, the reason is simple, that is, to experience it, by the way, if you have time, you will go home to see, for the time of the Three Kingdoms, 'filial piety' is definitely the first, and it is also a very important point in the future, throughout the entire feudal era.
Looking at the scattered people, he also returned to his tent, fortunately there is Cao Gong, otherwise it is really a little difficult.
Gan Ning found Chen Xuan as soon as possible, told him about it, and then quietly stopped talking.
"Have you started?" Chen Xuan said in a low voice, and then said to Gan Ning: "Don't move yet, Cao * is a very conceited person, if you don't experience failure, you will never believe it, so wait for a while, the time is not far away, you need to be patient, as long as the time comes, Poor Dao will notify you, now be ready, ready to go at any time." ”
"Yes, Dao Chief, Xingba knows. After Gan Ning heard this, he didn't have any opinions, the words of the Taoist chief were holy decrees.
Soon Gan Ning went back and prepared secretly, and at the same time warned everything around, especially for the military on Cao's side, especially after knowing the affairs of Cai and Cai Zhong, he admired Chen Xuan even more, how true, as if he had known it for a long time.
