Chapter 200
Zhang Song was sent as an envoy to make friends with Cao Cao, and the matter was decided.
Fa Zheng came out of the Assassin's Mansion and immediately gave Zhang Song a look, Zhang Song immediately understood, lowered his body and said, "Xiaozhi, come to my mansion in a while." "
Fa Zheng nodded slightly, and the two immediately parted ways.
Sitting on the carriage, Fa Zheng asked the coachman to slow down, went around in a circle, and then went to Zhang Song's mansion.
Zhang Song had already instructed the servants to wait, and when he saw Fa Zheng coming, he immediately took him to the study.
"Filial piety and sit quickly. "
Zhang Song greeted Fa Zheng very warmly, he was ugly, and when others saw him, they often showed disdain, Fa Zheng was one of his few friends.
After Fa Zheng sat down, he spoke directly: "Ziqiao, what were you thinking about just now?"
In front of Liu Zhang before, Zhang Song lowered his head slightly, his mental activities were extremely obscure, and almost no one noticed him, but Fa Zheng had known him for a long time, and he was a smart person, so he could see a little bit at a glance.
But it was seen by filial piety. "
Zhang Song smiled slightly and said: "Liu Zhang, this person is weak and incompetent, has no ambition to dominate the world, just wants to guard a Shu land, even Zhang Lu can't deal with it, sooner or later it will be swallowed up by others, we should have a way out as soon as possible." "
Fa Zheng sighed and said: "Ziqiao, what you said is very right, Zhang Lu seems to be very strong, in fact, he can bully Liu Zhang, if you look at the world, he is just a clown." If there is a male lord in Shu, why not be afraid of a single Zhang Lu, relying on the richness of the country of abundance, he would have raised troops to the north to destroy it. "
Zhang Song nodded and said: "Now that Cao Ping has set the north, the land of the world, he already has five or six out of ten, and now he is leading the army south, aiming to sweep the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, I think Liu Jue and Sun Quan can't stop it, I want to take this opportunity to show my heart to Cao Gong." "
Fa Zheng heard Zhang Song's words, but he didn't agree with it very much, Liu Jue gave up Xiangfan in vain, in the eyes of others, he was afraid of Cao Cao, but he understood in his heart that Liu Jue was advancing by retreating.
If Liu Jue resists Cao Cao in Xiangfan, even if he can block it, his strength will be greatly damaged, and when Jiangdong raises troops to attack Jingzhou, it will be the time to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
And giving up Xiangfan and retreating to the Yangtze River, but he was able to drag Jiangdong in, and the two joined forces to deal with Cao Cao, so that the odds of victory were much greater, and Fa Zheng also applauded Liu Jue's decision in his heart.
Fa Zheng said solemnly: "It seems that Ziqiao's heart has also made a decision, I am not doing anything here with Liu Zhang, who is oppressed by others, it is better to conspire with Ziqiao and find a master to assist together." "
Fa Zheng is conceited to learn people, and he has the strategy of war, not only is he not reused, but he is oppressed by others, and he has long been resentful, if he can be reused by the Lord, it only takes a year or two, and his situation will be greatly improved.
Zhang Song nodded and said with a smile: "That's what I mean, filial piety can be the same as I think, I'm so happy, but at this time we have to be careful, in case Liu Zhang knows, our lives will not be guaranteed." "
"I naturally understand this, but I have a little suggestion, Ziqiao went to meet Cao Gong this time, don't be in a hurry to show your mind, and observe for a while before talking. Fa Zheng reminded.
"Observe for a while?" Zhang Song frowned and said: "Now that Cao Gong's army is in full swing, sweeping Jiangnan is just around the corner, do you think Liu Jue and Sun Quan have a chance of winning." "
Fa Zheng said meaningfully: "Now that the double-shot war has not started, it is not yet known who will win and who will lose, Cao Gong seems to be strong, and it may not be a sure victory." "
"I remember your words. Zhang Song nodded, doubting in his heart, although he has some talent, but in terms of vision, he is still not as good as Fazheng.
......
Jiangling, this important city has been owned by Cao Cao.
At this time, Cao Cao came to Jiangling, including the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, the Su Guard army led by Xu Chu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others in Wenchen, and Xu Huang, Man Chong, Ren Jun, Cai Mao and others in generals
The army totaled 100,000, including Cai Mao's 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers, which was the Western Route Corps.
Yu Ban, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Lejin, Lu Zhao, Zhu Ling, and Feng Kai temporarily stayed in the Xiangfan area, with about 100,000 people, and they were the North Road Corps.
After Cao Cao considered it carefully, he took Zhao Yan, the chief bookkeeper, as the capital governor and guarded the army, and coordinated the generals of the North Road.
After Cao Cao came to the generals, he saw that the money and grain in the city had been emptied by Liu Jue, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but fortunately, there were still more than 500 warships.
In fact, Cao Cao didn't know that these more than 500 warships were deliberately left behind by Liu Jue, if he really wanted to move away, where would it be Cao Cao's turn.
Originally, Cao Cao was ready to fight a vicious battle this time, and who knew that he would successfully take Xiangfan without spending a single soldier.
Cao Cao was naturally extremely happy in his heart, and then he looked back and understood Liu Jue's intention to do this, and couldn't help but sigh that this person was really cunning.
At this time, Cao Cao occupied Nanjun and had achieved the lowest strategic goal, all of which went too smoothly, with no losses in troops, and an increase in combat power, obtaining Cai Mao's Jingzhou naval army and nearly two thousand warships.
Cao Cao has been in the north all the year round, and he is also not familiar with water warfare, and he is of course happy to see that Cai Mao's naval army is much better trained than himself.
How did Cao Cao know that Cai Mao's navy was no different from waste in the eyes of Liu Jue and Sun Quan.
At this time, although Cao Cao did not get Jiangling's money and grain as in history, Cai Mao and other Jingxiang soldiers still took the initiative to contribute a batch of grain.
At this time, Cao Cao's appetite was even greater, and it seemed that sweeping Jiangnan in one fell swoop was also a matter of time and time.
After taking Jiangling, Cao Cao looked at the south bank of the Yangtze River, and could faintly see some water villages, knowing that at this time on the opposite bank, Liu Jue must have a heavy army.
If he crossed the river directly from Jiangling and attacked the public security, not only would the success rate be very small, but even if he was defeated, it would not be cost-effective for Cao Cao.
At this time, Cao Cao thought in his heart that once he crossed the Yangtze River, he would pinch Liu Jue and Sun Quan's seven inches at the same time, so that these two people would have no power to fight back.
Therefore, in the past few days, Cao Cao pondered on the map every day, and discussed with Cheng Yu, Xun You and others, and finally let him come up with a perfect plan.
At this time, Cao Cao's gaze first fell on Xiakou, and then on Chai Sang, and then he shook his hand and laughed: "The world has been decided!"
