Chapter 1838 Wiping the gun is easy to go off


    Facing Hussar General''s strategy, Cao Cao had a headache.


    There is a saying that when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.


    Cao Cao is staring at Feiqian Ziyuan now, as if staring into the abyss. Cao Cao felt that he was counting Fei Qian, and Fei Qian must also be counting him, so things in Shanyang should not be ignored, but he didn''t have more troops to let go of a line, and only relying on Le Jin And Cao Zhen...


    Although Cao Cao didn''t want to admit it, he also thought in his heart that Le Jin and Cao Zhen might not be able to really stop Fei Qian''s Tai Shici''s actions. Back then, even Cao Cao praised Tai Shici''s battle, but at that time, he was standing on the sidelines, and naturally he shouted without pain in his waist. Now when he finds that he needs to move by himself, his waist will inevitably not have enough strength.


    This time against General Hussars, Cao Cao finally realized a very important problem of his own, that is, he had too few cavalry. Of course, it''s not that Cao Cao didn''t understand before, but because most of the previous battles revolved around the city, such as Fei Qian, who used cavalry to carry out long-distance interspersed, and made a large detour, abandoning the high-level strategy of attacking one city and one place. Mobile combat, basically never encountered.


    So is this combat mode the first of its kind?


    Not necessarily the case. In history, the Hu people went south to invade various places, basically using this kind of plan. The defenders of the city are always somewhat passive, that''s all. Even in later generations, such battles have been repeated countless times. As a farming nation, Huaxia is still difficult to crack without the lack of war horses.


    『Fei Qian, Fei Ziyuan, are you telling me that Jizhou is my weakness? ”Cao Cao muttered to himself, his voice low and inaudible, “That’s right, this is my weakness...weakness...”


    So, if what Xia Houyuan brought to Cao Cao was anger, then what Le Jin brought to Cao Cao was to magnify the uneasiness in his heart again, so that Cao Cao finally made a decision.


    『Come on! ”Cao Cao finally made up his mind, and shouted in a deep voice, “Write a letter to the governor of Youzhou! It is said that if he can recruit three thousand Hu cavalry to go south, he will protect his position as Marquis of Ye!


    You must ride with riding system!


    At least make the threat from the flanks not so great, so that Cao Cao can face Shang Feiqian head-on. Regardless of whether the Taishi Ci mentioned in Shanyang Lejin''s report is true or not, whether those troops are really gone or are hiding, the threat to the Cao army''s flanks still exists. Under the chaos and destruction of the rear wing, especially Jizhou, which has just been recovered not long ago, I am afraid it will explode immediately!


    Now, the only horse output window that has not yet fallen into the hands of the Hussar General is Youzhou. The big man has always had the practice of recruiting Hu Qi to fight. Cao Cao''s decision now is not an excessive move, but it just needs to pay a lot of wealth, which makes the already tight economy even worse.


    But is there any other way?


    Let’s put the distressed and helpless Boss Cao aside for now. In Jingzhou, the turmoil stirred up by Fei Qian is unexpectedly getting worse...


    『Shizi really said that? Cai Mao frowned.


    Shizi, as stated in "Baihutong Jue", "Why is it called Shizi?" It is said that it will last forever. 』So the prince referred to now is naturally Liu Cong. It''s a pity that although the title of Shizi is good, it must be true to be called Shizi, otherwise it is a persimmon.


    Liu Cong thought that he only said the word "fishing" and would not expose his father''s conversation, but Liu Cong was still too young after all, and some things showed a little clue, which was enough to attract the attention of others.


    Liu Biao said fishing, but who was he fishing for? Who is the bait? Who is the fisherman?


    These questions were immediately placed on the table.


    『What does the lord mean, or say that the hussars are fishing, using Zhu and Zhang as bait, stirring up the world, fishing Heluo? Fu Xun said slowly, "The hussars are now in Huliguan, and they are really harmed by the world!" If there is any intention of disobedience, it should be the trouble of a big man! 』


    Cai Mao glanced at Fu Xun, but said nothing.


    For Cai Hao, it is good for the hussars to sit bigger, but the benefits are obviously not as great as Huang''s. Therefore, he neither opposes nor supports Fu Xun''s "hussars threat theory". What is more important for the Cai family is Jingzhou''s basic situation. As for the issue of the world, although it is related, it has nothing to do with it.


    In fact, Fu Xun is still a native of the North, and logically speaking, he should be inclined to the hussars, but the problem is here. Fu Xun is not in the wild now, nor is he under the hussars. How good, what problems will arise? Therefore, Fu Xun generally insisted that although hussars were good, they were a huge threat to the Han court.


    There is naturally no problem in saying this, but then again, isn''t the prince who ceded the land and ruled now a threat to the big man? Isn''t Cao Cao, who holds the emperor in his arms, a threat? So when everyone heard Fu Xun''s words, they were all silent, neither agreeing nor opposing.


    As far as the matter between Zhu and Zhang is concerned, if it is said that the bait thrown by Hussar General Fei Qian, there is indeed a possibility, but the possibility is not too great, after all, there are too many uncontrollable factors , Fishing, the important thing is that there is a fishing rope hooked on the bait. If Zhu and Zhang say it is bait, what about the rope behind Zhu Zhang?


    But unexpectedly, Kuai Yue suddenly followed Fu Xun''s words and said: "Huang Gong has always been impartial, why did he rescue him this time?" 』


    Cai Mao''s eyes burst out with some brilliance, and then hid them again.


    This is what Cai Mao cares about, but Kuai Liang stabbed him directly on the table.


    The Cai family has always believed that Jingzhou is their private land, and Liu Biao is just Cai’s agent. For example, Cai is the chairman of Jingzhou, and the Jingzhou nobles are directors, and Liu Biao is just the general manager. But now it seems that the chairman''s position has been threatened. Although Huang has not stated that he wants to compete for the chairman''s position, he already has such strength, and Huang''s move is enough to prove this problem.


    This is a very serious problem. Changing the general manager is like replacing Liu Biao with Liu Cong. It doesn''t have a big impact on Cai, but if the position of "chairman" under his **** disappears, The impact of this on the Cai family is not the slightest.


    So for Cai, always supporting Liu Cong''s superiority is for this reason.


    As for why Cai couldn’t sit on it by himself, the reason is actually very simple. Looking at Kuai’s performance today, he will naturally understand. Anyway, Liu Biao is also a clan member of the Han family, and Liu Bei always wants to say that he is the Empress of King Jing of Zhongshan, so there is still quite a market among the people.


    Of course, maybe after a while, Mrs. Cai will have some ideas, but no matter what, it won''t happen now.


    This problem, when Cai Mao heard about Huang Zhong''s dispatch, actually popped up in his heart, but Cai Mao didn''t want to reveal this problem, but planned to communicate with Huang Chengyan later, unexpectedly But it was missed by Kuai Yue...


    This made Cai Mao quite uncomfortable, but it was hard to say it out.


    Kuai Yue secretly laughed in his stomach, but his face was serious.


    In the past few years, the Cai family and the Huang family have often joined forces to suppress the Kuai family. Now, hehe, the opportunity has come...


    The Cai family and the Huang family originally joined forces to suppress these other gentry families in Jingzhou. By the way, there is another Pang family who said that he would not participate in Jingzhou affairs, but was still aloof. He simply did not leave much room for other gentry families. In terms of space, if Liu Biao hadn''t consciously supported Kuai, Kuai might have been suppressed and lost his way.


    Now, seeing the gap between Cai and Huang, is there any reason not to pick up the **** and work?


    『The Huang family occupied Wancheng privately without the lord''s permission, and now they violated the lord''s order and attacked Duyang. Kuai Yue talked eloquently, "My lord is a man of great talent, knowing Huang''s evil intentions, and using Zhu and Zhang as bait to expose his plot..."


    Kuai Yue just wants to make trouble, anyway, if Cai and Huang are not separated, then Kuai will have no room to breathe after all! Even if Jingzhou is replaced by someone else, it''s the same! In Kuai Yue''s mind, he felt that since Huang and Pang were so close to General Hussars, why not just move to Guanzhong? Why bother to fight for food with myself in Jingzhou?


    Kuai Yue used to be good at eloquence, but now he uses the topic to play it even more sharply. He almost equated Huang''s move with openly challenging Liu Biao, and the meaning of "fishing" by Liu Biao and Liu Cong was also to make Liu Cong be careful about Huang''s and so on. …


    As for whether Liu Biao thinks so, does it matter?


    Is it family, country and world?


    If you lose your home, what else can you talk about?


    If it was normal time, Kuai Yue would have taken care of it to some extent, but now General Hussars is clearly at odds with Cao Sikong and has no time to take care of him, so if such a good opportunity is missed, wouldn''t it be a lifetime of regret?


    On the other hand, Mr. Pang De is old now, and I heard that he is sick and dying soon, and the head of the Cai family, Lao Cai Xie, has also passed away. Can the friendship between the three of Pang, Huang, and Cai continue to the next generation?


    If this opportunity can be used to expel the forces of Huang and Pang from Jingzhou, then the Cai family will certainly occupy a considerable interest, but similarly, the Kuai family can also absorb more rights through this action!


    Kuai Yue didn''t believe that Cai Mao had no grudges in his heart, and would unconditionally believe and support Huang''s family. As long as Cai Mao''s heart wavered a little, this plan would surely come true!


    Sure enough, after Kuai Yue''s lips and tongue agitated, Cai Mao finally couldn''t hold it back, the gap became even bigger, and said in a deep voice: "The Huang family is deeply rooted, and it is not easy to shake it...not right, not right..."


    Although Cai Hao said no, the information revealed actually made Kuai Yue smile complacently in his heart, but there was still no big change on his face, and he said slowly: "This matter, Yi Ye!" What the Huang family relies on is that the north and the south are clamping down on Jingxiang...Now the Huangjiang River can be adjusted to reach Wancheng in Xia Dynasty...』


    Kuai Yue knew that if he went directly to Wancheng, no one would agree, but if Huang Zu was transferred away from Jiangxia, on the one hand, it would relieve Huang’s situation of one Wancheng and one Jiangxia, and the north-south control threatened Xiangyang. Also immediately vacated the post of Jiangxia prefect. Even though Kuai couldn''t bite off the biggest piece of meat, he could still cut a piece of it...


    At the same time, for Cai Mao, instead of being careful about the Huang family''s north and south directions, it is better to gather the Huang family together. In this way, if one day they really turn against each other, it will be relatively easier to defend , so Kuai Yue is not worried that Cai Mao will not take the bait!


    Cai Mao pondered for a long time without saying a word.


    To be honest, a person like Cai Mao was not a qualified patriarch, but the problem is that he is Cai Xi''s son, if Cai Mao is not the patriarch, who can be? The gentry who are related by blood lineage are like many family businesses in later generations. When they develop to a certain stage, there will always be problems, which are unavoidable in the end.


    Although Cai Hao didn’t say anything right away, he didn’t express anything, but his attitude actually revealed something, just like Liu Cong thought that there was nothing wrong with just saying “fishing”. In the end, the whole situation finally turned in an unexpected direction. I don''t know whether the content of this discussion was intentionally passed on or leaked unintentionally. Huang Zu in Jiangxia expelled the Cai clan members who were originally in the city and expressed his respect for Cai Mao. dissatisfaction.


    Huang Zu himself is a very impulsive person, it is not so strange to act like this now, but to Cai Mao, it is like being slapped on the face, and finally he couldn''t suppress his anger, Bringing people to Jiangxia Xingshi to question the crime...


    Does Cai Mao really want to fight Huang Zu?


    Not necessarily, but after all, they lost their face. For the gentry, face is sometimes very important, so important that they would not hesitate to spill their flesh and blood.


    Therefore, Cai Hao just wanted Huang Zu to bow his head, admit his mistake, and then use this to prove that his Cai family''s status is still the overlord of Jingzhou, and let everyone know that Cai''s reputation cannot be discredited.


    Then the same thing, does Huang Zu also want to fight Cai Mao?


    Not necessarily, but whoever hears that he wants to change his position will feel uncomfortable, especially a violent temper like Huang Zu. If he really does nothing and endures the New Year, he will not be Huang Zu. But if Huang Zu and Cai Mao were to confront each other head-on, Huang Zu was actually not very willing, after all, the whole situation would be irreversible.


    However, what is almost the same is that both parties feel that their own face is very important, and other people''s face is nothing. So for a while, the two sides confronted each other, like a quarrel somewhere, one party shouted that if you don’t do it, you are a grandson, and the other party shouted that you dare to try, anyway, the voices are getting louder than the other, but the hands are never facing backwards. forward.


    But after all, it is easy to misfire. After two days of stalemate, a fire suddenly broke out in Cai Mao''s camp in the middle of the night, and Cai Hao almost burned half of the rear camp by surprise!


    Such an embarrassing scene naturally made Huang Zu feel happy when he saw it, and he climbed to the top of the city and laughed.


    Was this fire set by Huang Zu?


    Cai Mao doesn''t know, and doesn''t need to know. He just knew that if he returned to Xiangyang in such a disheveled manner, he would never be able to raise his head!


    Therefore, Cai Hao was naturally annoyed, and the two sides changed from a war of words to a real fight. For a while, Jiang Xia''s battles rose, and they fought with each other. It was like serving Fei Qian and Cao Cao before the dinner was served. Got appetizers...
