In the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Cao Jun's army had countless built ships, stern ships, and fighting ships. Along the river, one-third of the hundreds of thousands of troops were on the ships, and two-thirds were on the north bank of the Yangtze River to support them.
On the second day of the army's departure, Cao Cao received the news from his fast horse that Zhao Yan's Qi army was attacked. He was furious and raised his tent. All civil and military personnel gathered in the Chinese army's tent on the shore.
In the middle of the discussion, a man walked in slowly. Everyone saw that this man was no more than five feet tall. He had a pointed forehead, a stiff nose, and exposed teeth. As soon as he entered the camp, he said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am going to leave Yizhou." Driving Zhang Song, I have something to report!"
Cao Cao didn't like others interrupting him and said angrily: "We are talking about military affairs here. What do you want?"
Zhang Song hurriedly said: "The official's seal has been transferred!"
Cao Cao impatiently named someone casually and asked Yang Xiu to handle the matter.
After Yang Xiu took Zhang Song away, Xun You came out and said: "My lord, Zhang Song is an envoy from Yizhou after all, and he has also brought troops and horses to help. It may not be a good thing to treat him lightly."
Cao Cao chuckled, and the crowd stared at Cheng Yu alone. Cheng Yu was startled, afraid that what he had done would be revealed, and took a few steps back.
Cao Cao said: "The envoy from Yizhou brought two thousand soldiers and horses, which is only a force that one captain can have. We only need him Liu Zhang not to rebel during the war, we don't need to ask him for anything. On the contrary, Ma Chao of Xiliang, his father He's already in my capital, but he's still ready to make a move, which makes people irritated."
The generals nodded in agreement. Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Ma Chao from Xiliang were all military leaders who were used to fighting and were extremely fierce. Giving Ma Teng a position as the Nine Ministers would temporarily stop Xiliang, but he still had to Always be on guard against them.
Liu Zhang of Yizhou was different. He was not the first heir to the talented and powerful Liu Yan, but he took possession of Yizhou by mistake. He had a weak character and lacked enterprising spirit. He clearly had a favorable geographical location, but he never dared to attack Liu Biao. He was not a man of success. Therefore, Even his messenger was bullied. This is the principle of good people being bullied.
Cao Cao looked at everyone one by one. Among the crowd, only Jia Xu closed his eyes and remained silent. Among all the staff, he was the only one who disagreed with attacking Sun Liu. However, his repeated advice had no effect, so he stopped saying a word.
Outside the camp, Yang Xiu arrived at Zhang Song's residence, and Zhang Song took out the seal.
In July, Cao Cao's troops invaded Jingzhou. Liu Zhang was determined to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. However, he did not expect that Cao Cao had written a book on him some time ago, accusing him of being a clan member of the Han Dynasty and being indifferent to the Han court. If you don't listen and don't ask, you have a disobedient heart. When things happen here, you will definitely attack them.
Liu Zhang was so frightened that he fell off the couch and quickly sent Zhang Song as envoy to Cao Cao, and also brought two thousand soldiers to support him as a token.
When he came, to prove his sincerity, he also brought the seal of Yizhou Mu. Although the seal of Zhoumu cannot mobilize troops, it can represent Liu Zhang, which shows that Liu Zhang attached great importance to Zhang Song's mission here.
In other words, he had already been scared out of his wits by what happened to Liu Biao, and he was afraid that he would be next, so he quickly tried his best to contact Cao Cao.
However, Zhang Song got up this morning and found that the font on his seal was slightly different, so he hurriedly went to find Cao Cao.
Yang Xiu took the seal in Zhang Song's hand and looked at it. The words "Yizhou Mu Liu" were engraved correctly and there were no mistakes.
Zhang Song said: "Someone has the ability of photographic memory and knows that this seal is not my lord's seal!"
Yang Xiu didn't believe it, so he randomly gave Zhang Song some books to read. Zhang Song read them and actually recited them one by one.
As for other books, Yang Xiu felt that Zhang Song might have read them, but one of them was "The New Book of Meng De" written by Cao Cao and was given to Yang Xiu for proofreading. Zhang Song could not have read it.
He was so impressed that he concentrated on investigating the case.
It didn't take long for Yang Xiu to find out that Song Song was full of bad habits, arrogant, lustful and unruly. When the prime minister was stationed outside Jiangling City, Zhang Song stayed overnight in Jiangling City. Someone sent a beautiful woman to him.
When the truth came to light, Yang Xiu went to find out who sent the beauty, but to his surprise, it was Cheng Yu who was not close to beauty.
Several of Cao Cao's famous counselors were considered decent people. With Yang Xiu's intelligence, how could he not know that something was fishy.
He immediately thought that maybe the Prime Minister asked Cheng Yu to find a way to get Zhang Song's seal.
So he was confident, stopped investigating, turned to Zhang Song, and told him that the seal was Liu Zhang's seal.
"If it doesn't work, let the lord repair Xudu and create another one."
Yang Xiu's conclusion made Zhang Song grit his teeth in anger. Everyone in Cao Ying, except Cheng Yu, neglected him. He scolded everyone in Cao Ying and swore that after returning, he would definitely interfere with it and never interfere with it. Let Liu Zhang form an alliance with Cao Cao.
…
Cao Wu and the others found a room, put away the seal and other items in the package, and put on Yizhou-style clothes.
Ada was still wearing men's clothes, but he just took some plant ash and smeared his face, and strangled his body with a cloth strip, so that he was no longer so ready to show off.
"It doesn't matter if people find out. I've already asked about it. Zhang Song is a womanizer. It's no big deal to take a beautiful woman with him."
Ada asked in confusion: "How did you know that there would be an envoy named Zhang Song?"
Cao Wu smiled and said: "The secret must not be leaked."
There is no way, which child has not expected to have the ability to have a photographic memory, Zhang Song has it, so when he was very young, Cao Wu remembered Zhang Song's mission during the Chibi War very clearly, and he also knew that because of In this matter, his cheap brother burned the "New Book of Meng De" he had just written.
Ah Da sighed and asked again: "The war is in chaos and the news is cut off. How do you conclude that Sun will be in Chaisang? If he is far away in Jingkou, we run to Jingkou. Before anyone arrives, the battle has already begun. Finish the fight!"
Cao Wuyi spread his hands. Ah Da recognized this gesture as a sign of helplessness and sighed: "I'm afraid you learned this in a dream again. I don't know how many secrets you have."
After saying that, he pulled Cao Wu to sit down, took out a small bag from the luggage on the horseback, poured out a dozen things, including pens and powder, and started drawing on Cao Wu's face.
Cao Wuyan glanced at the tools. It can be said that she is a great beauty. She is obviously naturally beautiful and is already first-class, but she still carries a bunch of makeup tools.
Moreover, most of these tools were invented by Cao Wuxian when he was bored in Beifu. Simple things such as eyebrow pencils and eyelash curlers did not exist in this era, but they were easy to make. All he had to do was give the idea to Ah Si. In the next two days, Ah Si will deliver the results with red eyes.
Ada carefully painted on Cao Wu's face, and his bound body was very close.
Zhang Xia pushed open the door and entered. Seeing this, he closed the door and went out.
The four words "You continue" floated in the wind.
Ada didn't think it was anything, but when he said it, his face turned red.
It took a full two-quarters of an hour to put on the makeup. Cao Wu, the handsome young master of the Cao family, had turned into an ugly monster with the head of a deer and the eyes of a rat.
Cao Wu pinched his chin: "Height can't be changed, but few people in Soochow have seen Zhang Song. Well, Gan Ning came from Liu Zhang, so he might have seen him. As for the others, a group of people Jiang Xia has been fighting for eight years as a rat. He knows nothing about the land of Yizhou and Tianfu, and he is worthy of competing with my brother for the world."
Ada ignored his thoughts and went out to call Zhang Xia.
Zhang Xia said honestly: "Is it over already? Let's go."
Ada was immediately restrained by anger. He thought that the more honest and loyal a person was, the more annoying he would be. However, Ada could not blame him yet, so he returned to the room angrily and said: "Cao Wu , Zhang Xia said you were too fast."
Cao Wu:?
…
Another day later, less than ten miles away from Chaisang, a convoy passed by more than ten of them.
Xu Shi saw a group of more than ten people in their uniforms. In the middle of the convoy, a car raised its curtain, and a woman with sharp eyebrows raised her eyebrows to the leader Cao Wudao: "Who are you? Do you want to lead Jia into the city?"
Cao Wule stopped his horse and said, "I have to go to Jingkou of Wu County to see General Sun Tuulu. I will not enter the city."
He kept a careful eye on it and did not reveal his identity or purpose. He only looked at who the person was talking about.
Unexpectedly, the girl burst into laughter and said: "You are quite interesting. You are so ugly, and you still want to see my brother! Don't you know that my brother is Chaisang in front of you, and isn't he in Wu County?"
Cao Wu immediately looked at the girl in surprise and couldn't help but said: "I dare you to ask the girl..."
"Jiangdong Sun's maiden name is Shang Xiang, I am the one!"
