Under the bright moonlight, Liu Bei opened Zhao Yun's letter.
He was filled with anticipation when he saw Zhao Yun return with his wife and children.
However, when he opened the letter and saw the contents, his face turned ashen and he tore Zhao Yun's letter into pieces in anger.
"Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun betrayed his master and fled to Cao Cao's camp! Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun, I always thought you were a loyal person. I didn't expect you to be a coward!”
Although Zhao Yun's letter clearly stated the reason why he went to Xuchang, in Liu Bei's opinion, Zhao Yun had defected to Cao Cao.
Regarding Madam Mo and Ah Dou's situation, there was not a single word in the letter.
Could it be that his wife and children had already met with misfortune?
The river flowed east, and the river surged.
Liu Bei was filled with unprecedented grief and indignation.”
Under the bright moonlight, in the quiet garden of Fan City, Chen Fan felt a little awkward. Who knew that the sound of giggling would be Madam Mei?
The sound of water splashing down…
Madam Mei felt the exhaustion she had been feeling for the past few days vanish into thin air…
There were a few buckets in the small courtyard. The water that had been dried for a day was extremely warm.
She did not expect that she would not encounter any hardships after entering Cao Cao's camp, and that little mister was clearly not Cao Cao's man…
Although he treated people coldly, he did not have the intention to hurt her, nor did he have the intention to hurt her…
How lucky was he to be able to meet such a good person even in prison?
The sound of splashing water could be heard again. Madam Mei had already given Chen Fan a good person card.
At this moment, she suddenly cried out in alarm…Her face turned pale…
The clothes in her hands were wrapped in front of her. The moonlight was bright, but it paled in comparison to Madam Mei.
"Sorry, I didn't know it was you…"
Chen Fan returned to his bedroom. Madam Mei wiped the water off in shame, put on her dress, and went back to her room to rest. This time, she even had to sleep with her clothes on.
……
The next day.
The sun was shining brightly, and the morning sun shone through the window. Chen Fan smelled the fragrance of rice porridge.
After he got up, he looked out from the window.
Mei Zhen had already changed into a clean set of clothes. After her bath yesterday, she had regained her energy…
She was one of the beauties of the Three Kingdoms and was ranked on the Mei Zhen List. Although she was not even twenty years old, she had both the looks of a young girl and the charm of a young woman.
Madam Mo didn't want to think about what had happened yesterday. It was just an accident. After all, they were connected by fate, so it was inevitable that there would be such awkwardness.
……
After eating a bowl of porridge, Chen Fan thought about the Jing State and the East Wu. Boss Cao had conquered the Jing State and would train the navy for three months. Once the navy was completed in three months, he would attack the East Wu…
However, Cao Cao would never have thought that Zhou Yu of the Eastern Wu would take the initiative to attack and use fire to defeat the enemy with fewer people and win the Battle of Red Cliff…
With the Dongwu navy attacking Cao Cao…
This was a risky move that no one would have thought of. However, Zhou Yu had chosen to take a risky move and won the entire game!
……
Jingzhou, Fancheng, inside the prefect's mansion.
Perhaps it was because he had been through too much last night, Cao Cao was still in bed.
Today, Boss Cao's interest was waning!
Because soon, Jing Province would completely and rightfully fall into his hands.
In reality, when he had listened to Xu Chu's suggestion to let Cai Mao take down Jiangxia, the entire Jingzhou had already fallen under his control.
As the saying goes, if you don't do it right, you won't be able to do it. Boss Cao was also a person who cared about his face. He still had to pay attention to what he should pay attention to!
After washing up, Cao Ah Man changed his clothes and went out under the care of the wife who had warmed his bed yesterday!
In the great hall of the prefect's mansion,
Counselors on the left, civil officials on the right.
The main seat is empty, and the prime minister has not yet arrived.
Outside the hall.
The people of the Jing State were gathered around a child who looked to be only eight or nine years old. He was the nominal ruler of the Jing State.
The young Liu Zong was pulled by a beautiful woman in her thirties. She was Liu Biao's concubine, Lady Cai.
Today, they had formally requested to surrender. The people of Jing State had originally felt at ease. After all, they had surrendered without a fight and offered the entire Jing State to Cao Cao.
However, as time passed, Cao Cao did not appear to accept the surrender. Gradually, they began to feel uneasy.
When Cao Cao appeared in a luxurious robe and a golden crown, the officials in the hall heaved a sigh of relief.
If Cao Cao didn't come today, everyone in Jing State would have been killed.
After all, Boss Cao had massacred a city before…
"My lord!"
The strategist cupped his hands, and the battle general cupped his fists.
Boss Cao sat down leisurely and waved his hand.""Let them in."
Immediately, a general came out of the hall to pass on the message. Everyone in the Jing State heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly entered the hall.
Cao Cao sat high up in the hall and saw a child at the front of the Jing State army walking forward in fear.
On the left was a woman in her thirties. She was very charming and was naturally Liu Zong's mother.
Boss Cao's eyes were a little strange. This Madam Cai was quite to his liking.
When they entered the city, Cao Cao heard that Lady Cai was only in her thirties and was full of charm.
When Liu Biao was young, he was also a hero of his generation. He rode alone to conquer Jingzhou and became a legend.
Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Yuan Chao, and so on.
Boss Cao was psychologically interested in these heroes, but physically, he was more interested in their wives.
The people in the city even said that Liu Biao was old, but his death was definitely related to Lady Cai…
When Cao Cao first entered the city, he wanted to do what happened in Wan City.
However, he was stopped by Jia Xu, the culprit of the Wan City disaster.
Jia Xu said,"My lord has just entered Fancheng, and you already want to do this. Have you forgotten the disaster in Wancheng that day?”
"In the past, Zhang Xiu sincerely sought refuge, but was humiliated by the lord. In a fit of anger, that night's disaster occurred.”
"Now that the people of Jingzhou are sincerely surrendering, my lord must not do this!”
"Besides, Liu Biao is dead, and the real person in charge of Jingzhou is Cai Mao. The Cai family, and Lady Cai is a member of the Cai family…"
Therefore,
Cao Cao suppressed his restless heart and accepted another Jingzhou wife to warm his bed.
Boss Cao shifted his gaze away from Madam Cai and looked at Liu Zong.
In the next instant,
"Greetings, Prime Minister!" Everyone knelt down.
Liu Zong raised the tax book and seal above his head with both hands. Then, his tender voice sounded in the hall,"This is the Jing State's General Revenue Book and the Jing State Pastor Seal. Liu Zong is willing to give the nine counties to the Prime Minister!”
Chen Qun stepped forward and took the tax book and the seal, placing them in front of Cao Cao's table.
Jingzhou surrendered!
Ever since Cao Cao did not attack Jingzhou, it was Jingzhou that surrendered. It was Jingzhou's ruler, Liu Zong, who personally handed over the tax collection book and Mu Shou Seal!
You're right and your words are right!
However, Cao Aman only glanced at the tax book and seal. These things were just in name.
Jingzhou is fertile land, strong soldiers and strong horses occupy it!
Suddenly, Cao Cao's expression turned solemn as he looked at Cai Mao.
After Liu Biao's death, Cai Mao, who was born into a Jing State aristocratic family, was the one in charge.
" Jing State, 280,000 troops…" Cao Cao's eyes gleamed as he criticized.
"More than 7,000 warships!"
He waved his sleeves and said,"Just the money and food from all over are enough for our army to use for a year!”
"Such a powerful force…"
As he spoke, Cao Aman narrowed his eyes and leaned forward. He pointed at Cai Mao and asked in a threatening tone,""General, why did you surrender without fighting?"
Cai Mao, who was kneeling on the ground, was terrified…
Boss Cao hated that Liu Jingsheng was not worthy!
Back then, Liu Jingsheng rode into Jingzhou alone and captured nine counties. How high-spirited he was.
Strong soldiers, strong horses, vast land, many people! This was Jing Province!
Although the old Liu Biao lacked courage, he was still able to defend his territory and did not lose a city or land.
Unexpectedly, just as Old Liu passed away, the huge family business was directly handed over to his youngest son, concubine, and brother-in-law…
He probably wouldn't be able to rest in peace even in the netherworld!
Boss Cao, who stood on the moral high ground, had taken advantage of the situation and was still pretending to be good, causing everyone in Jing State to be terrified.
Cai Mao did not dare to lower his head. He said in a trembling voice,"How dare the soldiers of Jingzhou resist the mighty army of the Prime Minister?"”
"Prime Minister, your wisdom is unparalleled!"
"Use soldiers like gods and win every battle!"
"The Prime Minister is the current…"
"Alright." Cai Mao was halfway through his flattery when he was interrupted by the impatient Boss Cao. Cao Cao said affectionately,"I confer upon you the title of Marquis Zhennan and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.”
"Zhang Yun, Deputy Commander of the Navy.”
"The two of you have to train the navy carefully and wait for orders…"
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun stood up and cupped their hands."Thank you, Prime Minister!"
"Liu Zong!" Cao Aman pulled a long face and started to scare the child.
"Why are you crying when I appoint you as the governor of Qingzhou?”
Lady Cai stepped forward and said weakly," When I offered the city, I promised my son that he would be the ruler of Jingzhou forever. Why did you send my son and I to Qingzhou?”
"The war in Jingzhou has yet to end!" Boss Cao, on the moral high ground, began to bully the widow and her son."Liu Bei refused to surrender. He burned Bowang Slope and Xinye. He fought and retreated at Changban Slope, defeating the imperial army.”
"A few days ago, he even sent Zhao Zilong to assassinate me at Jingshan! Killed more than fifty of my battle generals in a row!”
As he spoke, Boss Cao pointed his finger, which symbolized justice and morality, at the orphan and widow.
"If this chaos is not settled, I will make Liu Zong the Lord of Jing State. How can he sit firmly in the country?!”
Liu Zong cried and said,"Since this is the case, Liu Zong is unwilling to be an official. He is willing to protect his parents 'homeland. Please grant me the title of a citizen."”
Boss Cao paused for a moment and felt embarrassed. He said earnestly,"Qingzhou is close to the imperial capital. Letting you be an official in the court to avoid being harmed in Jingxiang is also for the sake of you and your son.”
"Set off immediately!" The last four words carried an inviolable meaning.
Lady Cai knew that there was no turning back. Tears welled up in her eyes as she held Liu Zong's hand and left.
……
Cao Aman looked at the delicate and pitiful Lady Cai, and his heart was moved. He reluctantly watched as his wife left…
"Prime Minister!"
Cao Aman was startled.
"Cai Mao and Zhang Yun," said Chen Qun,"are both villains of power and evil!”
"Why did my lord give Xian Guan the responsibility of being a noble official and let the two of them take charge of the Jingzhou navy?”
" Humph…" Boss Cao snorted and said proudly,""How can I not recognize people?"
