But Xuande asked Kong Ming about his plan to reject Cao's army. Kong Ming said, "I cannot live in a small county in Xinye for a long time. I recently heard that Liu Jingsheng was in danger. I can take this opportunity to take Jingzhou as a place to settle down, so that I can resist Cao Cao." Xuande said, "The public is very good; but I have received the kindness of Jingsheng, so I can tolerate it!" Kong Ming said, "If I don't take it now, how can I regret it!" Xuande said, "I would rather die than do anything to betrayal." Kong Ming said, "Let's discuss it again."

But Xiahou Dun returned to Xuchang, tied up and saw Cao Cao, and asked him to die. Cao explained it. Dun said, "Dun was tricked by Zhuge Liang and used fire to attack our army." Cao said, "You have been using troops since you were young, don't you know that fire should be prevented in narrow places?" Dun said, "Li Dian, Yu Jin once said this, and regretted it too much!" Cao then rewarded the two of them. Dun said, "Liu Bei is so arrogant, and he is really a trouble of being heartbroken, so you must be eliminated in a hurry." Cao said, "What I am worried about is Liu Bei, Liu Bei

, Sun Quan; I am not enough to mind, and now we should take advantage of this time to sweep the south of the Yangtze River." Then we ordered a large army of 500,000, and Cao Ren and Cao Hong were the first team, Zhang Liao and Zhang He were the second team. Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were the third team, Yu Jin and Li Dian were the fourth team, Cao led all the generals to the fifth team: each team led 100,000 troops. Xu Chu was also ordered to lead generals and lead 3,000 troops as the vanguard. He was selected to go to the stage on the 7th day of the 13th year of Jian'an.

The Taizhong official Kong Rong advised: "Liu Bei and Liu Biao are all relatives of the Han Dynasty, so they should not be attacked easily; Sun Quan is entrenched in six counties, and there is a danger of a river, so it is not easy to take over. Now the Prime Minister is promoting this unrighteous army, and he is afraid that he will lose the hope of the world." Cao said angrily, "Liu Bei, Liu Biao and Sun Quan are all ministers who are against their orders, so how can they not be punished?" Then he scolded Kong Rong and ordered: "If anyone advises again, he will be killed." Kong Rong left the mansion and sighed to the sky, "It is so unkind that he attacked Zhizhi.

How can you be undefeated?" When the censor Xi Lu's family heard this, he reported to Xi Lu. He was worried that he was often insulted by Kong Rong, and he hated him. He then told Cao Cao with this statement, and said, "Rong often insults the Prime Minister, and he was kind to Ni Heng. Heng said that Zhongni was not dead, Rong said that Yan Huisheng was reborn. He was the one who insulted the Prime Minister, and Rong asked him to be the one who was insulted by Ni Heng. He ordered the court guard to capture Kong Rong. Rong had two sons and was still young.

At that time, he was at home and sat opposite each other and chess. The left and right reported urgently, "The king was taken away by the court magistrate, and he will behead him! Why don't the second prince avoid it?" The second prince said, "Where is the eggs under the nest?" Before he finished speaking, the court magistrate arrived again and took away the two sons of Rong's family, and all of them were beheaded, and ordered Rong's corpse to be ordered to cry in the market. Jingzhao Zhixi buried the corpse and cried. Cao heard it, and was furious and wanted to kill him. Xun Yu said, "When Yu heard that Zhixi often advised Rong, "You are too strong and upright,

It was a way to cause disaster. Now Rong died and came to cry. He was a righteous man, so he should not be killed." Cao stopped, and Xi Surong and his son's corpses were buried. Later generations praised Kong Rong and said, "Kong Rong lived in the North Sea, and his heroic spirit was steeped in the rainbow: he sat on the guest and had a long wine in the jar; his articles shocked the world, talked and laughed in the princes and princes. Historical writing praised loyalty and integrity, and kept the officials and officials to record Taizhong." After Cao Cao killed Kong Rong, he ordered five teams of troops to start one after another, leaving only Xun Yu and others to guard Xuchang.

However, Liu Biao in Jingzhou was seriously ill, so he asked someone to ask Xuande to ask his or her. Xuande led the pass, and Zhang went to Jingzhou to see Liu Biao. The orphan said, "I am already terminally ill and died soon. I specially asked my orphan to be my brother. My son has no talent and is afraid that he will not be able to inherit his father's business. After I die, my brother can lead Jingzhou by himself." Xuande cried and said, "You should do your best to assist your nephew, how dare you have other intentions!" As he was just speaking, Cao Cao came to command the army. Xuande hurriedly resigned Liu Biao and returned to Xinye at night. Liu Biao was surprised when he was sick and discussed writing a will, so he asked Xuande to assist his eldest son Liu Qi as the lord of Jingzhou. Mrs. Cai was furious when she heard this and closed the inner door; she sent Cai Mao and Zhang Yun

The two of them held the outer door. At that time, Liu Qi was in Jiangxia. When he knew that his father was critically ill, he came to Jingzhou to visit his illness. When Cai Mao arrived, he said, "The young master was ordered by his father to guard Jiangxia. His responsibilities were very important. Now he left his post without permission. What if the Eastern Wu soldiers arrived? If you come in, the lord will be angry and your illness will increase. It is not filial. You should return quickly." Liu Qi stood outside the door, cried loudly, and still returned to Jiangxia. Liu Biao was in critical condition and hoped that Liu Qi would not come. On August 2018, he shouted and died several times. Later generations lamented Liu Biao and said, "I heard that Yuan lived in Heshuo, and saw Liu Jun domineering Hanyang. I was always tired of my family, and I was pitiful and almost lost!"

After Liu Biao died, Mrs. Cai and Zhang Yun discussed with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and ordered the second son Liu Cong to be the lord of Jingzhou, and then mourn the mourning. At that time, Liu Cong was fourteen years old and was quite smart, so he gathered people to say, "My father abandoned the world, my brother is now in Jiangxia, and his uncle Xuande is in Xinye. You make me the master. If your brother and his uncle raise troops to ask for crimes, how can you explain?" Before the officials answered, the official Li Gui of the lord replied, "Your Majesty is very good. Now you can send a letter of mourning to Jiangxia and ask the eldest son to be the lord of Jingzhou, so he ordered Xuande to be the lord of Jingzhou. He ordered Xuande to be the lord to be the lord: the north can be against Cao Cao, and the south can be rejected. This is a complete strategy." Cai Mao scolded and said, "Who do you dare to speak randomly to rebel against the lord's order!"

Li Gui cursed, "You are friends from both inside and outside, and you pretend to be the last order, and you will be deposed and established as the youngest. Seeing that the nine counties of Jingxiang were given to the Cai family! Therefore, if you have a spirit, you will be punished!" Cai Mao was furious and ordered his left and right to behead him. Li Gui "screamed until his death. So Cai Mao then established Liu Cong as the leader. The Cai family clan led the troops of Jingzhou. He ordered Deng Yi to govern the Central Committee and Liu Xian to defend Jingzhou. Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong went to Xiangyang to station to prevent Liu Qi and Liu Bei. He buried Liu Biao's coffin in the land of Hanyang in the eastern part of Xiangyang City, but did not even inform Liu Qi and Xuande.

Liu Cong arrived in Xiangyang and stopped his horse. Suddenly, Cao Cao led a large army to come to Xiangyang. Cong was shocked and asked Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others to discuss. Dongcao clerk Fu Xun said, "It is worrying if Cao Cao's troops come. Now the eldest son is in Jiangxia, and Xuande is in Xinye. I have not gone to report the demise. If he raises troops to punish him, Jingxiang will be in danger. Xun has a plan to make the people of Jingxiang as safe as Mount Tai, and can also protect the lord's name and title." Cong said, "It is better to go out?" Xun said, "It is better to bring the nine counties of Jingxiang and offer Cao Cao to Cao. Cao must treat the lord better." Cong shouted

He said, "What is this? I am the foundation of my ancestors and have not yet sat firmly. How can I abandon others?" Kuai Yue said, "The words of Fu Gongti are. There is a general generality of rebellion and opposition, and there is a certainty in strength and weakness. Now Cao Cao is fighting south and north, and he is called the court. The lord rejects it, but his name is not upright. Moreover, the lord is newly established, and external troubles are not calm, and internal troubles are about to be committed. The people of Jingxiang heard that Cao's troops arrived and were brave and cold before the battle. How could they fight against him?" Cong said, "The lords are good at speaking, but I will not follow me. But once the lord abandons his ancestors and abandons others, they may be laughed at the world."

Before he finished speaking, a man stepped forward and said, "Fu Gongti and Kuai Yidu's words are very good, why not follow it?" Everyone looked at him. He was from Gaoping, Shanyang, with the surname Wang, and his name was Can, with the courtesy name Zhongxuan. Can looked thin and short. When he was young, he went to see Cai Yong, Zhongyang. When Yong saw his friends all over the seat. When he heard Can arrive, he walked upside down to greet him. The guests were shocked and said, "How can Cai Zhonglang respect this boy alone?" Yong said, "This boy has extraordinary talent, I am not as good as me." Can heard a lot of knowledge and remembered it, but no one could follow him. He once watched the inscriptions beside the Tao and could recite it. When he watched the inscriptions on the road, he could recite it. When he watched the people playing chess, the chess game was chaotic, Can again put it out, not a single son. He was also good at arithmetic. His writing was wonderful. At the age of 17, he was appointed as the Minister of the Yellow Gate, but he did not go to Jingxiang. Later, he avoided the chaos and went to Jingxiang, and Liu Biao thought he was a guest of honor. On the same day, he said to Liu Cong, "How is the general who thinks he is like Cao Gong?" Cong said, "

It's better." Can said, "Cao Gong is a strong general and brave, and is very resourceful. He captured Lu Bu in Xia Pi, destroyed Yuan Shao at Guandu, expel Liu Bei at Longyou, and defeated Wuhuan at Bailang: Xiao eliminated Dangding, which is invincible. Now he went south to Jingxiang with a large army, and it is difficult to resist the enemy. The plan of Fu and Kuai is a long-term plan. The general should not hesitate, and he regretted it." Cong said, "Sir, seeing that the teachings are extremely good, but you must report to your mother." He saw Mrs. Cai turn out from behind the screen and say to Cong, "Since it is Zhongxuan, Gongti, and the three of them have the same views as each other, why tell me?" So Liu Cong decided to write a letter of surrender and asked Song Zhong to secretly go to Cao Cao's army. Song Zhong received the order and went to Wancheng. Then Cao Cao presented the letter of surrender. Cao was very happy and rewarded Song Zhong highly and taught Liu Cong to go out of the city to greet him, so he would always be the lord of Jingzhou.

Song Zhong bid farewell to Cao Cao and returned to Jingxiang. When the general was about to cross the river, he suddenly saw a man and horse coming. He looked at it. It was Guan Yunchang. Song Zhong avoided him and was called by Yunchang and asked about the matter in Jingzhou. Zhong was initially hidden; later he was questioned by Yunchang, so he had to tell the truth. Yunchang was shocked and captured Song Zhong and went to Xinye to see Xuande, and prepared to tell him about the matter. Xuande cried when he heard this. Zhang Fei said, "It's already this way. You can kill Song Zhong first, raise an army to cross the river, seize Xiangyang, kill Cai and Liu Cong, and then fight Cao Cao."

Xuande said, "You keep silent. I have some thoughts." Then he scolded Song Zhong and said, "Why don't you come to report me early when you know that everyone is doing things? Even if you are beheading you now, you can go quickly." Zhong thanked him and ran away with his head in his arms. Xuande suddenly reported that his son Liu Qi sent Yi Ji to come. Xuande was grateful for Yi Ji's gratitude for saving each other in the past, and he was brought down to welcome him, and thanked him again and again. Ji said, "The eldest son is in Jiangxia. When he heard that Jingzhou was dead, Mrs. Cai discussed with Cai Mao and others, but did not come to report the demise, so he made Liu Cong the master. The prince sent someone to Xiangyang to inquire and replied that it was true. I was afraid that the envoy would not know, so he sent someone to report the letter of mourning, and asked the envoy to raise all his elite soldiers and go to Xiangyang to question the crime together." After reading the book, Xuande said to Yi Ji, "

Ji Bo only knew that Liu Cong was usurped, and he didn't know that Liu Cong had presented the nine counties of Jingxiang to Cao Cao!" Ji was shocked and said, "Where did you know?" Xuande said, "If this is the case, you might as well go to Xiangyang for the sake of mourning, lure Liu Cong out to welcome him, and then capture him and kill his party. Then Jingzhou belongs to the envoy." Kongming said, "Ji Bo's words are. The lord can follow him." Xuande shed tears and said, "My brother entrusted me to me when he was in danger. Now if he took his son and took his land, he died in the next day, how could he see my brother again?" Kongming said, "If this is not done, Cao's army has arrived in Wancheng, how can he resist the enemy?" Xuande said, "It's better to go to Fancheng to avoid it."

While discussing, the horses were flying to report that Cao's army had arrived at Bowang. Xuande hurriedly sent Fu Yiji back to Jiangxia to rectify the army and horses. While discussing with Kong Ming the plan to resist the enemy. Kong Ming said, "My lord, be relieved. A fire in the previous round burned most of Xiahou Dun's men and horses; today Cao's army came again, and he would teach him this plan. We can't live in Xinye, so why not go to Fancheng early." So he sent people to four doors to set a list and told the residents: "Whether you are old, young, young, and young, you are willing to follow me, you will follow me to Fancheng for a while today, and you should not miss yourself." Sun Qian sent to the river to allocate ships to the river to help the people; Mi Zhu sent escorts the families of all officials to Fancheng. On the other hand, he gathered the generals to obey orders and first taught Yun Chang to lead a thousand troops to Baihe.

The upper head is ambushed. Each brings cloth bags, packs more sand and soil to stop the water of the Baihe River. After the next three o'clock in the morning, he only heard the low-headed man shouting that the horse is neighing, and quickly picking up the cloth bags, putting them into the water, but he killed the generals along the water to come and take the ambush. The water is the slowest here, and Cao's army is flooded, and he will escape from now on, so he will take the opportunity to come and take the opportunity to come and respond. Zhao Yun also leads three thousand troops to lie outside the east gate. The three teams are divided into three gates in the west, south and north gates, but they are first in the houses of the city, and there are many sulfur, yellow flames, and salt to cause fire. Cao's army enters the city and must rest in the houses. After dusk, there will be strong winds; but when the wind blows, he will make the west, south and north gates slums.

The army shot all the rockets into the city; when the fire in the city was thriving, they cheered outside the city, leaving only the east gate to let him run away. But they attacked from the back outside the east gate. Tianming met with the pass, and the two generals Zhang took the army back to Fancheng. Then they ordered Mi Fang and Liu Feng to take two thousand troops. Half the red flag and half the green flag, and went to the front thirty miles outside Xinye City. When Zhu saw Cao's army arrive, the red flag army was walking on the left and the Qing flag army was walking on the right. He suspected that he would not dare to chase him. But he went to ambush separately. He only hoped that the fire in the city would be fired, and he could chase and kill the defeated soldiers, and then came to the upper stream of Baihe to meet. Kong Ming's division was settled, so he climbed up with Xuande and looked up, waiting for the sound of the victory. However, Cao Ren and Cao Hong led 100,000 troops to the front

In front of the team, Xu Chu had already led three thousand iron armored troops to open the road, and rushed to Xinye. At the Luncheon that day, he came to Quewei Slope and saw a cluster of people and horses in front of the slope, all of which were green and red flags. Xu Chu urged his army to move forward. Liu Feng and Mi Fang were divided into four teams, Qing and Hongqi to return to the left and right. Xu Chu stepped on his horse and told him not to advance: "There must be ambushing troops in front. My soldiers only stay here." Xu Chu rode a horse and reported to Cao Ren in front of the team. Cao Ren said: "This is a doubtful army, and there must be no ambush. You can advance quickly. I should urge the army to come." Xu Chu returned to the slope and brought his troops into the forest to pursue him. When he was chasing the forest, no one was seen. He had already fallen west. Xu Chu was about to advance, but he heard the loud bragging on the mountain.

When I looked up, I saw a cluster of flags on the top of the mountain, two umbrellas in the flag cluster: Xuande on the left and Kongming on the right, and the two sat opposite each other and drank. Xu Chu was furious and led his army to find a way to the mountain. He beat the generals on the mountain and could not move forward. He also heard the shouts behind the mountain and was shocked. He wanted to find a way to fight, but it was too late. Cao Ren led his troops to capture Xinye City and restore the horse. When the soldiers arrived at the city, they saw four gates wide open. Cao's troops broke into people without any obstacles, and there was no one in the city.

It turned out to be an empty city. Cao Hong said, "This is a lonely plan, so he took the people away. Our military power will be in the city, and we will advance troops in the future." At this time, the army was exhausted and hungry, so they all went to seize the house to make food. Cao Ren and Cao Hong were resting in the yamen. After the first update, a strong wind blew up. The soldiers guarding the gate reported the fire. Cao Ren said, "This must be the soldiers who accidentally made food. The fire that was left behind should not be alarmed." Before he finished speaking, several consecutive times

The next flight report was that the three gates of the west, south and north were all fired. When Cao Ren urgently ordered the generals to get on the horse, the fire in the whole county was red. The fire at that night was even better than the fire in Bowang burning the trunk the day before yesterday. Later generations sighed: "The treacherous hero Cao Cao guarded the Central Plains and marched to Hanchuan in September. Feng Bo was angry and approached Xinye County, and Zhurong flew down the flames and skyscrapers." Cao Ren led the generals to smoke and fire and ran around in search of the road. He heard that there was no fire in the east gate, so he rushed out of the east gate. The soldiers trampled on each other, and countless dead people were dead.

Cao Ren and others were just getting rid of the fire and shouted behind their backs. Zhao Yun led the army to fight, and the defeated army fled their lives, who would turn around and fight? While they were running, Mi Fang led the army to come and rushed for another time. Cao Ren was defeated and took the way, and Liu Feng led the army to intercept and kill for another time. By the fourth hour, the people were trapped and the horses were exhausted, and most of the soldiers were in a hurry. When they ran to the Baihe River, they were happy that the river water was not very deep, and the people and horses all went down to the river to eat water: people were noisy and horses were neighing.

But clouds were growing up in the upper stream and used cloth bags to stop the river. At dusk, they saw the fire in Xinye. At the fourth update, they suddenly heard the vulgar man shouting that the horses were neighing, and urgently ordered the soldiers to pull up the cloth bags together. The water was soaring. When the water was overwhelming, Cao's soldiers and horses were drowned in the water, and many dead. Cao Ren led all the generals to take the road to the slow water. When he arrived at the Boling Ferry, he heard a loud shout. The army blocked the road. Zhang Fei was the first general, and shouted: "Cao thief, come and take the order!" Cao's army was shocked.
Chapter completed!
