After a fire in the city lord's palace, Chaisang City, and even the entire Jiangdong, fell into a strange tranquility, like a pool of stagnant water, calm but full of lifeless energy. The main war faction stopped talking, and the main surrender faction didn't say anything either.
As for the common people, they lived their lives as usual. As for the war, it is not something they can participate in.
And this calmness did not last for a few days. On this day, a piece of news was like a huge stone smashing into this stagnant water, causing huge waves.
Jingzhou guard Cai Mao and Zhang Yun surrendered to Cao Cao! Since then, the entire Jingzhou has been included in Cao Cao's sphere of influence. Cao Cao was so high-spirited that he rashly led his army, with the navy that had surrendered from Jingzhou as the main force, advancing both by land and water, and marched southeast down the Yangtze River, heading straight to the east of the Yangtze River. At the same time, Cao Cao sent someone to send a letter to persuade him to surrender. The letter said: "Today, there are 800,000 naval troops under control, and I will join the general to hunt in Wu." His plan to seize Jiangdong's heart is known to everyone on the road.
In addition, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan, Zhao Yun and other fierce generals and soldiers finally escaped Cao Cao's pursuit after running all the way. They led thousands of remnants and people to temporarily station at Fankou, preparing to fight. Of course, the prerequisite for fighting is that Zhuge Liang successfully persuades Sun and Liu to form an alliance. Otherwise, I am afraid that he will have to "avoid his edge and wait for opportunities to fight."
As a result, there was a quarrel in the "White Tiger Garden" in Chaisang City, which was the temporary city lord's palace.
That day, early in the morning, Zhuge Liang, accompanied by Lu Su, went to see Sun Quan to persuade him to form an alliance. Although a fire a few days ago disrupted his plan, Zhuge Liang was Zhuge Liang after all, and he still looked confident.
At the door of the inn, watching Zhuge Liang's carriage go away, Yin Kuang turned to look at the crowd and said, "Let's go in. Things are in trouble." Yin Kuang was obviously not in a high mood, so he turned around and went in without saying anything. Went to the inn. Bai Lu patted Wei Ming next to him and asked, "What's wrong with him? He looks very bad." Wei Ming laughed dryly, "You ask me?" "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Bai Lu scratched his head. She looked at Tang Rouyu and said, "Beautiful Tang, you should know, right?"
Tang Rouyu sighed and said: "Forget it, let's talk about it after we go in."
Everyone in Class 1237 gathered in Yin Kuang's wing and sat down in silence. Yin Kuang said angrily: "This Cao Cao! He is really asking for death! We worked hard here to prevent the alliance between Sun and Liu, but he himself accelerated the alliance between Sun Quan and Liu." Wei Ming asked: "Can't it? Why did Cao Cao accelerate the alliance between Sun Quan and Liu? Has Liu Bei formed an alliance?"
Tang Rouyu explained: "Cao Cao captured Jingzhou in such a short period of time, sent his troops south without taking any rest, and sent an envoy to send a letter to persuade him to surrender. He was so aggressive. What would we do if it were us? Let alone one party. Sun Quan is the overlord. Originally, the fire a few days ago made Sun Quan calm down. With Cao Cao's interference, I'm afraid that the Sun-Liu alliance has become a foregone conclusion. "
"Ah? It's a foregone conclusion? Then what about the woolen yarn?" Bai Lu said: "Ms. Tang, are you sure? Then if Sun Liuyi forms an alliance, nothing will change? Then what do I do? A clown?" Listen After hearing Bai Lu's words, everyone was also depressed.
During these peaceful days, everyone in Class 1237 racked their brains in order to stop the Sun-Liu Alliance. Assassination, frame-up, framing, coercion, bribery, etc., almost everything that can be done has been done. The effect cannot be said to be great, but it has some effect. For example, Yin Kuang and others bribed the two leaders of the Lord Harmony Sect, Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong's servants, and asked them to discuss Cao Cao's power, what would happen to their families when they came to Jiangdong, and what would happen to their families. How? In addition, Yin Kuang also secretly bribed some desperate gangsters and beggars, asking them to pretend to be good citizens and go to the ministers of the main peace faction to petition, or to make trouble in front of the homes of the main war faction generals. As for the assassination, it is natural to assassinate some small figures. This speed must be controlled well, otherwise it will be counterproductive. All of these can be said to be used in almost everything.
In addition, they also have to watch Xiao Qiao carefully, waiting for an opportunity to complete the deceptive but necessary task assigned by Cao Cao. Then, they have to be careful about Zhuge Liang discovering anomalies and being attacked by Class 1207 and Class 1236.
That's right, Class 1236! They also got involved. The "Miluo" of the "Goddess Terrace" that Venerable Black Arrow mentioned that night was a very attractive girl in Class 1236, Luo Shuyuan. In addition, Yin Kuang also met Zhu Tong, Li Qingyun and other ten people from Class 1236. What's even more deceiving is that their mission is also Xiao Qiao, and they are also under Cao Cao's orders.
In response to the sudden interference in Class 1236, Yin Kuang spent some time and finally figured out the joints. The conclusion is that Class 1236 was manipulated by Cao Cao. Moreover, it is a path of narrow escape from death, or even ten deaths without resurrection. Why do you say that? First of all, Class 1236 is affiliated with Sun Quan’s forces. And Cao Cao wants them to kidnap Xiao Qiao. Once this happens, no matter whether they succeed or not, Zhu Tong and Li Qingyun will definitely die, and Zhou Yu will never let them go. As for Zhu Tong and Li Qingyun, they refused the mission, or failed, and failed to kidnap Xiao Qiao. Zhou Yu would not let them go after the incident. The other twenty people who were still in Cao Cao's camp would definitely be implicated, and there was no Good ending.
Looking back at Cao Cao, he didn't seem to have any losses! Successfully kidnapping Xiao Qiao can damage the morale of Zhou Yu and Soochow, and at the same time, get a beauty. If it fails, Cao Cao can use this to eliminate suspicious elements such as Zhu Tong in the force, and Xiao Qiao is there, unable to escape. When he defeats Soochow, Xiao Qiao will still be his. In addition, don't forget, Cao Cao also treats Yin Kuang and others issued the same task. Therefore, Cao Cao's move was very subtle.
Of course, there may be so-called subtlety, but it is more that Cao Cao takes it for granted.
Although Class 1236 and Class 1237 seem to have the same mission, Yin Kuang and others will never be stupid enough to establish a strategic partnership with Class 1236 and cooperate sincerely with each other. Because in the final analysis, Class 1236 belongs to Sun Quan's influence, while Class 1237 belongs to Cao Cao's influence, and the innate basis for cooperation between the two parties is not established. What's more, there are still some minor grievances between the two classes. Therefore, Class 1236 has every motive to stab Class 1237 behind their backs. While Class 1237 is on guard against Class 1236, it is also thinking about how to kill them.
Back to the topic, after Bai Lu finished speaking, everyone was convinced. Indeed, if Tang Rouyu and Yin Kuang's speculations were followed, Cao Cao's move was simply to undermine them. Let what they did before turn into nothingness in an instant. After all, the person in charge of Soochow was still Sun Quan. Once he speaks, everyone in Soochow must obey - this is the feudal monarch-subordinate relationship. The ministers can disagree later, but the ministers must obey the monarch's decision, even if it is wrong.
Yin Kuang sighed and said: "Perhaps, this is the difficulty of our exam task! We not only have to compete with the other two classes, but also with their respective forces and the forces they belong to. We only had to compete before. Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang were considered, but the most critical figure, Cao Cao, was ignored."
Tang Rouyu said "Yes" and said: "I still remember that in the original movie, Cao Cao was eager for Sun and Liu to form an alliance, and used this as an excuse to take over the entire Jiangdong and unify the north and the south. Unfortunately, Cao Cao was too conceited, and he simply He didn't take Liu Bei and Sun Quan seriously. In his opinion, Liu Bei failed in his life and was just a mat weaver and shoe seller. Sun Quan just took advantage of his brother. Of course, Cao Cao's failure There are objective and irresistible factors, as well as reasons due to his own personality. So... "
Bai Lu slapped the table and said, "Then it's not very difficult for us to win this exam? No! It's not just difficult, it's basically... impossible!" As he said that, Bai Lu scratched his head so hard that it made him scratch his head. Dandruff flying everywhere.
Yin Kuang said: "We do not have the ability to change Cao Cao's mind. So, now, we can only find ways to weaken the strength of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Even if they really form an alliance, we cannot let them live in peace. We must create some trouble for them. , no, big trouble.”
Bai Lu asked first: "Xiao Yinzi, your brain is the best. Tell me what should be done. Now, I am confused by the principal. This guy is obviously creating problems for us. I Now I feel that everything has turned into a mess. Ah, no more, little Yinzi, please speak." Wei Ming muttered, "Just say some nonsense." Bai Lu's ears were very good, and he immediately Staring at Wei Ming.
Yin Kuang said: "Actually, everyone has their own goals and desires. As long as they are straightened out, there will be no confusion at all. I do have a method now. However, you also know that my method... "
"Very adventurous, isn't it?" Tang Rouyu smiled. Yin Kuang smiled bitterly and nodded, saying: "It is indeed very adventurous." Tang Rou said: "Since we came to college, adventure has been everywhere, isn't it? Yin Kuang, please stop whining. Just say it."
Yin Kuang nodded and said: "Actually, the identity assigned to us by the principal is one of the conditions that can be exploited!"
