Chapter 1455： : The war is urgent (below)

"The safety of Xiangyang City is related to the safety of the soldiers and civilians in the city. The officer hopes that all the families can take out the private soldiers in the family and resist the attack of the Cao army. The officer will ask for credit for you in front of the sage." Zhuge Liang said.

Only then did the aristocratic family understand Zhuge Liang's true intentions. The price of rice was to beat the family in the city and let them hand over the private soldiers. That was the ultimate goal. The importance of the private soldiers to the family was self-evident. No one wants to hand over the private soldiers completely.

The existence of private soldiers is a symbol of the strength of the family, and it is also an important force to protect the family. If all the private soldiers are in Zhuge Liang's hands, they will become Zhuge Liang's playthings.

"Military strategist, although the battle situation is urgent, there are not many private soldiers in the family. All the family has supported a thousand people before, but now the city is not stable. If the family does not have private soldiers, how to ensure the safety of the family."

Zhuge Liang glanced at this person coldly and said: "Come here, control the people of the Qin family. The official suspects that the people of the Qin family have an affair with Cao Jun outside the city, and Jian Yong is responsible for investigating this matter."

After hearing these words, the aristocratic families in the field all took a breath. Zhuge Liang's words directly forced the Qin family to the end of the road. It can be seen that Zhuge Liang has reached the point where he must control the private soldiers in the hands of the aristocratic family.

Whether it is Liu Bei occupying Jingzhou or Cao Cao occupying Jingzhou, in the eyes of the family, there is not much difference, and Cao Cao demonstrated stronger strength. Even if Cao Cao broke Jingzhou, he did not dare to wipe out the Jingzhou court. Jingzhou represents The court, and what Cao Cao is most likely to do is to continue to support the saint and not to crusade against him. Liu Bei did the same, but Liu Bei's strength is far worse than that of Cao Cao, otherwise it would not bring Jingzhou into the current situation.

Moreover, before Cao Cao attacked Xiangyang, he secretly sent people to spread the news in the city. After the attack on Xiangyang, the family’s interests would not be touched, and even those who opened the city gate to welcome Cao Jun’s entry into the city would receive a generous reward. At first, the family was While waiting and watching, what happened to the Kuai family made the aristocratic family more vigilant, and did not dare to have the slightest involvement with Cao Jun in secret.

However, judging from the fighting during this period, they have lost more and more confidence in Zhuge Liang. The Jingzhou navy suffered heavy losses on the way to support Xiangyang. The Jingzhou navy was an important force for Jingzhou to deal with Jiangdong. They even foreseen that when Sun Cede After knowing the news of the heavy losses of the Jingzhou Army, will they take the opportunity to send troops to attack Jingzhou?

Compared to Sun Ce, the family still had some good feelings for Cao Cao.

"I am willing to obey the orders of the military commander." The aristocratic family expressed their opinions. No one wants to be angry with Zhuge Liang before this time. The family of the Qin family has already explained that Zhuge Liang will not be soft when dealing with the aristocratic family.

After leaving the General Mansion, the family heads had different moods. When handing over the private soldiers, the family would naturally not be willing. They also wanted to rely on the private soldiers in their hands to preserve the strength of the family in this battle.

Otherwise, once Cao Jun breaks through Xiangyang, the city will definitely be chaotic. The private soldiers of the family will play a very important role at this moment. Otherwise, facing the enemy, the family can only watch the assets of the family being plundered by others.

Even after suffering such a loss, the family did not dare to cry to Cao Cao. Every family had private soldiers. Cao Cao certainly knew about this situation. After Cao Jun broke the city, the family’s private soldiers were gone. How could Cao Cao not think where these private soldiers had gone?

The Patriarch of the Li family cast a wink at the Patriarch Huang and Patriarch Wu who were beside him.

The two nodded knowingly, and left the general's mansion calmly.

Outside the city of Xiangyang, Cao Cao had absolute confidence in breaking through Xiangyang, especially after hearing the news from the meticulous work, it made Cao Cao confident. Zhuge Liang had to leave all the private soldiers in the hands of the family when it was most important for him to attack the city. , Will definitely make the family panic. The significance of private soldiers to the family is how important it is when the war starts.

"Lord, it seems that Zhuge Liang has no other way." Xun You smiled.

"Zhuge Liang is just a villager. With a bit of resourcefulness, he dared to be so rampant in front of his Majesty. Little did he realize that the aristocratic families in the city had long regarded Zhuge Liang as a thorn in his eyes." Cao Cao said.

"Master, there is news from Jiangdong that Sun Ce has the heart to send troops to attack Jingzhou, and now Jiangdong's soldiers and horses are gathering." Cheng Yu said.

Xun You heard the words in a low voice: "Master, this is the opportunity for our army."

"What's the meaning of this?" Cao Cao asked.

"There is a deep hatred between Jingzhou and Jiangdong. The family of Jingzhou will naturally not have a good impression of Sun Ce, and the Jingzhou navy has suffered heavy losses during our army's attack on Xiangyang. Once the Jiangdong army comes, it will be difficult to stop the Jingzhou navy. But his subordinates heard that Liu Bei had raised the generals who belonged to him among the navy in order to control the navy. After the families in the city were worried about the navy's warfare and Zhuge Liangming was vying for the family. The matter of private soldiers in hand will definitely make the noble family extremely dissatisfied with Liu Bei. As long as the lord sends someone secretly to the city to appease the noble family, the noble family will inevitably abandon Zhuge Liang and support the lord." Xun You said slowly.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard the words and nodded slightly.

"The lord, if you follow Master Xun's words, after you break through Jingzhou, you can't make Liu He the emperor." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao frowned slightly. How could he not understand the meaning in Cheng Yu's words? In fact, in Cao Cao's eyes, Liu He was the emperor, and Liu Qi was the emperor who supported Liu Qi to become the emperor of the Han. It is easy to win the support of the Jingzhou family, but what Cao Cao needs is not the name of the Han Dynasty.

"The lord, with his subordinates guessing that if Zhuge Liang loses, he will definitely take Liu Qi away from Jingzhou. In this way, the lord can inherit Liu Qi's name as an improper prestige. After re-selecting the emperor, the lord’s prestige, No one can match it." Xun You said.

Cao Cao's heart moved and assisting the emperor to ascend the throne was definitely a huge prestige for a courtier. After Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, why he chose to change the emperor? The most important thing was to frighten the princes and let the princes of the world see, Dong Zhuo Even the emperor dared to change, let alone other, but Dong Zhuo ignored the power of the nobles. When the nobles were angry, that anger was enough to make Dong Zhuo defeat, but now the situation is very different. Honestly, the aristocratic families of other princes are for the benefit of their respective families, and the majesty of the Han gentry has been weakened a lot in the turmoil.

"Now the most important thing is to capture Xiangyang." Cao Cao said. The online service of real lady sister, help you find books and chat with you, please wechat/search/search/search hot web articles or rdww444 waiting for you~
