Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

At noon the next day, Cao Shuo looked at Himiko and Bu Lianshi in his arms, and said, "Xiao Yu, go and inform Xi Zhicai to let him handle business for a while."

Zhao Yu replied weakly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Master Xi Zhicai sent someone to notify you last night."

"Did I say so?"

Cao Shuo thought about it carefully, and it seems that there is such a thing.

"I'll take a rest, and the three concubines will take turns dancing for me."

On the morning of the third day, Cao Shuo got up early, Gu Yong and Bu Zhi had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time.

Seeing Cao Shuo coming out, Gu Yong hurriedly greeted him, "Your Majesty, the tree you asked to find has a clue now. Someone has seen it in Kuaiji Mountain."

Cao Shuo was overjoyed. He didn't expect someone to find it. Before he hit the Guishuang Empire, the padded coats of the soldiers were all gone.

Cao Shuo ordered: "You set aside an area in the south of Kuaiji County to plant this kind of tree, and it will be called kapok tree in the future."

Gu Yong asked puzzledly: "Does Your Majesty not plan to move to Luoyang?"

"Why move to Luoyang? This tree is used for making clothes and bedding, not for appreciation."

"Making clothes and quilts?" Gu Yong and Bu Zhi looked surprised, how do they do this?
Is it necessary to stuff leaves in the bedding?

Thatch is stronger than leaves.

Cao Shuo looked at the puzzled look of the two and explained; "The kapok tree grows a white mass, which can be used for warmth..."

It took Cao Shuo a lot of effort to explain clearly to the two of them.

The two nodded in understanding.

"The kapok tree can also encourage the people to plant it. We must spread the kapok tree in the south as soon as possible."

"promise!"

After Gu Yong and Bu Zhi left, Cao Shuo dispatched five hundred tiger guards and went with Dian Wei to Jia Xu's camp in Jurong.

"Wenhe, how is the battle ahead?"

Jia Xu replied: "General Ji Ling is attacking Jiang Cheng, and it will take less than half a day to take this important town by the Yangtze River."

"General Tai Shici's [-] troops have arrived at Hushu, and they are confronting Sun Ce outside the city."

Cao Shuo smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Sun Ce still hasn't run away? Dian Wei, you go to Taishi Cijun to meet Sun Ce."

"promise!"

As long as Sun Ce dares to go out of the city to fight alone, let him know how stupid he is.

After Huang Zhong left Yangzhou, Sun Ce began to jump up again, thinking that in Yangzhou, no one except Huang Zhong could do anything to him.

Cao Shuo looked at the map in front of Jia Xu and asked, "Where is Wenji's army?"

Jia Xu looked at Xi Zhicai at the side, Wen Ji led an army of [-] deep into the hinterland of Danyang County, and he really couldn't contact him.

However, Xi Zhicai's Jin Yiwei should be able to receive the news.

Xi Zhicai replied: "Wen Ji took Yi County two days ago, and should have taken Lingyang by now, and is heading for Jing County."

Cao Shuo nodded, Wen Ji had He Qi by his side, and Jia Xu's eldest son Jia Mu followed, so there would be no problems.

All the food and grass of the army traveled by water. On the Zhejiang River, Sun Ce had no chance to rob food.

"How many soldiers are there in the camp?"

Jia Xu replied, "Three thousand cavalry and twenty thousand infantry!"

Cao Shuo calculated that if he led an army to attack Liyang, he would definitely surprise Sun Ce.

Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, Cao Shuo suddenly asked how many soldiers were left in the camp, they knew what Cao Shuo wanted to do.

Xi Zhicai persuaded: "Your Majesty, the battle in Danyang County can be fought steadily. Liu Biao has already started mobilizing soldiers to attack Yuzhang County from Changsha County. We don't need to take the risk of attacking Sun Ce's rear."

Cao Shuo looked surprised, Liu Biao attacked Sun Ce?

"Why did Liu Biao attack Sun Ce unexpectedly? The two of them cooperated very well."

Xi Zhicai explained: "Last night, the Longteng Chamber of Commerce sent a message. You were resting at the time, so you didn't inform me."

"What about Jingzhou?"

Yin Kui's branch is in charge of Jingzhou's affairs, so what he sent must have a close relationship with Jingzhou.

"Yin Kui said in the letter that Sun Ce secretly hoarded no less than [-] troops in the two counties of Yichun and Pingdu in Danyang County, and planned to launch troops against the four counties in Jingnan."

"Ha ha!"

Cao Shuo sneered, this alliance is really interesting, it has only been together for a long time, and for a small benefit, it began to break up.

Jia Xu said: "Sun Ce has lost Wu County, if he loses Danyang County, he will only have one county left, and he will definitely try every means to expand his territory."

"Although the Jingnan four counties are vast and sparsely populated, they are far away from the Central Plains. They are very suitable as his rear to provide him with food and grass."

Cao Shuo said: "In this case, after we capture Danyang County, we will sign an armistice agreement with Sun Ce, and we will not attack each other within one year."

He wants to see, Sun Ce or Liu Biao, whose navy is the most powerful, so that he can take advantage of this year to clean up Ma Teng in Xiliang and Liu Bei in Hanzhong.

As long as Liangzhou and Hanzhong are stable, he can send troops to attack Liu Biao from the west.

In the end, Cao Shuo still took away the soldiers and horses in Jia Xu's camp, and the war in Danyang County must end as soon as possible.

Jia Xu dispatched [-] soldiers from Qu'a to defend Jurong, and then, together with Cao Shuo, led the army all the way south to attack Liyang.

"Zou Dan, Qi Zhou, you two lead three thousand cavalry to open the way!"

"promise!"

When it was dark, Cao Shuo's army arrived outside Liyang City, and Wu Lu, the prefect of Liyang, was terrified.

How can there be enemies here?Has Sun Ce's army ahead been defeated?
Wu Lu looked at the lieutenants behind him and said, "Who dares to lead the soldiers to test the opponent's strength?"

One of the lieutenants said: "Prefect, the enemy must have bypassed the army in front of us and marched all the way to here. It is two or three hundred miles from Hushu to here. The opponent's soldiers must be exhausted. We might as well take advantage of it." When the opponent's foothold is not stable, they attack the camp."

Wu Lu thought about it carefully. Although what his lieutenant general said was reasonable, he only had [-] soldiers under him. If he couldn't get out of the battle quickly, he would definitely be entangled by the opponent.

The army outside the city must have at least 2 people, and leading most of the soldiers out of the city rashly, once the city is lost, his life will be in danger.

"At midnight tonight, ask the soldiers to pack lightly, go outside the enemy's camp to prevent fire, and don't get entangled with the enemy. Once you succeed, return to the city quickly."

"promise!"

In Cao Shuo's camp, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, Zou Dan, Qi Zhou, Xu Ding, Zhang Liao, and Li Dian stood in front of Cao Shuo, waiting for the next order.

Liyang is not in their plan at all, and their goal is Wanling, the seat of Danyang County.

As long as enough soldiers can be attracted here, Wen Ji in the south can quickly capture Jing County and besiege Wanling.

Cao Shuo said: "Spread the news that I am here, and I will make the whole Danyang County boil."

Jia Xu worried: "Your Majesty, is this too risky?"

Once Cao Shuo was in danger here, they could hardly absolve themselves of the blame.

"Don't worry, with so many great generals around, even if Sun Ce leads an army of one million to attack, he won't be able to do anything to me."
