Chapter 327

I once watched on TV that a tiger was locked in a cage. When it was not hungry, it put a chicken in it. The tiger and the chicken were in peace. The tiger didn't want to touch a chicken at all.

And when the other tiger was also put in the cage, the two tigers bit the poor chicken mercilessly until they pulled it into pieces...

The situation is the same now. When Cai Mao led 100,000 troops to watch Huang Zu's precariousness and did not take action, he heard Liu Bei bringing his army to help Jiangxia. Cai Mao was anxious and ordered the entire army to immediately attack Cheng Pu's troops in the besieged city!

Although Jiang Xia is in danger, it is unlikely to be captured. Why?

Cheng Pu is not the worm in Cai Mao's belly. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he only thought that Cai Mao had any conspiracy or wanted to make a fuss halfway while he was in full swing, because he didn't dare to attack the city with all his strength. He just cursed today and beat the drum tomorrow. When Huang Zu was about to fight to the death, he found that the enemy had retreated.

Huang Zu struggled in anxiety and panic every day, spending hard in the torment of his heart, as if he was so sad every day. When he fell asleep, he was often awakened by a little bit of wind and movement, as if Cheng Pujun would attack him at any time.

However, even though Huang Zu was irritable, he also understood why Cai Mao had no intention of sending troops to rescue him - he hoped he would die!

But only others know that before Cai Mao’s army retreated or was defeated, Jiangxia was as stable as Mount Tai!

On a road, a team of about 10,000 people was marching. The number of cavalry in this team was very small, but about 300 people, led by a black-faced man. One or two miles behind his cavalry, followed closely by infantry with more than 10,000 people.

This infantry army is equipped with ordinary equipment, basically wrapped in thick leather and the shield is nailed on the outside of the wood. It is completely incomparable to the well-equipped Cao army, but its spirit is not bad. Although the march is not short, everyone can still maintain good spirits. No one shows any fatigue, nor does it fall into the team.

This is the elite selected by Liu Bei.

The small county in Xinye is only tens of thousands. If Liu Biao had not followed Liu Bei to guard the gateway of Jingzhou and Cao Cao, it would be a question whether Liu Bei's troops could reach thousands. So Liu Biao classified all the counties and counties around Xinye to Liu Bei, and with the dedicated management of Xu Shu, Sun Gan, Yi Ji and others, there was still a bit of the way to avoid picking up the doors and not closing the door at night in the Xinye area.

Liu Bei and Liu Biao are both relatives of the Han Dynasty, but they do not look as harmonious as the intimacy they met. Liu Bei is not Liu Biao's subordinate, but is just dependent, so Liu Biao does not fully trust him; and Liu Bei's subordinates, Xu Shu, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu, all made Liu Biao secretly guard against him. If Liu Bei is really as honest and kind as he looks, why are there so many unruly or talented subordinates? Who knows what he is in his heart?

In this situation where there is threats outside and strong elbow inside, it is already good that Liu Bei can develop this way. In addition, there are two strong men Zhang Fei and Guan Er in charge of military affairs, and they have been quite good in recent years.

This time, when Liu Biao received the order from him, Liu Bei's heart, which had been silent for many years, became a little lively. I don't know how long it took to go into battle in person?

Time is everyone's teacher, but it slowly kills all students and slowly destroys everyone's ambitions and pride when they were young. Liu Bei is already middle-aged, but he has a fate of relying on others. He is disheartened and starts to weave shoes and mats again.

For this rescue, Liu Bei ordered all the "elite soldiers" under his jurisdiction, although he also knew what the result would be if his opponent was Cao Cao. He also brought Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Xu Shu, and two newly recruited people, one was originally an old general named Liao Hua, and the other was also named Guan Ping.

In Xinye, Liu Bei left only Sun Gan, Yi Ji, and several other old Yellow Turban generals, all of whom came here, namely Gong Du, Liu Pi, and Pei Yuanshao.

Xu Shu's talent was indeed extraordinary. Since he got him, Liu Bei could figure out some things that he couldn't understand before. Because some people usually think about things from the overall situation, while ordinary people usually think about things on the surface.

The relationship between Liu Bei and Xu Shu is both a teacher and a friend. When they are together, they often have endless things to say, talking about the general trend of the world and the present. Speaking of Dong Zhuo's arrogance, Yuan Shu's arrogance, Yuan Shao's stupidity, and Tao Qian's hypocrisy, both of them have disdain. When talking about Cao Cao, these two people with their own ravines fell silent.

Because Cao Cao was someone they could never think of a way to defeat him.

Not only Cao Cao's current terrifying military combat power and huge sphere of influence, but also the current support for the people and Cao Cao's series of political measures made Xu Shu sigh every time he looked at the moon.

However, they all discovered that Cao Cao's success and development were more or less inexplicable with the madman. Even a large cart full of cargo, although it was easy to go downhill, everyone forgot who made the effort when it went uphill.

Zhang Feng is undoubtedly that person.

Because of him, Cao Cao had the richest Puyang in the Central Plains at that time; because of him, Cao Cao had an invincible bow and cavalry; because of him, Cao Cao established a clinic, a military academy, and academy, and countless students were all students under Cao Cao. What would others compete with Cao Cao?

"But, lord doesn't need to worry," Xu Shu, who knew Liu Bei's intentions, smiled wickedly, took a fan and covered his mouth and said beside Liu Bei's low figure, "Although Zhang Feng is a strange man, anyone who is more capable than the master will suffer misfortune!"

Is that true? Liu Bei disagreed.

How did Zhang Feng get the title of madman? Apart from his frequent surprises in doing things, there may not be no contribution to Cao Cao's indulgence and indulgence. If Cao Cao had the intention to deal with Zhang Feng, his head would be chopped down even if he had been cut off. How could he reach his current status?

Seeing Liu Bei's disbelief expression, Xu Shu also guessed what he was thinking.

"Originally, Cao Thief indulged Zhang Feng in doing whatever he wanted, because the two had been together for a long time and had a deep friendship. Zhang Feng was the son-in-law of Cao Thief, and the other was because Cao Thief could not live without a strange man like Zhang Feng who was both literary and martial."

After a pause, Liu Bei found that Xu Shu admired Zhang Feng's taste, and called Cao Cao the whole name of Cao thief Cao thief; but Zhang Feng had never heard him call him "Zhang thief".

"But now it's different. Cao Zhe is old and has to consider more for his descendants. Besides Zhang Feng, Cao Zhe now has many talented people, including Wen Xun, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, and even Chen Deng, whom Zhang Feng strongly promoted, is also a talent for the national sage." Sure enough, as if Liu Bei's idea had been fulfilled, Xu Shu also praised while saying, "Wu is not mentioned except for the Cao family's legitimate lineage. Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci, and Zhao Yun are all talented generals. The navy commander Gan Xingba seems to be more arrogant than those in the south. In addition, Lu Bu's rebellious half-Han and half-Hu people can truly submit..."

Xu Shu didn't notice that Liu Bei's face was as heavy as his mood, and said with hope, "If the lord has such a talent to assist..."

"Yuan Zhi hasn't said yet, why is it different now?" Liu Bei interrupted Xu Shu's imagination a little stiffly.

"Lord, Cao thief is also an individual, and he also has to plan for his juniors. Now I heard that he is preparing to train the boss Cao Ang with all his strength, but it seems that his second son is not willing to be lonely... Once Cao thief returns to heaven, there may be something wrong with the Cao family. Besides, Zhang Feng has been much restrained in recent years. Don't the lord think? It seems that he is really a smart person, and he knows that he can no longer be too arrogant at this time..."

This reminded Liu Bei. Indeed, Zhang Feng has become much more dull in recent years. Thinking about the troubles back then, Liu Bei couldn't help but have a slight arc on his lips, and almost slashed Cao Hong in front of Cao Cao, and kicked Cao Cao's second mother. Later, there were some of the most talked about. In front of the emperor and civil and military officials, he shouted loudly in the hall: I'll stop doing it...

"Master."

"Huh?" Liu Bei was still recalling Zhang Feng's past, but he was a little distracted and was pulled back to reality by Xu Shu's voice.

"There will be a chance." When Xu Shu said these five words, the faint smile on his face was gone, and instead he looked calm.

There will be a chance, what does it mean?

However, Liu Bei finally saw the gap between Xu Shu and himself.

Even the dispute over the Cao family affairs had already seen a clue. But he said that when the Cao thief returned to heaven...

It seems that Cao Cao is only a few years older than him?

How long is the road?

Although Liu Bei's army is in good spirits, unfortunately, he has never experienced any real big scenes in Xinye in the past few years. Zhang and Guan only trained their soldiers to maintain morale. It is still very dangerous for such soldiers to fight.

"Yuan Zhi, I heard that Huang Zu has been trapped in Jiangxia for a long time. Cai Mao led his army to relax, but he has been delayed in helping him. What is the reason?"

"Lord, I think Cai Mao must have some idea. However, I don't know it, and there may be any hidden information. However, when I heard that the lord rescued the army was coming, Cai Mao had already taken action. But then again, the Jiangdong army dared to surround Jiangxia with only 30,000, and watched Cai Mao's 100,000 troops as if nothing was missing. There might be something wrong with this."

"Yuan Zhi means, Sun Quan is playing tricks?"

"Not bad! As I expected, Sun Quan's idea was to use Cheng Pu's army as bait to catch reinforcements from Xiangyang. Otherwise, how could he dare to be in the gap between 100,000 reinforcements and Jiangxia City?"

"Then... how should our army deal with it? If we rescue each other rashly, we may not say that the wounded soldiers and generals will be tripped by Cai Mao."

"Hehe, lord, don't worry, I've decided to make the Jiangdong Army return without success!"

Although Jiangxia City is close, it took Cai Mao's army three days to appear in Cheng Pujun's sight, and then began to log in to camp, looking like a long-term resistance.

"Did Cai Mao really see through the lord's plan or have other plans?"

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals looked at each other.

They are not vague in war, but when it comes to using tricks to play with evil things... it seems that no one is in action. Cheng Pu is a wise general in the army, and he doesn't know, who else knows?

Unfortunately, that person might know, but he was embarrassed to ask him...

As Xu Shu expected, this time the dispatch of troops to attack Jiangxia was just a cover. The real killing move was actually to attack Zhou Yu's army in Linxiang in detail. If Xiangyang really sent reinforcements, it would happen to be Zhou Yu's plan.

Otherwise, how dare 30,000 people attack Jiangxia County? Even if they really fight, they can't defend it. If the reinforcements from Xiangyang arrive in Jiangxia, the cavalry can run back and forth within five days!

At first, Sun Quan and others knew very well that this time they just wanted to eat Liu Biao's life power, but now it seems...

Has the other party seen through it?

"Report to the general that the enemy has set up camp and is leading the army to drown the war on the opposite side!"

It's still here!

Cheng Pu smiled slightly and gave Huang Gai a look of peace.

Huang Gai waved his fist with some joy and annoyance, put his helmet on his head with a white bridle exposed, and pouted in his mouth with words that only he could hear: "It's cheap for this kid!"
