My husband Zhuge Kongming

"Kong Ming is right, third brother, don't be anxious." Seeing Zhang Fei sit down, Liu Bei smiled helplessly and comforted him.

Zhang Fei has made progress over the years.

There is progress as there is progress, but this reckless temperament has not changed, but fortunately, he will no longer be rash on the battlefield.

Everyone in the venue smiled kindly.

Obviously, they knew Zhang Fei's temper very well. Although he had already married and started a business, his temper was still like that of a child at times.

Huang Yueying naturally laughed, and then spoke, "In addition to this news, there are several other pieces of news that have just been sent to the trading company."

Everyone looked at Huang Yueying, and saw the latter saying, "Sima Yi has returned to Yecheng from the land of Youzhou, and brought back 50,000 soldiers and horses and tens of thousands of stones and grain, and the people guarding Youzhou are This is Gongsun Zan’s former subordinate, Tian Yu.”

Liu Bei above was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "It's actually the country's surrender!"

Tian Yu, courtesy name Guorang.

In the early years, when Liu Bei defected to Gongsun Zan, Tian Yu once trusted Liu Bei. However, when Liu Bei was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou by Tao Qian, Tian Yu returned to his hometown because his mother was old.

After returning to his hometown, Tian Yu was appointed by Gongsun Zan as the magistrate of Shoudong County to help Gongsun Zan resist Yuan Shao's attack.

Later, when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were competing for power, Tian Yu directly asked Xian Yufu, who was acting as the governor of Liaodong, to defect to Cao Cao. As a result, Tian Yu was recruited as an advisor to the Prime Minister's Office, appointed Yingyin and Langlingling, and was promoted to the governor of Yiyang. He was trusted by Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao asked Tian Yu to guard Youzhou because Tian Yu had always been very prestigious in Youzhou.

Huang Yueying nodded, "However, according to the news, the soldiers guarding Youzhou now are tenant farmers and private slaves registered by Sima Yi from the aristocratic family."

At this time, there was a discussion in the venue.

Liu Bei also frowned, "Achu means that the original Youzhou defenders were taken away?"

"Yes." Huang Yueying nodded, "These new soldiers are originally from Youzhou, and some of them may not be willing to rebel against Cao Cao. In addition, Cao Pi's previous commitment to the Northland family, if there is to be a war in the Northland, we will still It’s going to take a good big win.”

Everyone nodded.

"Last month, the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou were also replaced by this method. Most of these soldiers and horses gathered in Hanoi. The person who led these soldiers and horses was Cao Xiu." Huang Yueying said again, "Xuzhou, Cao Pi, the son of Cao Cao, was guarding Qingzhou, while Qingzhou was guarded by his grandson Yanlong. Most of the state's soldiers and horses were replaced by new tenant farmers and private slaves. In short, if we encounter Cao's army, the proportion of new soldiers in his army will be Minimize it.”

At this time, everyone frowned.

Originally, they thought that the proportion of new soldiers in Cao Cao's army would be very high, but now they had to lament that Cao Cao's methods had matured.

In this war-torn era, most of the defenders in various places have experienced war.

In this way, the combat effectiveness of Cao Cao's army will increase significantly.

"At the same time, his third son Cao Zhang has also trained a new army that is not afraid of death." Huang Yueying released another news, "It consumes a lot of money and food, but its combat power cannot be underestimated."

After saying this, an attendant brought a huge map, and Huang Yueying's notes were already on it.

This time, everyone's expressions became solemn again.

Although they knew that Cao Cao was difficult to deal with, it was indeed much more difficult to deal with than their previous opponents. Even Liu Bei, after looking at it carefully, sighed, "As expected of Cao Mengde."

It can be said that the arrangements here and there are already the best that the other party can do at this time.

The big families in the North will not show up at this time, but they may not be able to respond to his side until there is a clear winner on the battlefield.

"However," Zhuge Liang spoke and looked at Liu Bei, "Master, there is no need to worry. In this battle, we are fighting to welcome the Emperor. General Gan had drawn a map near the river and explored the road a month ago. The ambush is ready."

Liu Bei's face instantly looked much better, "In this battle, we have to rely more on Xingba."

"General Gan will give priority to the frontal battle and report the results of the battle. By then, the families in the North will know what to do. Even if Cao Cao still pacifies the North, he will have to pay a lot of price." Pang Tong also smiled. He answered, implying that Liu Bei shouldn't worry too much.

With these two advisers, Liu Bei's mood was indeed much more stable.

Everyone in the venue was just like Liu Bei, with a lot less worries.

"The land east of the river," Zhuge Liang said again, "Cao Cao has prepared 70,000 troops and horses, and has already prepared ships to cross the river. I am afraid that just like previous deductions, he will have to cross south to intercept Hongnong."

Ma Chao was shocked.

Cao Cao is preparing ships, and Guan Yu is also preparing steam boats and steam ships.

If there is a conflict, the ships on Cao Cao's side should be ordinary wooden ships, which cannot withstand Guan Yu's attack!

Only then did he realize that he had been brought into the core meeting by Liu Bei, and he was deeply moved.

It was only his first day in Xuchang, and Liu Bei trusted him so much!

How could he not be moved by this?

"On the Hanoi side, Achu has just mentioned it, and on the Xuchang side, Cao Cao should put his focus here." Zhuge Liang pointed at the map again, "Recently, our scouts have discovered many strange people hunting. After arresting and questioning, I learned that he was a scout of Cao Jun."

The war has not yet begun, but the scouts have already begun to fight. From the current point of view, their side has the advantage.

"I wonder how Kong Ming and Shi Yuan will arrange it?" Liu Bei asked in a deep voice.

Zhuge Liang smiled and looked at Pang Tong, who also smiled, "Now, Tong and Kongming have hidden a lot of food and grass in the mountains of Xuchang, Chenliu and Chen County. At the same time, between Chen County and Yingchuan We have left a small portion of the road open so that Cao Cao can discover our food route and use it to make a fuss."

The generals quickly found the places Pang Tong mentioned on the map, and were surprised. This was simply a plan to dig a hole for Cao Cao to jump into.

So, everyone looked at Pang Tong more and did not expect that Pang Tong's appearance was not good, but his heart was almost as bad as Zhuge Liang's.

Zhuge Liang's status in Liu Bei's group has been infinitely higher since the time he led Zhao Yun to guard Xuchang and seriously injured Cao Cao.

"There are also several crossbows and chariots arranged in this dense forest." Pang Tong continued, "and many soldiers and armors."

"That dense forest is under the control of Cao Cao. How did you get it in?" Ma Chao couldn't help but ask.

"Although there are heavy taxes on the business between the merchant house and the North, Cao Cao cannot help it." Huang Yueying explained with a smile. In this way, it would be convenient for them to hide something within Cao Cao's sphere of influence.

No one would have thought that they would hide supplies in these places!

Unless the other party is really lucky and accidentally discovers it, but for now, Cao Cao definitely has not discovered it.
