Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 88 The more miserable Liu Bei’s battle is, the greater his hope will be in the future.

The Battle of Nanyang was officially declared over soon.

Cao Mengde won the victory with an absolute advantage. Everyone in Jingzhou was shocked by Cao Mengde's strength, and the endless means made them feel chilled.

When Cai Mao brought the news back to Xiangyang, Liu Biao, who had not lost his composure for a long time, turned gloomy in public for the first time.

And the staff under his command have strengthened a certain belief in their hearts.

Later, Cai Mao's plan to regain Wancheng ended before it even started. News from Kuai Yue informed Xiangyang of Liu Bei's dispatch of troops and the withdrawal of Cao's army from Wancheng.

Although this saved Liu Biao's little face, it made Liu Biao's face even more ugly.

It took a long time before the smile continued to appear on his face.

"Hahaha, he is indeed my virtuous brother. He is worthy of Liu Xuande, whose reputation for benevolence and righteousness is spread all over the world. Very good!"

"I've been feeling a little unwell recently. Pang Ji, please go to Nanyang on my behalf and be sure to comfort my virtuous brother Xuande."

"Also, tell him that the affairs in Wancheng are complicated, so he doesn't need to continue to worry about it.

I will let the aliens come to appease the people of Wancheng. "

After Liu Biao finished speaking, he waved his hand and told everyone to leave. It seemed that he didn't even have the energy to say another word.

As for Cai Mao, he seemed to want to say something more, but when he saw Liu Biao's face and the suppressed anger in his eyes, he immediately bowed and retreated.

As the last person to exit the hall, Cai Hao even faintly heard the roaring sound.
"Jingzhou belongs to me, and I'm not dead yet!"

It seemed that Cai Mao couldn't hear this sentence clearly, and he didn't intend to continue listening.

Cao's army in Wancheng withdrew directly from Bowang. At the same time, Xiahou Dun continued to sit in the area from Bowang to Ye County, and started a new round of confrontation with Jingzhou.

Gao Lan was left by Xiahou Dun's side as deputy general, while Lu Chang temporarily served as Xiahou Dun's lieutenant and joined Xiahou Dun's camp as a general.

Because Cao Mengde wanted to completely regain the north this time, he mobilized all the troops and horses he could mobilize.

Except for Li Dian who continued to be responsible for escorting grain and grass, Yu Jin, Zhang He, Cheng Yu and others all rushed to the camp to stand by.
And Liu Bei was able to walk towards Jingnan with his few soldiers, horses, generals and troops and baggage.

Zhao Yun took Gao Xiang to stay in Xinye to train the cavalry and take care of Xinye affairs.

Huo Jun and Xu Shu continued to garrison Fancheng, and Liao Li, who had disappeared for a long time, also successfully broke into the interior of Xiangyang during this time, cleared all the connections, and got him a new appointment.

The magistrate of Nanyang County assisted Kuai Yue in stabilizing the people of Nanyang County. It is said that in addition to his own efforts in this appointment, Kuai Yue and the Kuai family behind him also silently contributed.

It allowed Liu Bei to see the capabilities of the Kuai clan in Jingzhou.
In the following days, Jingzhou seemed to be really quiet, but the other side was not so quiet.

Cangwu County in Jiaozhou, although I dare not say that it is located in a remote area, it is already part of Jiaozhou after all, and a lot of news is exchanged very slowly.

For example, after the Battle of Nanyang was over, the news Zhuge Liang got here was that Zhao Yun had killed Zhang Xiu.
"Mr. Kong Ming!" Wei Yan rushed to Zhuge Liang in a hurry, and took a picture of a letter in front of him with a look of urgency, "The news just came that the lord and General Zhang brought thousands of new The recruited barbarians are going to rescue Wancheng!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the date on the letter and shook his head helplessly.

"It's been half a month. My lord knows the importance of speed. It can take as little as seven days and as many as ten days to reach Wancheng. The battle should be over by now."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Wei Yan's face was obviously a little unhappy.

"It's all because Mr. Kong Ming insisted on letting a certain family wait in Jiaozhou. If a certain family was still with the lord, they would definitely not make the lord so embarrassed.

Before rescuing Nanyang, you, sir, also said that Nawan City was in danger, and it was Cao Mengde's plan.Now that the lord is rushing forward, he will definitely suffer heavy losses! "

Seeing Wei Yan with a somewhat anxious and angry expression on his face, Zhuge Liang didn't blame him, because he was really familiar with this character.

He, Wei Wenchang, is not convinced by anyone in the world. His character is the one who met their lord, but I am afraid that anyone else would not be reused.

Perhaps Wei Yan himself understood this truth. From the beginning, he not only placed himself in the position of a general, but also seemed to be more like a general in his family.

If they hadn't both been staunch Northern Expeditioners in their previous lives, it would have been difficult for them to get together.

"Chang Wen, you can rest assured. Although we don't have you, Wen Chang, in this battle, we still have Xu Yuanzhi.

Yuan Zhi will also not sit back and watch his lord fail, so you can rest assured. "

"Sir, it's easy to say it. There are only a few thousand newly recruited barbarians under the lord's command. What can these people do even if Xu Yuanzhi has great abilities?

That's what my lord has to stabilize Jingnan."

"When did my lord need soldiers and horses to stabilize Jingnan?" Zhuge Liang suddenly interrupted Wei Yan's thoughts with this sentence, "Or, when did Liang say that he would go to war with Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou?"

"What do you mean sir?"

“The lord needs soldiers and horses, but as the saying goes, it’s better to have more troops than more troops.

Now Jingzhou still belongs to Liu Jingsheng. The more soldiers and horses the lord has in his hands, the more uncomfortable it becomes for Liu Jingsheng.

Rather than being forced by Liu Jingsheng then, it would be better to win the hearts and minds of Jingzhou people.

This time, Liang did it on purpose. Liang knew that the lord would definitely not be able to accept someone who was useless under his command.

But now is really not the time to accumulate power and gather troops.

Now we should raise food and supplies, save money and food, and make more preparations.

When the time comes, the military and horse forces will naturally become a matter of course. "

".So you deliberately transferred a certain family here?" Wei Yan's eyes already had a different taste, "How dare you plot against the master?"

"Sir, this is not a plot against the lord, it's just a plan for a rainy day."

At this time, before Zhuge Liang could speak, a childish voice appeared from the side, and the nephew Zhou Buyi who made Liu Xian worried came directly in front of Wei Yan.

"Don't worry, General Wei, we have already made adequate preparations.

The more desolate and miserable the Duke of Xuande was in this battle, and the more heavy the casualties were, the more the people of Jingzhou felt sorry for him, and the more popular the Duke of Xuande became in Jingzhou.

Cao Mengde wanted to capture Jingzhou by intimidating the powerful families in Jingzhou, so if we want to capture Jingzhou under such circumstances.

We can only start with the people’s support! "

"My lord."

"Don't worry, the lord knows nothing about this. He is such a person that people can't understand."
