Lu's relatives

Chapter 621 Jingxiang Piyi Yi, the momentum is like a broken bamboo ([-])
Cai Zhong didn't make Liu Biao wait too long.Just after Kuai Yue, who was full of worries, calmed Liu Biao's emotions, he took Liu Biao's warrant to go to Pinghe. He had been hungry for almost three days, and his morale had almost dropped to freezing point. When the soldiers of the army collapsed.In Liu Biao's heart, Cai Zhong's subordinate was already calling for a thousand times, but as Kuai Yue said, he contacted Liu Biao at almost galloping speed in the evening of that day.

It is learned that Cai Zhong is already in Lujiang at this moment.The headquarters of Liu Biao are already across the river, and those who are "very lucky" have not been harassed by Danyang soldiers or pursuers behind them, but Liu Biao, who is in a predicament due to lack of soldiers and food, has long been caught by his subordinates like a drowning man. The last straw was almost ecstatic urging Cai Zhong's soldiers who came to report their whereabouts to Liu Biao to return quickly, so that Cai Zhong should seize the time to lead troops to "King Qin", and at the same time, must bring enough food!
Cai Zhong simply did not foresee the seriousness of the situation.Therefore, although he did not dare to disobey Liu Biao's military orders, he really underestimated the situation Liu Biao encountered this time.As a result, after collecting all the ships in Lujiang County, taking advantage of Zang Ba's "not paying attention" and rushing past Jiang to join forces with Liu Biao at the fastest speed, when the squeezed out three-day army rations were hastily divided, it was equivalent to three ships in Liu Biao's headquarters. Ten thousand troops plus ten thousand soldiers from Jiangling, but only half a meal on weekdays.Liu Biao and Cai Zhong, who are well-clothed and well-fed, naturally don’t understand that after a few meals alone, it will pass after a few meals. Ordinary discomfort is actually the worst.The soldiers of Liu Biao's headquarters, who had been starving for a long time, had originally hoped that Cai Zhong's army would return, and at worst they would be able to eat enough to fight back to Xiangyang, but who would have thought that they only got this bit of reluctance.For Ben Junpaoze, who was not very luscious on weekdays, this toss was not life-saving but torture!

Fortunately, Liu Biao's prestige in the army has accumulated for several years, and he has repeatedly stated that after saving Xiangyang, he must reward the three armies, so as to suppress this resentment.Before Lieutenant General Cai could deliberate and clarify the situation in Yuzhang County, he ignored Kuai Yue's repeated dissuasion to first go to Jiangling for supplies and then go to Xiangyang. He wanted to use the [-]-strong army that had joined forces in one place, and use the morale that was only inspired to attack Xiangyang.

Liu Biao didn't know that what Kuai Yue said was a way of seeking the country, which was very reasonable.It's just that Liu Biao couldn't swallow the breath in his heart. As a clan member of the Han family whose roots are upright and Miaohong, he has been the emperor of the land in Jingxiang for so many years. Someone surrendered immediately, and when did Liu Biao, who has been pampered and pampered since then, be bullied like this?If this is spread, it will be considered that everyone understands his difficulties and does not laugh at his futile efforts. The total number of hatchbacks is nearly [-], and it is a pitiful thing that people plan to go back and forth without gaining any benefits.But if he wanted to win the supreme position among the crowd of heroes, it would definitely be even more difficult.

Liu expressed that all he wanted was to regain his face.The lion is still fighting the rabbit with all its strength, but Liu Biao is also ruthless this time.Seeing that the half-filled army had gained some strength, Liu Biao ordered that Cai Zhong's troops be the vanguard, led by Cai Zhong and Cai Mao brothers, and go to Xiangyang first; At last, it is necessary to break the siege of Xiangyang within one day, then counterattack Jiangling, and drive Xuzhou soldiers out of Jingzhou.

Liu Biao's idea is very good.And it seems to have been well thought out.At least after listening to what Kuai Yue said before, he didn't continue to shout at Lu Bujun, and changed the pursuit to expel. Not a lot.Kuai Yue was well aware of Liu Biao's temper, seeing Liu Biao's stubbornness, he no longer had the attitude of respectful and virtuous corporal he had a few hours ago, and he didn't show any anger, just sighed deeply. With a single sound, he did not continue to remonstrate.

The march of more than [-] troops alone is nearly ten miles long. To complete the seventy miles, it does not take a lot of time, but it is only because of the previous rounds of tossing and the fact that Cai Zhong's troops are after all The forced march came hundreds of miles from Yuzhang. The soldiers were already exhausted. Despite Liu Biao's urging and rewards, it was almost midnight before they marched one after another and set up camp outside Xiangyang City. rest.

The closer he was to Xiangyang, the greater the anger in Liu Biao's heart. Now that he was at the base of the city, he was staring at the Xuzhou military camp a few miles away. Liu Biao only felt that the evil fire kept rushing upwards for the word "big beetle".I just want to wipe out the hateful thieves in this big camp in one fell swoop.However, according to the information, after all, more than 2 Xuzhou soldiers arrived, including cavalry, who had already surrounded Xiangyang, and the soldiers had enough food and supplies from Jiangling. Soldiers who are as tired as soft-legged shrimps can win by virtue of their superiority in numbers.

"My lord, do you have something on your mind?" Liu Biao has been staring at the dimly lit Xuzhou military camp for a long time, and the people around him are afraid to get close for fear of touching Liu Biao's bad luck. The only person who could talk to Liu Biao was his brother-in-law, Cai Mao, who was closest to and relied on most in the whole army.

"Didn't Degui ask this knowingly? Your family and I are all in the city, and have been surrounded by bandits for several days. We must be very panicked. As the heads of two families, you and I have an army of tens of thousands, but we are facing the bandits who are close at hand." Soldiers have nothing to do, how can they be free from worries?" Ever since Liu Biao and Cai Mao's elder sister got married, they were old husband and young wife, and they loved each other very much. Therefore, under the love of the house and the blackness, they were quite close to Cai Mao, and that's why they chose to take sides when Huang Zu and Cai Mao were fighting each other. brother-in-law.Hearing Cai Mao's question at this moment undoubtedly aroused the aggrieved matter in his heart.

"Brother-in-law has the face of the Son of Heaven, he is the person whom all the scholars in the world aspire to, and he has countless heroes. It's just that he is unlucky by chance, and he will surely turn the calamity into good fortune!" Cai Mao seemed to be affected by Liu Biao's lamentation. some influence.The Cai family is already attached to Liu Biao, and it is a relationship in which one is prosperous and the other is hurt. Just now, he told his brothers not to tell the truth about Yuzhang's defeat. Feeling a little guilty towards Liu Biao.Besides, in Cai Mao's eyes, the Xuzhou soldiers who came in this sneak attack would not be opponents of our army, so he said to Liu Biao half flatteringly with [-]% sincerity.

"Listening to De Gui, is there any good way to make someone get angry?" Liu Biao thought he knew about his brother-in-law.In terms of military affairs, there is more than enough than the top, and more than the bottom, and the strategy is also so-so. The only thing that Liu Biao relies on Cai Mao is that Cai Mao has shown the most quick-wittedness in front of Liu Biao. Ability, the most proficient.But at this moment, Liu Biao was angry, and Cai Mao, who used to have the most eye-catching eyes, followed closely, and his intentions were naturally self-evident.

"My lord, I've taken a good look at my younger brother! My younger brother is less talented, his writing is not as good as Mr. Yidu, his martial arts is not as good as Brother Zhongye, and his command of the army is even worse than that of General Huang Zuhuang. Just now, I just had a few small questions suddenly. Seeing that the lord frowned tightly, he spoke nonsense, now that he thinks about it...it's just a fool's opinion, it's better not to say it!" Seeing that Liu Biao was attracted by his words, Cai Mao was secretly happy, but his face was full of anger. It's hard to show a bit of trouble.

"Degui, but it's okay to say, even if it's wrong, you and my brother, I won't blame you!" The more Cai Mao looked like this, the more irritable Liu Biao felt in his heart that Cai Mao must have a good plan. But according to his cautious temperament, because he was afraid of his own dignity, he was afraid of being scolded by himself if he said something wrong, so he didn't dare to speak.Liu Biao calmed down and said.

"Since my brother-in-law said so, let's try to say it!" Cai Mao showed a loyal minister who could not repay his kindness, pretending to think for a while, and said: "This time we have returned to the city of Xiangyang as soldiers. Well, the lord may have considered that our army was exhausted from a long distance away and it was late at night, so he didn't order to take Xiangyang back immediately. This was a very safe decision, and it could also prevent the other party from sneaking at night. But... But I don't know if the lord has thought about it, the other party Are you just like me, taking the opportunity to rest?"

"What's the meaning of Degui's words? Could it be that you can't persuade someone to do something..." Liu Biao was aggrieved because his own army was three times stronger than Xuzhou's soldiers, but he could only watch and couldn't do anything. Cai Mao's words It simply spoke to Liu Biao's heart.It's just that Liu Biao still has some worries in his heart. After all, Xuzhou soldiers were able to kill Xiangyang City in such a short period of time. Two brushes, Liu Biao still talked to Kuai Yue about the prestige of Qin Xu and his Xuzhou soldiers during the day, it is always right to be careful in such important matters.

"Hao dare not persuade the Lord about military matters! I was just thinking that Xuzhou soldiers are also flesh and blood. No matter how strong their combat power is, they are already tired during the day, and they have to beware of others stealing the camp in the middle of the night. It's hard work. I just don't know that Xuzhou soldiers who have worked so hard may have the possibility of avoiding the enemy's small group of enemy soldiers who came to attack the battalion. But if they encounter night raiders, their army strength will be more than three times What about the soldiers?" Seeing that Liu Biao had actually moved his heart, Cai Mao said with a smile: "It's probably possible that the camp roar will happen, and it might increase the fighting power of these thieves, isn't it certain!?"

"Haha! What Degui said is good!" Liu Biao nodded approvingly, looked at Cai Mao's more humble expression, and was even more satisfied in his heart. He pondered for a while, took out half of the bronze tiger charm from his sleeve, and stroked it for a while. , solemnly handed it over to Cai Mao, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, even if I am a tired army from afar, but taking advantage of the darkness of night, I may not be afraid of his Xuzhou soldiers going. As long as If you can break through the siege of these thieves, enter Xiangyang City, and receive military rations to recuperate, even if Lu Bu and Qin Xu come in person, what would you be afraid of!"
