Chapter 493: Soldiers and Horses Dynamics

The mobilization of troops and horses on Liu Zheng's side naturally caused Liu Biao's nervousness.

After all, the military movements of tens of thousands of horses must not be able to hide from Liu Biao, and Liu Biao also has a detailed work in Yangzhou.

When Liu Zheng sent the soldiers and horses to Yangzhou, everyone knew that he was married and would not be nervous, and when the soldiers and horses of Wu County marched towards Yuzhang and stationed, although at the first time, Liu Biao was not nervous, just thinking that it was just an ordinary military change of defense.

But when Liu Zheng gathered tens of thousands of people in Yuzhang, Liu Biao was not calm.

Especially Yuan Shu of Nanyang, who also had 30,000 soldiers in Nanyang, which made Liu Biao have a lot of pressure.

He was vaguely aware of something, but at this time he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only immediately gather his soldiers and prepare to deal with this change.

Xiangyang City, Jingzhou.

In Liu Biao's mansion, Kuai Liang, the chief strategist under Liu Biao's account, hurriedly came to Liu Biao.

After Kuai Liang received the news that Liu Zheng was gathering troops in Yuzhang, he was already very nervous, especially when his spies told him that Yuan Shu, this guy, was also secretly mobilizing troops and horses during this time and forming a way to approach Nanyang.

Although Yuan Shu was very hidden, he did not directly let the large army approach directly in the direction of Nanyang, but secretly dispersed the soldiers and horses into small groups of soldiers and horses, and after a period of time, he transferred one or two thousand people to Nanyang.

But such an action still did not hide Kuai Liang, Kuai Liang was originally a person from Xiangyang, the Kuai family is also a big family in Jingzhou, and there are many branches in Nanyang, and Yuan Shu's plot against Liu Biao has been known by Kuai Liang's secret agents.

Kuai Liang came to Liu Biao's mansion, and Liu Biao was still studying at this time.

Liu Biao is still a relatively talented person, when he was young, he was well-known in the world, respected by the hand, and the reason why Kuai Liang and others were able to surrender to Liu Biao's subordinates was that a large part of them were willing to be impressed by Liu Biao's personality charm.

Liu Biao saw Kuai Liang coming over with a nervous expression, put down the book in his hand, and then got up to ask Kuai Liang.

"Zirou (Kuailiang), why did you come to me in such a hurry?"

Although today's Han family is in decline, this is not about Liu Biao, the court is still the court, he is just a scholar, just take care of his own one-third of an acre.

Although Liu Biao also had ambitions, he only had three counties under his command, and it was difficult to make a difference.

After all, the ambitious Liu Zheng has always been in the south of him, and most of his troops have to defend Liu Zheng, where is there any extra strength to expand the territory.

This situation also made Liu Biao, who originally had some ambitions, gradually lose his fighting spirit and could only indulge in books.

"Lord, something is wrong, my spy reported the news to me, saying that Nanyang and Yuzhang have a large number of soldiers and horses gathered, and it is very likely that Yuan Shu and Liu Zheng colluded and wanted to do something to me in Jingzhou."

Kuai Liang didn't hide it, as soon as he opened his mouth, he said what he wanted to say directly, after all, the situation was urgent, and he didn't have any spare time to talk to Liu Biao about those messy things.

However, after Liu Biao heard Kuai Liang's words, he was not too worried.

"Zirou, don't worry, now the situation in the imperial court has gradually improved, General Lu Zhi has personally gone to Jizhou to judge, some time ago, didn't I hear that the matter in Yanzhou has been resolved, then Yuan Shu only occupies the land of Nanyang and Runan counties, and the soldiers and horses have suffered heavy losses, and now there are only thirty or forty thousand people left, but we still have 70,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, so don't be too afraid of Yuan Shu."

"Lord, the problem is not Yuan Shu, I don't care about Yuan Shu yet, the problem is that Liu Zheng."

Kuai Liang didn't take Yuan Shu in his eyes from beginning to end, the only thing he was worried about was Liu Zheng, after all, the current Liu Zheng was no longer the Liu Zheng of two years ago.

Two years ago, Liu Zheng only occupied one Jiaozhou, and the entire Jiaozhou was only one million people, and these populations, even if Liu Zheng was all soldiers, would have raised an army of 200,000 at most.

Even if Liu Biao only has three counties, he can completely match Liu Zheng, but now Liu Zheng is different, after occupying Yangzhou, Liu Zheng also ruled Yangzhou for a year, and this year, Liu Zheng can recruit soldiers and horses on a large scale.

At least he can easily recruit more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and if he goes all out to recruit people, an army of 300,000 or 400,000 can be easily pulled.

At that time, Liu Biao was only three counties, and if he wanted to compete with Liu, it would be extremely difficult. Fortunately, Liu Zheng didn't know what was wrong, even if he defeated Yangzhou, he did not recruit soldiers and horses, but only increased 10,000 soldiers and horses.

After calculating it, Liu Zheng can directly mobilize the number of people, that is, 100,000 people, and these 100,000 people have to be stationed in Jiaozhou and Yangzhou respectively, so Kuai Liang is not so worried.

However, with the gathering of troops and horses by Liu Zheng and Yuan Shu, Kuai Liang still knew what Liu Zheng and Yuan Shu wanted to fight, so he came to Liu Biao's side and reported to Liu Biao.

After Liu Biao heard Kuai Liang's words, he became a little nervous, after all, if Kuai Liang said that it was true, then Jingzhou was indeed dangerous.

"Zirou, what's going on with Nanyang's Yuan Shu?"

Liu Biao began to ask about Yuan Shu, wanting to know more news.

Kuai Liang didn't know much about the movement of troops and horses in Nanyang, so he could only tell Liu Biao some of the things he knew now.

"Yuan Shu is very cunning, he did not blatantly gather troops in Nanyang, but let his soldiers and horses gather in batches in various counties and counties in Nanyang, preliminary statistics, there may be more than 30,000 soldiers and horses."

"Thirty thousand soldiers and horses, isn't Huang Zu stationed in Jiangxia, let his men and horses approach in the direction of Nanyang, just guard against Yuan Shu."

Yuan Shu, who has 30,000 soldiers and horses, is no longer enough to cause Liu Biao to make too much movement, after all, he also has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Jiangxia, as long as Huang Zu is there, Yuan Shu's men and horses really don't particularly make him feel tricky.

Only, Liu Zheng, the soldiers and horses here are enough to attract Liu Biao's attention.

"What about Liu Zheng?"

"Liu Zheng didn't say that he was going to attack us, but he Chen soldiers of 40,000 are in Yuzhang County, it is very likely that he wants to unite with Yuan Shu and fight against us together, we need to prepare as soon as possible, otherwise, once Liu Zheng really comes to attack Changsha County, if we don't have enough defense, it will be easy to be directly attacked and killed in Xiangyang."

Kuai Liang reminded again.

"Well, 40,000 soldiers and horses, it is indeed a lot of pressure, he still has soldiers and horses in Guiyang County, and now that he occupies Yangzhou, it is indeed easy to fight our idea of Jingzhou."

"Cai Mao isn't in Changsha,"
