Xu You left Changsha City, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's people did not stop him.

Instead, they were really let go back to Liu Zheng's camp.

As soon as Liu Zheng saw Xu You returning, he immediately summoned Xu You and wanted to hear Xu You talk about the situation in Changsha City.

"Ziyuan, you're back, tell me what's going on in the city? Is that guy willing to surrender? ”

As soon as Xu You entered the camp, Liu Zheng immediately asked Xu You.

However, Xu You's serious face at this time made Liu Zheng feel a little bad, and he immediately shook his head when he saw Xu You, and then answered.

"The lord's situation is not good, Cai Mao's family has no intention of surrendering at all, and it seems that he has some grudges against the lord, as if he has no good impression of the protagonist, I don't know if there are outsiders present, and more importantly, this time Cai Mao of Changsha City is not the main force, but another younger general."

"Cai Mao doesn't surrender, this is what I thought of from the beginning, and it is reasonable, but what do you mean by the younger general."

Liu Zheng frowned and asked, Xu You didn't dare to delay, so he immediately told his every move when he entered Changsha City this time, which made the strategists and generals present a little annoyed after hearing it.

"How can this be reasonable, this guy is so arrogant, does he really think that our army is vegetarian and dare not attack the city?"

Tai Shici is young and vigorous, and now he has become the commander of a battalion, and his personality is still somewhat young and uninhibited, and he is naturally a little unable to sit still in the face of such ridicule from the enemy.

"That young general replied in place of Cai Mao, in my opinion, his identity is definitely not low, maybe he is the person sent by Liu Biao to assist Cai Mao's defense, according to that age, with my understanding of the various characters in Liu Biao's army, there should only be two people."

"One is Liu Biao's eldest son named Liu Qi, who is deeply loved by Liu Biao, and was also trained in the army by Liu Biao a few days ago, and the other is Liu Biao's nephew named Zhang Yun, who was in charge of the defense of soldiers and horses in Nanjun before, if Liu Biao sent additional personnel in Changsha County, I think it would only be one of the two."

Xu You also has a certain understanding of the people under Liu Biao's command.

So when he saw the young general in Changsha City, he immediately guessed, and quickly locked the identity of that person on Liu Qi and Zhang Yun.

"Liu Qi, Zhang Yun."

Liu Zheng heard Xu You's words, and nodded subconsciously, although he didn't know whether Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi was an adult at this time, but from the time Xu You said this, he could probably think that Cai Mao in Changsha City had probably lost the initiative.

"In this way, Liu Biao already knew that we would attack, and he had already arranged in advance to let his cronies come to Changsha to guard against our attack?"

"Yes, lord, the general's tone is very confident, if he wants to hold Changsha with great certainty, I think, it should be the people they transferred from other places, after all, we are going to Yuzhang County to gather troops and horses, then Liu Biao's spies received the news, it is impossible to be completely unmoved, in my opinion, this Changsha City wants to fight down, it is not easy."

Although Xu You didn't know the other party's confident hole cards, he could guess the other party's confidence through the tone of Cai Mao's words.

can be so easy and not afraid of Liu Zheng's 30,000 army attack, in Changsha City, at least there are more soldiers and horses than Liu Zheng's men.

"Let our spies report on the recent situation in Jingzhou."

Liu Biao has planted a lot of spies in Yangzhou, and Liu Zheng is naturally the same, he asked Yuan Zhou to start to plant fine work across the country a few years ago, although the remote Xiliang, Bingzhou, Youzhou and other places, Liu Zheng's spies have not been placed there, but in the neighboring Jingzhou area, the number of spies is quite a lot.

Soon, Liu Zheng's order was to let those who were sent to Jingzhou come over to report the information during this time.

After waiting here for two hours, Liu Zheng secretly sent a few of them to various parts of Jingzhou, and they had already received contact and came to Liu Zheng's military camp to meet Liu Zheng.

The two fine workers who came were farmers dressed as peasants.

These two people are farmers planted by Yuan Zhou near Changsha County, and there are still a few in Changsha City, but now that Changsha City is under martial law, it is difficult for Liu Zheng's spies to send out information, so they can only ask the spies planted outside the city first.

The two fine workers entered the camp and immediately greeted Liu Zheng, Yuan Zhou and others.

Liu Zheng waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and asked directly about the situation in Jingzhou.

"You two tell me quickly, there has been any change in Jingzhou, especially in Changsha County, recently."

Liu Zheng's inquiry quickly made these two fine works answer.

"My lord, since this period of time, there have been many changes in Changsha County, and I have reported these changes to Lord Yuan Zhou, such as Cai Mao Taishou vigorously recruited soldiers and horses in Changsha County, and the number of recruits in a year alone is as high as 20,000. He has at least 60,000 soldiers and horses, but 30,000 of them are in Changsha County, and the rest are arranged in the south to defend our soldiers and horses in Jiaozhou. ”

"And, in the past half a month, Cai Mao ordered the personnel of some nearby counties to evacuate the county seat and all of them to Changsha City, resulting in all the people in the nearby counties being empty, and Changsha City gathered county soldiers from several nearby counties, which greatly increased the garrison strength in Changsha City."

One of them quickly told Liu Zheng what he had learned.

Liu Zheng thought about it this way, and he understood a little, and collected some county soldiers from several nearby county towns, although there are not many county soldiers in a county seat, at most two thousand people, but if four or five county soldiers and horses are gathered, it is also a large number.

Changsha County itself has 30,000 soldiers and horses garrisoned, if there are soldiers and horses from other counties, plus some brave people from other counties, once a battle breaks out, in this Changsha city, at least 50,000 people can be gathered in a short period of time.

On Liu Zheng's side, there are only 30,000 people, and if 30,000 people are defending the city, it is naturally possible, but now that they are attacking the city, it seems to be a little stretched.

"I said why is Cai Mao so calm, it turns out that he has these preparations, if he says so, he really has a great possibility that he can defend this Changsha City."

After Liu Zheng listened to these words, he understood a little in his heart.

"By the way, I heard Xu You say that there is a general in the city, is it Liu Qi or Zhang Yun?"
