Chapter 762: Xiangyang's Subtlety
Liu Bei was silent, he didn't know what he was going to do.
Jian Yong asked Lang Zhong to go out to prepare medicinal herbs, and ordered him not to leak the news.
Lang Zhong knows that if he talks too much, his life will definitely not be guaranteed, and as a Lang Zhong, he has also come into contact with many patients, and he has seen all kinds of messy diseases, and Lang Zhong still has the morality of protecting the privacy of patients.
Lang Zhong is actually feeling sorry for Liu Bei, a big man is injured there, I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything in the future. Now he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.
Jian Yong regretted that he shouldn't have done what Liu Bei wanted. If Jian Yong had been tough at that time and refused Liu Bei's request, then Liu Bei would not have had such a thing.
Liu Bei is a model of self-inflicted sin that cannot live.
Things have come to this point, Jian Yong and Liu Bei can't blame anyone, Liu Bei can only treat with peace of mind. After this time, Liu Bei will not be close to women when his descendants have not fully recovered. I don't know if the following functions can still be used.
Xiangyang, it seems to be very stable. But in the top building of Xiangyang, Cai Mao, Liu Cong and a large number of officials at the top of the power pyramid were terrified.
Liu Bei failed to resist Liu Yu, Liu Bei's various strategies were seen through by Liu Yu, Nanyang did not resist for long and fell into the hands of Liu Yu, Liu Bei fled to Jiangxia in embarrassment, and survived!
When the news came, Cai Mao, as the actual person in power, decisively ordered all news to be blocked in Xiangyang, and strangers were strictly forbidden to enter Xiangyang. This method still has some effect, at least among the people of Xiangyang, almost no one knows about the fall of Nanyang.
However, Liu Yu had already arranged for the spies of the "dark department" to enter Xiangyang, and Cai Mao's response was useless at all.
After a short period of stability, rumors about Xiangyang began to spread.
Nanyang was captured, and the soldiers of the Shenwu Heavenly Son pointed directly at Xiangyang City.
The people of Xiangyang, who had enjoyed peace for a long time, immediately exploded, they didn't expect Nanyang to fall so quickly. Nanyang County is a county with strong troops, with a large number of troops, and there is also the world-famous Uncle Liu Huang, who is in charge, saying that it is impossible to have no strength, otherwise how dare Liu Qi sit in Nanyang before and Cai Mao of Xiangyang. The people felt that even if Nanyang couldn't hold it, it would be able to hold out for a few months. Not only the people think so, but many families and officials in Jingzhou, including Cai Mao, also thought so before. But being captured so easily, is there resistance?
At the end of the day, there are only two reasons to explain. Either Liu Bei is not worthy of his name and is too incompetent. Either the army of the Shenwu Imperial Court is too terrifying, and it directly crushes it with its strength. If it is the first one, then Xiangyang still has hope of resisting, Liu Bei is incompetent, it does not mean that the entire Jingzhou is incompetent, Xiangyang has been operating for many years, and it is okay to resist it. But if it's the second one, the pressure on Xiangyang's side will be greater. Liu Yu is known as a million-strong army, and everyone is a little forced to count the actual number of troops, and there are 200,000 in the sky. Even Uncle Liu Huang, who is famous all over the world, can't resist for long under Liu Yu, the son of Shenwu, you call Cai Mao, who is already a little straw bag, to resist Liu Yu? There are also all the families in Jingzhou who are not so peaceful, and they all began to act as wall grass, and to resist Liu Yu in this situation is to send them to death.
The people did not doubt the truth of the rumors at all, they all believed it. The people in the deep troubled times are very sensitive to war, and the Han Dynasty has fought for so many years, and there has been a war that is beneficial to the people. For the sake of their own lives, many people decided to leave Xiangyang immediately. The four gates of Xiangyang were already crowded, and the people left Xiangyang to go to what they felt safe. Moreover, some restless families and officials took advantage of this rare opportunity to send their henchmen to contact the army of the Shenwu Imperial Court with their own handwritten letters to show their loyalty and leave a path for their glory and wealth. The people were in turmoil, and the defenders in charge of the city gate couldn't stop it, so they had no choice but to send the news back to the Assassin's Mansion.
Such a big thing happened in Xiangyang, Cai Mao definitely wouldn't be unaware.
Cai Mao was shocked, he didn't expect that he had already taken countermeasures, but he hadn't stopped the enemy from taking a walk. Now that such a big thing has happened, Cai Mao has to calm people's hearts. The Jingzhou army soon pasted notices on the streets and alleys, indicating that the situation in Nanyang was good, and everything was in the hands of Lord Assassin Shi, and the news circulating here was a rumor, and Lord Assassin Shi would strictly investigate and arrest the lawbreakers, and told the people to be at ease and not to be used by the lawbreakers. But now, who would still believe in this kind of thing, if the people believe it, they will directly bring the soldiers and horses over and defeat Liu Yu's army.
Cai Mao can't stabilize the situation in a formal way at all, not to mention that some well-intentioned people are constantly secretly fueling the troubles, making the situation in the entire Xiangyang chaotic. Cai Mao may be weak and incompetent against powerful enemies, but when dealing with opponents who are weaker than himself, his ruthlessness is not covered.
The notice was of no use to the people, and Cai Mao directly used the strong one, and sent a large number of soldiers and horses to drive all the people at the city gate back. It's okay if you don't go back, then you don't have to go back. Cai Mao directly took these people into custody. The one who dares to go against the government is definitely Diao Min, this is Cai Mao's understanding. Since he is Diao Min, why is he Cai Dadu still polite to you?
Cai Mao is also benevolent, he will not do anything to kill innocents indiscriminately, after all, these people are bewitched. At the same time, Liu Yu's army will arrive at any time, and Cai Mao feels that there may be a fierce battle in Xiangyang, detaining these Diao people, and letting them go to defend the city as cannon fodder at a critical time.
Big guy, look at how merciful Cai Mao is. At least that's what Cai Mao thinks herself.
Cai Mao was ruthless this time, and many people would be arrested, and the effect of killing chickens and monkeys was huge. As soon as the people saw that the situation was not right, they immediately returned to their homes and hid.
A few henchmen of some forces were also very unlucky to be caught by the troops arranged by Cai Mao. The masters behind them immediately became calm, and if they continued to move, I am afraid that Cai Mao would suspect them.
Cai Mao's resolute and resolute actions quickly stabilized the situation in Xiangyang. Cai Mao felt how wise and martial he was, and he had to be ruthless in dealing with these Diao people, otherwise they would think that Jingzhou was not his Cai Mao in charge.
After a busy day, Cai Mao was also tired, and when he wanted to rest, Cai Mao's sister, Cai's sister, Cai's family, ordered someone to come over to talk to him.
Cai Mao reluctantly got up and went to the Assassin's Mansion, who told him that he was not the real nominal master of Jingzhou now, and there were some things that had to be done.
