Mu Qing said: "Back to the lord, the shadow is divided into the Tianzi Battalion, the Dizi Battalion, the Xuanzi Battalion, and the Yellow Character Battalion, and the subordinates don't know where they are assigned." How many are in Jingzhou, and the subordinates don't know. ”

Lu Bu rolled his eyes and asked again, "How many people do you have under your hands?" ”

Mu Qing said: "One hundred yellow character battalion killers, two hundred and forty shadow supernumeraries." ”

"Well, it's great that you can grow the Shadow like this in just two months. But... The Shadows are improvised, and their loyalists are up for inspection, and they can't be told too much, let alone let them know about the Shadows. ”

"Don't worry, my lord. The two hundred and forty Shadow Shadows are unaware of our existence, nor do they know that Qunfang Tower is the stronghold of the Shadows. Every time I get information, it changes hands four times before it reaches me. Mu Qing replied.

"Hmm."

Overall, Lu Bu was quite satisfied.

Not to mention Gan Ning, the shock was overwhelming.

He served under Liu Biao, and knew that Liu Biao had a lot of detailed works, but these detailed works were no different from those of the scouts.

If the enemy notices, just kill that fine work, and everything will be fine.

"The master's precise deployment, the last general will admire!"

"What is this, when you get to Shouchun, you will know what the real shadow is."

Lu Bu decided that after returning to Shouchun, he would announce Nie Zheng's appointment as a shadow commander, and set up a special department to supervise hundreds of officials, arrest and interrogate lawbreakers.

So when facing Gan Ning, Lu Bu did not hide it.

"My lord, according to the news from the Jingzhou Thorn Mansion, Liu Biao is critically ill, and the Cai family is in power. Cai Mao wanted to mobilize an army to besiege and kill the lord, but was opposed by the Kuai family. Kuai Yue took not giving Cai Mao food and salary as a threat, and wanted to make friends with the lord, and peace was precious. ”

Mu Qing said.

"It's kind of a good understanding of current affairs." Gan Ning laughed.

"You have been in Jingzhou for a while, how much do you know about Jingzhou's internal affairs and military?" Lu Bu asked.

Mu Qing said: "Back to the lord, the nine counties of Jingxiang are controlled by the family. Among them, the Kuai family and the Cai family are the strongest, followed by the Huang family. Kuai Yue is responsible for internal affairs, and more than half of the family is looking forward to Kuai Yue's horses, and the soldiers and horses of all counties and counties are also subject to Kuai Yue's dispatch, so the family headed by Kuai Yue not only controls all the money and grain, but also can mobilize at least six or seven county soldiers. The general Cai Mao, who is mainly responsible for the military, can mobilize 140,000 troops in Xiangyang, 60,000 in Dongting Lake, and 80,000 in Nanyang, but he doesn't have much food in his hands, and he has to rely on the supply of the Kuai family to raise the army. As for Jiangxia County's Taishou Huang Zu, this person neither listened to Kuai Yue nor Cai Mao, and even Liu Biao couldn't move him. He originally had 60,000 Jiangxia garrisons and 80,000 water troops along the river, but after the battle with Sun Ce, the military strength was sharply reduced, and now it is up to 100,000. ”

"In this way, the strength of the Jingzhou army is four or five hundred thousand. You're not mistaken, right? Lu Bu was taken aback. He controlled two large states, with less than 400,000 troops, and Liu Biao's army was even more than him.

"Returning to the lord, there is no mistake."

"No, the last time I received a tip, the Jingzhou army was only 350,000."

Mu Qing said: "The lord doesn't know anything. The Jiangxia garrison, and the naval army along the river, originally only had 70,000. However, in order to guard against Sun Ce, the army was expanded to 140,000. However, Huang Zu didn't have much food in his hands, and Liu Biao didn't want to give it to him, so he only gave 30,000 stone of military food when Sun Ce called. His army of 100,000 will be cut off by half. ”

Gan Ning couldn't help but admire the shadow, it really took some skills to sort out Jingzhou's internal affairs, military, and complex interpersonal relationships in such a short period of time.

"I see."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "I really want to know, how is Kuai Yue going to befriend me?" Is it to give money? Or rationing? ”

"He said... to women. ”

"What?"

Mu Qing said seriously: "Back to the lord, Kuai Yue said... The lord is lustful and gives two peerless beauties. ”

Gan Ning secretly laughed.

"What kind of celebrity is this, I live in Qunfang Building, just lustful?" Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said, "I originally wanted to take advantage of yesterday's incident to knock him down, but now it seems that there is no chance." ”

"You send someone to keep an eye on him, and if there is any situation, come and report it at any time."

"No."

The sky gradually darkened, and Xiangyang City was brightly lit.

The soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army were responsible for guarding Shi Guangyuan, Meng Gongwei, Cui Zhouping and Sun Ce.

Lu Bu, Gan Ning, wandering on the street.

It is said to be lounging, but in fact, it has a purpose. For what purpose? Lu Bu is going to spend a few days visiting all the talents in Xiangyang City, and those who are willing to take refuge will be taken away, and those who are unwilling will be kidnapped away.

General talents, Lu Bu doesn't pay attention to them, and currently locks in three.

The first, an Iraqi national, a native of Shanyang County, is now a staff member under Liu Biao's account. In history, he has helped Liu Bei many times to get out of danger, and after Liu Biao's death, he took refuge in Liu Bei and made a lot of meritorious deeds, and he really has a talent for sophistry.

Lu Bu is now lacking such diplomats, and he must be encircled.

The second, Wei Yan, a native of Yiyang County, is now a lieutenant under Liu Biao's account. Historically, he went out of Qishan with Zhuge Liang and made great achievements, and was a famous general in the late Shu Kingdom. Moreover, he was good at scheming, and once offered Zhuge Liang a plan to march through the Meridian Valley and take Chang'an directly. If Zhuge Liang listens, maybe Shu is really likely to succeed. It's a pity that Zhuge Liang is cautious in his use of troops and unwilling to take risks.

The third, Huang Zhong, the word Hansheng, a native of Nanyang County, is now a lieutenant general under Liu Biao's account, and his nephew Liu Pan garrisoned Changsha...

"It's a pity that he's not in Xiangyang City."

Walking on the street, Lu Bu sighed.

Among the three, he liked Huang Zhong the most. Huang Zhong has excellent martial arts, is not weak Guan Yu, and has the ability to penetrate Yang in 100 steps. In history, after taking refuge in Liu Bei, he was named the general of the Five Tigers, and in the battle of Dingjun Mountain, he personally killed Xiahou Yuan, the general of Wei.

"Who does the lord say?" Gan Ning asked.

"Huang Zhong. Ever heard of it? ”

Gan Ning said: "I've heard that now Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan is serving under the account and serving as a lieutenant general." He is strong in martial arts, loyal and unparalleled, and should be the general who is the best at leading troops to fight under Liu Biao's account. ”

"Even you know that Huang Zhong has a good way of leading the troops, doesn't Liu Biao know? How could Huang Zhong be allowed to serve in the local army? Lu Bu was puzzled. Liu Biao spoiled talents like this?

"When the last general first took refuge in Liu Biao, Huang Zhong served under Cai Mao's account, but because Huang Zhong was arranged by Liu Biao to enter the army, he was squeezed out by Cai Mao and finally transferred to Changsha."

"I see."

Lu Bu couldn't help frowning, according to Gan Ning's statement, Huang Zhong should not rebel easily, unless Liu Biao and Liu Pan die and Jingzhou changes hands, he will always be loyal.
