Now, since Fu Tong has expressed his willingness to marry her in front of Cai Ying'er, the Cai family naturally hopes that this marriage can be carried out in a fair and bright manner, instead of secretly giving Cai Ying'er to Fu Tong like a bed-warming maid like now.

If they really did this, what would become of the women of their Cai family?

"Thank you, Mrs. Cai, for your success! The subordinates are going to leave Xiangyang tomorrow, and they really have no intention of doing these things, and the subordinates will definitely not live up to Miss Cai's affection. Before leaving, in front of Mrs. Cai, Fu Tong had to say something good to coax the other party, and said.

"Hmm!" Mrs. Cai replied without saltiness.

After Fu Tong left, Mrs. Cai instructed the people around her: "Leave a few people, take care of Miss here!" With that, she turned and left with her subordinates.

To be honest, Mrs. Cai's attitude towards this marriage is different from that of Liu Biao and Cai Mao, and she herself is not very optimistic about this young man who is unanimously favored by everyone.

First, Fu Tong's origin is problematic and questionable.

Fu Tong is about twenty years old, he is a native of Jingzhou, and he can pull up a team of more than 1,000 people, which is very remarkable, it is said that he should not be so unknown in Jingzhou, but when he and Liu Bei appeared in front of Liu Surface, no one could know him.

Second, even if there is no problem with Fu Tong's origin, he was born as a bandit or the leader of the rebel army, which is the biggest problem for the Cai family.

How can a woman of the Cai family marry a bandit leader as a wife?

Of course, Liu Biao and Cai Mao have already decided on something, and Mrs. Cai does not dare to completely oppose it, if Fu Tong has made a great contribution to Jingnan this time, even if Mrs. Cai opposes it, it will be useless.

For today's plan, Mrs. Cai's thoughts actually coincide with Fu Tong's - the word 'to'.

When Liu Biao and Cai Mao knew about it, Fu Tong also knew about Liu Biao, left Liu Biao's mansion, and was following Zhang Yun to select 'elite soldiers' in the barracks.

The so-called elite soldiers, whether it is Zhang Yun or Cai Mao, naturally refuse to transfer the elite they have mastered to Fu Tong, therefore, Zhang Yun and Cai Mao have discussed in private, and the 20,000 soldiers assigned to Fu Tong, according to Liu Biao's orders, are naturally not newly recruited soldiers in the past two years, but the recruits recruited in Jingzhou after the first year of Xingping, as well as the county soldiers in the counties of Nanjun.

Some of the county soldiers in each county were drawn out in advance by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun after Liu Biao decided to let Fu Tong serve as the commander of Wuling County, and after receiving some of them, they had to wait until Fu Tong marched south and passed through those counties.

In this regard, even if Fu Tong slandered, he didn't dare to complain at all, Zhang Yun and Cai Mao were still caring, they knew the priority of the matter, and it was very rare that they didn't assign the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army to him.

Therefore, it only took half a day, Fu Tong only took less than half a day to complete the work of selecting soldiers, he didn't even eat lunch, so he led the soldiers out of the south gate of Xiangyang City, and went to the south.

To be honest, except for Fu Tong and the generals and a hundred retinues he brought with him, the vast majority of the soldiers in Jingzhou City, and even the soldiers led by Fu Tong, were not optimistic about Fu Tong going to support Wuling County.

First, Sun Ce's prestige is too hot, and the entire Jiangdong, no, it should be said that the people of the entire Jiangnan are actually afraid of Sun Ce.

Second, Fu Tong is too young, and his past records are too small, so he can't give others enough confidence in this regard.

Therefore, in the process of marching, there was a small number of deserters.

In this regard, when Fu Tong arrived at the first stop to the south, Yicheng County, he sent the assassins in the army to check the matter and find out the specific names of the deserters, he immediately gathered the soldiers together and announced the punishment of those deserters in public.

"Soldiers, Ben Taishou knows that you are not at ease with me, the commander of the reinforcements, but this is not a reason for anyone to flee the barracks. Have you ever thought that if it weren't for the Jingzhou Mu Master guarding Jingzhou, how would we be able to live a quiet and peaceful day without any war today? Have you ever thought that once Sun Ce takes the entire four counties of Jingnan, when the time comes, the entire southern county will immediately become a battlefield.

Among you, it is good to say that your family members are in Xiangyang City, after all, Xiangyang City is strong and garrisoned by a large army, but the county soldiers of other counties, you have not thought about it, if Sun Ce crosses the river to attack the counties of Nanjun, will your family be affected by the war? Fu Tong asked a series of rhetorical questions, and said that the county soldiers who were drawn from various counties were red-faced.

Fu Tong's words are facts, and no one can refute them.

Since Liu Biao served as the pastor of Jingzhou, except for Nanyang County north of Hanshui, there were few wars in the whole Jingzhou, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Once Sun Ce really captured Wuling County, his next target would naturally be the incomparably wealthy Nanjun, which any soldier present could think of.

"Master Fu, you have said this, and your subordinates know it in their hearts, but you are too young, you pat your chest and ask yourself, can you block Sun Ce's soldiers?" At this time, a big man dressed as a low-level officer had the courage to ask in public.

This is not a deliberate arrangement by Fu Tong, this big man can ask such a question in public, which is more or less beyond his own expectations.

However, since the other party asked in public, he couldn't help but answer.

So, Fu Tong pondered for a moment, and then replied: "This young general asked a good question, and the Taishou will explain to you openly and honestly today." Ben Taishou led you to Wuling County, if you go directly to Linyuan County and directly rescue Huang Taishou, to be honest, not to mention you, even I myself don't have enough confidence to be able to hold the county seat of Linyuan County.

Why? Most of you must also know that the reason why Sun Ce is so eager to attack Wuling County is that the secondary purpose is to fight for the four counties of Jingnan, but the main purpose is to go at Huang Zu Huang Taishou and his own head. Sun Ce's father, the predecessor of Changsha Taishou Sun Jian died in the hands of Huang Zu, the two have such a deep hatred, Sun Ce can let Huang Taishou go, that is a strange thing.

Therefore, Ben Taishou's plan from the beginning was like this, and this is like this. Therefore, when you cross the river to Wuling County this time, you only need to have the four counties and counties along the river in your hands, and you don't need to fight directly with Sun Cejun. Why, do you have faith in defending the city? ”
