Pan Lu didn't expect that someone like Cai Mao would reject him.

"It seems that the head of the Cai family has reservations about me!"

"Don't dare."

"Master Cai, please go back!"

"My lord, my Cai family is sincerely taking refuge."

In the troubled times, where does the sincerity come from, Pan Lu didn't believe it for a long time, Pan Lu only believed what he saw and heard.

"Master Cai, let's go!" Zhou Cang stepped forward to take Cai Mao away.

Cai Mao stood in place, "I have a way to let Liu Biao stay in Xiangyang all the time." ”

If you don't say that, Pan Lu won't ask Cai Mao how to do this, all he wants is the final result.

"Don't worry, Lord Cai, my army will enter Xiangyang."

"Then I'll wait for good news in Xiangyang City." Cai Mao left.

Li Linfu: "It seems that there is something happening in Xiangyang City that we don't know about!" This is a subordinate's failure to do so. ”

Pan Lu naturally won't pursue it, Pan Lu's purpose in setting up the secret guard is to know everything he wants, but this is impossible, this world is too big.

"Surprise attack on Xiangyang and capture Liu Biao, this is a very important matter, who can take on this heavy responsibility?"

Guo Jia: "Wei Rui, he is a handsome talent, he caught Cao Ang last time, and he is the only one who caught Liu Biao this time." ”

"How many troops and horses should be transferred?"

"Xiangyang City is a rare fortified city in the south, so in case of fraud, how can you need an army of 30,000."

With an army of 30,000, all the warships under Pan Lu's command together can accommodate these people! Guo Jianeng can name this number, which shows that he is also considerate.

"Feng Xiao, this time you will follow Wei Rui to set off!" This surprise attack is too risky, with Guo Jia here, Pan Lu can feel at ease.

"Whoa."

Pan Lu's army operated, Pan Lu directly mobilized 30,000 elites, and since he decided to do it, Pan Lu did not dare to take it lightly.

Wei Rui got the general order, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely be able to take Xiangyang." ”

"You remembered for me, Xiangyang City is not important, what matters is Liu Biao."

"The last will understand."

"Control Gan Ning, don't let him mess with me."

Gan Ning was not far away, and he happened to hear this sentence, "Lord, if you don't believe me, why let me go!" ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I didn't have many sailor generals available, do you think it would be your turn? Remember not to mess around, and be very careful this time. ”

"Isn't it just to catch Liu Biao? It's a trifle. "The more Gan Ning has such an attitude, the more uneasy Pan Lu is!

But this time it was a waterway, and Gan Ning had been in Jingzhou again, and there was really no one else besides him, "You... Let's go! ”

I hope that as Cai Mao said, they can enter Xiangyang, otherwise the 30,000 army is really dangerous.

"Mr. Li, haven't you been courting Kuai Yue all the time? What did he say over there. "The Cai family and the Kuai family are Liu Biao's two arms.

Now that the Cai family has taken refuge in the past, the Kuai family has become the biggest obstacle, and Pan Lu does not dare to take it lightly.

"He's still hesitating."

"Can't let him hesitate, let the secret guard make a move and assassinate Kuailiang."

"Lord, Kuai Liang has been staying by Liu Bei's side, and we have no chance to start."

Of course, Pan Lu knows, "It doesn't matter if you fail, but you must make a move, how can you make Kuai Yue obey if you don't make a move!" ”

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue have a good relationship with the two brothers, Pan Lu doesn't believe it, Kuai Yue will not take into account Kuai Liang's safety, he is not in Yangzhou and does not know the situation, he will be more worried.

"Subordinate, let's arrange it."

"Hmm..."

Due to the division of troops, Pan Lu could only stay in Shouchun for a period of time and transfer troops from other directions, so as not to let Liu Bei see some falsehood.

Liu Bei is the lord of Yangzhou, so he naturally will not be beaten passively all the time, and his soldiers and horses soon appeared near Shouchun.

Liu Bei originally didn't want to set up a combat ground here, but the fighters are always fleeting, and since Pan Lu's army has stopped, of course he has to come over to attack and disturb him.

Pan Lu relied on Shouchun City and entangled with it, Pan Lu's abnormal Liu Bei saw it in his eyes, "Zirou, what do you think Pan Lu wants to do?" ”

"It's still unknown, but it takes an adult to hit hard to see some suspicions."

The judgment of the strategist is also based on the changes on the battlefield.

"I know how?" Liu Bei took the lead and began to attack.

Liu Bei as a prince, he did this very morale-inspiring, Pan Lu once fantasized that he was like Liu Bei, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything, and in the end it was just a fantasy.

Gradually, there was a problem in Pan Lu's army, that is, there was a shortage of water.

Pan Lu's subordinates have a large number of people, everyone has to drink water, and they can eat a little less, but they really can't drink less water!

Most of the water sources around Shouchun City are undrinkable, and this problem, which is not usually noticed, has now caused big trouble for Pan Lu.

The south is scorching hot, and if there is no water to drink, the combat power of the soldiers will be affected.

"Is there a solution, sir?"

"Lord, break through!"

"You're telling me to withdraw? It can't be."

"Lord, listen to me, once we retreat, Liu Bei's army will definitely pursue, then the attention of the entire south will be concentrated on us, so that we can also cover the surprise attack on Xiangyang."

said so, and said it in the past, but Pan Lu knew that this was all an excuse for Li Linfu, and he had no solution to drinking water.

This is the biggest difference between Li Linfu and Guo Jia, Guo Jia will say it directly if he has no way, and Li Linfu will always find all kinds of excuses to cover up.

"Hold out for another three days, and if we haven't found a new source of water, we'll withdraw our troops."

Pan Lu didn't want to withdraw his troops easily, he lost 30,000 elites for no reason, if Liu Bei couldn't see it, it would be okay, what if he saw it? The consequences would be unimaginable.

Maybe it's heaven favoring! On the third day, it rained lightly, and the problem of drinking water was solved at once.

Pan Lu's worries suddenly became superfluous.

When the sky cleared, Li Linfu counted the rainwater collected in the army, and at least for three days, they no longer had to worry about drinking water, which means that they could hold out for another three days.

"Congratulations, my lord, this heavy rain has come at a timely time."

"This can only be blamed on Liu Bei's bad life."

"That's what the lord said."

Pan Lu and his army held out in Shouchun City for another six days, counting the previous three days, that is, nine days, the soldiers under these nine days were not good, and they often had a dry mouth, but Wei Rui's side was very smooth, and there was no bad news until now.

Liu Bei's army did not move at all, which means that they did not get any news, the Cai family did a good job, and Pan Lu became more and more confident in the surprise attack on Xiangyang.
