"The safety of Xiangyang City is related to the safety of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the official hopes that all the families can take out the private soldiers in the family to resist the attack of the Cao army, and the official will ask for credit for you in front of the saint." Zhuge Liang said.

At this time, the family understood Zhuge Liang's true intention, the price of rice and grain was to knock on the family in the city, so that they could hand over the private soldiers, which was the ultimate goal, and the importance of the private soldiers to the family was self-evident, and no one was willing to hand over the private soldiers completely.

The existence of private soldiers is a symbol of the strength of the family, and it is an important force to protect the family, if all the private soldiers are in the hands of Zhuge Liang, they will become the playthings in the hands of Zhuge Liang.

"Military advisor, although the war situation is urgent, there are not many private soldiers in the family, all the families have supported thousands of people before, and now the city is not stable, if the family has no private soldiers, how to ensure the safety of the family."

Zhuge Liang glanced at this person coldly and said: "Come here, control the people of the Qin family, this official suspects that the people of the Qin family are illicit with Cao Jun outside the city, and Jian Yong is responsible for investigating this matter." ”

After hearing these words, the family in the field all gasped, Zhuge Liang's words directly forced the Qin family to a dead end, which shows that Zhuge Liang has reached the point where he must control the private soldiers in the hands of the family.

Whether Liu Bei occupies Jingzhou or Cao Cao occupies Jingzhou, there is not much difference in the eyes of the family, and Cao Cao's strength is even stronger, even if Cao Cao broke through Jingzhou, he did not dare to eliminate the court of Jingzhou, Jingzhou represents the imperial court, and Cao Cao is most likely to do is to continue to support the saint and crusade against the ministers, Liu Bei also did this, but Liu Bei's strength is much worse than Cao Cao, otherwise Jingzhou will not fall into the current situation.

And Cao Cao before attacking Xiangyang, secretly sent people to spread the news in the city, after breaking through Xiangyang, it will not touch the interests of the family, and even open the city gate to welcome the people of Cao Jun into the city, there will be rich rewards, at the beginning, the family was waiting, but what happened to the Kuai family made the family more vigilant, and they did not dare to have the slightest involvement with Cao Jun in the open.

However, judging from the war during this time, they lost more and more confidence in Zhuge Liang, and the Jingzhou Navy suffered heavy losses on the way to support Xiangyang, and the Jingzhou Navy was an important force in Jingzhou to deal with Jiangdong, and they even foresaw that when Sun Ce learned the news of the heavy losses of the Jingzhou Army, would he take the opportunity to send troops to attack Jingzhou.

Compared with Sun Ce, the family still has some good feelings for Cao Cao.

"Willing to obey the orders of the military advisor." The family has expressed their attitudes, no one wants to be angry with you Zhuge Liang before this time, and the family of the Qin family has already explained that Zhuge Liang will not be soft when dealing with the family.

After leaving the General's Mansion, the head of the family was in a different mood, and handed over the private soldiers, the family was naturally not willing, and they also wanted to rely on the private soldiers in their hands to preserve the strength of the family in this battle.

Otherwise, once the Cao army breaks through Xiangyang, the city will definitely be chaotic, and the family's private soldiers will play a great role at this moment, otherwise, in the face of the enemy, the family can only watch the assets of the family being plundered by others.

Even if he suffered such a loss, the family did not dare to cry to Cao Cao, there were private soldiers in every family, Cao Cao must have known this situation, after Cao's army broke through the city, the private soldiers in the hands of the family were gone, how could Cao Cao not think where these private soldiers went.

The head of the Li family glanced at the head of the Huang family and the head of the Wu family beside him.

The two nodded knowingly, and left the general's mansion quietly.

Outside the city of Xiangyang, Cao Cao has absolute confidence in breaking through Xiangyang, especially after learning the news from the fine work, it makes Cao Cao full of confidence, Zhuge Liang in his own attack on the city is the most critical, all the private soldiers in the hands of the family will be left, it will definitely make the family panic, the significance of private soldiers for the family, when the war starts, how important it is.

"Lord, it seems that Zhuge Liang has no other way." Xun You said with a smile.

"Zhuge Liang is just a village man, relying on a little resourcefulness, he dares to be so rampant in front of Benhou, but he doesn't know that the family in the city has long regarded Zhuge Liang as a thorn in the flesh." Cao Cao said.

"My lord, news came from Jiangdong that Sun Ce had the intention of sending troops to attack Jingzhou, and now Jiangdong's soldiers and horses are gathering." Cheng Yu said.

Hearing this, Xun You said in a low voice: "Lord, this is our army's opportunity. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Cao asked.

"There is a deep hatred between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, the family in Jingzhou will naturally not have a good impression of Sun Ce, and the Jingzhou Navy has suffered heavy losses in the battle of our army to attack Xiangyang, once the Jiangdong Army comes to attack, the Jingzhou Navy will be difficult to stop, but the subordinates have heard that Liu Bei in order to control the Navy Army, the generals who belong to him in the Navy have been promoted a lot, and the family in the city is worried about the war of the Navy Army, and there is Zhuge Liang Ming on the face of the fight for the private soldiers in the hands of the family, which will definitely make the family extremely dissatisfied with Liu Bei, As long as the lord sends someone to secretly go to the city to appease the family, the family will inevitably give up Zhuge Liang and support the lord instead. Xun Yu said slowly.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded slightly.

"Lord, if you follow Lord Xun's words, after breaking through Jingzhou, you can't make Liu He the emperor." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao's brows furrowed slightly, how could he not understand the meaning of Cheng Yu's words, in fact, in Cao Cao's eyes, there is not much difference between appointing Liu He as the emperor and supporting Liu Qi to become the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and if he supports Liu Qi as the emperor, it is easier to win the support of the Jingzhou family, and Cao Cao only needs the name of the Han family.

"The lord, according to the guess of his subordinates, if Zhuge Liang is defeated, Liu Qi will definitely be taken away from Jingzhou, so that the lord can re-elect the emperor on the grounds that Liu Qi's inheritance of the unification is not right, and after the emperor is re-elected, no one can match the prestige of the lord." Xun Yu Dao.

Cao Cao's heart moved, assisting the emperor to ascend the throne, for a courtier, it is definitely a huge prestige, after Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, why did he choose to change the emperor, the main thing is to deter the princes, let the princes of the world see, Dong Zhuo even dared to change the emperor, not to mention others, but Dong Zhuo ignored the power of the scholars, when the scholars were angry, that anger was enough to make Dong Zhuo defeated, and now the situation is very different, the family under the rule of Lu Bu was rectified honestly, The families of the other princes are for the benefit of their own families, and the majesty of the Great Han clan has been weakened a lot in the turmoil.

"The most important thing now is to seize Xiangyang." Cao Cao said.
