Troubled Times Begin Chapter 244 Impact
The time entered September, when the autumn harvest had just been completed, and for Jingxiang, who had not had a war for a long time, it seemed to be a thriving and prosperous scene.
In the governor's mansion of Xiangyang City, Liu Biaogao sat at the top of the hall, looking at the dancing singers in the audience, but there was always a sadness in his expression.
"Husband, are you dissatisfied with the dancing of these dancers?" Cai, who was accompanying Liu Biao on the side, saw that Liu Biao's interest was not very high, so he asked carefully.
"No, it's just that when I think about the war on the front line, I can't calm down in my heart!" Liu Biao shook his head and said. Although he sent 100,000 reinforcements to resist the Jiangdong Army this time, but for the victory or defeat of the war, to be honest, he had no confidence in his heart, because the prestige of the opponent this time was too dazzling, although the Lu Xuantong people were hateful, but they had never lost in the battle, and they were a very powerful enemy.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Biao was a little angry: "It's really chaotic these years, so many princes have a good life, but they all have to attack everywhere, and they each guard their own territories so that the people can live a stable life, isn't it?"
"This time, the husband asked my brother to bring out an army of 100,000 to support, plus Jiangxia itself has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and we are not much inferior to the soldiers, even if we are defeated, we can still defend against it!" Cai Shi Dao.
"What do you know about a woman, in addition to the strength of the troops, the victory or defeat of the battle depends on the person who leads the troops, although Cai Mao is okay, but there is still a slight gap between the famous generals of the world like Lu Xuantong, and the situation is not optimistic!" Liu Biaodao. Sending Cai Mao out, he is also a tall man among the short people, several generals in Jingzhou, Cai Mao is good, and he is an in-law with himself, so he can be trusted.
"If you think so, then just surrender, and let my brother lead the army out to resist, what are you doing?" Hearing Liu Biao say that his brother's skills were not good, Cai's heart was a little uncomfortable, and he said coldly.
"Surrender is impossible, I now hope that the army we sent out can consume more of the opponent's troops, and then we will gather some more troops to go over and repel the opponent with the advantage of troops!" Liu Biao sighed. If this Lu Xuantong asked for money, food, ordnance or something, he would give it directly, but the other party's appetite was too big, and if he wanted his foothold, where could he give it.
"Report to the lord, General Cai has good news from the front line, our army has broken the Jiangdong Army, and now Lu Xuantong has led the army back to Jiangdong!" Just when Liu Biao was outside, a lieutenant suddenly rushed from outside the hall, and said with a happy face.
"Really?" Liu Biao was shocked, stood up and asked.
"It's true, this is a letter sent by General Cai to the lord, please take a look at it!" As he spoke, the lieutenant took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it over carefully.
"Hahahaha, I didn't borrow Jiangxia's defenders, just with this 100,000 army, I not only repelled Lu Xuantong, but also killed nearly 40,000 Jiangdong troops, okay, Cai Mao is worthy of being my right-hand man, and he is really a national soldier!" Liu Biao hurriedly read the letter, and laughed when he threw away his previous sadness.
The Cai family on the side looked at Liu Biao with some disdain, and just now said that his brother was not as good as Lu Xuantong, and now he has become a national soldier again, and this attitude has become too fast.
"Husband, don't worry about it now!" Thinking about it, Cai still showed a smile and said.
"The enemy is gone, what am I worried about, this time it's really beautiful, even I didn't expect it, I thought Lu Xuantong was a three-headed and six-armed character, now I think about it, it's me who is too worried, he Lu Xuantong is still an ordinary person!" Liu Biao said with a red face. In this battle, not only did he repel the enemy, but he also inspired his confidence, and he also had the confidence to resist when he encountered the opponent again in the future.
"It's good if the husband is happy!" Cai also smiled lightly. This time the battle was won, in addition to Liu Biao himself, it was also a great news for their Cai family, otherwise let that Lu Xuantong enter Jingzhou, and the families in Jingzhou would not all have to be tossed to death, that person is a first-class fierce to the family.
"Well, when Cai Mao comes back, I must reward him well, as well as the two young talents who made the first contribution in this battle!" Liu Biao nodded.
"A young talent who made his first contribution?"
"Yes, listening to Cai Mao's letter, this time I was able to repel the enemy army, thanks to two young men who made great efforts in this battle, one is called Zhuge Liang and the other is called Pang Tong, both of whom are children of our local family in Jingzhou, and they are also proud disciples of Mr. Shuijing!" Liu Biao stroked his beard and smiled.
"That's a great reward!" A smile on Cai's face. In her heart, she secretly scolded her brother for not knowing how to be flexible, and he would not deviate a little bit from himself when reporting his military exploits was so important, and even gave up the first merit to the two teenagers, of course, what she didn't know was that Cai Mao had already deviated a lot from herself in the letter of return, otherwise she really had to tell the truth, and the whole big victory would hardly have anything to do with Cai Mao.
"It's a pity, these two teenagers refuse to go out because of their studies, otherwise I will have two more pillars of the world in Jingzhou!" Liu Biao said with some sighs. was able to make the first contribution in the battle with Lu Xuantong, even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he knew that these two people must be top talents.
"Since they helped their husband once, it shows that their hearts are still towards their husband, and they are all locals in Jingzhou, and they will come to work for their husband sooner or later!" Cai Shi Dao.
"That's right!"

As the world's attention to the princes' war, the battle of Jingzhou in addition to the party Liu Biao was the first to receive the news, but also quickly through the spies of all parties to the hands of the major princes, and the result of this battle, also almost fell through the eyes of most people, the invincible general Lu Xuantong actually lost a battle when he captured Jingzhou, and did not even occupy a city in Jiangxia County, and was defeated by the Jingzhou army to return to Jiangdong with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which made everyone marvel at the same time, but also made people more afraid of Jingzhou, defeated Lu Xuantong, who was almost comparable to the overlord, how strong was Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
Suddenly, Jingzhou became a little mysterious in the hearts of many people.
Xuzhou, Langya County
Cao Cao's army with Liu Bei's Weimo soldiers and horses united almost all the way to break Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, and soon arrived at Kaiyang, the seat of Langya County, and just as his army would be unable to pass through the Kaiyang siege, the information of Jingzhou was also transmitted at this time.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Xuantong to lose to Cai Mao under Liu Biao, and it was really unexpected that the boat capsized in the gutter to such a point!" Inside the tent, Cao Cao Gao sat on the first seat, and after hearing the information from the next spies, he couldn't help but laugh a little. Xuantong, Xuantong, you have always planned to move, Wen Taowu is the top, but no matter what you do, you didn't expect to be defeated in Jingzhou, this defeat is eaten, I'm afraid that your desire to quickly take Jingzhou will be frustrated.
"Lord, there is a detail in this battle, Lord must pay attention!" Xun Yu below thought for a moment and said.
"Oh? What does Wen Ruo think? Cao Cao asked.
"According to the report of the spies, Cai Mao was not Lu Xuantong's opponent at all, and then two teenagers suddenly appeared in his army to help Cai Mao, Cai Mao defeated Lu Xuantong in a battle, and Cai Mao, I have heard of it for a long time, at most he is a middle-aged person, and it is impossible to be the opponent of a famous general like Lu Xuantong, that is to say, in this battle, Lu Xuantong was not defeated in the hands of Cai Mao, but defeated in the hands of those two teenagers, throwing away some external factors such as underestimating the enemy, Lu Xuantong's 160,000 army actually retreated after only losing 40,000 soldiers and horses, does this mean that Lu Xuantong was quite jealous of those two teenagers, so he withdrew directly? Xun Yu said slowly.
"If what you said is right, it must be so, it seems that those two teenagers are by no means idle characters!" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he felt that this possibility was not far from ten, so he immediately asked the spies below: "Can you ask what are the names of those two teenagers?" ”
"One is called Zhuge Liang, the other is called Pang Tong, both of them are disciples of Mr. Sima Hui of Jingzhou Famous Scholar Shuijing, it is said that the two have not yet come out!" The spies were obviously very attentive and inquired into all these details.
"Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong!" When the spy finished speaking, Liu Bei, who was sitting upright under Cao Cao, burst out with countless brilliance in the depths of his eyes, and then disappeared again, looking very low-key and mediocre.
"It's good that you're not out of office, not out of office!" Cao Cao didn't notice Liu Bei's expression, and immediately came to the lieutenant and said: "Quickly send someone to prepare a big gift to Jingzhou to visit Mr. Shui Jing and his two disciples, just say that I, Cao someone, was ordered by the Son of Heaven to crusade against the unministers, but I have no choice but to rebel and the thieves are strong, and some of them are beyond their strength, and I want to invite a few of them to come to me as a military advisor to help the Son of Heaven pacify the traitors, and the Son of Heaven and I will treat each other as a national soldier!" ”
"Lord Cao, Mr. Shuijing is just that, his two disciples are just teenagers, defeating Lu Xuantong may be due to factors such as Lu Xuantong's being too careless, there is no need to be so popular, and Jingzhou is Liu Biao's territory!" Liu Bei, who was at the bottom, didn't know what he was thinking, so he immediately stood up and said.
"Hey, Xuande is wrong in what he said, the whole world is not the king's land, the entire Han is the son of heaven, where can it be Liu Biao's territory, as for the two teenagers, the so-called ambition is not in the age, the talent is not in the young, Xuantong was a teenager back then, but he became famous in the Tiger Prison Pass, who dares to despise it in the world, since these two teenagers can defeat Xuantong and other famous generals, then whether Xuantong is a miss or a light enemy, it itself proves their talent, and they are definitely unparalleled national warriors!" Cao Cao laughed.
For Liu Bei, he doesn't have any defenses now, anyway, the other party has no soldiers and no territory, after beating Lu Bu, he doesn't have to do it himself, the pitiful little strength under this guy's hands will naturally belong to himself, speaking of Liu Bei, there is nothing, but the two righteous brothers really have the courage of ten thousand people, and they can really be used for him to find a treasure.
