When Man Pet first came out of Xiling City, he still avoided people's eyes and ears, and rode a carriage towards Xiakou.

But when Manzhong arrived at Xiakou, he crossed the river by boat to the north.

Manzhong immediately changed his fast horse, and galloped towards Wancheng with a few followers.

Wancheng is undoubtedly a big city. It has a long history. It was the former seat of Jingzhou, and Liu Biao moved the place of governance to Xiangyang, not because Wancheng was bad, but because Wancheng was too close to the Central Plains. And there is no danger to keep.

Zhang Xiu has been a soldier here, has been a prince for several years, he has not made any contribution to the development of Wancheng, only to strengthen the city wall, pull up the city wall, Zhang Xiu did a very good job.

And Cao Ren, who then took over Wancheng, strengthened the city every year.

Therefore, Wancheng is not only a large city with a large population and a wide area, it is also a strong fortress.

At this moment, in front of the city gate tower of the great shore, there is a flag, and the flag is embroidered with the word "Cao" of Douda, fluttering in the wind, which is very majestic.

Although it is not a war period, Wancheng's sense of preparedness is still relatively vigilant. At this moment, some soldiers were patrolling the city walls.

There are also guards at the gates. Each of these soldiers polished their eyes and watched the people entering the city with fierce eyes to prevent the annihilation from entering.

When a team of knights from the distance appeared, it made the soldiers vigilant.

"Who's coming?" Shi Chang, who was the guard of the gatekeeper, stepped forward, and the spear in his hand was faintly pointed at the comer, shouting.

"Full of pets. It was an envoy to Jiangxia. Surrounded by many knights, he said loudly.

When Shi Chang heard this, he was immediately taken aback. Waving his hand, he said, "Spread out." ”

With the commander's order, the guards guarding the door immediately dispersed on both sides. Clear the road and let the full pet pass.

After entering the city gate, the speed of the full pet decreased slightly, but it still rode to the general's mansion at a faster speed.

Although the soldier Wancheng is Cao Ren, Wancheng Taishou is someone else. The two are divide and rule. There is the General's Mansion and there is also the Taishou Mansion.

Soon, Man Pet came to the gate of the Taishou Mansion, and after getting off the war horse cleanly, Man Pet handed over the horse to the guard in front of the door and walked in.

At the same time, in the study room of the General's Mansion, Cao Ren also got the news, put down the military book in his hand, smiled slightly, and stood up.

Cao Ren was about forty years old, with an ordinary face, and he didn't see anything special when he sat there, but when he stood up, he was tall and straight, and he was strong all over his body.

It's like a sharp sword that goes straight to the sky, extremely sharp.

After standing up, Cao Ren walked out of the study, but after taking a few steps, he saw Man Pet walking towards him.

"General." Man Pet first bent down and saluted.

"Come in and talk." Cao Ren nodded, said a word, and turned back to the study.

After entering the study, Cao Ren invited Man Pet to sit down, and he sat on the main seat. After kneeling and sitting down, Cao Ren showed some smiles on his face, and praised Man Chong: "Berning did a good job, the knife he brought back is good, although it has big shortcomings, but it also has great advantages." If you can carry out small-scale equipment, the combat effectiveness will be increased by three points. ”

"That knife was given by Liu Feng, so it doesn't have any credit." Man Chong shook his head and said, It's not modest, bringing back the Chu knife is really not a merit.

After a pause, he said again: "The top priority now is Liu Feng's person." ”

"Oh? How about that person? Cao Ren put away his smile and asked in a deep voice.

"If you have courage and no strategy, you don't know how to govern states and counties, and you are not a big enemy." Man Chong first said a word, and then explained in detail that Liu Feng killed Liu Ba, gave Chu a knife, and finally killed cattle and ate meat to Cao Ren in detail.

"According to Boning's analysis, although Liu Feng has outstanding force and can defeat Zhou Yu, he doesn't know how to use strategy and doesn't know how to govern." As he spoke, Cao Ren touched his chin, and his eyes shone with incomparable shrewdness.

"Such a brave and unscrupulous person, if I send troops to attack the five cities of Jiangxia, then he has a seventy or eighty percent chance that he will lead all the soldiers who can be used to garrison Jiangbei. Defend the city. There is a chance of two or three percent, and the whole line retreats to the Yangtze River. ”

Cao Ren came to a conclusion.

"Isn't this the ending that the general wants to see the most? If Liu Fengzhen resists hard, he will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and at that time, even if the general goes south on a bamboo raft, he will be able to attack Jiangxia. If the northern army crossed the Yangtze River and occupied the city. The southern princes, Sun Quan, and Liu Biao have nothing to fear at all. Man Pet smiled slightly and said.

For Cao Ren, taking the city is secondary, if he can destroy Liu Feng's living force, or even the water army. It's the best.

"Huh." Cao Ren smiled and did not deny it.

I heard that Liu Feng was completely a brave and unscrupulous person, and both of them were very relaxed. After sitting for a while, Man Pet felt a little tired, but there was one thing that gave Man Pet a headache.

"This Liu Ba is dead, how to explain to the Son of Heaven?" Full pet asked.

"If you're dead, you're dead, it's just a clan, and there are so many clans in the world that have died. And this person is naturally mean and quite brainless. Except for the name is the same as that of a famous man named Liu Ba in Lingling, Jingzhou, everything else is useless. Forget about it. The Son of Heaven will not mention it. Cao Ren said very confidently, and he didn't pay any attention to Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

Seeing this, Man Chong breathed a sigh of relief, raised his fist and said: "In this way, the information of Jiangxia Liu Feng will be handed over to the general to Xu Du, and the subordinates will go down to rest first." ”

"Hmm." Cao Ren nodded.

Immediately, Man Pet took his leave and went to rest. In the study, only Cao Ren was left.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. What kind of people, what kind of methods can be used.

And to deal with those who are brave and unscrupulous, you only need a large army to press the border. Cao Ren thought to himself. But he was contemptuous.

Xiangyang City, inside the Cai Mansion Hall.

Cai Mao was dressed in white and sat on the main seat, with a wry smile on her face. And Huang Chengyan knelt on the side seat very casually, looking impatient.

"Hey, it's been days, what the hell do you mean." Huang Chengyan said unhappily.

It has been several days since he rushed to Xiangyang, but Cai Mao has never answered.

For the Cai family, the daughter of the Huang family, married Liu Feng together. Cai Mao first learned about it from her sister Cai Yu's letters.

At first, Cai Mao was unhappy. How can two famous and noble women marry a man.

That's impossible.

But on the one hand, Cai Mao was forced to have a strong relationship with Liu Feng, so he couldn't make up his mind. If Liu Feng takes Huang Yueying, this marriage will be in vain.

Just when Cai Mao was having a hard time choosing, Huang Chengyan came and persuaded him to marry Cai Da to Liu Feng, this brother-in-law is very thick-skinned.

Cai Mao was still hesitant in her heart, sighed, and said, "Why does my brother-in-law value him so much." ”

"Seeing is believing, whether it is a dragon or a worm, the old man can tell it at a glance." Huang Chengyan said meaningfully. He is also a shrewd person, and he will not say some things to Cai Mao.

Cai Mao is a faction that descends to Cao, if you let Cai Mao know in advance, Liu Feng has a princely atmosphere. Cai Mao must be so scared that she doesn't even care about the alliance, and she won't marry Liu Feng if she locks her daughter in the mansion.

It's a dragon or a worm that can be broken at a glance. This sentence made Cai Mao's heart itch. Huang Chengyan's eyes are vicious, and everyone in Jingzhou knows that Jiang Wan was discovered by Huang Chengyan himself.

Cai Mao believes that Huang Chengyan's vision is even better than herself.

is like a dragon and a tiger, if such a person is a son-in-law, it will not be of great help to Cai's family. Cai Mao's heart was itching.

"Hehe, these two women marrying together will not only not touch the Cai family, but will also make the Cai family's signboard brighter and brighter until it is dazzling. The old man has invested, so you can put a hundred hearts. Huang Chengyan saw Cai Mao's expression and knew that it was time to work harder, so he couldn't help but smile and said.

Cai Mao thought about it, the Huang family's signboard was not much worse than the Cai family, since this old man was moving forward bravely, then Liu Feng should be a dragon.

Cai Mao's heart itched even more. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay." ”

"Haha, count your kid a little bold." Huang Chengyan laughed. Immediately, Huang Chengyan asked again: "When will you give Liu Feng news?" ”

Cai Mao thought for a while and said, "My sister wrote to me last time, saying that she was borrowing thirty-five merchant ships from me, and the house slaves should come with the merchant ships and bring the news over." Directly let him give a dowry. ”

"The dowry is as it should be." Huang Chengyan agreed, and then said: "However, this wedding date has to be discussed later, Jiangxia has been busy recently, and Liu Feng may not have time." ”

After the dowry, Cai Mao will not regret it. Chua is not Fei. When the news of Liu Feng's defeat of Cao Ren came, Cai Mao had to grit her teeth and marry her daughter even if she wanted to surrender to Cao Ren in her heart.

Of course, Cai Mao didn't know that his brother-in-law and sister were united and deceived him all over the place. Instead, he readily agreed: "This is no problem, as long as it is within the year." ”

"Okay, I'll go home and get ready. This time, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you will be overwhelmed in the dowry. Huang Chengyan said hello twice, and then said viciously.

Both are high-ranking families, but the Cai family's financial resources and influence are stronger than the Huang family.

This time, the two families married together, and Huang Chengyan decided to make a bloody investment and never let the Cai family lead.

"You can discuss, the two are almost fine." Cai Mao said helplessly. Although Cai's influence over the years is huge, he will never look down on Huang because of this.

In terms of historical history, the Huang clan is a high-ranking family that existed in the Chu era.

Cai Mao thought to herself, now that the two daughters are married together, they have to give the Huang family more or less face, discuss it together, and just pay a similar dowry.

"You kid has a little conscience." A moment ago, Huang Chengyan, who seemed to be viciously under the war letter, smiled at this moment.

It was counted again. Cai Mao couldn't cry or laugh.

But there is not much displeasure in his heart, Huang Yueying is also his niece, and when the time comes, even if it is an extra dowry. Cai Mao will also be happy to make a move.

At the same time, in the backyard of Cai's mansion, Huang Yueying's face was flushed, and Cai Da opposite her was joking.

The person who took off the veil revealed a face that captivated the country and the city, with beautiful facial features and a snowy complexion.

Who dares to say that Huang Yueying is an ugly girl.
