Just when Liu Feng and Gan Ning were planning to attack Jiangling, Xiangyang was not calm.

Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Liu Biao received the news almost at the same time. Liu Feng defeated Zhou Yu, captured Chaisang, and captured four cities.

said that at noon, when the news came, Cai Mao was still having lunch, and I could hear that after the result of the battle between Liu Feng and Zhou Yu, with Cai Mao's concentration, she couldn't help but spit out the food in her mouth.

It's too unexpected, with Liu Feng's unstable hearts and unstable military spirits, he actually defeated Zhou Yu's army of nearly 10,000 people, and also captured the old nest Chaisang?

Four cities?

Cai Mao was shocked by the news, but Cai Mao's reaction was also very fast.

After the initial shock, it was immediately clear what this meant. Liu Feng's power has swelled, and it is still that kind of rapid expansion.

The population has almost doubled. As long as Liu Feng is given time to digest, with a population of more than 200,000, it is not a problem to raise 20,000 troops at all.

You must know that the total population of the four counties of Xiangyang, Jiangling, Shangyong and Jingnan under Liu Biao's rule is only two or three million. The army is only about 100,000.

And now Liu Feng's power is already one-tenth of Liu Biao's. Don't underestimate this tenth, it's already terrible.

How many days has it been since Liu Feng turned over from Salted Fish? It's swelled to this point. If you give him time, wouldn't you? Thinking of this, Cai Mao almost didn't dare to think about it.

He subconsciously glanced at his daughter.

Meals, of course, are shared by the whole family. At this moment, Cai Mao's wife in the hall, as well as Cai Mao's sons, Cai Da are all there.

They all heard the news.

Without exception, they were all surprised. However, Cai Mao's son, the wives didn't know the relationship between Cai Mao and Liu Feng, but they were shocked that Liu Feng was able to drive Zhou Yu away.

Defeated the Jiangdong forces that almost fought Huang Zu and defeated in successive battles.

There was a complex expression of shock and joy on Cai Da's beautiful face. The eyes are bright.

Cai Mao looked at her daughter, sitting elegantly, her face was extremely beautiful, and her figure was also outstanding.

I couldn't help but feel more anxious about marrying my daughter.

Just like Cai Da said, Liu Feng is such an excellent man, if he misses it, he will never find it again.

Cai Mao's eyes flashed, but she had an idea in her heart. However, at this moment, another servant reported outside the door: "Master, Lord Assassin Shi asks Master Shi to go to the General's Mansion immediately." ”

In such a hurry to summon him, it goes without saying what he is for. It's time for him to have a headache, but this might be just the beginning. If I marry my daughter, Liu Biao will have even more headaches, and he won't even be able to sleep.

Cai Mao thought in his heart, but his face was calm and natural, and said, "Prepare the carriage, I'll be there later." ”

"No." There was a sound of promise outside the door, and a sound of footsteps came, and they walked farther and farther.

"Father, that Liu Feng is really powerful." Cai Tang said with some surprise on his small face.

Cai Tang has always been naughty, and Cai Mao doesn't like it, so he glanced at him when he heard the words, didn't speak, but turned his head to his daughter Cai Da and said, "After eating, go to the study and wait for me." ”

"Yes, father." Cai Da guessed Cai Mao's intentions, was overjoyed, and nodded.

looked at her daughter's face was slightly red, and there was spring in the corners of her eyes. Cai Mao is really a little unpleasant, she is really an outgoing girl.

However, Cai Mao also knows that there is always such a moment when being a father. So I quickly cleaned up my mood, wiped the corners of my mouth with a square towel on the desk, tidied up my clothes, and walked out of the hall.

Then, take a carriage to the Zhennan General's Mansion. Soon arrived outside the main gate of the General's Mansion, and when Cai Mao arrived, Kuai Yue had just arrived.

Cai Mao looked at Kuai Yue not far away, his expression was calm, his body was straight, and he seemed to be no different from usual. But Cai Mao still saw the residual shock on Kuai Yue's face.

This old boy didn't expect that Liu Feng would be able to defeat Zhou Yu. And the power swells. Cai Mao laughed secretly in her heart.

Kuai Yue also saw Cai Mao, his eyes flickered, and he nodded without a trace. Cai Mao understood and entered the General's Mansion first.

Then, when he came to a section of uninhabited road, he quietly slowed down.

Liu Feng was a little embarrassed. Your daughter must be married. Kuai Yue quickly caught up and whispered.

Cai Mao nodded, indicating that she knew. The two glanced at each other, staggered without a trace, and entered Liu Biao's study one after the other.

In the study, Liu Biao's facial expression was very exciting, seemingly unbelievable, doubtful, and hesitant.

It seems that he has a headache about how to deal with the relationship with Liu Feng.

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, who entered the study before and after, felt like a mirror in their hearts.

"You've all heard the news from Liu Feng." When Cai Mao and the two sat down, Liu Biao sighed and said.

"Got it." Cai Mao nodded.

"This man is already sitting up." Kuai Yue followed closely.

The expression on Liu Biao's face gradually converged when he heard this, but the wry smile was still there.

"At the beginning, I thought that he would definitely not be able to hold on under Zhou Yu's attack. I wanted to recover Jiangxia in one fell swoop, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was not easy. changed his mind and wanted Zhou Yu to consume Liu Feng's troops and save Liu Feng at the last moment. I didn't expect it to be today. Liu Biao smiled bitterly.

At the beginning, he originally wanted to take advantage of Zhou Yu and Liu Feng to fight to the death and take the opportunity to go south to Jiangxia. Later, Kuai Yue persuaded him and changed his mind, intending to consume only Liu Feng's power.

If he had known what he had said, he wouldn't have done it.

Either eliminate Liu Feng and avoid Liu Feng from sitting big. Either give full support and make friends with Liu Feng. But now, the opportunity is gone.

He chose to sit and watch the mountain tiger fight. not only let Liu Feng sit big, but also have a bad relationship with Liu Feng. Now that Liu Feng's power is so strong, the naval army can directly attack Jiangling to the east. If this is a disturbance, the barrier will become a scourge.

How could Liu Biao not smile bitterly and not be sad?

But Liu Biao knew that it was useless to regret it at this time, so it was better to discuss with Cai Mao and Kuai Yue how to ease the relationship between Liu Feng.

Back to the way it used to be, as it was before. Liu Feng helped him defend Jiangxia and resist the Sun family. And he fully supported Liu Feng.

Now it is difficult for Liu Biao to treat Liu Feng as a dog, even if it is a dog, it is also a dog without restraints. He felt threatened.

"Now that Liu Feng has become bigger, it is impossible to attack him. The only way to befriend them is to befriend them. can let him continue to be the gateway to Jingzhou. I wonder what you think? Liu Biao sighed and said.

At the beginning, I wanted to win Liu Feng and Zhou Yu in one fell swoop, but now I know that I regret it. To be honest, Cai Mao was a little gloating. At the beginning, he tried to persuade Liu Biao not to move the idea of winning Liu Biao and Zhou Yu in one fell swoop, but Liu Biao was very resolute. Later, Kuai Yue stopped Liu Biao.

Although it was finally stopped, Cai Mao felt some discomfort in her heart.

"Now there is only a large number of people who send baggage to the past and show their friendship with them." Of course, Cai Mao's heart was towards Liu Feng, and she couldn't help but say.

Cai Mao's method really entered Liu Biao's heart, in fact, he also thought so.

"Liu Feng captured the four cities of Chaisang, where the baggage is as heavy as a mountain. I'm afraid that no amount of baggage will be able to get into his eyes. Kuai Yue said on the side.

Liu Biao's heart sank, he was also worried about this. But there's no way to express it except for sending baggage.

"Can't I send soldiers?" Liu Biao gritted his teeth and said.

Judging from his expression, he didn't mean to send soldiers, now Liu Feng is strong enough, and he has countless burdens from the Sun family, if he gives soldiers again, wouldn't it help increase his minions?

Liu Biao is not so confused.

"Ahem, of course not." Kuai Yue couldn't hear that Liu Biao was angry. He coughed lightly and shook his head. After a pause, he suddenly changed his words and said with a smile: "However, we still have things that Liu Feng can't get from Chaisang." ”

"Xenomorph means warships and horses?" Liu Biao immediately heard the meaning of Kuai Yue's words. couldn't help frowning.

The ship arrived and was nothing. Liu Biao knew that his army was not good, so he had no spare strength to build warships. Whether it is an active warship or a reserve warship, he has countless warships.

What made Liu Biao reluctant was the war horse, from beginning to end, the place south of the Yangtze River was extremely short of horses. The price of war horses in Jingzhou has skyrocketed again and again, and now it has skyrocketed to ten or eleven gold.

But even so, Liu Biao will grit his teeth and buy as much as he wants. Because he knew that horses were a strategic material. The more the merrier.

Now Liu Biao has about 10,000 war horses, one-third of which are used in the army, 2,000 in the pastures outside Xiangyang, and about 5,000 in Jiangling.

If you take it out as a gift, you need at least one or two thousand horses. This own war horse is already small, and he has to cut so much. Liu Biao couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"For the sake of the security of the East, I think it is appropriate to use warships and war horses to win Liu Feng." Cai Mao added a fire to the side and said softly.

The two important ministers around him thought so, and the hesitation in Liu Biao's heart gradually increased, and Liu Feng gained the upper hand by sending horses and warships.

"Okay, just send twenty big ships and a thousand war horses." Liu Biao thought about it for a moment and gritted his teeth.

A thousand war horses can only stop five hundred cavalry, so what can they do? Cai Mao rolled her eyes in her heart, but she also knew that Liu Biao had made a great sacrifice. did not continue to dig for Liu Feng.

Kuai Yue also accepted it when he saw it, and did not continue to fight for Liu Feng.

The opinions of the two important ministers were unanimous, and Liu Biao himself made up his mind again. This strategy of sending horses and warships to Liu Feng was soon ordered by Liu Biao in the form of a paperwork.

Officials were dispatched, with some soldiers, to prepare an inventory of warships and horses, and send them to Jiangxia.

However, whether it is Cai Mao who tries to fight for Liu Feng's benefits, or Kuai Yue who helps Cai Mao fight together. or Liu Biao, who was painful and helpless to send out a thousand war horses.

They didn't know that Liu Feng's appetite was much bigger than they thought. directly targeted Jiangling City, which Liu Biao had been operating for more than ten years.
