"Liu Bei is unwilling to let go!" A tall middle-aged man in the army heading towards Fancheng asked the young man next to him.

"Yes, the lord, that's what the young lord's subordinates said!" The young man said to the middle-aged man very respectfully.

"So, you can send troops?!" The middle-aged man asked.

"The lord sent troops just to force Liu Bei and consume Liu Bei's strength, no!" Before the young man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the middle-aged man.

"Got it!" The middle-aged man was a little impatient, "Yuanlong, how can you be almost the same as that Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang, the whole noise is very annoying, I have been fighting for half a lifetime, I still want that yellow-haired boy to remind!" I haven't had time to settle accounts with that kid yet, huh. ”

Chen Deng could only smile bitterly and shook his head when he listened to his father-in-law's words, this is his father-in-law's family matter, and he will not be able to say much.

"The kid also knows how to attack the heart!" The corners of Lu Bu's mouth went up, he didn't know whether to laugh, or what he was thinking, looking at the marching soldiers and horses outside, his eyes were deep, his cheap son-in-law sent a messenger to Fancheng In addition to disgusting Yuzhou Liu Bei, there is also a desire to redeem the children of the Zhang family, as well as Taishou Song Zhong and those Fancheng soldiers, on the surface, it is Liu Mang's kindness, but in fact, it is Liu Mang's heart attack technique.

The children of the Zhang family are useless in Liu Bei's hands, but Liu Mang sent a messenger, which shows that Liu Mang's sincerity to the Zhang family is also a good intention, whether it is successful or not, the Zhang family will be grateful to Liu Mang, and then get a good impression of the Jingzhou scholars.

As for Taishou Song Zhong, that is a great Confucian. Although useless water scarcity has a reputation. Liu Mang's price is not small. Song Zhong is worth 5,000 gold alone, this price is comparable to the second son of Jiangdong who was once captured by Yangzhou, but Liu Mang is not distressed, because this is equivalent to buying bones with a thousand gold, Liu Mang's action is for the scholars in Jingzhou to see, Song Zhong is also a great Confucian in the world no matter how he says it, and the redemption of Song Zhong with 5,000 gold is completely a thousand gold to buy bones, so this Jingzhou scholars. Those students of Lumen Academy are still rushing to Yangzhou.

The ransom of those Jingzhou soldiers was not that Liu Mang was rich, but that Liu Mang didn't want the defenders of Fancheng to be used by Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei agrees, of course he can take out this gold, but can he Liu Bei get away, if Liu Bei doesn't agree, then Liu Mang's favor will also be done, and the scholars in the Zhang family and Jingzhou will think about Liu Mang's good.

Similarly, Liu Bei, the defender of Fancheng, really couldn't use it.

"Lord, lord! Oh no! Liu Beigang hurriedly sent away the messenger sent by Liu Mang in a hurry, and before the anger was eliminated, Liao Hua ran in with a bad face.

"What's the matter!" In the past few days, everything has been unpleasant, and Liu Bei is almost used to being angry.

"My lord. I don't know where the news came from, saying that Jingzhou sent an envoy to redeem those defenders of Fancheng. But the lord didn't agree, and the news came out that once the city was broken, the defenders of Fancheng were not to blame for their mistakes! Liao Hua quickly finished speaking.

"What!" Liu Bei stood up and sent an envoy to discuss how long it had been happening and how it had reached Fancheng.

"Lord, we have been fooled!" Jian Yong on the side thought about it and suddenly said to Liu Bei. "My lord, this is a strategy to attack the heart."

There were 30,000 defenders in Fancheng itself before the city was broken, except for Zhao Yun who killed a wave, there was no damage to the others, when Zhang Gui was captured and sent away, at least more than 20,000 defenders in Fancheng were captured, and Liu Bei let Xiliang Tie ride into the city when he was only allowed to rob and not kill people and set fires, and these Qiang barbarians were also obedient.

So the people in the city didn't hurt much, and these Fancheng defenders didn't have any big resentment against Liu Bei and didn't make trouble, Liu Bei was ready to send some generals to accept these Fancheng defenders in the future, and used the original Jingzhou soldiers and horses to guard this Jingzhou city, because these Fancheng soldiers were also afraid.

After all, they lost the city, and the responsibility for losing their land was not small, they were afraid that they would be questioned if they returned to Jingzhou, so Liu Bei's reception work was still carried out in an orderly manner, and if it succeeded, then Liu Bei's soldiers and horses could increase to 50,000 at once.

There are 35,000 soldiers and horses defending the city, and there are 15,000 Xiliang iron cavalry on standby, so that the walls of Fancheng City are strong, and there is no problem with so much grain and grass to guard for a year and a half.

But now there is a problem with accepting these Fancheng defenders.

The army was in turmoil, the hearts of these captives were in turmoil, they were originally afraid that they would be implicated in Jingzhou's recapture of Fancheng, so they did not resist Liu Bei's acceptance.

But now it's different, Jingzhou Liu Biao actually said that he wanted to blame the past, and sent an envoy to redeem them, this group of original Jingzhou soldiers, now Fancheng prisoners, that is really in a hot mood, although Liu Biao, the lord, does not have a pioneering and enterprising heart, for those generals or something, may not be a good lord, but for these soldiers is a big master, which soldier likes to fight, war is to die, Jingzhou also has a war in Jiangxia, and other times are peaceful and prosperous, and Jingzhou Liu Biao's food and salary are much better than other places, and the food in the army is also much better, many of these Fancheng defenders have already taken root in Fancheng, and they can't understand Liu Bei's future at all, they are just ordinary soldiers, but they don't have what those strategists see Liu Bei is a traitor or something.

Therefore, the defenders of Fancheng, who were originally willing to surrender, were also unwilling to rise.

"This defender of Fancheng can't be used!" Liu Bei said hatefully, such a gang of troops who messed up the morale of the army, Liu Bei really didn't dare to use it, if the city gate was suddenly opened when defending the city, the fun would be really big, this Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang had a plan.

"Come, put all the captives in custody for me, lock them in the camp in the city, put them under their armor, and kill them if necessary!" Liu Bei didn't have the slightest sympathy, he wouldn't be soft-hearted, if the princes would be soft-hearted, they would have become dry bones in the grave.

"Yes!" Liao Hua nodded and took the order, now it's okay, Liu Bei not only doesn't need more than 20,000 prisoners, but even has to send a team of soldiers and horses to guard these prisoners, which is simply a loss for his wife and soldiers.

"Xianhe, where is the combined army of Jingzhou and Yangzhou!" Liu Bei asked Jian Yong's military situation.

"It's already over the Yangtze River and appears fifty miles away from Fancheng!" Jian Yong replied.

"It's coming!" Liu Bei's vision deepened, and it would take fifty miles and a day and a half to get there. (To be continued......)
