Tai Shici and his entourage of 2,000 people, followed the Zhou Tai escort fleet south, starting from Tangshan Port directly to Jianye Port, they didn't even get off the ship, just replaced the flag with the flag of the Jingzhou Navy, and then went up the river with Cai He, who greeted them, and floated on the water for more than half a month along the way, before landing in Xiangyang Port, these two thousand elite cavalry soldiers, even standing a little shaky, it seems that the cavalry still can't replace the marines.

Cai Mao and Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and Pang Ji and other representatives of the Jingxiang clan all greeted Tai Shici's arrival on the dock, the scene was not big or small, it was low-key and grand, people who didn't care much about this matter may not know that Tai Shici had arrived in Xiangyang at all, but the people who always pay attention to Xiangyang will naturally know that Cai Mao's strong reinforcements have arrived.

Among the people who are concerned, there are aborigines and players, among the aborigines, it is natural that Liu Bei is most concerned about this matter, Liu Bei's representative Sun Qian has arrived in Xiangyang in advance, and has been consulting with Cai Mao and others for a considerable period of time, bargaining over the division of Jingzhou's forces.

One side is ill-intentioned and wants the other party to go to the front to face the thunder, and the other side wants to empty gloves and white wolves, trying to take away the richest place in Jingzhou, fortunately, there are not many people in the Jingxiang clan who can fight, but there are many people who can play tricks, so it is not inferior to Sun Qian, and even exceeded!

The arrival of Tai Shi Ci naturally increased Sun Gan's pressure, in fact, Sun Gan's biggest bargaining chip to suppress the Jingxiang clan was the overwhelming superiority of military strength, and now Cai Mao's strong reinforcements will almost certainly have a serious impact on the negotiations, even if the Jingxiang clan suddenly overturns some of the previous consensus, Sun Qian is not surprised.

Perhaps, in the end, it will be a little bit of a dozen. Then things get easy.

Tai Shi Ci only attended the reception banquet on the first night, and Tai Shi Ci refused all the banquets after that. Moreover, Tai Shici arranged his residence in Cai Mao's home, expressing his absolute support for Cai Mao, which made Cai Mao very pleased, and also made many careful thoughts of the Jingxiang clan disappear.

According to Tai Shi Ci's request, Cai Mao gathered the elite defenders from all over the country towards Xiangyang, so that Tai Shi Ci could select the elite training into the core combat force of Xiangyang, and the other troops could also be controlled by Cai Mao in disguise by the way through this filter, waiting for the whole training. The generals were then rearranged and then returned to the local government as a favorable means for Cai Mao to strengthen the control of the central government.

Of course, Cai Mao didn't know that Tai Shi Ci still had private goods in this plan, and of course Tai Shi Ci would not be stupid enough to ask Cai Mao about Huang Zhong and Wei Yan.

However, Cai Mao will not fully believe Tai Shici. Therefore, I want to mix sand with Tai Shici. Tai Shi Ci naturally agreed, so Kuai Yue served as the Sima of the newly formed Xiangyang Jian Cavalry Battalion, and Pang Ji served as the chief historian. Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng served as captains of the left and right infantry armies, Wen appointed former military captains, and Huang Zu served as lieutenants of the rear army.

Seeing that Tai Shici agreed to the relevant personnel arrangements without hesitation, those Jingxiang clans who were still highly vigilant against Fang Zhiwen let go of their worries a little, and began to believe that Fang Zhiwen really just wanted business interests in Jingzhou and a certain amount of influence. And this influence needs to be achieved with the help of the power of the Jingxiang clan, therefore. The foundation of cooperation between the two sides is indeed quite solid, which is also the reason why Tai Shici cooperates extraordinarily.

Not to mention how the Jingxiang clan led by Kuai Yue found a little trouble for Tai Shi Ci, and wanted to make things difficult for Tai Shi Ci. After Liu Bei of Wancheng got Sun Qian's information, he immediately organized his army to the south and marched towards Xinye, wanting to give Cai Mao a little color, and by the way, to see what the bottom line and attitude of the Jingxiang clan were.

Of course, if the Xiangyang army can be directly defeated by the way, it will naturally be an acceptable result, at most, don't go too far, as long as the Jingxiang clan obediently cedes Xiangyang County, it won't be too much for themselves!

Of course, Liu Bei is just fantasizing like this, if he wants to break through Xinye, it is not only difficult, but more importantly, what is the use of Xinye, if he can't take Xiangyang in one go, Liu Bei will confront Cai Mao under Xiangyang City, and the Yellow Turban Army behind the ass will give Liu Bei to burst the chrysanthemum, or those clans in the Central Plains will not let go of this opportunity in vain.

Therefore, Liu Bei waved his army south, more to demonstrate, and by the way, to fight a dozen of Tai Shici's arrogance, so that Cai Mao should not think that with Fang Zhiwen's support, he could lift his tail to the sky, and it was better to return to the negotiation table honestly!

Taishi Cicai established a structure for the Xiangyang Jian Cavalry Battalion, where Liu Bei's army had arrived outside Xinye City, Cai Mao was so anxious that his face turned pale, fortunately, there was also a clear person Kuailiang on the side to comfort him, and give him an analysis Liu Bei didn't dare to do anything at all, at most he was to scare and scare people, the problem is, Liu Bei's army is really capable of scaring people, and the clans of Xinye have fled into Xiangyang City to find Cai Mao to cry!

When Cai Mao took Kuai Liang to find Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ci was discussing with Kuai Yue and Wen Ping about how to rebuild the training ground in the military camp in Xiangyang City, and when he heard the news that Liu Bei went south to Xinye, Tai Shi Ci just smiled faintly and asked:

"Does Lord Cai want me to drive Liu Bei back, or do you want to destroy him?"

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, Kuai Yue rolled his eyes dissatisfied, obviously not interested in the big talk with Tai Shici, and Wen Ping frowned and thought about something.

"General Taishi, don't be joking, as long as the general can block Liu Bei, I will be satisfied1 Cai Mao touched the sweat on his forehead and said.

Tai Shi Ci pursed his lips, glanced at a circle of people with heavy expressions, and said proudly: "Lord Cai's requirements are really low!" But it's okay, the lord and Liu Bei have a love affair, and they shouldn't act too ruthlessly, speaking of which, the lord still hopes that all parties in Jingzhou can be restrained, and any contradictions can be discussed at the negotiation table! Now that Liu Bei is leading his army south, I'm afraid he came out to hunt in the autumn, in that case, why don't we go hunting with it? ”

"General, we're just going to do this now, is the general sure that he won't be swallowed by others?" Kuai Yue said with a little yin and yang.

"Kuai Sima, you should ask Lieutenant Wen Pingdu to see if he thinks that his former army will be swallowed by Liu Bei?"

Not only Kuai Yue, but everyone's eyes looked at Wen Ping, who paused for a moment and said solemnly: "No, if my former army is stationed in Xinye City." In less than a month or two, Liu Bei's army didn't want to take Xinye. ”

Tai Shi Ci smiled coldly: "The front army is only 20,000 people. Wen Ping Du Wei dared to say that he would not lose the rest of the moon in Xinye, and I Tai Shi Ci commanded two thousand elites, but I really wanted to see who in the world dared to swallow it in one bite1

Kuai Liang's eyes lit up, and he said, "In that case, how about going north for autumn hunting?" ”

Cai Mao also figured it out at this moment, no matter what, Liu Bei's provocation had to continue, and he definitely couldn't hide. Once he hid, the morale of the entire Jingxiang clan collapsed, and the people's hearts were scattered, and now Cai Mao was forced to go to the shelf. All the Jingxiang clans are only the head of their horses, although they are very glorious. But again, this responsibility is heavy, this weight. Far more unbearable than the rise and fall of the Cai family, Cai Mao felt that he was indeed not a qualified leader

Looking at everyone's earnest or playful eyes, Cai Mao gritted his teeth and said, "Then go north to Xinye, everything depends on General Taishi 1."

Tai Shi Ci said solemnly: "It should be all dependent on the soldiers of the Jian Cavalry Battalion1

"Yes. Everything depends on all the soldiers of the Jiancai Battalion, the future of Jingxiang, and the well-being of Jingxiang's fathers. It was in their hands at the moment.1

Tai Shi Ci bowed his hand: "This is as it should be, they are Jing Xiang's children, if they don't protect their fathers, who else can they protect1."

After speaking, Tai Shi Ci turned around and said to the generals behind him: "The middle army and the front army of the Jiancai battalion are ready for battle, tomorrow the troops will send Xinye, Kuai Yue Sima will follow the army, and after the other follow-up troops arrive in Xiangyang, they will start training immediately according to the training code that the captains have obtained, and ask Pang Ji Changshi to be responsible for supervision." Ladies and gentlemen, please meet at the barracks tomorrow and set off. ”

"No1

"Yes1

The barracks immediately began to liven up, the various departments began to pack up and prepare logistics, and the command structure of the newly built cavalry battalion immediately began to be tested...... When Liu Bei's three brothers led 20,000 cavalry to Xinye, Tai Shici had already led the 20,000 former army of Wen Ping, as well as his elite guards, to meet them ten miles outside the city, and they were ready to fight.

Cai Mao sat on horseback with some sweat, although Cai Mao is the commander of the Xiangyang Navy, but the real war has not been fought, on the water, the Xiangyang Navy's ships are tall and many, and fighting water thieves is simply bullying, even if you can't fight at all, Cai Mao, the general, in general, is basically a newcomer to the battlefield!

Compared with Cai Mao's nervousness, the performance of the Kuai brothers is better, Kuai Yue will save face no matter when, while Kuai Liang firmly believes in his inference and thinks that Liu Bei is not here to fight, so his mentality is very stable.

Tai Shi Ci quickly swept over everyone's faces, and sure enough, as the eldest brother's judgment before he came, the most valuable in the Jingxiang clan are the Kuai family brothers, and now the most capable generals are only Wen Ping, as for Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, they have not been found for the time being.

Liu Bei's army rushed forward with smoke and dust, until the distance was only about a mile, and then the troops stopped and began to reorganize the army, quickly arranging the formation one by one, and it was also a posture of preparing for war.

"Lord Cai, Liu Bei's army training is acceptable, and it can basically be forbidden, but the troops of the middle army and the front army should be of elite level, the left and right armies are slightly worse, and the rear army is the worst, it should be the level of strong soldiers, and the cavalry on both wings is a total of four thousand, which is completely waste."

Tai Shi Ci commented on Liu Bei's army very casually, and his relaxed attitude gradually eased Cai Mao's nervousness, and as he began to follow Tai Shi Ci's guidance to carefully observe the enemy army, the fear and worry in his heart were forgotten.

"If there is a real battle, my cavalry will attack from the left and right flanks, and after defeating the opposing cavalry, first completely break up the enemy's rear army, and then linger behind it to wait, the enemy will inevitably be in a dilemma, and our infantry will win this battle as long as they are deployed and hold on1

Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief, the solemnity and gloom on her face disappeared, and she was replaced with a smile that had been rare in the past few days, and the whole person looked much gentler.

At this moment, a horn suddenly sounded on the opposite side, and a group of cavalry rumbled and galloped over!

"What's going on? They went to war? ”rq！ ~！
