Now, without Liu Ming's internal response, it will be very difficult to rely on internal response to deliver news in the future to know Zhuge Liang's movements in advance.

Although Zhang Fei died at his hands, he was not disgusted to Zhuge Liang, and he was still unwilling to defeat Zhuge Liang without a real defeat.

thought that he would win the battle, and in the end, he released Zhuge Liang by himself, but in the end, he didn't even see Zhuge Liang's figure.

"Husband!"

"No problem!"

At this time—

In the distance, Cai Mao noticed the movement here, and when he looked around, the good guy had five thousand cavalry.

But after a little observation, I saw that it was Zhang Fan.

Suddenly, the whole person was not good.

"Lord!"

"The Lord forgives you for your sins."

I saw Cai Mao running and running, and before Zhang Fan's war horse approached, the person had already knelt down and kept walking towards Zhang Fan.

He's scared!

Zhang Fan's prestige, no one knows, this is now lost Wulin, and Zhuge Liang is released, according to Zhang Fan's temperament, he will definitely die.

It's not because he's not afraid.

As early as the beginning, he was still thinking of various methods, and even escaped had already been thought of.

But I still didn't dare.

Zhang Fan's deterrent power, as well as a little luck, made him feel that it was possible to survive if he didn't escape, but if he escaped, he would definitely die, and it might implicate his two brothers and even the entire Cai family.

At this time, Zhang Fan didn't say anything about Cai Mao's style, and asked the generals behind him to arrange camping, and then dismounted.

didn't scruple about anything, Zhang Fan just sat in front of Cai Mao, cross-legged, tilting his head to look at Cai Mao.

This casual posture did not make Cai Mao relax, but became more nervous.

He didn't even dare to say anything more about begging for mercy.

"How did you lose?"

After a long time, Zhang Fan opened his mouth to ask, and his tone was like chatter.

Hearing this, Cai Mao raised her head and hurriedly lowered her head.

"Back to the lord, my subordinates never thought that Zhuge Liang would be from me, Wulin, for a while...... There was some negligence for a while. ”

This is true, let alone Cai Mao, even Zhang Fan didn't expect Zhuge Liang to break through from here.

But that's not an excuse.

Cai Mao now has thousands under his command, how many are there around Zhuge Liang?

At best, it's only two thousand, and it actually attacked him, a port fortress?

At this time, Zhang Fan did not speak, obviously not satisfied with this answer.

Cai Mao also knew, so she answered 1510.

Even, he didn't dare to hide that he found a woman to have fun......

"Zhuge Liang, I don't know where to find a bunch of carts full of forage, poured with fire oil, and more than a hundred soldiers, led by several captains, rushed to the port."

"In an instant, the fire was pervasive, spreading, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Zhuge Liang also ordered the rocket to be released."

"While ordering people to put out the fire, his subordinates organized soldiers to prepare to resist, but at this time Zhuge Liang ordered a charge."

"They, if nothing else, rushed straight to the important places of my port, intending to seize the ship and flee."

"In this battle, our army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, most of whom were burned to death."

Speaking of this, Cai Mao was silent, and lowered her head as if she had been greatly wronged.

And Zhang Fan smiled again.

"How about the casualties on Zhuge Liang's side?"

"This ......"

To be honest, Cai Mao has not yet counted.

It also happened that at this time, the captain who had talked to Cai Mao and wrote a letter ran over.

"Lord, general, the casualties are out."

"Our army suffered nine hundred and twenty-seven casualties, one hundred and thirty-two seriously wounded and three hundred and fifty-three."

"Zhuge Liang's side, the corpse left behind ......"

"Less than three hundred!"

This, or this lieutenant, said more, in fact, it is a little bit of a head of two hundred.

Hearing this report, Cai Mao sweated like rain.

Zhang Fan nodded, stood up and patted the dust on his body, and looked at this Wulin.

A port was attacked by fire, and it was successfully escaped from here.

"That's what makes it interesting."

Leaving a sentence that made Cai Mao inexplicable, Zhang Fan returned to the war horse.

"Clean up the mess, and you'll be here in the future!"

After speaking, Zhang Fan left with Huang Yueying and others.

did not promise to increase his troops because Cai Mao had too few personnel at this time.

However, when Cai Zhongcai and Cai He returned from completing the mission, his people were still nearly 10,000 people, and it was enough to garrison a port.

……

Time has passed a few days, and the newly exchanged axe cavalry has all returned to Xiangyang, along with Jia Xu.

Cai Zhong Cai He, also because he knew about Wulin, hurriedly went back to assist his brother in garrisoning.

But in fact, they all knew that Zhuge Liang would definitely not attack again in a short period of time, because he had no one available.

As for Zhang Fan, he stayed in the county guard mansion for a few days.

It's not that he was discouraged and decadent because Zhuge Liang escaped, he just thought about how to govern and manage Jingzhou well.

Jia Xu and Kuai Yue have been accompanying each other, and the three of them can be said to have chatted for several days.

Recruited soldiers were chosen.

Now, the seven counties of Jingzhou are in his hands.

He ordered that each county should recruit 10,000 troops for the time being, and that the county lieutenant should be in charge of the security of each county.

To put it bluntly, it is the local soldiers who maintain law and order, and they usually patrol and visit, and if there are cottage bandits, they will be exterminated.

However, Zhang Fan also instructed those county guards who were close to the enemy to take precautions, and once the enemy attacked, they would report immediately.

Because of Zhang Fan's prestige, the six counties except Xiangyang all began to be executed immediately.

As for the Jingzhou army under Zhang Fan's current command, he has not reduced, but is also recruiting troops in Xiangyang, preparing to recruit 100,000 troops.

And just like that, another few days passed.

If you don't know how expensive rice, oil, and salt are, Zhang Fan really knows it.

I don't know if he is really a saint, as soon as the recruitment began, it reached the number he asked for in a few days.

The 100,000 Jingzhou army is completely complete, including Cai Mao's Jingzhou First Army of 10,000, and Leng Peng's Jingzhou Second Army.

In addition, the system soldiers, the local army, in short, this is a huge number, and it also creates a daily grain and grass, and the need is extraordinary.

Fortunately, Leng Peng has been wandering in Jingzhou for nearly half a month, and where there are mountain bandits and grass bandits, he will go there, but it has brought Zhang Fan a huge income.

Also, as the beginning of the month approaches, his systematic taxation, as well as his stipulation that the taxes of the seven counties of Jingzhou will be collected on the first day of January, will be added immediately.

Moreover, it is still a big stroke.

Perhaps it is a virtuous circle, because there are no bandits and grass bandits, and the world is encouraged to do business, and taxes are specially reduced, and many businessmen have rushed to this Jingzhou after hearing about it.

In terms of the people, because they were about to plant again, they were very willing to go to farming after learning about Zhang Fan's policy, although the harvest was still very long, but they finally had hope.

And Zhang Fan is very tired of dealing with these trivial matters, but fortunately, now he has finally dealt with them almost.

And the day came when he would meet Simbi.

"This guy is probably impatient to wait, right?"
