Cai Mao's idea at this time is that if you go outside, you must first settle inside.

Su Ming is the outside, and Liu Bei is the inside.

Want to defeat Su Ming and recapture Jiangxia County.

The first thing to do is to drive Liu Bei out of Jingzhou first, and let him know that this Jingzhou is not a place where he Liu Xuande can get his hands on it.

It is precisely because of this idea that Pang Tong was able to persuade Cai Mao to cooperate with him.

For the time being, Cai Mao and Su Ming now belong to comrades-in-arms on the same front.

They now have a common enemy, and that enemy is Liu Bei.

Before defeating Liu Bei, the key between them was unbreakable.

Cai Mao knew that Pang Tong came to see him again at this time, so it must be that there is another situation in Xinye County.

After thinking of this, Cai Mao hurriedly said enthusiastically: "Quick, please come over with Pang Tongjun." ”

After the herald received Cai Mao's order, he hurriedly went out to invite Pang Tong to come.

After a long while, Pang Tong was invited to Cai Mao's flagship, and Cai Mao also came to the deck to greet him in person.

"Master Pang, why are you here again?" After seeing Pang Tong, Cai Mao greeted him warmly.

After seeing Cai Mao, Pang Tong's face became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Hey! ”

"General Cai! Then Liu Xuande is anti-hearted! ”

"After your eldest son, Liu Qi, entered Xinye City with Liu Jingzhou's order, he never came out again."

"Not only that, Liu Xuande also sent people to attack our army's camp, and in addition, sent people to Jiangdong to ask for help."

After listening to Pang Tong's words, Cai Mao's eyes widened, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

Cai Mao: "?????? ”

Cai Mao thought to herself, is there such a good thing?

Liu Xuande, you are confused! You're so confused!

I'm seeing that there's no reason to do it to you! Now, you've put the handle in the palm of my hand.

Originally, Cai Mao still thought that even if Liu Bei obeyed Liu Biao's order and handed over the person to Su Ming.

At that time, even if Su Ming retired from the army, he would have to find an excuse to kill Liu Bei.

Now it's okay, there is no need to find excuses, he can send troops in a dignified and justifiable manner.

Liu Bei, I want to see this time, you can't die!

Cai Mao was proud in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be angry in front of Pang Tong.

"Smack!" Cai Mao slapped on the side of the boat next to him and roared angrily: "Okay, he's Liu Xuande, he really has a backbone in the back of his head!" ”

"He dares to disobey my brother-in-law's orders today, and tomorrow he dares to kill my brother-in-law and take Jingzhou himself."

"Today, I'm going to kill Liu Bei and clean up the portal."

As Pang Tong said, the person who wants to kill Liu Bei the most is him Cai Mao.

Because, Liu Bei's arrival directly threatened Cai Mao's status in Jingzhou.

As a local family in Jingzhou, Jingzhou is the basic plate of the Cai family, and Liu Bei, an outsider, wants to get a piece of the pie in Jingzhou, which is to take food from the Cai family.

You must know that even when Liu Biao was the pastor of Jingzhou, he had to marry the daughter of the Cai family in order to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou.

He Liu Xuande wanted to get a piece of the pie in Jingzhou when he came to Jingzhou, isn't this a fool's dream?

Cai Mao has made it clear that he wants to clean up the portal, so the main force attacking Xinye this time is him Cai Mao and Jingzhou soldiers and horses.

This time, it is not only to take Jingzhou, but also to avoid its own casualties.

However, sometimes, when it's time to take a stand, you still have to take a stand.

"General Cai, Liu Xuande should not be underestimated, especially his second brother Guan Yu and third brother Zhang Fei, all of whom have the courage of ten thousand people."

"If General Cai cleans up the portal, if there is anything he needs help, my lord is willing to help."

"There are a few generals under my lord's command who can block Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, if the general needs help, my lordship is willing to send help." Pang Tong took the lead in speaking.

Pang Tong's words are also very clear, if you need help, we can support you a few generals and help you resist Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

However, we are not a soldier, and you have to use your own soldiers and horses to attack the city.

Everyone understands people, Pang Tong's meaning, and Cai Mao also heard it.

However, since it was to clean up the portal, Cai Mao didn't want Su Ming to interfere.

Su Ming was able to support several of his generals and help him deal with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, which already made him satisfied.

The main reason is that no one under his command can compete with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's generals, otherwise, he doesn't want Su Ming to interfere at all.

After all, Su Ming is an outsider, and when he joins forces with Su Ming, he is also afraid of being criticized.

"Thank you, Master Pang!"

"Thank you for me." Cai Mao said to Pang Tong.

Cai Mao talked with Pang Tongxu for a long time and discussed some strategies to attack Xinye County.

After chatting for a long time, Pang Tong simply didn't leave, and stayed directly on Cai Mao's flagship.

Anyway, Cai Mao also went to Xinye County, and he Pang Tong also returned to Xinye, and followed Cai Mao's army to march, which was also just a stop.

After arranging for Pang Tong to go down to rest, Cai Mao first repaired a letter and told his brother-in-law Liu Biao that Liu Bei did not obey his orders, and this kid had a backlash in the back of his head, and I was going to clean up the portal.

However, Cai Mao wrote to the officials near Xinye County, ordering them to gather the surrounding county soldiers and come to support.

Because when Cai Mao came, Liu Biao had already issued a document to Cai Mao, if Liu Bei did not follow the order, let Cai Mao dispose of it at his discretion.

Now that Liu Bei really didn't obey the order, then Cai Mao has the right to clean up the portal.

Cai Mao took this idea to mobilize nearby county soldiers from the beginning, which was also a matter of course.

In fact, the soldiers and horses brought by Cai Mao this time were not small, and the reason why the nearby county soldiers were mobilized to support was also to break through Xinye County as soon as possible and kill Liu Bei, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Cai Mao was also afraid that his brother-in-law would regret it and not let him kill Liu Bei again, which would be troublesome.

The other side.

Since Liu Bei sent people to Jiangdong to ask for help, this Xinye county town has been strictly guarded all day long.

He arranged a lot of people to defend every day, and he didn't dare to be negligent day and night, just for fear that Su Ming would suddenly attack his Xinye County.

In Liu Bei's opinion, once Su Ming knew that they were going to Jiangdong for help, he would definitely capture Xinye County as soon as possible.

After all, once Jiangdong came to support, he Su Ming would be attacked on his back.

Not only Liu Bei thinks so, but even Zhuge Liang, a person who is almost a demon, also thinks so.

However, Su Ming's actions were completely unexpected, and Su Ming did not attack Xinye County at all.

It is still only besieged and not attacked, and a few days ago he sent people to show off his might in Xinye County, but now, he doesn't even go to the city to show off his might.

Anyway, it's to block Xinye County, not to mention that the people in Xinye County go out, and even the birds can't fly out.

Moreover, after the lesson of Zhao Yun escaping with Zhuge Jun last time, Su Ming blocked it more tightly.

Liu Bei's scouts couldn't go out to find out the news at all, and for a while, Liu Bei didn't know anything about the outside world, as if he had become blind and deaf.
