On the night of the third day after Zhuge Jun left Xinye County, Cai Mao's army had already arrived near Xinye County.

Cai Mao's army came by boat, and at this time, all the ships stopped on the river.

Among the flagships, the generals under Cai Mao gathered.

Cai Mao's desire to kill Liu Bei was very urgent, so the speed at which he came was quite fast.

It's not just fast!

Cai Mao had just arrived at this time, and he didn't even rest, and he was going to attack Xinye County overnight.

Liu Bei is not a day, and Cai Mao is uneasy in his heart.

"Our army is now only more than 20 miles away from Xinye County, tonight, I am ready to attack the city overnight, what do you think?" Cai Mao asked towards his generals.

This tone is not a discussion at all, he has already made a decision by himself, and now this tone is to inform everyone present.

At this time, one of the generals under Cai Mao stood up and said in a deep voice: "General, it's not a problem to attack Xinye County overnight. ”

"However, the soldiers can't go hungry to fight Xinye County?"

"The brothers were on the road overnight, day and night, and now their stomachs are empty, and they really don't have the strength."

"Otherwise, let's bury the pot and cook first, and after we're full, let's attack Xinye County!"

During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.

I had a full meal in the morning, because I had to work during the day! This meal will last a day.

This meal in the evening is a little cushion, anyway, after falling asleep at night, I don't feel hungry.

The same is true in this barracks.

The soldiers ate in the evening, and they didn't eat much, so they could withstand it if they just rested and slept.

If you go to war, you can't stand it without food in your stomach!

Listening to the words of the general under him, Cai Mao couldn't help but nod his head in approval.

This opinion is also very reasonable.

As the saying goes, the emperor is not hungry soldiers, and when the emperor lets the soldiers fight, he still has to let people eat enough?

What's more, he Cai Mao.

Thinking of this, Cai Mao nodded and responded: "That's right, you should bury the pot and make food, and let the soldiers eat before fighting." ”

As soon as Cai Mao's words came out, Zhang Yun on the side shook his head again and again: "No, no!" ”

"Absolutely not!"

Cai Mao is

Zhang Yun and Cai Mao are two good partners, and usually, Zhang Yun is Cai Mao's dog-headed military advisor.

Hearing that Zhang Yun stopped himself from burying the pot and cooking, Cai Mao's face couldn't help but sink, and she said sternly: "Zhang Yun, you are too ignorant. ”

"How can there be a reason for the soldiers to fight hungry, the soldiers can't even eat, how can they fight Xinye and kill Liu Bei."

Not to mention that the soldiers are fed, as long as they can fight Xinye and kill Liu Bei, Cai Mao is for these soldiers, and he is willing to find a girl for one person!

Hearing Cai Mao's dissatisfied tone, Zhang Yun hurriedly explained: "General, it's not that the soldiers are not fed. ”

"We are now less than twenty miles away from Xinye County, if we wantonly bury the pot to make rice, then there will be fire and smoke everywhere."

"If Liu Bei stands on Xinye City, he will be able to find our traces."

"And it's too late! We didn't prepare before, but now we are burying the pot and making rice, and after it is done, after the soldiers have finished eating, the day will be almost dawn. ”

"As soon as the sky is bright, how can we talk about attacking Xinye County at night!"

After listening to Zhang Yun's words, Cai Mao fell into deep thought.

What Zhang Yun said also makes sense!

Now I start making rice, it's too late to talk about it, and it's easy to be exposed.

For a while, Cai Mao fell into hesitation.

Now if you want to fight Xinye, you can only let the soldiers fight hungry, hungry, and the probability of defeating Xinye is very low.

Otherwise, you will have to wait until tomorrow during the day.

However, if you fight during the day tomorrow, you will lose the advantage of a night attack.

After thinking about it, Cai Mao couldn't make up her mind.

"Hey!"

"If only some bread could fall from the sky and give my soldiers a full meal!" Cai Mao patted her thigh and said.

I only hate myself for not preparing food in advance, otherwise, I would have been able to attack Shinno at night.

At this time, a herald from outside walked in and reported to Cai Maoyu: "General Qiyu, Mr. Pang Tong asks to see you." ”

Pang Tong came to Xinye County with Cai Mao, but because Pang Tong was Su Ming's person after all, Cai Mao did not let him participate in this meeting.

Unexpectedly, this time Pang Tong actually took the initiative to ask to meet.

After thinking about it, Cai Mao thought to herself, she just can't make up her mind now, Pang Tong came just in time, just to help herself get an idea.

After thinking of this, Cai Mao immediately ordered: "Please come in, sir." ”

As soon as Pang Tong came in, Cai Mao told Pang Tong everything about the past like pouring beans on a bamboo tube.

"Mr. Pang, do you say I should fight or not?" Cai Mao said with some confusion.

Pang Tong thought to himself, you must fight, my father-in-law, is waiting to see you and Liu Bei dog-eat-dog, a mouthful of hair!

Moreover, in order to let Cai Mao and Liu Bei fight, Pang Tong was fully prepared.

Pang Tong smiled slightly: "General, did I come to see you specifically to relieve your worries?" ”

"Isn't it just a little bit of food? My lord, I've got it ready for you! ”

"Now the ships full of jerky and flatbread are docked on the shore, and the general has sent for them."

Pang Tong calculated the time this morning and knew that Cai Mao was going to arrive at night.

He expected that Cai Mao was eager to kill Liu Bei and must want to attack at night.

However, Cai Mao was on the road day and night all day long, so she didn't have time to prepare food in advance.

After Pang Tong thought of all this, this morning, he sent someone to meet Su Ming on a speedboat and asked Su Ming to help Cai Mao prepare the food in advance.

After all, they prepared food and solved Cai Mao's logistical problems, so that Cai Mao could attack Liu Bei at night!

Hearing Pang Tong's words, Cai Mao said very excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Pang." ”

After Pang Tong finished offering food, he didn't stay long, and left directly.

Pang Tong left, and Cai Mao hurriedly instructed the generals under his command: "Go to a few people, bring the food, and divide it evenly among the soldiers." ”

"I'll give you an hour, and after an hour, we'll go to Xinye County with all our strength and attack the city immediately."

After the soldiers also left, Zhang Yun said with a little doubt: "This Su Ming's intention is too obvious!" ”

"This is clearly for us to help him beat Liu Bei!"

However, Cai Mao waved his hand and said indifferently: "As long as I can kill Liu Xuande, I am willing to make a knife for Su Ming for him." ”

Cai Mao is far more than Su Ming wants to kill Liu Bei, as long as he can kill Liu Bei, he doesn't care about other things.

It doesn't matter what casualties there are, anyway, the most important thing in Jingzhou is the source of soldiers.

This time there were heavy casualties, and when he returned, he would be able to replenish the soldiers.
