Cai Mao was overjoyed when he learned the news that Liu Bei had broken through Wen County, he asked Liu Bei to attack Wen County, the main intention was to weaken Liu Bei's strength, although Liu Bei's performance after entering Jingzhou was very low-key, but Liu Bei contacted Liu Qi, which was unforgivable, and the Cai family did not allow Liu Cong to have other changes before becoming emperor.

"General Cai, Liu Bei's army has talents like Zhuge Liang to give advice, and it is naturally not a problem to be able to break through Wen County." Kuai Yue Dao, the Kuai family has already planned to completely join the camp of the Cai family, Jingzhou needs to be stable, which is in the interests of the Kuai family.

Cai Mao snorted coldly when he heard this: "Zhuge Liang, he is just a fledgling boy, what can he do." ”

"General Cai can't ignore Zhuge Liang, it is said that the Marquis of Jin favors him, and Zhuge Liang is known as Wolong, Jingzhou is rumored to be a Wolong and phoenix chicks to settle the world." Kuai Yue reminded.

"What can be a peace in the world, it's just the words of the water mirror, it can't be true, Liu Bei is just lucky." Cai Mao said.

Seeing that Cai Mao did not raise his vigilance, Kuai Yue said: "General Cai, there is news from Xizuo that there are 3,000 Bingzhou troops in Wen County, and the leader is Xu Huang, the Taishou of Hanoi. Then Kuai Yue briefly described the situation of the battle between the two sides.

Cai Mao's brows furrowed, he suddenly felt that the matter was tricky, if the news of the fine work was true, it would be a little difficult to completely wipe out Liu Bei's forces when he attacked and merged the state this time.

"No matter what Zhuge Liang is capable of, this time Liu Bei will die without a place to be buried." A fierce color flashed in Cai Mao's eyes.

Kuai Yue nodded, and the stronger Liu Bei's strength was, the more uneasy it made him feel uneasy.

And said that Xu Huang led the remnants of the defeated army to return to Huguan, which caused a lot of turmoil in the Bingzhou army, and the Hanoi army also belonged to the Bingzhou army.

The Huguan guards had been replaced by Xu Rong and Xiao Yan at this time, and they were also extremely surprised when they learned the news of Xu Huang's defeat in Wen County.

The scouts of the Bingzhou army were all over the battlefield at this time, and the news about the princes' army continued to reach Huguan and then sent to Jinyang, the vanguard army of the Jingzhou army was only 3,000 people, and Xu Huang had 3,000 soldiers and horses at that time.

Three thousand against three thousand, it was also broken by Liu Bei, how strong is this Liu Bei, although the Bingzhou army has not fought with the Cao army, the princes' armies can compete with the Bingzhou army unless it is the most elite existence in the princes' armies.

Liu Bei's defeat from Xuzhou to Jingzhou was not long, and it was impossible to have too much time to develop his troops.

Xu Huang said: "Liu Bei's combat strength is not as good as that of the Bingzhou army, and the reason for this defeat may be because Liu Bei has an additional military advisor named Zhuge Liang. ”

"Zhuge Liang?" Xu Rong looked puzzled, there was no such character as Zhuge Liang among the princes.

The name of Wolong and Phoenix Chick may be very loud, but Xu Rong has been guarding Yunzhong for many years, and it is impossible for him to know the situation in Jingzhou so carefully.

Xu Huang nodded, and then described the situation of the battle between the two sides in detail, and focused on Zhuge Liang.

After Xu Rong and Xiao Yan listened, they nodded secretly, Xu Huang's use of troops is commendable, even they can't do better, but the state army was defeated in the hands of Liu Bei, and let Liu Bei take Wen County away, which is a little incredible.

"General Xu Huang will stay in Huguan for the time being, and the lord will lead the troops in a few days." Xu Rongdao.

Xu Huang nodded, this time on the battlefield in Hanoi, he was too embarrassed to be defeated, and thousands of elite soldiers in his hands were defeated by the weaker Liu Bei, but defeat in the Bingzhou army is defeated, as a general, he doesn't need too many words, the only thing that can wash away this shame is the battlefield, he is unwilling to return to Jinyang like this.

The three of them discussed the current situation in Huguan, while Xu Huang wrote a detailed document about the situation on the battlefield and ordered someone to send it to Jinyang overnight.

After Lu Bu got the news from Huguan, he smiled bitterly: "This Zhuge Liang is very powerful, and he actually made Xu Gongming suffer setbacks again and again, and then lost Wen County." After speaking, he handed the battlefield situation sent by Xu Huang to Jia Xu on the side.

After reading it, Jia Xu said: "Zhuge Liang is indeed a rare talent, Liu Bei can get Zhuge Liang's help, it is not a small threat, lord, why not let the shadow guard or the flying eagle secretly take action, get rid of this person, and remove a disaster for the state." ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "Wenhe, if such talents are removed, wouldn't it be a huge loss, Benhou just wants to make Zhuge Liang regret his choice in the future, with such an opponent, the future battlefield will be more exciting." ”

Jia Xu nodded, secretly raised his vigilance, Zhuge Liang experienced the battlefield for the first time, he can have such a plan, not to be underestimated, if he grows up in the future, he will be a strong enemy of Bingzhou, at this time Bingzhou has stood on the opposite side of the princes, Jia Xu wants to eradicate all factors that threaten the existence of Bingzhou, Lu Bu can't make up his mind, he is ready to make a secret move.

The intention of the Jingzhou army is Chang'an, if the biggest threat can be eliminated in advance, the defense of Jiguan will be much less under pressure, and the state cannot afford to lose, once the state is broken by the princes' coalition army, the retreat is definitely not Youzhou, but Chang'an.

The terrain of Youzhou is limited, and it is impossible to have much development, and Chang'an is the foundation of the king.

"My lord, the defenders of Huguan have reached 20,000 people, and the relocation of the people of Hanoi to the east of the river is also the end." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu said: "Order the soldiers of all departments to prepare and wait for orders. ”

"No." Jia Xu arched his hand.

Jinyang City is still bustling, but there is a lack of merchants from all over the world, and it always feels that something is missing, and many people are idle because of this.

The people were also worried about the annexation of the state, especially after knowing that the army of the princes would join forces to attack Huguan, the worry spread among the people, and the people discussed more about the war situation of the annexation after dinner.

Some angry people even spontaneously organized donations to donate surplus food from their families to the army, but all of them were persuaded to retire by the officials of the state pastoral office, and the state would not use the grain in the hands of the people until the most critical moment.

The army had increased its training as early as January, and they had to keep themselves in the best condition and prepare to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and compared to the previous training, the various armies seemed somewhat silent, but no one dared to ignore the great anger hidden behind the silence.

Especially under the account of the generals of the various ministries about the current situation, the hatred of the state army for the alliance of the princes reached its peak.
