"What, Xuande actually led an army to Hebei?" Liu Biao heard Liao Hua's report in the Xiangyang meeting hall and was shocked. Liu Bei actually abandoned Xinye and fled back to Hebei? Damn Liu Xuande, did you do this to me? Xinye has been lost, the defense line in Jiangbei has disappeared, and Fancheng has been captured by Cao's army. It is across the river from Xiangyang City. Liu Bei is trying to force himself to death! "General Liao, I heard that Zhuge Liang of Nanyang and Pang Tong of Jingzhou became the emperor's uncle's military advisers?" Although Cai Mao also hated Liu Bei, he was always the governor of Jingzhou. His calmness was probably not as good as that of Liu Biao. "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, Commander Zhuge and Commander Pang are indeed the right and left strategists of our army. Moreover, Commander Zhuge also gave Liu Jingzhou a plan in the hope that Liu Jingzhou can repel Cao's army." Liao Hua bowed his hand and reported back to Liu Biao. "What's the plan?" Liu Biao suppressed the anger in his heart and glanced at Liao Hua. What plan can defeat Cao Jun's 100,000 troops? Moreover, he heard that Cao Cao has already trained his navy in Xudu and will go south soon. Cao's army numbered 100,000, and Jingzhou's army was only over 100,000 at full strength. Moreover, some generals refused to obey his command, especially the four counties in the south of Jingzhou. "Liu Jingzhou, do you know that Cao Jun's 100,000 vanguard cavalry are unable to fight anymore?" Liao Hua smiled slightly, raised his hand and reported back to Liu Biao. "What? Twenty thousand cavalry are unable to fight anymore?" Liu Biao looked at Liao Hua doubtfully. What does it mean that the cavalry is unable to fight anymore? Are all Cao's cavalry idiots? When Cai Mao heard Liao Hua's report, he was stunned. Could the information just now be true? Originally, Cai Mao sent fifty cavalry to explore Cao Jun's defense. Cai Mao is ready. It's enough to get five of the fifty cavalry back. After all, Cao Cao's cavalry has been in the north for many years. However, only five of the exploring cavalry were arrested, and the remaining 45 cavalry returned to Xiangyang. Cai Mao was shocked when he heard the report. This was so unreasonable. Could it be that Cao Jun's cavalry couldn't catch his spies? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Cai Mao once fought against Cao's army stationed in Wancheng, and Zhang Xiu's Xiliang cavalry caused him a lot of losses. Cao Cao's cavalry will never be worse than Xiliang's cavalry. Thinking of this. Cai Mao quickly sent people to control the cavalry spies, because Cai Mao felt that Cao Cao must have bribed his cavalry, otherwise there would never be so many cavalry returning to Xiangyang. Especially when the spies reported the news that all Cao's cavalry were paralyzed, they were scolded by Cai Mao for being ignorant. "My lord, according to the report of our spies, Cao Jun's cavalry is indeed paralyzed." Cai Mao heard Liao Hua's description and confirmed that Cao Jun's cavalry was paralyzed. Because Liao Hua's situation told him that Liao Hua would not lie. If he lied, Liao Hua would definitely die here. "What?" Liu Biao was shocked. Looking at Cai Mao, I got an affirmative answer from Cai Mao's eyes. Liu Biao¡¯s eyes began to rotate non-stop. He looked at Liao Hua and then at Cai Mao. It seems that the paralysis of Cao's cavalry is true. As a result, the battle of Jingzhou will be suspenseful. It will be winter in February. The river may freeze by then, and Cao Jun will definitely cross the river to launch an attack. Xiangyang City is high and deep, and the most lacking thing is the supply of military rations. If Cao's cavalry is capable, Jingzhou's army will have no choice but to defend the city. The peripheral supplies will definitely be cut off by Cao's army. Food and grass from Jiangling cannot be transported in, and Xiangyang can only hold on for a month at most. If Cao Jun's cavalry has no combat power, Liu Biao can set up defenses at the peripheral ports and transport grain and grass into Xiangyang City through waterways. There are 100,000 troops in Xiangyang City. Even if Cao Jun has hundreds of thousands, if there is enough grain and grass, there will be no more than four or five soldiers. The moon cannot defeat Xiangyang. As soon as spring comes, the weather in the south will gradually become hot and humid, and Cao Jun's soldiers will definitely not adapt to it. If Liu Biao arranges his troops properly, he might really be able to defeat Cao Jun. "General Liao, Cao Jun's cavalry is indeed paralyzed?" Liu Biao looked at Liao Hua doubtfully, wanting to get more information from Liao Hua. "Please rest assured, Liu Jingzhou. Our military advisor Zhuge has used a trick to make Cao Jun's cavalry poisoned by horse mosquitoes. Although there is medicine to save it, Cao Jun wants to save the horses. It will be impossible within half a year. Please don't worry Liu Jingzhou!" Liao Hua confidently reported to Liu Biao that Zhuge Liang had ordered Liao Hua to conduct this experiment quietly. Liao Hua was originally unaware of Zhuge Liang's plan, but now he admired Zhuge Liang so much. Horse mosquito? Liu Biao didn't know what it was, but as a native of Jingzhou, Cai Hao knew what horse mosquitoes were. That was what happened when I was a child. My father took his brothers and sisters to the south of Jingzhou to visit relatives. On the way back, the army horses were poisoned by horse mosquitoes. In the end, the entire army of horses was disabled, and he and his father were all killed. After walking in the mountains for several months, he returned to the city. Cai Mao Ben?He is a playboy and does not know what suffering is in the world, but this journey completely changed Cai Mao. From a playboy, he became the most learned one among the Cai family. After years of training, he became the Governor of Jingzhou, Cai Mao! "General Liao, I wonder what will happen if the horses are poisoned by horse mosquitoes? Also, how did Zhuge Liang plan to let Cao Jun's horses be bitten by horse mosquitoes?" Cai Mao already believed Liao Hua, but he was still curious about the process. What did Zhuge Liang use? What method made the horse mosquitoes stare at Cao Jun's horses. "General Cai, are you trying to test me? Okay, come and tell the general." Liao Hua then told Zhuge Liang how he planned on Bowang Slope, and at the same time used the sergeant's feces as a primer to introduce horse mosquitoes into Cao Jun's camp and bite Cao Jun. Cai Hao was told everything about the horses. "What a strategy!" After listening to Liao Hua's description, Liu Biao and Cai Mao praised Zhuge Liang in unison. However, their moods were different. Liu Biao regretted that talents like Zhuge Liang had been missed by him. Originally, the son-in-law of the Huang family, a noble family in Jingzhou, and a civil servant were very demanding for Liu Biao. Cai Mao was sweating in his heart. Judging from Zhuge Liang's performance, Zhuge Liang was indeed a capable counselor, perhaps even better than Kuai Liang and Kuai Tong. He was also the son-in-law of the Huang family in Jingzhou. If he assisted Liu Biao , maybe the Cai family would not be in the current situation. "General Liao, in this case, I am relieved. Brother Xuande has gone north, don't you know General Liao?" Liu Biao glanced at Liao Hua, you have been abandoned by Liu Bei, I am extending an olive branch now, you will definitely be grateful, then Qi Er's power in Jingzhou has another layer of protection. "My lord has told me to stay in Jingzhou and fight with Liu Jingzhou to fight the enemy and resist Cao's thieves! From now on, Hua will obey Liu Jingzhou's orders and will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Liao Hua knelt down and clasped his fists, expressing his determination to Liu Biao. "Okay, General Liao, please get up quickly. Degui, General Liao has just joined our Jingzhou. You must treat your soldiers well. They will all enter Xiangyang City under your control!" Liu Biao quickly helped Liao Hua up and gave instructions to Cai Mao next to him. ¡°What a brother-in-law, you¡¯re still guarding me! Cai Mao knew Liu Biao's plan as soon as he heard Liu Biao's arrangement. Liu Biao put Liao Hua in his military camp, which was nominally under his control, but in reality he put Liao Hua in to divide his generals. At the same time, Liao Hua's soldiers entered the city nominally to take care of the new recruits. In fact, wherever they needed to be taken care of, they had to preserve this army. When Cao and Liu fought, his direct descendants were all outside the city, so they would definitely be the first to be reimbursed! "No! Mao accepts the order!" Cai Mao glanced at Liu Biao, who was already terminally ill. It won't be long before Liu Biao may pass away. Now that Cao Cao's army is approaching, it is better to repel Cao's army first and then deal with Liao Hua's matter. "Okay!" Liu Biao laughed loudly, and Cai Hao agreed on the spot. It seems that Cai Hao still has the overall situation in mind, and defeating Cao Cao is now everyone's unanimous goal. "Come, I'd like to toast General Liao and welcome him to garrison Xiangyang City with us!" Liu Biao was so happy that he forgot the doctor's instructions. He picked up a glass of wine next to him and drank it with Liao Hua. "Thank you Liu Jingzhou!" Liao Hua took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. "Okay" Suddenly, Liu Biao was about to pat Liao Hua to express encouragement, but the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground. Liu Biao covered his chest and fell down. "My lord!?" Jingzhou Wenwu rushed forward, supported Liu Biao, and hurriedly called the doctor. News that Liu Biao was critically ill in Jingzhou spread quickly, and the entire Xiangyang City army and civilians were worried. Cao Cao in the north was eyeing him. Liu Biao was critically ill again at this time. Rumors spread everywhere, Xiangyang City was in turmoil, and everyone was in danger. At this time, Lu Ruizheng took Cao Chong, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and ten guards to transform themselves into children of aristocratic families and headed leisurely to Xiangyang.
