This result made Liu Biao's source of news relatively closed.
The first person to receive the news was Cao Ren from Wancheng.
"What? Liu Biao's Seventh Route Army was defeated? How is this possible?" Cao Ren said in disbelief after receiving the news from the spies in the prefect's mansion.
The seven-way army has a number of 100.Against Lu Su, it may not be possible to win [-]%, but it should take a while.
It actually failed within three or four days.
What an incompetent leader that needs to be.I heard that among the seven armies, there are also Wenpin, famous Jingchu generals like Wang Wei, not all of them are incompetent.How did you lose so quickly.
"This news is absolutely reliable. In the battle that night, a group of elite soldiers was killed in Fancheng, with a total of three to four thousand people. Zhang Yun, who was killed just now, was caught off guard." The spies reported in more detail.
"How is it possible? Lu Su doesn't have that many troops." Cao Ren has always been concerned about the battle of Fancheng, and he is also very familiar with the deployment of troops on both sides.
Lu Su had [-] elite soldiers in Fancheng and [-] in Xinye.
After the fierce attack of the [-] army, it should be on the verge of collapse.How could he still have the energy to carry out a night attack?Cao Ren's first reaction was unbelievable because he knew the strength of both sides.
But immediately after, Cao Ren smelled a conspiracy.
"This troop strength cannot be hidden, but Lu Zijing has done something wrong with the deployment of this troop strength. Xinye is actually an empty city."
A trace of remorse appeared on Cao Ren's face.
If he had known this earlier, he would have sneaked into Xinye.I really didn't expect that Lu Su would be so courageous that he would let Xinye go and not guard against him.
However, the opportunity never came again.
Now Lu Su has won a big victory, and his momentum is very victorious.Coupled with the capture of a large number of soldiers, the power has doubled.It has become a big force that Cao Cao can no longer ignore.
Although, Cao Ren originally meant to use Lu Su's power to consume Liu Biao's power.But now, Lu Su's situation is very good, and it is not easy for him to make decisions.
It all depends on what Cao Cao means.
"Tell the news to the knife and pen officer, and report it to Cao Gong in a document." Cao Ren raised his head and said after pondering for a while.
"promise."
The spy promised, turned and walked out.
"No matter what, I still underestimated you. It seems that we must guard against you as a powerful force like Liu Biao, so I can rest assured." After the spies left, Cao Ren thought to himself.
At the beginning, Lu Su expressed goodwill to Cao Ren and Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also sent Cao Ren to express goodwill to Lu Su.But just like when Lu Su was at war with Liu Biao in Fancheng, Cao Ren had the heart to spy on Xinye.
To judge others by himself, Cao Ren had to guard against Lu Su's ambition to spy on Wancheng.
The situation is really different, Lu Su has become a big force.It was enough to make Cao Ren in Wancheng feel a little threatened.
That feeling of threat was even stronger than that of Liu Biao who was sitting in Jingchu.
Although Liu Biao is powerful, he is old after all, and has not sent troops for more than ten years.And Lu Su is young, and also very aggressive and aggressive.
Volume 74, Section 587: Chapter 282 Cai Mao is doomed to be sad (2)
Not the same.
"Come here, increase the number of spies sent to Xinye." Immediately afterwards, Cao Ren put his vigilance into action and ordered.
"No." A guard promised.
After the guards left, Cao Ren was still in remorse, why didn't he make up his mind to attack Xinye.That's a white city.
……
Jingzhou, Xiangyang.
At this moment, Xiangyang City is very, very stable.
Although everyone from the gentry to the Lin Limin knew that Lu Su was causing chaos in Fancheng at the moment, and I heard that the momentum was not bad.But no one cares, even if the momentum is good, so what?
How can little Lu Su compete with Jing Chu?
You must know that Jingchu has nine counties and a population of more than 200 million. Whether it is in the Spring and Autumn Period or the Warring States Period, it is a powerful country.
In addition, Jingchu also produced famous generals in large numbers, Wenpin, and Wang Wei were the two brightest generals in Jingchu, and the two accompanied them to fight together. Basically, little Lu Su was finished.
Because of the division of the world during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people everywhere have a certain degree of xenophobia.For example, the Jiangdong Sun family is known as the Wuyue people.
It is the general territory of Wu State and Yue State in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Jingchu, the reason why it is called Jingchu, is also because Jingzhou was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the king of Chu was also called Jingwang.The local people really didn't like Lu Su who appeared suddenly.
Anyway, no one thought that Lu Su could win.Jing Chu, or Jing Chu.In Liu Biao's world, live in peace and stability.
Therefore, Xiangyang is very stable.Nothing unusual, no sign of war.
Not to mention ordinary Limin people, gentry.Even Liu Biao, the lord of Jingchu, and Cai Mao and Kuaiyue, the two great noble families, did not take Lu Su too seriously.
On this day, at Cai Mao's mansion.
He was resting in the bedroom, and the death of his nephew hit him hard.Physically, mentally.During these days, Cai Mao stayed in bed occasionally, and spent most of his time taking care of his nephew Fei Ke's funeral.
Not only the cemetery was chosen, but also the time for the funeral.Just over ten days later, because Cai Mao reckoned that it would take some time for Zhang Yun to defeat Lu Su.
According to Cai Mao's guess, he could go to Fancheng in three to five days, and Lu Su could be wiped out in six or seven days.In order to avoid delays, Cai Mao nailed the time to more than ten days later.
On that day, Cai Mao went to take Lu Su's head in person, and paid homage to his nephew Fei Ke in heaven.
"Nephew, nephew. Although the uncle did not protect you well, he has already avenged you. Moreover, it was your cousin Zhang Yun who avenged you with his own hands. You should rest in peace under the spring." Inside the house, Cai Mao was lying on the bed, unable to hide his sadness, but behind the sadness, there was also a little bit of relief.
The relief of having avenged my nephew.
Just such a cute and well-behaved nephew.Cai Mao was really distressed.
"Oh, my lord, please be sorry, it's not a problem to be out of energy all day." At this time, Cai Mao's wife, Mrs. Wang, came in, and seeing Cai Mao sighing so much, she couldn't help but said.
The degree to which Fei Ke was favored by Cai Mao made even the Wang family jealous.
"Wait. When Lu Su's head arrives, it will be the best medicine. At that time, I will personally draft a sacrificial letter for my nephew." Cai Mao said after hearing the words.
"Ugh."
It was a nephew again, Wang couldn't help but sighed again.
"Master, the urgent report from the north is here." At this moment, a man who looked like a butler rushed in.Cai Mao is in the backyard at the moment, and the housekeeper who can rush in is definitely Cai Mao's confidant.
Moreover, what Cai Mao brought was the urgent report from the north that Cai Mao was looking forward to.
