When Pang Tong entered Xiangyang, Liu Biao first made him hesitate in his heart whether he should have given Liu Bei's head by Cao Shu. Then he used the help of Liu Cong to obtain Jingzhou as bait, and induced Mrs. Cai and Cai Mao to stand on Cao Shu's side.

A few days later, Cao Shu came to Xiangyang.

The first one he met was of course Guo Jia and others.

When he learned that Cao Shu was coming, Guo Jia and others welcomed him out of the military camp.

From afar, Guo Jia only saw a large army moving towards this side.

The Cao army was walking in front of the army, and the soldiers behind him were all brightly dressed in armor. Compared with the Cao army led by Guo Jia, the armor of the soldiers under Cao Shuo was better in terms of material and texture of armor.

Seeing Cao Shuo, Guo Jia and others urged them to step forward.

Seeing someone coming up, Cao Shu also accelerated his speed.

When they arrived, Guo Jia and others greeted each other.

Guo Jia said: "Young Master is here."

"Did Mr. Guo send troops to attack Xiangyang?" Cao Shu asked after returning the gift.

"Pang Shiyuan brought the young master's message, saying that there was no need to attack." Guo Jia replied: "We will just make the iron barrel surrounded by Xiangyang, just wait for the young master to come before making arrangements."

"I have to send someone to the city and tell Pang Shiyuan that I'm here." Cao Shuo said to Guo Jia: "In a few days, Mr. Guo and I will have to lead the army back. It is said that the two brothers from the Yuan family in Hebei are having fun, and it is time to deal with them."

While talking, Cao Shu subconsciously glanced at Cao Pi next to him.

Cao Pi lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.

Guo Jia ordered to the side, "If you go to Xiangyang, you will say that the young master has arrived. Please ask Pang Shiyuan to come out and speak."

The guard who received the order left and rushed directly to the Xiangyang city gate.

"The young master has no intention of seizing Jingzhou, why did he bring so many soldiers and horses?" He rode together with Cao Shuo, and Guo Jia said: "If you use troops and horses, you must allocate food and grass. If you do this, wouldn't it be a bit of a labor force to mobilize a large number of troops?"

"There are more people coming, and you can get more benefits." Cao Shu grinned: "The army always costs money to go to war. The soldiers need money to wear armor and weapons, and food and grass. Even if each person only spends one hang of money, the army led by Mr. Guo and I will have to spend more than 100,000 hang. Including the efforts we spent on our labor force, if Liu Jingsheng did not take out 500,000 hang of money, I would not give up with him."

A half million hang is not a small amount.

If the same words come from others, Guo Jia will definitely think that person is crazy. He even thinks of the benefits on the battlefield.

But when the words came out of Cao Shu's mouth, Guo Jia felt very calm.

There are benefits in front of you. If Cao Shu doesn't want to take them, it's not his temperament.

However, Guo Jia still doubted that Cao Shu could really get so many benefits from Liu Biao.

He asked Cao Shuo, "The 500,000 yuan hangs is really a lot. The young master thinks Liu Jingsheng is willing to take it out?"

"Of course he is reluctant to take it out." Cao Shuo said, "But he should know that the 500,000 yuan I wanted was not to ask him for it, but to ask him to redeem Jingzhou from our army. Compared to Jingzhou, 500,000 yuan of yuan was really nothing."

"Where is the young master planning to see him?" Guo Jia asked again.

"I don't know yet." Cao Shu said: "Liu Jingsheng is relatively brave. He dare not let me enter Xiangyang. He must not let him go out of the city and come to the army. He just doesn't know where Pang Shiyuan and him agreed to."

"Young Master really thinks Liu Jingsheng will take Liu Xuande's head?" Guo Jia asked.

"Difficult!" Cao Shuo smiled humbly: "Actually, I just made things difficult for him, which made a gap between him and Liu Xuande. As long as Liu Bei was wary of him and he had the intention to murder Liu Bei, Jingzhou would no longer be a solid piece of law. We can come to you anytime in the future. More importantly, he could not get Liu Bei's head. When we pacify the north, the Cao family would have sufficient excuses to attack Jingzhou. They were the ones who broke their trust first, but not us!"

Guo Jia was suddenly covered in black lines.

He has always been good at wisdom and thought. What Guo Jia is best at is surprise victory on the battlefield.

But he is really inferior to Cao Shuo when he uses these conspiracies...

The guards who were ordered to go to the city of Xiangyang arrived at the city and shouted with a look on their faces: "Listen to the people in the city, my parents are here, and I want Pang Shiyuan to speak."

Kuai Yue, the official in charge of the city guard.

When he heard that Cao Shu was coming, Kuai Yue quickly got off the city wall and went to report to Liu Biao.

Pang Tong has been living in Xiangyang City for several days.

When Liu Biao learned that Cao Shu was coming, he hurriedly ordered Cai Mao to invite Pang Tong.

After being ordered to come to Pang Tong's residence, Cai Mao went to the door and said to the guards: "I'm so tired that I reported to Mr. Pang, so I said that Mr. Zirong came to Xiangyang and was waiting to see him outside the city."

The person responsible for protecting Pang Tong was the bodyguards he brought. When he heard that Cao Shu had come, the guards did not dare to neglect them, so he hurried outside the door to report to Pang Tong.

As soon as the guards reported, Pang Tong opened the people and walked out.

Seeing Cai Mao and others at the door, Pang Tong asked, "Why is General Cai coming to inform me in person?"

"Young Master Zirong dare not look down upon Duke Jingsheng." Cai Mao replied: "He asked me to come and tell Mr. Pang and accompany Mr. Pang to go out of the city to see the master."

"General Cai is going too?" Pang Tong asked.

"My son and I are old friends," Cai Mao said: "I haven't seen the son in the past two years. I really miss you very much. I can accompany Mr. Pang to see him and re-enact the past friendship."

Of course, Pang Tong knew that Cai Mao said that missing Cao Shu was fake, and that the truth was true.

He smiled slightly and said to Cai Mao: "If General Cai doesn't say it, I almost forgot. You and the young master are indeed old acquaintances, so it's appropriate to accompany me."

"Young Master is outside the city, don't let him wait in a hurry." Cai Mao asked to the side: "Pang Gong, please!"

Pang Tong did not give in to Cai Mao anymore, and walked in front of him with his sleeves.

After leaving his residence, guards had already brought horses to Pang Tong and others.

After getting on the horse's back, Pang Tong and others walked towards the city gate.

When they were about to reach the city gate, Cai Mao shouted: "Pang Gong is going to leave the city, open the city gate quickly!"

The one who came was Cai Mao. The guards guarding the city gate dared not be negligent, so they quickly opened the city gate.

Pang Tong was the first to leave the city, and Cai Mao and a group of guards followed him.

When he entered the Cao army camp, Cao Shu did not stop.

Taking Guo Jia and others, he came to the outside of the military camp and looked at the Xiangyang city gate from afar.

When the Xiangyang city gate opened, he saw Cai Mao walking out with Pang Tong.

Seeing the two, Cao Shuo smiled and said to Guo Jia: "Mr. Guo, do you think you want to fight again this time?"

"Not only Pang Shiyuan is back, but Cai Mao is also with him." Guo Jia said: "The advantage that the young master has already obtained, so there is no need to continue this battle."
