The movement of the Yangtze River Naval Army camp cannot conceal the troops in Jingzhou. In Jingzhou, the surveillance of the old opponent Jiangdong has been released, and instead put all the energy on Yangzhou. Therefore, the movement of troops in the Yangtze River Naval Army camp in Jingzhou quickly responded.

"Do you know why the Yangtze River Naval Army camp was mobilized?" Liu Pan sat in the main seat. He was organizing military discussions now, so according to the rules, the military advisor General Liu Pan was naturally on the main seat. Liu Biao was in poor health these days, because of the Jiangling City incident, he was dizzy. Although he had sent troops, no one in Jiangling had passed.

"General, will the troops allocate from the Yangtze River Naval Camp beside the Yangtze River and come to attack my heartland in Xiangyang?" A general stood up and said to Liu Pan.

"Attack Xiangyang? No!" Liu Pan shook his head. Although Xiangyang is low-lying and it is difficult to form enough resistance. It can even be said that Xiangyang's defense is the weakest in cities of the same level, but it is not weak. Ten thousand soldiers and horses in the Yangtze River Water Army camp can break through Xiangyang.

What's more, the Jingzhou naval army was indeed destroyed in the Jiangxia generation, but there were still Jingzhou naval army in the Xiangyang generation, that was the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Cai Mao's hands. Although Cai Mao listened to the tune but not the announcement, these 30,000 soldiers and horses were still quite intimidating.

Unless the naval warships of the Yangzhou Navy can come to the Xiangyang waters, the Jingzhou Navy can still lock them up and be overlords in the first area.

"Military advisor, have you forgotten that the Cai family has a great relationship with the fake king Liu Mang!" Someone asked Liu Pan, the person who said this was a pity. He didn't say much on the surface. But the secret meaning was that the Cai family might have rebelled out of Jingzhou and were ready to surrender to Yangzhou. If the Cai family really did this, then the 30,000 Jingzhou naval army might become 30,000 Yangzhou naval army.

"Not even this!" Liu Pan shook his head. Although Liu Pan didn't understand Cai Mao, he also knew that Cai Mao had not been able to do that step yet, unless Liu Biao forced too much, after all, no one was willing to bear the people's livelihood of betraying his master. If Liu Biao was not good to the Cai family, then it was understandable that you rebel because the master treated you badly. But before the incident of Mrs. Cai, Liu Biao was really inferior to the Cai family. It can be said that the Cai family was at its peak in Jingzhou.

You may not know that the governor of Jingzhou is Liu Biao, but you may not know that there is a Cai family in Jingzhou.

Although Cai Mao is now locked up in the mansion by Liu Biao and put under house arrest, Cai Mao still has hope, that is, to endure it, and until Liu Biao is exhausted, Liu Biao dies, Liu Biao has only three sons, the eldest son Liu Qi, the second son Liu Pan, the younger son Liu Zong, and the eldest son Liu Qi no longer has the qualifications to inherit the prefectural governor. After all, he has been separated from the Jingzhou officialdom and serves as an official in Yangzhou. Although his second son is a civil and military abuse, you must know that Liu Pan. Although Liu Biao calls him his son, Liu Pan is not Liu Biao's own personal, but the child left by Liu Biao's brothers was taken care of by Liu Biao. So the biggest heir now is his youngest son Liu Zong.

As long as Liu Zong inherited the position of the governor of Jingzhou, the Cai family would not be considered dead, and he could even make a comeback and become king and dominate in Jingzhou. It is precisely because of this that Cai Mao would not rebel until the last moment.

Another point is that Cai Mao is in Xiangyang. Cai Mao is rebelling now and wants to be dead. Once hundreds of people from the Cai family are killed, what's the use of betraying it?

"Report, report to the military advisor, and the information coming from Xinye!" Just as everyone was still speculating, a messenger sent the information.

"Come on!" Liu Pan waved his hand and said to his subordinates. Liu Mang took the secret letter and read it. The secret letter was sent from Xinye, Yangzhou. Liu Pan also had intelligence personnel in Xinye, and what happened in Xinye was basically impossible to hide from Liu Pan.

"Haha, haha, God helps me, God helps me, really, those who have attained enlightenment are more helpful, those who have lost their power are few and few help!" Liu Pan immediately laughed when he saw this secret security, which made his subordinates a little confused. A captain stepped forward and asked Liu Pan, "What's wrong with the military advisor? What's the joy of being happy?"

"Come on, come on, you can see it yourself!" Liu Pan smiled and passed the secret letter to him. Soon, the civil and military officials in Jingzhou who had turned around read it, and their faces were unusual.

This one says that the refugees in Xinye riots attacked Xinye City by tens of thousands! There were only two thousand defenders in Xinye.

What happened in Shinye City was simply unstoppable. The defeated soldiers quickly entered the city, so the intelligence was very accurate.

Now we can explain why the Yangtze River Naval Camp mobilized troops. Logically speaking, the troops in the Yangtze River Naval Camp should not be mobilized. Even if he mobilized, it would be used to attack Jingzhou. Therefore, after the troops in the Yangtze River Naval Camp were mobilized, the civil and military officials in Jingzhou became nervous immediately. On the Yangtze River, the Jingzhou Naval Army and the Jiangdong Naval Army challenged the Yangzhou Naval Army, they had lost. Jiangxia, Shiyang, and Jiangling, Nanjun, Jingzhou were also lost. Now Jingzhou is only one generation left with Changsha and Xiangyang.

The Yangzhou soldiers and horses were pressing forward step by step, and they might be able to cross the river to attack Jingzhou. Now, it turns out that it was Yangzhou’s own problem.

"There is a civil unrest in Yangzhou?" Some people are wondering whether this will be a trap. In theory, Yangzhou should be the best place for the people. One person will give three acres of fertile land. If you say a word, you will not pay taxes for the first five years. Five years later, the land will belong to you. Each acre of fertile land should only be paid 30% of the tax.

The civil and military officials in Jingzhou also knew that they thought that the people of Jingzhou were already very good, but they still couldn't get into Yangzhou because Jingzhou did not dare to reduce taxes. In that case, Jingzhou would not only not receive grain every year, but it would be better to pay it from the treasury.

So some people think that this is a false information in order to let the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou relax their vigilance, which allows the soldiers and horses of Yangzhou to take the opportunity to attack Jingzhou.

"It's not impossible! But the possibility is very small!" Liu Pan shook his head and said, "Is the civil rebellion so easy to control? And if you mobilize other troops, you may confuse Jingzhou. But you are allocating the Yangtze River Water Army camp. There is a slight change. It can be said that Jingzhou is always ready. Isn't you alerting the enemy like this?

"That's really a civilian change?"

"This is not certain!" Liu Pan also shook his head. "No matter what, we should be prepared for both ways!" A captain next to him stood up and said to Liu Pan.

"Of course, first, we must be on guard against the enemy's confusion of our army! The second is that the army is ready to mobilize at any time. If the civilian change in Xinye really occurs, then this is our opportunity!" Liu Pan is very capable. He is only stronger than his elder brother Liu Qi, but he is much more decisive than his elder brother Liu Qi. The so-called opportunity is that once he finds that the civilian change in Xinye is really changed, then Jingzhou will immediately send troops to attack the Yangtze River Water Army camp.

To threaten Xinye, the Yangtze River Water Army camps or to allocate troops to guard the Yangtze River Water Army camps to prevent Jingzhou.

But if all your troops are transferred back, then who will deal with Xinye’s mutiny will inevitably become bigger and bigger. Even if it is not like the Huang family turmoil at the time, it can still make Yangzhou disgusting.

If your troops are not transferred back, they still go to attack the rioters. Then I will take down the Yangtze River Water Village and land to help the rioters. Maybe Xinye can retake it. Even if you can't get it, Xinye's pearl will be burned.

"The orders of our army are passed on, and the whole army is ready to go!" Liu Pan issued the order.

...

"What's the point of attacking your own city!" Liu Mang sat in the night light and looked at Xinye City over there, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Where does Xinye belong? It's part of Yangzhou, but Liu Mang is the lord of Yangzhou. Logically speaking, he should be the ruler, and the refugees under him are rioters. He should be suppressing refugees instead of now leading a large number of refugees toward Xinye City.

The culprit caused by all this is our Comrade Jiang Wan. When Liu Mang and Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were defeated by Guo Yiyu, a thousand people besieged three people. If the three of them had no armor, they would be both sides injured. Guo Yi would die. Similarly, there would be casualties among Liu Mang and the other three. At this time, our Comrade Jiang Wan made efforts.

After knowing Liu Mang's identity and fighting, Jiang Wan returned to the refugee camp. With that battle of nothing, or the shamelessness of Guo Yi, he actually prepared to kill thousands of refugees in the camp to keep it secret. Originally, these refugees were timid and afraid, and gave them ten courage to stand up and resist Guo Yi.

As for Liu Mang and others standing up for them, they didn't care and even blamed Liu Mang and others for being troublesome.

But if you think they are harmless, then you are very wrong. Although the people will tolerate it, they will also be unable to bear it. You, Guo Yi, are ready to take their lives. Anyway, they are just the word "death". The people who say that Guo Yi is arguing and resist.

There is no problem with Guo Yi having a thousand soldiers and horses in his hand against thousands of refugees. Unfortunately, the main general was captured, and there were no decent military generals in Guo Yi's army. Although the refugees had not been trained here, the farmers had the strength to kill people. What's more, there were three first-class military generals like wolves and tigers, Guan Hai, Liu Mang, Zhou Cang, and the three of them rushed forward and led thousands of refugees to fight a good-win situation.

As a result, the morale of the soldiers in Guo Yi's hands became lower and lower, and there was basically no enemy that Guan Hai and others combined. The refugees watched the war look more and more smoothly, but their morale became more and more powerful. As one of them grew, Guo Yi's 1,000 soldiers and horses were killed and 200 were seriously injured, and only less than 200 were left dispersed.

This is how Liu Mang is now, leading thousands of refugees towards Xinye City. He needs to explain and arrange these refugees one by one. On the way, the number of people passing through other refugee camps is increasing. At the end, Liu Mang looked at tens of thousands of people in front of him.

"Master, is this our rebellion now considered a rebellion?" Zhou Cang, who was beside him, asked Liu Mang carefully.

"If you are the one who makes you rebellious!" Guan Hai was like a chestnut when he faced Zhou Cang without saying a word. Yangzhou belongs to Liu Mang, and Xinye belongs to Liu Mang.

"That's right!" Liu Mang said with a wry smile. The gate in Xinye City in front of Liu Mang was already closed, with a tight guard on it, as if it was facing a great enemy.

"Guan Hai, come forward and call the door!" Liu Mang said helplessly to Guan Hai, and asked Guan Hai to come forward and call Xinye's defenders.

"I know lord!"

...

The night was terrifyingly quiet, and Hao Shao set out overnight with five thousand soldiers and horses and headed towards Xinye City directly. The scouts he sent were observing Xinye's movements. Within a 30-mile range outside Xinye City, Hao Shao set up camp.

"There are no enemy troops near Xinye City?" Hao Shao listened to the report of the scouts under his command in confusion.

"Yes, general, all the radius of Xinye City has been observed in ten miles, and there is no trace of the enemy!" The scout nodded to Hao Shao and said. The scout leader was a robe of Hao Shao, who was brought out by Hao Shao from the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. His scout level is very high, and Hao Shao also trusts him very much. He said that without an enemy, he must have undergone a deep reconnaissance.

"There is no enemy? Could it be that the rioters have not yet arrived at Xinye City?" Hao Shao was a little surprised, and then Hao Shao shook his head. No, after the request for help was sent from the Xinye City, the rioters had already approached Xinye City. During the period from Hao Shao's order to send troops, the rioters could climb outside Xinye City even if they climbed.

"Did those gangs of rioters change their course?" This is also an explanation that you naturally changed their course if you didn't come to Xinye. It's not right! Hao Shao gave up his mind again. There are no big cities near Xinye. There are 100,000 rioters. If there is not enough food, they will starve to death within a few days. How could they be willing to give up Xinye? Only by taking Xinye can they have enough food.

"But!" The scout next to it added, "A lot of abandoned things were found outside the radius!" The scout saw many of the discarded items discarded by the people, such as crutches and tents, and even torn clothes. These are the items of the people. Only when a large-scale transit of the people will leave so much garbage.

"Those gangs of rioters must be near Xinye!" Hao Shao immediately confirmed that those domestic wastes do not really mean that a large number of refugees have been active near Xinye. But the scouts have already said that they have not found any traces of refugees. They can't hide them, right? They are not one or two people, but hundreds of thousands.

"They won't be in Shinno Castle, right?" The scout next to him added.

"Xinye City?" Hao Shao also suddenly thought that it was not only Xinye City that could hide 100,000 chaotic people invisibly? Xinye is a county town, and its size can put down 300,000 soldiers and civilians, and only Xinye City can put down 100,000 chaotic people.

"Has Xinye Castle been broken by the rioters?" asked the scout next to him.

"No!" Hao Shao rejected that even if there are only two thousand soldiers in Xinye City, it should not be broken in an instant. Are there signs of fighting outside Xinye City?" Hao Shao asked the scout beside him.

"No!" There was no trace of fighting outside Shinye Castle, and there was no corpse.

"The Shinye Guardian surrendered!" Hao Shao could only make the worst plan. The 100,000 refugees disappeared without knowing it. Hengji, who had never fought at all on Xinye City, then only the Shinye City defenders surrendered.

"What should we do now, General?" the scout next to him asked. Are you still going to rescue the siege now?

"What should I do? Wait!" Hao Shao also smiled bitterly and shook his head. What can I do? I can only make a fuss. If Xinye City has not been broken, then Hao Shao's five thousand soldiers can be rescued. But now Xinye City has surrendered to the rioters. Could it be that Hao Shao brings his five thousand soldiers to attack the city? The field battle can tell what is a professional army and a miscellaneous army, but the defense of the city is not like this. With the defense of the city wall, it can be said that even an ordinary person can exert the abilities of elite soldiers.

He is not good at attacking, not to mention that in order to speed up the rescue, Hao Shao went into battle with light equipment, and there were no bed crossbows, let alone cloud ladders, how to attack the city.

"wait?"

"Yes, wait!"

The next day, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry came with 20,000 steps. The commander of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was no one else, but our Lu Bu Lu Fengxian. The 20,000 steps behind him, of which 10,000 were Yangzhou Army and Yiyang Wuzhang, and was commanded by Wei Yan.

"Mr. Wen Hou!" Hao Shao quickly stepped forward and greeted him. Lu Bu nodded, "Get up and talk, how is Xinye's current direction?"

"Report to Lord Wen, it is not optimistic!"

"What does it mean?" Lu Bu asked with a frown.

"Shino Castle may have been broken by the rioters!"

"Where are the two thousand defenders in Shinno Castle? Can't even hold on for three days?"

"Sir Wen Hou, Shinno is to be precise and surrendered to the rioters."

"So brave!" Lu Bu felt a hint of anger. No matter who it was, he didn't like traitors. If Xinye City fought to the death, even if it was captured, Lu Bu would not be so angry. But surrendering would be different. He still surrendered to the rioters.

"Report, report to the general, the Yangtze River Water Army camp sends an urgent report!" The information sent from the Yangtze River Water Army camp while Hao Shao and Lu Bu were discussing military affairs.

"Say!" Hao Shao had no intention of hiding Lu Bu, because Lu Bu was also half of the master of Yangzhou after all.

"Report to the general, there are a large number of enemy troops outside the Yangtze River camp!" The messenger said to Hao Shao, the enemy! The only one who can be called an enemy in front of the Yangtze River Naval Army is the only one family, that is Liu Biao, Jingzhou.

"Did Liu Biao also know this news?" The news that Hao Shao didn't want to get the least came. Sure enough, Jingzhou came like a mosquito that smelled blood.

"There are only five thousand soldiers and horses left in the Yangtze River Water Army camp!" Hao Shao said to Lu Bu. Originally, 10,000 soldiers and horses were too confident to be too lazy to attack 100,000 Jingzhou soldiers, but now there are only five thousand soldiers and horses. Many places have become stretched. Once Jingzhou is willing to spend a lot of money, the Yangtze River Water Army camp will not be able to take it away, and you can log in everywhere along the Yangtze River.

Hao Shao wanted to transfer troops back, but now there was no news on Xinye. Xinye City was occupied by rioters and could not take Xinye City in time, then Xinye, the pearl of Yangzhou, was destroyed. How powerful the destructive power of the rioters was, Hao Shao and Lu Bu knew. When the Yellow Turban Army was raging the Han Dynasty, it was basically empty, and this kind of thing was still one by one when it rebelled. They attacked the city and destroyed your home. In order to survive, you could only follow them to destroy it.

So this group of rioters will only grow bigger and bigger. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Xinye, and now there are 100,000 more refugees. If Xinye City cannot control it, it will be a big hidden danger.

So Jingzhou is very flawed, making it difficult to finish the Yangzhou troops.

"Hao Shao, please take people back to the Yangtze River Water Army Camp first!" Lu Bu said to Hao Shao.

"Sir Wen Hou, if I go back, how can I attack the city?" You should know that Lu Bu brought the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and he could not let the Bingzhou wolf cavalry take off his war horse to attack the city.

Lu Bu was also anxious, and the people were rebelling. After receiving Hao Shao's request for help, Lu Bu set out immediately. He came with 20,000 steps, but the 20,000 steps were still on the way. After they arrived, the daylily became cold.

Their original consideration was that even if there were fewer defenders in Xinye City, they could hold on for a day or two. As long as there were one day or two days, even if they were in the field, even the elite heavy armored footsteps were not the opponent of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, let alone these chaotic people.

But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Xinye surrendered without any resistance, completely caught Yangzhou off guard. Now the one who stayed in front of Lu Bu and the others was a problem.

Is it better to attack Shinye or not to attack Shinye?

If you attack Xinye City, you must leave Hao Shao's five thousand elite troops, and rely on them to climb the city to attack Xinye. Even if Lu Bu comes on the field personally, there must be troops and horses. It takes time to take the ladder, and it takes time to attack the city. Maybe, when you attack Xinye, the Jingzhou army will attack your Yangtze River Village.
