Chapter 1111

Xiangyang City is in chaos, at least the undercurrent is surging.

I don't know how many people are moving secretly.

Cai Mao has been discussing affairs with his confidants. He calls his confidants together every day. If he doesn't discuss affairs one day, he can't rest assured.

Cai Mao didn't even visit the barracks.

These days, in the evening, his generals have a lot of activities, and many families have entertained them.

These aristocratic families are asking for information from them, while some people are secretly wooing them.

There are 160000 troops in Xiangyang.

Three of the captains were Zhang Yu's men. Instead of moving around, they stayed in the barracks all the time to win over their subordinates.

At this time, it's very easy to win over the subordinates. We can't deduct the food and pay, but we can fight for more benefits for them.

Cai Mao was upset for three consecutive days and didn't sleep much at night.

He couldn't sleep if he wanted to.

On that day, Cai Mao called all the people together again.

"Cao Cao has agreed to send troops and will arrive in two days. What do you think?"

Cai Mao asked, and several people came out to give him some suggestions.

Cai Mao made a good arrangement. Half of the city walls were guarded by Cao Jun, and the other half were accepted by them, but the streets and gates were all done by their people.

After some arrangement, Cai Mao thought it was very appropriate.

When the matter was properly arranged, Cai Mao asked again, "what else do you have to add?"

Xu Chen came out and said, "my Lord, the enemy besieged the city, which inevitably leads to the instability of the morale of the army and the people in the city. I implore my Lord to arrange half a day every day to inspect the barracks and the streets, so as to reassure the people and prevent those who are small and have different intentions."

"Dashan, I will arrange it."

Xu Chen retreated. Cai Mao saw that they had nothing to add, so he asked them to go back. He was exhausted and went back to rest.

Xu Chen proposed to inspect the barracks and streets. Cai Mao also thought it was very necessary at that time, but he didn't think it was urgent.

Cai Mao went back to the backyard.

Two days later, Cao Cao's army arrived ahead of time.

Cao Ren came to support with 100000 troops.

Cao Cao attached great importance to this. The 100000 troops are all elite soldiers.

After the arrival of Cao Cao's army, Zhang Yu immediately ordered to advance a hundred Li.

Directly to Xiangyang City a hundred miles away.

However, Zhang Yu did not attack.

The generals were a little worried. They wanted to fight.

Although Zhang Yu didn't attack Xiangyang, his movements continued.

After he sent back the money collected from Jingzhou, the cabinet began to get busy.

In the beginning, we will continue to recruit 200000 troops immediately.

The 200000 soldiers were recruited from each state. After the order arrived, all counties completed the recruitment within two days.

A county recruits some, and soon completes the task.

This time, the training will be directly handed over to the counties. They will complete two months of recruit training in each county. After the recruit training is completed, they will gather and train for another month.

In the end, they were directly assigned to the various armies for training.

Perfect system, so that Zhang Yu can train a troop in a short period of time.

No gossip.

Zhang Yu marched to a hundred Li, and then he summoned Guo Jia alone.

"Fengxiao, how is the plan finished? It's up to you whether you can break the city quickly. " Zhang Yu called Guo Jia into the tent and asked.

Guo Jia was in a good mood and sat down. Then he said to Zhang Yu, "Lord, it's going well. Now the people in the city are in a panic and the people can use it. Now Cao Jun has entered the city. We" are very smart. He's a counselor. At the same time, he's very calm. He doesn't show any flaws. In a few days, we will push him out and become Cai Mao, Even the most trusted people. " Guo Jia said.

"It's been a few years, just this time." Zhang Yu said with emotion.

At the beginning, he set up his own intelligence agency and planted a lot of nails in Jingzhou. He didn't expect to use it so soon.

A large number of nails buried, after several years of germination, finally someone to a very high height, can play a decisive role.

When Cao Ren entered Xiangyang City, Cai Mao met him in person at the gate of the city.

After being polite, Cao Ren arranged the army. The city had already arranged the barracks for them, and there was no problem in the supply of food and grass.

This Cao Ren is the general of Cao Cao, even the most trusted General of Cao Cao.

After entering the city, Zhang Yu still did not attack.

For three days in a row, Zhang Yu didn't move at all.

Cai Mao held a meeting again, but this time Cao Ren also attended.

Cai Mao was polite at first, and then introduced each other.

After that, let a few staff members briefly talk about the situation inside and outside the city.

Finally, Cai Mao said: "according to the news, Zhang Yu is still adding troops. I'm afraid that he wants to gather a large army before attacking. Xiangyang City is solid. Zhang Yu's two or three hundred thousand people dare not attack. I'm afraid that he wants to gather a million troops before attacking."

Cao Ren laughs in his heart that he can let Zhang Yu's army attack him.

But he didn't say anything. Instead, he came out and said, "Zhang Yu decided that our Lord would interfere, so he began to deploy a large number of troops in the north, above the Yellow River, for fear that there was another plan."

Cai Mao nodded and couldn't help relaxing a lot.

Zhang Yu did not rush to attack, but also let him wait for Cao's reinforcements, and let him do more layout.

It's not polite to say that Zhang Yu is still a hundred miles away. These days, Cai Mao keeps asking people to dig stones, cut wood, make bows and arrows, and strengthen the city defense.

He has been preparing. If Zhang Yu delays for a long time, then he will be more fully prepared.

Time is very fast, in a twinkling of an eye, Cao Ren has been in the city for ten days.

In the past ten days, apart from defending on the city wall, he went to the palace to discuss affairs with CAI Mao and others, and did nothing.

The city was quite calm, and Cai Mao was getting busier and busier. He didn't go to inspect the barracks or the streets as suggested by Xu Chen.

All kinds of news were constantly reported to Cai Mao, who read them in detail one by one.

Zhang Yu never took action, which made Cai Mao feel relieved for a while.

Although Zhang Yu did not attack, he continued to increase his forces. At this time, Zhang Yu had gathered 400000 troops, and other armies were mobilizing.

At the same time, in Yanzhou, Jizhou and other places, Zhang Yu is also gathering a large army, and then to Cao Cao pressure in the past.

Cao Cao mobilized troops to guard against Zhang Yu around Luoyang.

A bigger war seems to be brewing.

Recently, Cao Cao's life is not very good. Zhang Yu and his family have blocked salt. They can't raise military expenses through salt, and their finance is very tight.

In Xiangyang City, after several busy days, Xu Cheng was finally able to go to the teahouse to have a cup of tea. The owner of the teahouse already knew him and came forward to serve him personally.

When checking out, Xu Chen also bought some tea to go back.

After going back, Xu Chen directly took tea into the study.

Take out a piece of paper from the tea. It's not so easy to find in the cracks of the package.

Spread out the information, Xu Chen carefully looked up.
