Kuai Yue glanced at Cai Mao, and saw that his face was long and his eyes were cold. It was obvious that there were people who chose him, perhaps because he was not recognized by Liu Biao.

"I don't know who the military advisor is planning to recommend," Kuai Yue asked with a smile.

"I recommend Zhang Yun, who is young and promising, has rich experience in leading troops, and has enough qualifications."

He snorted softly again, "What, does Kuai Zengjun think it's inappropriate?"

"Zhang Xiaowei is in charge of the Hanjiang Navy. If he is fighting against the Jiangdong Army, I think he is very suitable. But now it is Cao's army. It seems that Xiaowei Zhang has no experience in fighting with the cavalry. In fact, I think Ling is good."

Cai Mao was stunned, "Does Kuai join the army mean Cai Zhong or Cai He?"

"Everything is OK, I recommend them as generals."

Cai Mao then understood what Kuai Yue meant and recommended his clan brother as a subordinate general. Then he would recommend the chief general, and even he led the army himself, making a brilliant idea.

Cai Mao sneered without saying a word, and Liu Biao next to him asked with a smile: "Who is the main general recommended by Yi Yi?"

Kuai Yue bowed slightly and said, "I recommend the recruitment of generals as the main general. I originally wanted to recommend Huang Zhong as the main general, but although Huang Zhong has high martial arts skills, his ability to command is still slightly inferior to that of recruitment."

Liu Biao pondered for a moment and asked again: "Do you think our reinforcements are 10,000, and the number is relatively small?"

"Report to the lord, this time the chief general of Cao's army is Xiahou Dun. I heard that Yu Jin, Li Dian and other generals were also there and sent 10,000 troops. I really think it's a bit too little. Of course, if Cao's army just tempted the attack, it would be enough."

Liu Biao walked a few steps behind his back. Jingzhou was surrounded by enemies. He had to defend Sun Quan in the east and Liu Zhang in the west. Jiaozhou in the south was unstable, and Jingzhou counties had to station troops. His total strength was only 120,000, including the 25,000 Jiangxia army that he could not mobilize.

Now there are only more than 50,000 troops stationed in Xiangfan, and they have to guard Fancheng and Xiangyang. If 20,000 reinforcements are sent, Fancheng's defenders will not be enough. Once they are attacked by Cao's army, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But only 10,000 reinforcements were sent, and Liu Biao felt that it was a little less. He was in a dilemma and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, meditating and silent.

At this time, Cai Mao smiled and said, "In fact, it is not bad to let the general be the main general. He led 10,000 troops to assist Liu Bei, and then he was willing to lead 25,000 troops as support, of which 5,000 defended Fancheng, and 20,000 troops stationed at the mouth of Hekou.

If the front is in danger, the low-ranking position can quickly lead the army to provide assistance. If there is nothing in front of you, the low-ranking position will not move. This way, you can advance and retreat. The lord thinks what?”

Liu Biao walked to the map and checked carefully. Hekou Town was located between Fancheng and Xinye, 60 miles away from Xinye and 50 miles away from Fancheng, which happened to be a central location.

Arrange an army here, which can connect the past and the future, advance and attack, retreat and defend, and take into account both cities. This is the best solution for insufficient troops.

This plan could be accepted by Liu Biao. He pondered for a moment and then happily agreed, "Then it's decided, hired as the main general, and Cai Zhong as the deputy general, and led 10,000 elite troops from the Northern Camp to assist Xinye."

He was very satisfied with Cai Mao's plan, so he naturally agreed to have Cai Mao personally lead the troops as the support. "De Gui can lead 20,000 troops to Hekou and the governor's support."

Cai Mao was overjoyed, got up and held his fists, "Abide by the orders of humble duties"

Kuai Yue sneered and went north. Cai Mao took over Fancheng after taking the recruitment, but can he really get what he wants.

At this time, a guard reported at the door: "Qi Biography, Duke Jing and Duke Hu asked for a meeting."

The two nephews came, and Liu Biao was in a good mood, so he smiled and said, "Let them come in."

Soon, Liu Jing and Liu Hu walked in quickly. Both of them were wearing military uniforms and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Meet the governor of the state."

"Two young generals, please get up"

When Liu Biao saw that the two were taller and taller than the other, he liked it in his heart. This was his Liu brother and the hope for the prosperity of his family.

Especially Liu Hu, who used to be stupid, has become sensible and wise since he followed Liu Jing, which made Liu Biao feel deeply relieved, and his attitude towards Liu Jing was much more relaxed than before.

"Is there anything wrong with the two young generals?" Liu Biao asked with a smile.

Liu Jing bowed and said, "I heard that Xinye has an emergency military situation. If Jingzhou wants to send troops to provide assistance, my nephew is willing to lead the headquarters to follow the army to fight north."

Liu Hu also said in a muffled voice: "Please help me, uncle."

Liu Biao's smile stagnated. It turned out that the two of them wanted to join the army to fight. This...

He was a little hesitant, asking for orders to fight was a good thing, but these two were his nephews after all, and Liu Hu had no big problem, and Liu Jing was only sixteen or seventeen years old, was it a little earlier?

Liu Jing seemed to understand Liu Biao's thoughts and continued to explain: "My nephew participated in the battle to wipe out Zhang Wu and Chen Sun last year. He had fought with Zhang Wu with his own hands. He has made military achievements. It is no longer the first battle. My nephew wants to follow the Jingzhou army to go north to train."

"My nephew also wants to go north to practice."

Liu Hu repeated Liu Jing's words like a vocal worm, and the few people in the room laughed together.

Cai Mao thought to himself: Since he is in danger, it is actually a good thing to let him participate in the war, and he may not come back once he goes.

He had a vicious thought in his heart, but he smiled on his face: "Lord, it is actually a good thing to let them experience it. There are not many opportunities for small-scale battles, and it is very good for their growth. I think the general should take good care of them."

Cai Mao's last sentence reminded Liu Biao that last time he followed Liu Bei to wipe out Zhang Wu and Chen Sun, but this time he followed him to hire him, which was a general whom he could trust.

He looked at Kuai Yue again. Although he did not say it clearly, he was asking for his opinion. Kuai Yue stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Everything has its pros and cons. The subordinates believe that the two men followed the army to fight north, which is more pros and cons."

"All right"

Liu Biao pondered for a long time and finally agreed, "I will allow you to lead your troops to join the army in the north."

...........

Cai Zhong never dreamed that he could get this opportunity to serve as a deputy general in the north. Although this was not the main general, for the demoted, this was undoubtedly an opportunity to turn things around. He had been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time.

"Thank you for your strong recommendation, Cai Zhong will not let down his high expectations." Cai Zhong knelt in front of Cai Mao, his voice choked.

Of course, Cai Mao knew it well that this was a result of a balance of power. If Kuai Yue recommended him to hire the chief general, then he should be recommended by him as the deputy general. Therefore, Kuai Yue took the initiative to propose that Cai Zhong be a deputy general in order to give himself an explanation.

Of course, Cai Mao would not say this in front of his brothers. He said earnestly: "This time I fully recommend you to be a deputy general, but I was obstructed by Kuai Yi again. Fortunately, the provincial governor understood the matter and rejected Kuai Yi's unreasonable request.

After a pause, Cai Mao glanced at Cai Zhong's grateful gaze, smiled slightly and said, "This time I took a lot of effort to recommend you to succeed. I hope you don't disappoint me."

"Cai Zhong will do his best to never let his brother down."

Cai Mao was very satisfied with his brother's attitude, but he was just not good at it. He had important things to explain. Cai Mao waved his hand and said, "Sit down and there are a few things to explain to you."

Cai Zhong sat down, Cai Mao pondered for a moment and said, "The first thing is about Liu Bei. I always think he is the enemy of my Cai family. But Liu Jingsheng values ​​him very much and wants to rely on him as a barrier. He refuses to listen to my advice and get rid of Liu Bei. Then the best way is to use the Cao army to get rid of him."

Cai Zhong was surprised, "Brother means..."

Cai Mao nodded, "This time is a good opportunity. It is necessary to let Liu Bei die at the hands of Xiahou Dun. Even if we are defeated, it doesn't matter."

"But if the defeat is not allowed, I will also take responsibility." Cai Zhong said with some concern.

"You don't have to worry, you are not the leader, you are not the one who takes responsibility, but the employer. Do you understand?"

Cai Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead, "But... Isn't you a master Jiner?"

"So what? He is Jin'er's master. Is it my Cai Mao's person?"

Cai Mao's tone became stern, and he was the one who annoyed him the most. He worked hard to cultivate him and promoted him step by step, but in the end, he actually threw himself into the arms of the Kuai family, which made Cai Mao unbearable.

Cai Mao stared at Cai Zhong with sharp eyes, knowing that he was actually a little confused and needed to hit him repeatedly.

"There is also Liu Jing..." Cai Mao's voice elongated again.

Without Cai Mao reminding him, Cai Zhong immediately became energetic. He had long thought that this was an opportunity to deal with Liu Jing. He was always worried about the humiliation of the city gate a month ago. Now Liu Jing is also going north with the army. How could he let go of this opportunity?

Cai Mao was a little displeased when he saw him eager to try, "I just want to remind you not to do it obviously. You are not stupid. If Liu Biao knows that you are secretly attacking Liu Jing, you will be in trouble, do you know?"

Cai Zhong was so excited that he slowly calmed down and bowed and said, "Please give me instructions."

Cai Mao walked a few steps behind his back, and finally stopped and said lightly: "Just like dealing with Liu Bei, kill him with the hands of Cao's army."

.........

The next morning, Liu Biao worshipped the god of Han River, and gave him the tiger talisman and arrows. He led a ten thousand elite army to kill Xinye.

At the same time, Cai Mao personally took over the post of logistics commander, led 20,000 troops to station in Hekou, defended Fancheng, and supported Xinye.

Liu Jing led five soldiers to the rear army, which was the appointment arrangement. Although Liu Jing wanted to be the former army, the military order was as high as a mountain, and he dared not to obey the appointment order.

"Tiger, when did your knife be made? Why don't I know?"

In the team, Liu Jing saw another horse beside his clan brother Liu Hu, and immediately hung a mountain-sliding knife. It looked like a kitchen knife from later generations. The knife was square in shape and weighed 60 or 70 kilograms, and it looked quite powerful.

Although Liu Hu was riding a horse, he was actually a famous general. On the one hand, his horse control ability was slightly weak, and more importantly, his weight was different from ordinary people and his big sword of seventy kilograms was already close to kilograms, and ordinary war horses could not support it.

Liu Hu smiled, "I found a craftsman two months ago. The move of Fenglei Transformation can only be used to use a knife to exert power."

Liu Jing shook his head. In fact, using a gun can also use a wind and thunder transformation. However, Liu Hu did not have this kind of understanding and could not reach the level of learning from other things, so he could only use a knife.

However, Liu Hu studied hard this month and practiced that move of Feng Lei to perfection. He has mastered some of the essence. In addition, his natural divine power has become a general who cannot be underestimated.

It’s a pity that he only knows one move. Cheng Yaojin has a trick, and at least he has to teach him two more tricks. He can change the hammer of the bird's 10 guns into a knife-dragging, and the seventh move sweeps across the thousand troops and cuts in half.

In this way, Liu Hu has unique skills and is more than enough to deal with ordinary generals.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing smiled and said, "After the battle is over, I will teach you two more unique skills and sword techniques. With the wind and thunder transformation, you can also become a powerful general in Jingzhou."

Liu Hu was overjoyed, "You must teach me."

Liu Jing was dotted. At this time, a cavalryman from afar rushed over, holding the order arrow and shouted: "Shishou has orders, he will be stationed on the spot."
