"Are you saying that Pang Tong escaped?" Liu Mang was in his residence. Several generals were kneeling on the ground and replying to Liu Mang.
"Yes! My Lord, this general is incompetent and has allowed Pang Tong and Zhang Fei to escape! "The burly man's tone was filled with guilt and frustration from his failure.
"How is that possible? Isn't there still Zhou Cang? " Liu Mang frowned as he looked at the muscular man. Liu Mang had considered Zhang Fei's injuries. That was why he sent out Guan Hai and Zhou Cang. Zhang Fei and Guan Hai were enough. Zhou Cang was a bargaining chip that Liu Mang gave to Guan Hai. It should have been easy for the two of them to deal with Pang Tong. However, Pang Tong still escaped in the end.
"I am useless!" Guan Hai said as he knelt on the ground. He did not try to explain himself. Instead, he said the same thing.
"My Lord, you can't blame Brother Guan. It's Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei is too strong!" Zhou Cang said to Liu Mang when he saw Guan Hai's gloomy expression.
"Too strong?" Liu Mang knew how strong Zhang Fei was. The two of them had fought before. Liu Mang admitted that Zhang Fei was strong and had the strength of a refined god. However, he should not have been defeated by Guan Hai and Zhou Cang. Looking at Guan Hai's injuries and Zhou Cang's bleeding wound, if they did not succeed, it could only mean one thing. Zhang Fei had broken through.
"Guan Hai, stand up and speak!" Liu Mang's expression was unsightly because Guan Hai and the others immediately came to report to Liu Mang. Guan Hai's body had not been treated and he was already injured. Now that he was kneeling on the ground, there was blood flowing from his feet. Guan Hai was one of Liu Mang's generals. Even if Liu Mang was not satisfied with Guan Hai, he would not do something that would harm his own strength. He asked Guan Hai to stand up and speak.
"Yes!" Guan Hai nodded and was about to stand up. However, for such a strong man, it was as if there was an earthquake when he stood up. He couldn't stand steadily and shook his head as if he was drunk.
"Brother Guan, be careful!" Zhou Cang wanted to go forward to support Guan Hai, but Zhou Cang was also injured, so his reaction was a beat slower.
"Huh?!" Liu Mang moved. He was weaker than Zhou Cang and Liu Mang, but Zhou Cang was closer to him. If Liu Mang didn't support Guan Hai, Guan Hai would definitely fall to the ground. This place was made of bluestone slabs, and it wouldn't feel good to fall to the ground.
"Thank you, my lord!" Guan Hai finally regained consciousness. Seeing that it was Liu Mang who was supporting him, he struggled to stand up.
"We're brothers, there's no need to thank me!" Liu Mang only realized that there were many wounds on Guan Hai's body when he supported him. All of them were more than a foot long, and they were all wounds caused by the snake spear. Guan Hai's face had also turned pale due to excessive blood loss.
"Men, men!" Liu Mang shouted as he supported Guan Hai.
"Your Highness!" A few servants came in and respectfully bowed their head to Liu Mang and replied.
"Prepare a room for me, and invite the best doctor in Xiangyang City!" Liu Mang ordered the servants.
"My lord, there's no need for that. It doesn't matter if I'm a rough man!" Guan Hai shook his head.
"It doesn't matter. If you continue like this, you'll become a dead man!" Liu Mang was a little angry. The smell of blood on Guan Hai's body was too strong. "What are you waiting for? Go!" If a general died in Jingzhou, Liu Mang would cry.
"Yes, yes!" The servants quickly left and found three maidservants to replace Liu Mang in supporting Guan Hai. Guan Hai was more than 1.8 meters tall and weighed almost 100 kilograms. Two maidservants could not help him up. Only then did the three women lift him up.
"My lord, I …" Guan Hai still wanted to explain to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang waved his hand, "If you have anything to say, wait until your injuries are better! Your injuries are more important! "
Hearing Liu Mang's words, Guan Hai stopped being stubborn. He knew his injuries very well. The last time he suffered such injuries, it was caused by someone called Guan Yu. Guan Hai was lucky that he did not die that time. However, such good luck would not stay with him forever. This time, with such serious injuries, if he did not recuperate, he would be a useless person even if he survived.
After everyone carried Guan Hai away, Liu Mang turned around and asked Zhou Cang, "Zhou Cang, tell me what happened!" Although Zhou Cang's injuries were not light, it was not a big deal. However, he might not be able to fight for half a month.
"Yes!" Zhou Cang nodded. Although he was muddle-headed, he still knew how to speak.
"Milord, this Zhang Fei is very powerful!" Zhou Cang was dancing as he explained to Liu Mang.
After listening to Zhou Cang's nonsense, Liu Mang was able to understand some things. Zhang Fei really did make a breakthrough.
At that time, Zhang Fei was at the refinement stage. Although he was one of the best generals in the world, Liu Mang had a lot of people who were on par with Zhang Fei. Even Huang Zhong and Liu Mang's father-in-law were at the peak of the refinement stage. Both of them were stronger than Zhang Fei. It can be said that if they were to fight one on one, they would be able to take Zhang Fei's head. However, from Zhou Cang's mouth, Zhang Fei had made a breakthrough.
He was the second general after Jiangdong's Sun Ce to break through the refined god realm. He was at the pinnacle of the refined god realm!
Liu Mang had seen this realm before. Huang Zhong's bow was comparable to a ballista. On the battlefield, it could be said that taking the head of a general was as easy as taking something out of his pocket. This kind of person was like a sharp sword in the army. On the battlefield, they could easily tear apart the enemy's formation. To deal with such a person, it would take at least three warriors above the refined god realm. At most, two people would be able to force them to retreat. If one wanted to tie with them, killing them would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
In the past, Liu Mang's father-in-law, Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian, had said that even if there were thousands of soldiers and horses in the world, they would not be able to stop him, Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian.
Liu Mang used to think that this was bragging. Otherwise, how could Lü Bu lose his Heavenly Halberd and Red Hare? However, when he saw Lü Bu commanding the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, he realized that it was not the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry that helped Lü Bu. It could be said that the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was the number one cavalry force in the world that delayed Lü Bu's strength and became a burden to him. Therefore, Lü Bu handed the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry over to Zhang Liao.
Now that Zhang Fei had reached the pinnacle of the refined god realm, he was an enemy. If Liu Mang wanted to take Zhang Fei down, the price would be really high.
"Yan's Zhang Fei, you have really become a eunuch now!" Liu Mang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Zhang Fei's successful breakthrough was all thanks to him and his benefactor, Huang She. It was Liu Mang's mistake that caused Zhang Fei to be captured by Huang She's subordinate, Huang Ri. In the end, Zhang Fei was tortured to death by Huang Ri. Liu Mang said that Zhang Fei had become a eunuch now.
Zhang Fei's manhood was directly removed by Huang Ri. If this was a peaceful era, then Zhang Fei would be very welcomed by the Ten Attendants.
Zhang Fei's strength was also very huge. Liu Mang was sent flying by Zhang Fei. Because of Zhang Fei's strength, he was able to challenge the heroes of the world. However, this also became a shackle. Zhang Fei couldn't break through to the peak of the refined god realm because his strength had reached its limit. Unless he was like Jiangdong's Sun Ce, then Zhang Fei's strength wouldn't be able to increase any further. Therefore, his martial arts didn't improve over the years.
But now, it was different. Huang Ri's blade had directly removed Zhang Fei's strength. Zhang Fei's strength had weakened and a soft aura appeared in his body. The snake spear itself was similar to a spear technique. Zhang Fei's strength was mainly used to stab, but Zhang Fei's strength was mainly used to slash. In the past, Zhang Fei couldn't feel it. In his opinion, directly killing the enemy was the way to go. But now, as long as he killed the enemy, it didn't matter if it was directly piercing the enemy's body or dismembering the enemy.
Under the combination of strength and gentleness, Zhang Fei broke through from the refined god realm to the peak of the refined god realm.
This was the reason why Guan Hai and Zhou Cang couldn't take Zhang Fei down. Guan Hai was even seriously injured. If it wasn't for Zhou Cang and Zhang Fei being worried about Pang Tong's safety, Guan Hai might not have been able to come back.
The strength of a cultivator at the peak of the refined god realm was very terrifying. They could even dominate the battlefield.
"Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, you have escaped again!" Liu Mang thought ruthlessly. He wanted to kill Pang Tong, but Pang Tong escaped again and again. This time, Liu Bei's army had another cultivator at the peak of the refined god realm. It could be said that Liu Mang's pursuit this time was a complete failure. In the future, Liu Mang would have to pay a price several times more than now to kill Pang Tong.
"Zhou Cang, you should also go and treat your wounds!" Liu Mang waved his hand and said to Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang's wounds had not been treated yet. There was no disinfectant or anything like that. It wouldn't be good if it got infected. Therefore, Liu Mang asked Zhou Cang to quickly go and treat his wounds.
"Then, Milord, you don't blame Brother Guan, right?" Zhou Cang asked Liu Mang before he left.
"I don't blame him, I don't blame him!" Zhang Fei was already at the peak of the refined god realm. It was understandable that Guan Hai could not take him down. Even Liu Mang did not expect Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide to have such a breakthrough.
However, when Liu Mang thought about how Zhang Fei would no longer be the bearded Mo Yang. Instead, he would become very handsome. Or rather, he would use a black face to make himself look like a woman. Liu Mang could not help but shudder. If disgust could kill, then Zhang Fei would be invincible.
"Oh, then I'm relieved!" Zhou Cang nodded his head proudly and left.
As soon as Zhou Cang left, Zang Ba also returned. Zang Ba and Zhou Cang were not familiar with each other. Therefore, they did not greet each other and directly left.
"Young Lord? Guan Hai and Zhou Cang are back? "Zang Ba asked Liu Mang." Did they kill Pang Tong, the Jingzhou Little Fire Chicken? " Zang Ba asked hurriedly. The Jingzhou Little Fire Chicken had annoyed the Lvbu's Army and caused them great losses. Therefore, everyone in the Lvbu's Army was interested in Pang Tong's death.
"They are back, but Pang Tong escaped!" Liu Mang shook his head helplessly.
"Escaped?" Zang Ba was not a fool. After all, he was also a Duke. When he walked across from Zhou Cang, he could smell the blood on Zhou Cang's body. Zhou Cang's injuries were not small.
"Yes! Guan Hai is heavily injured and Zhou Cang is not much better. Pang Tong escaped! "Liu Mang said to Zang Ba.
"Did they run into an ambush?" The two martial artists chased after Pang Tong. Although Zhou Cang had just entered the God Refinement realm, he was not weak. The two of them chased after a scholar and returned with heavy injuries. There was only one possibility that they had run into an ambush.
"There was no ambush. It was Zhang Fei!" Liu Mang explained.
"Zhang Fei?" Zang Ba thought for a while. Zhang Fei was an old rival of the Lvbu's Army. However, he was not strong enough to deal with two martial artists who were in the God Refinement realm. If that was the case, Zhang Fei would have killed several other generals in the Lvbu's Army.
"Zhang Fei broke through!"
"He broke through?" Zang Ba was also stunned. It was very difficult for a Divine Refinement warrior to make a breakthrough. Those who could reach the Divine Refinement realm were all martial arts geniuses. Ordinary people would spend their whole life outside of the Body Refinement realm. It was very rare for a Divine Refinement warrior to reach the peak of the Divine Refinement realm. It could be said that there were a lot of Divine Refinement warriors in the world, but there were only a few who had reached the peak of the Divine Refinement realm.
Lü Bu was the God of War, Huang Zhong was the God of Archery, and now Zhang Fei had broken through.
Zang Ba was shocked and envious. He had been in the God Refinement realm for many years, but Zang Ba's cultivation did not improve at all.
"Alright, Xuan Gao must have something to say. Speak!" Liu Mang did not want to talk too much about Zhang Fei's breakthrough. There was no need to boost the morale of others and diminish one's own prestige. It was just Zhang Fei.
"Reporting to the Young Lord! Although we did not find the traitor Pang Tong, we intercepted his messenger! "Zang Ba reported to Liu Mang.
"Messenger?" Liu Mang did not understand. What urgent matter did Pang Tong have to inform Liu Bei of? Why did he send a messenger? Couldn't he just go back and inform him?
"Bring it up!" Liu Mang said to Zang Ba. Zang Ba nodded and took out an envelope. The ink on the envelope had not been opened yet.
Liu Mang immediately opened the book. The contents of the book were quickly read ten lines.
"Pang Tong wants Liu Bei to attack Fan City?" Liu Mang read the letter and thought.
"Fan City?" Zang Ba heard Liu Mang's words.
"Yes!" Liu Mang passed the letter to Zang Ba. Zang Ba read the letter and saw that Pang Tong wanted Liu Bei to attack Fan City as soon as possible.
Fan City was not some random place. It was a barrier north of Jingzhou. Once Liu Bei attacked Fan City, it did not matter if he could take it down or not. Liu Bei would have offended Liu Biao.
Fan City's defense was not weak. It was originally used to defend against Zhang Xiu. Back then, Zhang Xiu wanted to be intimate with Lao Cao. Liu Biao was so scared that he had amassed more than 100,000 soldiers in Fan City. He was afraid that Lao Cao would eat Zhang Xiu and come to take over Jingzhou.
Although Zhang Xiu and Lao Cao had a falling out in the end and Fan City's 100,000 soldiers were disbanded, Liu Biao's defense in Fan City was not bad. Fan City's walls were extremely sturdy and it was easy to dig through the moat. Fan City now had at least 30,000 soldiers. It would be difficult to take down such a city without 100,000 soldiers. However, Pang Tong wanted Liu Bei to attack Fan City immediately. What kind of logic was this?
Was Pang Tong crazy? Liu Mang did not understand. What exactly was in Fan City that attracted Liu Bei?
"Young Lord, didn't Fan City hold back a batch of provisions?" Zang Ba suddenly reminded Liu Mang.
"Provisions!" Liu Mang's eyes flashed. Yes! It was the provisions. Pang Tong was indeed crazy. He had no choice but to go crazy for those provisions. He held back a large amount of provisions in Fan City. This batch of provisions amounted to more than 100,000 dan. Liu Mang did not pay much attention to it when he received the news. After all, this was Jingzhou's internal affairs and it was not appropriate for him to interfere. He thought that some aristocratic family was hoarding the provisions to sell at a high price. Even if the price was high, Liu Mang was prepared to eat them up. In this era, provisions would not depreciate and were more valuable than gold.
However, now that he thought about it, Fan City was close to Nanyang County. Liu Bei was in Nanyang County and Pang Tong wanted Liu Bei to attack Fan City. Then, a clue appeared in front of Liu Mang. The provisions belonged to Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan!
This would explain why Pang Tong went crazy. Liu Mang almost laughed out loud. "Haha, it seems that Royal Uncle Liu's lack of provisions is more serious than we thought!"
The owner of these provisions was Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan. Liu Mang did not know how Pang Shiyuan managed to gather these provisions without Liu Biao's support. However, Liu Mang knew that these provisions were very important to Yuzhou. This was why Pang Tong took the risk to attack Fan City and completely offended Liu Biao.
"Fan City, Fan City!" Liu Mang thought carefully about the terrain of Fan City. Below Fan City was Xiangyang. It could be said that Fan City was a buffer for Xiangyang. Once Fan City was breached, Xiangyang would be exposed to the enemy's hands.
Liu Mang thought for a while. This Pang Tong really dared to gamble. If he lost the gamble, Fan City was incomparably large and had a garrison of 30,000. It was also backed by the Yangtze River. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If he lost the gamble, then Yuzhou Liu Bei would at least be badly battered under Fan City. Not to mention the countless casualties, the biggest worry was that Liu Bei would completely offend Liu Biao.
Don't underestimate Liu Biao. Although Liu Biao didn't have many elite troops under him, he had a lot of people, money, and provisions. Even if he used a sea of people tactic or a sea of provisions tactic, he could still crush you to death. At that time, even if Liu Biao could tolerate it, Liu Bei would at least have to hand over Nanyang County. If things went wrong, Liu Biao might even chase after him for a thousand miles or something. At that time, Liu Bei would really be miserable. At the very least, he wouldn't be able to participate in the struggle for hegemony anymore.
However, Liu Mang thought about it. This black fatty was really daring. If he won the bet, not only would he be able to get the provisions in Fan City to solve Yuzhou's food crisis, he would also be able to get Fan City. Fan City was a barrier to the west of Jingzhou. Without Fan City, Jingzhou would really be defenseless. Whether Liu Biao was willing or not, he would have to move the capital because Xiangyang would live under the nose of Fan City. At that time, if Liu Bei wanted to send troops to Xiangyang, he would really be able to beat Liu Biao until he couldn't raise his head. Even if he couldn't win, he would be able to rest and reorganize in Fan City. The Jingzhou Navy was strong, but the army wasn't a joke. The Jingzhou Army was at most similar to Liu Mang's current reserve force. Not to mention the City Guard and the Black Flag Army, even the garrison force could compete with them. They couldn't even win a defensive battle, let alone a siege battle.
It was said that Fan City was easy to defend and hard to attack. Once Liu Bei got Fan City, then Liu Bei would have the capital to negotiate with Liu Biao. This was because Fan City was a nail in Jingzhou. If he didn't get rid of Fan City, then Jingzhou would be Liu Bei's back garden. He could deal with Liu Biao whenever he wanted.
However, if he wanted to deal with Fan City, Liu Biao wouldn't be able to attack it. Xiangyang was defenseless. If he wanted to make this threat, then Liu Biao could only move the capital to Jiangling. Once Fan City was broken, Xiangyang would basically be unable to defend. Liu Biao and the others would immediately go to Jiangling. How could Liu Biao be willing to give up a series of cities in Xiangyang? The loss wouldn't be just one or two thousand gold, but hundreds of thousands of gold. There was also the migration of the people. These were all big problems.
At that time, he was afraid that no matter what Liu Bei said, Liu Biao would have to agree to it.
"This is really a good calculation!" Liu Mang couldn't help but admire Pang Tong's courage. If Pang Tong could rely on him, then how good would it be? Such a talent actually relied on Liu Biao. It was really a pity.
What Liu Mang didn't know was that Pang Tong actually had a good impression of Liu Mang. But because of Zhuge Liang's praise of Liu Mang, he completely changed his mind and went to rely on Yuzhou's Liu Bei. He became Liu Mang's mortal enemy.
Sighing was useless. Liu Mang was now thinking about how to deal with every move.
"Little Lord, do we need to inform Jingzhou's Liu Biao and the others?" Zang Ba asked. One must know that Jingzhou and Yangzhou were now allies. Since there was such a loophole in the alliance, they should inform Jingzhou in advance so that Jingzhou could be prepared. It could be said that as long as they informed Liu Biao and let Liu Biao strengthen the vigilance in Fancheng, then Pang Tong's plan would fail by half. They might even lose completely.
"Tell them?" Liu Mang thought for a moment and smiled. "Why should we tell them?"
"Little Lord, what are you doing?" Zang Ba was a little confused. They had signed an offensive and defensive alliance. Now was the time to show the role of an ally.
"We are allies and have also signed an offensive and defensive alliance. But that will only happen after Jingzhou is attacked!" The corners of Liu Mang's mouth rose into a smile. If they went to inform Jingzhou's Liu Biao, Liu Mang would not do so.
"But Little Lord, if Liu Bei attacks Fancheng, then the strength of Yuzhou's big eared Liu Mang would increase greatly!" Zang Ba replied in confusion. It should be known that Liu Bei's strength had been greatly reduced. In the battle of Yangzhou, he had lost General Chen Dao and his own White Eared Heavy Armor. But who would have thought that this Liu Bei, who had cheated his teammates, would have swallowed up Zhang Xiu's army. It could be said that Liu Bei did not lose his strength in the battle of Yangzhou. Without the White Eared Heavy Armor, he was supplemented by the Xiliang Cavalry. It could only be said that it was a blessing in disguise. If it was not for Jia Xu's fire that burned the granary of Wancheng, Liu Bei might have attacked Liu Mang.
Now, if Liu Bei took Fancheng, not only would the food problem be solved, but he would also be able to threaten Jingzhou's Liu Biao. He would even be able to obtain an endless supply of food and gold from Liu Biao.
Even if Liu Biao knew that he was asking a tiger for a raise in a fire, he had no other choice. Fancheng was taken by the enemy, and he was strangled by the enemy. As long as Liu Biao did not want to move the capital, then he had to satisfy Liu Bei.
"Strength increase greatly?" Liu Mang laughed disdainfully. "That depends on whether Liu Bei has the ability or not! Not only can we not inform Jingzhou's Liu Biao about Fancheng, we even have to help our Imperial Uncle Liu take Fancheng! "
"Ah ah ah!" Zang Ba completely did not understand what Liu Mang was thinking. Liu Bei was the enemy, and Liu Biao was the ally. What was the Little Lord thinking? Was he stupid?
Of course, Liu Mang was not stupid. Fancheng was indeed Jingzhou's Achilles' heel, but at the same time, it was also a turning point for Liu Mang. This was a turning point for Liu Mang to force Jingzhou's Liu Biao.
Liu Mang could see that although Jingzhou's Liu Biao was now in an alliance with Liu Mang's Army, Liu Biao's heart was still hoping for a fluke. He wanted to have a foot in both boats, and he wanted to find a balance between Liu Mang and Liu Bei. If he attacked Jiangdong's Sun Ce, then Liu Biao would help. However, if Liu Mang attacked Yuzhou's Liu Bei, then Liu Biao would not help. He was afraid that Liu Mang's Army would become a threat to Jingzhou.
Fancheng was Liu Bei's Army's first gamble, and it was also a chance for Liu Mang's Army to force Jingzhou's Liu Biao. This was a chance for Jingzhou's Liu Biao to give up on being a snake and wholeheartedly support Liu Mang's Army.
"But Little Lord, if we take down Fancheng, then this Liu Bei will threaten Liu Biao and force Liu Biao to no longer ally with us. What should we do?" Zang Ba was puzzled. Fancheng was a vital point for Jingzhou. It was like the seven inches of a snake. Once Fancheng was controlled, then Jingzhou would be in trouble.
"Liu Bei can take down Fancheng, but he has to spit it out for me!" Liu Mang said to Zang Ba with a smile. Indeed, once Liu Bei took down Fancheng, Liu Bei would be able to use it to threaten Jingzhou.
However, Liu Mang would never let this happen. He could lose Fancheng, but he could not let Jingzhou be controlled by others. He could not let Liu Bei use Fancheng to threaten Jingzhou.
Liu Mang wanted Liu Bei to take down Fancheng because he wanted Jingzhou's Liu Biao and Liu Bei to completely fall out. He did not want Jingzhou's Liu Biao to be a snake and a rat and still be thinking of getting lucky.
The reason why Liu Mang was so confident was because Liu Bei was lacking in provisions.
"Young Lord, if Liu Bei takes down Fancheng, we won't be lacking in provisions!" Zang Ba reminded. There was a lot of provisions in Fancheng. Fancheng was the western barrier of Jingzhou and was on the other side of the Yangtze River. It could be said that Liu Biao had invested a lot in Fancheng. Although there were only 30,000 troops stationed there, the provisions were enough for 100,000 troops to eat and drink. In addition, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan had gathered more than 100,000 stones of provisions. With these provisions, Liu Bei would not be lacking in provisions and would even have no problem expanding the army.
"Liu Bei has the ability to take the provisions in Fancheng, but he doesn't have the ability to transport them out!" Liu Mang had this idea. Even if Liu Bei took down Fancheng, he would not be able to transport the provisions out.
After taking down Fancheng, Liu Bei's army might not have to starve. However, what about his army in Yuzhou and Nanyang? Those people still needed to eat, and their provisions would have to be transported by Liu Bei.
How would Liu Bei transport the provisions? If he used infantry to transport them, Liu Mang would teach Liu Bei's army a lesson. As long as the infantry were not in formation, the cavalry charge would definitely tear apart the infantry and the provisions would not be able to be transported out.
If Liu Bei used the Xiliang Cavalry to transport the provisions, Liu Mang would not be afraid. This was because Liu Mang had an army called the White Horses. They had already fought with the Xiliang Cavalry and the Xiliang Cavalry could not touch them at all.
If the Xiliang Cavalry had few troops, then they would attack and swallow them up. If the Xiliang Cavalry had many troops, then Liu Mang would only need to use the White Horses to restrain them. He would lead his army to take down Fancheng and then attack the Xiliang Cavalry. This would make it difficult for Liu Bei to take care of both sides.
"This, this!" Zang Ba looked at the Young Lord in front of him. Liu Bei had completely fallen into Liu Mang's trap. He had even dragged Jingzhou's Liu Biao into it.
"Xuan Gao, reseal this letter and send someone to deliver it to Nanyang. Pass it to Yuzhou's Imperial Uncle Liu!" Liu Mang passed the letter to Zang Ba.
"My Lord, what if Liu Bei does not believe this letter?" Zang Ba was a little confused.
"He has no choice but to believe it. This letter has the seal of his precious Military Advisor Pang on it." Liu Mang pointed at the bottom of the letter and said to Zang Ba. The seal of Yuzhou was on this letter.
"Yes!" Zang Ba nodded and prepared to leave.
Although the letter had been delivered, Liu Mang still needed to prepare. At the very least, he needed to mobilize the army. Otherwise, if the plan did not keep up with the changes and Liu Bei really took down Fancheng, then it would be terrible.
"Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, White Horses, and more!" Liu Mang thought about the trump cards in his hand. However, he frowned after thinking about it. Although he had a few cards in his hand, he could not take them out. The City Guard was now fully equipped and was preparing to nurture them into a military academy. He could not use them. Losing one would make Liu Mang's heart ache.
The two troops of the Black Flag Army's Xiliang Cavalry had just fought in the Battle of Linhuai and needed to be reorganized. Liu Mang still had to reward them. The Formation Breaker and Zang Ba's troops needed to be stationed in Lujiang. Jiangdong's Sun Ce was guarding against Lü Bu, and Lü Bu was also guarding against Sun Ce. Liu Mang was already preparing to transfer the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry over. Naturally, the Formation Breaker could not come out.
Which other army was there?! Hao Shao's troops? Liu Mang thought for a moment and rejected this idea. Hao Shao's troops were defensive type troops. If they were to defend a city, they would be able to defend against ten people. However, if they were to attack a city, they would be caught unprepared. If Hao Shao's attack power was strong, he would not have retired from the Bing Province Heavy Cavalry.
"There seems to be another person!" Liu Mang suddenly thought of a red-faced man with a long beard. This person was arrogant and unruly, but he was good at martial arts. Moreover, this person was also good at scheming. His training skills were also not bad.
However, he did not know if this person had already formed an army. When Liu Mang left, he only took a rough look and did not know the strength of this army.
However, now that Liu Mang did not have any troops to use, he could not let the reserves join the army. Liu Mang gritted his teeth. "I've decided to use you!" You cannot let me down.
