The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 16 Cai Mao's Little Thoughts

"Could it be that he shot Gan Xingba, the fierce Jiangdong general Ling Cao?" Cai Mao asked.

"It's the last general!" Gan Ning saluted back.

"Would you like to come back to Xiangyang with me? I will definitely recommend you to Lord Zhou, the Xiangyang navy lacks a strong general like Xingba!" Cai Mao said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their colors. They were poaching Zhang Wu's corner. As long as Gan Ning left, Zhang Wu and Chen Sun would be weak, and it was hard to say whether they could control Jiangxia's army.

Zhang Wu was not at all worried that Gan Ning would betray him, he knew that Gan Ning was a person with deep affection and loyalty, and he knew that Gan Ning wanted to be an upright person, relying on his own ability to make contributions, instead of giving money to the powerful. Be a dog.

Sure enough, Gan Ning said firmly: "Thank you for your kindness, but I would rather be valued by my elder brother and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and dare not leave. I would rather live up to my elder brother in this life!"

"Hahahaha..." Chen Sun also laughed and said, "Well said, third brother, we three brothers don't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but we want to die in the same year and the same month!"

Cai Mao didn't expect that these three people who were born as thieves would be so loyal and able to withstand the temptation.The Jiangxia Navy is the most powerful of the Jingzhou Navy. Although it has just lost a battle and damaged many ships, its foundation is still there. It only needs a period of repair to restore its combat power.

He wanted to take this opportunity to control himself, but he didn't expect that the "Jinfan thief" would not buy his account, so Cai Mao could only laugh and said: "General Zhang is really lucky to have two brothers who are so affectionate. Congratulations to General Zhang. Since this is the case, General Zhang will be in charge of the defense of Jiangxia City for the time being, and I will return to Xiangyang to report to Master Zhou, and Master Zhou will arrange the rest of the matter."

"Your officer respectfully sent off the military division, and I also asked the military division to speak to Mr. Zhou Mu. Jiangxia City had just lost a battle. The soldiers were lost, the morale was low, and supplies were in short supply. Although the subordinate officer can temporarily control Jiangxia's army and guard Jiangxia City, Jiangdong Sun Quan said It is uncertain when the invasion will come again, Cao Cao in the north is also eyeing it, and I ask the state shepherd to replenish Jiangxia City with money, food, equipment, armored ships, otherwise, if Jiangxia City is lost, Xiangyang will not be safe!"

Although Cai Mao is not good at fighting, he is good at politics, and of course he can hear the meaning of Zhang Wu's words.

What he meant was that the Jiangxia army is now in the hands of our three brothers, and this Jiangxia city belongs to our three brothers. You better admit our status and let that old boy Liu Biao quickly support food, grass, weapons and ships, and do a good job of logistics Service, our brothers will guard Jiang Xia for him.If you have any careful thoughts, be careful that our three brothers surrender to Sun Quan or Cao Cao, you will suffer heavy losses by then.

Is this still the "Xiangyang thief" Zhang Wu?Cai Mao couldn't figure out how he became so shrewd, but he had no choice but to lead his army back to Xiangyang. Huang She rescued his father and followed Cai Mao to Xiangyang.

When Liu Biao knew this, he was furious, but he had no choice but to send someone to Jiangdong to negotiate with Sun Quan to see what conditions could be used to redeem Huang Zu.

"It's all the old guy Huang Zu's fault. Why don't you just guard Jiangxia honestly? His head was kicked by a donkey. He insisted on beating Sun Quan. Not only did he lose his army, but he was captured himself. What a waste!" Liu Biao scolded bitterly. road.

"For the current plan, we can only rely on Zhang Wu to protect Jiangxia for the lord, but this is not a long-term plan. Zhang Wu, Chen Sun, and Gan Ning are all thieves, so it's unreliable. These three will become brothers. I'm afraid in the future It will bring disaster to Jingzhou, my lord should plan ahead." Cai Mao suggested.

"I know it well, but it's not appropriate to move them yet. First allocate some ships and weapons to them, ensure their food supply, let them guard Jiangxia, and then transfer them away when there is a chance."

After Cai Mao left, the banquet was over, and Zhang Wu brought Chen Sun and Gan Ning to the Jiangxia Prefect's Mansion. Now that the place that symbolizes the highest power in Jiangxia belongs to him, Zhang Wu was still a little excited.

Liu Biao just appointed him as a partial general to be in charge of Jiangxia County's defense, but did not appoint him as Jiangxia Prefect. The meaning here is also very clear. Although Zhang Wu's current status and control of Jiangxia's army are recognized, the entire Jiangxia County cannot let him One person has the final say, maybe the new prefect will come soon.

Zhang Wu didn't care either. In troubled times, as long as he has the military power, he has real power. No matter who will be Jiangxia's prefect, he has to follow Zhang Wu's eyes, otherwise he may be accidentally killed by thieves.Moreover, Zhang Wu didn't want to be Jiangxia's prefect at the moment, and he didn't want to stand in front so soon and attract others' attention.

After the three of them sat down, Chen Sun couldn't help cursing: "What a shitty military strategist, if you're so timid, you'll make some devious tricks that won't make it to the table."

Zhang Wu asked with a smile: "Third Brother, what do you think of Cai Mao?"

"In name but without reality, I'm afraid they are also Huang Zu and his like."

"Hahahaha, that's right. Our military adviser relies on his good background and his sister's good marriage. In fact, it's not bullshit. It's nothing to worry about. Now that Jiangxia County is in our hands, no matter whether it's Cai Mao or Liu Biao, it's all right. There's nothing we can do about it."

Chen Sun also said happily: "Brother, third brother, now we can finally vent our anger. I hate that bastard Liu Biao for not appointing Big Brother as the prefect of Jiangxia. Sooner or later he will regret it!"

Zhang Wu explained to the two of them: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you become the prefect or not. As long as the army is in our hands, Jiangxia is ours. In fact, it is also good for me not to be the prefect. Now we are too weak to fall out with Liu Biao. The army of Jiangxia County At most, there were 5000 people. Although it has lost a lot now, in order to resist Sun Quan and Cao Cao, we must have fewer soldiers. Although Jiangxia County has [-] counties under its jurisdiction, its output is not large enough to supply the army, so we still have It depends on Liu Biao to supply us with food, grass and military supplies. Third brother, how is the navy doing now?"

"Brother, there are still more than [-] people in the navy. After this period of repairs, they have basically recovered their combat effectiveness, but there is a shortage of warships and backward training. They are far from the opponents of the Jiangdong Navy."

"You have to hurry up and train, and then carefully collect the broken soldiers who have fled to various places, recruit soldiers from the city defenders, and expand the navy to 2. The navy is our main force, and we must firmly control it. In hand, it will be of great use in the future.”

"Yes, brother, I still have some old departments before, I wonder if I can call them here?"

"Yes, but we must strictly enforce military discipline, and we will never allow things that rob people's property. Now Jiang Xia is our own!"

"Don't worry, brother, I will pay attention."

"Second brother, you are responsible for maintaining the order in Jiangxia City, and then reorganize the city guards, weed out some old, weak, sick and disabled, and replace the guards and generals of the counties with us. By the way, you send someone to send Mr. You to the prefect Come here, don't let anyone find out, he can't show his face yet."

"Okay, brother, I'll do it now."

"Okay, let's split things up, now our main task is to stabilize Jiangxia, develop strength, and try to avoid wars."
