Chapter 703: Unbearable Liu Biao
This time Liu Biao passed out again for a while, and then woke up leisurely.
"Absolutely do not accept, cannot accept Zhang Yu's blackmail."
Liu Biao woke up and said.
Looking at Liu Biao's state, no one dared to refute him, lest Liu Biao would faint again.
Liu Biao lay in bed for two days, and his health improved a lot, but he still had to stay in bed.
During the few days when he was ill, apart from Zhang Yu's news, Cai Mao's news rarely reached him.
At this time, no one dared to block him anymore, fearing that Liu Biao would fail, and then there would really be no one able to check and balance Cai Mao.
Zhang Yu waited for three days, but Liu Biao did not give any response.
Zhang Yu quit.
"Come on, Han Dong, you two will each take 10,000 cavalry and go out for a walk tomorrow." At night, Zhang Yu said anxiously to his subordinates.
Zhang Yu's so-called wandering is to go around and act.
If Liu Biao didn't give in, he had to leave, so Zhang Yu wanted to make a big noise.
If Liu Biao submits, he will earn a lot of money back.
If you don't give in, there's nothing you can do. Zhang Yu must act while there is still time.
Otherwise, when I was about to leave, but I didn't get anything from Liu Biao, then I would spend more than a month playing with him for nothing.
After more than a month of hard work, Zhang Yu will have to get some back.
However, Zhang Yu sent troops out not to plunder, nor to attack the city of Jingzhou, but to suppress bandits.
Yes, Zhang Yu is going to suppress bandits.
The next day, 20,000 troops left.
As for the target, Zhang Yu had already asked the intelligence department to provide it to him.
On this day, Zhang Yu did not allow other troops to train, and stayed quietly in the barracks.
The 20,000 troops set out early,
There was a lot of movement, and the army in the city naturally knew about it.
As for what they think, Zhang Yu doesn't care that much.
When the army goes out, there will always be something to gain.
The two soldiers and horses rushed towards their targets.
But Liu Biao in the city couldn't get used to it.
Why didn't I hear any movement outside the city that day.
Before Zhang Yu pretended to attack, the defenders on the city cooperated with Zhang Yu and shot hundreds of thousands of arrows in vain. As a result, no one was injured, and these arrows were captured by Zhang Yu and the others.
All of a sudden, Liu Biao fell ill.
After Liu Biao woke up, he didn't hear a familiar voice, so he called the guard and said weakly, "Go and ask, what's the situation outside the city."
The guards came back soon, and Liu Biao's staff had been collecting the news, but Liu Biao hadn't woken up and hadn't reported yet.
The staff member came in and said to Liu Biao: "Lord Zhou Mu, this Zhang Yu probably wants to do something again. He sent 20,000 cavalry out early this morning, and the rest of the army has not moved. We have sent scouts to follow up." .”
"Definitely, definitely..." Liu Biao half-closed his eyes and said, "We must investigate clearly, and we must not let Zhang Yu take advantage of loopholes."
The staff agreed to come down, and then went to work.
Speaking of Dian Wei and Han Dong, the two soldiers and horses separated after going out not far away, each in one direction.
And they followed Jingzhou's scouts all the time, but Dian Wei and Han Dong ignored them and let them follow.
There weren't many bandits around Xiangyang, so they kept running and didn't show up at the action until the afternoon.
At this point they have run more than a hundred miles.
"kill."
When Dian Wei arrived, he immediately ordered a charge. The cavalry were used as infantry, and thousands of people were sent to attack the mountain.
The process was not too tortuous, and the battle began after rushing up the mountain.
This is a group of small bandits, with only more than 2,000 fighters, and the others add up to more than 1,000 people, less than 5,000 in total.
It took Dian Wei an hour to flatten a cottage.
Simply pack up the seized, then take it with you and leave.
Dian Wei and the others did not stop, and continued to attack the next target.
The other target was more than 20 miles away, and it was quickly leveled by Dian Wei.
After leveling out the second cottage, Dian Wei ordered to set up camp and rest.
In the two battles, a lot was seized, and hundreds of thousands of property were seized.
And Han Dong's side is similar.
The scouts following behind couldn't figure it out, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses actually helped them suppress the bandits.
But these things are not what they should consider, and they immediately reported the information back overnight.
The news did not reach Xiangyang until early in the morning.
The staff on duty received the news and thought hard, not knowing what Zhang Yu was going to do.
However, some cities near Xiangyang have already spread the word.
"You know, General Zhang's troops helped us suppress the bandits."
"Ah, isn't he going to attack Xiangyang?"
"Nothing, several of my relatives are in Xiangyang, and Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses have never committed any crime against them."
"I heard that our state shepherd is not even willing to give Zhang Yu supplies."
"An army that can help us suppress bandits must be a good army. There are more and more bandits in Jingzhou."
…
Such news is constantly spreading outward.
In addition, there is another version of the news spreading.
This news, spread among the aristocratic families, is completely different from the folk news.
"This Zhang Yu wants to support war with war and besiege me in Xiangyang for a long time."
"In the past, Zhang Yu only dealt with Xiangyang, but now even the nearby places will suffer."
"That's right, although Zhang Yu is just suppressing bandits, how dare our goods be shipped out? If they run into his army, they will become his."
"This Zhang Yu will be captured if he fights, and he can also capture prisoners. At that time, he will really stay in Jingzhou."
"No matter how you live these days, you can't do business."
"If we spend money to buy peace, won't Zhang Yu help others to escort supplies, and we will hire his bodyguard."
The common people applauded, but the aristocratic family felt uncomfortable.
The aristocratic family is very worried now, worried that Zhang Yu will cut off their money.
Another day later, Dian Wei and Han Dong's troops continued to sweep.
As long as they are bandits, no matter how big or small they are, they will be wiped out afterwards.
They are cavalry, and it is difficult for these bandits to escape. Even if they run into the mountains, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses can run faster than them on two legs.
Many of these bandits are still farmers and have not been trained much. They are no match for Jiangdong soldiers and horses.
For three days in a row, their two troops wiped out more than 20 groups of bandits, big and small.
These Liu Biao couldn't lie down anymore.
When he received the news the next day, he didn't take it seriously at first.
But he heard those rumors, the family version of the rumors, so he started to get nervous.
This nervousness doesn't matter, the condition has worsened again.
If Zhang Yu really insisted on relying on the war to support the war, then he would probably be pissed off by Zhang Yu.
"Go, call everyone over, Benzhou Mu has something important to discuss." Liu Biao said lying down.
His guards went to pass the news.
Liu Biao lay on the bed, feeling extremely miserable.
Back then when he came to Jingzhou, he was intercepted and killed on the way. Many people didn't want him to be a shepherd in Jingzhou.
Later, relying on the aristocratic family in Jingzhou, Liu Biao succeeded in ascending to the throne.
But after that, Jingzhou's aristocratic families shared Jingzhou with him, and he was also influenced by these aristocratic families.
