Chapter 343 Cai Mao Arrives in Xinye County

On the third night after Zhuge Jun left Xinye County, Cai Mao's army had already arrived near Xinye County.

Cai Mao's army came by boat. At this time, all the ships stopped on the river.

Among the flagships, the generals under Cai Mao's command gathered together.

Cai Mao's desire to kill Liu Bei was very urgent, so he came quite quickly.

More than just coming fast!
Cai Mao had just arrived at this time, and he didn't even rest, and was about to attack Xinye County overnight.

Every day Liu Bei is not, Cai Mao feels uneasy all day.

"Our army is only more than twenty miles away from Xinye County. Tonight, I plan to attack the city overnight. What do you think?" Cai Mao asked the generals under his command.

This tone is not a discussion at all, he has already made a decision, and the tone now is to inform everyone present.

At this time, one of Cai Mao's generals stood up and said in a deep voice, "General, it is not a problem to attack Xinye County overnight."

"However, the soldiers can't go to Xinye County hungry?"

"The brothers have been traveling all night, day and night, and now their stomachs are empty, and they really have no energy."

"How about, let's bury the pot and make a meal first, and then attack Xinye County after we are full!"

During the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, there were two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.

This morning meal is full, because I have to work during the day!This meal will last the whole day.

This meal in the evening is just a little padding. Anyway, after falling asleep at night, I won't feel hungry.

The same is true in this barracks.

The soldiers ate in the evening, and they didn't eat much. If they just rested and slept, they could still stand it.

If I go to war, I really can't stand without food in my stomach!
Hearing what the general under his command said, Cai Mao couldn't help but nodded, expressing his approval.

This opinion is also very reasonable.

As the saying goes, the emperor did not send hungry soldiers, but when the emperor sent soldiers to fight, he had to feed them?

What's more, he is Cai Mao.

Thinking of this, Cai Mao nodded, and said in response: "That's right, we should bury the pot and make food, let the soldiers have enough to eat before fighting."

As soon as Cai Mao said this, Zhang Yun on the side shook his head again and again: "No, no!"

"Absolutely not!"

Cai Mao is

Zhang Yun and Cai Mao are two good partners. Usually, Zhang Yun is Cai Mao's dog-headed military advisor.

Hearing that Zhang Yun stopped him from burying the pot to cook, Cai Mao couldn't help but his face darkened, and said sternly: "Zhang Yun, you are too naive."

"Is there any reason to let the soldiers go to war hungry? How can the soldiers go to Xinye and kill Liu Bei if they don't even have enough to eat?"

Don't say it's to feed the soldiers, as long as they can go to Xinye and kill Liu Bei, Cai Mao is willing to find a woman for each of these soldiers, and he is willing!
Hearing Cai Mao's dissatisfied tone, Zhang Yun quickly explained: "General, it's not that I don't want the soldiers to have enough food."

"We are now less than [-] miles away from Xinye County. If we wantonly bury pots and cook food, then the fire here will be full of fire and smoke will be everywhere."

"If Liu Bei stands on Xinye City, he will be able to find our traces."

"Besides, it's too late! We didn't prepare before, and now we're burying the pot to cook the food. After it's done, and the soldiers have finished their meal, it will be dawn soon."

"As soon as the sky is bright, why talk about attacking Xinye County at night!"

After listening to Zhang Yun's words, Cai Mao fell into deep thought.

What Zhang Yun said is also reasonable!
Starting to cook now, there is too little time to talk about it, and it is easy to be exposed.

For a moment, Cai Mao fell into hesitation.

Now if you want to fight the new field, you can only let the soldiers fight hungry. If you are hungry, the chance of winning the new field is very low.

Otherwise, you can only wait until tomorrow daytime to call.

However, if you fight during the day tomorrow, you will lose the advantage of night attack.

After much deliberation, Cai Mao couldn't make up his mind.

"Hey!"

"If only some pancakes could fall from the sky, so that my soldiers could have a full meal!" Cai Mao said, slapping his thigh.

I just hate myself for not preparing food in advance, otherwise, I could attack Xinye at night.

At this moment, a messenger from outside came in and reported to Cai Mao: "General Qi, Mr. Pang Tong, please see me."

Pang Tong came to Xinye County with Cai Mao, but since Pang Tong is Su Ming's person after all, Cai Mao didn't let him participate in this meeting.

Unexpectedly, this time Pang Tong actually asked to see him.

After thinking about it for a while, Cai Mao thought to himself that he just couldn't make up his mind right now, and Pang Tong came just in time to help him make up his mind.

After thinking of this, Cai Mao immediately ordered: "Please come in, sir."

As soon as Pang Tong came in, Cai Hao told Pang Tong all the things that happened before and after.

"Mr. Pang, do you think I should fight or not?" Cai Mao said with some confusion.

Pang Tong thought to himself, you must fight, my lord is waiting to see you and Liu Bei dog-to-dog.
Moreover, in order for Cai Mao and Liu Bei to fight, Pang Tong was fully prepared.

Pang Tong smiled slightly and said, "General, am I here to see you just to relieve your worries?"

"Isn't it just a little food? My lord, I've prepared it for you!"

"Now the boat full of dried meat and flatbread is docked on the shore, and the general will send someone to fetch it."

Pang Tong calculated the time this morning and knew that Cai Mao would arrive at night.

He expected that Cai Mao was eager to kill Liu Bei and would definitely want to attack at night.

However, Cai Mao was on the road all day and night, so he had no time to prepare food in advance.

After thinking about all this, Pang Tong sent someone to meet Su Ming on a fast boat this morning, and asked Su Ming to help Cai Mao prepare the food in advance.

After all, they prepared the food and solved Cai Mao's logistical problems, so that Cai Mao could attack Liu Bei at night!

Hearing Pang Tong's words, Cai Mao said excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Pang."

After Pang Tong finished offering the food, he said goodbye and left without staying.

After Pang Tongtong left, Cai Mao hurriedly ordered to his generals: "Go to a few people and bring the food, and share it among the soldiers."

"I'll give you an hour. After an hour, we will go to Xinye County with all our strength and attack the city immediately."

After all the soldiers left, Zhang Yun said with some doubts: "This Su Ming's intention is too obvious!"

"It's clear that we want us to help him fight Liu Bei!"

However, Cai Hao waved his hand and said indifferently: "As long as I can kill Liu Xuande, I am willing to make a knife for him Su Ming."

Cai Mao wants to kill Liu Bei far more than Su Ming does, as long as he can kill Liu Bei, he doesn't care about other things.

It doesn't matter what casualties, anyway, what Jingzhou lacks most is the source of soldiers.

This time, there were heavy casualties, and after returning, he was able to replenish the soldiers.
