"Ten thousand soldiers are enough." Cai Mao said proudly.

"How long will it take to capture it?" Liu Bei asked again.

"Half a month is enough." Cai Mao continued to be proud, raised his chin, looked at Liu Bei with his eyes slanted, his eyes full of disdain.

"Yeah?"

Liu Bei smiled and asked again: "Since that's the case, Fancheng was captured by Cao Ren for more than half a month, why did the general not take action?"

When Cai Mao heard this, his smile immediately disappeared, and his face suddenly became embarrassed.

At that time, Fancheng was successfully attacked by Niu Jin, and Xiangyang would have been panicked. If he really dared to send troops, he would have sent troops long ago, instead of waiting for Sun Gan to come and let Liu Bei send troops to capture Fancheng.

When Liu Bei said that, Liu Biao's face was not good-looking.

"My adopted son Liu Feng led 800 troops and recaptured Fancheng overnight."

Liu Bei asked Cai Mao again and asked, "Dare you sure you can?"

Now, Cai Mao's face was not only embarrassed, but became ashen, and his eyes were full of anger. Liu Bei was mocking him for being inferior to Liu Bei's adopted son.

"Cao Cao was named Han Prime Minister, but he was actually a Han thief."

Liu Bei amplified his voice, his tone was filled with determination, and said, "I am the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, a relative of the Han Dynasty. Today, when I am the uncle of the son and emperor, I am incompatible with the Cao thief. No matter how strong the Cao thief is, I will not surrender. I must defeat the Cao thief and restore the Han Dynasty."

Liu Bei's words were extremely righteous, and Liu Bei's decisive tone and his tragic expression made the banquet bow their heads and dare not look at Liu Bei, and he felt a sense of admiration for Liu Bei in his heart.

Cai Mao naturally would not admire Liu Bei. He only had his disgust for Liu Bei. Liu Bei's words made him feel very annoying. Didn't this mean that he was afraid of Cao Cao and did not dare to attack Cao Cao? Although this is the case, it is true that he hated Liu Bei who was in his mind even more.

He wanted to refute, but Liu Biao suddenly slapped the desk table and shouted: "Okay, that's great."

Liu Biao was also a relative of the Han Dynasty, so he naturally hoped to restore the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei's words were simply spoken to him.

However, after hearing this, Cai Mao just wanted to block Liu Biao's mouth. My lord, have you forgotten the purpose of inviting Liu Bei to come today? You agree with him like this, why did you ask me to ask him to return Fan Cheng?

"Brother Jingsheng."

Liu Bei was moved to see that he actually told Liu Biao that he was so hot that he quickly struck while the iron was hot. He asked Liu Biao for supplies and said, "Fancheng was plundered by Cao's army, and the people suffered military disasters. There was not much food in the city, and there was insufficient defensive soldiers, and there was an extremely shortage of weapons and supplies. I hope Brother Jing Sheng can provoke a batch of food and supplies to Fancheng."

Liu Bei's expression changed very quickly. His face was full of righteousness. In the blink of an eye, he showed an unbearable expression on his face, and he looked like he was thinking about the people.

Liu Biao was stunned. There was no problem with this. He didn't react for the time being. Just when he was about to say something good, Cai Mao next to him quickly coughed, making Liu Biao react.

Liu Biao thought for a while and said, "Xuande, I won't mention this matter for now."

"Brother Jingsheng."

When Liu Bei heard this, he showed an anxious expression on his face. He said to Liu Biao: "This matter is urgent. Cao Cao's 50,000 troops have already moved south and arrived soon. If Fancheng is lost, Xiangyang will lose a barrier."

"What?"

When Liu Biao heard this, he was shocked and asked quickly: "Fifty thousand Cao troops heading south?"

Because Liu Bei had a spy in Xudu, as soon as Xiahou Dun came out of Xudu, Liu Bei could receive information, which was much faster than Liu Biao. Now Liu Biao didn't know that Xiahou Dun had led the army to set off.

Everyone here also stared at Liu Bei in surprise, and they also had no idea about the information about Cao's army going south.

"That's right."

Liu Bei had a serious expression and said, "Cao Ren failed in the information sent back by my people. He asked Cao Cao for help. Cao Cao sent his general Xiahou Dun to lead a 50,000 army to avenge him."

Fifty thousand army!

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

Cao Ren's 20,000 army could capture Fancheng and threaten Xiangyang. If the 50,000 Cao's army was captured, Xiangyang would definitely not run away.

All of you here are the upper class of Jingzhou, so you naturally know the situation in Jingzhou.

Because Jingzhou has not been destroyed by the Yellow Turban thieves, it has been developing well, and its round-the-round wealth is ranked among the top among the thirteen states.

But it is useless to have money alone. Because Jingzhou has fewer wars, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in Jingzhou is worrying. Except for the soldiers in Jiangxia, the soldiers in other counties have a little combat effectiveness, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with other states.

The soldiers under Cao Cao have experienced many battles, and 20,000 soldiers can be rampant in Jingzhou, let alone the 50,000 army.

Moreover, influenced by Liu Biao, the whole country of Jingzhou did not want to face Cao Cao head-on.
