Chapter 3577: Advance

In Fangling City, a banquet was set up in the courtyard of the city guard office.

The Di people raised some of the military academy non-commissioned officers, the heads of the village leaders, and the dozen guards brought by Cai Mao toast toast with him.

This kind of scene seems a bit weird, but it is a bit familiar.

The Cavalry Army was obviously outside Fangling, but since the Cavalry Army did not come to the door, it would not prevent the high-ranking officials and nobles from singing, dancing, and continuing to learn foreign languages.

Since Cai Mao entered Fangling, he did not say much else. Even the previous inspections were not mentioned at all. The Di people who had made some preparations in advance would breathe a sigh of relief, and he was a little disappointed.

Cai Mao seemed to have forgotten some granaries, but just laughed at the old stories of Jingxiang, and seemed to boast about his background intentionally or unintentionally, or his intimate relationship with Boss Cao, which made Di generals and the military academy leader under him, and so on, couldn't help but watch Cai Mao drool...

It’s not that I’m interested in Cai Mao’s chrysanthemums, but that if I hold Cai Mao’s thigh, it’s obviously much better than holding a Di person who doesn’t even have a name…

The Di generals were obviously not as eloquent as Cai Mao, and they could only let Cai Mao swear by it.

However, Cai Mao was obviously very comfortable with this winery culture. He not only boasted but also praised the Di generals. He even had many good words to the military academy leaders under the Di generals. He could also talk about the itchy flesh in the hearts of these people, which made people unable to suppress the corners of their mouths after hearing it.

As the banquet continued, the people in Fangling City gradually relaxed and began to yell and exchange cups.

After all, the situation in Fangling was tense before, and the wine and drink were banned since the Cao family wanted to fight with Guanzhong, so wine and drink were banned on the surface. However, this ban has been given opportunities for people with ways to make money in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, and it has always been "repeatedly banned", and the more banned it becomes, the more expensive it becomes.

Now that Cai Mao is here, he has the opportunity to drink for free, Cai Mao's guards drink sips. On the contrary, the subordinates of the Di generals saw that Cai Mao entered the city calmly and there was no conflict. Many people finally put their hearts back into their stomachs, and the wine became even more fierce.

Hehehe, the drink was drunk quickly. When the night fell, many people at the banquet were already staggering.

Cai Mao seemed to be a little drunk. Listening to the noise of drinking below, he couldn't help but slap the table and scold, "A group of guys who don't want to die when they see wine! I don't know how to save them a little!"

The Di people waved their hands repeatedly, "Just drinks! What's the matter?! It's my honor to be able to come. How can I not drink enough?"

Cai Mao laughed, stood up with some unstable figure, shaking, and picked up the wine bowl, "Come on! Let's indulge in today and have a good time with these warriors! Let me give you some respect to our warriors! In the future, we will also expect these warriors to bring victory!"

Cai Mao said beautifully, so there was no reason why the Di generals naturally refused, so he followed Cai Mao and walked out of the courtyard.

...

...

Outside Fangling City, in the distant mountains.

『Wait a little longer.』

Zhuge Liang still answered this when facing Shamoke's re-question.

"Why not in a hurry to engage in it?"

Shamoko was a little puzzled because he knew that they didn't have much food or grass.

Although Shamoke was not sure how much food and grass Zhuge Liang brought, he knew that in the past two days Zhuge Liang sent people to hunt around to collect wild fruits and vegetables to supplement food needs.

Although collecting and hunting are human survival skills since ancient times, it is obvious that if collecting and hunting in the Chinese region can meet human needs, then China will not take the farming route.

This extremely unstable food source is naturally risky. Even if it is not injured, if the fruit or plant collected is poisonous...

If it were before, Shamoke wouldn't have asked more questions, but now he was eager to know everything. If he hadn't been afraid that his excessive inquiries would lead to Zhuge Liang's disgust, Shamoke would have long transformed into a hundred thousand whys.

According to Shamoke's understanding, since they have contacted Cai Mao now, even if they don't ask Cai Mao to get food and grass, they still have to cooperate with Cai Mao, such as sending some soldiers to Fangling to assist Cai Mao, etc.

But Zhuge Liang did not have such arrangements.

"Don't worry, Cai can take down Fangling." Zhuge Liang seemed to see Shamoke's doubts, and said with a smile, "They don't need our help. At least not now."

"Why?" Shamoko still couldn't help it and asked Zhuge Liang, "I didn't ask why I didn't want it, but I wanted to know why I had to be so cautious?"

Zhuge Liang looked up and looked into the distance. After a moment of silence, he looked at Shamoke, as if he was hesitating for a moment, but finally said: "Cai's marriage with Liu Jingsheng before... Now he is under Cao's..."

Shamoke can be said to be the Southern Barbarians. From a certain perspective, it is considered a foreign race, while the Cai family is an extremely orthodox Han. Now Zhuge Liang wants to talk about these problems among the Han people in front of Shamoke.

Because of this, Zhuge Liang did not trust Cai or Cai Mao.

In fact, there is another reason in Zhuge Liang's heart, but Zhuge Liang doesn't want to say about this deeper reason.

Shamoko nodded with a slight understanding, "That's it... Then we'll wait here, will there be any problems with him?"

Zhuge Liang thought about it, "There should be no problem... If there is any problem, we will attack."

Shamoko frowned and thought, "Do you want them to fight first?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded.

'Then won't they hate us?' said Shamoko, 'There are many people who say bad things about me and hate me...'

Zhuge Liang nodded again, "Yes, they will hate us...but it is not difficult to solve this problem."

Shamoko asked, "What should I do?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "You will see it soon..."

...

...

On the streets in Fangling City, hundreds of private soldiers who were guarding Cai Mao were sitting on the ground.

Other soldiers and military academies in Fangling have become the "accompaniment" of these Cai's private soldiers. Of course, it is also possible to say that they are surveillance.

Of course, eating alcohol on the street is not a big problem.

In Chinese customs, as long as you have something to eat, you can do wherever you are. Even if you are in the pit, you may not be sure to ask...

The seats of these Cai's private soldiers were much worse than those in the government office.

But even the poor wine and meat still made the Fangling defenders who were on duty at the city gate constantly suck their noses and salivate in their mouths.

The poor soldier, who has few times been able to eat meat and drink wine throughout the year!

In Fangling City, these guards are basically equivalent to tenant farmers of Di generals. They either do this or are busy with that person every day. They not only have to be on duty at Fangling, but also "by the way" to plant a land and build a house...

Anyway, the Di people will definitely not be able to see them idle!

As long as you see these poor people having nothing to do, the Di people will feel that the food they have given them will be in a loss!

Therefore, the vast majority of the defenders in Fangling did not like Di generals, but in this turbulent world, what other choice do these soldiers have?

However, the wine and meat that made the Fangling defenders covet did not seem to have made the Cai private soldiers look good.

These Cai's private soldiers not only had a gloomy face, but were not even interested in wine and meat, and ate them bitelessly. However, apart from this, these Cai's private soldiers did not have any other abnormal actions.

Perhaps these Cai’s private soldiers are used to delicacies and are not as fond of these boiled meat pieces?

Just when the soldiers in Fangling were scolding and envious again, Cai Mao shook and appeared on the street, wanting to toast the soldiers, and shouting to pay homage to the defending military academy in Fangling.

There doesn't seem to be any problem with this...

The Di people thought that Cai Mao was drunk, and did not stop Cai Mao's toasting.

In his opinion, he even felt that his face was shining. After all, it was the serious marquis who came to toast!

Cai Mao respected for a round, but it was not a round, but it was just a little meaning. Then he shook his head and suddenly slapped the head of the private guards closest to him, "What do you mean? Ah? I've come to worship Fangling soldiers, why are you still sitting here safely? Go up! Toast!"

Cai Mao pointed at the Di general with drunken eyes, "Give me a good greeting! Thank you for your hard work to defend the city!"

Cai Mao had an order, and these Cai's private soldiers certainly followed and immediately left the seat to toast.

The Di generals were naturally the first to be hit.

The Di people were still very proud at the beginning. After all, there were not many things like such a long face. So no matter who came to the Cai private military academy, they were all there to drink. However, as they drank, they couldn't stand it anymore and began to restrain themselves...

"I've drunk! Why don't you drink?" A Cai-like military academy stood in front of the Di general, staring widened his eyes, "Do you look down on me?"

The Di people will frown.

When drinking, the most annoying thing is that I look down on anyone at all times.

For Cai Mao's sake, the Di people did not want to argue with the Cai military academy. They turned around and wanted their subordinates to drag the guy away. But when they turned around, they found that their guard had been pulled to the banquet at some point and were drinking with the Cai private soldiers!

The Di people subconsciously realized that something was wrong, but their nerves that were drinking too much were slowing down for half a beat. Before he could give any orders or make any moves, he felt a chill between his chest and abdomen!

Beside the Di general, two Cai private soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, had already stabbed the short blade directly from the two armored clothes in between his ribs!

When the human body is subjected to sudden attacks, especially when it is severely damaged, the instinct will have a hard time. Especially if there is no mentally prepared damage, the hard time will be longer. When the Di people will take a breath and want to shout for help or ask someone to come for support, the Cai private soldiers have already pulled out the blood-stained short blade and stabbed it in again!

At this moment, Cai Mao also threw the wine bowl in his hand to the ground. His original drunkenness disappeared and shouted loudly, "Take it!"

With Cai Mao's order, Cai's private soldiers suddenly arose, pulled out the long sword and short dagger that they had always carried with them, and rushed to the soldiers of Fangling guards who were eating meat and drinking together with them, smiling!

A stream of blood shot out, dyeing everything around him red.

The original place of laughter suddenly turned into a Shura field.

The wine and blood were mixed together, flowing, and the cooked meat pieces and the uncooked meat pieces rolled down in an interlaced manner.

These soldiers of Fangling defenders are even more unbearable than those of the Di people in the future. Many people not only did not bring weapons around, but some even took off their leather armor when they were drunk. Now the private soldiers of the Cai family were slashing and slashing, and they really didn't even have any defense. Many people subconsciously held the wine bowl, meat pieces, and even bones in their hands, and then they were naturally cut and screamed and cried.

Amid the screams, Cai Mao raised his sword and raised it high, "The Di people are about to rebel! Now kill the main evil, and the rest will descend quickly!"

Until now, Cai Mao's plan was smooth, but the subsequent changes caught Cai Mao off guard.

In Cai Mao's plan, as long as the Di generals were drawn out and killed in the street, the defenders in Fangling City would naturally collapse in an instant. Then Cai Mao used the reason why the Di people "planned a rebellion" to control Fangling City, then welcome Zhuge Liang into the city, then went back to build the Dongshan camp, and then marched into Jingzhou, Xiangyang, and achieved the career of the Cai family.

The first half of the plan went smoothly, but after Cai Mao shouted "The Di people will rebel", things seemed to have begun to deviate a little from Cai Mao's plan...

Perhaps although Cai Mao was not drunk, the alcohol he consumed still made Cai Mao's nerves slow to operate. Or perhaps Cai Mao had not faced Di people alone before, nor did he really understand the social structure of the Di people, which made the slogans or instructions issued by Cai Mao basically have no effect on the Di people!
