It had only been a few days, and the 50,000 strong army was gone just like that?
Even if it was 50,000 pigs, it would take a few months to kill them.
However, from the time Cai Mao set out until now, it had only been less than half a month!
It was gone just like that?
Even Cai Mao and his brother had died in Cao Lie's hands?
Liu Biao's mind buzzed and went blank.
"Little brother, little brother ~"
Mrs. Cai was the first to come back to her senses. She fell to the ground and cried loudly.
"Why?"
"How did Cao Lie manage to wipe out my 50,000 strong army in less than half a month and capture Xinye?”
Liu Biao also came back to his senses. He jumped up and asked hoarsely.
Cao Lie's personal guards set up an ambush to defeat Cai Mao, and then because Wen Pin pretended to open the gate of Xinye, seized the city and passed through, panic on the way.
"Wenpin, this dog thief, he actually surrendered to thief Cao!”
Liu Biao roared in shock and anger, gritting his teeth.
The hall exploded.
The Jing state aides were panic-stricken and panicked.
"I didn't expect that this thief would be so cunning in using troops. It seems that we really underestimated him and made a big mistake.”
"However, first there was Jia Xu, and now there is Wenpin. What charm does this Cao Lie have to actually make them all switch sides?”
Kuai Yue muttered to himself, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Husband, you must avenge my two brothers. You must kill that Cao thief!”
Madam Cai knelt in front of Liu Biao and begged in grief and indignation.
Cai He also stepped forward angrily and asked Liu Biao to send another army to avenge Cai Mao and Cai Zhong.
"Father, my 50,000 strong army has been completely wiped out, and I won't be able to gather enough soldiers to take back Xinye.”
"I think the first thing to do now is to send more troops to Fan City to prevent that Cao thief from crossing the Han River and threatening Xiangyang.”
At this moment, the eldest son, Liu Qi, stood up and spoke.
"Yes, Qi 'er makes sense. Defending Fan City is the most important thing.”
Liu Biao nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with fear.
He was scared of Cao Lie.
His fear of Cao Lie overshadowed his anger over Cai Mao's death, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
"I'm willing to lead the army to defend Fan City!”
Seeing this, Liu Qi took the opportunity to volunteer.
Madam Cai frowned. She knew that Liu Qi wanted to seize this opportunity to seize military power from the Cai family.
How could she accept this? She quickly winked at Cai He.
Cai He understood and quickly said,"My Lord, Eldest Young Master is young and can't take on a great responsibility. Let me guard Fan City."”
"I can't bear the responsibility?"
Liu Qi glared at Cai He and said sarcastically," Cai Mao and Cai Zhong are indeed worthy of great responsibilities. Yet, they easily destroyed my father's 50,000-strong army and even sacrificed their own lives!"”
Cai Zhong was speechless.
"You don't have to fight anymore. Qi 'er will guard Fan City!”
Liu Biao was also disappointed in the Cai brothers. At this critical moment, he chose to use his own son.
Liu Qi was secretly happy and quickly said,"I accept your orders. Don't worry, Father. With you around, Cao Lie can forget about touching Fan City!"”
Liu Biao ordered Liu Qi to lead 20,000 troops to cross the river and defend Fancheng.
At the same time, Liu Biao ordered Huang Zu, who was guarding Jiangxia, to lead the army north as soon as possible.
…
Northwest of Fan City, Huang Family Manor.
Huang Chengyan and Pang De were chatting and laughing.
"Niece Yue Ying greets uncle. Uncle, please have some tea.”
At this moment, a yellow-robed young lady offered a cup of fragrant tea to Pang De Gong.
Pang De took the tea and smiled." It's been a long time since we last met. Yueying has changed even more. A woman really changes eighteen times as she grows up. Who would have thought that the ugly girl when she was young would become the most beautiful woman in Jing Xiang?"”
Huang Yueying blushed when she heard the praise.
"Uncle Pang always makes fun of me. What number one beauty and number one ugly woman in Jing Xiang?”
Huang Yueying mocked herself.
"Those are all boring women. They are jealous of you, so they deliberately slandered you and said that you are the ugliest woman in Jing Xiang.”
"As the saying goes, those who are not hated by others are mediocre. Yueying, you should be proud of this.”
Pang Degong smiled and comforted her.
Huang Yueying smiled without saying a word. She was a little pleased with herself.
Huang Chengyan stroked his beard and smiled lightly when his daughter was praised. He was quite proud.
"Brother Chengyan, Yueying is not young anymore.”
"What do you think about the Zhuge Liang I mentioned to you before?”
Pang De asked with a smile.
Huang Yueying blushed again when her marriage was mentioned. She retreated shyly and hid outside the window to listen.
"You mean the disciple of Mister Shui Jing and your nephew Pang Tong, the one called the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix?”
Huang Chengyan's eyes flickered as he asked.
"That's right."
Pang De Gong nodded and praised," This child is a handsome and talented person. He has the ability to govern the world. Although the Zhuge family of Langye is not considered a prestigious family, they are still considered a family of noble families. I think that this child and your daughter are a perfect match made in heaven."”
"Yes, I have indeed heard of Zhuge Crouching Dragon's reputation. From what Brother Pang said, he seems to be worthy of my Yueying.”
Huang Chengyan nodded slightly.
Pang De Gong's eyes lit up. He smiled." In that case, let's settle the marriage. We'll pick an auspicious day and let the two children marry as soon as possible."”
Huang Chengyan laughed.
At that moment, the two Jing Xiang celebrities started to flip through the almanac and count the good days.
At this moment.
The servant hurried in and cupped his hands." Master, Xiangyang has just sent back news that our 50,000-strong army has been completely wiped out at Bowang Slope. Cao Lie has already attacked Xinye City. Cai Mao and Cai Zhong have been killed. Wen Pin has surrendered to Cao Lie!”
"What?!"
Pang Huang's expression suddenly changed.
Outside the window, Huang Yueying, who was eavesdropping, also changed her expression.
The room was silent.
After a long while, the two of them exclaimed at the same time.
"First, he destroyed Zhang Xiu in ten days. Now, he easily destroyed my 50,000-strong army. This Cao Lie God of War is really out of his mind!”
Pang Degong clicked his tongue in wonder, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"That's right. You have to know that this Cao Lie was unknown not long ago. We have never even heard of him.”
"In just a few short months, he has risen to prominence and become famous throughout the world!”
"This person is indeed extraordinary!"
Huang Chengyan also sighed with emotion.
The two of them were shocked for a long time before they calmed down.
"Although this Cao Lie is impressive, taking down Xinye is already his limit.”
"I think he will make peace with Liu Jingsheng in a few days and return to Xuzhou to meet Cao Cao to deal with Liu Xuande.”
"Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's talk about Yue Ying and Kong Ming's marriage first.”
Pang Degong smiled again.
Huang Chengyan didn't think too much about it and started chatting with a smile.
Outside the window.
"Cao Lie, Cao Lie…"
Huang Yueying repeated the name, but her eyes were filled with curiosity.
…
Xinye City, County Government.
"The Jing state has Cai, Kuai, Pang, and Huang, the four great clans.”
"Amongst them, the Cai and Kuai families are the strongest and most valued. The Cai family is in charge of the army and the Kuai family is in charge of politics.”
"The Huang family has a branch of Huang Zu, who is highly regarded by Liu Biao. They guard the important town of Jiangxia and guard against Sun Ce in Jiangdong.”
"As for that Huang Chengyan, Liu Biao had invited him several times, but he refused to be an official.”
"As for the Pang clan…"
Wen Pin talked non-stop about the complicated power structure of Jing Zhou.
"Does Huang Chengyan have a daughter?”
Cao Lie suddenly thought of something and interrupted Wen Pin.
Wen Pin's eyes moved, as if he did not expect Cao Lie to even know this.
He nodded and said," That's right. The young lady of the Huang family is called Huang Yueying. Although she is rumored to be ugly, I have had the honor of meeting her once. She is the most beautiful woman in Jing Xiang."”
As soon as he finished speaking.
"Ding…Tyrant Quest triggered: Abduct Huang Yueying. Success reward unknown. Failure without penalty.”
