Chapter 54 We have to race against time and develop while fighting! According to the plan, I will kill Cai He with my own hands!

A secret trick?
Mi Zhu looked at the brocade bag in his hand with curiosity, wondering what clever plan Xiao Fang would give Wei Yan.

"Forget it. Military Advisor Xiao is unfathomable. If I could guess what he is thinking, I would be the military advisor..."

After Mi Zhu laughed at himself, he immediately bowed and agreed.

So Mi Zhu put away the brocade bag and left first.

"If Liu Biao turns hostile and attacks first as you expected, it will naturally play into our hands."

"It's just that the military farming system has just been implemented and has not yet shown results. Brother is still immature."

"Jinglue, are you so eager to go to war with Liu Biao now? Is the timing really right?"

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard and expressed his concerns.

Xiao Fang was of course aware that Old Liu's current hard power was still far behind Liu Biao.

But there is no way.

Yuan and Cao will not stop their efforts to unify the north, and will wait for you to develop slowly.

The Little Overlord Sun Ce has pacified Jiangdong, and it won't be long before the Sun family's troops advance westwards towards Jingzhou.

Lao Liu has limited time to develop, so he must race against time to complete the integration of the South before the North is unified.

"The situation in the world is changing rapidly, and the opportunity left for you to seize Jingzhou is fleeting."

"We can only promote military farming while advancing southwards. This is the only solution we can have."

"As for the difference in military strength, let's make up for it with strategy."

Xiao Fang did not explain too much to Guan Yu, but his tone was full of confidence.

Guan Yu was slightly shocked, and after a moment of silence, he bowed to Xiao Fang:

"Since Yu and the military advisor met, you have always been able to plan everything out perfectly."

"There aren't many people I trust in my life. My brother is one, and you, the military advisor, are the second."

"Which way to go? Yu Xin, you are the one!"

Guan Yu's sudden solemn statement made the atmosphere a little serious.

Xiao Fang waved his hand and said with a smile:

"After all, the battle has not started yet. General Yunchang, just relax for now."

"Today is my big wedding day. Let's put official business aside for now. General Yunchang must drink a few glasses of my wedding wine!"

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

So the two of them returned to the main hall.

Xiao Fang was in high spirits and accepted toasts and congratulations from the guests in turn.

Originally, he was just taking a concubine, so there was no need to make it so grand. But this marriage was arranged by Madam Su after all, so it had to be celebrated with great fanfare.

What's more, Liu Bei also used this wedding banquet to test the attitudes of the heroes and celebrities in Nanyang towards him.

The result was naturally satisfying.

Famous people and powerful people in Wancheng came to congratulate with generous gifts, and many celebrities from nearby counties also rushed there after hearing the news.

Everyone wanted to befriend Xiao Fang, the military advisor, and also wanted to use the excuse of congratulating him to show their support for Liu Bei.

After all, from Yuan Shu to Zhang Ji, not only the people of Nanyang, but even these scholars and powerful families had suffered terribly from the disasters.

Now that the clouds have finally cleared and they have welcomed Liu Bei, a benevolent and righteous ruler, how could they not be overjoyed.

These Nanyang nobles who had suffered so much naturally supported Liu Bei from the bottom of their hearts and wished they could weld Liu Bei to death in Nanyang and never let him move for the rest of his life.

Such a situation naturally made Liu Bei quite pleased.

Xiao Fang was in high spirits as he was celebrating the good news, so he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.

Only when he was drunk did he enter the bridal chamber with the help of his maid.

The red candles in the room were burning brightly.

At this time, the bride was wearing a veil and sitting upright on the wedding couch.

The door was closed, and they were the only ones left in the room.

Zou Wan knew that Xiao Fang had come. Her originally uneasy heart suddenly began to beat wildly with nervousness, and she couldn't help but rub her silk handkerchief.

Xiao Fang walked up to her slowly, sat down beside her, took a deep breath, and lifted the veil.

A shy, delicate and charming face with lowered brows caught my eye.

Although we have been together for many days and I should have gotten used to this face, but looking at it again in this atmosphere today, it has a different kind of breathtaking beauty.

Xiao Fang couldn't help but feel moved.

"I am guilty, I hope my husband will forgive me~~"

Zou Wan suddenly stood up and bowed to him, with a look of guilt on her shy face.

Xiao Fang was startled, and hurriedly helped her up and asked:

"Why are you suddenly accusing others of crimes on such a happy day?" Zou Wan blushed and said apologetically.
"I concealed my identity from my husband before. I really shouldn't have done that. I should naturally apologize to my husband~~"

It turned out to be the case.

Xiao Fang was not a petty person. He knew her difficulties and would not take them to heart.

So he stroked her face gently and said to her in a gentle voice:
"When faced with life and death, many men are afraid of death, let alone a woman like you."

"You dare not reveal your true identity to save your life, which is understandable. How can your husband blame you?"

After hearing what Xiao Fang said, Zou Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The guilt on her pretty face faded, her charm grew stronger, and she leaned into Xiao Fang's arms with a shy smile.

"Wan'er, are you truly willing to be my concubine?"

Xiao Fang put his arm around her shoulders and asked softly.

Zou Wan raised her head, looked at him deeply with her bright eyes and said:

"If you hadn't taken me in that day, I'm afraid I would have lost my life. You saved my life, and I will never forget it."

"What's more..."

As the subject changed, Zou Wan's face flushed again, and the shame in her eyes became even stronger, but she couldn't speak.

Moreover, although she had to humble herself to be a concubine, the man she married was Liu Bei's military advisor, a handsome and intelligent man.

Isn't it a thousand times better to marry a man like this than to become the wife of that old man Zhang Ji?
But as a girl, she was too embarrassed to confess these true feelings.

"Besides what?"

The more shy Xiao Fang saw she was, the more he pressed her to ask.

"My husband, please don't ask me anymore. It's getting late. I will serve you and you can rest early~~"

"That's right. The night is short. Let's seize the time and do something meaningful."

"Something meaningful? I don't understand, what is that?"

Laughter rang out and the red candles in the room went out.

...

A hundred miles away, Yuyang County.

At night, the county government.

Wei Yan set out a welcoming banquet and, together with Gong Du, entertained Hu Che'er who had just arrived.

"Brother Wei, the military advisor said that after my 100 Liangzhou cavalrymen escort the grain to Yuyang, they will not rush back to Wancheng to report to the lord. They will stay here for the time being and listen to your orders."

Hu Che'er said as he drank his wine.

Wei Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"Military Advisor Jinglue has really thought it through. He was afraid that my only 3,000 soldiers would not be enough to deal with Cai He, so he specially sent 100 Liangzhou cavalry to help."

Hu Cheer understood what was going on, put down his wine glass and said in surprise:
"Brother Wei, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by dealing with Cai He?"

The words trailed off.

Footsteps were heard and the scout ran in panting.

"General Wei, we are following your instructions and monitoring the enemy's movements in Rang County day and night."

"Last night, Cai He mobilized 5,000 Jingzhou soldiers and marched northwards from the city at night, heading straight for Yuyang."

"At the latest tomorrow morning, the Jingzhou army will be at the gates of the city!"

This statement came out.

Hu Che'er and Gong Du were both shocked. They had obviously not expected that the Jingzhou army would rush towards Yuyang without any warning.

Only Wei Yan was not surprised, but instead had a look of surprise on his face.

It seemed that he had already expected Cai He to lead his troops to attack.

They even hope that the other side will attack.

So he smashed the wine glass and took out a brocade bag from his arms. Under the suspicious gaze of Hu Che'er and Gong Du, he opened the brocade bag and took out a paper book.

After taking a few glances, Wei Yan showed respect on his face and exclaimed:

"The military advisor is truly a master of foresight. Cai's every move is under his control!"

"My lord, you have such a god-like person assisting you. Even if Liu Biao, the self-defensive thief, controls the seven counties of Jingxiang, how can he be your opponent?"

Hu Che'er and Gong Du became more and more confused and were totally bewildered by what they heard.

Wei Yan put away his emotion and a murderous look burned on his face.

"Pass the order down and gather the troops immediately."

"According to the military advisor's plan, we will defeat the Jingzhou army tomorrow morning!"

"I'm going to kill Cai and that guy with my own hands!"
