Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang left the palace and went to Cai Mansion together.
Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and Cai Mao are all members of large families and have close relationships.
It is normal for them to interact with each other.
Moreover, both parties are members of the same camp, so their interactions will not arouse suspicion.
The three of them arrived at Cai Mansion and finally came to the North Courtyard.
It is forbidden to enter this courtyard, and no attendants usually come in.
The three of them entered the study together and saluted Wang Can who was sitting in the study.
Wang Can and the other three people sat down and asked: "Degui, you resumed your official position.
You have been busy recruiting old troops these days.
What happened?"
At present, Wang Can is most concerned about the issue of military strength.
Liu Bei himself had 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, and together with the original Xiangyang garrison, Liu Bei's troops totaled 60,000 to 70,000.
If Liu Bei forced the people in the city to join the army, he would be able to recruit at least 100,000 troops.
With so many people defending the city, it would be difficult to conquer.
If Wang Can wants to defeat Liu Bei, he must first disintegrate Liu Bei's troops.
Therefore, Cai Maocai continued to contact his old subordinates, trying to win over more people.
Cai Mao said in a low tone: "My lord, there are about 40,000 defenders in Xiangyang City.
After continuous wooing by humble officials, we have been able to mobilize three to four thousand people, but it is still too few."
Wang Can also nodded in agreement.
Three or four thousand people were indeed too few.
Zhuge Liang was able to easily control Xiangyang because Cai Mao had scruples and had to hand over military power.
However, Liu Bei did not take any consideration into account.
Wang Can could only defeat Liu Bei head-on, and he must have enough strength.
Otherwise, once Wang Can shows up, he will be surrounded and suppressed.
Wang Can looked at Kuai Liang again and asked, "Zirou, how are you and Yidu trying to win over Jingzhou officials?"
Kuai Liang said sternly: "My lord, except for Yi Ji, Fu Xun, Wang Wei, Zhuge Liang, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and other officials who are loyal to Liu Bei, the rest of the officials are just idlers and are nothing to worry about.
Especially since they have little power.
He has no military power and can only deal with trivial matters.
It is useless to win over him, and it is easy to leak information. " Wang Can also agreed with Kuai Liang's statement and said: "There is no problem with officials.
The most important thing is to have strength.
Being able to pull up a big army is the most important part.
Degui, you have to keep up your efforts and try to win over more people."
Many people.”
Cai Mao cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will continue to work hard in this humble position."
Wang Can turned his eyes and ordered: "Shi A" "My humble duty is here!"
Shi A heard Wang Can shout and immediately bowed to answer.
Wang Can ordered: "Send a message to Wu Huang and ask the people of the Xi, Ma and Xiang families to come out to meet.
Then you will meet them in person and ask how things are going.
You will handle the matter.
Get this done as soon as possible.”
Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang all raised their eyebrows after hearing Wang Can's words.
It turns out that Wang Can has infiltrated into the Jingxiang family and won over other families.
This method made it impossible for Kuai Liang and others to guess how many things Wang Can had not disclosed, but they understood one thing, that is, they were only a part of Wang Can's plan, not all.
Shi A sent a message through Wu Huang and finally met with the Ma family in a secluded restaurant.
The person who came to attend the appointment was not Ma Yong, the head of the Ma family, but Ma Liang, Ma Yong's eldest son.

When Shi A saw Ma Liang, he was a little confused because he didn't expect that the Ma family would send a young boy to take charge.
Obviously, this was beyond Shi'a's expectation.
Immediately, Shi A asked: "Ma Liang, can you fully represent the Ma family?"
This was something Shi A was worried about, and when he heard Wang Can talk about Ma Yong's situation, he felt that Ma Yong was hesitant and timid.
Now the Ma family suddenly sent out a boy, which was a bit hasty.
Ma Liang didn't pay attention to Shi A's question.
He smiled and said calmly: "First of all, since I am here, I can fully represent the Ma family.
Secondly, my appearance is inconspicuous and will not attract anyone's attention.
Furthermore, I am the future of the Ma family.
The heir has now taken over the affairs of King Shu, so if you have any questions, just tell me."
It was a bit funny for Shi A to see Ma Liang being old-fashioned and acting like an adult.
However, he felt that the child in front of him was stronger than Ma Yong.
He is decisive in doing things and never procrastinates.
He is much more capable than Ma Yong.
Shi A asked straight to the point: "I came to you this time to inquire about the situation during this period.
Your Ma family has attracted many families.
I have spread this matter to Shu and informed the King of Shu.
But now we need to confirm that Ma How many people can we organize a team?
I need you to give me a definite answer."
Ma Liang lowered his head and pondered, and suddenly asked: "So, your Excellency is planning to lead people to start an uprising in the city to respond to the Shu army stationed outside the city, so as to cooperate internally and externally to defeat Liu Bei."
"clever" Shi A glanced at Ma Liang appreciatively and felt that the boy in front of him had indeed a very flexible mind and was a real character.
Ma Liang said solemnly: "A conservative estimate is that we can organize two thousand people."
"Two thousand people" Shi A whispered, somewhat in disbelief.
Seeing the expression on Shi'a's face, Ma Liang thought that Shi'a thought that the number of people was too small, so he didn't believe it, so he explained: "Two thousand people is already the maximum number of people that the Ma family can prepare, because the combat effectiveness must be guaranteed, and the number of people must be guaranteed."
The people summoned can be obedient, so two thousand people are most suitable.
If the number is larger, it will be uncontrollable. " Shi A didn't think it was too little, but felt it was a little too much.
A family can easily prepare two thousand people, which is indeed impressive.
Although Ma Liang represented the Ma family and recruited many families in Xiangyang City to gather 2,000 people, Shi A was surprised and surprised.
Shi A stroked his hand and said: "Very good, let's set it at two thousand people.
You should prepare as early as possible and wait for the news."
"Okay, I'll take care of it, farewell."
After the matter was settled, Ma Liang immediately stood up and left.
Next, Shi A changed two places, meeting people from Xi Zhen and the Xiang family at different locations, and determined the number of people provided by the two families.
Compared to Ma Liang, the other two family heads were unable to gather 2,000 people, obviously not trying their best.
However, with Ma Liang in front of him, Shi A set a standard of two thousand people for the Xi family and the Xiang family.
In this way, a team of 6,000 people can be gathered.
In Xiangyang City, there are 6,000 people, which is already quite impressive.
It is not a big or small force.
Although the specific combat effectiveness cannot be determined yet, it cannot be underestimated.
At that time, coupled with the power of Kuai and Cai, the power will be even stronger.
However, what is in front of me is not enough.
Wang Can still needs to continue working hard if he wants to defeat Liu Bei once and for all.
Shi A completed what Wang Can arranged and immediately got up and returned to Cai Mansion.
However, when Shi A was walking on the road, he found someone following him.
This incident immediately aroused Shi'a's vigilance, because the person following him may have targeted the Xi family or the Xiang family, and thus also targeted him.

Shi'a was agile and a veteran in this area.
He hid easily and got rid of the people who were following him.
Not only that, Shia also quietly hung behind the person who was following him, followed up, and determined where the person who was following him came from.
The people following Shi A were people sent by the Yang family who did not seek refuge with Wang Can but with Liu Bei.
The Yang family is also a large family in Jingxiang and should not be underestimated.
Shi A quietly left, and after making sure no one was following him, he started to return.
When he returned to Cai Mansion, Shi A immediately reported to Wang Can about being followed.
Wang Can's expression turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Since the Yang family is helping Liu Bei and standing on the opposite side of us, we can only eradicate the Yang family.
Moreover, the Yang family has noticed the movements of the Jingxiang clan.
This is a big problem.
The hidden danger must be removed, otherwise it will affect our next actions.
Send someone to notify Wu Huang and ask him to send someone to kill the main figures of the Yang family. " "promise" Shi A respectfully agreed, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
If the Yang family is not eliminated, there will eventually be hidden dangers. s: One of three updates, the first day of the new year.
I wish you all a happy new year
