However, Cai Mao asked to surrender and led the civil and military officials of Jingzhou out of the city. Cao Ang was wearing armor and the red rabbit was under his crotch. Pojun hung it on the red rabbit, leading the big cat, attracting Xin Ping, Le Jin, Li Dian and three thousand elite soldiers to the city of Xiangyang.

The first ones were Liu Cong, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Fu Xun, Wang Can, and followed Wenpin, Zhang Yun, Song Zhong, Deng Yi, Liu Xian and other generals.

The crowd looked at Cao Ang from afar and led a colorful tiger to come, and their hearts were trembling. When Cao Ang arrived in front of everyone, Cai Mao hurriedly held the seal and the military talisman on behalf of Liu Cong, and walked towards Cao Ang.

"Cai Mao greets the General of the Central Army with a facial features!" Cai Mao held the seal and the military talisman high, but looked at the big cat with his eyes, fearing that the beast king would give him a mouthful.

Cao Ang was very pleased and met the civil and military officials in Jingzhou. He was very respectful in his words. He did not look down on others because they were surrendered generals. The civil and military officials in Jingzhou thought that Cao Ang should be arrogant, but now he saw Cao Ang treating them like this, and he was convinced.

Cai Mao said: "The General of the Central Army is really extraordinary. Even if he loves to him, he is the king of beasts like a tiger. I really want to increase the power of the General of the Central Army!"

Such flattering words made the civil and military officials in Jingzhou a little embarrassed. But Kuai Yue chuckled and his heart was full of disdain.

Cao Ang laughed and said, "Thank you for praise from Mr. Cai, Big Cat, say hello to Mr. Cai."

The big cat walked forward, raised its head and opened its mouth wide, and "whistled" at Cai Mao. Cai Mao's face turned pale, but his mouth still praised the big cat's majesty.

Jing Xiang and the civil and military officials secretly praised this tiger for being spiritual.

Le Jin and Li Dian had completed the inspection of Xiangyang City, and all the important areas arranged their own soldiers to report to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang then sent Li Dian to arrange a large army to station, lead Le Jin, Xin Ping, and lead the big cat into Xiangyang City for a banquet.

Cao Ang sat in the main seat, the big cat was lying at Cao Ang's feet, and on the left were Xin Ping, Le Jin, Liu Cong and Jingzhou scholars, and on the right were Jingzhou military generals.

Halfway through the wine, Cao Ang asked Xiangyang City how many horses and ships are now, and who is the hand of the navy.

Cai Mao hurriedly bowed and said, "There are now 40,000 horse and infantry troops in Xiangyang, 20,000 navy troops, and more than 7,000 ships. I will hold Mao's hand for a while."

Cao Ang smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I will grant you the commander-in-chief of the navy, commanding 10,000 troops, and 3,000 ships to you, and become the Jingxiang naval army for me. How about it?"

Cai Mao thanked him during the attendance. He never expected that Cao Ang would let him command the army.

Cao Ang said again: "Where is the literary recruitment?"

Wen Pin was busy attending and bowed, "No."

Cao Ang poured a glass of wine, "Do you dare to rule the 20,000 cavalry and infantry troops in Jingxiang, and reject Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang, and Liu Bei in the west?"

Wen Pin was very happy, and the military power of Jingxiang was in the hands of Cai Mao. As a general, he had never commanded more than 5,000 troops. Now Cao Ang arrived and ordered him to command 20,000 troops. How could Wen Pin not be happy?

"I wish to serve the young master!"

"Since that's the case, drink this cup!"

Wen Pin readily agreed.

Everyone was jealous and was frightened by Cao Ang's majesty but did not dare to act rashly, so they had to go with Cao Ang to have a banquet.

Everyone returned with great pleasure, and Cao Ang stayed with Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang to talk.

Cao Ang said to Kuai Yue seriously: "I know the cleverness and talent of the Lord. I want to entrust Nanjun to you to the Lord and use Wenpeng as the general to assist him. Can you be willing to serve me?"

Kuai Yue thanked Cao Ang: "The lord is virtuous, kind and kind, and he is highly valued for me. How can Yue? How dare he not serve the lord's death?"

Cao Ang laughed: "I won the two brothers and brothers, and I will be far better than Xiangyang, which is the joy of Nanjun!"

The two of them bowed to thank them.

However, it was said that Huang Zhong was captured by the dead soldiers, and Cao Ang knew that he would definitely not surrender, so he might as well go to Jingzhou to persuade him again, so he was pressed into the camp and waited for good wine and meat every day.

Now that Xiangyang has fallen, Cao Ang then sent Xin Ping to recommend Huang Zhong to the emperor and asked him to sit down and set up wine and meat. "I know that the loyal and righteous people of Han promoted to the Han Dynasty dare not act rashly. Now that Xiangyang has fallen, I dare to say that the general's talent is commanded by ten thousand people, and the generals who dominate the world should cherish their lives!"

Huang Zhong didn't speak, drank a lot of wine and ate meat. When he heard Cao Ang said that he was "the commander of ten thousand people", he sneered: "I am just an old general, easily captured by the young master, so how dare I speak out?"

Cao Ang sighed: "This is not a crime of war. What can the situation of Jingxiang? What can tens of thousands of enemies be like? Liu Bei is in a jealous mind and takes Liu Qi to the four counties in Jingnan. His intention to be independent is not the general's fault!"

Huang Zhong sighed, "I am only defeated by the general of the army, why should I excuse me?"

Cao Ang knew there was a show and hurriedly said, "The general is loyal and righteous, and everything I say is true!"

Huang Zhong was grateful for Cao Ang’s sincere kindness and said, “I wish to drive forward for the young master!”

Cao Ang hurriedly helped Huang Zhong up, "It's not like this!"

Then he sent 20,000 Jingxiang cavalry and infantry to Huang Zhong and ordered him to guard Xiangyang.

Cao Ang wrote all the arrangements in the book and sent someone to Xudu.

However, Sun Quan sent Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ling Tong and Taishi Ci to lead a total of 20,000 troops to capture Jiangxia. Gan Ning found military information and stationed troops in Fankou, waiting for Jiangdong to attack.

Gao Shun heard that the army was 20,000, and they were four brave generals. He was worried, "Why not, why not send someone to report to the lord? Please increase troops to help?"

At that time, Cao Ang had not crossed the Han River, Gan Ning frowned and said, "It's nothing. Now the lord attacks Xiangyang. Xiangyang City is high and thick, and the troops cannot be divided. With the ability of our two men, we can stop the four generals of Jiangdong, so don't worry!"

Gao Shun was not good at water battles, so he stationed his troops on the shore, thinking that he was the support of Ganning and Gansu.

Ganning soldiers lined up, and hundreds of small boats were waiting for the Jiangdong army to arrive like swimming fish.

When the Jiangdong Army arrived, Zhou Tai found that there was only one general on the other side, and the water was on the verge of head-on. Both sides formed a formation, and Zhou Taisi was driving a boat to surround Gan Ning!

Gan Ning has galloped on the river for many years, and I don’t know how many evil thieves and how many heads have been cut. When he saw four generals coming on a boat and snarl, he shouted: “Dare to offend the land of my lord, come, let me Gan Xingba come and try it!”

Gan Ning bent his bow and arrows, and waited for the four arrows to shoot out in front of him. The waves on the river were big, and the four arrows were anxious, so everyone dared not be careless.

Gan Ning asked the soldiers to bend their bows and shoot arrows at the same time. Zhou Taiben saw that Gan Ning was in chaos and caused everyone to rush forward, but he did not expect that Gan Ning did it on purpose, and waited for it to rush hard and shoot arrows around.

The difficulty of defending arrows on the river is far better than on the land, let alone arrows everywhere?

Zhou Tai had no choice but to turn into a front arrow formation, and four generals took the lead, defended the tops of their heads on both sides, and rushed towards Gan Ning with all their might.

Gan Ning was good at using iron chains, and with a grim smile, he swung the iron chain to attack the four people. Zhou Tai and the other four were unable to get close to each other, and the arrows shot like rain. Zhou Tai and the other four had to retreat and return to the big ship to discuss what to do.

The two sides were in a stalemate for more than ten days, and each suffered damage. Zhou Tai and others were unable to make contributions, so they had to send a letter to Sun Quan and ask what to do.

At that time, Liu Bei had occupied the four counties in Jingnan. He followed Jia Xu's plan and sent Sun Qian as an envoy to meet Sun Quan. He told him about the connection and sent Yin Ji to meet Liu Zhang, saying that he would jointly resist Cao Ang.

When Sun Quan received Zhou Tai's letter, hesitated. He reported that Liu Bei had taken the four counties in Jingnan and sent envoys to express his favorable things. Sun Quan had already had a problem in his mind.
