Section 359
Chapter 359
"It's outrageous! Degui is too arrogant! I have the final say in the nine counties of Jingxiang! Cai Mao dared to secretly plot against Liu Xuanbei. That's my brother! Uncle Liu of the Han Dynasty! I can understand that he is eager to join the new leader, but he can't be so despicable, so that people in the world think that I can't tolerate others, right?"
Liu Biao, one of the "Eight Horses", was so angry that he was even cured of illness when he learned that Cai Mao was preparing to assassinate Liu Bei with him on his back. He jumped up from the couch and called Cai Mao's name to scold him, which made the servants in the mansion wonder why Liu Fujun, who had always been gentle, suddenly became a rogue in the market.
Mrs. Cai was worried while she was favored, but she did not dare to persuade Liu Biao who was furious.
Listening to Liu Biao's words, it was not that Cai Mao blamed Liu Bei for harming Liu Bei, but that he scolded him for taking the blame. So many eyes looked at Liu Bei as soon as he left the house, and he was attacked. Who would believe it if Liu Biao had no share?
Although Liu Biao is old and has no effect in Jingxiang, how many people can climb to this position are idiots? He also knows very well that even if he unites with his life and death enemy Sun Quan, he may not be Cao's opponent. What's more, Sun Quan is probably not only not buying it, but also helping Cao take a bite.
It was only a matter of time before Jingzhou fell into Cao's hands. But how to fall into it was a technical problem. You can't tie yourself up and then run to the gate of Yecheng to kneel down and beg for mercy?
Where can I put the face of the Hantang clan? The world still has the surname Liu now!
"Come on, go and bring Cai Mao here!"
Liu Biao smashed the paperweight on the table with a "bar" sound, which scared Mrs. Cai to scream "ah" and took two steps back. Finally, she was afraid that her husband would chop off her brother's stupid head in anger, and she still knelt down and said, "Rong the concubine said something."
"speak!"
The angry Liu Biao had a grand and strong attitude that only martial artists could have. He sat on the chair with a big thorn, and his sleeves were moving without wind, which made Mrs. Cai's already nervous tone tremble again.
"My brother was originally an ignorant person, but this was done for the sake of his husband and the people of Jingzhou. I hope he would understand his good intentions and forgive his crime of being proficient."
"Hmph!" Liu Biao became even more angry when he heard this. He still thought about it. He obviously wanted to put the shit basin on his head.
"I, Liu Jingsheng, have been here for more than ten years, and everyone praised me as an open-minded gentleman. Your good brother made me a villain whom I was referring to all of us, or should I think about me?"
Liu Biao's fingers were all on Mrs. Cai's nose with one hand, and the beard on her upper lip was raised high, so that she could spray her saliva with a mouthful of spit onto Mrs. Cai's face.
After Liu Biao reached this point, Mrs. Cai also argued with her neck: "Husband, although the Han Dynasty is still surnamed Liu, the country and power are clearly in Cao's hands. I am a wife and dare not talk about the government affairs, but I have to care about my own safety. If Cao's army comes to attack, my husband asks himself when he can defend it?"
"Although Cao is not like the traitor Dong Zhuo, he is also a hero. Otherwise, in just over a decade, how could he unify the north? Then he helped the young emperor, drove the Xiongnu, and suppressed the Hu Qiang? After capturing Jingzhou, killing a few people was just a raising hand. So what about the Han clan relatives? They didn't have many heads."
Speaking of this, Liu Biao was not angry with her words that killed her heart, but slowly calmed down.
“Continue.”
Seeing that Liu Biao was no longer so angry, Mrs. Cai also secretly put down her snacks.
"Although Qi'er is not my biological child, she has always regarded her as her own son. Has your husband ever thought that he is not Cao's opponent? Instead of fighting to the death, it is better to be in a state of no official position. My mother's family is wealthy and she will never be wronged by my family of three. Let's talk about it, let's talk about it..."
Mrs. Cai touched her round belly, and the glory of her motherly nature was revealed here: "Qi'er's brother is about to be born. For the sake of these two brothers, it is better to send Jingxiang to Cao. Our family hides in the mulberry forest, which is also a beautiful thing."
Liu Biao was quite moved. When a person is old, his ambitions will inevitably be eroded. Now he no longer has the passion of entering Jingzhou as a horse. More of it is for the family and descendants.
Liu Qi's personality was a little timid, and Cai was right. Jingzhou was not affected much during the Dong Zhuo Rebellion. Apart from occasionally practicing troops with the Sun family, there was no big move at all, which also led to the Jingzhou army's combat power being far inferior to that of Cao in the north.
But the problem is that even if you are willing to delegate power, you cannot give up a great country in vain. What's more, Liu Biao really has no idea how he will treat him.
I originally wanted to rely on Liu Bei to touch Cao's bottom, but unfortunately, I was destroyed by Cai Mao, a guy who was anxious to hold Cao's thigh.
Thinking of this, Liu Biaoben's thought of giving up became angry again.
"No matter what, your brother has put me in an unjust place this time, and this account will not be settled like this. Besides, Liu Bei is the same clan as me, and now he is under the nose of Jingzhou. If he hates me, Jingzhou will be in chaos without waiting for Cao to come. That Xu Shu is not a simple counselor."
"Oh, my husband still has brothers from the Kuai family?" Seeing that Liu Biao's tone softened, Mrs. Cai beat the snake and followed the stick, shaking Liu Biao's hand with her big belly.
"No matter how powerful Liu Bei is, he has been fleeing for so many years? The one with Guan surname and Zhang surnamed Zhang is only a few thousand people? With the Kuai brothers and my brother, I will never be afraid of just one Liu Bei."
"What do you know? No matter what, I have to send someone to Liu Bei. In addition, let me think about how to deal with De Gui's affairs."
Mrs. Cai wanted to persuade her again, but Liu Biao, who was supported by anger, became weaker because his anger gradually faded. She waved her hand tiredly. Mrs. Cai had no choice but to take a break and let him rest for a while.
Cai Mao was indeed slow enough to react, and he didn't discuss it with others, so he hurriedly set up a plan. Afterwards, when the Kuai brothers heard about it, Cai Mao realized that he had done something stupid - it was not that he was afraid that Cao would not feel his sincerity, but now Liu Biao is still his immediate boss and still has his own power of life and death. Will he... be in danger if he makes such a fuss?
Sending troops without authorization, whether local or central, modern or ancient, feudal, semi-colonial or all kinds of people, is a matter of extreme taboo. Everyone likes to lead troops with obedient people, and of course they are better able. For example, the chairman half a century ago was all obedient. And even if those who make quick decisions, even if they prove that the decisions made are correct, they will be suspicious of the rulers of the centralized monarchy.
Since ancient times, how many heroes and famous generals in China have not died at the hands of the enemy, but at the sword of their own people? Why is it because their actions are inconsistent with those of the rulers. Even if the rulers are incompetent or stupid, they cannot tolerate, especially the generals leading troops who do not obey commands.
Of course, Cai Mao could not know Yue Wumu's experience, but he was finally afraid now. So what if there is a sister who can blow the pillow wind? At most, you can just keep your head from falling off.
Mrs. Cai sent someone to spread the message, meaning that Liu Biao would deal with you, but don’t worry, it won’t be too serious. However, for several days, Liu Biao never sent anyone, which made Cai Mao even more uneasy.
Facing death or someone is not afraid, but facing an unknown fear, almost no one is not worried. Seeing that Mrs. Cai’s belly is about to be ripe, another news came that made Cai Mao even more uneasy.
Liu Biao was about to send Liu Qi to Yecheng to deliver the surrender.
Originally, this matter was similar to what Cai Mao planned, and at least he wanted to surrender Cao.
But the meaning of who to send is definitely different.
If an irrelevant person is sent, then he may be promoted to the title for the errand on the mission.
But if Liu Qi went, it is very likely that Cao Yi would be happy and named him "Yongzhen Jingzhou" like Zhang Xiu.
So, what should I do if the child in my sister's belly? Of course, the most important thing is, what should I do if my brother-in-law do? Wouldn't I pick the grapes and taste them and make wedding dresses for others?
So, Cai Mao did not discuss it with anyone again and did something that no one expected.
Poison!
Who is poisoned?
