Chapter 146 Extercinate Cai?
Liu Qi wants to inherit Jingzhou. Cai Mao is the first big enemy. After all, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Cao Cao and other princes are only external people. Even in the future, when Liu Bei comes to Jingzhou, he can't stand for a while. The Cai family is different. The Cai family has been operating in Jingzhou for decades, and the power is not small, and whether the Cai family supports Liu Whether it is to surrender to Cao Cao, it is a major resistance for Liu Qi in the future. Therefore, it is urgent to get rid of Cai, and there is no possibility of relief from both sides.
With the habit of the black guard, he will definitely not only send a group of assassins. The subsequent assassins will definitely be much better than today's assassins. With Liu Qi's current strength, he may not be able to resist the assassination of the black guard. Feihuwei is good at land warfare and has to go to the shore first.
"From today on, speed up the way. The soldiers are divided into two groups, day and night, arriving in Xiangyang as soon as possible. In addition, the injured soldiers should try their best to treat them tonight. As for the dead soldiers, they will try their best to arrange according to what General Gan said before. If it doesn't work, come to me." Liu Qi looked at the two people.
"No." Gan Ning and Wang Yi bowed to him.
"The matter of picking up Mr. Qiao's coming to Xiangyang must be kept secret, and it can't be spread out. Then send some people to pick him up to ensure the safety of Mr. Qiao." After saying that, Liu Qi waved his hand to let the two retreat and turned to the inside.
When the two women, Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao, saw Liu Qi coming back, they both got up to greet each other, and their eyes were full of questions.
Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "I have sent someone to answer. You don't have to worry. You also said that there are many guards around Mr. Qiao, and Cai Mao's attention is all here, which will not affect Mr. Qiao."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhe." The two women saluted slightly.
"Well, you go to rest first. You didn't have a rest last night. I'm afraid you're exhausted at this time." Liu Qi looked at the dark eyes of the two women and whispered.
........................
On the bank of a ferry not far from Xiangyang, a young man rode a horse to look at the river in the east from time to time. This man was Ma Zhong, who rushed back all the way. Since he was ordered by Xu Shu to help Liu Qi, he rushed over non-stop. At this time, Jinyiwei was resting in the woods not far away. He was worried. Let's take a look first.
"Lead, the brothers have packed up." A brocade guard ran over.
"Hmm." Ma Zhong turned his head and looked at the visitor. He saw that the visitor was dressed in a thick cloth shirt, dressed like a dwarf. No one who bent his back could see his origin. Seeing the appearance of the visitor's dress, Ma Zhong nodded and was quite satisfied. Dressing in disguise was also one of the skills they wanted to learn.
"From now on, there must be at least three people secretly guarding this ferry. In addition, send people to go east along the river. When they see the prince's ship, they will report it, so that we can respond at any time." Ma Zhong was also dressed as a guard at this time, and the pedestrians around him regarded him as the escort of the family.
"Don't worry, the villain will arrange it now." After saying that, he immediately turned around and trotted away.
Ma Zhong waited at the ferry for a while before turning around and leaving.
Shortly after Ma Zhong left, two people dressed as waitresses came over and nodded slightly to each other. One of them whispered, "This person is a little suspicious. Do you need to report this matter to the leader?"
"You are too careful. This person is probably a guard who just came to pick up people today. You don't have to be suspicious. He didn't even find us. It's probably just a guard of a small family. It's not worth mentioning." Another little one looked impatiently and looked at the little one next to him and complained.
After saying that, the two of them whispered and left.
In a forest not far away, Ma Zhong hid behind the tree and saw the two clearly. After they left, he turned around and left. He walked and stopped all the way. After a long circle, he came to a dense forest. This dense forest was close to a hill, and there was no road around him. When Ma Zhong stepped into the dense forest In the depths, I saw the brocade guards scattered in twos and threes, and there were many detectives of the brocade guards around, paying close attention to the movement around.
Seeing Ma Zhong, two brocade guards came forward and said, "Leader."
"How's it going?" Ma Zhong looked at the situation around him and asked casually.
"The leader can rest assured that this place is extremely secretive. Even those woodcutter hunters and people will not come here. It is impossible for outsiders to find us, and the four sides are ten miles away, and brothers have been arranged to guard them. Once the wind is blowing, they will immediately warn that people will be removed in the future." A brocade guard said respectfully.
"Well, you did a good job." Ma Zhong nodded and praised.
"Thank you, leader." The two brocade guards are all happy. It's really rare to get a praise from Ma Zhong. In the past few months, Ma Zhong has praised them countless times, and a group of people have held their breath and will definitely do impeccable in front of Ma Zhong.
"Let the brothers refresh their spirits, and the prince will arrive in the next two days. At that time, I'm afraid he won't be as small as before." Ma Zhong ordered.
"Yes." The two brocade guards were twitching, and they were obviously worried about what Ma Zhong called a small fight.
..................
In Xiangyang City, the state pastoral mansion, in the study room.
Liu Biao looked at the bamboo slip in front of him with a gloomy face. This bamboo slip was exactly the bamboo slip sent by Song Zhong. On the bamboo slip, Song Zhong did not exaggerate the matter. With Liu Biao's eyes, he could definitely find out the whole process of the matter, so Song Zhong did not care more about this matter.
However, even if Song Zhong did not exaggerate, Liu Biao could see the sword and shadow from the pen and ink in the bamboo slips. Cai Mao's black guard knew that he had also tried to remove the black guard over the years. After all, his men had such great strength. Once he wanted to rebel that day, he only needed to send an assassin to assassinate him, which could lead to chaos in the whole Jingzhou.
However, in recent years, Cai Mao seems to know that Liu Biao has the intention to remove the black guard, so he hides the black guard snow. Because of this, Liu Biao has never known the opportunity to remove the black guard. At present, it is a once-in-a-a-lifetime opportunity for the black guard to dare to assassinate Liu Qi.
"Come on." Liubiao shouted at the door.
"What's your command?" The guard outside the door bowed and asked.
"Go and invite General Wang, and say that I have something important to discuss with him." Liubiao said in a low voice.
"No." The guard took the order and left. He was originally the flying tiger guard trained by Wang Wei, and soon he would find Wang Wei to invite him.
"Lord." Outside the door, Wang Wei came quickly and didn't have time to dress up.
"Come in." Liu Biao said lightly in the study.
Wang Wei immediately pushed the door and entered. He came to Liu's surface and asked, "I don't know what the master's order is to call the last general?"
Wang Wei was Liu Biao's cronies. Liu Biao did not hide that he handed the letter in his hand to Wang Wei and motioned Wang Wei to check it. Wang Wei took over the bamboo slips and saw the content on the bamboo slips in three or two eyes. His face was as old as ever, but his heart was like a stormy wave.
Don't think too much. Wang Wei has guessed the intention of Liu Biao calling him to come. He took a deep breath and handed the bamboo slip to Liu Biao and said, "Lord, are you going to take this opportunity to remove the black guard?"
Liu Biao nodded and said, "Yes, the strength of the black guard is not small. I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles in Cai's hands for a long time. They have not moved before. I couldn't find an opportunity to get rid of them for a while. This time, they dared to assassinate Qier. It's simply unreasonable. If they don't take them out in one fell swoop. Isn't I going to lose all my face?"
The more Liu Biao said, the more angry he became. In the end, he almost roared out. Cai was so bold that he really didn't pay attention to him.
Wang Wei sighed and said, "Does the lord want to do it once and for all, or do you want the remaining strength of the black guard to continue to harm the people?"
"How to say this?" Liu said doubtfully.
"If the lord wants to remove the black guard now, it will not only be impossible to eliminate all the black guard, but also make them alert and give in advance, and may even lead to turmoil in Jingzhou. The Cai family has been operating for decades and has always been the largest family in Jingxiang. I don't know how many families are involved behind them. The Cai family alone controls nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou. If they are in a hurry, I'm afraid Cai Mao will jump over the wall in a hurry. If others take the opportunity to make trouble, I'm afraid that the Flying Tiger Army alone will not be caught, and the Flying Dragon At this time, the army was fighting against Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and he couldn't get out at all, so it was extremely risky to do so. If the lord wants to get rid of the black guard and the forces behind him in one fell swoop, he still needs to be more patient. Wang Wei said in a low voice.
Wang Wei's words made Liu Biao secretly shocked. He wanted to get rid of the black guard, but if the black guard Cai family would react, he really couldn't say it. If Jing Xiang had no war, there was a flying tiger army and a flying dragon army, even if the black guard was removed, the Cai family would not dare to do anything, but this The time is different. Sun Ce has more than 100,000 soldiers above the border. If he is not careful, he will come to Jingzhou to be destroyed.
"What can General Wang do?" Liubiao calmed down and asked.
Seeing that Liu Biao calmed down, Wang Wei was relieved. If Liu Biao really went his own way, it would be bad. Wang Wei meditated for a while and whispered, "The power of the Cai family is too huge. In Jingzhou, the lord can increase the power of the eldest son to compete with it. The eldest son has established his prestige by rushing into Jiangdong this time. If the lord secretly supports it a little, he will definitely increase the power of the eldest son in a short time. At that time, if you kill the guard in black at one fell swoop, you can never suffer in the future.
Liu Biao didn't say anything and was obviously considering Wang Wei's plan. Although he has been disappointed with Liu Qi before. That's why he deliberately neglected him to protect him, but what Liu Qi has done in the past few months, not to mention earth-shaking, at least shocked the whole Xiangyang. As a result, Liu Qi's prestige has also increased day by day. Liu Biao can't help but have some illusions about Liu Qi. If Liu Qi can really kill the black guard, or even the Cai family, it is also suitable to do. The future owner of Jingzhou.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Biao agreed with Wang Wei's opinion and nodded and said, "Just do as you said, but Qier must be foolproof, and this matter will be left to you."
