Chapter 577 Cai's Conspiracy
"Hey, what do you think of my two sons?" After listening to Liu Bei's words, Liu Bei suddenly sighed, and then said so after the so-called sigh, which made Liu Bei a little confused for a moment.
Half a sound, Liu Bei replied, "The two sons of my brother are extraordinary people. In the future, they will be able to inherit his achievements and carry forward Jingzhou."
"Ha ha, this is just a wise brother. You frame me with good words. I know very well how my two and my children are. Lv Bu made me the king of Xiangyang. Naturally, I hope that my children can inherit my throne and continue to hold the nine counties of Jingzhou, but I also know in my heart that with the ability of the two of them, if they sit in such a big state, they will definitely be jealous of others in the future, but they will cause trouble for themselves. With that, Liu Biao sighed a little.
"Brother, don't worry, as long as I, Liu Bei, will never let the two virtuous nephews suffer some grievances." Seeing Liu Biao like this, Liu Bei quickly stood up and said that he was willing to assist Liu Biao's descendants so that they could sit firmly in the country.
"Well, Lv Bu in the world is so powerful that he is fighting everywhere. Even if there is a virtuous brother on his side, I'm afraid that my children may not be able to take over the nine counties of Jingzhou. I think about it carefully and feel that you are generous and orthodox in my Liu family. I want to give up the nine counties of Jingzhou to the virtuous brother, and I just want the virtuous brother to treat me well. My wife and children are old and young." At this time, Liu Biao sighed, and then some people in the town said to Liu Bei.
As soon as Liu Biao finished his words, a person flashed next to him. He looked at Liu Biao in disbelief. This person was none other than him. It was Liu Biao who married his wife Cai after he came to Jingzhou. Cai was also a shrewd and abnormal person. These days, Liu Biao's illness is getting worse day by day, and Cai is also often taken care of him. Isn't it good? The purpose of persuading each other is to let Liu Biao pass on the position of the lord of Jingzhou to his son Liu cong, but Liu Biao has been hesitating and wants to set up his eldest son Liu Qi to inherit his position. He is afraid that Liu Qi is not strong enough to deter the Cai family. It seems that Jingzhou has a disaster and wants his second son Liu cong to inherit Jing. Zhou was afraid that Liucong was too young to govern, so that the power of Jingzhou fell into the hands of Cai and his brother Cai Mao, which made the Liu Biao family lose power in Jingzhou from then on.
"It's time for my husband to drink medicine." Cai Shi held a bowl of medicine that had already been prepared in his hand. He came forward and whispered.
Hearing Cai's voice, Liu Biao and Liu Bei quickly stopped, but they couldn't help looking at Cai's and wanted to figure out how much Cai had just heard.
"Liu Bei has met his sister-in-law." At this time, Liu Bei quickly got up and saluted slightly.
"I heard that Liu Shijun sits very well in Xinye and is very loved by the local people. The people of Xinye only know that there are such good officials as Liu Shijun in the world, but they don't know who the king of Xiangyang is, and they don't know what the regent is. Dare to ask Mr. Liu if he has this? Seeing Liu Bei salute, Cai gave the medicine bowl in her hand to the girl next to her, asked the girls to take it for Liu Biao, and then turned to Liu Bei and asked. Although it is only a few short sentences, it implies that Liu Bei's intention to buy people's hearts in Xinye is not good.
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Xinye is remote, and the people lacks education. In Xinye, it is just a little tight and weak force. It's just to share the worries of the king of Xiangyang. How dares bow? As for what my sister-in-law just said is just rumors in the streets and alleys, it is not credible. Everyone in the world knows the king of Xiangyang. Since he entered Jingzhou, he has loved the people like a son and is deeply loved by the people. The people regard the king of Xiangyang as a reborn parent, and they are extremely in tears. Hearing Cai's words, Liu Bei immediately realized that something was wrong. Cai wanted to use Liu Bei's love for the people and loved by the people to divide the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Biao, so he quickly denied it, and at the same time, he flattered Liu Biao.
"Well, my wise brother finally came here. We still have important things to discuss, so you can retreat first." Hearing the smell of gunpowder in their words, Liu Biao finally couldn't stand talking. After Liu Biao finished drinking the medicine, he finally waved his hand and drove out the people beside him, leaving Liu Bei to accompany him.
"Well, you have seen that this woman is getting more and more outrageous. With me, I can barely suppress him. If I'm not here, I don't know how arrogant he will be." At this time, Liu Biao first sighed, and then he opened his mouth and said. Obviously, Cai Shihao has been regarded as a major threat to Jingzhou after his death.
"This is my brother's housework, but it's inconvenient for me to say anything. It depends on my brother's meaning." After listening to Liu Biao's words, Liu Bei thought about it for a moment, and finally put up with it. No matter what the relationship between Cai and Liu Biao is, they are a family. It's really not appropriate to participate in it, so as not to get any benefits, but to be involved. It's not worth it.
"You and my brother, is there anything else you can't say? My brother knows that you are versatile and good at governing the family. I think there must be a way to solve this kind of thing. Why don't you talk about it?" Seeing that Liu Bei had nothing to do with himself, Liu Bei said earnestly. Now that Cai is very powerful, Liu Biao deeply feels that there is not even a speaker around him. Today, when Liu Bei arrives, he can have a good discussion.
"Brother, I must say that the younger brother will speak boldly and bluntly, but I don't know who of the two sons of the elder brother prefers to govern Jingzhou?" Liu Bei opened his mouth and finally decided to figure out Liu Biao's intentions first, so as not to make Liu Biao unhappy by saying something, which was not worth it.
"The eldest son Liu Qi is steady and loves the people very much. I love him very much. The second son, Liu Cong, is very smart. Unfortunately, he is playful and active. He may not be the person who can govern Jingzhou. However, if I am like this, I am afraid that the Cai family will not accept it. In addition, Cai Mao has held military power for many years, and his deep military heart is only afraid of disaster. Liu Biao sighed and finally said.
"Although I am not good at learning, I also know that the abolition of Changliyou has been a mess since ancient times. After you didn't see Yuan Shao, Hebei has been in a mess. It is all because of Yuan Shao's abolition of Changliyou, so that the army's heart is lax. Qingzhou Tian Kai even surrendered to Lv Bu directly after Yuan Shao's death. Although Jingzhou Foundation is not small, it can't be compared with Hebei. If my brother imitates Yuan Shao, he is afraid that the demise of Jingzhou will only be on the eve. Hearing the meaning of Liu Biao's words, Liu Bei finally made up his mind to say. There must be a strong mother and uncle of Liucong. If Liucong governs Jingzhou, then I'm afraid there will be nothing about Liu Bei in Jingzhou. However, if Liu Qi governs Jingzhou, then the situation will be different. Although Liu Jing is the eldest son of Liu Biao, because Liu Cong is the same as Liu Biao, they are outsiders, and there is no power that can subdue Jingzhou Haoqiang like Liu Biao, let alone find a Jingzhou Haoqiang marriage with enough weight as Liu Biao, then Liu Qi If you want to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, the only hope is to rely on Liu Bei, who is also a foreigner, but he is powerful, and this is Liu Bei's hope to govern Jingzhou in the future.
"Oh, good brother, I naturally think about it again and again for my brother, but if Cai's family doesn't get rid of it, how can my Qier settle down?" Hearing Liu Bei's words, Liu Biao shook a little, but he shook his head again and said.
"Well, my brother is now in a tough body. We might as well discuss this matter in the future. It's just a matter of Wancheng. Please help me." Seeing Liu Biao's decision for a while, Liu Bei also felt that if he continued to say what he said, maybe Liu Biao would let himself kill Cai Shi, which violated Liu Bei's principle of making a fortune in a muffled voice, so the topic turned back to the matter of Wancheng.
"Since the virtuous brother is so persistent, I will transfer 10,000 soldiers to help you attack Wancheng. It's just that the virtuous brother needs to promise me that once Xiangyang sometimes in the future, the virtuous brother needs to help. After Liu Biao was slightly silent, he said to Liu Bei.
"In this case, thank you, brother. When I was in Jingzhou, I always hoped to have the opportunity to repay my brother's kindness. If there is anything in Xiangyang in the future, I will do my best to solve the problems for my brother. Seeing that Liu Biao had agreed to his request, Liu Bei was happy and hurriedly agreed to Liu Biao.
However, he said that after Cai left Liu Biao's room, he did not go far, but hid in the dark and eavesdropped on the conversation between Liu Biao and Liu Bei. When he learned that Liu Bei intended to support Liu Qi, he had a murderous intention. So that night, Cai Mao came to discuss with Liu Bei.
"My husband has agreed to lend troops to Liu Bei. Do you know about this?" Seeing Cai Mao's arrival, Cai Shi quickly asked.
"Well, I have heard from the house that Liu Bei will come to the barracks tomorrow to transfer troops." That's what Cai Mao said. He didn't think much about it and said it directly.
"Brother, are you confused? Do you really want to give Liu Bei soldiers and horses to help him?" After listening to Cai Mao's words, Cai Shi said with an angry look.
"Is there anything wrong at this time? Is this the lord's order? Hearing that, Cai Mao obviously didn't know the point and asked at a loss.
"Brother, do you know that Liu Bei wants to participate in the affairs of Jingzhou, support Liu Qi as the lord of Jingzhou, and wants to be the enemy with us?" Seeing that Cai Mao didn't know, Cai Shi said angrily.
"What? Is there such a thing? I didn't expect Liu Bei to be so bold that he dared to have such a thought. I really underestimated him. At this time, Cai Mao finally realized that Liu Bei didn't just come here to borrow troops.
"I don't know what you, as an uncle, are you going to do for your nephew's future?" Seeing that Cai Mao had understood, Cai asked in a cold tone.
"Huh, Liu Bei has no talent and no virtue. He has a good appetite. He not only wants to attack Wancheng, but also wants to get involved in Jingzhou. I will give him some old, weak and disabled soldiers. At the same time, I will tell Wancheng the secret of this matter and let him suffer a dumb loss. What do you think, sister?" After thinking about finance and trade for a moment, he said to Cai
