Chapter 763: Kuai Yue and Cai Mao's Conspiracy (1)
Cai was also shocked by the exodus of the people of Xiangyang. Since Cai's marriage to Liu Biao, there has been no such situation in Xiangyang. Cai is not stupid, she knows that as soon as such a situation appears, it will indicate that Jingzhou is no longer safe. At the same time, the Cai family also has a certain source of information in her hands, and she also knows the news that Liu Yu occupies Nanyang. It's just a bit late compared to Cai Mao and others. Cai's other extravagant hopes now, just want her son's position to be able to be held safely, so that she can have a person to rely on, as for his own brother, Cai's heart is bottomed, her brother is now jealous of the position of Jingzhou Thorn History, but first Liu Qi and Liu Bei openly rebelled, and then Liu Yu's army went south, Cai Mao did not carry out the seizure of power.
Cai knew that discussing with Cai Mao was seeking skin with the tiger, but the only thing Cai could rely on now was Cai Mao. Others will not care whether Cai's mother and son live or die.
When Cai Mao arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, Cai Shi said to him very worriedly: "Brother, is the news that Liu Yu's army occupies Nanyang true?" ”
Cai Mao's head was big for a while, he didn't expect that things had already alarmed the Cai family. It's just that Cai Mao didn't want to hide it from Cai's family, and said: "That's right, Nanyang County was taken by Liu Yu, and Liu Bei fled Jiangxia in defeat." At present, Nanyang is entrenched in Liu Yu with a large number of soldiers and horses, and it is possible to go south at any time. Xiangyang is very nervous now. ”
Cai Shi was full of hope that the information she got was wrong, but she didn't expect Cai Mao to give her a very positive answer, so she couldn't help but sit down in distraction.
Seeing her sister-in-law like this, Cai Mao was a little distressed no matter how ruthless she was, and at the same time scolded Liu Bei in her heart, you Liu Bei is not a self-proclaimed imperial uncle of the Han Dynasty and a hero in the world, why are you so bad at dealing with Liu Yu, you have persisted for a year and a half, and you have been defeated so quickly, and you have been defeated so completely, how can you be embarrassed by Cai Dadu. All of Governor Cai's plans are over, and I don't know what to do in the future.
"Sister, don't worry, my brother will definitely guarantee your safety. Brother won't let anyone bully you. Cai Mao solemnly gave Cai a promise.
Cai knew that Cai Mao could only do this, so he said: "Brother, little sister doesn't want anything else, I just hope that my brother can keep Cong'er." ”
Cai Shi understood that she couldn't ask too much of Cai Mao, and she was smart enough to ask Cai Mao for a small request.
Of course, Cai Mao patted his chest and promised, and after saying another comforting word, Cai Mao chose to leave because he was busy with official business. Cai didn't refuse, but after Cai Mao left, Cai cried silently, lamenting that his life was really bitter. Cai now misses the time when Liu Biao was there, although he was unhappy at that time, he didn't have to live so fearfully. People only know how to cherish when they lose.
Cai Mao returned to his house with a heavy heart, he felt that Cai's had reached the end of the mountain, but he, who was an elder brother, could not help her, and he felt very guilty in his heart. This is also the first time Cai Mao feels guilty about Cai.
After a busy day, Cai Mao was physically and mentally tired, so she rested in her room.
In the middle of the night, a figure came to Cai Mao's house and knocked on the door of Cai's mansion. The subordinate guarding the door saw clearly who was coming, and hurriedly reported to Cai Mao. After a period of rest, Cai Mao has recovered a lot. When someone told him that someone was coming to look for him, when he heard the name, Cai Mao had to cheer up and meet him.
"Xeno, why did you come to me so late. What can't we talk about tomorrow? "The person who came is Kuai Yue, Cai Mao knows Kuai Yue's influence in Jingzhou, so he has no dissatisfaction, but he is a little puzzled about Kuai Yue's intention tonight.
Kuai Yue said with a serious face: "Visiting late at night, there are some things I want to discuss with you, please block the left." ”
Cai Mao saw that Kuai Yue was so serious, and thought that there must be something important, and at this time in his own home, Cai Mao gave a hundred dares to Kuai Yue, and he didn't dare to do anything wrong. Cai Mao ordered all the subordinates who were waiting to go out, and the subordinates naturally did not dare to stay, if they knew the secrets between the big people, if one of them accidentally said it, it would be a matter of losing their heads.
After there was no one else, Cai Mao asked, "Xeno, you say, what's the matter?" ”
"I wonder what Deju thinks about the current situation? What can I do? Kuai Yue asked rhetorically.
"Xeno, if you have something to say, just say it. It's not a gentleman's thing to disturb someone's rest late at night. "Cai Mao is a little speechless, dare to love you, Kuai Yue is here to have fun.
Kuai Yue smiled, it seems that Cai Mao has really not changed at all, and her speech is still so direct, she is a little stupid, and said: "Okay, then let's make a long story short." Emperor Shenwu broke Liu Bei, and Nanyang is no longer owned by my Jingzhou. As soon as he thought that Jingzhou might not be safe, he was anxious, and he had no choice but to ask De Jue for help. ”
Cai Mao said helplessly: "Do you think I can have a good way." If Jingzhou's previous strength, I would dare to break my wrist with Liu Yu, but Liu Qi and Liu Bei, two bastards, made Jingzhou's strength so weak, so that Liu Yu had a chance. Now it is really impossible to recapture Nanyang, for today's plan, there is only to mobilize soldiers and horses from other counties to protect Xiangyang, and each family is also contributing people and money, as long as Xiangyang is not lost, Jingzhou still has room to turn. ”
Cai Mao still wants to use the old method and defend with all her might. In the past, when Liu Bei and Liu Qi were in trouble, Cai Mao used this method to block Liu Bei by relying on crowd tactics.
Kuai Yue shook his head secretly, Cai Mao still didn't understand what he meant, so he said seductively: "De Jue, Emperor Shenwu is here with an army of millions. Even Liu Bei can't stop it, can you and me, plus all the forces in Jingzhou, stop it? ”
"If you can't stop it, you can't stop it! Liu Yu made it clear that he wanted to annex Jingzhou, so we can't sit idly by. Cai Mao said righteously.
Kuai Yue sighed, sure enough, Cai Mao's guy was really a straw bag, and he had tempted so much, but he still didn't understand, so Kuai Yue said directly: "If we can't keep Xiangyang, we will be finished by then." It's okay if we die, but our family is innocent. If we anger Emperor Shenwu, our two families will have no place in Jingzhou, and even more seriously, in the whole world. So, Dejue, let's take precautions. ”
"Plan ahead?" Cai Mao's mind still didn't understand what Kuai Yue meant. "Xeno, can you say it directly, you know that I am also tired today, and this brain is really a little confused."
Kuai Yue smiled: "De Jue, have you heard a sentence that a good bird chooses a tree to perch on, and a virtuous minister chooses the lord and a master?" ”
