Cai Mao was very interested in what Liu Zheng said, and immediately stared at Liu Zheng, expecting Liu Zheng to speak more clearly.

"Actually, it's very simple, you see that Sun Jian is not pleasing to the eye, and I am naturally quick to get rid of it, let's join forces to get rid of Sun Jian, in this way, I have removed a thorn in my heart, and you have one less opponent, I don't know if you are interested in doing this?"

Liu Zheng briefly described his thoughts to Cai Mao, but after Cai Mao listened, he didn't show too excited looks, as if such a statement could not impress Cai Mao.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, no matter what, Sun Jian is also a member of the imperial court, and he is also a Changsha Taishou, if I join forces with you to deal with him, then wouldn't I become a betrayer of the imperial court, what does Liu Biao think of me, and how can he reuse me? ”

Cai Mao didn't think deeply about Liu Zheng's words, but just thought of Sun Jian's death, which didn't seem to be of any benefit to him.

After Liu Zheng saw that Cai Mao didn't seem to know the deep meaning contained in this, he quickly said a word to Cai Mao again.

"General Cai Mao, Sun Jian's death is only good for you, not harmful."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Think about it, now Sun Jian, it is clear that he wants to compete with you for territory, Guiyang County, Wuling County, almost all of them are about to fall after Sun Jian, even if you eliminate Guo Shi's rebels in the end, the actual controllers of these two counties will definitely not be Liu Biao's turn."

"If Sun Jian dies, who do you say will control these two counties, including Changsha County?"

A smile appeared on Liu Zheng's face.

"Secondly, if I kill Sun Jian and you put down Guo Shi's rebellion, you will not only lose a competitor, but also because of your merits, you will definitely gain Liu Biao's trust, and between you and me, we are not strangers, we don't need to be unpleasant, we can not interfere with each other, and we will be safe."

"In this way, you get what you want, and I get what I need, and everyone is happy."

Liu Zheng explained to Cai Mao again, and Cai Mao listened to Liu Zheng's description, and then understood how important Sun Jian's death was to him.

If Sun Jian does not die, it is true that according to Liu Zheng, he will compete with Liu Biao for the territory of Jingzhou, and at that time, at least three counties will be controlled by Sun Jian, and Sun Jian's power will rise sharply, plus Sun Jian himself is brave in his use of soldiers, Liu Biao may not be Sun Jian's opponent.

And getting rid of Sun Jian, at least for Liu Biao, is a good choice, without Sun Jian, the credit for counterinsurgency will completely fall on Cai Mao, Cai Mao can naturally rely on this matter to become famous, and at the same time be promoted and rich.

But if you want to join forces with Liu Zheng to get rid of Sun Jian, there are still some things that are not good.

At least on the surface, if it is seen, Cai Mao's reputation will stink.

"Liu Zheng, although I also think that I can get rid of Sun Jian, but let me cooperate with you openly and deal with Sun Jian, I'm afraid it's also inappropriate, I have to think about myself."

"Don't worry about this, the cooperation I said is actually not for you to send troops with me to deal with Sun Jian, don't worry, what do you say, even if you are my eldest brother, can I still pit you?"

"The cooperation I am talking about is just for you to take your soldiers and horses out of Sun Jian's camp, and then when I attack Sun Jian next time, if he asks you for help, you don't bring people over to support, so that I can defeat Sun Jian in one fell swoop."

Liu Zheng didn't expect Cai Mao to be able to send troops with him to deal with Sun Jian, Liu Zheng's idea was actually just, when Liu Zheng was dealing with Sun Jian, Cai Mao didn't come over to make trouble.

Although Cai Mao came over to make trouble, Liu Zheng was not afraid, but Cai Mao now has some use value for Liu Zheng, there is no need to turn his face with Cai Mao, Liu Zheng also wants to support Cai Mao and gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou.

Only when Cai Mao has a firm foothold and has enough say in Jingzhou, when Liu Zheng sits in Jiaozhou, he will be able to unite with Cai Mao.

"Well, if that's all there is to it, then I promise you."

"Then it's decided, uncle, now that I have a firm foothold in Jiaozhou, it only takes some time to put together a powerful army and horses, don't worry, no matter what you say, you are Cai Yao's eldest brother, I will definitely not treat you badly, after clearing Sun Jian, I will let that Guo Shi withdraw from the army, and this Jingzhou will be handed over to you intact."

"When the time comes, with this counterinsurgency contribution, you will definitely be able to become the most relied on general under Liu Biao, and your future is limitless!"

Liu Zheng once again made a heavy promise to Cai Mao, so that Cai Mao understood that the bright future was in front of him.

The expression on Cai Mao's face was obviously a little moved, but she didn't say anything, I don't know whether she believed what Liu Zheng said, or expressed doubts about Liu Zheng's words.

After a moment of silence, Cai Mao spoke again.

"Yaoyao, how is she?"

After finishing talking about business, Cai Mao couldn't help but ask Liu Zheng for Cai Yao's news.

In Cai Mao's opinion, Cai Yao is already Liu Zheng's person, in fact, although Cai Yao is interesting to Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng and Cai Yao have not broken the layer of window paper, they are just ordinary friends.

But Liu Zheng was also shocked by Cai Mao's sudden question, and immediately stammered and didn't know how to reply to Cai Mao.

"Huh? That, Yaoyao, she's fine. ”

"Well, I watched her grow up, and she has never left me for so long, I'm afraid I haven't seen her for almost a year, and I don't know what this girl is like now."

Cai Mao's love for Cai Yao, Liu Zheng can still feel it.

"Uncle, don't worry, when the war stops, I will take Cai Yao back to find you. Let you brothers and sisters meet. ”

Liu Zheng didn't know if Cai Yao was willing to go back, but now that she had been away from home for so long, Cai Yao, a girl, should also be homesick, and it was time for her to go back.

Cai Mao nodded, and didn't say anything more, they originally belonged to two different camps, and it was impossible for them to stay here for too long.

After finishing talking about business, Cai Mao quickly said goodbye to Liu Zheng, and the two sides agreed on a time to discuss the matter, and then left separately.

Liu Zheng also quickly returned to Wuling County with his people.

A few days later, sure enough, news came that Cai Mao and Sun Jian had a disagreement, and the soldiers and horses that the two had finally gathered together parted ways within a few days.

Sun Jian was unconvinced because of a defeat, and wanted to lead people to continue to attack Guo Shi's territory, but Cai Mao did not advocate attacking, but wanted to defend, so the two broke up.
