However, it was said that Liu Biao recruited Liu Bei this time, in addition to what Cao Cao said, it also had the effect of pillow wind.

recounting the past, Liu Biao entered Xiangxiang because he accepted Cai's wife and gained a firm foothold. However, at that time, Liu Biao was not low, and today, he is even more old and frail, but the Cai family is still in his prime.

Cai's is not too worried about herself, after all, without Liu Biao, she is still the wife that Liu Mingming is marrying, and at worst, there is still the Cai family behind her back.

It's just that although Cai's wife was the main wife, before Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, he still had a wife, but he died of exhaustion after giving birth to a son, that is, Cai's son was not the eldest son, but the second son. Now is the time for the young and the young to be orderly, and the Cai family has to worry about this matter.

Therefore, Cai's family is more critical of Liu Qi at home than before, and if there is a slight inappropriateness, he will preach.

Liu Qi felt bad from Cai's attitude, and after showing Liu Biao, he moved out of the state pastoral mansion. However, the Cai family still did not let him go, and people called the house from time to time to give him some "teachings".

Liu Qi felt that if he continued like this, his life would be lost, but there was nothing he could do. It just so happened that he had an old relationship with Zhuge Kongming in Longzhong, who was close to the left, and invited him to come over to the house one day to ask for a way to save his life.

Liu Biao had not yet realized the true purpose of the strange realm in the mansion, and he also had the intention to cultivate his eldest son, so he agreed, and handed over Jiangxia in addition to the most prosperous southern county where Xiangyang was located.

Liu Qi left Xiangyang, consciously saved his life, and settled down. Cai's was also temporarily relieved because of his release. All this was broken after Liu Bei's arrival last year.

In Cai's view, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Liu Qi are all people of the same clan, Liu Biao trusts Liu Bei and entrusts him with important tasks, which must be cultivating trustworthy people for Liu Qi, so he secretly ordered Cai Mao to deal with Liu Bei. It is precisely because of this that Cai Mao will have the courage to deduct Liu Bei's money, food and ordnance, and will choose Lu to send Liu Bei.

Liu Biao also knew about this matter, but the Cai family was powerful and still needed to be relied on, and Liu Bei was actually not greatly affected, so he pretended not to know.

"Prepare to meet the Governor of the Prefecture!"

When Liu Bei arrived at the Texas Pastoral Mansion, he first met Liu Biao.

Liu Biao looked at Liu Bei beside the couch, his eyes were shining, but he turned his head and commanded his subordinates: "You all stand down, no one is allowed to approach!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Bei felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, and secretly thought: Brother Jingsheng is afraid that there is another meaning when he is coming!

Just when Liu Bei was still speculating about the deep meaning of it, Liu Biao said: "Brother Xian hasn't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”

Liu Bei came back to his senses and said, "Brother Lao is worried, and it is very good to be prepared recently." ”

Liu Biao nodded, and asked again: "Now that Cao's army is menacing, I don't know if the virtuous brother has a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Liu Bei was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then he replied: "Cao's army is strong, and the number of garrisons in Xinye is only three thousand, not one of them, but fortunately, there is still Zhang Xiu in the north, thinking that this is the main purpose of Cao's army, and for a while, it should be unharmed." ”

Liu Bei told the truth, but he didn't notice that when he said "Beizhi Xinye", Liu Biao's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and then narrowed his eyes again.

"Brother Lao Xian is bothered, and his brother is ill at this time, so he can't provide much help to Brother Xian." Liu Biao said apologetically, "As long as you can block Cao Jun, no matter what the virtuous brother needs, although it is said that the brother will do it himself." ”

Liu Bei's eyes flashed, but Liu Biao looked at him squarely, but he just watched silently, Liu Bei still thought that no one had found out, but he just said to himself: "There is no need for anything else, that is, there are few soldiers in the new field, and there is a lot of damage to the ordnance in the process of suppressing bandits, so please ask my brother to help me one or two." ”

At the end, he said: "If Cao's army sends a large army to Xinye, the people on the side will not worry, but the people of Xinye are few and the land is scarce, and once it is surrounded, the food and grass in the army may be insufficient." ”

Liu Biao said with a smile: "These are all trivial matters, and when we take care of the wind and dust for the virtuous brother at night, they should be dealt with properly." In this way, the virtuous brother has other needs, although it is better to deal with them for the sake of the brother. ”

Liu Bei thought about it, and finally shook his head.

Then the two chatted about Xinye's recent situation, and then Liu Bei withdrew.

Brother Xian, Xinye no longer belongs to Jingzhou! Good, good, good!

Liu Biao looked at Liu Bei's departing figure, his heart was up and down, and his face was constantly changing.

"Master, the concubine said that this Liu Bei is ......"

Liu Biao came back to his senses in an instant, his face was full of anger, and he directly interrupted Cai's words: "Who let you in?" ”

Cai was stunned, and then angry: "How dare you murder the old lady? Liu Jingsheng, didn't you take the wrong medicine? ”

Liu Biao became more and more angry: "Don't you think that with the support of the Cai family, you dare to show your teeth and claws in front of the Honzhou Mu and be presumptuous at will, right?" ”

Cai is a woman in the end, and when she saw Liu Biao angry, she couldn't help but feel worried.

"Get out~" Liu Biao didn't bother to look at her again, just said angrily.

Cai's heart was angry again, but thinking of Liu Biao's words just now, his heart trembled again, pursed his lips, and retreated.

"Come on, kill all the guards of Fangcai~"

As soon as Cai Shi stepped out of the door, when he heard this, the anger in his heart immediately surpassed Liu Biao's threat, and when he returned to the backyard, he immediately invited his brother to come.

"Madame, what's the matter with Cai Mao in a hurry?"

"Okay, brother, there are no outsiders here, so there's no need to be polite."

In the time of waiting, Cai's anger subsided, but resentment gradually rose, and when she saw Cai Mao, she immediately said what Liu Biao wanted to do to the Cai family, but she didn't say a word about what she had done before.

"Is that true?"

"Is my sister still talking nonsense?"

Cai Mao was shocked and walked back and forth in the house, he really didn't expect to frustrate Liu Biao's secret plan a few days ago, thinking that he could sit back and relax, but now he didn't expect that there would be a possibility of killing his Cai family.

"Brother, since he is so ruthless, let's just ......" Cai Shi immediately talked about the method she had just thought of.

Cai Mao was shocked again when she heard this, and hurriedly looked around, and saw that there was no one, so she whispered: "Sister, do you know what you are talking about?" If we let it know that we have poisoned the state pastor, the Cai family will really be finished! ”

"Humph!" The Cai family has been confused by resentment, how can they still listen to this, but instead said, "Do you think that with today's events, our Cai family will have a good end?" Even if the old man doesn't do anything to the Cai family, will Liu Qi still let his sister go? Will you let go of the Cai family? Don't forget that my sister and the Cai family have made it difficult for him over the years! ”

Then, without waiting for Cai Mao to speak, Cai Shi said: "As for the poisoning, as long as we do it secretly, who will know when the time comes?" And isn't there a substitute for the dead now? If my brother is worried, he can push it all on him! ”

"Who?"

Cai Mao was not stupid, and when the words fell, he thought of it and said, "You mean Liu Bei?" ”

"That's right!" Cai said very naturally, "This person tried to seize Jingzhou for many days, saying that it was his hand, and no one would believe it." ”

"In that case?"

Cai Mao thought for a while, and said: "That's okay, but you still need to think about it in the long run, otherwise if there is a mistake, it will inevitably be noticed by the Kuai family, you must know that they have the same heart as us on the surface, but in fact they are focused on Liu Qi." ”

This is also natural, with the wisdom of Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, how could they not think that once Liu Biao died, if Liu Cong succeeded to the throne, the Cai family would inevitably be powerful, and his Kuai family would inevitably be affected, and even if Cai Mao had other thoughts, the Kuai family would never recover, so how could he not plan early.

"My brother is not bad, but my sister has a good plan...... "Cai Shi said his poisonous plan with a resentful face.

After Cai Mao listened, she looked at her sister, and her face was full of disbelief: Is this really the innocent sister back then? How to ...... now?

"What? What does my brother think is wrong? ”

Cai Mao came back to her senses, and when she saw Cai's frowning, her heart was cold, and she hurriedly said, "Brother...... Brother carefully calculated it just now, there should be no omissions in this plan, and it can only be implemented at the beginning of the dinner. ”

"Okay, then there's Brother Lao." Cai Yingying said, "Anyway, my brother is Cong'er's uncle, so naturally he will go to Cong'er, right?" ”

Cai Mao's heart was cold again, and she hurriedly responded: "That's right, no matter what Cong'er says, he is a nephew of a certain person, but a family, who else can he help if he doesn't help him." ”

Cai Shi immediately smiled with satisfaction when he heard this.
