Chapter 957: Cai Sun and Liu Xiang Discuss Cooperation

So don't say it's not, even if the other party really came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, so what, anyway, Liu Bei is actually really now, there is nothing to be afraid of, although he doesn't want to cause trouble and face these, but if trouble really comes to the door, he Liu Bei Liu Xuande still won't be afraid of anything. But of course he wants as little trouble as possible, that's for sure.

After all, what kind of person is Liu Bei, he is the most powerful figure in the world, and he is the only one who has been fighting against Cao Cao and can still live well until now. Of course, Ma Chao and Sun Ce are also Cao Cao's enemies, but they are different from Liu Bei, Liu Bei is the closest one who has the most contact with Cao Cao, how can he say that he did things under Cao Cao back then, and he also stayed in Xu Capital for a long time, so Liu Bei can be said to be indeed extraordinary.

And after all, the other party doesn't have any evidence, no, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he Cai Xun has evidence, so what, now Liu Bei thinks that his strength is okay, so he is really not afraid of his Cai family.

And now Sun Ce asked Liu Bei to ask Cai Xun, Liu Bei said in his heart, okay, since this is the case, then I will say a few words to him, and it can be regarded as if I didn't come in vain.

So at this time, I heard Liu Bei ask, "Master Cai, I don't know what else to do when I come here today, except to reward the soldiers of our army?" ”

As soon as Cai Xun heard that it was Liu Bei who spoke, he naturally would not slack off. And he thought to himself at this time, it was Sun Bofu who said it alone, after all, he was the strongest. So of course he is the principal. But at this time, he Liu Xuande spoke, although he basically didn't say anything before, he didn't ignore him. And this time he asked himself, it looked like Sun Bofu's temptation. But no matter what, I'll have to keep talking.

Then I saw Cai Xun smile, "General Sun, Uncle Liu Huang." In addition to rewarding the soldiers of your army, there is another very important thing. I want to discuss with the two of you about something that is beneficial to both your army and my Cai family! ”

After Sun Ce listened to Cai Xun's words, he asked with a smile, "I don't know what the Cai family master said is beneficial to both you and me, what do you mean?" ”――

Cai Xun listened to Sun Ce's words. It was a mysterious smile. Then he said, "General Sun, Uncle Liu Huang, now your army has just entered Xiangyang City, so I don't know yet, some time ago, the Kuai brothers have already met Sikong Cao Mengde!" ”

When Sun Ce and Liu Bei heard this, their hearts also chuckled, and they said in their hearts that the Kuai family and Cao Mengde in Zhonglu had already caught up? The two of them really didn't pay attention to this. I had been patronizing the troops in Jiangxia before, so I just knew that Cao Cao had returned to Xiangyang. I really don't know much about the rest. And after all, he had only just entered Xiangyang not long ago, so how could he know what happened to Cao Cao in Xiangyang before.

As for Cai Xun that he knows this, this is nothing, after all, the Cai family is the head snake of Xiangyang, so is it possible that they don't know about Xiangyang? In this regard, whether it was Sun Ce or Liu Bei, they did not suspect anything, but as soon as they heard that the Kuai brothers had already met Cao Cao's face, both of them had a faint sense of crisis.

After all, you can't help but look down on the local forces in Jingzhou, after all, as the power of the local snake, after you occupy Jingzhou, you actually have to rely on others in many things, so can you deal with them, of course you can't-

To say that when Cai Mao was alive, it was naturally the Cai family that was the largest family in Jingzhou, after all, Cai Mao's power was there. Cai Mao's people account for half of the power in the Jingzhou army, so can other families compare with him, especially the Jingzhou Water Army.

However, when the Jingzhou army was defeated and retreated by Liu Bei, Ma Chao and Sun Ce, after so many battles, in the end, it was the dead and wounded, the running running, and the surrender. Until later, even Cai Mao died, and the last Jingzhou army was naturally cheap Liu Bei. And now there are still zΓ i, even if they are the men and horses of the Jingzhou army, only Liu Qi has them, but there is no Jingzhou army in other places.

As soon as Cai Mao died, the status of the Cai family plummeted, even if it was still a force in Jingzhou, but it was incomparable with before. After all, because of Cai Mao's power in the army before, the people of other families had to let him score three points, but now, Cai Mao is dead, and the Jingzhou army should be said to be gone, so who can still be afraid of him Cai family like before-

However, the people of the other clans in Jingzhou did not unite to deal with the Cai family. After all, although they had a holiday with Cai Mao, they didn't have any deep hatred with the Cai family. The so-called is that people hate death, and since Cai Mao is dead, this matter will naturally pass. As for those who go to the well at this time, unless it is that kind of deep hatred, deep hatred in the sea of blood, or they will definitely not do such a thing.

There are certain rules everywhere, and there are naturally among them, and if anyone really goes too far, then the consequences can only be attacked by a group. But I have to say that the power of the Cai family has plummeted, and it is no longer as beautiful as when Cai Mao was alive, anyway, in Jingzhou, it is like this.

Besides, people are very realistic, when Cai Mao was alive, even if he was beaten and retreated, and he was defeated repeatedly, there were still people who befriended them. But in the end, after he died, and then the Jingzhou army basically disappeared, there was no one to slap them anymore-

And Cai Xun, the head of the family, can be regarded as being in danger, he is naturally aware of his family's situation. But he didn't have a good way to do it. You said that even the Jingzhou army is gone, how can you let yourself be like Cai Mao before, so that your power can be elevated to that Cheng dΓΉ?

It's not that he didn't want to go over to contact Cao Cao and their own forces. But like other families, they are all watching, after all, Jingzhou's shape is too chaotic for people to see clearly, at least he Cai Xun can't understand it. Knowing that the Kuai brothers came to Xiangyang to visit Cao Cao, Cai Xun couldn't sit still anymore.

When Cai Mao was alive, the Cai family was the first force. And after his death, it can be said that the Kuai family in Zhonglu is the first force.

So with such a big move by the Kuai brothers, may Cai Xun not pay attention. Actually, don't say it's him. The other families, which don't pay attention, are all the same. They want to see, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue. In the end, how did he cooperate with Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army. This is a starter for others.

But after the Kuai brothers finished their work, there was no action from the family, and even Cai Xun, who was about to move, quieted down and did not make any move.

Actually, it's not that he wants to do this, he doesn't actually want to, but he can't help it.

When the Kuai brothers were looking for Cao Cao, Cai Xun heard the news. He couldn't sit still, but he didn't want to unite with Cao Cao. Don't look at Cai Mao, who is pro-Cao. But Cai Xun is definitely not, even if he admits that Cao Cao's Yanzhou army is not bad, but what he values is who can occupy Jingzhou in the end, or Nanjun and Xiangyang.

Although Xiangyang was occupied by Cao Cao's Yanzhou army at that time, Cai Xun believed that this time would not last long. And then he also heard about the Sun and Liu coalition forces, so his eyes lit up, and when Sun Ce and Liu Bei jointly attacked Qi Chun, Cai Xun was already very concerned about them.

In Cai Xun's view, Sun Ce and Liu Bei's Sun-Liu alliance is actually a good choice. As for Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army, it is not in Cai Xun's consideration-

As for saying that Cai Mao died at the hands of Liu Bei, the festival between the Cai family and Liu Bei, Cai Xun thought about this very clearly.

But he knew that after all, the Sun-Liu coalition army was still dominated by Sun Ce. How can it be said that Sun Ce is also a prince with two states, and he has a large number of generals, but the background is not comparable to Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who occupied several counties in Jingzhou. Indeed, of course, Cai Xun also knows that Liu Bei's current power and strength have increased and strengthened, but no matter how you say it, they are still inferior to Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, so they are the Sun-Liu coalition, but not the Liu-Sun coalition.

So of course Cai Xun knows that if he talks about these things with Sun Ce and Liu Bei, he Sun Ce and Sun Bofu are the main characters, and Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, although he will not despise him, but he is just a secondary figure after all.

As for whether Liu Xuande will make an obstacle from this, Cai Xun thinks that it will definitely not.

First, he can cooperate with Sun Ce and Liu Bei, which can be said to be sincere enough. Don't say that you have to come up with a lot of things, just say that you can cooperate with Liu Bei, can't this be said to be with great sincerity. Everyone in the world knows who Cai Mao died in, and he can withstand the pressure of the family and cooperate with them, which can be said to be indeed a lot of sincerity.

Second, what kind of person is Liu Xuande, that is the world's hero, if it is because of Cai Mao's matter, he pushes himself out, or makes a hindrance from it, then he definitely can't deserve the word hero. So Cai Xun is confident that as long as he goes, he will be sure enough to make Sun Ce and Liu Bei agree to cooperate-

So when the Sun-Liu coalition army captured Xiangyang, Cai Xun knew that the opportunity for himself and his family had come, and he had to grasp it well. is still what he thinks, the main thing is to get Sun Ce and Sun Bofu to agree, after all, he is the most important person. Of course, to Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. You must also show goodwill, and you must not be offended.

Today's Liu Xuande is no longer what it used to be. When I first arrived in Jingzhou. That's just a person under the fence, you have to look at Liu Jingsheng's face, and you have to watch out for Cai Mao. But now, there are other people's forces, and their strength is not weak, at least even Cao Mengde and Ma Mengqi can't be underestimated. As for Sun Bofu, he is even more in alliance with his people. Therefore, Liu Xuande is not a thing in the pool after all.

So, that's it. After Cai Xun made up his mind and prepared the things to be sent, didn't he come to see Sun Ce and Liu Bei. He had already made up his mind in his heart that he would definitely promote cooperation between the two sides today. As long as it is united with the Sun-Liu coalition army. In order to make his family achieve more and greater benefits.

After Sun Ce listened to Cai Xun's words, he said, "I don't know what the head of the Cai family means by this? ”

Cai Xun said, "General Sun, I have to admit that the Kuai brothers have gone ahead of all of us!" ”

Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Zhou Yu all understood the meaning of this, which meant that the Kuai brothers were the first of them to make a move, and they were also showing favor to Cao Cao. But it depends on what Cai Xun means. Is it that they have already cooperated, joined together?

As for saying this. Except for the parties involved, everyone else really doesn't know the specifics. After all, although the Cai family is the head snake in Xiangyang, it is impossible to know what Cao Cao and the others said in the house. And in the end, there was no rumor about how they cooperated, so Cai Xun could only guess that the Kuai family should be regarded as defecting to him Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, and the Yanzhou army.

At this time, Liu Bei asked, "So is the Cai family master here today what does it have to do with this matter?" ”

Liu Bei's meaning is to say, don't talk about other people, you Cai Xun should talk about your own Cai family-

Cai Xun smiled when he heard this, "What Uncle Liu said is good, the second intention of coming here today is to discuss cooperation with the two of you, I don't know if you think you deserve it like this?" ”

Liu Bei smiled secretly in his heart, and said in his heart that after saying so many things, you Cai Xun finally said the ultimate goal of today. I sent something before, and said so much, this and that, it's all foreshadowing, just to lead to the cooperation you want to talk about. But I want to take a good look at what conditions you Cai Xun want to use to impress Sun Bofu, of course, and yourself. If it's just a general condition, it's basically not enough.

Sun Ce was also interested, and then asked, "I don't know what the head of the Cai family thinks, what is it exactly?" ”

To put it bluntly, this is just asking, you Cai Xun hurry up and talk about your conditions, what are the benefits to your side. To say that Sun Ce still cares about this very much, after all, the benefits that he has in hand are the most useful and practical things, and it is impossible for Sun Ce not to care about this-

As soon as Cai Xun heard Sun Ce's words, he smiled secretly in his heart, I'm not afraid that you Sun Bofu won't take the bait, I'm afraid that you will be too greedy. As long as you are not insatiable, then today, the cooperation between the two sides will be done. As for Liu Xuande, he naturally won't disagree with things that are good for him, so of course I am confident that both of you will agree to this matter.

As for the last Zhou Yu in the house, in Cai Xun's opinion, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin are less resourceful people in the world, and of course they will not see the stakes clearly, so of course they will definitely let his lord and Liu Xuande agree to this matter. After all, it's good for both parties, so isn't it the right thing to do?

If you want to say why Sun Ce and Liu Bei can be united, isn't it just the interests and benefits? So now that my family is cooperating with them, the same can make both parties get benefits and benefits, so can this difference be done?

"That's it, if ......"

Next, Cai Xun told Sun Ce and Liu Bei about his conditions, of course, this condition can be said to be quite generous, but it is much more than what was given to them before, and there are some other conditions-

Of course, Sun Ce and Liu Bei both knew that if the other party could offer such conditions, it would naturally not be for nothing to let their side take such a big advantage, so they ......

Sun Ce glanced at Zhou Yu this time, only to see Zhou Yu nodding slightly at his lord, and Sun Ce understood the meaning in Zhou Yu's eyes, as for Liu Bei, he naturally agreed, but this matter has to be listened to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce asked at this time, "I don't know what the Cai family master needs our army to do, or what he wants, this should also have specific things, right?" ”

Cai Xun smiled, of course, it doesn't take so much effort to talk to smart people. (To be continued......)
