Originally, Cai Mao wanted to come to express condolences on behalf of Liu Biao after Li Su was injured, but before Cai Mao mentioned this matter, Liu Biao directly sent officials to come, and in terms of the rank of officials, it cannot be explained that Liu Biao attaches great importance to Li Su.

As the general of the Jingzhou Army, Cai Mao's Cai family has gained a lot of benefits, and Cai Mao also knows how many difficulties he will face in the process of the development of the Cai family.

And Cai Mao, who is cautious by nature, wants to prepare more roads for the Cai family to choose from.

It is no secret that the wealthy families with strong backgrounds all have such actions in secret.

And Cai Mao came to Li Su's residence this time just to have a certain friendship with Lu Bu, even if it can't be successful, after Li Su returns to Xuzhou, he will say a few kind words in front of Lu Bu, and the merchants of the Cai family will be able to receive more care when they go to Xuzhou to do business in the future.

Cai Mao's ability to lead troops into battle has many gaps compared to Lu Bu, but he still has his vision.

In the past, when Lu Bu's foothold in Xuzhou was not stable, Yuan Shu led a large army to attack, but he could not get victory, let alone now, even if Lu Bu's situation in Xuzhou was very tense, it was not easy for Yuan Shu to attack Xuzhou and win.

The most likely situation is that Xuzhou is preserved, and Yanzhou is abandoned by Lu Bu.

Even so, Lu Bu is still a powerful existence among the princes, and when such princes show more powerful means, there is also a chance to rise among the princes.

If a war is launched, it is a more difficult thing for the princes, even if Jingzhou is strong, tens of thousands of soldiers go to war, just the daily consumption is an astronomical amount.

And Lu Bu is different, in the process of governing Xuzhou and Yanzhou, he must have collected a large amount of money and materials, just the materials hoarded in Xuzhou, I am afraid it will be enough to deal with the war.

This kind of Lu Bu, how can the princes have no more fears.

Cai Mao faintly felt that it was not a simple matter for this war to push Lu Bu into the abyss, mainly because the means used by Lu Bu were too powerful, but whether it was on the bright side or in the dark, it was a place that was commendable.

Li Su's actions after entering Xiangyang City naturally did not hide from Cai Mao, secretly wooing some Jingzhou officials, and talking about some disadvantages of the war in front of Liu Biao was not a difficult thing for Jingzhou officials.

Besides, many families in Jingzhou are resistant to the war, and how many families were forced to move to Jingzhou because of the war, and finally achieved stable development in Jingzhou, and they don't want to change the stable situation because of some of Liu Biao's actions.

The relationship between the Cai family and Liu Biao is naturally extremely close, otherwise, it would be impossible for Cai Mao to take charge of more military power in the army, and it is precisely because of this that Cai Mao has more plans.

If Yuan Shu's attack on Xuzhou could not be successful, Lu Bu's position in Xuzhou and Yanzhou would be more stable, and after having a certain friendship with Lu Bu, the subsequent things would be much simpler.

As for saying that Lu Bu can come out of this confrontation intact, it is simply impossible.

Once the war begins, the officers and men in the army will inevitably suffer losses on the battlefield, and the Yanzhou Army, which has not been established for a long time, even if it has outstanding points, it is not so easy to get benefits in the hands of the Jingzhou Army.

The Jingzhou army has experienced a lot of wars, and the war experience has allowed the officers and men in the army to have more room to display when facing the enemy, and even brought heavy losses to the Yanzhou army.

It is reasonable for the princes to fight each other for the sake of interests, and the key is that Cai Mao cannot sit idly by and watch the interests of the family suffer after the war.

And after having a certain relationship with Lu Bu, he also sought a path for the development of the family, such a thing, even if Liu Biao knew about it, it was not easy to say anything, after all, the Cai family and Lu Bu only interacted with business.

Cai Mao also secretly sought to buy immortal love, immortal drunk and paper production methods from Lu Bu's hands, if it was successful, it would be extremely obvious to improve the strength of the Cai family, but Lu Bu was too strict in this regard, and after the matter of the Black Pavilion, even if Cai Mao wanted to act in secret, he also had a lot of scruples.

Lu Bu is a powerful prince, even if the Cai family has a prominent position in Jingzhou, it is impossible to get more advantages when facing Lu Bu.

Besides, Lu Buyu has other drastic means in secret.

Cai Mao's arrival surprised Li Su, and although he had an injury on his arm, he still went to greet him.

"General Cai is here, and he is shining." Li Su said politely.

Seeing that Li Su's face was slightly pale, and the injuries on his arms looked very serious, he couldn't help but say angrily: "The state pastor has ordered someone to inquire about the assassin's affairs, and as long as there is news, he will inform the envoy." ”

"Jingzhou will inevitably have a small number of people in the dark, compared to the official, Wen Hou in the past suffered a lot of assassinations in Xuzhou, it's nothing." Li Su waved his hand.

Having said that, Cai Mao still felt a lot of dissatisfaction from Li Su's words, this was an assassination that happened on the boundary of Jingzhou, and after the assassination, Liu Biao didn't even say more, just sent an official from the state pastoral government to come to condole, how much sincerity can there be.

In Li Su's view, personal humiliation is nothing, if Lu Bu's face is damaged, that is the most important thing, and not letting the prestige of the monarch be damaged, which is also what Li Su insists on.

This time he went to Jingzhou as an envoy, but Li Su had the opportunity in front of Lu Bu, and if he had a better performance when dealing with this matter, he would be able to get more attention in front of Lu Bu in the future.

At this time, Li Su completely treated himself as Lu Bu's person.

Besides, even if Li Su wants to change his court, there seems to be no better way out now.

When the princes talked about Lu Bu, they all gritted their teeth, looking like they were eager to kill Lu Bu, not to mention Dong Zhuo, as Dong Zhuo's former subordinates, if Li Su went to take refuge with other princes, the most likely thing to happen would be to be pushed out directly and killed, and there was no emotion.

"General Cai, please." Li Su stretched out his hand and gestured.

Cai Mao is the most powerful figure in Jingzhou, and if he can have a certain amount of friendship, it will be of great help to Li Su's envoy this time.
