If your father-in-law is willing to carry this burden for me, I can rest assured that I can deal with Cao Cao. ”

Liu Cong said two reasons on the surface, but it was inconvenient for him to tell Cai Lin the deeper reasons. Aung Chae Mao to comprehend it himself. In Liu Cong's plan, if Cai Mao wants to remain neutral, Jiangxia is indeed a good place to go. Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! Liu Congsheng built Jiangxia according to Liu Congzhi's requirements. If Liu Cong is defeated, he can raise troops and surrender to Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao will not slaughter Xiangyang in order to get Jiangxia.

But Liu Cong's other idea was that Jingzhou's troops were limited, and it was better to change the guard as soon as possible than to let Cai Mao stay in Xiangyang and not be able to command at that time. I still have some friendship with Huang Zu, of course, Huang Zu is not a surrender faction, if he wants to surrender, he will surrender to Sun Quan a long time ago. Of course, the most important thing is that Huang Zu has no selfishness, and Liu Cong also saved their father and son.

To deal with Cao Cao, it is not necessary to outrank him in terms of troops, but it is necessary to unite within oneself. Although Cai Mao is his father-in-law, Liu Cong would rather believe in Huang Zu.

Cai Lin saw that Liu Cong was talking solemnly, so she nodded in agreement. This is the only one who Cai Lin can say that he is not applauded, and if he is not successful, there is still room for redemption for Liu Cong.

When Cai Lin returned to her parents' house the next day, she forwarded Liu Cong's words to Cai Mao, accompanied by Mrs. Cai.

"This kid, you're going to drive me away before you can sit down on your ass?" When she first heard it, Cai Mao was furious.

Cai Lin hurriedly told Liu Cong's follow-up plan.

"What is he going to do, Jiangxia is a perennial place of war, how can he be more prosperous than Xiangyang?" Cai Mao asked rhetorically.

"That's not necessarily, I heard Lin'er say that Jiangling City is not bad now, and Cong'er has only been in Jiangling for three years. Jiangling is already comparable to Xiangyang, and the hearts of the people are attached, and the harvest has been bumper year after year. If it is an alliance with Eastern Wu, it is indeed not suitable for Grandfather Huang to continue to stay in Jiangxia. ”

"But if I leave Xiangyang, when will I be able to return to where I am today?" Cai Mao is indeed unwilling, when Liu Biao was in power, he was the general of Zhennan and the military division, and now he is going to Jiangxia, at best, he is just a guard.

"Husband said, General Pingnan is up to you to pick ......"

"Brother, Cong'er is also in a dilemma. However, he was thoughtful for our Cai family. He is a member of the royal family, and now His Majesty has issued a secret edict to let him be the king of Qin. If you don't resist, you will submit to Cao Cao, for fear that you will be scolded by the world. But when he had to fight, even his father-in-law didn't necessarily help him, and in the end he ended up alone. I think Cong'er's method is good, you go to Jiangxia for the time being, if Cong'er can successfully resist Cao Cao's attack within a few years, it will not be easy for my brother to return to Xiangyang? ”

Cai Mao and the three discussed Liu Cong's plan for a long time, and finally Cai Mao compromised and promised to consider it, but did not promise to hand over the military power immediately.

This is also the more ideal effect that Liu Cong expected. He didn't dare to force Cai Mao to be in a hurry, after all, most of Xiangyang City was Cai Mao's old department now.

After receiving Cai Mao's reply, Liu Cong found Huang Quan and asked him to seize the time to contact the middle and lower-level officers in Xiangyang. Time waits for no one, it is May in a blink of an eye, and the time for Cao Cao's southern expedition is getting closer and closer.

Just when everything in Jingzhou was becoming normal, Liu Qi, Kuai Jian and others finally couldn't hold back their actions. But they never expected that Liu Qi would be followed by Jinyiwei every time he went out. Every time he meets with Kuai Jian, Liu Cong can know it for the first time.

In order to cooperate with the actions of Liu Qi and others, on this day, Liu Cong took people to visit Xiang Lang, and there were still three or four hundred meters away from Xiang Lang's house, so he dismissed his entourage and let the coachman carry him towards Xiang Lang's house.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Finally let Kuai Jian and others catch it, Liu Cong's entourage just turned to leave, Kuai Jian stayed on the side of the street with more than a dozen people appearing on the side of the street, first a burst of random shooting, frightened the horseman to get out of the car again and again, holding his head and hiding on the ground.

When Kuai Jian and the others saw it, they immediately surrounded the carriage in a state of encirclement.

Immediately, Kuai Jian waved his hand, and the bow and arrows were fired, and because of the close distance, several arrows soon penetrated the carriage and shot into the carriage.

I could only hear a scream from the carriage!

When Kuai Jian heard this, he thought to himself, now it depends on where you are fleeing. I was about to step forward to check the situation in the carriage, but I didn't know where dozens of guards came out of nowhere and surrounded Kuai Jian and the others in the center! Kuai Jian ran away but found that no matter which direction he ran, someone was rounding him up, which was clearly laid out a long time ago!

The coachman over there had already run to Xiang Lang's mansion to ask for help, and when Xiang Lang heard that Liu Cong had been stabbed, he rushed to the scene with all his family. Kuai Jian and the others wanted to get out, but it was too late. Just as he was about to die and struggle, he only heard an order, and the guards raised their knives and slashed at the few people who were accompanying Kuai Jian, and after a while, only Kuai Jian was left.

As a last resort, Kuai Jian was obediently arrested

After a while, Liu Cong slowly came out of the carriage: "Kuai Jian, you finally can't help it!" Do you think this house is as brainless as you? Look at this armor, is it something that your inferior archers can wear? ”

Looking at Liu Cong, who was unscathed, Kuai Jian knew that he had been fooled!

Liu Cong didn't talk nonsense, and immediately promoted Xiang Lang to work for Fa Cao, responsible for hearing the case.

Liu Qi and Kuai Yue were also shocked to learn that Kuai Jian was arrested! This is over, Kuai Jian knew that he would send someone to Jiangling to assassinate Liu Cong, but now he is in battle and has been arrested! Liu Qi rode out of Xiangyang for the first time and went straight to Xinye! Now the only place that can save his life may be Shinno.

Kuai Yue also instructed his family to pack their luggage, but Liu Cong did not let him succeed, and less than half an hour after the incident, Liu Pan led a thousand cavalry to surround Kuaifu!

The case was not complicated, it happened in front of Xiang Lang's Mansion, and Huang Quan provided information from the side.

Three days later, in the lobby of the Jingzhou Supervision Yuan, Liu Cong looked at each other angrily, and the civil and military forces in Jingzhou did not dare to show the slightest smile. After all, Liu Biao was newly mourned, and Liu Cong succeeded to the throne, and someone dared to assassinate Liu Cong in Xiangyang City just after the mourning ended.

Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others were also in a cold sweat, and scolded the eighteenth generation of Kuai Yue's ancestors in their hearts.

After the people who should have arrived arrived, Liu Cong let Xiang Lang come to the main seat and announce the results of the investigation.

Kuai Jian was taken to the hall by Wuhua Da, but what was unexpected was that Kuai Yue was also tied up by Liu Cong. Cai Mao was about to step forward to persuade Liu Cong to loosen Kuai Yue's bonds, but Liu Cong waved his hand and motioned for Huang Quan to bring witnesses.

This witness is naturally Wang Bao and the others, as well as the families of several other assassins who were beheaded by Liu Cong back then.

These people know each other, but Kuai Yue is confused!

"Kuai Yue, are you guilty?" After Xiang Lang's interrogation, Liu Cong came to Kuai Yue's side.

"Childe, second son, I have wronged you......" Kuai Yue was about to defend himself, but found that Liu Cong's face was even more ugly, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Lord, the little one is guilty, the little one is guilty, Kuai Jian is my nephew, he made such a big mistake, and he is indeed unforgivable!" ”

"Kuai Jian, who instructed you to assassinate this mansion?"

"Liu Cong'er, I can't wait to sleep with your skin and eat your flesh, why do I need to be instructed by others?" Although Kuai Jian was frightened, he was not stupid.

"Really? Huang Quan! Liu Cong said and looked at the envoy of Huang Quan.

Huang Quan immediately took out a dagger and stabbed Kuai Jian's abdomen!

"This is the woman you sent to assassinate the woman in Gangneung, and now I will return it to you. If you don't say anything today, I will order them to shoot arrows at you, and as many arrows you and your assassins have fired, the house will shoot you as many arrows, and not as many as you do! ”

This move is ruthless enough, and then I heard Kuai Jian waw screaming, this is not a battlefield, a person is tied up and shot at close range, and the pain naturally does not need to be said. Huang Quan and the others shot less than ten arrows, and Kuai Jian couldn't stand it, "I said, I said ......"

"It's the eldest prince, and ...... And Jiang Li instructed me ......"

"Fart!" Liu Cong pulled out the saber he was carrying, and slashed it on Kuai Jian's shoulder with the back of the knife, although he didn't cut Kuai Jian's shoulder, but it made Kuai Jian faint directly in pain.

After half a ring, Kuai Jian woke up, and Liu Cong continued: "If you don't tell the truth again, I will change the blade and chop you!" ”

Liu Cong, Huang Quan and others have tortured Kuai Jian for so long and no one has come forward to intercede, after all, most of them know that Liu Cong was assassinated once when he was a Taishou in Nanjun, and now Liu Biaoxin is mourning, Liu Cong's position is not stable, and Kuai Jian jumped out again, it is really a way to kill himself! Even Kuai Yue didn't dare to plead, he really hoped that Liu Cong would be extremely angry and split Kuai Jiansheng with a knife.
