"Husband, Jiang Li, she is actually very pitiful......" Cai Lin couldn't say anything about Liu Cong's actions, on the one hand, she was humiliated, and she really wanted to rectify Jiang Li well, but she didn't expect Liu Cong to suddenly send Jiang Li back to the Qinglou ruthlessly, so she remembered the days when she was snubbed by Liu Cong before.

"There is no need to say anything about this matter, there is no room for recovery, and the husband cannot make mistakes again and again. I hope Lin'er, don't mind, tomorrow as a husband may have to be busy for a day, whether you are at home or go out, bring more people, be careful of that woman! ”

"Hmm." Cai Lin is not afraid of Jiang Li's revenge, in the Liu family, Jiang Liheng is because she relies on Liu Cong's favor, and now that she has been driven out of the Liu family, Jiang Li has no arrogant capital, and she Cai Lin is the young lady of the Liu family, Cai Mao's favorite daughter. If Jiang Li, who is in the Qinglou, asks Cai Lin for trouble again, it will be purely looking for death.

"Husband, why don't I go to my cousin's house tomorrow and invite them to come to my house the day after tomorrow."

"You can do it. I remember the sister-in-law of the mountain people's family. ”

"If one of the mountain people and my cousin-in-law agrees to come to the house, you will have to take time to socialize."

"That's natural, the husband will definitely give face to Zu Lin'er. By the way, your mother didn't say anything today, did she? ”

"My mother is very happy, she said that my aunt seems to have matured a lot, and said that I have a good life." Cai Lin repeated her mother's words with a little pride.

"Oh, did you say anything else?"

"And ...... Also, my mother said let's be more modest......" Cai Lin said and lowered her head deeply, and her face quickly flushed.

"Hehe, last night was before the compensation, and I will compensate you a lot in the future, and when the compensation is enough, you should really be modest......"

"Still don't want it, Lin'er is walking a little strangely today, several people asked, Lin'er didn't know how to answer."

"Then let my Lin'er like it......"

The next day, Liu Cong took the time to visit Yi and Han Song, this Yi is inclined to the eldest prince in his position, Liu Cong doesn't care, just need everyone to know more about themselves, and with their own talents, they are not afraid that the generals and officials will not see it. What worries Liu Cong is not that Iraqis support Liu Qi, but that he has too much to do with Liu Bei. What Liu Cong can do is to show his talent in front of Yi Zhi and make Yi Zhi feel that he is better than Liu Bei. Of course, this is a long process.

Han Song was the happiest person for Liu Cong's visit, originally as Liu Biao's envoy to visit Cao Cao several times, although he brought back a lot of important information, but since then he is no longer valued by Liu Biao, even the eldest prince Liu Qi is afraid to avoid it. Liu Cong came from later generations, and he knew Han Song's reputation in Jingzhou, and he also knew that Han Song's personality was not the kind of person who saw things differently.

The ethics of a person who dares to speak up are absolutely fine, and most of them are trustworthy, Liu Cong thinks that Han Song is this kind of person. Han Song's understanding of the second son Liu Cong is also stuck in rumors. It's just that the last two versions have surprised Han Song, but it was Liu Cong's visit that made Han Song quite surprised and very surprised.

Originally, Liu Cong wanted to try to visit Kuaiyue, but was refused. Kuai Yue had thousands of reasons to reject Liu Cong, but the most important thing was because of Cai Mao. is also a wealthy family in Xiangyang, and the main contributor who followed Liu Biao to pacify Jingzhou. Now because of the death of his brother Kuai Liang, the power of the Kuai family is far inferior to that of the Cai family. After Cai Mao married her daughter to Liu, Kuai Yue naturally distanced herself from Liu Cong unnaturally.

And Liu Qi was also looking around in Xiangyang City for someone who could help him deal with Liu Cong's threat, and Kuai Yue was naturally his first choice. What's more, Liu Cong had just beaten Kuai Jian and others on the street, and ordered Huang Quan to twist them to the yamen, if Kuai Yue hadn't come forward to intercede, Kuai Jian was afraid that he would have to eat prison at this moment. Thinking about it, Kuai Yue also hated Liu Cong on this.

Kuai Yue avoided it, and Liu Cong couldn't put a hot face on a cold ass. He is the second son, the governor of Nanjun, and he is still dignified.

On the third day of Liu Cong's return to Xiangyang, Liu Biao held a government meeting in the General's Mansion, which was attended by officials of all sizes in Xiangyang City. The main topic of the meeting was naturally the question of the selection of the Nanjun Taishou.

Liu Biao first affirmed that he had not prepared candidates in advance, but asked Liu Cong to briefly review the process of leading the troops this time, and then let everyone speak freely. Although everyone wanted to figure out Liu Biao's thoughts and make up their minds, they were unwilling to miss the opportunity to speak. Otherwise, Liu Biaozhen would ignore their existence.

As a result, there are several versions of the Nanjun Taishou candidate.

The popular candidates are naturally the two sons, who are similar to Liu Cong's expectations: Kuai Yue supports Liu Qi, Han Song supports Liu Cong, and Yi recommends Liu Bei. Cai Mao abided by the agreement with Liu Cong, and did not express her position until the critical moment, Zhang Yun saw that Cai Mao was silent, and pretended to sit on the side deeply. But everyone in the hall knew in their hearts that these two people supported Liu Cong.

Liu Cong needs enough support, and in the current situation, even if Liu Biao is strong, it is not what Liu Cong wants to see.

There is someone who can't sit still more than Liu Cong, and he is Liu Ba who followed Liu Cong to Xiangyang. Originally, according to Liu Ba's situation, he should have kept silent when he saw Liu Biao again, and it was best that Liu Biao didn't notice him. lest they be caught again and questioned.

But for the other two Nanjun Taishou candidates, Liu Ba still hopes that Liu Cong can win. Especially Liu Bei, Liu Ba didn't know how disgusted Liu Bei was. Although he was born with the same surname and respected the Han family, Liu Ba thought that even if Liu Bei was a strong party, he only relied on force to work hard, and his background was just a street gangster, which was too far from his own famous and knowledgeable talents. This reason is enough for Liu Ba to despise Liu Bei all his life!

And Liu Cong is different, Liu Cong is the son of Liu Biao, after the real famous family, Liu Ba also saw Liu Cong's wisdom with his own eyes in Jiangling, compared with the two, although he has not followed Liu Cong with all his heart, but in the end he still feels that Liu Cong is more reasonable and more in line with his political interests.

As for Liu Qi, Liu Ba said that he was brought back to Xiangyang as Liu Cong's henchman this time, even if he had the heart to join Liu Qi, Liu Qi would not accept it. If Liu Qi became the Taishou of Nanjun, it was hard to guarantee that he would not learn from his father and find a reason to cut himself.

Therefore, in public and private, Liu Ba hopes that Liu Cong will serve as the Taishou of Nanjun.

It's just that above the lobby of the General's Mansion, he Liu Baren spoke lightly, don't say that Liu Biao doesn't like him, even if he likes it, according to his little master, who is willing to listen to him. But Liu Ba can't manage so much today. After the generals and officials in Xiangyang expressed their positions one after another, Liu Ba stood up.

"General Zhennan, my lords, Liu Ba knows that people are soft-spoken, but please listen to Liu Ba's words."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Although Liu Biao didn't want to hear Liu Ba speak, since he came from afar and was an official of Nanjun, he naturally wanted to give him the right to speak.

"General Xie." After Liu Ba got permission, he stood up straight, glanced at everyone in the hall, and continued: "As we all know, Nanjun is the key point of my Jingzhou, and the importance of Nanjun's position is self-evident.

Liu Ba thought that those who could be qualified to serve as the Taishou of Nanjun must be both civil and military, loyal to the Han family, and loyal to the generals. That Xinye Liu Bei was originally a reckless seller, but after the incident, he betrayed the master several times and was defeated repeatedly...... How can such a faithless, unrighteous, shameless, and incompetent person be appointed as the Taishou of Nanjun? Liu Ba's evaluation of Liu Bei is exactly the same as Liu Cong, I can hear Liu Biao, Liu Qi and Liu Cong all sweating, he Liu Ba is the second person in the world who dares to evaluate Liu Bei like this, but he is the first to make such a public evaluation.

Liu Qi is even more convinced that Liu Ba is Liu Cong's cronies and one of the strategists. Otherwise, how could Liu Ba's remarks be exactly the same as what Liu Cong said in Liu Biao's study? And Liu Ba didn't care about these and continued: "I have been in charge of official affairs from Wu Ju for many years, and I still know a little about Wu Ju. How many people can stand out from the crowd in both government affairs and military affairs? Although Wu Ju is mediocre, if you want to talk about marching and fighting, except for Liu Cong's son in this hall, I am afraid that only Lord Cai, Lord Zhang and General Wenpin can defeat Wu Ju!

There is Wu Juzhen guarding Nanjun and the mountain bandits are rising, if you change to an ordinary weak person, I am afraid that the mountain bandits will hit Jiangling City in a few days. Then won't the people of Nanjun suffer another calamity, is this what the general and your lords want to see? ”

This is clearly implying that Liu Qi is weak and not suitable to be the Taishou of Nanjun, Liu Cong looked at Liu Ba and thought, he still underestimated this guy, but today he is so bold. If everyone agrees with Liu Ba's words, then the implication is that only Liu Cong, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Wen Ping can be qualified to serve as the Taishou of Nanjun.
