"No!! That Liu Qi has gone to Xinye, and the big-eared thief will come at any time, and he can't be slow at all!! ”

Cai Shi shouted loudly, and suddenly snatched the treasure knife from Cai Mao's hand, and actually rushed towards her husband Liu Biao with a knife. Liu Biao looked at Cai's killing, and suddenly attacked, and pulled out a sharp sword hidden in the bed. Cai's rush was too fast, Liu Biao got up angrily, tried his best to cut Cai's head with a sword.

"Slut !!!!!!"

The sword light flashed, and a rain of blood flew violently, and Cai's head was suddenly split in two. Cai Mao saw Cai being hacked to death by Liu Biao, and he couldn't regret it, so he immediately rushed up with his people.

"Give me the old thief a knife and chop it into meat sauce!!"

Cai Mao and Cai's relationship was very deep, and at this time, they were full of anger and hatred, and they roared with all their might. Seeing that Liu Biao would be hacked to death by countless machetes.

Thundered!!!!!!

At this moment, above the sky, a huge thunderbolt slashed down, breaking the roof and slashing in front of Liu's surface. The dozens of Cai's centaurs who rushed to the forefront were immediately slashed by the thunder.

"Hahahaha!! Damned!! Damnation!!! If you are so rebellious, will you not be damned!!! ”

Liu Biao's eyes widened, he finished laughing, and suddenly raised his sword and cut his throat, killing himself. After Liu Biao's death, several thunderbolts fell from the sky one after another, and Cai Mao was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew.

Soon, Liu Biao's dormitory, under the thunderstorm, caught fire in many places. Liu Biao and Cai's bodies were engulfed in flames, and Cai Mao didn't dare to stay here anymore when she saw this, so she left immediately with her men and horses.

Liu Biao died, and so did Cai. Cai Mao became the most powerful person in Jingzhou overnight. Cai Mao's temperament has changed greatly, as if she has changed a person. He approached Zhang Yun to discuss, wanting to write a fake will and make his nephew Liu Cong the lord of Jingzhou.

Zhang Yun heard that his eyes suddenly burst into gloomy light, and said in a low voice to Cai Mao.

Now that the foundation is unstable, the eldest son Liu Qi left Xinye and will seek Liu Xuande's help. Liu Xuande is hypocritical and righteous, and he has long had the heart to plot Jingzhou. Moreover, many bureaucrats in Jingzhou, such as civil servants and Iraqi people, also have a good impression of him, and the people are also deceived by his benevolence and righteousness. If Liu Xuande used Liu Qi's name at this time to rebel in Jingzhou! Jingzhou will be in chaos! ”

When Cai Mao heard this, his face suddenly turned cold, and he asked Zhang Yun in a cold voice.

"According to the public's view, what should I do?"

"Didn't the general hear that in the past, Zhao Gao and Li Si ordered the death of Qin Shizi Fusu and the general Meng Tian in order to help Qin II Hu Hai stabilize the world? Now Jingzhou is quite similar to the current situation at that time, why didn't the general follow suit? ”

Zhang Yun showed a sneer, and Cai Mao saw it, as if she understood Zhang Yun's intentions.

"The meaning of the public statement is to teach me not to report the funeral, temporarily cover up the death of the lord, and then pretend to give the will of the lord to give Liu Qi and Liu Bei death! I am afraid that Liu Qi and Liu Bei are not as loyal and ignorant as Fusu and Meng Tian! Besides, Meng Tian is a loyal and righteous hero, but Liu Bei is a traitor in troubled times! ”

Cai Mao squinted her eyes and said with some doubts. Zhang Yun had already thought about it in his heart, and replied quickly.

"If you want to give it to death, Liu Qi and Liu Bei will naturally not receive the order. But the general can use the order of the lord to transfer his minions, after all, the lord is the lord of Jingzhou, and almost all the soldiers and horses under Liu Xuande's command at this time are soldiers of Jingzhou. The general can first order that all the troops in Jingzhou under Liu Xuande be transferred, and then at the same time issue an order to remove Liu Qi from the position of Jiangxia County Guard, and then send someone to take advantage of Liu Qi's absence in Jiangxia to rush to Jiangxia to collect his power.

In this way, Liu Qi and Liu Bei will pull out their minions, and the general can take advantage of the situation to send troops to Xinye and destroy them! At that time, the general will announce the will again, and assist the second son, Liu Cong, to take over the throne of Jingzhou, so that the situation in Jingzhou can be stabilized. The second son is still young, and he must obey the general in everything, so Jingzhou belongs..."

When Zhang Yun said this, Cai Mao suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! If it is as expected by the public, I will live up to the public! ”

Zhang Yun was also overjoyed when he heard this, bowed his hand, and thanked Cai Mao first. At this time, Liu Biao was dead, no one could suppress the Cai family, the Cai family was so powerful, when Liu Biao was still alive, most of the bureaucrats in Jingzhou were already afraid of tigers, and now that Liu Biao is dead, these Jingzhou bureaucrats dare not anger Cai Mao's might. At this point, the power of Jingzhou fell into the hands of Cai Mao, and the Cai family was already unstoppable in Jingzhou!

Jingzhou will change its owner, and even Cai Mao will promote some confidants to take power in order to stabilize the power. Such a great opportunity, how could Zhang Yun not firmly grasp it!

Cai Mao tried his best to seize the power of Jingzhou. His first step was to kill Liu Biao first, and the second step was to be implemented on the same day according to Zhang Yun's plan. Cai Mao imitated Liu Biao's handwriting, wrote two documents, sent an envoy to Xinye, and at the same time ordered Zhang Yun to rush to Jiangxia to lead Jiangxia.

A few days later, in Hanshou City, people were panicked. Liu Cong was fourteen years old at the time, quite smart, and the ministers didn't know what the situation was now, so they asked Liu Cong to come forward and come to see Cai Mao. At this time, Liu Cong did not know the news that his parents had died. But there is also a subtle sense of inappropriateness.

Liu Cong is very old, and he first gave Cai Mao the gift of his elders, and then asked him about the doubts in his heart. Cai Mao did not hide it, and told the current situation one by one. Of course, Cai Mao concealed the facts, but said that Liu Biao had passed away a few days ago, and his mother Cai was heartbroken and went with Liu Biao.

Liu Cong was shocked when he heard this, and immediately knelt down and cried bitterly, crying very bitterly. Cai Mao looked at her coldly, comforted her for a while, and Liu Cong sobbed.

"My parents have died, why didn't my uncle report the funeral? Let the two of them revere their souls in the ground? ”

Cai Mao's face turned cold, and then said to Liu Cong.

"The reason why I'm like this is because I'm all a virtuous nephew!"

Liu Cong's eyes widened, and his tear-stained face was full of complicated colors. Cai Mao squinted, with a bit of resentment in her eyes.

"The virtuous nephew knows that the lord's will will will allow your brother Liu Qi to take over the throne of Jingzhou!"

When Liu Cong heard this, his whole body trembled, and his teeth trembled. For a long time, he thought that with the help of his mother and his uncle Cai Mao, who held the power of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, once his father died, the position of the lord of Jingzhou would definitely belong to him. Liu Cong never expected that Liu Biao would choose Liu Qi!

Cai Mao saw that Liu Cong's face was full of fear and disbelief, so she smiled coldly, and then said again.

"Your brother Liu Qi is cowardly by nature and has always been good friends with Liu Xuande. If he is allowed to take over the throne of Jingzhou, the power of Jingzhou will fall into the hands of Liu Xuande. Liu Xuande and my Cai clan are like fire and water. And you are my sister's son, let me ask Liu Xuande how can you and me be allowed to consolidate the power of Jingzhou! ”

"Uncle, what should I do!?"

The grievances between Cai and Liu Bei, how could Liu Cong not know. Liu Cong lost his sense of proportion for a moment, and hurriedly grabbed Cai Mao's sleeve and asked urgently. Cai Mao's face was cold and said slowly.

"If the virtuous nephew wants to save his life, there is no other way than to take the position of the lord of Jingzhou!"

"But my father abandoned the world, my brother is now Jiangxia, and my uncle Liu Bei is in Xinye. My uncle wants to make me the master, if my brother and uncle Xingbing ask about the crime, how can I explain it? ”

When Liu Cong heard this, he was a little happy at first, but soon asked fearfully. Cai Mao's face was flat, so she told Liu Cong about the strategy she had discussed with Zhang Yun. When Liu Cong heard this, his heart was settled, and the corners of his mouth didn't feel a little ecstatic smile.

"Virtuous nephew, you and appease the heart of Jingzhou's civil and military affairs, everything is up to my uncle, I will decide for you."

When Cai Mao's voice fell, Liu Cong knelt on the ground and thanked Cai Mao for his great kindness. Seeing Liu Cong like this, Cai Mao also smiled a little in her heart. The more Liu Cong relied on him, the easier it would be to control him in the future.

When he was young, Liu Cong said goodbye, remembered Cai Mao's instructions in his heart, and returned to a group of Jingzhou bureaucrats, telling him that his father was not in serious trouble, and his condition had stabilized slightly, so that everyone did not have to worry. A few days ago that night, the Jingzhou Pastoral Mansion, the shouts of killing shook the main city, and several places in the mansion caught fire. Everyone asked again, and Liu Cong answered them one by one with Cai Mao's instructions. Everyone had doubts, and then they asked. But Liu Cong had a cold face, and without saying a word, everyone had no choice but to retreat.

At the same time, in Shinno Castle. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were gathering in the county hall. Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and flicked the goose feather fan in his hand. But Liu Bei was restless and stopped talking.

In the past half a month, strange things have happened one after another, which really makes Liu Bei unsure. Previously, Cao Cao suddenly ordered him to be the general of Zhengnan, and soon after, there were many rumors in Jingzhou, spreading rumors that he wanted to take advantage of Liu Biao's critical illness and plot against Jingzhou.

Liu Bei secretly sensed that this must be Cao Cao's ploy, and he was worried. Several times he wanted to go to Jingzhou to meet Liu Biao and show his heart. But they were all stopped by Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang told him that due to Liu Biao's illness, Jingzhou is calm on the surface, but it is actually turbulent in secret. Liu Biao is sick in bed all day long, unable to sit in charge of the overall situation, if Liu Bei rushes to Jingzhou at this time, not only can he not refute the rumors, but he will be victimized by the villain. Liu Bei also felt justified when he heard this, so he held down this thought, but if he didn't refute the rumors, Liu Bei was afraid that he would be suspected and damage his reputation, so he asked Zhuge Liang for advice. Zhuge Liang smiled lightly at that time, and only said to wait and see the situation for the time being.

"Strategist, it's been half a month, can I really sit and wait here?"

Liu Bei still couldn't hold back the apprehension in his heart, and asked. Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came, Zhuge Liang opened his eyes slightly, and smiled at Liu Bei.

"Huh. The lord is calm and restless. I'll be able to do it soon. ”

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and before he could ask questions, a soldier walked in to report.

"Report! The eldest prince Liu Qi begged to see him outside the door! ”

"Liu Qi? He's not guarding Jiangxia, why is he here!? ”

Liu Bei was shocked again and looked at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was bland, as if he had expected it. Seeing this, Liu Bei must have thought about it to Zhuge Liang, and gradually his heart settled down, and he quickly ordered the soldiers to bring Liu Qi to see him.

After a while, Liu Qi walked in quickly, his face was full of pathos and anxiety, and as soon as he entered the lobby, he knelt down on his knees and cried.

"Uncle save me!!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but get up in surprise and hurriedly asked.

"Kong Ming didn't teach you before, could it be that the Cai family still hasn't given up, and wants to put you to death!?"

"Definitely! Uncle doesn't know anything, my father he! He!!! ”

Liu Bei's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had sensed something, and shouted loudly.

"What is my brother Jingsheng's !!?"

"My father was seriously ill and wanted to make me his lord, so he ordered my uncle to assist me as a councilor. Unexpectedly, the traitor Cai Mao and the slut Cai learned about it, and the two sisters and brothers were mad, and they didn't know what else they would do. I also ask my uncle to hurry up and rush to Jingzhou to stabilize the overall situation of Jingzhou, otherwise my father will not wait for my uncle's army to arrive, and he will die, and the Cai family will gather power, change my father's will, and set up my brother Liu Cong as the main leader to lead Jingzhou! ”

Liu Qi said sharply, Liu Bei seemed to have suffered a great blow, staggered a few steps, and shouted miserably.

"My brother Jingsheng is on the verge of his life! The Cai family is still not ambitious enough and wants to take advantage of the fire to rob! ! How miserable my brother is!! ”

Zhuge Liang condensed and bowed his hand on the side.

"There is life and death, and this is a certainty. Please also mourn the Lord's Day. ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang spoke, Liu Qi hurriedly knelt down to Zhuge Liang as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Mr. is resourceful, and please ask Mr. to help!"

Zhuge Liang frowned, and said in embarrassment.

"Eldest son, it's not that I don't want to wait. But recently, there have been many rumors in Jingzhou, saying that my lord wants to take advantage of Liu Jingzhou's critical illness to forcibly seize Jingzhou. If my lord sends troops at this time, he will be talked about and blamed by the world! What's more, this is a family affair for you and others, after all, my father-in-law is an outsider, how can he interfere at will. ”

"Sir's words are wrong, my uncle is my Han bloodline, and he is commensurate with my father and brother, how can he be an outsider! The younger nephew has always treated his uncle as a father. The uncle also regarded the little nephew as flesh and blood under the knee. Now, my father's life will be ruined. How could my uncle stand idly by! ”

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was unwilling, Liu Qi immediately bowed down to Liu Bei again. Liu Qi was desperate at this time, if a Jingzhou prince was forced to do so, it could be described as sad.

Liu Bei couldn't bear it, and said to Zhuge Liang urgently.

"Kong Ming, what the virtuous nephew said is reasonable. In the past, I defeated Cao thieves, and everyone in the world was Cao thieves. The world is so big, but I don't have a place to live. If it weren't for my brother Jingsheng's acceptance of me, I would have died long ago. My brother is so gracious, it is difficult to repay one of them for his death. Now that Jingzhou is in trouble, how can I not help! ”

After Zhuge Liang heard this, his face changed, his cold expression relaxed slightly, and he said in a condensed voice.

"It's just that there is no basis for words, but with the one-sided words of the eldest prince, how can the bureaucrats in Jingzhou be convinced!"
