"Big brother, I can't help it!" Cai He was shocked when he heard this, and said loudly: "This must be Cao Ang's plan, he wants to take the opportunity to kill us, besides, the two armies are fighting, what did he do when he saw you, what did he say?" One is not good, it was spread to Jingzhou, and my brother-in-law said that I can't blame you, eldest brother, since this battle can't be won, the second brother has also returned. Let's go back to Xiangyang! ”

Cai Mao didn't answer, just looked down at the sentence written on Cao Ang's letter to him, "Cai's wealth and honor, Jingzhou is extremely dangerous and ups and downs, all in the public thought, Cao Ang swears by the sky, there is no evil intention, don't be suspicious!" Don't be suspicious! Cai Mao touched her head with a headache, and then raised her head and asked Cai Zhongdao: "What kind of person is Cao Ang?" ”

Cai He stammered stupidly when he heard this: "It's quite... Pretty good guy... Speak very politely.. Politely, not yet.. Nothing shelves. Hearing this, Cai Mao pondered for a long time, looked at the words 'wealth, honor and disgrace' on the letter with uncertain eyes, and gritted his teeth and said: "If you go out, let him let the second brother come back, and the eldest brother will fight him!" ”

Anle County is located at the junction of Wancheng and Anzhong County, the county town is not large, but it has been turbulent in the past three days, and the people and horses of both sides are secretly arranged here, after all, it is a matter of the boss, and the layout is still to be had, of course, the layout of the place is also to be checked.

Anle County ushered in the most important two people on this turbulent third day, Cai Mao and Cao Ang! The two of them only led three or five people around them to show their sincerity, but it is unknown how many soldiers and generals were placed in the county by both sides.

The place where we met was chosen by Cao Ang, quite far away from the noisy market, just a remote and quiet courtyard, with few people and few gossip. When Cai Mao led his cronies to the courtyard, Cao Ang and others were already there, and they saw fragrant tea on the stone table in the courtyard, which looked quite elegant.

"General Cai, please be seated." Cai Mao's face was a little surprised, although he had been prepared, but looking at such a young Cao Ang, Cai Mao's heart was still not a taste, he actually lost to such a person who was less than half his age, and when he thought about it, Cai Mao's heart was really not very comfortable.

"Cao Gongzi." Just casually bowed, Cai Mao sat down opposite Cao Ang, after all, as a hostile camp and defeated by his hands, Cai Mao did not lack hatred in his heart for Cao Ang.

"Hehe, General Cai, do you want tea?" Cai Mao just glanced indifferently at the tea vessel in Cao Ang's hand, then closed his eyes and said, "No need, it will not be good for this." ”

"Oh." Cao Ang didn't seem to be angry, just took back the teacup and tasted it carefully, then closed his eyes and carefully reminisced, to be honest, Cao Ang didn't have the habit of drinking tea, but for later generations, he was used to drinking Coke on weekdays, and he was a little depressed to drink white water every day to live, so in this era, the tea ceremony that can be slightly flavored has become Cao Ang's biggest preference.

Looking at Cao Ang with an aftertaste on his face, Cai Mao's face was not good, and he sneered slightly: "Young Master Cao, you are really bold and tight!" Cao Ang came back to his senses when he heard this, and wondered: "What does General Cai mean by this?" ”

Cai Mao sneered three times: "To say that you are bold, that is, you dare to ask Ben to meet here in the future, aren't you afraid that Ben will kill you?" Cao Ang didn't seem to be the slightest fear when he heard this, but smiled slightly: "What General Cai said is true, but do you know that if you move me now, General Xu Huang Xu will make you die worse than me!" Including your soldiers stationed in Jingzhou and Anzhong, Cao guarantees that none of them will return to Jingzhou alive."

Cai Mao's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and then he glared at Cao Ang with blazing eyes, and Cao Ang just smiled at him, and after a while, Cai Mao's eyes retreated, and became flickering and erratic under Cao Ang's blazing gaze. Seeing this, Cao Ang smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that back then, young master, I was at the same table as me and I went to class every day to compete with each other without blinking. You play with me? What the master has been looking at is the tip of your nose!

When he was young, he saw Cai Mao coughing slightly, and changed the topic: "Cao Gongzi, the two armies are fighting, and you and I, as the main generals, should not see each other, but Cai Mao came here today to thank you for letting go of your brother's kindness, and these two are what Cao Gongzi said in his letter." ”

Hearing this, Cao Ang looked lightly at the guards behind Cai Mao, as if he had doubts. Seeing this, Cai Mao hurriedly said: "These are all my confidants, Cao Gongzi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Cao Ang laughed when he heard this: "Okay! With the general's words, I will be blunt. I have made an appointment to meet the general this time, but in fact, for the sake of peace negotiation, and for the sake of Cai's honor and disgrace and the future of Jingzhou. ”

"Peace?" Cai Mao hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then said disdainfully: "Childe's words are alarmist, what does it have to do with the future of Jingzhou if you negotiate peace?" Cao Ang laughed and said: "The general is so uninteresting, does it mean that the general thinks that Yuan Shu's army is defeated and flees south, and Jingzhou will have no disaster from now on?" Let Liu Jingsheng sit and watch the world? ”

Cai Mao was puzzled when she heard this: "What do you mean by this?" Cao Ang smiled and pointed to the southeast, and said softly: "In the past, Sun Wentai died, I don't know if the general still remembers who died at the hands of whom?" ”

Cai Mao's face couldn't help turning blue, and Cao Ang sneered: "Sun Jian died at the hands of Huang Zu, and now Sun Ce is in the eighty-one prefectures of the six counties of Eastern Wu, and he is not thinking about revenge at any time, Jingzhou is like a tiger in the neighborhood, Liu Jingsheng doesn't know the current affairs, and he actually dares to raise troops to invade the realm of the Son of Heaven, doesn't he think that he, the lord of Jingzhou, has been sitting for a long time?" ”

Cai Mao couldn't help but think carefully when he heard this, only to hear Cao Ang sneer: "If it weren't for the name of his Han clan relatives, how could my father spare him, and then he would have to join forces with Sun Ce in the east and attack him in two ways, and condemn him for a big crime of disrespect!" After that, his left hand slapped the stone case heavily, and Cai Mao was suddenly excited.

"Besides, the general was being used, and he didn't know it yet, and he worked hard for Liu Jingsheng! It's really sad and lamentable. When Cai Mao heard this, she was stunned at first, and then mocked: "Son's words are wrong, Liu Jingzhou is my brother-in-law, and he is in the same boat!" How can it be as you say? Your provocative remarks are too vulgar. ”

"Brother-in-law?" Cao Ang sneered, and then said softly: "In the past, Liu Jingsheng rode into Jingzhou alone, and immediately married the general's sister, the general wouldn't know what it was for, right?" It's just to use Cai's fame and strength to dominate Jingzhou. Now that Jing Xiang has been decided, but the weight of the Cai family, I don't know if the general has thought about it, why didn't Liu Gong personally levy it this time, but instead took the general as the governor and gave all the military powers? It is really a plan to kill people with a knife, this may be too heavy, but the most important thing is to weaken the troops in the hands of the general, and the merit is high and shocking the master, and it is difficult for the Lord to tolerate it since ancient times! ”

These words were discussed by Cao Ang with Sima Yi a long time ago, and he used the fact that Liu Biao had not personally conquered to confuse Cai Mao, even if he didn't believe it, Cao Ang believed that it would definitely leave an impact in his heart.

Sure enough, I saw Cai Mao thinking suspiciously for a moment, and then looked at Cao Ang and said, "Whether this matter is true or not!" But what are you telling me all this for? It's not a plot yet! ”

Cao Ang smiled slightly, did not refute, and said lightly: "Yes, Cao Mou has a plan, the plan is not to invade Jingzhou and get married forever, after all, there are many enemies around my father, and Cao really doesn't want to be an enemy with Liu Jingzhou again." ”

Cai Mao didn't expect Cao Ang to admit his plot so easily, stayed for a while, and hesitated: "But, why did the eldest prince want to tell Cai about this, Lord Sikong should send an envoy to Xiangyang to talk to Liu Jingzhou about this matter?" ”

Cao Ang shook his head and said: "If Liu Jingzhou is a reasonable person, my father would have sent someone to Xiangyang a long time ago, General Cai, Liu Jingzhou is old, his brain is confused, just look at this time it is a mistake to send troops to Wancheng, just imagine if Sun Ce took advantage of the weakness to attack at this time, and there was no general to lead the naval army to resist, who in Jingzhou could stop Sun Ce?" Therefore, after thinking about it, compared with Liu Jingzhou, Cao felt that it was safe to discuss such a major matter with Cai's. ”

Seeing that Cai Mao's face was colorful, Cao Ang continued: "The Cai family is a big clan in Jingzhou, and the clan style is prosperous, and the uncle is the former lieutenant Zhang Wen. Until this time, Cai Mao finally had a smile on Cao Ang: "The prince has praised it, alas, it is not a secret, the lord is already in his fifties and six, and his brain is sometimes a little unclear. ”

Cao Ang smiled understandingly: "General Cai is distressed, Cao knows everything, I only hope that after the general returns to Xiangyang, he will persuade Liu Jingzhou to prevent Eastern Wu, and don't do such an unwise thing." ”

Cai Mao sighed when he heard this: "The eldest prince is honest with each other, Cai Mao is grateful, but although the Cai family is quite powerful in Jingzhou, he is only a subordinate after all, and the weight of his words is still limited." Cao Ang smiled when he heard this: "General Cai's words are too modest, for the Cai family, my father and son have long had the intention of intersecting, it is better to return to the capital, I discussed with my father, and the cousin Gong is the Nanjun Taishou, and the younger brother Cai He is the Nanyang Taishou, and Cai Zhong is the Jiangxia Taishou, I don't know what General Cai wants?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a buzz in Cai Mao's head! If so, then the Cai family has both real power and reputation in Jingzhou! I saw Cai Mao ponder for a moment, and then hesitated: "Son, if the Son of Heaven only values my Cai family, I'm afraid that Liu Jingzhou will be dissatisfied with my Cai family" Cao Ang laughed and said: "Don't worry, not only the Cai family, but also the Huang family, the handsome people of the Huang family should have their own seals, I just ask you to be in front of Liu Jingzhou, make friends with my two families, and make a lot of suggestions to Liu Jingzhou!" ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Cai Mao's eyes couldn't help but shine, and then hurriedly said: "If this is the case, the Cai family will definitely live up to Cao Gong, and will definitely go all out to speak to the lord, and Cao Gong will not invade each other, and will always be an alliance!" Cao Ang laughed when he heard this, and then the two talked happily, until the evening, Cai Mao left, and he and Cao Ang held hands and said goodbye, which was really very different from when they first came in the day.

"Hehe" Looking at Cai Mao's distant figures, Cao Ang couldn't help pursing his lips and laughing, "Come out." I saw that as soon as Cao Ang's voice fell, all over the courtyard, at the corner of the house, at the boundary of the railing, Dianman, Xu Yi and other ambushed tigers all came out, including Sima Yi, the general manager of the General's Mansion.

"Zhongda, your advice is very high." Cao Ang looked up at the setting sun in the distance, and said faintly: "Playing the title of the great families of Jingzhou and befriending them, one can make them grateful to my father, and dissuade Liu Biao from raising troops north." Second, it can increase the internal instability factors in Jingzhou, so that Liu Biao can deal with the internal forces in Jingzhou wholeheartedly. ”

Sima Yi said lightly: "Jingzhou is full of wealthy families, the Tu clan is prosperous, different from the north, if you can show the Cai family three people for the three counties to guard, if Liu Biao does not follow, it will be suspected of violating the king's order, and it will offend the Cai family, once complied, the Cai family's power will be all over the counties outside Xiangyang, and then Liu Biao will work hard to balance the Cai family, and it is difficult to have spare strength to send troops elsewhere." Lord Sikong can let go of the strong enemy in the north, and only need to send a large general to defend the south to be safe. ”

Cao Ang also smiled and said: "Yes, just now I borrowed Cai Mao's words and promised to let my father show that the Son of Heaven would reward the talents of other ethnic groups in Jingzhou. All ethnic groups are vying for power, I want to see how Liu Biaodang copes? Speaking of this, he only listened to Dian Man and sighed: "Listen to Cai Maoyan, Liu Biao is fifty-six years old this year, is it a little too pitiful at such an age..."

Cao Ang couldn't help but smile faintly when he heard this, and turned his head to Sima Yi and said, "Chief Sima, you see that your strategy is so vicious, you can't even see it. ”

Sima Yi replied casually: "If it weren't for General Cao's accurate knowledge of people, and he could guess what kind of person Cai Mao was without seeing him, how would my strategy work?" As soon as the words fell, Sima Yi instantly reacted to something, and hurriedly lowered his head and said in a panic: "Sima Yi was proud for a while, ridiculing the general, a capital crime!" Capital crime! ”

Cao Ang didn't speak, but just looked at Sima Yi with a deep gaze for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "It's okay, I hope that the chief manager can talk a little more about the general like he is now, which is not a good thing." ”
