Cai Chi stood outside the house, not half of his hometown timidity in his heart, full of the mentality of returning to his hometown. He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and strode towards the gate. When he came to the door, the porter guarding the door stretched out his hand to block it, and said loudly: "Stop, where is the famous thorn?" ”

The children of the past have already undergone earth-shaking changes.

Cai Chi stood in front of the porter, who was no longer recognizable. Cai Chi smiled slightly, took out his name thorn and handed it to the porter. The porter glanced at it, looking at the word 'Cai Chi' on the back of the paper, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Who is Cai Chi?

I haven't heard of it!

In fact, Cai Chi was weak and young when he left, and the porter didn't know Cai Chi at all. He looked at it carefully, but was still unimpressed.

"Wait a minute, I'll report it!"

The porter turned around and ran into the mansion, and Cai Chi waited outside the mansion.

After a while, the porter returned.

The porter waved his hand and said respectfully: "Mr. Cai, the head of the family is waiting for you in the study." ”

"Thank you!"

Cai Chi threw off his robe and strode towards the house. For the layout of Cai's mansion, Cai Chi is very familiar with it. He hurried all the way to the outside of the study, and knocked softly on the door.

"Come in!"

A soft voice rang out from the study.

Cai Chi pushed open the door, entered, turned around and closed the door, only to come to the middle of the study, and said: "Unfilial son Cai Chi, meet my father!" ”

"Sit!"

Cai Mao had a smile on her face, but she was quite surprised in her heart.

The boy who was physically weak in the past is now born rich and handsome, and there are seven points similar to him between his eyebrows, which also makes Cai Mao proud for a while.

After Cai Chi sat down, he took the initiative to say: "My son returned this time because of the teacher's trust. ”

Cai Mao's complexion changed slightly, and a touch of solemnity appeared in her eyes.

Apparently, he had already guessed the reason.

Cai Mao quickly regained her composure, and said unhurriedly: "I can understand the purpose of Wang Zhoumu sending you to Xiangyang. But the state pastor was not willing to get involved in the battle between Cao Cao and Wang Lei. Lord Zhou Mu means neither to offend Cao Cao nor Wang Lei. If you want to convince Zhou Mu to attack Cao Cao, it is almost impossible. ”

Cai Chi smiled and said, "Father, everything is possible. ”

The words were sonorous and powerful, revealing a strong sense of confidence. Today's boy is no longer the person who would tremble when facing Cai Mao in the past.

Cai Mao squinted her eyes and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Cai Chi replied: "The state pastor is unwilling to cooperate, so take him down and control Jingzhou." ”

Cai Mao's expression was solemn, his eyes were even sharper, and he scolded in a deep voice: "Bold, you have only been away from Xiangyang for a few years, and you have become so bold." ”

Cai Chi looked very calm, he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "It's not that my son is bold, my son is just thinking about the future of the Cai family." "Cai Chi is very clear about Cai Mao's criteria, and he is definitely based on the interests of the Cai family. If you want to convince Cai Mao, you must start from the interests of the Cai family, and it is impossible to directly let Cai Mao rebel.

Cai Mao snorted and said, "Go on!" ”

Cai Chi said: "Father thinks that who will win this war? ”

Cai Mao didn't think about it, and said, "It's hard to judge!" ”

Cai Chi said: "I have been working under the teacher, and I know the teacher's situation. In my opinion, the teacher will win. Still, my father certainly wouldn't think so. That being the case, I'll make an assumption for the time being, assuming that the odds of each each are five or five, does my father think it's okay? ”

Cai Mao laughed, this son of his grew up: "It's feasible!" ”

Cai Chi continued: "Suppose the teacher wins, and Cao Cao is defeated. In such a situation, even though Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Zhang Lu, Ma Teng and others were undefeated and maintained their original strength, while the teacher occupied Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Sili, Qingzhou and Yanzhou. Teachers occupy most of the world's territory, and it will be a matter of time before the world is pacified. My father thinks that my judgment is wrong? ”

Cai Mao nodded and said, "If Wang Zhoumu wins, it will be the same reason. ”

Cai Chi said: "Okay, then I'll continue to reason." If the teacher wins, Jingzhou will sooner or later fall into the teacher's control. Because of Liu Biao's approach, even if the Cai family has a relationship between me and the teacher, the benefits that the Cai family gets will definitely be very small. ”

"Yes!"

Cai Mao nodded, and said, "What about Cao Cao's victory?" ”

Cai Chi said: "Suppose that Cao Cao's united princes are victorious, or even the teacher is completely defeated. When the time comes, will Jingzhou be able to get a piece of the pie in the northern territories? ”

Cai Mao shook her head and said, "It's difficult! ”

"Not only is it difficult, but in the next step, Jingzhou will become a territory that everyone is fighting for." Cai Chi looked confident, and said unhurriedly: "The princes defeated the teacher, and Sun Ce of Jiangdong will definitely move troops against Jingzhou in order to control both sides of the Yangtze River and stabilize his strength." ”

"In the same way, Liu Bei will not give up Jingzhou."

"Liu Bei occupied Yuzhou, and because Yuzhou was sandwiched between Cao Cao and Liu Biao, Liu Bei's foundation was not solid. Even, development is restricted. Once Liu Bei took Jingzhou, he could rely on the river in the south to ensure the stability of the south, and then compete with Cao Cao. ”

"Even, Cao Cao may intervene in the war in Jingzhou."

"Jingzhou is the land of four wars, and it is impossible to maintain independence." Cai Chi said boldly: "After the teacher is defeated, what should Jingzhou do? Further, what should the Cai family do? Putting aside the good relationship with the teacher, but re-engaging with Sun Ce, Liu Bei or Cao Cao, this is not of any benefit to the Cai family. ”

Cai Mao said: "Your analysis is reasonable, but I think the strength of the princes' alliance is slightly stronger. ”

"Father's words make sense, but I don't agree with them." Cai Chi shook his head.

Cai Mao said: "We have our own opinions, you can't convince me." ”

Cai Chi smiled slightly and said, "I don't plan to convince my father, what I want to say is that if Jingzhou is on the teacher's side, the teacher will definitely win." There will be no suspense in this battle. ”

Cai Mao asked, "Why?" ”

The corners of Cai Chi's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "Is my father the son of the school entrance examination?" ”

Cai Mao smiled and said in her heart: This son is not simple.

Cai Chi said: "The reason is very simple, the main forces attacking the teacher are Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei, as for the troops in the west, even if Ma Teng or Zhang Lu wins, they are all in the west of Chang'an, and it is difficult to threaten Jizhou in a short time." ”

"The focus is on the battlefield in the east."

"Once the allied forces in the east are dispersed, Zhang Lu and the others will definitely withdraw obediently."

"So, let's analyze the situation in the east."

"The geographical location of Jingzhou is quite special, if you advance to the northeast of Jingzhou, you can attack Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and if you advance to the southeast and south, you can attack Sun Ce."

"Therefore, draw up a three-way army."

"First, send an army from Jiangxia County and go straight to Sun Ce's hinterland. The Jingzhou army attacked Jiangdong, Sun Ce's rear was unstable, and he must withdraw his troops, and the crisis in Bohai County disappeared immediately; Second, send another army north to Yuzhou to attack Liu Bei's hinterland, Liu Bei's rear is unstable, and the army will be withdrawn, and the crisis in Luoyang can be resolved; Third, send troops to attack Yanzhou and attack Cao Cao's rear, Cao Cao was flanked in the north and south, and his troops were insufficient, and he was bound to be defeated. ”

Cai Chi held his head high, looked confident, and said loudly: "For all princes, Jingzhou is quite a key link. Once Jingzhou sends troops, the princes of all walks of life will be defeated. ”

Cai Mao narrowed her eyes, thinking about what Cai Chi had just said. Cai Chi's analysis just now has a certain amount of truth. Once Jingzhou joins Wang Lei's camp, the situation will change dramatically.

Cai Chi continued: "Liu Biao's hesitation is not the material for big things. On the contrary, the teacher is in charge of the society, and once the teacher calms down the world, there is no need to guess what will happen next. Therefore, for the sake of the future of the Cai family, please don't hesitate to father. ”

Cai Mao said: "Even if your analysis is reasonable, it is difficult to succeed just by the Cai family. ”

Cai Chi immediately said: "What my father is worried about is nothing more than the unclear attitude of the Kuai family, please ask my father to inform Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, and invite the two to come to the house." Er believes that Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue will make the right choice. ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to inform you immediately!"

Cai Mao nodded, and directly sent someone to invite Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.

The two fathers and sons were together, and Cai Chi didn't have much to say to talk to Cai Mao, but Cai Mao kept asking. In Cai Mao's eyes, Cai Chi is not only his son, but also Wang Lei's envoy, through Cai Chi, he wants to find out the situation in Jizhou.

Two quarters of an hour later, the Kuai brothers came to the study.

After taking their seats, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue glanced at Cai Chi in unison, and a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes.

Who is this young man?

The situation in Jingzhou can't be hidden from Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.

The young man who suddenly appeared in front of him made the Kuai brothers suspicious.

Cai Chi took the initiative to say: "Little nephew Cai Chi, I have seen two uncles. ”

In an instant, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue understood. The two brothers looked at each other, and there was an incredible look in their eyes. Kuai Liang sat down and took the initiative to say: "If my memory is good, my nephew worshipped the general Wang Lei as a teacher a few years ago, and he went to Jizhou a long time ago, how could he return to Jingzhou?" ”

Kuai Liang guessed the cattiness, but he didn't point it out.

Cai Chi didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "The little nephew returned from Jizhou on the order of the teacher, and came for the war between the teacher and the princes from all walks of life. ”

Kuai Liang said: "Virtuous nephew, this matter is not easy. ”

Cai Chi crackled and said a big call before, convincing Cai Mao. Now that I am talking to Kuailiang, my thoughts are clearer. On the basis of the previous conversation with Cai Mao, Cai Chi reorganized the language, and his words were more convincing.

After Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue heard this, they immediately fell silent.

Both are knowledgeable people who know what kind of situation is more favorable.

Cai Chi's gaze swept over Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, and said, "Father, two uncles, Liu Biao is indecisive and not a master. Although he was famous, he did not have enough means to gain a foothold in troubled times. The current opportunity is a great opportunity for the Cai family and the Kuai family to seek a foundation. ”

After hearing this, Cai Mao's expressions were quite solemn.

At this moment, all three of them fell into deep thought. The three of them have a pivotal position in Jingzhou, and every move can affect the situation in Jingzhou.

Therefore, the three of them should think carefully.

After a long time, Cai Mao said resolutely: "Brother Zirou, Brother Yidu, Chi'er worships the general as a teacher, and the Cai family has already hooked up with the general." Besides, Chi'er is my son, and I support the general. ”

Kuai Liang said: "The Cai family and the Kuai family are in the same breath, since the Cai family supports the general, the Kuai family should also give in, and my Kuai family also supports the general!" ”

Kuai Yue nodded slightly, agreeing.

Cai Chi felt a burst of joy in his heart, with the full support of the Cai family and the Kuai family. The next plan will be easily completed.
