Chapter 473: Cai Mao's Death
The price of tea is already extremely high in the four counties of Jiangdong and belongs to luxury goods.
Now that the four counties of Jiangdong and Jingzhou's commercial routes have been closed, Jingzhou is not without any tea sales.
It's just that the price is more than four times higher than that of the four counties in Jiangdong!
Now don't say it's someone else, even if it's Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, he feels distressed if he wants to drink tea.
Liu Biao's family only has a few taels of tea, but Cai Mao actually has a full five catties of tea in his hand!
Where did he get so much money and where did he buy so much tea?
And not only tea, but also glass products have several sets.
Glass products are still sky-high luxuries, and Liu Biao has several sets at home.
But he is a dignified Jingzhou assassin history, you Cai Mao is a general of the navy, so you have so much money to buy these luxury goods?
The most direct evidence is a few letters found in Cai Mao's home.
These letters were basically written by Jia Xu to Cai Mao.
There was even a letter written by Lu Bu to Cai Mao in it.
The princes couldn't help but pick up a few letters with dark faces and read them carefully.
Before reading these letters, Liu Biao was still skeptical about Cai Mao's rebellion, and even how to believe it.
But after reading these letters, Liu Biao's mentality also changed.
It turns out that a person is going to become.
It turns out that the so-called loyalty is just because there are not enough chips for betrayal!
From several letters written by Jia Xu to Cai Mao, it can be vaguely inferred that Cai Mao is very ambitious.
But Jingzhou does not provide him with a platform to show.
Therefore, for Jingzhou and Liu Biao, Cai Mao has many complaints.
Then Jia Xu promised that if Cai Mao cooperated with the outside world and helped LΓΌ Bu take Jingzhou, LΓΌ Bu would hand over the entire Jingzhou to Cai Mao to take care of, and reward Cai Mao with half of the land on the north bank of Jingzhou.
In order to dispel Cai Mao's concerns, Lu Bu did not hesitate to write a letter in person and admit the matter in person.
With Lu Bu's handwritten letter, this matter is simply a sure thing!
After reading the letter, Liu Biao almost vomited blood in anger.
Liu Biao had a gloomy face, called his cronies, took out the tokens, and asked them to hand them over to Cai Mao in person, so that Cai Mao would come to the Assassin's Mansion immediately, there was an urgent military situation.
The reason why he didn't send his own soldiers to arrest Cai Mao directly was because Liu Biao was afraid that Cai Mao would be forced into a hurry, and Cai Mao would directly lead the troops to rebel.
Now Liu Biao didn't know how many soldiers Cai Mao had rebelled against, so he didn't dare to take this risk.
Two hours later, Cai Mao led a hundred personal guards into Jingzhou City.
β¦β¦
"Lord, my subordinates are busy training the navy, I don't know what the lord has to call his subordinates to come over?"
Cai Mao was really a little confused, he was busy training the navy, and he was summoned by Liu Biao in a daze, saying that there was an emergency military situation.
Could it be that Jiangdong took the initiative to attack and was going to start a war with Jiangdong?
However, there are not many naval troops in Jiangdong, and if they take the initiative to attack, they will inevitably suffer heavy damage, how can Jiangdong do this?
Besides, if Jiangdong really attacked, he wouldn't know it!
I really don't know what happened when the lord called him.
Looking at Cai Mao under the tent, Liu Biao suddenly became angry in his heart.
Liu Biao shouted: "Come on, take down this thing for me!" β
With Liu Biao's order, several pro-soldiers under the tent quickly stepped forward and took Cai Mao down.
After being arrested, Cai Mao couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and couldn't help asking, "Lord, I don't know what mistakes my subordinates made?" Why did the lord arrest his subordinates? β
Cai Mao snorted coldly: "What did you do wrong?" Don't you know it yourself? If this assassin doesn't take you now, I'm afraid that in a few days, the opportunity will be seized by you, a thing that eats inside and out, and is dedicated to Lu Bu, right? β
Hearing Liu Biao's words, Cai Mao couldn't help but be shocked and said, "What is the lord talking about?" The subordinates don't understand it at all, and please make it clear to the lord! β
Before Cai Mao could speak, suddenly Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu walked out from behind the tent.
Yuan Shao directly threw a stack of letters at Cai Mao's feet, and said sharply: "There are several dog things that eat inside and out, and they don't cry when they don't see the coffin, right?" Open your dog's eyes and take a good look, this good thing has already happened! β
What Epistles?
What incriminating evidence?
What happened to the East Window?
Cai Mao broke free from the guard's hands, bent down to pick up the letter under his feet, and read it one by one.
After reading it all, Cai Mao's eyes widened, her hair stood up, and she shouted: "Lord, lord, this is the enemy deliberately framing me!" I'm innocent! β
"Lord, this is the enemy's counter-plot! Please be clear, please be clear! β
Hearing Cai Mao's plea for mercy, Liu Biao was silent.
Cao Cao said angrily: "This kind of repeated villain who harbors evil intentions, he must be spared, and he will not be pulled down and cut!" β
Hearing Cao Cao's order, several pro-soldiers couldn't help but set up Cai Mao and dragged him down.
Cai Mao was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother-in-law save me, I was wronged, brother-in-law save me, brother-in-law save me!" β
Cai Mao's third sister is Liu Biao's concubine and is very favored by Liu Biao.
And the Cai family is also one of the families in Jingzhou, Liu Biao really doesn't want to kill Cai Mao.
Hearing Cai Mao's plea for mercy, Liu Biao couldn't help but say: "Why don't you detain Cai Mao first, and then make a decision after fighting Jiangdong!" β
Cao Cao said angrily: "What do you want him to do with such a traitor? Kill with a sword, simply sharp! β
At that moment, Cao Cao couldn't help but say, he directly drew his sword, walked quickly to Cai Mao's side, and went down with a sword, stabbing Cai Mao through the heart, and he couldn't live.
Seeing this scene, Liu Biao couldn't help but sigh.
β¦β¦
After Cai Mao's death, the naval training of the princes' coalition army came to a standstill for a while.
Among Liu Biao's naval commanders, the two highest are Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
Then Zhang Yun was stabbed to death, and Cai Mao was killed for rebellion.
The rest of the commanders of the navy army are either too poor.
Either because after Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were killed, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and he didn't have the heart to train the navy with all his might.
Therefore, the progress in the training of the navy army is very slow.
Faced with this scene, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Cao Cao couldn't help frowning.
Yuan Shu, on the other hand, didn't have much of an opinion on this.
Yuan Shu now owns the land of the four counties, especially the newly acquired Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, which have been very busy recently.
Because Lujiang County and Jiujiang County do not have people, they need a large number of people.
Recently, Yuan Shu has been busy mobilizing a large number of people from the Yuan family to these two counties.
The Yuan family had always focused on supporting Yuan Shao, but now that Yuan Shu's power has gradually grown and grown, it has gradually changed its focus to Yuan Shu.
How does this not make Yuan Shu's heart bloom?
Therefore, recently, Yuan Shu's focus has been on the development of Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.
Regarding the progress of the alliance of princes, Yuan Shu had little to do with it.
In fact, in Yuan Shu's opinion, even if he can't defeat the four counties of Jiangdong, it doesn't matter much.
Anyway, Lu Bu was already scared, and now, he has become the most powerful prince!
