Coming to Cai Mao, Cao Shuo arched his hand and said, "There is General Lao Cai." ”

"Childe is too polite." Cai Mao said: "The things here should have been done, but the money has not been sent yet, Jingsheng Gong urged me to give the money to Gongzi at night, and ask again, when does Gongzi plan to go back?" ”

"Jingzhou has good mountains and good water, I am reluctant to leave." Cao Shuo grinned.

As soon as he said this, Cai Mao's face suddenly turned like ashes.

Seeing that Cai Mao was not lightly frightened, Cao Shuo gently patted him on the shoulder: "General Cai, don't worry, although Jingzhou is good, this is not my home after all." Tell Jing Shenggong that I will go back early tomorrow morning. ”

He turned his head to Guo Jia and Tian Feng and asked, "Guo Gong, Tian Gong, have you finished counting?" ”

"Not yet." Guo Jia replied: "But it doesn't look like it will be less." ”

"It doesn't look like it." Cao Shuo said: "Let them count quickly, if it is not bad, we will start the class early tomorrow morning." ”

Guo Jia and Tian Feng responded, urging the soldiers who counted the copper coins to speed up.

Cao Shuo said to Cai Mao again: "Please also ask General Cai to wait here, if the number is not bad, our army will withdraw." But don't forget one thing, General. ”

"Childe is talking about ......," Cai Mao asked.

"I promised the general that I would definitely do it, but the premise is that Jingzhou helped me take Liu Xuande's head." Cao Shuo lowered his voice and said, "This money is just compensation for the army, and my conditions still have to be met." ”

"How long does Childe give us?" Cai Mao asked.

"How long do you think it will take?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It will take months to storm Xinye, and it may not be able to succeed." Cai Mao said: "We must give Liu Xuande's head to Gongzi, and please don't give us a definite deadline." ”

Looking at Cai Mao, the corners of Cao Shuo's mouth twitched slightly: "General Cai means to take Liu Xuande's head, let alone three or five years?" ”

"It won't take that long, but it won't be too fast." Cai Mao replied: "I will do my best, and please be tolerant." ”

"Okay!" Cao Shuo said generously: "Since General Cai has agreed, then I will be more tolerant and take Liu Xuande's head and send it to Shouchun within two years, otherwise it will ......."

The smile was even more strange, and Cao Shuo said to Cai Mao: "The general should know what the consequences are. ”

"I know!" Cai Mao hurriedly responded: "Son, just rest assured, I will definitely send Liu Xuande's head to Shouchun within two years." ”

Cao Shuo gave him two years, and Cai Mao was still relieved in her heart.

A lot can happen in two years.

The Cao family is getting stronger and stronger, but Liu Bei is in Jingzhou, as long as he is suppressed, it is impossible for him to develop and grow.

As long as Liu Bei is getting weaker and weaker, it is not particularly difficult to get his head.

500,000 is too much.

Although many soldiers were counting, it was still almost dawn when the copper coins were counted.

Guo Jia and Tian Feng came to Cao Shuo.

After saluting, Guo Jia said: "Son, the count has been completed, 500,000 copper coins, no more, no less." ”

"Not even a copper coin?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Yes." Guo Jia replied: "It's exactly 500,000 hangs, not even a copper coin." ”

"I really admire Jing Shenggong's courage." Cao Shuo grinned at Cai Mao: "500,000 hanging copper coins is just not much." He is not afraid that if he loses three or five copper coins, I will not withdraw from the army? ”

"Jingsheng Gong is not thoughtful enough to do things." Cai Mao hurriedly responded: "It's still there......

"Pass the order, let the soldiers have a good rest in the morning, and we will be in class this afternoon." Cao Shuo said to Guo Jia and Tian Feng.

The two of them answered, and each went to the army to convey the order.

Cao Jun stayed outside the city of Xiangyang for another morning, and in the afternoon, Liu Biao took the Jingzhou officials and Madame Cai to the city wall.

Cao's army outside the city has begun to withdraw.

The tents in the barracks have been dismantled, and only a few campfires have been extinguished.

Looking at the withdrawn Cao Jun, Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Husband is relieved?" Mrs. Cai asked.

Glancing at her, Liu Biao said: "Now I am really relieved, Cao Zirong retreated, and Jingzhou can be regarded as stable." ”

"The matter was provoked by Liu Xuande." Mrs. Cai said: "Husband didn't plan to let him bear something? ”

"Liu Xuande is shrinking in Xinye, Cao Jun is leaving, I am holding a grudge, let him come to Xiangyang, he will definitely refuse." Liu Biao said: "What else can I let him bear." ”

"Liu Xuande is like a plague." Mrs. Cai said: "Husband, think about it, where has he been in the past, which place has a good end? ”

Glancing at Mrs. Cai again, the expression on Liu Biao's face became more and more strange.

When Liu Bei came to Jingzhou, he said that he was going to serve the Sun family in Jiangdong.

Thinking that he was surrounded by fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who might not be able to use them in the future, Liu Biaocai tried his best to leave him behind.

didn't expect Liu Bei to cause such a big trouble......

What's more, he borrowed 20,000 soldiers and horses from Jingzhou, and now he hasn't even returned a single soldier.

"If he is not such a person, why does Cao Zirong want to kill him?" Mrs. Cai said: "My husband is in charge of Jingzhou, and I have to think more about Jingzhou." ”

"That's what Madame said." Liu Biao said: "In the past, I was wrong, and in a few days I will let people expel Liu Xuande......

"I'm afraid it's easy to invite him and it's hard to send him." Mrs. Cai said: "He is stationed in Xinye, and the husband wants to take back Xinye, with Liu Xuande's character, how can he easily return Xinye?" ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Liu Biao said: "No matter what, I will let people go to expel me." ”

He instructed Kuai Liang on the side: "You go to Xinye ......"

Before Kuai Liang could respond, Mrs. Cai said: "Husband, you must not expel Liu Xuande. ”

"Why?" Liu Biao asked in surprise.

Mrs. Cai said: "Could it be that the husband has forgotten what Cao Zirong's conditions are? ”

Speaking of Cao Shuo's conditions, Liu Biao let out a long sigh.

Although Liu Bei is in Jingzhou, how can it be easy to kill him and send his head to Cao Shuo?

"This matter will be done sooner or later, what are the plans of the husband?" Mrs. Cai asked.

"What else can I do?" Liu Biao said: "I'm very upset now......"

"Just being irritable won't solve anything." Mrs. Cai said: "The matter has come out, and we have to find a way to do it." ”

Looking at the Cao army that was withdrawing outside the city, Liu Biao's mood was even more complicated.

Compared with Liu Biao, who was in a heavy mood, Cao Shuo was relaxed at this time.

Together with Guo Jia, he led the army out of Xiangyang, Cao Shuo marched northeastward, and Guo Jia went all the way north, parting ways not far from Xiangyang.
