"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place."

Cai Mao sighed secretly, in fact, the decision to turn Liu Cong into a puppet was also because Liu Cong was too young, and in today's troubled times, Cao Cao has already unified the north and may go south at any time.

Sun Quan and Liu Bei are all tigers and wolves, surrounded by enemies, don't say that Liu Cong has not shown any talent, even if he is really a talented young man, there is no time for him to grow up.

If he had known that Liu Cong could rise so quickly, how could he have made such a decision in the first place?

Honestly followed Liu Cong, with the identity of a relative, how could Liu Cong treat them badly?

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt boundless remorse like poison eroding Cai Mao's heart, and he seemed to stop breathing.

"The head of the family, the matter has come to this, it is useless to regret it, for my Cai family, make plans as soon as possible." Cai Zhong raised his head and said carefully.

"Plan early, you should plan early."

Cai Mao seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and the whole person gave people a feeling of being half-buried in the soil.

"Pass Cai He." Cai Mao said.

Cai He, a member of the Cai family, is also Cai Mao's cronies. There is no record of this person's real history, the appearance experience in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is basically the same as Cai Zhong, first followed Liu Cong to surrender to Cao Cao, and then Cai Mao's deputy general, Cai Mao went to Dongwu with Cai Zhong after his death, the only difference is that before the Battle of Chibi, he was beheaded by Zhou Yu to sacrifice the flag.

"Meet the head of the house."

After a while, Cai He arrived, knelt down and saluted.

"Cai He, you take a thousand regular soldiers, go to Wuling, and join the second son's door, from now on, you can be appointed with peace of mind, follow the instructions of the second prince in everything, and don't have any more dealings with the Cai family." Cai Mao said indifferently.

1,000 regular soldiers, looking at the entire Jingzhou is also a pivotal force, Jiangyuan City is such a heavy place, and it is only a thousand regular soldiers to be satisfied, and with the strength of the Cai family, there are only 3,000 regular soldiers in the family soldiers.

"Subordinates obey."

Cai He left, Cai Zhong looked at Cai Mao and hesitated: "Family master, has things really come to such a situation?" Although the second son is wise and decisive, with the power of my Cai family, even the assassin does not dare to ignore it, why bother? ”

Cai Mao sighed: "The world is impermanent, who would have thought that the matter of Wuling would end up like this?" Even if the battle of Jiangyuan was all a strategy, where did the strength of the second prince finally surrender to the county soldiers come from? Can only those 3,000 ordinary people defeat 4,000 ordinary soldiers? ”

"The head of the family is talking about ......," Cai Zhong exclaimed.

Cai Mao shook his head and said: "I don't know, but there must be a great secret in the second son, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, maybe this is really a real dragon." ”

"But even so, there is still a lady here, even if there is really that day, will the second prince really want to kill us?" Cai Zhong said angrily.

Cai Mao said: "With the second son's style of acting today, how can he be bound by his wife in the future?" Everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, it is better to make plans early. ”

"In that case, what is the head of the family going to do?" Cai Zhong asked.

Cai Mao's eyes flashed, and she said, "Since you have completely turned your face with the second son, it seems that you can only support the eldest son." ”

……

In the Wuling Mountains, the barbarian village is the main village.

Wu Lingman's strength is by no means idle, otherwise with the strength of the Han Court back then, he would not have suffered repeated setbacks.

In this vast Wuling Mountain Range, there are as many as 36 barbarian villages.

Each cottage owner is a third-rate barbarian general, with 500 medium barbarians and 2,000 low-class barbarians under his command, who are worshiped by tens of thousands of barbarians.

And the general village is even more remarkable, there are five third-rate barbarian generals, one hundred high-class barbarians, two thousand middle barbarians, ten thousand low-class barbarians, and hundreds of thousands of barbarians.

Among the three leaders, the second leader and the third leader are all second-rate barbarian generals, and the big leader Shamoke has reached the peak of the second-rate barbarian generals, and with the help of the unique terrain in the mountains and forests, he can even give full play to the strength of first-class generals.

On the whole, the strength of this Wulingman is slightly worse than Jingzhou, and it is not much worse.

And if you take into account the prestige of the leader, it may even be slightly better than Jingzhou, and it is no wonder that Liu Biao was unable to conquer Wulingman with the power of Jingzhou, and finally could only choose to move to the government and give up Wuling County!

"Soul is faint, damn it, the Han dog bullied me too much!"

An angry roar rang out from a cave, and the sound enveloped the stockade, and all the barbarians bowed their heads in fear, their bodies trembling slightly.

This was the voice of Shamoke, the leader of the barbarian clan, who had just received the news that Liu Cong had blown up Jiangyuan City and buried three thousand barbarian soldiers with the third-rate barbarian general Sanha.

In his opinion, this is simply unbearable!

Shamoke has always thought that he has been very polite to the Han people outside the mountains, and the barbarians have such great strength, but they have been trapped in the mountains, even if there is an occasional shortage of food, and they go out of the mountains to get food, they are only limited to Wuling County.

What are you not satisfied with?

Of course, he has selectively forgotten, if he really dares to go out of the mountains with a large army and cause trouble to the world, I am afraid that the world will immediately fight together.

Brothers are on the wall, and they are insulted outside!

Our Han people's own brothers compete for the property left by our ancestors, no matter how they fight, the barbarians dare to come and mix, really forget the sentence that offended my Han Tianwei, although it is far away, it will be punished?

However, this kind of plot of the Han people uniting and discussing foreign races will not appear unless the barbarians occupy the entire Jingzhou.

So Shamoko felt the need to teach the guy who didn't know how to live or die a lesson.

First, let people know that Wulingman is not easy to mess with, and he is not something that can be bullied by cats and dogs.

Second, I heard that the Han family was in chaos again, and it was time for him to go out of the mountain to show the strength of Wuling Barbarian and gain benefits for the barbarians.

"Order all villages, straighten out the grain and grass, gather soldiers and horses, and after a month, go out of the mountain to teach those Han dogs who don't know whether they are alive or dead!" Shamoko said coldly.

……

At a time when all parties are in turmoil, Liu Cong is also taking a crucial step in his creation of Wang Tu's hegemony.

Condense the dragon's energy!

Dragon qi is the foundation of the power of this world, and only with dragon qi can we gather the power of the people and make the emperor leader transcendent.

Only with dragon qi can the general species be generated, so that the generals under his command have the ability to control the army and gather the army.

And the dragon qi is based on the dragon, and it is necessary to inherit the king's order and unify the people to condense the true dragon.

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to actually control a place, and it has both name and power.

Therefore, although Liu Cong received an official letter from the Thorn History Mansion more than half a month ago, appointing him as the commander of Wuling County and the captain of Guoyi, it was not until today that he began to condense dragon qi.

This half a month is the time for Wuling County's large-scale reform.

At this time, all the officials, officials, and troops of Wuling County were reorganized and replaced, and the main god cult was spread throughout the county, and the three powers of the military and political gods of Wuling County were completely in the hands of Liu Cong, and his will in Wuling County was already above any will.

From this moment on, Wuling County truly belongs to him!
