Although Cai Mao is named the governor of the Jingzhou Navy Army, others don't know that every time Cai Mao is promoted to become wealthy, there is a sister behind to guide him, teaching him what to do, what to say, when to do, when to say, Cai Mao's own qualifications are mediocre, if not, it is impossible to stabilize the head of the Jingbei clan such as the Kuai family and the Ma family for several years, not only the commander-in-chief of the water army, but also most of the military power of the infantry army is also in the hands of the Cai family.

And over the years, Cai Mao has gradually developed a dependency mentality, and whenever she is undecided, she comes to consult this second sister.

Cai Mao bowed down and said: "My brother came here to inform my sister of three things, did my sister hear that the lord is going to use that Xu Shu to lead the Jingzhou infantry army?" ”

"I heard that, let the lord let him lead it, and when he retreats from the Sichuan army, can he really take away the military power of my Cai clan."

"Naturally not, my Cai clan has already completely controlled the Jingzhou army, not to mention that there is a sister in charge, which can be shaken by Xu Shu, a new investor, but." When Cai Mao said this, anger appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's just that Xu Shu is too ignorant, and the commander-in-chief is especially not satisfied, not only to pull my Jingzhou naval army to the land to fight the Sichuan army, but also to ask the lord to personally sit in the army, the lord is nearly sixty years old, and he has a hidden disease, if there are three long and two short, can he Xu Shu afford it?" ”

"Hmph." Cai Shi smiled lightly at the bronze mirror, shook his head, and said slowly: "Brother, you are also confused, now that the Sichuan army is pressing, the soldiers and horses in Jingbei have been defeated by Liu Qi again, Xu Shu does not use the army, where can the army be used?" You just let him be transferred, otherwise, Jingbei will be broken by the Yizhou butcher, how can you and I have a good end? Don't forget, you and I are both wealthy families, which one of the wealthy families Liu Zhang has killed is comparable to my Cai family? ”

"Yes, yes." Cai Mao was busy admitting, in fact, Cai Mao thought in his heart, resented, hated, it is precisely this, this Liu Zhang is not good at what to do, he wants to kill the world, if Liu Zhang does not have this problem, Jingnan is defeated, Cai Mao may lead the Jingzhou Navy to surrender, and he can also run for a good future under the master of Shu.

"And that Xu Shu wants the lord to personally sit in the front army, if the lord agrees, you will let him go, fooling and what." Cai Shi smiled when he said this, with contempt and evil, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Now that Liu Qi is dead, if the lord has something three long and two short, that is, Cong'er will succeed to the throne, it will also save us trouble, and Liu Biao's death just fell on Xu Shu's head, Xu Shu still has three points of talent, and when he retreats from the Sichuan army, we just use this to force him to return the military power, why not." ”

"Oops." Cai Mao patted her head, didn't care about the cold-bloodedness in Cai's words, and exclaimed: "Sister, you are really a god, I was anxious about these two things just now, and now when I hear my sister say this, I suddenly become enlightened, if my sister is not a woman, she must be my Jingzhou military advisor, thousands of times stronger than that Xu Shu." ”

"What about women, can't women plan big things? Say, what is one more thing. After Cai's makeup was finished, he moved his clothes, stood up from the seat, and without looking at Cai Mao, Qinglian Man stepped under the bookshelf, took out a roll of bamboo slips "Sima Fa", and put it on the desk to look intently.

"There is another thing is a trivial matter, the daughter of the eldest brother-in-law's family is going to get married, I heard that it is Zhuge Liang who is married to Longzhong, I originally thought that if this niece marries, my uncle should give a heavy gift, but Zhuge Liang is too shabby, he is really a village husband, and I don't know how my brother-in-law and niece like it, so I came to ask my sister, whether to give a car of dowry, or a few taels of gold."

"Oh?" Cai's raised his head, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and he said seriously: "This is a big deal, brother, you remember, no matter how beautiful we are now, don't forget that we are from the Cai family, the relationship within the family must be repaired, and when the niece is married, we should come to the door to congratulate in person, and we must not lose the courtesy, so that the family thinks that we have forgotten our roots." ”

"Yes." Cai Mao hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"And that Zhuge Liang, although he lives in Longzhong, ploughing the wilderness, but he is from the Zhuge family, don't look at Zhuge Liang's poverty and shabby, the branches and leaves of the Zhuge family are very widespread, I am afraid that it is much bigger than our Cai family, Zhuge Ci, the head of the Zhuge family, is not an idle person, there must be a way to survive in troubled times, we must not offend the Zhuge family, niece, this in-law, I think it will be over."

"How much is the bride price?"

"One thousand taels of gold, three hundred carts of bride price."

"So much?" Cai Mao opened her mouth wide, although the Cai family is wealthy, but giving away so many things at once is similar to cutting meat.

"This is just your gift money, I have prepared a gift for my smart niece, and it will be in her liking to give it to her when the time comes, brother, you have to be careful in the future, don't look at people on the surface, look at their wealth and poverty, you have to see a person to the bottom, understand?"

"Understood, understood, my brother must remember." Cai Mao nodded busily, but she didn't understand anything at all.

"Let's go down." Cai Shi said lightly, focusing on the bamboo slips, and without looking at Cai Mao, Cai Mao bowed and withdrew from the attic, until the sound slowly disappeared, Cai raised his head, his eyes were deep, like a pool of still water hidden in the dark.

"Husband, you are aging too fast, and you have lost the ambition of the year, so so many talented and talented people in Jingxiang refuse to belong to you, and I can only live in this lonely attic every day, if you are twenty years younger, I am afraid that the world will be different."

Cai sighed softly: "Okay, you can't be a minister outside, you can't have a wife inside, I just hope that I can escape the catastrophe of the Yizhou butcher with you, and then help Liu Cong to your position, and you will have no meaning in living." ”

Cai's indifferent expression revealed a hint of ruthlessness.

…………

Banner hunting, 70,000 Sichuan troops stretched for more than ten miles, successively marching towards Xiangyang, along the way counties and townships, the city guards fled, surrendered, the Sichuan army all the way unimpeded, Liu Zhang and Fa Zheng were driving in the car to analyze the Jingbei battle situation.

Fa Zheng pointed to the map to explain, Liu Zhang pinched his fist with one hand to support his cheek, knocked his fingers on the small case with the other hand, and fell asleep in the swaying of the car.

"Report." A soldier flew over and said on the horse: "Report to the lord, Jingnan Fan Lixiang led the three counties to surrender." ”

"What's that?" Liu Zhang lifted his spirit slightly, lifted the curtain, squinted his eyes and said, "Tell me about the specific situation." ”

"Yes." The soldier urged the horse to follow the car slowly, and said: "Jingnan Fan Lixiang has 30,000 troops, killed more than 1,000 people of the Han and Chen clans of Changsha in Changsha, and issued a message to the lord, and the people cheered. ”

"Huh." Liu Zhang smiled and waved his hand to the soldier, the soldier beat his horse away, lowered the curtain, and Liu Zhang smiled at Fa Zheng: "This is a little interesting." ”
