Early the next morning, Lu Meng woke up. Lu Meng was lying on the bed, his chest was wrapped in a white cloth, and the wound had been completely bandaged. As soon as his body moved, he immediately touched the wound of the injury, and he grinned in pain.

"Hiss"

Lu Meng gasped twice and looked at the current situation.

He was in the house

Liu Xiu did not put him in prison or kill him.

When Lu Meng woke up, the soldiers in the house immediately found out. The soldier hurriedly opened the door to report, and then the soldier standing at the door also quickly went to inform Liu Xiu.

Soon, Deng Ai pushed Liu Xiu into the room.

Liu Xiu sat down, looked at Lu Meng who was lying on the bed, and said, "Captain Lu, how do you feel?"

Lu Meng snorted and replied, "I can't die yet." ”

Liu Xiu said: "It's best if you can't die, otherwise I won't save you in vain?"

Lu Meng had a disdainful expression and said, "Liu Xiu, if you want to save my life to make me surrender, you don't have to. I, Lu Mengsheng, am a Jiangdong person, and I am a Jiangdong ghost when I die, and it is impossible for me to surrender. In this life and this world, there is only one person who is loyal to the lord. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Let's not talk about the surrender, let's talk about the people who came to Xiangyang this time." Apart from you, who else has come to Xiangyang?"

Lu Meng didn't hesitate and said, "The people who came to Xiangyang this time, except for me, there are no other people. Do you believe me when I say this?"

"Believe"

Liu Xiu did not hesitate, and nodded directly.

Wenpin asked people to conduct a big search, and a lot of people from all walks of life were arrested, but there were very few people in Jiangdong.

Lu Meng sneered and stopped talking.

Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "During your time in Xiangyang, what things you did and who you had contact with will be clear one by one. Since yesterday, some of the Jiangdong soldiers you brought have been caught. If you explain it all, I can spare their lives, or even let them go. If they don't confess, they can only stay in Xiangyang forever. ”

Lu Meng said: "What I came to Xiangyang to do, can't I guess what Gongzi Xiu did?"

Liu Xiu: "I don't want to guess"

Lu Meng snorted, very unhappy with Liu Xiu's posture, but he wanted to think about the soldiers, so he said directly: "After I arrived in Xiangyang, at first I sent someone to deliberately assassinate you, which was the first thing, and then, sent someone to spread the news that you have ambitions, and spread the idea that you want to compete with Liu Cong and Liu Qi for Jingzhou." Then, send someone to spread the news that you are resentful of Liu Biao. ”

Lu Meng shrugged his shoulders and said, "In general, that's all there is to it. ”

Liu Xiu said: "What else have you done?" in his tone, there was an undoubted rejection.

Lu Meng said slowly: "During my time in Xiangyang, I also met someone. ”

"Who"

Liu Xiu's eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Lu Meng laughed and said loudly, "Why should I tell you?"

If you can see Liu Xiu eating deflated, it is also a good thing. It's a pity that Liu Xiu's eyes were calm, and he didn't show the slightest anger at all, and his expression was as calm as ever.

Lu Meng didn't achieve his goal, his eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Aren't you curious, this person is very important." ”

Liu Xiudao: "It's Cai Mao."

Lu Meng's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but he didn't expect Liu Xiu to know. Liu Xiu observed his words and looks, and when he saw Lu Meng's expression, he was sure that the person Lu Meng saw was indeed Cai Mao.

Liu Xiu had a rough conclusion in his heart, and he wanted to confirm it again, so he said: "Do you know what happened in the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion the night before the big search in Xiangyang, I think, you should have sent someone to investigate, but you didn't find it." ”

Lu Meng nodded, a curious look on his face.

In fact, it was the evening of the same day that Liu Xiu reversed the situation and gained Liu Biao's trust. But what exactly happened, what made Liu Biao change his mind, this is what Lu Meng is most curious about.

Liu Xiu explained: "That night, Cai Mao and the Cai family framed me, and I finally reversed the situation. In the end, Cai Mao lost his father's trust, and Cai was also grounded by his father. And I, again, have the trust of my father. Taking the opportunity, I suggested to my father that the order to enter and not leave Xiangyang City should be implemented, and then a thorough investigation began. I didn't expect that this was just the beginning, and you were caught. ”

When Lu Meng heard this, he suddenly realized.

It turned out that Cai Mao was defeated, causing his plan to fall short.

hateful

Cai Mao, a guy who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures

Liu Xiu continued: "What I want to know now is what you and Cai Mao discussed, you can say it now." "For Cai Mao and the Cai family, Liu Xiu is no longer willing to wait and wants to bring down the Cai family in one fell swoop.

This time, Lu Meng was interrogated and found out that Cai Mao colluded with Jiangdong.

In this way, the Cai family will definitely be hit hard.

Lu Meng wanted to confess Cai Mao, and with the energy of the Cai family, he would not easily let Cai Mao comply. However, once the Cai family resisted, it would inevitably lead to infighting in Jingzhou, which would also be of great benefit to the situation at the front.

Lu Meng quickly made a decision, and said in a deep voice: "When Gongzi Xiu saw Cai's family, she should have drugged the wine, and planned to trap Gongzi Xiu." However, such methods have failed, and Xiu Gongzi is a good method. ”

Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "This is your suggestion to Cai Mao"

"Right"

Lu Meng laughed, very proud.

He stared at Liu Xiu and said slowly: "Master Xiu is both civil and military, and his wit is outstanding. It's very difficult to bring you down by intrigue and trickery. So there is only lust-seduction, and this is the only chance. As long as you drink alcohol, you will inevitably want to burn your body. When the time comes, Liu Biao will find out and will definitely take you down. ”

Lu Meng's eyes showed a trace of regret, and he said, "Once you are taken, I will spread the news to the front line and cause the people under your command to rebel." It further caused internal strife in Jingzhou. It's a pity that I didn't expect you to be able to turn the situation around in such a situation."

After Liu Xiu listened, he laughed in his heart.

Cai Mao, Cai Mao

This time, see how you escaped from the palm of my hand.

With Lu Meng, it was much easier for Liu Xiu to deal with the Cai family and Cai Mao.

Before Cai Mao framed Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu took the initiative to suggest to Liu Biao that the matter be made small and avoid leakage. But now, Liu Xiu has caught enough evidence, especially Cai Mao's collusion with Jiangdong's people to frame Liu Xiu, this is different again, and the nature is different.

Lu Meng said in a deep voice: "I'm curious, how did Gongzi Xiu crack the plan I set According to the strategic arrangement, as long as you see the Cai family, you will jump into the Yellow River and you can't wash it." ”

Liu Xiu briefly talked about the situation at the time, talked about the operation of turning the tables and reversing the tables, and then said: "Actually, it is a very simple thing, not complicated. ”

Lu Meng looked at Liu Xiu, and his heart was even more shocked.

Self-harm

Liu Xiu shocked Liu Biao by self-harm and forcibly calmed Liu Biao.

Liu Xiu is really a ruthless and decisive person. Such a method is indeed extraordinary. In other words, Lu Meng encountered the situation at that time, and it was impossible to do it so well.

Liu Xiu's face was serious, and he said, "You take care of your injuries, and when your injuries have recovered, you will talk about other things." ”

Lu Meng laughed and said, "Master Xiu, it is impossible to make me obedient. I have already said that in my life, I only recognize Jiangdong Sun Quan, and the rest of the people do not recognize it. ”

"We'll see"

Liu Xiu left the room and let Deng Ai push him back to the room.

Immediately, Liu Xiu sent someone to hire Kuai Liang and Wen into the room.

The three of them have already learned that they have caught the people sent by Jiangdong, but they are still searching for them, because in the process of searching, some other spies have also been caught.

Liu Xiu's face was serious, and he said with a straight face: "The three of us were invited here because after reviewing Lu Meng's case, it involved a very important matter. We'll discuss this first, and then we'll tell my father. ”

Yi said: "Xiu Gongzi, please say"

Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Aren't you curious about what happened in the mansion before, causing me to hurt my legs, and the two wounds on my thighs were stabbed by myself." ”

"Ahh

Wen Ping looked shocked and said in surprise: "Why did Master Xiu stab himself?"

Kuai Yue and Yi also have an incredible expression.

Liu Xiu's expression was very relaxed, and he said slowly: "That night, the Cai family sent a message to let me go to her courtyard. And then a whole bunch of things happened. ”

Liu Xiu told what happened in Cai's house, and then said: "The strategy of seducing and framing was carried out by Cai Mao and Cai's conspiracy, but the specific plan was formulated by Jiangdong Lu Meng. Lu Meng found Cai Mao and informed Cai Mao of this plan, and Cai Mao implemented it. ”

Kuai Yue sighed: "Cai Mao has become more and more out of line over the years. Fortunately, Master Xiu reacted in time and was able to turn the tide. Otherwise, once you are framed, it will be very difficult to turn over. ”

Yi Ji also breathed a long sigh of relief and said slowly: "The situation at that time can be said to be extremely critical. If you don't handle it well, it's easy to fall into a situation from which you can't recover. ”

Wen Ping was murderous and scolded: "Cai Mao should be damned, Cai's is simply the most poisonous woman's heart." ”

Liu Xiu said: "This is all in the past, now we have to think about how to tell my father." The Cai family has repeatedly provoked, and now that Cai Mao has the handle of colluding with Jiangdong Lu Meng, they must bring down the Cai family in one fell swoop. ”

Kuai Yue said: "If Gongzi Xiu wants to take advantage of this opportunity to bring down the Cai family, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." After all, the Cai family's foundation in Jingzhou is not simple. The largest clan in Jingzhou is intertwined and not easy to control. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Even if you don't bring down the Cai family, you will make Cai Mao completely lose power." No matter what, the threat posed by the Cai family must be resolved, otherwise Cai Mao will continue to cause trouble in the future. What's more, as long as the Cai family falls, or the Cai family encounters a problem, the power behind the second brother will disappear completely. ”

Yi said: "Master Xiu is reasonable, this is a great opportunity now, and you can't miss it." Heaven does not take it, but suffers from it. The opportunity is in front of us and cannot be missed. ”

The four of them sat in the room, discussing.

After discussing for an hour and a half, a plan for the Cai family was finally decided. After the three left, Liu Xiu had lunch, and in the afternoon, Huang Yueying pushed him and went to Liu Biao's study.

If you want to target the Cai family, you must get Liu Biao's support.

Liu Xiu entered the study and saw Liu Biao, so he waved his hand and motioned for Huang Yueying to go out
