At this moment, Cai Mao is in such a state of mind, and she can't help but think of marrying her daughter to Liu Xun. After all, Liu Biao is old, and he can't last a few years, if one day Liu Xun becomes big and sends troops from Jiangdong to capture Jingzhou. If he is his father-in-law, he will naturally have a good future.

Just like he was optimistic about Liu Biao before, he first sent his sister to him to form a family. Now I can thrive in Jingzhou, so this kind of return on investment is too high.

"Liu Xun is such an outstanding prince, if he misses it, he will definitely regret it when the time comes." Cai Mao's eyes flashed, and she had already made up her mind in her heart.

However, at this moment, another servant reported outside the door: "Master, Lord Governor asks Master to go to the General's Mansion immediately to discuss matters." ”

is in such a hurry to summon him, for something, it is naturally self-evident, it must be for Liu Xun's business. Cai Mao thought in his heart, but his face was calm and natural, and he ordered: "Prepare the carriage immediately, I'll be there later." ”

Liu Biao summoned Cai Mao naturally couldn't delay, so Cai Mao quickly cleaned up his mood, wiped the corners of his mouth with a square towel on the case, tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the hall with his legs raised.

Subsequently, take a carriage all the way to the Zhennan General's Mansion, because of the proximity, Cai Mao soon arrived outside the main gate of the General's Mansion, when Cai Mao arrived, Kuai Yue, known as the first wise man in Jingzhou, had just arrived.

Cai Mao looked at Kuai Yue not far away, his expression was calm, his body was straight, and he seemed to be no different from usual. But Cai Mao still saw the residual shock on Kuai Yue's face.

Cai Mao couldn't help but laugh secretly, "It is estimated that Kuai Yue never thought that Liu Xun would be able to ambush Sun Ce and take the second county of Jiangdong one after another, and his power has expanded dramatically at this moment." Presumably, you, the smartest person in Jingzhou, are thinking about it today because of this, right? Hahaha"

Kuai Yue naturally saw Cai Mao too, his eyes flashed, and he nodded at him expressionlessly. Cai Mao understood, and the two walked side by side towards Liu Biao's general's mansion.

The two looked at each other as they went, and they both saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes. Cai Mao couldn't help but take the lead in whispering. "This Liu Xun has not been seen for a few days, it is strange that I have never seen that this person can be so forbearing. In the impression of everyone, he has always been a profit-seeking, money-hungry and lustful person. It's hard to imagine that he made such a big move in such a short period of time. ”

Kuai Yue nodded very calmly, and said softly: "I'm also surprised, how this person has changed so much. even killed Sun Bofu, who was comparable to the overlord. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

The two whispered and soon came to Liu Biao's study.

Inside the study

Liu Biao's expression was very exciting, seemingly unbelievable, seemingly relaxed, and a little hesitant. It seems that he has a headache about how to deal with his relationship with Liu Xun. Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, who entered the study before and after, felt like a mirror in their hearts.

Hearing the footsteps, Liu Biao naturally knew that Cai Mao and the others had arrived, and motioned for the two to sit down.

When Cai Mao and the two sat down, Liu Biao said in a deep voice. "Liu Xun made such a big move in Jiangdong, I think you all know about it."

"Back to my lord, we just received the news, and we rushed to you." Cai Mao and the others nodded.

"What this man did was really beyond my expectations." Kuai Yue followed closely.

The expression on Liu Biao's face gradually became serious when he heard this. "At the beginning, I thought that he would definitely not be able to hold on under Sun Ce's attack. I thought what I would do if he was defeated by Sun Ce, and I even thought about whether I should send troops to help him, after all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. After thinking about it, he changed his mind and wanted Liu Xun to consume Sun Ce's troops and save Liu Xun at the last moment. I never thought I would be where I am today. This Liu Xun is simply not like the person I know, and it is incredible that he can defeat Sun Ce at his level. ”

What Liu Biao said was very true, he really wanted to take advantage of Sun Ce and Liu Xun to fight to the death and consume Sun Ce's power. When Liu Xun can't do it, he is helping him, and if he is lucky, he may take Lujiang County. After all, Sun Ce and him have a grudge against his father, and in recent years, Sun Ce has been invincible in the southern and northern wars, brave and invincible, not under his father Sun Jian, and almost invincible between Jing Yang. Liu Biao watched Sun Ce's power grow step by step every day, and his heart was naturally terrified. But the dramatic thing is that the villain Liu Xun, who is not favored by others, suddenly became powerful, ambushed Sun Ce, and even sent troops one after another to take the second county of Yuzhang Moling, and his strength skyrocketed.

Now that Liu Xun's power is so strong, if he continues to wave his army to the south after the naval army is trained, he will be able to take Sun Quan at that time. If this defeats the entire Jiangdong, the power will only be higher than him at that time. I'm afraid it will become a scourge of Jingzhou in the future.

In this regard, Liu Biao is not stupid, how can he not be on guard, although with Sun Ce's death, his heart is much more relaxed, after all, Sun Ce is really too fierce, and the key is to kill his father with him.

But Liu Biao also knew that this time was not yet the time to feel at ease, after all, although Liu Xun had no enmity with him, who could guarantee that he would not attack him in the future. It's better to discuss with Cai Mao and Kuai Yue how to guard against Liu Xun.

"Now, Liu Xun has become bigger, and our situation is not much better, the four counties of Jingnan are unstable, and it is basically unrealistic to send troops to attack Liu Xun in such a state, so the only way to make friends with him is to befriend him. But we must also guard against Liu Xun biting us. I think so, I don't know what you think? Liu Biao sighed and said.

At this time, Cai Mao's heart was of course towards his future son-in-law Liu Xun, and he couldn't help but say. "Lord, what you said is very reasonable, now the undercurrent in Jingzhou is surging, and Zhang Xian, the Taishou of Changsha, is even more self-respecting, and Cao Cao is secretly married, and the intention of rebellion is very obvious. As the saying goes, if you really want to send troops, you should be the first to take the four counties of Jingnan. And Liu Xun has no direct contradiction with us for the time being, so we don't have to provoke him. In case Liu Xun is angry and forms an alliance with Zhang Xian, we will be in trouble. I heard that Liu Xun was short of food, so it was better to send some heavy grain and grass over to show his friendship. When the time comes, it will be too late to see how Liu Xun's reaction is made. ”

Cai Mao had a preconceived idea, with such a huge family and his power in Jingzhou, as long as Liu Xun was not stupid, he didn't realize that Liu Xun would refuse to marry him.
