There were some things that Liu Bei hadn't finished talking about just now, so he tried to get Liu Qi to leave, and then he said it completely.
And his guess about Liu Biao showed that Liu Biao was digging a hole, waiting for him to jump in, and then see what Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and Chen Gong thought.
"It's indeed a trap."
Chen Gong spoke first and said unhurriedly: "If I am not wrong, Liu Jingzhou has become suspicious of the lord. He is worried that after he is gone, neither Liu Qi nor Liu Cong will be the opponent of the lord. In this way The purpose of doing this is to test. If the lord wants to get Jingzhou, we may not survive tonight. Fortunately, the lord repeatedly refused, which made Liu Jingzhou feel that the lord just wanted to assist him."
These are exactly what Liu Bei was thinking, and he nodded in agreement when he heard this.
Xu Shu echoed: "Liu Jingzhou does not completely trust the lord. Even if the lord has no intention of Jingzhou, he will definitely not make it easy for the lord in the future!"
Now that everyone is suspicious, Liu Biao will definitely not trust Liu Bei anymore.
Even if Liu Bei was willing to assist Liu Qi or Liu Cong, he would not be trusted.
"My lord, you have gained too much support from the people before, and the reputation you have gained is too high."
Xu Shu said again.
They alone can't do this, but Cao Cao's people are behind it, but they still don't know that there is a pusher helping them win the hearts and minds of the people.
"Then what do we do?"
Liu Bei frowned.
Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Has my lord forgotten the purpose of our coming to Xiangyang? Liu Jingzhou's suspicion can be ignored. If I am not wrong, my lord's conversation with Liu Jingzhou today will definitely spread..." "
After a pause, he continued: "As long as word spreads, Cai Mao will definitely be more anxious than the lord, so he will do something to regain the advantage. Don't worry about this, we can just use the trick and wait and see what happens."
Zhuge Liang was confident in his plan.
Liu Bei said assuredly: "Fortunately, Kong Ming is here!"
Next, they don't have to do anything.
Waiting for Cai Mao to act can change this situation.
As long as everything is pushed to Cai Mao, and with their strong methods, Xiangyang will change hands, and it will only take one night at most.
"in addition……"
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on Cai Mao, and we can wait with peace of mind."
"I'll make arrangements!"
Liu Bei said.
With Zhuge Liang here, their plan couldn't go any smoother.
——
Mrs. Cai immediately called Cai Hao and told Cai Hao everything she had just eavesdropped on.
However, Cai Mao and Mrs. Cai's thoughts were not as complicated as Liu Bei's. When eavesdropping, Mrs. Cai could not see the expressions of Liu Bei and Liu Biao. There was only one feeling that Liu Biao really wanted to give Jingzhou to Liu Bei. Feel.
This gave them a strong sense of crisis.
"That damn big-eared thief!"
Cai Mao's face was full of anger, and he snorted: "I said, this person cannot be kept, but last time, the envoy kept stopping me from killing him, damn it!"
Mrs. Cai gritted her teeth and said, "Liu Biao is also a ruthless person. He would rather give Jingzhou to outsiders than leave it to his own son. How can he be so cold and heartless?"
Even if it is given to Liu Qi, it is much better for Madam Cai and others than giving it to Liu Bei.
It would be easy for them to snatch it from Liu Qi, but they would definitely not be able to snatch it from Liu Bei. They all knew what kind of person Liu Bei was.
"We can't sit still and wait for death. We must do something to kill Liu Bei in advance."
Cai Mao's eyes turned sinister, and he continued: "This time, I will push Liu Bei and Liu Qi to a point of no return, and make them all scream and beat up. Isn't Liu Da'er unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness? I will make his benevolence and righteousness fall to the ground. ,snort!"
"Degui, what can I do?"
Mrs. Cai asked.
Cai Mao said: "Liu Bei is in Xiangyang. As long as he is not allowed to leave, he will be at our mercy. I plan to do this..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Cai was afraid and said, "If this happens, isn't Liu Biao going to die?"
Cai Mao said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if you use ruthless means when necessary. Anyway, with Liu Biao's illness reaching this level, he will definitely die! At that time, our Cai family married you to Liu Biao just to seek benefits. Now, now , the benefits should be maximized."
The marriage between Mrs. Cai and Liu Biao was a commercial marriage.
To put it simply, it is a marriage, each getting what he needs.
Liu Biao needed Cai to help him govern Jingzhou, and Cai also needed Liu Biao to develop himself.
If Jingzhou is captured by Liu Bei, it is unknown whether the Cai family can survive, let alone develop.
"good!"
Mrs. Cai thought about it and agreed decisively.
She actually doesn't have much affection for Liu Biao. They are in a business marriage, so there is no affection to talk about.
In addition, Liu Cong is not Mrs. Cai's son, and his involvement with Liu Biao is not very deep. She will not be very sad when Liu Biao dies, that's all!
Cai Mao said: "I will make arrangements. Within these few days, I will destroy Liu Bei's reputation!"
——
Cao Jun returned home in triumph and hurried on in the ice and snow, not walking very fast.
When he returned to Zhongshan, it was almost a month later. The reason why he came back here was because Chen Zhou still had a side mission to complete, which was to take away Zhen Mi. Boss Cao had already arranged for him to go with Zhen Mi. Yao made some unknown deals.
Zhen Yao needs Cao Cao's help to restore the glory of his Zhen family and return to the height of his two thousand stone official position.
Zhen Mi was among them and became an important bargaining chip in the transaction.
As a bargaining chip, Zhen Mi is quite pitiful, but women from aristocratic families in this era are basically used as bargaining chips to marry into other families, etc. Even Cao Shan is also a bargaining chip, used by Cao Cao to win over Chen Zhou, but later he It's your love and my wish, the relationship is deep!
When he returned to Wuji County, Chen Zhou shook off the snow on his cloak and asked, "Should we rest in Wuji County today and wait for the Lord's arrangements?"
"That's natural!"
Cao Peng followed Chen Zhou. As a professional pimp, he was responsible for Zhen Mi's matter. He continued: "My uncle stayed in Wuji County for two days specifically for my husband's sake. He will go to Zhen Mi tonight." Attend a banquet.”
Everything is arranged again.
"Okay, I will go to the banquet."
Chen Zhou said.
Cao Peng added: "Sir, the most important thing tonight is not the banquet."
He gave a look that you know, and it was a bit obscene.
Chen Zhou: "..."
"Anmin, I think you still need to change some things."
He was thinking that Cao Anmin couldn't go on like this. If Wancheng died, he might die next time while helping Cao Cao find another woman.
"Sir, is there anything I need to change?"
Cao Peng asked with a confused look on his face.
Chen Zhou was thinking, how should he tell Cao Peng gracefully about pimping, and then help Cao Peng change?
To put it too bluntly, I always feel a little embarrassed.
