Liu Biao suddenly lifted the bed curtain, looked intently, the beauty on the bed seemed to have sensed it, and slowly opened his eyes to see the person coming.
"Master? I can't be dreaming! Master? Looks like I'm sick and confused! Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui, is the medicine ready yet?" The beauty on the bed murmured to herself in a daze.
"Ahem, ahem!" Liu Biao coughed loudly as he watched Mrs. Cai who had closed her eyes again under the quilt.
When he coughed, Mrs. Cai's eyes opened again.
"Ma'am, this is not a dream, it's me!"
"Master? Is it really Master?!" Mrs. Cai was about to do it, but the pain in her body made her frown involuntarily.
"My lord, I'm not feeling well, so I can't show my respects to my lord, and I hope my lord will forgive me!" Mrs. Cai said to Liu Biao.
"Ill?!" Liu Biao looked at his wife on the bed, trying to see some clues on this Mrs. Cai's face, but everything was in vain, because Mrs. Cai was really sick, and the wounds on her body were exhausted. After such a long time, the pain is extremely painful even if you move a little bit, it's not pretending at all. It seems that the lady is really sick.
The feeling in Liu Biao's heart is indeed extremely complicated. He has an urge to see through Mrs. Cai, and wants to find out that Mrs. Cai caught the adulterer, husband, adulterer, and woman after pretending to be difficult, but he also wanted to kill her on the spot. I don't want to, because no matter who I am, I don't like being cuckolded. Seeing that Mrs. Cai is sick, Liu Biao's relationship is as complicated as it is.
"My lord, why did you come to the Jingshan mansion?" Madam Cai asked.
"I, I, I!" Embarrassment flashed across Liu Biao's face. He couldn't tell Mrs. Cai directly. I got a letter saying you cheated. Give me a cuckold behind my back outside! After thinking about it, Liu Biao immediately had an excuse, "I learned that Madam is sick, and I feel uneasy, so I came to visit Madam specially!"
"Master, why is this so? How can a family speak differently? This time when I came to the Jingshan mansion, I didn't know why my body had a cold, and I spent these days in the hospital bed. Let’s rest for a while, and then go back. Who would have thought that you will come, master! I’m really touched by this concubine!” Mrs. Cai was also born in the noble family, and she is very good at acting. In an instant, there were tears on the corners of the eyes.
"Madam, you don't have to be like this, don't be like this!" Seeing the tears in the corners of Madam Cai's eyes, Liu Biao felt a sense of guilt in his heart. My wife is sick, and I still suspect that my wife has cheated. It really shouldn't be.
Mrs. Cai is very favored in Liu Biao's family. In addition to being Cai Mao's younger sister, Mrs. Cai has already grasped Liu Biao's heart. Basically, Mrs. Cai knows what Liu Biao thinks.
"My lord. My lord was able to put aside the government affairs of Jingzhou and come to see my concubine at the Jingshan mansion in the midst of his busy schedule. I was very touched. But did the lord bring Zong'er with him when he came out?!" Mrs. Cai asked Liu Biao .
"Zong'er?!" Zong'er, of course, is Liu Zong. He is Liu Biao's youngest son and Liu Biao's favorite son. When Mrs. Cai asked this, Liu Biao really forgot about Liu Zong. He came to catch the traitor. Yes, so I might remember to take Liu Zong with me.
Seeing Liu Biao's appearance, Mrs. Cai sobbed again, "Master, I am very touched that you can come to see my concubine, but Zong'er, Zong'er is still young, how can you bear to leave Zong'er alone in the mansion, Master?" Among them!" Liu Zong is only three years old this year, a complete brat. Such a grade is the time when parents need to take care of them.
"Zong'er is naturally taken care of by a nanny and maidservant! Madam, don't worry!" Liu Biao comforted Madam Cai.
Who knew that Mrs. Cai would not take this kind of thing at all, "No, no! Zong'er is so small, what if he wants to have parents! No, I want to get up, I want to go back, sir, let them prepare a carriage, I want to go back !" Mrs. Cai struggled desperately, trying to get up but failed again and again.
"Ma'am, ma'am, be safe and don't be impatient!" Liu Biao hurriedly comforted his wife. Madam Cai's complexion was very ugly, and her body was weak, so naturally she couldn't go back directly.
Liu Biao thought for a while, "Ma'am, you can rest in Jingshan Mansion at ease, and I will go back to Xiangyang to take care of Zong'er!" Mrs. Cai couldn't move, so only Liu Biao went back, and no one could send someone to bring Liu Zong here.
"It's so hard work, master!" Mrs. Cai nodded and said to Liu Biao.
The poison on Mrs. Cai's body has not been completely removed. If Liu Biao stays here for a long time, sooner or later she will show her flaws, so Liu Biao must be let go.
"My lord, I'm dizzy, I want to sleep first!" Mrs. Cai started to let Liu Biao leave.
"Ma'am, take a good rest!" Liu Biao nodded and left the room, letting Madam Cai have a good rest.
Seeing Liu Biao leave, Mrs. Cai breathed a sigh of relief, the bellyband she had just changed was soaked again.
"My lord!" Liu Biao was able to get out of Mrs. Cai's room. Outside the door, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue had already stood outside the door and saluted Liu Biao.
They were worried at first, but now they don't have the slightest worry, because Liu Biao went in with a cold face, but now he came out with a smile, so naturally there is not much worry.
"Degui, Yidu, thank you for your hard work!" Liu Biao didn't catch anyone, so he was naturally happy and his attitude towards Cai Mao and Kuai Yue became better.
Cai Hao and Kuai Yue glanced at each other and knew that it was nothing serious, Qi Qi turned to Liu Biao and replied, "No hard work, my lord!"
Liu Mang and Jia Xu are still under the control of the Jingzhou Guard's soldiers and horses. Liu Biao waved his hand, and the soldiers below released Liu Mang and Jia Xu. Middle?!" Although Liu Biao called Liu Mang's official title, his tone was very affectionate.
"Without him, Liu Jingzhou! One of them is to come here to deliver some rouge gouache that Mang brought from the Western Regions to Madam! I want Madam to keep her youth!" Seeing Liu Biao's expression, Liu Mang also knew that it was It's all right, it's not easy to cause trouble directly now. Liu Biao actually smiled and talked to himself. I can't help but give face.
"Oh?!" Liu Biao was not interested in this rouge gouache from the Western Regions. The answer was just out of courtesy, and Liu Biao didn't believe that Liu Mang would be so kind just to send rouge and gouache.
"One more thing is to ask Madam for a favor!" Liu Mang said to Liu Biao.
"help?!"
"Yes, Liu Jingzhou should know that Mr. Yidu's son is going to marry my big man's princess, who is the younger sister of this king. This king came to Jingzhou in a hurry. No one can think of the matchmaker's words in return. Help. So I want my wife to be my natal family! Let Mr. Kuai Ran marry Mang’s younger sister back from his wife!”
Hearing Liu Mang's words, Liu Biao nodded, although that Yan Ran used to be a woman in the music hall, but now she is no longer what she used to be, she has become a princess, naturally the tide rises, Kuai Ran will marry Yan Ran within a few months In the midst of it, Kuairan cannot marry Yanran back from the inn, Yanran must have a natal family! This Mrs. Cai can do it, because Liu Biao is the Uncle Liu Huang in name, and naturally Mrs. Cai is Liu Mang's aunt. Therefore, she can be a good family for Yanran.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! When the time comes, it will be a different degree. Just let Kuai Ran come to my mansion to marry him!" Liu Biao was in a good mood because he didn't catch the girl, so he agreed immediately.
"So Kuai Yue thanked the lord for Gouzi!"
"Thank you so much, Uncle!" Liu Reck looked at Liu Biao and clasped his fists. Liu Reck didn't tell the whole story. Liu Reck's real purpose was to let Mrs. Cai help him persuade you to put grain and grass in Yangzhou. Now it seems that Mrs. Cai is Almost done.
"By the way, uncle, what about Yangzhou's grain and grass?!" Liu Mang has never been able to find Liu Biao to discuss the matter of grain and grass directly. He couldn't find Liu Biao if he wanted to see him. this opportunity.
"This, this! Alien, please discuss Kuai Ran's marriage here with your in-laws first! Zonger in my mansion is still waiting for me to go back, so I will leave first!" Liu Biao said haha and went straight Just ready to leave.
"Uncle, Liu Jingzhou, wait!" Liu Mang wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Liu Biao's men, and when he realized it, Liu Biao had already left the mansion.
Watching Liu Biao leave, Liu Mang shook his head helplessly.
"Your Highness, stop chasing him!" Kuai Yue stepped forward to dissuade Liu Biao, even if he caught up now, Liu Biao would not talk about it directly, he would just change the topic, and if he wanted Liu Biao to sell food, he could only do it from the side.
"Mr. Yidu!" Liu Reck looked at Liu Biao's departure, and he naturally knew that there was nothing to talk about if he caught up, otherwise Liu Reck would have gone to Liu Biao directly, and still need such trouble.
"Mr. Yidu, why did Liu Jingzhou appear here?!" Liu Mang asked Kuai Yue, who wanted to know who was the informer.
"Why does Your Highness ask this question!" Kuai Yue shook his head and said, "Of course some people don't want His Highness to succeed!"
"Really!" Liu Mang answered yes and no, and the question was that the stove was not right, but the two of them understood what they meant.
Among those in Jingzhou who didn't want Liu Mang to succeed, and wanted to drag the Cai family into trouble, only two were Huang She and Pang Tong. Huang She didn't have that IQ, so the rest was Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan.
"Pang Hei Fat?!" Liu Mang narrowed his eyes, he regretted a bit, he should have killed Pang Tong directly in Kuai Liang's mansion back then, even if he offended Lumen Academy, he almost missed it today If it wasn't for Miss Xiaocui, then Liu Mang would really be doomed. Once Liu Biao caught and raped him in bed, Liu Mang would really be speechless. At that time, let alone food and grass, it would be a problem for Liu Mang to get out of Jingzhou alive.
This Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan are really poisonous. This kills two birds with one stone. Not only Liu Mang is finished, but the Cai family will also be unlucky. If Liu Mang dies, Yangzhou will naturally go to war with Jingzhou, and Liu Bei in Yuzhou will be the big winner. That At that time, even if Liu Biao didn't support Liu Bei, he couldn't do it.
"My lord, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan should still be in the mansion!" The old fox Jia Xu next to him is also angry. The poisonous snake couldn't bear it anymore.
"That's right, where is Pang Tong!" Liu Wei asked Xiao Cui next to him, Liu Wei remembered that Pang Heipang was still in the mansion. He was going to kill this person directly. Last time he gave Mr. Pang De face, but this time he would kill Pang Tong even if he offended Mr. Pang De. Otherwise the threat is too great.
But Xiao Cui shook her head, "Your Highness, Pang Tong has already left!"
"Fatty is such a good character!" Liu Mang cursed.
"Your Highness. If there is nothing wrong, I will leave first!" Kuai Yue didn't want to get involved in the scheme of master and servant, so he left first.
…
"What, Liu Biao retreated?!" Standing in the limelight of Jingshan, Pang Tong couldn't believe his eyes. Originally, Liu Biao went to catch the traitor aggressively. The mansion was surrounded by water. But now it's anticlimactic, and even retreated
"Liu Mang has been arrested by Liu Biao?!" Pang Tong questioned the spies who came to report.
"No, no!" The spy shook his head and replied.
"That's killing?! Okay, okay, Liu Mang Liu Hanyang, you're finally dead!" Pang Tong wanted to scream up to the sky and fight with him, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. Many times of being upset and aggrieved is finally enough for one time, Yangzhou. Jingzhou, the overlord of the Central Plains. my lord! Your great cause is about to come true, Pang Tong's eyes are shining brightly, once Yangzhou and Jingzhou fight, Pang Tong is going to let the lord Liu Bei ask for food and grass like Liu Biao, and when Jingzhou and Yangzhou are about to fight, then his lord Liu Bei will annex Yangzhou It's time to fight Jingzhou. As for Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in Yizhou, they have long been out of Pang Tong's eyes.
"Military Master is really the reincarnated Zhang Liang and Xiao He!" The men next to him patted the horses, as long as Liu Mang died, they would be worthy of the cold, and after that, would they be missing in terms of rewards for meritorious deeds
"Haha, haha!" Pang Tong also laughed out loud. What does Xiao He and Zhang Liang mean? One is to say that Pang Tong is capable and talented, and the other is to say that their lord can be like the great ancestor Liu Bang Achieve a career and aspire to the top of the world.
"No, no, military advisor!" The spy was about to cry. He didn't dare to tell Pang Tong the truth, but he was afraid that if he lied to Pang Tong, he would die even worse. Early death and late death are death anyway, and the detective said straight away, "Master, Liu Mang is not dead, and Liu Biao didn't arrest him, so he just left!"
"The excited expression on Pang Tong's face immediately condensed." What did you say! "
The spy almost cried out, "Military Master, Liu Mang is not dead, and Liu Biao has not succeeded in catching the rape!"
"How is it possible, didn't you tell me that you put the whole bottle of Zui Xianlu in it?!"
"That's right! I put them all in, but when Liu Biao left, Liu Mang came back from outside! No longer in Mrs. Cai's room!"
"How could it be, how could it be!" Pang Tong was stunned immediately. The strategy Pang Tong used today has no turning back at all. With his ass, he can figure out who made the move. If it succeeds, that's all. After finishing with Liu Mang, even if he knew that Pang Tong was calculating, he had to form an alliance with Yuzhou, but if he failed, then Pang Tong would not only offend Liu Mang to death, but also offend the Cai family to death.
Of the four great aristocratic families in Jingzhou, the Kuai family is already on Liu Mang's side, and their Pang family, Lumen Academy Pang Degong, has already spoken, so they don't embarrass Liu Mang anymore, and add another Cai family!
Pang Tong didn't dare to imagine, "Zhuzi, you hurt me!" Pang Tong drew a long sword from his waist and stabbed at the spy with a sword.
"Pfft!" The blood flew out, splashing Pang Tong's face, and his whole face was stained red with blood. ,
"Military division, military division, you. You!" This subordinate did not expect Pang Tong to be so ruthless.
"What's the use of keeping the trash!" Pang Tong's cold face made his subordinates dare not speak at all.
…
"Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan?!" In Madam Cai's room, Liu Mang entered again, but this time the two were wearing clothes. Madam Cai was listening to Liu Mang's words on the bed, her pretty face was already cold down,
"Yes, only Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan would use such a strategy!" Liu Mang nodded.
"He Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan have a grudge against you, Liu Mang. Why did he want to kill me?!" Mrs. Cai didn't understand. Everyone knew that Pang Tong had a grudge against Liu Mang, but the Cai family was still with him even before. Allies, now they are directly cheated.
"Allies?!" Liu Wei sneered, "Zhang Xiu used to have the same idea as you, but in the end!" Liu Wei showed Zhang Xiu's example to Mrs. Cai, "The two masters and servants are best at You've cheated your allies!" Zhang Xiu's example is there. Originally, he and Liu Paopao were flirting with each other, but the two parties were in the honeymoon period. But in the end. Zhang Xiuyi was defeated. In order to regain his vitality, Liu Bei swallowed Zhang Xiu straight away, not even a bone left. Zhang Xiu started from his uncle, and the two bags of hard work created by Zhang Xiu were all swallowed up by Liu Paopao early in the morning. The bones and dregs are gone, this is an ally.
Seeing Mrs. Cai, she still didn't quite believe that Liu Wei continued to give examples, "There is also Cao Cao, and my father-in-law, Lu Bu! Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, kindly gave Liu Bei and Liu Da'er the title of Liu Huangshu. He also gave him a left general. , But how did this Liu Bei repay Cao Mengde? Cao Cao defeated Xuzhou earlier, and this general who killed Cao Cao later occupied Xuzhou! This is an ally! Not to mention my father-in-law, the two of them calculated each other!"
"Drunken Immortal Dew!" Madam Cai's voice became colder. Mrs. Cai knew more about its medicinal properties than Liu Mang, because this Drunken Immortal Dew was a product of Mrs. Cai's property. Mrs. Cai originally bought and sold this thing as a high-end commodity, but who knew that she was hit by her own medicine! In Mrs. Cai's room, there is a list of the sales of Zuixianlu, and there are indeed records of sales by Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan.
"That barbarian princess is in your Liu Mang's mansion!" Mrs. Cai suddenly asked Liu Mang.
"Barbarian princess?!" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, why did Mrs. Cai ask such a question.
"Don't play dumb! Princess Qianyu! It was Your Highness the King of Shu who rescued that barbarian that day!" Mrs. Cai said while looking straight at Liu Mang.
"How do you know?!" Liu Mang replied subconsciously.
"Of course I know. I lost two thousand gold in vain because of your Highness the King of Shu!" Mrs. Cai said while looking at Liu Mang.
"I caused you to lose two thousand gold?!" Liu Mang didn't understand.
"You kidnapped the barbarian princess, and we are not good at escorting you. So you can't get money from the Huang family!" Mrs. Cai continued.
"From Huang's house? Escort is not good?!" Liu Wei finally understood and pointed at Mrs. Cai and said in disbelief, "You, you are the owner of the music hall?!"
"En!" Madam Cai nodded.
Liu Mang was really shocked. The owner of this music hall is known to only a few people in Jingzhou, but what everyone knows is that the owner of this music hall has a great background, and he does not even have children from the four great families. He dared to be presumptuous in the music hall, but he never thought that the owner of this music hall would be Mrs. Cai in front of him!
"Since you are the owner of the music hall, why does Cai He still need money in the music hall?!" Liu Mang didn't understand, Mrs. Cai was Cai He's older sister, and his younger brother actually wanted money in his shop .
"I am me, Cai He is Cai He, what does it matter!" Mrs. Cai asked back that the function of the music hall is not only to make money, but also to collect information, so naturally she will not tell everyone.
"I declare in advance that we didn't go to rob your barbarian princess, we just saved that barbarian man!" Liu Mang knew that the last thing in this world that he could not owe was women's money. If it was stolen, then Mrs. Cai would naturally put the account on Liu Mang's head. Two thousand gold, Liu Mang was not taken advantage of.
"I didn't ask you to lose money, why are you so nervous!" Mrs. Cai rolled her eyes at Liu Mang.
"How are you going to deal with Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan?!" Liu Mang asked directly, changing the subject.
"Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan?!" Mrs. Cai's eyes flickered coldly. This time, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan were simply too vicious. He not only counted Liu Mang into it, but also brought her, Cai Ye, so Mrs. Cai was completely out of control. It's hot, if it wasn't for Xiaocui and Liu Mang today, they might really be in a place of eternal doom.
But Mrs. Cai also has scruples, that is the status of the youngest son Liu Zong, what if Lumen Academy takes action against her after dealing with Pang Tong, this is Mrs. Cai's scruples.
Liu Mang already knew about Mrs. Cai's scruples from Xiao Cui.
"Are you worried that Lumen Academy will support the eldest son Liu Qi to compete with you for the position of the Lord of Jingzhou?!" Liu Mang said with a smile.
"What do you mean?!" Mrs. Cai looked at Liu Mang with a pair of beautiful eyes and became a little cold.
"Then let me tell you, you don't need to worry at all. I have promised this Jingzhou for Liu Qi, and I won't compete with Liu Zong!"
"Huh?!" Mrs. Cai became more and more confused. What does it mean to replace Liu Zong and agree.
"Your eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, has long been from my Yangzhou!" Liu Mang said an answer that made Mrs. Cai stunned.
"What!" Mrs. Cai didn't believe it at all.
"Hehe, when I was in Xinye, Liu Qi was already loyal to me!" Liu Mang said to Madam Cai with a smile, "If you are worried that Lumen Academy will interfere with it, you don't need it at all. I can promise you with Liu Qi. Absolutely not." Join Liu Zong in the fight for Jingzhou Mu!" Liu Mang looked at Madam Cai and said, but he didn't finish saying that if this Jingzhou was still Liu Biao, then he would never let Liu Qi join the fight. But if this Jingzhou is no longer Liu Biao's, then it has nothing to do with Liu Mang.
"Is this true?!" Mrs. Cai stared at Liu Mang intently, wanting to seek answers from Liu Mang's eyes.
"It's absolutely true!" Liu Mang confirmed.
"What do you want?!" Mrs. Cai still stared at Liu Mang and said,
"I don't care who is in charge of Jingzhou State Shepherd, but what I want is that Jingzhou can sell grain and grass to Yangzhou this time. As long as my wife can help Yangzhou out of the predicament this time, the kindness of dripping water will be repaid. As long as If there is war in Jingzhou, then Yangzhou is Jingzhou's solid ally!"
"Food?!" Mrs. Cai frowned. It's not like she didn't know about the issue of food. Liu Mang came to Jingzhou with the noble body of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, but he came to Jingzhou just for food! But she alone could not make Liu Biao change his mind. Why Madam Cai never annoyed Liu Biao was because Madam Cai did not participate in the handling of government affairs. "I can't do it alone!"
"Don't worry ma'am, I believe ma'am doesn't know that Kuai Yue Kuai Biejia is already married to my Shu palace!" Liu Mang told Madam Cai.
"Kuai Yue? Kuai Ran?!" Mrs. Cai still knew the son of the Kuai family.
"Yes!" Liu Mang nodded, "Mr. Pang De of Lumen Academy also promised me that he would not embarrass Yangzhou!" Liu Mang gave Mrs. Cai another reassurance.
"Lumen Academy?!" Mrs. Cai couldn't believe it. Lumen Academy has always been helping the Pang family. It is precisely because of the Lumen Academy that although the Pang family's low position in Jingzhou does not have the status of the Cai family and the Huang family in the army. It doesn't have the status of the Kuai family in the officialdom, but it is not inferior to these three families! But Liu Mang offended Pang Tong, the heir of the Pang family.
"Hehe, Madam also said that Pang Tong is Pang Tong, and the Pang family is the Pang family!"
"Okay, I promise you!" Mrs. Cai nodded and said. Originally, Mrs. Cai was hesitant because, even if Mrs. Cai agreed, it might be unsuccessful due to other aspects. But now it's different, the two people that Mrs. Cai fears the most have already been opened up by Liu Mang. He is just a person who adds flowers to the brocade, so he naturally agreed.
"By the way, Ma'am, there is also Liu Qi's life. I hope Ma'am can save Liu Qi's life after Mr. Liu Zong takes the position of Jingzhou Shepherd!" Liu Mang said to Madam Cai.
"Save Liu Qi's life!" Mrs. Cai hesitated. The first thing Liu Zong should do after succeeding to the throne is to kill Liu Qi to prevent future troubles. Madam, please don't attack Liu Qi. Madam Cai couldn't help but look at Liu Mang more, because if Liu Qi is kept, Jingzhou will not be stable. If Liu Mang just wants to keep Liu Qi alive, then that's fine. If Liu Mang has other reasons If you think about it, then it's really hard to say.
A single Liu Qi can arouse the unrest of those great Confucians and scholars who regard Zhou Rites as the Bible.
"Don't worry, ma'am, once Mr. Liu Zong inherits the position of lord of Jingzhou, I will definitely let Liu Qi stay away from Jingzhou and never set foot on the land of Jingzhou for the rest of his life. If Madam doesn't believe me, this king can also write a document for Madam. King Ben's seal!" Liu Mang's sincerity has reached this point, and Mrs. Cai has to believe it even if she doesn't believe it.
"I hope His Royal Highness the King of Shu can do what he says!" Mrs. Cai looked at Liu Mang's words and said,
"That's natural! Ma'am, Yangzhou and Jingzhou will win if they cooperate, and if they divide, they will lose!" Liu Mang said to Madam Cai, "Who is Jingzhou's current enemy?!"
"The enemy of Jingzhou?!" Even though Madam Cai is not involved in government affairs, she still knows that the biggest enemy in Jingzhou is Jiangdong Sun Ce, "Jiangdong Little Overlord?!" .
"Naturally, he is the little overlord of Jiangdong! Then Madam knows who our enemy in Yangzhou is!" Liu Mang asked again.
"The enemy of Yangzhou?!" This is embarrassing Mrs. Cai. Mrs. Cai is just a woman, and the most he thinks about is the low position of his son, the Lord of Jingzhou. How can he think of other things!
"We have many enemies in Yangzhou, Cao Cao from Xudu is far away, and Liu Bei from Yuzhou is close. And we have a common enemy with Jingzhou, that is Jiangdong Sun Ce!" Liu Mang was explaining to Mrs. Cai.
"Jiangdong Sun Ce?!" Mrs. Cai was still unclear.
"That's right, Jiangdong Sun Ce. Madam probably also knows the territory of our Yangzhou! The six counties of Yangzhou, Lujiang, Hefei, Shouchun, Anfeng, Gushi, and Linhuai." Liu Mang was spreading knowledge to Madam Cai.
"We snatched Lujiang County from Jiangdong Sun Ce!" Liu Wei said to Mrs. Cai.
"In Linhuai, my Yangzhou soldiers and horses are already competing with Jiangdong Sun Ce! I guess there may be results if there is more surplus at most!" Liu Mang was drawing a simple map for Mrs. Cai.
"Jiangdong Sun Ce is a fierce tiger, and now he occupies Jiangdong. Although he has Jiangdong's terrain and resources, this Jiangdong is like a cage! We trapped this tiger in the cage. Yangzhou is the north wall of this cage, and Jingzhou is the west wall, once this tiger breaks through this cage, the world will be unstoppable!" Liu Mang is not threatening Mrs. Cai, it is indeed the case, Jiangdong little tyrant Sun Ce Once Jingzhou is won, then it will really occupy half of the country. With the land of Jingchu, it can completely compete with the overlord of the Central Plains and the overlord of Hebei.
"We in Jingzhou have a feud with Jiangdong Sun Ce who killed his father! What about you in Yangzhou?!" Although Mrs. Cai didn't understand this. But she knows that there are no permanent enemies among politicians and princes, only permanent interests. The reason why Jingzhou and Jiangdong couldn't get rid of this knot was because Jiangdong and Jingzhou already hated so much that they couldn't get in touch at all, so they fought every year, that is, the hatred of killing their father was irreconcilable.
The Changsha tiger back then, that is, Changsha Sun Jian, the father of the little overlord of Jiangdong, had led the governor of Yuzhou and wanted to attack Jingzhou, but was killed by Huang Zu of Jingzhou under Kuaiyue Kuailiang's strategy.
It can be said that Jiangdong and Jingzhou have nothing to talk about since then, only one can live, just like Tao Qian and Cao Cao, Tao Qian killed Lao Cao's father, Lao Cao must kill Tao Qian, even if it is Cao Cao This kind of person who doesn't care about past suspicions for the sake of talents can't bear it. He Cao Cao forgave Zhang Xiu, because it was his son who died. A dead son is not as valuable as a living Zhang Xiu. Even if Zhang Xiu is killed, it will be difficult to make up for it. , it is better to use Zhang embroidery first and then settle the accounts.
But Tao Qian is different, as long as Cao Cao compromises, then there is no need for the enemy to take action, and Cao Cao will be scolded to death by the people of the world. The ancients have been governing the country with filial piety for thousands of years. Kindness and filial piety come first.
Therefore, the feud of killing one's father is irreconcilable. Jingzhou and Jiangdong are either you or me, and there is no possibility of any discussion.
What Mrs. Cai meant by saying this is that there is no possibility of reconciliation between our Jingzhou and Jiangdong, but if we form an alliance with you Yangzhou, what if you and Jiangdong cheat Jingzhou of them together!
"Madam, it's not just that you Jingzhou and Jiangdong have no possibility of reconciliation, our Yangzhou is also like this!" Liu Mang said to Madam Cai.
"Huh?!" Mrs. Cai was a little disbelieving.
"The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable, but the hatred of taking one's wife is not the same!" In order to get Jingzhou's support, Liu Mang even revealed this kind of secret.
"Hate for taking his wife?!" Mrs. Cai said suspiciously.
"Not long after Sun Ce got married in Jiangdong, his Lujiang River was breached by us, and his newlywed wife naturally fell into our hands, and Sun Ce announced that his wife was dead because his wife had been accepted by the king. Wife!" Liu Mang revealed Qiao Yu's identity.
"Ah!" Women are obviously gossips, their eyes lit up when they heard Liu Mang's secret, and they insisted on Liu Mang explaining it to her.
"Ma'am, listen to me carefully!" Liu Mang explained to Madam Cai.
Mrs. Cai couldn't get enough of it after listening to it, and even said something that made the corners of Liu Mang's mouth twitch. Mrs. Cai actually asked how it compares to her? How can this be compared? It can only be compared with the big quilt sleeping together,
But hearing what Mrs. Cai said about Liu Mang was really a little palpitating. These two beauties have their own merits, Yu'er is pure and clean and has a ladylike temperament, while Mrs. Cai is very familiar. She is a boudoir and dissatisfied woman. Has the temperament of a noble lady. It can be said that each has its own merits.
"That's why we have a common enemy. As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. The alliance between Yangzhou and Jingzhou can take a place in this troubled world!" Liu Mang said to encourage Mrs. Cai.
"Ma'am, the general situation of the world is becoming clearer now. The hegemony between the two largest forces in the north has ended. Cao Cao of Xudu has already occupied the north. It is only a matter of time before Cao Cao goes south. I I want to ask Madam, who can stop her!" Liu Mang was threatening Madam Cai.
In the past, I was explaining the general trend of the world to Mrs. Cai, but now I am telling Mrs. Cai that the world is no longer the one that can be stabilized after occupying one-third of an acre of land at the beginning.
"Cao Cao?!" Mrs. Cai is really unfamiliar with Cao Cao, because there was a war in Jingzhou, and it was also in Nanyang, in Jiangxia, and in Xiangyang, the arrival of war was not felt at all.
"Yeah! Cao Cao! In Cao Cao's hands, there were Zhili, Yanzhou, half of Yuzhou, and Xuzhou. They occupied three and a half states! Now Cao Cao has defeated Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, and the city of Ye has been breached. Jizhou Half of it has already been won, and the same is true for Bingzhou! Waiting for Cao Cao to pacify the north, then Youzhou Qingzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Zhili, and Yuzhou are in hand, who in the world will be an opponent!"
"The first to bear the brunt should be Liu Bei from Yuzhou and you Yangzhou!" Mrs. Cai is not a fool, after Liu Wei's explanation, she naturally knows who will be the first to be unlucky.
"Hehe, ma'am, Madam should have heard the story of dead lips and cold teeth!" Liu Mang said with a smile, "It is true that our Yangzhou and Liu Daer's Yuzhou are the first to bear the brunt, but once we are wiped out, the rest will be Jiangdong and Jingzhou Madam thinks Jingzhou has a good chance of winning!"
"We have the natural danger of the Yangtze River!" Mrs. Cai argued to Liu Mang, "Even if Cao Cao has an army of one million, he can't fill the Yangtze River!"
"Hehe, really! If that's the case, why did your elder brother Cai Mao and Cai Junshi send troops to contact Cao Cao in Xudu!" Liu Mang said while looking at Mrs. Cai with a smile.
"How did you know that?!" Mrs. Cai was shocked when she heard Liu Mang's words. How did Mang know.
This secret cannot be passed on, if Liu Biao finds out, it will be a great joy.
"Hehe, Madam, why hide it! You also know that Kuai Yue Kuai Bie Jia and I are already a family?!" Liu Mang deliberately misled Madam Cai.
"Kuai Yue?!" Mrs. Cai just remembered that not only the Cai family but also the Kuai family did the same! Kuai Ran should have told Liu Mang.
"Will Kuai Ran and Kuai Yue know what to say? Not to mention whether Kuai Ran will know, but with Kuai Yue's character as an old fox, he will not tell Liu Mang. Liu Mang can know what the Cai family and the Kuai family are doing. , that’s because following the original trajectory, the Cai family and the Kuai family took Jingzhou to Cao Cao after Liu Biao’s death. Now that Cao Cao has won the hegemony in the north, the Cai family and the Kuai family will definitely Send envoys to congratulate those who laid the foundation.
"Madam, if Madam doesn't mind, it's not that what I said was not good. If Madam brings Jingzhou to join Cao Cao, then there is only one ending left for Madam!" Liu Mang said to Madam Cai.
"What ending?!"
"This ending is that the wife will become a plaything of Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, and the Cai family will continue to rely on the wife to sell her body in exchange for wealth!"
"You, you, you!" Madam Cai pointed at Liu Mang with furious eyes, not knowing what to say.
What Liu Mang said is too harsh, what is betraying one's body!
"What? Did I say something wrong! Madam was supposed to marry a gifted scholar in her 28th year to be worthy of a beautiful lady, but Madam served Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng. Liu Jingsheng is old enough to be Madam's father!" Liu Mang said to Looking at Mrs. Cai, she said coldly, "Just having such a good body and such a beautiful face, but no one appreciates it!" Liu Mang stretched out his hand, stroking Mrs. Cai's smooth face like In stroking a work of art in general.
"Ma'am, this Cao Mengde is the same age as Liu Jingsheng, but he is better than Liu Jingsheng, and he is much more attractive! Even in the end, even his confidant general and his son will be sacrificed!" Cao Cao because of the Zou family Losing his general Dian Wei and his eldest son Cao Ang has become a joke in the world.
"Madam, can you bear it!" Liu Mang looked at Madam Cai lovingly, like a flower appreciator watching an old cow chewing peonies.
"Me?!" Mrs. Cai was caressed by Liu Mang like this. Not only did she not have the slightest resentment, but it was a kind of enjoyment. Let her only marry someone who can be her father. (to be continued..)
