Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

In the south of the city, Cai Mansion.

Cai Mao returned to his house with complicated thoughts.

Along the way, he was thinking about how to convince his mother and his little sister.

It's easier on the mother's side. After all, she is old and knows that others are bound to be stronger, so she is willing to bow her head.

But the younger sister always thinks very highly of herself and is full of arrogance. If she doesn't want to, Cai Mao honestly has nothing to do.

You can't be forced to get married, right?

well! !

With a long sigh, Cai Mao slowly stepped into the door of the house.

"Master, there is a middle-aged man who claims to be your old friend and has come all the way from a thousand miles away."

"Will you see me now, sir?"

"Old man?"

Cai Hao, who was already upset, scolded him coldly: "Where are there so many old friends?"

"Bullshit!!"

"Kick him out, throw him out!!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a middle-aged man came forward slowly from the concierge on the side: "Brother Desi, why are you so angry? You don't even want to see an old friend?"

Cai Hao turned around and looked at the middle-aged man approaching. He was stunned for a moment, and a flash of shock flashed in his eyes for a moment.

"Brother Gongda"

"How did you come?"

The person who came was none other than Xun Yu, who had come all the way from Xudu.

In order to ensure that his identity was not revealed, he did not take any shortcuts, and the road to visit was naturally extremely ordinary.

If he hadn't paid for it in advance, the concierge wouldn't even have said that.

He also had no chance to see Cai Mao.

"It's not easy to meet Brother De Si."

Cai Mao didn't dare to make excuses. He knew that Xun You came here for important reasons. He quickly stepped back and took a step forward: "Brother Gongda, you are here, and I have made a lot of decisions in my heart."

"Talk inside."

"Can!!"

Back house, in the secret room.

Cai Mao told all the major events that happened in Jingxiang during this period.

After finishing speaking, he said with a bitter look on his face: "I don't know who is talking nonsense. He actually talks about Duke Cao. Lin Fan wants to take advantage of Jing Xiang at the same time."

"Originally no one would believe such nonsense, but with the news that Shouchun City has been destroyed, Lin Fan is gaining momentum. Who can not be afraid?"

"So this morning I was forced into a desperate situation. I had no choice but to agree to marry Liu Biao."

"But isn't this pushing the little girl into the fire pit?"

"But if he doesn't agree, Liu Biao has been suspicious of the Cai family and the Kuai family in the past few years. If this makes him suspicious, then..."

The words were not finished, but the meaning was very clear.

Xun You was stunned. He didn't expect Jing Xiang's situation to be so complicated.

Who spread those rumors?
Who does this power work for?
Did Liu Biao push it deliberately?Or is there a third force that wants to capture Jing Xiang?

Countless ideas appeared in Xun You.

After a while, Xun You said what he was thinking.

After Cai Mao heard this, a complicated light flashed in his eyes: "Brother Gongda, do you think Liu Biao did this on purpose?"

Xun You hesitated for a moment: "I can't say, but it is very likely."

Cai Mao's eyes flashed with fierce anger: "Damn it!"

"Do you really want to treat us like fools?"

Xun You patted Cai Mao on the shoulder: "Brother De Si, don't be anxious."

"If it is really what Liu Biao did, I would feel at ease."

"What do you mean by that?"

Xun You said: "If it wasn't Liu Biao's doing, it means there is still a force whose ownership is unknown. What is their purpose?"

"For whom?"

Cai Hao's expression changed.

"This"

"Apart from Duke Cao and Lin Fan who has the ability to eat him, who else around Jingxiang is so bold?" "Are you saying that Lin Fan is a fool?"

Xun You shook his head: "I'm not sure, but this reminds us that Jing Xiang's matter can't be delayed any longer."

"Gong Cao asked me to come here precisely to settle this matter as soon as possible."

"Besides, tell Brother De Si some good news."

"Oh?"

"What's the good news?" Cai Mao asked curiously.

Xun You pointed to the sky to the west: "Ma Teng of Xiliang has been killed by Han Sui. Now Han Sui is willing to submit to the imperial court and has accepted the imperial court's reward."

"As long as Han Sui sends troops from Xiliang and the imperial court marches west from Luoyang, with a flanking attack from both sides, Yongzhou will definitely be captured."

"At that time, the Yongliang Prefecture, plus Sili Luoyang, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou, the imperial court will control almost half of the world."

"When Jing Xiang returns to the imperial court, who else in the world can resist the imperial court? Who can resist Duke Cao?"

"therefore."

"The matter in Jingxiang cannot be delayed."

Cai Mao's face was filled with a different kind of excitement. He knew what Xun You meant, but he had planned to surrender to Cao Cao, so he would only be happy and not have a headache.

The original hesitation instantly turned into determination: "Brother Gongda, I understand what you mean."

"The Kuai family wanted to bargain before, but after knowing this, I can promise that I will never refuse."

"I'm going to make an appointment with Kuai Yue to convince him to change his previous conditions."

Xun You stopped Cai Hao and said, "Brother De Si thinks too much."

"I don't mean that."

"Your previous conditions were not excessive. Not only did Duke Cao agree, he also promised that he would recommend you as a marquis in the future."

"If we can continue to make meritorious deeds, we may be able to make further progress."

Cai Mao's eyes lit up: "If Mr. Cao has this intention, how can the Kuai family refuse?"

"I'm absolutely sure about it."

Xun You stroked his beard: "As long as the two of you are willing to cooperate, tell the prime minister the truth and reality of each place, and greet all the internal officials in each place, then Jing and Xiang can be settled by coordinating the internal and external responses."

"Liu Biao plans to let your Cai family make a choice within 20 days. We will attack Jingxiang exactly 20 days ago."

"Brother De Si doesn't have to worry about not being able to explain to my mother and little sister."

“Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”

The corner of Cai Mao's mouth raised slightly: "Brother Gongda is really a timely help, specially designed to solve the troubles in my heart."

"I just don't know why Mr. Cao arrived in Jingxiang?"

"What's the plan?"

"Communicate with Kuai Yue and this matter must be explained."

"After all, at this time, it is more important for everyone to be clear about the situation and feel at ease. Otherwise, mutual suspicion will only lead to a complete failure."

Xun You was silent for a while, staring closely at Cai Mao: "Can the Kuai family be trusted?"

"Can Kuai Yue be trusted?"

Cai Hao smiled and nodded: "Absolutely worry-free!"

"When we welcomed Liu Biao to Jingxiang together, we had already reached a tacit understanding secretly."

"Outsiders think that our two families are competing for the No. [-] family in Jingxiang, and we are incompatible with each other. But we are the only ones who know that it is just a show."

"As long as the conditions are sufficient, the Kuai family will always be aware of current affairs."

Xun You nodded slowly: "In that case, I believe Brother De Si's judgment."

"Twenty days later, when Liu Biao wanted to get married and was most relaxed, Cao Gong secretly led an army northward to capture Xiangyang first and then settle Jingzhou."

"However, Xinye must capture Deng County along the way, otherwise we will not be able to cross the Xiangjiang River quietly."

"This is Duke Cao's plan."

"What do you think, Brother De Si?"

Cai Mao laughed loudly, clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful, wonderful!"

"What a brilliant idea!"

"I will communicate with the Kuai family right now."

"Hahaha!!"
