"No!!! Then Liu Qi has gone to Xinye, and the big-eared thief will come at any time, so there is no time to slow down!!!"

Mrs. Cai shouted sharply, suddenly snatched the precious sword from Cai Mao's hand, and rushed towards her husband Liu Biao with the sword.Fastest update Liu Biao watched Cai's attack, suddenly he had a seizure and pulled out the sharp sword hidden in the bed.Cai Shi rushed too fast, Liu Biao got up angrily, and with all his strength, he aimed his sword at Cai Shi's head and chopped it off.

"Bitch!!!!!!!"

With a flash of sword light, a rain of blood flew, and Cai's head was split in two.Cai Mao watched Cai's family being hacked to death by Liu Biao, regretted it too much, and immediately rushed forward with his troops.

"Chop up the old thief into meat sauce!!!"

Cai Mao and Cai Shi had a very deep relationship, at this moment, his whole body was full of anger and hatred, and he roared desperately.Seeing that Liu Biao was about to be hacked to death by countless machetes.

Boom! ! ! ! ! !

At this moment, above the sky, a huge thunderbolt struck down, broke through the roof, and struck in front of Liu Biao.The dozens of Cai's men who rushed to the front were immediately struck by the thunder.

"Hahahaha!! Scourge!! Scourge!!!! If you wait for a big rebellion, you will be punished by God!!!"

Liu Biao's eyes widened, and after laughing, he suddenly raised his sword and cut his own throat, killing himself.After Liu Biao died, several thunderbolts struck down again and again from the sky. Cai Mao was so frightened that he withdrew quickly.

Soon Liu Biao's dormitory was on fire in many places under the violent thunder.Both Liu Biao and Cai's bodies were engulfed in the flames. Seeing this, Cai Mao didn't dare to stay here any longer, and left immediately with his troops.

After Liu Biao died, so did the Cai family.Cai Mao became the most powerful person in Jingzhou overnight.Cai Mao's temperament changed drastically, as if he had changed into a different person.He found Zhang Yun to discuss, wanting to write a fake will and make his nephew Liu Cong the lord of Jingzhou.

Hearing that the eyes of Zhang Yun burst out with the light of prey suddenly, Yu Cai Mao said in a low voice.

"Now that the foundation is not stable, the Eldest Prince Liu Qi has left Xinye, and he will definitely seek Liu Xuande's help. Liu Xuande is hypocritical, and has long wanted to plot Jingzhou. Besides, many bureaucrats in Jingzhou, such as Wenpin and Yiji, also have a good impression of him, and The people are also deceived by his benevolence and righteousness. If Liu Xuande used Liu Qi's name to rebel in Jingzhou at this time! Jingzhou will be in chaos!"

When Cai Mao heard this, his expression turned cold, and he asked Zhang Yun in a cold voice.

"According to what the public sees, what should I do?"

"General, don't you hear that Zhao Gao and Li Si ordered the death of Qin Shizi to help Su and general Meng Tian in order to help the second emperor of Qin, Hu Hai, to stabilize the world? The current situation in Jingzhou is quite similar to that at that time. Why don't the general follow suit? ?”

Zhang Yun showed a sneer, and when Cai Mao saw it, he seemed to understand what Zhang Yun meant.

"The meaning of the public statement is to teach me not to report the funeral, to temporarily cover up the death of the lord, and then to fake the lord's will, and to kill Liu Qi and Liu Bei! This is only afraid that Liu Qi and Liu Bei are not as loyal as Fu Su and Meng Tian. Foolish! Besides, Meng Tian is a hero of loyalty and righteousness, while Liu Bei is a hero in troubled times!"

Cai Mao squinted his eyes and said with some doubts.Zhang Yun had thought about it for a long time, and replied quickly.

"If you want to kill him, Liu Qi and Liu Bei will naturally not take orders. But the general can use the order of the lord to move his minions. After all, the lord is the lord of Jingzhou. At this time, almost all the troops under Liu Xuande's command are soldiers of Jingzhou. General You can first order that all Jingzhou soldiers under Liu Xuande's command be transferred away, and then at the same time issue an order to remove Liu Qi from the post of Jiangxia County Guard, and then send someone to Jiangxia to take advantage of Liu Qi's absence.

In this way, Liu Qi and Liu Bei will pull out all their minions, and the general can take advantage of the situation and send troops to Xinye to wipe them out!At that time, the general will announce his will and assist the second son Liu Cong to take over the throne of Jingzhou, so that the situation in Jingzhou can be stabilized.The second son is still young, he will always obey the general's advice in everything, so Jingzhou belongs to..."

When Zhang Yun said this, Cai Mao suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! If it turns out to be as you expected, I will definitely live up to you!"

Zhang Yun was also overjoyed when he heard the words, and bowed his hands as a salute, and thanked Cai Mao in advance.At this time Liu Biao was dead, no one could suppress the Cai family anymore, the Cai family was so powerful, when Liu Biao was still alive, most bureaucrats in Jingzhou were already fearful, now that Liu Biao died, these Jingzhou bureaucrats dared not offend Cai Maozhi.Here, all the power in Jingzhou fell into the hands of Cai Mao, and Cai's dominance in Jingzhou was unstoppable!

Jingzhou will change the owner. In order to stabilize the power, Cai Mao must promote some confidantes to take power.How could Zhang Yun not seize such a great opportunity!

Cai Mao tried his best to seize the power of Jingzhou.His first step was to kill Liu Biao first, and the second step was carried out immediately according to Zhang Yun's plan.Cai Mao imitated Liu Biao's handwriting, wrote two documents, sent envoys to Xinye, and at the same time ordered Zhang Yun to rush to Jiangxia to lead Jiangxia's power.

A few days later, people in Hanshou City were in panic.At that time, Liu Cong was only 14 years old, and he was quite smart. The officials didn't know what the current situation was, so they asked Liu Cong to come forward to see Cai Mao.At this time, Liu Cong did not know the news that his parents had died.But faintly felt something was wrong.

Liu Cong was very mature, he first gave Cai Mao the courtesy of an elder first, and then asked Cai Mao any doubts in his heart.Cai Mao didn't hide anything, and was about to tell the current situation one by one.Of course, Cai Mao concealed the fact, only saying that Liu Biao had passed away a few days ago, and his mother Cai was so sad that she also left with Liu Biao.

Liu Cong was shocked and turned pale when he heard the words, and knelt down and cried bitterly, crying very terribly.Cai Mao looked at him coldly, and comforted him for a while, while Liu Cong said in a sobbing voice.

"My parents passed away, why didn't my uncle make a funeral report? Let the two souls rest in peace?"

Cai Mao's face turned cold, and he said to Liu Cong.

"The reason why I am like this is because I am a good nephew!"

Liu Cong stared, his tear-stained face was full of complex colors.Cai Mao squinted his eyes, and there was a bit of resentment in his eyes.

"Your nephew, you know that the lord's will will make your brother Liu Qi take over the throne of Jingzhou!"

When Liu Cong heard this, his whole body trembled and his teeth chattered.All along, he thought that with the help of his mother and his uncle Cai Mao who held the military power in Jingzhou, once his father died, the position of Lord of Jingzhou would definitely belong to him.Liu Cong never expected that Liu Biao would choose Liu Qi!

Seeing Liu Cong's face full of fear and disbelief, Cai Mao smiled coldly and said again.

"Your elder brother Liu Qi is cowardly by nature, and has always been on good terms with Liu Xuande. If he is allowed to take over the throne of Jingzhou, the power of Jingzhou will definitely fall into Liu Xuande's hands. Liu Xuande and my Cai clan are like fire and water. My nephew, you are the son of my sister How can Liu Xuande tolerate you and me in order to consolidate the power in Jingzhou!"

"Uncle, what should I do then!?"

How could Liu Cong not know about the grievances between the Cai family and Liu Bei.Liu Cong lost his sense of proportion for a moment, and hurriedly grabbed Cai Mao's sleeve and asked anxiously.Cai Mao's expression was cold, and he said slowly.

"If my nephew wants to save his life, there is no other way but to take the position of the Lord of Jingzhou!"

"But my father passed away, my brother is now in Jiangxia, and my uncle Liu Bei is in Xinye. My uncle wants me to be the master. If my brother and my uncle raise an army to question the crime, how can we explain it?"

When Liu Cong heard this, he felt a little happy at first, but soon asked fearfully.Cai Mao's face was flat, so he told Liu Cong the strategy he had discussed with Zhang Yun.When Liu Cong heard the words, his heart was settled, and the corners of his mouth curled up into an ecstatic smile.

"Nephew, please appease Jingzhou's civil and military heart, and I will decide everything for you, uncle."

After Cai Mao's words fell, Liu Cong knelt down on the ground and thanked Cai Mao for his great kindness.Seeing Liu Cong like this, Cai Mao also smiled in his heart.The more Liu Cong relies on him, the easier it will be to control him in the future.

When he was young, Liu Cong left, keeping Cai Mao's order in mind, and went back to a group of Jingzhou bureaucrats, and told his father that his father was not seriously ill, and that his condition had stabilized a little, so that everyone need not worry.A few nights ago, in Jingzhou Mufu Mansion, the sound of shouting and killing shook the entire city, and several places in the mansion were on fire.The people asked again, and Liu Cong answered them one by one according to Cai Mao's instructions.Everyone had doubts, so they asked again.But Liu Cong had a cold expression on his face, and without saying a word, everyone had no choice but to retreat.

At the same time, in Xinye City.Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei are gathering in the hall of the county government office.Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and rested his mind, flicking the goose feather fan in his hand.But Liu Bei was restless and stopped talking.

In the past half month, strange things happened again and again, which really made Liu Bei unsure.Earlier, Cao Cao suddenly ordered him to be the General Who Conquers the South, and soon there were many rumors in Jingzhou that he wanted to take advantage of Liu Biao's critical illness to plot against Jingzhou.

Liu Bei secretly realized that this must be a trick by Cao Cao, and he felt uneasy.Several times Yu wanted to go to Jingzhou to meet Liu Biao and express his heart.But they were all stopped by Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang told him that because of Liu Biao's illness, although Jingzhou is calm on the surface, it is actually turbulent in secret.Liu Biao was bedridden all day long, unable to take charge of the overall situation. If Liu Bei rushed to Jingzhou at this time, instead of being able to refute the rumors, he would be harmed by villains.Liu Bei felt reasonable when he heard the words, so he suppressed the idea, but if he didn't refute the rumors, Liu Bei might be suspected and damage his reputation, so he asked Zhuge Liang for advice.Zhuge Liang smiled lightly at the time, and only said to watch the situation temporarily.

"Military Master, it's been half a month, can I just sit here and wait?"

Liu Bei still couldn't bear the uneasiness in his heart, so he asked questions.Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, Zhuge Liang opened his eyes slightly, and smiled at Liu Bei.

"Hehe. My lord, be safe and don't be impatient. I'll be able to move soon."

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the words, and before he could ask any questions, soldiers came to report.

"Report! Eldest son Liu Qi is begging to see you outside the door!"

"Liu Qi? He's not guarding Jiang Xia, why did he come here!?"

Liu Bei was startled again, and looked at Zhuge Liang.Zhuge Liang was flat, as if he had expected it long ago.When Liu Bei saw this, he thought Zhuge Liang must have thought about it a long time ago, and gradually his heart calmed down, so he quickly ordered the soldiers to bring Liu Qi to see him.

After a while, Liu Qi walked in quickly, his face was full of sorrow and anxiety, just entering the lobby, he knelt on his knees and cried out.

"Uncle, save me!!!"

Liu Bei couldn't help standing up in shock, and asked quickly.

"Earlier, Kong Ming didn't use teaching to trick you. Could it be that Mrs. Cai still doesn't give up and wants to put you to death!?"

"No! Uncle doesn't know something, my father does! He!!!"

Liu Bei's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had noticed something, he shouted sharply.

"What's wrong with my brother Jingsheng!!!"

"My father is seriously ill, and he wanted me to be the master, so he ordered my uncle to assist me in the council. Unexpectedly, this matter was learned by the thief Cai Mao and the **** Cai. The two sisters were frantic. I don't know what kind of treason they will do. I also ask my uncle to hurry up and rush to Jingzhou to stabilize the overall situation in Jingzhou. Otherwise, my father will die before his uncle's army arrives. The Cai family will definitely seize power and change his father's will without authorization. Cong is the master and leads Jingzhou!"

Liu Qi spoke harshly, Liu Bei seemed to have suffered a huge blow, staggered a few steps, and screamed.

"My brother, Jing Sheng, is dying! The Cai family is still not ambitious enough, and wants to take advantage of the fire to loot!! How miserable my brother is!!"

Zhuge Liang concentrated his attention, and bowed to his side.

"People have life and death, this is a definite number. I also ask the lord to mourn."

As soon as Zhuge Liang spoke, Liu Qi knelt down and prayed to Zhuge Liang as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Mister is resourceful, please help me!"

Zhuge Liang frowned, and said in embarrassment.

"My lord, it's not that I'm not willing to wait. It's just that there have been many rumors in Jingzhou recently, saying that my lord wants to take advantage of Liu Jingzhou's critical illness and take Jingzhou by force. If my lord sends troops at this time, he will be blamed by others and blamed by the world. What's more, this is your family matter, my master is an outsider after all, how can he interfere at will."

"Sir, what you said is wrong. My uncle is of my blood in the Han Dynasty. He is worthy of my father and brother. How can he be an outsider! My nephew has always treated my uncle as my father's generation. My uncle also regards my nephew as his own flesh and blood. At present, my father's life It will be destroyed once. Uncle can stand by and watch!"

Seeing Zhuge Liang's reluctance, Liu Qi immediately knelt down and bowed to Liu Bei again.Liu Qi was desperate at this time, if a Jingzhou son was forced to do this, it would be desolate.

Liu Bei couldn't bear it very much, and said to Zhuge Liang anxiously.

"Kong Ming, what my nephew said is right. In the past, when I defeated the Cao bandits, I was displaced, and everyone in the world was a Cao bandit. The world is so big, but I have no place to live. If my brother Jing Sheng hadn't accepted me, I will die early. My elder brother is so kind and virtuous, it is difficult to repay one death. Jingzhou is in trouble now, how can I not help!"

After Zhuge Liang listened, his complexion changed, his cold expression relaxed a little, and he said in a concentrated voice.

"It's just words without proof, but based on the one-sided words of the eldest son, how can the bureaucrats in Jingzhou be convinced!"
