The Three Kingdoms: The filial son of the Cao family, please ask the father to ascend the throne

Chapter 304 Yuzhou Mu

After recruiting five thousand tiger and leopard riders and settling Cao Ang, the envoy from Jingzhou came again.

Cao Ziyou knew the agreement between Liu Biao and Sun Ce because he had received a letter from Jiang Gan before.

When the Jingzhou mission came to Caoying, they felt the chilling intent.

"Second son, let's meet again."

Seeing the smiling Cai Hao in front of him, Cao Ziyou snorted a few times.

"General Cai, Lord Shepherd of Jingzhou is a bit out of touch."

Cai Mao was taken aback for a moment, and asked suspiciously:
"Why did Second Young Master say that? We in Jingzhou are Second Young Master's allies!"

"Hehe, Liu Jingsheng's army has been frequently mobilized to the east recently, what does he want to do?
Combine with Sun Bofu and attack the back of our army? "

As soon as Cao Ziyou finished speaking, Cai Mao and the young man behind him fell to their knees in fright.

"I hope the Second Young Master will find out clearly, Jingzhou Mu definitely has no such intentions!"

"Lord Sikong, Jingzhou will not be an enemy of you, I swear!"

Cao Ziyou's gaze bypassed Cai Mao and looked at the young man behind him.

"Who are you? You are not ashamed to speak out here!"

"Master Sikong, I am the son of Jingzhou Mu, Liu Cong."

"Liu Cong?"

Cao Ziyou was full of doubts.

According to intelligence, Liu Cong is Liu Biao's second son and Liu Biao's most beloved son.

After Liu Biao died, it was Liu Cong who succeeded him.

But before Jingzhou attacked him unexpectedly, he even sent the future heir over as a hostage.

Is Liu Jingsheng crazy?
Seeing this, Cai Mao hurried forward and said:
"Second son, Liu Cong is also the second son of Jingzhou Mu. He is intelligent by nature, and Jingzhou Mu often entrusts him to him.

Hehe, both of you are second sons, this is also a kind of fate! "

Cao Ziyou smacked his lips.

"Liu Cong, right? How do you feel that Jingzhou will never be my enemy?"

"Lord Sikong, my father is seriously ill, just like your father, he won't live for a few more days.

And I have admired Lord Sikong for a long time, and I would like to be Lord Sikong's adoptive son, go through fire and water for Lord Sikong, and do whatever I can! "

Cao Ziyou:? ? ?

What did you do?
Why did a little fan come out?
Looking at the sincere look in Liu Cong's eyes, Cao Ziyou almost felt that there was something wrong with Liu Cong's orientation.

"Ahem, General Cai, this..."

Cai Mao looked around, there was no outsider.

Gritting his teeth, he spoke his mind.

"Lord Sikong, your father and I are best friends, so let me tell you some heartfelt words.

Mr. Jingzhou Shepherd, it is true that his health is getting worse day by day. Several of us discussed that we want the second son to inherit the position of Jingzhou Shepherd.

At that time, if the eldest son Liu Qi refuses to accept it, he will still need Lord Sikong to stand on the platform for the second son.

We will not treat Lord Sikong badly either, and all military affairs such as the city defense of Jingzhou can be handed over to Lord Sikong. "

Handing over the military power also means handing over Jingzhou.

But in name, Liu Cong is still Jingzhou Shepherd.

When Cai Mao said this, Cao Ziyou suddenly realized.

"Is that what you guys meant, or what Liu Jingsheng meant?"

"Well, it should mean Jingzhou."

"But Jiang Gan told me that you seem to have an agreement with Sun Bofu."

When Liu Cong heard the words, he swore to the sky.

"The Empress Dowager is above all, Liu Cong has no second thoughts about Lord Sikong!"

Cai Mao also chimed in:

"Lord Sikong, it was all to paralyze Sun Bofu and help Lord Sikong win the Battle of Chibi in the end!

Jiang Gan is a man with treacherous eyebrows, insidious and cunning, we have long been unhappy with him! "

"Ahem, actually Jiang Gan is my man."

"It's no wonder that Mr. Jiang Gan is full of heaven and awe-inspiring, so it was sent by Lord Sikong!"

Cao Ziyou: ...

"Well, if the Jingzhou Army can help me defeat Jiangdong, then I will recognize Liu Cong, the adopted son."

Cai Mao asked expectantly:
"The question of Jingzhou Mu's successor?"

"General Cai, you want to entrap my adopted son?"

"The last will not dare!"

Cai Mao hurriedly bowed and apologized.

Cao Ziyou said slowly:
"After the pacification of Jiangdong, there are only three places of disobedience.

Jiaozhou, Yizhou, Hanzhong.

And Jingzhou is located in a crucial place, do you think my adopted son can guard it?
Liu Cong, let me ask you.

Do you want to be the shepherd of a war-torn state, or do you want to be the shepherd of a stable state? "

Liu Cong was weak by nature, and he was timid and dared not fight.

Hearing what Cao Ziyou said, he immediately replied:
"Although the boy wants to share the worries of his adoptive father, but he is not capable enough.

Let someone more capable take over the position of Jingzhou Mu.

After all, the foster father's career is the most important thing. As for where the child will go, he will only follow the foster father's orders, and the child will have no complaints or regrets! "

After Liu Cong finished speaking, the two prostitutes in the tent frowned tightly.

Lu Bu and Huang Xu looked at each other, this new foster brother is very good at flattering!

Sure enough, Cao Ziyou was very satisfied with Liu Cong's answer.

"Okay! Cong Er, don't worry, I don't have many other things, I just have a lot of land!
Let me think about it, Xuzhou is the place where I started, and it is not suitable for rewarding outsiders.

Youzhou and Bingzhou are too remote and bordered by foreign races, so they are not suitable.

Got it!

Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which place do you want to be the state shepherd? "

This state pastor refers to the state pastor who has no real power.

Other people are responsible for all affairs in the state and county.

Liu Cong just has a title, and his salary and various benefits are given to him according to the standards of the state pastor.

That's why Cao Ziyou didn't give Liu Cong a remote place, but placed it in the Central Plains.

Everyone here is well aware of this, so they are not jealous.

After all, being a mascot is far less practical than holding real power.

Liu Cong also understood, but he didn't care.

As a second generation who has no ambitions and only wants to eat and die in this life, being a puppet state shepherd, wouldn't it suit him?
Besides, sooner or later this world will belong to his adoptive father.

As an adopted son, what are you doing with Lu Bu being so brave?
At that time, if a good bow hides and a running dog cooks, it is these capable people who will be killed.

As for his trash, would Cao Ziyou kill him?
Others laugh at Liu Cong for being easy-going, but he Liu Cong laughs at others for being ignorant.

Who is right and who is wrong, no one knows until the end.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Cong already had the answer.

"Father, Yanzhou is Cao Gong's place, it is not appropriate for the child to go."

"Ham, there's nothing inappropriate, Lao Cao is occupying the latrine and doesn't shit, sooner or later I will remove him from office.

Since you have chosen Yuzhou, after your father dies, I will make you the shepherd of Yuzhou. "

"Thank you my father!"

Liu Cong was ecstatic, wishing he could go back now and see if Liu Biao hiccupped or not.

Cai Mao is a little jealous, but unfortunately he doesn't have a father who is a state shepherd.

I had to ask respectfully:
"Lord Sikong, because Jingzhou and Yizhou are hostile, some troops need to be stationed on the western front.

A total of 8 Jingzhou troops could be transferred to participate in the Battle of Chibi.

Among them, [-] sailors and [-] infantry and cavalry, all actions are subject to Lord Sikong's arrangements. "
