Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 12 The dispute in Jingzhou begins
Outside Jingzhou city.

Thirty miles to the north, in a hidden manor.

There are rows of green willows and rows of cars, making it very noisy.

This is a villa of the Cai family, the largest family in Jingzhou.

Deep in the courtyard, under a towering willow tree, there is a long table.

Both sides of the table were filled with people of all kinds.

All of these are extremely wealthy and wealthy.

They are all representatives of the Jingxiang clan.

And none of the four major clans, Cai Kuai, Huang Pang, was absent today.

"I heard that my lord suddenly fell ill recently. I don't know what the details are. Mr. Cai, why don't you tell us?"

Everyone sat down, Huang Chengyan held the walking stick in his hand and spoke first.

He was the oldest and the most senior, so he was the first to speak.

"My lord is worried about the affairs in Jiangdong. He fell ill due to overwork and cannot afford to fall ill. Now under the careful care of my sister, Mrs. Cai, although he cannot recover, he is not in danger of his life for the time being."

Cai Mao, who is Liu Biao's brother-in-law, said slowly with a cunning smile on his face.

"I, Jingzhou, have a grudge against Jiangdong Sun Quan for killing his father. This is a never-ending matter. Moreover, Jiangdong is getting stronger day by day. I am afraid that I, Jingzhou, are no longer a match for him!"

Pang Degong frowned and said, looking worried about the country and the people.

"That's why my lord wants to invite Liu Bei back to Jingzhou to take charge of Jingzhou and fight against Jiangdong. If General Cai and I hadn't blocked it, I'm afraid this would have happened long ago."

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao looked at each other and said slowly.

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao both worked under Liu Biao's account. One was in charge and the other was in charge of the army, firmly controlling the power in Jingzhou.

"Liu Bei? How can you invite him to Jingzhou!"

"Jingzhou is the hard work of our generations and must not fall into Liu Bei's hands!"

"If the true lord must be handed over to Liu Bei, it would be better to hand it over directly to the hands of our clan members!"

When the people of the Jingxiang clan heard what Kuai Yue said, they were filled with righteous indignation and sworn enemies as if they were about to kill their father.

"But my lord trusted Liu Bei, especially when Prime Minister Cao's troops came to attack Xinye a few days ago, and Liu Bei's men tricked him and won a great victory. This spread to my lord's ears, and he confirmed that Liu Bei was a great talent. Only by handing over the affairs of Jingzhou to Liu Bei can we reject Cao Cao in the north and Sun Quan in the east!"

Cai Mao said angrily.

Among the four major clans, the other three mostly control Jingzhou's economic lifeline and low-level government affairs.Only Cai Mao is the top power center in Jingzhou.

As the first wife of Liu Biao, Mrs. Cai was a woman involved in politics and sold her official position to win titles.

Although Mrs. Cai's son Liu Cong is not the eldest son, his status is still higher than that of his eldest son Liu Qi.Moreover, with Mrs. Cai in charge and Cai Mao in charge of the military power, the two were brewing a farce of abolishing the elder and establishing a younger one, with Liu Cong as the young master of Jingzhou.

If you listen to Liu Biao at this time and invite Liu Bei to Jingzhou, it will be a failure!
"This is really strange for Liu Bei. In the past, he was defeated by Prime Minister Cao in Xuzhou and southern Henan several times. How did he come to Xinye and become the leader of the army? He actually defeated Cao Ren's [-] men with a weak force?"

"Mr. Huang, it's not your son-in-law who's causing trouble, right?"

Pang Degong spoke in confusion and turned his eyes to Huang Chengyan.

Kuai Yue suddenly woke up and said: "I seem to have heard that Liu Bei recently invited Wolong to help him and defeated Cao Jun! Huang Gong, Mr. Wolong, is your son-in-law. We can't turn our elbows outward and shoot inward with cannons." ah!"

Huang Chengyan was questioned by the two major clans one after another. His face turned red and he tapped the wooden stick on the floor, making a loud thud!
"Impossible! If Kong Ming dares to do that, I will break up with him and never have any contact with him again!"

As he spoke, he turned his head, pulled his neck and shouted out: "Xiao Yunzi! Go find the whereabouts of my uncle quickly and bring him back to me! If you can't find him, don't come back!"

Huang Chengyanzi's face flushed and he said angrily.Xiao Yunzi, a young servant of the Huang family, came in quickly to take orders and left in a hurry.

At this moment, a man walked in slowly, dressed in white and with a solemn expression!

"Brother! Why are you here!?"

Kuai Yue hurriedly stood up, greeted him with both hands, helped the incoming man sit down on his seat, and stood by his side with his hands down.

The person who came was none other than the actual person in power of the Kuai family, Kuai Liang, the eldest brother of Kuai Yue!
"Everyone, I just received a letter from the Xun family in Yingchuan, so I don't dare to delay and come here in a hurry to discuss with you."

Yingchuan Xun family?
Xunyu, Xunyu, all come from the Xun family in Yingchuan!
That's Prime Minister Cao's family!
But it’s not surprising that the clans are inextricably linked to each other, whether for politics or business!
"As stated in the letter, Prime Minister Cao will raise troops to go south and capture Jingxiang in the near future! Today, we are taking advantage of the conference to have all the troops, so we need to make a decision as soon as possible!"

Kuai Liang put the letter in his hand on the table, and the people of the four major clans circulated it to each other.

There was a lot of discussion and shock!

Prime Minister Cao destroyed Yuan Shao and secured Liaodong. His morale was greatly boosted and his strength increased dramatically!

Jiangdong has already caused chaos in Jingzhou and made people panic!
Now that there is a giant Prime Minister Cao, Jingzhou has no choice but to execute him!
“It’s not easy for us to operate, so we must not sit back and wait for death!”

The flesh on Pang Degong's face twitched, and he looked pale due to excessive excitement and nervousness.

"The disaster in Jingzhou is right in front of us. Let's make a decision early to avoid it. The disaster is coming and it is hopeless!"

Kuai Yue finally picked up the letter, read it, threw it on the table, and stared at Cai Mao, who was sitting in the protagonist's seat!

"Prime Minister Cao, following the emperor's edict, raised troops to attack Jingzhou, which is justifiable..."

Huang Chengyan sighed. In his opinion, Jingzhou's death was already a certainty.

After Kuai Liang waited for everyone to discuss, he raised his voice and said loudly: "Today's attendees are all confidants of my four major clans, and there are no spies."

"Jingzhou's death is inevitable!"

"But how to die is debatable."

He paused, took an orange from the tea tray on the table, patted it open, and put the juicy pulp into his mouth.

"If you give up the resistance and withdraw the Jiangdong defense, Jiangdong's naval forces will arrive in Jingzhou overnight, and Jingzhou will be destroyed by Jiangdong! Or you can obey the Lord's instructions and invite Liu Bei to enter Jingzhou and lead the military and political affairs, and Jingzhou will be destroyed by Liu Bei!"

"But whether it's Jiangdong or Liu Bei, they will all be destroyed by Prime Minister Cao when his army reaches the border!"

Kuai Liang put the last orange segment into his mouth and continued: "So in my humble opinion, since I will surely die from Prime Minister Cao sooner or later, it is better to do it sooner rather than later!"

Pang Degong was shocked and asked in panic: "Do you mean to surrender directly to Prime Minister Cao? If my lord finds out, he will definitely be punished with death!"

Kuai Yue stood behind his eldest brother, and he was also very confused: "Brother, if we dare to go against the direct advice and mention surrender, I am afraid that the lord will be so angry that he will dare to kill us with one knife!"

Huang Chengyan stroked his beard and thought for a long time, then said: "What Kuai Liang said is true. He just wants to surrender to Prime Minister Cao, and Zhou Xiang's plan is needed. If it is leaked, it will be a disaster for the whole family and the whole family!"

"This matter is said to be difficult, but said to be easy, it is also very easy. The key is to look at General Cai!"

Kuai Liang stared at Cai Mao.

Liu Biao was seriously ill, and Jingzhou's military and government affairs were all in Cai Mao's hands!

As long as we get Cai Mao's support, great things will happen!
"A true man responds to the times, and he who pursues good fortune and avoids misfortune is a gentleman!"

"We can't sit back and wait for death, and the Jingzhou clan can't be slaughtered just like this!"

Cai Mao suddenly stood up and pushed the desk away!
"There is no need to alarm the lord about this matter. You and I jointly write a letter to Prime Minister Cao, stating our intention to surrender. If Prime Minister Cao comes in the future, we will appear in Jingzhou together to preserve the glory of my family!"

Cai Mao's eyes sparkled, and his murderous aura suddenly appeared!
For the benefit of the family, they have decided to betray Liu Biao!
