Demon of the Three Kingdoms

On the day of the autumn harvest, Lu Rui held a grand wedding for Cao Zhen at the general's mansion in Moling.Cao Zhen marries Bu Zhi's younger sister, Bu Lianshi, and Yangzhou civil and military officials gather at General Moling's mansion to congratulate Cao Zhen.

At this time, in the prefect's mansion of Yuzhang, Sun Quan was drinking alone. Sun Quan raided Yuzhang Shanyue, causing Yuzhang Shanyue to flee to the southern border of Jiaozhou. After returning to Xiangyang, Sun Quan became nervous, and quickly sent Lu Su as an envoy to Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao.

In Liu Biao's mansion in Xiangyang, Liu Biao's confidants, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun discussed major military and political affairs in Liu Biao's study.

"My subordinates congratulate the general for pacifying Jingnan and becoming the overlord of Jingzhou!" Kuai Yue stood up first and congratulated Liu Biao for pacifying Jingnan.Liu Biao's flattening of Jingzhou only achieved the position of the prefect of Jingzhou, and the pacification of Jingnan is a sign that Liu Biao is the lord of Jingzhou, and the edict can be spread throughout Jingzhou!

"En." Liu Biao nodded.

"Yidu, when I left Xiangyang, what happened to Liu Bei?" Although Liu Biao took Liu Bei in, he still guarded against Liu Bei, and only provided Liu Bei with the necessary defensive supplies to defend against Cao Cao in Xudu. As for other aspects , just say one thing, do another thing.

"Reporting to my lord, please don't worry, my lord. Liu Bei just came to the general's mansion many times to ask for a surprise attack on Xudu, but his subordinates persuaded him to leave because the lord is not in Xiangyang."

"Zi Rou, what do you think about this?" Liu Biao glanced at Kuai Liang.

"My lord, my lord has just pacified Jingnan, and my vitality has not yet recovered. Cao Cao led the Central Plains and the new Yangzhou. Even Yuan Shao was defeated by him. If our army attacks the Central Plains at this time, it will definitely hurt its vitality. I am afraid it will give Liu Bei a chance There is a loophole."

"Well, what Zirou said is reasonable. So how does Zirou think our army should deal with the situation in the world?"

"My lord, in the past, my lord and Sun Jian had a grudge. The so-called enemy should be resolved rather than tied. It's not as if my lord proposed to marry Sun Quan and form a family to protect Jingzhou together."

"Zi Rou means to let Liu Bei be the barrier to the north and Sun Quan to be the barrier to the east to protect Jingzhou?"

"Exactly, my lord, Jingzhou Wufu Minfeng, as long as the lord works hard, within five years, Jingzhou will be able to surpass the Central Plains. When the time comes, the lord will march westward and seize Xichuan, and he will surely achieve great things."

"But Zirou, Sun Jian died at the hands of Huang Zu?" Liu Biao stroked his beard.He glanced at Kuai Liang.

"My lord, since Huang Zu is the murderer who killed Sun Jian, then we can put all the crimes on Huang Zu, then hand Huang Zu over to Sun Quan, and then marry Sun Quan. At that time, Sun Quan may have nothing to say. .” Kuai Liang made a suggestion.

As soon as Kuai Liang's words fell, the atmosphere in the room changed. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun showed strange eyes, while Liu Biao looked at the four of them, his eyes kept rolling.Jingzhou is also controlled by the wealthy family. Liu Biao took control of Jingzhou by virtue of his marriage with the Cai family, but it does not mean that Liu Biao will compromise with the wealthy family. It is a wise monarch's choice to suppress the noble family.

"Zirou, if we deal with Huang Zu, I'm afraid the Jingzhou family will be dissatisfied, should we take a long-term plan?"

As soon as Cai Mao's words came out, Kuai Liang laughed. As a new family in Jingzhou, Cai Mao's strength is relatively weak. Cai Mao controlled part of the military power in Jingzhou by virtue of his ability to command the navy. Wen's marriage formed the Cai family in Jingzhou today.

Compared with the Pang family, Huang family, and Wang family, the Cai family has the fewest slaves and fields. If it were not tied to Liu Biao, the Jingzhou shepherd appointed by the court, I am afraid that they would not have a good life.Liu Biao also put his mind to win over the Jingzhou aristocratic family, marrying the weakest aristocratic family to make it easier for him to control.

The Cai family is the weakest family, so Cai Mao must want to attack the powerful Huang family and expand the strength of his own family.

"Degui don't have to worry, I have a plan to let Huang Zu die at the hands of Sun Quan, so that Sun Quan can form an alliance with our army without any enmity!"

"What's Zirou's plan?"

"Degui, I heard that Sun Quan in Yuzhang sent an envoy Lu Su to come. I rely on you to see that Sun Quan wants to form an alliance with our army. Our army only needs to borrow a knife to kill people, so that Huang Zu can die at the hands of Sun Quan. , we can form an alliance with Sun Quan, but the person who contacts Sun Quan must be Degui!"

"This...?" Cai Mao is the head of the Cai family, so he naturally knows the power of it. As Liu Biao's confidant, Kuai Liang must have put someone beside Huang Zu. When the time comes, as long as he reveals the marching route, Huang Zu The ancestor himself is hard to protect, and Sun Quan can easily kill Huang Zu, but Cai Hao is a little uncomfortable to be the messenger himself. Doesn't this mean that he knows it is a trap and wants to jump into it?

"Degui, I'm going to trouble you with this matter." Cai Mao is Liu Biao's brother-in-law, it's best for him to come forward!

"Promise!" Liu Biao said, what else could he do, he could only agree.

On the second day, Cai Mao came to the inn where Lu Su was staying, and after having a secret conversation with Lu Su for several hours, he left. Lu Su did not stay long in Xiangyang, but returned to Yuzhang immediately.

After hearing Lu Su's report, Sun Quan touched his temple and thought about it quietly. There are too many things that have happened recently. After being accepted by Cao Cao, Bu Shi, whom he was supposed to take as a concubine, also became Mrs. Cao Zhen. Sun Quan hadn't slept well for several days. Hearing Lu Su's report this time, Sun Quan had to think carefully. If Liu Biao also Come to a Mingxiu plank road to secretly store Chen Cang, and I will lose my old foundation!

"Zijing, tell me, is this Liu Biao's plan?"

"My lord, what do you mean Liu Biao also wants to use Mingxiu plank road to secretly hide Chen Cang?"

"Not bad!"

"Your Majesty, worry too much. Although our army was raided by Cao Cao and lost Yangzhou, Liu Biao's current situation is not very good. If Liu Biao turns against our army again and Cao Cao's army goes south, Jingzhou will not be safe. If Cao Cao wins Jingzhou, The general trend of the world will belong to Cao Cao, and Liu Biao will not give away his inheritance." Lu Su analyzed the situation of the world's princes and made suggestions to Sun Quan.

"Well, what Zijing said is reasonable." Sun Quan integrated the general situation of the world again, and felt that if Liu Biao attacked him, he would be digging his own grave. Liu Biao would never be such a stupid person.

"Okay, Zijing. We will act according to Liu Biao's plan. Also, if we marry Liu Biao and Liu Biao has two sons, who should we marry?" Cai Mao had already expressed to Lu Su that he would marry Sun Quan's sister Sun Shi (the legendary Sun Shi) Gong Yaoji) married Liu Biao's son, and the two families became related by marriage.

"My lord, this subordinate thinks that Miss Liu Cong should be married!" Sun was playing in the city when Lu Rui raided Moling, but was rescued by Zhang Zhao and brought back to Yuzhang!

"Why Liu Biao's second son?"

"My lord, Liu Cong is Cai Mao's nephew. He was born in a Jingzhou family. The Jingzhou family must support him to succeed Liu Biao. Cai Mao holds the military power in Jingzhou. This talent is our target!"

"Okay, according to Zijing's words, I will leave this matter to Zijing. By the way, don't tell Gongjin about this matter. After Gongjin returns to Yuzhang, this general will explain it to Gongjin in person!"

"My subordinates understand!" In order to consolidate his military power, Sun Quan sent Zhou Yu to encircle and suppress Shanyue on the border of Jiaozhou. (to be continued..)
