Beast King Three Kingdoms

() (Seeking collection, asking for recommendation, asking for reward.)

It is said that Cai Mao was defeated and fled, with less than a thousand followers, most of them were fighters Cai Mao's personal soldiers.

After escaping from birth, Cai Mao felt very sad. He knew that he might have no future in the future. After experiencing this big defeat, Liu Biao would never use him again, even if it was for his untrained sister. <The wind is proud.

Leading the remnant soldiers back to the Chinese army, seeing Liu Biao, Cai Hao seemed to have completely resigned to his fate, did not hide anything, and completely told the process of the defeat.

Liu Biao was dumbfounded. He never expected that the entire 1000 vanguard army was wiped out before he arrived, and less than [-] people escaped.

"Isn't Yuan Shu's army too powerful?" Liu Biao felt a little regretful in his heart, how happy he was to be his local emperor in the south of the Yangtze River, and he insisted on provoking Yuan Shu, so that he lost his troops and generals. No matter how he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable.

Kuai Liang was also taken aback. He had thought that Cai Mao would lose. After all, he participated in the last Xiangyang battle and knew Wenpin's ability very well. With Cai Mao's talent, he was definitely not Wenpin's opponent.

Kuai Liang also thought about Cai Mao's defeat, but he never thought that Cai Mao's entire army would be wiped out.

"Cai Mao, I clearly told him, but the whole army was wiped out. It's a pile of mud that can't support the wall!" As for the hundreds of people who fled back, Kuai Liang chose to forget.

Compared with the [-] army, the mere hundreds of people are like the contrast between the stream and the sea. In Kuai Liang's view, whether these hundreds of people come back or not has no effect at all.

Liu Biao collected himself, and looked at Cai Mao with gloomy eyes.

Although Liu Biao is a non-aggressive rabbit, it doesn't mean he has no temper. As the saying goes, rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry. Now this fake rabbit is completely in a hurry.

Cai Mao's entire army was wiped out, which was unforgivable in Liu Biao's view.

"Degui (Cai Maozi)! You were defeated by Sun Jian a while ago. I remembered the old feelings and never punished you. But today you have completely destroyed [-] vanguard soldiers and horses. I can't tolerate it anymore." Liu Biao said in a deep voice.

"Ah!" With a dark sigh, Cai Mao lowered his head and said, "The last general is at the disposal of the lord."

Liu Biao glanced at Cai Mao, thinking of his unmarried wife (Cai Mao's younger sister), he couldn't help hesitating.

In fact, Cai Hao's younger sister was supposed to get married earlier this year, but it was postponed because Liu Biao was preparing to go on an expedition. Of course, a hasty wedding is okay, but the Cai family will never agree. After all, they are a prominent family in Jingzhou, and a simple wedding will affect the image of the family. The family naturally cannot accept it.

At this time, Liu Biao was not hesitant to punish Cai Mao, the punishment was certain, after all, his fault this time was too great, and he lost an entire [-] troops, not punishing would not be enough to convince the crowd.

What Liu Biao hesitated was whether he should be punished heavily or lightly.

When Liu Biao was struggling, he heard Kuai Liang suddenly say: "Master! Although General Cai made mistakes, there are reasons for forgiveness. My lord should be aware of Yuan Jun's fighting strength, and that Wenpin is a great general. Cai The general's defeat was indeed expected, and I hope the lord will give him a lighter punishment."

In normal times, Kuai Liang would have liked Cai Mao to die, but now that Liu Biao wants to fight Yuan Shu, Cai Mao has become an indispensable figure.

Liu Biao himself was a literati, so it was inevitable that he valued literature over martial arts. In Jingzhou, where there is great promise, only Cai Hao and Zhang Yun can be regarded as generals, and the rest were either buried or left elsewhere.

If Liu Biao deposes Cai Mao, then they really have no one to use. As for Zhang Yun, he is not even as good as Cai Mao.

Without a general, it would be a joke to fight against Yuan Shu, let alone attack Xiangyang.

Neither Liu Biao nor Cai Mao expected that Kuai Liang would stand up and intercede. Not to mention the relationship between Kuai and Cai, even their personal friendship was not very good, and it could even be said that they had a bad relationship.

The two stared blankly at Kuai Liang, and were stunned on the spot for a moment.

"Cough cough!"

Kuai Liang let out a dry cough, and Liu Biao and Cai Mao suddenly woke up, with embarrassment flashing across their faces.

"The Lord is going to attack Xiangyang, and General Cai will be punished for his crimes and meritorious deeds. In this way, it is the best of both worlds." Kuai Liang said expressionlessly.

Cai Mao glanced at Kuai Liang gratefully, then turned to Liu Biao, full of expectations.

Liu Biao nodded, he didn't want to punish Cai Mao severely, it was because of his unmarried wife, but he also had some scruples about the huge power of the Cai family, now that Kuai Liang interceded, it was equivalent to giving him a step up, just sleepy and giving him a pillow.

Immediately, Liu Biao pretended to say to Cai Mao, "You should have been punished heavily for your fault, but because Zirou interceded, I will punish you with a year's salary, allowing you to take the crime and make meritorious service. If you lose again in a few days, you will be punished for both crimes."

"Thank you, my lord!" Cai Mao thanked him with great joy.

A one-year fine for Cai Mao is nothing more than a drizzle. The Cai family may not have other things, but there is a lot of money and food. Let alone a year's salary, Cai Mao doesn't care about ten or twenty years. The important thing is Liu Biao's attitude. Being able to allow him to commit crimes and meritorious deeds shows that he has not completely given up on him.

Thinking of this, the extinguished flame in Cai Mao's heart suddenly rekindled.

After experiencing ups and downs, Cai Mao almost collapsed, even so, he did not forget to thank Kuai Liang.

This time Kuai Liang helped him a lot, otherwise even if Liu Biao showed mercy, it would be difficult for him to succeed in the future.

Cai Mao was sincerely grateful to Kuai Liang, and bowed deeply: "Brother Kuai speaks out of righteousness, Mao is extremely grateful, and will definitely repay in the future."

Although Kuai Liang looked down on Cai Mao, he had already identified Liu Biao, so he would have to cooperate with Cai Mao in the future. After all, Cai Mao and Liu Biao were in-laws, and the relationship was much closer than him.

"General Cai doesn't have to be like this. We both serve the Lord, and we should work together." Kuai Liangqiang forced a smile and said to Cai Mao.

Cai Mao didn't see the reluctance of Kuai Liang's smile, and said in admiration, "Brother Kuai is magnanimous, and Mao deeply admires him."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two of them dispersed and returned to the book.

The vanguard army was wiped out, the news spread, and the soldiers were panicked.

Not to mention those ordinary soldiers, even Liu Biao began to waver, hesitating whether to withdraw his troops.

Liu Biao is now in his fifties, he has reached the age of knowing his destiny, he does not know how many years he will have to live, he is really powerless to fight for world hegemony, and his character is not suitable for competing with others.

After Kuai Liang knew what Liu Biao was thinking, he asked back, "Your Majesty has millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River, which is indeed enough to resist Yuan Shu. Don't worry, but how should the descendants of your Majesty deal with themselves?"

Liu Biao was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.

Seeing this, Kuai Liang didn't bother, and waited quietly.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Biao sighed and said, "That's all, that's all! I'll fight for it. Whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will, so future generations can't blame me."

What these words said seemed to be just to deal with it, so as not to let future generations criticize, Kuai Liang frowned when he heard it.

Wanting to persuade, but thinking of Liu Biao's character, he finally gave up.

"Oh! God's will tricks people!" No wonder Kuai Liang lamented that Liu Biao was indeed talented and capable, but he had no ambitions and was a little too old.

If Liu Biao had ambitions, he would definitely become the overlord at a younger age.

After the agreement, Liu Biao led his army straight to Jingshan, camped at Cai Mao's previous Dazhai, and confronted Wenpin.

At the same time, an important 'guest' was also ushered in in the Wenpin Camp.
