Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 97
dark night
The fall of night is a good time to do bad things, after all, the night is the best cover.

Jingzhou City, in Caifu
There are more than ten people gathered in the study room, if Liu Qi is here, it is not difficult to find that all the generals of the city guard army gathered here, except for him and the deputy commander, the rest of the city guard army generals are there , even the two generals whose buttocks were beaten to pieces were there.

"General Cai He, why did you agree to Liu Qi's request today? You must know that the third request is to suppress us and take the control of the city guard from our hands!" A general stood up, Said.

"That's right, Liu Qi just returned to Jingzhou, but relying on Liu Biao's status to take the position of commander of the city guards, he dared to attack us. If things go on like this, we will definitely lose prestige in the city guards. There is no room for us to speak in the slow city guard!" said a general who was lying on his stomach.

There was also a general lying on his stomach beside him, who also nodded in agreement.

The two of them were the ones who didn't wear armor during the day, but Liu Qi took the opportunity to drag them out to punish them. If they were the ones who wanted revenge on Liu Qi the most, they were none other than them!
"Hmph!" Cai He snorted, and said, "How could I not know that Liu Qi wanted the control of the city guards, and the reason why he agreed was just a delay. Now Liu Qi, as the commander of the city guards, is my boss. He made it clear that he didn't want to discuss with us, so he made a decision directly, and if he didn't agree, Liu Qi would be caught for disobedience, and he would be kicked out of the city guard!"

Hearing this, the rest of the generals also fell silent. After all, what Cai He said was reasonable. It is obvious that Liu Qi's attitude today is to want them to disagree. .

"Haha, what my brother said is right. Sometimes it is not necessarily a bad thing to take a step back. You must know that we have been in the city guard army for so long, and many of them are our cronies. Even if we report the truth, Liu Qi wants to take over the city guard quickly. The army is also impossible, and the control is still in my hands, so what if I let Liu Qi be majestic once or twice!" A person sitting in the main seat clapped his hands and laughed.

From the looks of everyone, it was Cai Mao and Cai Degui, the current person in charge of the Cai Mansion, the commander of the Jingzhou Navy.

"Lord Cai, don't we just watch like this, and don't make some countermeasures?" A general who was lying on his stomach was obviously not reconciled to such an arrangement.

To know when he had been treated like this, he had to lie down for at least a week due to this injury, and if he didn't take revenge on Liu Qi, he couldn't vent his anger.

Cai Mao's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said: "Of course it doesn't count like this. Liu Qi's actions obviously hurt the foundation of our Jingzhou gentry. Not only me, but even the rest of the gentry are unwilling to let Liu Qi go on like this. Otherwise, as time goes by, All the forces in Jingzhou will be controlled by Liu Qi, and our life and death will be in his mind!"

"Then, what should I do?"

The generals of the city guard army also started to panic. They only thought about the power in their hands before, and they were not willing to let Liu Qi control the city guard army. They didn't think so much at all. Now it seems that they all think too much not enough.

"Everyone, there is no need to panic too much. After all, this is just my guess, and even if it is, it is impossible for Liu Qi to deal with it in a day or two, so I still have time." Cai Mao paused , and continued: "Now that Liu Qi's new official has taken office, the threat is coming. Let's temporarily avoid the edge during this period. At the right time, we can counterattack Liu Qi and suppress Liu Qi. Then everything will be as before!"

"Everything is according to Mr. Cai's orders!" All the generals clasped their hands.

Cai Mao nodded and said, "I'm only thinking about the interests of all the gentry in Jingzhou. You go back and be patient for a while, and follow Liu Qi's orders. You must not let him find any reason to deal with you!"

"No!" The generals stood up and cupped their hands.

Cai He also sent the comrades of the city guards out of the Cai Mansion, and returned to the study, only to see Cai Mao drinking tea leisurely.

"Is there something you don't understand?" Cai Mao asked.

"Brother, I really don't understand something!" Cai He said.

He knew some things, so when Cai Mao was talking to those generals just now, he didn't interrupt. Some things hadn't come to light yet, otherwise he wouldn't have made various concessions in front of Liu Qi.

Cai Mao took a sip of his tea and said, "I would not have believed Liu Qi's actions if he hadn't received Liu Biao's support; when Liu Biao came to Jingzhou, it was because of my help that he was able to quickly take over Jingzhou. Now Jingzhou has entered a stable state. , Liu Biao wants to replace the power in the hands of us and other gentry, this is not a matter of a day or two, but Liu Biao is weak, so he has not acted for a long time!"

Cai He also nodded in agreement, he also knew this, otherwise, some nobles who did not want to be controlled would not rely on their Cai family, headed by their Cai family, so as to resist Liu Biao's erosion.

Then he said: "Brother, don't tell me, but don't forget, Liu Biao still has some background in his hands. Wenpin, the general guarding Jingbei, is loyal to Liu Biao, and the meaning of the Kuai family is also unclear!"

"It is also because of this that Liu Biao has the idea of ​​crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. However, Liu Biao has a hole in his hand, but it doesn't mean we don't have it. You must know that there is still a Nanyang prefect in Jingzhou." Cai Mao said thoughtfully.

"Prefect of Nanyang? Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu?" Cai He asked in surprise.

"That's right, although Yuan Shu, as the prefect of Nanyang, is not stationed in Nanyang, but in Shouchun, but this name is enough, and now the world is in chaos, I don't believe Yuan Shu is a peaceful person!" Cai Mao Said.

Cai He frowned, and said, "Well, if Yuan Shu disagrees with this and reports to Liu Biao, Liu Biao will take action even if we have a mutual loss, right?"

"Yuan Shu will agree!" Cai Mao said confidently.

"Why?" Cai He was puzzled.

Cai Mao just smiled and didn't answer. He knew there was only one reason, Yuan Shu could not refuse him, and he would definitely help him.

"Since the eldest brother is so confident, if we can get Yuan Shu's support, we don't have to keep hiding it. Even if Liu Biao asks Wenpin from Jingbei to lead the army back, we will have no fear!" Cai He said.

Cai Hao waved his hand and said, "Now we still lack an opportunity, and we are still short of something. After all, I can't take the position of state pastor."

Cai He also understood the meaning of Cai Mao's words, and looked at Cai Mao.

The two looked at each other, and then burst out laughing. Now it seems that there is only one opportunity missing. As long as they succeed, Jingzhou will be under the control of their Cai family and become the number one gentry in Jingzhou.
