Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 520 The Change of Jingxiang
Putting aside the heavy snowfall in Liaozhou for the time being, let’s just talk about Liu Biao in Jingzhou. I want to inherit the throne of King Chu...

"How's the old stuff?"

Seeing Mrs. Cai coming out of Liu Biao's bedroom, Cai Mao hurriedly asked.

Mrs. Cai shook her head and said: "The old man is depressed, I'm afraid he won't be able to last for a few days!"

"Then did he ever make a will, who will succeed the king of Chu?"

Cai Mao asked again.

"When the old man was still not confused, he kept wanting to see Liu Qi. I guess he wanted Liu Qi to inherit the throne of King Chu!"

Madam Cai guessed.

Cai Mao snorted in dissatisfaction: "This old man actually wants Liu Qi, that little bastard, to inherit the throne of King Chu. Hehe, it's a dream!"

Cai Mao had been peeping at Jingxiang for a long time, how could it be possible for the nine counties of Jingxiang to fall into the hands of Liu Qi and Liu Qi.

"Brother, you can't take it lightly! Then Liu Qi also has the support of many local gentry in Jingzhou!"

Mrs. Cai naturally wanted her son Liu Zong to inherit the throne of King Chu. After all, a mother is more expensive than a child. Once Liu Zong became the King of Chu, she would be the Queen Mother of Chu.

However, Cai Hao didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Hehe, there is a group of literati who support it. I have 20 of Jingzhou's 15 army. Without the support of the army, Liu Qi is an ass! The reporter said that my Cai family is the largest family in Xiangyang, and the only ones who can compete with my Cai family are the Huang family, the Pang family and the Kuai family. I can't figure out what they mean!"

After Cai Mao's analysis, Mrs. Cai said: "Okay, as long as you support my son to the position of King Chu, then this Jingzhou is our Cai family's decision!"

"You don't need to say more about this. Just keep an eye on Liu Biao these few days. Don't let anyone see Liu Biao. When he dies, we will support Zong'er to succeed him. With the support of 15 troops, let me see who dares to oppose me!"

After Cai Hao gave Madam Cai instructions, he turned and left to prepare for Liu Zong's succession.

However, he, Cai Mao, has calculated everything and tried his best to obtain Liu Biao's foundation, but how could Liu Biao be defenseless against him.

"Get out of the way! Although I am not the eldest son, I am the eldest son of my father. Do I need the consent of a watchdog like you when I go in and visit him!"

In front of the Chu Palace, Liu Qi cursed at the guards guarding the gate.

"My lord, you really can't go in. Princess Chu has an order. Without her summoning, no one is allowed to enter Chu Palace without authorization!"

The guards guarding the gate did not dare to let Liu Qi in, they could only beg bitterly.

"Get out of the way, I will naturally explain when I see my concubine, if you stop me again, don't blame me for punishing you for the crime you committed!"

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Liu Qi also became angry, glared at the guard, and pulled out the long sword at his waist, wanting to be violent.

"Hehe, I thought it was someone making noise outside the door, it turned out to be Qi'er!"

Just when Liu Qi couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to force his way in, Mrs. Cai came to the gate of the palace with her maid.

"Having seen the mother, the child wants to see the father!"

When Liu Qi saw Mrs. Cai, although he was angry, he didn't dare to be rude, so he could only speak to Mrs. Cai according to his temper.

"Didn't they tell you that the King of Chu is now comatose, no one is allowed to enter, even this princess has a limit on the number of times she can see the King of Chu every day! You should go back!"

Mrs. Cai flicked her hand at Liu Qi, signaling Liu Qi to leave.

Liu Qi was unwilling to leave, and begged bitterly, only to see Liu Biao.

"Hmph! Don't you understand what I'm saying? Or do you have other plans!"

Mrs. Cai got impatient when she saw Liu Qi's rambling, so she reprimanded: "I see that your father is a fake, you want to inherit the throne of King Chu!"

"Mother, the child really wants nothing else but to see his father!"

Even though Liu Qi was scolded, he remained unmoved and continued to beg Mrs. Cai.

"Boom him away!"

After Madam Cai gave the order to the guards, she turned to Liu Qi and said, "You should give up on me. Let me tell you, you will not inherit the throne of King Chu. My son Liu Zong is the next King of Chu. You can ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, and you, if you know your senses, you can still live, but if you don’t know your senses, then you will die!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Cai walked into the mansion with her maid, and the guards of the palace kept persuading Liu Qi to leave.

Liu Qi lowered his head, turned around and walked towards the opposite direction of the palace. After passing a corner, Liu Qi suddenly raised his head, and then with a cold look in his eyes, he said: "Since you are so ruthless, then Don't blame me for being unrighteous, if I can't get it, you can't get it either!"

After speaking, Liu Qi left quickly.

Three days later, Wancheng.

"Brother, there is news from Xiangyang! There is also a letter from Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi!"

Zhang Fei ran into the house from outside and said loudly to Liu Bei.

"Bring it to me!"

Liu Bei took the letter from Liu Qi to himself, opened it, read it carefully several times, and laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, God help me too!"

"Brother, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Liu Bei was so happy, Zhang Fei asked.

"You'll know in a while, hurry up and get Yun Chang and the others, I have something important to announce!"

Liu Bei urged Zhang Fei.

"Yes!"

Zhang Fei ran out quickly again, and after a while, all the officials under Liu Bei came to the Wancheng County Yamen.

"See your lord!"

All the generals under Liu Bei saluted Liu Bei.

"You are free!"

Liu Bei waved his hand, and then said: "You are all welcome, I have summoned you here today to discuss something important!"

Sun Qian asked, "Master, what's the matter?"

Liu Bei passed the letter in his hand, and then said to them: "Now that Liu Biao is critically ill, we can take this opportunity to go south and take Jingzhou as our foundation!"

Jian Yong said: "My lord, although Liu Biao is critically ill, there are more than [-] armored people in Jingzhou. It may not be easy to take Jingzhou as the foundation!"

"Hehe, Xianhe, why did Liu Qi write to me to inform me of Liu Biao's critical illness? That's because both Liu Qi and Liu Zong wanted to win the throne of Chu, but Liu Zong had the support of his uncle Cai Mao, and Liu Zong We have no one to rely on, and if we want to find a backer, we can cooperate with Liu Qi and take Jingzhou, as for how to deal with Liu Qi after taking Jingzhou, that is another story!"

Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Well, my lord has a good plan!"

Jian Yong answered.

"Sun Qian, you are now disguised and sneaked into Xiangyang secretly, meet with Liu Qi, and discuss how we can help him!"

"Here!"
