Hand over military power?

Hearing Kuai Liang's words, Cai Mao was like an electric shock, and surrendering military power was tantamount to killing Cai Mao.

"This..." Cai Mao mumbled subconsciously.

But before Cai Mao could speak again, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue also shook their heads and left on their own.

After a long while, Cai Mao came back to his senses and then quickly walked towards the direction of Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.

Quickly came to the study, Cai Mao found an empty seat and sat down.

"Brother Degui, if you persist in your obsession, you may lose your family and your life." Kuai Liang added another sentence, and then the brothers discussed in a low voice.

If Cai Mao still had a glimmer of fantasy just now, then Kuai Liang's words completely shattered the last glimmer of fantasy in Cai Mao's heart.

"Hey!" Cai Mao let out a long sigh.

The two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue who asked the question looked at each other and smiled. Facing the powerful Meng Chen, they had no choice but to surrender completely.

In the following time, the three of them discussed again, and then dispersed.

Although Meng Chen came to Xiangyang with thousands of troops, Cai Mao and others did not have the courage to rebel.

Guan Yu and other fierce generals were all captured by Meng Chen, and no one in Jingzhou could stop the Xiliang army anymore.

At this point, the Cai family and the Kuai family can only completely rely on Meng Chen, and they can't have distracting thoughts, otherwise, the result can be imagined!

Mengchen defeated Cao Cao and took Jingzhou, and now the situation has formed a dominant family.

Sending troops to Jiangdong is only a matter of time!
Early the next morning, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue arrived at Mengchen's temporary residence early.

"We will pay homage to the lord!" The three of them said in unison just after seeing Meng Chen.

"The three of you came so early, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, so let's go together when you're here, these chopsticks are not bad!"

Meng Chen said something casually, but my words had a different meaning in the two of three.

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were better, but Cai Mao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"My lord..." Cai Mao hurriedly opened his mouth, but was stopped by Meng Chen.

"Eat first, then talk after eating!"

After speaking, a servant brought meals to share with everyone.Breakfast is very simple, a bowl of porridge, an egg, a plate of pickles and two steamed buns!
It is a traditional Chinese virtue to eat without speaking. In addition, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue were a little restrained in front of Meng Chen, so no one said anything after the meal.

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Meng Chen burped, he had already cleaned up all the breakfast.

Instead, the other three just drank a bowl of gruel.

"De Gui, what did you report just now?" Meng Chen turned his head and asked.

Hearing the words, Cai took a clever look, got up and said immediately: "My subordinates have compiled the situation of the 18 troops in Jingzhou into a book, and please have a look at it, my lord."

After finishing his speech, Cai Mao handed over the things he had sorted out overnight, and at the same time handed in the soldier talisman that can mobilize soldiers and horses.

Meng Chen flipped through it roughly, these things are completely dispensable, but Cai Mao's move of handing over the military talisman made Meng Chen look at it with admiration.

"The Marquis has a general understanding of the situation, and now we will continue to focus on reorganization, so as to increase the combat power of the army."

"Degui doesn't have to worry, there is still a place for Degui in the navy."

After two consecutive sentences, Meng Chen handed over the general's power. Since Cai Maozhi advanced and retreated, Meng Chen also wanted to give him a certain status.

Hearing this, Cai Mao was relieved, and gratefully glanced at the two brothers of the Kuai family.

"My lord, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan will arrive in two days." Before Cai Mao returned, he gave back to Meng Chen what he had arranged yesterday.

Meng Chen nodded in satisfaction, what he wanted was Cai Mao's attitude.

"By the way, where is Degui's Wenpin now? I heard from my uncle that I heard about Wancheng." Mengcheng asked suddenly.

"I went to Changsha County and haven't returned yet!"

"When you come back, the Marquis must meet you."

Meng Chen laughed. Although he didn't say it clearly, Cai Mao had a premonition that Wenpin would be reused.

Cai Mao let out a sigh of relief, that's fine, after all, Wenpin was single-handedly selected, and if he becomes prosperous in the future, he, Cai Mao, will also benefit from it.

Cai Mao handed over the military power, but the two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue mainly handed over the political power.

The roster of officials in Jingzhou, as well as the treasury money and food, etc., made Meng Chen feel like a big number.

In order not to lose face for the two of them, Meng Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and listen.

"My lord, the above is the situation of the counties and counties in Jingzhou." Kuai Yue made the final statement, making Meng Chen feel as if he had been pardoned.

"Jingzhou is really rich, and it's not worse than Jizhou!" Meng Chen laughed again, and those numbers were not recorded at all.

"Mr. Lao Zirou and Yidu conveyed the order of the Marquis. It is inconvenient for civil and military officials in Jingzhou. The salary will be raised by three levels, and the common people will be exempted from taxes for three years!"

"My lord is wise!"

"Degui, starting tomorrow, we will cooperate with Liu Rengui to reorganize the navy for future use."

"Here!" The three of them agreed in unison, and it was a big event.

Just at this time, the personal guard informed the Ma family in Jingzhou to come to see him.

Not long after, the handsome young man appeared in front of Meng Chen.

Looking at the person in front of him, Meng Chen suddenly said to himself: "Ma Liang with white eyebrows!"

That's right, the person who came was Ma Liang, and today he came under the banner of the Ma family, mainly to intercede for Zhuge Liang.

"Ma Liang sees the general!"

Meng Chen nodded, he still knew the reason of Ma Liang's visit.

"Zhuge Liang was sent to be imprisoned in Wancheng by the Marquis. Ji Chang can visit him by himself."

Ma Liang didn't expect that before he could open his mouth, Meng Chen's words caught him, and he froze on the spot for a while, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Kuai Liang hurriedly said: "Ji Chang, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you thank the general."

Hearing the words, Ma Liang just woke up like a dream, so he hastily bowed to salute.

"Well, you Ma Jichang, are you stupid in reading?"

The next moment, Pang Tong's abuse came, and Ma Liang's face turned red.

At the beginning, Pang Tong persuaded Ma Liang to go to Mengchen together, but Ma Liang refused under the influence of Zhuge Liang.

Right now, Pang Tong's status around Meng Chen is increasing day by day, such a stark contrast makes Ma Liang feel a little ashamed.

The reason why Pang Tong appeared here was because he heard that Ma Liang came here alone, so he hurried over regardless of his tired body.

"Shi Yuan, Ji Chang just wanted to visit Zhuge Liang, and this Marquis has already agreed." Meng Chen spoke, knowing that Pang Tong's scolding was to protect Ma Liang.

"Huh!" Pang Tong took a deep breath, glared at Ma Liang, and then saluted Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue.

With Pang Tong joining, the following conversation will be much easier, at least Meng Chen no longer worries about those numbers.

The arrival of Pang Tong means that the Xiliang army has arrived in Xiangyang, and from this moment on, the whole Jingzhou has completely changed.
