The Peerless God-level System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 93 Confessing the Aftermath
Jingzhou, Xiangyang Prefecture Mufu.

Liu Biao was lying on the hospital bed, his complexion was gloomy and his eyes were dull. Cai Mao was half kneeling in front of the couch, chattering endlessly about Liu Bei's daring and reckless behavior.

Fang Xu, Cai Hao was just about to get up to say goodbye when he heard a call from the doorman: "The eldest son is asking to see the lord, and he is waiting outside the door at this time."

Mrs. Cai, who had been serving at the side all the time, listened, rolled her eyes and looked at Liu Biao for a few times, then turned aside impatiently.

Liu Biao blinked his eyelids, and ordered slightly: "Send him in."

There was a sound of boots all the way, and when the door curtain opened, a pale young man walked straight in and blocked the light at the door.

Mrs. Cai didn't say a word, only heard the son shout: "Son Liu Qi came to pay respects to father and mother."

After finishing speaking, he bowed down and clasped his fists with both hands to salute Liu Biao. Liu Biao sat up with his support, his face slightly paused.

Liu Qi turned to salute Madam Cai again, muttering, "Qi'er pays respects to mother."

Mrs. Cai glanced at Liu Biao again, and said nonchalantly, "Wanli, Qi'er, what are you doing here when you're not working in the yamen? Your father is already like this, why don't you take it easy?"

"baby……"

Liu Qi was speechless and could only give up.

Liu Biao said weakly: You can't miss a few words. "

After saying this, Mrs. Cai's face turned red and white.

Liu Biao asked, "I heard that Liu Bei was defeated in Jiangxia, did you hear about it?"

"Ok!"

Liu Qi bowed and said: "The boy came here for this purpose. Uncle Liu Huang wrote to say that the five thousand Jingzhou army will not be able to attack the city, and there will be countless casualties. He is also afraid that Yuan Yao's bandits will invade Nanjun, so he continues to lead the remnants of the defeated generals and garrison in Anlu. county."

Cai Mao had already told Liu Biao about these things, but Liu Biao kept silent about it because he had some concerns.

Although Liu Bei's attack on Xiling was unfavorable, he captured Anlu and Xiaxian from Yuan Yao one after another, and re-consolidated the defenses in the east of Nanjun. It cannot be said that it was completely without credit.

"Father, this is a letter written by Uncle Liu Huang, please read it."

Liu Qi took out another letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Liu Biao respectfully. After reading it, Liu Biao's eyes lit up, his rare face was filled with joy, and he said to himself: "I knew Liu Xuande would not betray me." .”

"Cai Mao, send [-] troops from Nanjun to Qi'er, let him serve as the governor of Jiangxia, and Liu Bei will be the governor of Jiangxia, leading the army and horses to guard the gate of Nanjun."

Cai Hao's expression froze, he was greatly disappointed, and bitterly remonstrated: "My lord, absolutely not, Liu Bei has evil intentions, if he is really allowed to lead the army alone, I'm afraid it will be bad for the eldest son."

Liu's face darkened, and he looked like he was about to die again, and asked: "Then according to your opinion, who can send troops to garrison Nanxin City?"

"Zhonglang General Cai Zhong (Cai Mao's younger brother, fictitious), can lead five thousand troops and stationed in Nanxin City!"

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "Cai Zhong has to beware of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, how can he be transferred easily."

Cai Mao replied immediately: "Zuo Sima Cai Bao (Cai Mao's elder brother, fictitious), can temporarily replace Cai Zhong to resist Zhang Lu."

Liu Biao closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Didn't this Cai Bao have been imprisoned because of embezzlement of food and wages?"

"My lord's words are true, but he has already been released after serving his sentence, and he has handed over a thousand shi of rice to the treasury, so the general will decide privately to let him return to his post."

Liu Biao's eyes flashed, and he looked at Cai Mao fiercely, like an old lion king, full of pride and impatience.

"You are so brave. Cai Bao committed a capital crime. Kuai Liang has already reported the matter to me intact. You actually said that he was released after serving his sentence. Who gave you the power?"

Cai Mao was so frightened that his legs went limp, he knelt down on the ground, and begged, "My lord, Kuai Liang framed Cai Bao for this matter, my lord, please investigate!"

Liu Biao shook his head weakly, and sighed: "Liu Xuande sent troops to Xiling, why did you send an order to make him quit halfway?"

"This……"

Cai Mao's expression changed drastically, and he quickly gave Mrs. Cai a wink. If this sister doesn't say anything to help him, I'm afraid it will be bad luck today.

Although Liu Biao was bedridden, he had been the lord of Jingzhou for several years, so how could he not have left behind? If he hadn't turned a blind eye these years, Cai Mao would not have dared to be so unscrupulous.

But right now, he is about to die, and Cai Mao can't tolerate Liu Qi. After his death, how can Liu Qi live alone, now he has to release Liu Qi and let Liu Bei protect him, so as to save his life.

Never thought that Cai Hao would actually get in the way, and wantonly use his own clansmen. The wolf's heart is clearly revealed. Isn't this trying to kill the grass and roots, and is really vicious.

Seeing that Liu Biao was angry, Mrs. Cai quickly reprimanded, "Cai Mao hasn't pleaded guilty to Master Zhou, go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors, and punish you with one year's salary."

Cai Mao took advantage of the situation and knelt down and said: "The general is convicted, please forgive the mistake this time, for the sake of my sister."

"you……"

Liu Biao was out of breath and coughed for a long time before recovering, and said weakly, "I'm not going down to pass on my order, Liu Qi is Jiangxia's prefect, Liu Bei is Jiangxia's governor, stationed in Jiangxia, and protect my foundation in Jingzhou! "

Although Cai Mao was 1 unwilling, he didn't dare to say a word of "no" at this juncture, and hurriedly apologized and took his order to leave.

Watching Cai Mao go out, Liu Biao recruited Liu Qi, called him to his bed, and said in a low voice, "When you go to Jiangxia, you must fulfill your duties and do your best to protect my foundation in Jingzhou. Uncle, I have nothing to decide, you can ask him more, remember, remember."

Liu Qi looked at Liu Biao in such a state, and said with tears in his eyes: "My child will remember it, never dare to forget, father's teaching today."

"In this way, I can rest assured. Go down and prepare quickly. Without my personal military order, you can't go back to Xiangyang for half a step."

Liu Biao was doing his posthumous affairs, in case Cai Mao tricked Liu Qi into coming back and harmed him.

"Father……"

Liu Qichang knelt down and cried.

Liu Biao waved his hands and sighed: "Go, let's go, don't insult the reputation of my royal family."

After Liu Qi bowed and knelt down again and again, he burst into tears.

Xiling City, Jiangxia County.

In the lobby of the prefect's mansion, all the generals and schools in the army gathered together to discuss the plan to send troops to the state.

Li Ji remonstrated with Yuan Yao: "The situation in Jiangxia is very complicated now, it will be good or bad for us to send troops to Jiaozhou."

Yuan Yao nodded and said: "What the military adviser said is very reasonable. The more complicated it is, the more beneficial it is to us. Once Guiyang County is prepared in advance, this battle will be difficult to fight. Therefore, before entering Jiaozhou And engage in a tactical deception."

"Tactical deception?"

Li Ji asked: "My lord, you mean to attack Nanjun openly and attack Guiyang secretly?"

Yuan Yao nodded his head heavily, and said in a deep voice, "Back then, Han Xin played tricks on repairing plank roads and crossing Chencang secretly, helping Liu Bang to settle Guanzhong in one fell swoop. Today, we also give him an open attack on Nanjun and a secret attack on Guiyang!"

"Attack Nanjun openly, and attack Guiyang secretly?"

Gao Chong worried, "My lord, if we get into a stalemate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out."

According to what Yuan Yao meant, he wanted to make a fuss about Liu Bei and implement the tactics of making a fuss. The problem is that Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei are not good at recommending them.

"Gao Chong, you are worrying too much."

Yuan Yao waved his hand, and said calmly: "Liu Bei first entered Jiangxia, what can he fight with us, unless he has someone behind him to support him, but Liu Biao is seriously ill, and the military power in Jingzhou is in the hands of Cai Mao, Cai Mao is afraid that it will be difficult for him to tolerate him."

Li Ji nodded and said: "My lord, what you said is true. If you station troops in Xiling and send people here to reclaim wasteland, and show your determination to defend Xiling, how dare Liu Bei not guard against it, and how dare the Jingzhou army not be afraid."
