There is no need to talk about this kind of thing in the future. What I want now is to expand the military power. As long as the military power is in hand, my nephew will definitely inherit the position of Lord of Jingzhou in the future.

Hmph, at that time, my Cai family will become the largest family in Xiangyang, and I can also exercise the power of the lord of Jingzhou. "

Finally, Cai Mao rejected the suggestion of his subordinates. Although he was arrogant and interested in the current situation, he did not lose his mind after all.

There was an elusive look of disappointment in this subordinate's eyes. From the very beginning, he bewitched Cai Mao to rebel, but Cai Mao just didn't agree.

Until now, Cai Mao clearly opposed it, that is to say, Cai Hao did not want to become the lord of Jingzhou, he just wanted to expand his power.

From this point of view, Cai Mao's mind is quite different from the rumors outside. He didn't intend to murder Liu Biao, let alone replace him.

A few days later, in Changsha City, Liu Bei was walking back and forth in the hall. These days, through Zhuge Liang's planning, he has gained a foothold and captured the southern part of Jingzhou.

Even an important place like Changsha is under his control. It can be said that he, Liu Bei, has only looked like a prince until now.

After getting so much, Liu Bei was not satisfied, because Zhuge Liang was planning a bigger thing for him. If he succeeded, he would be able to occupy the entire Jingzhou in a legitimate way.

"My lord, my lord, good news, good news, Liu Biao sent someone to deliver a letter."

Zhuge Liang walked into the hall with a smile, holding a secret letter in his hand. It seemed that his smile had a lot to do with this secret letter.

Liu Bei hurried forward to snatch the secret letter, and then read it carefully. After reading it, the anxious expression on his face turned into an excited expression, but soon, he was a little puzzled.

"Hey, Kong Ming, the letter only asks me to lead [-] soldiers and horses to Xiangyang. If there are only [-] soldiers and horses, how can I..."

"Hahaha, don't worry, my lord. All we need is an excuse to go to Xiangyang. Although Liu Biao only asked us to lead [-] people, we still need to recruit a lot of civilians, don't we?"

"Yes, yes, we still need civilian husbands. After all, food and supplies need civilian husbands to be transported. Ahem, Kong Ming, Liu Jingzhou is my elder brother. You must not call him by his name directly in the future."

"Ah, Nuo, please forgive me, my lord, Kong Ming was rude."

Zhuge Liang quickly saluted and apologized, but soon, he and Liu Bei looked at each other and smiled, as if they both picked up some treasure.

Half a day later, thousands of soldiers and horses and thousands of civilians were mobilized in Changsha City, totaling no less than [-] people. Commanded by Liu Bei, they marched towards Xiangyang.

Chapter 629 Jingzhou Changes the Sky 1

During this period of illness, Liu Biao has been wary of people who might pose a threat to him, not only Cai Mao, but he is also worried about other aristocratic families.

That's why he always kept Wen Pin and other confidant generals by his side. To be honest, although Liu Biao was the lord of Jingzhou, he never surrendered to the major families in Jingzhou.

Back then, riding alone into Jingzhou was just an exaggeration. In the final analysis, it was just him, Liu Biao, who jointly governed Jingzhou with the major families.

For example, Jiangxia will always be the territory of the Huang family. Huang Zu defends Liu Biao against the Jiangdong Sun family, and at the same time does not allow Liu Biao's forces to infiltrate.

For example, the three counties in Jingnan, far away from Xiangyang and even more far from the Central Plains, have long been semi-independent. Liu Biao can order them, but he cannot order them to do anything.

In the city of Xiangyang, there are many aristocratic families. Liu Biao has his own confidantes, but most of them are his partners.

Therefore, to a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration for the patriarch of the aristocratic family in Xiangyang City to want to expand the power in his hands. After all, Liu Biao is only the lord of Jingzhou in name.

But at the same time, the heads of these aristocratic families also abide by a bottom line, that is, they will not replace Liu Biao, let alone pose a threat to the position of the head of Jingzhou.

This is also one of the important reasons why the aristocratic family in Xiangyang can survive for a hundred years, because the aristocratic family governs the world together with those in power, and will not replace them.

Therefore, no matter how rampant and rich the family is, those in power can always tolerate them. In the final analysis, their interests are the same, and they are all allies.

But if one day, a certain noble family violates this unwritten rule and wants to replace the person in power, it will definitely suffer bloody revenge.

Cai Mao still doesn't know that he is walking on the edge of danger, let alone that Liu Biao has murderous intentions towards him.

He always thought that he was sticking to the bottom line, but he didn't know that Liu Biao had long since distrusted anyone, and Cai Mao was indeed too active, so that he attracted Liu Biao's guard.

"My lord, Liu Bei led his army to the outside of the city, but Cai Mao did not allow him to enter the city, and the army inside the city strictly guarded the gate.

Liu Bei didn't dare to enter the city alone, and now he is stationed outside the city. General Wenpin and the others lead the troops to guard the government office, and they cannot leave for the time being. "

For some reason, Liu Biao's illness has not improved, and he is still lying on the hospital bed after recuperating for so many days.

"Ahem, Cai Hao is too presumptuous, he dared to disobey my order, hmph, he wants to seal the city gate, okay, then don't blame me for being cruel.

Come, send me an order to let Wenpin guard the mansion, and send my personal soldiers to guard my bedroom. From now on, no one in the mansion is allowed to go out.

In addition, with my token, pass Cai Mao to meet and tell him that I want to promote him to be the governor of Jingzhou, and control all the navy in Jingzhou and the soldiers and horses in the north of Xiangyang. "

Liu Biao has been having trouble sleeping soundly lately, maybe it's because of his illness, or maybe it's because of the rumors from the outside world. In short, his temper is getting worse and worse. Whenever he hears the name Cai Mao, he wants to get angry.

But when Liu Biao's confidant passed the order to Cai Mao, Cai Mao beamed with excitement. Finally, Liu Biao recognized his ability after he put in so much effort.

"Come on, change my clothes, I'm going to be promoted, hahaha,,,,,,"

"Congratulations to my lord, congratulations to my lord, that old guy Liu Biao has finally thought about it."

Cai Quan, the captain of Cai Mao's personal army, flattered Cai Mao while flattering him.Some time ago, he was the one who bewitched Cai Mao to take this opportunity to be active and encourage other aristocratic family heads to speak to Liu Biao.

Even, at some point, he encouraged Cai Mao to replace Liu Biao to stand on his own, but Cai Mao did not accept it.

"Slow down, Patriarch, it doesn't seem like a good thing for Liu Jingzhou to summon you at this moment. In my opinion, Patriarch can go to see Madam first, maybe there will be some news from Madam."

Cai Zhong, Cai Hao's housekeeper, was full of doubts when he heard that his patriarch was going to be promoted, but his patriarch seemed to have forgotten the danger, and now he was so excited.

"Here, sister. I haven't visited for a long time. That's right. For such a big event, I should visit my sister first."

Cai Mao's character is actually a bit indecisive. To a certain extent, he is actually not suitable to be the head of the Cai family.

But fortunately, before his death, his father warned him repeatedly that he must discuss with his sister when encountering important matters. To be honest, Mrs. Cai's ingenuity and ability are far superior to Cai Mao's. It is a pity that she is a daughter. If not, the head of the Cai family The place must be hers.

"My lord, Liu Biao is waiting for us to see you. It seems a little inappropriate to visit Madam at this moment."

Cai Quan thought that he should go to see Liu Biao first, since they were all in the same house anyway, besides, it was Liu Biao who summoned Cai Mao, so he shouldn't be rude.

"Cai Quan, pay attention to your words, the head of the family is the subordinate of Lord Zhou Mu, and you call Lord Zhou Mu by his name again and again.

If other people heard it, they would think it was the Patriarch's instruction, and they would think that the Patriarch had the intention to replace him.

As a slave of the Cai family, you must always remember your identity, and don't forget that your words and deeds represent the Cai family and the head of the family. "

Seeing Cai Quan bewitching Cai Mao again, Cai Zhong became angry.Unlike Cai Quan who entered the Cai family halfway, Cai Zhong's family has been slaves of the Cai family for generations, so there is nothing to say about their loyalty to the Cai family.

Therefore, as long as it is dangerous to the Cai family, he will take the initiative to eliminate it.For example, before, Cai Quan tricked Cai Mao to stand on his own many times, but Cai Zhong always awakened Cai Mao at the most critical moment.

"Uncle Zhong is right, Mr. State Shepherd is the Lord of Jingzhou and my brother-in-law, I can't even call him by his first name, especially since you are a slave of my Cai family.

Remember, etiquette cannot be abolished, and laws cannot be messed up.My Cai family will always abide by the bottom line, and will not do things that are indignant. "

After being told by Cai Zhong, Cai Hao also realized that he was a little carried away, and he didn't even think it was wrong to call Liu Biao's name directly by his servants.

If this gets out, what will others think?What would Liu Biao think?Cai Mao didn't want to provoke more hatred.
