    "My lord, my old lord's body has been laid to rest." In the main hall of the Chinese Army in the Xiangyang Prefecture in Jingzhou, Kuai Yue presented Liu Biao's memorial inscription to Liu Qi, the newly appointed shepherd of Jingzhou.  After the civil strife in Jingzhou, Liu Biao's condition became more and more serious, and he finally became ill and died in his own house.  Liu Qi hurriedly took over as Jingzhou Mu, a miserable Jingzhou Mu.  "The military advisor doesn't need to call me Lord, just Young Master Qi. Have you written the letter to Cao Jun? The people of Jingzhou can no longer suffer the scourge of war. It is up to me, Mrs. Liu, to do something for the people of Jingzhou." Liu Qi was helpless.  He leaned on the main seat and waved to Kuai Yue, indicating that Kuai Yue could leave if nothing happened.  "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates have already made arrangements. As for surrendering to Cao Jun, I will definitely fight for the best interests of my lord." "It's time to thank the military advisor!" "I resigned." After Kuai Yue left, Liu Qi thought  Liu Biao's last words.  "Qi'er, the people from the Jingzhou family can't be trusted. Cai Mao can't be trusted, Kuai Yue can't be trusted, only General Wenpin can be trusted. Qi'er must remember that in the Cao camp, you must swallow your anger and only enjoy peace and happiness to avoid Cao's family.  The assassination. I, the Liu family, have run out of strength, so don¡¯t continue to struggle in vain.¡± Liu Qi thought of Liu Biao¡¯s last words and knew that he was unable to resist.  The matter of Cai Mao's rebellion is no longer important. What is important is that Jingzhou is already in chaos and cannot join forces to resist Cao Cao. The result of the resistance is only more casualties.  I am the last hope to protect the Liu family in Jingzhou. I am weak and sick. I hope Cao Cao will let me go!  The day after Liu Qi took over as the shepherd of Jingzhou, he delivered a letter of surrender and a letter of surrender to Cao Ang outside the city.  Cao Ang looked at Biao Wen in disbelief, but in the end he still favored the experienced man.  He offered a test plan to Cao Ang.  After confirming Jingzhou's sincerity in surrendering, Cao Ang led his army into Xiangyang City. Three days after Cao Ang entered the city, an army of 200,000 led by Cao Cao also went south and arrived at Xiangyang City.  In the Jingzhou Prefect¡¯s Mansion, Cao Ang has led everyone to live in the Prefect¡¯s Mansion.  Liu Qi was placed in a manor owned by the Liu family.  "The Marquis got up really early today, the more polite he is." Early in the morning, Kuai Yue came to Lu Rui's yard and paid greetings to Lu Rui. He said he was saying greetings, but in fact he was testing Lu Rui's tone.  After all, Cao Cao will enter Xiangyang City at noon. It is hard to say whether he will be welcome to see him then. Lu Rui is a good introducer.  "You're welcome to Xiandu. The Prime Minister is coming today. Xiandu has made a lot of contributions. Rui will definitely report it to the Prime Minister. I will tell you about Xiandu's contribution." Lu Rui smiled slightly. Lu Rui knew what Kuai Yue was thinking.  , don¡¯t you just want to get some credit? Cao Cao will definitely give a satisfactory answer.  "Thank you, Lord Marquis!" "Well, by the way, how is the situation over there with Cai Mao?" Lu Rui looked at Kuai Yue and thought of Cai Mao in Wulin. That boy Cai Mao still had 50,000 naval troops unscathed.  Now Liu Qi has issued a declaration of surrender to the Cao family to all parts of Jingzhou, but there is no movement from Cai Mao in Wulin, which makes Lu Rui worried.  If Cao Cao wants to take advantage of the situation to attack Sun Quan, he must rely on a powerful navy. The navy trained by Lu Dai in Jiangdong is a new army and cannot compete with Zhou Yu's Poyang Lake navy. Only Cai Mao's Jingzhou navy can fight.  .  "Master Marquis, Cai Mao's army has not made any changes. Although he has not expressed his loyalty to our army, he will not take the initiative to attack our army. According to my thoughts, Cai Mao just wants a step up." Kuai Yue is from a long-established family in Jingzhou.  He knew the character of Jingzhou Cai Mao very well and wanted to protect the interests of the family.  Cai Mao's dream of becoming the first aristocratic family in Jingzhou was shattered after Cao Cao took control of Jingzhou.  No one family will be allowed to grow bigger. Only mutual restraint is in line with Cao Cao's rule of Jingzhou.  Since he could not become the first aristocratic family, Cai Mao also wanted to be the head of a powerful family. The fifty thousand navy was Cai Hao's capital. At the same time, Cai Hao also knew that this was the fifty thousand army that Cao Cao was afraid of, so Cai Hao had been hesitant to move.  "So it's a step?" Lu Rui touched his chin. Kuai Yue's words reminded him that Cai Mao was now in a dilemma.  It is impossible for Cai Mao to give up military power. All fools know what it means for a governor who once commanded tens of thousands of troops to lose military power.  However, it was Cao Cao's pet peeve to allow generals who rebelled and surrendered to continue to hold military power, and Cao Cao's suspicion was clearly revealed here.  The five good generals of the Wei State, Xu Huang, Zhang He, and Zhang Liao, were all surrendered generals, and their treatment was far less good than that of the generals who followed Cao Cao.  Xu Huang followed Cao Cao all his life, conquering south and north. In fact, he had almost no chance of leading the army on his own.  Zhang Liao was called the Tiger Caller in ancient times by Cao Pi. When he was stationed in Hefei, he had Le Jin and Li Dian as a check. This was Cao Cao's surveillance strategy.  Zhang He, the longest-lived member of the Five Good Generals, was sent at will by Cao Wei to resist Soochow and Western Shu.  FinallyTo obey the command of Sima Yi, a junior, shows Cao Wei's attitude towards surrendering generals.  Lao Cao¡¯s heartache!  Facing the suspicious Cao Cao, Lu Rui was helpless. You can't just go to Cao Cao and say that you have traveled through time and you know who is loyal and who is traitorous!  What's more, everything in the world changes, and the human heart is the most unpredictable thing.  "Yidu, what good strategy do you have to make Cai Mao relieve his suspicion of our army and join the Prime Minister? If Yidu accomplishes this feat again, the Prime Minister will definitely look at him differently." Lu Rui asked the question to Kuai Yue, which Cao Cao appreciated.  The counselor should not let himself down.  "This?" Kuai Yue looked at Lu Rui, but he seemed to have something unspeakable and wanted to say but dared not.  "Xidu, just say what you have to say. There is no need to hide it. I will not blame you." "Well, Lord Marquis, I have a plan to make Cai Mao lower his guard and at the same time allow the Prime Minister to use Cai Mao.  To deal with Sun Quan's navy, this strategy involves the private affairs of the Prime Minister's house, which is difficult for me to control. Please enlighten me." "The Prime Minister's private affairs?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, why was Kuai Yue hesitating? What's the matter?  Just say that since it is a private matter, Lu Rui, the adopted son and part-time son-in-law, must be able to make suggestions.  "It's okay to say it is different." "Mr. Hou, in fact, there is nothing wrong with Yidu's strategy. It's just a plan to avoid getting closer. As for this kiss, Mr. Hou, there is no need to explain it clearly below."  ?  Let Cao Cao and Cai Mao become relatives?  "Does the Cai family have any women who can marry the Cao family's children?" Lu Rui looked at Kuai Yue. It seemed that Cai Mao had no daughter, and neither did Cai Zhong and Cai He. Cai Mao did have a niece, but she was married to Liu Qi.  I have not heard that Cai has other young women.  "Master Hou misunderstood, Yue means Cai Mao's sister, the wife of Liu Biao, the former Jingzhou Shepherd" Kuai Yue smiled slightly, glanced at Lu Rui, and lowered his head.  "Cai?" Lu Rui was shocked when he heard this.  stood up from the seat.  Kuai Yue was indeed a top strategist, and he actually paid attention to Cai's head.  If Cai Mao's sister follows Lao Cao, the bad blood between Cai Mao and Cao Cao will be reduced by at least half.  In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when there were many aristocratic families, it was a good strategy to keep relatives apart, because the marriage between two aristocratic families not only represented the marriage of the couple, but more importantly, the various resources of the aristocratic families would be tied together.  Speaking of large places, it is a situation where everyone is prosperous and loses.  Liu Biao was able to defeat Jingzhou on his own, and Cai's marriage was also very important.  Liu Biao and the Cai family had no heirs, so it was still very possible for his wife Cao to adopt the Cai family. After all, if you adopt a woman, you can get an army of 50,000.  Anyone can settle this account.  "It's just that Liu Jingsheng is quite famous in Jingzhou. What if the prime minister did this?" I didn't expect that Kuai Yue, like Cao Anmin, had the potential to be a madam, but taking Liu Biao's wife would be a big deal in this kind of situation.  Pay special attention during sensitive periods.  Cao Cao had just conquered Jingzhou, and Liu Biao¡¯s body was still cold, so you went to take his wife. It¡¯s morally unjustifiable.  Moreover, Liu Biao is a city defender, and his prestige and reputation in Jingzhou are pretty good, so he can do something like this.  Cao Cao's reputation is not very good. After all, Cao Cao is now the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, so he has to live up to his reputation.  "Master Marquis, you are wrong. If you care about reputation, you will waste 50,000 troops. This is not the move of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, marriage is a matter of your own free will. Liu Biao has died of illness, and Cai is just a widow. The etiquette and law are to remarry.  The prime minister is an important official of the Han Dynasty. As for the funeral, why should he be too pedantic? "Quai Yue pointed out Lu Rui's hesitation righteously. Cao Cao's face was very important, but the 50,000-strong army was more important. Lu Rui couldn't.  Forgetting public duties for personal reasons.  Grandma¡¯s Kuai Yidu is so plausible that she even robs other people¡¯s wives, as if not marrying Mr. Cai would be a grave sin.  Liu Biao was probably so angry that he vomited blood in the underworld. Kuai Yue had betrayed him and his wife was about to be given away before her bones were cold. Although Kuai Yue was very resourceful, this was too unkind to Liu Biao.  "Please think again, Lord Marquis!" "Well, you can arrange this matter. If the Prime Minister blames you, I will bear the responsibility for you!" Although Lu Rui despised Kuai Yue's approach, but considering the overall situation, Kuai Yue still made sense.  It makes perfect sense. A woman cannot determine her own destiny in troubled times. If Cao Cao sacrificed a woman to get 50,000 navy troops, it would be a sure profit without losing money, and the wife Cao, the wife Cao,  If you are no longer a wife, you are no longer Cao Cao.  "Your Majesty is wise, please make arrangements immediately!" After receiving Lu Rui's approval, Kuai Yue happily left Lu Rui's yard to arrange things between Cai and Cao Cao.  At this time, in Wulin Port east of Xiangyang, Cai Mao and Cai Zhongcai He were discussing the future direction of the Cai family.  After hearing the reports from Cai Zhong and Cai He, Cai MaoI also vaguely felt the strangeness of Lu Rui's entry into Xiangyang City.  Now it seems that it is very likely that he fell into the trap and fought with Liu Biao's army, which greatly reduced the military strength of Xiangyang City, but gave Cao Cao a chance.  It¡¯s just that Cai Mao keeps these things in his heart. If he tells these two idiots Cai Zhong and Cai He, he might do something impulsively.  The Cai family's foundation in Jingzhou has been damaged, but whether they can regain control of Jingzhou in the future remains to be seen. After all, the family's affairs have to be planned for hundreds of years, and it cannot be decided in one generation!  "Brother, that little brat Liu Qi actually asked the counties in Jingzhou to surrender to Cao Cao. What do you think our Cai family will do?" Cai He asked Cai Mao angrily. That brat Liu Qi actually surrendered to Cao Cao so quickly. What will happen to his Cai family's land in Jingzhou?  , what to do with the property in Jingzhou? Will it just belong to Cao Cao?  "Brother, I think we might as well surrender to Cao Cao. Anyway, as long as the family's things are kept, why worry about not being rich in the future?" "No, no, we have suggested in front of Liu Biao many times to attack Cao Cao, how could Cao Cao do it?  Let us go so easily? Brother, why don't we join Sun Quan and maybe we will be rich? " "Sun Quan? I think you are looking for death. How did Sun Jian die? " See?  Cai Mao was upset because of the quarrel between Cai Zhong and Cai He. It was not that Cai Mao didn't want to surrender to Cao Cao.  He and Cao Cao are good friends. Surrendering to Cao Cao can at least save his life, but he must not surrender to Cao Cao easily, otherwise he will have no room for bargaining.  "Report!, Commander-in-Chief, something bad has happened. There is a navy coming from the direction of Chaisang, with no less than ten thousand men!" Just as the Cai Mao brothers were arguing about the way out, spies came to report, and Chaisang took action, sending out  The navy came.  "Brother?" Cai Zhong and Cai He were stunned for a moment. Could it be that Sun Quan wanted to take advantage of the situation and attack Wulin Port?  Sun Quan?  Cai Hao touched his chin. Cai Hao would not care about Chai Sang's intention of sending out the navy at this time. The most important thing was that Cai Hao had already made up his mind. He could not leave Jingzhou, he absolutely could not leave Jingzhou!  "Second brother, third brother, no matter what Sun Quan's intention is, I have decided not to leave Jingzhou. Our tribe and family are all in Jingzhou. Sun Quan's coming this time must have ill intentions towards me in Jingzhou. I have decided to send troops to fight.  !" Cai Mao drew his long sword and made an important decision. Since Liu Qi has surrendered to Cao Cao, he does not need to be loyal to Liu Biao. Sun Quan has always been eyeing Jingzhou and will never let Sun Quan succeed.  "I will obey my brother's orders!" Cai Zhong and Cai He looked at each other. Cai Mao was right. Jingzhou is always his home and the family cannot abandon it!  "Okay, our Jingzhou Navy failed to deal with Cao Jun, then let Sun Quan see the power of our Jingzhou Navy!" General Cai Mao waved his long sleeves and walked out of the military camp with Cai and Cai Zhong.  PS: Thank you for your great support!  !
