Chapter 154 War?Yes and?
Chapter 154 War?Yes and?
Xiangyang City, inside Liu Biao's mansion.

Liu Biao was wearing a green shirt, and his hair was sloppy on the side.

After receiving the news that Cai Mao had been captured, Liu Biao didn't sleep all night.

"What do you think the lord called us to do so early?" Zhang Yun looked at Kuai Yue beside him and asked.

Kuai Yue looked at Zhang Yun who was walking with him and said, "You still don't know? I heard that General Cai Mao was captured alive, and [-] troops were captured!"

Zhang Yun looked at Kuai Yue in disbelief. You must know that the [-] army set off in only five days. According to the journey, they should have just arrived in Jiyang, so why were they arrested?So Zhang Yun began to guess who did it.

"What?! Who said that, could it be Yuan Shu?"

"It's not Yuan Shu, it's Ye Xiao."

Hearing what Kuai Yue said, Zhang Yun asked even more in shock.

"Isn't this Ye Xiao besieging Wancheng now? Why is he here?!"

"It's not that Cai Mao is stupid, carelessly underestimates the enemy, and fell into his trap."

Just when Zhang Yun was about to question again, Kuai Yue signaled that he had arrived at Liu Biao's mansion, so Zhang Yun kept his mouth shut.

After everyone gathered, Liu Biao slowly opened his eyes and scanned the audience.

"You are all my ministers in Jingzhou. I think you also know about the capture of General Cai Mao. I am looking for a future to discuss with you what to do."

When everyone in the audience heard Liu Biao's words, they began to discuss in low voices.

"My lord, may I ask who captured General Cai Mao?"

"Ye Xiao."

Liu Biao looked at the counselor who asked the question and spoke slowly.

"Ye Xiao is actually Ye Xiao! What should I do... You must know that he is merciless towards the aristocratic family. General Cai Mao's life is probably in danger."

Everyone in the audience became restless when they heard Liu Biao's words, and there was an endless stream of whispered discussions.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Liu Biao coughed loudly to stop the commotion in the audience, and then Liu Biao said.

"That Ye Xiao didn't kill General Cai Mao, he asked us to withdraw our troops and spend [-] gold, and promised not to interfere with Wancheng's affairs, so he let Cai Mao go."

"My lord, since this is the case, we can't admit cowardice anymore, we should continue to send troops to fight him!"

Yi Ji glanced at Liu Biao and stood up and said.

"Hmph! Hit? With what? Who will fight? How many people will be sent to fight? Yiji, what you said is simple!"

Zhang Yun yelled at Yi Ji who was sitting down, and when he heard Zhang Yun's scolding, Yi Ji stood up and said angrily.

"Is my son from Jingzhou a vegetarian? Why can't I fight? Could it be that my hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Jingzhou are afraid that a little Ye Xiao will fail?!"

Hearing this, Kuai Yue got up with a smile, came to the middle of the two, pressed his hands to the two and said.

"Don't quarrel, what are you arguing about, since Mr. Yiji wants to save General Cai, then give him tens of thousands of people and let him go and save him."

Yiji blushed when he heard what Kuai Yue said.

"How can I lead soldiers to fight!"

As a civil servant, Yiji Doudou's mouth is not bad, but if he were to be sent to the battlefield, he would be so frightened that his legs would tremble and he would not be able to hold his sword steadily.

Just when Yi Ji wanted to say something more, Liu Biao stood up.

"If we just want to go to war, how many soldiers and horses can we use?"

Facing Liu Biao's question, Zhang Yun got up and answered.

"My lord, currently the seven counties of Jingzhou can deploy about [-] troops."

After hearing this, Liu Biao asked weakly, "How long will it take to mobilize these 8 people?"

"It may take about [-] days to mobilize all of them."

Ye Xiao only gave Liu Biao three days, if he couldn't make a decision within three days, then Cai Mao's head would fall.

Liu Biao sighed and shook his head when he heard that the fifteen days were so long, and when he was about to end the meeting, Yi Ji stood up.

"My lord, I have a plan that may allow us to rescue General Cai Mao."

"Speak, speak quickly."

When Liu Biao heard that Yi Ji had a chance to save someone by admitting defeat, he was so excited that he almost stood up, but his weak body did not allow her to do so.

"My lord, we can send envoys to unite with Yuan Shu and let him attack Ye Xiao from behind. Ye Xiao must dispatch soldiers to defend. At that time, there will be no one in Jiyang. We can take the opportunity to rescue General Cai Mao."

Liu Biao fell into deep thought when he heard Yi Ji's analysis, which was a solution for Liu Biao, but soon Zhang Yun stood up and objected, and he walked up to Yi Ji and said.

"My lord, Yi Ji is uneasy and kind, this is to make you betray the big man!"

When Yi Ji heard what Zhang Yun said, he was furious and said, "Zhang Yun, you spout blood!"

But when Liu Biao heard what Zhang Yun said, he woke up from his contemplation and asked, "How do you say that?"

After getting Liu Biao's permission, Zhang Yun stepped forward and said.

"My lord, now that Yuan Shu is proclaiming himself emperor, he is at odds with the great Han, and is called a false emperor by the world, but my lord, as a clan member of the Han family, is going to ask Yuan Shu. Isn't this making my lord betray the great man?"

Liu Biao didn't react until he heard Zhang Yun say that. Liu Biao got up and glanced at Yiji, then at Zhang Yun. Zhang Yun saw that Liu Biao didn't speak, so he continued.

"Not only that, Yuan Shu, who proclaimed himself emperor, has become the target of the princes of the world. If the lord asks Yuan Shu, it is tantamount to putting himself on the target. At that time, the Sun family in Jiangdong, Ye Xiao in the north, and Liu Zhang in Bashu will all have it." Using an excuse to attack Jingzhou, wouldn’t Jingzhou become the place of the Fourth World War?”

Hearing Zhang Yun say this, Liu Biao was sweating behind his back. Although he said that he was sitting in Jingzhou, he only wanted to protect himself and didn't want to do anything else. Yiji's operation really put him in such a situation.

Seeing this, Yi Ji immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, now the big man is dead in name only, no matter what kind of false emperor he is, as long as he can help us!"

"Shut up! Yi Ji never imagined that your ancestor, who lived in the world, would be able to say such a thing!"

Liu Biao yelled at Yi Ji with all his strength.

"Come here and put Yiji in prison!"

As Yi Ji was dragged down, Liu Biao looked at Zhang Yun in the distance and said.

"How much money can be mobilized in Xiangyang now?"

"If you go back to the lord, there are only seventy thousand gold."

Listening to Zhang Yun's report, Liu Biao frowned and asked, "Why are there so few?"

"My lord, at the beginning of this year Jingzhou was flooded, and a lot of money and food were allocated for disaster relief."

"Okay, I get it, let's go."

Not long after everyone left, Mrs. Cai came to Liu Biao's place crying after hearing the news.

"Husband, you have to save my little brother, I'm just such a little brother!"

"Hmph, I didn't agree to let him help Zhang Xiu at first, but now he's arrested, right? He deserves it!"

When Cai heard what Liu Biao said, he immediately pulled up the long sword in Liu Biao's room and put it on his neck.

"If you don't save my brother, then I won't live!"

Seeing this, Liu Biao grabbed the long sword and said helplessly.

"Okay, the meeting just now discussed agreeing to Ye Xiao's request and rescuing your brother."

Hearing what Liu Biao said, Mrs. Cai got up immediately and said, "Since this is the case, my husband will not send someone to bring my younger brother back."

Liu Biao looked at Cai and said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to, it's because Ye Xiaosuo wants [-] gold, and Jingzhou's current finances can't afford it."
