Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Pang Tong remonstrated: "The general wants to frighten Liu Biao, which will only increase the conflict between the two sides. If you just want to take revenge on Liu Qi, it's very simple."

"The general only needs to send someone to Jiangxia to provoke the guard Huang Zu to have a relationship with him. I'm afraid it won't take long before the effect will be achieved."

Seeing that what Pang Tong said was reasonable and orderly, Cai Mao also became interested, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said slowly: "Then tell me first, your plan?"

After finally convincing Cai Mao halfway, Pang Tong was in a good mood, and said quickly, "It's very simple, the general will hand over the military power to his cronies, and then stay in Nanyang by himself and manipulate behind the scenes."

"In this way, Liu Biao will gradually let go of his guard against you. As for his plan to get rid of your brothers and sisters, I'm afraid the Kuai family and other aristocratic families will not agree."

Cai Mao interrupted: "How do you say that? The Kuai family has always regarded the Cai family as an enemy, so how could they help them?"

Pang Tong replied: "The Kuai's gang is not the general, but the hero of the north, Li Huiyi."

For Pang Tong's answer, Cai Mao believed very much, because he was also born in a family, and what the family cared most about was to lay out the way out early.

Seeing Cai Hao nod his head slightly, Pang Tong continued: "The general took the initiative to hand over the military power on his own initiative. No matter whether Liu Biao came from his heart or not, he will reward the general heavily."

For Pang Tong's words, Cai Mao was a little moved, but worried that if he was not in the army, his cronies would be bribed by others.

Seeing Cai Hao's hesitant expression, Pang Tong also guessed his worry, and immediately said: "If the general is worried that the cronies in charge will rebel and you are not good enough, you can help to take care of it and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"You?" Cai Mao said with a look of disbelief: "As far as you can do, I am afraid that seeing the heavily armed army will make your legs weak."

Pang Tong didn't take Cai Mao's underestimation seriously. After all, he was young and it was normal for him not to be trusted. "Since the general underestimated it, why not give it a try, anyway, you won't suffer a loss."

The appearance of Pang Tong just happened to relieve some of the pressure for Cai Mao, and the time he chose was just right, which made Cai Mao quite excited for a while.

Anyway, there is nothing to lose, Cai Mao thought for a while, and decided to give it a try. "Well, how do you want Ben to do it?"

Pang Tong said: "What I want is very simple, and that is a letter from the general, asking your people to follow my arrangement."

Cai Hao grinned slightly, and said disdainfully: "For matters in the military, even if you are given power, I'm afraid you won't get their support."

Pang Tong smiled and said: "You can rest assured, the general only needs a letter, and I will take care of the rest."

Seeing that Pang Tong was so confident, Cai Mao decided to try it out to see if he was as he said.

Chapter 460 Changing the Normal

"Okay." Cai Mao said with a straight face: "I will give you the letter and give you three months. If the people under my command can convince you, I will also obey you."

"Fresh." Pang Tong said with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect that the general is not as rumored by the outside world. I promise that after three months, if the general does not achieve what the general wants, he will leave on his own."

After the agreement was reached, Pang Tong had a conversation with Cai Mao, and the rest was much easier. The two chatted for several hours before Pang Tong left Cai's mansion with a smile on his face.

Early the next morning, Cai Mao got up early, changed his usual attitude, and played with knives and guns in the backyard leisurely.

This change made the spies who were sneaking in beside him from various forces puzzled, thinking that he had been hit by something.

When Sishi was approaching, Liu Biao sent someone to inform Cai Mao to discuss the matter.

For Liu Biao's intention to inform him at the latest, Cai Mao was not angry, and instead came to inform his servants with an unprecedented reward.

This made the servants who were nervous all the way very happy, and hurriedly led Cai Mao forward respectfully.

Taking the carriage, it didn't take long for Cai Mao to arrive at Liu's Mansion.

Entering the meeting room, seeing that all the officials had arrived, Cai Mao pretended to be terrified, and hurried forward to kneel down and salute.

"If Cai Mao is late, please ask the state shepherd to punish him."

Seeing Cai Mao's up-and-down deeds, Liu Biao, the superior, also looked confused, unable to guess what he wanted to do.

After a brief moment of distraction, Liu Biao waved his hands and said, "General Cai doesn't need to do this, please take your seat."

"Yes." Cai Mao clasped his fists in salute, then stood up and took the seat of military commander.

Cai Mao's sudden change made Liu Biao unable to guess his intention for a while, and he had prepared his speech for a long time, but he held his heart and couldn't utter a single word.

But since Cai Mao chose to keep silent, Liu Biao would not be so stupid as to mention it himself.

"Cough cough." Liu Biao pretended to cough and said, "Last year there was a severe drought, Jingzhou was not affected much, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It's because of your good governance, and the shepherds of this state decided to reward you for your merits."

After the words fell, Cai Mao stood up and said: "All of this is due to the state pastor, and I dare not take credit for it.

"The other general is away and often hears rumors that he has the intention of rebelling, so he decided to stay in Nanyang and hand over the general's power, which has shown his loyalty."

"What?……"

"Has he lost his mind..."

……

As soon as Cai Hao said this, all the officials in the hall murmured in low voices, with a look of disbelief, even Liu Biao lost his mind.

But after all, it was the wind and the waves, Liu Biao slowed down for a while, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and asked politely:

"Is there any misunderstanding by General Cai? If it is about the eldest son Liu Qi, there is no need to be like this. Benzhou Mu has sent him to the front and made him not return to Nanyang for three years."

Cai Mao said respectfully: "That's the family matter of the state shepherd. If you don't have the right to intervene, you don't dare to ask."

Such a well-behaved Cai Mao is really unheard of, and everyone in the hall let out a little exclamation.

"Quiet."

There was a trace of seriousness on Liu Biao's face, and he was indeed ecstatic in his heart. "Well, well, since General Cai requested, then Benzhou Mu will designate you as the military advisor of General Zhennan, stay in Nanyang, and assist in handling government affairs."

Cai Mao was expressionless, and said respectfully, "Thank you Zhou Mu, I will definitely do my best to complete the tasks within my duties."

Some people were surprised by Cai Mao's sudden change, while others were worried. The two Kuai brothers originally wanted to sit back and watch the tiger fight and seek benefits from it, so they thought it would be the current recruitment.

But at this time, the two Kuai brothers couldn't show it in full view, they could only exchange winks with each other.

And Liu Biao was in a good mood after solving the big stone that was weighing on his heart. He handled the rest of the affairs cleanly and quickly, and hosted a banquet for the officials.

Satisfied with wine and food, Liu Biao drunkenly announced the end of the banquet, ordered his servants to send all the officials away, and went crookedly to Xinna's concubine's room, ready to vent his joy.

As soon as Liu Biao entered the house, before Liu Biao could take off his clothes, he learned that Cai Mao had something to ask for an interview, which made him sober up from his drunkenness.

Did Cai Mao go back on his word?

Impossible, he won't come to see him alone even if he repents, why is that?

Liu Biao thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what the reason was, so he decided to meet up.

As the servants came to the reception room, they saw Cai Mao standing and waiting.

Liu Biao smiled and said, "General Cai came late at night, do you have something to report?"
