503 The situation in Jingzhou (15)
Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, Cai He and others drank until they were ugly. They gradually felt a little sleepy and fell asleep.
That night, Cai Mao had a dream, a very beautiful dream. Liu Biao was killed. Cai Mao led his army to slaughter Pingyu City, and then plundered in Runan, and then returned to Jingzhou.
Then, Liu Qi committed suicide, and Cai Mao supported his nephew Liu Cong as the governor of Jingzhou. But in fact, Liu Cong was young and all his power was in the hands of Cai Mao. From then on, Cai Mao began his career of remote control of Jingzhou.
A few years later, Cai Mao led the Jingzhou navy, defeated Sun Quan in Jiangdong and occupied his territory. Then he took advantage of the victory and attacked Danyang, Jinling and other counties. Liu Zhang from Yizhou and Shi Xie from Jiaozhou were all afraid of Cai Mao's authority and sent envoys to rely on it. In this way, Cai Mao took down all the areas south of the Yangtze River and ruled with Zhang Yan north of the Yangtze River.
Later, Zhang Yan killed the emperor of the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor. Instead of supporting Liu Cong as emperor, Cai Mao drove Liu Cong off the stage and became the emperor himself. Because the area where Jingzhou was located was the territory of Chu before, Cai Mao used Chu as the country's name to fight against Zhang Yan.
A year later, Cai Mao, who had strong troops, led a large army to attack the northern country. Zhang Yan's army retreated step by step. Finally, Cai Mao conquered the capital in one fell swoop, killed the emperor of the northern country, and then sent a large army to pacify various parts of the northern country and unify the whole country.
Cai Mao then set his capital in Xiangyang, summoning beauties from all over the world into the palace, hugging them from both sides, feeling very uncomfortable.
Just as Cai Mao was immersed in a silence, he suddenly heard someone calling him "Governor", and the entire palace began to shake, as if it was about to collapse. He was nervous and woke up from his dream. After opening his eyes, he saw that he was still in the tent and realized that he had just had a dream.
Cai Mao was still confused. He drank too much yesterday and was still drowsy. He was about to stand up, but he found that his crotch was wet and sticky, as if he had sex with a woman in his dream and actually ejaculated.
Standing in front of Cai Mao was Cai Mao's confidant. He said happily: "Governor, a head was hung on Pingyu County..."
Cai Mao immediately said happily: "Really? It's great, Yuan Huan is indeed very trustworthy. But it's just that he and I are not the same!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Mao immediately ordered his confidants to gather troops. Then he woke up Zhang Yun, Cai Zhong, Cai and the three of them one by one, and then he asked someone to take a bath and change his clothes. He used the burned snow water to take a hot bath in the tent, especially the dirt in his crotch.
After taking a shower, Cai Mao put on heavy armor and a helmet again. Because he had something happy in his heart, he looked refreshed. It is true that people feel refreshed when they are happy.
After Cai Mao left the tent, all 50,000 troops had been assembled. When Cai Mao said that Liu Biao was killed and wanted to avenge Liu Biao, the soldiers of the army were shocked.
The first person to be hit was Wang Wei. He immediately asked Cai Mao to go to Pingyu County to kill Yuan Huan and others. Cai Mao was naturally very happy, and this was also what he planned to let Wang Wei fight against the enemy in front. No matter what the situation was, Wang Wei would undoubtedly die, because Wang Wei supported Liu Qi. If he didn't kill him, how could Cai Mao control the entire Jingzhou?
Wang Wei led his 10,000 troops to Pingyu County and quickly left the place.
At this time, Zhang Yunze said to Cai Mao: "Governor, let's leave quickly!"
"What's the hurry?" Cai Mao said calmly, "The army hasn't enjoyed breakfast yet. It's not too late to go after the meal."
Zhang Yun said in confusion: "But..."
"What's wrong? Wang Wei led his army to attack Pingyu City. This is not very good for us? Don't forget that Wang Wei supports Liu Qi, and this is a great opportunity to get rid of Wang Wei together." Cai Mao said.
Zhang Yun immediately understood that Cai Mao was still using a knife to kill people. He first borrowed Yuan Huan's knife to kill Liu Biao, then borrowed Wang Wei's knife to kill Yuan Huan, and then he killed Wang Wei. In this way, he could rest assured. It was really a clever plan.
"The governor is such a clever plan. I admire you so much." Zhang Yun said flatteringly.
Cai Mao was naturally very happy and asked someone to order the pot to make rice. The 40,000 troops were resting on the spot. After breakfast, it would not be too late to go to Pingyu County.
...
Wang Wei led his 10,000 subordinates to the outside of Pingyu County as fast as possible, but saw that the city gate was closed and a bloody head hung above the gate. Because of his disheveled hair, he could not see the appearance of the head, and could not tell whether this head was Liu Biao's.
But Liu Biao's killing was by no means groundless, because the five hundred guards located in the camp outside the city disappeared, and Wang Wei had an unknown premonition.
At this moment, the gate of Pingyu County suddenly opened. Yuan Huan, the prefect of Runan, walked out of it without any fear. He quickly walked to Wang Wei and bowed, "Didn't General Wang go to Qiao County? Why are you back?"
Wang Wei glared at Yuan Huan, pointed to the head hanging above the city gate, and asked, "Whose head is that? Where is my lord now?"
Yuan Huan asked with a smile: "General Wang, wouldn't you think that the head hanging above the city gate is from Liu Jingzhou?"
Wang Wei did not answer, his face turned gloomy, and he looked at Yuan Huan with a sharp gaze. At the same time, he pressed the hilt of the sword tightly, and he was drawing the sword at any time.
"Hahaha..." Yuan Huan suddenly laughed, "General Wang, your imagination is too rich? This head is a death row prisoner. He was going to be killed yesterday, but Liu Jingzhou came, so he could not do such a thing. He could only push it back a day. He asked to be killed early this morning, and hung his head at the city gate to deter other thieves."
"I'm not interested in hearing what you said. Where is my lord? I want to see my lord. If I can't see my lord, I will lead my troops into the city. If my lord makes any mistakes, I will let everyone in the city bury my lord with me!" Wang Wei said furiously.
Yuan Huan said: "It seems that General Wang will not be relieved if he doesn't let General Wang see Liu Jingzhou. Since that's the case, then please ask General Wang and I to go into the city and meet Liu Jingzhou."
Wang Wei sneered and said, "See you here, don't think I don't know what you are trying to do. I want to trick me into the city and shoot me to death, so I can't succeed."
"It seems that General Wang is very hostile to me. Since that's the case, then see you here."
As soon as Yuan Huan finished speaking, he turned to the officials behind him and said, "Go and invite Liu Envoy here, and say that General Wang wants to see him."
The official nodded and ran into the city quickly. Soon, Liu Biao really came out of the city safely, with his guards around him.
The moment when Liu Biao appeared, Wang Wei's heart finally fell. When Liu Biao walked to Wang Wei, Wang Wei immediately turned over and dismounted, kneeled in front of Liu Biao, and shouted loudly: "I will meet the lord!"
Liu Biao looked at Wang Wei with a puzzled look and asked, "Didn't you follow Cai Mao to attack Qiao County? Why did you suddenly come back? Could it be that something happened?"
Wang Wei immediately said to Liu Biao: "The General of the Mo has indeed gone, but he did not go far. Instead, he stopped about thirty miles east of the city and spent the night there. Cai Mao gathered all the troops this morning. The General of the Mo thought he was going to set out to attack Qiao County, but he did not expect that Cai Mao said that his lord was murdered by the Prefect Yuan and hung his head on the city wall. The General of the Mo hurriedly led his troops back. Fortunately, the Lord was safe and sound, otherwise, even if the General of the Mo would die, he would be to blame."
Liu Biao frowned and said, "How can Cai Mao joke about his life in the mansion? What's his heart?"
The Wang family is a prominent family in Jingzhou, and Wang Wei is even more outstanding among the Wang family. When Liu Biao settled Jingzhou, the Wang family was the first to support Liu Biao. Like the Cai and Kuai families, they were the three major families in Xiangyang that Liu Biao was closer to.
However, later, Liu Biao re-established his strength and married Cai. Cai took advantage of this relationship and pretended to be powerful, bullying men and women, and ganging up cliques, which seemed to have formed a small group that could compete with Liu Biao. When Liu Biao discovered it, it was too late, so he kept thinking about how to get rid of Cai, but it would not cause turmoil in Jingzhou.
Therefore, this led to the fact that Liu Biao later took in Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei and reused it. And it turned out that Liu Biao's strategy did limit the development of the Cai family's power.
In addition to the Cai family, Wang is closest to Liu Biao. Because Liu Qi married a wife Wang, Wang is also loyal to Liu Biao. Moreover, because Wang Wei has a very high prestige in the army, he has become a person that Cai Mao is afraid of. In addition, Wang Wei and Liu Biao are very close, both teachers and friends, and are even more jealous of Cai Mao. He also told Liu Biao that the person who is forming a clique was Wang Wei.
In addition, the two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were both good at everything and were only considering the interests of their family. Whether it was Liu Biao or Cai Mao, they were all trusted. The two brothers Kuai had offered strategies to suppress the Cai family to Liu Biao, and also offered strategies to deal with Liu Biao. It can be said that the two brothers were unyielding fences and had always played a neutral role in the power competition between the Liu and Cai family. No matter who wins or loses, the Kuai family will stand on the land of Jingzhou and continue to maintain the identity of a noble family.
Yuan Huan didn't know much about the matter between Liu Biao, Wang Wei and Cai Mao, but he could see that Wang Wei was a loyal person to Liu Biao. For this reason, he could also guess what Cai Mao was thinking, so he wrote a good script and directed the misunderstanding himself.
At this moment, Yuan Huan saw that the time was ripe, so he said in front of Liu Biao and Wang Wei: "It's true that Cai Mao has ulterior motives and has the intention to rebel..."
Yuan Huan immediately told how Cai Mao contacted him and how he could do it and tell him how he could do it.
Liu Biao and Wang Wei were shocked after hearing this. Liu Biao never expected that Cai Mao would dare to take such a fierce attack. Over the years, if he hadn't seen the help of Cai to pacify Jingzhou, he would have killed Cai Mao long ago. But Liu Biao was a person who thought of his old love, so he couldn't bear to kill Cai Mao directly. He wanted to play with Cai in secret, and then use methods to gradually expel the power of Cai.
However, Cai Mao's intention to kill has already arisen, and Liu Biao will never be ruthless.
"Lord, Cai Mao is bold and his intention to rebel is obvious. If Cai Mao is not removed as soon as possible, he is afraid that his lord will be killed by him." Wang Wei immediately suggested to Liu Biao, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
