After Liu Biao served as the governor of Jingzhou, he had conflicts with Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou. In order to seize power from Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao wanted to cultivate his own power as soon as possible.

So Liu Biao arranged several of his major families to join him among the major counties and counties in Jingzhou. For example, Cai Mao was arranged to be the prefect of Nanjun, and Kuai Liang became the prefect of Nanyang. He was originally the prefect of Changsha and arranged Huang Zu, who had just joined Liu Biao.

But suddenly an imperial edict airborne Sun Jian, disrupting Liu Biao's plan.

Liu Biao naturally had some complaints about Sun Jian. But this alone was not enough to create some gaps between Liu Biao and Sun Jian.

The bigger contradiction is the competition for Jingzhou territory.

Originally, Sun Jian was just the prefect of Changsha who was conferred by the imperial court, but Sun Jian was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He knew that there were cracks in the imperial court today, so he naturally wanted to control more territory.

Therefore, when he took advantage of the opportunity to suppress the rebellion and gradually became involved in other counties. When Liu Biao's men attacked Nanjun, Sun Jian led his men to capture Guiyang County, and now he has occupied the entire Guiyang County in his own hands.

At the same time, most of the territory of Wuling County was controlled by Sun Jian and was not allowed to Liu Biao at all.

Liu Biao gave a Changsha County to Sun Jian, and he already had an objection to Sun Jian. Now that Sun Jian is still fighting for other counties, Liu Biao is naturally quite unhappy.

Although they were still in the same group on the surface, the soldiers and horses of both sides would not have sent troops together before. They fought each other. Only when Sun Jian was defeated by Gan Ning's men not long ago, did the men and horses of both sides meet up.

But that's true, Sun Jian's men were ridiculed by Liu Biao's people.

Yuan Zhou told Liu Zheng about these things. After Liu Zheng heard about it, he immediately smiled. He knew that if he wanted to deal with Sun Jian, he could indeed make good use of this point.

"Yuan Zhou, who is the leader under Liu Biao?"

Liu Zheng immediately asked Yuan Zhou.

"It seems to be Cai Mao."

"Cai Mao?"

When Liu Zheng heard this name, he was stunned. Isn’t this his defeated general?

If I really say it, Cai Mao could call him brother-in-law. After all, Cai Mao might have mistakenly thought that his sister was really Liu Zheng's person.

"If it's Cai Mao, it's easy to talk. I'll send someone to contact Cai Mao immediately and say I'll meet him in private after three days."

Liu Zheng wanted to take advantage of the disagreement between Liu Biao and Sun Jian to break the deadlock, so he naturally could not clearly go up to see Cai Mao.

With his relationship with Cai Mao, I believe that when I meet Cai Mao in private, Cai Mao should come to the appointment. Regardless of whether Cai Mao comes or not, I still have to give it a try.

After hearing Liu Zheng's words, Yuan Zhou immediately took the order and left and made arrangements.

In this way, Liu Zheng waited in Wuling County for two days, and Yuan Zhou's arrangements were almost done.

On the evening of the third day, Liu Zheng took his people with him and quietly left Wuling County, and then walked along the official road.

After the sky completely dimmed, Liu Zheng appeared next to a stream.

After waiting for a while, a sound of horse hooves came from the forest, and then several people came down from the horses.

Seeing the fire here, I quickly walked over.

With the help of the moonlight, Liu Zheng saw Cai Mao.

Cai Mao only brought seven or eight people. As soon as he approached here, he saw Liu Zheng, his solemn expression eased a little.

"I knew that the person who defeated Sun Jian could not be Guo Shi's people. Most of them were you. I didn't expect you to be here."

As soon as he saw Liu Zheng, Cai Mao spoke.

"General Cai Mao, don't be fine."

It has been a while since they parted with Cai Mao. After almost a year, Liu Zheng never met Cai Mao again when he left Runan. Now when he met again, the status of the two has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Liu Zheng went from being a small commander of the Yellow Turban Army to a prince who now occupies the entire Jiaozhou, and Cai Mao also changed from a young general to a general trusted by Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou.

This time, Cai Mao was the main person in charge of extermination of the Guo Shi rebellion.

"I heard that you had brought people to repel Zhu Fu not long ago, and now you occupy Jiaozhou?"

"It's not that he repelled. Zhu Fu died in the battlefield like him. Now the entire Jiaozhou is mine. Although Jiaozhou cannot explain anything, General Cai Mao, do you believe that in the near future, the world of Han will be changed."

Liu Zheng has this confidence, and now he has finally stood firm and is about to compete with the famous heroes in history.

"I knew you were a phoenix among people, but I didn't expect that you were so powerful. In just one year, Jiaozhou has already been conquered. Jiaozhou is remote. Even if the court wants to deal with you, it will not be so easy. Especially now, the court is in a troublesome situation and has no time to withdraw from you."

"As long as you give you some more time to rest, I'm afraid you will really become a major concern for the court."

At this time, Cai Mao also had a clear understanding of Liu Zheng. Since Cai Mao was defeated by Liu Zheng, he went from resentment from Liu Zheng at the beginning to fearing Liu Zheng, and then because of his sister's helplessness.

Cai Mao's hatred for Liu Zheng has gradually decreased. Now, Cai Mao still has a little appreciation for Liu Zheng.

"Okay, let's not say much, just get to the point. General Cai Mao, I invite you to come over and talk to you. There is something important to talk to you."

"What's the matter?"

"Tell me first, how is the relationship between you and Sun Jian?"

"Sun Jian? He was raped. That bastard is too arrogant. Not only does he not know how to examine the degree of scrutiny, he also wants to compete with the Lord of the State for the territory of Jingzhou. If you defeat him this time, it will be considered as a vent of anger."

When Cai Mao heard Liu Zheng mention Sun Jian, he was angry and didn't even bother to make a fuss. He spoke a few words.

When Liu Zheng heard Cai Mao's words, he understood that he had no good feelings for Sun Jian, so he simply continued to say it.

"It seems that you and Sun Jian are not friendly. Do you want to get rid of him? You can also show off in front of Liu Ping and make some contributions. Maybe you can make you pay attention to Liu Ping and become Liu Biao's confidant in the future with this meritorious service."

Liu Zheng threw out a huge temptation at Cai Mao.

It immediately attracted Cai Mao's attention. Cai Mao's face was immediately shocked, and then he glanced at Liu Zheng and asked him hurriedly.
