Cai Mao was very interested in what Liu Zheng said, and immediately stared at Liu Zheng, hoping that Liu Zheng would say it more clearly.

"Actually, it's very simple. You don't like Sun Jian, and I naturally get rid of it quickly. We teamed up to get rid of Sun Jian. In this way, I removed a thorn in my heart and you also lost an opponent. I wonder if you are interested in doing this?"

Liu Zheng simply described his thoughts to Cai Mao. After hearing this, Cai Mao did not show too excited expression. It seemed that such statements could not impress Cai Mao.

"This...is probably inappropriate. No matter what, Sun Jian is also a member of the court, and he is also the prefect of Changsha. If I join forces with you to deal with him, then wouldn't I become a person who betrayed the court? How could Liu Biao think of me, and how would he use me?"

Cai Mao did not think deeply about Liu Zheng's words, but thought of Sun Jian's death, which seemed to be of no benefit to him.

After seeing that Cai Mao didn't seem to know the deep meaning contained in it, Liu Zheng quickly said to Cai Mao again.

"General Cai Mao, Sun Jian is dead, but it will only benefit you, no harm."

"How do you say this?"

"Think about it, Sun Jian is clearly going to compete with you for territory. Guiyang County and Wuling County are almost about to fall into Sun Jian. Even if you finally destroy Guo Shi's rebels, the actual controllers of these two counties will definitely not be Liu Biao's turn."

"If Sun Jian died, who would have the control of these two counties, including Changsha County?"

A smile appeared on Liu Zheng's face.

"Secondly, if I kill Sun Jian and you quell the Guo Shi rebellion, you will not only lose a competitor, but also be trusted by Liu Biao because of your contribution. And you and me are no longer strangers. We don't need to be unhappy, so we can not interfere with each other and be at peace."

"In this way, you get what you want, and I get what I need, and everyone is happy."

Liu Zheng explained to Cai Mao again. After listening to Liu Zheng’s description, Cai Mao realized how important Sun Jian’s death was to him.

If Sun Jian did not die, he would indeed compete with Liu Biao for the territory of Jingzhou as Liu Zheng said. At that time, at least three counties would be controlled by Sun Jian. Sun Jian's power would rise sharply. In addition, Sun Jian himself was brave enough to use troops, so Liu Biao might not be Sun Jian's opponent.

And getting rid of Sun Jian is at least a good choice for Liu Biao. Without Sun Jian, the contribution to suppressing the rebellion will be completely on Cai Mao. Cai Mao can naturally gain fame and get promoted and become rich with this matter.

But it is still a bit bad to join forces with Liu Zheng to get rid of Sun Jian.

At least on the surface, if someone sees it, Cai Mao’s reputation will be terrible.

"Liu Zheng, although I also think that it can be eliminated by Sun Jian, it is probably inappropriate to let me cooperate with you on the surface to deal with Sun Jian. I have to consider myself."

"Don't worry about this. The cooperation I mentioned is not actually to let you and me send troops to deal with Sun Jian. Don't worry, no matter what you say, it can be considered my brother-in-law. Can I still cheat you?"

"What I mentioned is to cooperate is to ask you to take your troops out of Sun Jian's camp, and then wait for me to attack Sun Jian next time. If he asks you for help, just don't bring people to support me. In this way, I can defeat Sun Jian in one fell swoop."

Liu Zheng never expected Cai Mao to send troops with him to deal with Sun Jian. Liu Zheng had the idea of ​​making a move, but in fact, when Liu Zheng was dealing with Sun Jian, Cai Mao should not come over to make trouble.

Although Cai Mao came to make trouble, Liu Zheng was not afraid, but Cai Mao now has some useful value for Liu Zheng, and there is no need to turn against Cai Mao. Liu Zheng also wants to support Cai Mao and gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou.

Only when Cai Mao has firmly stood firm and has enough voice in Jingzhou, can Liu Zheng join forces with Cai Mao when he is in Jiaozhou.

"Okay, if that's all, then I promise you."

"Then I'll make up that way. Brother-in-law, now I've stood firm in Jiaozhou. It only takes some time to rectify a powerful army. Don't worry, no matter what you say, it's Cai Yao's elder brother. I will definitely not treat you badly. After clearing Sun Jian, I will let Guo Shi withdraw his troops, and Jingzhou will be left to you intact."

"At that time, with the merit of suppressing the rebellion, you will definitely be the most trusted general under Liu Biao, and your future is limitless!"

Liu Zheng once again made a promise to Cai Mao, so that Cai Mao would understand a bright future, right in front of him.

The expression on Cai Mao's face was obviously moved, but he didn't say much. I don't know if he believed what Liu Zheng said more or expressed doubts about what Liu Zheng said.

After a moment of silence, Cai Mao spoke again.

"Yaoyao, how is she?"

After talking about the main business, Cai Mao couldn't help but inquire about Cai Yao's news from Liu Zheng.

In Cai Mao's opinion, Cai Yao is already Liu Zheng's person. In fact, although Cai Yao is interested in Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng and Cai Yao have not broken the window paper yet, and are just ordinary friends.

However, Liu Zheng was also shocked by Cai Mao's sudden questioning and immediately stuttered and didn't know how to reply to Cai Mao.

"Ah? That, Yaoyao, she is pretty good."

"Well, I watched her grow up. I have never left me for so long. I'm afraid I haven't seen her for almost a year. I don't know what this girl is like now."

Liu Zheng could still feel Cai Mao’s love for Cai Yao.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry. When the war stops, I will take Cai Yao back to find you. Let your brother and sister meet you."

Liu Zheng didn't know if Cai Yao was willing to go back, but now that she has been away from home for so long, Cai Yao, a girl, should be homesick, and it's time to let her go back.

Cai Mao nodded and said nothing more. They were originally divided into two different camps, and it was impossible for them to stay here for too long.

After talking about the main business, Cai Mao quickly said goodbye to Liu Zheng. The two sides agreed and left separately after the time of the discussion.

Liu Zheng quickly returned to Wuling County City with his men.

A few days later, news came, and Cai Mao and Sun Jian disagreed. The soldiers who had finally gathered together finally parted ways in a few days.
