Just when Kuai Yue and others were discussing how to rescue Wenpin and Wang Wei and counter the aggressive Lu Su, the Iraqi ships arrived at the south bank of Xiangjiang River.
When the ship docked, Yi Ji stood on the bow and felt a little emotional.
He has lived in Xiangyang City for many years, and has been working for Liu Biao for many years. But he did not expect that he would eventually come back in this capacity.[
"Sir, the ship has docked. Should we go straight to the Zhennan General's Mansion?" This time, not only Yi Ji went south, but also a small official accompanying him. The small official asked Yi Ji.
"Zhennan General's Mansion? That is Liu Biao's territory. It is useless to ask Liu Biao. For matters between Jing and Chu, Cai Mao is the most reliable person." Yi Ji shook his head with a smile and said.
His mission was very clear, which was to exchange Zhang Yun and other generals for Wenpin, Wang Wei's family and clan.
From Yi Ji's point of view, there is no one more reliable than Cai Mao. Zhang Yun is Cai Mao's cousin. Back then, when Yi Ji was in Jingchu, he couldn't stand Cai Mao's relatives, Yuan Xian.
He has a talented style, but now that he has joined Liu Feng, he is extremely lucky to have such a selfish person under Liu Biao.
Therefore, Yi Ji went straight to Cai Mao and did not want to see Liu Biao at all.
"Cai Mao?" the clerk asked doubtfully.
"Yes, Cai Mao." Yi Ji nodded and said.
Immediately afterwards, Yi Ji and the petty officials got off the boat and headed for Xiangyang, and soon arrived outside Cai Mao's mansion.
"Please inform me that Yi Ji wants to see you." Outside Cai Mao's house, Yi Ji stood at the door majestically and asked to see him.
You must know that Yi Ji is also a traitor to Liu Biao. If he is recognized by others, he will be imprisoned.
"Wait a moment." However, the guard did not know who Yi Ji was, so he bent down to salute, turned around and walked in. Soon, the guard came to the outside of Cai Mao's study and walked in.
"Sir, there is a man who claims to be from Iraq asking to see him," the guard reported.
Cai Mao, who was reading a book, was startled when he heard this. He raised his hand and said, "Please come in immediately."
"Promise." The guard promised, turned around and walked out.
To be honest, just as Yi Ji didn't like Cai Mao, Cai Mao didn't like Yi Ji very much. However, Cai Mao also had information and knew that Yi Ji was very popular with Lu Su and even worshiped him as the prefect of Fancheng.
Now, Kuai Yue and Liu Biao were discussing the matter of taking back Wenpin and Wang Wei, but they did not include Zhang Yun. Although Cai Mao wanted to use his family wealth to redeem Zhang Yun, he had not yet taken action.
Now that Yi Ji came to his door automatically, Cai Hao thought it was an opportunity.
Soon, Yi Ji was invited over. After arriving in the study, Yi Ji tidied his clothes a little, and saluted Cai Hao in a very gentle and polite manner: "I have met Mr. Cai."
"Yi Ji, you have betrayed Liu Jingzhou and you still have the nerve to come see me?" Cai Mao, however, turned cold and shouted.[
Yi Ji was indifferent. He knew the talent and appearance. He knew that this was just a show of force. With Zhang Yun in his hands, he was very safe.
"This world belongs to the Han Dynasty. The princes of all parties are nominally guarding the Han Dynasty, and General Lu is also a general of the Han Dynasty. I defected to General Lu. It can be said that I was transferred. How can I say that I betrayed Liu Jingzhou?
What?" Yi Ji said with a smile.
"Sophistry." Cai Mao said coldly.
"Master Cai, you are quite good at speaking quickly. Now, General Zhang Yun is in the hands of our General Lu. I wonder what price Master Cai will pay to take Zhang Yun back?" Yi Ji didn't want to grind his teeth with Cai Mao, so he asked readily.
