After Cai Mao made up his mind, he immediately arranged for domestic slaves in the house, resettled Yi Ji, and kept a close eye on him. Yi Ji was now in Cai Mao's hands, and the only collateral for this transaction must not be lost.
After doing this, Cai Mao returned to the study and summoned a close steward.
"Immediately arrange for people to relocate Wenpin and Wang Wei's family and clan to the new wilderness. You must do it quickly before Liu Biao finds out, and arrange for twenty shipwrights.
Went there together with the boatman’s boy.”[
Cai Mao ordered.
"Nuo." This confidant butler was very calm. Hearing that Cai Mao had done something sorry for Jing Chu, he still listened calmly and agreed.
"Okay. Go down. Remember everything must be done quietly." Cai Mao was very satisfied with this and said.
"promise."
The butler promised again, turned around and walked away.
"This time it's a gamble to see if I, Cai Mao, can really dominate Jingchu. Even Liu Biao and Kuai Yue can no longer check and balance." After the steward left, Cai Mao's eyes burst out with a strong light, a light of ambition.
Wenpin and Wang Wei's clans are not gentry clans, because if they are gentry clans, they rarely take the path of pure military generals. However, Wenpin and Wang Wei's clans are still quite powerful among Jingchu.
The gentry are like the officials of later generations, while the powerful are like ordinary landowners.
The two clans have a population of hundreds. It is not an ordinary thing to move these people, but there are three people in Jingzhou who can do it.
Cai Mao is one of them.
After accepting Cai Mao's order, the housekeeper first divided a confidant and went to Wang Wei's clan to meet Wang Wei's parents and brothers. He himself came to Wenpin's house.
Wenpin's father is still alive, his name is Wenxiu. He is a very healthy old man, and much smoother than Wenpin. When he learned that Cai Mao's housekeeper asked for an audience, he immediately invited him into the mansion.
"I wonder what the butler wants when he comes to visit?"
After leading the housekeeper into the study, Wen Xiu asked politely. He knew that his son had fallen into Xinye and Fancheng, and Cai Mao had sent the housekeeper here at this time, so there must be something big going on.
"Your son Wenpin has surrendered to Lu Su, and you will be killed soon. I have been ordered to come and tell you, and I will be responsible for transporting you to Jiangbei."
The butler spoke.
"What?" Wen Xiu was shocked and inexplicable. He could never have imagined that his loyal son could actually surrender to Lu Su.
However, Wen Xiu was also very courageous and said: "Okay, I will go and make preparations immediately."
"Take the true clan members with you. There is no need to take away the family slaves and family property. Since Lu Su has recruited Wenpin, he will not treat him badly."[
Seeing this, the housekeeper nodded and said.
"Okay." Wen Xiu nodded again and said.
Immediately afterwards, the housekeeper stood up to say goodbye. After Wen Xiu saw the housekeeper off in person, he immediately sent people to notify some people in the clan. On the other hand, Wang Wei's elders also agreed. Soon after, the Wen family and the Wang family
Hundreds of members of the clan disappeared quietly inside and outside Xiangyang.
Twenty shipwrights followed him.
This time, Yi Ji not only completed the task brilliantly, but also brought Liu Feng a breakthrough in naval warfare and an opportunity to conquer Xiangyang.
