Chapter 35
Cai Mao was crying. "Eunuch, please save my Cai family. The father and son of the Sun family are so good at killing. Once they enter the manor, my Cai family will definitely be stained with blood, and all the young and old will be left behind. The envoy was ordered by the emperor to be in charge of this state. My Cai family supports it with full support and dare not slack off at all. If this causes disaster for the family destruction, I am afraid that the people of Jingxiang will be disheartened."
Liu Biao was embarrassed and uneasy. "Degui, I have sent someone to invite Yidu, don't worry. When Yidu comes, I will ask him to send troops to support him immediately."
As he was speaking, Kuai Yue walked in quickly, rushed to Liu Ping, and bowed. "Empress, something big is not good."
"What's wrong?" Liu Biao straightened up and his face changed slightly.
"Sun Ce... entered the Cai family manor." Kuai Yue turned his head and looked at Cai Mao, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Cai Mao was shocked, jumped up, grabbed Kuai Yue's collar, and shouted: "Kuai Yidu, are you satisfied now?"
Kuai Yue didn't say a word, slowly pushed Cai Mao away, and looked at Liu Biao intently. Liu Biao also felt his scalp numb, and he felt that Kuai Yue's eyes were wrong, and he asked quickly: "Yi Du, what's going on? Why did Sun Ce break through the Cai family manor so quickly?"
"The envoy was not captured by Sun Ce, but invited by the Cai family."
"Please... go in?" Liu Biao and Cai Mao exclaimed at the same time. Cai Mao then reacted, his eyes rolled, and shouted sternly: "Kuai Yidu, don't talk nonsense. My Cai family is dedicated to supporting the envoy, and it is impossible for him to have any contact with Sun Jian. Even if it is due to Zhang Gong's face, he will not..."
"Enough." Liu Biao became more annoyed the more he listened, and he interrupted Cai Mao sternly.
What is the Cai family doing? Do you really want to marry Sun Jian? That's the concubine that the Cai family wants to give to him, and was taken away by Sun Jian halfway. What's going on? It's not that he cares about a woman. He has been married for many years. His wife is a descendant of a famous family and has three sons and one daughter. Even if he is not around for the time being, he will not have to take Cai Mao's sister as a concubine. This is just a political marriage and a bond for him to strengthen his relationship with the Cai family. Now that Sun Jian takes action halfway, he naturally wants to compete with him for the support of the Cai family. Cai Mao changed his words so quickly and reserved a way out. He obviously was worried about not giving him military power before. Once he had the opportunity to join forces with Sun Jian, he immediately had a new idea and put the blame on him and Kuai Yue.
"What should I do if the different degrees?" Liu Biao glared at Kuai Yue. The Cai family waited for half an hour before opening the door, and Kuai Yue refused to send military affairs to the forefront.
Kuai Yue thought for a moment. "Emister, I have sent someone to check if there are any ambushes around me. Once the safety is confirmed, I will immediately send troops out of the city. Whether the Cai family has to ask Sun Ce to enter the village due to threats or has a real engagement, Sun Ce cannot be allowed to occupy Caizhou for a long time. The Sun family's father and son are cruel, and if they are not careful, the Cai family may become fish on the anvil. Once the Cai family falls into Sun Ce's hands, with the Cai family's manpower and material resources, it is likely to become a elbow and armpit in Xiangyang."
Liu Biao became more and more uneasy the more he thought about it. "Then...when will we send troops?"
"Don't be anxious." Kuai Yue was confident. "I have found out clearly that Sun Ce was crossing the Mian River with a raft. The Mian River is still deep. As long as we use naval warships to surround Caizhou, Sun Ce will be unable to fly. Even if Sun Jian sends troops to rescue him, it will be useless. He is Sun Jian's eldest son. As long as he is captured alive, we can force Sun Jian to withdraw his troops. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that the Cai family will be affected and will inevitably be damaged."
Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue and wanted to slap him. He understood that Kuai Yue had been waiting for this moment earlier, right? He remembered that Kuai Yue had lured Zong Shuai. Those people were Kuai Yue's friends before, but Kuai Yue didn't even blink when he killed him. Thinking about Kuai Yueqian He Jinru's cheating, Liu Biao realized that Kuai Yueyuan was colder than he thought, and he even wanted to move the Cai family.
Cai Mao also heard what Kuai Yue meant, and immediately changed his face, but did not speak, but just looked at Liu Biao with a cold look. Liu Biao was uneasy and coughed, "Degui, what do you think?"
Cai Mao sneered: "When Sun Ce first arrived in Caizhou, there were only 300 soldiers, and Yidu refused to send troops. Now Sun Ce entered my Cai family, but Yidu wanted to send troops. I don't know what the purpose is? Although our Cai family is weak, there are hundreds of soldiers. Although it is shabby, there are also several powerful crossbows. Will Yidu be afraid of being hit by a trap?"
Kuai Yue frowned. "What Degui means is, let's ignore Sun Ce?"
"Caizhou is in the Mian River, and is more than ten miles away from Xiangyang City. No matter how long Sun Ce's hand is, he cannot attack Xiangyang City, right? Do you think it is easier to attack Caizhou than to defend the city? Or do you want to flatten Caizhou?"
"Degui, you misunderstood. How could I have such an idea?" Kuai Yue smiled bitterly: "Eunuch, I delayed military operations, which has caused the current crisis. Please let me resign from my military power and send other good soldiers to lead the troops to defend the city."
Liu Biao sighed in his heart. Knowing that Kuai Yue was not meant to do anything, he could not let Kuai Yue resign from his military power at this moment. Cai Mao had always wanted military power, but Cai Feng opened the door to welcome Sun Ce to Caizhou, so how could he dare to let Cai Mao take charge of the troops? Who knew what the Cai family had to do with the Sun family? If Cai Mao and Sun Ce cooperated inside and outside, Xiangyang City would be in danger.
"You don't have to blame yourself too much." Liu Biao's mouth was bitter, but he had to pretend to be a smile. "Even if Sun Ce occupied Caizhou, it would be difficult to endanger Xiangyang. The proverb says: If you want to throw a rat, you are afraid of weapons. We cannot destroy Caizhou because of Sun Ce's rat."
"Here!" Kuai Yue's face was calm. "Even if we don't attack Caizhou, we can't take it lightly. The Cai family is rich and the autumn harvest has just ended. The Cai family warehouse is full of grain. If Sun Ce transports this grain to Sun Jian, it will be very unfavorable for us. What if he tastes the taste and goes to plunder the families on the west bank of the Mianshui River? "
Liu Biao was extremely depressed and wanted to curse. "In case, you should transfer the navy to surround Caizhou and trap Sun Ce. No matter how much food the Cai family has, there will always be a time to finish eating. Once Sun Ce leaves Caizhou, attack immediately."
Kuai Yue looked at Cai Mao. "What do Degui think?"
Cai Mao had already sat back, with a dark face and said nothing. After hearing Kuai Yue's words, he bowed slightly. "The envoy, Mao serves the envoy, and his father had to open the door to greet the thieves. The father and son had different paths, and it was a misfortune for both families. Mao is now alone and dare not have any extravagant hopes. He only hopes to be loyal to the ministers and have a pure heart to live up to the envoy."
Before Liu Biao could speak, Kuai Yue sighed: "Although I have no intention of hurting the Cai family, the Cai family was damaged by me, and I cannot refuse to blame him. At the time of war, I dare not be afraid to confront the battle. If I can survive after repelling Sun Jian, I will definitely apologize to Mr. Cai."
At this moment, someone from the Cai family came. Cai Mao went out. It took not long and came back and bowed to Liu Biao.
"The envoy is really ashamed. In order to protect the lives of hundreds of people in the Cai family, my father had no choice but to offer his second sister to Sun Jian's subordinates, and could not serve the envoy."
Liu Biao's face was so hot that he seemed to have been slapped twice. He glared at Kuai Yue fiercely, and Kuai Yue lowered his head and said nothing.
