When Pang Tong returned to the army, he saw Cao Shu waiting for him. He turned over and saluted immediately: "How dare you bother the young master to welcome him?"

"Shi Yuan entered Xiangyang alone, not even caring about his safety. It is also necessary for me to come and greet him." Cao Shu smiled and replied, then looked at Cai Mao: "General Cai is here too?"

Cai Mao hurriedly saluted Cao Shu: "I've seen the young master."

"This is not a place to talk, let's talk about it when you go back to the tent." Cao Shuo greeted and led Pang Tong and others to the tent.

When they arrived at the camp, Guo Jia stopped the generals: "Young Master and Shi Yuan must have something to say. Please stay first, let's go patrol the military camp."

The generals stopped and looked at Cao Shu hesitantly.

Seeing that Cao Shu had no intention of trying to keep them, they followed Pang Tong one after another.

"General Cai is here, there are too many people, so it may not be convenient to speak." Cao Shuo said to Cai Mao with a smile: "Mr. Guo sent everyone away. General and I are old friends, so it is much more convenient to speak."

"It's still the young master who is thinking about Zhou Xiang." Cai Mao thanked Cao Shuo.

After entering the tent, Cao Shuo asked Pang Tong: "What do you say about Liu Jingsheng?"

"He was still a little hesitant." Pang Tong said: "I only asked him to give Liu Xuande's head, but he never let go."

Cao Shu frowned slightly, and said with a cold face: "Liu Xuande and Dong Cheng and others conspired to murder his father, how could I tolerate him? He must die."

"Don't worry, young master." Seeing that Cao Shuo's face was not good, Cai Mao hurriedly said: "As long as I am here, I will definitely be able to convince Duke Jing Sheng to chop off Liu Xuande's head."

"I believe in General Cai, but Liu Jingsheng doesn't let go. Who dares to do anything to Liu Xuande?" Cao Shuo said: "It seems that I can only order the army to attack the city, and then encircle and annihilate Liu Bei until it captures Jingzhou."

"Actually, Mr. Jing Sheng has already let go." When Cao Shu said this, Cai Mao was shocked and said quickly: "Liu Xuande caused him so much trouble, how could he still provide shelter?"

"What General Cai said makes sense." Cao Shuo nodded with his chin and said, "What should I do if he follows General Cai?"

"Young Master believes in me?" Cai Mao was stunned.

After patting his arm gently, Cao Shuo said with a smile: "General Cai and I are old friends, so I shouldn't say anything. If one day you can't survive in Jingzhou, the position of the commander of the navy under my command will still be waiting for you."

Cao Shu's words made Cai Mao's heart even more turbulent.

As long as Cao Shu is here, even if Jingzhou falls into the hands of the Cao family, he will at least retain some power.

"With this words from the young master, I should do my best to consider the young master." Cai Mao said: "Mr. Jing Sheng is indecisive. Recently, Liu Xuande deceived him. Sending troops into Yuzhou was actually a trouble for him. Now that the Cao family's army has entered Jingzhou, Duke Jing Sheng is already afraid. He dared not agree to the young master, but he simply did not see the young master's sincerity..."

"Sincerity?" Cao Shu asked, "What sincerity do you want?"

"As long as the young master retreats, Duke Jingsheng will definitely bring Liu Xuande's head to the young master." Cai Mao replied.

"Retreat?" Cao Shu shook his head and said, "If I retreat, Liu Jingsheng will not give me Liu Bei's head. Could it be that I will send troops to Jingzhou again? Even if I send troops, Jingzhou is already prepared, and it may not be easy to go to Xiangyang."

Cao Shu's words made Cai Mao not know what to say.

"Young Master, in fact, General Cai has one more thing to ask you." Cai Mao didn't know what to say, Pang Tong said from the side.

"General Cai has something to ask me for?" He tilted his head and looked at Cai Mao, and Cao Shu asked, "What's the matter?"

Cai Mao looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"The young master knows that the eldest son of the Jingsheng family was not born to Mrs. Cai." Pang Tong said: "General Cai wanted to ask the young master for help and find a way to let the second son inherit Jingzhou."

"Let Liu Cong inherit Jingzhou?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "The key is that Liu Qi is not a concubine, and it may not be reasonable according to common sense."

"Young master is very good at hand and eyes, and there will always be a solution." Cai Mao said with his head down.

"Do you want me to kill Liu Qi?" Cao Shuo asked.

Cai Mao's head lowered, and he didn't dare to look at Cao Shu at all.

"It's very simple to kill Liu Qi. The question is why I did that?" Cao Shu asked again.

"As long as the young master is willing to solve this trouble for his sister, I will do whatever it takes." Cai Mao responded with his head down.

"You really want to do anything?" Cao Shuo's mouth curled up with a strange smile, and his eyes staring at Cai Mao became more and more sharp.

"As long as the young master proposes, as long as it is not destroyed, Jingzhou." Cai Mao said: "I will definitely go through fire and water."

"You don't have to go through fire and water." Cao Shu said: "You said that King Jing Sheng did not see my sincerity and refused to send Liu Xuande's head easily. I don't plan to make things difficult for him..."

"Young Master is willing to withdraw his troops?" Cai Mao asked in surprise.

"I will show my sincerity, and Duke Jing Sheng must show some sincerity," Cao Shuo opened his hands and said, "Let Duke Jing Sheng give me one million yuan to pay for the army to go to war, General Cai thinks it is not too much?"

"One million hang?" Cai Mao was so shocked that he didn't even close his mouth: "I'm afraid Mr. Jing Sheng..."

"What?" Cao Shu asked: "Isn't Jingzhou worth one million coins for Duke Jingsheng?"

Cai Mao licked his lips, lowered his head again and said, "According to the young master, I will do this, just..."

"Is there any difficulty for General Cai?" Cao Shuo asked.

"One million hang is indeed..." Cai Mao wanted to say too much, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only swallow the words back.

"General Cai might as well go back and explore the whim first, and then have a gaze with his wife." Cao Shuo said: "Tomorrow morning, I will wait for Jing Shenggong at the place you and Shi Yuan have discussed."

"I'll take it back first." Already covered in cold sweat, Cai Mao bowed and retreated.

After sending him out of the handsome tent, Pang Tong turned around and came back.

Entering the tent, Pang Tong asked: "The young master asked Liu Jingsheng for a million yuan of copper coins, I'm afraid he may not be willing to take it."

"I have told Shi Yuan a long time ago that we should be generous." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "What is the purpose of being generous? First of all, we should put forward the conditions and give them a chance to bargain. I want a million yuan, and Liu Jingsheng would not agree at once. He will definitely try to give less, but I give in. We earned as much as he gives. And he will be grateful in his heart, feeling that we did not kill them all. It is better than if I quoted a very low amount at the beginning, so that he had no room for bargaining. Even if he couldn't get a copper coin, Liu Jingsheng felt really unhappy."

Pang Tong was full of black lines.
