Liu Qi's mind is in a mess. He doesn't even know how he survived. After everyone left, he sat down on the throne, and Liu Qi also sat down.
When Liu Qi recovered, he looked at Liu Cong sitting at the bottom and said, "second brother, what's the situation like now?"
Liu Cong shrugged and said, "what can I do? Even my father is not Zhang Xiu's opponent. Besides, what about us? In today's situation, I'm afraid we can only surrender. What else can we do if we don't conform. "
Compared with Liu Qi, Liu Cong is more cowardly.
Liu Cong even said: "in fact, if you think about it, it's not bad to submit to Zhang Xiu. It's good to be a rich man. "
"You, you..."
After hearing this, Liu Qi said angrily, "you are in vain to be Liu's son. It is said that sun CE killed your father. We really have a deep hatred with sun CE, but I always feel that Zhang Xiu's plan must be his own. "
Liu Cong said, "if you have a way, you can deal with Zhang Xiu."
Liu Qi was even more furious.
As he rolled his eyes, he suddenly thought of CAI, his stepmother Cai, who came from the Cai family. If CAI can convince Cai Mao, as long as Cai Mao stands on his side, he will have a chance.
Liu Qi hummed. Without taking charge of Liu Cong, she got up and went to the back yard to see CAI. He immediately talked about CAI Mao's and Kuai Liang's transgression and said, "mother, now my Liu family's foundation depends on the Cai family. As long as his mother persuades his uncle to take control of the army and Xiangyang City. With the help of Xiangyang's defense, we are able to resist Zhang Xiu. "
Cai sighed: "but Zhang Xiu is not easy to deal with."
Liu Qi said: "mother, if you are in Jingzhou, you can do whatever you want. There are all kinds of delicacies and treasures. But if we surrender to Zhang Xiu, our family will become a cage bird of Zhang Xiu. At that time, there will be no chance. Does mother really want to be a cage bird without any of her own
Although Liu Qi is afraid, but Liu Qi is not reconciled.
Now he took over the seal of Jingzhou animal husbandry and became Jingzhou animal husbandry. However, Liu Qi is unwilling to let him hand over the seal ribbon to Zhang Xiu and give up his right.
Cai frowned and worried.
Liu Qi continued: "my father died and my mother was alone. If you become a cage bird, you can bully your mother. But as long as we are in Jingzhou, mother can be relaxed and comfortable. Even the Cai family continued to be the largest family in Jingzhou. But after Zhang Xiu took over Jingzhou, even if her uncle turned to Zhang Xiu, the Cai family could not be the only one. "
Cai's wisdom is not great, but he is moved by Liu Qi's words.
What she cares about is her own good.
What she cares about is the power of the Cai family.
Cai said in a deep voice, "but I'm not sure if I can ask your uncle to help you."
After hearing this, Liu Qi had a happy look on her face and said, "when it comes to persuading my uncle, my mother just needs to be present. I'll persuade him myself. Mother, you just need to arrange for someone to invite your uncle to the mansion. It's too obvious to let uncle come now. It's easy to scare the snake. You can tell your uncle to come back after dark. "
"Good!"
Cai agreed.
Liu Qi stopped staying and turned to leave. When he walked out of CAI's yard, there was a trace of coldness in his eyes. As long as Cai Mao arrived at the prefecture, if he was willing to cooperate, it would be fine.
If Cai Mao is not willing to cooperate, he should get rid of CAI Mao first and try to take over the army directly.
Although Liu Qi is still afraid in his heart, he has no choice, because he is not willing to submit to Zhang Xiu, and even less willing to hand over power, which forces Liu Qi to do so.
Cai arranged for someone to inform him. When the servant arrived at the house, he met Cai Mao and said what he wanted.
When Cai Mao heard this, he thought about it in his heart.
It's interesting.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qi wants to see him specially. It is obvious that Liu Qi still has plans and wants to compete with Zhang Xiu. For Liu Qi, Cai Mao doesn't look up to him. Even Liu Biao is not Zhang Xiu's rival, let alone Liu Qi.
However, Cai Mao did not refuse and agreed directly. Cai Mao thought that there were still some things related to welcoming Zhang Xiu, so he went to the Kuai family in person and worked out a plan with the Kuai family and Kuai Yue.
Finally, Cai Mao talked about going to the prefecture.
When Kuai Liang heard this, he said, "De Li, are you going to the prefecture
"Yes
Cai Mao nodded and answered.
Kuai Liang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "if you want to go to the prefecture, I won't stop you. But you have to be careful. If Liu Qi takes risks, he will send his servants to besiege you. With your martial arts, you may not be able to stop it. "
Cai Mao laughed and said, "I've already considered brother zirou's consideration. Liu Qi is supposed to make a final counterattack. If I refuse, he must want to take me first and take control of the army. "
After a pause, Cai Mao said: "in fact, where does he have such an opportunity. What's more, on the day of Liu Biao's departure, the servants of the family have changed, and they have become our people. Even if Liu Qi ordered, he could not mobilize people. In addition, I will also take a team of relatives with me"That's good!"
Kuai Liang said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to your results in the evening."
Cai Mao laughed. He didn't say much, so he got up to leave. When he got back to his house, he took a carriage to leave after dark. Now it's nearly November. It's cold and windy. It's very cold.
Cai Mao also put on a thick cotton padded robe and sat in the carriage. When he arrived at the prefecture, he got out of the carriage and entered with a group of guards. Cai Mao's personal guard, there are more than ten people, all about escort.
This is a precaution.
What if there are other people in the prefecture?
When Cai Mao arrived in the hall, Liu Qi and Cai Shi had been waiting for a long time.
Liu Qi was supposed to propose a toast, but when he was ready to propose a toast, Cai Mao refused directly, saying, "what's the matter with Zhou mu? Just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Liu Qi frowned. Cai Mao didn't give him any face at all, but he asked Cai Mao and said, "uncle, nephew means that it's not cost-effective for our family to submit to Zhang Xiu."
"If our family controls Jingzhou, we are free in Jingzhou. Why should we submit to Zhang Xiu? My nephew means that my uncle will lead the army and destroy the Kuai family. "
"Then, seal off the four gates, and we will garrison with the help of Xiangyang City."
Liu Qi said: "even if Zhang Xiu is strong, Xiangyang City is strong and has a moat. Even if Zhang Xiu had tens of thousands of troops, she could not win Xiangyang. In addition, we can also call on the four prefectures to set up troops to rescue. "
"No use!"
Cai Mao directly shook his head and refused, saying, "your little trick is like a joke. Liu Qi, don't mess about. The more you toss, the more you lose in the end. If you want to hold your life, be obedient. During the day, I've already said that if you want to toss, you will be killed. "
"Uncle, are you really unwilling to help me?"
Liu Qi's eyes are full of killing intention. He wanted to be nice and discuss with CAI Mao, but Cai Mao refused. Under such circumstances, Liu Qi directly threatened.
Cai Mao sneered: "you're a fool. You're not worth my service."
"Somebody
Liu Qi gave a big drink.
In a flash, a black clad swordsman quickly came forward and surrounded Cai Mao.
Liu Qi face with confidence and calm expression, coldly said: "uncle, if you don't want to, don't blame me."
"Ha ha ha..."
Cai Mao laughed.
Liu Qi said, "what are you laughing at?"
After half a sound, Cai Mao stopped laughing and waved. In a flash, all the people in black who had just entered the hall withdrew from the hall and hid one by one.
This scene, let Liu Qi stare big eyes.
How is that possible?
Why do all the private soldiers in your family listen to Cai Mao.
Cai Mao stood up and came to Liu Qi. As soon as he reached out, he grabbed Liu Qi's clothes and said, "do you see that? With your ability, you want to deal with me. It's too weak. Also want to deal with Zhang Taiwei, you are a waste. Be obedient, or you will die. "
He pushed hard, Liu Qi fell to the ground, his face looked stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
Cai Mao looked at Cai Shi, warned him again, then turned and left.
Liu Qi looks at Cai Mao's back and despair. Even the private soldiers in his family have completely surrendered to Zhang Xiu. He has no chance any more.
The Liu family is over!
