Chapter 202

Cai Mao sat in the lobby, looking at Liu Xiu who had left, his eyes were scared. He wanted to refuse Liu Xiu's request, but he was on Liu Cong's side and had to consider it for him. Once Liu Qi became a big man, Liu Cong's situation would be in danger.

Therefore, even if Cai Mao knew it, there was no way to stop it.

He got up to change his clothes and went to the prefecture.

Prefecture, study.

Cai Mao saluted Liu Biao and sat upright.

Liu Biao was in low spirits, with two heavy bags under his eyes and face, staring at Cai Mao, and said feebly, "military adviser, what's the matter?"

Cai Mao said, "my Lord, I heard that Liu Bei came to Xiangyang and borrowed food from him?"

Liu Biao rubbed his sour eyes and said, "it's true."

Cai Mao's heart was tight, and he said: "did the Lord agree?" Once Liu Biao agrees to Liu Bei, it will be difficult to deal with the matter, and it must be stopped in advance.

"Not for the time being!"

Liu Biao opened his legs and leaned back against the wall, making his body comfortable.

Cai Mao was relieved when he heard the speech.

Liu Biao narrowed his eyes and said, "military adviser, what do you think of Liu Bei's borrowing grain?"

Cai Mao regained his composure and said, "my Lord, although Liu Bei is in Xinye for the time being, he is not willing to leave. It is said that Liu Bei's troops have exceeded 10000, and they are all elite. Most importantly, it is still unknown how many soldiers Liu Bei has hidden in Xinye. Lord, if you lend food to Liu Bei, it's a loan but not a return. Besides, you're still raising a tiger. Please think twice. "

"Alas..."

When Liu Biao heard the speech, he couldn't help sighing.

"Why do you sigh?" Cai Mao asked

Liu Biao said: "Cao Cao has been planning Jingzhou for a long time. Cao Cao is covetous. Liu Bei is in Xinye, so he can resist the attack of Cao thieves. If Liu Bei is not lent food, Liu Bei will be in trouble. I don't know Liu Bei's ambition. If he is not loyal to Gongsun Zan, or to Yuan Shao, or to Cao Cao, he can't yield to me. It's just that I need him to be in Xinye. I can't help it! "

When Cai Mao heard that Liu Biao was afraid of Liu Bei, he felt at ease.

In this way, it is much easier to make trouble for Liu Bei.

Cai Mao said slowly: "Lord, you need Liu Bei to be in Xinye. It's necessary. But from a different perspective, Liu Bei can only take Xinye as his seat. He has no choice. "

"Why?" Liu Biao asked.

Cai Mao explained: "Lord, just think, will Liu Bei submit to Cao Cao?"

Liu Biao said without hesitation: "absolutely impossible."

Cai Mao said: "since Liu Bei can't yield to Cao Cao, he can only stay in Xinye. Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye and took the initiative. Once Liu Bei leads his army into Xiangyang, he will be completely under the control of the Lord. "

"Liu Bei, the hero of the time, has a unique vision and is quite extraordinary."

"In order to save his troops, Liu Bei could not go south to Xiangyang unless he attacked Xiangyang. It is impossible for Liu Bei to withdraw unless he has to, because he will not hand over military power and let the Lord control him. "

"Therefore, even if the Lord does not give food, Liu Bei has nothing to do."

Cai Mao's eyes twinkled, and said: "to some extent, if the Lord gives Liu Bei less grain, he can not only beat Liu Bei, but also test Liu Bei's grain storage in Xinye and the number of troops."

After listening to Liu Biao, he had a look of emotion in his eyes.

In fact, Cai Mao's judgment is correct, Liu Bei can not easily withdraw into Xiangyang.

Xinye is located in the border between Cao Cao and Liu Biao. Liu Bei survives in the crevice and can keep his autonomy. Once Liu's forces are limited, Liu may enter the hinterland.

Liu Bei is also scrupulous about this.

In Liu Biao's turbid eyes, he flashed a touch of fine awn and said: "military adviser, how much food is suitable for Liu? If we don't give any food, I'm afraid it won't make sense. "

Cai Mao said with a smile: "Lord, I think ten thousand stone grain is more suitable. Not many, not many. "

"Well, according to the commander."

Liu Biao felt at ease.

Although Liu Biao is old, he knows that Liu Bei is ambitious. If he connives at Liu Bei, he must be raising a tiger for trouble, so he doesn't reuse Liu Bei either. He just leaves Liu Bei in Xinye and lets Liu Bei confront Cao Cao.

Cai Mao got up to leave, and then went to Liu Cong's yard.

Liu Cong said, "uncle, how did you come to my yard today?" Cai Mao looked at Liu Cong, and his fierce eyes made Liu Cong's eyes erratic. He did not dare to face Cai Mao's eyes. The atmosphere was solemn for a moment.

Liu Cong said, "what's the matter with uncle?"

Cai Mao said: "Cong childe, how do you feel about day, day, publicity and lust?"

"OK, it's still..."

As soon as Liu Cong spoke, he closed his mouth.

Cai Mao found that Liu Cong's face was very wrong. There was a kind of room after the incident. He had a guess in his heart, and then he had a tentative words. He didn't expect that it was so.Cai Mao sighed: "Mr. Cong, can't you read more books and care more about government affairs?"

Liu Cong lowered his head and said, "what my uncle taught me."

Cai Mao opened his mouth to say something about Liu Xiu, but when he got to his mouth, he swallowed it. Compared with Liu Cong and Liu Xiuyi, there is no comparison.

Cai Mao changed his way of thinking and said, "Liu Qi got Liu Bei's help in Xinye. He jumped up and made great achievements. The Lord also praised Mr. Qi. He mentioned Mr. Qi several times and said that he had done very well. It's impossible to put it in the original place. Mr. Cong, please don't let Liu Qi and Liu Xiu go ahead, and spend more time on business. "

Liu Cong nodded and said, "yes, Cong'er understands."

In front of CAI Mao, Liu Cong nodded all the time. This scene made Cai Mao sigh, and finally he was speechless.

There was nothing to talk about. Cai Mao turned and left.

At this moment, in CAI Mao's heart, there was the idea of regret, and even the idea of giving up Liu Cong. I just thought that my relationship with Liu Xiu was very stiff, so I finally had to let it go.

On the contrary, Liu Cong, looking at Cai Mao's back, soon returned to the room, and there was a sound of Pa Pa PA.

……

In Liu Xiu's yard, he got the news that Cai Mao met Liu Biao.

In this way, Liu Xiu was relieved.

Cai Mao's ability is not particularly outstanding, but he has a clear understanding of Liu Biao's character. Cai Mao personally went to persuade Liu Biao that even if he promised to give Liu Bei food, it would not be too much.

In the study, Pang Tong and Liu Xiu sit opposite each other.

Pang Tong said: "Lord, it has been some days since you returned to Xiangyang. When do you plan to leave?"

Liu xiudao: "Liu Bei came to Xiangyang to borrow grain. I want to stop it and make it more difficult for Liu Bei. This time, I may stay in Xiangyang for a few days

Pang Tong nodded and said, "if so, I will go back to you county first. Taishici has fallen into the trap, and the power of Yuzhang county has weakened. Now is a good opportunity to attack Yuzhang county. Only by rushing back one step can we make a layout again. "

"Yes

Liu Xiu said: "you inform Deng Zhan to take the soldiers South and take Lu Su with you."

Pang Tong said, "don't you leave the soldiers to protect the Lord?"

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "this is Xiangyang. There will be no problem. What's more, with the yellow tiger by my side, it doesn't matter. "

Pang Tong thought about it, but he didn't feel any problem. He nodded and agreed.

During these days in Xiangyang, Pang Tong and Pang Degong had a family relationship and met his younger brother Pang Lin. Pang Lin was responsible for his family's affairs and Pang Degong was responsible for them. Pang Tong didn't need to worry. Instead of staying in Xiangyang and having nothing to do, it's better to go south to you county and strive to break down Yuzhang County as soon as possible.
