"For the sake of the present, only by eliminating the Cai family can we protect Jingzhou from danger..."

After listening to Kuai Yue's suggestion, Kuai Liang thought for a long time and shook his head slowly: "There is no need to be a hurry for a while. Most of the relatives and friends of the Cai family are in the army. Once the plan is not in close contact, even if Cai Mao is killed, it will inevitably lead to a civil war in Jingzhou.

In this way, how can Jingzhou resist foreign enemies?"

"Brother, I know you are concerned about Jingzhou..." Kuai Yue said anxiously, "But at this moment, it is not the time to hesitate. If you stop breaking, it will cause trouble.

Do you know that Cai Xun has been in and out frequently these days, and his places are all places where soldiers are stationed outside Xiangyang. His misconduct is obvious..."

"Huh~~!" Kuai Liang sighed lightly and said sadly, "Look at it again..."

.

The next day, Cai Mao summoned the ministers of Jingzhou at the provincial governor's office and discussed the succession again.

After a brief talk last night, Cai Mao had no hope of compromising the Kuai Liang brothers, and his attitude became particularly tough. He advocated that Liu Cong succeeded to the throne with his followers.

Kuai Yue refuted without hesitation and pointed out that Cai Mao's inheritance document was fake.

Cai Mao took out the document without fear and asked Kuai Yue to point out where it was fake. After Kuai Liang left last night, Cai Mao rushed to call Wang Can into the mansion and ordered him to correct the problems pointed out by Kuai Liang and make careful comparisons to prevent any more loopholes.

Kuai Yue took the document and read it carefully. After sneering, he told Cai Mao with a sneer that although several problems in the document were corrected, there was still a secret mistake.

Cai Mao didn't believe it, and Kuai Yue pointed out the problem in front of everyone's statement, and took out many handwritten books from Liu Biao for on-site comparison. As Kuai Yue said!

This result made many people doubt the authenticity of the inherited documents! Cai Mao and his followers were embarrassed and embarrassed, and they couldn't help but become furious, yelling Kuai Yue and disrespect Liu Biao's last order. They had the intention of usurping the rebellion.

Kuai Yue did not retreat or give in, and pointed out that Cai Mao was the real usurpant minister who forged Liu Biao's will. Immediately, the ministers of the Cai and Kuai started a fierce debate, and the scene was full of gunpowder.

In desperation, Cai Mao asked his sister Liu Biao's second wife Cai and Liu Cong to express his voice. Cai and Liu Cong spoke with crying voices, begging the ministers to understand the situation of the orphan and widowed mother and obey Liu Biao's last order. Don't make things difficult for them.

Cai Mao's move actually achieved miraculous results! A neutral general and official who were independent of the two groups of Cai and Kuai. Seeing the miserable appearance of the Cai family, Liu Cong and his son, he couldn't help but feel pity, gave up neutrality, and turned to the side of the Cai family.

After quarreling for 2 or 3 hours, both sides refused to give in. Cai Mao was angry and left, and then Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue also left.

Seeing that the Lord left, the other generals and officials of Jingzhou also left one after another.

The sky above Xiangyang is shrouded under a dark cloud!

.

That night, Cai Mao secretly recruited Huang Zu, Zhang Yun, Wang Can, Song Zhong and other close confidants to the mansion to discuss matters.

"...Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are proud of their talent and are arrogant and domineering, and often regard us as nothing. If they hold the power.

Then I am equal to Jingzhou without a place to stand..." Cai Mao said in a deep voice, "This succession dispute is not only about the overall situation of Jingzhou, but also about our future and destiny."

"Brother Degui said so much, and Huang had long disliked him..." Huang Zu continued to scold him angrily, "He is also a minister under Brother Jingsheng's command, why should their brothers point fingers at Huang?

Even Wenpin's little bastard dared to be disrespectful to Huang. If it weren't for the support of the Kuai family, how could his little captain dare to be so arrogant?" Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue both rebuked Huang Zu for reasons of unfavorable combat when they were in charge of Jiangdong.

Huang Zu, who is not very broad-minded, always keeps this in mind.

"According to the current situation, it may not be easy to get the second young master to succeed the throne..." Wang Can gently stroked his chin and said hesitantly, "The two Kuai family are not easy to mess with!"

"Hmph~!" Cai Xun, who was in the lower head of Cai Mao, snorted coldly and said fiercely, "Don't do it, never stop. Chop them. See if they can still make trouble?"

"..." Wang Can, Song Zhong and other civil officials looked at each other and saw the shock in the eyes of each other. Although Wang Can and others also hoped that Liu Cong would succeed to the throne and Cai Mao would take power, they never thought of killing Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.

Cai Mao observed the reactions of everyone, and the color of a dark vulture flashed in his eyes.

"This matter needs to be discussed for a long time..." Wang Can felt Cai Mao Senhan's eyes as soon as he spoke, and quickly changed his words, "If you cannot catch all the Kuai family and their accomplices in one place, you will be in chaos!"

Cai Mao's face was slightly slower, and he nodded and said, "What Zhongxuan said is very good. The so-called "I can't cut all the grass, and the spring breeze will grow again."

"Degui, tell me what should I do?" Huang Zu said carelessly, "We all listen to you!"

"Thank you, Brother Wenchang!" Cai Mao nodded and said seriously, "I want to secretly transfer to Zhonglu. 5,000 soldiers from Caiyang (place name of Xiangyang County) returned to Xiangyang. Zhonglu and Caiyang are all my confidants, and they are absolutely reliable.

There are 10,000 troops in Xiangyang City, more than half of which are in our hands. Only Huo Jun's 3,000 people really obeyed the Kuai family. The soldiers and horses in our city, plus Zhonglu and Cai Yang, have more than 10,000. How can we not win with three enemies and one?"

"Duke Cai is indeed a clever plan!" Zhang Yun said with a pleasing voice, "In addition, we are determined to be unprepared, and Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue can't fly out of Xiangyang even if they have the wings!"

Cai Mao continued, "After killing the Kuai family, and then lying Liu Pan to return to Xiangyang, Jingnan can be determined!"

"Director Cai, this matter should be done quickly, and it will be easily noticed by the Kuai brothers!" Zhang Yun advised him.

"Hehe..." Cai Mao suddenly laughed, his face full of pride.

Huang Zu and others looked at Cai Mao for no reason. After a while, Zhang Yun suddenly said, "Director Cai has already..."

Cai Mao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Just when it's ugly tonight! Ren Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue is as cunning as a ghost, and he would not have expected me to take action so quickly. Everyone, success or failure will be here.

If we can kill the Kuai family and we will take over the power of Jingzhou, wouldn’t it be great?”

"Listen to Governor Cai's orders!" Huang Zu and other lieutenant generals stood up and said.

"Okay!" Cai Mao slapped the table in front of him and said with a sigh, "Wenchang, Yuxing (Zhang Yun)..., you can return to your respective subordinates quickly. Once you see the fire in the city, you will send troops to attack Huo Jun's troops and occupy four gates.

Zhongxuan, Xuan Chang (Song Zhong)… You should go back to the mansion as soon as possible and summon the soldiers in the mansion. When they see the fire, they will send troops to attack Erkuai’s mansion!”

"yes!"

...

After everyone left Cai’s mansion and secretly left, Cai Mao looked at the dark and dark sky and showed a cold smile on his face—————————Kuai Liang.

You dare to let Cai be bait; Kuai Yue, you dare to make Cai ugly in public many times! Let’s settle the old hatreds tonight!

"Come here, wear armor for me!" Cai Mao walked towards the inner courtyard and shouted in a deep voice.

Xiangyang, Nancheng Pavilion

Zhuge Liang stood outdoors, looking up at the dark sky, with a complex expression in his eyes.

"Kong Ming. The wind outside is cold, be careful of catching a cold!" Sun Gan's voice sounded from behind.

"Thank you, Lord Gongyou, for your concern!" Zhuge Liang turned around and responded with a smile.

"Today's day is cloudy, no moon or stars, what is Kong Ming looking at?" Sun Gan said in confusion.

"Liang uses the night wind to watch the energy of Xiangyang..." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Looking at the energy of Xiangyang?" Sun Gan showed even more doubts. Zhuge Liang was not old. However, he was well-versed in astronomy and geography, and his extensive knowledge was something that Sun Gan had never seen in his life. Whether it was Liu Bei or military advisor Xu Shu, they all valued Zhuge Liang abnormally.

Even Zhang Fei, who was far away in Jiangdong and had little contact with Zhuge Liang, praised his ability several times.

Zhuge Liang did not disappoint everyone's expectations and showed his talents in military strategy! It is precisely because of this that Zhuge Liang was promoted from Yi Jie Buyi to countless levels in just one year of his effectiveness and was appointed as the right Sima.

Sun Gan, who is quite sensible, knows that this young man's future is absolutely limitless.

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang said with a faint smile, "The wind and clouds flow, revealing the energy of luck."

"Did Kong Ming see something?" Sun Gan was still puzzled. He continued to ask.

"In three or two days, Xiangyang may be in war!" Zhuge Liang said sadly, "And in the future, Xiangyang will not know how many times it will change its master..."

"Wars??!!! Could it be that the internal fighting in Jingzhou is about to begin?" Sun Gan was stunned at first, and then said suddenly, "No wonder you ordered people to go out of the city today to find the Jinfan Navy's whistle!"

"Just just to be on guard!" Zhuge Liang smiled, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes, "Mr. Gongyou. We have also paid condolences to Liu Jingzhou this afternoon. Let's go back to Shouchun tomorrow!"

"Do you have to sit and watch the civil war in Jingzhou?" Sun Ganwei said in amazement.

"Huh~~!" Zhuge Liang sighed and said. "We are all outsiders. We are not suitable and we can't help much! Unless..." At this point, Zhuge Liang stopped.

"Unless what?" Sun Gan asked urgently.

"Can Lord Zhuge be there?" At this time, a man with a family soldier suddenly came to Zhuge Liang and the others.

"What's the matter?" Zhuge Liang looked at the man and asked in harmony.

"My driver is welcome!"

"Master Zirou??!!!!" Zhuge Liang murmured, but a trace of light flashed in his eyes.

"Sir, the carriage and horse are already outside the hall. Please leave with the villain!" the soldier said respectfully.

"Okay, wait a moment!" Zhuge Liang responded, turned his head and said to Sun Gan softly, "Sir Gongyou, there may be a turning point in this matter. Liang will go back!"

"Kong Ming was careful!" Sun Gan took off his cloak and handed it over to Zhuge Liang, and solemnly instructed.

Kuai Liang's mansion, study room

"Kong Ming, I'm really sorry for asking you to come late at night!" Kuai Liang said in a harmonious voice.

"Master Zirou invites you, how dare Liang not respond!" Zhuge Liang gave Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue a younger tribute, and said with a smile, "I don't know what instructions?"

"It's not a question of giving instructions, I just want to ask Kong Ming to plan for me..." Kuai Liang waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Master Zirou, Master Yidu is the smartest and most intelligent in Jingxiang. How dare Liang show off his skills..." Zhuge Liang said modestly, "Master Zirou just talk, Liang listen carefully!"

"You saw it yesterday..." Kuai Liang sighed, "For the successor to Liu Jingzhou, I and Yidu have had a big fight with Cai Mao.

Cai Mao wanted to help the second son take office for his own selfishness. The second son was less than ten years old, so it would be fine if he was in a peaceful and prosperous era. But now it is in a chaotic era and there are constant disputes. Last night, I visited the Cai Mansion in person, intending to lobby, but..."

"Now for the successor, the eldest son and the second son, I, my brother, and Cai Mao must have a fight, and even cause a civil war in Jingzhou..." Kuai Yue said, "In order to protect Jingzhou for no reason, we must find a complete plan. Can Kong Ming have a good plan?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, but did not speak.

"Kong Ming, although we are not blood relatives, I and Yidu have always regarded you as my nephew..." Kuai Liang knew that Zhuge Liang was worried and said earnestly, "I am confused about the authorities in this matter, but you are a bystander.
